The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 436

After sitting down, Hudick drank the mulled wine and glanced at Cromwell.

After Olaf’s eyes indicated that it was okay, he wiped his mouth, stood up and said: “Your Majesty, Your Highness the Regent, I received news three days ago that the Qing Dynasty, which was in the Far East and the Ming Dynasty, sent a mission to Moscow to meet the Tsar. Leksey Mikhailovich, we have just established diplomatic relations with Ming, and the enemy of Ming has established diplomatic relations with Russia, which is definitely not good for us, and Russia has always wanted to seize the eastern seaport of the Baltic Sea and eastern Ukraine, We are their biggest stumbling block…”

Olaf was a little unbelievable when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he felt that the Qing Dynasty wanted to unify China, and it was not surprising that Sweden’s support for Nanming caused them to go south.

After pondering for a moment, Olaf asked, “Have you investigated? Who is the representative of the Qing envoy? How did you get in touch with Russia?”

Hu Diq seemed to be suffering from some cold, and he coughed for a while before saying: “Before I came, I asked the Russian mechanic I cultivated to investigate, and I got the news that the Qing Dynasty is very powerful, and it is another Khan who has inherited the Mongolian Khanate across the Eurasian continent. A few years ago, a powerful Kalmyk Khanate appeared on the Volga River in the southeast of Moscow. They called themselves the Turghut Khanate. Russia tried to conquer them, but failed. It turned out that the Turghut Khanate was the Qing Kingdom. The vassal state of the Great Khanate, their Great Khan just returned from the Qing Dynasty to see the Great Khan last year, and the Qing Kingdom was the thread that the king of the Turghut Khanate, the Book of Kurdai Khan, led the Russian Tsar.

I heard that the envoy dispatched by the Qing Kingdom is the uncle of the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom and the brother of the regent. Now that the two countries have established diplomatic relations, the discussion is definitely not good for us. Olaf, we must make plans early! ”

Olaf nodded, first instructing the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Hudik, and then turned to the forehead next to him and instructed: “Use the spies of the Naturalization Department to investigate and see what covenant the Russians signed with the Qing court? Russia recently Will there be a big move?”

Etuku quickly withdrew, Olaf asked Hudick to send out, and then pretended that nothing happened and accompanied Cromwell to drink.

Because the conversation between Olaf and Hudik just now was all in Old Norse, Cromwell didn’t understand it. Although he noticed some special circumstances, he pretended to be nothing.

After the banquet was over, the Cromwells returned to the palace to rest, glanced at their slightly raised eyebrows, Cromwell snorted coldly, “Richard, you have to keep your head down, don’t let people see you without doing anything. Come up with your thoughts. Tell me, what were Hudik and Olaf talking about just now?”

“Father, I remember.” Little Cromwell first agreed honestly, and then repeated what he heard.

Since the rise of Iceland, Cromwell knew clearly that if the British Republic wants to develop, it must have a good relationship with the Principality of Iceland and the Olaf family behind it, and even defeat each other in the future before Great Britain can rise, because it is the same island country. With the same development model, competition is inevitable.

Richard Cromwell, as the heir, has been learning Old Norse for the past five years, and at the same time learning all the knowledge of the Lake Island Military Academy.

When Cromwell learned that Ming’s rival Qing in the Far East had established diplomatic relations with Russia, he was moved and murmured: “I remember the Dutch people were very angry when their business in the Far East was taken away by Sweden, maybe we can pass the Dutch and the East. Indian companies are also taking a share in the Far East…”

Moscow, the Kremlin is brightly lit

The hall was full of guests and friends. The young tsar Alexei Mikhailovich sat on the head with a crown on his head and a scepter in his hand. Around him were the princes and nobles of Moscow, but the most respected ones were the Orthodox Christians. The patriarch, because they have been ruled by the Tatars for too long, their living habits are completely different from those in northern Europe and other places. The table is mainly barbecued, and there are some fruits, but what everyone likes the most is to purchase from Finland. The water of life, this highly spirited drink, the Moscow princes couldn’t live without it.

Since the tsar claimed to be Roman orthodox, even the Habsburgs and France looked down on them, but the princes and nobles of Russia have really regarded themselves as one of the most noble nobles in Europe, in the past with the southern Crimean Khanate. Countries such as Poland and the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania in the west also maintain a high-level attitude when interacting with each other, and only restrain themselves when facing Sweden.

However, these self-proclaimed dignitaries were uncharacteristically seated in elegant court postures, smiling genially and chatting with another table of guests wearing red tops and indigo jackets.

The auxiliary minister Morozov was old, but he was still greedy for power. He asked politely: “Respected Qing envoy, I heard that your country’s great emperor, Mongolian Khan is young and promising, just like the emperor of our country. The same as Your Majesty? That must be because of the loyalty and ability of His Royal Highness the Regent of your country?”

The official envoy of the Qing court was Dorgon’s elder brother Azige. He was a good soldier in war, but he was irritable and courageous, so Dorgon also sent Fan Wencheng as his deputy to assist him.

After listening to the Mongolian language translated by Turghut, Azig grinned, put down the leg of lamb, stretched out his bright hand and rubbed the skirt of the Russian slave girl who was waiting on the side, and then said: “Dorgon is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The father regent is the first emperor in the world, Amma, if it weren’t for the fact that your Europa Sweden also had a father regent of Zhuge Xiangfu, we would have ruled China long ago.”

Fan Wencheng saw that Azige drank too much, worried that his words would collide with the Russian emperor without a word, and let the already negotiated Western firearms and artillery assistance plan go to waste again, and hurriedly stuffed the two Arab female slaves beside him to Azige. In his arms, he said, “Your Highness, take advantage of it first, and the servants will send this group of Europa barbarians away.”

Azi

^0^ Geben didn’t look down on Europa, and what he saw along the way when he led the mission to visit was also dilapidated and poor, far inferior to the flowery world in the hinterland of Daming, so he also looked down on Russia’s **** emperor at all. , but it is his attitude and the huge name of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who also served as the Mongolian Khan, so that the Russians are afraid of the Qing Dynasty, the suzerain of the Kalmyk Khanate, thinking that this is a powerful Khanate that traverses the Eurasian continent, It is a behemoth that competes with the Ming Dynasty for Asian suzerainty, so he is very ingratiating to Azig and his party, always thinking that establishing good relations with the Qing Dynasty can enhance Russia’s status internationally, and can support the Qing Dynasty in exchange for Karl. The Merk Khanate and the Central Asian Khanate have a friendly attitude towards Russia, and they can even open a port with the Qing Dynasty to sell Russian fur to the wealthy Far Eastern Empire in exchange for silk, porcelain and other expensive luxury goods.

Azige waved his hand and was immersed in the gentle village, Fan Wencheng bowed his hands at Morozov without being humble or arrogant, and said: “Prime Minister, I am rich in the world, and I am the successor of the Mongolian Empire, so in the year of His Majesty the Emperor When I was young, the prince was the regent. This is also the tradition of our Mongolian Empire. I have heard King Daiqing Khan say many times that the Russian Empire has close contacts with his khanate, and is an allied country. We must be friends with your country, we are all from the bitter and cold land in the north, and we must unite to revive Great Mongolia and Great Rome, don’t you think?”

Fan Wencheng did a good job in his homework, Morozov laughed when he heard it, politely toasted him for a drink, and then said to the weak and obedient young tsar: “Your Majesty, the Qing Kingdom is our Great Russia’s best friend, I think In order to demonstrate our national strength, it is necessary to wage a war of justice and evil against Poland and Crimea, and let our dear friends from the Far East see our strength!”

Russia’s desire to attack Poland and Crimea has long been unable to hold back. The independent Cossack leadership of Poland has now fallen to Tsarist Russia, and the Turghut Khanate is the mortal enemy of Crimea. Russia Now that he has been recuperating for nearly ten years, he feels that it is time to start, so after all the ministers and princes agreed, Morozov brought it up with the strength of wine.

The second tsar of the Romanov dynasty, Alexei Mikhailovich, was exactly the same as his father. He did not show a strong attitude towards power. Instead, he relied on ministers and was willing to divide power. Russia’s political situation is also very stable.

Morozov’s words made Alexei very clear that this was the consensus of the ministers. In addition, Russia’s foreign operations were all made by serfs, so the young tsar didn’t have to bother, so he was very pleased to agree the Prime Minister’s application.

So, not long after the banquet ended, Russia continuously mobilized serfs to increase troops to the Cossack commanding country and to the border of the Crimean Khanate.

At the same time, in October 1647 ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Russia announced that it had established a good diplomatic alliance with the Qing Empire, the successor of the Mongol Empire in the Far East. In this alliance, the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire were equal. , and the rest also exist as the vassal states of the two empires, such as the Turghut Khanate, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Khiva Khanate.

After Russia announced this self-decorated credential, it also announced an order to support the Cossack leadership to become a common vassal state of Russia and the Qing Empire, and at the same time sent a large army on the grounds of supporting the Turghut Khanate in its crusade against the Crimean Khanate. .

An impending unilateral declaration of war on Poland and Crimea, dominated by Russia, the Cossack leadership and the Turghut Khanate, instantly became the headlines of various European countries, triggering a series of heated discussions.

The news was learned by Olaf on October 13.

At this time, Russia had just decided to announce it to the public, and Olaf had already found out the news through the Russian meticulous work cultivated by the Naturalization Department. He looked at the letter in his hand with a strange expression, and after reading it for a long time, he put down the paper and sighed: “Great! Qing! Russia has become a little fan of Qing…hehe…”

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
