"When the railways in the capital and Tianjin are completed, wouldn't it be much more convenient to go to Tianjin?"

"This is natural. Let alone going to Tianjin. If the railway heading south is completed, it will be fast from the capital to Jiangbei. If you can take the train south and arrive in Nanjing in the future, you can arrive in Nanjing in two days. If you can build a bridge on the Yangtze River in the future, it will be even faster." Zhu Yicheng said with a smile.

Li Juan'er had never seen a railway or even took a train, but had heard of this thing. When he heard Zhu Yicheng say this, he felt full of expectations, especially when Zhu Yicheng talked about building a bridge on the Yangtze River in the future, she was even more energetic in her eyes. You must know that there has never been any news about building a bridge on the Yangtze River since ancient times.

Thinking about the scene of a bridge flying across the Yangtze River, it is amazing. But Li Juan'er did not doubt that Zhu Yicheng's words were true or false, because in her eyes, Zhu Yicheng brought too many changes to the Ming Dynasty. Who could have thought that the world belonged to the Qing Dynasty more than ten years ago? And now the Qing Dynasty? It has long been like a dog that has lost its family. The Ming Dynasty has not only presents a prosperous scene, but also has many new things that were unimaginable before.

The conversation between Zhu Yicheng and Li Juan'er aroused the interest of several concubines next to her. They immediately interrupted and started chatting lively about the railway matter.

As for those princes and princesses, some were not very sensible because they were too young, and they just looked at their father and mother with big curious eyes.

As for those older children, they sat in the distance and talked about something they were interested in. Among them, the prince was the leader. As the eldest son, the prince has now established prestige among the royal children. Especially since he entered school, the prince's academic performance was gratifying, which made Zhu Yicheng feel even more at ease.

The family dinner has not been held for too long. After all, today is not a festival. Zhu Yicheng rarely takes some time and will continue to be busy with government affairs tomorrow. As for the children of the royal family, they also need to go to the Royal College to study. The daily courses are full, and there is a rare time to have leisure on weekdays.

That night, Zhu Yicheng stayed in the Queen's Palace and slept hard all night. On the next day, it was dawn. Zhu Yicheng got up to wash, then left after breakfast in the Queen's Palace, and continued to return to the side hall where he was the office to start another day of busyness.

Not long after he sat down in the side hall, before Zhu Yicheng could pick up the memorial placed on the table, Xiao Jiangzi came to report that he was the Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Rites and Minister of Foreign Affairs, He Xianzu asked for a visit.

Although He Xianzu's ranking in the Military Affairs Office was not the lowest, his presence was not strong. Moreover, he served as the Minister of Rites and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Although his position was respected, in fact, the Ministry of Rites is different from the Ministry of Rites in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs is established, He Xianzu's current part-time job is only temporary. After a suitable candidate is available, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Foreign Affairs will be divided and will no longer serve as part-time jobs.

"Xuan him entered the palace." Zhu Yicheng was a little curious about what He Xianzu was going to enter the palace to seek a meeting early, so he nodded and asked Xiao Jiangzi to bring the person.

Not long after, He Xianzu came to the side hall and met Zhu Yicheng.

"The Emperor, the person from the Rakshasa Kingdom."

"Come from the Rakshasa Kingdom?" Zhu Yicheng was stunned at first, and then he reacted.

Since the Rakshasa Kingdom sent envoys to the capital to contact the Ming Dynasty, proposed to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, and assisted the Ming Dynasty in destroying the "good intentions" of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolian tribes in the north. However, the Ming Dynasty did not recognize this matter, because the person who sent people to contact was not Tsar Peter, but the so-called Eastern Governor of the Rakshasa Kingdom, Duke Cherkasky.

Secondly, these so-called "good intentions" and behaviors of the Rakshasa people were a fact of occupying the land in the north of the desert, and at the same time, they took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty's war with the Qing Dynasty to continue to gain benefits.

Zhu Yicheng understood the purpose of the Rakshasa people after careful consideration. Moreover, since taking down Beijing, the Ming Dynasty had contact with the Rakshasa Kingdom. Since that time, Zhu Yicheng has been deeply alert to this northern neighbor.

If anyone in this world knows the Rakshasa Kingdom best, even Western countries are far inferior to Zhu Yicheng. The greed and barbaric nature of the Rakshasa Kingdom has been proven in history, and the expansion of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the Far East is also based on China's great losses.

However, after all, Rakshasa is a great country, and Zhu Yicheng did not want to directly refuse to the side in this situation, which led to the merger of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty and even Mongolia. Once this happens, the pacification of the northern land will be much more troublesome, which is something that Zhu Yicheng doesn't want to see

So in the end, Zhu Yicheng directly found a suitable reason, that is, on the grounds that the other party's subject did not conform to diplomatic practices, if the Rakshasa Kingdom wanted to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, it would be absolutely not enough to just have the possibility of reciprocal negotiations.

In the end, the matter was put on hold. Originally, Zhu Yicheng thought that the matter would be put on hold for two or three years. After all, the capital of Rakshasa Kingdom was too far from the capital. In addition, such a big event involving the two countries, Tsar Peter had to consider it well before making a decision. But who would have thought that it was only less than a year that the envoy of Rakshasa Kingdom who just left last year came back again. This was really surprising.

"Who is the person coming? Could it be that the envoy of Duke Cherkaski was named Ivan?" Zhu Yicheng asked.

He Xianzu shook his head and said, "Go back to the emperor, the person who came here is Paul. He is an earl from the Rakshasa Kingdom, and is said to be a relative of the Tsar."

"Peter's relative?" Zhu Yicheng thought about it carefully. In history, there were two queens in Peter the Great. He had no idea that the name of the previous one had been long ago. He only knew that after being a queen for a few years, he was exiled to the monastery by Peter. It was not until his grandson Peter II succeeded to the throne that he was taken back.

As for the second queen, she was very famous. This queen was born in a humble background and was said to have worked as a dishwasher and laundry woman. She was still an illiterate person. She had married before, but later she became Peter's queen by chance. After Peter's death, the queen became the queen again. This is the famous Catherine I in history.

According to time calculations, Catherine I is now Peter's queen. If the Earl Paul who came was Peter's relative, he would probably be Catherine I's brother or cousin.

According to historical records, Caterina I had five siblings, and she was taken to Marinburg by her aunt since she was a child. She grew up in her aunt's house. Her aunt had a son, who was about the same age and had a close relationship with her since she was a child, and she almost became a couple. Could it be that this person was Paul who came this time?

Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Yicheng felt secretly amused. Even historians from later generations did not understand the messy things in the Rakshasa court, let alone an outsider who only knows a little about it?

However, this time, Tsar Peter specially sent his brother-in-law or brother-in-law to the Ming Dynasty, which was enough to show great sincerity.

What's more, He Xianzu also told Zhu Yicheng that the Earl of Paul also brought a letter from the Rakshasa Kingdom and a handwritten letter from Tsar Peter.

The letter of the country was naturally with Count Paul's side, and this must be submitted in a formal occasion. As for Tsar Peter's handwritten letter, He Xianzu had already brought it, and the translation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last night had been completed and submitted immediately.

Opening the letter rewritten in Chinese characters, in the content of the letter, Tsar Peter first greeted the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in an enthusiastic tone, and at the same time wrote about the history of the two countries in a long time, especially pointing out that the Ming Dynasty was invaded by the Qing Dynasty and barbaric victory over civilization, resulting in the destruction of the country. Now the new Ming Dynasty has resurrected under the leadership of Zhu Yicheng, thus defeating the cruel and unkind Qing people and recreating a powerful and great Ming Dynasty.

Like the Ming Dynasty, the Rakshasa Kingdom also experienced this kind of suffering. Hundreds of years ago, the Rakshasa people were conquered by foreign Mongols and suffered humiliation. Later, under the leadership of its ancestor, Grand Duke Moscow, the barbaric Mongols were overthrown, thus allowing the Rakshasa people to gain a new life.

Over the past few hundred years, the people of the Rakshasa Kingdom have fought indomitable battles with foreign enemies for survival and dignity, and finally become a powerful country.

In this regard, both sides had similar experiences, both sides had similar experiences. From this, we can see that the Ming and the Rakshasa Kingdom had common friends before, were natural friends and trustworthy friends.

Before, when the Rakshasa Kingdom was developing the Far East, it had a war with the Qing Dynasty. This was also the small effort made by the brave Rakshasa people to overthrow the tyranny of the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Rakshasa Kingdom was insufficient at that time and was eventually outnumbered and suffered failure.

After Peter inherited the throne of Tsar and finally obtained power, although he felt unfair about the experience of the people in the Far East, as the Tsar of the Rakshasa Kingdom, he had to fight for his motherland first, and then he could have the ability to help his friends in the East after solving his domestic problems.

Now, what makes Peter happy is that the Ming Dynasty in the East has finally been revived. This is the victory of justice, the victory of civilization, and the will and arrangements of God. Just as he led the Rakshasa people to revive the Rakshasa Kingdom, he won powerful opponents on the battlefield, thus making the country prosperous.

Finally, Peter changed his subject and mentioned that since the two countries have their own roots and have the same experiences, and the two countries are now tyrants, then as two powerful countries in this world, they should not only work together to maintain the world order, but also have normal diplomatic, business, culture and even military relations.

As the Tsars of the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they should be as close as brothers, so that this friendship can continue forever.

Finally, Peter also specifically mentioned that due to his achievements and contributions to the country, he had decided to rename the country a few months ago, from the previous name to the Russian Empire, so this was his private letter to the emperor of another great country as the Tsar of the Russian Empire, and at the same time he showed deep regret and apologies for not being able to come to meet in person.
