Warsaw, Hall of the Polish Royal Palace.

"What? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go to the East for a visit, and he also wants to go to my Daming to see...... Well, that's really great, and I think the Great Tomorrow Son must be very happy to receive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Forbidden City. ”

It was Liu Peng, the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, who seemed to be about to achieve some unexpected results during his trip to Russia, although he did not see Tsar Nicholas I in Warsaw, who was said to have returned to Petersburg early because he was unwell. Now staying in Warsaw to meet Liu Peng is the Russian Crown Prince Alexander. Nikolayevich, during the meeting, the Russian crown prince actually proposed to go to the East for a trip, and also wanted to go to Yingtianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, to meet Zhu Jishi face-to-face.

As long as the Russian crown prince meets Zhu Datianzi, there should be a turnaround in the relations between Ming and Russia, right? After all, the two sides have not officially torn their faces, and Zhu Datianzi and Crown Prince Alexander's sister are good friends who can sleep together. Liu Peng thought uncertainly, and then squinted at Robert Brown, who accompanied him to Warsaw and acted as a mediator between Ming and Russia. Churchill at a glance.

Qiu Fatzi looks like he's going to lose his £100 bet! But he still had a happy expression on his face. Alexander. Nikolayevich's visit to Ming does not illustrate anything -- China and Russia, two military powers of equal strength, will inevitably break out into conflict after they become neighbors, and this is almost the iron law of international politics in Europe for hundreds of years and thousands of years. Qiu Fatzi didn't believe that Zhu Jishi could and Alexander. What consensus will Nikolaevich reach on the issue of the Northern Territories!

Moreover, what is the identity of the Russian crown prince? How pomp should he be on his visit to China? At the very least, a whole fleet should be used to protect it - this is completely in line with international practice. Otherwise, the crown prince was robbed by pirates on his way to China, and the joke would be big. And along the way, you will definitely receive hospitality from various countries. Even if you run 10,000 miles, you don't have to worry about the boat being broken and lacking people. This is equivalent to throwing a relatively powerful Russian naval fleet into the Far East at once! The prime minister of Zhu Jishi became the crown prince of Russia......

"I am also very much looking forward to meeting His Majesty the King in the Ming Kingdom." Alexander, who succeeded in his treacherous scheme. Nikolaevich smiled and nodded. Appears to be extremely cultured.

He paused for a moment, and then said to Liu Peng in very proficient English (he had soaked Queen Victoria and wanted to be the uncrowned king of the British people, of course, he could speak English): "In addition, I would like to visit Japan and meet their kings and ministers." This country has been outside the world of civilization for more than 200 years, and I think it is your duty to persuade Japan to be a part of the world of civilization, right? ”

Alexander. Nikolayevich intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the British envoy Qiu Fatzi. After the successful opening of China's borders, the only three countries in the East that have closed their borders to the Western powers are Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Among them, Japan is the largest, and the relationship between Japan and Ming is also very close, Zhu Jishi, the son of the Great Tomorrow, also visited Japan in 1846, and also accepted the adopted daughter of the Japanese Tokugawa shogun Akiko Ji as a concubine, and the four major foreign companies owned by Zhu Jishi have also successfully entered the Japanese market.

Britain, Russia, the United States, France, and other countries, which have long wanted to open Japan's door, have discussed with Zhu Jishi more than once in the past two years the possibility of "persuading" Japan to open the country, but unfortunately Zhu Jishi has prevaricated on the grounds that it is inconvenient to interfere in Japan's internal affairs. This time, the Russian crown prince personally stepped forward. You should be able to achieve your goal, right?

Liu Peng was basking in the joy of successfully facilitating the Russian crown prince's visit to China. This side request from Nikolaevich. I was embarrassed to refuse, so I responded vaguely first, but no one expected that there would be a shocking storm later.

……

Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who had released Liu Peng's pigeon, was returning to Petersburg by car from Warsaw. The Tsar, who was originally a little worried, now has a hearty smile on his face, squinting his eyes, and humming in his mouth I don't know what the tune is, and it seems that he is very proud.

The Tsar with the Austrian Caesar Joseph. Franz's negotiations went exceptionally well, and Joseph, who was cornered by the Hungarian Revolution. Franz had no choice but to cling to the Tsar's thigh, and eight days earlier the two sides had issued the Warsaw Joint Declaration, in which Russia would send 200,000 troops to help Austria suppress the Hungarian Revolution! Stop the revolutionary storm of 1848 from spreading on the European continent. With this success, the Russian Empire became the leader of Europe – even the Habsburgs, who had once been leaders on the continent, now relied on the help of the Russian Empire to maintain their stability. Who else would dare to challenge Russia's authority on the European continent?

Prussia? The Hohenzollern family is also on the verge of collapse in this revolutionary tide, so let's sit firmly on the throne under their ass first. The British Empire? Their navy is second to none, but the British miniature army is really not a force of sufficient weight. France...... The Bonaparte family is in power again, and sooner or later it will be a trouble! But not now, just look at the poor performance of the French Army in North Africa, and you can see what kind of goods they are, Napoleon's era is not coming back so soon!

Here on the European continent, it seems that there is no force to stop Russia from continuing its march towards the "holy city of Constantinople"! The centuries-old dream of the Russian nation can probably be fulfilled in its own hands, right? The only trouble now is the East, but it doesn't matter, the civil war of the Chinese is not over after all, and if Russia can intervene a little, it will at least extend the civil war of the Chinese for another ten or eight years, even if it is extended for another five years. In a country as vast as China, a civil war for seven or eight years is not too long, right?

Moreover, even if King Zhu Jishi could defeat the Qing and Taiping Heavenly Kingdoms in a few years, even if he had the ability, it would take at least ten or twenty years to turn a country in ruins by civil war into a great power, by which time the Russian Empire's position in the Far East and Central Asia would have been stabilized.

The key now is to use the opportunity of the Chinese civil war to turn the whole of Central Asia (including Xinjiang) into the sphere of Russia's power, and then control the Mongol headquarters - the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Dzungar Khanate can be fought for hundreds of years in history! Let the peoples of the East kill each other. It would be even more ideal if we could get an ice-free port in Manchuria, Korea, or Japan as the base camp of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

With Alexander to arrange these things, what else do you have to worry about?

He was making a wishful calculation, when he heard a burst of howls coming from outside the open window, he looked out of the window, it turned out that he had already arrived at the Hermitage Square, and did not find who was crying, could it be that someone wanted to petition him? What a hassle.

Thinking so, he knocked on the glass baffle in front of the carriage.

"Go and see what's going on, and if it's a petition, ask what's going on, and report back to me......"

It was the duty of European monarchs or lords to accept petitions from their subjects, and Nicholas I, who considered himself a more enlightened and diligent tsar, often found time in his busy schedule to accept petitions from his subjects and deal with trivial matters.

"Your Majesty, it seems, it seems that an Oriental is crying, as if, as if he is still combing his braids."

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Nicholas I was a little stunned.

"Orientals? Still wearing braids, is it a woman? ”

The Tsar ruled a vast multi-ethnic state, and many yellow-skinned Oriental peoples were conquered by Tsarist Russia and became subjects of His Majesty.

"No, not a woman, a man with long braids."

A man with long braids? Chinese...... No, it's Qing people? How could a Qing man run to the Hermitage Square to cry bitterly? Who is he?

It was Betheswen who was weeping under Alexander's column on the Hermitage Square. The dignified assistant minister of foreign affairs of the Qing Empire, the minister of the Imperial Mission, and the minister to Russia, England, and France, was now wearing filial piety clothes, lying under the column of Alexander, crying and crying for three whole days. attracted a lot of Russian passers-by who did not know the truth, and I don't know who Lu Dao was and threw a few Russian coins in the open space in front of him (to be continued......
