The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 336 The Ming Dynasty Attacks

"Is that a painting?"

"A gift from the divine bird!"

Their gazes looking at the scroll in Shi Miaorou's hand were full of passion.

At the same time, he was speculating in his mind about what was drawn in the scroll, and was full of curiosity about the content in the scroll.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on the scroll in Shi Miaorou's hand, and at the same time, they were very curious about what was drawn in the scroll.

However, they all knew very well that the things given by the divine bird should be extraordinary, and they should not have the opportunity to see them. I just hope that after seeing it, Shi Miaorou can tell them what it is.

At this time, Shi Miaorou looked at the scroll in her hand, and her heart was full of doubts. She also knew that it was a gift from the divine bird, but there was no sound of the divine bird in her ears, which made Shi Miaorou even more confused.

However, since the sacred bird has been taken out directly, it should not be something that must be kept secret, so under the gaze of everyone in the hall, Shi Miaorou slowly opened the scroll in his hand.

Immediately, what unfolded before his eyes was a strange picture with bright colors and complicated lines. But the next moment, she understood what the thing in her hand was.

Some people can't help but wonder.

Shi Miaorou was shocked. Although she had heard the divine bird talk about how big the world was before, she had never had an intuitive feeling. But at this moment, with the map in front of her, she truly felt how big the world was!
Below, in the main hall, the civil and military officials saw Shi Miaorou's expression and noticed the shocked look on Shi Miaorou's face. They became more curious and couldn't help but guess what was drawn in the scroll.

"I'll keep this in mind!"

"Afterwards, I will order someone to copy the map of the world. Of course, it must be kept confidential. After all, there are many people from the Western Regions in the Ming Dynasty. You must remember not to let the people from the Western Regions get this map!"

"Huh? Why does the map of the entire world appear oval?"

"May I ask, sir, are overseas locations mapped out in detail on this map?"

"These territories should all belong to me, the Ming Dynasty!"

"This map is so detailed!"

When many people were looking at the map carefully, some people couldn't help but sigh:

But Shi Miaorou nodded slightly, agreed with the other party's guess, and then said: "This map not only depicts the South China Sea, but even the entire world!"

"Why suddenly..."

After hearing Shi Miaorou's words, solemn expressions appeared on their faces, and then they all responded.

At this time, a waiter on the side came forward, took the scroll from Shi Miaorou's hand, and then stood quietly, closer to the bottom so that the people below could see it.

After that, everyone's eyes were focused on the world map again. After everyone took a look at the map, Shi Miaorou asked someone to put the map away.

Regarding the first doubt, someone answered: "It is recorded in ancient books that the land we are standing on is not actually the so-called round sky, but the entire earth is also round, and we are just standing on the surface of the circle. That’s all!”

"...The Ming Dynasty is really just a corner of the world!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall involuntarily saluted Shi Miaorou. Of course, the one they really saluted was the divine bird.

"Kan Yutu?!"

"..."

While everyone was exclaiming, Shi Miaorou slowly turned the scroll over so that the people below could see it.

While Shi Miaorou was confused, she quickly looked at the picture and saw that the words on the picture were also written by the Ming Dynasty, so that she could understand them directly.

Moreover, it is somewhat different from all the Kanyu maps in the Ming Dynasty today.

"Kanyu map?"

However, how could they not understand that the things given by the divine bird are extraordinary, and after some connection with what they said before, they immediately understood why the divine bird gave Kanyu the map.

In the map, the sea is blue, and the land is divided into two colors. One is the current territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is represented by red, while other non-Ming territory are all gray and white.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Shi Miaorou again.

Because, she found that the Kanyu map in her hand seemed unusual!

Shi Miaorou naturally saw the eyes of everyone below and the curiosity in them, so she said directly without being verbose: "The thing given by the divine bird is an unparalleled map!"

After a long time, Shi Miaorou raised his head and then turned his attention to everyone in the hall.

"Why is it just a poor map?"

Seeing this, Shi Miaorou did not refuse, and quietly watched the people below him bow down, accepting it on behalf of the divine bird. Although the divine bird doesn't care about all this at all.

But these are not the things that shocked Shi Miaorou. What shocked her was the map itself!
"Such a vast area..."

"It's so exquisite. Just the map itself is a priceless treasure!"

Hearing Shi Miaorou's answer, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was just an unworthy map, but they bothered the divine bird to give it to them personally.

"...The Ming Dynasty is just a corner of the world!"

"Across the vast ocean in the east, there is such a vast territory..."

The next moment, Shi Miaorou was shocked by the Kanyu map in her hand.

"This is……"

"The divine bird lamented the difficulties of our Ming Dynasty and specially gave us the world geomancy map. Thank you very much, divine bird!"

Although they didn't know where the divine bird was, they knew that the divine bird was attached to Shi Miaorou, so they bowed deeply to Shi Miaorou.

"The whole world?!"

Afterwards, they talked about exploring overseas territories again according to the world map.

"With this map of the world, we can clearly see that there are so many islands in the South Sea and the sea!"

"If my Ming Dynasty's warship wants to pass here, I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

"Looking at it this way, it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

I saw one person pointing to the Strait of Malacca in later generations, and then discussing it. Afterwards, they always believed that this strait was extremely important and should be under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Miaorou on the side nodded slightly after hearing this, and then said: "That's fine..."

"When the Ming Dynasty regains Jiaozhi, they can march southward and then incorporate the entire strait into the Ming Dynasty's territory!"

"By the way, what's the climate like in Nanyang?"

"It's hot and humid all year round with lots of rain. More importantly..."

Only one general was seen coming out. He obviously knew a lot about the matter. "More importantly, there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants in Nanyang. If the Ming Dynasty decides to launch troops in Nanyang, I am afraid that we need to pay special attention to this!"

"nature!"

Hearing this, Shi Miaorou also nodded seriously, and then said: "The lives of the soldiers of the Tongkang Army are the most important thing. Even if we are unable to advance quickly for a while, we must pay attention to the safety of the soldiers! This must always be told to the generals below!"

"Yes!"

The general who spoke nodded and then responded.

"General Zhu can prepare for this matter. The logistics can be discussed with the Ministry of Household Affairs..."

Shi Miaorou looked at Zhu Di, the general of the Tongkang Army of the Ming Dynasty, who heard the words and immediately took the order.

Afterwards, the court began to discuss the use of troops by the South Vietnamese country, followed by various details.

……

Bai Zhi, who was hidden in the invisible void, looked at this scene and felt very happy in his heart. Just now, he embodied the world map and gave it to them directly because he wanted to help Ming expand his territory. After all, with the help of the world map, Ming could save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty did not let down Bai Zhi's good intentions. They saw that there was so much land outside the Ming Dynasty, how could they not be moved!

After all, if it all became Ming Dynasty’s land, how much food could be grown!

……

Beiping City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty no longer had any of the characteristics of the Yuan people. Although Beiping City was built by the Yuan people to a certain extent, after the Ming Dynasty recovered Beiping City, it continued to repair it.

Not only the palace, but the entire city is also expanding.

The spacious streets are twenty feet wide, and a certain city is penetrated by streets in the middle.

The residences for the people there have also been carefully planned and built, neatly arranged and pleasing to the eye.

At the same time, the former city walls and gates had long since been knocked down, and then the buildings in the city were once again extended outwards.

Because the city of Beiping expanded so fast, when it was decided to expand the city and rebuild the city walls, it was often necessary to expand outwards.

Therefore, the speed of building city walls often cannot keep up with the speed of city expansion.

At the same time, the roar of steam engines continued to sound in the city, and huge machines stretched across the land to transport goods or build houses.

And the people living in the city also have smiles on their faces.

After all, the weather was good in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and after paying the taxes, there would still be a lot of food left in the fields. The harvest of one season could feed the family for a whole year.

Therefore, the imperial court issued many decrees to Tongkanghui, asking the people to store food carefully and not to waste it.

Because there is so much food, some people have forgotten their respect for food and their diligence and thrift.

Huge chimneys soared into the sky, puffing out thick smoke.

"Woo..."

So far, on the edge of the city, there is a long creation slowly driving by. Although it looks very slow from a distance, it is very fast when it is close.

"What is that?"

Outside the city, some people were farming. They raised their heads to touch the weeds in their hands into the ridges of the fields, and then looked up in the direction of the sound.

"That seems to be the steam engine that the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court has just released?"

"Steam engines can't move, but this one can!"

"Who knows! Anyway, it was developed by the Ministry of Industry. In recent years, craftsmen have become more and more popular!"

"The Ministry of Works has recruited craftsmen from generals, and the wages are generous!"

A farmer said: "My neighbor's distant cousin's uncle is a craftsman who was asked to work by the Ministry of Works. Although we rarely meet each other on weekdays and cannot disclose what the Ministry of Works does at will, the salary is enough for a month." Fifty taels of silver!"

"Hey! Isn't this higher than a senior official in the court?!"

"Who says it isn't?"

While the two old men were talking, a young man on the side also raised his body, threw away the weeds in his hands, and then looked at the steel creation on the earth in the distance.

After watching for a moment, the young man suddenly interrupted the two old men and said, "That's a train! It's a new steam engine just built by the imperial court!"

"train?"

train……

The two old men pondered for a moment, then took another look at the train going away in the distance, and then suddenly realized, "So that's it, this train should have the same function as a horse-drawn carriage or an ox cart, it is used to pull grain!"

"It's really possible!"

When the young man heard the conversation between the two, he hesitated to speak, but there was a look of determination on his face.

Seeing the young man's reaction, one of the two old men on the side patted the young man's shoulder with his palm stained green by the weeds and leaves, and then encouraged him: "You study hard in the Junzi Building and you will also be a craftsman in the future! "

"Ok!"

The young man nodded heavily, a look of determination on his face.

……

The entire Ming Dynasty was full of prosperity, and because of the Tongkang Society, anything built on the land was extremely fast.

Especially when it comes to paving roads and building bridges, the central government often issues a plan, and the people below are ready in a very short period of time, just waiting for an order.

After all, everyone understands that paving roads and building bridges has great benefits for everyone.

As for whose land was occupied when building the road?

This is also a trivial matter. After all, there are many public lands in the Tongkang Association. How much land is occupied will be directly compensated, and even the land is better land.

"Huh? Didn't our Tongkang Association just build a road? Why are we still building roads?"

In a village, the administrator of the Tongkang Association received an order from above, with a look of confusion on his face.

"But this time the construction task seems to be different from the previous one..."

"What's the difference?"

"It seems that a lot of steel, gravel, and wood must be prepared to build the road this time. As for the detailed tasks, the imperial court will need to send specialized craftsmen!"

"..."

After hearing this, the other person was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Have you heard? It seems that the imperial court is preparing to use military force against the Kingdom of Nanyue to recapture the former territory of Jiaozhi!"

"And there should be imperial supplies passing by here..."

"Could it be..."

……

"Woo..."

The giant steel dragon roared across the ground, and at the same time thick smoke billowed from where it roared. The huge sound attracted the people in the fields in the distance.

"It turns out that the steel roads built were actually used to carry steam engines..."

"That's the train..."

On the train, you can see the general's food, and at the same time, there are also the general's soldiers.

The train ran through the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was preparing to use troops against South Vietnam, but very few soldiers from the north were used. Most of them were Tongkang soldiers recruited from the Guangdong and Guangxi areas in the south.

"The imperial court is going to war!"

"This time the imperial court uses troops, it will definitely win a big victory. The Nanyue Kingdom is just a country chicken and a dog!"

After all, in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, the small southern countries are nothing more than vassals of China, nothing more than a small sect!
To be able to become the king of a country, they still need to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty!

As for the use of troops by the South Vietnamese State, the Ming Dynasty was famous for its purpose of recovering Jiaozhi, the homeland of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Ming Dynasty should have also notified the King of South Vietnam at this time, hoping that the King of South Vietnam would be wise and take the initiative to surrender.
