"Actually, these are not the key to the problem." Chu Ren said this, and after Zhuoyue digested it for a moment, he changed his mind and continued.

"Oh?" Zhuoyue looked at Chu Ren in confusion. He suddenly realized that he could not see through this young man.

The problems of the Great Chu are nothing more than food shortage caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters caused by officials. What else can be found besides this?

"Da Chu, there is trouble, it's a huge trouble." Chu Ren said softly. Except for Jin Cheng beside him and Zhuo Yue in front of him, he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying in the cold wind.

"A huge trouble? External trouble? Impossible!" In addition to internal trouble, it can only be external trouble. Excellence has thought about the countries around Da Chu for a while, but he doesn't think anyone can bring trouble to Da Chu.

Luo Sha was a little troublesome, but fortunately, Yuxi Dixian came forward and scared Gui Ji away. Luo Sha the Duke of Hei Shui retreated. Now Liaodong is just a disease of ringworm, so there is no need to take it seriously. With the Xiangshui Army there, there is absolutely no problem.

At that time, Zhuoyue had already made the worst plan. The Great Chu No Earth Immortal, Ghost Ji killed Cheng Liang, the Xiangshui Legion, and the Xiangshui Legion became a mess. Even so, the final result was nothing more than giving in to a thousand miles. With a Black Water Duke, he had no courage to invade Da Chu in full.

The Golden Duke of the North, Andong, should only contain the Northern Legion. It is a grassland and does not have much resources, so it is not worth fighting. The Jiuquan Legion in the Northwest faces only small countries, and the Southwest even destroyed more than 100,000 troops of forty-eight countries in one battle.

As for the Nanzhang Legion, let alone the people they faced mostly natives, and most of the chieftains had been naturalized. After several generations of evolution, many southern Maine people felt that they were Chu people.

There are no strong enemies in all directions of Great Chu.

So……

Did the enemy come from the sea?

This is impossible. Da Chu had a sea merchant. From Nanzhang to the sea and west, you can reach Qiang Du, east, and Dali, Hanzhang, and small island countries such as the Rising Sun.

A farther away, the sea ships of Da Chu are beyond the reach of Da Chu. Similarly, there are no sea ships from outside that have reached Da Chu. Hundreds of years are enough to prove that it is the farthest end that a sea ship can reach. Da Chu cannot go further and other countries cannot do it.

As for continuing to go south, someone once tried it. There was only the endless sea. The boat was walking for several months and entered the ghost sea. There was no wind on the sea and the boat could not move.

"Please say it clearly." After thinking for a while, Zhuo Yue bowed and asked.

"Map." Chu Ren said softly. Two young boys walked forward quickly, took out a roll of parchment from the bamboo tube behind him, and gently pulled it open.

This is an excellent and simplest map that has ever been seen. If there are only a few strokes and simple lines on the large parchment paper, people can't understand what they are painting at all.

Chu Ren casually pointed it on it: "This is Wuyang Mansion."

Zhuoyue looked carefully for a while and couldn't tell why it was Wuyang Mansion. However, Wuyang Mansion is the place where the prefectures of the southern Yuezhou are located among the eight prefectures of Great Chu. It is called the Dachu Maritime Transportation Center. Zhuoyue naturally knows the location of Wuyang Mansion.

"This is the city of Da Chu. There are countless islands of all sizes nearby, called the Romon Islands." Chu Ren once again gave a guide on the map.

Zhuoyue nodded slightly. He had never known where Dachu City was overseas. With this map, he could at least know the direction.

It turns out that the Romon Islands are southeast of Wuyang Mansion and south of the rising sun. The distance is not far, so why hasn't anyone discovered the Romon Islands?

"The prince is wondering why no one has arrived at the Romon Islands?" Seeing his expression, Chu Ren guessed what he was thinking.

"That's right, this place is not far from Rising Sun Island." Zhuoyue nodded and said.

"The prince was born in the inland and did not understand the sea. In the sea, there are ocean currents, monsoons, and tide fog. Even the old sea people dare not say that they know the nature of the sea. South of the Rising Sun Island, there are several ocean currents and a tide fog. Boating south from Rising Sun Island is no different from seeking death." Chu Ren said.

Seeing Zhuoyue still didn't understand, I continued to explain a few words.

Ocean currents are undercurrents under the sea, like rivers on land, but they are all water, and they cannot be distinguished by eyes. When a boat enters the ocean current, it can only follow the current. If it is not familiar with ocean currents, it is difficult to get out of trouble.

Monsoons are related to seasons, with different wind directions and different wind powers, which are very dangerous, and can also help the fleet travel far.

The tide fog is the most terrifying. It floats on the sea surface, thousands of kilometers small and hundreds of thousands of kilometers large. In the tide fog, you cannot see ten steps away and cannot locate it and will soon be lost. If you encounter tide fog, if you cannot escape in the early stage, you will basically die without life.

In addition, there are also stream islands, reefs, giant kuns, swordfish...

In short, the danger in the sea is ten times that on land. Those who are not accustomed to sea will basically not come back alive when they enter the sea.

Back then, the prince and his group were hit by ocean currents and luckily arrived at the Romon Islands. While competing for living space with the indigenous people, they explored the four directions. Over the past century, countless casualties were killed or injured, and only then did the ocean map be drawn.

Chu Ren pointed to the upper left corner of the map: "This place was originally a tide fog. In the past ten years, it has become increasingly faded. We have captured several ships in the tide fog, and all of them are darkened."

"A human with dark bodies? Is it a human or a monster?" Zhuoyue was shocked. His whole body was dark, so was it a human?

"It is indeed humans. They have language, writing, and know martial arts. In order to take those ships, we have lost a lot of manpower."

What Chu Ren said next is that excellence sounds like a legendary story. These black people, who claim to be Austrians, live in a continent covered by tide fog, with a population of hundreds of millions, including a capital city and a famous fog capital.

No one knows how long this continent has existed. The country has been founded for eight hundred years. Its history is longer than that of the Great Chu. It has a prosperous economy and lives much better than that of the Great Chu. It has a prosperous martial arts and a large number of martial artists.

Decades ago, there were constant natural disasters on the mainland, with flames erupting from the ground, and sometimes earth dragons turned over. Not to mention the river dancing, even the sea would boil.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ao Ren found that the tide and fog faded, so he worked hard to build a ship to explore further sea areas, hoping to find a land suitable for Ao Ren's survival.

In the cold wind, Zhuoyue's heart also became cold. He believed that Chu Ren would not lie to him in this matter.

"Prince, when he saw King An, he persuaded me to come to Da Chu, but I refused. But in recent years, more and more Austrian ships have appeared on the Romon Islands and have built cities on the Far Island. You should understand what this means." Chu Ren said with a bitter look on his face.

Although Dachu City is not big and has a small population, it lives much better than Dachu. It has a rich resource and can't eat enough food to feed livestock. It is full of fruits. In addition to fighting with the indigenous people, the disadvantage of being too hot is left.

But do you think Chu Ren is willing to go back to Da Chu?

With Chu Ren's shrewdness, how could he not know how difficult it would be to settle down in that position when he returned to Da Chu without any foundation?

Why bother? As long as you give Da Chu City time, population is not a problem. When you left Da Chu, there were only a few thousand people, and you lost a part of it on the sea. A group of battles with the indigenous people on the island, and in the end, there were only more than a thousand people left.

Over the past century, there were tens of thousands of people in the Great Chu, and the indigenous people had been defeated and their lives were stable. In another hundred years, the population would increase ten times or even dozens of times.

When the Ao people came, they were still testing. If the information he received was true, Da Chu City would be vulnerable to the Ao people, Da Chu City would not be able to defend it.

"Prince, even if there are only one-tenth of the Austrians, cross the sea to the Romon Islands, do you think the Romon Islands can live in them? Is the Great Chu still far away when I arrive at the Romon Islands?" Chu Ren said softly. These things are secrets. In the Great Chu City, very few people know about them.

"Your Highness thinks that the Ao people will definitely invade the Great Chu?" Zhuoyue still disbelief.

"That's inevitable, it's only about the length of time."

"The Ao people are very strong?" Zhuoyue asked, but he still didn't believe it.

Chu Ren nodded: "It's very strong, very strong. Their ships are bigger and more stable. One ship can carry hundreds of people, it is said that there are also large ships that can carry thousands of people, and... hot air balloons."

"Hot air balloon? The hot air balloon that Master Lei rides?" Zhuoyue exclaimed. The name of hot air balloon was brought to Dachu by Renault, so Zhuoyue naturally heard of it.

"That's right, Master Jin visited Master Lei and asked in detail during the chat that the hot air balloons we have seen are exactly the same as what Master Lei said." Chu Ren said with a wry smile.

When I first saw the hot air balloon, not to mention the warriors of Da Chu City, even Chu Ren was shocked. Fortunately, Master Jin was there, and a secret technique relieved the horror in the hearts of everyone in Da Chu City.

I understand, I understand.

If Chu Ren told the truth, he came to Da Chu to not only replace the throne, but also found a way out for tens of thousands of people in Da Chu City. Da Chu City could not stop the Austrians, but did not have the ability to gain a space for survival and could only retreat to Da Chu.

It can be seen that His Highness Chu Ren does have some talent. He wants to use the national strength of Da Chu to prepare to go to war with the Austrians. Regardless of whether Da Chu wants or not, when the Austrian fleet appears on the seashore of Da Chu, he will eventually fight.

"Who else knows about this?" Zhuo Yue asked.

Chu Ren shook his head slightly, and naturally he would not tell Zhuoyue that everyone who should know already knew. As for who should know, it must be up to him to judge.

"Your Highness, how do you view the Wu Prince's Mansion?" Zhuoyue asked after hesitation. No matter what changes the outside world are, what he cares most about is his own affairs.

Don’t say that you are short-sighted. No matter how nice it is, when disaster strikes, people still care about themselves.

"Come according to the rules. Da Chu has its own rules and no one can destroy them." Chu Ren said.

Zhuoyue was a little disappointed, so this was naturally not what he wanted to hear the most, but it was already good that Chu Ren could make such a guarantee. At least he was better than the old King of Chu. He always wanted to suppress the Wu King's Mansion and even go to the title of King Wu.
