Li Nan also knows a little about the famous "Zheng He's Navigation Chart", but he really doesn't know as much about many details as Angelica in front of him.

Perhaps because Westerners are more closely connected with the sea, while Orientals like land, Zheng He, who led the fleet to the West seven times, is more famous in Western countries.

The original name of this map was "From the treasure shipyard to the water from Longjiang Pass to foreign countries", and later people mostly referred to it as "Zheng He's navigation chart".

It is said that the "Zheng He's Navigation Chart" starts from Nanjing and goes as far as Slow Basa (present-day Mombasa, Kenya) on the east coast of Africa. The map indicates the location of the Asian and African countries through which the route passes, the distance and depth of the shipping lane, and the direction of navigation, as well as the height of the star, and where there are reefs or shoals.

The diagram lists a total of 56 needle routes (routes marked by a compass indicating directions) from Taicang to Khurumus (near present-day Abadan, Iran) and a total of 53 needle routes from Khurumus back to Taicang.

Hearing Angelica say this, Li Nan was suspicious.

It is indeed important to have a detailed navigation chart in this era, but since the armed merchant ships of the Spanish and Portuguese have reached the East, it means that the navigation technology of Western countries is already very powerful, and even surpasses the Ming Dynasty in the range and power of shipboard artillery.

With these questions, Li Nan continued to press Angelica, but this little Spanish beauty always talked about it.

Li Nan, who has been mixed in this many worlds, has extremely rich experience, and there are many ways to deal with women, so he immediately asked Zheng Wen to call in the two white-haired zombies.

Although this kind of zombie refined from corpses has not begun to decay because it can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and consume blood, they are either iron blue or pale, and they are definitely not beautiful.

Li Nan took a Spanish sword from the wall, pulled it out, and plunged it into the belly of the white-haired zombie.

"This is my subordinate who has been refined with secret methods, they don't know pain, they don't age, and most importantly, they are loyal to me and have no secrets."

Reaching out to caress Angelica's fair and delicate cheeks, Li Nan asked with a smile, "Do you want to be as young as them?" ”

Angelica looked at the white-haired zombie's lifeless eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Forget it, I'm very satisfied with the way I look now." ”

In the face of Li Nan, who has changeable means, is extremely smart, and has the absolute upper hand, no matter how cunning the Spanish beauty Angelica is, she can't play any tricks, so she has to tell the secrets she knows.

It turned out that Zheng He led the fleet to the West seven times has two completely different versions in the East and the West.

In the Ming Dynasty in the East, for Zheng He's voyage to the West, Emperor Zhu Di was concerned about whether he could deter the surrounding countries, of course, some people said that it was to search for the previous emperor, his nephew Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and by the way to conduct ocean trade with overseas countries.

The version that has been circulated in the Western world focuses on the "Crossing the Ocean and the Stars Map".

The "Crossing the Stars Map" that Angelica wanted was said to be made of a rare golden bamboo. Not only are there many routes to various countries, but there are also records of netherworld, mermaids, and elixirs of immortality, which are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Are you sure there are these things in this world?" Li Nan drank wine from Spain and asked suspiciously.

Angelica said very seriously: "My father will never lie to me, since he said that the picture left by Zheng He recorded these things, it must be true." ”

"Okay." Li Nan carefully tasted the taste of the wine, and casually pointed at her and said, "Then don't you have any clues, so you plan to try your luck in the sea area of Daming?" ”

"A witch prophesied about this, and she said that if I came to the East, sooner or later I would meet someone on the sea with the Stars Across the Sea."

"Huh." Li Nan smiled and teased: "Since you believe in that witch so much, did she tell you that she will become my prisoner when she comes to the East?" ”

"Hmph, of course not!" After Angelica said this, her pretty face was a little hot, because she couldn't help but think of another prophecy that the witch had told her.

Li Nan, who returned with a full load, returned to Shuanglong Island with the spoils of war, and now that the climate is hot, he must put the corpses of the more than forty Spanish sailors into the corpse pit as soon as possible, otherwise it will be wasted.

In the days that followed, Li Nan, who had a powerful armed warship, led a mixed force of Spanish sailors and zombies to start sweeping the nearby island.

Zhoushan Archipelago, with many islands and reefs, is the largest archipelago in China, with a sea area of 22,000 square kilometers and a land area of 1,371 square kilometers. Of these, 58 are islands of more than one square kilometre.

In the vicinity of Zhoushan, there are forty-eight small islands like Shuanglong Island, each of which is inhabited by a varying number of pirates, pirates, and their families.

The number of zombies in Li Nan's hands is not too large now, so he only selects those evenly matched islands to attack, and he doesn't touch the big islands with tens of thousands of people stationed in Liuheng, Wonshan, Shrimp and Peach Blossom.

After occupying more than a dozen islands, Li Nan built corpse pits for refining zombies in the places where the yin qi was concentrated on each island, which was like playing a real-time strategy game, with a lot of arsenals, but all the zombies made here were white-haired zombies.

Within a few months, Li Nan had more than 60 Spanish sailors, more than 800 Han pirates, and the number of zombies had reached 1,500, and even because of mass production, there were two black-haired zombies that could resist the attacks of swords and low-level charms.

At the beginning, Zhang Yao, a traitor of the Maoshan faction, although his Taoist cultivation was much higher than Li Nan, he was in the Ming Dynasty, after all, he did not dare to kill people and refine zombies in large quantities, but Li Nan was different.

In every battle, there would be the death of pirates and pirates, and for those corpses that were still intact, the thrifty Li Nan would send them to the corpse pit and refine them in accordance with the methods recorded in the "Xuanyin Corpse Control Dafa".

As the saying goes, very little becomes more, and quantitative change brings qualitative change, so it is normal for two black-haired zombies to appear among thousands of zombies.

In addition to the rapid growth of the troops in his hands, the number of ships belonging to Li Nan has also increased.

The captured Spanish Carrick three-masted galleon became Li Nan's flagship, and its name was changed to the Sea King, in addition to two Fu ships, eight Haicang ships, more than 30 Cangshan ships, and hundreds of eagle ships, chain ships, and alphabet ships.
