Chapter 72 Diplomatic Events (2)
"Turgut!?" Feyadoro was shocked.
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Mo Jing said: "Since the Turkut Mongols nomads to your country's Volga River Basin, they have always lived a bad life, right? However, among them, there are some very lucky people who yearn for their hometowns to embark on the road to return east. And fortunately, on the way to the west of our Majesty, these people were able to tell our Majesty about their past sufferings..."
"Oh my God! How could such a thing happen?" Feiyaodoro screamed in secret. Turhut is indeed nomadic in the Volga River Basin and is indeed being exploited by Russia. But what is the matter of Kangxi? But Kangxi brought up this matter when the Russian secretly sold firearms to Galdan was exposed, and he also put on a face that cared about the descendants of immigrants. If Russia does not make some statements on this, it would be unreasonable. "Damn the East Returner, who is guarding the pass along the way?" Feiyaodoro had already wanted to find someone to settle the score, but he actually faced such a dilemma. Even if he didn't die, he should be skinned.
"Oh, I understand... I will definitely tell Princess Sophia about this matter. Please tell Your Majesty Kangxi that we will never treat the Mongols of the Turhut tribe like before." Fei Yaoduoluo said to Mo Jing quickly. It was a mistake. We were too careless. I really didn't expect that the Turhut people would have such a trick. It was so hateful... But if this tribe with hundreds of thousands of people had any bad ideas at this time, it would not be a good thing for the empire, and it was not conducive to Princess Sophia's rule. It seems that we should think of a way. Fei Yaoduoluo had another thing to consider.
"Master, I just told him your words. Fedoro asked him to tell them that you would pass on your words to their Tsar and Princess. But he mentioned another Mongolian tribe..."
"Mongol tribe? What did he say Mongolian tribes do?"
"Emperor, the slaves he mentioned in Mongolian tribes had heard of before returning to his country, called Turgut, which seemed to be in the heart of Russia, in the Volga River Basin..."
"Turgut? I know this. They are both one of the four tribes of Virat Mongolians, but they have moved west long ago. Have they now arrived in this Russian territory?"
"Yes, the emperor." Mo Jing nodded, "This Fedoro said, he knew it was rude to ask you under the current circumstances, but the Mongols of the Turkut tribe were somewhat disagreeable with them, and there seemed to be some conflicts. Now, seeing that the emperor, you are very majestic, deeply loved by the alliances of various Mongolian tribes, and are also the co-lord elected by all Mongolians, so I hope to borrow your dragon power..."
"Borrow my dragon power? Humph," Kangxi snorted, "I am magnanimous to these Russians and have not settled the score with them. They actually want me to help them appease their subjects... Damn, it's so shameless."
"Then the emperor means disagree?" Mo Jing asked again.
"Of course I can't agree. I'm so arrogant that I think I can influence people thousands of miles away from my Qing Dynasty. Doro must have no idea about this," said Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know if I can say it?"
"What are you talking about? Say it..." Kangxi said. Mo Jing was the "Russian Communication" of the Qing court. Her words were information, so in general, it would be better to listen to some.
"Emperor, as far as I know, the Turkuts have been oppressed in Russia, so they are extremely disagreeable with the Russians. However, the Russians are powerful, and the Turkut tribes have never had a chance to turn around. At this time, Russia was fighting with Sweden and had no time to argue with the Turkuts. However, the Volga River Basin where the Turkuts are located is the hinterland of Russia. It is normal for these Russians to be afraid that the Turkuts will take the opportunity to rise up and disrupt their rear. And if His Majesty takes advantage of their request, they will make the Turkuts slightly better and send envoys to Russia to appease, they will definitely make the Turkuts far away from Middle-earth feel more grateful to the imperial grace and can also declare the prestige of the Qing Dynasty thousands of miles away..."
"And I can also put a nail towards me next to the hearts of these Russians... But if this Russian refuses to admit his account and squeezes those Turkish people again, how can I deal with it?" Kangxi was very interested in Mo Jing's words "The prestige of the country is thousands of miles away", but he was also a little worried.
"Master, as long as we grasp the Russians' trade in the Far East, we will not be afraid of them going around. Besides, you can also send people to Russia to take a look..."
"... Often?" Kangxi stared at Mo Jing with fun, until he felt cold in his heart. Then he nodded in agreement, "No, often... is indeed something worth considering. However, I have to discuss this matter with the ministers after returning to Beijing."
"Then this time…?"
"This time? Well, since they have sent people from Russia, the Qing Dynasty is a country of etiquette and will not be rude. After this battle, I will send people to go back with Doro..." Kangxi was very easy to talk to at this time.
"The emperor is wise!" Mo Jing let out a sigh of relief, then turned his head to Feryadoro and said, "Marrior, our Emperor Majesty said that since you promise that your country will not treat the Turkut Mongols badly again in the future, he will be relieved. He hopes that your country can do what it says. At the same time, in order to show the style of our etiquette country, our Emperor Majesty will also send an envoy to Moscow to meet His Highness Princess Sophia and her two younger brothers."
"What? Is this true?... This is really great. Haha, our country will be honored to receive envoys from the East. I can guarantee that your country's envoys will be welcomed and entertained the most warmly..." Feyatodoro jumped up, and the excitement on his face was beyond words. What does this mean? In the past few years, when did the mysterious and powerful ancient Eastern countries send envoys to Europe? This will be the first time, and it will be a special book in history books. Feyatodoro will be remembered in his heart by all Europeans. Compared to him, what is Marco Polo? The envoys of the Qing court will also bring a more shocking political effect, and Moscow will be the center of attention of the entire Europe.
"Emperor, Feydoro said he was honored to receive our envoys from the dynasty. He also hoped to receive our envoys in their capital, Moscow."
"Well, that's good." Kangxi nodded, expressing satisfaction with Fei Yao Duoluo's words.
"Marrior, Your Majesty is very happy that you can say this. However, everything depends on your country's performance. Of course, don't forget that our envoys will also visit the Turkuts, after all, their ancestors are also Chinese."
"Yes, we can arrange it. I think the Turhuts will also live better because of the arrival of your envoys." Feyadoro said. Compared to the huge benefits that the Qing envoys could bring to Moscow, the problem of a Turhut was absolutely no problem.
"That's good."
Mo Jing nodded to Fei Yaoduoluo with a smile. Fei Yaoduoluo also nodded to her with a smile. The two of them looked at Kangxi at the same time, and Kangxi... were also nodding.
However, although they were nodding, among the three, Mo Jing realized the effect of some of the meetings. This was the first step in the Qing court's external influence. With the current understanding and attention of the Qing court in European countries, it is foreseeable what kind of reception the unknown envoy would receive after arriving in Moscow. This can definitely greatly stimulate the external senses of the Qing Empire. Perhaps they will be even more arrogant, but since they have taken the first step, will the second step be far away?...
"But the candidate for this envoy must be prepared well. You must not send an old antique out..." Mo Jing prayed silently in his heart.
...
The meeting is over.
Fedoro had to leave first. He was both joyful and puzzled this time. The East Returnee among the Turkuts found Kangxi and caused some trouble. Although it was not a good thing that a force influenced by foreign monarchs would appear in his own territory, it was not a big problem. He now didn't understand the most, and wanted to figure out the most, why Kangxi mentioned Louis XIV, the "Sun King" who seemed to be irrelevant to both Russia and the Qing Empire. Of course, the most important thing that the Qing court would send envoys to Moscow was the most important thing, and the news must be transmitted back to the country immediately.
...
Kangxi kept Mo Jing, and there were only two of them in the entire tent.
"What does this guy want to do?" Mo Jing thought of some dirty scenes and didn't know what to do. Although she was not interested in feudal ethics and morals, Yu Zhong was very nice to her and she never thought of betraying this husband. However, there was an emperor on the opposite side, so she couldn't let her use her three taekwondo to chop Kangxi (kick her legs over the top of her head and hit her heels). Not to mention whether she could chop Kangxi, who was both civil and military, would she dare?
"Mo Jing, do you think I am the kind of person who is easy to bully?" Kangxi asked with a smile at Mo Jing.
"I don't know what the emperor means..." Mo Jing's heart thumped, but he did not dare to show anything.
"Don't understand? Haha, I don't understand, so one doesn't understand," Kangxi was still smiling, "I hope you can understand... Okay, you should go down first, think about it after you go back... In the future, you can't not understand anymore, do you know?"
"Slave, I... obey the order, I will leave." Mo Jing felt a coldness in her heart, and a chill rushed from her back to the back of her head. At this time, she just wanted to leave this place quickly, the farther away from Kangxi, the better...
Just when Mo Jing asked Kangxi and Fei Duoluo to be the translator, Luo Xin was chatting with Baori Longmei. She was puzzled by the fact that Baori Longmei was promoted from the imperial concubine to the imperial concubine after not seeing each other for a few months, and was asking the person involved.
It turned out that according to the regulations of the Qing Palace, the emperor could only have two imperial concubines. Before this, among Kangxi's concubines, only the biological mother of the eldest prince Yinzhi, Concubine Hui, was named imperial concubine because she gave birth to the eldest son. Others, such as Rongfei Ma Jia, Defei Wuya, and Yifei Guo Luoluo, although they all had princes and were extremely favored, they were only awarded imperial concubines, not imperial concubines. Since Kangxi now has no queen, the imperial concubine has become the most noble figure among the imperial concubines. It can be said that with this identity
Baori Longmei is already the highest-ranking person in the Forbidden City except Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Princess Kong Sizhen and Concubine Hui Nara. Xiaozhuang and Kong Sizhen have extraordinary status and are both elders of Kangxi and never interfere in Kangxi's housework. Therefore, Baori Longmei's identity as the imperial concubine, ranked first in Kangxi's harem by actual status. (It was just found that Yinxiang's biological mother was Zhang Jia, the imperial concubine of Jingmin. Although it was not Baori Longmei, the identity of the imperial concubine was certain.)
How could this not surprise Luo Xin?
"Actually, this is nothing. When Ulan Bouton defeated Galdan, the emperor led the army to pursue him. Galdan set fire on the road. First, he wanted to burn the grass on the grassland so that our horses could not eat the grass, and second, he wanted to force us to retreat. As a result, when we encountered the grassland fire, our army was indeed scared and almost forced to retreat by the fire. I told the emperor to boil a piece of open space first and let the army hide in to avoid the fire.
In this way, the army hid, and the emperor said that I was a blessed person. I had made military achievements, so I was granted a royal concubine..." Hearing Luo Xin's question, Baori Longmei told her about the origin of the title of the imperial concubine, and she looked even more calm when she spoke. In fact, she did not think that the imperial concubine was so great, and she was not interested in competing for favor with other concubines of Kangxi. What she thought in her heart was just how to end the hatred.
"So it's this way to deal with the fire? Ah, I'm dizzy." Luo Xin stroked her forehead and lay down on Baori Longmei. "Baoer, your Mongolian method has made you military achievements, and also made Brother Yu and Ma De and others make them military achievements. However, you have been granted the Imperial Concubine for this military achievements, but Brother Yu and others almost lost their lives..."
"What's going on? What's wrong with my two brother-in-law?" Baori Longmei said with a smile.
"What are you brother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense. Brother Yu is your brother-in-law, then Ma De is not. You must not call this title wrong, do you know?" Luo Xin was teased by Baori Longmei, and her face turned red. She reached out to hug her, tweeted her while pretending to be angry and instructed her.
"Ah, I know, I know, good second sister, I know I'm wrong." Baori Longmei was tickled by Luo Xin's tickling and could only beg for mercy.
"Hmph, you know what you know." Seeing that Baori Longmei gave in, Luo Xin let her go, but this was only in action. She began to criticize Baori Longmei again verbally, "Baoer, why do I feel that you seem to be very heavy? How many pounds are you now? Can't you raise yourself to gain weight? Didn't Sister Jing teach you how to maintain your body shape?"
"What fat? How can I be... I can't eat enough now. I can only lose weight. How can I be fat?" Baori Longmei retorted.
"Ah... I don't feel hungry if you don't say it. How can I eat only a little meal at noon? Although eating less is beneficial to losing weight, it is called dieting, not hungry..." Luo Xin shouted while touching her stomach.
"Haha... Second sister, I remember that you don't have a lot of appetite. Why? Didn't you eat enough at noon?" Seeing Luo Xin's pitiful look, Baori Longmei asked with concern.
"The food is not big because it's not consumed. But it's different now. I've been marching for a while... Oh, why don't you kill horses and feed? They've starved to death, but don't even kill a horse. This is too much, right?" Luo Xin said again. She really couldn't understand Kangxi's behavior of guarding a lot of meat but waiting for food and grass.
"No, second sister. It is ominous to kill horses in the army, and the emperor is also in the army, and he also guarantees that the food and grass will be transported soon. If the horses are killed, how can the emperor deal with it? Moreover, there is still some food and grass in the army. If the horses are killed now, it will make the morale even more depressed. The emperor has no reason to lead everyone to continue chasing Galdan." Baori Longmei said.
“…”
"Second Sister?" Seeing that Luo Xin suddenly stopped talking, Baori Longmei pushed her worriedly.
"... Can't kill horses? Bao'er, can you kill cattle? Where is the sheep?" Luo Xin asked suddenly.
"Of course there is no problem with this. But there are no cattle and sheep in our army." Baori Longmei didn't understand Luo Xin's meaning.
