Chapter 115 The Tsar's Great Wedding (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)
Austria-Hungary, Vienna, Royal Palace.
Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria looked at his slim granddaughter in front of him.
"Elizabeth, have you really made a decision? If you are willing to marry Tsar Mikhail II, I will not object!" Franz Joseph I said
"Grandpa, I have made a decision. I agree to marry His Majesty the Tsar!" Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary's eyes were full of determination.
Franz Joseph I sighed in his heart and stopped persuading him.
"Well, Elizabeth, everything is as you wish. However, I hope you will not blame me, let alone resent our country. Everything I do "is for our country!" Franz Joseph I said.
Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary didn't say much, turned and left. "Six Three Seven" Franz Joseph I looked at Grand Duchess Elizabeth and Mary with a touch of kindness in his eyes.
Although Franz Joseph I was the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he was also the most honorable person in Europe. However, he is actually a miserable person. His wife is Princess Sissi, the heroine in the movie "Roman Holiday". But unfortunately, his son Crown Prince Rudolf chose to commit suicide, and let him send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Later, Princess Sissi was assassinated again, leaving him alone.
Now, his granddaughter is going to marry Tsarist Russia again. The number of times we will meet in the future may be counted on the fingers.
As the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he had no other choice but to fully safeguard the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are about to marry. Tsar Mikhail II married the Grand Duchess Elisabeth Marie, the granddaughter of Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This undoubtedly cast a shock bomb on the whole of Europe.
You know, these two countries were fighting to the death on the battlefield some time ago, but now they are married. The world is changing too fast!
The German Emperor Wilhelm II immediately sent a special envoy to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to ask to see the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I, hoping that he would consider it carefully. After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a member of the Allied Powers, and the Tsarist Russian Empire was their enemy!
Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, since he has already made a decision on this issue, naturally he will not change it.
He claimed that the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary had married Tsar Michael II. Then, he is no longer a member of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and has nothing to do with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Austria-Hungary was still a member of the Allied Powers and the most loyal ally of the Germanic Empire.
Of course, such situations are very common in Europe. You must know that the female czars in the history of the Russian Empire were also foreigners. However, they all focused on the interests of the Russian Empire and were deeply loved by the people of the Russian Empire.
Immediately, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire began to discuss the date of the wedding and so on.
On September 2, 1799, Tsarist Mikhail II of Tsarist Russia and Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary of Austria-Hungary held their wedding in Moscow.
And this day happens to be the 16th birthday of Grand Duchess Elizabeth and Mary.
It is worth mentioning that most of the people in the Tsarist Russian Empire believed in the Orthodox Church. The Austro-Hungarian Empire mainly believed in Catholicism. Therefore, before the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary married Mikhail, she had to be baptized, converted to the Orthodox Church.
Under the auspices of the Orthodox Archbishop, the grand wedding was held.
Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as the representative of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the elders of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth and Mary attended the wedding. It's just that he kept a dark face the whole time, as if someone owed him money and didn't pay it back.
Other countries have also sent important figures to attend this wedding.
This is true for the Empire on which the sun never sets, the Germanic Empire, the Gaul Kingdom, the Caesar Kingdom and the Lighthouse Kingdom, etc.
Although, due to the different interests of different countries, there are even many contradictions between countries. However, on the whole, on the surface, everyone is still passable.
At the wedding, Mikhail brought Elizabeth Mary a crown symbolizing the queen.
Elizabeth Mary became the most honorable woman in the Russian Empire.
And this also made the people of the Tsarist Russian Empire cheer for it.
In his eyes, Mikhail led the Tsarist Russian Empire not only to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also forced the Austro-Hungarian Empire to marry the Grand Duchess to their Tsar, which is really awesome
Of course, this also made the people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire hate the Tsarist Russian Empire even more.
In fact, although the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were married. But in fact, the relationship between the two countries has not eased. Especially when the Crown Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was extremely hostile to the Russian Empire, the two countries were still hostile.
Mikhail didn't care about this at all.
The future Tsarist Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be enemies rather than friends. He also hoped to defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the battlefield, and then annex the Slavic states controlled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to realize the dream of the Great Slavic Empire. If possible, in the name of Elizabeth Mary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire can also be swallowed up.
In that case, the strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire will become even stronger. The dominance of the Tsarist Russian Empire in Europe will soon be established.
Mikhail is very satisfied with his married life.
In his previous life, he was not married. In this life, I finally got my wife as I wished.
Although Queen Elizabeth and Mary were young, the Caucasians developed earlier, and at this age they were fully capable of fulfilling their duties as wives.
In addition, the appearance of Elizabeth Mary Palace is not bad. Although she is not a top beauty, it is enough to match Mikhail.
Under these 1.6 circumstances, what else can Mikhail insist on?
Besides, he was reborn into this era not for pleasure, but to change the fate of the Tsarist Russian Empire. Therefore, love in bed and love for children are not what he cares about.
After Mikhail and Elizabeth Marie got married, their honeymoon trip did not leave the Tsarist Russian Empire, but went to the Ural Mountains and the West Siberia Plain.
After just one month, Mikhail's main energy was returned to state affairs.
For him, making the Tsarist Russian Empire stronger and allowing the Tsarist Russian Empire to win in future wars is undoubtedly the most important thing. In contrast, everything else can be temporarily put aside. .
