Zhuge Youde's plan was actually to use the inheritance rights of the Romanov dynasty held by Natalie and the descendants of the Ming Dynasty Taiping Emperor to send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of the Rakshasa when drastic changes occurred within the Rakshasa. Establish a puppet state in the Siberian region to which the Shasha belongs.
Of course, although the internal conflicts in the Rakshasa Kingdom were acute, and the Tsarist family was unable to reconcile them, they had to resort to foreign wars to divert them, so the situation was naturally not promising. But it’s hard to say when the Rakshasa drama will come. So this marriage arranged by Zhuge Youde is just the beginning. In the future, the Zhu family bloodline passed down by Natalie will continue to marry with the Romanov dynasty to improve their ranking among the presumed heirs to the throne...
But once the Romanov dynasty took over England through the marriage of Alexander and Victoria, Zhuge Youde's plan was completely ruined. Because after Alexander and Victoria, the Romanov dynasty will be divided into two, one will rule Rakshasa, and the other will rule Yinglun. Once there is a change in Rakshasa, the British branch will take over. Considering that the Rakshasa people have always been oriented towards the West, once they are asked to make a choice between the British Romanov dynasty and the princes who obtained the inheritance rights of the Romanov dynasty from the maternal line in the Ming dynasty, the results can be imagined.
In addition, it is possible that the Rakshasa Empire found a more comfortable position in the Western colonial system led by the British Empire because it shared the Romanov dynasty with the British.
In this way, the Ming Empire had to face a monolithic Western colonial system. The Ming Dynasty, which was rebuilt by King Zhuge Wuzhong, is certainly not afraid of the invasion of Western colonists, but the goods produced by the Ming Empire need the West and the market under Western control - the current foreign trade situation of the Ming Empire is a bit like Germany before World War I, accounting for almost Accounting for more than ten percent of the total international trade, it is the world's largest trading country. However, the maritime transport that carries the bulk of world trade is beyond the control of the Ming Empire. Even though the Ming Dynasty's naval strength is considerable, Britain still relies on its glorious Royal Navy and its colonies and naval bases around the world to dominate the oceans.
This fleet of the Royal Navy is actually relatively easy to deal with... What really troubles the Zhuge Family's military advisors are the routes, key shipping nodes, and chokepoints of maritime traffic that are controlled by the Western colonial system.
The British Empire, which has been operating the oceans for many years, has built countless fortresses and military ports at these shipping nodes and chokepoints, and has also deployed a large number of squadrons that can be used to block trade.
As long as London gives an order, Ming Dynasty's main foreign trade routes will be cut off!
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to open up shipping routes, it would have to send fleets to occupy its heavily fortified naval fortresses one by one.
What’s even more troublesome is that the British Empire also raised an Asian vicious dog on the doorstep of the Ming Empire! Although the Ming Dynasty's military power was enough to crush the East, it would be very troublesome to actually occupy its country. Those shabby little islands are home to 40 million people, and the mountains are rugged, the plains are narrow, and the human nature is cruel. Once they are occupied, poverty alleviation is required...
Because of the above troubles, the Zhuge family has been planning to support the Rakshasa Empire, the "European land hegemon", to challenge the British Empire's control of the European continent. And he also set up a plan to divide Rakshasa after its defeat...
Such a trap that took so much painstaking effort and more than ten years to set up was destroyed by Zhuge Weidao with just a few random moves.
What should I do?
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weijiu could only sigh: "Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations!" He glanced at Zhuge Weixue, "Go and generate electricity for the 108th brother and Baozhi... Let them send electricity to them as soon as possible. Grand Duchess Natalie will be brought back to the Ming Dynasty. This can’t happen again, otherwise I won’t even be able to protect my 108th brother!”
"Second brother, don't worry, Brother 1808 will definitely not make any mistakes again this time."
...
"Hahaha, Sister Shiba, it seems that Zhuge Bai08's brain is really broken. He actually did such a thing. Mr. Zhuge must be so angry that he vomits blood right now! Hahaha... "
In the Cining Palace in the Forbidden City, a thin man in his forties with a fair face, high cheekbones, a goatee, and a python robe was sitting on a Taishi chair and laughing, holding a telegram in his hand. copy.
Sitting opposite him was a bright and beautiful woman in her thirties, wearing plain armor. Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the woman just sighed softly: "The fortune-telling skills of the Zhuge family are also getting worse from generation to generation... They didn't even take into account Xiao Daozi's bloody disaster. The memorial said that he suffered amnesia due to trauma. , I wonder if you have forgotten the Aijia?"
"Sister Shiba, please lower your voice..." The middle-aged man looked around nervously and lowered his voice, "Sister Shiba, you are the Queen Mother!"
It turns out that this bright woman who was thinking about "Zhuge Xiaodaozi" was actually the biological mother of the little emperor Taiping of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Zheng!
Empress Dowager Zheng was of course the queen of King Zheng Chengzhong, and she was a brother and sister to Zheng Guozhong, the current Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty. The middle-aged man sitting opposite her was Zheng Guozhong.
Among the eight major families of the Ming Dynasty today, the only one that can compete with the Zhuge family is the Zheng family inherited from King Zheng Chengzhong!
Although the Zheng family does not have the ability to "pinch and calculate", the Zheng family has strong capital. During the Ming Dynasty, King Zhuge Wuzhong had less than a thousand soldiers and could not defeat Guo Yu. Zheng Chenggong was already the "Pirate King", and his subordinates Hundreds of thousands of brothers. Even if he died young, the plate he left behind would not fall apart under the fundamentals of "eight kings co-governance" - King Zhuge Wuzhong was not willing to do this. Because once he defeats the Zheng family, the blood alliance of the Eight Kings will be broken.
Under the careful maintenance of King Zhuge Wuzhong, the power of the Zheng family was not only maintained, but also took advantage of the "Government of King Wuzhong", which not only made the Zheng family's sea trade more and more prosperous, but also inexplicably closed it down. There are two "little Zhengs", one is the Zheng Dynasty of Annan, and the other is the Zheng Dynasty of Thonburi, Siam.
These two "little Zhengs" checked their genealogy with the Zheng family of King Cheng of the Ming Dynasty and found that their ancestors were all Zheng, so they recognized the Zheng family of King Cheng as the "big clan" and they regarded it as the "small clan". The Japanese Zheng family founded by the younger brother of Zheng Chenggong in Japan has formed a situation of one large and three small ones, with four Zhengs holding a group. With the support of Annan Zheng and Siam Zheng, the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty developed tens of millions of acres of fertile land in the Jiulong River Plain in southern Annam and Siam, becoming the largest landowners in East Asia.
With the income from sea trade and land in Annan and Siam, the Zheng family of King Cheng will naturally have the economic strength to compete with the Zhuge family!
Therefore, since the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhuge family and the Zheng family have the largest number of people who worshiped the prime minister. Over the past 100 years, half of the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty came from these two families. And between these two aristocratic families, there is naturally indispensable overt and covert fighting, as well as incompatibility...
Empress Dowager Zheng listened to her brother's reminder and just snorted: "What empress dowager, she is just a widow in the deep palace... Fourth brother, I have left my words here. This is what little people are like. We can't add insult to injury any more." Got it!"
"I know, I know," Prime Minister Zheng laughed, "It's not my family's fault that he broke. Why should I be in trouble with him? I mean..."
Empress Dowager Zheng didn't wait for Zheng Daxiangguo to finish what he said, she continued what he said and said quietly: "Why don't you accept me and become a dog?"
Prime Minister Zheng nodded his head, and then looked at Queen Mother Zheng: "Queen Mother, something is wrong with him, how can he still be our dog?"
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and said: "If there is something wrong here, it can be controlled. Otherwise... how can the one hundred and eight men of the Zhuge family be so easy to control? Moreover, the Zhuge family's military advisor test is about fortune-telling. It is said that the fortune-telling technique passed down by King Zhuge Wuzhong requires talent the most, and One Hundred and Eighth Lang is extremely talented, and he has been able to calculate since he was a child!"
Prime Minister Zheng nodded: "All the military advisors of the Zhuge family are very capable of calculating... If our Zheng family can get a glimpse of the secrets, we will be the real No. 1 family!"
While the brother and sister were talking, a black eunuch flew into Cining Palace, and then bowed to Empress Dowager Zheng and Prime Minister Zheng: "Empress Dowager, Zheng Zhongtang, the emperor is here!"
The two brothers and sisters of the Zheng family looked at each other and couldn't help but frown. Then they saw Prime Minister Zheng standing up and standing, facing the gate of Cining Palace, standing respectfully, looking like a virtuous minister. Empress Dowager Zheng sat upright, looking solemn and precious.
The two of them had just dressed up, and a handsome young man with delicate features had already walked in from the outside quickly, holding a test paper in his hand. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Mother, my son has scored another hundred points." .....None of the children from aristocratic families in the class did as well as I did!"
Prime Minister Zheng smiled when he heard this: "The Emperor is indeed gifted with talents!"
Empress Dowager Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, we are almost catching up with Zhuge Daozi..."
This beautiful young man with delicate features, surnamed Zhu, and given name Xiwen, is a descendant of Zhu Yihai, the supervisor of Lu State. When the young emperor heard his mother mention Zhuge Dao, he was a little unhappy: "Why is it Zhuge Daozi again...Mother, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How can I compare with him as a minister?" of?"
...
"For the sake of Dao, can you really go on the road? The injury on your head is okay, right? Do you want to rest in Petersburg for a while? Natalie Pavlovna, why do you get seasick? Don't you often go out to sea to play? ?Why are you getting seasick?”
Petersburg Winter Palace, Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich was sitting in a living room, drinking coffee and talking with Zhuge Weidao and Grand Duchess Natalie.
Zhuge Weidao looked good, but he still had a scary gauze wrapped around his head, while Grand Duchess Natalie was wearing a black mourning dress - the coffin of her eldest brother Alexander I has been transported to Petersburg and will be in full bloom tomorrow Buried in the cathedral in the Petersburg Fortress.
After Alexander I's glorious burial, Natalie should be ready to go out.
There is no railway connection between Daming and Rakshasa, so the best route from Rakshasa to Daming is to take the sea route. Daming's Ningyuan fast cruiser is parked at the dock in Petersburg. When the ice age in Petersburg passes, Zhuge Weidao and Natalie can board this fast cruiser and go back to the Ming Dynasty... If the journey goes well, they can arrive in two or three months.
But Natalie suddenly learned to get seasick and refused to take the water route. Instead, she wanted to take the land route to Daming, which was a long way!
Moreover, we have to coordinate with the Golden Empire sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and Rakshasa, which is quite troublesome!
"The wound on my head is no longer serious, and there is a train from Petersburg to the border of the Golden Empire. I can also rest on the train." Zhuge Weidao smiled and asked about the Golden Empire. The question is, "Mikhail Pavlovich, are there no problems with the Golden Empire? By the way, what is the name of the current emperor of the Golden Empire?"
Grand Duke Mikhail frowned again when he heard this question. Zhuge Weidao's amnesia is still not cured! He had no choice but to patiently introduce the situation of the Golden Empire to the amnesiac Zhuge, who was clever and resourceful. "For the sake of Dao, the emperor of the Golden Empire is surnamed Aixinjueluo, and his name is... Minning."
"Aixinjueluo Minning?" Zhuge Weidao blurted out, "Emperor Daoguang?"
He never expected that the history of the Qing Dynasty was changed to the Golden Empire of the Western Regions by King Zhuge Wuzhong, and that Emperor Daoguang could still be born. The vitality of this light was too tenacious, wasn't it?
"Yes, yes," Mikhail nodded, "It's called Emperor Daoguang, and Daoguang is his reign name. The Jin Empire is the same as your Ming Dynasty. Each emperor has a reign name, such as Kangxi, Yongzheng, Jiaqing, etc. Daoguang... By the way, the Jin Empire also has an embassy in Petersburg, and they also have a special envoy in Petersburg. I can arrange for you to meet with He Shen, the special envoy of the Jin Empire."
