Han Dynasty Palace.
Yang Shiqi, Huang Huai and others were overjoyed, and for the first time they had a good impression of His Highness the King of Han.
It is true that they were expelled from the center of the court and even exiled to barbarian lands overseas!
But Prince Han of the Supervisory State did not beat them to death with a stick. Instead, he gave them a great opportunity to return to the court!
In the Xuanwei Division of Jiugang, rice is harvested three times a year. Based on this alone, the two of them saw hope.
As long as the old port is well managed and built into another land of fish and rice, and food can be continuously transported back to the Ming Dynasty through Zheng He's fleet, this will be a great achievement!
When the time comes, who can stop them from returning to court?
However, just when the two were happy, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke and poured cold water on them.
"You two, don't be too happy. The king asked you to go to Nanyang, not just for an old port!"
Hearing this, Yang Shiqi was stunned, and Huang Huai was immediately confused.
Not for an old port?
Is it possible that you still want to annex the entire Nanyang? !
Yang Shiqi trembled and looked at Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu in shock.
The Han prince who oversees the country has a bit too much appetite.
If Yang Shiqi remembers correctly, the Prince of Han also met with Zheng He and the three of them years ago and planned to let them go to the Japanese country to attack the Japanese country!
Now the King of Han ordered the two of them to go to the old port of Nanyang to announce the administration. Was this the beginning of planning for Nanyang?
"Your Highness, King of Han, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"You'll understand later, I guess they're coming soon!" Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer directly, but dropped a piece of news.
Anyone else coming?
Yang Shiqi and Huang Huai looked at each other, and everyone could see the solemnity in the other's eyes.
Going to Old Port to govern, this job may not be as simple as they imagined!
Soon Zheng, Wu Xuan, Wang Jinghong and others came hand in hand. When they saw Yang Shiqi and Huang Huai, the three of them were a little surprised.
After all, Yang Shiqi and Huang Huai are die-hard princelings. How could they appear in the palace of the King of Han?
Zhu Gaoxu noticed their strangeness, smiled and comforted him: "Take a seat first, I called you here because my king's "Kandu Map" has finally been completed, and you are lucky enough to see a real world!"
Everyone: "???"
What?
The real world?
"Atlas of All Nations"?
Zheng He and the other three looked happy. After all, they had heard the news from the King of Han, so they had been looking forward to it.
But Yang Shiqi and Huang Huai were stunned on the spot, with confused expressions on their faces.
Until Zhu Ba ordered someone to bring up a giant Kantu map, the two of them just glanced at it and then stood stunned on the spot, their eyes suddenly widened.
On this giant map, Middle-earth, which was supposed to be at the center of the world, was actually just on the right side of a continent!
And there are actually seven continents like this, separated by the ocean!
The vast Ming Dynasty only occupies a small corner of the "Kanyu Map", just like a small corner of the Song Dynasty!
To the west of the Ming Dynasty, there was the Tamerlane Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and a number of small countries further west...
Looking at the unworthy map in front of them, Yang Shiqi and Huang Huai were stunned, and countless questions flooded into their minds.
Where did these countries come from?
Why did the huge Ming Dynasty only live in a corner on the east side of this map?
Isn't it "Zhongtu is in the middle, surrounded by Yinghai"?
There is such a vast territory in the Western Region and the lands to the west?
And how could the Tamerlane Khanate have such a terrifyingly vast territory?
What does it mean that the Ottoman Empire to the west is showing its teeth and claws on the Kanyu map?
…
Countless doubts filled their minds. This huge shock and impact almost made the two of them lose their minds and go completely crazy.
"This...this...is impossible!"
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Unsurprisingly, the two of them subconsciously shouted that it was impossible and were not willing to accept this cruel reality.
Zhu Gaoxu was not angry, after all, he could understand the two people's current mood.
Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also people of all dynasties have been influenced by the traditional geographical view of "China is in the middle, surrounded by the Yinghai Sea", so that they instinctively believe that the land of China is the center of the world.
Moreover, the Chinese emperors established the "Chinese-style sectarianism", which means that the monarch, as the son of Heaven, is ordered by Heaven!
In addition to the direct rule of the central land, the rest of the world is also under the control and enlightenment of the emperor, and he is the co-owner of the world.
In addition, under the baptism of Confucian thoughts and speeches such as "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians", "caring for the distant people", and "advocating virtue and restraining force", the emperors of all dynasties in China did not have the ambition to dominate the world. "Not to rule the barbarians" is their traditional concept, " "To rule without governing" and "to care without governing" are their common methods!
In other words, I am better than you, but I will not bully you with force. Instead, I will influence you with kindness and make you take the initiative to recognize me as your boss!
Guarding this three-quarter acre of land in China, the emperors of the past dynasties were so happy that they couldn't hold their legs together, and they had no intention of conquering here and there.
If Zheng He and the others hadn't gone to the Western Seas to gain more knowledge, they would probably be acting like Yang Shiqi and others, being so frightened that they couldn't even speak.
After a long time, Yang Shiqi recovered from the shock and said with a bitter expression: "Your Highness, the King of Han, is the content recorded on the map...real?"
Zhu Gaoxu did not explain, but looked at Zheng He.
Zheng He immediately took out a nautical chart from his pocket and carefully handed it to Yang Shiqi.
"Master Yang, these are the charts I recorded during my three voyages to the Western Ocean. You can compare them yourself."
"I can only say that His Highness the King of Han is worthy of a map, and UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net can be called a priceless treasure of my Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Shiqi spread out the sea map and compared it with the "Wanguo Kanyu Map". He was dumbfounded again.
The contents recorded on the two pictures are quite different.
Zheng He's sea charts are more detailed, with records of small countries and even products along the way, but the content is pitifully short. After all, he has not really left Nanyang yet!
The "Wanguo Kanyu Map" produced by the Han Palace in front of me covers the entire world. The content is relatively simple, but there are no omissions where it should be.
For example, the sea routes from Zheng He's departure from Dongyang to Nanyang coincided with each other...
That means that the "Wan Guo Kan Yu Map" in front of you is real!
Yang Shiqi was dumbfounded and Huang Huai was stunned. The two looked at each other and wished they could just walk over.
The belief that they and their ancestors had believed in for generations was being forcibly torn to pieces by Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty, in an extremely brutal way!
King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, you are so poisonous!
Of course, Prince Han didn't like to coddle them.
Seeing that the two of them were not crazy, they directly explained their deep meaning.
"Perhaps you have also guessed that I am planning to lay out the Southeast Asia, from Annan to Champa, and then to the Old Port. This is a natural coastline. What you need to do is not only control the Old Port, but also this coastline!"
"I will order Zhang Fu to fully cooperate with you, Yang Shiqi and Huang Huai. The only thing you need to do is to do what you are best at, and bring a large number of literati and Confucian scholars to govern, promote your sages, and carry forward your Cheng Zhu Jing Xue!"
Two people: "!!!"
Your uncle!
The appetite of Han King Zhu Gaoxu was simply astonishing!
What he wants is not just the overseas enclave of Old Port, he wants the entire Nanyang!
"Yang Shiqi, go to Nanyang to expand your territory!"
