Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 432 Fuquan, you become evil as soon as you gain strength! (Please vote for me, please subscribe)

"Slave Guanyin Bao respectfully wishes His Majesty to be safe!"

"Guanyin Bao! We finally meet again. Get up, get up, let me take a good look at you!"

"Master, I'm fine. Don't worry about me yet. You'd better take a look at the money I brought you!"

"Capital? How much is it?"

"There are so many! Come and see with me!"

In a fortress built of logs called Ijumu Castle, a scene of kindness and loyalty to the king and his subjects was being performed at this time.Wearing a robe and a coat, and wearing a high-grade Guanyin Bao, he finally met Prince Foquansky, who thought of his good master day and night, and whose clothes had turned into a Rakshasa.

Although Fuquan had become Fuquansky, Guanyin Bao still followed the etiquette and gave him a thousand salutes and called him "Prince" and "Master", which moved Fuquan to death.Ever since he was captured by Kangxi and imprisoned on Yingtai Island, no one has called him that.

And there was another good thing that moved Fuquan even more. Guanyin Bao came with money for him!

In the past two years, his main focus in the Rakshasa Kingdom was that the soft rice king increased his deception, eating Sofia's soft rice, and then helped Sofia and the sick Tsar Feodor III defraud 100 from Louis XIV. With the aid of ten thousand livres and a group of French officers. Relying on these French officers, one million livres of military expenses and military aid, and in the name of Fuquan, Princess Sofia created a "Princess Guards" with a number of tens of thousands. Army", which was much more impressive than the two new battalions of the new army that the Little Tsar Peter the Great would have when he started his career in the future.

The two battalions of new troops held back 2000 people, and Sofia now took action with 10000 people!
Moreover, these 10000 people were trained step by step by the French military advisers sent by Louis XIV. They were not comparable to the troops trained by Peter the Great with a few German military vagabonds.

With this new army, Princess Sofia's thick waist is really hard. She is now ready to take over the power as the regent princess after the death of Tsar Feodor III, so she has no time to come to Izyum. She has to Sitting in Moscow, guarding the dying Tsar.

Although Sofia was confident, Fuquansky, who had failed before, still felt guilty.

10000 troops are too few. Half of them are left to control Moscow, and only 5000 troops are left to dispatch. What can one brigade do?Nothing can be done!

And Sofia can't just stay in Moscow and do nothing all her life, right?If she doesn't do anything to establish some prestige, when Peter's child grows up, he will take back more power sooner or later. What will Fuquan and Sofia do then?Where else can you run?
Of course, it doesn’t matter if Sofia doesn’t serve as the regent princess!

Because Fuquan had long seen that Sofia's appointment as regent was not only her own idea, but also the intention of the ailing Tsar. Feodor III did not want his power to be lost to his relatives, the Naryshkin family (the mother of Peter the Great) after his death. He believed in his biological sister Sofia and his biological grandfather Miloslavsky more than his stepmother and grandfather.

Moreover, the sick tsar also hoped that he would initiate it. It is said (the tsar and Sofia said) that the great reforms that are related to the rise and fall of the Rakshasa country will not be interrupted because of the Naryshkin family's rule. After all, the reforms will definitely affect the Rakshasa state. It is certain that the interests of the old nobles are not popular.And Queen Mother Naryshkina was a conservative who believed deeply in Orthodoxy and adhered to the old Rakshasa tradition.

If Queen Mother Naryshkina, a conservative, is allowed to govern, reforms will definitely be interrupted.

The Queen Mother's biological son Peter was taken to the church by Queen Mother Naryshkina every day. It is said that he was very good at reciting scriptures at a young age. Not only could he recite scriptures, but he could also memorize them. He also understood the stories in the Bible and could tell them one by one. set.

At first glance, he looked like a conservative who believed deeply in Orthodoxy. When the Patriarch of the Rakshasa Orthodox Church met him, he said yes!
When such a small conservative and orthodox fanatic takes over the government, there will be no hope of reform or anything like that.

Therefore, in the Tsar's view, if his fat girl is not the regent princess, the reform will inevitably fail. If the reform fails, the bear will continue to be poor and weak, and it will definitely be over in the future!
In order to save Rakshasa, Fat Princess Sofia must become regent!

But Fu Quantai, who had been a regent, knew that it was not easy to be a regent, let alone a princess regent.If he had not been the regent, he would not have been dragged by various forces step by step to the point where he and Xuan Ye became mortal enemies. Maybe they could still be brothers and sisters for the rest of their lives!
If Sofia, the regent princess, wants to die a happy death, Fuquan thinks there are only two ways. One is to firmly hold power for the rest of her life. It is best to get rid of Peter, who is mentally sound, and help Ivan, who is not mentally sound, to ascend the throne of the tsar. In the future, even She can become the queen herself; the second is to use the opportunity of serving as regent to carve out a territory of her own and establish a principality or kingdom. When Peter grows up, Sofia will return the power to Peter and return to her own principality or kingdom to live a stable life. day.

Both of these methods require strength!
If you want to hold power throughout your life, you must make achievements and gain prestige!How is it possible without strength?What can a brigade of 5000 men accomplish?
To carve out a territory of your own, you must have strength. Who can beat someone without strength?

And with this strength, relying solely on the support of Louis XIV is definitely not enough.

Whether Fuquan can get back his deposit from Yang Qilong is the key!
And this matter is also related to Fuquan's status in the family in the future. If Yang Qilong refuses to pay back the money, then he will have nothing but soft food to eat, and he will have to guard the tigress every day, and he will have to do everything possible to make her happy. It's really " Accompanying a rope is like accompanying a tiger!" Ah!

But if Yang Qilong returns the 1000 million taels of silver to him, then he will be able to feel proud and proud in the future.
And the good news that Silva brought him two months ago made him overjoyed!
Yang Qilong not only gave money, but Li Zhongshan and Zheng Jing also exchanged the money for porcelain, silk, sugar, tea and spices. The 1000 million silver shipped from China to Europe was still 1000 million, and it was impossible to increase in value.And if a shipment worth 1000 million yuan goes to Europe, it starts at 5000 million yuan!

Even if all the profits were eaten by Louis XIV, then Louis XIV also owed Fuquan a huge favor. The Sun King's debt of favor must always be repaid!
What made Fuquan even more overjoyed was that Silva also told him that Yang Qilong and Li Zhongshan also helped him hire 3000 "Qing soldiers" from Japan. A serious dwarf flag of the Qing Dynasty!
This is real strength!
With 3000 Qing soldiers in hand, Fu Quan dares to think about finding a mistress. He must find someone with a similar figure to Yang Xiaomi!
While thinking about his mistress, Fu Quan followed Guanyin Bao outside the small Ijumu Fort. When he walked outside the fort, he suddenly heard an unknown number of people shouting in unison: "I'm waiting to greet you, Your Majesty!"

Fuquan looked up and saw that a warrior wearing a blue coat, a red tasseled warm hat, and a black braid on the back of his head that Fuquan was so familiar with was already kneeling neatly on the open land in front of him. Six rows.Each half-kneeling braided soldier was holding a flintlock gun with a bayonet on it. When illuminated by the sun, it sparkled!

Really powerful!

Fuquan took a sharp breath and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Well done, everyone, please stand up and go back to Moscow with me!"

"Whoo!"

3000 "Little Man Clearing Soldiers" shouted in unison again, then stood up together, then straightened up their chests, shouldered their flintlock guns, and walked swaggering towards the gate of Yijumu City.

Although he is a little short, he is indeed very energetic!

At this time, Guanyin Bao, who was beside Fuquan, pointed to the row of four-wheeled carriages behind the group of dwarf soldiers, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, most of those carriages contain boxes of livres. It's enough There are 1000 million! This is just the first batch, and there may be five or six horses later. After deducting the 100 million livres loan Louis XIV gave you before, you can receive at least 5000 million livres this time."

"Another 5000 million? Then the total is 6000 million?" Fuquan's voice trembled when he spoke, "Brother Yang is really righteous!"

Guanyinbao laughed and said, "There's more!"

"There are more?" Fuquan looked at Guanyin Bao with surprise on his face, "How many more are there?"

At this time, Guanyin Bao took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Fuquan with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the account book Yang Sange asked me to bring to you. You have deposited a total of 1034 million taels of silver with him, and there is an interest of 183 More than ten thousand taels.

In addition, Brother Yang Sange also took over all your shares in Ruixintang for a price of 200 million taels.All this money was paid to Emperor Yang and Yang Fujin. "

"I still have more than 200 million with Brother Yang? This is more than 1000 million livres!" Fuquan was so moved that he almost cried. He never thought that he was so powerful.

Guanyin Bao said: "Your Majesty, Brother Yang Sange suggests turning the more than 200 million you have in Ruixin Hall into merchant ships, silk, porcelain and other goods, and sending them to Arkhangelsk via the Northern Sea Route. Do you think this is possible? ?”

The Northern Sea Route mentioned by Guanyin Bao is actually the summer waterway in the Arctic Ocean. This waterway has not yet been completely opened, but it has been partially opened.The reason why the Rakshasa Kingdom can encroach on Eastern Siberia and build the Yakutsk Fortress on the Lena River is because of the existence of the Arctic Ocean summer channel.This is also the biggest advantage of the Rakshasa people in Siberia - although the Arctic Ocean is only navigable in summer, and the navigation capacity of several large rivers in Siberia is limited, it still has a huge advantage over land transportation.

Regardless of whether it is the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, or the Great Mongolia, as long as there is no way to use the summer shipping lanes of the Arctic Ocean for transportation, they will suffer in the struggle with the Rakshasa people for Eastern Siberia.

Fuquansky has not thought about the significance of monopolizing the Arctic Ocean summer shipping lanes to the Rakshasa Kingdom. All he can think of now is the huge benefits that the Arctic Ocean summer shipping lanes may bring.So Fuquan nodded and said with a smile: "When Sofia becomes the regent princess of Rakshasa Kingdom, this matter will be a piece of cake."

Guanyin Bao was stunned: "Your Majesty, your new Fujin will be the regent of Rakshasa?"

Fuquan looked around, then took Guanyin Bao towards the carriages carrying money. While pretending to count the money, he said to Guanyin Bao in Manchurian: "That is what the tsar meant. He is dying. His half-brother He is a fool, and he is not willing to let his half-brother take power, so he wants Sophie Adam to be the regent.

I wasn't very sure at first, but now that I have these tens of millions of livres, I am quite sure."

He said confidently: "With this money, I can expand the Rakshasa Braid Army to 30000 people! I can also open banks, trading companies, mines, arsenals, and schools. Then, haha."

"Master, do you still want to fight back to the east?"

Hearing Guanyin Bao's question, Fuquan pondered for a moment and then asked: "Guanyin Bao, if you tell me the truth, can I still go back?"

"It's difficult!" Guanyin Bao's answer was only one word.

Fuquan sighed: "I think it's quite difficult too! 30000 people are a lot in Rakshasa, but both Kangxi and Wu Yingqi can pull out an army of 30."

He was defeated by Kangxi once, and now he really has no confidence!
Moreover, defeating Kangxi does not mean victory, he still has to deal with Li Zhongshan!
Thinking of this, he asked again: "The Three Kingdoms in the east are about to fight?"

Guanyinbao nodded: "The major events in the world must be reunited after being divided for a long time, and they must be divided after a long time of separation. From what I see, the time has come for the Chinese world to be reunited after being divided for a long time."

Fuquan lamented: "The past 40 years for our country, our country, and the mountains and rivers of ten thousand miles... have truly been a dream and glory!"

Guanyinbao understood Fuquan's complicated thoughts and comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, this time Kangxi colluded with eleven countries including the Netherlands, Spain, England, and Germany, and the Ming Dynasty only had four countries at most."

"Which four?"

"The Ming Dynasty, Rakshasa, France and the American Empire in the New World." Guanyinbao said, "Eleven against four...the advantage is not with the Ming Dynasty. Besides, the American empire has just opened, and Rakshasa may not be able to help. The only person who can truly stand with the Ming Dynasty is the Sun King Louis XIV."

"Why can't Rakshasa help?" Fuquan asked, "Is it because of me?"

"That's not true." Guanyinbao said, "This time the slave was borrowed from the Ottoman Empire and then passed through Ukraine before arriving in Izyum. He also made friends with Anda, the Khan of the Crimean Khanate.

From this Khan, the slave learned that the Ottoman Empire would soon attack the Holy Roman Empire... The Sultan was preparing to use the entire army, and the number of troops sent was likely to exceed 20!This is a gamble that will cost the country! "

"What does that have to do with Rakshasa?" Fuquan asked.

"My lord," Guanyinbao said, "if you don't want to fight back to the east, but want to make achievements in the west... isn't the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire the best opportunity?"

"This..." Fu Quan's eyes lit up, "Yes! The Rakshasa people have always thought that they are descendants of some Eastern Roman Empire and want to regain Constantinople. If Sophia and I are allowed to do this, we will spend the rest of our lives together. You won’t have to worry anymore.”

"Your Majesty, you are wise." Guanyin Bao said, "I have seen the so-called heavenly guards of the Ottoman Empire in Constantinople."

"How?" Fuquan asked.

"It won't work anymore," Guanyin Bao said. "The upper class is rotten, the middle class only knows how to make money, and the lower class is just a group of small traders... They have long lost their courage. I don't think they can defeat the army of European Christians."

"Oh, isn't that just like the Shooting Army?" Fuquan smiled, "The Shooting Army is the elite soldiers of Rakshasa, and they are no longer as brave as they used to be. It seems that no matter whose soldiers, once they are contaminated with the spirit of Shangjing Yamen , we can no longer fight."

"My lord, Shengming!"

Fuquan waved his hand and said: "What is holy and not holy? If I were a true saint, I wouldn't come here. Let's go back to Moscow first and discuss it with Sofia. If she thinks this can be done, then let's try to do it. "

"Whoo!"

It was already 5000 when Fuquan and Guanyinbao returned to Moscow with 3000 Rakshasa "Zhengxiong Banners" and 1000 Qing "Little Dwarf Banners" and a huge sum of 1681 million livres. It's winter, and Moscow has been covered in heavy snow, turning it all silvery white.

Because the Tsar was seriously ill, the atmosphere in Moscow was quite tense, even a bit tense.The Moscow ministers and nobles are now divided into two factions, both of which are preparing to introduce their own people to become the new tsar after the tsar dies.

One group supported the young Peter, mainly some relatively conservative ministers, and the patriarch of the Orthodox Church was also a supporter of Peter. At this time, they did not realize that this man could be tall, handsome, smart enough to memorize the Bible, and he could also be vivid and lively. Peter, who tells Bible stories truthfully, will grow up to become a devil of radical reform!

There is another group that supports Ivan the fool. In fact, they want Ivan the fool to be a puppet and Ivan's sister Princess Sofia to be the regent.

This group of people are mainly reformists, including Sofia and Feodor III’s teacher Simeon Polotsky (who also taught Peter), their elder brother Medvedev, Foreign Minister Golitsin, etc. .

However, these reformists, even the seemingly barbaric and rude Sofia, are actually moderate reformists. Once the conservatives in the Rakshasa Kingdom taste the power of Peter the Great, they will know how mild Sofia's temper is.

Of course, they don't know that now.

Because this princess has recently had some objections to the Rakshasa version of the "Nine-grade Zhongzheng System" and wants to abolish it and replace it with examinations to select talents, so she is a thorn in the conservative side and a thorn in the flesh!
"What? Do you really want to abolish the family system that allocates official positions according to the rank of the nobles?" The tsar, who was lying on the bed dying, was shocked when he heard the visiting girl express her idea of ​​abolishing the family system and conducting "imperial examinations". I didn’t even dare to go see Heavenly Father for the time being, and I felt much more energetic.

"Sofia, do you know what you are doing?" The Tsar sat up in shock and stared at his sister.

"That's right," Sofia nodded and said resolutely, "Your Majesty, if you don't abolish the practice of assigning official positions based on family status, there will be no hope for Rakshasa. Those people can't do anything and are not competent officials at all."

The Tsar shook his head: "I also know that they are incompetent, but have you ever thought about it, if I am gone, will you have the strength to implement this reform?"

"Yes!" Sofia nodded with a very sure tone, "Fokonsky has returned from Izyum, bringing back a full 1000 million livres and 3000 Qing soldiers loyal to him!"
