Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1514 Fourteen before enthronement
Zhuge Liang, whose name is Kongming, is different. In this different world, his name was not given by himself, nor was it bestowed by his elders, but was given to him by Mujing back then.

Everyone in the Ming Kingdom knew that Mujing did this, and it was mainly to target Hu Zhao, the Prime Minister of the Ming Kingdom.

Hu Zhao, also named Kong Ming.

Hu Kongming.

There is nothing novel about the same word. After all, there are so many people, and people with the same name and surname can bump into each other. Is there any problem with the same word? The key is that two people with the same word will be pulled out for comparison.

Hu Zhao is now the world-renowned Prime Minister Hu, who is known as a big man in charge of power under one person in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhuge Liang is just a small man who has just come out and is still struggling in the middle class. Don't look at Zhuge Liang He is already a general at a young age. His high starting point does not mean that the future will be easy. He will even stay in this class for ten or twenty years. Even if he has meritorious service, it will be difficult to be promoted. After all, he is too young up.

On the one hand, Mu Jing did it on purpose, to use Zhuge Liang to annoy Hu Zhao. On the other hand, he also wanted to restore the history. Zhuge Liang and Hu Zhao clashed in history. It was fate, and Hu Zhao was not appreciated all his life. In the history books The above is just a brushstroke, but it is Zhuge Kongming, whose name has been left in history. If there is Kongming in the world, it is Zhuge Liang.

Now that Hu Zhao came out of the mountain because of the Mujing, he followed the Mu family for ten years, from scratch, assisted Mujing, established the Ming Dynasty, and became famous all over the world. It's different if you want to use the word Kong Ming, so Mu Jing borrowed this to take it back and returned the word Kong Ming to Zhuge Liang.

It's just that for Zhuge Liang, this is a bit counterproductive. People who look at the world will compare him with Zhuge Liang and Hu Zhao.

This will cause Zhuge Liang huge pressure.

But this is what Mujing is willing to see, because in this way, Mujing thinks it is the best for Zhuge Liang's growth.

The emptiness does not come, Zhuge Liang can leave such a great reputation in history, he is definitely not a mediocre person, and he will not be limped when he is pressed down.

He was originally a supernatural power of youth and intelligence. In history, he just didn't have the opportunity. He was pressed until he was 30 years old to start his official career, and when he came out, he had a high starting point.

When Liu Bei recruited Zhuge Liang, he was surrounded by those pumpkin generals, all of whom were brave and foolhardy, and what was lacking was a counselor. Naturally, he relied on Zhuge Liang a lot.

In that way, Zhuge Liang will be the number one counselor as soon as he comes up. This is actually not necessarily good for his development. The foundation is unstable, and there are many empty talk and unrealistic.

He came out of Qishan six times, so he is not a kind of talking on paper.

He knows how to fight, but he doesn't know how to gain momentum.

Understand politics, but do not understand power.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was actually paid by Liu Bei. Such a person needs to put pressure on him to walk steadily, and only when he is pressured to walk can he walk more steadily.

"Kong Ming, do you still want to be afraid of Hu Xiang?" Mu Jing said with a smile.

"afraid!"

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, I'm just a general. If Prime Minister Hu has any objections to me, I'm afraid I'll have to come back to retire!"

"It's not that exaggerated!" Mu Jing shrugged his shoulders: "Hu Zhao is not the kind of person who avenges private revenge publicly. At most, he will hate you twice in his heart. If it is not good enough, he will accuse you directly!"

"Of course I know that Hu Xiang is a man, but..." Zhuge Liang looked at Mu Jing. Sometimes it was difficult for him to figure out what Mu Jing was thinking. It was too complicated to figure out. He feels that Mujing's thinking seems to be incompatible with people all over the world, sometimes simple ideas make him very complicated, and sometimes obviously very complicated things are not worth mentioning in his eyes.

For example, he lifted himself out to hold Hu Zhao down. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a nonsense, what was his status, and what was Hu Zhao's status.

Hu Zhao is just arrogant, and he doesn't care about himself, otherwise he would have thrown himself into the small black room long ago.

"Do you think I named you Kong Ming just to disgust Hu Zhao?" Mu Jing asked.

Zhuge Liang is not enough, that's what he thought at the beginning.

But he felt that Mujing shouldn't be such a childish person.

It's just that Mujing's thinking, he can't keep up with the rhythm, so many times, he dare not speculate on Mujing, the more he speculates, the more he feels that he will enter a dead end.

"The last will not dare!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said.

"Don't dare, that's what I thought, I just didn't dare to say it!" Mu Jing smiled: "If you think so, then you will live up to Gu's expectations of you!"

He patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said, "Kong Ming, Gu's expectation of you is different from that of everyone else."

Pointing at Gan Ning, he said: "For example, Gan Xingba, he is capable, and Gu also thinks highly of him. As long as he has meritorious service, Gu will make him rise to the top. But if he can reach that point, Gu can see the end of it with just one glance. , the commander of the navy, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he can do it, but if he wants to be the commander of the Ming army, or the privy envoy of the Privy Council, he is really close to it!"

Mu Jing said this directly to Gan Ning, not because he looked down on Gan Ning, but because Gan Ning's mind was too simple. This simplicity means that he has the ability to command an army, but he has no intention of conspiracy .

This kind of person can lead the army, and he can handle it on one battlefield. Even if he establishes a naval admiral in the future, he can also take on the role, conquer all directions, and be invincible.

But wanting him to be the leader of the Ming army is really close.

"Xingba, as the saying goes, you can achieve great things only if you are versatile in both civil and military affairs. You have martial arts, but you lack literary intelligence. Do you know what the so-called literary intelligence is?" Mu Jing also wanted to take Gan Ning's emotions into consideration. .

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"

Gan Ning was somewhat dissatisfied at first, but he did not doubt that Mu Jing would be biased. Mu Jing must have his reasons for saying this, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

"The so-called Wen Tao is fighting for power and profit, and conspiring!"

Mu Jing once again pulled Xi Zhicai out as a demonstration: "Huang Zhong should be the only privy envoy in the Privy Council who only knows martial arts but has no literary skills. For example, Xi Zhicai, why is he the most hopeful in the Privy Council to succeed Huang Zhong?" Yes, because he knows how to use power and how to deal with official plots!"

"My lord, it's almost enough!" Xi Zhicai was a little upset.

"Gu was wrong!"

"That's right!" Xi Zhicai gritted his teeth.

Mu Jing returned to the topic: "But you are willing to be a bully, but you will never be able to do it. You can only go straight. You can get things from the battlefield, but you don't know how to use your brain. This is your defect and advantage. It will make you more focused on the battlefield, but in court, you may not be able to stand up, what do you think?"

"What your majesty said is true, I am afraid that the last general will find it difficult to learn in this lifetime!"

Gan Ning said helplessly.

The court is too complicated, he'd better lead the soldiers for the rest of his life, anyway, Mujing won't treat him badly, on the contrary, it's more comfortable than being in the court.

"But Kong Ming, you are different!" Mu Jing looked at Zhuge Liang: "No matter what your thoughts are, Chengfu, you are very similar to Hu Zhao. In the future, your future will be even more brilliant. Of course, all geniuses in this world will There is a hurdle, that is, you will die young, and only geniuses who survive are geniuses, Kong Ming, what you have to learn is to survive!"

"The final general will remember what the king said, no matter what he does in the future, he will never dare to surpass Thunder!"

Zhuge Liang felt that this sentence was a warning to himself.

However, he benefited a lot from these words, Mu Jing's emphasis on him was beyond what he thought, which made him not nervous at all, but rather excited.

"Let's get down to business!"

Mu Jing said: "The matter of the third navy is not something you should worry about, but the South China Sea is the only one!"

"South China Sea?"

Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning looked at each other.

Regardless of their reaction, Mujing continued, and even told them some future deployments: "Once Gu takes the throne and the Ming Dynasty is established, it will take time to recuperate. In the next few years, unless someone deliberately provokes, Gu will not send troops to fight. But in the country, you can rest and store your energy for production, but you can’t rest at sea, Gu will tell you directly, starting next year, Gu will invest no less than [-] gold in the South China Sea every year!"

Fifty thousand gold, that is, five hundred million yuan, is not a small amount. In terms of military expenditure, it is already very useful to invest in it.

Hit the South China Sea?

Is that the blue waves thousands of miles, Liao uninhabited South China Sea?
Gan Ning still has some music in his heart, because he has tried to sail long distances, but Zhuge Liang really doesn't have any music in his heart, and he can't even feel the point of Mujing.

"Jingping Navy and Violent Bear Navy will be the main force in the South China Sea in the future!"

Mu Jing pulled out a picture and pointed to it: "In the future, our Ming's battle flag must be planted in these places, and every inch of land must belong to our Daming!"

Mujing wants to open the era of great navigation and win Southeast Asia first, so this is a map of Southeast Asia, which is the entire Southeast Asia he drew from his memory. There must be discrepancies, but the outline is correct, and the general orientation will not be wrong. .

It is not a history of tens of thousands of years, but it is only pushed forward 800 years ago, and the movement of the bottom crust will not eliminate some rough terrain.

Of course, some of these places should be relatively desolate, such as Australia.

The Australian continent is a large continent, but in the future, it will be a country of immigrants. There may be aboriginals, but there will not be many.

"Where did this picture come from, Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang's pupils shone brighter.

"You don't need to ask Gu, you just need to know that this map probably fits eighty to ninety percent of the terrain, and that's it. Gan Xingba has traveled far, and you need to learn from him in this regard!" Mu Jing said.

"Yes!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly became very excited. No wonder Gan Ning had been silent in the South China Sea before, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction.

It is different to conquer the world and compete with the Central Plains.

"Gu can show you a strategic line!" Pointing to the topographic map, Mu Jing said, "Down from Jiaozhou, Jiuzhen County and Rinan County are all counties established by our Central Plains Celestial Dynasty. You can build a foundation here, and then Go south along the coastline and build a supply line. I need you to figure out all the route maps in the South China Sea within two years. Clearly, there can be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The two took the lead.

"In addition..." Mu Jing sighed: "Gu is aware of the hardships of HNA, and I believe Xingba also knows about it. As for Kong Ming, you have some experience in this trip from the East China Sea to the South China Sea. This is a very difficult thing. , Even the entire army will be wiped out because of a storm, this is a difficult task, you have to think about it, if you don't want to stay at sea, I will not force you!"

"Your Majesty, it is our wish to open up the territory of the Ming Kingdom. I would rather be smashed to pieces than retreat half a step!" Gan Ning bowed his head and knelt, his voice was heavy and extremely firm.

"The same is true for the last commander!"

Zhuge Liang said indifferently, although the voice was soft, but the will does not need anyone to be weak, he is a person who will be determined to do well when he is sure.

"Okay, I'm very pleased that you have such firm hearts!"

Mu Jing smiled. Gan Ning is destined to deal with water all his life. He will be the pioneer of Mu Jing to open the era of great navigation. Zhuge Liang, he needs Zhuge Liang to understand the sea, but he finds the benefits of the sea and conquers the sea. everything of.

Zhuge Liang will be the most important core for Mujing to open the era of great voyages. His wisdom and ability will perfectly build Mujing's blueprint.

"However, before you return to the South China Sea, you'd better go to the Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology!" Mu Jing instructed: "Many difficulties at sea can be overcome. Human wisdom is always much stronger than nature. There are many research idiots, if they want, they can solve many problems for you!"

Navigation is a big problem, especially in today's era, even if it is a large boat, it is just a small wooden boat on the sea, which is very dangerous.

And the direction is also a problem. Sinan may not be useful. Although the compass is made out, it may not be able to completely locate the sea.

Therefore, there are many, many problems to be overcome, and luck cannot be relied on. Too many people will die in this way, and technology is the most important part of solving the problem of great navigation.

"Yes!"

Both Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning nodded, they don't know how powerful the Academy of Science and Technology is.

Gan Ning was also a bit whimsical: "My lord, it is rumored that in the battle of Wancheng, our army used a new type of weapon to defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop, and the new type of weapon is so powerful that it can target the enemy from several miles away. I don't know if it can be mounted on a warship. !"

"Great idea!"

Mujing smiled, but shook his head: "It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and we can't do this for the time being. When the new weapons are more mature, we will hit them on the warship as soon as possible!"

Artillery boats, what a terrible nautical weapon that is.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang soon left the Privy Council.

At this time, Xi Zhicai hadn't spoken, and only then did he say, "Don't you think highly of Zhuge Liang?"

"I think highly of him, of course there is a reason for being lonely!" Mu Jing smiled, not surprised by Xi Zhicai's question: "In time, he knows better about military strategy than Hu Zhao, better at politics than Hu Zhao, and better at fighting than Huang Zhong." , is better at handling government affairs than Liu Jin!"

"is it?"

Xi Zhicai is very suspicious.
