The new imperial court policy is still being implemented.

With the strong suppression of the Qin king Zhu Fan in the past, and the momentum of the northern expedition to the north to wipe out the grasslands, the voice of local resistance to the new policy has once again continued to decline, and it has reached the point where there is rarely opposition again.

Everybody knows.

At this time, if you dare to speak out against the new policy, those soldiers and horses of the imperial court who have just been entitled will be able to eat these people alive.

In front of the huge vested interests of the New Deal, even if the number of opponents of the New Deal has not decreased, it is no longer effective.

On the other hand, in the DPRK and China, there have recently been some questions about what kind of requirements should be used by officials in the future, and some turmoil has gradually set off.

It's just that such matters related to the country's main society have to be fermented slowly.

There is always a lot of change in Yingtian City.

But for Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng, the world seemed to stop for a moment and fell into a state of eternal change.

In the north of the Ming Dynasty, it is even farther to the extreme north than the map of Nuergan in the northeast.

At this time, Jiangnan has just entered autumn, but it is already snowy here, and there is only one color between heaven and earth.

The soft goose feather snow fell desperately from the sky, and it seemed that there would never be a moment to stop.

The tall pine needle forest has been dead and dead for thousands of years.

Wrapped in ice and snow, he resembles an armored soldier frozen in ice.

A team of more than 1,000 people, supporting each other in the snow forest, walked towards the north with a shallow foot.

Streams of white gas came out of his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, he would drift into the distance with the icy cold wind.

Zhu Yunwen, who was in the first half of the team, was wrapped in layers of clothes, and his cotton jacket was covered with a coat made of whole sheepskin, which is unique to the north.

The heavy sheepskin hat was made heavier by the proximity to the nose and mouth, and the snow falling over the snowy forest.

His hands were wrapped in a crudely stitched cross-piercing sheepskin, and he held a pine cane.

By his side, Sun Cheng, who was walking in the snow with difficulty with the support of an embroidered spring knife wrapped in cotton.

The temperature here was so cold that few people in the team were willing to speak all day.

But as soon as the mouth is opened, the biting cold wind will drill desperately from the mouth to the body. makes people feel that the next moment their internal organs will be frozen.

"Rest here, find shelter, and camp here tonight."

Zhu Yunwen pressed his hat and observed the surroundings for a while, and then spoke with some difficulty.

His voice was small, but it was heard by the whole team.

In fact, there is no other sound here except the sound of the wind.

It seems that there is nothing alive in this continuous snow forest except for them.

Sun Cheng nodded, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yunwen to the side, and there was a leeward place where a few fallen cedars were piled up.

The officers and soldiers in the team finally breathed a sigh of relief silently.

In such an environment, even if they were the most elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty in the past, they could march a hundred miles a day, but even if they only walked twenty or thirty miles here, they felt that it was a kind of torment.

If it weren't for the unacceptable reward offered by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, no one would have been willing to give up the glorious moment when the class returned to Beijing to be welcomed by the city after conquering the grasslands.

The officers and men began to disperse in the snowy forest, according to the previous break-up after each break.

Some people go to collect firewood, while others look for wild vegetables hidden under the snow.

Others began cutting down trees to surround the camp and build up a layer of snow to set up a makeshift camp.

The tent was built in the middle of the camp surrounded by these trees and snow.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng just sat down.

His own soldiers, Xiao Si, the officers and soldiers in the original garrison fort on the edge of the Great Wall, immediately took out a copper kettle, walked to the distance to extract clean snow, and waited for it to melt into hot water.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the wool mat, his eyes a little solemn.

"Sun Cheng."

Sun Cheng, who was taking out another wool pad and preparing to cover himself and Zhu Yunwen's legs, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Zhu Yunwen suspiciously.

Zhu Yunwen shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "You say, is the place that the third child said is there?" Is there such an icy strait in the far north? Is there that legendary land on the other side? ”

Sun Cheng raised his head and looked around.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but snow-covered cedars.

And he has been watching such scenes for a month or two.

There is nothing else but that.

Sun Cheng shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know, but I believe that as long as we find the right direction, we will definitely be able to find a piece of land that was unknown before." ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled silently, shook his head and said, "You say, were there any immortals before ancient times?" Otherwise, how would those rumored remnants of Yin Shang know that there would be a land similar to the Central Plains on the other side of the sea.

Sun Cheng, if there are no immortals, but there is really such a land, and there are Yin Shang relics on it, and they really migrated back then. So how did they know about that land? Who told them? Who brought the news here and circulated it to this day? ”

Sun Cheng opened his mouth, he really couldn't answer these questions for Zhu Yunwen.

Thereupon.

Syllable!

In the snowy forest, there was a crisp sound.

Under the cedars, Zhu Yunwen covered his head tightly with his hands, and his eyes glared angrily at Sun Cheng, who suddenly pumped his head.

"What are you doing!"

Sun Cheng looked at him firmly and said: "I thought you were suffering from hysteria, there is no imperial doctor here, and there is not even medicine." I'm afraid that you are really hysterical, and it will cause the camp to roar and the soldiers to mutiny. ”

And for good reason.

Zhu Yunwen nodded, endured the pain in his head, and shrunk his hands under his crotch.

"I think there is."

After half a ring, Zhu Yunwen nodded again, and said in an affirmative tone.

But Sun Cheng hesitated and began to reflect on whether there was such a place in this world.

From ancient times to the present, the people of the Central Plains know best about the Western Regions and the Taixi Kingdoms.

As long as you pass through the Western Regions, there will be many kingdoms in the west.

But the east?

Except for the Yingzhou in the middle of the East China Sea, there is only the vast ocean left.

Zhu Yunwen said at this time: "We must firmly believe that there is a new land on the other side of that frozen strait.

Because only this new land exists, then there will definitely be a lot of things that the Central Plains do not have.

Simplest, what if we found a more productive crop? What if we found a poultry that was easier to raise?

In addition to that, if we find endless gold and silver mines.

No matter which one it is, for us Daming, it is all earned.

As long as the news is sent back to the sky, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be able to build a more majestic sea ship, crush the huge waves on the sea, and go all the way east to that land. ”

This time, it was Zhu Yunwen's turn to say that what he said was full of truth.

Sun Cheng nodded suddenly.

And Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Si, who was already carrying a pot full of snow.

Zhu Yunwen suppressed his voice and said: "And the most important thing now is that we must firmly believe that there is that land, because we can't do without these soldiers to escort us." ”

Once the people in the team began to question the authenticity of the existence of that land.

What will happen to the whole team?

Zhu Yunwen looked at Sun Cheng, and Sun Cheng fell into thought.

When that happens, in this place far away from the imperial court, or even far away from the border gates. No one can guarantee that these soldiers will choose to follow their orders and continue to advance.

There is a great possibility of stopping, or even returning to Kannai.

What's even more dangerous is that these people can kill him Sun Cheng and Zhu Yunwen here without believing that there is no such land, and then return to Guannai.

Because of the distance.

It is impossible for the imperial court to send people to search for their bodies in this boundless and directionless snow forest.

Yu Gong.

A new land is of great significance to Daming.

Privately.

It's about whether they can survive or not.

Sun Cheng's gaze gradually became firm.

He looked at Xiao Si who came over with a smile on his face, and raised his voice and said, "The pot is placed here, you tell the brothers below that if you persist in it, we will be able to see the frozen strait!"

After crossing the strait and going south, we will find new land.

When the time comes, His Royal Highness Taisun promised to give us officials, gold and silver, will have everything! ”

Xiao Si happily turned around and spoke.

Sun Cheng silently looked back at Zhu Yunwen, who had already begun to boil water.

It seems that I shouldn't know this person.

Ever since I met him, I thought I would now follow him in the ice and snow, looking for the new world where I don't know where it is.

I don't know if my position in Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Zhenfu was robbed by others after I returned to Beijing.

When he was on the Yellow River, he should have let Tian Mai follow Zhu Yunwen and go back by himself.

Anyway, Tian Mai is a secret guard, and he is an unsightly thing.

It doesn't matter if there is one more by the grandson's side and one less than him.

Only by standing in the position of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu can he play a greater role.

Instead of looking for that glimmer of hope in this seemingly endless snowy forest that never goes out, as it is now.

Zhu Yunwen skillfully set the copper kettle on the fire, waiting for the snow to melt and turn into hot water.

He sat down again and took the initiative to pull the sheepskin cushion on Sun Cheng's lap onto his lap.

Then he said, "I have an idea, I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?" ”

Sun Cheng wanted to say that he was not interested in hearing what Zhu Yunwen thought.

But he was really afraid that Zhu Yunwen would suddenly become hysterical.

After seeing Sun Cheng nodding, a smile appeared on Zhu Yunwen's face.

"If, I mean if."

"If we do set foot on a new continent in the near future."

"So, is it possible to show that there are not many people in that new continent, otherwise it would be impossible for the people of the Central Plains to never know about the existence of that continent. After all, thousands of miles away in Europa, people can come to trade, and even that Fan worm has become an official of my Ming Dynasty. ”

As Zhu Yunwen spoke, his eyes showed a ball of heat, and his palm also tightly grasped Sun Cheng's arm.

Sun Cheng didn't know where this guy was sick, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Zhu Yunwen continued: "A new continent, a new continent without many people. Does that also show that as long as we find it first, it means that God has given us the Great Ming? Can't we let that new world fall into the hands of foreign people? Isn't it time for us Ming people to be the masters of the new continent? ”

"You want to be on your own!"

Sun Cheng's eyes widened, and he felt as if he understood Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.

He still has such ambitions!

Sun Cheng's eyes involuntarily showed a trace of murderous aura.

As long as Zhu Yunwen really has such ambitions, then he will not be able to fulfill the Taisun's entrustment, and he will kill Zhu Yunwen in this vast snowy forest, and then he will continue to look for the new continent with others, or return to Yingtian on the spot and plead guilty in front of the Taisun.

Zhu Yunwen didn't seem to notice it.

Instead, he said more and more urgently: "A new continent! A new continent no less than the Central Plains! Do you know what that means?

That means that I, Daming, will truly dominate this world! We all know that the Central Plains is not the only corner of the world, the extreme west has been occupied by many countries, and it is also very difficult for the Central Plains people to conquer.

At that time, it was as strong as Genghis Khan, and he did not hold the territory he fought in the extreme west.

But the New World is different, as long as we are one step ahead, when we find and confirm it, we will immediately send a message to respond to the sky. Whether it's walking along our path or building big ships to cross the oceans.

As long as the court supports us, we can continue to migrate people there. ”

It turns out that he is fighting for the Ming Dynasty to dominate this world.

Sun Cheng blew away the wisp of murderous aura in his heart, and then set it up, and when everything Zhu Yunwen said was true, he nodded.

But then he immediately said: "But the road is too far away, and unlike Jiaozhi Road, it borders me towards Guangxi Road." There are no people in that New World, but this long distance, even if the imperial court moves the people, it may take years to exchange news. ”

"Steamship!"

Zhu Yunwen seemed to have figured it out, and squeezed Sun Cheng's arm tightly.

"Isn't Zhang Ergong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, leading people to build the kind of steamship he said! Faster, bigger boats.

As long as Zhang Ergong continues to increase the speed of the ship and make the speed of the Ming warship faster, then there is no need to worry about the distance.

If the imperial court does not worry about the migration of the people, what accidents will happen.

I, the Ming Dynasty, can send the prince of the clan to rule the New World.

Brother Xi said at the beginning that this world is actually a circle. If he is true, then perhaps we will be able to cross the New World and reach Europa in the other direction. ”

Sun Cheng felt that Zhu Yunwen might really be hysterical.

But Zhu Yunwen was full of red light.

He was completely absorbed in his own imagination and muttered to himself.

"Daming competes for domination of the whole world!"

"Where the sun and the moon shine, all are the Ming Dynasty!"
