At the end of June of the 35th year of Wanli, the officials in Zhangzhou City sat together, including Luo Liangxin, Tao Gongsheng, Li Ying, Ji Xuan, and Wang Shiren, who were the governor of Zhangzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone was at a loss for what to do in the face of a national letter brought by a messenger from the Far West.

“…… The universe is vast, not the sole power of one lord, the universe is wide, and all states are divided into defenses. The one who covers the world is the world of the world, not the world of one person.

The so-called Chinese are one of the nine in the world. The Chinese name is Chixian Shenzhou. Chixian Shenzhou has its own Kyushu, and the order of Yu is Kyushu, and it must not be the number of states. Outside China, such as Chixian Shenzhou, the nine, is the so-called Kyushu. Therefore, there is a sea ring, and the people and beasts cannot communicate with each other, such as those in a district, are a state. In this way, there is a big Ying Sea outside it, and the heaven and the earth are in the air.

The Chinese are the masters of China. The east gradually quicksand and the west are surrounded by the Bohai Sea, and Liquan and Zhicao coexist; It is adjacent to Wuling in the south and Heishui in the north, and Ruifeng is auspicious. The etiquette is great, and Annam Siam is thousands of miles away; The beauty of the uniform, the Western Regions Huyi thousands of miles to the court. Wang Ze Guangfu, a generation in Tetra Pak; The style of writing is spread far away, and Fan Quartet is in the poetry, books, rituals and music.

The affairs of Shenzhou, China's self-management, the prestige of Lile, and the world's unity. In the past, the Japanese invaders slaughtered Busan, restored Korea, and returned the king to guard the temple; The ghost Yang chieftain snatched his father and abandoned his wife, killed his people without permission, and the southern officials drove the troops into the binding, and the country of thousands of miles was ruined, and the bow was lush grass.

There are articles by Confucius and Meng Daodao, and on the art of war of Wu Yousun and Wu Taoluo. This is a great country.

Our country lives in the west, more than 30,000 miles away from the Ryukyus, 36 counties and 1,000 cities, 36,740,000 people, more than 1 million miles in vertical and horizontal circles, and is also the lord of a state. It is not comparable to the small states of Helan and Franco.

In the rebellion of the three prisons in the past, the wind and rain in the surrounding room were shaky, and only the sound was loud. At that time, the people were not convinced, Yin Shang was stupid, the sky was undecided, and there was no flawless sleep.

Cheng Wang was young, Zhou Gong boarded the car and risked the arrow, the west expedition to manage Cai, and subdued Wu Geng, but set up eight divisions. He also sent a relative surnamed Ji and called the Northern Division. With thousands of cars, 10,000 people, and the remnants of Wu Geng, they went deep into the north of prudence, and went to the barren land of the extreme north, with extreme day and night, and there was no distinction between yin and yang.

At that time, Yin was in chaos, the coast was firmly defended, the camp boat building intended to go west, and thousands of sails raced across the river to compete for the current, and crossed the sea into the state of the west. The Northern Division also crossed the sea and suppressed.

Suddenly there was a heavy fog, which lasted for thousands of years, and the boats were lost. The food has been exhausted, the clothes have been crippled, the hair drinks blood, slash and burn, and the life has been gathered for thousands of years, and the original intention has not changed.

Mulberry field in the sea, thousands of years have fallen, only the gift of the right hand does not dare to forget. After a thousand years, if the conquest is carried out again, Shenzhou will not be able to return to the long way, but the country will be established as Xia, and the feudal system will be divided into feudal systems to defend the state land.

For more than a thousand years, Yin Yi crossed to the south, crossed the sea to South Fusang Prefecture, forgot the rituals, and did not change his heart of his homeland. Later, when the Buddha went to Fusang Prefecture in the south, the remnants thought that they were old people, and asked Yin Di if he was safe. The people of Franc Ji did not know the old things of Yin Shang, so they took the name of India in South Fusang Prefecture, which is ridiculous, sad and lamentable.

This time, I went to Siam to know the story of China. Thousands of miles apart, foggy for thousands of years, I don't know the spring and autumn, let alone the Qin and Han dynasties.

After reading history books in Siam City, he learned that after Yashan, Shenzhou Lu sank. The scorching yellow soil actually eats fishy flesh; Mobei Huyi, stealing China. As a result, Yi Lun is polluted, and the program is often out of order. Fortunately, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty of Shenzhou, handsomely raised troops, collected the heroes of the sea, and restored the territory of the previous generation, that is, the emperor of Shenzhou.

In the matter of Shenzhou, there is the dictatorship of the Chinese emperor, and we live in the state of Daxi, but we seek to send envoys for trade and exchange, in order to seek the learning and education of Confucius and Mencius......

…… In the face of this extremely bold national letter, everyone did not dare to make any decisions. A few years ago, the Dalun Mountain tragedy had just ended, and it was the time when officials in Fujian and other places were most nervous about foreign exchanges, but such a national letter was handed over.

No one dared to think that this was fake, and no one dared to think that it was true, and the people who delivered the credentials were waiting outside, as well as a few maritime merchants from Fujian.

If you only look at the front, it is a big rebellion, and you dare to say that Shenzhou is only one of the great Kyushu. When they saw the content behind, they had a feeling that it seemed to be true, could it be that there was really a so-called "Northern Division" that crossed the sea after the rebellion of the Three Prisons?

What is most difficult for these officials to accept is a seemingly equal relationship that is faintly revealed in it. Obviously, this letter of state says that the Chinese emperor is the emperor of Chixian Shenzhou, and there are eight other states besides Chixian Shenzhou, but most of them do not have emperors.

In other words, the concept of the world has become bigger, and this co-owner of the world has become the co-owner of Chixian Shenzhou. And the so-called Daxi Prefecture, although there is no emperor, but the population is tens of millions, thirty-six counties, not called the emperor but called the governor of a state, and it is actually equal to the emperor of Shenzhou.

But apart from this extremely rude statement, the rest of the place was decent, and the emperor's name was also written with a gold pen.

They can't make a decision on trade matters, but they can't directly discard them according to the ancestral system, after all, they handed over the credentials in accordance with the procedure, and the legitimacy of this procedure still has to go.

After Tao Gongsheng saw it, he pondered for a long time.

"In your opinion, is this true or false?"

Several people shook their heads, saying that this kind of thing is wrong to say anything, it is better not to say it. However, the letter of state also said that it was delivered to the rest of the port prefectures, and if there was indeed a problem, it would be a crime not to report it.

In addition to the national letter, there is also a sub-list of "tributes", as well as an article introducing the various situations of the country of Zen and Zen.

And the sub-list of the "tribute" also made the previous national letter somewhat credible.

There are many items in the sub-list, such as muskets, cannons, explosives, wide plain weave, clocks, glass, hand-drawn looms...... But none of this is of interest to officials.

Officials are interested in something in between.

In the long list of tributes, there is also a small section of very special "gifts" that arouse everyone's interest.

"Two pairs of live lions, five pairs of turtle skins, six pairs of horns, six deer skins, six unicorn skins, ten pairs of dangkang teeth, and ten ...... fox skins"

Lions they had heard of, but they had never seen them alive. As for the unicorn, of course they didn't believe that it was a mythical beast, otherwise it would not have been possible to peel off the skin, but a photo called "Black and White Painting" inside showed a huge and tall giraffe.

Unlike rhinos, they have single horns and two horns; Lushu has black and white stripes; When Kang is like a pig, but has long, curved fangs; The raccoon is not a monkey......

If you can think of these explicit purposes, you must be able to distinguish the difference.

This is all the stuff in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", dare to write like this, obviously proves that these tributes are real, otherwise they will be exposed once they come into contact.

If these things exist, then the various wastelands introduced in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" should exist, and maybe there will really be the possibility of the world's great Kyushu.

Although I didn't see the real thing, I didn't dare to lie about this kind of thing. It's just that these legendary mythical beasts were skinned and cramped, and it was really a little incomprehensible.

What was most difficult for them to understand and make decisions about was something in the last booklet about the land of the far west.

It is said that the people of this country are good at observing the stars and are familiar with geography, and they can calculate that there will be a comet passing through in August this year, which is neither a major problem nor a disaster, and it is just an astronomical phenomenon like a solar and lunar eclipse.

Later, it was explained and pointed out that the comet would visit about once every seventy years, and it was inferred that there would be records about the comet in Jiajing for about ten years, Jingtai for ten years, and Hongwu for ten years.

If you continue to turn forward, it may be that there will be a record in the "Astronomical Chronicles" of the Song and Yuan Dynasty every seventy-five years or so. As for the rest, it is just another comet, which is no longer in the ranks......

This content, together with the previous Great Kyushu and the monsters in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", had a great impact on the worldview of the officials present.

There are those who angrily reprimanded the demons and deceived the people to kill the messenger, and those who hurriedly wanted to go through the history of the Song Dynasty to check it, and scolded that this was unashamed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tao Gongsheng finally made a decision.

"I think so, this letter of state was sent to Fuzhou along with the rest of the letters, and it was decided by the governor. The messenger was first imprisoned, not tortured or tortured, but placed under house arrest. If what these people say is true, August will come soon, and if a comet does comet, I am afraid that what is said is true. If not, let it be a lie......"

As an official in Zhangzhou, I have seen a lot of red-haired, blue-eyed, and paint-like people, and I have also seen huge ships with guns and guns, so it is easier to believe in new things than elsewhere.

Moreover, except for that disrespectful place in the national book, there are many sycophants, and there is no word of threat of force, at least there is no major crime of killing, at most, it is to reprimand the emperor as the co-master of the world, which is not a big problem.

If it is true, if the comet is hyped elsewhere at that time, I am afraid that it will be used by people with intentions. In the past few years, it has not been stable here, and if there is a rebellion today and a smash tomorrow, if there is really a mess because of this matter, it will be difficult to investigate it in the future if there is another crime of knowing and not reporting.

In any case, the national letter also recognized the emperor as the lord of Shenzhou, and also recognized the tributary system within the scope of Chixian Shenzhou, and also gave great praise to the righteousness of the country, expressing his agreement with Emperor Taizu's actions, so it would not cause other effects. Even if it is true in Daxi Prefecture, even if these people are three generations of remnants, they lack the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, but they can preach and educate.

Moreover, if you are far away, tens of thousands of miles away, you don't have to worry about causing any big trouble like a widow. And unlike those Hongyi who are often deterred by force, these people really seem to have a little bit of the meaning of three generations of ancestors, and they can be regarded as returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, and if they don't agree, they don't agree with the etiquette.

Everyone didn't want to take responsibility, so they also agreed with Tao Gongsheng's statement.

First, a cadre of envoys was given preferential treatment and placed under house arrest, and Xingye asked someone to send these documents to Fuzhou, so that Governor Xu Xueju could decide for himself.
