The meeting was held in the chamber of the Qin Palace, and the number of participants in the meeting was not large, except for Jiang Chuan, it was Liu Ji, Su Qin, Hu Zongxian, Di Qing, Bai Shan, Shanjia, Bai Jinxiu, Li Yongnian, and Mu Zuo.

As for Li Yongnian and Mu Zuo, they can only be regarded as attendees. Although they have no right to speak, they also represent a special honor, indicating that Jiang Chuan recognizes them.

So although the two of them knew that they were soft-spoken and only listened, they were still a little excited in their hearts, because after all, this showed that Jiang Chuan did not intend to treat the two of them as puppets.

Without going into too much detail, Jiang Chuan made the opening remarks in a few simple but exciting sentences:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people who can sit here today are the people I can trust, and the people who can continue to fight the world with me in the future.

Many people may think that King Qin is the end of my Jiangchuan, so they underestimate my Jiangchuan and your eyes. The world is so big that you can't imagine it, and it's countless times bigger than what you have seen and heard. Are Manchu Tatars strong? Probably many people will say strong.

Perhaps, but for me this is just the first hill to conquer, and there are countless higher and more steep mountains to conquer in the future. Some people may think that I am referring to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who have become rogues of the climate, but in my eyes, these two people are actually at most as big as Manchu Tartars. ”

Jiang Chuan's voice was not big, nor too excited, but it was this calm tone that made people feel a strong confidence, and his words made everyone present feel that there was a breath surging in their hearts.

Stronger than dominating Liaodong for decades, so that the Ming court was helpless Manchu Qing, attacking the city as if into a no-man's land, now the soldiers are directly pointing at the capital Li Zicheng Dashun army, as well as all the way to burn and loot the entire territory of Shuzhou Zhang Xianzhong Daxi Army, this is like the largest and strongest three forces today, everyone heard the color change, it turned out to be just a small mountain bag in the mouth of the young King of Qin!

But no one questioned Jiang Chuan's words, because he had proved them with practical actions. Because the first hill bag has been destroyed by him in less than a year.

From this point of view, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who started as a rogue, are also estimated to be about the same end.

Therefore, what His Royal Highness King Qin said was actually extremely confident.

It's just that if such a powerful three forces are all small dirt bags, then what kind of enemy can be regarded as a towering mountain?

All the people are thinking about it.

Jiang Chuan looked at everyone's eyes, smiled slightly, got up and left his tiger skin chair, walked to the huge Ming map behind him, picked up a baton next to him and drew a big circle on the map and said: "Everyone, do you think that there is only the land of Daming in the world?" ”

None of the people below spoke, which means that everyone has acquiesced.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, continued to use his baton to extend westward towards the vast ocean on the left side of Daming on the map, then stopped and nodded a few times and asked, "Everyone, does anyone know where the vast ocean crossed from Daming?"

Are there any other continents here?

Are there any other countries on this continent?

If there is a country, is there a country with a vast territory and a large population like the Ming Dynasty?

Are these countries strong and strong?

Are their weapons, drills, soldiers' quality, command system, science and technology, politics, and culture advanced and brilliant?

If they were stronger than the Ming Dynasty, would they have the ambition to invade the Ming Dynasty?

Are there any island nations in this vast ocean?

……”

Everyone was speechless, no one knew the answers to these questions, after all, no one had taken a step forward.

They looked at Jiang Chuan with anticipation in their eyes, hoping that Jiang Chuan would give them an answer.

Jiang Chuan did not answer them, but crossed the baton over the vast ocean on the east side of the Ming Dynasty and asked the same question.

There is still no one who can answer, after all, experience limits everyone's horizons.

Everyone here is not an ordinary person, on the contrary, several of them are immortal sages in the history of Chinese civilization.

It's just that because of the limitations of the times, their understanding of the world is far inferior to that of Jiang Chuan, a modern soul.

Although this is a plausible world, Egawa still firmly believes that this world is as big as the earth in the previous life, or even bigger and much bigger.

In addition to the continent in this world, there will still be other continents. He firmly believes that there will still be civilizations comparable to or even stronger than the Ming Dynasty on those continents.

If you have to have proof, then the foreign girl Mo Dai he rescued from Wanchun Tower is a good evidence.

Although Mo Dai didn't tell Jiang Chuan too much about her country, Jiang Chuan still got a lot of information from some details.

According to his inference, the most powerful empire on the continent from which Mo Dai came was the English Empire. This empire is as powerful as the British Empire, which colonized the world in previous lifetimes, and even surpassed.

If nothing else, in the 21st century, the Queen of England is still the nominal head of state in dozens of countries around the world.

In the year before the crossing of the river, a popular sports movie of the Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan included a plot of the Commonwealth holding a sports meeting. There are more than 70 countries that have participated in the Games alone.

What does this mean? It shows that these more than 70 countries have historically had the British Empire as their suzerain.

According to Mo Dai, the English Empire in this world still has the habit of looking around to open up colonies, so their vision and understanding of this world are far from being comparable to those of the people in the land of Daming.

According to Mo Dai, the English Empire had armed conflicts with several powerful nations on several other continents in the process of searching for colonies.

In those so-called armed conflicts, the number of people on both sides is between tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and the main weapons on the battlefield are muskets and artillery.

This is simply a war of no small scale.

And it is said that the muskets of some countries have been rear-loaded, and the range is very long, and the shooting accuracy is also very high, which makes Jiang Chuan can't help but think of the rear-loading rifled gun.

This is obviously the scientific and technological level of the other party, at least the military and hydraulic engineering has reached a new height.

Others have already used rear-loading rifled guns, and the most advanced musket in the land of Daming is still a front-loading flintlock pistol, which is not a big difference.

Once the two sides meet, in the case of little difference in numbers, it is definitely their own side that suffers heavy casualties.

And muskets all appeared breech-loading rifled guns, so what about artillery? Presumably it's pretty much the same.

So, Jiang Chuan now has a strong sense of urgency. If the advanced nature of weapons cannot be maintained, then no matter how brave the army is, it will deliver food to others.
