Dorgon didn't know about the bloody battle in Constantinople until half a year later. The Romanians and the Turks were both defeated in the battle. After paying heavy casualties, the Romanians still retreated.

The rumor that Constantinople is impenetrable is actually very reasonable. Those huge stone walls are indeed insurmountable obstacles in the cold weapon era.

But soon, the Turks, who had experienced a brutal and bloody battle, faced another battle. This time, it was the powerful Kurds who came to attack Constantinople.

In history, the Kurds gave birth to an outstanding figure, Saladin.

Now the leader of the Kurds happens to be named Saladin. He calls on the Kurds to carry out jihad and conquer the city that symbolizes the throne.

The ant-like Kurds finally broke through the fortified Constantinople. Suleiman II burned himself to death in Dopkapi Palace!

"Dorgon, you guessed it right. The Turks are finished!" Jirharang also heard the news of the fall of Constantinople, and he admired Dorgon's judgment.

If it weren't for Dorgon's super foresight, they might have become the victims of the Ottoman Empire.

"Yes! The Turks are finished. Li Xiao killed the huge army of the Turks. Suleiman II is a tiger without teeth. Staying in Constantinople is tantamount to committing suicide.

What a pity! Such a huge empire eventually disappeared. Look, a nation that has stood up for thousands of years finally fell in an instant.

The Jurchens still have us, but the Turks should have no hope. They treat other ethnic groups so cruelly, and once other ethnic groups fight back, it will be the day of their destruction.

Just watch! It is estimated that within a year, there will not be a single living Turk in the Ottoman Empire. Let us work hard to govern the Japanese country, and maybe one day we will have our own land and continue to let the Jurchens multiply."

"Russia's territory is very large, and the Tsar's desire for territory is endless. I heard that the British envoys are here again. They are discussing in the Kremlin about forming an anti-French alliance again."

"Haha! I'm afraid the Prussians are coming too." Dorgon sneered.

"How do you know? The coming of the Prussians was extremely secret. I also heard about it from a gathering of senior guardsmen." Jilharang was very surprised. He was sure that he had never told Dorgon about the Prussians.

"It's very simple. Tsar Peter can hardly speak Russian. To say that he is Russian is better to say that he is Prussian. Look, Russia has been very uneasy recently.

Don't go out and hang out with the guards, or you may get into trouble."

"What did you smell again?"

"After His Majesty the Tsar's uncle Adolf Frederick became King of Sweden, Peter complained: Dragging me to this cursed Russia is like being arrested; if I had been given freedom, wouldn't I be sitting in a civilized country now?

Has the monarch taken the throne?

He doesn't like Russia, and he doesn't like to be a Russian czar. Speaking of it, he prefers to be a Prussian. And his hobbies are also very Prussian. He trains his army all day long to do morning exercises and goose-stepping.

I heard that during the Seven Years' War, he provided military intelligence to Prussia again and again. This may sound shocking, but it is true.

How can a person who does not love his own country be loved by his own country? If you look at the Russian nobles, you will know that they do not like the Tsar. Moreover, the Tsar does not have any prestige among them.

What would happen if such a tsar was overthrown one day?"

"You mean someone will rebel?" Jierhalang sat up in fright.

"Yes, someone will rebel. In other words, someone will rebel. The Tsar does not love Russia, but the Russian nobles must defend their interests. Their power is amazing. You haven't seen Kutuzov in the past two months.

Isn’t something wrong with you coming?”

"Dang" "dang" "dang" the sound of knocking on the door came.

"Come in!"

"Lady Catherine is visiting."

"Why is she here again? She has been here eight times this month. Dorgon, she is the Tsar's woman. You have to be careful. If we can't survive in Russia, then we are really doomed.

.Could it be that you really want to go to London?

Even if you want to go, the arrogant British may not accept us." Jilharang felt it was necessary to remind Dorgon.

"I understand, you don't need to worry about it. You should take care of yourself first. That Selina is the tsar's mistress, so don't stay in her house all day. It's not easy to be the tsar's godbrother." Dorgon didn't.

He rolled his eyes at Jierharang angrily, saying that he was so shitty that he even talked about me.

While the two brothers were talking, the door opened. A lady in full dress appeared at the door!

"Hello, Ms. Ekaterina." Dorgon stood up. Ekaterina didn't like others calling her queen. From this aspect, we can also see how bad her relationship with the tsar was.

Zirharan also stood up, bowed deeply to Ekaterina, and then walked out. When he walked out, he carefully took the person with him.

"You come too often. If His Majesty the Tsar finds out, I will die." Dorgon stood up and poured a glass of wine for Catherine.

"I don't have much time today, let's continue our conversation. Last time you said that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was entirely due to the steam engine."

"In fact, it's not just steam engines. Li Xiao had already established many factories before steam engines. However, the emergence of steam engines only made factories more efficient.

Let’s just take cotton as an example. People in the Ming Dynasty now cultivate cotton extensively throughout the Western Regions. The Ming government spends a large amount of silver coins to purchase it every year.

Many people in the Western Regions no longer grow food and specialize in growing cotton. Using the money earned from selling cotton to buy food is much higher than the return from growing it yourself.

Wool is similar to cotton, and the shepherds on the grasslands are grazing them with all their strength. Not for food, but to shear more wool. Now the pastures are seriously insufficient. I heard that the Mongolians in the three Gorkhas have begun to

Operating in the north, the power gradually began to encroach on the Mobei grassland.

If you look at the market in Moscow, you will know that the cotton and woolen fabrics produced in the Ming Dynasty are more popular than the silk and satin produced in the Ming Dynasty. They are trafficked over long distances, and the price is still cheaper than the cloth handmade in Russia.

Over time, Russian women will no longer have labor income. Every Russian family will also be in trouble due to reduced income."

Ekaterina's face was not pretty. She was drinking wine and thinking deeply. The situation in Russia is somewhat different from other countries. Men are generally drunk and uneducated.

Beating your wife is almost a common thing. Many men go to pubs and brothels to fool around when they have money, without giving any money to their families.

Many women can only earn money to support themselves and their children by doing handicrafts, and weaving cloth is the main source of income for women. Without this income, I really don’t know how many children in Russia will starve to death.

"So there was no political struggle in the Ming Empire?" Ekaterina asked a question that interested her more.

As a powerful opponent who had fought wars, Ekaterina wanted to know the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, there were not many people who knew the Ming Dynasty. The Jurchen with pigtails in front of her happened to be one of them.

"Yes! Basically, it was a battle between the Donglin Party, which was dominated by scholars, and the military group headed by Li Xiao. Li Xiao was very powerful in fighting, and he easily defeated the emperor supported by the Donglin Party.

Now that there is no emperor in the Ming Dynasty, domestic civil affairs are managed by a group of Li Xiao's party members. They are the new generation of powerful people in the Ming Dynasty and control various industries.

The development of the industry is their family interests. Therefore, these industries are developing very fast."

"So the Donglin Party didn't fight back?" From Ekaterina's point of view, this is an inspiring story of a successful rebellion.

"We fought back! But it was useless. Li Xiao massacred more than 2,000 people in one night. Today, there are only a few low-level officials in the imperial court, and some local officials are still members of the Donglin Party.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is popularizing education, and all children in the city are reading. More and more people are literate. It is estimated that in another ten or twenty years, those Donglin Party officials will disappear in the Ming Dynasty. In other words, Li Xiao will gain

The final victory."

"So it turns out that Li Xiao first achieved military superiority and then completely defeated his opponents in domestic affairs, right?"

"That's right, Lady Ekaterina!"

"If I give you enough resources, can you also allow me to gain military advantage?" Yekaterina stared at Dorgon with her blue eyes.

Dorgon glanced at Yekaterina and smiled bitterly in his heart. If he didn't cope well today, he would be buried in Moscow.

"If I have enough resources, I will make everything you want for you. The more resources, the better things will be made." Dorgon smiled and looked at Yekaterina.

"Dorgon, you are a wise man. I believe you have guessed many things, but you should also know that if you tell these things...!"

"I have been very busy recently, very busy. The drawings brought out from India need to be verified by me one by one, and many places require translation. Therefore, I have been staying at home recently and will not go out. Your worries,

It won’t become a reality.”

Dorgon was still sitting with a smile on his face.

"A wise man is a wise man, and you will get everything you want. Russia will be your future, and you will have everything here." Ekaterina also had a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Madam Ekaterina."

"May God bless you, Dorgon. By the way, tell your brother not to hang out with the guards officers recently."

"Okay, I will convey your message."

Yekaterina walked out, Dorgon looked in the direction of the door and shook his head helplessly.

Interests dominate power! When the Tsar offends the interests of too many nobles, the Tsar becomes the enemy of the nobles. The Russian character will definitely treat their enemies as ruthlessly as the cold winter. Even if the other party is the Tsar!

Hey...! The world is not peaceful. Dorgon really hopes that Ekaterina can succeed. Russia may be his last place. If he can't stay in Russia anymore, it will be so big that he will never have himself again.
