The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 756 The sun never sets

Xu You was sitting on a chair in Yongning Pavilion, and there was a thick pile of files on the table next to him. He had come to report the recent internal affairs, but Xu An went to inspect the military camp and Chang'an City, but had not returned yet.

Xu You picked up the teacup next to him and was not in a hurry. Now the place is stable, the development is smooth, and there are no vicious incidents in the place. Even the unsafe Jian Man in Mobei who has been jumping up and down all the time has disappeared now.

However, the reason why Jian Man calmed down was not because Lu Bu led the Xiaoqi battalion to Yanmen County, but because it was now winter, Chang'an City had already snowflakes in late October, and Mobei was now extremely cold. Arriving, it is impossible to start a war on the grassland at this time. Even if Jian Man has ten thousand thoughts in his mind, he can only stay in the tent now, waiting for the arrival of spring.

Moreover, the most important thing is how Jian Man will survive this winter.

While slowly sipping the tea in the cup, Xu You looked at a spherical object placed on the table beside him. There seemed to be many patterns drawn on the spherical object.

"Xi Lv--"

While Xu You was still focusing on the Kanyu map on the table, a horse neighed suddenly from outside the Yongning Pavilion.

Xu You put down the teacup in his hand, and turned his head to look outside Yongning Pavilion.

The door of the pavilion has been opened at this time, and the cold wind has been swept into the warm pavilion in an instant. Xu You narrowed his eyes and stood up without delay.

A sound of messy footsteps came from outside the pavilion.

First, two Tengxiang Guards wearing full armor, wearing Yanling swords on their waists, with cold eyes, and feather helmets on their heads, walked into the Yongning Pavilion and stood on both sides of the pavilion.

Then a figure appeared in front of the door of Yongning Pavilion.

Wearing a military uniform and a battle robe, Xu An held his helmet in one hand and a horsewhip in the other, and strode into Yongning Pavilion from outside the pavilion.

Xu You bowed slightly, and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Duke Ming."

Xu An raised his right hand as a gesture of excuse, and then walked straight towards the first person.

After sitting on the chair, Xu An picked up the tea that was already cold and put it on the table, and drank it in one gulp.

A soldier came over from the side and handed over a steaming towel. Xu An took the towel and wiped his face, only then regained some feeling on his already numb face.

It was freezing cold, Xu An did not take a carriage, but rode out on a horse, and when he came, his face was already flushed from the cold.

"Something happened on the road, so I went to check it out, so I was a little late in responding to Tianfu."

Xu An put down the towel, and a soldier also added a new bowl of tea at this time, Xu An picked up the tea bowl, and smiled when he saw Xu You standing there.

"There shouldn't be too many delays."

Xu You saluted again, then sat down as promised, and also smiled.

"The four directions are stable, and there are not many affairs that need to be dealt with by the cabinet and Zhongshufu, so there is nothing to be delayed."

"Besides, the Yongning Pavilion is much warmer than the halls of the Zhongshu Mansion, so you can also take a look at Minggong's private collection."

Xu An also noticed the spherical object on the table next to Xu You, which was the "globe" he had someone make on a whim.

"Dare to ask Minggong what the name of this object is. When I inspected it, I found that the pattern on it is the same as the pattern on the geomancy map. There are mountains and rivers, plains, and rivers and oceans. I think this place is the same as where we are now. There are some similarities."

Xu You pointed to the globe on the table. He didn't want to ask at first, but after seeing it, countless questions arose in his mind, so he temporarily put aside the matter to be reported, and turned to ask Xu An.

"This thing is called a globe, and I asked craftsmen to make it in my spare time."

Naturally, Xu An would not refuse to explain. The reason why he made this globe was to popularize relevant knowledge.

"globe?"

"Correct."

Xu An yelled to Xu Hong who was standing aside.

"Xu Hong, put down the Kanyu map."

Xu Hong clapped his hands and walked straight behind Xu An. Xu You's eyes followed Xu Hong's.

"Wow——"

The canvas was put down, and a huge map of mountains and rivers appeared in front of Xu You's eyes.

Xu You's eyes were slightly fixed, and his body involuntarily leaned forward.

He could see at a glance that the pattern drawn on this map of mountains and rivers was roughly similar to the pattern on the globe. Although the size was different, Xu You could still see some clues from the shape.

This globe and the topographic map of mountains and rivers seem to show the same place.

It's just that the place that was drawn, what exactly is it, he only saw one piece that was a bit similar to the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty, but the other places were quite different, unheard of, and unseen.

Xu An stood up and waved to Xu You.

"Come forward, you can see more clearly."

Xu You didn't refuse, stood up as promised, and stood on the huge mountain and river topography map with Xu An.

This mountain terrain map is drawn on a huge piece of paper.

When Xu You stood closer, he noticed that there were many words written on the topographic map of mountains and rivers.

The most central place is drawn in great detail. Xu You has already determined that this most central place is the original Thirteen States of Han Dynasty. On it, the names of each state are written on it, and it is also clearly divided according to the state boundaries.

Calculated according to the original territory of the Han Empire, the place painted with light blue paint should be the ocean, and three Chinese characters are also written on it—East Sea.

To the north of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, there are Shanggu Wuhuan, Sanjun Wuhuan, Western Xianbei, Central Xianbei, Eastern Xianbei, Liaozhou, Fuyu and other countries.

In the south, it says Nanjiang, and the names of some tribes. Xu You noticed that there is still a large area on the left side of Rinan County in Jiaozhou, which was the southernmost county of the Han Empire, and Yongchang County in Yizhou. On the left, there is also a huge protruding land that resembles a peninsula.

To the west is the Western Region, Xu You knew, but he also noticed that under the Western Region, it was called Xiqiang on the map.

Although Xu You has never been there, he has heard from people from Liangzhou and Yizhou that there seem to be high mountains there. , no one is seen, birds are hard to get over, and animals are sad.

As far as the east can see, it is full of oceans, but there are several islands in the east of North Korea, which are called "Dongyi Island."

The area occupied by the Xianbei in the north is extremely large, but there is a large territory just above it, which is called "Northern Plains".

Just above the northern plains, there is also a blue ocean called "Beihai".

Although the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty are located in the center of the entire map, the position it occupies is not large.

The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty seem to be on a huge piece of land, and they are only in the east.

And to the southwest, there is an adjacent continent, on which Xu You noticed that "Yanzhou" was written on it.

In the far west, there seems to be a country that covers a huge area. It seems that its territory is not much smaller than the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty.

There is a sea in the center of Yanzhou and their continent, which has almost become the inland sea of ​​their country.

In addition, to the east of the Thirteen States of the Great Han Dynasty, across the ocean called the "East Sea", on the easternmost side of the map, there are two huge lands, which do not have names written on them, only drawn A general shape is given, but no specific description.

Looking at the Kanyu map in front of him, Xu You suddenly felt a little dizzy and couldn't stand upright.

Xu You took two steps back and leaned on the back of a chair with his hands.

"Could it be... this is the world... the original appearance..."

Xu You looked at Xu An and asked the question in his mind.

Xu An nodded slightly, and gave Xu You an affirmative answer.

"This is the original appearance of the world, a total of six continents and four seas..."

Xu You's eyes were completely frozen. He didn't doubt the truth of what Xu An said. For some reason, he felt that what Xu An said was the truth of this world.

"Then this globe? What does it mean?"

"If I told you that the world is actually a sphere, would you believe it?"

Xu You hesitated, but finally shook his head.

"If the world is a sphere, then if we keep going to one place, won't we fall down?"

The heaven is respected and the earth is humble, the sky is round and the earth is round, the sky is round like a cover, and the earth is like a chessboard, like a dome-shaped sky covering a square and flat earth. This is the perception of the world by people in this era.

Xu An did not immediately refute, but picked up a piece of paper and placed it in front of Xu You.

He picked up the globe on the side and put it in Xu You's hand.

"If the sky is round and the earth is flat, then just like this piece of paper, you can see the farthest distance at a glance."

"But in fact, if you think about it, it's on the plain and desert, but the people in the distance are sinking slowly and disappearing from our sight."

Xu You was slightly taken aback, the facts are indeed what Xu An said, but he still can't agree with what Xu An said, after all, this is what he has always believed in for so many years.

"I have many ways to prove this, but I will tell you the details later."

"The world we live in is not the center. The world we live in is constantly revolving around the sun above our heads, which emits radiant light."

"The morning sun rises and sets, but for this reason, there is always one side of the world that is day and one side that is night."

"This world is not limited to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, this world is much bigger than we originally thought."

Xu An looked at the familiar map in front of him, and there was a trace of inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"In the westernmost part of our continent, there is a country named Rome, which has a vast territory and a strong army. Like us, it has established cities in various places, built roads, and has its own civilization. It is not uncivilized. barbarian."

"The future development will be beyond everyone's imagination..."

Xu An looked at the westernmost part of this familiar continent, and everything was the same as the map he had seen before.

His eyes slowly moved down from it, and moved to the place bordering "Yanzhou" - Central Asia.

"The territory we control now is not enough, it is too small..."

"However, in the future..."

Xu An's gaze was firm, staring at the map in front of him.

"The territory controlled by my Ming Dynasty must not only be the land of the thirteen states, nor will it only be the land of the thirteen states."

"One day, no matter how the sun rises or sets, there will be daylight in part of our territory."

"At that time, the sun will never set on our country, the yellow sky will shine on our country forever, and the destiny will always take care of our country!"

A palpitating murderous intent suddenly appeared in Xu An's eyes, and his aura also changed suddenly, becoming extremely fierce.

"Those so-called legal principles, the so-called inherent land, the so-called land left over from the past are all bullshit!"

Truth is always on the edge of the sword, dignity is always only within the range of the cannon.

Although this statement makes people feel very uncomfortable, but this is the reality.

"Wherever the sun and the moon shine, and where the rivers and rivers go, are my bright lands."

No matter how high-sounding, no matter how much the treaty stipulates, if you want to implement it in the end, you must rely on force in your hands.

Xu An stared at the map in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"There may be all nations in the world, but there can only be China once!"

Xu You's complexion changed slightly, Xu An's ambition was probably greater than all previous dynasties, even the fairy gods in the myth.

Even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu in the past probably didn't have such ambitions as Xu An.

Of course, Qin Huang and Han Wu must not know that the world is so huge. Their knowledge at the time limited their ambitions. If someone really brought a map of the world to them, then I am afraid that the territory of Qin and Han will definitely only be bigger. .

Throughout history, in all the unified dynasties, the emperors of those countries have already occupied all the lands that can be cultivated, and all the income can maintain balance and have income.

It is the backward productivity of the farming society, and the backward industrial technology in ancient times restricted the development of China.

Xu You's heart was overwhelmed.

For so many years, many things he believed in had all been impacted, and he was even a little dizzy for a while, completely unacceptable.

But he also felt that what Xu An said was very reasonable, this world, this world is really as he said.

Xu An's body is full of mysteries. Even though he has been an official under Xu An's curtain for many years and often contacts Xu An, he still can't see through Xu An. No matter how he examines Xu An, he feels like there is a cloud of fog hanging over him.

"But it's too early to say that."

Xu An's expression calmed down again.

"Now we only occupy four prefectures, plus Liaozhou is only five prefectures, and now there are still nine prefectures under the control of the Han and Wei courts, and there is still a long way to go."

Xu An knew very well what he should do now.

Now the general trend has come, and next year will be the eleventh year.

For a full eleven years, he has been through ups and downs all the way, and he is now approaching his thirties.

Building walls high, accumulating food widely, accumulating strength, and fighting hard are the things that need to be done now.

The two courts of the Han and Wei courts still have a certain strength, and they must not relax or neglect until the moment of final victory.

　Sitting for a long time caused the recent low back pain, and then made things worse, and I also suffered from frozen shoulder, so the update can only be slowed down, and the state of the code word is really bad. This chapter mainly wants to talk about Xu An's ambition, but It seems that I didn't say something too clearly, everyone really forgive me.
