Chapter 575
The capital of Rakshasa, Moscow, the Kremlin.

The young Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov sat in a daze in the magnificent palace.

For the war between the Far East of the Raksha Kingdom and the Ming Empire, the Gentry Conference had been held for three full days, but the opinions of the Duma and the Patriarch were at odds, and the two sides refused to give in at all.

The Raksha Kingdom Council of Gentlemen and Gentlemen is composed of lords and nobles, serving nobles, senior monks and senior government officials, and is responsible for discussing and resolving various major issues related to the survival of the country in the Raksha Kingdom.

Every time the gentry meeting is held, it is costly and troublesome to organize. It was originally held once when Alexei ascended the throne last year, and it is said that the interval is less than a year.

But the battle reports from the Far East really shocked the Rakshasa Kingdom. The country's territory is being lost at a rapid rate, and the country's soldiers are being slaughtered. This is not the same as the war in the west of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Daming's army was so fierce that it defeated Marquis Morozov's 2-odd army in just one battle.

If Morozov's defeat still had the possibility of the Ming Empire's fluke victory, then after half a month, the news that the Norton Legion's [-] troops were completely annihilated almost stomped the faces of the nobles to the ground and rubbed them desperately.

There was a slap, slap, slap, slap in the face.

This can only show that the army of the Raksha Kingdom is no match for the Ming Empire at all, and according to the latest information, the army of the Ming Empire is still raging in the eastern part of the Raksha Kingdom.

Tens of thousands of Rakshasa nationals died tragically, and it was hard to persuade the people who moved eastward to flee to Moscow within half a month.

The Ming Empire was like a rebellious monster, rushing east and west on the land of the Raksha Kingdom, invincible. As the second tsar of the Raksha Kingdom, Alexei was in a terrible mood.

"Your Majesty, the Earl of Preston asks to see you." Pierre, the attendant, came in from outside the palace and played.

"Quick pass!" Alexei woke up from his trance.

Preston is the minister of the Raksha Kingdom, his teacher, and his most powerful helper. When he first ascended the throne as the tsar and panicked, it was his teacher who helped him stabilize the situation in various places.

After a while, an old man with gray hair and wearing a purple gold robe walked into the hall. This person frowned as if he was worried about something.

"Preston greets His Majesty."

"Teacher, please hurry up. How is the meeting going? Has an agreement been reached?" The battle was urgent and there was not so much time, so Alexei got straight to the point.

"Return to Your Majesty, Patriarch Nikon still refuses to agree to peace talks." Preston sighed.

The struggle between the religious power and the imperial power has reached an irreconcilable point. The monks and common people represented by Patriarch Alexei Oberonevich Nikon firmly disagree with the Ming Empire.

He claimed that the Ming army had desecrated the believers of the Raksha Kingdom, and that God had condemned him for the crime. Alexei should transfer back to the Western Front Army to go to the Far East, and teach this group of Daming troops who did not know the heights of heaven and earth.

The Duma, which is dominated by nobles, mostly supported Preston and Tsar Alexei. The nobles were more pragmatic. The Far East was remote and bitterly cold, and only a few months of the year could be cultivated.

If it weren't for the mouth of the Tatar Sea, the easternmost part of the Far East, they would definitely not send their precious troops to the Far East.

The territory of the Raksha Kingdom is vast, but the population is really too small, only more than 700 million people. The population base means that the Raksha Kingdom cannot support a larger army.

"Teacher, I plan to personally participate in this meeting. Do you think it is feasible?" Although Alexei was the tsar, he had never been in power because of his young age.

"This..." Preston hesitated. Alexei was only 17 years old and had always been reticent. How could he be the opponent of the Patriarch Nikon.

"The surname of Luo Chaguo is Romanov, Teacher Preston." The young Alexei looked at his teacher and spoke firmly.

……

"Patriarch Nikon, the war with the Ming Empire is harmful and not beneficial, how can you be so obsessed!" Marquis Victor, Minister of Military Affairs, blushed with anger.

"Your Excellency Victor, you are also a member of the Orthodox Church, please pay attention to your wording." Nikon, with a gray beard and a pale gold embroidered robe, said to Victor gloomyly.

"Hmph—" Victor snorted coldly to express his disdain for Nikon.

Before Victor could refute, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the Senate House.

"It's Your Majesty, your Majesty is here." A little nobleman shouted.

At this time, the Raksha Kingdom had just become independent from the Golden Horde for less than a hundred years, and it hadn't completely eliminated certain characteristics of the nomadic people, and it didn't have as many rituals as the Ming Empire.

In addition, the church has a huge influence in the country, and the tsar only has the support of some nobles.

"Dear Patriarch Nikon, don't you know the current situation in Rakshasa?" Alexei was a little nervous when he saw so many people in the Senate.

Just for his father's last wish, for the glory of the Romanov family, and for the millions of subjects of the Raksha Kingdom, he must stand up bravely and resolve the war in the Far East as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, under God's instruction, the Raksha Kingdom will definitely be able to defeat the brutal army of the Ming Empire." Nikon stood up and said with a bow neither humble nor overbearing.

"There is a powerful enemy in the north, Sweden, which occupies a large area of ​​land north of the Pskov-Novgorod line and along the Baltic Sea coast, and firmly controls the trade routes leading to Europe.

To the west is the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania, occupying a series of important towns headed by Smolensk, always threatening Moscow, the capital of our Raksha country. "Although Alexei is not in charge, he knows all about the enemies around the Raksha Kingdom.

Especially Poland, this powerful kingdom is a feud with Rakshasa, just like China and Japan in later generations.

But the fighting nation has always disliked coming to the void. In the past 300 years, Poland has been divided up three times directly.

"The southwest is Ukraine, which belongs to Poland, and the Cossack cavalry on the Ukrainian steppe is also a serious threat to Moscow.

To the south is the Crimean Khanate, a Turkish vassal state that has invaded our Rakshasa Kingdom countless times in the past few centuries.

Dear Patriarch Nikon, do you think it would be a good thing for the millions of people in the Raksha Kingdom to provoke another powerful Ming Empire in the east? "

Alexei cited Rakshasa's internal and external troubles as an example. He had never been so impassioned. Patriarch Nikon remained silent, but several bishops spoke out to refute.

"Your Excellencies, do you know the population of Daming?" Alexei became a little impatient. He hated these church bishops who made things difficult for the government.
