In these years, the winter is long, and it comes early, at the end of September, there is a light snow over Yanshan, into October, it is already the year into the cold winter, and the heavy snow began to fall overwhelmingly in the north and south of the river.

This snow, to the mountains and rivers of the land clothed in a layer of silver, Rui Xue Zhaofeng year is not off, but in recent years, this snow comes too much, too urgent, even after a heavy snowfall, the summer of the next year may be a few months without rain, the old season's solar terms, it seems that it is no longer useful.

However, in the past two years, the year seems to be getting better year by year, of course, the main reason is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, unless the grain is not harvested, otherwise, there can always be some subsistence food, and now, the people of the world know that after the winter, they will switch to eating potatoes, and they can always save a lot of staple food.

Potatoes are full, and the yield is high, it is normal to produce two or three thousand catties per mu, and some people even say that in the garden of the Emperor of Zhongdu, they can produce 10,000 catties per mu, and if they plant a few acres, they will naturally not worry about eating and drinking. Because of this, the most difficult winter in previous years is easier to live, after all, there are enough rations.

But even so, the people in the village, every time the weather is cold, they go into the house one by one, the cat is in the house, nothing happens, and no one wants to come out. In the past, cats saved food in winter, but now it is mainly to avoid the cold, after all, it is too cold this day.

In the cold winter season, although not many people come out, there are still horse teams on this official road, marching along the frozen official road towards the south.

Unlike the usual convoys, two of the carriages were guarded by a small group of riders, all dressed in black and gray, and all of them wore woolen coats. Looking at their tiger-backed bodies, people can know at a glance that they must be the guards of that house. In the middle of the guard sat a young man on a tall horse. He looked like he was in his thirties, wearing a woolen coat and a woolen cloak. On his thin face, a pair of eyes watched his surroundings vigilantly. And next to the saddle there was a firecracker, which was in a holster.

Occasionally, he would look up at the darkening sky, his brow furrowed, lest he be late for his stay. More often than not, however, he would put up the fur collar of his coat, for it was too cold to ride a horse this winter, and most of the brothers around him wished that the hat and collar were one and the same.

Compared with the biting cold outside, the inside of this carriage is as warm as spring, and the stove under the seat makes people feel a little hot, which is why Zhu Mingzhong will hang his bearskin coat on the door.

Reaching out and wiping down the glass window, Zhu Mingzhong glanced out the window, then turned to Shi Zhao and said.

"When it's dark, you'll almost be at the mouth of the river."

Xu was afraid that Shi Zhao wouldn't know, so he specially added.

"After crossing the estuary, it is Nanjing."

"Oh."

I heard that he was going to Nanjing, Shi Zhao's mood seemed a little chaotic, he was going to Nanjing, and this time he went to Nanjing with His Majesty to ...... In order to.

"Concubine Shi, if you want, you can meet him with me."

Looking at Shi Zhao, who was silent, Zhu Mingzhong took the initiative to say.

"After all, when you were young, he definitely didn't recognize you."

Zhu Mingzhong said that he is his nominal younger brother - Zhu Cihuan, now Zhu Cihuan has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, no longer the former "Wang Shiyuan", but the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, and this is also telling the outside world that from Xingqian, the Ming Dynasty's clan will also be re-divided, after all, the country titles given to his sons by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have been abolished for various reasons.

As the first vassal king of Zhu Mingzhong, Zhu Cihuan received "Qin", which is an extremely noble title. After all, at least nominally, Zhu Cihuan is his younger brother.

But in fact?

Looking at Shi Zhao, whose face was a little sad, Zhu Mingzhong let out a long sigh. His identity as "Zhu Cijiong" is just an impostor, but for the throne.

If you have to say that it has anything to do with Zhu Youzhen, it is also his son-in-law - Shi Zhao is his daughter Princess Zhaoren. She and Zhu Cihuan are the real royal bloodline, as for themselves...... How can a person in 2016 have anything to do with Zhu Youzhen?

"It's still gone."

Shaking his head, Shi Zhao looked out the window, looking at the wind and snow outside the window, and just whispered.

"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty."

"What?"

Shi Zhao's thanks made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, and then held her hand and said.

"Xiao Zhao, you know, I ...... Yes will never ......"

What is her thanksgiving?

I'm afraid that Zhu Cihuan is alive, which is a threat to him, after all, he is the real prince, and who is he Zhu Mingzhong?

But, what's the big deal, the reason why Lao Tzu inherited the imperial system of the Ming Dynasty is just for convenience, in order to win the world as soon as possible, so that the people in the world will be less chaotic.

Even after a few hundred years, with DNA identification, there is no way to change this fact, if Lao Tzu is not for the sake of the world, how can he impersonate Zhu Cijiong.

"No,"

Shaking his head and interrupting His Majesty's words, Shi Zhao said with a smile.

"The concubine wants to thank you, at this time, I can still read the concubine, take the concubine to Nanjing, and see off my brother, in fact, ......"

His eyes drooped slightly, and Shi Zhao said in a low voice.

"The past, the concubines have long forgotten it, only Shi Zhao remembers it, as for the past...... The concubine would rather forget it all. ”

A lot of times, it's also good to forget. After all, the child who was only a few years old almost died under his father's sword, and the psychological blow was extremely heavy for anyone, even after the two got married, Zhu Mingzhong found that she sometimes woke up in her dreams, that is, in recent years, she did not have nightmares.

Noticing that Shi Zhao's expression was a little depressed, Zhu Mingzhong diverted the topic and said.

"Xiao Zhao, this time the feudal country chosen by the King of Qin is Semarang on Java Island, which is the same as Batavia, it is a coastal port city, although the Ming people of Semarang are not as many as tens of thousands of people in Batavia, but it is located in the center of Java Island, although I have not drawn a good border for them, but as long as Qin State strives to colonize, it will definitely be able to control most of the island, as for Gui Guoguo is limited to the northwest of Java, Semarang is in the center, and it can calmly expand the land in the east and west directions......"

The purpose of not fixing the borders of the feudal states is not only to encourage them to expand, but also to intervene in the future and coordinate their demarcation of borders, only in this way can the role of the imperial court be strengthened again, and not just ignored by the feudal states.

Dividing King Gui and King Qin to Java Island, of course, also has Zhu Mingzhong's selfish intentions. Because the island of Java is the richest region in Southeast Asia, the soil in Java is very fertile because volcanic ash periodically fertilizes the land. Another reason is that in addition to the Dutch, there is also a Mataram Sultanate on the island of Java, although the ruling Sultan Amand Guulat I is weakened because of his tyrannical rule and the imposition of exorbitant taxes on non-believers, whether King Gui or King Qin wants to control it, they must defeat the Mataram Sultanate. After all, the Dutch only controlled Baili near Batavia, and Semarang was also taken by the Governor of Nantianmen and obtained from the Mataram Sultanate. And this kind of "wanting" will be a special way for the Ming Dynasty to divide the clan in the future, that is, to ask for a port from the Nanyang Territory, and then divide the clan there.

In the future, the Ming clan, like the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty and the commune peasants led by them, will first establish a military base after entering the newly occupied area, and such a stronghold is the "state". The vast area outside the "country" is called "wild". They will be like the Zhuxia of the Zhou Dynasty, where they will educate the people, let them accept the education of the Ming Dynasty, and eventually belong to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty has a heart, even if it is a father...... Father will also be grateful for His Majesty's good intentions. ”

Although she said that she had long forgotten the past, Shi Zhao was still very concerned about her only relative, and after knowing that King Qin's fief was also on Java Island, she specially asked the female officials in the palace about it, and after knowing that Java Island was the richest place in the South Seas, she was of course very grateful to His Majesty.

It's just that the simple Shi Zhao, or even the outside world, will never know that there is Zhu Mingzhong's own intention to seal the two of them to Java Island, and only he knows what they will face there.

Perhaps, they can easily defeat the local Sudan and divide the island of Java in two, but what kind of people are they facing? However, fortunately, it has only been more than 200 years since Ara was introduced to Java, and it was not until more than 100 years ago that it defeated Hinduism and Buddhism on the island, and as for the implementation of the teachings on the whole island, it was only 30 years ago, and they still have a chance to change. Just like the Portuguese in East Timor, there is a natural opportunity to convert local beliefs as long as attention is paid to strengthening the work.

However, this is an extremely long process, and perhaps they will have the richest and most populous region in the South Seas, but they will also have the most internal problems, which they will need time to resolve, and they will inevitably face many problems, which will further limit their future development.

But everyone has selfish intentions, and Zhu Mingzhong is no exception, and even he has some darker thoughts, but those thoughts can never be revealed.

"That's all I can do!"

After such a long sigh, Zhu Mingzhong glanced out the window, and then thought silently.

Emperor Lie, although I am an impostor, I am really not thin on your son!

Although the king is not the emperor, he is also a prince. In this way, it can be regarded as making your incense endless, and there are successors!
