Chapter 127: If you don't have it, grab it

Although the story of One Piece is very long, Xie Hong can't remember so much, just picked some classic episodes, and then mixed other content to talk nonsense. After telling the story, he gradually led the topic to the current world situation, talking about what Franco Zhengde also knew, Zeng Jian knew, and it didn't make sense that he didn't know.

Listening to the story, Zhengde was full of longing, but when he heard the reality, he was a little angry, and suddenly interjected: "Actually, I also have a large fleet in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Xie Hong was slightly stunned, according to his understanding, the most famous fleet of the Ming Dynasty was the one that Zheng He went to the West, but that was not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a few years away.

As for the future, the history of Xiaobai does not know, in Xie Hong's impression, although the Ming Dynasty later opened the sea ban and formed a considerable scale of maritime trade, but it never built a fleet again, and the Zheng family fleet that recovered Taiwan was only the Zheng family's private fleet, and then it was absorbed by the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, we have a fleet now?" Xie Hong was very curious about Zhengde's words.

When asked by Xie Hong, Zhu Houzhaojun's face was slightly red, and he said: "There are no ships, but the charts of the Sanbao fleet should still be there, I heard my father talk about it, there are not only nautical charts, but also drawings of treasure ships." ”

Xie Hong was surprised, this thing could be kept for so long? He didn't know much about history, and he didn't know anything about this kind of details, so he asked in disbelief: "Those drawings are still there?" ”

Zhu Houzhao expressed indignation at his suspicions, turned his head to the window and said loudly: "Dayong, Qian Ning, I know that you are outside, hurry in, I have something to ask you." ”

Xie Hongyi, is this the legendary listening wall root? Otherwise, what are these two guys doing squatting outside the window?

"Long live the lord, your name is the old slave? Breakfast is ready and waiting for you to eat. "Although Gu Da is fat, his body is very agile, and before Zhengde's words fell, he had already flashed in with a smile on his face, and Qian Ning, the military attachΓ©, could only follow behind and eat ashes.

"Where is there any breakfast?" Zhengde waved his hand impatiently, "Dayong, weren't you in the East Factory?" You should know the nautical charts and treasure ship drawings of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, right? ”

"This ......" Just now Zhengde and Xie Hong were talking, Gu Dayong also heard it, and seeing that Zhengde was in high spirits, he hesitated a little.

Seeing that he hesitated, Zhengde turned his head again and asked Qian Ning: "Qian Ning, don't you Jinyiwei know either?" ”

"I don't know." Qian Ning turned out to be just a thousand households, and this kind of thing was not the direction of Jinyiwei's attention, of course he didn't know.

Seeing that Zhengde's face was uncertain, Gu Dayong hurriedly explained: "Long live Lord, the old slave knows about this, but ......"

"But what? I said it's useful, but you'd be happy. Zhengde was even more impatient.

Not to mention Zhengde, Gu Da used a lot of money, which made Xie Hong very anxious, this is a big deal, Zheng He went to the West that is ironclad evidence that Chinese civilization was once ahead of the world, Xie Hong didn't care much about the treasure ship drawings, he paid more attention to the navigation charts left by the fleet at that time! That's the most important thing to open up the sea route.

It is said that the fleet at that time went all the way to the southern tip of Africa, and the nautical charts were also drawn all the way, think about it, this is a nautical chart across several large seas, even if Xie Hong came from later generations, this kind of thing he is also extremely concerned about.

"Your Majesty, the old slave said don't be angry, the chart has already been burned by Liu Shangshu......" Gu Da said with a bitter face.

"It's burning!" Zhengde and Xie Hong asked in unison: "Why did it burn, why did it burn?" ”

"That was still the first year of Chenghua, when Li Hao, the king of Annan, ......," Gu Dayong explained.

As soon as he said it, Xie Hong also understood, it turned out that Vietnam and Laos were fighting at that time, and the Vietnamese lost, so the great eunuch Wang Zhi thought about making meritorious service, so he suggested that Emperor Xianzong take advantage of the situation to enter, so he asked the military department to hand over the military books and navigation maps of the expedition to Annam during the Yongle period.

Liu Daxia and Wang Zhi were not all the way, and they were also very traditional scholars, thinking that Zheng He's behavior of going to the West was not beneficial, and he wasted the court's money and food in vain, and hated it, so he hid the military map at the same time, and also hid the navigation map. Later, he was forced by Wang Zhi, but he simply burned all the fires.

This person is really a loser, Xie Hong doesn't know who Liu Daxia is, but he is very distressed, such an important thing, even if it is not used for navigation, it is also a good antique, why did he burn it.

"Liu Daxia, this old guy, really doesn't take me seriously, such an important thing, even if he burns it, he has to inform me." Zhengde was also indignant.

Gu Dayong couldn't cry or laugh, the old slave was talking about the first year of Chenghua, don't talk about you at that time, even your father, His Majesty Emperor Xiaozong was not born, and Liu Daxia has to inform you.

After the indignation was over, Zhengde felt very embarrassed, and said to Xie Hong in a curtled manner: "Liu Daxia is an old stubborn, I can't help him, and the things have been burned and can't be recovered, alas, it seems that I just said a big thing." After speaking, he sighed, very regretful.

Hearing this, Xie Hong had a great impression of Zhengde, and most of his understanding of Zhu Houzhao came from the Internet, and the information itself was incomplete. And because the relationship between Zhengde and the scholars was very poor, and the enthroned Jiajing was a very mean emperor, there were very few records about him.

The Ming Dynasty was followed by a period of more than 200 years of decline, and the Manchu Tartars would not say anything good for him.

You must know that when dealing with foreign enemies, Zhengde is a very resolute hawk, and he is not merciful to the Tartars, and even once stabbed an enemy on the battlefield, which can be said to be the only one among the many non-founding emperors in China, and the Tartars will naturally not miss him.

Therefore, in later generations, the image of Zhengde is very vague, and people who like him say that he is a true surname, which can be called a wise man through the ages; I don't like him, and he says that he is a wasted silver and a big faint king. Xie Hong is not a historian, and before he met people, he had no way to judge what kind of person Zhengde was, but he clearly knew that Zhengde liked to play very much.

Based on the perception of this day alone, Xie Hong didn't find anything strange about Zhengde, this is a very normal teenager: fun-loving, curious, energetic, and very smart, judging from the concept of later generations, Zhengde is not abnormal at all, and he is a very likable child.

Through the conversation just now, Xie Hong confirmed this point, Zhengde is indeed a person with a real surname.

Not long after the two knew each other, Zhengde had just boasted, and his words were denied. In this case, ordinary people's faces will be a little unbearable, people in the city may change the topic without a trace, and people with high status are more likely to be angry and angry with others, but Zhengde is very ashamed to admit that he said the wrong thing.

And as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he also admitted frankly that he couldn't help Liu Daxia, and he didn't have the idea that the superior was offended at all, and he didn't shy away from Xie Hong.

Xie Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had found a boss who was easy to get along with. Well, as an excellent worker, when the boss is worried, he should share the boss's worries, so he comforted him: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you don't have those things, as long as you have this heart, things will be easy to do." ”

"Really?" Zhengde's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Xie Hong, you are so powerful, I knew that you would definitely have a way, what is the way?" Tell me quickly. ”

Xie Hong also found a characteristic of Zhengde, in front of people close to him, he would forget to call himself me when he was happy, and often called you, me, and me, probably he didn't have that kind of strict hierarchy in his heart.

"Actually, it's very simple, without the drawings of the treasure ship, we can find craftsmen who know how to build it, and if there are no craftsmen, we can study it from scratch little by little......"

Xie Hong smiled, not to mention that he could understand some principles, only through his own experience for more than a year, Xie Hong could also be sure that the level of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty was quite high. As long as enough attention can be paid to craftsmen and enough resources can be invested, there is no reason why what could be made in the early years of the Ming Dynasty cannot be made now.

What was the situation in the early years of the Ming Dynasty? Ming Taizu had just driven away the Tartars and established a state, and those alien invaders would never build, they would only destroy everywhere, so everything in the Ming Dynasty was started from scratch. Therefore, in the final analysis, it is a question of whether or not the creativity of the craftsmen can be brought into play.

"That'...... What about nautical charts? Through Xie Hong's story, Zhengde also has an idea of navigation, and he knows that nautical charts are even more important than maps. If you don't have a map, you can get lost, and if you don't have a chart, you can get lost, but if you get lost on the ground, you'll lose time, and if you get lost at sea, you'll be blind.

"Nautical charts are even simpler." The corners of Xie Hong's mouth twitched, and he smiled evilly, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" Franco and the Spanish people originally came to Daming from a long way away, and their hometown was much farther than the place where the eunuchs of the Three Treasures had been, and since they could sail over, they must have a more complete chart. ”

Zhengde suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "That's right, we can buy ...... from them." Well, if they don't sell it......"

"We'll rob him." Xie Hong nodded vigorously, Zhu Houzhao This kid is really too appetizing for his brother, and he has too much tacit understanding. He didn't feel the slightest guilt in his heart, did the foreign devils in the future steal things from Huaxia? What's the point of grabbing a chart? Besides, this is just the beginning.

"Yes, just grab it, and by the way, you can catch a few navigators, so that our fleet can also go to Europe, haha." The more they talked, the more they surrendered, and Zhengde happily helped Xie Hong pick up the missing and fill in the gaps.

Looking at these two heartless and shameless people, Gu Dayong and Qian Ning were speechless. Isn't this Xie Hong a craftsman? How can you talk about such things as robbery, this person's way of thinking is so weird, no wonder he is so close to the Lord of Long Life. Engage in a long time, long live the fire and have to come to Xuanfu, and the feelings are premonitions.

The more the two talked, the more they looked at each other, the more they looked at each other, Zhu Houzhao had already begun to ask Xie Hong what specialties Europe had, and Xie Hong also began to count with his fingers, in fact, he didn't know what Europe had, so he simply told the Americas, there are many specialties there. There is a saying that there are three treasures in the Americas: golden corn coffee beans...... "cough cough ......" Gu Dayong really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly interrupted Xie Hong's speech, there was nothing in the eight characters, these two people actually said so happy.

"Long live Lord, you better have breakfast first, shipbuilding or something is not an overnight thing."

"Then let's eat first." Listening to him, Zhengde also felt hungry, and Xie Hong was even more so, he was busy all night, and this physical exertion was a lot.

"Dang!" When he was about to go out, the bell of Qingyuan Tower rang, and seeing that Zhengde was stunned, Xie Hong introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the bell of Qingyuan Tower, and it is ...... at the hour" He only said half of his words, and then stopped in astonishment.

"Dang!" The first sound was still ringing, followed by another bell, followed by another rapid drum beat.

Bells and drums in unison! Xie Hong has been in Xuanfu for four months, and this is the first time he has heard it, although it is only the first time he has heard it, but he knows in his heart that there is only one situation when the bells and drums of Xuanfu will ring at the same time, and in such a hurried way.

That's ...... Tartars are in the Kou!
