"I didn't expect Qianyuan to have such a glorious past!"

After being silent for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Bin, and then changed his tone and said, "Boy Lan Bin, do you think that Da Ming can copy the experience of the Great Mongolia and lay down more territory?"

"Yes!" What Lan Bin is waiting for is Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, which is categorical.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and said with interest, "Why?"

When he first listened to Lan Bin's story, he really had the urge to lead the Ming Dynasty to conquer a large territory like the Great Mongolia. But the impulse only lasted for a cup of tea, and thinking of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, he pressed the impulse to endure.

At present, the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, lack of silver and grain, and counts all the money and grain reserves of the imperial court, and supports at most two large-scale wars against the Northern Yuan.

If there is one more fight, the money and food of the imperial court will not be able to hold on, the light will shake the country, and the heavy will be reversed.

In this case, how can we learn from the Great Mongolia and lay down a large territory?

However, even he didn't have the confidence to learn from Mongolia to expand its territory abroad, and Lan Bin actually said that he could, and it was difficult to be interested or not.

"Because I am ahead of the world in all aspects, as long as the method is correct and step by step, one day, the flag of the Ming Dynasty will be planted all over the world!" Speaking of this, Lan Bin was a little excited and said longingly.

This is not Lan Bin fooling Zhu Yuanzhang, but the truth.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was ahead of the world in terms of military, culture, science and technology, and economy, and it was visited by all countries in the world several times, and none of them could fight.

Taking the military as an example, in the early Ming Dynasty, there were many commanders and generals with rich experience in actual combat, and their weapons also transitioned from cold weapons to hot weapons.

The number of troops is as high as more than 2 million.

That's more than the total population of many countries.

If these advantages can be brought into play, he can't think of any reason why the Ming Dynasty can't unify the world.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand Lan Bin's words, he still had a feeling of blood boiling, especially when he saw Lan Bin's longing and excitement.

But he knew very well that the current situation of Daming's internal and external troubles was not suitable for starting a war lightly, so he quickly held back his restless thoughts, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Lan Bin boy, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, didn't your husband teach you? Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish!"

"The minister is in vain!" Lan Bin smiled.

He also knows the current situation of the imperial court, and even the officials of the imperial court to govern the local area are not ready, so how can they go to war and expand externally?

So he stopped at the point and did not continue to bewitch Zhu Yuanzhang.

Anyway, he's still young and has time to wait.

In the future, the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty were calmed down, and he accumulated enough foundation, even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not move, he would find a way to promote the Ming Dynasty to embark on the road of external expansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lan Bin, then looked at the globe, and learned from the appearance of Lan Bin who had just dialed the globe sphere with his hand, and also reached out to dial the globe sphere.

I looked at the countries marked on it, and even the borderless continent. Look at the book

Some of them were suspicious: "Boy Lan Bin, how did you draw the map of the territory of Daming and other countries on a wooden ball?"

"Back to the emperor, this wooden ball symbolizes the land under our feet!" Lan Bin said busily.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and suddenly remembered something: "Let's remember, before our good grandson said that we live on a ball?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lan Bin said seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed, and he glared and said, "Nonsense, since ancient times, the sky is round and the place is round, how can you say that you live on a ball?"

"In the future, these crooked theories are not allowed to be told to our good grandson."

"You've led our good grandson astray, we can't spare you!"

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged! That's not what I said, that's what the ancients said!" Lan Bin shouted.

Speaking of which, the statement that people live on a ball is really not what Lan Bin put forward first. As early as the Qin Dynasty, someone mentioned the theory that the earth is round, and Zhang Heng, an outstanding scientist, astronomer and mathematician in the Eastern Han Dynasty, recognized the theory of the circle of the earth, and further elaborated on the theory that the earth is round, the sky is like a chicken, the celestial body is round like an egg ball, and the earth is like a chicken in the yellow.

It's just that the theory of the circle of the earth is not recognized by the mainstream of society, and the people who put forward and support the theory of the circle of the earth have not been able to complete the global voyage like Magellan's fleet, which verified the theory of the circle of the earth in the West.

So much so that the theory of the circle of the earth is buried in the historical trend and is rarely mentioned.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, looked at Lan Bin for a while, and then said, "What did the ancients say? If you can't say it, we'll condemn you to a deception!"

"There are many, there are Hui Shi of the Qin Dynasty, one of the four masters of Han Fu, Zhang Heng who improved the armillary sphere, and so on." Lan Bin said busily.
