Zhu Zhen was about to turn his head to continue watching the show, but he heard Yunxi say: "Second brother, do you remember that when you went to school to study "Historical Records", the princes of Dongyi at the turn of Yin and Zhou were happy? ”

"This," Yun Wei thought for a while before he said: "Official, I remember that Hou Xinai was a prince of Huaiyi in Dongyi in the last years of Yin Shang, loyal to the king of Shang. In the first year of King Wu of Zhou, King Shang sent Hou Xi to lead troops to attack other Dongyi tribes, King Wu of Zhou took the opportunity to defeat King Shang in Muye, and King Shang withdrew to Lutai, and then burned himself to death. King Wu of Zhou won the world. ”

After learning about King Wu of Zhou's expedition, Hou Xi intended to be the king of Qin, but before he returned, it was reported that the king of Shang had self-immolated and died. Yu Hou Xi stopped King Qin, and then disappeared. ”

"Don't you think it's weird?" Yun Xi said with a smile: "You Hou Xi had tens of thousands of troops at that time, but he disappeared after that. ”

"It's a little weird indeed." When Yun Wei heard Yun Xi's words, he also thought about it: "The official family, at that time, there were few people in the Central Plains, and tens of thousands of troops were already powerful princes, whether they did not obey the orders of King Wu of Zhou to rebel, or accepted the canonization of King Wu of Zhou as a prince, it should be recorded in the "Historical Records". ”

"There are very few historical materials that have been handed down at that time, and there is no record of Youhou Xi. Tai Shi Gong didn't know either, so he didn't dare to scribble in the "Historical Records". Yun Wei guessed.

Yun Wei's guess is very reasonable, at the turn of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was not even parchment and silk, the words were engraved on the tripod, and many things could not be recorded and passed on to future generations.

But Yun Xi didn't come to such a conclusion after talking to him for a long time. After listening to Yun Wei's speculation, he smiled and said, "Your guess is also reasonable, but the news that has come recently, maybe Hou Xi has other places to go." ”

Yun Xi was about to ask, when he suddenly heard a voice from Yun Xi's right side: "Official, could it be that Hou Xi led his troops to the Han Continent back then?" ”

"Sixth uncle, your sudden interjection startled my nephew, but your guess is good, I do think that You Houxi may have led his troops to the Hanzhou Continent back then." Yun Xi said.

Yun Wei immediately showed a surprised expression. It's unbelievable. You Houxi actually led his troops to the newly discovered Hanzhou Continent back then? Not only him, but even Zhu Zhen, who heard Yunxi's meaning and made a guess, was surprised.

"How so?" Zhu Zhen said: "How could he have gone to the Han Continent more than two thousand years ago? ”

He couldn't believe it completely. After Yun Xi's reminder, many people in the royal family carefully studied the weapons, farm tools or other utensils used in the previous dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, especially the three dynasties, and knew that the ships at that time were very backward, and the navigation technology was close to zero, and the possibility of going to sea from Shandong to the Hanzhou continent was too small.

"Don't hide it from the sixth uncle, my nephew also thinks it's very incredible and unimaginable. But when I summoned Fang Mingqian, he gave me such a thing. As he spoke, Yoon-hee took out an object. Yun Wei and Zhu Zhen looked at each other and saw that what was in Yun Xi's hand was a jade artifact.

"A piece of jade? So what? Zhu Zhen was puzzled.

"Sixth uncle, my nephew has been divided into feudal kings in the past few years, and after defeating Samarkand, there is an envoy from the country of the extreme west to visit my nephew, and almost all civilized countries know something. But among them, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, which other country likes jade? ”

"It is true that only the people of Daming and the nearby Fanguo who were influenced by the Ming Dynasty like jade, but the people of the Hanzhou Continent are newly discovered people, and other countries do not like jade as much as the Daming, and the natives of the Hanzhou Continent may not be able to like jade." Zhu Zhen said.

"What Uncle Sixth said also makes sense, but this piece of jade," Yun Xi raised the jade in his hand: "Its carving is very similar to the carving technique of jade handed down from the Yin Shang dynasty in the third generation." ”

"What?" Hearing this, Zhu Zhen suddenly became excited. It is strange but not impossible that there were civilizations in distant places that liked jade and were not influenced by the Han Chinese; But if even the carving process is the same as Yin Shang's jade, this is very unusual. This means that this civilization must have some connection with the Chinese civilization.

"Is this true? Official? Zhu Zhen asked. He didn't know what the style of Yin Shang's jade was, so he could only ask.

It was quite rude to ask the emperor like this in this era, but Yun Xi was not angry, but said with a smile: "I have two pieces of jade from the Yin Shang period hidden in the palace, if the sixth uncle doesn't believe it, you can take them and compare them with this jade." ”

"How could the officials be mistaken? Comparisons don't have to be. I was just too surprised to ask this sentence. Zhu Zhen reacted that what he had just said was not appropriate, and hurriedly said a few words, and then turned back to the topic of the natives of Hanzhou: "In this way, the natives of Hanzhou are really descendants of Yin Shang. ”

"Not all of them are descendants of Yin Shang, but they must be related to Yin Shang." Yun Xi said again: "You may not know that in the south of the land occupied by the Twelfth Uncle, about 20 degrees at latitude, there is a country that has built a huge high platform, and even the Ming Dynasty has no buildings that can be compared with it. ”

After hearing what Fang Mingqian said, the nephew immediately thought of the star-picking tower built by the king of Shang, because the wooden building had been destroyed for a long time, and only the star-picking platform remained. The high platform mentioned by Fang Mingqian may be modeled after the star-picking tower built by the king of Shang back then. Also because of the age, the wooden building was destroyed. ”

"There are still people with civilization in the Han Continent? Why didn't he tell me when I went to visit Fong? Zhu Zhen asked in surprise.

"There are indeed civilized people in the Han Continent, but for the sake of safety, my nephew asked Fang Mingqian not to say it to others for the time being. So he didn't tell Uncle Six, Uncle Six, you must not blame him. ”

"I don't know how this civilization is, because there were too few people led by Fang Mingqian at that time, even if the entire soldiers who explored the east were counted, there were not many people, so they didn't dare to act rashly, and they withdrew without meeting the locals."

"That's fine. Even if they are descendants of Yin Shang, they may not recognize the people who came from their homeland more than 2,000 years later. But in this way, the vast Hanzhou continent does not have much territory left for the Ming Dynasty, and it is enough to have one of the twelve brothers in Hanzhou, and there is no need to divide the vassal king. Zhu Zhen said with a little pity. He really wanted to explore the New World, but it seemed that he didn't need to do so.

"My nephew felt that someone needed to educate them." Yun Xi said: "Although Yin Shang is also the ancestor of my Chinese civilization, but today, after King Wu of Zhou established Zhou Li, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Hundred Schools, and the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, today's Chinese civilization is very different from Yin Shang's time, and someone should educate these people and let them learn today's Chinese civilization." ”

"And at this time, these Yin Shang descendants may not be very strong." Yun Xi said: "In the Western Regions before, after defeating Samarkand, I briefly captured Timur. He told me that the development of civilization has a great deal to do with exchanges, and that countries that have more exchanges with foreign vassals have more advanced civilizations. ”

The nephew thought about it and felt that there was some truth in what he said. If this were the case, human civilization would not have developed much if it had not communicated with the outside world for more than 2,000 years. Since civilization has rarely developed, the weapons and utensils used may not have changed, even if it can be built like the tall star-picking platform in the time of the Yin Shang, maybe it is still the bronze weapons of the Yin Shang, and the soldiers sent by the Ming Dynasty may not be able to defeat the guards sent by the Ming Dynasty. ”

"If the people of the Han Continent still fight in chariots and use bronze weapons as they did in the Yin Shang period, then the current guards of the Ming Dynasty are enough to be ten or even tens, even if they are very brave, it is useless." Zhu Zhen said confidently. The difference in weapons is very important. Bronze is soft and will break off on contact with an iron weapon. As for the use of stones as weapons, it limits the types of weapons and is easier to deal with.

He once led troops in Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang and other places to deal with the local rebel barbarians, even if they were very brave, but with the Ming army head-on, the Ming army 1,000 soldiers could defeat them tens of thousands, if it were not for the rugged terrain in the southwest, those barbarians would have been wiped out long ago. It is absolutely impossible for the combat effectiveness of the army of the Yin Shang period to exceed the southwestern barbarians at this time, and it will be easy to defeat them.

"Haha, sixth uncle, nephew sees that you are very willing to go to the Hanzhou Continent!" Yun Xi smiled.

"That's true. Official, I am willing to go to the Han continent to fight a battle with the local descendants of Yin Shang to see if they are as backward as the official family says, if this is the case, I will lead my troops to conquer them and establish a feudal domain; If this were not the case, they would have to retreat to the north and establish a vassal state north or east of the Shang domain. Speaking of this, Zhu Zhen suddenly realized: "No wonder the official family will change the title of the twelfth brother to the king of Shang, it was originally thought that the local people might be descendants of Yin Shang." ”

"If that's the case, the official family, it's better to change my title to King Yin." He smiled again.

"If you like the title of King Yin, my nephew will change the title of King Yin." Yun Xi smiled.

"Really?" Zhu Zhen originally just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't think about Yun Xi but agreed, he hurriedly tried to see if Yun Xi was joking or serious.

"Of course it is." Yun Xi Zhengse said: "It's just a title, and it's very appropriate, since the sixth uncle likes it, of course the nephew is willing to give it to the uncle." ”

"From now on, my title will be King Yin." Zhu Zhen thought about it for a long time, felt that the title of King Yin was good, and said.

"My nephew has seen Uncle Yin." Yoon-hee joked.
