Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 953
The Kremlin sits on the Borovets Hill at the confluence of the Negrina and Moskva Rivers.

It borders the Moscow River in the south, Alexandrov Garden in the northwest, and Red Square in the southeast, forming a scalene triangle.

Originally built of oak logs and limestone, it was decorated with intricate carvings.

Each roof was built into a special round arch, which became the center of the Moscow principality.

Now the Kremlin is a symbol of Tsarist Russia and has become one of the largest architectural complexes in the world.

In the palace, Tsar Alexei and his ministers are urgently discussing how to deal with Ming's revenge invasion.

Alexei looked at several of his right-hand assistants and said:
"Ryazan has been destroyed, and the imperial army suffered heavy casualties. The Ming Dynasty is too much of a threat to us. We must quickly find a way to deal with them. If you have any good suggestions, let us know."

Tsarist Russian Minister of Internal Affairs Kuchizov said:

"The Ming army dared to attack, and our imperial army used cannons to drive them back. Isn't there a saying in China that calls for soldiers to cover up water and earth?"

He is mainly responsible for the internal management of Tsarist Russia, and he doesn't know much about the situation around Tsarist Russia.

As the Field Marshal of Tsarist Russia, Kutuzov was of course more aware of the situation in Tsarist Russia, he shook his head even more and said:

"It's not as simple as you said. The firearms of the Ming army are very advanced. Ryazan has 20 defenders, and they won it overnight. There are countries watching us from all sides of the empire. As long as we fight If the battle is defeated, those hungry wolves will immediately take advantage of the fire to carve up the empire's land.

Now there is no army near Moscow, and this battle is absolutely unbeatable. I suggest negotiating with the Ming army, and we can cede some unimportant land to them, so that
The Ming army withdrew from the territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Of course, this negotiation and cession of land will not be effective forever. After the Ming Dynasty withdraws, we concentrate our forces to clean up the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and then declare war on the Ottoman Empire.

Once the kingdom of Poland and Lithuania was taken, the imperial army was killing the Ming army to regain the ceded land.I wonder what His Majesty thinks? "

Kutuzov's words made the ministers of the Tsarist Russian Empire present couldn't help applauding. They didn't feel ashamed of breaking their promises and others, but they all thought it was a good plan.

Tsar Alexei also nodded frequently, and he also thought the Field Marshal's suggestion was very good.

"Very well, just follow the earl's suggestion. Now we need to choose an envoy to go to the camp to negotiate. Who do you think is suitable?"

Kutuzov said:

"Your Majesty, the envoys who went to negotiate this time must be able to represent the imperial family in order to appear sincere. If ordinary people go there, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty may not believe our sincerity."

"This... let Fedor, Crown Prince Romanov go."

Tsar Alexei hesitated, and finally decided to let his son make a trip for the sake of the empire.

Fedor, the lucky crown prince of the Romanov dynasty.

He was originally the third son of the tsar. Fortunately, his two elder brothers died young, so he was made the crown prince. Most of his other dozen brothers died young.

Fedor was not much better either. He had been sickly since he was a child, suffered from scurvy, and was weak in constitution.

Sometimes he was seriously ill and was bedridden, and he often stayed on the bed for half a year, so Tsar Alexei reluctantly sent him as an envoy to express the sincerity of the imperial peace talks.

After Alexei finished speaking, he looked at several important imperial ministers and said:

"In addition, order the armies around the world to start recruiting recruits tomorrow. Men aged 14 to 50 must serve the country as long as they are in good health. Anyone who escapes to avoid military service can be regarded as treason..."

The Minister of the Interior said hastily:

"Your Majesty, the empire has conscripted soldiers many times. Now our country is not young and strong, and most of the people left are women. If we conscript again, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of the country..."

Alexei smiled coldly:
"The people of the empire should have thought more about the coming of war for the country. For the safety of the empire, it's time for them to express their patriotism."

It can be said that for the sake of national security, Alexei has disregarded the life and death of the people, and still wants to recruit soldiers to defend the country.

Early in the morning, Fedor and other Russian missions braved the wind and sand to enter the camp of the Ming army.

Facing the vast sea of ​​Ming army camps and the strong and mighty Ming army soldiers, several Russian officials all looked dignified, worried about Russia's future.

In front of the imperial camp, the dragon flag was flying, and Fedor slowly raised his head, facing the giant dragon with its fangs and claws, his face turned pale instantly, and he couldn't stand upright.

Thinking that he was the crown prince of the empire, representing the tsar, he pushed away the hand of the attendant, straightened the rocker, and strode into the tent door.

In the imperial camp, the successor of the next tsar bowed to Zhu Youjian and shouted:

"Meet the respected emperor of Ming Dynasty"

Then, Fedor made a brief self-introduction in order to prove the sincerity of the empire.

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, and could hardly believe his eyes.

This guy didn't kowtow to me to confess his guilt, but just bowed?
Li Dingguo pointed at the foreign prince in front of him and shouted loudly:
"Irreverent thing, kneel down and talk!"

Fedor, who was only 15 years old, was startled by the big brother in front of him, and his breathing became short of breath.

Instead of kneeling down, he straightened the rocker and said:
"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of your country has abolished the ritual of kneeling and worshiping when his subjects met in court. Why is he kneeling again now?"

Zhu Youjian smiled faintly:
"You are not a subject of my Daming, let alone a relative of mine. You are just a bastard, even worse than my servant. You must kowtow when you see me!"

"His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Fedor was taken aback and almost spurted blood. He was the crown prince of the Tsarist Russian Empire, but he was treated as a bitch by the other party!

Seeing that the kid was still not convinced, Zhu Cihong said loudly:
"My royal father is the ruler of the East. He occupies half of the world, and will be the ruler of the entire world in the future! You must lie face down to show respect to my royal father!"

Fedor's face was ugly, obviously unwilling:

"I am the Great Prince of Tsarist Russia, the future Tsar, and I only kowtow to the icon when I pray!"

Zhu Cihong sneered:
"Barbarians, except for my Ming people, all the barbarians in the world have to kowtow to my father!"

"Too deceiving!"

The Deputy Envoy of the Tsarist Russian Mission gritted his teeth, as if he had forgotten the tsarist's explanation before leaving.

Zhu Cihong:
"I forgot to tell you that all the races that dared to fight against us have been turned into ashes! Do you want to try?"

Fedor's face changed drastically, and he was obviously discouraged. He remembered the business, bowed and said:

"I have heard about the great emperor, since you are so rich and powerful, why do you look at our barren land and send troops to attack us?"

General Zhungeer, who had just arrived in Ryazan, said flatteringly:

"There is only one sun in the sky, and only one master on the earth, and this is the Emperor Ming! All people must submit to His Majesty!"
