Transformed into a Princess of the Late Ming Dynasty: Invincible

Zhu Mianzhu sealed the letter and handed it to Zhao Yi, who was standing guard outside the door:

"Forward this letter to my father, and in the meantime, recruit a group of craftsmen in the capital who can make muskets."

Zhao Yi took the letter and said with his head down:

"I obey your command."

Zhu Mianzhu waved to Wu Cheng, signaling him to come in. When they got to the wooden house, Zhu Mianzhu sat down and said to Wu Cheng:

"Wu Cheng, I plan to let you lead these fifty people first. Although there are less than a hundred people, you will still be paid according to the salary of a centurion."

"I know my father also gives you a salary, but I promise that I can make you more. In the future, if there are a thousand soldiers, I will make you a thousand-man commander. If there are more than ten thousand soldiers, it will depend on your ability. The future here is much better than being a guard."

Wu Cheng knelt down on one knee when he heard this:

"I am willing to die for the princess"

Zhu Mianzhu floated in front of Wu Cheng and used the power of the bull talisman to help him up and sit on the chair.

There was no other way. As a palace guard, Wu Cheng was considered a 1.8-meter-tall strong man according to later generations. When he stood in front of him, he was not even up to his shoulder, so he could only fly a little, otherwise he would not be able to reach him.

"I have no intention of returning the troops I borrowed this time to Jizhou. Do you have any way to make them willingly fight for us?"

Wu Cheng sat opposite Zhu Mianzhu and said:

"We can have their families come to work in the mine. The wages here are 10% higher than elsewhere, so I think their families will be willing to do that."

"As long as their parents and children are here, even if they want to rebel in the future, they must consider their entire family."

When Zhu Mianzhu heard this, she smiled slightly and said:

"I'll leave this matter to you. I'll provide you with enough money, food, and weapons. You just need to train them well. If we encounter the Jiannu in the future, we will have to protect our family business on your own."

"Go ahead. Those who are willing to follow us can stay and train. If they don't want to, we will let them guard the gate and patrol the mine."

Wu Cheng clasped his fists and said:

"I obey your orders."

Watching Wu Cheng walk out of the wooden house, Zhu Mianchu looked at the map of the Ming Dynasty in her mind. The Ming Dynasty was like a broken ship, leaking everywhere, and land annexation was serious.

The wealthy and powerful families own vast tracts of land but do not pay taxes. Ordinary people rent their land and work for them for free every year. Even if there is a natural disaster and the harvest fails, the rent still remains the same.

Moreover, there were too many kings. Half of the rich land in the world was in the hands of the princes of the Zhu family, and most of the rest was in the hands of the powerful families.

Zhu Mianzhu herself could not take action against them. If she did not take action against them, her men would have nothing to reward. She could only borrow Li Zicheng's knife to destroy these powerful people.

In June 1636, four months passed in a flash.

As time went by, the number of people in the valley exceeded 30,000. Zhu Mianchu never stopped recruiting people, whether they were miners, craftsmen, musket makers, or refugees fleeing the drought. As long as they were human beings, Zhu Mianchu would want them.

In the past few months, Zhu Mianzhu had replicated the spinning machine she had seen in her previous life, which allowed her to earn not only from mining but also from spinning. Since ancient times, cloth has been a hard currency and there was no worry about not being able to sell it.

If there were no income from weaving, Zhu Mianchu would not be able to support these tens of thousands of people by relying solely on mining, among whom there were two thousand professional soldiers.

Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng have now been promoted to the rank of Qianzong, each leading a thousand soldiers.

Last month, the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji, officially proclaimed himself emperor. According to the historical process, his troops would be divided into three groups and enter the vicinity of Beijing at the end of June. He had to protect his property, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain.

Their equipment and personnel were too poor, and their development time was too short, so they were far from being a match for the Qing army.

There were only more than a hundred muskets for his two thousand men. Even if he used Bi Maokang's musket drawings to make them, he could only produce more than fifty muskets with full effort in a month. He still lacked technical talents.

In early July, after waiting for two months, the small group of Qing troops still did not reach Pinggu County. Pinggu was just a small city. Although the number of merchants and trade had gradually increased in the past two months, it still did not affect the whole world.

With the withdrawal of the Qing army led by Huang Taiji, he can develop here with peace of mind for the next few years. The peasant army in the northwest and the Qing army outside the Great Wall have nothing to do with him.

Zhu Mianzhu woke up early in the morning and found that Xiaohuan and Mansui were already living in the concubine room next to her. There was no other way before because it was winter and there was only one bed in the carriage.

It is the hottest time of the summer now. It is hot even if we are squeezed together. I feel embarrassed to continue asking them to warm the bed using the excuse that the weather is cold.

Zhu Mianzhu looked at the wooden sculpture beside the bed. It was the same height as herself, but its facial expression was stiff.

After breakfast, Zhu Mianzhu said to Man Sui who was standing beside her:

"Man Sui, go call Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng over."

Man Sui replied:

"Yes, Master"

After a while, Man Sui came over with Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng.

Zhu Mianzhu said to the two of them:

"Sit left or right"

"I asked you to come here this time to expand the army. Currently, each of you commands a thousand people. This time, I want to expand the army to ten thousand, which means each of you will command five thousand people."

"You can give official positions to those in your previous unit as appropriate."

"I require all troops using muskets to slowly train over the next few years, training everyone to become sergeants and squad leaders. If the army is expanded again, they will be the new sergeants and squad leaders."

"obey"

"obey"

Zhu Mianzhu watched Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng walk out of the gate, then said to Man Sui beside her:

"Man Sui, I recently saw a teacher teaching children to read. You should go and learn to read too. Then you won't have to help me tidy up my bedding every day for the next few years."

Man Sui's eyes suddenly turned red, and she fell to her knees and cried:

"Master, Man Sui did something wrong, please don't chase him away."

Zhu Mianzhu used her telekinesis to pull Mansui up:

"You should learn to read and do some math in the next two years so that you can help me."

Zhu Mianzhu floated up and pinched Mansui's little face. Compared with before, she had gained some weight.

"This is the master's mission, you are not allowed to refuse."

"Xiao Huan, you go too, you are not allowed to refuse."

After finally driving the two maids away, Zhu Mianchu took out her puppet from the bedroom and placed it on her main seat.

You may not be able to detect the puppet's incarnation if you come into contact with it for a short time, but after a long time, you will find that the puppet has no expression and no emotions, just like a machine, which is too fake.

So Zhu Mianchu had to drive the two little maids away and not let them stay too close to the puppet incarnation for a long time.

As Zhu Mianzhu used the power of the sheep talisman, a trace of her soul was separated, and a mini version of Zhu Mianzhu appeared from her forehead, lying on the puppet. Because the puppet was still a dead object, the soul was just lying on the puppet.

Then he used the power of the rat spell to animate the puppet. As the puppet turned into a living creature, the mini version of Zhu Mianzhu merged into the body of the puppet. Now it should be called a human puppet. Because of its extraordinary power, it looks exactly like Zhu Mianzhu.

Except for the fact that her expression does not change, her appearance is exactly the same as Zhu Mianzhu's. It feels like the perspective is divided into two at this moment.

Okay, everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged.

Zhu Mianzhu changed into a linen dress, a pair of cloth shoes, and wore a gray headscarf, modeled after the people in the Middle East who wore white cloth on their heads.

Why change into linen clothes? It’s because you can’t show off your wealth in front of others. Pretending to be poor will reduce the risk of being noticed by others. Life is what matters!

It’s fine if I bully ordinary people in Ming Dynasty, but in the world of Genshin Impact, if I meet the holder of the Eye of God, I have to be careful. After all, my physical body cannot withstand elemental damage. If I am attacked by surprise, I will be doomed.

As Zhu Mianzhu touched the world channel in her mind that represented the world of the original God, a ripple appeared in the space around her, and her body instantly turned into a red ball, flying towards the outer universe at a speed faster than the speed of light.

Let’s go!

A red light flashed, and in the huge rock abyss, one meter above the Cinnabar Cliff, a red ball suddenly appeared through space, followed by a human figure, Zhu Mianzhuo, who fell directly from the sky in a lying position.

Bang, I fell on all fours on the grass, opened my eyes and watched the crossing process, it was just like motion sickness, but much more serious than motion sickness.

Before fainting, Zhu Mianzhuo recalled the scene she had just seen: a giant starship traversing the universe and piercing a star with a single shot. This thing was much more useful than a spell, so cool...

As the crickets chirped, Zhu Mianzhu slowly opened her eyes and woke up. When she looked up, she saw a sky full of stars. The stars here were brighter and more numerous and denser than those in the Ming Dynasty world, like the Milky Way hanging in the sky.

At night, you can also clearly see the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the huge tornado in the west.

After lying down for a while and recovering her strength, Zhu Mianzhu stood up and observed the surrounding environment. On the right was a big hole on the ground, which was bottomless. On the left was an endless forest, and many hollow yellow spots could be seen in the forest.

Liyue on the right, Xumi on the left.

Zhu Mianzhu sensed the power of the talisman. In this world where gods exist, the space is extremely stable. She squatted down and stamped her feet, feeling the heaviness of the earth.

I'm afraid that the Bull Talisman can no longer destroy mountains as easily as it did in the Ming Dynasty world. I feel like there is an ochre-colored force blessing the earth and mountains.

According to the memories of the previous life, Liyue is on the right and Xumi is on the left. There are still gods living in Liyue, so it is not easy to deal with.

Zhu Mianzhu was looking at the Sumeru Forest from the Cinnabar Cliff. At the highest point of the rock abyss, one could see a large green forest of Sumeru, dotted with dense yellow spots.

Is this the dead zone? Although I am still young, I don't want my vitality to be sucked away. If there are any sequelae, I will be doomed.

There are no strong people on Xumi, and the performance of the little auspicious grass king is relatively weak in the plot, so it’s you. Zhu Mianzhu turned around and walked to the left.
