Chapter 412 - Looking at the Heaven and the Earth and Fighting for the Unification of the Tao III The First Update
"Ahh Why did it become a ball of stones? There's a pit up there......"
"It doesn't look bright, where is the Moon Palace? Hey, Qinghe Zhenren, the allusion of Chang'e running to the moon is Taoist, right? Why is there nothing on this moon? ”
"There are so many stars in the sky, I am dazzled by the dense crowd, where is this Ziwei Emperor Star?"
Listen to the discussion of the old nun and the monk Yongxin. Chen Dexing stood up with a smile and strode to the side of the huge sphere in the middle of the courtyard - this was a globe on which the seven continents, five oceans and all the large and small islands in his memory of his previous life were drawn according to Chen Dexing's memory. The location may not be all right, but in this time and space, it is undoubtedly a unique treasure.
Originally, he planned to keep it as a top secret and keep it for a while. But now, in order to further spread the idea of scientific superstition and put himself on the supreme demigodship, he has made this priceless treasure public in advance.
Unlike simply sitting and talking, the knowledge on the globe can be verified through nautical exploration.
Even if it is a debater who spits lotus flowers, there is no way to say that the vast and boundless New World and millions of square kilometers of Oceania are gone!
And the discovery of the New World, in the history of Europe, can be said to have given birth to the Age of Discovery and capitalism! Without the gold and silver of the New World to stimulate European industry and commerce, capitalism might not have developed for a hundred years.
And such a great geographical discovery and so many opportunities to make a fortune, if they are all in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Then Tiandaoism will undoubtedly become a great sect that can compete with Confucianism. Moreover, the wealth of the two continents turned out to be out of nowhere. It will definitely stimulate China's industrial, commercial and maritime activities to the extreme in the shortest possible time!
It's the 13th century, and it's not a dull breath that I can't breathe. As far as Chen Dexing knew, scholars and doctors in the Southern Song Dynasty were not far from commercial activities. They don't discriminate against businessmen very much. It can even be said that the Southern Song Dynasty was a society in which Confucian merchants were not separated.
If an era of great exploration and great colonization can appear in China in the 13th century. Then the resulting social changes will be enough to eliminate the zombie-like declining dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty!
"Everyone!" Chen Dexing coughed, attracting everyone's attention, "I've seen it, so now I can talk about it!" Everybody, look at this ball. ”
Chen Dexing stretched out his hand and patted it on the globe, and asked with a smile: "Everyone, do you know what this is?" ”
He asked a question of his own, but when he saw that no one answered, he smiled and said, "This is a model of the earth!" The earth beneath our feet is a huge ball with a circumference of 80,000 miles. It's like the moon in the sky...... It's all a ball suspended in the endless void! ”
These words were silent, but they were like a layer of stone stirring up a thousand waves, and suddenly this courtyard crowded with the three masters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism was lively like a vegetable market.
"How is that possible! How can the ground be a ball? If the ground is spherical, what about the people standing below? ”
"Nonsense, the world has been said for a thousand years, how can it be round? If the earth is round, will it not be square on that day? ”
"King Ming, where did you hear this rhetoric? Isn't that one god too one? ”
Chen Dexing raised one palm slightly, and the voice of discussion suddenly became much quieter. He continued to say something that made his jaw drop.
"The name of the sphere in which we are located is 80,000 miles in circumference. It is divided into seven continents and five oceans, of which the ocean covers 70% of the earth's surface, and to the east of our position, it is the largest ocean on the earth. It's called the Pacific Ocean. The continent where we are located is called Shenzhou (Asia), which is separated from our Shenzhou across the Pacific Ocean and more than 12,000 miles away from the continent. The name is Mingzhou, and Mingzhou is divided into north and south. The land is dozens of times larger than that of the Great Song Dynasty. The land is fertile and the products are abundant. Sparsely populated ......"
“…… To the south of Shenzhou is the Nanfan Islands, with tens of thousands of islands. The climate is hot and wild, but it is rich in spice rice. To the south of Nanfan, there is also a continent, surrounded by oceans, so it is named Oceania. Its land is mostly barren and the population is small, but the land is several times that of the Great Song Dynasty, and the products are also abundant. ”
“…… These two continents are the chosen land of our Chinese people. I should use the method of Xia Jun Yimin (meaning that the upper class is the Chinese people, and the lower class is Zhuyi) to divide the country of Zhuxia, and with the strength of a lifetime, I must also incorporate all of them into the Chinese world. This is the whole world, not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! ”
Chen Dexing told eloquently, talking about the geographical knowledge that everyone in later generations knew. But in this era, the masters of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism sounded as if they were like heavenly books.
"King Ming, what you said is true?"
"King Han, aren't you talking about it?"
"It's more than 10,000 miles away, thousands of miles away, have you ever been there?"
Everyone asked.
"I haven't been there," Chen Dexing replied with a smile, "I haven't sent anyone to go!" ”
Everyone believed that. How long has Chen Dexing been rising? It takes a year or two to go thousands of miles away. Two years ago, Chen Dexing was still the head of the army in the Great Song Dynasty, where did he have the spare strength to send people to go around more than 10,000 miles away? Moreover, at present, there is no ship in the Great Song Dynasty that can sail more than 10,000 miles continuously on the sea, right? How much food and fresh water do you have to prepare?
Wen Tianxiang heard Chen Dexing say this, he really couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the case in front of him suddenly, stood up and said, "Chen Qingzhi, what you said, do you have credentials?" ”
Chen Dexing smiled and said, "Those are all things that a certain person knew in his previous life!" ”
"Ridiculous!" Wen Tianxiang said angrily, "This is pretending to be a god and deceiving the world!" ”
Lu Xiufu, who was also Song Ru, was also angry and shouted: "King Han, Er is the overlord of the dignified side, how can he talk such nonsense and say such unfounded nonsense? Aren't you afraid of laughing at the world? ”
Is it really going to laugh at the world? Jia Rudao sat still, looking at Chen Dexing with great suspicion in his heart. He watched Chen Dexing continue to come up with strange inventions and systems, and then use these inventions and systems to grow bigger step by step. A young boy in his twenties can figure out so many things, it's evil enough to think about it!
"Isn't the lonely king laughing at the world as you wish?" Chen Dexing said vigorously, "It's better to gamble and fight!" ”
"How to gamble?" Lu Xiufu asked rhetorically with a frown.
"The Lone King will send four galleons to thousands of miles to land in Mingzhou and establish a stronghold. If you have the courage, you can go with the ship and see the Mingzhou Continent with your own eyes! ”
"Hmph, if you travel 10,000,000 miles, you will have to go and never return!" Lu Xiufu waved the sleeves of his robe and flatly refused. He didn't believe in the Mingzhou Continent at all, and he didn't believe that Chen Dexing was the reincarnation of King Ming. How would you joke with your own life?
"Go!"
As soon as Lu Xiufu's words fell, someone responded loudly. Lu Xiufu followed the voice and looked, it turned out to be Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang looked at Chen Dexing with blazing eyes, "Isn't it just a journey of thousands of miles?" Traveling thousands of miles is no less than reading 10,000 books! What if a family just leaves? ”
"Good!" Chen Dexing arched his hand at Wen Tianxiang and said with a smile, "Brother Wenshan will definitely go down in history if he goes!" ”
In the future, it will not be Columbus who discovers the New World, but Wen Tianxiang who discovers the New World!
"Who else wants to go to the Mingzhou Continent?" Chen Dexing's eyes swept through the chaotic courtyard, looking for a second "Columbus".
"He's going too!" At this time, the old nun suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the fat-headed and big-eared Yongxin monk and said, "The Yongxin abbot of Shaolin Temple is also going with him!" ”
"Ah......" The monk was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the master who destroyed the sect, the master's face sank, and the monk hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I want to go too...... Isn't it just more than 10,000 miles? I also sent a grand plan back then, and I wanted to go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures! ”
Chen Dexing glanced at the chubby monk and said in a deep voice: "If Monk Yongxin wants to go to Tianzhu, then go...... Go to Mingzhou first, then go around the Atlantic Ocean from Nanmingzhou, and then enter the Tianzhu Ocean from southern Africa, and then you can go to Tianzhu. However, if the Zhu Dharma has been extinguished today, it is not possible for the monk to go to Tianzhu to learn the scriptures. ”
Monk Yongxin folded his hands and said, "Then monk, I will go to Tianzhu to promote Buddhism!" ”
Chen Dexing nodded, he didn't expect that this chubby big monk who secretly ate meat was quite ambitious. He looked at Pa Sipa again and said with a smile: "King Sakya, didn't you think about going to Tianzhu to spread the Dharma?" ”
Ba Si Pa respectfully folded his hands and said with a smile: "The poor monk's mana is limited, and he can only reduce Wu Sizang, and Tianzhu is beyond the reach of the poor monk." ”
"Well, then...... Shadow Girl. Chen Dexing called out to Mo Ying Niang, the Heavenly Daoist Sect's global expedition plan has always been in charge of her secret. She is in charge of placing orders for large ocean-going sailing vessels, organizing and training expeditions, and so on.
"The minister is here." Mo Yingniang strode forward and stood beside Chen Dexing.
Chen Dexing pointed to Wen Tianxiang and Monk Yongxin, "These two and their servants will also participate in the voyage...... How prepared is the fleet? When can I go? ”
"Four big ships have already been purchased and are being refitted. In the summer, you can go to Japan, make up for a year near Kamakura, and then sail all the way to the east. If you are a qiē shun lì, you can go to Mingzhou on the 45th, and you can come back this winter and next spring. ”
Chen Dexing said with a smile: "Okay, it can be proved in one year...... It's much better than sitting and talking. He looked at Jia Rudao and said, "Pingzhang Gong, how about making the exploration of Mingzhou public?" ”
It's a big gamble! If Mingzhou (America) really existed, Chen Dexing's godhead would have been erected - a piece of evidence that was at least twenty times larger than that of the Great Song Dynasty could not be denied by anyone!
As soon as the Godhead was established, there were huge benefits of the New World, and this Chinese Taoist system naturally belonged to Chen Dexing. (To be continued......)
