In fact, Hongyi didn't care much about Ivan's illness and rushing to the doctor, cursing himself for early death, but he didn't care about what Sergei said about the patriarch - want him to come to Jinfeng? Since the 16th century, you Russia have had the upper hand in thinking that Moscow is the "Third Rome". According to this idea, Constantinople, as the "Second Rome", although it had replaced the First Rome (i.e., Ancient Rome), which had indulged in "Latin heresy", was punished for not being able to resist the "temptation of the devil" of the Latin Church, and was captured by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Thus, the so-called "glory to Russia, and Moscow thus became the Third Rome".

The founder of the idea of the "Third Rome", the Orthodox theologian and abbot of the Russian Monastery, Philofey put it in the following words: "The Second Rome is gone, the Third Rome stands, and the Fourth Rome will never exist." Haluha, the fourth Rome will never have? You don't have to say that! Master, I also have my own opinions, let's see! It's just that I can't tell you "guys" yet!

Everyone was just about to reprimand those with ulterior motives for saying "demons", and without waiting for Sergei to correct his mistakes, Hongyi had already spoken again:

"Ivan, how do you think I know so much about your hometown? Don't get involved with Tang Lao Marfa, he has been working in the imperial court all these years, and he knows very little about the specific things in the west. ”

"This ...... The minions really don't know. I thought ......" Ivan was ready to tell the truth, but his nature forced him, and he thought that he would have to talk to his master again.

"What do you think?" Hongyi guessed what he was going to say. I want to get away with it.

"The slave thinks you've got a revelation from God."

"Ha Luha, Sergey, do you know the way?" Hongyi smiled.

"The slave doesn't know how you know about the Ukrainian thing, maybe God has already chosen you to be psychic. As a servant of God, I can only say that there are miracles that mere mortals like us cannot understand. Sergei's answer was also inseparable from those mysterious things, but in time he changed the word "saint" to "psychic".

"Ha Luha, okay, don't guess. I tell you the truth, I did not hear from your God. But through the court report of tens of thousands of expeditionary forces in the Qing Dynasty! Hongyi finally said that he had thought of the rhetoric he had thought of a long time ago.

"The court report of the expeditionary force?" At this time. It was Bekotov's turn to interject. It was the first time he knew that the Qing Dynasty still had an expeditionary force of tens of thousands of people, and he could also bring back the news of Ukraine in the distant hinterland of Rakshasa!

If that's true, that's a big deal!

Hongyi looked directly at the surprised gaze of "Captain Buick". You don't need to look at it anymore to know how surprised the eyes of the other five Rakshasas are.

"Not bad. General Dingyuan, my imperial uncle Jidu. Tens of thousands of troops are currently fighting in the west of the Great Qing Kingdom, the opponent. It's your old club, the Rakshasa Kingdom! Hongyi made enough momentum and said convincing words.

"Master, minions and others are all your people now, and there is no old boss anymore!" While Bekotov was stunned there, Ivan was the first to "correct" him.

Hongyi smiled and nodded, which can be regarded as a loyal approval to Ivan. Encouraged by this, Ivan emboldened himself and asked a question that no one else dared to ask:

"Master, this must be a great general who has already started a war against the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

"Hehe, what's this...... You don't have to know that it's too detailed. I'll just tell you that tens of thousands of horses from the Qing Dynasty have arrived at Suwu Lake! Hongyi pretended to be mysterious, waiting to see the expressions of several of them.

"Suwu Lake?" Sure enough, Ivan, on behalf of all the Alba, questioned this unfamiliar place name.

"Well, the Rakshasas are called Baikal!" Hony replied immediately.

The dead silence of the "......" in shock spread among the six Rakshasas of yesterday. After a long time, it was Bekotov who reacted first, taking the lead in kneeling down and shouting:

"The Great Qing Dynasty is mighty!"

"The Great Qing Dynasty is mighty!" Everyone else, including the Manchus and others, all chanted.

"So, I can't be completely ignorant of the situation over there." Hongyi waited for them to finish their breathing, and added in a matter-of-fact manner.

Actually, he's talking nonsense. Jidu's military reports have indeed arrived in Beijing one after another, but so far they have only said that there are many small walled cities, waiting for all the "recovery" of the Suwu Lake area before making plans, but it is impossible to have a single bit of news about Ukraine, which is still far from Lake Baikal!

Hongyi Zhilu said that these grievances and grievances between Russia and Ukraine are all due to the very sad international political hot news that Ukraine was played with between Russia and NATO in 2014. Not long before Hongyi's "departure", on March 21, Crimea had been starved by the "return" of Russian President Vladimir Putin's agreement, and he didn't know what to do next, but Ukraine's life will definitely not be easy.

But in the middle of the XVII century, there were a few years in Ukraine and Russia that they were so good that they almost wore a pair of trousers!

In the spring of that year, many of Hongyi's colleagues were puzzled about why Crimea, which "originally" belonged to Ukraine, had to join Russia, but as a graduate of international politics, Hongyi knew what this small peninsula meant to Russia and Ukraine.

The Crimean peninsula was the only autonomous republic in Ukraine at the time, with 1.6 million of the 2.6 million people Russian, the remaining 600,000 Ukrainians, the ancestors of the Cossacks, and the remaining 400,000 Tatars and other minorities.

In the second half of the 16th century, most of Ukraine was under the rule of the Polish aristocracy, and Khmelnitsky had repeatedly participated in the Polish army fighting against the Turks. In the 40s of the 17th century, there was a climax in the struggle of the Ukrainian people against the Polish nobility and Catholic priests. In January 1648, because his wife was robbed by Polish nobles, he had no way to appeal for a long time, and angrily led 8,000 Cossacks to revolt in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River, quickly sweeping the entire territory of Ukraine.

The Cossacks' war against the Turkish Tatars led the Russian army to take advantage of the Crimean expedition, which was officially annexed by Russia in 1783. On October 18, 1921, the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was established as a member of the Russian Federation. After World War II, it was renamed the Crimean Oblast in 1945. But the Crimean peninsula has always been under Russian jurisdiction. In 1944, the Stalinist government forcibly relocated the Tatars of Crimea on charges of "collusion with Hitler's occupiers." This policy not only worsened relations between the Russians and the Tatars, but also caused huge losses to the economy of the Crimea.

After Khrushchev came to power, in order to alleviate the ethnic contradictions in the region and revitalize the economy of the peninsula, on February 19, 1954, on the grounds of commemorating the 300th anniversary of the merger of Ukraine and Russia (in 1654, Ukraine and Russia signed the Pereyaslav Agreement, according to which the two countries were merged), the Crimean Oblast was transferred from Russia to Ukraine. In 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Crimea joined Ukraine as an autonomous republic and was recognized by the international community. Russia has always been obsessed with this.

On 21 May 1992, the Russian Parliament unilaterally adopted a resolution on the abolition of the annexation of Crimea from Russia to Ukraine in February 1954, and on 9 July 1993 a decree on the resumption of the city of Sevastopol, an important naval base in Crimea. Although it is inconvenient for Russia to openly make territorial claims to Ukraine, it is also unwilling to give up Crimea. This is because, since the 18th century, Crimea has been the base of Tsarist Russia's control of the Black Sea coast, the Mediterranean, the Balkans. The geographical location of Crimea makes it the key to controlling the Black Sea region, especially the western part of the Black Sea. The loss of the Crimea, Russia's imperial status in the Black Sea and political influence in the Mediterranean region will be problematic. Maintaining its influence in Crimea is an important factor for Russia to maintain its status as a great power and constrain Ukraine politically, economically, and militarily.

This intricate history, speaking of the source, has to mention this distant relative of our smartest "Ukrainian nobleman" Ivan - Khmelnitsky.

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding happy teardrops (to be continued......)
