Chapter 72: Diplomatic Events (Part II)

"Turgot!?" Fei was taken aback.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Mo Jing said: "Since the Turkut Mongols have been nomadic to the Volga River valley in your country, it seems that life has not been very good, right?" However, among them, there are some lucky people who yearn for their hometown and set out on the road back to the east. And just as fortunate as that, on the way of our majesty's expedition to the west, these people were able to confide in our majesty about their past sufferings......"

"Oh my God! How could there be such a thing? Fei Doro screamed secretly. It is true that Turgot is now nomadic in the Volga River valley, and he is indeed being oppressed by Russia, but what does this have to do with Kangxi? But Kangxi raised this matter when their Russian secretly sold firearms to Geldan was exposed, and he also put on a face of caring about the descendants of immigrants, if Russia did not make some statements about it, it would definitely be unreasonable. "Damn returnees, who are guarding the passes along the way?" Fei Yao Doro already wanted to find someone to settle accounts, and he was actually faced with such a dilemma, and he should be skinned if he didn't die.

"Oh, I see...... I will definitely tell Princess Sophia about this matter, please tell Your Majesty Kangxi, we will no longer treat the Mongols of the Turhut tribe as before. Fei Yao Duoluo hurriedly said to Mo Jing. What a mistake, we were too careless. I really didn't expect that the Turks would have such a hand, it's so hateful...... It's just that this tribe with hundreds of thousands of people is not a good thing for the empire if it does something crooked at this time, and it is not conducive to Princess Sophia's rule, it seems that it is necessary to think of a way. Fei had one more thing to consider.

"Your Majesty, I have just told him what you said, and this Fei Yao Doro said that he will convey your words to their tsars and princesses. It's just that he mentioned another Mongolian tribe......"

"Mongol tribes? What does he say the Mongol tribes do? ”

"Your Majesty, the Mongolian tribe slave he mentioned had heard of before returning home, called Turgot, and it seemed to be in the hinterland of Russia, in the Volga River valley......"

"Turgot? I know that. They are one of the four tribes of Oirat Mongolia along with Dzungar, but they have long since moved west, are they now in the territory of Russia? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mo Jing nodded, "This Fei Duoluo said that he knows that it would be rude to make a request to you under the current circumstances, but the Mongols of the Turghut tribe have some discord with their Russians, and there seems to be some conflict. Now, seeing that the emperor is majestic, deeply loved by the Mongolian tribes, and is the co-leader elected by all the Mongolians, I hope to borrow your dragon power......"

"Borrowing my dragon might? Hmph," Kangxi snorted lightly, "these Russians, I am magnanimous, I didn't settle accounts with them, and they actually want me to help them pacify their subjects...... Damn, shameless. ”

"Then the emperor means not agree?" Mo Jing asked again.

"Of course I can't agree with it. I am not arrogant enough to think that I can influence people thousands of miles away from my Great Qing Dynasty, and this Fei Doro must not have made up his mind. Kangxi said.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if the slave can say something?"

"What words? Say it......" Kangxi said. Mo Jing is a "Russian expert" of the Qing court, and her words are information, so under normal circumstances, it is better to listen to some.

"Your Majesty, as far as the slaves know, Turghut has always been oppressed in Russia, which is why he is extremely at odds with those Russians. It's just that the Russians are powerful, and the Turks have always had a hard chance to turn over. At this time, Russia was at war with Sweden, and there was no time to deal with the Turks, but the Volga valley where the Turks were located was the hinterland of Russia, and it was normal for these Russians to be afraid that the Turks would take advantage of the opportunity to disturb their rear. And if Your Majesty takes advantage of their request to make them a little nicer to the Turks, and sends envoys to Russia to appease them, it will definitely make the Turks who are far away from Middle-earth feel the emperor's favor, and will be able to proclaim the prestige of our Great Qing Kingdom thousands of miles away......"

"And I can put a nail in my heart next to the heart of these Russians...... It's just that if this Russian doesn't admit it afterwards and oppresses those Turks again, how will I deal with myself? Kangxi was very interested in Mo Jing's sentence "Raising the country's prestige thousands of miles away", but he was a little worried.

"Your Majesty, as long as we firmly grasp the trade of the Russians in the Far East, we are not afraid of them messing around, not to mention, you can also 'often' send people to Russia to have a look......"

“…… Often? Kangxi stared at Mo Jing a few times with interest, until he saw Mo Jing's heart cold, and then nodded approvingly, "Yes, often...... It is indeed a matter worth considering, but I still have to discuss this matter with the ministers after returning to Beijing. ”

"And ...... this time?"

"This time? Well, since they sent someone from Russia, I am a country of etiquette, and I will not be rude. After this battle, I will send someone to go back with Fei Duoluo...... "Kangxi is very easy to talk at this time.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Mo Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Fei Yao Doro and said, "Lord Marquis, our Emperor His Majesty said that since you promised that your country will not treat those Turk Mongols badly in the future, he will also be relieved. He hopes that your country will walk the talk. At the same time, in order to show the demeanor of our ceremonial state, His Majesty the Emperor will also send an envoy with you to Moscow to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia and her two younger brothers. ”

"What? Is that really the case? …… This is really wonderful, haha, my country will be very honored to receive the envoy from the East, and I can guarantee that the envoy of your country will receive the warmest welcome and hospitality......" Fedodoro jumped up, the excitement on his face overflowing. The Qing court sent envoys to Moscow, what is this concept? For many years, when did the mysterious and powerful ancient kingdom of the East send envoys to Europe? This will be the first time, and it will be the first time in the history books. He will be remembered by all Europeans because of this, and what is Marco Polo compared to him? The envoys of the Qing court would have an even more shocking political effect, and Moscow would surely become the center of attention throughout Europe.

"Your Majesty, Fei Yao Doro said that it is an honor to receive the envoys of our dynasty, and he also hopes to receive our envoys in their capital, that is, Moscow."

"Well, that's good." Kangxi nodded, satisfied with Fei Duoluo's words.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is glad you can say that. However, everything depends on the performance of your country, and of course, do not forget that our envoys will also visit the Turks, after all, their ancestors are also Chinese. ”

"Yes, we can arrange for it, and I think that the Turgots will also be better off because of the arrival of your envoys." Fei Odoro said. Compared with the huge benefits that the Qing court's envoys could bring to Moscow, the question of a mere Turk was definitely not a problem.

"That's good."

Mo Jing smiled and nodded at Fei Yao Duoluo, Fei Yao Duoluo also smiled and nodded at her, and the two looked at Kangxi at the same time, Kangxi ...... Also nodding.

It's just that, although they are all nodding, among the three people, only Mo Jing realized some of the effects of this meeting. This was the first step in the Qing court's foreign influence. With the current level of understanding and attention of European countries to the Qing court, it is already predictable what kind of reception the unknown envoy will receive when he arrives in Moscow. This can definitely greatly stimulate the senses of the Qing Empire to the outside world, maybe they will be more arrogant, but since they have already taken the first step, will the second step be far away? ……

"It's just that the selection of this envoy must be done well, and you must not send an old antique out......" Mo Jing prayed silently in his heart.

……

The meeting is over.

Fei asked Doro to retire first and left. This time he had both joy and doubt. The Returnees in Turghut caused a bit of trouble when they found Kangxi, and although it was not a good thing that there would be a force in their own territory that would be influenced by a foreign monarch, it was not a big problem. What he doesn't understand the most now, and what he wants to understand the most, is why Kangxi would mention Louis XIV, the "Sun King" who seems to have nothing to do with Russia and the Qing Empire. Of course, the fact that the Qing court was going to send an envoy to Moscow was the most important thing, and the news had to be transmitted back to China immediately.

……

Kangxi left Mo Jing behind, and there were only two of them in the entire tent.

"What does this guy want to do?" Mo Jing thought of some dirty pictures, and he didn't know what to do. Although she was not interested in those feudal etiquette and morality, Yu Zhong was very good to her, and she did not think of betraying this husband. However, there is an emperor on the other side, can't she use her three-stage taekwondo to give Kangxi a slash (kick her leg over her head and hit her opponent with her heel)? Don't say if she can split Kangxi, who is both civil and military, even if she can, does she dare?

"Mo Jing, do you think I'm the kind of person who is easy to bully?" Kangxi looked at Mo Jing and asked with a smile.

"The slave doesn't know what the emperor means......" Mo Yan's heart jumped, but he didn't dare to show it.

"Don't understand? Haha, I don't understand, I don't understand," Kangxi was still smiling, "I hope you can understand...... Okay, you better go down first, and think about it when you get back...... In the future, you can't understand it anymore, you know? ”

"Slave, slave...... In obedience, the slave and maid retired. Mo Jing only felt that her heart was cold, and a chill rushed from her back to the back of her head, at this time, she only thought about leaving this place quickly, and the farther away from Kangxi the better......

And when Mo Jing was acting as an interpreter for Kangxi and Fei Yaoduoluo, Luo Xin was chatting with Baori Longmei. She was puzzled by the fact that Baori Longmei had been promoted from a noble concubine to an imperial concubine after not seeing her for a few months, and was questioning the person concerned.

It turned out that according to the rules of the Qing Palace, the emperor could only have two imperial concubines. Before that, among Kangxi's concubines, only the biological mother of the eldest brother Yinyu, Concubine Hui, was named the imperial concubine because she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son. Others, such as Concubine Rong Ma Jia's family, Concubine De's Wu Ya's family, and Yifei Guo Luoluo's family, although they all have princes and are extremely favored, they are only crowned concubines, not imperial concubines. And because there is no queen in Kangxi now, the imperial concubine has become the most noble figure among the concubines in the palace, it can be said that with this identity, Baori Longmei is already the highest status person in the Forbidden City except for the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Princess Heshuo Kong Sizhen, and Concubine Hui Nala. And Xiaozhuang and Kong Sizhen have transcendent status, and they are both Kangxi's elders, and they never interfere in Kangxi's housework, so Baori Longmei's identity as the imperial concubine, according to the actual status, has been ranked first in Kangxi's harem with Concubine Hui. (I just found out, Yinxiang's biological mother is Jingmin Imperial Concubine Zhang Jia, although it is not Baori Longmei, but the identity of the imperial concubine is certain.) )

How could this not surprise Luo Xin?

"Actually, it's nothing. Defeated Geldan at Ulan Butong, and the emperor pursued with a large army. Gerdan set fire on the road, first, to burn the grass on the steppe so that our horses could not eat forage, and secondly, to force us back. As a result, when we encountered the steppe fire, our army was indeed frightened, and was almost forced to retreat by the fire. I told the emperor to burn a clearing first, and let the army hide in it to avoid the fire. In this way, the army hid, and the emperor said that I was a blessed person, and I was awarded an imperial concubine after making military merits......" Hearing Luo Xin's question, Baori Longmei told her the origin of her title as an imperial concubine, and she looked even more indifferent when she said it, in fact, she didn't think that the imperial concubine was so great, and she was not interested in competing for favor with Kangxi's other concubines, all she thought about was how to end the hatred.

"So this is the way to deal with fire? Ah, I'm dizzy. Luo Xin stroked his forehead and lay down on Baori Longmei, "Bao'er, this method of your Mongolians has made you a military merit, and it has also made Brother Yu and Ma De a military merit; However, you were crowned the imperial concubine because of this military merit, but Brother Yu and the others almost lost their lives......"

"What's going on? What happened to my two godbrothers-in-law? Bao Ri Longmei said with a smile.

"What brother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense. Brother Yu is your brother-in-law, but Ma De is not. You can't make a mistake about that, you know? Luo Xin was teased by Bao Ri Longmei, her face turned red, and she reached out to hug her, and while arming her, she feigned anger and admonished.

"Ah, I know, I know, good second sister, I know it's wrong." Bao Ri Longmei was tickled by Luo Xin's limbs, and could only beg for mercy again and again.

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances." Seeing that Bao Ri Longmei was soft, Luo Xin let her go, but this was only in action, and verbally she began to criticize Bao Ri Long Mei again, "Bao'er, why do I feel that you seem to be quite heavy?" How many pounds are you now? Can't you make yourself fat, didn't Sister Jing teach you how to stay in shape? ”

"What's fat? How can I ...... Now I can't eat enough at all, I will only be thin, how can I be fat? Bao Ri Longmei retorted.

"Ah...... Don't you say I'm not hungry yet. I only ate a little bit of food at noon, how can I do that? Although eating less is good for weight loss, it is called dieting, not starvation......" Luo Xin touched his stomach and exclaimed.

"Huh...... Second sister, I remember that your meal is not very large. What, didn't you eat enough at noon? Seeing Luo Xin's pitiful look, Bao Ri Longmei asked with concern.

"The amount of food is not large because the consumption is not large. But it's different now, I've been on the march all this time. …… Alas, why don't you kill horses to fill the army's rations? It's too much to starve to death, but not even a horse, right? Luo Xin said again, she really couldn't understand Kangxi's behavior of guarding a lot of meat but waiting for grain and grass.

"No, second sister. It is ominous to kill horses in the army, not to mention that the emperor is also in the army, and also guarantees that the grain and grass will arrive soon, if the horse is killed, how can the emperor deal with himself? Moreover, there is still some grain and grass in the army, and if you kill horses to satisfy your hunger now, it will make morale even more low, and the emperor will have no reason to take everyone to continue to chase after Geerdan. Bao Ri Longmei said.

“……”

"Second sister?" Seeing that Luo Xin suddenly stopped talking, Bao Ri Longmei pushed her worriedly.

“…… Can't kill a horse? Bao'er, is it okay to kill a cow? What about sheep? Luo Xin asked suddenly.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. However, there are no cattle or sheep in our army. Bao Ri Longmei didn't understand what Luo Xin meant.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can kill it, what about Zhong Xiaozhen? Why isn't she there? I'm going to ask her for help......" Luo Xin asked with a twinkle in her eyes.
