I have an olive branch in one hand and a rifle in the other, please don't let my olive branch fall to the ground

Qin Mu's policy towards European countries is roughly like this, for the benefit of Great Qin, Great Qin's sphere of influence will definitely continue to expand. But this process of expansion does not necessarily require the use of a rifle to speak.

If you fight, you can talk about it, but if you can't talk about it, you can fight again. For example, after taking Nanyang, let's talk about how to do business. When India is won, you can continue to talk, and if you are not satisfied, you can continue to fight

And in Daqin's sphere of influence, certain countries can also be allowed to get a piece of the pie. It's not that Daqin can't tolerate others, it's just that he can't tolerate others to snatch the dominance. If you want to get a piece of the pie, you must be obedient and obedient.

Western countries have always put profit first, and Qin Mu believes that if Great Qin wants to expand its sphere of influence to South Africa, it will definitely fight fiercely with Western countries. But after the war is over, after Daqin occupies the dominant position in these regions, the Western countries will definitely compete to trade with Daqin, and I am afraid that no monarch can stop this kind of interest drive.

As for the treatment of the Ottoman Empire, Qin Mu's idea is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people.

The map of the territory of the Great Qin demarcated by Qin Mu was from the Ural Mountains to the south, along the Ula River to the Caspian Sea, and then from the Caspian Sea to the Aral Sea, and then to the Amu Darya River as the boundary to the Green Mountains.

As far as Qin Mu knows, the main oil-producing areas of Russia in later generations were on the West Siberian Plain, spanning the Tyumen, Omsk, Kurgansk, Tomsk and Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and Novosibirsk regions, as well as the Krasnoyarsk and Altai regions, with an area of about 3.5 million square kilometers. 70% of Russia's crude oil is produced in this region.

Among them, Tyumen is particularly important, with more than 220 million tons of crude oil extracted, accounting for more than 90% of the total extraction in the whole of Western Siberia and 55% of the total mining in the whole of Russia.

Most of Kazakhstan's crude oil is produced in the Caspian Basin.

According to the territory delineated by Qin Mu, these major oil-producing areas have been included, and as long as these places are controlled, Great Qin will not worry about the lack of oil available in the future, so there is really no need to expand westward.

And this territory demarcated by Qin Mu did not infringe on the existing territory of the Ottoman Empire, if the Ottoman Empire did not send troops to intervene. You can even do some trade, but if he sends troops, you're welcome.

Mongolia and Tubo are young and strong, as long as they continue to draw Ding, Daqin will have a steady stream of troops to send over, coupled with advanced weapons, if you can't beat the Ottoman Empire down, it will be really a lame fart and an evil door.

After the ministers dismissed, Qin Mu asked the palace maid to bring the dinner to the Pujia Palace. Dinner with Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, the autumn sunset dyed the pavilions outside the hall red, and the scenery was very pleasant.

Li Xiangjun couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, can't you send an envoy to take the initiative to reconcile with the Ottomans?" ”

Qin Mu held the white jade cup, stopped and said with a smile: "Xiangjun is right, we are a state of etiquette, it is not impossible to send an envoy to Istanbul first, salute first and then soldier." ”

Dong Xiaowan waited for him to finish the wine in the cup, and poured him another glass. Qin Mu rarely drinks liquor, but he likes to accompany his meals with wine and drink a little in moderation, which has become a habit of his life.

"Your Majesty thinks. Great Qin and the Ottomans will inevitably have a battle, right? Dong Xiaowan's eyebrows frowned slightly, in her heart she didn't like to see a war, especially in such a distant place, she didn't think there was much need for that kind of war. It's best to be able to avoid nature, but she is not qualified to interfere with such things. I just ask casually.

"I'm afraid it's hard to avoid." Qin Mu knew her character, and gently patted her pink back to show comfort, "This may not be a matter of territory, but the intersection of the two civilizations, and there will inevitably be a little friction;

The current Kazakh Khanate and Bukhara Khanate all believe in the Heavenly Sect, and these two khanates, I want to be included in the territory of Great Qin, and in the territory of Great Qin, I do not allow anyone to believe in Heavenly Religion.

As a caliphate, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Osman to accept my approach of de-celestial indoctrination, so it will be difficult to avoid conflict, unless Osman is hurt and let him know that there are some things that should not be taken care of and cannot be managed, and this friction may be calmed down. ”

"And what about after that?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Wan thinks too much, I'm not old, I have time to settle this matter slowly, does Xiao Wan think I'm old?"

The smile on Qin Mu's face was a little **, which made Dong Xiaowanfang's heart tremble inexplicably, and Li Xiangjun smiled coincidentally on the side: "Your Majesty wants to prove to Sister Dong with your actions that she is not old yet." ”

"Those who know me, Xiangjun also! Hahaha"

"Your Majesty is so bad!"

"Hahaha"

Qin Mu smiled and summoned the female official Li Shuang'er and told her to let someone inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and prepare to send an envoy to Istanbul as soon as possible. After ordering this, I enjoyed dinner with two beauties who were all over the country and the city.

After dinner, Qin Mu, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan went for a walk in the imperial garden, and they were interested for a while, but asked the palace maid to take the piano, this time it was not for Dong Xiaowan and them to play, but for him to come by himself.

On the clear pool, the breeze was breezy, and the sunset was full of red stains on the pavilion by the water, and Qin Mu pulled it a few times, the sound of the piano was really messy, Dong Xiaowan and Li Xiangjun secretly glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of smiles.

"Don't snicker, I'm called having love before the tune, you know."

"Well, your majesty is skillful in the piano, and the slave is like hearing fairy music."

"Xiangjun, you are angry! If I don't show you my hand today, you should still be a bully. ”

"Slaves don't dare!" Li Xiangjun had a panicked look on her face, but the smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows couldn't be hidden, she had a lively and cheerful personality, bright and beautiful like poetry, and she was usually the only one who dared to be amused with Qin Mu like this.

Qin Mu glared at her, then sat upright, and played in the evening breeze, although the sound of the piano was a little jerky, but it finally became a tune, Qin Mu played the later song "Scarpaul Market" that almost everyone was familiar with, as soon as they heard this tune, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but quiet down, because the melody moved them, and then they listened to Qin Mu and Qin and sang:

AreyougoingtoScarboroughFair?

Parsley,sage,rosemary,andthyme

The tune of this "Scarpaul Market" is very simple, basically four repetitions, but the melody is poignant and tactful, it is easy to touch the depths of people's hearts, and bring people into a quiet dream-like realm, the feeling of love flows from the bottom of the heart, and the quiet countryside, the white coastline merges, who waits on the seaside under the hillside, waiting for a lonely and unforgettable true love, a call drifting in the evening breeze

Although Qin Mu's performance was not exquisite, it had already made Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan addicted to it, and their eyes were blurred in the sunset.

After Qin Mu finished playing, Li Xiangjun stepped forward and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you singing, can you play it again, the slave will listen to it again, you can remember it, the slave wants to learn this song."

"Hehe, come on, I'll teach you by hand." Qin Mu said and hugged her little waist and asked her to sit in front of him.

Li Xiangjun sat in his arms, tuned the piano first, and said expectantly: "Your Majesty, can you start?" ”

"Okay, here we go." Qin Mu hummed while teaching her, and translated the lyrics sentence by sentence:

Ask if it is suitable.

Coriander orchid, tulip angelica.

The lady on the other side will send a message from you.

The Yiren were there, and they knew me.

Tell him to prepare my clothes.

Coriander orchid, tulip angelica.

Do not use a needle anvil, no gaps and no flaws.

Where are the Yiren, comfort me lovesickness.

Such words are easier to get the approval of Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, the two daughters are both masters in piano music, plus this piece is relatively simple, once or twice, the two of them will remember it.

Dong Xiaowan asked people to take the four treasures of the study and transcribe the music score and lyrics, Li Xiangjun couldn't help but play and sing a few times, whether she was the piano or the singing, it was difficult for Qin Mu to reach, and the appeal was naturally extraordinary;

This evening, almost all the beauties of the harem were attracted by the sound of the piano, and many people melted and listened quietly, fascinated
