Chapter 104 Three Years War
Chapter 104 Seven Years War
Although Princess Elizabeth and Peter II are aunts and nephews, they are similar in age and close.
Peter II died of illness less than three years after succeeding to the throne. The throne should have been inherited by Princess Elizabeth, but out of consideration for their own interests, those nobles finally found Peter the Great's niece Anna Ivanovna as the heir.
Princess Elizabeth was very angry about this, but she had no power at the time, so she could only choose to compromise and endure.
Queen Anna reigned for a total of 10 years. Since she took the throne, Princess Elizabeth's situation has become increasingly difficult.
Because the existence of Princess Elizabeth is a potential danger to Queen Anna, Anna makes things difficult for Princess Elizabeth in every possible way.
In order to stay away from right and wrong, Princess Elizabeth chose to leave Moscow and moved to St. Petersburg alone.
The various policies of Queen Anna after her reign greatly damaged the interests of the nobles, so many people wanted to help Elizabeth succeed her.
Princess Elizabeth is in St. Petersburg and her heart is in Moscow. She secretly contacts the nobles who support her and is ready to take back the throne at any time.
In 1740, Queen Anna died. In order not to let Elizabeth succeed, she passed the throne to her sister's grandson Ivan VI, but the child was only three months old at the time.
In 1741, Princess Elizabeth launched a palace coup, imprisoned Ivan VI who was still a baby, and became the third female czar of Tsarist Russia, known as Elizabeth I of Russia in history.
Elizabeth I was 32 years old when she succeeded to the throne, still single, and still stunningly beautiful.
After Elizabeth I came to the throne, she immediately restored all the reform measures of Peter the Great.
Although Elizabeth I was a daughter, she had the ambition of a man. She participated in the war against Prussia, known as the "Three Skirts" alliance in history.
The so-called "Three Skirts" alliance was that Queen Maria Theresa of Austria joined forces with Madame Pompadour, the mistress of the King of France, and Queen Elizabeth I of Russia to launch the famous "Seven Years' War" against Prussia.
Now is the time when the Seven Years' War is about to begin. Jiang Dedao remembered that Elizabeth I fell ill and died before the Seven Years' War ended.
Jiang Dedao didn't know if Queen Elizabeth I's illness could be cured by himself. If it couldn't be cured, a precious Loyalty Pill could only control Elizabeth I for less than seven years, which was a bit of a waste.
In addition to this, there is another option, that is Peter III's wife Ekaterina. After the death of Elizabeth I, Peter III succeeded to the throne. Later, his wife Ekaterina successfully usurped the throne in a coup and became a very famous woman in history. tsar.And has been in power for more than 30 years.
Jiang Dedao couldn't make up his mind for the time being, and planned to wait until he found out the strength of these two women before making a decision.
Of course, if Yekaterina now has the ability to promote the Dream of Red Mansions to all Tsarist Russia, he will definitely choose Yekaterina.
As for the alliance that Qianlong and the others hoped for, Jiang Dedao always felt that it was very difficult and hopeless, and he didn't bother to think about it at all.
After drinking, Jiang Dedao took out a silver ruble, placed it on the table, and left the tavern.
Flying all the way to St. Petersburg from the suburbs, Jiang Dedao first found a hotel to stay in.
At night, Jiang Dedao activated his flying belt and flew directly to the palace.
In the palace at night, the lights are brightly lit everywhere, and there is an endless stream of patrol teams.
However, Jiang Dedao could tell that compared to the tight security of the Qing Dynasty's imperial palace, this place was more like Qianlong's palace, with loose security.
This may have something to do with the Holy See, as long as the people, no, Tsarist Russia is a serf, as long as the serfs have a bite to eat, under the influence of the doctrine, they will basically keep their own place, and no one will think about going to the Tsarist Russian palace for assassination or something!
The imperial palace of Tsarist Russia is called the Winter Palace. In the malachite hall, all the columns are made of pure malachite. Even the corridors and stairs display purple gold stone vases and malachite vases, inlaid with gold and jasper.The famous big flower plate of Kolevan is shaped like a bottle, but the top is oval. It is carved from a whole block of stone and weighs 19 tons, which is incomparable.
Jiang Dedao flew to the outside of the Malachite Hall and looked over to find countless men and women gathered in the hall, and some men and women hugged and danced together in the middle. It seemed that a banquet was being held here.
Sitting high in the middle of the hall was a blond beauty who looked to be in her early 30s, wearing a crown. She seemed to be Elizabeth I.
Sitting on the left is a thin young man, who should be Peter III, the nephew of Elizabeth I.
Sitting on the left is a young beauty, whose appearance is not as good as that of Elizabeth I, but she is also a rare beauty. It should be Peter III's wife Ekaterina.
Jiang Dedao thought silently, looking at where he was sitting now, perhaps directly controlling Ekaterina was enough to complete the plan to carry out the Dream of Red Mansions!
After making up his mind, Jiang Dedao waited silently in the dark.
Waiting for the banquet to end, the guests left one after another.Jiang Dedao found that Peter III was winking at a certain lady, and left first as a carriage.
Then the lady followed in a carriage.
Ekaterina obviously saw this scene, and she beat the armrest of the chair with her pink fist angrily.
Elizabeth I glanced at it indifferently, stood up and went back to her bedroom without saying anything.
Ekaterina walked to her bedroom in despair, not realizing that anyone was following her.
Arriving at the palace, Ekaterina shouted, and a maid brought black tea.
Ekaterina drank the black tea, froze for a moment, waved the maid out, came to a dark corner, knelt down and said, "Ekaterina has seen the master!"
Jiang Dedao came out from the shadows, helped Ekaterina up, and said with a smile, "Get up, don't be too polite!"
Yekaterina looked at Jiang Dedao's hand supporting her jade arm, and suddenly said: "Master, I've had enough, let me follow you in the future!"
Jiang Dedao was stunned, and asked, "You and Peter III..."
Ekaterina said angrily: "Master, you don't know. Peter didn't regard me as his wife at all. After five years of marriage, I, I am still, still... a girl!"
Jiang Dedao remembered that this Ekaterina would have many lovers in the future, and asked with a smile: "You Westerners can find lovers, you can do that!"
Ekaterina was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Master, where did you hear this, I am a powerless woman, if I dare to do this, I will die for no reason tomorrow, believe it or not ?!"
"Hey! Isn't it right?!"
Jiang Dedao had seen many anecdotes about western nobles on the Internet before, and it seemed that they were not so serious!
Yekaterina saw Jiang Dedao's disbelief, and explained: "Master, Peter is the first heir to the next tsar, and he also has ambitions to become the next tsar, and as Peter's wife, if I mess with someone else at this time Together, Peter is intolerable, this is discrediting him, adding to the uncertainty of becoming the Tsar, he will definitely make me "sick and die"!"
Jiang Dedao nodded in understanding and continued: "It seems that Westerners are not as messy as I thought!?"
Ekaterina smiled and said: "Master, I must have heard one-sided news. In fact, people who can do this are all very powerful people, and 90.00% of them are men. Unless women can do it The position of the female tsar, otherwise there is no freedom in the body at all!"
