PS: On May 13th, the old mother has a big birthday, so I can only change it and ask for forgiveness.

At the same time that King Xuan of Qi founded the Jixia Academy, which brought together scholars from all walks of life, Plato also established an academy in Athens in the Mediterranean, where Aristotle studied. So, it was still a land ruled by wisdom, and now, they were only temporarily covered by the clouds of religion. It is up to us to upset the balance and show the people there the great things that come from the East. This is also a boost for your country and nation, although they will endure some pain for a short time. However, in the long run, this will do more good than harm. ”

Yun Zheng stood on the Yueyang Tower and explained to Hypatia beside him why the envoys of the Tang Dynasty must have strong force: "The Tang people never hand over their fate to others to guard, we have the ability to protect our own destiny, and we want a warrior of the Tang Dynasty to put down his sword, unless his enemies are all dead." ”

Hypatia looked at the battleships fighting on the lake, and said with difficulty: "Do you have to open the hearts of fools with strong ships and cannons?" ”

Yun Ye sat down and ate a delicious water chestnut, and he didn't know how those people had stored this thing until now. Although it seemed strange to eat this thing in the winter, the people around him did not feel the slightest surprise, and the shopkeeper of the Yun family naturally knew what his head liked to eat.

"I'm a general, the way I can use is naturally even a military means, take good care of yourself, if those idiots in Egypt still get you to fight the lions, I believe that I am very likely to go to Egypt in person, revenge for you, the green finch will be crazy at that time, you know, the green finch is difficult for me to refuse."

"It's too far there. Your army will not reach Egypt. "Hypatia has seen too many fallen kings in the Tang Dynasty, so now she is very glad that her country is on the other side of the earth.

"Not necessarily, choose a partial division, raid along the coast, move forward bravely, and advance to your national capital with lightning speed to capture the king and kill the general. It's just that your country no longer has kings, they are all under the rule of the Romans, and they may have to accept the rule of the big cannibals in the future, since they are used to submission, it is nothing to give in again under the strong force of the Tang Dynasty, don't you say? ”

Hypatia turned around and left, although she now considered herself the daughter-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, what still could not be erased was her deep attachment to that land.

After watching Hypatia leave, Yun Ye's originally smiling face immediately became angular. Without him, the smile disappeared and he gritted his teeth.

No one will know what Yun Ye is thinking at this moment, maybe a fleet of inso-called things has floated in his eyes, the Tang people never know about his storage, but Yun Ye knows that he has really been in storage.

A huge fleet of ships unparalleled in the world in the fifteenth century, riding the strong northeast monsoon, left Wuhumen in Fujian Province in front of the great choice given by history. The first to sail to the Pacific Ocean. Until later generations, people were still speculating about the purpose of this fleet's voyage.

This fleet led by Zheng He. In the past 28 years, he has made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, covering Southeast Asia and South Asia, and then crossing the Indian Ocean, reaching as far as the coasts of Arabia and East Africa.

However, there has never been such a large-scale voyage without an economic purpose in human history. It was an almost pure and pure political procession. It was to show favor to overseas nations as an expression of the Chinese emperor's nominal suzerainty over them. What a generous and gentle gentleman's behavior.

Hegel said that the sea invited man to engage in conquest and trade. However, the Chinese invited by the Pacific Ocean are humble gentlemen who are so-called 'righteous friendship and not seeking profit'.

Even if the Chinese come to sea, they still cannot go beyond the limited thinking and action and circle on land. History chose the Chinese. The Chinese, on the other hand, cannot choose history. Only a few decades later, four small galleons, led by the Portuguese da Gama, representing weak capitalism, sailed into the Indian Ocean in search of wealth and markets. By that time, the huge fleet of Zheng He had disappeared from the Pacific and Indian oceans without a trace. The Europeans, on the other hand, embarked on a great expedition to make great geographical discoveries.

This is unforgivable, Yun Ye's hand clenched the arm of the chair, and his muscles were exposed, he would never make such a mistake, never! Now that the crowd on the loess has a new choice, it is up to them to start.

Behind this fleet will be countless merchant ships closely following, no matter what method is used, the role of the fleet is to plunder and discover, in Yun Ye's opinion, opening the trade route is more meaningful than traveling around the world.

If the sword can't open up the way of business, then use gunpowder, in short, this long journey, you must achieve the expectations and goals that you have set a long time ago.

There is no need to worry about the northern route of the eldest grandson Wuji, he knows better than Yun Ye what the interests are, this time, Yun Ye did not set up any obstacles in the supply of weapons in the Northern Fleet, he knows that those soldiers need these weapons, the warriors of the Sun God Kingdom are still very brave, only using cold weapons may greatly delay their progress, and Li Tai now needs rubber trees very much.

In fact, the Northern Fleet has a greater chance of winning this mission, because they don't have to travel around most of the world to reach South America, while Yun Ye's fleet needs to go through the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and finally reach the Atlantic, and then they can run to the other side of South America.

Yun Ye didn't care who the credit for this great discovery belonged to, he only cared if this voyage of the Southern Fleet could see all the Western countries and peoples. Such a discovery is far a hundred times stronger than the discovery of barren land.

Wang Xuance stood behind Yun Ye, and he found that Yun Ye's posture slowly changed from a casual posture to like a javelin, and he understood that this legendary figure of the Tang Dynasty already had a plan in his heart, and humbly bowed down and waited for the order.

"This time I went west, draw a map, the sea chart is the first priority, as for whether you can find the Sun God Kingdom, it doesn't matter, they are there, this time I can't find it next time, I will find it sooner or later, what I need is a report on the situation in the West, what I need is Datang's understanding of the whole world, now we are the strongest, so we have the right to redivide the world, and the right to make rules must be in the hands of Datang."

"If you get in the way?"

"Kill!"

After a brief conversation, Yun Ye ordered to stop this exercise of little significance, the people on the boat were all carefully selected by themselves, Lai Chuanfeng in order to take advantage of this last opportunity to fight for a bright future for his children and grandchildren, at the age of fifty, he still stood at the forefront with his own sword.

"Life and death are uncertain, blessings and disasters are unpredictable, have you really thought about it?" Yun Ye deliberately stopped in front of Lai Chuanfeng when he was reviewing the soldiers, he was the commander of all the warriors in this fleet.

"The lowly position is a useless one, you have given the lowly position countless opportunities, but the lowly position has not been mixed with a real title until now, there is a title, and it is only a lord, and it is impossible to pass it down from generation to generation, so the lowly position intends to use this last opportunity to fight and see if it can be mixed with a viscount." Lai Chuanfeng smiled dryly at Yun Ye and said, after a big blood change of the Lingnan Naval Division, the rough and well-written Lai Chuanfeng could not adapt to those harsh terms, in order not to embarrass Yun Ye, and in order not to drag the Lingnan Naval Division, he resolutely chose to return to Chang'an, because he represented the soldiers of the old-fashioned Lingnan Naval Division, he did not retreat, and Liu Renyuan had no way to reorganize the entire fleet at all.

"Didn't I report you to the knighthood? The little Viscount Xià will still sell me this face, and it will be approved, and this year it will be about the same. According to your merits, there is no problem. Yun Ye has a headache, he always hopes that the old man around him can live happily, Lai Chuanfeng's brutal action without regard for his life is very difficult to do.

"Dashuai, thank you, you don't have to do this, there is no need to bow to anyone for Lai Chuanfeng, the humble position is clear, the subordinate province is at odds with you, there are always villains, but it doesn't matter, if the humble position makes great contributions this time, they will no longer have any excuse to hinder my promotion, and Your Majesty will see my merits."

Yun Ye listened to Lai Chuanfeng's words, and his heart was extremely bitter, when he was dealing with Wang Xiaojie, the eldest grandson Wuji was also dealing with Lai Chuanfeng, which was extremely fair in politics, since the eldest grandson family did not use the power in the dark to deal with Lai Chuanfeng, Yun Ye could only follow this rule and go through the formal channels.

Counting it up, it was Yun Ye who owed Lai Chuanfeng, and it was already a sure thing that he would become the viscount of the empire with his merits, and the documents of the Ministry of War had already been issued, but they were canceled by the Ministry of Men during the review.

"This trip is very dangerous, I don't approve of you going, if you want, it's okay to go to Mingzhou to be a guard, why do you want to despise yourself like this, this is also a kind of torment." Yun Ye persuaded hard, hoping that Lai Chuanfeng would change his mind.

"Dashuai, the lowly duty is about to suffocate to death in Chang'an, what is the difference between going to Mingzhou and being in Chang'an, when I dream back at midnight, I always fantasize that I am still fighting on the battleship, and I can't sleep at home, only when I return to the battleship, lying in the hammock, I can sleep sweetly, this is my life, God wants me to live on the ship, this life is like this. While you can still use the knife, you can fight again, even if you die, it is more comfortable than dying on the bed. ”

Unconsciously, he is getting old, and life is becoming more and more meaningless, Lai Chuanfeng is a samurai, and the samurai's destination should be the battlefield, not the bed, at this point, he is purer than Yang Yueming and Yang Yueli.

The commander of the fleet is Cheng Chuliang, this young man who was personally sent into the Lingnan Navy Division by Yun Ye, and finally grew into an experienced water warrior, this time the Cheng family is considered to have made a bloody capital, looking at the young man who stood on the eagle's beak cliff with a runny nose, Yun Ye really didn't know what to say, sending him was purely Cheng Biting Jin's idea.
