Tsarist Russia's invasion war has been going on for almost half a year now.
It seems very short when I say it, but in fact, time passes very quickly.
During this period of time, Liu Zheng accomplished too many things.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed...
Half a year...
According to Liu Zheng's plan, this time is actually still very early.
Tsarist Russia is a big country, and it occupies a considerable historical proportion even in the entire history of the earth. To bring down such a country will take at least ten years, or even decades...
To be honest, Liu Zheng didn't have the slightest interest in the territory of Tsarist Russia.
Most of them are in the polar regions, so what's the use of them? Although Tsarist Russia was the world's number one exporter of wheat in his previous life, for Liu Zheng, the price he had to pay to occupy Tsarist Russia was too high.
No need.
In the previous life, Tsarist Russia became the world's largest exporter of wheat because of its domestic economic situation and its industrial structure.
He is not very interested in these.
Peter the Great must die.
This was Liu Zheng's idea. Only if he died could Tsarist Russia fall into chaos. In the history of the previous life, Menshikov only controlled Tsarist Russia for two years before being driven out of Tsarist Russia by the people in the country.
After that, Tsarist Russia, under the leadership of Catherine II, once again reached glory.
suppress!
What Liu Zheng has to do is to keep suppressing Tsarist Russia!
This beast-like country must not rise up!
This time, he will take advantage of Tsarist Russia's internal chaos to completely eliminate Tsarist Russia's effective forces! At least let them never rise again within a few decades!
Although Qian Feng, this young man Liu Zheng has never met, Shen Xing still thinks highly of him.
Liu Zheng was very satisfied to see that he had captured Osilev, Menshikov's political enemy, in such a short period of time.
"Increase funding investment and tell Qian Feng, we don't care how much money or how much food and grass!"
"We must plunge Tsarist Russia into chaos!"
Liu Zheng gave instructions on this letter and then replied.
Ottoman…
He smiled.
He still believed in Hu Xier and Mo Chen, or in other words, Hamid. He shouldn't be so stupid. In this case, he would miss the opportunity...
He didn't reply.
Although Istanbul's communication station has long existed. But he still didn't bother.
"Wow wow wow wow..."
Liu Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard his little brother's cry getting closer and closer.
Isn’t it hard to coax Xie Chan...
…
Istanbul.
"Wow, wow, idiot, look here, what kind of architectural style is this!"
"Over there, that woman over there is so tall!"
"Have you ever thought that this Ottoman man looks very strange?"
In the luxurious carriage, Hu Xier was so excited.
Mo Chen sat in the carriage and rolled his eyes.
Along the way, have you seen too few people in the Middle East... As for that?
He pulled Hu Xier. If this continues, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the Ottomans?
only……
The person who came to pick them up would naturally not be able to express their emotions in person.
Longyan people!
Hamid gave the order, and these two people were distinguished guests. Before the two arrived in Istanbul, they were picked up by this carriage. Along the way, Osman also greeted them with high standards.
as expected.
Not long after entering the city, a large number of Ottoman palace honor guards appeared in front of them.
Various musical instruments began to accompaniment.
This exotic style made Hu Xier even happier.
Along the way, she was very interested in everything in Central Asia. Now she saw this ceremonial guard that was completely different from Long Yan, and naturally her eyes felt sore.
"Is Brother Jiang here?"
"Where's Brother Jiang?"
At this moment, a woman riding a war horse suddenly appeared in the honor guard.
Alyssa!
The eldest princess of the Ottomans!
She looked so heroic while riding a horse, but what was devastating was that she came out wearing a European court dress, which made everything look so nondescript, but despite this, people could still see her majestic appearance. , even a beauty like Hu Xier couldn't help but her eyes lit up.
"your Highness……"
"Your Highness Princess...slow down, pay attention to safety, pay attention to safety!"
Behind Alyssa, followed a group of people with headaches.
"General Jiang did not come this time... His Majesty has already said so."
This group of people couldn't stop Alyssa at all.
Is this the woman they said likes Brother Jiang?
Hu Xier blinked at Mo Chen.
How could Mo Chen understand this? He could only scratch his head.
Alyssa, who had already seen this luxurious carriage, ran towards her on horseback. She directly used the palace sword in her hand to lift the curtains of the carriage. When she saw that the two people inside were not the Jiang Xuan she was looking for, she suddenly had a cold look on her face. : "Where's Brother Jiang!"
Ouch!
Hu Xier has such a bad temper, who are you talking to!
I thought you were pretty just now!
I didn’t expect him to have such a bad temper!
No wonder Brother Jiang doesn’t want to take you back to Longyan!
Her expression also changed, and she snorted coldly: "Excuse me, who are you? Are you asking me? Does it have anything to do with you whether Brother Jiang is coming?"
"you……"
Alyssa also had a bad temper, and she almost stabbed her with the palace sword.
This little girl is too talkative!
"No, no, no, no, your Royal Highness..."
"your Highness!"
This scared a group of people silly.
Just kidding, this is a distinguished guest from Long Yan! If you do this, wouldn't it cause a diplomatic accident?
A group of people quickly pulled Alyssa.
Hu Xier also stared at her.
"Hmph, I'll show you later!"
Alyssa gritted her teeth and took one more look at the honor guard, making sure that there was no one else except these two people. Then she turned around and left without her eyes falling.
"De Xing, I'm afraid of you!"
Hu Xier yelled at her back.
Mo Chen quickly pulled her and said with a wry smile: "Ancestor, please stop talking."
"How dare you reprimand me!"
Hu Xier turned around and grabbed Mo Chen's ears.
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Mo Chen quickly cried out in pain.
Hu Xier snorted proudly, let go of her hand, but also sighed: "This princess from Laoshizi seems to really like Brother Jiang Xuan! Hey, she is also a pitiful person. Forget it, I don't care about her. that is!"
Mo Chen chuckled.
What he likes is Hu Xier's character. She looks unruly and willful, but is actually very kind. She may get along with you at first, but then she will forget about it as long as she is not a treacherous person.
"That's right...after all, we are guests, and we are here with a mission."
Mo Chen just said this.
Hu Xier was excited again: "Idiot, do you think this Ottoman dares to send troops to Tsarist Russia?"
"ah?"
Mo Chen was very troubled by this issue.
He is a scientific researcher and a descendant of the Mohist family. It is really a headache for him to think about these important family and national affairs and political matters.
"Should...should be..."
"After all, it was arranged by the young master, what do you think?"
Mo Chen scratched his head.
Hu Xier's eyes lit up: "Well, it will definitely work!"
Hamid came out to greet him personally.
Long Yanren...
He still has a good impression of Long Yanren. From the very beginning, when he was still an underappreciated prince, he admired Liu Zheng of Longyan. The two of them even became pen pals... Although they have never met until today, Liu Zheng gave him There is still a lot of help.
Later, when he led Sipaxi and Yenicheri to fight, Liu Zheng directly sent the Dark Night Army led by Jiang Xuan to Istanbul to help him ascend to the throne.
so.
He still showed enough respect to this distinguished guest from Long Yan.
Outside the palace in Istanbul, the carriage stopped, and Hamid came over with a smile on his face.
Accompanying him was Alyssa, who was arrogant and domineering just now, but now depressed. It was obvious that she must have been reprimanded by him just now. Although she was unwilling to do so, she still followed her brother to greet the two distinguished guests. .
"Hahahaha, welcome, welcome! Welcome you two!"
Hamid had received a letter from Liu Zheng before.
Liu Zheng specifically explained the identities of these two people in the letter. One was his sister and the other was his brother-in-law.
These two people are of sufficient rank to be diplomats.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the King!"
Facing the king of the Ottoman Empire, Mo Chen and Hu Xier were still very polite and courteous.
"Hahahaha, we are all family members, so don't be polite! Come on, come on in!"
Hamid has matured a lot now and is no longer the young man he was before. He has begun to have his own governing principles and decisions. Instead of blindly following Liu Zheng's will, this can be seen from his rejection of constitutional monarchy. Of course, this is actually a good thing. Today, Osman is in the stage of cultivating his health and recuperating, and he does not want to cause more trouble.
After Hamid ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, he entered into a political marriage with the daughter of an Ottoman lord.
Therefore, when welcoming Hu Xier and Hu Xier this time, in addition to his sister Alyssa, he also brought his queen, a graceful and luxurious standard European woman.
The standard of reception for the two of them was very high, it was the highest level banquet in the Ottoman palace.
"Ever since I said goodbye to General Jiang, I haven't had the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with my friend Long Yan! Fortunately, we have always exchanged letters with Liu Shoufu, so seeing these two distinguished guests feels very cordial!"
Hamid laughed heartily.
Hu Xier is also very curious about this Ottoman king. After all, although Osman is now beginning to decline, its territory is still very large. When she heard the sincerity in Hamid's words, she instantly felt good about him. Moreover, Hamid still used very standard Longyan language. It seemed that his respect for Longyan culture was not just talk.
"snort!"
Alyssa snorted coldly from the side.
It seemed that Jiang Xuan's absence still made her very unhappy.
"Alyssa!"
Hamid's face immediately fell: "How can a dignified Ottoman princess be so ignorant of etiquette? Apologize to the two of you!"
"you……"
Alyssa couldn't bear such grievance, and she was about to cry.
I had known that people in Europe did not pay much attention to etiquette, but now it seems that this is indeed the case. In Longyan, if a princess dared to openly get angry at the Holy Lord, she would not die.
While feeling surprised in her heart, Hu Xier also smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, there are just some misunderstandings between us and Her Royal Highness..."
"And...although Brother Jiang didn't come, he brought a gift to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"What?"
When Alyssa heard this, her face immediately glowed and she became happy instantly.
Hu Xier smiled. She suddenly fell in love with this Ottoman princess. She was such a sweetheart.
Um……
It must be as much fun as myself!
