Chapter 229: Oda Nobunaga: I am your gift
Archimedes walked over and kicked Kuroda Nagamasa, shouting, "We are going to do secret research, and you are exiled." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Corning felt that there was no difference between the two journeys. One is to open up land in geography, the other is to open up land in knowledge, and that's it.
However, secret research should not be carried out in Shandong, even if the books in the library have not been polished by reliable local indigenous scholars, they are not suitable for dissemination.
Fortunately, he has a lot of hidden overseas bases, thanks to Boss Huang's early layout here. The great geographical discovery cannot be expressed in terms of completion, but Wenzhen Commercial Bank should seize the yellow time period when it is in progress and increase its layout efforts.
"Kuroda Nagamasa." Kangning called his name coldly and asked, "Do you have any opinion on what I just said?" ”
"Qi Qi regent, the criminal has no opinion." Kuroda Nagamasa quickly got up from the ground and replied respectfully, "I, a samurai, have always been humble and learn from the Central Plains. However, the court of the Ming Dynasty was too arrogant. The regents are so powerful, and they are still modest, I really don't know what they have to be arrogant. ”
"Bold!" Xu Guangqi was obviously very angry at the words of this widow. However, when he got the case, all he got in exchange was a cold snort from the other party.
"I, the Yamato samurai, serve only the truly strong. The regent, that is the strong one. ”
Corning was satisfied: "Good. "Ever since this guy chose to surrender, submission was his only option. Well, the original exile can now also be replaced by an appointment as an excuse. From now on, he will be the vice president of the Micronesia branch of the Western Pacific Region of Wen Zhen Trading Bank.
Corning then informed Kuroda of the appointment, but the son of the famous military advisor did not seem to understand. He looked at Kangning suspiciously, and asked, "Regent, may I ask, what is this Miya, Your Majesty has heard you say it many times." However, please forgive your subordinates for being unruly. Your Majesty, I really don't know where it is. ”
Corning sneered, "Go get the map." ”
Xu Guangqi had seen a world map, and when Matteo Ricci came to China, he brought a world map with him. Just to highlight the status of the Celestial Empire, they made some changes to the map, such as placing China at the center of the world.
Since then, the map used in China has followed this layout, and it has not changed even since the founding of the People's Republic of China. So the topographic map of the world that Xu Guangqi saw from the ninety-six time and space did not surprise him at first.
According to the surveying and mapping technology at that time, the error of the map has improved significantly compared with the previous hundred years. The map of China in the Middle Ages is simply impossible to read, not only can it not be seen at all, but it can even be said that it has no authenticity at all, and it is estimated that it can be taken directly to Tolkien as a map of "The Lord of the Rings".
However, the shape of the map of the 17th century has basically already taken the rudimentary form of the map of later generations. The territory of the Ming Dynasty in China does not seem to be very large. If the people of the Song Dynasty saw it, they would definitely be surprised, but Xu Guangqi, a native of the Ming Dynasty, seemed very calm in front of this fact.
But he soon became uneasy. Because he saw things that he hadn't seen on valuable maps.
"Is this the Australian continent?" Xu Guangqi pointed to the southern continent and asked, "I once heard Shi Ziming say that I heard that the sun there is in the north at noon, not in the south. I also heard that there are a lot of strange animals there, such as kangaroos that can't run and can only jump. ”
Can't run, only jump? Shi Ziming's description is really too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even Corning, who knows the habit of kangaroos, never thought to describe it in such a sentence.
But there's more to Australia than that. Abundant mineral resources are what Corning values most.
"That's right, this is Australia. It will also be the destination of my next stop. If Mr. Xuanhu wants to go, you might as well come with me. ”
"The old man is old, so don't go." Xu Guangqi politely declined, but his gaze continued to stay on the world map.
Kangning just said "um", and then said to Kuroda Nagamasa, "Look here, this is the place you want to manage." ”
He pointed to the central western Pacific region, where Micronesia is located.
Kuroda Nagamasa's eyes widened, carefully observing the small archipelago, and then he said with some loss: "Such a place." ”
"Yaga!" A person behind him suddenly slapped him, and he turned his whole body around in half a circle.
Corning was also a little dissatisfied. He moved his hand to Japan's position and said, "It's much bigger than your feudal country." ”
Kuroda Nagamasa was lying on the ground, his mind was still buzzing, but when he heard Kang Ning say that the area of that land was larger than his own fiefdom, he quickly got up and asked excitedly, "How many stones is that stone high?" ”
"Shi Gao?" Kang Ning frowned, he knew that Shi Gao could reflect the economic output of the fiefdom, but the whole way of backwardness was not acceptable to him. So, he said, "You have to listen." It's not your fiefdom, you go there for the company, for everyone to reclaim the land, collect minerals, and accumulate wealth. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if the output is less than expected, then ......"
Kang Ning's tone suddenly became cold: "Then you will have a seppuku." ”
Kuroda Nagamasa was taken aback, he quickly knelt down honestly, touched the ground with his head, and said in a continuous voice: "I will definitely work hard to reclaim the land." Surely the regent will not be disappointed. ”
Kang Ning said with some reluctance: "Why do you call me regent? Is it because in your heart you still don't want to serve me, but prefer to serve the Emperor, right? ”
Kuroda Nagamasa hurriedly changed his title: "Lord, my subordinates don't dare!" ”
Kang Ning snorted coldly before he said, "You know each other." In that case, as a new retainer, I'll give you a gift. ”
Kuroda Nagamasa raised his head in a panic and looked at Kangning in confusion. His instincts told him that there wasn't much kindness in the gift.
Sure enough, I heard Corning say, "Your gift is behind you." ”
Kuroda Nagamasa suddenly remembered the person who beat him even earlier, and then he looked back in surprise, only to see the guy kicking over and scolding: "What are you looking at? ”
There was a burst of laughter around, only Kuroda Nagamasa became very angry after being beaten twice, he bravely stood up and glared at him angrily, despite Kangning being by his side, however, the result of the staring was that he quickly knelt down more respectfully, and shouted: "Nobunaga! ”
Oda Nobunaga stood in front of him and grinned, "I'm a gift for you." ”
