Chapter 237 Xuande's Endeavour

Emperor Xuande took advantage of the situation and said: "Mr. Yang Ge is stable in holding the country and is innocent, but the territory cannot be lost. How about this? Since there is no money, then stop the money for my mausoleum first, and Jiaozhi must be taken back."

"I invite you to tune the Shenji Battalion into Jiaozhi to fight, and you will surely succeed in the first battle!" Zeng Yunfeng came out of the squad and said.

Emperor Xuande squinted his eyes at him and said, "Zunzuo, ordered the British Duke Zhang Fu to enter Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion."

Zeng Yunfeng suggested to Emperor Xuande to use the Shenji Battalion to fight abroad, especially for these infantry, the effect of the Shenji Battalion is not generally good, and the improved Shenji Battalion is now able to fight independently.

Zeng Yunfeng is extremely confident if he attacks the Mongolian army again.

The current equipment of the Shenji Battalion has even reached the world equipment level in the late Ming Dynasty. Various muskets have appeared, but because the cost is too expensive, they cannot be mass-produced, and the equipment is only about a few thousand.

But only on such a scale, it can already sweep the Nanyang countries. This time, the Shenjiying Society of the Ming Dynasty told these Nanyang countries that you can't touch the tiger's butt casually, it will kill you.

In the following time, Zeng Yunfeng often studied the situation in Nanyang with this Emperor Xuande in his palace study, and his insights opened the eyes of Emperor Xuande.

Originally, Emperor Xuande only listened to his grandfather and his father said how talented and powerful Chen Yanqing was, but he had really seen it very rarely, but after talking with him today, he felt that this person was really It is knowledgeable and broad-minded.

Seeing that the maritime image presented by Zheng He is a map like a ghost drawing, Zeng Yunfeng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I also send you a map."

The vast world unfolded by the sheepskin map was suddenly laid at the feet of Emperor Xuande.

This map was created by Zeng Yunfeng by combining many Ming books he read over the years and re-editing the names of various places. It is a real map of all countries.

In many places, changes have been made to various countries. This map is ten meters long and eight meters wide. In addition, Zeng Yunfeng also made many copies of this map.

Among them are silk cloth and sheepskin. Zeng Yunfeng just wanted to let people in this world realize how big this world is.

When Emperor Xuande saw this map, his whole world view was turned upside down, and his heart became broadened when he stepped on the map of Wan Guokun. Can you feel the feeling that the world is under your feet?

He suddenly had a lot of questions, and his thirst for knowledge was overwhelming. Zeng Yunfeng explained to him one by one.

What he found interesting about this map is that the leftmost and rightmost sides of this map are very similar, and it can even be said that the geographical location is almost exactly the same.

"Why are these two sides similar?" Zhu Zhanji pointed to the left and right sides of the map and asked in confusion.

"This world is a sphere." Zeng Yunfeng said.

"The round sky has existed since ancient times, how could it be a sphere?" Zhu Zhanji asked suspiciously.

"When a ship travels on the sea, from far to near, you must first see the mast and then the hull. It can be seen that the ocean is a curved surface." Zeng Yunfeng said
Emperor Xuande shook his head to express his disbelief, and Zeng Yunfeng brought out another gift, which was a globe.

"I don't believe it!" Emperor Xuande shook his head and said.

"The eunuch Zheng He has returned to court, Your Majesty, please come and ask." Zeng Yunfeng said again.

Zheng He will be here soon

"Minister Zheng He, see the emperor." Zheng He bowed down and said.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Zhu Zhanji quickly helped him up.

"Zheng He, let me ask you, do you see the mast but not the hull when sailing a ship at a distance?" Emperor Xuande asked.

"Indeed." Zheng He said with certainty.

"What's the reason?" Emperor Xuande asked eagerly.

"This humble minister doesn't know." Zheng He said with some distress.

"I still don't believe it, it's simply unimaginable." Emperor Xuande shook his head and said to Zeng Yunfeng.

"I have a proposal, but it is extremely difficult, and only eunuch Zheng can do it." Zeng Yunfeng suggested.

"What proposal?" Zheng He was even interested.

Zeng Yunfeng swiped on the map and said: "To sail around the world, as long as we can prove that we can return to the origin from one point to the west or east, it means that our world is round. This is an unprecedented miracle. In today's era, it will benefit thousands of years."

"If what I say is right, my Ming Dynasty will expand thousands of miles of sea and territory." Zeng Yunfeng said excitedly.

Emperor Xuande was also fascinated when he heard it, but Zheng He seemed eager to try.

"Leave this task to me, Your Majesty. According to the map, we are already halfway through." Zheng He asked directly.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Emperor Xuande said equally excitedly.

Zeng Yunfeng pointed to the map and continued: "The reason why I insist on ocean tribute trade is that there are many places beyond this vast sea that we have never seen, and many lands that have not been cultivated. Rich but sparsely populated or unpopulated."

"In the Ming Dynasty, I only need to erect a stele on it to occupy her. To expand the territory, I only need a stele and a flag." Emperor Zhengde yearned after hearing this.

Of course he was moved. If you think about it, on a piece of fertile land, you only need to sow seeds every year to harvest grain. Would you be happy?

"People without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. Now the land annexation of the entire Ming Dynasty is not particularly serious, but it has begun to show signs, especially in the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor and I have to make plans early. Expansion overseas may be the One way out." Zeng Yunfeng said.

"The fiefdoms of various vassal kings are expanding day by day, which will inevitably lead to more serious land annexation. This road may be a life-saving medicine." Zeng Yunfeng explained to Emperor Xuande in detail the important relationship between land annexation and the country's internal stability. These overseas lands will be the land in the future. An outlet for mergers.

"That's a very good statement. Elder Yang Ge has talked with me several times. The vassal king's fiefdom must be resolved, but there has been no cure. This may be a good medicine." Emperor Xuande said affirmatively.

Why do these countries always go round and round?The world has been divided for a long time and must be united, and the long-term unity must be divided. One of them is because of the backwardness and decay of the system.

Second, the population can no longer be borne by the land. The current Ming Dynasty has not reached this point, but it must be prepared for this.

Then he told Emperor Xuande his understanding of Emperor Yongle's expansion of territory to the north.

Zeng Yunfeng didn't want the Emperor Xuande to really think that these Mongolian peoples in the north were really so easy to subdue, and that they could really bind them to the land at will with products.

All these nomads want to show both kindness and power, and beat them all the time.

These Mongolian peoples in the north are like weeds. Every once in a while, people in the Central Plains have to take good care of them, otherwise they will soon grow domineering and unscrupulous.

Emperor Zhengde now agrees with Zeng Yunfeng's words very much, because he fought with his grandfather since he was a child and knows very well that these nomads are unruly and difficult to tame.

They only submit to the strong, and Zeng Yunfeng is ten years older than the Xuande Emperor.

Zeng Yunfeng should be able to live with this Emperor Xuande for a long time, if you pay attention that Emperor Xuande can live for a long time.

But what Zeng Yunfeng never understood was that the fate of these emperors in this history, especially these emperors, seems to be fixed. As long as they do certain things, they will definitely come true, and then they will be short-lived.

Zeng Yunfeng has always avoided Emperor Xuande from killing his second and third uncles.

Zeng Yunfeng has been secretly reminding Emperor Xuande that even if his second uncle and third uncle go out to rebel, no one will follow him, so he can rest assured.

The current army is no longer in the era of his second uncle and third uncle. Now it is the fifth year of Xuande, the entire Ming Dynasty, the national power is strong, even stronger than that of the Yongle Dynasty, and the country is rich.

The Cochin Rebellion in the second year of Xuande was very bloody.

The Shenji Battalion sent by Emperor Xuande destroyed the entire capital of Jiaozhi, and the artillery fire almost burned the entire capital.

The other surrounding Nanyang countries trembled at the Ming Dynasty, because they had never seen such a war, and they finally saw what the envoys of the Ming Dynasty said. .

Now the explosive bombs of the cannon and the newly developed high-explosive bombs are telling these subjects of Ming Dynasty how to behave as courtiers.

From the second year of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty to the fifth year of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, no country in the entire Nanyang region dared to attack Daming.
