"What? 10,000,000 livores? Foquansky is so rich! ”

Although Tsar Fyodor III had long heard that Fuquan had 10 million taels of silver, he did not believe that it was really possible for Duke Yang Qilong to return so much money to Foquansky, who had long since lost power - how could there be such a trustworthy bank in the world? It is already interesting enough to be able to give back 10 million livores to Foquansky.

"That's only part of it," said Sofia, who had become a rich woman, grinning, "and about 60 million lifolks, of which about 50 million were in Louis XIV, which would be shipped to the Rakshasa country in installments." The remaining 10 million is the interest on Foquansky's deposit, which is still in the bank of Duke Yang Qilong, who wants to exchange this money for silk, porcelain, tea, sugar, and then transport it to Arkhangelsk through the summer route of the Arctic Ocean! ”

"What? Yes, there is so much money? God, is this Foquansky sent by God to save us? The Tsar made a cross on his chest.

The rich woman Sofia smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if the summer route of the Arctic Ocean can really connect North Korea and Arkhangelsk, it will be a huge income for a long time. Especially when the Ming Dynasty and France were about to break out into a full-scale war with the Netherlands, Spain, and England, and the western Pacific-Indo-Atlantic shipping lanes would no longer be safe. ”

"Yes, yes," the tsar drew another cross on his chest, "it's great that if Arkhangelsk can be turned into a transit point for international trade, then the annual tax receipts will flood the Kremlin coffers!" ”

Sofia nodded with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty, this time Fuquansky's most trusted Mongolian general Guanyin Bao also brought 3,000 mercenaries to Rakshasa, and this general also proposed a . It may be possible to help us in our plan to reclaim Constantinople! ”

"You, what did you say?"

The shock and joy of Tsar Fyodor III could no longer be described in words - he was a little skeptical that he was dreaming? I felt like I reached out and pinched my skinny cheek, and it hurt!

"Your Majesty, you are not dreaming!" Sofia shook his head and said, "And I think this Guanyin Bao general's plan is very feasible. ”

"Tell me, tell me, Sofia, what is this general going to do to regain Constantinople?" The Tsar's voice trembled.

Although the Rakshasas' claim to Constantinople is difficult to hold - marrying a princess of the Eastern Roman kingdom can inherit the legal system of the Eastern Romans? It's just a matter of copying. But after hundreds of years of internal propaganda by the Rakshasa Orthodox Church, the Rakshasa kingdom from the tsar to the serfs all believed it. Therefore, no matter which Rakshasa ruler, as long as he can lead the Rakshasa to seize Constantinople, he is the number one hero of the Rakshasa country and the saint of the Rakshasa Orthodox Church.

If Sofia can do it, it is also possible to be crowned empress!

"Your Majesty," Sofia was also a little unable to suppress her excitement, took a sharp breath, soothed her emotions, and then spoke again: "General Guanyinbao's plan is like this: First of all, we should appoint Prince Foquansky as the governor of Kharkov, and let him recruit and train 30,000 pigtailed troops in Kharkov in the name of marching east to seize the throne of the Qing Dynasty.

Secondly, we entrusted Foquansky to open a trade route with Constantinople, which could lead from the Don River to the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, and directly to Constantinople. Some of the goods brought from Arkhangelsk could be transported to Constantinople via this trade route. This was of great interest to both the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire, and they would not oppose it.

Third, we should always talk about supporting Foquansky's seizure of the Qing throne, and let Foquansky and Guanyin go to consult with Constantinople repeatedly. We must convince them that the eastward march to support Foquansky is our main direction. Since the eastern part of the Ottoman Empire was also threatened by the Qing Dynasty and their ally Great Zhou, the Ottoman Sultan would certainly have felt at ease with us and Forquansky, and would have expressed his support.

Fourthly, after receiving the support of the Ottomans for our eastward advance, we can also privately show support for their westward advance, and we can provide them with horses and food. In addition, we should actively explain to the Ottoman Empire that our alliance with France will not be a friendly country, or even a potential enemy, with the Holy Roman Empire!

Fifth, Guanyin can be bailed out to face the leaders of the Crimean Khanate to buy and woo them. The khans of the Crimean Khanate were descendants of Jochi and were also considered Mongols. Guanyinbao, on the other hand, was a more pure Mongol, and Foquansky also had the blood of the Golden Family. They had a natural advantage in wooing the leaders of the Crimean Khanate.

Finally, once Foquansky had completed the training of 30,000 pigtails in Kharkov, the Don-Azov-Black Sea route had been opened, the friendship between Foquan and the Crimean Khanate had been established, and the Ottomans believed that our goal was in the East, and began to carry out their long-planned march on Vienna, we could instead conclude a secret treaty with Poland to support the Holy Roman Empire! Poland sent troops to Vienna, and on our side, the elite troops led by Forquansky's general Guanyin Bao, disguised as merchants, went south on the Don River waterway, first attacked and took the Azov fortress, and then entered the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. Straight to Constantinople! ”

The plan proposed by Guanyin Bao was obviously copied from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is, Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes to carry out a sneak attack, and Guan Gong carelessly lost the section of Jingzhou and Maicheng. But Fyodor III hadn't seen "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire probably didn't see it either.

So after hearing Sofia's plan, the tsar was left with only exclamation: is this the real strength of the Mongol general? No wonder the historical Mongol expedition to the west beat Kievan Rus so badly!

Thinking of this, he said to Sofia: "This plan is very ingenious, but unfortunately I have no way to see it succeed one day" He thought for a while, and said: "Sofia, I will leave a will, if this plan can be successful, the empire will need to have two centers in the north and south in the future." One is to take Moscow as the center and rule the land of Rakshasas; One was centered on Constantinople, ruling the Eastern Roman homeland and the Black Sea coast. Later, Peter was made the Northern Tsar in Moscow, and Ivan was the Spratly Emperor in Constantine. And Foquansky could be the Grand Duke of Asia Minor, responsible for the suppression of the homeland of the Sultanate of Rûm. ”

The tsar paused again, glanced at Sofia leisurely, and said: "And you are the Grand Duchess of Kiev, the regent for life of the empire!" ”

"What? Doesn't that divide the country into four? In the future"

In the city of Moscow, in Sofia's official residence, after listening to Sofia finish talking about Tsar Fyodor III's arrangement, Guanyin Bao couldn't help but shake his head.

Fyodor III's will is indeed to divide the future Rakshasa Empire into four, two large and two small, one for Peter, one for Ivan, one for Sofia, and one for Foquansky.

"Guanyin Bao, you don't know, this Rakshasa has its own national conditions here." Fuquan smiled, "It is very difficult for Moscow to command Constantinople and the Balkans, and it is just as difficult for Constantinople to command Moscow. The two sides are not the same species at all! As for Asia Minor and Kiev . It's all going to be troublesome in the future. While most of the people in Asia Minor believed in the Celestial Religion, the Cossacks in Kiev were always capricious, sometimes Polish, sometimes Rakshasas, sometimes Ottomans, all uncertain. If these four territories are to be screwed together, it is too much energy, and it is better to build a looser alliance of countries. ”

If we look at this distribution method from the standard of "great unification" of the Central Empire of East Asia, it seems to be laying mines. But Fyodor III's arrangement is in line with Roman standards, two Augustus, two Caesars are really Roman orthodoxy! And for the current Rakshasa, it is also quite realistic.

The Cossacks of Ukraine, the Turks of Asia Minor, and the Orthodox Christians in the Balkans, who had been suppressed by the Ottoman Empire for a long time, did not have a good relationship with them, and it was indeed difficult for them to submit to the rule of the large and backward Rakshasas, and they would also lack a sense of belonging. It is better to set up two large and two small four monarchs, each with different means to rule.

Princess Sofia nodded and said, "That's what the tsar meant!" But he is not long in the world, and only Heavenly Father knows what will happen in the future, and what we need to do now is to put this plan into practice as soon as possible! ”

Fuquan took Sofia's words, and then began to arrange for a few of his subordinates: "Guanyin Bao, you work hard, and go to Paris again. Get the remaining tens of millions of miles back as soon as possible. In addition, when passing through Constantinople, you can also discuss the Arkhangelsk-Kharkiv-Azov-Constantinople trade route with the Ottoman Empire. ”

"Huh!" Guanyin Bao nodded.

Sofia added: "It is also possible to buy a few armed merchant ships, hire some French sailors, load them with French-made weapons, and sail to Arkhangelsk." ”

"Okay." Guanyin Bao nodded again.

Now Fuquan is his male master, Sofia is his female master, and Yang Qilong, Empress Yang and Kangxi. It seems to be his master too. The loyalty of this seemingly honest Mongol is really increasing!

At this time, Sofia said to Fu Quan: "My dear, the Tsar's edict appointing you as the governor of Kharkov will be issued soon, you will immediately take your 3,000 Qing soldiers and most of the French military advisers there, and you must recruit the remaining 20,000 new troops as soon as possible." As she spoke, she frowned slightly, "The Tsar may only have a few months to live." When the time comes, we need to show enough strength, otherwise, no amount of money will be enough to make the Rakshasa country obey us! ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Of course, Fuquan is desperate to ask for it. He is in Moscow is equivalent to staying in the palm of Sofia's hands, and he can only think about any bad thoughts. When you get to Kharkov, that's a prince!

The Hague, Netherlands, Ruling Palace.

In the period from late 1681 to early 1682, one of the major players in this great dispute, William III, Prince of Orange, the Dutch ruler, was very low-key, although the special criminal tribunal in The Hague had been established and the special national debt of 200 million guilders had been issued, but the Dutch consul did not participate in the "battle for the Holy See" between France and Spain, and did not even express any opinion.

Moreover, the consul did not instruct the special criminal court in The Hague to go. The arrest of Louis XIV and Li Yat-sen had no intention of being tried in absentia.

It seems that after this consul "cheated" 200 million guilders, he was satisfied, and he didn't plan to really start a war with Louis XIV, it seems that he can't really fight, and he will still be so rich?

Of course, William III was not idle, he was implicated in an attempted murder between the fourth quarter of 1681 and the first quarter of 1682!

The target of the attempted murder was William's uncle-in-law, named Charles II (Charles II).

William III's ally in England, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the main leader of the Whigs, orchestrated an assassination of the "Merry King" of Great Britain sometime in 1681! Prior to this, in 1678, the English earl had fabricated perjury and plotted an accusation against the king. He instructed others to take false oaths in parliament accusing the king of believing in the Father of Rome, not of the Anglican Father.

In Great Britain in 1681, it was not a small problem to believe in whose heavenly Father it was. If the king believed in the Heavenly Father of Rome, then he would be the king, and he might even have no head, so the "Merry King" Charles II refused to admit it, and finally the accuser was exposed as a perjury, and the "Merry King" could finally continue to live happily.

Of course, Charles II was indeed a Catholic disguised as an Anglican, but the Whig leader, the Earl of Shaftesbury, found no evidence of a real hammer.

Charles II, after defeating the Whigs' "perjury charges" through "perjury", also felt that he could not sit idly by, so he ordered the dissolution of parliament and the holding of new elections.

But before the Whig-controlled parliament was dissolved, it urgently passed a second censorship ordinance to expel Roman Catholics from the upper and lower houses—to legitimize this religious persecution, which is really great!

And in 1679, after the new parliament was elected, the Whig MPs led by the Earl of Shaftesbury were ready to deprive the Duke of York of the right to inherit the throne - the Duke of York was the first in line to the English throne, and after he was stripped of the right to inherit, Princess Mary, that is, the wife of William III, would become the first in line to the throne!

This parliament wants to strip its rightful heir to the throne and grant it to a foreigner!

This is unheard of!

However, this bill is too unbelievable, so it did not get the support of most of the parliamentarians, and the Duke of York retained the right to inherit - in the original history, he did not keep it in the end, and within a few years of coming to power, he was given the "Glorious Revolution" because his wife gave birth to a son!

After repeated defeats in parliamentary struggles, the Whig leader, the Earl of Shaftesbury, finally realized the limits of parliamentary struggles, and he wanted to assassinate the king! Unfortunately, the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and it was revealed in 1681.

So he and his Whig MPs were unlucky, so they had to run away to the Netherlands, where they took refuge in the Dutch ruler William III.

And William III, who protected the Earl of Shaftesbury and his henchmen, is naturally considered to be behind the plot to assassinate the King of England.

At this point, the alliance between the Netherlands and Britain was on the verge of breaking!

The Dutch are going to kill the King of England, which is a bit too much!

Charles II couldn't live happily anymore when he thought of this, so in late 1681 and early 1682, Charles II began to get close to Louis XIV.

This made William III very bad.

Originally, eleven countries fought three countries, but now there is inexplicably one more US imperialism, and it has become eleven to four, and now Britain is going to defect again, which is ten to five.

And the "five" side is the Ming Dynasty, France, Rakshasas, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden and other countries go to fight these five countries, can they win?

So William III is no longer in the mood to think about how to deal with France and the Ming Dynasty, and all his energy is spent on getting rid of Charles II like this.

Charles II does not fall, this world war has not yet begun, and the Netherlands is about to lose!

But how to bring down Charles II?

"Archon, there's only one way now. You immediately launch an invasion of England, defeat Charles II, and seize the throne of England! ”

In the ruling palace, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the leader of the Whigs in England, finally spoke of the long-awaited solution of William III.
