In the cold winter of the ninth year of the lord's calendar, in St. Petersburg, the first Tsar Catherine ascended the throne, and her military exploits in the destruction of the Golden Horde have surpassed many Rus' Grand Dukes, and the Senate could not give Catherine a higher title in name, so it simply promoted the Grand Duchy of Moscow to the Tsarist Russian Empire and crowned Catherine as Tsar.

"By the order of the Holy Father, I proclaim my ascension to the throne as the great Tsar, the Grand Duke of All Rus', and the aristocratic power of the divided feudal divisions of the past years has come to an end. From this day onwards, the principalities of all Rus' need to be unified. ”

Catherine held a scepter and a small incense burner, representing her supreme power among the Grand Dukes of All Rus'.

There was silence in the temple.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow was the most powerful of all the Rus' principalities, and when it was strong enough, it would naturally expand its territory, annex other principalities, and establish a great empire.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow was more like an Eastern civilization than a feudal and secessionist Western European civilization, constantly expanding its territory.

The unification of the whole of Rus' by the Grand Duchy of Moscow, for them, was equivalent to the unification of the six kingdoms by Qin Shi Huang, and its significance was not difficult to imagine.

And in "Lord", although Catherine suffered heavy losses in the national war, she also took advantage of this opportunity to increase her prestige and become the supreme one of the Grand Dukes of all Rus, which was beyond the reach of other Grand Dukes, and became the first Tsar as a matter of course.

The establishment of the Tsarist Russian Empire meant that Catherine had become a European gendarme, monitoring every move on the Western continent, and the surrounding civilizations would only be more jealous of the Tsarist Empire.

But Catherine did not care about the strong enemies around her, and the Tsarist Empire, as an empire, already had the ability to sit on an equal footing with other empires.

After the destruction of the Golden Horde and the recovery of the population of the Golden Horde, the current Tsarist Russian Empire has a population of 40 million, which is already a staggering number in the era of cold weapons.

Catherine looked around at the hundreds of generals and nobles who held military power below, and then looked at Chu Tian, her eyes seemed to ask if Chu Tian, as the only prince of the Tsarist Russian Empire, wanted to go up and give a speech.

Chu Tian shook his head inadvertently.

As the husband of the tsar, this identity is naturally very cool, but he is not enough to dominate the crowd and brush up his presence at this time.

Secretly manipulating the direction of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and then finding a way to sinicize Maozi, this is what Chutian wants to do, not to give a speech at the coronation ceremony of the tsar.

"We are willing to destroy all the enemies in front of us for His Majesty the Great Tsar!"

The Cossack leaders Yermak, Khmelnitsky and others, influenced by the characteristics of the tsar, loyally served the tsar, and became the vanguard of the expansion of the Tsarist Russian empire.

Many of the nobles who received the reward were also very interested.

The establishment of the Tsarist Russian Empire was a period of ascension when he could improve his title by virtue of his military exploits.

Xiao Xuan participated in the coronation ceremony of Catherine, and witnessed Catherine become an empress-level figure, and couldn't help muttering. If she had the chance, she might not have been able to become such a figure.

Catherine, even Chutian has to pay attention to her strength.

It's a pity to say that Chutian values her not only for personal feelings, but also for the forces represented by Catherine.

If you can unite the Russian Empire, you may be able to unify the lord world faster.

After all, Chutian is notorious in foreign wars, and there are really few allies.

"Your Royal Highness, I am Nevsky of the Ice River, in the Battle of the Don River, commanding the right flank, it is an honor to meet you, your ambush at that time, appeared at the right time, I thought that I would die in the battle of the Don River at that time."

A military general of the Tsarist Russian Empire took the initiative to salute Chu Tian, the ice hero Nevsky, who defeated the Swedes and the Knights of the Sword (later merged into the Teutonic Knights).

Chu Tian's current identity is the King of Xia of the Han Empire, the Prince of the Tsarist Empire, the Heavenly Khan, the General of the Han Empire, the Pastor of Yanzhou, the Great Virtuous and Virtuous Teacher, the Third Duke of the Fourth Dynasty, and the hero who saved Moscow......

Especially the identity of the prince of the Tsarist Empire, which allowed Chutian to run rampant in the Tsarist Russian Empire, and Catherine's subordinates should also be in awe when they saw Chutian.

"Nevsky ...... of the glacier"

Chu Tian silently wrote down the name of this person, and this person seemed to be a good general.

"In Dmitry on the Lower Don."

"In the Grand Duke of Nizhny Novgorod."

"Grand Duke of Tver."

One after another, the generals and nobles of the Tsarist Russian Empire came to befriend Chu Tian, which made Chu Tian have a headache, and it was not friendly to the real Oriental people to write down these names and titles.

As the only prince of the Tsarist Russian Empire, Chu Tian had to nod his head and agree.

After Catherine ascended the throne, she quickly returned to her palace and specially summoned Chutian.

"The lord must be squeezed again......"

Hua Mulan, as a concubine who enjoyed the same treatment as Princess Xia, replaced Chutian and talked to the nobles of the Tsarist Russian Empire who visited Chutian.

Chutian also left Xiao Xuan to help Mulan, with Xiao Xuan here, everything was easy, even if Hua Mulan was not very familiar with politics.

"It's enviable."

Xiao Xuan seemed to think that Catherine had reached the pinnacle and had an excuse to occupy Chutian for a short time, and in comparison, she was now just a prisoner of the ranks.

"Envy?"

Hua Mulan didn't understand what Xiao Xuan was referring to.

Soon, news of the promotion of the Grand Duchy of Moscow to the Tsarist Empire spread throughout the Western continent and even to the Eastern Continent.

The Russian Empire did not have much influence on the current Eastern Continent.

But this news, for the civilization of the Western continent, is no less than a thunderbolt in the clear sky!

The Tsarist Russian Empire was not friendly with Western European civilization, Northern European civilization, and even West Asian civilization, and the Kingdom of Poland, and it posed no less threat than Attila's Hun Empire!

And the timing of the establishment of the Tsarist Empire was just right.

The Golden Horde fell, and Catherine's prestige skyrocketed.

Attila and Temujin captured the Kingdom of Hungary, and the troops were directed at Vienna, and the Western lords were busy blocking Attila and Temujin, and Attila and Temujin wanted to defeat Alexander and others as soon as possible, and no one could prevent the establishment of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

When a civilization is strong, it will naturally establish an empire or federation.

Catherine was crowned Tsar, Chutian's youngest son was the crown prince of the Tsarist Empire, and the adjutant Sophia was named the new Grand Duke of Ryazan because of her long-term and loyal followers of Catherina.

"The Russian Empire was built on the ruins of the Golden Horde!"

When Temujin heard the news, he was furious.

Without the fall of the Golden Horde, Catherine might not have had enough prestige to build a large empire.

What's even more infuriating is that Chu Tian actually became the prince of the Tsarist Russian Empire and enjoyed prestige in the Tsarist Russian Empire, and Chutian's prestige in the Tsarist Russian Empire also came from the ruins of the Golden Horde.

That is, the Golden Horde became a stepping stone.

This was difficult for Temujin to accept for a while, but he had to accept it again.

"The Russian Empire must be guarded against ......"

Attila deployed heavy troops between the Hun Empire and the Tsarist Empire.

Although the change from a principality to an empire may seem like a change of name, in fact, the degree of internal cohesion and centralization has increased dramatically.

Originally, the principalities and nobles were in their own hands, but now Catherine could centralize power in the name of the Tsar.

"Tsarist Empire ......"

The German lord Hohenzollern rubbed his temples painfully, a name that gave headaches to many lords of the Western Continent.

He could already foresee that even if he defeated Attila and Temujin in the future, he would have to face the behemoth of Tsarist Russia.

"Let's deal with Attila and Temujin first. Later, the Russian Empire must be conquered. ”

When Alexander learned that the Grand Duchy of Moscow had not only delayed the dispatch of troops, but also took the opportunity to build an empire, he had no choice but to secretly note this point.

"The expansion of the territory of our Roman Republic to North Africa, Venice, Genoa, Malta, Rhodes should also become a great empire."

The Roman Triumvirate can't wait to break free from the control of the Roman Senate and become the supreme emperor.

The establishment of the Tsarist Empire led to the birth of the Roman Empire.

All civilizations on the Western continent seem to be reluctant to stay at the stage of principalities and kingdoms, after all, the Tsarist Russian Empire has already established itself.

Chutian, who was temporarily living in St. Petersburg, did not know about the uproar caused by the establishment of the Tsarist Empire, and he was wandering around St. Petersburg with his youngest son at this time, if nothing else, this would be the second Tsar in the future.

Catherine was distributing the interests of the various nobles and strengthening the centralization of power.

In the Han Empire itself, various legions were replenishing troops and training soldiers and horses.

"By the way, there's a recruitment order, and it seems to be the deadline."

Chu Tian took out a recruitment order from his arms.

At the time of the fall of the Mongol Empire, Chu Tian obtained two recruitment orders, one with a cooldown period of three months and one with a cooldown period of six months.

In general, the longer the cooldown period, the higher the quality of the heroes recruited.

For example, the special recruitment order of the Holy Rank has a cooldown period of one year.

One of the recruitment orders with a cooldown period of three months had expired, but Chu Tian had been fighting and had never used it.

"Ding! You can choose to recruit heroes from your own civilization or heroes from other civilizations. ”

Can you also recruit heroes from other civilized districts?

For the first time, Chu Tian heard that the recruitment order could recruit military generals from other civilization regions.

In the past, recruitment orders were generally to directly recruit heroes in their own civilization area.

And the recruitment order obtained by the destruction of the Mongol Empire seems to be unusual.

Anyway, it was only a three-month recruitment order, and at most it was a king-level hero, and Chu Tian didn't care very much, so he made a different choice from before: "Recruit heroes from other civilization areas." ”

"The system will randomly select the ...... of civilization zones"

"Ding! You have earned a ...... from one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table in England"

An English knight appeared in front of Chu Tian and Little Peter.

And really a hero of other civilizations......
