I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 402: The whole world is shocked, the psychological shock after returning from the sea!

Chapter 402: The whole world is shocked, the psychological shock after returning from the sea!

The fleet slowly approached the shore.

The civil and military officials present, as well as Zhu Yunzhen and Lao Zhu, could see more clearly that most of the crew on the deck were unkempt and looked listless.

Obviously.

During this extremely long voyage, the crew of this fleet encountered unimaginable difficulties!
This was the price of the first circumnavigation of the world.

There are too many uncertainties, including countries, indigenous people, wind and waves along the way, and even violent emotions arising from loneliness lead to civil strife.

It is too dangerous!
Fortunately, Zheng He finally lived up to Zhu Yunzhen's expectations and successfully led the fleet back!

Even if Zheng He did not complete his circumnavigation.

Two years was at least enough time for Zheng He to reach very far away areas. This was considered a success. As long as Zheng He returned successfully, it would only be a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty could sail around the world.

Soon the ship anchored and a rope ladder was thrown from the ship.

One by one, the crew members climbed down the rope ladder, and one figure among them was extremely agile and landed smoothly in just a few clicks.

Looks neat and tidy.

After the opponent landed, he went straight to Zhu Yunzhen.

Three steps and two steps forward.

Then he kowtowed violently and said excitedly: "Your Highness! Your Majesty, Zheng He, you have lived up to your expectations!"

“Return from circumnavigation!”

At this time, everyone saw this man who exuded a fishy stench and had messy hair, but there was no beard on his face.

It was Zheng He, the supreme commander of the Ming Navy!
"Get up quickly!"

Zhu Yunzhen's face was filled with unprecedented joy, and he quickly helped Zheng He up.

Even ignoring the stench emanating from the other party's body.

And the dirt on Zheng He's clothes.

Sailing around the world!This is the result of greed!This means that Ming Dynasty was the first country to achieve circumnavigation!At the same time, it has gained an advantage in the struggle for sea power in the next few hundred years!
In the future, no Ming Dynasty person will forget it.

It was Zheng He who started the age of navigation!It was Zheng He who completed the first circumnavigation of the world!
Lao Zhu's face was also filled with joy.

It can be said that the more he looks at Zheng He, the more he likes it. Although completing the circumnavigation has no practical significance in his opinion, it is still a supreme achievement recorded in the annals of history.

Simultaneously.

Lao Zhu also had a plan in his mind. Since ancient times, the achievements of all emperors cannot surpass Qin Shihuang.

What is the reason?

It's nothing more than the other party sweeping across the world and unifying the world!
It laid the foundation for the unification of the Central Plains dynasty!

This can be said to be the credit for the creation of the world. In the eyes of later generations, if it were not for Qin Shihuang, there would not be so many emperors in later generations. After all, the word emperor is the credit of Qin Shihuang!

But today's Ming Dynasty is facing changes unprecedented in thousands of years.

within the past thousand years.

For the Central Plains dynasty, the world was only so big, and establishing a unified dynasty was the limit of expansion.

It is almost impossible to expand the territory again.

But in the next hundreds or even thousands of years, people will gradually discover that the world is not just that big. There are infinite worlds in the vast overseas world!

And the dynasty that opened up this infinite overseas world was the Ming Dynasty!
It's Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunzhen!

This is truly an achievement worthy of being famous throughout the ages, even comparable to that of Qin Shihuang!
Of course, the one who really played a role in this must be Zhu Yunxu. He, Lao Zhu, was just a free ride, and in the hands of Zhu Yunxu, Ming Dynasty will continue to broaden the horizons of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Let the people of Ming Dynasty know how vast the world is!
On the side, Zheng He had already burst into tears and was full of emotion. He felt more and more in his heart that a wise master like Zhu Yunxuan recognized him.

The hardships of the past few years have not been in vain!
The kindness of knowing and encountering should be repaid with a spring of water!

"Go back to the palace quickly! I will throw a big banquet for Zheng He's return! Celebrate for three days and three nights!"

"The news came from the people of the capital."

“These days, everyone is celebrating!”

Zhu Yunzhen felt happy and excited like never before.

He took a three-day holiday with the people of the capital.

He wanted the news of Zheng He's return, along with this celebration, to reach every corner of the Ming Dynasty!
Let everyone know.

The overseas world is not a scourge!Rather, it is an infinite world that can be explored!

Zheng He was able to sail around the world and return.

It is proof!

At the same time, Zheng He's return will bring unprecedented ideological impact to the Ming Dynasty!After the earth was proven to be round, many originally superstitious statements were fundamentally untenable!
A new wave of thoughts will burst out in Ming Dynasty!

And this time, it will be a trend of thought from science!

The knowledgeable people of Ming Dynasty will correctly understand this world and move towards the path of science!

The true meaning of circumnavigation.

Here it is!

……

Royal Palace.

Fengtian Temple.

The place originally used for morning court was now filled with banquets. The palace servants and maids took turns delivering the most delicious food and wine, and the maids performed for everyone.

And above.

Zhu Yunzhen and Lao Zhu sat side by side, and the two dragons were in the same court. For civil and military officials, this was an unprecedented scene!
At the same time, it has brought an unprecedented sense of oppression to countless civil and military officials!

Although it seems that this is a combination of an old man and a young man, the hands of these two people are stained with the blood of many officials!

Kill decisively!
This is the best portrayal of Lao Zhu and Zhu Yunzhen!

And below.

King Yan Zhu Di and Zheng He sat opposite each other.

Zheng He, who had washed up immediately after returning to the palace, also put on a decent crown dress, regained his dignity, and looked heroic!
It's just that his face is too fair and he has no beard.

But this does not prevent Zheng He from being able to command so many navies and make them convinced!
In the banquet.

Zheng He talked about his experiences in the past two years.

To be on the safe side, when Zheng He first decided to sail around the world, he prepared a ship full of grain and oranges.

And the weapons, guns and artillery are all ready.

At the same time, under Zhu Yunzhen's instructions, he set out from the west, intending to repeat Magellan's original route, first arriving in the west, then crossing the Atlantic Ocean, arriving at the lost continent, and finally crossing the widest sea area in the world to return to the Ming Dynasty. !

But it was just a short time ago.

Zheng He's fleet encountered many difficulties on the route to the west.

There are many pirates.

Among them, there are even some Chinese people, most of whom were defeated generals who fled after their failure in fighting for the world with Lao Zhu.

These people are fighting for success in the world.

So he became a pirate among the Southeast Asian countries, and these people were extremely hostile to the Ming Dynasty and kept wandering around the Ming Dynasty's fleet.

But fortunately, these pirates did not cause much trouble to Zheng He's fleet.

Under the crushing fire of guns and artillery.

These pirates pose no threat to Zheng He's fleet at all!
However, these pirates were extremely difficult to deal with, and they had their own forces among the Southeast Asian countries, which caused great trouble for the supply of Zheng He's fleet.

From time to time there were conflicts with local forces.

The gun's ammunition had been consumed less than half before it had traveled long.

Zheng He was deeply disturbed.

So he made a decision to move forward without paying attention to the harassing ships around him, and passed through this land.

After quite some time.

Having just got rid of the entanglement of these pirates, the subsequent voyage suddenly became much easier and more enjoyable. Ming porcelain and tea were popular all over the world.Sufficient supplies were exchanged.

But after Zheng He's fleet officially began to cross the Atlantic Ocean, the situation took a turn for the worse!

Since leaving the West.

There was no longer any place to trade supplies with, because after crossing the Atlantic Ocean, we arrived at that lost continent!
Within a few months, the crew began to suffer from hunger and cut down on food and clothing.

At this moment.

Some crew members could not bear the torture and were ready to rebel. Fortunately, Zheng He discovered it in time and directly suppressed the rebellion!
Just that way.

Manpower has been reduced sharply.

Only part of the ships could be left on the lost continent, and only the remaining ships that were still intact were ready to return to the Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that the difficulties are only gradually appearing now!

The next voyage is the real biggest difficulty, because the Pacific Ocean is the widest sea area in the world, and there are no countries or regions that can supply supplies along the way.

There are only some indigenous people living on the islands.

But how could these people help Zheng He even if they themselves were short of food and clothing?

Simultaneously.

Because of living on ships for a long time, coupled with excessive humidity that caused mold and rot, finally, a terrible disease broke out among the fleet!

It took away the lives of several boat people at once!

The number of casualties exceeded at least 500!What's even worse is yet to come. During the more than 100 days of sailing, there is no food supply, and I can only rely on luck to catch some marine fish in the sea every day.

Among Zheng He's fleet.

At that time, there was even wood-eating!

Fortunately.

Emperor Tian paid off his hard work. After a arduous voyage, Zheng He and others arrived at an island with sunshine, sandy beaches, and abundant food.

Then we set off again.

Finally returned to Daming after dozens of days!
"It's not easy..."

After listening to Zheng He's description, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh. It was such a difficult and dangerous journey, and he had to face various natural and man-made disasters at the same time. Storms on the sea could swallow up the fleet at any time, and the hostility of pirates and many countries and Internal rebellion may arise at any time.

Being able to persist for two full years in such an environment.

This Zheng He is truly a talent!
Zhu Yunzhen didn't make a mistake!Only this kind of talent can complete such an almost impossible task as sailing around the world!
Simultaneously.

Zheng He also told many interesting anecdotes. On that lost continent, the local people had a skin color that was not much different from the people of the Ming Dynasty, but they wore animal skins and had various strange lines on their faces. They were similar to the barbarians. No different.

Still hunting with the simplest spear.

However, this land is very fertile, and the crops grown casually on the ground have surprisingly high yields!

"Yes, Your Highness."

"This time on that continent, I not only discovered sweet potato seeds, but also discovered two other high-yielding crops."

Zheng He took out a bag from behind as if it were a treasure.

Inside were the two treasures he brought back from overseas this time!

"Oh?"

Zhu Yunxuan suddenly became interested.

You know, in addition to sweet potatoes, there are two other crops besides sweet potatoes produced by the three high-yielding brothers on that lost continent.

Corn and potatoes!
In addition, peppers also come from overseas!

It can be said that God is blessing this land!

But it is a pity... God did not favor the indigenous people living on this land. Their only role was to be slaughtered to death!

Turn it into a resource for others!
"Take it out and take a look?"

Zhu Yunxuan was impatient and wanted to know what Zheng He had brought back from overseas.

But an unprecedented banquet was being held in the palace.

Among the capital.

A piece of shocking news completely shocked the eyes of the people of the capital!

Zheng He, who disappeared for two years, is back!
And completed the mission of sailing around the world!Practical actions have proven that the land they live in is not a round sky.

But a round sphere!

Keep moving in one direction and get back to the very beginning!

At first, Zheng He headed straight towards the west, but after crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, he miraculously returned to the Ming Dynasty!
Isn't this just proof?

The world is round? !

"No...impossible! How can the world be round?"

"This doesn't make sense at all!"

"How could such a magical thing happen? Wouldn't people fall?"

The people in the capital were all shocked!
round!

The land they live on is actually round!
Although knowledgeable people put forward this view many years ago.

For example, Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty proposed the "Huntian Theory".

The sky is like a chicken.

The heavenly body is as round as a pellet, and the earth is as yellow as a chicken's egg.

Then, this doctrine was not taken seriously.

Confucian students don't care about this.

The common people are even more disapproving of this.

"It's fake! It must be fake! It's Zheng He who faked it!"

"The world can't be round!"

"The sky is round and the earth is square. It has been passed down since ancient times. How can it be false?"

"In that case, if the world is round, how can there be any heavenly palace? The statement of Tianwaitian is even more ridiculous!"

a time.

The news that Zheng He had returned from his circumnavigation was like a bombshell, which completely aroused heated discussions among the people in the capital.

Like a stone causing thousands of waves!

The people in the capital were talking about it for a while. Zheng He's return from his voyage around the world was originally a happy event, but now, people in the capital were arguing about it and getting into fights.

Many people's worldview is shattered at this moment!
And countless wise people of the Ming Dynasty are really beginning to awaken at this moment!It was only then that they discovered that their way of understanding the world was still too simple!
Relying too much on your own intuition and guesswork!

Rather than real practice and observation!Just like the fact that the world is round, if you really want to verify it, there will be countless ways.

But everyone prefers to rely on their own intuition.

I felt that the land in front of me was flat, which meant that I was living on a flat land, but I never thought about verifying it.

Such an idea is really a misunderstanding!
Big mistake!

But...if the world is round, then how come we can stand on this piece of land without falling off?

Logically speaking.

If a person turns upside down, wouldn't he just fall down?

Endless confusion shrouded these wise people of Ming Dynasty, leaving them at a loss.

And right now.

in the palace.

Zheng He slowly opened his pocket.

The two crops inside are exposed...
