Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 388 Fuquan, we must have a plan to fight back to the Qing Dynasty! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"My dear Majesty, do you now understand the drastic changes that have taken place in the Eastern world in recent decades and the intricate relationships between countries in the Eastern world? They only had a small country a few decades ago. circle, and now the territory they own can be called a world! And we Rakshasa, to a certain extent, are also participants in this world. Although we are mainly a European country, we are currently using the advanced technology of Western Europe. Reforms based on the country. But we cannot ignore the East, let alone give up the vast territory of the East and become a pure European country. This is impossible, and all Rakshasa people will not agree. And we Nor can we afford to lose the Siberian Khanate!
Therefore, we cannot ignore the drastic changes that have taken place in the Eastern world, and we cannot continue to use the previous Eastern policy."

In the Polygonal Palace of the Kremlin, Rakshasa Tsar Fyodor III just felt a little dizzy after listening to his sister Princess Sofia's introduction to the situation in the Eastern world!
It's so complicated!Compared with Europe, which is in chaos, it is not much more concessions.

What shocked Feodor III even more was that the scope of this Eastern world had expanded greatly in the past period of time.It is no longer a matter of East and Northeast Asia, but has expanded westward to near the border of Europe, eastward across the Pacific, and southward to Java Island and the Strait of Malacca, the core territory of the Dutch East India Company. This area encompasses most of the Eurasian continent.

For Rakshasa, this is not the most troublesome situation. The most troublesome situation is the one in the east. The Great Mongol Kingdom or the Great Mongol Alliance actually cares about the territory of the Siberian Khanate!

It has been decades since the Siberian Khanate was destroyed by Rakshasa. When the Romanov dynasty was founded, the Siberian Khanate was on the Rakshasa map that I got!

In addition, after conquering the Siberian Khanate, the Rakshasa Kingdom continued to expand eastward and took over the boss' territory!
If the Siberian Khanate was taken back by Mongolia, it would definitely be difficult to maintain the territory to the east of the Siberian Khanate.By then, the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom will be reduced by more than half. How can you let the Romanov dynasty mess around?There is no way to live!

"What about their military strength?" asked the Tsar anxiously. "Is it possible for them to take Chengji-Tula?"

The Tsar was most worried about the military strength of the Great Mongol Alliance.

In his impression, the military strength of the Junggars and Kazakhs is not weak, especially the Junggars, who are a group of Mongolians who have learned to "rubbing" muskets.In the past battles between the Rakshasa Kingdom's armies and them, they did not gain much advantage.However, when the Junggars and Kazakhs faced the Great Mongolian Alliance, one surrendered and the other perished, which was called a clean victory.Feodor III asked himself that if he asked the Rakshasa Kingdom to take action on his own, he might not be able to do so simply, right?

He originally thought that the Great Khan of Great Mongolia might be a direct descendant of some golden family. He relied on blood and legal authority to subdue the Junggars, and then joined forces with the Junggars to destroy the Kazakhs.

Unexpectedly, the so-called Mongolian Khan was actually the Qing Emperor, not a golden family at all. He was able to subjugate the Junggars and bulldoze the Kazakhs not because of his bloodline or legal authority, but because of his strength.

What surprised the Tsar even more was that this seemingly powerful Mongol Khan was only one of the enemies he would face!There was also a Tian Khan who was almost as powerful as the Mongol Khan. He also took hold of the "Central Asian orthodox" Chagatai Khanate and rushed into Central Asia with the Mongol Khan!
Now I don’t know if the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate can handle it?If they cannot withstand it, Central Asia will really fall into the hands of the Orientals.By then the Siberian Khanate will be in danger!

"Your Majesty the Tsar," Yazhikov took over the Tsar's question and replied, "I saw very powerful musketeers and heavy cavalry in Tashkent. Among them, there were a lot of musketeers, and there were them in the Tashkent camp alone. Tens of thousands! I even saw a cannon that could be mounted on the back of a camel and fired."

"Tens of thousands of musketeers?" the Tsar gasped. "How much will this cost?"

"Not sure. Their horses are all Mongolian horses, which should be quite cheap. But they all have chainmail and a kind of cotton armor reinforced with iron sheets. In addition to matchlocks, they are also equipped with long guns and sabers. , bows and arrows and other weapons. Although a bit outdated, it is obvious that they are all very good warriors!"

The Tsar looked gloomy: "It is indeed outdated. Compared with our new army on paper, it is indeed outdated!"

Kangxi felt that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he didn't know much about the details of the current Rakshasa Kingdom - because this Rakshasa Kingdom had a small number of but brave and ferocious Cossacks, it abused wild Mongolians and wild Jurchens in Siberia. He did appear to be invincible at that time, so he gave Kangxi the illusion that Rakshasa had strong soldiers, horses, and sharp firearms.

But in fact, the main force of the Rakshasa Army, the Tsarist Shooting Army, had only more than 1678 people around 5. The muskets they equipped were also matchlocks, and they were mainly infantry, with only a small part of the cavalry.

In addition, these shooting troops have too little military pay to cover their expenses, so they have to work part-time as vendors and handicraftsmen in order to scrape together the living expenses for the whole family.

As for the use of a new army equipped with flintlock guns that can be mounted with bayonets, it is still on paper. In the original history, it would not appear until Peter the Great came into power, and at the beginning, only Preobra was in charge. European-style army of two regiments, the Ski Corps and the Semyonovsky Corps.

After calculating the strength of both sides in his heart, the Tsar secretly prayed to Heavenly Father in his heart - he must protect the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate!Although they believe in Tianfang religion, Western Christians need them to support the followers of Eastern Changshengtian and Tathagata Buddha.

He had just finished praying when a Kremlin attendant hurried in and handed a letter to the tsar's chief minister, Miloslavsky.Miloslavsky took the envelope and looked at it, frowning, "Your Majesty the Tsar, this is sent by the ambassador to the Ottomans!"

The Tsar's face turned pale again, "Quick, take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Miloslavsky quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, unfolded it, and began to read it. After just reading for a while, his expression changed drastically.

"What happened?" asked the Tsar. "Did the Turks break our alliance?"

"No, it's not," Miloslavsky said in a low tone, as if announcing a funeral, "it's about the news that the Persian-Khiva-Bukhara coalition was annihilated by Kangxi Khan's army in the city of Khujand in Central Asia. Your Majesty the Tsar." , the Khiva Khanate and the Bukhara Khanate are over, and Persia may also be conquered by the Mongols. Suleiman I of the Safavid Dynasty had no choice but to ask for help from his old enemy the Ottoman Empire!"

There was a sound of cold air in the Doreng Palace, and the tsar's ministers all turned pale.The Tsar's own heart sank, thinking: Has the Almighty Heavenly Father abandoned me and the Rakshasa Kingdom?

There was a dead silence in the Duoling Palace, and everyone felt that a disaster was coming. They didn’t know how long it had been silent before they heard Princess Sofia’s firm and calm voice: “Your Majesty, ministers of the Rakshasa Kingdom, this matter has not happened. What is so surprising? The Eastern world has undergone drastic changes in the past few decades, and the Qing Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were both products of this drastic change. They had the same Senate and citizens as the glorious Roman Republic and the Roman Empire!
They also learned to produce powerful firearms through trade with Europeans. Years of war tempered their army, and perhaps also cultivated an officer corps with high military literacy.How could Persia, Khiva, and Bukhara resist such a country and such an army?Even if the whole army is wiped out, it is normal!

And the Mongol invasion has now turned into the overall rise of the Eastern world!So this is no longer a problem for our Rakshasa country, but a problem for the whole of Europe.This has advantages and disadvantages for us Rakshasa, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

In the past, to the civilized and advanced countries in Western and Central Europe, we were just barbarians on the prairie of Eastern Europe. We were hardly considered Europeans.Now, all European powers must face up to the rising Eastern world, and we, Rakshasa, are Europe's barrier against the Eastern world.As long as their countries look at history and understand the Mongolian Western Expedition, they will know our value! "

What Sofia said, blood suddenly appeared on the Tsar's pale face. He nodded and said: "Sofia Alexeyevna, you are such an amazing princess. Your analysis is right. Now we Rakshasa have It is a value that Western European powers must pay attention to!"

Sofia was encouraged by the Tsar, and then made a suggestion: "Your Majesty the Tsar, we should ask Prince Da Qingyu to write a detailed report on the military, political, economic and internal diplomatic situations of the Eastern world, and then translate it into Latin The article, copied a few more copies, sent them to several European powers, appealed to them, asked them to pay attention to the drastic changes that had taken place in the Eastern world. As long as Louis XIV, William III, Charles II, Leopold I and Juan Jose is interested in the contents of this report, and we will have the opportunity to benefit from both the West and the East!"

"Profits from the East?" asked the Tsar. "What benefits can we gain from the East?"

Sofia said: "Maybe we can try to support Prince Yu to seize the throne of the Qing Empire! He once served as the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and he still has some supporters in the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the Ming Empire is an enemy of the Qing Dynasty. Maybe we can fund Prince Yu's campaign to seize the throne. Maybe we can also use this as a bargaining chip to form an alliance with the wealthy Ming Empire, and even get a Ming-France-Rakshasa-Ottoman alliance!"

The Tsar's eyes shone brightly, there was a great Ming-France-Rakshasa-Ottoman alliance!
A country like Rakshasa could form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, France, and the Ottoman Empire, which would make you laugh out of your dreams!
He said to Sofia: "Sofia Alexeyevna has left it to you to ask Prince Da Qingyu to write a report. You must let him write it well and highlight the importance of the Rakshasa Kingdom in blocking the westward advance of Mongolia. !
Also, are you asking him if he has any plans to fight back to Beijing and seize power? ""have! Sofia nodded confidently, "He must have such a plan!" "

"What? Fight back to the Qing Dynasty and regain the throne?"

"Prince, do you have such an idea? If so, I can do my best to help you achieve this goal!"

In a luxurious official residence in Moscow, Prince Yu Fuquan had an unprecedented liking for the woman in front of him, who looked like a bitch and a bear.

"His Royal Highness, is this possible?"

Fuquan asked in his Latin, which was not yet fluent.

"It's possible!" Princess Sofia turned her head and glanced at Father Silva, who was acting as a translator. "Father, can I trust you [-]%?"

"Of course!" Father Silva said, "I am Prince Yu's Latin teacher!"

Sofia turned to look at Fuquan, who nodded.

Sofia then lowered her voice and said: "Prince, we must have a plan to fight back to the Qing Dynasty. Whether this plan can be realized or not is not important. What is important is that we must have such a plan!"

She spoke slowly so that Fuquan, who was fluent in Latin, could understand her.

Fuquan pondered for a while and asked: "Princess, do you mean that if I have a plan, someone will come to help me?"

"Yes!" Sofia nodded, grinning and said, "Prince, as long as we have a plan, there will be countries that oppose the Great Mongol Alliance to provide all kinds of help. Maybe mercenaries, maybe Big funding!”

"A country that opposes the Great Mongol Alliance?" Fuquan thought for a moment and asked, "Who else could it be besides Rakshasa and Ming Dynasty?"

"What is certain now is that there will also be the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Kingdom of Persia."

"France? Poland?" Fuquan was a little confused, "But why do they oppose Mongolia? Are they still worried that Mongolia will invade their territory?"

"They won't worry about it," Princess Sofia said, "but the international politics in Europe are interlocking. Some countries, such as Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, have serious conflicts with the Qing's enemy Ming. They will choose to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty. The enemy of Spain and the Netherlands, France, will stand on the opposite side of Spain and the Netherlands because they are hostile to Spain and the Netherlands, and choose to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Because Poland was once invaded by Mongolia, He is also a loyal follower of France, so he will also choose to form an anti-Mongolian alliance with France, the Ming Dynasty, our Rakshasa and the Ottomans."

"Isn't it easy to cause a chain of fires?" Fuquan said an allusion that was difficult to explain in Latin, and then added, "Oh, it's because of the conflict between the two countries in the two major alliances. Triggering a full-scale war between the two major alliances, thereby involving all countries in the war."

"Yes, these are the rules of the game for European international struggles!" Sofia said, "One alliance after another involves almost all European countries. A war between two countries, or even a civil war within a country, will It could easily turn into an international melee!
Now, Ming, Qing, and Zhou must also join this battle among nations, because the westward expansion of the Mongolian Alliance and the eastward expansion and southward expansion of Ming Dynasty have inevitably brought these three countries into conflict with the European world .

If the three countries don't want to be isolated by the whole world, they have no choice but to join this extremely dangerous alliance game! "

Of course Sofia has no idea how many terrible disasters this dangerous alliance game has caused in later history, and how much it almost destroyed mankind. It’s hard to say whether it will really destroy mankind!
But one thing Sofia is right about is that the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty must join this dangerous international political game, because if they don’t join, they may be isolated by everyone. Even if the Ming Dynasty does not want to join, the Great Qing Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty may also If you join, the party that joins the gang will definitely have an advantage.

"It makes sense!" Fuquan nodded, his eyes already shining, "If I can get the support of the Ming Dynasty, I can indeed come up with a plan to return to the Qing Dynasty! In fact, the general Li Li who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty and I The relationship between Zhongshan and Zhongshan is very good, and we are still relatives! In addition, I still have a large amount of money deposited in the bank run by Yang Qilong, the supervisor of North Korea. If Li Zhongshan can support me, I can withdraw this huge sum of money and then I can use this Use the money to recruit mercenaries!”

"Do you still have money in North Korea?" Princess Sofia asked, "How much is it?"

"There are about 1000 million taels of silver!" Fuquan said.

"How much is that?" Princess Sofia looked back at Father Silva.

Father Silva thought for a moment and said, "It's equivalent to about 70 pounds of silver!"

"70 pounds of silver?" Sofia was shocked, "Oh my god, you are so rich!"

Theoretically, 1 pound of silver is equal to 1 pound. However, these days, the British silver coins have begun to be in short supply, and the shortage is getting worse year by year. So far, there is almost a third shortage.There are about eight taels of silver left in one pound, and Fuquan's savings are equivalent to 125 million pounds. It's just a lot more!

In 1660, the British Parliament approved the annual permanent income of Charles II's government to be 120 million pounds. This amount was at least 5 pounds less than Fuquan's savings.Therefore, Charles II's government also ran deficits year after year and could not make ends meet.

So Fuquan's wealth has exceeded Princess Sofia's imagination. This Qing prince is so rich!

"Great!" Sofia said excitedly, "Prince, with this money, we can fight back to the Qing Dynasty together!"

"We?" Fuquan felt that he might not have a good command of Latin yet, "Princess, you mean us."

Princess Sofia looked affectionately at Fuquan, who was "worth 70 pounds of silver", blushed, nodded and said, "My prince, of course we are referring to you and me, don't you understand what I mean?"
