The battle of Mangazzeya was fought very hard by the Ming army, which lasted for more than a month, with a total of more than 6,000 casualties.

After the end of the campaign against Russia, the Ming army pushed the battle line to the line of the Ob River, formed a confrontation with the Russian army in the Ob River valley, and pushed across the Ob River into the Volga River, which is the core area of Russia, facing a Russian army of up to 100,000.

At the end of June, Tsarist Russia sent a mission headed by Morozov to the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why Russian Tsar Alexei sent Morozov had a lot to do with the civil strife in Russia, and it was Morozov's salt tax decree that led to the salt merchant rebellion, and Alexei had to issue an edict to exile Morozov to a monastery in order to calm the anger. On this mission, Alexei reactivated Morozov and entrusted him with important tasks.

It's just that the envoys of Tsarist Russia set out from Moscow, and it took more than half a year to reach the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty, during which time the Ming army and the Russian army temporarily ceased war, but the heavy troops on both sides were still hoarded on the front line of the Ob River.

What Zhu Youxiao didn't know was that Morozov's salt tax decree was two years later than in history, and it also delayed the salt merchant rebellion in Tsarist Russia for two full years. The butterfly effect caused by Zhu Youxiao's arrival has spread to the whole world.

"What do you think of the Russian Tsar Alexei's request for peace talks with the Reich?" Regarding the matter of peace talks, Zhu Youxiao first discussed with the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that peace talks with Tsarist Russia should be made, and now in the northwest of the empire, the Dzungaria is fierce, the Yarkand Khanate and the Dzungar are on the verge of fire, the two sides are constantly fighting, and the empire will need at least three to five years to gain something. Although Russia has repeatedly lost in Xipol, it has not hurt the fundamentals, and there are still tens of thousands of Russian soldiers to fight, and the next war with Russia is a hard war for the empire, if the problem in the northwest of the empire is solved, the empire can send troops to the Volga River from both the Lanzhou Prefecture and the Jingshi Prefecture at the same time. Zhao Shujiao suggested.

"Your Majesty, compared to the distance between Russia and the Ob River, the distance between the empire and the Ob River is too far, if we want to carry out with Russia, our army needs to mobilize more than 100,000 to 150,000 troops, we need to mobilize about 400,000 people, and the silver dollar needs more than 5 million taels, and the empire needs years of preparation to launch such a large-scale campaign." Hong Chengchou also agreed with Zhao Shujiao's opinion.

Zhao Shujiao is about to return to his hometown, and Zhu Youxiao is preparing to let Hong Chengchou serve as the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the post of Governor of the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion will be taken over by You Shiwei. You Shiwei has fought several battles with the Russians, and is a general in the empire who knows the Russians better, and if you want to send troops to the Volga River from the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion, You Shiwei is the best candidate.

"I have decided to agree to peace talks with Russia, and the Empire can sign a ten-year truce with Russia." Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while.

"Truce?" Zhao Shujiao asked suspiciously.

"Yes, a truce." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Westerners still have some contract spirit in this regard, and of course we can't completely pin our hopes on this." ”

"I understand."

"Ten years will give the empire time to prepare for the next phase of the war."

……

Although the empire has now suppressed all the military forces that oppose the empire, after these military forces leave the territory of the empire, they are like fish in water. Gushi Khan of the Heshute tribe went to the Mughals, and now Gushi Khan is in the Mughals, having defeated the Mughal army twice, and he controls a large area of land and establishes the Heshut Khanate on the territory of the Mughals.

After the Manchus left, they mixed better in the Americas than the Heshute tribe, and they expanded extremely quickly in the Americas, and there were no countries in the Americas that could fight with them, and they established their own Manchukuo in the Americas the year before.

Now that the Empire is powerless to interfere with their expansion, the Empire has been fighting for several years, and now it is necessary to recuperate and prepare for the complete defeat of Tsarist Russia, which is now the greatest threat to the Empire. In Zhu Youxiao's plan, he must enter Alaska in the next ten years to prepare for the conquest of Manchukuo.

The long-term war had caused the deficit in the treasury to be very serious, and once the foreign wars were all stopped, the empire quickly entered the stage of recuperation. Zhu Youxiao is also idle at the moment, and now nearly ninety percent of political affairs are completely handled by the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Demon Dance?" Fan Guifei asked softly.

"Heavenly Demon Dance?" Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and asked, "Emperor Yuan Shun's favorite dance?" ”

"Exactly." Fan Guifei said with a smile.

"Yuan Shi • Emperor Shun Benji" contains: Emperor Shun was lazy in political affairs, wasted in amusement, and danced "Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance" with sixteen people such as the three holy slaves of the palace maids, Miaole Nu, and Manjushri. In later generations, many people attributed part of the reason for the fall of the Yuan Dynasty to Emperor Yuan Shun's love of "Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance". "Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance" is indeed the pinnacle of song and dance art in the Yuan Dynasty.

"This dance is not lost after the palace banned, do you know how to dance?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously. Zhu Youxiao is still interested in "Sixteen Days of Demon Dance", it is said that this dance is a dance to entertain Buddha, and it is loved by viewers for its solemn and fragrant appearance.

"The Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance" was originally only watched by those who had received secret rings among the palace officials, and others were not allowed to watch it. Fan Guifei said proudly.

"Then I'll take a look at your "Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance" today?" For this dance, Zhu Youxiao is still looking forward to it.

"The difficulty of "Sixteen Heavens Demon Dance" is extremely difficult, the concubine can't dance, and the concubine selected sixteen women to study for more than a year before she can achieve a small success."

"Hearing you say that, I'm looking forward to it. It's better to be happy alone than to be happy, let the concubines come. ”

"No."

……

The Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance is sixteen palace maids, combing their hair into a number of pigtails, wearing a Buddha crown made of ivory, wearing a looming tassel, wearing a bright red miniskirt with gold trim, wearing a gold silk jacket, and a cloud-like shawl on their shoulders, which is extremely charming and sexy. Each of them has a law enforcement weapon in his hand, and one of them holds a bell and pestle to lead the dance, with different postures and seductive eyes. There are also eleven palace maids dressed in white transparent silk clothes with white ribbons tied on their heads, making various sexy movements as backup dancers.

As far as the dance itself is concerned, this dance is nothing if it is placed in later generations, but in this era, the definition of this dance is completely different.
