Zhuo Wang was beaten and kicked by a blow, his eyes were covered with black cloth and threw it into the car. He could only roughly calculate the time from the food he was put on and his hunger and sleepiness. After about two days of bumpyness, the box he was in was thrown onto the boat, with the waves very high, obviously not the canal but the sea.

After being unconscious and vomiting for several days, Joshua Chan was finally poured out of the box and carried onto the carriage. When he was finally removed from the black cloth in front of him, his eyes were almost blinded by the sunlight. Two fierce soldiers kicked his knees and made him kneel to the ground. In front of him was a vague figure, which gradually became clear.

"Emperor, Prince's Palace, Your Highness..." Tang Ruowang unexpectedly discovered that the person in front of him was the Prince of Emperor Ming, who had met in the Forbidden City. He heard that this prince was good at military affairs and was very different from the image of previous scientists. However, at this moment, the prince had a new part-time job: bandits.

"Zheng Ruowang, do you know your guilt?" Zhu Cixuan asked coldly.

"I...I don't know..." Chau Wang was sweating profusely, on the one hand, because he had been physically weak for many days, and on the other hand, because he did know the mistake he made.

Because of their special nature in this era, officials of the Lingtai and the Imperial Heavenly Prison were the targets of Class A transfer. As a famous Thai Confucian scholar, Johnson Chan, who is one of the few foreigners in the Imperial Heavenly Prison, how could he not receive the transfer order? In order to escape the recruitment, Johnson Chan hid in the cellar of believers and waited until Zhu Ciyang completely retreated from Beijing before showing up.

How could he know that Xu Dun had brought the Jinlinhui to Beijing and gained a foothold under Song Hongye's protection. On that day, Zhu Cixuan made silver in Chengtian Gate, so he naturally took no less, asking for money and people. Isn't kidnapped a Thai man easy to capture?

After Song Hongye "surrendered" to the thief, he jumped from the head of the Ministry of War to become a minister, specializing in Beijing's public security and defense. He is a typical local snake and protective umbrella.

"You are treason." Zhu Cilang said coldly.

"I know this is contrary to the virtue of loyalty, but I am a servant of God. I cannot leave the herd given to me by the Lord." Tang Ruowang responded with a heartbroken look.

"You short-sighted fool!" Zhu Cilang cursed without hesitation: "You have never thought that if I regained Beijing, what would your behavior be like! This is betrayal! I can completely let the Catholic Church disappear completely on this land! I can send weapons to the Ottomans, and even send troops to attack Europa with them! You have never felt like this before!"

Johnson Chan was shocked. He never expected that the crown prince not only had the ambition to restore the country, but also had such a world vision. He even knew that the Ottomans who believed in the Qur’an could win over.

"Your ignorance puts the entire church in danger, and the great situation created by Matteo Ricci is facing collapse." Zhu Cixuan suppressed his anger: "Should I throw you into the mine in the mountains and wait for every missionary with a cross to accompany you?"

Chau Wang was shocked. If conquering Europa was more difficult than climbing to heaven, then his personal safety is now in the hands of the prince.

"But I am a kind person." Zhu Cilang relaxed his tone, "Your old friend Wang Zheng was in Laizhou and was ordered to form the Royal Institute of Technology. With his plea, you can kneel here alive, hoping that you can know gratitude. If you can help him, I can forgive you and the sins of your church at your discretion. If you can give me some surprises, I can even allow you to enjoy the same treatment as Buddhism and Taoism. This is your last chance."

"Your Highness!" Of course, Joshua Chan was not a really stupid person. He knelt on the ground and kissed the floor tiles: "Thank you for your kindness, I am willing to pay for my timidity and greed!"

"Very good," Zhu Cixuan leaned back, "I appreciate your cannon casting ability, but that is too inefficient."

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Johnson Chan was ordered to set up a factory and cast guns with Western France, which did make it the most advanced cannons in Europe at that time. In just two years, only twenty cannons were cast. This speed was unacceptable to Zhu Cixuan. However, this was also caused by the shortcomings of materials and process. If Zhu Cixuan's "Management" and "Material Manufacturing", he should have made great progress.

Johnson Chan hurriedly said, "I will definitely work harder and expand the scale."

"Not only that," Zhu Cixuan added. "We also need to strictly screen materials and cultivate talents. The reason why I can't bear to kill you is because your knowledge makes me admire you. I hope you can teach excellent students. In my opinion, half of the contributions made by students are also the teachers."

Johnson Chan crawled on the ground again, kissing the floor tiles and expressing his gratitude.

Zhu Cilang waved his hand and ordered people to take him to find Wang Zheng, which was considered a matter of worries. It has to be admitted that the "Chongzhen Calendar" compiled by John Tsang was not a simple perpetual calendar, but an encyclopedia containing all-round knowledge such as astronomy, geography, optics, mathematics, etc. The celestial body operation records stored in the Imperial Heaven and Lingtai are also the cornerstone of the development of astronomy, which directly affects the strength of navigation capabilities.

Although some people think that it is better to pretend to be real money and silver than to load books, these rare original materials are much more expensive to Zhu Cilang than gold and silver.

Especially in Shandong, there are one of the largest gold mines in the country, Zhaoyuan Gold Mine. Now the gold mine has been excavated, but it does not belong to Zhaoyuan County, but Qixia County. Iron ore is accompanied by this gold mine. This is also one of the main reasons why Zhu Cixuan has established himself in Jiaodong. There are paths and gold, and even if there is a shortage of materials, it will not be trapped.

In order to protect and dig this gold mine, Tanning's preparation battalion was located in Zhaoyuan Mountain. This battalion was originally under the training department, responsible for training new recruits and then assigned to various troops. Zhu Cixuan decided to expand the team and form the Third Guard Battalion as soon as possible, so Tanning was directly asked to form a team, and Min Zhanlian was responsible for the training.

Xiao Tugeng's troops were placed in Jiaozhou. After the army was formed, they could directly attack Jiaoxi, connect to Nanzhili, and control the Huaihe River Basin. This would also open up the land passage from Sugang to Shandong and obtain enough high-quality steel sources. Although Shandong itself has coal and iron, they are all in Jinan Prefecture, and Zhu Cilang is not able to directly control it, so they could only let Cai Maode pass on the orders to transport Laizhou as the governor of Shandong.

On April 13, 17th year of Chongzhen, the real Dong Xueyi Department of the Dashun Army led 1,500 people to Shandong. The edict was passed to several counties in Jinan Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture, and was intercepted by Luo Yukun.

"What should I do?" Luo Yukun handed it to Chen Chong with the words on the edict.

After reading it, Chen Chong was a little confused and said to himself: It seems that he still has to urge the superiors to send a staff officer soon. How do I know what to do about this?

"There are not many others, only 1,500. I drowned him even if I urinate and suck." Luo Yukun said, "I just don't know what the superiors planned."

"Let's ask." Chen Chong hesitated.

Luo Yukun was used to Chen Chong's unintelligent appearance. What could he do? A man without eggs. He paced back and forth, raised his head and thought, "The superior asked us to pretend to be the Dashun Army, but we just wanted to defend this territory and do something that was inconvenient for the superiors. Otherwise, as I said, fight directly! If you beat him to death, you will refuse to admit his account. Yes! Just say that he was an officer and soldier! Then go to Yanzhou to finish what he told him, and the food was almost done. Let's go to Laizhou to continue to be our officers and soldiers."

Chen Chong was inspired and hurriedly said, "That's right, let's hit him first, and Li Chuang may not be able to send someone here!"

"Then fight! Tanma sent out, don't run too far this time!" Luo Yukun said.

This team of Sichuan soldiers and refugees had no military framework at all. Luo Yukun and Chen Chong were the big leaders in everyone's eyes, and everything could be decided. Luo Yukun also thought of dispatching the general manager of Sichuan soldiers to the refugee camp to control the people. However, the refugee camp could only rush with the wind. Once the opponent lined up to fight, the entire camp would inevitably flee. This kind of selling teammates and leading officials was really itchy, so naturally no Sichuan soldiers were willing to do such a job.
