On March 19, the 17th year of Chongzheng, it seemed to be a very ordinary day for Zhu Cijiong, as usual, he got up early, went to the early court, and then came to the imperial study and began to deal with military affairs.

Everything is so normal, without the slightest wave.

Recently, the situation on the front line has been very good, and the news of the capture of the French fortresses in the Pyrenees has been coming, and it should only be a matter of time before the entire Pyrenees are occupied and the offensive and defensive situation in West France is reversed.

Zhu Cijiong began to turn his gaze to other places, a little to the right, it is the Eurasian Railway, however, the distance on the map is thousands of miles long, and the Eurasian Railway will not be able to build the Holy Roman Empire in the short term, so there is no need to think about this road for the time being.

A little further to the right, there is Tsarist Russia, at this time Siberia is freezing the world, and there is nothing to think about for the time being.

Further to the right, across the entire Siberia, and then across the Bering Strait, is the American continent, he has a plan to start overseas colonization from here, but now the Ming Dynasty is not very clear about the situation there, where is the territory of the natives, where there are traces of foreign powers, and even where is suitable for building a port.

He had never been to the Americas in his previous life, and he didn't have any intuitive understanding of the terrain and landforms over there, so he couldn't just mess around with his impressions, and then send someone to build a port!

If he wants to be lucky, it would be good to build a port in a place that is suitable for building a port, but if he ordered a place that is not suitable for building a port at all, it will not cost the people and money and waste time.

Therefore, he sent a large expedition led by officials of the Ministry of Industry, including Jinyi Wei secret agents, army and navy super battleships, and armed fortune ships to explore the east coast of the American continent.

The development of the American continent did not happen overnight, first of all, it was necessary to build a port and naval base so that the Ming army could have a foothold.

As for building a railway directly from the Bering Strait, it is unrealistic, whether it is to build a bridge on the sea or to build an undersea tunnel, the Ming Dynasty does not have this technology now.

Besides, it is close to the Arctic Circle, and it is frozen for almost half of the year, so building a railway is a thankless task.

He planned to find a suitable port and naval base below the ice line, and then use it as the center to carry out reconnaissance, and use the railway line to slowly spread to the north and south.

However, these will not be carried out until the expedition returns, so there is no need to think about it for the time being.

Further east, across the American continent and back to the European continent and Africa, now the naval strength of the Ming Dynasty over there is not enough to compete with the anti-Habsburg alliance powers, it seems that there is nothing to do there for the time being, he can't let Zheng Chenggong risk attacking!

After staring at the world map for a few laps, Zhu Cijiong found that there was really nothing to do at this time, not that Daming had dominated the world now, but the main reason was that the timing was wrong.

He originally wanted to take a break for a while and then have a decisive battle with the anti-Habsburg coalition, but who knew that the anti-Habsburg coalition made the first move, which caught him off guard, and he was not completely ready now.

Since there is nothing to do, let's go to the harem, now the harem is full of princes and princesses, laughter and laughter, he basically stays there when he is fine, teasing his children, yo-yo dog, it is also a very happy thing for him.

As soon as he stood up, he was about to beckon Cao Huachun to drive the harem, when the voice of the system beauty suddenly sounded in his mind: "Ding Dong, congratulations on completing the last glorious task to rewrite history, and now the reward will be issued: ironclad battleship blueprints." “

Zhu Cijiong only felt that his head was like being filled with lead, extremely heavy, and he involuntarily fell back into his chair, at this time, countless drawings and materials were constantly pouring into his mind: what ironclad battleships, what welding machines, what rivets, what lifting equipment, etc., etc., everything, just like a small encyclopedia.

The beauty of the system has already said that this is the last glory task, so there is more knowledge instilled, second only to the glory reward last time, however, it seems that some knowledge has overlapped with the knowledge he mastered in later life, maybe this thing is like copying and pasting, and the original ones don't need to occupy space, and he didn't roll his eyes like he did last time.

This time, he only felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't know how long it took for the system to finally stop perfusion.

The system beauty, as always, immediately prompted: "Ding Dong, friendly reminder: the glory mission is over, and the system reward is over!" Tips are over, happy playing. “

That's it? Didn't even say hello and just disappeared?

Zhu Cijiong sat there motionless, extremely depressed, a trace of sadness slowly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Alas"

He didn't think about the ironclad battleship at the moment, and he didn't even care much about the departure of the system beauty, because he knew why this last reward was given out today.

Today in the history of later generations, that is, the day of the Chongzhen Dynasty, is the day of Chongzhen's self-hanging, and it is the time of the fall of the Ming Dynasty!

He unknowingly passed the most painful moment, and he has completely rewritten the history of the Ming Dynasty!

Now, instead of perishing, Da Ming has become extremely powerful, looking at the world, who can compete with Da Ming now!

The current Ming Dynasty has the largest territory, the largest population, and the most developed science and technology, and it is only a matter of time before it defeats the great powers and dominates the world!

At this moment, he should probably be proud.

At this moment, he should probably be proud.

However, he was inexplicably sad.

Perhaps, the history of the Chongzhen Dynasty was too tragic.

Perhaps, this day of the Chongzhen Dynasty is too bleak.

He, empathize.

He was grieved.

He always wanted to do something to make up for this regret.

After being silent for a long time, he finally stood up again and said aloud to the door: "Cao Huachun." “

Cao Huachun walked in as always, and said respectfully: "Weichen is here." “

Zhu Cijiong said in a tone full of vicissitudes: "Send someone to invite King Xin, Princess Xin, and all my brothers and sisters to come over, and let them come and get together; In addition, send someone to inform the Queen Mother, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine, and all the princes and princesses that at noon today, they will have a meal with the fifth uncle's family; You count the number of people, see how many people there are in total, let the imperial dining room prepare, pick the best ingredients, make a few tables of banquets, and set up a banquet in Kunning Palace, go. “

Why did the emperor suddenly think of holding a banquet to invite the family of King Xin, it seems that the New Year's Festival has not been so grand, right?

Although Cao Huachun was puzzled, he didn't ask anything, he was just stunned for a moment, then surrendered his order, bowed down and withdrew to make arrangements.

Zhu Cijiong sat down again, just sitting dumbfounded.

The past scenes came to his mind, mainly after he was reborn, the previous life was too long, and it slowly became blurred, and the experience of this life was the main theme in his mind.

I have finally changed history, my Ming is not dead, my Ming will not die!
