"Your Highness, they've retreated!"
On the city wall, Qi Jiguang looked at the Ming army starting to retreat in an orderly manner and said respectfully to Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong naturally saw it too, but he wasn't very happy. Instead, he sighed and said,"
"I'm afraid that after this, the Starting City will be the focus of Old Zhu's attention.”
"Sigh, Lan Yu's brain is also sick. After winning the battle, he should go back and claim the credit.”
"He had to force me to slap his face until it was swollen.”
"This is great. Even if the Starting City wanted to become famous, it would be impossible.”
Zhu Xiong said helplessly.
He knew that Lan Yu would definitely tell Old Zhu everything that happened here when she returned this time.
With Old Zhu's personality, how could he allow the existence of the Initial City?
He would definitely think of a way to cause trouble.
Although Zhu Xiong currently had close to a million people and 200,000 soldiers under his command.
However, just based on this, Zhu Rong was allowed to rebel against Old Zhu.
That was definitely looking for trouble.
Most importantly, Zhu Xiong didn't want to!
It wasn't that Zhu Xi was afraid of Old Zhu.
With Zhu Rong's current strength, even if he really fell out with Old Zhu, he wasn't afraid.
His subjects were all loyal to him, as long as he gave the order.
Even if they fought to the last soldier, these subjects would not retreat.
As long as he was given enough time, no matter how powerful Old Zhu was, he would be exhausted to death.
However, why did Zhu Xiong create this?
To become the emperor? Become the Great Ming Lord?
Dear, give him three years, the number of subjects under Zhu Rong's command added up would be more than the entire Great Ming.
And they all obeyed Zhu Rong's orders.
At that time, Zhu Xi would be more like an emperor than an emperor.
Moreover, he didn't have as many worries as the emperor.
Because all his subjects were loyal to him.
It could be said that everyone was united.
He didn't need to worry about anyone who had the heart to rebel.
There was no need to worry about anyone bewitching the people and raising an army to rebel.
He didn't have to worry about anyone who would disobey him and harbor evil intentions.
The only thing Zhu Xiong had to worry about was how to develop and how to feed his subjects.
But this alone was enough to give Zhu Rong a headache.
Even though Zhu Xiong had temporarily escaped from the food crisis with the current reserves of the Initial City, he was still able to survive.
However, that was only temporary.
The number of subjects under Zhu Rong increased every day.
As time passed, the population would only increase.
The greater the population, the greater the pressure on Zhu Rong.
Zhu Yanguang was too busy worrying about the survival of his subjects.
He even went to rebel against Old Zhu and snatch people and territory from Old Zhu?
Unless Zhu Rong was out of his mind, he would not do such a thing.
So what if he snatched it?
Help Old Zhu reduce his burden and increase his own pressure?
After that, he had to think about how to feed more and more subjects.
He also had to deal with state affairs, add a burden to himself, and feed tens of millions of Ming people?
These commoners were not subjects.
His subjects obeyed his orders and attacked wherever he pointed.
The commoners couldn't. They weren't loyal to Zhu Xiong.
Zhu Rong still had to take care of their thoughts and stabilize their hearts.
He also wanted to help them.
He had to deal with the drought today, the flood tomorrow, and the locust plague the day after tomorrow.
If it was not handled well, they might lose the hearts of the people and cause them to rebel.
After handling it, they still had to distribute food to the people.
This was only a matter of natural and man-made disasters.
In the imperial court and the local government, there were countless scattered matters that needed Zhu Rong's approval every day.
In the imperial court, he still had to face all kinds of officials who were scheming against each other.
Alright, even if Zhu Xiong could handle all of this.
However, in terms of fundamentals.
Zhu Rong's rebellion was a thankless task.
If he couldn't take advantage of her, he would even get himself into trouble.
It was definitely an extremely unwise thing to do.
Therefore, instead of rebelling against Old Zhu.
It would be better for him to lead his loyal subjects and create a new world for himself.
But now, there was the matter of Blue Jade.
Zhu Rong's idea of quietly building the city was probably not going to work.
With Old Zhu's strength, how could he allow a faction like the Starting City that could threaten Great Ming to exist?
From today onwards, the entire Starting City would no longer be peaceful.
"How troublesome!"
Zhu Xiong smiled bitterly.
He knew that in the following period of time, the entire Initial City would not be able to rest.
If he wanted to completely resolve Old Zhu's threat, he could only speed up the construction of the territory.
Increase the expansion of the army.
He displayed his absolute strength so that Old Zhu did not dare to act rashly.
And to do all of this.
Zhu Xiong needed time.
Enough time!
Thinking of this, a plan slowly formed in Zhu Rong's mind.
