On August 6, 1755, as the battles of Königsberg, Vienna, and Bohemia were raging, Empress Elizabeth received envoys from the East in St. Petersburg.

"I have invited the envoy of the Kazakh Khanate, Abraj. Kokcha"

In the audience hall of the Elizabeth Palace, in the presence of many high-ranking domestic officials and foreign ministers, the preacher announced loudly.

"Meet Her Majesty the Great Empress of the All-Russian Empire!"

The envoy of the Kazakh Khanate, dressed in a fur coat and a fur hat, knelt on the floor and kowtowed respectfully, attracting the sideways glances of all the European nobles.

The Kazakh Khanate was already a vassal state of the Russian Empire, and in addition to trading spices, tea, silk, cotton, etc., from the East and South Asia, it was also responsible for helping Russia defend itself against attacks from other Central Asian countries, such as the khanates of Khiva and Bukhara.

"Your Majesty the Great Empress, our equally great Abu Mabayt Khan, has annexed the Oirat (i.e., Warat) Khanate, and has become the largest state to dominate Kazakhstan, Nogai, Balkhash, Syr Darya, the Seven Rivers region, Kyzylkum and other places!"

The Oirat Khanate is the Warat Khanate that led to the Ming Emperor Ming Yingzong's Tumubao Rebellion in 1451. However, at this time, Warat had been driven to Central Asia west of the Taklamakan Desert by the Khalkha Mongol tribes who were friendly with the Qing Dynasty, and then lost the battle with the Kazakhs and was annexed for a time, but popped up again when the Dzungars invaded the Kazakhs.

"In order to show our support and help to Her Majesty the Great Empress, our Great Khan specially ordered me to come from afar and present precious treasures to Her Majesty the Great Empress!"

As Coquecha beckoned, several men and women in the same fancy costumes walked up in unison with different treasure boxes in their hands.

"Your Majesty the Great Empress, these are the 108 emerald gemstones treasured by the Great Han of Oirat"

I saw that the first box was filled with green gems larger than quail eggs, crystal clear, and priceless.

Oh –

Wow –

Hiss –

Oh God—

The European envoys were shocked to see so many gems of such high quality at one time, and only the Portuguese, who had been dealing with various Indian states for many years, were so well-informed that they were not intimidated by this situation.

"Your Majesty the Great Empress, this is the treasure sword treasured by the Great Han of Oirat"

A glittering golden sword rested on a wooden shelf and was held high by two servants.

The handle and scabbard of this knife are made of pure gold, and it is inlaid with colorful gemstones, among which the green gem on the handle is several times larger than those in the previous treasure box, which is rare in the world.

Oh –

Wow –

Tsk –

Oh my God—

The hall of the audience resounded with exclamations of exclamation...

"Your Highness, this is the envoy from the Kazakh Khanate that I mentioned to you two months ago."

Outside the stables in a corner of the palace, Deputy Prime Minister Volyntsov took Kokcha, who had just met the Empress, to Peter, who was curiously observing the dwarf Mongolian horses.

"Old man Kokcha, I am glad to hear that His Royal Highness the Great Prince is quite supportive of the Kazakh Khanate, and our Great Khan has ordered His Highness to present valuable gifts to show his gratitude!"

"Haha, oh yes, it's just a little help, how embarrassing is this hahaha"

Peter scratched the back of his head and laughed.

This foreign envoy with a large gray beard looked very kind with a smile, worthy of being sent from thousands of miles to St. Petersburg.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Great Prince likes to play with blades and novelties, so I have specially prepared a few things for this time, I hope His Royal Highness the Great Prince will like it."

I saw that Coctic ordered someone to present several huge sandalwood boxes.

"Oh, that's weird, there's a faint scent"

Peter sniffed at the box and asked suspiciously.

"Haha, worthy of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, I immediately said the beauty of this box"

Seeing this, the Kazakh envoy slapped Peter's ass hard.

"This box is made of a kind of fragrant wood that is unique to the southern coast of the East, this kind of tree can reach up to hundreds of feet, and it takes more than a thousand years to mature, which is quite difficult to find, and the emperor of the Eastern Empire used the thickest trunk of this tree as a support column to support the golden palace, and the coffin after the death of Bliss."

"Oh, no wonder, it's a treasure box—"

Peter praised loudly, and said in his heart that the groove is not agarwood, and when Lao Tzu's Pacific Fleet is formed, it will definitely go to Southeast Asia to occupy these primeval forests, and other royal families in Europe will have to kneel and beg if they want to!

"Hey, this knife is so beautiful, the pattern on the blade has an indescribable abnormal beauty..."

When I opened the treasure box, I saw a long scimitar with a golden handle lying horizontally in it.

The knife is silvery-white and glows softly in the sunlight. In this soft light, there are more than a dozen colorful halos, dazzling and gorgeous, like beautiful stars above the crescent moon.

"Your Highness, this knife is exactly the same as the famous Damascus scimitar of the Ottoman Empire, and it is made of fine iron from the same origin, so it has a unique pattern comparable to the Damascus scimitar."

Deputy Prime Minister Volyntsov said while it was hot.

"Oh? This knife does look a bit like an Ottoman scimitar, but the shape of the knife seems to be a little different, the back is wider and thicker, and the curvature is not as high..."

"That's right, Your Royal Highness the Great Prince, this knife is a fusion of the shape of the saber from the time of Genghis Khan of Mongolia and the forging technology of the Mughal Empire, from the hands of a well-known swordsmith who created an exclusive saber for the Mughal Emperor, it is definitely a treasure knife that cuts gold and jade!"

"Oh—no wonder so... Tsk, what a good knife, hahaha! ”

"Hahaha, Your Highness is really good-eyed!"

Peter laughed, and the other two laughed too.

In this sense, does the Deputy Prime Minister want me to support his advance into the Indian subcontinent?

Peter laughed and pondered...
