With the defeat of the last wave of Japanese robbers, Taizhou temporarily restored its tranquility, and Hu Zongxian's victory has been sent to Beijing with an eight-hundred-mile flying horse, and then Qi Jiguang should be promoted to three levels in a row to get his due reward, and Qi's army will also become famous all over the world with this battle; In the future, Qi Jiguang will also lead his Qi family army to expedition to Fujian, Xinghua, and Xianyou, and defeat these Japanese who dare to offend the territory of the Ming Dynasty again and again, until he achieves his ideal of "sealing the marquis is not my will, but I hope the sea is peaceful".

It's just that these have little to do with Li You, the battle of Taizhou is over, his mission has been successfully completed, and now it's time to return, but he still has some things to say to Qi Jiguang before leaving.

"Wenyang, are you leaving?" In the past six months or so, Li You and Qi Jiajun have trained and fought together, Qi Jiguang has subconsciously regarded him as a member of Qi Jiajun, if Li You hadn't stopped him, he also wanted to write Li You's name in the merit, so that he could have a good future; Now hearing that he was leaving, Qi Jiguang was surprised.

"Yes, I have been away from home for a long time, and now that the widows in Taizhou have been wiped out by General Qi, it's time to go home." Li You said vaguely.

"Wenyang is afraid that he is going to participate in the township test, right? With Wenyang's literary brilliance, this branch will be able to go to high school. Li You didn't say much, Qi Jiguang had already found a reason for him, "Since this is the case, Qi will no longer stop it, I hope Wenyang Jinke High School will solve the yuan; If you go to Nanzhili in the future, you will definitely come to visit. ”

The imperial examination is a great thing for the literati of the Ming Dynasty, since Qi Jiguang guessed like this, he also saved himself from finding a reason to explain, but he wanted to find himself in Nanzhili I am afraid there is no hope, worried that Qi Jiguang will waste time, Li You said, "Don't use this, if Wenyang wins the jinshi in the future, he will come to visit General Qi." ”

"It's so good, the achievements of Wenyang in Japan may not be under Mr. Yangming." Throughout the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the civil and military officials do not know how many, especially the new Bowang Shouren is the most revered, although Qi Jiguang's words are slightly exaggerated, but it is also a good blessing to Li You, and also pinned his expectations on Li You.

"In the past six months, there have been many harassments about General Qi, and Wen Yang feels very uneasy in his heart, so he has a gift for General Qi." Li You hurriedly diverted the topic, so as not to make a mistake by saying too much.

"Why is Wenyang so polite? You came to our army to teach soldiers archery, Qi was too late to be grateful, so why bother? Qi Jiguang looked displeased, obviously thinking that Li You was out of sight when he gave the gift.

"This kind of thing is not a valuable thing, General Qi might as well take a look at it." Li You ordered a large box to be too tight, and then opened it, only to see a huge wooden ball placed inside, which was brushed with white paint, and then painted with various colors and many twisted lines, Qi Jiguang was not shallow, but he didn't recognize what it was.

"Wenyang, what is this? Qi has never seen it. Seeing Li You move the big ball out and place it properly, Qi Jiguang asked curiously.

Of course you haven't seen it, although the first globe in history was made by the German navigator and geographer Beheim as early as 1492, oh, it was probably the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, right? In China, although as early as the Yuan Dynasty, the Western Regions astronomer Zamaruddin made something similar for the imperial superintendent, which reflected the distribution of sea and land on the earth's surface on the spherical surface, but the manufacturing was too crude to reflect reality.

Later, it was not until more than 30 years later, in the Wanli period, when Qi Jiguang had already passed away for many years, that the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci brought the globe to China.

"This is a globe, Zhang Pingzi (Zhang Heng) in the Han Dynasty once said: Heaven and earth are like chickens, and the earth is like eggs in the yellow; The earth under our feet is a spherical shape, and the distribution of the countries and oceans under the world is drawn on this globe, and I am here in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese Kingdom is here, and Annan is here ......" Li You pointed out the location of the Ming Dynasty and several surrounding countries one by one.

"I'm so young?" The people of the Central Plains, who have always regarded themselves as the Central Empire, naturally felt a little awkward when they saw that the Ming Dynasty only occupied such a small area on the globe, so after Li You explained a few professional questions with examples such as the gradual rise of ships from the sea level, Qi Jiguang asked.

"My Ming Dynasty is from south to north, from east to west, but thousands of miles at most, nearly 10,000 miles, and the circumference of the entire earth is 80,000 miles, compared to the entire earth, my Ming is indeed smaller, but among these countries on the earth, my Ming is relatively large." Li You patiently explained.

After answering a few questions to satisfy Qi Jiguang's curiosity, Li You sighed, "Since the Tang Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom has been peeping into my Central Plains, and this time General Qi drove them away only to treat the symptoms but not the root cause." ”

"What is Wenyang's best plan?" Of course, Qi Jiguang also realized this, the Daming sea area is vast, Hai'an County is thousands of miles long, and the Japanese can go ashore anywhere, but they can only defend on land, and the strategic situation is extremely unfavorable.

"Of course, it's to attack the Japanese mainland." Now that the Age of Exploration has begun, and since Liu Daxia burned Zheng He's treasure ship blueprints, China's navigation technology has gradually lagged behind the West, and Li You hopes to take this opportunity to let the Ming also participate in this fierce competition.

So he told Qi Jiguang about the abundant products in Southeast Asia, the land that crops three times a year, the amazing output of the Iwami Silver Mountain in the Japanese Kingdom, the vast land of the Americas, the high profits of maritime trade, and so on.

He knew that with the system of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was powerless even if he wanted to make achievements in this area, so Li You finally said, "Wen Yang knows a little about numerology, and he sees that General Qi will meet a noble person who leans towards the government and the opposition in the future, if there is a chance in the future, you may wish to relay this thing and what I just said to him, maybe it can help the Ming Dynasty." ”

Li You said that it was Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty in the future, who firmly implemented his own reforms and allowed the Ming Dynasty to continue his life, Qi Jiguang won the trust of Zhang Juzheng in the future, and made many meritorious achievements under his hands.

If Zhang Juzheng, who is known as the most outstanding politician of the Ming generation, can open his eyes to the world, and in what direction will the Ming Dynasty develop in the future, Li You is quite curious. Presumably, with Zhang Juzheng's political vision, he will definitely be tempted by the benefits that the ocean can bring, right? It's just that I don't know if there will be a female captain named Li Huamei in Daming's fleet in the future?

Li You and Qi Jiguang chatted for three days, and he told Qi Jiguang everything he knew about the Age of Discovery, and then left Daming and returned to Dawei. (To be continued.) )
