The combined territory of the Kazakh grassland and the Rakshasa Kingdom is really huge and boundless! The straight-line distance from Tashkent to Moscow is 5,600 miles!
In order to rush for time, Golitsyn, Soetu, Xiao Guizi and others rode on horseback despite the cold winter wind, but they still walked for more than two months before arriving in Moscow, the capital of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
When they arrived in Moscow, the wheel of time had already rolled to January 1682 in the Western calendar. It is the coldest time in Moscow. The whole city is as frozen as an ice lump, and everything is covered with ice and snow. The streets of the city were very deserted, with few pedestrians. Although Moscow was also the capital of a big country at this time, it had nothing to do with prosperity and prosperity. In terms of population, not to mention compared to Beijing, even compared to Tashkent, the stone city in Central Asia where Kangxi is now located, it is only in the middle.
No matter who sees this city, it is difficult to associate it with a large empire with a vast territory and a large population.
The army of the Rakshasa Kingdom didn't look good either. In order to welcome the arrival of the Mongol Khan's envoy, the Tsar ordered the shooting army stationed in Moscow to line up in the square outside the Kremlin to greet him - this army said that it had already begun " "Europeanized", but looking at their equipment and queues, you can tell that not only have they not entered the "Sugar Era", they can't even line up to shoot well.
Because most of the musketeers still use old-fashioned matchlocks, and they are also equipped with a big ax that can be used as a musket holder... plus their big beards, red hats, and red robes (it looks a bit Like Santa Claus), which seems quite majestic to outsiders.
However, in the eyes of Suo'etu and Xiao Guizi, who have experienced battles for a long time, this is just an army from a backward era and is nothing to worry about.
The Tsar himself did not appear in the square outside the Kremlin. The Tsar's chief minister, Grand Duke Miloslavsky (also the Tsar's grandfather), a sad-faced old man wearing a Turkic-style robe, welcomed the envoy of the Mongol Khan on behalf of the Tsar. minister.
When he heard that the envoys brought by Golitsyn actually represented Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia, he seemed very surprised. However, he still received the Mongolian envoys with enough courtesy, and sent someone to send them to the state guesthouse to stay temporarily, waiting for an interview with His Majesty the Tsar. But when he said this, he couldn't wipe away the scowl on his forehead. .
After settling Soetu, Xiaoguizi, and the other Mongolian envoys, Golitsyn immediately entered the Kremlin with the garlic medicine and perfume given by Kangxi. He also entered a room outside the palace where the tsar was recovering. In Princess Sofia's house, I saw Grand Duke Miloslavsky and Princess Sofia.
"Grand Duke, Princess, will His Majesty the Tsar please..." Golitsyn looked worried - he was the backbone of Grand Duke Miloslavsky and Princess Sofia's faction, and he was having an affair with Princess Sofia!
Of course he knew that the Tsar's health was not good. Today was the visit of the Mongol Khan's envoy. If the Tsar could still hold on, he would always show his face.
If you don't show up now, it doesn't seem to be a good idea.
Tsar Feodor had no sons to ascend the throne. Once he died, only two younger brothers would be left to inherit the throne. The eldest of these two brothers is named Ivan Alexeevich, and the younger is Peter Alexeevich...which is also the historical Peter the Great!
If we follow the principle of "establishing the leader", of course it will be Ivan who will succeed the Tsar after Feodor's death. But the problem is that this Ivan is an idiot - I don’t know how the old Tsar Alexei I gave birth to a baby? Three extremely intelligent "Tianniu" (born cow babies) paired with an imbecile...
Of course, an imbecile should not be the tsar, so the great nobles in the country supported Peter, the youngest son of Alexei I, as the new tsar.
In fact, as early as when Feodor ascended the throne and was crowned, many nobles wanted to support Peter, who was only four years old, to the throne. Although Peter was still a baby at the time, he was very strong and beautiful - he looked like a little angel.
In comparison, brothers Fyodor and Ivan were sick, imbecile, and ugly... they looked nothing like the Tsar!
And this Peter, Sofia, Fyodor, and Ivan siblings were not born to the same mother. The mother of the three siblings was Miloslavskaya, who came from a well-known family, and Peter's mother was Naryshkina, the fill-in-the-house of the old tsar.
And this Naryshkina is still alive. There is also a Naryshkin family behind her, and she is also supported by the Orthodox Church.
If Naryshkina's son, Peter, who is only ten years old this year, becomes the tsar, then she will be the queen regent... And Grand Duke Miloslavsky, who has suppressed the Naryshkin family before, There will definitely be no good results with Princess Sofia.
So when they heard Golitsyn's words, they both sighed.
Sofia said: "Now we are waiting for the magic potion to be sent from Ming Kingdom...but Ming Kingdom is too far away and will not be able to deliver it for six or seven months!"
"Magic potion?" Golitsyn immediately took out two very beautiful bottles from his pocket like a magic trick, one was a crystal glass bottle and the other was a milky white porcelain bottle.
"What's in these two bottles?" Grand Duke Miloslavsky was a bumpkin and didn't recognize it at all.
"It's so beautiful! Vasily, is that glass bottle you are holding filled with perfume? It's such a big bottle!"
Sofia recognized the crystal glass bottle containing the perfume at a glance.
Because she also got a small crystal glass bottle filled with perfume - it was not given by anyone, but she bought it from a Jewish profiteer with her own money.
And now Golitsyn brought a big bottle!
Princess Sophia was a little moved...
"The glass bottle contains the perfume," Golitsyn said, "the porcelain bottle contains the potion..."
"Heaven!"
"Where did it come from?"
Golitsyn replied: "It was a gift from Kangxi Khan of Great Mongolia... to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Give it to me? Why?" Sofia was stunned. This princess probably had never received any Valentine's Day gifts before, so she didn't react at all.

"Your Highness," Golitsyn said with a smile on his face, "Kangxi Khan hopes to marry you as his bride..."
"He...marry me?" Princess Sophia couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes!" Golitsyn smiled, "Your Royal Highness, he is a great Khan, extraordinary in military prowess, and a rare warrior... Kazakh Touq Khan has been killed by him! The entire Kazakh grassland has been killed by him Conquered, the city of Tashkent is already owned by him. If nothing happens, he will own the entire Mongolstan in a few months!
Princess, if you can become his wife..."
Grand Duke Milovsky interrupted him quickly: "Vasili, what are you talking about? He is an Easterner who does not believe in God."
"The Grand Duke," Golitsyn shook his head and said, "He is the Great Khan of Mongolia!"
Princess Sofia asked: "What does he look like? How old is he?"
Golitsyn knew that the princess was attracted, so he smiled and said: "Princess, the Mongolian Khan has a well-proportioned figure and a handsome appearance. He is not too old. He looks like he is only in his early thirties... Your Highness, this is a pretty good deal. Marriage! I think you and the Mongol Khan will be very happy together."
