Zheng He's chart!

In another world, there have been many opinions about its whereabouts. Of course, the most widespread legend is that he was burned down by Liu Daxia.

Zheng He's Charts, whose full name is "From Bao Shipyard to Longjiang Guanshui to Foreign Countries", records in detail all the hydrological routes from Liujiagang to East Africa during Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, including the weather, landforms and even customs and folklore of major countries along the way. Every word, even every stroke, is the brainchild of dozens of navigators. Its comprehensive documentation and accurate data collation can be called a treasure of civilization in the history of human navigation. To describe it as "priceless" is not an exaggeration.

But such a major cultural treasure disappeared without a trace after the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Only in the Ming Dynasty spear Yuanyi's "Wubei Zhi", its relevant drawing catalogue is retained.

In the face of Zheng He's magnificent battle when he went to the West, and in the face of the invasion of the West in modern times, the people were even more sad and indignant, and said with Liang Qichao's indignant cry: After Zheng He, there will be no Zheng He.

So, why is there no more Zheng He?

Because as a great treasure that condenses this prosperous civilization: "Zheng He's Chart" has long been ruthlessly burned and hidden in the dust and smoke of history.

Who burned the charts?

Some people say that it is Liu Daxia, but in fact, this is just a joke full of loopholes.

Where is the truth?

How did Zheng He's chart disappear? Where did it go?

In the past, Shi Yiwen didn't know, but in the past year, through the reprinting of the Ouchi collection, he finally learned the answer, the Ming generation, Zheng He's charts were well preserved in the Ouchi, and they had never been destroyed by others. It is believed to have been burned by the Manchus along with millions of volumes of the Ouchi Collection, and has since disappeared from the world.

"As long as I have the chart of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, I will definitely be able to return to Daming safely!"

Hearing that, Zhu Yijun hurriedly turned his head and asked the guest behind him.

"Where is Zheng He's chart?"

Because he had been in charge of the transcription of Ouchi's secret vault during this time, he must have known the most about this matter.

"Back to the emperor, Zheng Gonggong's sea line map and treasure ship map of the Western Ocean were originally placed in Nanjing, and later they were transported to the capital with the collection of books in Nanjing. The guest explanation finally answered the doubts in Shi Yiwen's heart, and sure enough, the so-called Liu Daxia burning picture is just someone else's joke, after all, the "Da Ming Law" clearly stipulates: Anyone who abandons the destruction of the book and the holy decree of the imperial treasure of the horse, and sets off the boat to verify it, if the yamen seal the letter and the bronze medal of the night patrol, behead! If anyone destroys official documents, he will have a hundred rods! Just according to the law, if Liu Daxia really did this, the end can be imagined.

Even if Liu Daxia burned the picture for a while, no one asked, he later did it all the way to the Hongli and Zhengde dynasties, and the ups and downs he experienced during this period were naturally countless, once a political enemy made a fuss about this, how could he Liu Daxia get out of it, but the problem was that even his political enemies did not mention this matter, obviously this is just nonsense. The so-called being burned by him is just a far-fetched or speculation of later generations.

Now it's okay, since the picture is there, then ...... It's just the right time to bookmark it! In fact, it's just a collectible. After all, compared to this era, he had more modern maps and navigation methods, and he did not need the guidance of Zheng He's charts at all.

Hearing Shi Yiwen say that the chart is so important, Zhu Yijun immediately commanded.

"In this case, guest use, after returning to the palace, take out the chart and hand it over to Zhiyuan."

A good friend wants to go to sea, and he can't let his friend encounter any kind of risk at sea.

"Take out the original map, save in case you copy it wrong."

"The little slave obeys."

Because he has been in charge of copying the books in the Ouchi Secret Collection, he also has a certain understanding of those books, so he added.

"General Director Shi, in addition to the charts, there are also the customs and customs of various parts of the West recorded by the people back then, I don't know if the General Department needs these books, if the small ones are not mistaken, there should be more than 1,700 volumes."

Hearing this, Shi Yiwen was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out:

"What? There are more than 1,700 books that record the customs and customs of various places? ”

Maybe the nautical chart is not important to him, but the information about the local customs of those roads is very important, which can be said to be the key to the most critical step of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"Exactly, they are all records of the arrival of the fleet in various places that year, and if the General Division is interested, the small one will order someone to send it over."

The guest said seriously. In fact, he also didn't want Shi Yiwen to go to sea, because he knew very well that a considerable part of the reason why he was favored by the emperor now was because the person in front of him would maintain contact with him on his own as long as he was in the emperor.

Now that he must go to the sea, he will definitely try his best to help those who can help, so that he can return to Daming safely. After all, it's also in your own interest.

"Yes, of course ......"

Shi Yiwen's evidence seemed a little excited, and he was even more excited and almost screamed, after all, there is too little information about Zheng He's voyage to the West in later generations, only some simple written records, no nautical charts, no logbooks, where he has been, what is the local environment, and so on, have been bothering later generations of scholars, and even some so-called experts and scholars suspect that Zheng He once sailed there, of course, some people speculate that his team once arrived in the Americas, But all of this is just a few words of writing, or a legend of the people. Now with those books or "logbooks", all the answers can be answered, where did the ship sail back then, what did it see? Only those records speak for themselves. Well, as for comparing those logbooks, as for the local customs, Shi Yiwen doesn't care at all, after all, the so-called customs are not as strong as the cannon.

"A hundred volumes of international public law are not as good as a few cannons, and a few books of friendship treaties are not as good as a basket of ammunition", in this era of the law of the jungle, "following the local customs" has always been the choice of the colonists, and the colonists will not care about all this, after all, their purpose is to rule!

Excited in his heart, Shi Yiwen said to the guest again.

"In this way, Father-in-law Lao will send all the charts and books as soon as possible, after all, my side must hurry up and build a ship to go to sea, so as not to miss this year's monsoon."

Seeing him so eagerly, Zhu Yijun said with some sighs.

"Zhiyuan, it seems that you still have the old port in mind."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, and suddenly had an intuition for him that his good friend might leave him one day and leave Daming, maybe at that time, the two might never see each other for life.

Belch...... Seeing this, Shi Yiwen hurriedly explained.

"The old port is also the land under the Ming Dynasty, but this time, I won't go to the old port, where ...... "Who is ruling the old port now?" Dutch, or native? It doesn't matter, the important thing is that he is about to lead the Ming fleet into the South Seas, and the Ming Dynasty will set foot on the land of the South Seas again in the future.

Now it's the South Seas, then it's the West, it's - the whole world!

"It's occupied by outsiders now, so let's wait until we have the opportunity in the future!"

"Let outsiders take possession? That's nothing! ”

Waving his hand, Zhu Yijun stared at Shi Yiwen and said.

"When there is a chance in the future, I will let you lead the troops over and take back the old port, and when the time comes, I will seal you as a ......"

When the words came to his mouth, Zhu Yijun suddenly stopped talking, he didn't want to never see his good friend again, he looked at Shi Yiwen for a while before saying.

"When the time comes, then you and me...... No, no......"

Shaking his head, Zhu Yijun stared at Shi Yiwen and said in an extremely serious tone.

"When the time comes, you can't go to Nanyang, it's too far away from Daming, you are my friend, let's drink wine and eat meat together, in the future, my son will marry your daughter, and my daughter will marry your son!" I still have to be a family of children! ”

When he said this, he didn't think too much, it was completely out of reluctance to his friends, and it was completely out of his inner feelings.

Zhu Yijun's words moved Shi Yiwen's heart for a while, and in addition to being moved, because of his words, he secretly thought of another thing, and I don't know how he and the queen's body is recuperating, if the queen can have a child, perhaps, the future will be very different.

A month ago, in order to avoid the incident that happened in history, or to change history, and not to let the historical Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo be born, Shi Yiwen deliberately quietly gave the little emperor some medicines, in fact, some drugs such as vitamin E, hoping to improve the emperor's body, so that he and the queen could give birth to children as soon as possible, and then completely change history.

Now Shi Yiwen's heart wants to know the effects of those medicines. Whether it has any effect or not, there must be a message! Why hasn't there been a sound for so long?

Seeing that Shi Yiwen fell into silence, thinking that he might still remember the things in Nanjing, Zhu Yijun said seriously.

"Zhiyuan, don't worry about it here, the Nanjing incident, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

The little emperor's words made Shi Yiwen stunned, explain? What kind of confession?

In the face of the emperor's promise, Shi Yiwen was even speechless for a while, after all, everyone knew that the emperor would never make any promises to others easily, but now this little emperor made such a promise to himself.

Although it is not known what such a promise means. But what is certain is that he will definitely give himself an explanation.

So how should I repay him?
