Chapter 19: The Beginning of the Navy (Part II)

Ding, ding, ding, the bell for class rang again.......

"Su Yi, this is yours, Liu Renliang, this is your .........." With Li Chengzong's roll call, the students of the senior captain class all got a book called "Navigation Knowledge" in their hands, and they all looked at this book with the fragrance of ink curiously, this is the first time that a wire-bound book has appeared in front of the world, "The commander has a moth again, hey?" It's a lot more convenient than those scroll books......." The students didn't think so.

"Okay, don't argue, you open the book, have you seen it, skimming the preface, you don't need to read the sea power theory, the important thing is the map at the back, have you seen it? This is the world we step on......." Li Chengzong knocked on the ring ruler, this map is his proud work, it is a copy of the world map of later generations. Of course, the annotations on the map are copied from Li Chengzong's own memory, and in some places, it is impossible to be too accurate. However, it is infinitely more accurate than any map of this era.

Looking at the surprised faces of the audience, Li Chengzong said slowly: "Don't be surprised, our world is spherical. We live on the surface of a huge spherical body. It's just because the ball is so big that we feel like the surface is flat. We often see the sea and the sky on the horizon coincide with each other, because our world is actually curved. ”

There is no doubt that Li Chengzong's words shook everyone present. To be precise, it is everyone except Su Lie, very early, Li Chengzong mentioned the earth to Su Lie, Su Lie also said that someone had already mentioned this, Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty said that the earth is like an egg, Li Chengzong heard that Zhang Heng's statement is actually not accurate, the earth is a slightly flattened poles, the equator is slightly bulging flat sphere, Su Lie heard today that Li Chengzong was going to explain the map to the group of boys in the captain's class, he was interested for a while, and then came to see what flowers his born brother could say?

The eyes of other people subconsciously looked at Li Chengzong. The reason is very simple, everyone has always thought that China is the center of the world, the sky is round, and China is the center of the world. However, judging from the map given to them by Li Chengzong, Huaxia only occupies a very small part.

"Any questions you need to ask?" Li Chengzong looked at them with shining eyes and asked slowly.

"Archon, is the world really that big?" Su Wei, who has always been silent, asked cautiously.

Li Chengzong nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "That's right, the world is really that big. Although China is already very large, with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, vast plains, endless mountains, boundless deserts, and the winding Yangtze River and the Yellow River, I must tell you that compared with the rest of the world, China is still very small. ”

After a slight pause, Li Chengzong said slowly: "Unless it is, expand our land to all regions of the world." Let us Han people live on all the lands of the world. If we do that, we are qualified to say that our country is the world and the world is our country. ”

Liu Renliang asked, "Great Commander, are there Han people in other parts of the world?" ”

Li Chengzong replied: "This should not be there, unless we have already controlled it and then immigrated from the Central Plains." In other parts of the world, there are other diverse peoples. They are completely different from us Han Chinese. Some people's skin is completely white, and some people's skin is completely dark......"

"Brother Xian, do you mean someone with black skin all over his body? You mean Kunlun slaves? I've seen it in Luoyang, and it's really dark enough..... Did they get sick to turn black? Su Lie couldn't help but interject.

"No, these Kunlun slaves are actually not black, in the continent of Aphiriga that I marked for you on the map, there are even darker people, they have curly hair and black bodies, they are just like coal spirits, these people are not sick like this, they are born black."

"You see, to the north of the Great Sui are the two Hu Khanates, to the northeast is Goguryeo, next to them are Silla and Baekje, and to the east of Baekje are the Wa kingdoms......... There are many small countries in the south of the Great Sui, what Zhancheng, what Funan, Zhenla, Piu, there is a country called Gantoli on the archipelago further south of them, I prefer to call them the Three Buddhas, and then to the west is the Tianzhu Kingdom, the west of the Tianzhu Kingdom is Sassanid Persia, and there is a rising Great Food Country, to the west of them is the Great Qin State recorded in our history books, the real name of this Great Qin is the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire is divided, Western Rome has long been in the garbage heap, only this Eastern Rome is still strong, In particular, their current monarch, Heraclius, is a man of a generation who should not be underestimated....... On the ruins of Western Rome was a state founded by a group of barbarians, with the Franks being the most powerful........

This is the territory of the master, their civilization is not inferior to our Huaxia, don't underestimate others, otherwise you will suffer a big loss, and here, well, you look here, the land here is vast and rich, and the products are abundant, I will call it the Americas, some of our Han ancestors have arrived there, but unfortunately they forgot the glory of their ancestors and degenerated into savages........."

"Huh? Americas? Brother Xian, is it the matter of the Yin people's eastward crossing that you told me before? Su Lie's face was excited, Yin people are also an important part of the ancestors of Huaxia.

"Yes, back then, King Wu attacked the capital and broke through the capital of Chaoge, and the king set himself on fire in Lutai. But at this time, the main force of the 100,000 army commanded by Hou Xi, 150,000 people including Lin Fang, Renfang, and Hufang, as well as Zhuzhou and Zhuzhuzhu, suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown. Where did the 250,000 Yin merchant soldiers and civilians go? They went to the Americas, and they rebuilt the Yin Shang in a place called Olmec, but unfortunately, this Yin Shang was also a little uncompromising, and was assimilated by the local savages....... By now, most of them have forgotten that they come from the great land of China, and that they have the sacred blood of the Han people of China flowing in their bodies........."

"Great Commander, what else are you talking about, hurry up and build a good ship, let's go and teach these guys who have forgotten their ancestors and forgotten the glory of their ancestors......" Su Yi is a typical warmonger.

"Bah, what a lesson, they are just too far away from home and forgot the family rules, Great Commander, did God tell you to let you lead us to occupy the distance, preach kinghood, and educate barbarians?" Look at Liu Renliang who is worthy of being a cultural person, and he has a level when he speaks.

Heaven? Hehehe, isn't it, I came to this time and space by mistake, isn't it the will of God, Liu Renliang and they are so excited, it is because most of them are from civilian backgrounds, and it is best to be from a landlord like Su Lie, they don't believe in the noble theory of the blood of the Shi clan, and they are not satisfied with the monopoly of the Shi clan gate valve in all aspects. The strength of the Huaxia Shi clan is so strong, so strong that they can hardly see hope, but now that someone has pointed out a path that can make them glorify their ancestors in the annals of history, how can they not be happy?

What is most admired in China? The most memorable? In addition to those cultural people, that is to expand the territory, Zhao Tuo, Li Bing, Zhuang Qiao, Qin Kai, Sima Cuo, Zhang Qian, Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, all great names are telling this glory......

"What I said must be kept strictly secret from the Shi clan lords, they are our greatest enemies........" Li Chengzong finally said, "At the moment, our forces are still weak...... Therefore, we need to cultivate our obscurity and accumulate strength..... once the time is ripe, we will be the gravediggers of the scholar clan!!! ”

When Li Chengzong said that he wanted to be the gravedigger of the Shi clan's gate lord, everyone present suddenly became excited, and they all said, "Huh..... We are all the leaders of the horses, and we are looking forward to ..........."

Even Su Lie got up and bowed: "Brother Xian, if there is chaos today, since you have the ambition to lead us and others to fight a way out of the cold gate, we should worship you as the Lord, Su Lie and Su Dingfang will meet the Lord........"

"I'll Wait to Meet the Lord......."

Li Chengzong was stunned, "Big brother, you, why are you suffering......."
