George Churchill's performance is actually not very superb. At best, it is the level of a traffic star in later generations. Not to mention Oscars, I'm afraid I can't even get the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.

But what makes George Churchill smart is that everything he says is real, and any person who knows something about Europe can prove it.

As for the private goods he mixed in, it was only his personal opinion and did not hinder the whole. Besides, George Churchill did not devalue Tsar Peter, but instead admired him. This is very normal. With Tsar Peter's talent and strategy and the rise of the Russian Empire at his hands, even the enemy had to admit that this was a great monarch, let alone as a British and British diplomat who did not engage in actual war with Russia.

Furthermore, even if George Churchill hates Tsar Peter and says something bad about him, it doesn't matter. People have different opinions and opinions, and their evaluation of a character will naturally be different. This is human nature.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Zhu Yicheng called George Churchill a "smart person" after reading the memorial sent by the Public Affairs Office and learning about what happened at the banquet that just ended.

Although George Churchill did this seem to be an unintentional move, and it did not undermine the negotiations between the Ming and Russia, after his publicity, it may take a few days for Russia to become well-known in Europe.

There is an old saying among Chinese people, so-called lying beside the bed, how can others snore? George Churchill boasts about Russia as powerful as he and Tsar Peter is the more he praises the world. With the Chinese character, he will naturally be prepared for the powerful Russian Empire.

In fact, it is not only Chinese, but also Western countries. In this way, George Churchill cleverly laid a thorn in the hearts of many people. This thorn may not be eye-catching at first, but at a specific time, it will play a decisive role.

Zhu Yicheng smiled and threw the thing aside, feeling completely relieved.

In fact, everything George Churchill did was under the control of Zhu Yicheng. Even if George Churchill did not do this, Zhu Yicheng would use his own way to achieve such a result.

Now, without having to take action on his own, George Churchill did it. Isn’t this better? After all, a foreign minister, who uses this method to remind everyone, will have a better effect.

Zhu Yicheng's heart was very complicated about the Russian Empire, but as a king, all his decisions had clear political purposes.

Negotiating with the Russian Empire and establishing normal diplomatic relations was due to political demands. The secret borrowing of George Churchill's remarks made the imperial court alert to the Russian Empire, which was also due to political demands.

There is a saying that there is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests.

Looking at history, the country of brothers and fathers and sons are nothing more than deceiving the world. The Ming Dynasty needs to become a thousand-year empire, and expansion is inevitable, and the current expansion of the Ming Dynasty overseas also proves this.

Although the Ming Dynasty missed the most glorious period of the Age of Discovery, it at least seized the tail of the changes in this era. With the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yicheng's decisive move, the Xinming has now become the most important territory overseas for the Ming Dynasty, of course, Luzon, Johor and even North Korea that has just been taken down.

The world's division has reached its final stage, and the Ming Dynasty's move can be said to be able to divide the last piece of fat. In another hundred years... no! Maybe in a few decades, when the division is completed, what will happen next will be obvious.

Did the two world wars in history, even the wars in Asia that began in 1840 before the world war, prove this ironic example?

Today’s friends may be tomorrow’s enemies, and today’s enemies can also be tomorrow’s friends.

The changes in the world pattern after World War I and World War II also proved this. Zhu Yicheng knew it very well, but he was clear, but he could not guarantee that others would think the same way.

Although the current Ming Dynasty is booming, there are many people with naive foreign politics, whether in the court or in the people. Therefore, Zhu Yicheng needs to weigh the pros and cons before making every decision and prepare for the backup. This is the intention of asking He Xianzu to spread the news.

As expected, George Churchill, the British man, couldn't wait to jump out. His jump out saved Zhu Yicheng some of his strength. No matter what purpose he was for, for public or private purposes, it had nothing to do with Zhu Yicheng and the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yicheng wanted the result, and the current result was obviously satisfying him.

The next day, the grand court meeting.

Today is the day when the Russian Empire envoys came to the Hajj to meet.

The envoy of Tsar Peter, the Count of the Russian Empire, was dressed neatly early and led by personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the palace, waiting for the beginning of the court meeting.

Although Paul was an earl and was considered a high-ranking noble in the Russian Empire, his background was not very good. Zhu Yicheng guessed correctly. This Earl Paul was the brother-in-law of Tsar Peter, and now the younger brother of the Tsar Queen.

The current queen, the future Catherine I, was originally very poor, so her younger brother was naturally not very good.

As a child of an ordinary family, it is naturally impossible for him to have a noble family. Moreover, his title of earl was only granted after his sister became the queen.

Besides, although the Russian Empire is rising, Russia is still a barbaric land in the eyes of European countries. Naturally, the Russian aristocrats are true aristocrats who are not recognized by European countries. At best, they are the role of poor relatives in the countryside.

Paul, the newly-appointed Earl of the Russian Empire, was the relative of a poor relative in the countryside. In the later generations, he was the brother-in-law of a household who had obtained a contract and made a fortune after the reform and opening up.

This kind of character may have some status in the Russian Empire, but in Europe, it is almost no different from ordinary people, let alone the Ming Dynasty.

After a duke like George Churchill, when he first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he was stunned by the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Now he cried and shouted that he refused to leave the Ming Dynasty and racked his brains to try his best to continue to stay in the Ming Dynasty.

Earl Paul, on the way, first traveled from west to east, then from north to south, across most of Europe and Siberia, and finally came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, Ivan, who had been to the Ming Dynasty before, introduced him to the prosperity and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Although Paul was interested at that time, he only thought that the so-called prosperity and prosperity were just slightly better than Russia.

As a Russian nobleman, although Paul was a nouveau riche, he had seen the world. But when he really entered the Ming Dynasty, he found that his worldview began to collapse, because everything he saw and contacted far exceeded his imagination.

Especially when he entered the capital and witnessed and was at the center of this great country with his own eyes, Paul looked like a fool, and he was like a gangster and sleepwallow, and he had not come back to his senses until the formal negotiations were formally negotiated.

Fortunately, Paul was the main envoy of the Ming Dynasty this time, and there were two deputy envoys. One of the two deputy envoys was Ivan, who had been to the Ming Dynasty before, and the other was a minister specially selected by Tsar Peter with rich experience.

With the help of the two of them, the negotiations continued smoothly. After the negotiations were over, Paul was still immersed in an unprecedented impact.

Today, when the formal court meeting and the process of meeting the Emperor of Ming Dynasty began, Paul was led like a puppet and didn't know how to enter the palace. When he emerged from the huge and majestic Forbidden City, he felt the solemn and solemn atmosphere around him, and the Ming officials in gorgeous official uniforms were as if they were muddy in Paul's head, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly because of nervousness, fear, excitement, and uneasiness.

"Ah! What a beautiful country, maybe heaven is just like this. If I could stay here forever, I would be willing to die even if I die."

A thought flashed through Paul's mind, and at this time he felt that he should strive to stay in the Ming Dynasty and never want to return to the cold and empty Russia again.

While he was thinking about what method to continue to stay in this beautiful country, not far from him, several people wearing Ming robes but obviously European faces looked at Paul, who was entering the city like a country bumpkin in their eyes.

These people are naturally the ministers and diplomats of various countries in the capital, and the leader is naturally George Churchill.

As he was in the Ming Dynasty, George Churchill's habit of dressing became closer to the Ming Dynasty. When he entered the palace to meet the emperor, he would change into suits and dresses, but later he felt that such dressing was too funny, especially among the countless Ming officials and majestic halls, he was the only one wearing Western clothes and wigs, and his calves were like women in later generations, wearing lace-edged white socks, and his behavior was almost like a monkey who was laughed at by others.

Afterwards, George Churchill completely abandoned his original dressing habits. Not only did he usually wear Ming outfits in his mansion, but he even wore Ming outfits in front of his Ming officials and even emperors.

Influenced by him, diplomats from the Portuguese ambassadors, the Netherlands and Spain also began to dress like this. Now this dress has become the habit of Western diplomats in the Ming Dynasty, so if they stand in the crowd without looking at their faces, they are almost not much different from the officials around them.

And now, George Churchill is looking at Paul not far away from them with interest with several diplomats. Just as the Ming officials saw themselves when they first arrived at the Ming Dynasty, they felt an inexplicable sense of superiority in their hearts.
