1825 My New Daming

Chapter 9 Amnesia military strategist, there is no strategy left! (Seek collection, ask for monthly pass, ask for recommendation, ask for follow-up reading)
August 12 afternoon.

Rakshasa Tsar Nicholas I sat on the throne in the Peter Hall where the portraits of Peter the Great and Catherine I hung, and beside him stood his brother Grand Duke Mikhail Pavrovich and his sister Natalie. Grand Duchess Pavrovna and her eldest son, Grand Duke Alexander Nikolaevich, General Paskevich, Commander of the Guards, and several other senior generals of the Raksha State with neat military uniforms.

The Tsar sat there with a serious face, watching the back of Staunton leaving the baron, frowning, without saying a word, seemed not very happy - because he had just seen the portrait of the old British crown prince, this portrait It is still placed against the wall, and I don’t know who put it there?To be honest, the Tsar was not very satisfied with the old crown prince's appearance.Just a fat, old man with white hair.Considering that painters usually paint big people prettier than themselves, this old fat man's appearance is really a bit sorry for Natalie Pavrovna.
What made the tsar even more dissatisfied was that the baron Stendon also told the tsar that although the British government opposed the atrocities committed by the Turkish Empire in Greece, it did not support the revival of the Byzantine Empire!

Although "not supporting" is not a very strong word, and it also means "acquiescence" and "non-interference", but the British ambassador always referred to the Eastern Roman Empire as the Byzantine Empire during the meeting, which made the tsar feel that he came from England. Mishima's contempt and warning.

The Raksha Kingdom inherits the legal system of the Second Rome (Eastern Rome), and as the Third Rome, it regards the recovery of Constantinople and the restoration of the glory of Rome as its destiny.However, after the fall of the Second Rome, those Western European barbarians used the name "Byzantine Empire" to refer to this thousand-year-old empire that they once looked up to.

And Thomas Staunton called the Second Rome the Byzantine Empire in front of the Tsar, probably not because of his personal position, but to imply the attitude of the British Empire towards the revival of Eastern Rome!

But the problem is that the Rakshasa Empire doesn't dare to tear itself apart from the British Empire now - although the Rakshasa Empire has the largest army in the world, its industry and navy are indeed inferior to Britain and Ming Dynasty.

The powerful army of the Raksha Empire basically couldn't reach Ming and Great Britain. Although the mainland of Da Ming bordered the Raksha Empire, the European part of Raksha was too far away from the border of Daming, and was separated by boundless Siberia.Moreover, both sides maintained a tacit agreement of "not approaching" and being "distant neighbors". Ming Dynasty did not develop the Mobei Mongolia, the Western Regions, and the Outer Xing'an Mountains on a large scale, while Luocha did not develop the eastern regions of East Siberia and West Siberia.

In this way, the two sides seem to be neighboring countries, but in fact neither can fight the other—unless one of them is particularly weak and only needs a small amount of troops to succeed, but at present, Daming and Rakshasa are not scumbags.

As for Great Britain, it is simply an island country, and it is especially good at supporting Napoleon, a thug on the European continent, who was defeated by the thugs supported by Great Britain. Nicholas I did not want to be Napoleon II.

Even if Rakshasa can rely on the local climate of ice and snow in winter, it will be contained by the British Empire in a world of ice and snow, and there will be no chance to go south to recover Constantinople.
So the countermeasure he can think of now is to keep swinging between Great Britain and Ming Dynasty, take advantage of both sides, and neither side will offend. But the position of the British Empire on the Turkey and Greek issues, and the Ming Empire lasted for more than 120 years since Queen Zhuge Wuzhong The "peaceful line" of the "peaceful line" made Nicholas I feel that his swaying policy was likely to be messed up!
"Wei Yuanda, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhuge Weidao, the military attache of the embassy of the Ming Dynasty, have an audience!"

Following the shouts of the attendants, Tsar Nicholas I finally came out of his thoughts, sat up straight on the throne, and looked straight ahead.I saw Wei Yuanda, who was wearing a Ming Dynasty civil official uniform and a black gauze hat, and Zhuge Weidao, who was wearing a military uniform and his head was still wrapped in gauze, walked in together, followed by Guo Xiaobao and Huang Shuren, and Guo Huang was still carrying Two briefcases.

Walking in front of the Tsar, the four envoys of the Ming Dynasty saluted the Tsar together. Among them, Zhuge Weidao, Huang Shuren, and Guo Xiaobao all raised their right hands in a military salute, while Wei Yuanda bowed and bowed.

According to the audience etiquette in the Rakshasa Palace, the four Ming envoys did not speak, but the Tsar spoke first: "I am honored to meet you here. For the sake of Taoism, are your injuries better? I listen to Xie Dongnuo. Dr. Husband says you've recovered some of your memories."

The Tsar's words suddenly stopped here, because he found that Zhuge Weidao was not listening, but turned his head to look somewhere to his right. Could it be that he was looking at Natalie?

Thinking of this, Nicholas I followed Zhuge Weidao's gaze, and what he saw was not his sister Natalie, but the portrait of the British Crown Prince who forgot to take away.

"Nikolai Pavlovich," Zhuge Weidao asked suddenly, "Who is that person in the painting? His face seems to be dying!"

"Why, what did you say? That...that is the portrait of the British crown prince York and the Duke of Albany." Nicholas I frowned and said, "York and the Duke of Albany are the future kings of England!"

Zhuge Weidao shook his head, "If he can't become the king of England, he's going to die soon. He probably won't live for more than two years."

"Is this true?" Nicholas I looked suspiciously at the "amnesia military adviser" Zhuge Weidao, who couldn't make up his mind for a while.

As an Orthodox tsar, he should not believe in fortune-telling.But... when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, Zhuge Weidao's father, Zhuge Youde, once led him to Petersburg to help defeat Napoleon. By the way, he gave Nicholas, his brothers, and Natalie, who was still a little loli at that time. Forget it.

Among them, the result calculated for Alexander I is that there are still more than ten years of destiny. Now it has been fulfilled!
Konstantin Pavlovich's fate is rich and glorious, but no destiny. The result has also come true!

Later, because the Grand Duke Constantine fell in love with a Polish nobleman whose identity did not match the tsar, his descendants would lose the right of inheritance, so he didn't want to be the tsar anymore.

The result of the calculation for Nicholas is that he has destiny for decades, but his martial luck is not good. When he uses his troops with caution, now that his destiny is already there, what about his martial luck?

The fortune-telling result for Mikhail is that he is rich and prosperous, and the Taiping Duke.This is also quite accurate, because Nicholas I's wife is very fertile. Now she has one son and three daughters. The possibility of Mikhail's accession to the throne is close to zero.

And the result of his fortune-telling for Natalie is that if you don't break your body before marriage, you can choose for the queen (king) of the two countries!
This is not the most amazing thing, the most amazing thing is that Zhuge Youde later entered Paris with Alexander I, and was defeated. Napoleon, who was desperate to go into exile, made a fortune and said that Napoleon would be the emperor again. As a result They really restored and continued the Hundred Days Dynasty!

The fortune-telling was so accurate, it was inevitable that Nicholas I would not believe it.

Moreover, it is not the first day that Rakshasa Kingdom and Ming Dynasty have dealt with each other. After the Baikal War more than 100 years ago, the two sides established embassies and formal diplomatic relations with each other. It was inquired by Luo Sha's embassy in Daming.And these news are not groundless, but well-founded.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about how many politicians, military strategists, scientists, inventors and big capitalists engaged in industrial and mining industries have been produced among the children of the Zhuge family who have been named military advisers in the past 100 years, especially those scientists, inventors, etc. How many things have been produced by capitalists, industrial and mining capitalists, one has to doubt whether this Zhuge family can really pinch and forget.Because people who are engaged in scientific research, invention and creation, industry, and prospecting everywhere, it is very important to find the right direction!If you are in the right direction, you will get twice the result with half the effort, but if you are in the wrong direction, your efforts will be in vain.And the military advisers of Zhuge's family seem to be very good at finding directions, and they can find one right.

According to incomplete statistics, at least two-thirds of the major inventions and scientific research achievements made by the Ming Empire in the past 100 years were contributed by the military advisors of the Zhuge family or the institutions they lead. The founder of the Zhuge family There are even more inventions and creations of King Zhuge Wuzhong himself, as well as various scientific theories, axioms, and conjectures he put forward. At that time, he was also known as the three major scientific giants of mankind together with Newton and Leibtzny, and he was also recognized as the third. The head of the Great Master.

This King Zhuge Wuzhong also clearly stated that the reason why he is powerful is because of his ancestral ability to pinch and count, that is, to predict the future!
Moreover, this ability is "inherited" by the Zhuge family, and people from other families can't learn it. Zhuge Weidao was a talent of the Zhuge family before "amnesia", maybe he also has the ability to predict the future?
"Nikolai Pavlovich," Zhuge Weidao saw that Nicholas I seemed to be intimidated, and hurriedly hit the railway, "If you marry Natalie Pavrovna to this dying old man, in the future you will You will definitely regret it. If you want to marry the Hanoverian dynasty, there is a better candidate."

"A better candidate? Who is it?" Nicholas I was a little confused. Among the Romanov family, only Natalie can marry, and among the Hanover family, only York and the Duke of Albany can marry.Who else but the two of them?
"He!" Zhuge Weidao raised his hand and pointed to Nicholas I's side.

Nicholas I looked in the direction of Zhuge Weidao's finger, and saw a blond boy in military uniform, who was his eldest son Alexander.

Nicholas I turned his head to look at Zhuge Weidao and asked, "He and who?"

Zhuge Weidao replied: "Of course it is with Alexandra Victoria, the third presumed heir to the British throne. If Prince Frederick dies, then she will be the second presumptive heir to the British throne. And the ranking is before Victoria. Although Prince William, the Duke of Clarence, has ten illegitimate children, he has no legitimate legitimate children. Therefore, once Duke Alexander marries Princess Victoria, he has a high probability of becoming the royal husband of the United Kingdom in the future. And according to According to British rules, the children born to him and Victoria will bear the Romanov surname."

Nicholas I took a breath, his heart pounding.If the plan proposed by Zhuge Weidao can really come true, then the Romanov Dynasty and the Raksha Empire will make a lot of money.All the difficulties we were facing were solved at once. As long as Alexander and Victoria got married and became the king and queen of England, the Rakshasa Empire would march into Constantinople again, and the British would not be able to stop them Bar?

If the British want to stop her again, isn't that just letting the queen beat the husband?
"But, Alexander Nikolaevich and Alexandra Victoria are still young." Nicholas I said, "And what the British want now is Natalie Pavrovna."

"Age is not a problem," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, Catherine the Great was only 13 years old when she was chosen as the crown prince's wife, and she was only 16 years old when she married Peter III. I I think it's worth the wait!
As for the British wanting Natalie Pavrovna. If I take her away, won't there be no Natalie Pavrovna to hand over to the British?At that time, you will push Duke Alexander to come out and get engaged to Victoria.If the British refused to accept it, then their attitude towards the Rakshasa Empire can be imagined.Facing such a UK, what's the use of sending Natalie Pavrovna? "

Nicholas I nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhuge Weidao with weird eyes: "Weidao, did you figure out that the British would definitely reject this marriage?"

"It was rejected in history," Zhuge Wei said, "but there is no Ming Dynasty in history!"

"Nikolai Pavlovich," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "with the Ming Empire, the British may not reject it, and the Ming Empire is not afraid of the alliance between the Raksha Empire and the British Empire!"

Nicholas I stared at the ambassador of Ming Dynasty, Wei Yuanda, who was also stunned: "Is what he said true?"
