After Qin Liangyu returned to the Starting City, he immediately returned to Zhu Rong's side.
Seeing that Qin Liangyu had returned so quickly, Zhu Rong asked with a faint smile,"
"How is it? How did it go?"
Qin Liangyu also smiled and said,"
"Your Highness is right. This Lan Yu's temper is really tough.”
Qin Liangyu told him everything that happened outside the city.
Zhu Rong chuckled.
"How can you be called Blue Jade if you don't have a tough temper?"
"How about this, later on the city walls, tell Blue Jade to have the Initial City submit to Great Ming.”
"However, we do not accept the management of Great Ming's officials, nor do we accept tribute or taxes. We also do not accept the Great Ming's imperial court's arrangements for us. If the imperial court is willing to accept the existence of the Starting City, they will accept our autonomy.”
Qin Liangyu said worriedly,"
"What if Lan Yu doesn't accept these?”
Zhu Xiong said without any pressure,"
"Then let Blue Jade fight. Are the 100,000 soldiers in the city useless?”
Qin Liangyu nodded and said in a low voice,"
"Alright, I know what to do.”
……
Soon, Qin Liangyu stood on the city wall again and waved his hand!
On the Starting City, the fifty thousand soldiers drew their bows and readied their arrows.
Lan Yu raised her head and frowned at Qin Liangyu,"
"Young lady, are you trying to go against my Great Ming Imperial Court?”
Qin Liangyu said calmly,"
"Our City Lord has just said that there is no problem submitting to Great Ming, but the prerequisite is that we do not accept the management of Great Ming's officials, nor do we accept tributes or taxes, nor do we accept the Great Ming Imperial Court's arrangements for us.”
"This is our condition. Otherwise, even if we start a war here, we will never compromise!”
When Lan Yu heard this, she sneered,"
"Autarchy? Not accepting the management of the Ming officials, not paying tribute or taxes? Then why would I want you to submit?”
Qin Liangyu said coldly,"
"Then there's no other way. This is our City Lord's request. If you don't agree, then bring it on!”
Lan Yu's gaze gradually turned cold. She raised her head and looked at Qin Liangyu for a long time before saying,"
"You will regret your choice today.”
After saying that, Blue Jade didn't say anything else and directly ordered,
"Turn north!"
Following that, the 100,000 Ming soldiers turned and headed in the direction of the Mongolians under the command of the flag.
After the 100,000 Ming soldiers had left, Zhu Xiong slowly walked up to the city wall.
Qin Liangyu glanced at Zhu Rong and said,"
"Wangye, looking at Lan Yu's appearance, I'm afraid she won't let this matter rest!”
Zhu Xiong said indifferently,"
"So what? What I want is nothing but time.”
"As long as I have enough time, not to mention Lan Yu, even if my biological father comes, he won't give me face! What can he do to me?"
Qin Liangyu nodded lightly and agreed.
Zhu Rong looked in the direction where the 100,000 Ming soldiers had left and smiled lightly."
"Blue Jade has been ordered to deal with the Mongolians. This is even better. We don't know how long they will fight this battle. We don't have to care about anything.”
Qin Liangyu nodded lightly and said,"
"Understood, Your Highness!"
After that, the entire Starting City was once again invested in the expansion of the city.
With Lan Yu and Song Sheng heading north to Mongolia, Zhu Xiong knew that they did not have to worry about the Mongolians finding trouble for the time being.
This was a rare opportunity for development, so Zhu Xiong naturally spared no effort in expanding the city.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Many things had happened in this month.
However, there were only three things related to Zhu Xiong.
The first was for Blue Jade's 100,000 strong army to head north.
They were approaching Northern Yuan Royal Court.
The Northern Yuan royal court, from the Khan to the people, all panicked.
After Gui Lichi and Hao Hai returned to the Imperial Court, they had a huge fight. Then, under the pressure of the Ming army, they were forced to join forces.
After some discussion, they decided to move the royal court to the desert.
Then, the Tartar tribe and the Wala tribe joined forces and formed an army to harass the Blue Jade army and stop their progress.
Gui Lichi and Hao Hai led the Great Han Bei 'er Zhijin and the remaining warriors to flee north.
On the second day after they escaped from the Imperial Court, Blue Jade's 100,000 strong army had already killed their way to the Imperial Court.
? The Mongolian cavaliers that were harassing the Blue Jade Army were unable to stop the Blue Jade Army's advance.
On the contrary, they suffered heavy casualties.
Blue Jade had missed in the royal court. How could she be willing? Without another word, she led the army and chased after the Mongolians.
This chase lasted for nearly a month.
Originally, he was about to catch up to Gui Lichi and the others.
However, he didn't expect that the heavens would be unpredictable.
A sandstorm directly caused Lan Yu to lose track of Gui Lichi and the others once again.
At this time, they had already ventured deep into the desert, and it was very difficult to replenish their rations.
Helpless, Blue Jade could only order the retreat.
The other matter was Zhu Rong's substitute.
After Zhu Xi's substitute returned to Jinling, the first thing he did was bring her to the palace.
Faced with Old Zhu's interrogation, Zhu Rong's substitute completely acted out what it meant to not know anything.
When Old Zhu saw Zhu Xi's substitute, he didn't know what to ask and shirked the responsibility.
In a fit of anger, he sent Zhu Rong's substitute into the Imperial Clan Court and imprisoned him for a period of time to scare his son and see if he could get anything out of him.
Zhu Xi's substitute had once successfully demonstrated what an honest child was.
He stayed in the Imperial Clan Court for half a month without making any noise or complaining.
This time, even Old Zhu was starting to doubt himself.
After another half a month, Zhu Xiong's substitute was released.
However, Zhu Rong's substitute was not allowed to return to his fief. Instead, he was left in the capital by Old Zhu.
Old Zhu decided to observe his son for a while more.
Before confirming that there was no problem with his son, he did not intend to release Zhu Xiong's substitute back to his fief.
The last matter, the matter of the Starting City, was reported by Lan Yu to Old Zhu.
Old Zhu was also shocked by the appearance of the Starting City.
Thus, he sent officials to the Starting City to discuss.
Old Zhu felt that since they were Han people.
Then he would reason with them first.
If they did not accept the court's reasoning, it would not be too late to use force.
Twenty days after learning about the existence of the Starting City, a group of envoys set off from Jinling and headed towards the Starting City.
Zhu Rong was not clear about these things.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because in Zhu Rong's mind, expanding Starting City and mass-forging the improved crossbows were his top priority.
Starting City was completely completed on the twenty-eighth day after Zhu Xiong expanded the city.
A true giant city that covered an area of 50 square kilometers, with walls that were 15 meters tall and 5 meters wide was officially completed.
At the same time, the modified Yuanrong Crossbows were also in the Initial City. Fifteen days after the expansion, they officially entered the mass production stage.
