Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...The successful defense of the Kingdom of Women against the Kingdom of Chechi can be considered a great military success for the Kingdom of Women.
This news spread quickly, and all the western countries were shocked when they heard the news.
In fact, the western countries underestimated the Ming Dynasty and overestimated the Chechi Kingdom.
The reason is that, although they understand that the Ming Dynasty is very powerful, they feel that the Ming Dynasty is ultimately only located in the east and it is difficult for it to interfere in the affairs of the west.
The western kingdom of Chechi is very powerful. If Chechi wants to attack the Kingdom of Women, even if the Ming Dynasty provides a certain number of weapons, it probably won't have much effect.
However, they never expected that the Kingdom of Women was surrounded by the Zimu River, making it a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
To attack such a place, one must travel by boat, which concentrates the target too much, and the consequence of this concentration is becoming an easy target.
Furthermore, there was nothing to cover the river surface. The attacking soldiers from Chechi Kingdom had nowhere to hide or take refuge. Even if they wanted to escape, they had to consider the speed of their boats.
But the river is so vast, it certainly wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time.
Therefore, the Women's Kingdom only needs to set up their weapons in a concealed place on the opposite bank of the river, and they will have enough time to intercept the Chechi Kingdom soldiers who want to come ashore and pose a threat to the Women's Kingdom.
After all, this gun can kill an enemy with a single bullet, and they can fire a dozen shots to kill a dozen enemies in a short period of time.
However, after those dozen or so shots were fired, the enemy might not get much closer. This created a very advantageous situation for the Women's Kingdom, given their favorable geographical location and powerful weapons like guns.
At this critical moment, the King of Chechi Kingdom was still unaware of the seriousness of the problem. He simply believed that as long as enough soldiers were sacrificed, they would be able to get close to the Kingdom of Women.
As long as they can reach the shore of the Women's Kingdom, a small number of soldiers from the Chechi Kingdom will surely be able to rule it.
His overconfidence is truly pushing him into a blind abyss.
Thus, the King of Chechi Kingdom gritted his teeth and sent the original 60,000 soldiers, plus the 100,000 troops he had previously sent, for a total of 160,000 troops, preparing to take over the Women's Kingdom at the cost of sacrificing tens of thousands of soldiers.
Therefore, the army of Chechi Kingdom once again gathered outside the Zimu River in the Kingdom of Women.
However, at this moment, in the Kingdom of Women, the Queen looked at Zhu Yunwen sitting below and thought to herself that with such a powerful ally, the Kingdom of Chechi would probably have a hard time dealing with the Kingdom of Women.
Thinking of this, she had some other ideas. When faced with a powerful figure, the Women's Kingdom naturally hoped to cling to his coattails forever.
Because of Zhu Yunwen, she understood a principle: a women's kingdom cannot become strong by relying solely on women.
It is very difficult to resist external enemies.
There are two options: one is to gradually give power to the men of the Women's Kingdom, allowing them to gradually assume some of the responsibilities that their bodies are capable of bearing.
However, one consequence of this is that men may gradually gain power, causing the Women's Kingdom to return to the era when men held power, as it was in the Western Liang Kingdom.
If that's the case, then all the efforts made by the women of their Women's Kingdom to turn their lives around would have been in vain, wouldn't it?
Secondly, the men and women of the Women's Kingdom reached an agreement, with a clear division of labor and responsibilities for certain tasks.
However, the power of the Women's Kingdom remains unshakable, but this also carries risks.
Because the men in the Women's Kingdom are now too complacent, if they are not offered the greatest incentive but only asked to take on certain responsibilities, they may not be willing to do so.
Moreover, even if a clear division of labor is agreed upon, men may still regain power, and the Queen and the higher-ups of the Women's Kingdom are still unwilling to take such a risk.
Previously, she thought there was no solution, and thought that if these two methods really didn't work, she could try them.
But now it has been discovered that Zhu Yunwen, this one man, is probably worth as many men as the entire Women's Kingdom.
Even more exaggerated.
If that's the case, then rather than letting the other men in the Women's Kingdom rise again, turn the peasants around and sing their praises, and oppress these women.
It would be better to place all our hopes on Zhu Yunwen, since even if we were to count all the male labor force and fighting power in the Women's Kingdom, they might not be that strong.
In any case, he is definitely not as powerful as Zhu Yunwen.
So why not just cling to Zhu Yunwen's coattails?
As long as Zhu Yunwen supports the Women's Kingdom in the long term, and as long as the Ming Dynasty supports the Women's Kingdom in the long term.
Therefore, the Women's Kingdom would still be ruled by women, and they would no longer have to worry about foreign invasion.
Although it is difficult to develop heavy industry in China, as long as light industry is developed and money is spent to purchase heavy industrial products from other countries, it should be roughly the same and achievable.
Thinking of this, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom cautiously began to speak:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, look at my daughter, she is now of marriageable age, and no man in the country has yet caught her eye."
However, Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, you are exceptionally brave and valiant, like a god, and your divine might has shaken the world.
Therefore, my princess from the Women's Kingdom is even somewhat unworthy of you, but my Women's Kingdom still intends to..."
Zhu Yunwen was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile and said:
"Let's not talk about that. I already have a woman I like. I can't accept anyone else."
Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the princess, who had been somewhat excited below, suddenly became somewhat saddened.
