Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 374 Aggression and Enlightenment

Looking at the sea map in front of him blankly, Zheng He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Where did this chart come from?Zheng He didn't know.

Is this chart true or false?Zheng He didn't know either.

Why did Zhu Zhanhe give him the chart?Zheng He still didn't know.

First of all, although Zhu Zhanhe was the person who conquered the farthest distance and captured the most territory in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He believed that no one in the Ming Dynasty could match him in terms of broadening his horizons.

Perhaps, Qian Yong and the others have also been to places he has not been to, but compared to him, the places Qian Yong and the others have gone to are too few and the routes are too simple.

In terms of the total number of places he has visited and the routes he has developed, Zheng He is still confident that he can become the number one in the Ming Dynasty.

And the chart in front of him can be said to be far beyond his imagination.

This chart not only draws the Ming Dynasty, Oara, Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Xiangzhou Prefecture, Nanzhou Prefecture and other places, but also draws the places such as Bulawa and Malin.

It would make sense to say that Zhu Zhanhe had seen the nautical chart he had submitted to Emperor Taizong after he took over Shuntian, but the problem is that the area south of Malin was also drawn.

Zheng He had concerns about the authenticity of this chart, but after thinking about Qian Yong and the others, he hesitated.

Yes, this is not the first time that the new food brought back by the three of Qian Yong also comes from a place that he has never been to, or even heard of.

Moreover, the current Ming Dynasty is dominated by the lineage of King Wu, and among the lineage of King Wu, Zhu Zhanhe has the greatest say. Even Wu King Zhu Gaoxu will give priority to his son's ideas.

Now that the sea map is in my hands, I can't do it if I don't go.

Then, there is only one last question left: Why did Zhu Zhanhe give him this chart?
Although Zheng He believed that he had no camp, and that everything he did was just for the Ming Dynasty, and there was no argument about who he supported or who he did not support, but others did not see it that way.

Moreover, it is not just one or two people who think so. Maybe most people in the Ming Dynasty think that he is from the lineage of the original prince, not the lineage of the King of Han.

It would be fine if no one except him could complete the ocean mission, but the voyages to the West have been carried out six times. Although many people have been lost, more than half of them have not been replaced.

As long as Zhu Zhanhe thinks about it, he can still find someone to replace him.

Besides, isn’t there also Wang Jinghong?
Zhu Zhanhe had used Wang Jinghong as early as during the Eastern Conquest of Japan and recognized Wang Jinghong's ability.

In Zheng He's view, Zhu Zhanhe's most reasonable decision should be to let Wang Jinghong explore the world, because this matter is uncontrollable, and you have no way of knowing what people outside have done. As for himself, he should succeed Wang Jinghong now task.

Although, he didn't know what task Zhu Zhanhe was going to give Wang Jinghong.

However, it was precisely because Zheng He didn't know that he had such an idea. If he had known, he might not have such an idea.

King's Palace.

In fact, the people who can enter here are basically not ordinary people. Before this, only the people Zhu Zhanhe trusted the most could enter here.

Wang Jinghong was the first to come here besides people like Jian Xiao and others and Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping.

"Don't rush to agree yet." Zhu Zhanhe knocked on the desk and looked at Wang Jinghong in front of him with a smile.

"Today, I am not giving you orders, but letting you make choices."

"Would you choose to surpass the three security eunuchs who have been weighing on you, or do what I said and become the leader of the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade routes."

"But you know the rules. You can choose to follow your dream and surpass the Sanbao eunuch, but your son must stay."

After saying that, Zhu Zhanhe looked at Wang Jinghong quietly and let him make his own choice.

Wang Jinghong stood there with no particularly obvious expression on his face, but Zhu Zhanhe could still tell that he was quite troubled.

The reason why Zhu Zhanhe asked people to open the Suez Canal was to expand it to the point where Ming's treasure fleet could sail. Exploring North and South America was only one of his goals.

The most important thing is to let Ming's caravan enter Europe.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty also had caravans entering Europe, but the journey was too long. Although the price of the goods was high, the cycle was too long and the returns were low, so the number of caravans was very small.

Calling Wang Jinghong over, Zhu Zhanhe gave him two options.

First, Zhu Zhanhe will ask Xiangzhou Prefecture to build another fleet of treasure ships. Anyway, there is no shortage of labor now. There are plenty of white pig slaves. Ah San is also very obedient. In addition, the treasure ship blueprints have been obtained, so it is not difficult. .

The second is to become the leader of the Ming Dynasty merchant fleet and lead the merchant fleet to and from Europe and the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Jinghong raised his head slightly and secretly observed Zhu Zhanhe with his peripheral vision, trying to get some clues from Zhu Zhanhe's expression.

At the very least, he wanted to know how Zhu Zhanhe wanted him to choose.

As an eunuch, Wang Jinghong knew that if he wanted to survive, or even make a fortune and leave a name for future generations, he first had to look at what the person in charge, Zhu Zhanhe, thought.

But what disappointed him was that Zhu Zhanhe only had a smile on his face and nothing else.

He couldn't see anything.

"Your Highness, how about this..." Wang Jinghong thought over and over again and decided to be prudent.

"I will lead the merchant fleet for two years first, and at the same time train the dog in these two years, or His Highness the Crown Prince can send someone else."

"When the merchant fleet has a qualified leader, I will..."

At this point, Wang Jinghong stopped talking and lowered his head.

"Well..." Zhu Zhanhe nodded slightly, the smile on his face did not change, but his tone had changed.

"It is indeed a good idea. In that case, let's make this decision."

"You should train your son yourself. After all, this voyage is a long-term thing and cannot be completed in a short time. But you also have to train a few more people for me."

"Follow the orders of His Royal Highness!" Wang Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed to thank him.

"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early." After saying that, Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand, got up and walked towards the back.

This was obviously trying to drive people away. Wang Jinghong also knew what was going on and hurriedly lowered his head and left.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Zhu Zhanhe paused in his steps, turned his head slightly, and glanced at the closed door.

Wang Jinghong has a heart, but it's not really ambitious.

The eunuchs who came out during the Yongle period were relatively pure. First, because the status of eunuchs had been low since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and they were not taken seriously during the Yongle period.

The second reason is that today's Ming Dynasty does not indulge or even take the initiative to teach eunuchs to read and read, as it did in history, and it has no rights.

Therefore, Wang Jinghong was actually unwilling to be beaten by Zheng He. After all, they had sailed to the West six times together, and Wang Jinghong was also capable, so he naturally wanted to prove himself.

Originally, Zhu Zhanhe wanted Wang Jinghong to become the leader of the merchant fleet with peace of mind, but now it seems that this is not the best destination for him.

Fortunately, he was not very confident about Zheng He. If he let Wang Jinghong go, he would have an extra layer of security.

At the very least, Zhu Zhanhe trusted Wang Jinghong more than Zheng He.

In addition, there is another problem that needs to be solved.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe sighed, turned and went into the bedroom.

America is a good place, and Zhu Zhanhe has no intention of throwing it away.

Whether it is the Amazon Plain or the Mississippi Plain, they are both excellent places. In this era when there are no saints like Mr. Yuan, food is always the top priority.

The problem is how to solve the problem for the indigenous people.

Zhu Zhanhe did not feel any psychological burden when he took action against people like the Japanese, Asan, and even Bai Zhu, because they were all influenced by the emotions of later generations, but the aborigines of the Americas...

how to say?After all, it is the kind of human race that can be regarded as extinct, and the experience makes people sympathize...

Let's put it this way, it's not that Zhu Zhanhe can't do it, but he still needs to do a good job of psychological preparation before doing it, at least he must be able to convince himself.

Moreover, the most important thing is to decide whether to educate or massacre. The decision depends on those people themselves.

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhu Zhanhe got up very early, or it should be said that he didn't sleep much last night. He was always thinking about things in his mind. He was wandering between sleeping and not sleeping. He couldn't be said to be asleep, but he couldn't be said to be not asleep either. Degree.

Standing at the top of the city, smelling the vague smell of corruption in the air, Zhu Zhanhe's expression was a little dull.

Many people died in Junbao.

Youpe people are distributed from northern Africa to Europe. It can only be said that there are more Youpe people in the Timurid Empire and other places, but it cannot be said that all Youpe people are in the territory of the Timurid Empire.

Although Europe seems to be the territory of the Kidou Church at the moment, in fact the Holy See is nothing more than a joke.

Let's put it this way, when the Holy See first proposed to save the Holy Land, no one actually paid any attention to the Holy See. Later, after the Holy See gave in and proposed that it could seize land and rob at will, all countries followed the Holy See's footsteps.

To put it bluntly, it is driven by interests, just like the Crusaders of the Holy See and the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Sicily returned in defeat, and the European countries were left with nothing.

If there is no profit, who will help you solve the problem?

Therefore, Youpe people are also distributed in Europe, and there are quite a few of them. After all, business is the education that Youpe people have received since childhood, and the group of merchants is constantly traveling between places.

But now, Zhu Zhanhe is no longer worried about the peptide people.

Now, after winning a battle, screening and distinguishing people by identifying circumcision has become a long-term task for the Ming army. The soldiers would start preparing without even Zhu Zhanhe's instructions.

What he was thinking about now was how he could be a bitch and erect a chastity memorial at the same time.

"Your Highness, you..."

After all, she is a woman with a more delicate mind. Zhu Sanfeng was the first person to notice that Zhu Zhanhe was strange.

"Three Phoenixes..." Zhu Zhanhe said slowly without turning his head, looking at the strait in the distance.

"If something has great benefits but will make you infamous forever, you should decide whether to do it or not."

"How big are the benefits?" Zhu Sanfeng was stunned for a moment and asked with some doubts.

"It's so big that future generations can always..."

Halfway through his words, Zhu Zhanhe was suddenly stunned.

After more than 20 years, a sentence from his previous life appeared in his mind again. It was a sentence that Ai Gong once said.

It is better to bear the infamy of aggression in one lifetime than to let descendants enjoy happiness for generations to come.

This means that the crime is in the present time, but the merit is in the future.
