It took three and a half years and a journey of more than 100,000 miles!

Everyone here is amazed, not to mention anything else, these people can really go around the world, the journey is so far, it is absolutely incredible, anyone has to admire the courage and perseverance of this Magellan, they can catch up with Tang Xuanzang who learned from the West, after all, Tang Xuanzang is just from the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, all of them are land, at most they are mountains, plateaus, forests, deserts, Magellan is sailing on the sea, sometimes, it is very possible to not see people for several months, How did they survive such days?

Think about Wu Xing, with a fleet of thirty people, and thousands of people on an ocean expedition, and finally came back disgraced, if it wasn't for Shi Lang's rescue halfway, I'm afraid they would all die in the Americas......

Qin Mufeng clicked his mouth and grinned: "More than 100,000 miles away, wipe it, in the past ten years, I have fought in the south and the north, and the farthest has crossed the Ural Mountains, and I don't know if the journey is more than 100,000 miles......"

"More than 120,000 miles, to be exact......"

"When I first saw the account, I was also in awe of this person, without the courage and perseverance beyond ordinary people, it would be absolutely impossible to accomplish such a feat, and I also dream that one day, I can also lead a fleet and be able to accomplish this feat......

"Yes!"

Qin Mufeng said with a smile: "When we defeat the fleet of the Western Ocean, our brothers will join forces to break into the Western Ocean, take 100,000 heroes and 1,000 warships, go to the Western Ocean, and then fight from the Western Ocean to the Americas, and destroy all these small countries, the whole world, we will conquer him, I don't believe it, the emperor will not give our brothers the title of king!" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, did you bring the charts?"

Zhu Jie shouted in a deep voice.

Cha Shu hurriedly replied: "Brought, brought!" Well, the nautical charts are a bit big, and I am afraid that I can't fit the ...... on the table."

As soon as Cha Shu's words fell, Qin Mufeng took action, tore down the middle hall hanging in the hall, and pushed the table again!

"Damn bastard!"

Xu Yifan's eyes erupted fire, and he roared angrily: "Qin Mufeng, that is Wentong's "Wind Bamboo Map", which has the inscription of Su Dongpo and Mi Fu, the god of the sea, is priceless, you just tore it up for Lao Tzu on a dog day......"

Xu Yifan's heart was dripping blood, a picture of wind and bamboo, worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was given by the queen's mother, and was torn apart by Qin Mufeng, a bastard who didn't understand the amorous feelings......

"Hehe, what is it, it is more valuable, is it more valuable than this nautical chart? This is bought by the emperor's decree of 100,000 taels, and I will ask Lao Cha to give it to you when I go back......"

Qin Mufeng laughed for a while, for him, what kind of wind and bamboo map, or strange stone map, don't say Su Shi's inscription, it is Wu Daozi's true handiwork, Wang Xizhi's inscription, in his eyes, is not worth a tael of silver, Xu Yifan can be regarded as playing the piano to the cow.

"Your Majesty, look!"

Ignoring Xu Yifan's angry eyes, he quickly hung up the map, the entire navigation chart, seven feet long and six feet wide, huge, that is, the hall of Xu Yifan's Guogong Mansion was big enough, and ordinary rooms really couldn't be hung up.

"This is the navigation chart of the entire South China Sea that the minister extracted from it, because the other navigation charts did not involve our next war, so they did not bring ......."

Cha Zhu pointed to the nautical chart and said, "This is the Luzon Islands, through the Pacific Ocean, Magellan first arrived here, and then from Luzon south, into Cebu Island, and then south again into the Banda Sea, through the Banda Sea, from the Timor Sea straight west, into the Indian Ocean, they did not go north to Malacca at all, did not enter India, directly crossed the Indian Ocean, went to the Cape of Good Hope in black Africa, that part of the map, because it has nothing to do with the South Sea, so the minister did not bring ......"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Jie nodded and asked, "Yifan, tell me, how should the defense of the South Seas be deployed next?" ”

Xu Yifan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the so-called noble soldiers are fast, the entire South Sea, the wind and waves are treacherous, only the Strait of Malacca has the smallest wind and waves, the deepest sea, and the easiest to pass, they have more than five hundred warships to come to the South Sea, even if it is an ordinary route, it is difficult to ensure safety, if it is possible, they will not choose to go to the Banda Sea to adventure, the first target is the Strait of Malacca, but once they hit a wall in the Strait of Malacca, they will choose to force a landing on Sumatra Island and the Malay Peninsula, Our Tianxiong army has already deployed a large army in these two places, they cannot take Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, and then, in order to be able to succeed in the expedition, they have to take a risk, choose to march from the Timor Sea and the Banda Sea, detour into the Luzon Islands, and then go straight to the coast of Daming! If I were a general of the coalition forces, I would have been suspicious in the western part of Malacca, attracting the main force of the Ming fleet to stay in the Strait of Malacca, and then advancing from the Luzon Islands to the north with all my might, advancing to the coast of the Ming Dynasty, completely disrupting our defensive deployment, and they would be able to take advantage of the chaos and look for opportunities to defeat the main force of our fleet, so that the Strait of Malacca would become a papier-mâché defense line, and it would not play a big role at all......"

Zhu Jie nodded and said: "Merchants are heavy on profits, overseas trade, naturally to low cost first, in order to seek the highest profits, naturally will choose to pass from Malacca to Daming, from the distance general, at least can reduce the distance of three or four thousand miles, save a lot of silver, but the war is not, it must be for the purpose of victory and defeat, the price paid is secondary, perhaps, our Strait of Malacca will really become a paper line of defense......"

Everyone's hearts became nervous, once hundreds of warships bypassed Malacca and entered the hinterland of the South China Sea and even the coast of the Ming Dynasty, the threat to the Ming Empire was too great, especially at sea, if you want to find the combined fleet of the Western Ocean, and then gather and annihilate it, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, hundreds of fleets seem to be huge, but above the sea, it is really a drop in the ocean......

"Lao Cha, you have personally inspected the Strait of Malacca, what is your evaluation of the defense line deployed by Tan Guilin, if the combined fleet of the West forcibly attacks Malacca, without relying on the Ming fleet, it can hold out in this area for a few days?"

Zhu Jie asked.

Cha Xuan muttered: "Five hundred warships, equipped with at least more than 20,000 guns, if a group of attackers, the batteries in the Strait of Malacca will definitely not be able to support, of course, such a huge fleet, in the Strait of Malacca can not be fully deployed to be able to open a hundred, it is already the limit, if a hundred warships storm the battery, with our deployment in the Strait of Malacca, it is enough to support more than seven days, but after a big battle, the Strait of Malacca will definitely become a ruin......
