Emperor Chongzhen recognized the second place when he was coaxing his wife, and probably no one dared to recognize the first place. After all, with the skills of making girls hundreds of years later, if Emperor Chongzhen could not even coax Concubine Yi, the harem would have been in chaos long ago.

Emperor Chongzhen's reason was very simple. He also liked the third son Zhu Ciyi, but whether it was the ancestral system or the performance of the second prince Zhu Ciyang, it proved that he would be the qualified prince.

Once Zhu Ciyang is made the crown prince, then the eldest brother Zhu Ciyang is okay. After all, he was appointed King of Liao early, and what about the third brother Zhu Ciyi?

First, he was named a king, threw it to Bavaria, and then became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He and his brother were emperors from both sides. Isn’t it much better than staying in the Ming Dynasty to be a vassal king?

As for whom the East and West will be orthodox and even if the war begins, Emperor Chongzhen said he doesn't care. All he can do is turn the entire earth into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that in the future?

Anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot!

In addition to comforting Concubine Yi, Emperor Chongzhen naturally had to favor Concubine Yuan, Luo Xiaoyu, and Jiang Ling'er.

Sometimes Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think, why did Empress Zhou come here to mess with so many concubines? I was afraid that I would ride a big horse? I underestimate my determination too much!

Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who was far away in Moscow, was in a good mood.

As the second emperor of the Romanov dynasty, Alexei Mikhailovich had no special hobbies, except hunting, especially falcons.

In order to satisfy his falcon hobby, Mikhailovich ordered the construction of the Royal Falcon Field, always preparing for the eagles needed for hunting. The long-term guard of the hunting ground is only about a hundred people, and he spends 75,000 rubles every year from the treasury as management fee.

As for each hunt, from officials to servants, it is only a scale of thousands of people. Even if it is added with carriages, bows, arrows, horses, etc., how much money can it cost?

Mikhailovic felt very wronged. He had just spent so much money. The treasury came to cry for poverty?

Besides, even if there is no money in the treasury, what is the big problem? What if the farmers and merchants oppose the Tsar's wine shop?

Is it prohibited to sell alcohol for more than 180 days a year? Can each person only buy one glass of wine at a time? Can you sell alcohol to people who are already drunk?

Can such a small problem be considered a problem? I just added a rule that "to help the monarch enrich the treasury, you should not drive drunk people out of the restaurant." Wouldn't the problem be solved?

After just solving the problem of the restaurant, his old rival Poland became suspicious of himself and even sent someone to ask for help from him, which made Mikhailovich's mood improve like never before.

Mikhailovich is complicated about the feelings of Polish cousins, and he doesn't know how to describe the entanglement that he told. All of this starts with the death of Tsar Ivan IV.

After Tsar Ivan IV passed away, Fedor and Dimitri were left behind. According to the order of seniority, Fedor inherited the throne of the Tsar.

Fedor, who was cowardly and had low intelligence, was mediocre when he was young by Ivan IV and was frightened to watch the murder of the special army. He was frightened and worried about being harmed by the special army all day long. He hid in a monastery and prayed and prayed to God for his life. He was therefore nicknamed "Cryptozoar".

His favorite thing in his life was to ring the church bell, or watch the clown winks in front of him and fights each other, ignoring the government and state affairs at all. The power of the state was gradually controlled by Fedor's wife and brother-in-law Boris Fedorov Godonov.

Boris Godonov was a descendant of the Tatars, born into a noble family and good at using tricks. He married his sister to the incompetent Tsar Fedor, who was incompetent in order to replace him one day. In fact, Godonov's plan was successful.

Just seven years after sending people to murder the nine-year-old Dimitri, the childrenless Tsar Fedor also died of illness.

After Fedor's death, the struggle for the throne in the palace was extremely fierce. The main participants were two major forces, and their representatives were Boris Godonov and Romanov brothers.

The Orthodox Archbishop Joseph climbed to the throne of the Archbishop with the help of Godonov, so he proposed to the Council of Gentlemen that Godonov would succeed to the Tsar. The Council of Gentlemen controlled by Godonov elected Boris Godonov as the Tsar.

As the loser, the Romanov brothers, who were his ancestors, were appointed by Godonov for intentional murder of the Tsar, and then all were exiled to the north.

Later, the Polish cousins ​​began to act with a slutty man. Two people who claimed to be the Crown Prince of Ivan IV, appeared in total. These two guys were supported by Polish cousins, and then they personally went to Polish cousins ​​in politics.

In fact, if it weren't for the later call of Nizhny Novgorod merchant Kutzma Mining to "deal with his wife and daughters" to "in order to liberate Moscow from the hands of the Poles and the pagans", and to establish a national volunteer army based on peasant guerrillas, Tsarist Russia might have been done.

When Moscow was finally liberated, the All-Russian Gentleman Conference opened at the Assumption Cathedral of Our Lady in the Kremlin of Moscow. 50 cities sent their own representatives, with a total of 700 representatives of each level.

The conference first rejected the proposal of the Polish king and Swedish king as the Russian tsar. Finally, Mikhail Fedorov was nominated as the candidate for the Tsar, and the Romanov family's tsar rule began.

If there were no Polish cousins, my family probably would not have hope of ascending to the throne of the Tsar. In this regard, I should seem to be grateful to those Polish cousins?

But in fact, Polish cousins ​​never gave up their peeping of Tsarist Russian land, which made them hate them so much that they were itchy.

Now the Polish cousin has finally convinced himself and invited him to intervene in European affairs. This is definitely a good opportunity to make up for the losses!

I knew my own affairs. Mikhailovich knew that there was a terrible country in the south called the Ming Empire. The consequence of Tsarist Russia fighting them in the Far East countless times was that it completely lost a large area of ​​Far East land.

Yes, I lost the land that did not belong to me but later belonged to me.

Countless failures have made Mikhailovich lose interest in continuing to fight the Ming Empire. Do you know if the Ming Empire is another Mongolian Khanate. If they get angry, they will make a Golden Horde. Do you still have to kiss the Tatars' boots?

Youdao made up for the loss on the east side. After losing interest in snatching the Far East from the Ming Dynasty, Mikhailovic naturally turned his attention to Europe.

The double-headed eagle logo of Tsarist Russia originated from the Byzantine Empire, and its significance is to show that the empire is the king of both the east and west directions and to rule the territory of Europe and Asia.

After the Byzantine Empire, which lasted for nearly a thousand years, was killed by Ottoman Turkey, in order to save the devastated Orthodox Church, under the help of the church forces, he used marriage to betroth Princess Sofia of the Byzantine Empire to Ivan III, the Grand Duke of Moscow, to achieve the development of Orthodox Church in Russia and resist the attack of the Turks. Princess Sofia also brought the double-headed eagle logo representing the Byzantine Empire to the Duchy of Moscow.

Therefore, it is not normal for Tsarist Russia to turn its attention to Europe? It is to find a place for its grandmother who has been of unknown generations!

Now that there is finally such an opportunity, Mikhailovich couldn't wait to call Afanasiravrentievich Olkin-Yina Xiaojin, the smartest diplomat and politician in Tsarism Russia.

Just as the feelings for Polish cousins ​​are very complicated, Mikhailovic's feelings for Afanasiravrentievich Orkin are also complicated.

Olgin came from Opocchika, his father, a poor landlord, Pskov, but Pskov was obviously a man of vision. He gave Olgin a good education and was proficient in Latin and German.

After Tsarist Russia interfered in the dispute between Poland and Ukraine and swallowed Ukraine, Orkin, had been opposed to taking reckless actions against the Poland and Lithuania Kingdom, and insisted on reaching an agreement favorable to Tsarist Russia and Poland at the negotiating table.

Despite acknowledging his vision in diplomatic affairs and his talents, Olgin's attitude towards Polish affairs still made Mikhailovich uncomfortable, and even planned to "openly relieve his entire worldly labor."

In other words, Mikhailovich intends to let Olkin get out completely, and it is best to be able to roll to a distant monastery standing deep in the dense forest.

Of course, if you have this idea, now that the Poles have already been convinced, they should refer to Olkin's opinion. After all, this guy has great diplomatic and political talents.

Under the dim light, Mikhailovich seemed a little excited: "This is the news I got now. Alkin, I need you to help me analyze what should I do to be the most beneficial to Tsarist Russia?"

After saying that, Mikhailovic was in a good mood and couldn't help but joke with Olgin's beard and rosacea: "Look, your beard has grown a little longer. Look at your nose, I know you've drunk a lot, and you probably have to pay a fine again."

Orkin smiled disconcertedly and said, "Of course, my Majesty, the fine will be sent to the treasury soon.

As for what you said about Poland's invitation to Tsarist Russia into Europe, I think this is not a good news to be excited about."

He originally planned to use the news of Poland to surrender, but he was pulled back by Olgin in the blink of an eye, which made Mikhailovich a little unacceptable: "Why?"

Orkin stroked his chest and said, "My Majesty, have you not heard of the war between the Ming Empire and the English? Not only that, the Ming Empire also intervened in European affairs. They now strongly support the Holy Roman Empire.

If the Ming Empire had not entered Europe in the morning for a few years, would the Poles give in as they are now? Why are they giving in now? Don’t they want to drag us into the water?"

Although he was very unhappy about being slapped in the face by Orkin again, Mikhailovic also knew that what Orkin said was the fact. After all, he also had certain information channels in his hands, and he knew all the things that Orkin said.

Mihailovic, who calmed down slightly, nodded, lit his pipe and took a deep breath before saying, "What about you?"

Olkin said: "Promise them, as long as they can meet our requirements, then promise them."

After a moment of pause, Orkin continued: "In fact, even if they do not agree to any of our conditions, we must agree to their request and march into Europe."

Mikhailovich seemed somewhat unfathomable in the smoke: "Why? As far as I know, although you have always been inclined to negotiate with the Poles, the current situation is that the Poles have something to ask for us, so why?"

Olkin said: "The reason is very simple. The Ming Empire has intervened in Europe. The entire Europe will become worse and worse under the stirring of the Ming Empire, while the Ming Empire will become stronger and stronger.

Although I don’t want to admit it, it’s the truth. On the front battlefield, Tsarist Russia had no way to defeat the Ming Empire, and it was difficult to maintain balance.

The damn Ming Empire was like a monster that was not full. They have now swallowed the Far East and turned their attention to Europe. If we don’t help Europe, what if they swallowed Europe?"

Also lit the pipe and took a deep breath, Orkin continued: "As far as we know, the civilized countries in the world can now be divided into four parts.

One is the largest Ming Empire, then the Ottoman Empire, then the entire Europe, then our Tsarist Russia and the Mughal Empire.

The Mughal Empire is over. Obviously, the idiot Ozerab can only lie up and lick his wounds now. He has no courage to fight with the Ming Empire.

The Ottoman Empire was not the Ottoman Turkey in the past. The current Ottomans have no interest in wars except for being interested in silver coins.

In Europe, with the intervention and support of the Ming Dynasty, the Holy Roman Empire will unify Europe in a very short time, but the price will be that a large number of civilians will die, and a large amount of silver coins will be used to purchase arms from the Ming Dynasty.

Then, the Ming Empire killed the Holy Roman Empire and my Majesty. I dare to assure you that after losing a large number of civilians and soldiers in the war to pacify Europe, both the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire will be vulnerable opponents to the Ming Empire.

It is precisely because of this reason that I suggest you send troops to Europe. Even if Poland does not agree to give us benefits, because protecting Europe means protecting our own safety!”

After nodding, Mihailovich sighed and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit it. You convinced me again. Go back and prepare for the next negotiation with the Poles."
