Zhu Ciyi felt that he had inherited many of the advantages of Emperor Chongzhen, such as generosity.

Smiling lightly, Zhu Ciyi spoke, "Mr. Caxton, please tell me, is there anything you need my help with?" ”

Caxton's face revealed a look of embarrassment, and he said quite embarrassedly: "Your Highness should know the current situation in Europe, right?" The princes fought, the imperial decrees were simply ignored, and the damned Poles even wanted to lure the barbarians of Tsarist Russia into Europe. ”

Zhu Ciyi nodded and said, "This prince does know about this matter. There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is called "brothers fight against foreign aggression together", which means that even if their brothers have contradictions, they must resist foreign aggression together. ”

Caxton said: "Exactly. But the Poles, not caring that they were part of Europe, were dissatisfied with the Empire and turned entirely to barbaric Tsarist Russia.

God testifies that the barbarians of Tsarist Russia did not do much murder and arson in Europe during the reign of the Golden Horde!

Now, those Poles have forgotten their old hatred and want to let the barbarians of Tsarist Russia into Europe, which is not only disrespectful to the Church, but also a betrayal of the Empire, and even more hostile to the Ming Empire! ”

Zhu Ciyi said: "That's true. I wonder what Mr. Caxton has to say? ”

Caxton said: "As wise as His Royal Highness, the present empire is no longer able to support the large-scale use of troops against the Poles, and even the soldiers are not as elite as the soldiers of Poland and Tsarist Russia."

If there was any other army in Europe that could resist the traitors of Tsarist Russia and Poland, it was probably the army of Bavaria. ”

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Ciyi spoke: "If the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, that is, the father-in-law of this prince, wants to use troops against Poland and Tsarist Russia, Bavaria can provide the necessary support, such as arms and troops. ”

The composition of the army of the Duchy of Bavaria was quite complex, including the Bavarian Guard, which was composed entirely of the Ming Soldiers, the Whole Guard, which was completely composed of the Ming Guards and the original Bavarian Soldiers, and a reserve Guard, which was composed entirely of Bavarian Soldiers.

According to Zhu Ciyi's original plan, it was to rely on the Bavarian guard of the Ming Dynasty as the foundation, and through a little bit of infiltration, the entire training guard would be turned into an army loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

As for the reserve guard, it is used as cannon fodder - what Zhu Ciyi just said about sending troops refers to the Bavarian reserve guard, which belongs to the kind of cannon fodder troops that do not need to feel distressed when they are exhausted.

Caxton's reaction was completely beyond Zhu Ciyi's expectations.

After shaking his head, Zhu Ciyi said: "Simply relying on the Bavarian guard is not a one-and-done solution, just like the Ming people often say, it is better to give fish to others than to teach others how to fish."

In fact, the empire's army has also been improving, especially under the guidance of those military instructors sent by the Ming Dynasty, its strength is getting stronger day by day.

The biggest problem now is that there are so few military instructors that it will take a long time to complete the training of all the armies of the entire empire.

And what the empire needs most now is time, especially as Tsarist Russia has begun to march into Europe, which will become shorter and shorter.

If you can, I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince can recruit more military instructors from the Ming Empire for the empire, let them come to the empire, and complete the training of the imperial army as soon as possible? ”

Tsk, this request is very good!

It's not that Da Ming doesn't want to send more military instructors into the army of the Holy Roman Empire, after all, the long-term training process is also a subtle process, as long as the operation is done properly, the entire army of the Holy Roman Empire will fall to the Ming Dynasty.

If one day there is a war between the two countries, a teacher can easily fight most of the time when facing the students he has taught.

Not to mention the morale of the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire, and not to mention whether they have the courage to face the teachers who trained them, just being familiar with the army of the Holy Roman Empire is already enough to get enough!

The reason why more people were not sent after the first batch of military instructors, and only rotated every two years, was that the Ming Dynasty was worried that sending a large number of people would cause vigilance and backlash in the Holy Roman Empire.

Well, now that no one has brought it up on the Ming side, Caxton has taken the lead in bringing it up.

Obviously, this so-called Caxton's request could not be just his own idea, and it must have been followed by Ferdinand III and the Holy Roman Empire's military.

Where can I find such a god dog teammate? Not often in the whole of Europe!

After nodding with a smile, Zhu Ciyi said: "This matter has been written down by this prince, and he will write a letter to explain this matter to his father when he comes back."

Of course, whether this matter is successful or not depends not only on the prince, the attitude of the Holy Roman Empire is also very important, and the role that the prince can play is limited, and in the end it depends on the decision of the father. ”

Caxton also knew that what Zhu Ciyi said was the truth, so he immediately thanked Zhu Ciyi with a smile, and then spoke: "In addition, I also want to buy a batch of books from His Royal Highness for the educational reform of the Holy Roman Empire?" ”

Zhu Ciyi began to doubt.

Is he the legendary chosen one, just like Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, who can come whatever he wants?

Military and educational aspects are completely tilted towards the Ming Dynasty, and after a hundred years, these European barbarians are different from the people of the Ming Dynasty except for their appearance, what else is different?

After shaking his head slightly, and after throwing out the appearance of the European with white skin, blue eyes and red hair with Confucian shirts, Zhu Ciyi spoke: "This is no problem, this prince can agree to come down for his father first, after all, spreading the teachings of saints to the world is originally the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Caxton doesn't know how to thank Zhu Ciyi - if you want people to give people, you want books to give books, you can give whatever kind of support you want, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince is really a good friend of Europeans!

……

The news quickly spread back to Daming, and Emperor Chongzhen's reaction was not what Zhu Ciyi expected.

Need? Want a book?

I asked for money and equipment, and I still had to send people and books for such a small thing? If you don't agree to them, your conscience will condemn you!

After pulling Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Zhiji to discuss for a while, Emperor Chongzhen agreed.

The booksellers in Daming are about to cry, different from the distressed crying when they were taxed in the past, this time they are laughing and crying - laughing for the sake of profit, and crying for business taxes!

The booksellers are bitter, before the imperial court convened the major wealthy merchants to divide the commercial interests of Europe, the booksellers were the few who did not receive the invitation.

This era is also fucked up, although intellectual property rights and copyright issues have been raised and regulated, and there are not as many pirates as later generations, but they can't make money with a lot of silver, and all that's left is to watch those iron and silk merchants with red eyes and a lot of money.

Now it's finally my turn, millions of books have been printed, that's a lot of silver!

Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on Tsarist Russia.

It was not only those merchants who fell into the carnival feast, not only the Ming Dynasty, not only Emperor Chongzhen, but also the people of the people.

Especially the people in Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Duogansi and Wusizang, Liaodong, and Nuergandusi.

The impact of social stability and the prosperity of life is multifaceted - the simplest point is to think about it.

After eating and closing, people's energy begins to enter a surplus state, and the excess energy always has to find a place to vent, otherwise it will eventually cause big trouble, just like those dogs who are too full in later generations.

It was this time that the army was used against Tsarist Russia.

Emperor Chongzhen and the court bigwigs wanted laborers, and the guys who were well fed and clothed and had nowhere to vent their energy were suddenly excited.

Isn't it just a knife to cut people? Who wouldn't cut someone? What about military training?

A large number of strong men and strong men brought their own swords and horses, went to the government to ask for directions, and after connecting the townships with each other, they went directly to the north.

If there are any people in the entire Ming Dynasty who are not very happy, it is probably the officials who belong to the county lieutenants of the official government.

None of these good families are worry-free, and the old fists that disagree with each other happen almost every day, if it weren't for the deterrence of the government and the restraint of these good families, I am afraid that there would have been a life lawsuit long ago.

Liu Zhen took over the responsibility of catching slaves from his father Liu Hang, and took a group of horses to step on the snow with one foot and one foot shallow, and headed north.

Wang Haojie's son Wang Zhiyuan is also the same, but he is very dissatisfied with the situation that the mountains in northern Xinjiang are closed by heavy snow at every turn.

After snorting hatefully, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Speaking of which, what will Guanli be like at this time?" It shouldn't have started to snow yet, right? ”

Liu Zhen said: "Don't say it's Guanli, even in Liaodong, it hasn't snowed yet, especially in Jinzhouwei, I heard that it's still warm." How many places in the whole Ming Dynasty are like a bird here? ”

Wang Zhiyuan said: "Then what are we going to do?" I said that I would come back when spring began, and you had to come now, but I didn't see a single barbarian shadow, and our brothers wanted to eat snow here instead! ”

Liu Zhen couldn't help but glared at Wang Zhiyuan: "Are you stupid, forgot what that sentence said?" The early bird gets the worm! ”

"Ahh Spit hatefully, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Why didn't we get up early enough?" But what about the barbarians? The barbarians also have to survive the winter! ”

Liu Zhen felt that he couldn't communicate with a tenacious person like Wang Zhiyuan: "No, think about it, where is this?" How far is it just past North Mountain? We're still in the Ming Dynasty, where are you going to catch the barbarians? ”

Wang Zhiyuan was even more troubled.

My group set off early, but it's been almost a fucking month, and it's still in the territory of Daming - how big is this Daming!

Liu Zhen was too lazy to deal with Wang Zhiyuan anymore, so he led people to run towards him as soon as he greeted him.

There are many people like Daming and Wang Zhiyuan, and they don't seem to be happy if they don't scold two sentences every day - these people dislike Daming in their mouths, this is not good, that is not good, but they can't allow others to talk about it.

Just like this time, when I heard that His Majesty the Emperor and the bigwigs of the court were in need of labor, many people prepared their swords and horses and set off.

All of them are honest things, so don't pay attention to them.

Of course, Wang Zhiyuan is honest and honest.

It's my own business to say that Da Ming is not good, just like the barbarian who came to Liaodong to do business, but he just said that Da Ming didn't pay much attention to human rights, and he knocked out his two front teeth on the spot, so that he knew what human rights were!

As for being taken over by the government for questioning and reprimanding a few words afterwards, Wang Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart at all - he often fought since he was a child, and he was as familiar as returning to his own home when he entered the county office, so he was not afraid!

After a while, Liu Zhen didn't see him take care of himself, Wang Zhiyuan couldn't help but speak: "Anyway, how did you peek at other people's little ladies taking a bath last time?" ”

After glaring at Wang Zhiyuan, Liu Zhen couldn't help but smile and said, "It's coming, it's coming." His parents have already agreed to this family business, and it is estimated that I will soon change my name to father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”

Giving a thumbs up, Wang Zhiyuan praised: "Among our brothers, you are the fastest, and you are about to marry a daughter-in-law, pity us brothers!" ”

After snorting again, Wang Zhiyuan said: "I don't know where the word single dog came from, but it's really appropriate. ”

Pointing in the direction of the capital, Liu Zhen said: "Anyway, it came from the capital, so I don't know the specifics." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Zhen still couldn't help but say: "You can say a few words, this broken place is icy and snowy, and you can save more physical strength by saying a few words." ”

pursed his lips to express his dissatisfaction, Wang Zhiyuan didn't speak again, but just followed Liu Zhen to take the lead forward.

It took two months for Liu Zhen and Wang Zhiyuan and their entourage to cross the defense line of the Ming army and officially step into the land of Tsarist Russia.

Wang Zhiyuan snorted and said, "Damn, I suddenly remembered something!" ”

Seeing Liu Zhen looking at him, Wang Zhiyuan said: "Think about it, after the barbarians here are cleaned up, will this become the territory of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Liu Zhen nodded and said, "That's right, and then what?" ”

Wang Zhiyuan said: "Then? Then Your Majesty and the princes of the court want to work again, where can we arrest them? Even if there are barbarians farther away, how many miles do our brothers have to run?

This time it took more than two months, and it looks like spring is about to begin, and we have been on the side of the road for many years. Our brothers have lost a lot! ”

Stretching out his finger and pointing to the wolf smoke rising in the distance, Liu Zhen said: "It may not be a loss!" ”
