No one knows how the crown prince spent those years, and being transferred to Assam was completely different from letting him go to the Americas, where he went to exercise as a prince, and when he went to Assam, everyone's interpretation at that time was that the crown prince would be deposed.

Because after the emperor sent him to Assam and Manipur, he transferred all the people around the crown prince and did not allow domestic officials to contact the crown prince, and everyone, including the crown prince himself, believed that the emperor was cutting off the princelings. Preparing for the dethronement of the crown prince, and letting the prince go to Assam and Manipur, is also a way back for the crown prince, once deposed, he may be able to get these two pieces of land to establish a country.

Compared with the danger of losing the Chinese throne, these two small countries that have not yet developed are really not worth mentioning. And once he loses the position of prince, there is no guarantee whether he will really be able to spend the rest of his life overseas. China's imperial succession is always full of blood, and if any prince who finally succeeds on the throne through a fierce struggle for imperial power thinks that the crown prince is a hidden danger, I am afraid that the crown prince will have to worry about his life.

So the crown prince was very low-key in those years, there was not a single princeling member around him, and the emperor allowed him to recruit talent on his own.

The crown prince, who had lost the support of a large princeling force, realized at this time that without the support of those people, he was nothing, and he was the crown prince because he was the emperor's concubine, not because of his own talent.

In order to develop his own country, in order to survive after he could be deposed, the crown prince brought out all his political potential, and the education he received since childhood, his years of experience, were mobilized at this time.

He was a corporal and carefully selected the right talents, so he had to lower his posture and ask for help from some powerful forces. He co-opted overseas giants such as African companies, lured them to invest in Assam, and recruited officials from among the talent they had cultivated. He also had to grieve the players, with the chiefs of the local tribal forces, Tusi Xu, and the snakes, hoping to get the support of these forces.

He introduced various preferential treatments to attract immigrants, especially scholars, who moved to Assam, and stayed diligently for eight years, and managed Assam into a country with a population of 8 million before he was recognized and transferred back to the country, and at the same time handed over the kingdom of Assam to his second son Zhou Chun as a bride price for his marriage to a Russian princess. After that, the status of the crown prince was strengthened, and he began to advocate the state politics of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a superintendent.

Nearly 30 years have passed, but the crown prince still remembers what he experienced in Assam. It was the best years of his life, the period when his outlook on life and worldview were completely established, and the time when he moved from immaturity to maturity, and the impression left on him during that time was not good.

The crown prince did not dare to be jealous of the emperor, he was born in the emperor's family, this was his fate, and the emperor did not really give up on him. Afterwards, it was shown by all indications that the emperor had no intention of deposing the crown prince. Despite the order not to allow him to return to China, and despite the order not to allow any domestic official to contact him, the emperor never expressed the attitude of considering another crown prince. Domestically, the policy of suppressing the princelings, which was seen as a preparation for the deposition of the princeling, was limited to suppressing the development of princelings for a few years. He did not depose or exile any princely officials. Instead, they excluded all of these people from the center, but made most of them serve in local departments with real power, which is in fact cultivating these people. The reason why the emperor restricted his contacts with domestic officials was to exercise his ability to govern independently, and on the other hand, it was actually to put pressure on him to make him more stable and grow faster.

If the crown prince does not hate the emperor, he can only blame other forces for his suffering, and England is the country he hates the most.

The crown prince firmly believed that if Britain had not formed an alliance against him in the Americas and finally fought with him, he would gradually build up a strong power in the Americas, and finally create a solid foundation for returning to China. Hatred has been against him since he entered the Americas.

So after returning from Assam, the crown prince, who returned to power, has been looking for an opportunity to strike at Britain. It's a pity that there has never been an opportunity for him to hit hard, or even destroy the country directly.

In the first ten years of his imprisonment, he did not have a stable foundation, and he was very cautious and did not dare to change the emperor's deployment or change senior officials. Ten years later, international fusion and Germany had been unified and became the most powerful country on the European continent. At this time, the crown prince gradually installed his cronies in the center, and princely officials like Zhou Guanhai took charge of the government. But at this time, the emperor suddenly supported the establishment of a parliament. At first, the crown prince thought that this was the emperor against him, and he was very panicked, and he did not dare to openly confront him.

In the first five years of the parliamentary system, when all forces had not yet found the right way to fight in parliament, and the national order was very unstable, the crown prince was very honest in these five years, and the focus of his administration was to prevent revolutions like those in Europe, and he temporarily gave up the struggle with Britain.

Five years later, under the escort of Zhou Guanhai and other princely forces, the crown prince not only established his own bureaucracy in the government, but the parliament was also controlled by the gentry faction gathered by Zhou Guanhai, and at this time the crown prince's control over the country was truly formed. But the emperor still pressed on his head, on the one hand, because of the emperor's strong prestige, and on the other hand, because the emperor still had absolute power over the army.

But by this time the crown prince's power had been formed, and he began to push his will and began to look for opportunities to strike at the British. The American Civil War was a good opportunity, but the Emperor set restrictions on him to support the American South on the basis of abolition, and demanded that the United States must be divided. Under a series of changes, China and Britain have never moved towards confrontation. The ensuing crisis of the Spanish throne was another good opportunity, when the Chinese fleet was already pitting the British navy in Venezuela, but in the end the Germans backed down and they gave up the fight for the Spanish throne.

Failing to find an opportunity twice in a row, the crown prince actively supported naval expansion after the war, setting off an arms race that was higher than the previous round, which was a release of discontent with the delay in cracking down on Britain. But this kind of soft competition could not satisfy him. This time the Franco-German war broke out, and the crown prince was excited, thinking that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived. So he accepted the suggestion of Li Zhangtong, the head of the Imperial Court, and signed an alliance treaty with Germany before the war, so that Germany dared to go to war with France under British pressure.

The crown prince originally thought that after the war between Germany and France, Britain would soon be involved, and then China could enter the war and go to war with Britain on the grounds of fulfilling its alliance obligations.

However, the alliance was time-sensitive, only three months, and at first the crown prince did not care, but as the time limit drew nearer, the crown prince began to become restless, and gradually felt that he seemed to have been deceived by his courtiers.

He became angry one after another, and called Li Zhangtong, who was presiding over the negotiations, to reprimand him many times, and put pressure on him to push forward the process of participating in the war as soon as possible. But Li Zhangtong has not made progress, and now there are only three days before the end of the Sino-German alliance, and the crown prince has lost patience, and he summoned Li Zhangtong again, and he wants to give Li Zhangtong an ultimatum.
