Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 275 Chapter 275, Zhu Cihong threw away the shopkeeper, and Dorgon sent an envoy westward
As the saying goes, a brave man must be rewarded under a heavy reward. Zhu Cixiang's generous reward really aroused everyone's interest.

Moreover, these officials and craftsmen have all dealt with machinery for decades, and the steam engine undoubtedly opened a new door for them.

Everyone gathered around the steam engine, chatting with each other, discussing the structure of the steam engine excitedly.

Zhu Cihong didn't talk nonsense and asked those officials to come over.

"Here is a batch of books for you, you should study them carefully. By the way, all literate people can get a set."

The books issued by the system are read horizontally from left to right according to modern writing standards, which does not conform to the reading habits of this era.

But Zhu Cihong only needs to give an order, and a batch of books in line with Ming's reading habits can be printed in minutes.

This is the benefit of being a prince.

As for some of the physics terminology in it, it can only be experienced by these guys slowly.

Looking at the cart of books in front of them, the officials and craftsmen present were a little dazed.

After studying the equipment well, why did you arrange for textbooks?

Zhu Cilang said earnestly: "You don't understand, science and technology are the primary productive forces. From now on, you will study steam engines here during the day, and go back to study hard for me at night. When the things are produced, I will discuss merit As a reward, the one who ranks first will receive 100 taels of silver!"

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone's breathing suddenly became heavy.

One million taels of silver is enough to buy an enviable house in the capital.

Everyone immediately expressed their opinions as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I must read the book carefully!"

"Reading is the love of my life!"

"The villain will study this mechanical structure carefully!"

Zhu Cihong left very satisfied.

Fang Gongqian followed Zhu Cihong, and said, "Your Highness, are the records in these books secret?"

Zhu Cihong said: "It's classified as a secret, but it's not counted."

If something like knowledge appears in the hands of the right person, it will naturally soar into the sky, but if it falls on an illiterate person who cannot read, it will be a pile of toilet paper.

Fang Gongqian felt awe-struck for a while and said hurriedly: "Then the servant will send someone from Dongchang to keep an eye on them secretly?"

Zhu Cihong hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yes. But remember, as long as these people are not found to have contact with foreigners to leak secrets, you don't need to pay too much attention to daily communication."

The current Ming Dynasty actually does not have many exchanges with foreign countries, especially with the capital. Coupled with the language and written communication barriers, Zhu Cixiang is not very worried about this matter.

Just after returning to the prince's palace, Luo Yunyao appeared.

"Your Highness, you are back!" Luo Yunyao looked joyful, and she took Zhu Cihong's hand as soon as she came up: "Quick, come with me."

Zhu Cilang was stunned for a moment, then walked hand in hand with Luo Yunyao, and soon came to the inner hall.

There is a table here, with some needles and threads on it, Luo Yunyao took out a small piece of cloth from the table, and said with a smile: "Husband, do you know what this is?"

Zhu Cixiang hesitated for a few seconds, then subconsciously glanced at Luo Yunyao with a strange smile: "Could it be..."

Luo Yunyao paused for a few seconds, feeling overwhelmed, and said angrily, "What are you thinking about, Your Highness? Take another look!"

Zhu Cihong laughed loudly, examined it carefully, and finally understood: "Is this the child's clothes?"

Luo Yunyao smiled and said, "It's the bellyband that the concubine wove for the child."

Zhu Cihong was both surprised and delighted: "My concubine, could it be that you... have it?"

Luo Yunyao blushed and shook her head again and again, but remained silent.

Only then did Zhu Cihong understand, and said seriously, "Woman, you are playing with fire!"

After the words fell, Zhu Cixiang reached up to his waist, picked up Luo Yunyao and walked towards the big bed not far away.

Qing Dynasty, Shengjing City.

Dorgon stared at the two courtiers in front of him, and said slowly: "You two, you must show respect to Gushi Khan this time. Our Qing Dynasty has always talked about the joint rule of the Manchu and Mongolian world. Mongols and Manchus are one family, understand?"

The envoy Rosh and deputy envoy Fan Wencheng appointed by Dorgon naturally nodded when they heard the words.

Dorgon said to Rosh: "Rosh, you are a rough man, this time you go to Qinghai, remember to take Mr. Fan's opinion as the main point, don't be impulsive in everything, understand?"

Luo Shi was a man in his forties who looked quite calm. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I naturally know."

Dorgon turned his head again, smiled at Fan Wencheng, and said, "Mr. Fan, this trip to Heshuote, please take care of me."

Fan Wencheng looked terrified, and hurriedly said: "Master's words are serious. If this slave goes to Heshuote, he will definitely persuade Gushi Khan to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty in the next spring, and vent his anger on the Qing Dynasty!"

Dorgon laughed and said: "Then I will be waiting in Shengjing City to celebrate Mr. Fan!"

After a while, the Qing mission led by Luo Shi and Fan Wencheng left Shengjing City.

Dorgon stood on the city wall, watching the mission go west with some ecstasy. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Brother Wang, why do you trust these Han slaves so much? Luo Shi is an authentic Manchu who followed us to fight the country. Why should he listen to Fan Wencheng, a green hat slave?"

No need to think about it, it was Duo Duo who spoke.

Dorgon shook his head slightly and said: "Duduo, you have to know that the Han people are the largest ethnic group in the world. We Manchus, including the savage Jurchens in the north, how many can there be? One million, two million? But what about the Han Chinese in the south? There are tens of millions, even ten million of them!"

Duoduo was a little unconvinced, and said: "What's the use of having more people? It's because we can't beat our Qing Dynasty! Besides, when the Qing Dynasty takes over the Central Plains in the future, it will be the same as the Mongols back then. Go all the way and kill all the way. Kill all the bloody ones, and see who dares to resist!"

Dorgon snorted, and said: "I know how to fight and kill all day long. Do you think I don't want to go to the Central Plains to kill people? But now the Qing Dynasty really has the strength to enter and leave the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty at will?"

Duo ErGun's words stopped Duo Duo.

Duduo would like to say yes, but the fact is that the Qing Kingdom has either been rejected by Daming or defeated head-on by Daming three times in a row.

It is indeed impossible to enter the Great Ming Central Plains like before with a swagger like shopping.

Duoduo held back for a long while, and could only say depressedly: "Anyway, the interior of the Ming Dynasty is a mess, and they will mess up again sooner or later, won't they?"

Dorgon sighed, and said: "I hope so. Anyway, as long as we can unite with the Heshuote Khanate this time, even if the internal chaos of the Ming Dynasty is not chaotic, we will make it completely chaotic on the outside." , no peace!"

Dorgon knew very well that compared to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was like a wolf trying to challenge an adult giant elephant.

Only by finding more companions, biting constantly, and patiently creating wounds one after another, can we finally win!
