Rakshasa Capital, Moscow, Kremlin.

The young Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov sat in a daze in the palatial palace.

For the war between the Far East of the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Ming Empire, the gentry meeting has been held for three full days, but the opinions between the Duma and the Patriarch are different, and the two sides are unwilling to back down.

The Rakshasa Gentry Council is composed of lords and nobles, serving nobles, high-ranking monks and high-ranking government officials, and is responsible for discussing and resolving various matters related to the survival of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Each meeting of the gentry was very expensive and cumbersome to organize, and it was supposed to be held once last year when Alexei ascended the throne, and it is said that it was less than a year later.

But the war report from the Far East really shocked the Rakshasa country, the country's territory is losing rapidly, and the country's soldiers are being slaughtered, which is not the same as the war in the western region of the Rakshasa country.

The army of the Ming Dynasty was so fierce that it defeated the army of more than 20,000 of Marquis Morozov in just one battle.

If Morozov's defeat still has the possibility of a lucky victory for the Ming Empire, then after half a month, the news of the annihilation of the 40,000 troops of the Norton Legion almost trampled the faces of the nobles to the ground, and the friction was fatal.

The face was smacked with a bang.

This can only show that the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom is not the opponent of the Ming Empire at all, and the latest intelligence has come that the army of the Ming Empire is still wreaking havoc in the eastern part of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Hundreds of thousands of Rakshasa subjects died tragically, and it was not easy to persuade the people who moved east to flee to Moscow almost within half a month.

The Ming Empire is like a rebellious monster, rushing in the land of the Rakshasa country, invincible, as the second tsar of the Rakshasa country, Alexei's mood is simply through.

"Your Majesty, the Earl of Preston begs to see you." Pierre, the chamberlain, walked in from outside the palace and played.

"Quick!" Alexey woke up from a trance.

Preston was the minister of the Rakshasa kingdom, his teacher, and his most effective helper, who helped him stabilize the situation everywhere when he first ascended the throne and panicked for the tsar.

Less leaning, into the hall walked into an old man with gray hair and a purple and gold robe, this person frowned as if there was something worried.

"Preston greets Your Majesty."

"Teacher, please get up, how is the meeting going? Is there an agreement? "The war is urgent, there is not so much time left, Alexei got straight to the point.

"Back to Your Majesty, Patriarch Nikon still refuses to agree to peace." Preston sighed.

The struggle between the clergy and the imperial power had reached an irreconcilable point, and the monks and commoners represented by the Patriarch Alexei Oberenvich Nikon firmly did not agree to compromise with the Ming Empire.

He claimed that the Ming army had blasphemed the followers of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and that God had sent the blame and that Alexei should transfer back to the Western Front to rush to the Far East to teach this group of Ming troops who did not know the height of the sky.

The Duma, which was dominated by aristocrats, mostly supported Preston and Tsar Alexei, and the aristocracy was more pragmatic, and the Far East was remote and bitterly cold, and Liao Liao could only cultivate for a few months of the year.

If it were not for the sake of the outlet, the easternmost point of the Far East, the Tatar Sea, they would not have sent valuable troops to the Far East.

The Rakshasa Kingdom has a vast territory, but its population is too small to only have more than 7 million people, and the population base means that the Rakshasa Kingdom cannot support a larger army.

"Teacher, I plan to participate in this meeting in person, do you think it is feasible?" Although Alexei was a tsar, he never took charge of the government because of his young age.

"This ......" Preston hesitated, Alexei was only seventeen years old and had always been silent, how could he be the opponent of the Patriarch Nikon.

"The Rakshasa country is surnamed Romanov, Teacher Preston." Young Alexey looked at his teacher and spoke firmly.

……

"Patriarch Nikon, the war with the Ming Empire is harmful and unprofitable, how can you be so obsessed!" The Minister of War, Marquis Victor, blushed angrily and had a thick neck.

"Your Excellency Victor, you are also an Orthodox Christian, please pay attention to your wording." Nikon, with his gray beard and pale gold embroidered robes, said to Victor gloomily.

"Hmph—" Victor snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for Nikon.

Before Victor could refute, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the Senate.

"It's Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here." A little nobleman shouted.

At this time, the Rakshasa Kingdom had just become independent from the Golden Horde for only a hundred years, and it had not completely eliminated some characteristics of the nomads, and did not have as many rituals and religions as the Ming Empire.

In addition to the huge influence of the Church in the country, the tsar only had the support of a part of the nobility.

"Honorable Patriarch Nikon, don't you know the current situation in the Rakshasa Kingdom?" Alexei was a little nervous when he saw that there were so many people in the Senate.

It was only for the sake of his father's last wishes, for the glory of the Romanov family, and for the sake of the millions of subjects of the Rakshasa country, that he had to stand up bravely and solve the problem of war in the Far East as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the Rakshasa Kingdom is instructed by God to definitely defeat the brutal army of the Ming Empire." Nikon got up and bent over without being humble or arrogant.

"In the north, there is a strong enemy, Sweden, which occupies a large area of land north of the Pskov-Novgorod line, on the Baltic coast, and firmly controls the trade routes to Europe.

To the west is the Kingdom of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which occupies a series of important towns led by Smolensk, and always threatens Moscow, the capital of our Rakshasa country. "Although Alexei is not in power, he has a lot of treasures for the enemies around the Rakshasa country.

Poland, in particular, was a powerful kingdom that had a feud with the Rakshasa kingdom, just as China and Japan would later.

However, the fighting nation has never liked to come to the void, and it is a later story to directly carve up Poland three times in the past three hundred years, and the Polish Federal Kingdom at this time is still the sworn enemy of the Rakshasa State.

"To the southwest is Ukraine, which is a vassal of Poland, and the Cossack cavalry of the Ukrainian steppes is also a serious threat to Moscow.

To the south, there is also the Crimean Khanate, a Turkish vassal state that has invaded our Rakshasa kingdom countless times over the centuries.

Your Excellency Patriarch Nikon, do you think that provoking another powerful Ming Empire in the east would be a good thing for the millions of people of the Rakshasa Kingdom? ”

Alexei counted the internal and external troubles of the Rakshasa country, he had never been so impassioned, and the Patriarch of Nikon was silent, but several bishops retorted.

"Your Excellency, do you know how many people there are in the Ming Dynasty?" Alexei became a little impatient, and he hated these bishops of the church who were in trouble with the government at every turn.
