"Really?" Tsar Feodor III showed a sad expression, "It seems that the one thousand people brought by Golitsyn can't reverse the decline of the East."
"Ten thousand people are of no avail!" Polotsky said. "The gunpowder mixed with sugar is really as powerful as the legend says! And according to the report of the Governor of Yakutsk, the Ming Army adopted Similar tactics to the most advanced armies in Western Europe...even superior in many ways! And there are a lot of them!"
"Many?" asked the Tsar. "How many?"
"The number of standing armies may be as high as hundreds of thousands!" Polotsky said with a frown. "Your Majesty, that is the richest country in the world, and it has a population of 50 to 60 million. All the sugar in the world, Most of the silk and porcelain come from the Ming Dynasty! And they also have the hardest steel, and it is said that... they also have magic!"
"Magic?" The Tsar was stunned. "Teacher, are you telling the truth?"
"I'm not sure," Polotsky said, "but the news from Western Europe says this...their magic is called 'natural magic', saying that everything in nature has magic power. As long as you discover the secrets and use them, you can obtain magic power. Sweet gunpowder, rockets, and a magic potion that is said to cure all diseases were all invented based on the principles of 'natural magic'."
"Bao, can cure all diseases?" When the Tsar heard this, he immediately became energetic. "Is this true?"
He is just a sick man who is about to die! If there was such a magic potion, he could grow as thick and strong as his sister, that would be great!
"Your Majesty, this medicine must exist," Polotsky said, "but..."
He only spoke half of the story, for he knew that the Tsar's illness was probably outside the "hundred diseases"... one hundred and one, one hundred and two.
What a pity!
"Fyodor, I propose to immediately introduce sweet gunpowder, rockets and magic potions that can cure all diseases from the Ming Dynasty, and negotiate with the Ming Dynasty on the border issue of the eastern territory... As long as the Ming Dynasty is willing to provide it free of charge A large amount of sweet gunpowder, rocket launchers, rockets and magic potions. We should give some of the land we snatched from the Tatars to the Ming Dynasty. Then we will use these sweet gunpowder and rocket launchers to snatch Western Ukraine from the Turks. , that’s where the real richness lies!”
The person who is now advising Tsar Feodor III is a dark-skinned, fat, and fleshy "female woman". She is Sofia Alexeyevna, the sister of Tsar Feodor III... She is the hairy lover of Wei Xiaobao in the "Jin Da Xia" novel.
However, the real Princess Sofia is not a white-skinned and beautiful Rakshasa beauty, but a strong female warrior with both civil and military skills but an ugly appearance. . Princess Sofia was also a student of Polotsky - who, together with his other student Medvedev, was the founder of the Slavonic-Greek-Latin Academy, the first institution of higher learning in Russian history.
Princess Sofia and Tsar Feodor were also Polotsky's favorite students, and like their little brother Peter, these two were extremely smart academics. However, Tsar Feodor was a poor medicine man because he suffered from scurvy since childhood. But Sofia was born with big shoulders and a round waist, and she was extremely powerful. If Kangxi, the great Mongolian Khan, competed with her in Mongolian wrestling, he would definitely be bruised and swollen...
In addition to being good at studies and in good physical condition, Princess Sofia is also a rather smart politician, because her younger brother Fyodor is weak and sick and does not have enough energy to handle heavy government affairs. Therefore, Princess Sofia, who cannot get married, has been assisting her younger brother. Although she does not have the title of regent, she is doing the work of regent.
Although the intensity and depth of the reforms implemented by Tsar Sofia and Feodor during their reigns were incomparable to the various reforms during the reign of their younger brother Peter the Great. However, the Rakshasa Kingdom also made a lot of progress in all aspects during their reign.
For example, the establishment of the Slavonic-Greek-Latin Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Rakshasa Kingdom; and the inventory of the land, serfs, and farmhands owned by landlords and nobles; and the burning of official records kept in the homes of all nobles, which was actually partially abolished. The practice of determining official titles based on birthplace was introduced.
The most important reform measures of Sofia and Tsar Feodor are still in the military field - zero-dollar purchases are the last word!
During the reign of Feodor III, the Rakshasa Kingdom carried out important military reforms, began to distinguish between civilian officials and military attaches, implemented a military rank system, and equipped and trained its army in accordance with European standards.
Therefore, the strength of the Rakshasa Kingdom's army greatly improved during the reign of Feodor III, and it was finally able to compete with Poland-Lithuania, the Crimean Khanate and the Ottoman Empire.
Not long ago, the First Russo-Turkish War, which lasted for five years, ended in a draw, and the Ukrainian land east of the Dnieper River was preserved - Ukraine had been divided between the Ottoman Empire and the Rakshasa State. In 1667, the Rakshasa Kingdom obtained the Ukrainian land on the east bank of the Dnieper River, and the Ottomans snatched the Ukrainian land on the west bank of the Dnieper River from the Big Bobo in 1672.
Of course, Ukraine at that time was not as big as Ukraine later. A large area of land along the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov was the territory of the Crimean Khanate, and in later generations, western Ukraine still belonged to Poland.
At that time, after the leader of Western Ukraine defected to the Ottoman Empire, he attempted to rely on the power of the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate to seize Russian Eastern Ukraine, which triggered a war.
Although the results of the war did not increase the Rakshasa Kingdom's land, they defeated the arrogant Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate and preserved Eastern Ukraine. Such a result certainly greatly encouraged the young, energetic and very belligerent Princess Sofia. Historically, during her reign, she sent troops to attack the Crimean Khanate twice, but both ended in failure. These two failures greatly damaged her authority and turned her into a female version of Obai - both were overthrown by young monarchs who relied on child soldiers, and the two were of similar stature...
But now "Female Oboi" may have a chance to change her fate against the odds!
Not only because she is likely to become the queen of Mongol Kangxi Khan, but also because the Ming Dynasty in the East is also preparing to export military sugar and rocket launchers to the Rakshasa Kingdom!
In Zhu Heji's calculation, the Ottoman Empire, which had obtained enough military sugar and rocket launcher technology, could become a nightmare for Central and Western Europe after conquering Vienna. And the Rakshasa Kingdom can become a big trouble for the Ottoman Empire after getting the sugar and rocket launchers from the Ming Dynasty... As long as the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire fight each other, the chaos in Europe can continue, and the Ming Dynasty will I can take this opportunity to capture more overseas zero-dollar shopping markets.
Tsar Feodor III nodded and said feebly: "If they can provide enough sweet gunpowder and rocket launchers... we can certainly cede some interests in the East. But we cannot cede Irkut Tsk and Yakutsk... In addition, there must be a treaty to ensure commerce. Siberian furs need a market, and we also need to establish a trade route between the east and the west.”
Polotsky, who was in charge of diplomatic negotiations, quickly stood up, bowed to the ailing Tsar, and then exited the palace where the Tsar was recovering from illness together with Sofia, the "Female Obois".
...
When "Female Oboi" left the Kremlin, her "right son" Kangxi Khan was saying goodbye to Golitsyn, Xiao Guizi and Soetu outside Tashkent.
Kangxi is now the master of Tashkent!
After seeing the head of Touk Khan, the Kazakhs guarding Tashkent immediately opened the city gate to welcome the Mongol Khan into the Stone City loyal to him (Tashkent means Stone City)!
At the same time as Tashkent was obtained, many Kazakh Uluth leaders also surrendered to Kangxi. Almost the entire grassland fell at the feet of this Mongol Khan!
