Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 387 Let's Listen to Uncle Fu's Story! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"Vassili Vasilyevich, that oriental man with a sexy beard is the prince of the Mongolian Empire, right? He looks very handsome."

The person who raised this question was Sofia Alexeyevna Romanova, the "big" princess of the Raksha Kingdom, who was "spotting" Fuquan and the others with binoculars.She is a young, unmarried, strong-bodied Rakshasa princess.According to the practice on the European side, she should marry a prince of equal status to her.

European, or Mongolian!
Yes, Mongolian ones are also available!

Because the Raksha Kingdom is the third Rome that inherited the Second Rome, and several princesses from the Second Rome married to the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde.

In addition, many princesses of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the early years were also sent to the Golden Horde.

It can be seen that the Roman princess and Raksha princess married the Mongolian prince, which is the ancestral system.
Among the fiancés that Princess Sofia can choose, there is really no one who is more handsome than Fuquan.Because the European royal families in this era like to marry close relatives too much, so the top royal families such as the "Lao Ha" family in Germany and the "Lao Bo" family in France mostly raise crooked melons and bad dates. That's fine, it must be an illegitimate child who has no inheritance rights.

In fact, the Romanov dynasty is the same. Sofia and her two brothers are crooked, one is stupid, one is sick, and the other is too fat. But the old tsar Alexei later married the upstart Naryshkin family Miss, who gave birth to a relatively normal-looking prince like Peter I.

But even those crooked melons and bad dates, now it's not the turn of Sofia's "big" princess!

Regardless of the vast territory and "large population" of the Rakshasa Kingdom, in the circle of European civilization, the Rakshasa Kingdom is a semi-civilized barbarian. No European royal family is willing to marry a Rakshasa "big" princess or give their daughter Married to Prince Raksha. Unless you spend money to buy it!

Later, the Raksha Kingdom was reformed by Peter the Great, and the court became rich, so they bought many princesses from small states from Germany to marry. The famous Catherine II was the princess bought from Germany by the Russian Empress Elizabeth. .

But now Peter the Great is still a child, and the reform of Rakshasa is struggling. The Tsarist family has no money to buy a German prince for Sofia, so Sofia's marriage has always been a problem.

What's more difficult is that Sofia's elder brother Fyodor III had already given up. He sent Golitsin to the west to search again and again, but he couldn't find a prince who was willing to marry Sofia, so he didn't look for it at all.Now there is a white horse prince from the Great Eastern Mongolian Kingdom, and he looks pretty good!
The tsar's foreign minister, Golitsin, heard the princess's words and knew that the "big" sister was thinking about a man again. In fact, he was also anxious about this matter!Because the Tsar had already let go, if he really couldn't find it, he had to serve the "big" princess by himself!

But can a Mongolian prince meet the requirements of the Tsar?
Thinking of this, he whispered: "Unfortunately, this Mongolian prince is a pagan."

"Pagan" Princess Sofia was a little discouraged when she heard this.

The theocracy in Europe can compete with secular power. Even in the Raksha Kingdom, which inherited the Eastern Roman tradition and had higher royal power than theocracy, it is unlikely that Sofia would marry a pagan prince.

After all, when the Eastern Roman princess married the Mongolian prince, the Mongolian Nahai even opened the sub-base to the lower reaches of the Danube!
The current Great Mongolia will never reach this stage!

"No, no, he is not a heretic! Princess, you see that Mongolian prince is wearing the robes of a Catholic priest, which fully proves that he is a Catholic!"

Just when Princess Sofia was disappointed, someone among the senior Rakshasa officials who followed the princess suddenly pointed out the evidence that Fuquan was a Catholic.

The princess turned her head and saw that the person who was speaking was a young man with a big head and a short stature who seemed very knowledgeable.Sofia knew this person, and she was very familiar with him. He was her "big brother", Medvedev who was in charge of organizing the first institution of higher learning in the Raksha State—Sofia was also Polotsky's disciple!Don't look at her tall and thick, as if she doesn't know a lot of big characters, in fact, she is a top student, proficient in many foreign languages, and she is also a poetess. There is no doubt that she is the number one talented woman in Rakshasa today.

"That's right, he must be a Christian!" The princess nodded approvingly—it's better to be "big brother"!
The princess raised her face again, and looked at the senior officials of the Raksha Kingdom on the left and right: "Do you think this Mongolian prince is a Christian?"

"Yes, it must be!"

"must be!"

"Not only is he a Christian, but he will also become a devout Orthodox Christian!"

Everyone knows that the current Tsar is a sick man and has difficulty in having heirs. He is going to meet the Heavenly Father, leaving only a fool and a child in the Rakshasa Kingdom to inherit the throne.Neither a fool nor a child can take power. The only one who can be the regent is Princess Sofia.

So now no one wants to offend the alternate regent!
When Princess Sofia fell in love with Fu Quan at first sight, the "White Horse Lord" Fu, who was riding a white horse, had already arrived at the entrance of the village of Orekhovo.People fall in love at first sight, but he is shocked at first sight.

Of course, he was surprised by Princess Sofia. Among the people who greeted him outside the village of Orekhovo today, there was only one woman, and she was surrounded by a group of old men like a star. There was no doubt that it was Princess Sofia. !
But why does this princess look so "big"?

Although Fuquan likes "big", what he likes is that the place should be big, not the whole thing!
Moreover, this princess is not only big, but also looks very fierce, with a swollen face and fierce eyes, she looked as if she was about to bite someone, so scared that he quickly pulled the rein, and the white horse under his crotch barked loudly , and then there was an action of raising the front hoof and standing on the back hoof. Now the bearded Fuquan riding on the horse looks even more handsome.

Princess Sofia grinned, and said loudly in her newly learned Mongolian: "Answer Fuquanan, welcome to Moscow!"

Fuquan knew that he had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to get off his horse, and then gave a Rakshasa salute to Sofia, and said to Sofia in the Latin that he had learned again from Father Silva during the long journey: "Respect!" My Princess Sofia, thank you and His Majesty the Tsar for your protection, without you, I could not have escaped from the pursuit of the Mongolian Khan Court."

He speaks Latin very well!

It's amazing to say that Nan Huairen tried his best to teach Fuquan to speak Latin.But this time on the way to Moscow, he learned quickly, and when he arrived in Frankimer City, he was able to have a conversation with Father Silva in Latin—this foreign language was not difficult to learn at all!I couldn't learn it before, but I just didn't have the time to work hard.

Princess Sofia heard Fuquan speak fluent Latin, and her impression of the Mongolian prince became even better. She immediately switched to fluent Latin and asked Fuquan with a smile: "Prince, where did you learn it?" Latin? How well said!"

"Beijing," Fuquan said, "I first learned Latin from Jesuit missionary Ferdinand Vibister (Nan Huairen) in Beijing, and later I learned from Portuguese priest Silva from Macau."

"Beijing?" Princess Sofia asked, "If I remember correctly, it is the capital of the Qing Empire, right? What is the relationship between your Mongolian Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty? Not long ago, Acre was captured by the Spanish in America." What is the relationship between the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Great Mongols in Pulco Harbor?"

This question is a bit complicated, Fuquan smiled wryly: "Your Highness, your question cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and my Latin is not good enough to explain these questions clearly. Why don't we go to another place and take your time?" Say, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Sofia smiled, "I have a manor in the village of Orekhovo, you can rest there for a few days, and then go to Moscow to meet the tsar, and by the way, I have people from France, Holland, Austria, Ambassadors from Spain, Sweden, and Poland tell stories about Ming, Qing, and Mongolia."

"The Eastern world, I mean the East Asia and Northeast Asia that you Westerners talk about. There has been a drastic change in the past few years! The origin of this drastic change should be that we entered the Qing Dynasty and won the Ming Dynasty. Some people are not willing to perish Many Han scholars began to think hard about the route to restore the Ming Dynasty. Some of them attributed the cause of the demise of the Ming Dynasty to the absolute monarchy that had been implemented in China for 2000 years, and unearthed the ancient republic of the virtual monarch and the people's discussion of government. As a tool to restore the Ming Empire." In a brand new villa with a bit of Western European style, in Mongolian to Princess Sofia, Polotsky, Medvedev, Yazikov, Golitsin, and people from France , the Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Sweden, and Poland introduced the origin and progress of Ming Dynasty GM, and it was Mr. Fu Quanfu.

This scene is really a bit fantastic - a prince from the Qing Dynasty is actually talking about the revolution to a group of foreigners!
And those foreigners were dumbfounded!
If we don't pay attention, the Eastern world will become unrecognizable.I originally thought it was similar to the Ottomans, Persia, and India, but it turned out that it was an Eastern version of the Roman Republic, and it sounded more progressive than the Roman Republic. There was no slavery, and the granting of citizenship was more reasonable!

No wonder Daming crossed the Pacific Ocean to America to set up a branch base, and even occupied an island at the east mouth of the Strait of Malacca to establish a southward stronghold.

This is the Roman Republic, can you not like expansion?

The priest Silva who arrived at Rakshasa with Fuquan acted as an interpreter on the spot, translating Fuquan's Mongolian into Latin. the point.

"His Royal Highness," a French ambassador wearing a wig, high heels, and perfume, asked a question just as Silva had just finished translating Fu Quan's speech, "How many people in the Eastern World did you just use?" nation?"

Fuquan could understand his question directly, so he replied in Latin: "The Eastern world mainly includes Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Great Zhou Dynasty, Korea, Annan, Japan, Ryukyu, Golden Horde, Heshuote Khanate, etc. country."

He paused, then switched to Mongolian and continued: "Among them, the Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty are special compound countries."

"What is a compound country?" The French ambassador didn't quite understand.

"That's right. There are parts of Han civilization and grassland civilization." Fuquan thought about his choice of words, and said, "It can also be understood that a dynasty controls more than two countries, and the relationship between these two countries There are big differences, but through some arrangement, the two countries have been merged into one."

"Ah, the Alliance of Monarchs!"

"We can understand!"

"There are many countries like this in Europe."

Fuquan once again switched to Mongolian and said: "Among them, the emperor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom of Qing and the Great Khan of Mongolia are the ones who share the monarchy with the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty and the Great Mongolia are actually one country. Although the emperor of Zhou was not the Khan of Chagatai, Chagatai Khan became a vassal to Tian Khan, and Tian Khan was concurrently held by the Emperor of Da Zhou. In addition, the Chagatai Khanate was actually conquered by Da Zhou, so Da Zhou Zhou and the Chagatai Khanate are actually one.

In addition, the Great Qing-Great Mongols also owned the two vassals of Korea and the Golden Horde.The Great Zhou-Chagatai Khanate had the Heshuot Khanate as its vassal state.Daming owns two vassal states, Ryukyu and Annan.

As for Japan, it is still an independent country, does not surrender to anyone, and has no allies. "

It's really complicated!

But finally smoothed it out a bit.

"Prince, what is the state system of the Qing and Zhou?" The French ambassador asked again.

Now that France is holding high the banner of "I am the country", of course it is quite disgusted with Ming who is taking the road of the Chinese people's republic.But since the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal formed a team against Ming, shouldn't France form an alliance with Ming?
What a headache!

So Louis XIV gave his ambassador in Moscow an order to find out what those East Asian countries are doing?If you really don't know, invite the prince of Great Mongolia to France!

Louis XIV wanted to question him himself!
"The Qing Dynasty is a bit like the Holy Roman Empire!" Fuquan also inquired about the situation in Europe on the way here, so he found a European country that could compete with the Qing Dynasty very accurately.

"Holy Roman Empire?" asked the French ambassador, "Could it be that the Qing imperial family also expanded through marriage?"

"No, no." Fuquan shook his head, "What I mean is that the Qing Dynasty is now jointly ruled by the emperor and the feudal lords. The emperor probably controls about [-]% of the army and territory, and married Yang Qilong, the largest Han feudal vassal, in order to maintain control. The oppression of other princes in the country."

"It's really similar to the Holy Roman Empire." The French ambassador asked again, "What about the Great Zhou? Is the Great Zhou an absolute monarch?"

"No," Fuquan still shook his head, "The Great Zhou Dynasty was jointly ruled by the Wu family and the people of the country. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not hold power, but the prime minister Wu Yingqi who was in power. He was also the emperor's uncle and prince. But compared with Ming and Qing , the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most powerful."

When he said this, he sighed and said: "Our Qing Dynasty almost became like that. I used to be the Regent of the Qing Dynasty. It's a pity."

"Does the Great Zhou, Great Qing, and Great Ming have meetings like the Senate?" The French ambassador continued to inquire.

"No in the Great Zhou Dynasty," Fuquan replied, "but the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty can still write a letter to express their opinions. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a meeting of the people to discuss politics, and in the Qing Dynasty, there was a meeting of kings and ministers to discuss politics."

"Then what is the relationship between you Qing, Zhou, and Ming?" This time it was the Dutch ambassador's turn to ask.

"This." Fuquan pondered for a while, "It's more complicated, but generally speaking, there will be a battle of life and death in the future! The peace maintained between the three countries is just the preparation stage for the final war."

"Then who has the advantage now?" the Dutchman asked again.

"Da Ming!" Fuquan said affirmatively, "Although Daming's territory doesn't look that big, it occupies the most populated, fertile land, and the most prosperous industrial and commercial sites. The population and taxation of Daming are higher than those of Zhou, Zhou, There are more Qings added together, so Da Zhou and Da Qing will form an alliance to protect themselves."

Understood!
The Dutch ambassador said in his heart: The enemy of our enemy is our friend. The Netherlands is friends with the Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty!
The French ambassador was also thinking in his heart: the Dutch, Spaniards, and Portuguese will definitely form alliances with the Qing Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty.Then France only has one option, Alliance Ming!

And Sofia is also thinking: France will definitely ally with Ming Dynasty, and France has a strong influence on Poland and the Ottoman Empire. If Raksha can form an alliance with France, it will be very beneficial to stabilize Raksha's western border.Moreover, Ming is the enemy of Qing and Zhou, so Luo Sha should form an alliance with Ming!
