"Sofia...you don't really want to marry that Mongol Khan, do you? As far as I know, Mongolians don't believe in God. They either believe in Allah or they are Buddhists."
Sofia's grandfather, Grand Duke Miloslavsky, saw the cruel smile on the "little princess"'s face and knew that his granddaughter, who could never find a suitable husband, was in love with her.
But the old man still has some doubts about this marriage. After all... those are the ferocious Mongols!
And once Tsar Feodor died, the Miloslavsky family would need the protection of this arrogant and powerful princess!
Sofia was a little doubtful after what her grandfather said, and looked back at Golitsyn.
Golitsyn shook his head and said: "Kangxi Khan indeed did not believe in God. He believed in Buddhism and Confucianism... Confucianism is a very influential traditional school in China and has been engaged in the research of natural magic for a long time. "
"He is a magician?" Princess Sofia's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her doubts seemed to be dispelled again.
"I think so," Golitsyn replied.
"The Mongols are barbaric and stupid," Grand Duke Miloslavsky began to speak ill of Emperor Kangxi again, "and they also beat their wives!"
"Hit your wife?" Princess Sofia smoothed her sleeves, revealing two thick arms, and glared, "He dares!"
Golitsyn quickly shook his head and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, he doesn't dare... He is a small Khan, and he will definitely not be able to defeat Her Highness the Princess.
And he was neither barbaric nor stupid, he spoke Latin better than I did, and he was proficient in mathematics and astronomy. As far as I know, he is also very knowledgeable about world and European affairs, and has always maintained contact with the Holy See. Envoy Soetu, who arrived in Moscow with me this time, will also lead a mission directly to Western Europe after completing his mission to visit our country. "
"Going to Western Europe?" Grand Duke Miloslavsky was stunned. "Why are you going to Western Europe? Do you want Europeans to know that the formidable Mongolia is back?"
Sofia snorted: "Actually, that's not bad... The superior people in Europe always regard us as inferior barbarians. Now they have to rely on us to resist a powerful Mongol Empire!"
Golitsyn frowned and said: "Your Royal Highness, the Great Khan also hopes that our Tsar Majesty can also serve as the Great Khan of the Golden Horde..."
"What?" Grand Duke Miloslavsky was stunned. "What does he want to do? Is he going to tie us into a chariot for Mongolia's Western Expedition?"
"No, no, his request is not to turn the Rakshasa Kingdom into the Golden Horde," Golitsyn shook his head repeatedly, "but to give the title of Golden Horde Khan to His Majesty the Tsar, so that our Rakshasa Kingdom will Can legally annex the Siberian Khanate, Kazan Khanate and Crimean Khanate!
In addition, His Majesty the Tsar holds the title of Great Khan of the Golden Horde, which is also conducive to our Rakshasa Kingdom entering the system of Eastern civilization. . "
"Enter the Eastern system? Vasily Vasilyevich," Sofia Gongzhu frowned, "Do you really think it is necessary for us to turn to the East?"
"No," Golitsyn shook his head, "It is not to turn to the East. Our Rakshasa's goal is always to revive Rome! But it is necessary for us to learn from the West and the East at the same time, rather than ****... After all Sweet gunpowder and rocket launchers both come from the East, that's what a powerful Rakshasa country needs!
Moreover, if we can get a powerful Mongol Empire to stand behind us, it will be very beneficial to achieve our goal of going south to seize the Black Sea coastal areas! "
In fact, the Rakshasa people still yearn for the West from the bottom of their hearts, but after all, they are a proud big country and have the desire to become a leader... So the Rakshasa people want to borrow the shell of the Roman Empire and enter as Romans The west.
YY
Retaking Constantinople was the obvious shortcut to achieving this goal.
Constantinople's warm climate and convenient transportation also make the Rakshasa people, who have lived in secluded and cold environments for a long time, salivate.
In addition, the Crimean Khanate is not a good thing... They are the royal slave traders of the Ottoman Empire. They have been capturing strong male slaves and blond female slaves in southern Russia for a long time. Just for this reason, the Rakshasa people have to destroy them too!
"But, but..." Grand Duke Miloslavsky glanced at his ugly and a little rough granddaughter, hesitating and didn't know what to say?
"Grandpa," Princess Sofia was very smart. She certainly knew what the old man was thinking, "If the Miloslavsky family becomes the in-laws of the Mongolian Khan...even if Peter becomes the Tsar, there will be nothing to worry about. .
Because as long as the Ottoman Empire does not collapse and Constantinople is not recovered, Mongolia will be the most reliable and closest friend of the Rakshasa Kingdom! "
Grand Duke Miloslavsky could only smile bitterly in his heart when he heard his granddaughter's analysis. If Sofia's looks were half as good as her brains, he would be very much in favor of the marriage. After all, Ivan, the stupid son of the tsar's family, seemed unlikely to have any heirs, and his health was not in good shape... If he died again, Peter would still become the tsar.
But he couldn't tell Sophia that you were ugly and you would definitely not be able to win the favor of Kangxi Khan. Besides, this is a political marriage. If Kangxi Khan's political skills were smart enough, then Sofia's appearance would not matter at all.
"Okay," Grand Duke Miloslavsky finally nodded, "Then let's report this to His Majesty the Tsar now... In addition, let His Majesty try the potion again, if it can cure him My body is stronger than anything else!"
...
After taking allicin, Tsar Fyodor really became more energetic. The low-grade fever he had suffered for several days also subsided, and he even felt much better. His long-term illness was about to end, and suddenly there was a life-saving medicine. Everyone would be happy, not to mention that Fyodor was still a tsar.
The Tsar cheered up and asked Golitsyn to invite Soetu and Xiao Guizi to the Kremlin early the next morning. They even summoned Princess Sofia and Grand Duke Miloslavsky... Marriage is such a big deal, the Mongolian envoys must be allowed to see the princess's strength!
"Xiao, Xiao Guizi, did I hear you correctly? Is that female Baturu really that Princess Sofia?"
There was a translator who could speak Mongolian in the tsar's court. After this introduction, Soetu immediately knew that Emperor Kangxi had been tricked. He did not care about diplomatic etiquette and used Manchurian in front of the tsar and Princess Sophia. I asked Xiao Guizi a question.
Xiao Guizi felt a little numb when she saw the thick iron pillar-like princess, but she still nodded and said: "Suo Zhongtang, she, she seems to be Princess Sofia...Long live the Lord, long live the Lord... .”
