The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, Zhu Cixiao suddenly said: "No, if we need to go all the way east to reach Europa, then do the barbarians of Europa have to go all the way west to find us?" ”

Nodding, Zhu Cihong said, "That's right, that's the case in theory." ”

Zhu Cixiao suddenly laughed and said, "That's it, our brothers all want to be bad!" Think about it, even if the barbarians of Europa want to occupy the Penglai Continent, they have to have a base, right? So where should their base be located, you say? ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up: "You mean the east?" ”

Zhu Cixiao said: "That's right, just like the base we set up after landing is in the west, those Barbarians in Europa will inevitably set up their base in the east."

Just as we haven't explored the east now, presumably the barbarians of Europa haven't made great efforts to explore the west, that is to say, let's go north along the east coast, and it is estimated that we will be able to find the base of those barbarians. ”

Zhu Cihong suddenly came to his senses, and said to Zhang Kewang: "Gather the soldiers, don't send out the flying balls again, count the equipment and the number of people!" ”

Zhu Cixiao grabbed Zhu Cihong: "Let's go over there now?" Will it work?"

Zhu Cihong said: "What else can't you do?" How many people can there be with those barbarians? If we were a little later, let alone eat meat, we wouldn't even be able to drink soup! You wouldn't think Zhang Shuai would stay there still, would you? ”

Zhu Cixiao pointed to the west helplessly: "In the capital, my father has not sent a will until now, maybe he is waiting for our brother to go back by himself."

Now that you have turned the army north, you don't know how long it will take to delay at that time, so when our brothers go back, will you be able to end up? ”

Zhu Cihong said: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to be hung up and smoked." Let's talk about it then, what are we doing with this headache now? ”

With a roll of his eyes, Zhu Cihong said again: "No, my sister-in-law must be about to give birth, we really have to go back quickly, otherwise even if there is a big lady and the queen mother pleading, I'm afraid that we still can't escape this catastrophe." ”

Zhu Cixiao suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "It's over!" ”

When is this, and it's about to give birth? It is estimated that the child has already fallen to the ground now, and he has now become the child's father?

Zhu Cixiu, who was still in a state of confusion, rubbed his face, and after suddenly coming back to his senses, Zhu Cixiao strode towards the way he came, and muttered, "I'm going to become the child's father?" I have a baby? ”

Zhu Cihong grabbed Zhu Cixian and said suspiciously: "How do you know that you will be born now?" When we came, my sister-in-law had just become pregnant, and even if she was going to give birth, it would take ten months, right? Didn't you say that you were pregnant in October? ”

Zhu Cixiao said with disdain: "When we came, we already knew that she was pregnant, and it would take at least a month at that time, right?" It's been more than eight months since we came out, right? It's normal to be born at nine months, but who told you must be ten months old? ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned and said, "What are you doing in Sakhalin?" How can you even understand the matter of a woman giving birth? ”

Suddenly, Zhu Cixiu, who was full of smiles, glanced Zhu Cihong up and down, and said with a wicked smile: "After you get married, after your daughter-in-law is pregnant, you will naturally understand, now it's just me taking the lead, it's nothing." ”

Although what he said was nothing, the contempt for the single dog on his face was undoubted, which made Zhu Cihong, who was full of doubts, have nowhere to go.

Zhu Cihong said: "Then what are you going to do now?" You can't be beaten when you go back? ”

Zhu Cixiao gritted his teeth and said: "Those who are beaten or not have to go back, I can't throw them on Sakhalin Island." I'll go back first, and if they're okay, I'll come back. ”

Seeing Zhu Cixiu's words, Zhu Cihong no longer persuaded him, but just sighed and said: "Come on, if you go back, I will also go back to see my little nephew or little nephew. ”

All the original plans were nullified, and all the eastward and southward movements were canceled, and the group went directly to the base along the way they came, intending to continue to return to Daming by sea.

But when the group returned to Sakhalin, they found that the entire Liao Wang's Mansion was basically empty, and except for the guards and maids and eunuchs, everyone else was gone.

After asking the head of the guard about the situation again, Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong suddenly had a headache.

After a long sigh, Zhu Cihong said: "Well, let's not think about anything, let's go back to the capital honestly and be beaten." ”

Zhu Cixie's heart was not on whether to be beaten or not, and his feelings of worrying about the child were infinitely expanded the moment he set foot on Sakhalin Island, and now the whole person is eager to put on his wings and fly to the capital.

As for being beaten?

What's the big deal about being beaten, when I was in Myanmar, I was hung up and smoked by Fangzhenghua, and now that I have a son, will I still be hung and smoked?

As for Zhu Cihong? It is normal for this single dog to be smoked, and it is a big deal to comfort him a few more words.

Zhu Cihong, who didn't realize that he had been sold, was pacing, and kept muttering: "I understand this, after we go back, we have to beg the eldest lady first, and then go to the queen mother, as long as we can fool the past, our brothers don't have to be beaten." ”

However, when the two brothers galloped all the way into the capital, and then arrived at the gate of the palace, they glanced at each other, obediently dismounted, and then were tied up.

Wang Chengen bowed slightly, the folds on his face could almost trap mosquitoes, and after the two brothers were tied up, Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has already ordered, as soon as you two come back, you will go to see the driver first, as for Queen Yi'an and Queen Mother, wait until you see the car and then go to ask for peace." ”

Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong honestly did not speak, even if they were tied up, they did not struggle, but honestly followed Wang Chengen to the palace.

The two of them are afraid that someone has already come to the capital to report the news since they first set foot on Sakhalin Island, and they want to fight with their father in the palace, but they are still a little too tender.

In fact, as the two brothers expected, as soon as they entered the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was already sneering with a whip, and after drinking away the guards and eunuchs around the two brothers, he whipped it up regardless of it.

After smoking, Emperor Chongzhen threw the whip in his hand aside, took the wet hand towel that had been prepared long ago from Wang Chengen's hand next to him, wiped his hands, and sneered: "You two bastards are all long-lasting?" Well?

My second son, who took his sister and ran to Sakhalin, then threw her sister down and sailed with her brother?

Have you two bastards ever thought that Xingzi is pregnant, how can Jingxue, an unmarried princess, take care of Xingzi? Even if there are those maids and grandmothers, you two bastards don't worry about things?

Still learning people to run to expand the territory? Now tell me how much soil you two have expanded for me. ”

As soon as they heard Emperor Chongzhen's question, the two brothers were dumbfounded.

It's really cool when you cut people, and it's even more cool when you build a view of Beijing, thinking about how many barbarians you have cut for Daming and how much soil you have expanded, the two brothers are excited.

However, the two brothers ignored a key issue from beginning to end - they patronized and cut people, and they didn't count how much territory they occupied!

What's even worse is that even Mao Wenlong and Zhang Xianzhong have not been counted, maybe the two of them have been counted, but their two brothers don't know at all.

Looking at the two brothers who were staring at each other, Emperor Chongzhen sneered and reprimanded: "Two princes! It's nothing to sneak out of the palace, and it's nothing to like to lead soldiers to fight.

Generally speaking, the skinnier children are smarter, but what about the two of you? What about the brain? Do you really think you can lead troops to fight?

I ask you, is it a means to lead troops to war, an end or a country, a country! Do you know what the word "country" means? ”

Without the two brothers answering, Emperor Chongzhen said to himself: "The country is different from the family, the family and the country are the family in the front, the country is in the back, the country is the country in the front, and the family is in the back."

Do you think that I keep leading troops out to fight just for the sake of fighting, so you two bastards are learning the same thing? Stupidity! ”

After snorting coldly, Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "Get up, don't be embarrassed lying there." ”

After dismantling the two brothers, Emperor Chongzhen instructed again: "Go and prepare a stool for these two bastards." ”

Wang Chengen bowed down and took a little eunuch to move the stool, and then Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "If you want to govern the country, you must collect its power, and if you want to collect its power, you must govern its army." Those who have no power or army will either die in their country or in their lives, and those who are kings must know it.

You two bastards have caught up with the good times, and since you were born, there are not many foreign enemies left that can pose a threat to my Ming Dynasty, and the world can be regarded as peaceful.

When I first ascended the throne, the court was in chaos, and there was almost no one who was not rotten, including the Eunuch Party, the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Xungui, and the factory guards.

If I want to clean up this mess, I must first put away the military power and the people's will, of which military power is the most important.

Without military power, even if you have 10,000 ideas to win over the people's hearts, it's useless, without the people's will, no matter how strong your army is, it's a flash in the pan, so I have to rely on the edict of never giving money to win the hearts of the people, while leading the army to continue to fight abroad.

You two bastards are good, but you haven't learned a few points about the means of governing the country, just thinking about how to lead troops to war? It is not advisable to govern alone, just like the former Song Dynasty, and martial arts alone is not advisable, just like Qiang Qin.

I told you two to go to the Young Army from the beginning to listen to the lectures, and you two came back after listening to these things? Wait a while, go and say hello to your eldest lady and queen mother, and then go back and be grounded for a month, and think about what I just told you, if anyone dares to sneak out of the palace for half a step, I will break your dog's legs! ”

Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong went out grinning, Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go, let's go and say hello to the eldest lady and the queen mother, the father beat us, and wait for the queen mother to find him trouble." ”

After reaching out and tearing the clothes on his body to make himself look more miserable, Zhu Cixiao smiled and said: "It's not bad enough now, if you don't get it right, you have to take another beating, you have to make yourself a little worse first." ”

Zhu Cihong tore the clothes on his body like Zhu Cixian, and even reached out and touched the ground, and then touched the clothes and face.

Worse than miserable, isn't it?

But what disappointed Zhu Cihong was that the ground in the Forbidden City was not much worse, not to mention that it was not much dirty, and the whole person looked not much different from just now.

After the two brothers left, Wang Guoxing walked in, bowed down and presented the two pieces to Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen touched the first piece in his hand and looked back and forth a few times, he snorted and threw it on the table, and commanded: "Tell Mao Wenlong and Zhang Xianzhong that they will give them all if they want supplies and supplies on the Penglai side."

But it's not enough to kill people like this, go back and let the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households send people over, and let me find out the size and properties of Penglai, and I can't even know how big the continent is and what materials are produced. ”

The two brothers, Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong, also have spies from Jinyiwei, and the two brothers also know it in their hearts, and Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care at all.

Now this recital was sent back by the Jinyi Wei next to the two brothers, about the two brothers' every move on Penglai's side, as well as the movements of Zhang Kewang and the soldiers he carried.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay attention to these people's slashing people on Penglai Island to build a capital view, what really annoyed Emperor Chongzhen was that these bastards were patronizing and killing people, and he didn't even understand how big the entire continent was.

After Emperor Chongzhen took the second copy of the piece and read it for a long time, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "These barbarians, interesting." Send a copy of this information to the Central Pole Palace, the cabinet, as well as the eldest prince, the second prince, and the prince, and also send a copy to the prince, and let the three of them prepare various notes to me. ”

What made Emperor Chongzhen laugh was not something else, but intelligence from Europe.

A rebellion broke out in England - the king went to war with Parliament, King Charles I of Scotland allied himself and fled to the Isle of Wight, and the whole of England was now in disarray.

A dignified king, forced to flee by the ministers of his own country, and then negotiated with the parliament, while planning to pull up the army of King Qin to teach those "rebellious ministers and thieves" a lesson.

It's hilarious.

It's okay if your waste is cleaned up by the Congress, but you still plan to negotiate with the Congress when you have already organized the army of King Qin, isn't this a bag in your head?
