The book contains a lot of miscellaneous, but very simple, if not disorganized. Zhu Ciyan only read the beginning, and he couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, the content in the book was too incredible.

"Father, this book ......" Zhu Ciyan couldn't find the right words to describe this book for a while.

"Doesn't it seem too bizarre and subvert everything you know?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"Yes." Zhu Ciyan said softly.

"You've only seen the beginning, and when you look at the back, you'll be even more shocked. And I promise that what is written in this book will be realized one day in the future, but it will take a process, and this process may take hundreds of years. Zhu Youxiao swore and said.

"It was only today that the minister finally understood his father's hard work."

"I can't really understand what anyone in this world thinks." Zhu Youxiao said softly, "But it's okay, I believe that one day someone will be able to understand." ”

"Father, rest assured, Xiao Gui Cao Sui's reasoning, the minister understands."

"Some of the things recorded in this book are something you can see when you have a chance, but most of them you can't see, you just need to remember that the empire must be at the forefront of this world in terms of gewu, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and once you are beaten, the empire will fall apart, which is one of the reasons why I will immigrate at all costs."

"The minister will definitely keep it in mind."

"Remember that except for the emperor who succeeded to the throne, the rest of the people can't read it, let alone go out of the Qianqing Palace, otherwise, there will really be endless troubles." Zhu Youxiao told again.

"No."

……

The crown prince has been elected, but the empire is still arguing about the country's foundation, but the debate is much quieter than before. And since Zhu Ciyun was elected prince, there has been an endless stream of visitors to his mansion every day. Even Westerners such as the Dutch and the British sent congratulatory gifts.

And Zhu Cijiong finally agreed to go to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou to serve as the governor. Zhu Cijun now goes to the palace every day, attends court meetings, assists in political affairs, and reads the unnamed book.

In May, all the soldiers who went to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou to participate in the military camp were assembled. And Zhu Cijiong will go to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou with this group of soldiers.

"Jiong'er, it's a long way to go to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, why don't you let me go with you, in case something happens, I can still help you." Concubine Ren said with tears in her eyes.

"The Great Wilderness Dongzhou is not only a long way, but also a wild place, the mother and concubine have passed the age of not being confused, if there is any mistake, the child will die and will not be able to escape the blame." Zhu Cijiong persuaded.

"You go to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou alone, I really don't feel at ease, and you have been fighting with the prince for so many years, today the prince is in power, I am afraid that I will ......" Ren Guifei said softly.

"Don't worry about the concubine, I understand what my father meant by letting me go to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, I went to the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, far away from the empire, so that the prince would be completely at ease with me, and now that my father is still here, the prince will not do anything to me."

"But I'm still not at ease."

"Mother, I promise that I will come back safely."

"Go and meet your father, your father has something to say to you."

"No."

……

Zhu Youxiao is now waiting for Zhu Cijiong in the Qianqing Palace. Seeing Zhu Cijiong coming, Zhu Youxiao didn't talk nonsense, but pointed to the map behind him and said: "This is the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, this is the current control of the empire, this is the place of Manchukuo, this is the place of the British, here is ......"

Zhu Youxiao introduced the forces of the entire Great Wilderness Dongzhou, and then did not continue to speak.

"I remember." Zhu Cijiong nodded.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, but waved his hand to signal Zhu Cijiong to retreat.

After Zhu Cijiong left, Concubine Ren went to the Qianqing Palace to meet Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, Cijiong ......"

"The most ruthless emperor family, since he has chosen the path of fighting for the crown prince, then the consequences of failure can only be borne by himself. This has been true from ancient times to the present day. As long as the imperial power is supreme, this situation cannot be changed. I can't help him, and the rest is up to him. ”

"The emperor's words, the concubine understands, the concubine only asks you to save Cijiong's life." Concubine Ren fell to her knees and pleaded.

"I have already told Ci Ji about this, and Ci Ji has also sworn that he will not harm Ci Jiong's life." Zhu Youxiao said with relief.

"But ......" Concubine Ren was still not at ease.

"You go down first, I promise that Cijiong will not worry about his life."

……

In June, Sweden declared war on Poland and simultaneously conducted military operations on Polish territory and in the Baltic Sea to prevent Russia from entering the Baltic Sea. And the Russians' war with Poland also entered a critical period.

And the Ming army also focused on the Great Wilderness Dongzhou. At the end of the month, Zhu Cijiong set off with 50,000 soldiers from Juntun and went to Dongzhou in the Great Wilderness. The Ming army's control area was still maintained west of the Rocky Mountains, and the Ming army and the Manchurian army formed a confrontation across the Rocky Mountains, and the Ming army was now weak, more than enough to defend, and insufficient to attack. However, the Manchurian Army was unable to launch an attack because of the large gap in weapons and equipment, and now the Manchurian Army is trying to buy firearms from Westerners.

When Zhu Cijiong set foot on the land of the Great Wilderness Dongzhou, it was already mid-September. Since the Ming army began to collect taxes from the areas under its control, it has become completely self-sufficient in grain this year. However, the sudden increase of 50,000 people has made the grain suddenly become tight again, and it has become an urgent matter to solve the food problem for the winter.

"Lord Wang, our army's food can only last until December, and it is very important to solve the food problem now, otherwise, our army will not be able to survive the whole winter."

"The first time the king of the Great Wilderness Dongzhou came, what do you think should be done?"

"The first is to trade with the Westerners, but the Westerners will definitely not be able to provide us with so much food, they can only provide rations for 10,000 people at most; The second is robbery, there are more than 100,000 local indigenous people living within the control of our army, but only half of the people who pay taxes, and outside the control of our army, there are more indigenous people. ”

"Rob?!" Zhu Cijiong has been educated in Confucian culture since he was a child, and after he became an adult, he rarely left Beijing, so he had great concerns about robbing such things.

"If you don't rob it, the army won't be able to survive the winter, and the supply ships from the empire won't be able to reach the Great Wilderness Dongzhou until late spring at the earliest."

"Think about it."

"Lord Wang, if you don't do it as soon as possible, once winter comes, you won't be able to send troops if you want to."

"Within ten days, this king will definitely make a decision."
