On this day, Han Yanxuan pulled Mao Geng to play Go, and played several games in a row, and the two won and lost each other.

Han Yanxuan is a child of a family, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not weak, and today's saint Zhao Yan loves Go, and there are several chess edicts in the palace, and the chess edicts are all national-level chess players, among which Zhao E is a top Go master, Zhao Yan praised Zhao E's chess talent very much, and also gave Zhao E the false title of a martial arts doctor, but when Zhao E asked Zhao Yan for a real job, Zhao Yan's fluttering sentence "You may want to make a decree, I am afraid that the outer court will not let go of the ear" politely rejected Zhao E's "running official and asking for officials" this time. Han Yanxuan has also been instructed by Zhao E several times, so his chess skills are good.

However, Mao Geng watched a lot of chess online, and he also had the level of amateur three and four dan in online chess, which was slightly stronger than the ordinary three duan, so he could sometimes mix into the four-dan ranks, but when he entered the fourth duan, it was difficult to stand, and he would soon be beaten back to the third duan.

Han Yansheng is deep in chess, Mao Gengsheng is strange in moves, accurate in calculating the road, of course, this is relative, but the two are really chess opponents, this kind of strength is comparable and sometimes has a wonderful game, it is called ornamental, Jin Ding and several official eunuchs and children watched with affection, and they also watched with taste.

After a few games of chess, Han Yanxuan was already sweating on the top of his head, playing Go is a very brain-consuming thing, and the more later, Han Yanzhou's chess power will be discounted, at this time Han Yanxuan also won one more game, so Han Yanxuan had the idea of accepting it when he saw it, and Mao Geng didn't care too much about the outcome of the game, so that Han Yanxuan's small victory was what Mao Sogeng was happy to see.

Han Yanxuan sighed and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen any growth in chess over the years, but my energy is not as good as it was back then, there is a way to be afraid of being weak and strong, and Brother Mao's chess strength is still growing, I'm afraid that in two years, I won't be your opponent."

Mao Geng smiled:

"Originally, Lord Han's chess strength was much stronger than Xiao Ke's, but Xiao Ke just grabbed Lord Han's hand and was lucky to win two games. Xiao Ke's skills in chess are limited, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to grow in the future. ”

Eight points are true, and two points are compliments, but Han Yanxuan was happy to hear it, and by the way, a piece of gossip was exposed:

"You have heard, the official family these days also feel that playing chess is too energy-consuming, hindering the dragon body, since a palace has been converted into a badminton court, the official family is now playing badminton, it seems that the official family's complexion looks much better than in the past. It seems that I will have to play more badminton in the future. ”

Mao Gengming badminton, badminton is really a sport suitable for all ages, and he can't stand the vigorous advocacy of "New Newspaper", and Zhao Yan is also moved by badminton. This sport does not require much investment, the idle palace has been slightly renovated, and it has become a place for Zhao Yan to play badminton, playing badminton every day, the amount of exercise can be large or small, Zhao Yan is a lot more energetic when he sees it. Therefore, Zhao Yan's addiction to playing badminton is not small, and the eunuchs in the palace have also begun to become popular with this sport, which is completely understandable, and everyone in the eunuchs wants to be selected as Zhao Yan's sparring partner.

Among the five eunuchs present, only Fang Dengyue had played badminton, and at this moment he boasted about how interesting it was to play badminton, which made the other three except Jiang Zhiang envious and jealous. So they coaxed and asked to build a badminton hall in Taiwan, so that a few of their buddies could play at any time.

Jin Ding has no good impression of these gentlemen, and besides, to fight Taiwan, building barracks is the right thing, even if you want to build a badminton hall, I'm afraid it will be at least a year and a half later, these guys are usually stubborn, and they don't have to be like them. But Jin Ding occasionally heard that Mao Geng promised to teach Jiang Zhiang to build iron boats, as a martial arts warrior Jin Ding has an innate hobby for weapons, Jin Ding thinks that iron boats will be the most powerful new weapons on the water, so he asked Mao Geng twice and three times about iron boats, but Mao Geng was vague about iron boats, which made Jin Ding's heart itch, and he mentioned this matter again at this moment:

"Mr. Mao's badminton is good, but I am looking forward to Mr. Mao building a powerful iron boat, why don't Mr. Mao tell us about the iron boat?"

Fang Dengyue also echoed:

"Exactly."

Mao Geng said in his heart, it's not that I don't want to talk about the iron ship in detail, it's really difficult to explain the iron ship clearly at once, because the iron ship is a combat platform, not a simple warship, which involves power and thermal weapons, and it will reveal the heavenly secret. Besides, it is not the time to build iron ships, which needs to be backed by steel production.

Mao Geng hesitated for a while, and suddenly thought that instead of letting them be so entangled, it was better to take this opportunity to instill a little new concept to the people present, the Great Song Dynasty was still very indifferent to the concept of sea power at this time, the iron ship is hardware, but the software is also very important. In any case, there should definitely be a group of people in the Great Song Dynasty who understand the importance of sea power.

Mao Geng pondered for a while, and felt that he might as well tell them the story of Zheng He's seven trips to the West in the Ming Dynasty, and of course the story would have to be changed.

So the story of Zheng He's seven trips to the West, his place of birth was moved to Europe by Mao Geng, the characters were also changed, and the time was advanced.

In this story newly compiled by Mao Geng, the uncle of a king in Europe rebelled, defeated the royal division in one fell swoop, occupied the capital, and the palace then caught fire, but the king's body could not be found anyway, and the usurper suspected that the original king was still alive, but he didn't know where he was hiding.

The former king was not found for a day, and the usurping king could not sleep for a day, and the usurper king made a secret arrangement and ordered that the former king must be found. However, he was nowhere to be found in the country, so he suspected that the former king might have crossed the sea and left for another place. Even though the former king had fled overseas, the usurping king was still weak-hearted, and he said that he still couldn't sleep. Anyway, the former king is a threat if he is alive, and he wants to see people and corpses when he dies. Thus, at the behest of the usurping king, a new round of tracking operations began. Of course, this operation could only be carried out in secret, so some people figured out the intention and devised a set of hidden plans, which was to hunt down the former king in the name of doing business in the sea.

Later, the usurper king assembled a large fleet and an ocean-going merchant fleet, and the usurper king believed that anyone who wanted to harbor the former king should be wary of this large fleet escorted by the fleet. But such a huge fleet, the goods that can be transported are also amazing, since it is an ocean-going business, there must be at least a commercial drama, normal commerce is also an integral part of the action, although this is a disguise, but the disguise must also be embedded in the substantive commerce as a module. As a result, the first voyage did not find the former king, but the money was made a lot, and the same was true for the second time. The third time was even more experienced, and the ocean trade set a new record for making money, but unfortunately, the main purpose was not achieved, because the former king was still nowhere to be found.

Seven such ocean-going operations were carried out, and the ocean-going fleet visited one country after another, nominally for commerce and trade, but in reality for the purpose of hunting down the former king. In this way, taking advantage of the opportunity of commerce and trade, the usurping king's subordinates searched one country after another, and had to go to the side of the Great Song Dynasty to find it, but in the end there was still no trace of the current king.

As the saying goes, if you have the intention to plant flowers but not to bloom, and you have no intention to plant willows and willows, these seven ocean operations, although they did not eliminate hidden dangers for the usurping king, brought unexpected huge wealth to this kingdom. After the usurping king had this huge wealth, he went on a northern expedition to the south, and he actually achieved immortal achievements, and the people were rich, and the national strength rose to a new height.

Mao Geng's story, readers will know at a glance that it is based on the story of Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Di. Zhu Di's rebellion was successful, but Emperor Jianwen did not see anyone alive or dead, Zhu Di was unable to sleep and eat for this, and Zhu Di's battle was in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and Emperor Jianwen was still quite taboo. After Zhu Di won the world, he searched through the corners of the Ming Dynasty and did not find Emperor Jianwen, so he suspected that Emperor Jianwen had gone overseas, so Zhu Di formed a fleet and asked the eunuch Zheng He to lead a huge fleet to the West Ocean and secretly hunt down Emperor Jianwen. Why did you send Zheng He? That, of course, is because Zheng He is a eunuch and the best person to keep Zhu Di's secrets. But as the reader knows, Emperor Jianwen was not found in the end, but the money was full of money. Zhu Di relied on the huge wealth earned by sea trade to conquer Mobei five times, and basically crippled the remnants of Mongolia; He also made an expedition to Annam and placed Annan under the rule of the Ming Dynasty; He also dredged the Grand Canal, built the Forbidden City in Beijing, and finally built an ancient canon "Yongle Canon". There is a saying that people are not rich without windfalls, and horses are not fertile without night grass, Zhu Di's original intention was to send Zheng He to the West to hunt down Emperor Jianwen, but unexpectedly, he made a windfall. It can be said that the Yongle Dynasty was able to have a prosperous atmosphere, and Zheng He, a state-owned ocean-going trading company, made great contributions.

In order to enlighten the sea power consciousness of Han Yanxuan and others, Mao Geng had to change the story of seven voyages to the West and adapt it into a story of being born in Europe. In other words, Mao Geng also got the inspiration of the later "Night Banquet", since "Night Banquet" can adapt Shakespeare's "Hamlet" into a Chinese version of the royal feud, Mao Geng's adaptation of the story of the Ming Dynasty into Western gossip is not a pioneering achievement.

Mao Geng's story has all the characteristics of later generations of Shuangwen, involving conspiracy, rebellion, war, earth-shattering wealth, etc., although Mao Geng's statement is far from being colorful, but it still makes the people present addicted. The people present also heard that sea trade can get rich, and there are many tyrants in Quanzhou who get rich because of sea trade, but it is unheard of that sea trade can make a country rich and even dominate for a while.

Han Yanxuan listened to Mao Geng's story, and his heart was greatly touched, it turned out that in addition to getting rich, sea trade can also strengthen the country, will it be the same in the Great Song Dynasty? Could it be that the scale of the sea trade is large enough to a certain extent, and the wealth is rolling in, can the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty successfully restore the Central Plains?

Han Yanxuan was thinking about the matter of a maritime trade power, and he was a little into a state. Others were talking and talking, saying everything.

At this time, Mao Geng was thinking about a question - if there was no Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di would never have fished all over the world, wouldn't there be Zheng He's seven voyages to the West at all! If Zheng He hadn't gone to the West seven times, would there have been no Yongle prosperity at all!

In this way, Emperor Jianwen can be called one of the founders of the Yongle Prosperous Era, and his uncle Zhu Di is also the founder of the Yongle Prosperous Age, and both are indispensable. But if one of the two is missing, I am afraid that there will no longer be a prosperous era of Yongle.

Mao Geng thought about it for a while, but he only felt that the sentence was right, history is often more bizarre than fiction! Zheng He's seven voyages to the West can be called a bizarre history. And it turned out that Emperor Jianwen made great contributions to the prosperity of Yongle, and it was even more bizarre to the outrageous Cheng dù, but this turned out to be the truth!
