After all, he is the king of a country. Tsar Alexei is naturally much more magnanimous than Na Xiaojin. He did not threaten Dong Xuan and Li Shouzhi loudly. Instead, he had a warm face and a gentle voice, "Two envoys are coming from afar."
It’s hard work, sit down and rest.”
Regarding the etiquette of meeting the Tsar, we had already discussed it before entering the palace and bowed. To the Tsar, bowing was a common etiquette in Europe and was not offensive; but to Dong and Li, it was a huge profit.
After all, even if they did not treat the tsar as an emperor and treated him with the courtesy of a vassal king, in the Ming Dynasty, officials had to kneel when they met the vassal king. Nowadays, there is no need to kneel down, just bow, and naturally you will make a lot of money. p>
The two thought they had earned face for the Ming Dynasty in front of the barbarians, their faces were red and their waists were straight. Little did they know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were used to kneeling before the powerful, while European officials only needed to bow.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Dong Xuan and Li Shouzhi bowed and sat down.
"It's not 'Your Highness', it's 'Your Majesty'. His Majesty the Tsar is as great an emperor as the emperor of your Ming Dynasty. Please pay attention to your wording, envoy", the Tsar's teacher Morozov angrily accused. This
He was a famous politician in Tsarist Russia and a knowledgeable scholar.
Dong Xuan stood up and retorted, "The Tsar is the king of Russia, not the king of the Ming Dynasty. There are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. As officials of the Ming Dynasty, we can only call the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty 'Your Majesty'."
"Okay, no need to argue. You two have come all the way to see me. What's going on?" Tsar Alexei spoke displeasedly.
"Your Highness, on the orders of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, we have come to read the edict to you and return the letter you wrote to you," Dong Xuan said with his head held high.
"A letter from me? What letter?"
"The letter you wrote to Emperor Shunzhi of the Puppet Qing Dynasty".
The guard presented the letter to the Tsar. Tsar Alexei opened it and saw that it was a letter of protest and surrender that he had written to Bogda Khan (the Qing Emperor of the Qing Dynasty) sixteen years ago.
"'The Tsar is great and majestic and possesses all the kingdoms. The king (tsar) is invincible in his battles', 'Bogda Khan and his subjects should always be the slaves of the Tsar', "Our king does not know the situation in your country... Today
The order to send troops is not for fighting. 'Because there are many countries serving the king and paying tribute to the king, Erbokeda and his people should also present gold, silver, gems and flowers and silk to the king'??".
He opened the letter, and the complacency with which he had threatened Bogda Khan (the Qing Emperor of the Qing Dynasty) was still in front of him. In this letter, he warned Bogda Khan that the Tsar was great and majestic, the monarch and lord of many countries, and had always been invincible.
Khabarov was sent to China this time not for war, but to persuade China to submit to the Russian Czar and become his servant forever, serve him and pay tribute to him. If he agrees, the Chinese residents can keep the town. If they don't obey,
, Khabarov can use force to kill all Chinese men, women, old and young.
He was so high-spirited at that time that he even thought out the details: if China is willing to submit to the Tsar, the Emperor of China must lead the Chinese people and swear an oath of submission in accordance with their religious beliefs. He also stipulates the tribute that China must pay to the Tsar, such as
Mink skins, black fox skins, red fox skins, otter skins, beaver skins, etc., as well as valuables such as gold, silver, damask and gemstones; if you do not submit, you can adopt an undeclared war or a surprise attack.
Destroy the Chinese military and civilians.
But now, with the loss of Nerchinsk, Lake Baikal, Yakutsk and other areas, Tsarist Russia's rule in Siberia is crumbling. This letter has become a joke.
What did the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty mean when he returned this letter to me? Tsar Alexei pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, no! He wanted to humiliate me just like I humiliated Bokda Khan!
Sure enough, as if to verify his guess, Dong Xuan said loudly: "This envoy has also brought the Ming Emperor's edict to His Highness. Please place the incense table and kneel down to receive the edict."
"How dare you dare to humiliate His Majesty the Great Tsar!" Morozov, Miloslavsky, Kister, Nashkin and other important Russian officials all drew out their Russian scimitars and glared angrily. They only waited for the Tsar's order.
, then chopped these two evil Ming people into pieces.
After all, Tsar Alexei was used to seeing big winds and waves. He snorted coldly, "I am not a subject of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to set up an incense table. As for kneeling down to receive orders, it is even more ridiculous. If you have anything to say, just stand.
Let’s talk about it”.
As soon as the words fell, the Tsarist Russian guards immediately took away the chairs from under Dong Xuan and Li Shouzhi's buttocks.
Li Shouzhi smiled at Dong Xuan and unfolded the edict written by Emperor Guangwu to Tsar Alexei as if nothing had happened, while Dong Xuan read it loudly in a mellow tone.
??
The emperor’s decree to King Alexei of Oros:
I respectfully acknowledge
Destiny, king of all nations, not only the Central Plains, all the nine states and seas, wherever the sun and moon shine, are all my land. Alexey, the king of Oros, separatist the land in the west, thinking that he has a strong army, arrogantly claiming greatness, and proclaiming his army in
To the east, in order to succeed, he restored the book to the pseudo-Qing slave chief, saying that a mere six thousand soldiers would be able to hunt on the banks of the Heilongjiang River. His words are too wild and arrogant, and he is arrogant, like a frog at the bottom of a well, looking up at the sky in the mirror, only to increase his laughter!<
/p>
I pretended to be a slave chief of the Qing Dynasty, but I was not originally a Zhengshuo of China. I tried to control civilization with barbarism, but I destroyed it. It was actually the way of heaven. God's way is good, and China must be rejuvenated. If people's hearts are willing to help, even though every man will take revenge.
I can tolerate provoking slave chieftains, but invading my vassal and slaughtering my people is unbearable! So I was outraged and sent the king's army to save him. It is not my intention to use Zhang to kill. It is not allowed to undermine the king of China.
Don’t save the Chinese people!
When the emperor is angry, the stars will be moved, the mountains and rivers will change color, thousands of cities will be destroyed, and the oars will be drifting with blood. You ask yourself whether you can do it? The army is going to conquer, and I want to leave no one behind. However, God has the virtue of good life, and I also have a compassionate heart.
.The war continues and everything is destroyed. Why do your people deserve to be tortured like this?
My pity for you has been passed down for a long time, but it is not easy. I can no longer bear the mutual hostility between the two places, which harms the harmony of heaven and earth. You should feel my heart and withdraw your troops to the west of the Ural Mountains. I will be honored by the emperor's favor and be your vassal forever. You can practice virtue and enjoy your life. In the remaining years, I have given birth to my young son, and this is the eternal plan. If you are stubborn and can't use your mantis as a chariot, you can trample through the Ural Mountains and play games. What's the difficulty?
Dong Xuan, a doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette, was appointed as the chief envoy, and Li Shouzhi, a foreign minister in the Court of Concierge, was appointed as the deputy envoy. With a strict edict, Alexei was granted the title of King of Oros, with a gold seal and a crown. All persons below the king also I have been bestowed with various official positions and paid small favors. Since I, Taizu Gao Emperor, have granted seals to all nations, no one has ever been granted such a title as far away from your country. It is truly an unprecedented grand ceremony! After being granted the title, you will abide by your duties and be loyal to the heaven. If you are born, Repeatedly, I will definitely punish you.
Heaven has learned from Kong Yan that Wang Zhang is outstanding and Qinzai, hence the edict.
