The new policies of the imperial court are still being implemented.

In the past, there was strong suppression by King Zhu Ping of Qin, and now there is the momentum of the Northern Expedition to annihilate the grasslands. Local opposition to the New Deal has once again continued to decline, to the point where there is rarely any opposition.

Everyone knows.

If anyone dared to speak out against the New Deal at this time, the newly ennobled imperial soldiers would eat these people alive.

In front of the huge vested interests of the New Deal, even if the number of people who oppose the New Deal has not decreased, it is no longer effective.

On the other hand, in the DPRK and China, recently there have been questions about what kind of requirements should be adopted by officials in the future, and some turmoil has gradually arisen.

It's just that matters related to the country and the country have to be fermented slowly.

Things are always changing in Yingtian City.

But for Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng, the world seemed to have stopped for an instant and fell into an eternal state.

In the north of the Ming Dynasty, in the extreme north, which is farther away than the Northeast Nuergan map.

At this time, autumn has just begun in Jiangnan, but it is already covered with snow. Looking at it, there is only one color between the sky and the earth.

The soft goose feather snow fell from the sky desperately, and it seemed that there would never be a moment to stop.

The tall pine needle forest has been extinct for thousands of years.

Wrapped in ice and snow, it looks like an armored soldier frozen in ice.

A team of more than a thousand people supported each other in the snow forest and headed north.

Lines of white air came out of the mouth, and in the blink of an eye they drifted into the distance along with the biting cold wind.

Zhu Yunwen, who was in the first half of the team, was wrapped in layers of clothes. He wore a cotton-padded jacket and a coat made of whole sheepskin unique to the north.

The thick sheepskin hat became even heavier because it was close to the mouth and nose, and because of the falling snow above the snow forest.

His hands were wrapped in a rough-stitched sheepskin, and he held a pine stick in his hand.

Beside him was Sun Cheng, who was walking hard in the snow with an Xiuchun knife wrapped in cotton cloth as a support.

The temperature here was so cold that few people in the team were willing to speak all day long.

Whenever you open your mouth, the biting cold wind will rush from your mouth into your body. It makes people feel that their internal organs will be frozen in the next moment.

"Let's rest here, find a shelter from the wind, and camp here tonight."

Zhu Yunwen held down his hat and observed the surroundings for a while, then spoke with some difficulty.

His voice was very small, but it was heard by everyone in the team.

In fact, there is no other sound here except the wind.

It seemed that apart from them, there was no other living thing in this continuous snow forest.

Sun Cheng nodded, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yunwen and walked to the side, where there was a leeward spot where several fallen cedars were piled up.

The officers and soldiers in the team finally breathed a silent sigh of relief.

In such an environment, even if they were the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty in the past and could march hundreds of miles in a day, here even just walking twenty or thirty miles would feel like a torture.

If it hadn't been for the unacceptable reward offered by His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, no one would have been willing to give up the glorious moment of returning to the capital after conquering the grassland and being welcomed by the whole city.

The officers and soldiers began to spread out in the snow forest, proceeding as they had done after each break.

Some people went to collect firewood, while others looked for wild vegetables hidden under the snow.

Others began to cut down trees to surround the camp, and then piled snow on top to build a temporary camp.

The tent was built in the middle of the camp surrounded by these trees and snow.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng had just sat down.

His personal soldier, Xiaosi, who was originally an officer and soldier in the fort at the border of the Great Wall, immediately took out a copper pot, walked to a distance to extract the clean snow, and later melted it into hot water.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the wool mat, his eyes a little solemn.

"Sun Cheng."

Sun Cheng, who was taking out another wool mat and preparing to cover his and Zhu Yunwen's legs, was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Zhu Yunwen in confusion.

Zhu Yun shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "Tell me, is the place that the third child mentioned located? Is there that frozen strait in the far north? Is there that legendary land on the other side?"

Sun Cheng raised his head and looked around.

As far as the eye can see, there is nothing else except cedars covered with snow.

And he has been watching this scene for a month or two.

Apart from these, there is nothing else.

Sun Cheng shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know either, but I believe that as long as we look in the right direction, we will definitely be able to find a piece of land that was previously unknown."

Zhu Yunwen smiled silently, shook his head and said: "Tell me, were there gods before ancient times? Otherwise, how did the rumored survivors of the Yin Shang know that there would be a land similar to the Central Plains on the other side of the sea.

Sun Cheng, if there are no gods, there really is such a land, and there are survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties on it, and they really migrated there. So how did they know about that land? Who told them? And

Who brought the news here and circulated it to this day?”

Sun Cheng opened his mouth, but he really couldn't answer these questions for Zhu Yunwen.

then.

Snapped!

In the snow forest, there was a crisp sound.

Under the cedar, Zhu Yunwen covered his head tightly with both hands, and stared angrily at Sun Cheng who suddenly slapped his head.

"What are you doing!"

Sun Cheng looked firmly and said: "I thought you were suffering from hysteria, but there is no imperial doctor here, not even medicine. I'm afraid that if you are really hysterical, it will cause the camp to roar and the soldiers to mutiny."

The reason is very good.

Zhu Yunwen nodded, endured the pain in his head, and put his hands under his crotch.

"I think there is."

After a while, Zhu Yunwen nodded again and said with certainty.

But Sun Cheng hesitated and began to reflect on whether there was such a place in the world.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! From ancient times to the present, what the people of the Central Plains know best is the Western Regions and the Western countries.

As long as you pass through the Western Region, there will be many countries in the west.

But east?

Except for Yingzhou in the middle of the East China Sea, there is only the vast ocean.

Zhu Yunwen said at this time: "We must firmly believe that there is a new land across the frozen strait.

Because only this new land exists, there will definitely be many things that are not found in the Central Plains.

At its simplest, what if we found more productive crops? What if we found a poultry that was easier to raise?

In addition to this, if we find endless gold and silver mines.

No matter which one it is, it is profitable for us in Ming Dynasty.

As long as the news is sent to the sky, with Ming's current national strength, it will definitely be able to build more majestic ships, crush the huge waves on the sea, and reach that land all the way east."

This time, it was Zhu Yunwen's turn to say something that was full of truth.

Sun Cheng nodded his head up and down.

Zhu Yunwen, on the other hand, looked at Xiaosi who had already walked over with a pot full of snow.

Zhu Yunwen suppressed his voice and said: "The most important thing now is that we must firmly believe that there is that land, because we cannot live without the escort of these soldiers."

Once the people in the team began to question the authenticity of the existence of that land.

What situation will the entire team face?

Zhu Yunwen looked at Sun Cheng, who was lost in thought.

When that happens, in this place far away from the court and even far away from the border, no one can guarantee that these soldiers will still choose to follow their orders and continue to move forward.

It is very possible to stop or even return to the customs.

What's even more dangerous is that these people can kill Sun Cheng and Zhu Yunwen here, and then return to the pass, if they firmly believe that that land does not exist.

Because of the distance.

It is impossible for the imperial court to send more people to search for their bodies in this boundless and directionless snow forest.

Yu Gong.

A new land is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

In private.

It depends on whether they can survive or not.

Sun Cheng's eyes gradually became firmer.
