Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Ferdinand III and Innocent X even had the illusion that they could unify the world at a certain moment.

Of course, an illusion is an illusion, and the two bigwigs who have reached the top are not yet able to take the illusion as reality - both of them know very well in their hearts that even if the whole of Europe is unified, they will not have the strength to wrestle with Daming.

Poland, which was retreating under the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, would invite Tsarist Russia to enter Europe, which really shocked Ferdinand III and Innocent X.

Unlike Ming Dynasty, which only devoted its energy to Europe and Tsarist Russia in recent years, the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See, which were originally a family in Europe, knew nothing about Poland and Tsarist Russia.

In the eyes of Ferdinand III and Innocent X, Poland has never been a good bird, not before, not now, and certainly never will be.

In the past, the Poles made a farce like Ivan IV's crown prince Dimitri.

Dimitri, who has been confirmed dead for a long time, has appeared two times, and the second one has successfully ascended to the throne of the tsar, and then he is biased towards Poland in politics and other aspects. If there is no ghost here, I am afraid Neither will believe it.

Now, the Poles want to lure Tsarist Russia into the arena when they are fighting in Europe.

Tsarist Russia is definitely not a good thing, especially the current Tsar Alexei, this guy is definitely the kind of villain who is full of desire to conquer!

The tsar's palace was decorated with the most popular sculptures and fashionable murals in Europe. He also ordered the construction of a glass summer palace in the Spanish style. also ordered the use of

Plates, plates, knives, and forks were used to eat, and even Russia's earliest court theater, the Palace of Entertainment, was built.

In order to promote the development of the Russian economy, Alexei introduced a large number of technical talents from the West. Hundreds of European technicians and craftsmen went to Moscow for silver coins-one more craftsman and quality went to Moscow, and one less in Europe.

At the same time, Alexei continued to introduce advanced European production technology and encouraged European businessmen to invest and set up factories in Russia, which promoted the gradual formation of Russian handicraft factories and markets.

If they were only close to Europe in terms of life, politics, and economy, Ferdinand III and Innocent X would never have maintained such high vigilance against Alexei, and would have laughed from ear to ear.

The real reason why Ferdinand III and Innocent X were wary of Alexei was that Alexei never stopped fighting.

After obtaining silver coins in various ways and strengthening the national power of Tsarist Russia, Alexei directly sent troops to regain Smolensk, Chernigov, Seversk and other areas annexed by Poland.

After that, Alexei has been thinking about Ukraine and Poland-until Khmelnytsky formally made a request to Tsar Alexei, asking him to agree to make Zabarozhye the center of the East. Ukraine merged into Tsarist Russia.

If Ferdinand III and Innocent X knew that Tsarist Russia under the rule of Alexei had confronted the Ming Empire head-on, I’m afraid the two would not be able to help but worship Alexei—how did you do it? live up to now?

Of course, no matter how much Ferdinand III and Innocent X admired Alexei, they only admired his fearless spirit of daring to make a big death, but they actually didn't mean to learn from Alexei.

Especially when Ferdinand III and Innocent X stood on the deck of the "Pangu", this spirit of killing Alexei was even more admirable.

The left and right sergeants on the deck were all in their pouches, standing with spears and halberds in their hands. Looking at the two trembling men, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Is my sergeant quite majestic?"

Ferdinand III and Innocent X said: "The real bear and tiger!"

Emperor Chongzhen led the two men to the cannon cabin again, pointed to the many cannons and said, "Can my cannons be thick and long?"

Ferdinand III and Innocent X said: "It's really thick and long, I can't wait."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said: "I thought I was going to pass my age and inherit the great rule. At that time, there were slaves outside, and there were party disputes. There was no money in the treasury. There was a civil and military disagreement in the court. I never imagined that I would have today."

Ferdinand III said: "It is not an exaggeration to consider your Majesty's majesty and grandeur."

Chongzhen held the hands of Ferdinand III and Innocent X and said: "When a man lives in the world, he should take life and death lightly, and do it if he refuses to accept it. Today I want to use this to pacify the barbarians in England, even if Constantine and Caesar are resurrected So, how can you bear me?"

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen made a big pen, and Fei and Ying's faces were ashen.

Emperor Chongzhen brought the two of them back to the account, and met with the civil and military ministers to drink again, because he pointed to them and said: "I am a hero of the Ming Dynasty. Today's meeting can be called the 'Heroes' Meeting'."

The Great Governor of the Five Armies Commander’s Mansion, Zhang Zhiji, the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty, was very happy to see the Emperor Chongzhen, so he called the soldiers to sumo wrestling for fun, and made people dance swords, and wrote a song:

The husband is here to make meritorious service, and the meritorious service is to comfort his life.

I will be drunk when I comfort my life, and I will sing wildly when I am drunk.

After the song, all the audience laughed.

Innocent X and Ferdinand III couldn't understand the meaning, so they called for an interpreter and asked, "What is the meaning of the song?"

The interpreter hesitated for a moment, and replied: "It means that men should use knives to chop people up, drink after beheading people, and brag loudly if they drink too much."

Innocent X and Ferdinand III looked at each other and cheered, "What a hero!"

After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Chongzhen put down his wine glass, and said drunkenly, "England is at peace now, and I'm not far away from my return date, so I'm quite reluctant to come here."

Ferdinand III also put down his wine glass, and persuaded: "Why did your Majesty say that? Although the Ming Dynasty and Rome are thousands of miles apart, the sea route is convenient. The warships of the Ming Dynasty roamed across the sea, and the visits only took a few months.

After the third prince and his youngest daughter Avril get married, His Majesty can still visit Bavaria to see their children, which must be a good talk. "

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, but turned his attention to Innocent X: "I have discussed with the Pope before, and the Pope Xu will go to Daming to preach. I don't know what the Pope thinks?"

Innocent X bowed his head and pondered for a while, before finally raising his head and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it was originally the dream of all priests in Europe to be able to go to Daming to preach, and Innocent was no exception.

It's just that the European war situation is chaotic at the moment, and the Holy See is also involved in it, so I'm afraid they won't be able to spare time for a while. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, I won't make things difficult for others, the Pope can rest assured.

However, I still have one matter that I would like to discuss with the Pope. I wonder what the Pope wants? "

Before Innocent X could ask what was going on, Emperor Chongzhen went straight on: "In my Ming Dynasty, there were originally two religions, one was Taoism and the other was Buddhism.

Taoism has its ancestral home in Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi; Buddhism has its ancestral home in Zen Buddhism in Shaolin Temple in Henan; and now the Holy See also has its own ancestral home, which is the Vatican.

Taoism, Buddhism, and the Holy See all lead people to be good, and finally seek great detachment and freedom, which is really a rare act of kindness.

However, the Daoist Master of Longhu Mountain of Taoism and the abbot of the Buddhist Shaolin Temple are all canonized by my Ming Dynasty, and the Holy See of the Vatican should also be canonized by my Ming Dynasty? "

Before Innocent X could speak, Archbishop Barney Addison got up angrily, and said angrily, "My Holy See has been passed down for thousands of years, and the selection of popes has its own rules. Why do you need a canonization by Ming Dynasty?"

The face of Emperor Chongzhen did not change, and he was still smiling. Innocent X and Ferdinand III twisted their bodies uneasily, as if there were small bugs crawling on their backs, and they looked quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Zhiji winked at Zhang Shize, and Zhang Shize bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have learned some Western swordsmanship in the past few days, and I have learned some Western swordsmanship from my Great Ming swordsmanship. I invite you to dance the sword for His Majesty to watch."

Emperor Chongzhen played with the wine glass in his hand, and said meaningfully: "The so-called swordsmanship is nothing more than stabbing, chopping, teasing, hanging, pointing, wiping, supporting, racking, cutting, and sweeping. is alive.

As the so-called martial arts in the world, everything is invincible, only fast can not be broken, every move is to attack the enemy and must be defended, this is the world's first-class swordsmanship. "

Zhang Shize bowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your guidance, I have made a note of it."

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen hum, and ordered: "You can act out what you have learned."

Zhang Shize played the role of Xiang Zhuang, but Innocent X was not guarded by Xiang Bo. If Emperor Chongzhen hadn't hinted that Zhang Shize would kill Innocent X, I'm afraid that Innocent X would have died before Zhang Shize withdrew his sword. There are already two dead bodies.

Putting away the long sword in his hand, Zhang Shize bowed and said, "I'm not good at learning, but I surprised the Pope. I hope you will forgive me."

After Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand to signal Zhang Shize to step down, he said to Innocent X with a smile, "This boy Shize, has learned a few sword skills indiscriminately, and then imitated others to show off. It's really ridiculous."

Innocent X wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "The young duke has superb swordsmanship, and Innocent admires him deeply, but His Majesty is still too harsh on the young duke."

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "It's normal for my son-in-law to be more demanding. If I don't have any aggressive intentions, I won't like it."
