In the morning of the first day of September in 1689, Astana was two miles west of the city.

Continuous grasslands and rivers mixed in between the grasslands breed vitality on both sides.

The early birds flew carefree in the morning sunshine, and the cheerful lambs gnawed on the dew-covered grass.

A convoy from Moscow slowly approached Astana in the early morning sunshine.

In the carriage in the center, looking at the carriage window from a distance, there is a beautiful girl with a white swan-like neck, slender and dreamy.

The chestnut curly hair is spread on the head, shining in the morning sun.

This is Sophia.

Sophia's maid, Polina.

Sophia herself was fast asleep in the carriage, and the thunderous snoring and the braying of cattle on the grassland formed a symphony full of life.

The grassland was endless as far as the eye could see, but there were boundaries. Polina clearly saw a crowd of people two miles ahead, and it was likely that her destination was about to arrive.

"Your Highness, Astana has arrived!" Polina woke up Sophia, who was sleeping soundly.

A man relies on his clothes, and a horse relies on its saddle. Kang Mazi's outfit is extremely elegant.

They are the Eight Banners line infantry!

And at their destination, Emperor Kangxi and the Great Khan were wearing his bright yellow satin embroidered flat gold dragon and cloud patterns on parade, which was the armor he usually wore during military parades.

There are still many people whispering to each other at this moment. What are they talking about?

But looking at the bright expressions on their faces, you can tell that the morale of this group is high and they are not at all dissatisfied with being forced to shave their heads.

This firepower is quite powerful!

By the way, the Khoshut Khanate and Yarkand Khanate in the snowy plateau, and the Persian Safi Dynasty also accepted Kangxi's invitation and sent large missions.

Okay, "very Qing Dynasty"!

Obviously, they are Uzbeks who have just joined the Mongolian Eight Banners, or they are elites specially selected from the three alliances of Kazakhstan, Bukhara League and Khiva League to belong directly to Kangxi Khan!

These "elites" had just joined the Mengba Banner not long ago and had not yet practiced properly, so they looked relatively loose.

All kinds of artillery pieces added together, the number is no less than two hundred.

There is also Nalan Xingde’s Ming Dynasty’s envoy, and the night pearl with strong radiation is on the way!

Behind Kangxi Khan, the open grassland was covered with cavalry and infantry in four colors: yellow, white, red, and blue. The number of them was probably over 100,000!

These infantry and cavalry are also fully armed.

On the left side of Kangxi Khan were infantrymen carrying spears and shotguns. They looked a bit scattered, but they also arranged a formation similar to the Spanish Grand Square. If you look carefully at the appearance of these people, it is not obvious that

It is difficult to find that they are basically Mongolians with a lot of blood from the Western Regions.

Kangxi was very satisfied. The last time the Qing army was so powerful was the last time.

This time Kangxi dressed up carefully in order to marry the "beautiful lady" from Rakshasa.

In addition to his armor, he wore a yellow gun helmet with black tassels, a bow and arrows on his back, and rode a Turkmen horse with a thin head, tall neck, slender limbs, and a light golden coat. The black cloak behind him was blown by the strong wind on the grassland.

ring.

It’s all because Tianzhu is too tempting. They are going to Tianzhu to become masters soon. Can they be unhappy?

On both sides of the infantry brigade, there are also brigade and large groups of cavalry!

The number of these cavalry is extremely large, as much as the number of infantry.

Hearing the maid's flattering words, even thirty-year-old Sophia couldn't help but feel shy.

Soetu's Western European envoys and military reinforcements are also on the way, which is slower than Princess Sophia.

"Pollina, is my dress okay today?" At this time, Princess Sofia was like a young girl, worried that her sweetheart would look down on her.

This time Kangxi and Sofia's wedding has really become an international event!

These infantry horizontal formations were all located on the right side of Kangxi. In front of these horizontal formations were artillery batteries, including bronze field cannons that fired five-pound shells, Weiyuan general cannons that fired explosive shells, and the Qing's ace rockets.

(Shenhuo Flying Crow) Army.

You can tell at a glance that they are elites, lined up in a horizontal formation, standing in the wind, neat and solemn.

Most of the infantry were equipped with a large number of heavy matchlocks and grenades.

This army is chaotic in every aspect, the only thing that is uniform is their hairstyle.

As soon as she heard the word Astana, Sophia quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her thick arm, showing what she thought was a dignified look.

None of them were wearing helmets or turbans, but their heads were bare, revealing shaved bald heads and long, thin money rat tail braids.

Of course, there are also some nomadic cavalry from the Kazakh League, Bukhara League, and Khiva League. Although they look a little loose, they are all equipped with good bows and horses, and they also use enough high-quality iron for arrows and scimitars.

It turns out that some knights are also equipped with small firecrackers, which look stylish.

But in the eyes of others, this dignified appearance is full of chilling air!

Looking at their formation and clothing, you can also know the origin of these cavalry - some are elite cavalry from the Manchu Eight Banners and Junggar, or they are armored heavy cavalry, or unarmored light cavalry.

I know they have been strictly trained.

It’s probably even listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the grandest wedding.

There were tens of thousands of people who came to drink the wedding wine alone, including at least 100,000 heavily armed troops!

The only problem is that his body is a bit weak and this body is a bit heavy for him now.

Naturally, Polina would not tell the truth. She narrowed her eyes, arched her eyebrows and smiled: "Your Highness, you are the most beautiful pearl of the Rakshasa Kingdom. Kangxi Khan will definitely like you!"

It was enough to start a war to destroy the Mughal Empire in Tianzhu!

However, Kangxi Khan summoned 100,000 troops from all ministries to form a grand military parade on the Kazakh grassland today, not to swear to conquer Tianzhu, but to welcome his princess.

The princess, escorted by a small group of shooting troops and Cossack cavalry, soon arrived at the scene and was about to give Kangxi a "big" surprise!

Kangxi believed that such a large-scale wedding reception group would definitely make both his fiancée and the Rakshasa envoys escorting his fiancée feel the power of the Qing-Mongolian United Empire!

Because only by making the Rakshasa people feel that the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia were invincible, could Kangxi confidently and boldly lead his army on an expedition to Tianzhu

At this stage, he has no intention of giving up the land of Central Asia just to capture Tianzhu.

The land of Central Asia is an important barrier for Tianzhu, equivalent to Tianzhu’s “Sixteen Youyun States”!

Kangxi didn't know how long he had been thinking about it. The sun in the sky had gradually moved to the middle of the sky. Only then did he see the dozen or so fast horses sent out to greet him come back quickly, heading towards Kangxi from a distance. There was so much space here.
