Calculate the time, there are not many days before the death of Peter the Great in history, but Zhu Yicheng does not know Peter's specific date of death, and only vaguely knows that he died of illness. However, judging from the information sent back from Russia, Peter is still alive and has no sign of illness at all. In addition, since Zhu Yicheng's uprising in Jiangnan, the world has long been turned upside down. Who can ensure that Peter can meet his God as scheduled?

In addition to sending spies to win over Russian aristocrats and using the aristocratic class to influence Peter's decision on the Far East, Zhu Yicheng also made another step of preparation.

This preparation was to contact the Swedish kingdom that had just been defeated by Russia. More than ten years ago, Russia first defeated Karl XII's army in Ukraine, forcing Karl XII to escape to the Ottoman Empire. Later, Karl XII joined forces with the Ottoman Empire to start war with Russia. Russia was defeated in this battle. On the condition of returning Azov and allowing Karl XII to transit and return to China, it signed an armistice agreement with the Ottoman Empire. The slumped Karl XII was able to return to Sweden.

Back in Sweden, Karl XII regained his strength and implemented reforms at home, intending to restore national strength. Unfortunately, Peter did not give him a chance to breathe. Russia launched a series of attacks on Sweden from land to ocean, forcing Sweden to withdraw from Finland. Faced with this situation, Karl XII still did not give up. A few years ago, he reorganized his army and personally fought against Norway, wanting to avenge his previous shame with victory on the battlefield. Unfortunately, in the Battle of Norway, Karl XII was killed in a stray bullet. After this battle, Sweden not only lost the battle, but also lost their heroic king.

Carl XII was the British master of Sweden and a hero on the battlefield. If Peter had not existed, he could have been generous in the world with his abilities.

It’s a pity that since Yu and He Shengliang were born, the opponent Carl XII encountered was one of the greatest emperors in Russia. In the face of a strong enemy, although Carl XII tried his best, he was unable to turn the tide and die on the battlefield. He had to sigh at the impermanence of fate.

After the death of Karl XII, his throne was inherited by his sister Urrika Elinora. The Swedish queen had a deep hatred for Russia. Like her brother Karl XII, she would never recognize the interests Russia seized from Sweden from the war, and intended to restore the status of Swedish Nordic overlord.

According to information, the Queen of Sweden secretly communicated with the UK in private, intending to fight against Russia with the British alliance. Therefore, from this point of view, the Queen of Sweden's practice was exactly what the Ming Dynasty wanted, and Zhu Yicheng felt that this was an excellent situation to exploit.

In addition to Sweden, there was also the Ottoman Empire, which was also Russia's powerful opponent in the West. The Chinese were experts in strategy. As early as the Warring States Period, Qin took advantage of the contradictions between the six Eastern countries and adopted a strategy of distance and attacking near and near, thus defeating the powerful enemy one by one and finally unifying the world.

Now, the Ming Dynasty could also use this method in the face of Russia in the north. Western countries were not monolithic, and interests were their real pursuit, so this is the task that Deng Bing was in.

These days, Zhu Yicheng has felt some signs of targeting the Ming Dynasty from all aspects of information, including the reports from the General Office. Especially after Gao Jin took over Myanmar, Western countries' vigilance and defense against the Ming Dynasty have reached a new level.

Coupled with the development of the Southern Land, the Ming Dynasty directly rejected the Western countries' attempt to get involved in the Southern Land, which further changed the attitude of Western countries towards the Ming Dynasty. Although these changes were not revealed immediately on the surface, they had to be prepared.

Fortunately, the local area was sent by Wang Donghetong Office in Xinming, which showed that France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and even the United Kingdom had adopted certain trade blockades against Xinming in the New World. Of course, these blockades were not on the surface, but they actually brought a lot of trouble to Xinming.

At present, Wang Dong is trying to solve this problem. He is planning to start with Spain first, but what can he do and what the next reaction of Western countries will be, it is not yet possible to accurately judge.

The conversation with Deng Bing lasted for a morning, from the north to Europe, then from Europe to Xinming, and then back to the South China Sea.

After the talks, it was already noon. When Deng Bing left, Zhu Yicheng felt hungry and had someone come to the meal. Zhu Yicheng continued to handle government affairs after using the meal, and did not stop until the evening.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to take the lights." It was getting late, and Xiao Jiangzi brought a few eunuchs into the side hall, reminding her first as usual.

Zhu Yicheng, who stopped, rubbed his swollen temples, looked at the sky and thought for a while, then waved his hand: "No need to hold the lights today, let's just stop here."

"Will the emperor have a meal now?" Xiao Jiangzi waved his hand and asked the other eunuchs to retreat, then asked carefully.

"Let's wait a minute, I'll have dinner in the bedroom in an hour." Zhu Yicheng said casually, then stood up and said, "I'm going for a walk, there's no need for so many people to follow."

Xiao Jiangzi responded. When he was tired, Zhu Yicheng liked to walk around the imperial garden in the palace for a few times. At this time, Zhu Yicheng was to relax himself, and to think about some problems in this way. Xiao Jiangzi had long been used to it.

After leaving the side hall, Zhu Yicheng headed north. The garden of the palace is quite large and the decoration is extremely exquisite. However, after living for so many years, Zhu Yicheng has been able to visit a long time ago, and the scenery he can see has long been seen. And now it is early spring again. The capital is located in the north, and the weather is still a bit cool, and the plants are still yellow.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Yicheng felt a little bored. Listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the trees in his ears and the quietness around him made Zhu Yicheng feel a little irritable.

He stopped and looked back at Xiao Jiangzi who was following him from afar. Xiao Jiangzi hurriedly jogged over.

"Take me to change clothes, I want to leave the palace."

"Emperor, leave the palace at night? I'm afraid..." Xiao Jiangzi was stunned. The emperor was actually leaving the palace now. It was at night! It was dark and the white dragon fish suit ran out of the palace. Although it was the capital, it was...

"Lead the way!" Zhu Yicheng said in a veto tone that Xiao Jiangzi dared not refute anymore, so he could only lead Zhu Yicheng to change clothes. During the change clothes, Xiao Jiangzi asked someone to inform the guards and asked him to bring people here to change clothes immediately to ensure the safety of the emperor leaving the palace.
