readx; Qiulina's overreaction to the situation in Russia convinced Zhu Youzhen that she was by no means an ordinary person, not even an ordinary nobleman, but should be in a high position, and her family must at least be a duke, a marquis, and something like that, and she could have considerable influence on the Russian political situation. So even if she is a woman, even if she is thousands of miles away from the motherland, Russia still worries her.www.biquge.info

From this point of view, Zhu Youzhen admires Qiu Lina very much. But he had no good feelings about Tsarist Russia. Historically, Tsarist Russia was a typical expansionist country, not only waging frequent wars in Europe and Central Asia, but also from the 16th century, across the Ural Mountains to Asia, it took only more than 100 years to occupy Siberia and the vast area to the east, becoming the largest country in the world in terms of territorial area.

And when the sphere of influence of Tsarist Russia began to approach China, this country used all kinds of despicable means in an attempt to encroach on China's territory. Like the Galdan rebellion in the Qing Dynasty, there was no element of instigation by Tsarist Russia; Tsarist Russia directly used force to occupy Yaksa in Northeast China, and after several wars, the two countries signed the Treaty of Nebuchu through peaceful negotiations, which was considered to be the end of hostilities.

But it was this seemingly equal treaty that Tsarist Russia also played tricks. Because no one in the Qing government at that time could speak Russian, they had to ask two European missionaries to act as translators. However, Tsarist Russia bought off the two missionaries and figured out the bottom line of the Qing government, thus taking advantage of the negotiations.

The Qing government, on the other hand, was short-sighted and repeatedly backed down in negotiations. Originally, the Qing government's first plan was for the two countries to be bounded by the Lena River to the Arctic Ocean; The second option is to demarcate the boundary along the Trans-Khingan Mountains to the Chukotka Peninsula at the northeastern tip of the Eurasian continent; The third option is to use Lake Baikal as a boundary. However, all three plans were generously "conceded" by the ignorant Qing government, and in the end a large area east of Lake Baikal, which had belonged to China, was transferred to Russia. The negotiator Suo Etu also thinks that he is a hero of peacemaking, and the Kangxi Emperor often calls himself "the first emperor of the ages", but in fact, they are the sinners of the Chinese nation through the ages!

At the end of the 19th century, taking advantage of the fact that the Western powers had opened the door of the decaying Qing government with strong ships and cannons, Tsarist Russia once again extended its clutches to China. Under the pretext of being successful in mediating the contradictions between China and the great powers, he forced China to sign a series of unequal treaties, such as the "Aihui Treaty," the "Treaty of Beijing," the "Treaty of Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary," and the "Ili Treaty." It can be said that among the Western powers, Tsarist Russia may not be the most murderous one, but it is definitely the one that has grabbed the most benefits from China. For such a country, how can Zhu Youzhen not guard against it?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt a little painful. Emotionally speaking, Qiu Lina is a beautiful, hard-working, kind, and brave girl, and Zhu Youzhen also likes her lively and cheerful personality; But if she is really a Russian nobleman, once there is a dispute between China and Russia, or even a war breaks out, how should she deal with herself? Should I let her stay with me?

Fortunately, Qiulina also realized her gaffe at this time, and quickly changed the topic and asked Anna about the recent situation in other European countries.

Anna's expression became a little solemn and said, "It's still the same, almost all countries are involved in endless wars. The insatiable Habsburgs held the throne of the Holy Roman Emperor, and were not content to control Austria, Hungary, Spain, and Bohemia, but also to occupy all of Germany and Italy, which of course met with the unanimous opposition of the European royal families.

"Now, the King of Denmark, with the support of France, England and the Netherlands, is sending troops to Germany, and the two sides are fighting fiercely. However, in my opinion, the Habsburgs are still stronger, and I am afraid that Denmark will not be able to avoid defeat. I really don't know when this war will end, and how many innocent people will lose their homes and lives in the war! ”

João took over the topic and said with a smile: "Denmark, England and the Netherlands are all Protestant and pagan; And the Habsburgs are the source of evil, and the more fiercely they fight each other, the better. If it weren't for the foolish Philip, who rushed to war with France and the Netherlands in order to support his relatives in Austria, how could we have any chance of recovering our country? ”

"And how's the UK doing?" Zhu Youzhen still cares more about Charlie, who has fought side by side with him.

Joao pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "The Anglo-Saxons are always so arrogant and rude. Their old king, James, had died, and his son Charles had just been crowned, though Charles was more belligerent than his father. James's eldest daughter, Charles's sister, was married to the Elector of Palatine, and Charles wanted to exert influence over the Holy Roman Empire through this relationship. He also coveted Philip's sister Maria, hoping to marry her as queen and then have a relationship with Spain. But Maria rejected Charlie, and the guy became angry and went to war with Spain. Ha ha! ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart moved, thinking that Charlie became the king of England after all, it seems that history has its own inertia and cannot be changed so easily. He asked in a deep voice, "Since England is at war with Spain, Spain is the common enemy of Portugal and England." Have you ever thought about forming an alliance with Charlie? ”

Before Joao could answer, Anna sneered and said, "Charles is a Protestant, but we Portuguese are devout Catholics, and on this basis, my brother will not ally with him." What's more, Charlie is a big pervert, and he not only wants to marry Maria, but he is also playing my mind! ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, remembering that as soon as Charlie saw Li Zhenyan, his eyes couldn't be removed. With Anna being so beautiful and moving, it is of course very normal for Charlie to be tempted.

Joao said: "Charlie is not only rude, but also cunning, he does not only covet Anna's beauty. We have a lot of pain when the Habsburgs annexed Portugal decades ago by virtue of their in-laws. Charlie wants to do it again now, so I won't fall for him. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought of a question, and asked Anna half-jokingly: "Honorable princess, I am not a Catholic, why can you Portuguese develop relations with the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Anna smiled slyly and said, "His Majesty the Emperor is certainly not the same as that nasty Charlie, you are a real hero. And this time I came to this great and beautiful country, I didn't want to leave for the time being. As long as you are willing to see me often, I have the confidence that you will be converted to God! ”
