As history unfolds, Suo Chao bravely fought against Tsarist Russia, conquering several cities in a row. Now, to defend his new territory, he meticulously deploys troops and civilians, leaving behind a battle of honor and responsibility.

Suo Chao was wearing armor, his eyes revealing determination and courage. He stood on a high place, overlooking the city he had just occupied, his heart full of pride.

Suo Chao knew that Tsarist Russia would not give up easily, and he had to be fully prepared. He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said loudly:

"In order to strictly guard against the attack of Tsarist Russia and thoroughly digest the results of the occupied areas, I have decided to leave behind an army of 200,000, led by General Li Cunxiao, along with five million Ming Dynasty citizens." His voice was powerful and resonated in the air.

Li Cunxiao stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly:

"I will definitely live up to my mission!" There was a determination glint in his eyes, as if he was ready to face all challenges.

Suo Chao walked up to Li Cunxiao, helped him up, and said earnestly:

"General Li, the mountain defense line, river defense line, forest defense line, as well as the castles and fortresses that need to be built are now handed over to you." He stared at Li Cunxiao, full of trust and expectation.

Li Cunxiao straightened his back, nodded slightly, and said:

"Don't worry, Imperial Master. With the technology and resources you left behind, we are confident that we can defend this place." A confident smile appeared on his face, and he held the King Yu's Spear tightly in his hand.

Suo Chao looked at Li Cunxiao, feeling somewhat relieved, but still a little worried. He sighed and said:

"Cunxiao, I don't know what the fate of the new Ming Dynasty will be. The people here must not be let down. You must always put the people first in everything you do." His eyes were full of concern and worry.

Li Cunxiao looked solemn, knelt down again, clasped his fists and said:

"Don't worry, Imperial Master. I will follow your instructions." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was making a solemn oath to Suo Chao.

After Suo Chao left, Li Cunxiao immediately set about arranging a defense. He led his soldiers through the mountains, carefully surveying each pass and formulating a defensive strategy. Soldiers busily carried stones and timber to build walls and fortresses.

Li Cunxiao personally commanded the operation, paying close attention to every detail. Various traps were laid in the forest, and various fortresses sprang up like mushrooms in the mountains and rivers.

At the same time, five million Ming Dynasty citizens also actively participated in the construction. Some helped transport supplies, some cooked and washed clothes for the soldiers, and everyone worked together to defend their new home.

However, the Russian Empire did not sit idly by. They assembled a large army and prepared to launch a counterattack. A fierce battle was about to begin...

The Ming Dynasty is in turmoil. As Suo Chao retires from his post, his heart remains with the world. A new journey is about to begin, and the future of the Ming Dynasty is filled with unknown challenges.

Suo Chao, dressed in a solemn robe, slowly entered the palace. He came before the newly enthroned Emperor Zhu Cilang, bowed slightly, and said:

"Your Majesty, I am leaving." His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including reluctance and expectations for the future.

Zhu Cilang was slightly startled, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly said:

"Master, why is it so sudden?" His eyes were full of confusion and reluctance.

Suo Chao straightened his body, looked at Zhu Cilang with a firm gaze, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than three years, and fortunately I have fulfilled my mission. This trip has saved hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty and pacified the barbarians in all directions. I hope Your Majesty can treat the people of the world well." His tone was sincere and solemn, and every word was full of concern for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cilang looked solemn and said seriously:

"The Imperial Master has been so kind to the Ming Dynasty that he rebuilt it. We in the Zhu family could never repay him even if we die. I promise that the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty will always keep the people of the world in mind." His eyes were full of gratitude and respect.

Suo Chao nodded slightly and continued:

"Your Majesty, I hope that the new laws and new systems can continue to be implemented. Then, if I follow Shang Yang's example, it won't be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot." His eyes revealed a hint of worry and expectation.

Zhu Cilang said quickly:

"Master, rest assured. We will strictly follow your strategy and enhance the national strength of the New Ming Dynasty." His tone was firm and powerful, as if he was making a solemn promise to Suo Chao.

Suo Chao smiled but said nothing, a trace of worry still lingering in his heart. The sky was going to rain, his mother was going to get married, these were no longer things he could control.

Suo Chao turned and left the palace, came before the Emperor and Empress Dowager, saluted respectfully, and said:

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager!" His attitude was respectful and pious.

Chongzhen and his wife said in unison:

"No need to bow, Imperial Master." Their eyes were also filled with gratitude and respect.

Suo Chao looked at them and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, the illnesses of the four eldest princesses have been cured. This time I will only take the second princess Zhu Weiya away. She has a good talent for martial arts." His eyes revealed admiration and expectations for Zhu Weiya.

"Master, are you really leaving?" The other three princesses had tears in their eyes, their voices filled with reluctance and sadness.

Suo Chao looked at the three princesses, feeling a little guilty. He said softly:

"Princess, I am an incompetent master. I have been running around all year round. I hope you will practice diligently the medical skills and martial arts that I have passed down." His tone was full of expectation and encouragement.

"Master, don't worry. We will not let you down." The three princesses said firmly, their eyes full of determination.

After Suo Chao handed over the subsequent military and strategic tasks, he quietly left with Zhu Weiya. His figure gradually disappeared in the distance, leaving behind a silence and contemplation. Leaving quietly was also a kind of deterrent.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cilang and others worked hard to develop the country and strictly implemented the new laws and new systems. However, some conservative forces began to stir. They were dissatisfied with the new laws and new systems and tried to restore the old system.

Zhu Cilang faced enormous pressure. He remembered Suo Chao's instructions and firmly guarded the new law and the new system. But he also knew that this struggle would be difficult...
