Actually, Zheng He didn't stare at Jiang Xinghuo.

Instead, he stared wide-eyed at the strange chart of the sphere engraved with nations.

Annam, Siam, Chenla, Champang, Old Port, Ceylon, Maldives......

More than a dozen countries, both heard and unheard, are marked in detail on the globe, and there are even depictions of islands, straits, and ports, which can be said to be all-encompassing and all-encompassing.

Because Jiang Xinghuo pointed to him the location of the Maldives, Zheng He saw the side of Daming and the surrounding countries.

Although it is a somewhat reflective sphere, with the help of the moonlight, Zheng He, who is proficient in astronomical navigation, can still see at a glance that the accuracy of this strange spherical map is countless times more accurate than the best current nautical charts of the Ming Dynasty!

The information on the existing nautical charts of the Ming Dynasty is on this map, and it is more specific; The information that is not on the existing charts of the Ming Dynasty is also available on this map, and it does not seem to be a forgery.

Zheng He's heartbeat became extremely violent, and the sound of "plopping and plopping" echoed in his chest like a drum.

As long as there is this picture, doesn't it mean that the Daming fleet can easily come to this "Maldives" without hindrance, without the help of color navigators?

It must be known that this is far beyond the limit of the [officially organized ocean voyages] of the previous dynasties.

And Zheng He's farthest place to go to the sea so far is only Wanli Shitang (South China Sea), which is also due to Jiang Xinghuo.

In other words, in this day and age, as long as you have this strange spherical chart, you can make history and go down in history.

In fact, the reason why Zheng He pretended to be like this was to edict the prison.

First, in order to see for himself what kind of person this His Majesty and Master said about the immortal, and to understand the details, Zheng He is never willing to be just a passive mouthpiece, nor is he willing to be tossed around by Jiang Xinghuo with a word.

The second is that Zheng He himself also has a wish, if Jiang Xinghuo is really an immortal and can predict the future, then he can ask Jiang Xinghuo to help him see if his wish can be realized in the future.

Moreover, the emperor gave it to him before, collected Western intelligence, and prepared for going to sea and going to the West in the future!

Zheng He never expected to meet such a treasure here!

Of course, because Zheng He missed most of the lessons of listening to Jiang Xinghuo, until now, Zheng He is still in a state of doubt about whether Jiang Xinghuo is an immortal.

Zheng He just felt that it might be Jiang Xinghuo inadvertently bought it from a Semu merchant, or it was a family heirloom or something.

The mind is just a matter of breathing.

Zheng He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, struggled to break free of the jailer, leaned on the small window and asked in a loud voice, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Zheng He really didn't want to wait, even if he waited until tomorrow to know the answer, it would be a huge torture for him.

"Do it yourself." Jiang Xinghuo replied nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Zheng He's breathing was sluggish.

And with the unintentional swing of Jiang Xinghuo's fingertips, Zheng He carefully observed the moving sphere again, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and the more he looked at it, the more ecstatic he became!

If it weren't for the fear that this was the edict and the jailer didn't know his identity, he would have rushed into the cell now, took it from Jiang Xinghuo's hand, and then presented it to the emperor.

Because Zheng He saw a familiar place name.

- Mecca.

Mecca was first seen in the Southern Song Dynasty of China Chunxi five years of Zhou Qufei's "Lingwai Dai Answer" in the Ma Jia country, "Song Hui Yao" called Mojia, "Zhufan Zhi" called Ma Jia, to the Yuan Dynasty, there is the title of Mecca.

Mecca is the holy place of the Great Food Law (*** Religion).

The reason why Mecca became a holy place is that the harsh environment on the Arabian Peninsula often leads to inter-tribal conflicts, but every year they will have a truce and go to Mecca for Hajj, which is also an annual time to arbitrate disputes, debts are settled, people trade in Mecca bazaars, in short, the tribes have a common belief because of these annual events, which makes Mecca extremely important on the peninsula, and eventually leads to the sacred status of the city of Mecca in the hearts of the followers of the Great Eclipse.

Zheng He is very sure that this is simply a legendary treasure, and it is not easy to even prepare to mark the location of the holy land of Mecca!

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get into the cell! ”

In fact, the conversation between the two was very brief, and the thoughts in Zheng He's mind were only a momentary matter.

The jailers who followed from behind looked solemn, and no longer pushed, but looked at each other and drew their knives one after another.

"Qiang~"

The sound of the long knife coming out of the sheath was endless, Zheng He ignored it completely, just stared at Jiang Xinghuo with burning eyes, leaned against the iron door and said sincerely: "Can you sell it to me?" The price is negotiable. ”

Jiang Xinghuo finally raised his head and looked at the cellmate who looked like Guan Gong in front of him.

Zheng He's expression was solemn, quite a bit majestic and majestic, but unfortunately, Jiang Xinghuo was not shocked, and was still lying lazily on the straw pile.

Jiang Xinghuo yawned and said indifferently: "This kind of thing, carved with your hands to relieve boredom, is not interested in selling." ”

This sentence is not perfunctory, but Jiang Xinghuo really feels that there is no need to sell it.

In the edict prison, Jiang Xinghuo is a prisoner, and there is no shortage of silver, what can he get in exchange for selling the globe? It's better to keep it for yourself.

"Carved with your hands. Relieve boredom." The corners of Zheng He's mouth twitched, resisting the urge to stare his eyes out.

This is a priceless treasure!

In the other party's mouth, it turned out to be just a toy carved out in leisure time to relieve boredom!

What a wrenching thing!

Zheng He was about to say something, but several jailers who followed quickly grabbed him with blades, and Zheng He had no choice but to follow the jailer into his cell.

With a "bang", the cell door closed, basically isolating the sound of the outside world.

"It is forbidden to talk at night, and the offender will be punished with eighty lashes!"

This is a final reminder from the jailer.

Zheng He sat cross-legged on the ground with a straight waist.

His heart was still pounding, and it was hard to recover.

Because of Zheng He's last glimpse, he saw more things!

The sphere he had just seen not only marked the coordinates of all the countries and famous cities in his cognition. What's more, in the far west, there are many unheard of countries such as Hungary, Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, the Teutonic Knights, Norway, Sweden, and Novgorod, which have been marked, and although he has not heard of these countries, Zheng He can be sure that the other party's labeling is most likely correct.

Because after Zheng He was castrated, he stayed in the Yanwang Mansion for many years, so he had a lot of insight that others did not have.

The Yanwang Mansion was originally the site of the Dayuan Imperial Palace, and there were a lot of classics and notes written by the Mongols left in the Yanwang Mansion.

Let's take the simplest example.

In the history of the Great Eclipse, Muhammad migrated to Medina and made it the first capital of the Great Eclipse regime, with the Umayyad dynasty moving the capital to Damascus and the Abbasids moving to Baghdad, Iraq.

For nearly 500 years, the center of power of the Great Food Regime was in Baghdad, which became a center of academic research and commerce.

More than 100 years ago, the Mongols invaded Baghdad and sacked it, one of the most unbearable events in the history of the Great Eclipse, and after the Battle of Baghdad, the Mongols swept across the Western world and conquered Syria.

All of this is clearly remembered in the notes of the Mongols.

Even the information about the current Timurid Khanate, Zhu Di has mastered it because of this.

For example, in the palace of King Yan, there is the "Journey to the West" written by Yelu Chucai, which records in detail the main cities, population, geography, and customs of the present-day Timurid Khanate.

"There are more than 1,000 miles to the west of the thorn, and there is a big city called looking for a dry thought, looking for a dry person, and the westerners are also fattening, and the land is fertile, so it is named. The name of the West Liao is the city called Hezhongfu, and it is also close to the river. Thinking about doing very rich, with gold and copper money, no holes, all things are in the middle of the summer without rain, leading the river to excited, the rate of two acres to collect the bell Xu; Brewed with peach (grape), the taste is like Zhongshan Jiuyu; There are quite mulberry, few silkworms, so the silk cocoon is extremely difficult, and they are all subservient. The natives take white clothes as the auspicious color and green clothes as mourning clothes, so they are all dressed in white ......"

In this way, although there is no specific location demarcation like Jiang Xinghuo's spherical chart, the names of these cities are all well-founded.

Of course, there are some other side corroborations.

For example, "Lithuania" and "Moscow", two countries slightly further east, were the farthest places that the Mongols had conquered in the west, but the Mongols also knew that there were indeed some countries founded by the golden-haired barbarians further west, and these countries were called "Falang Creek", "Yingge Blue", and "Low Neck".

Zheng He, who was in charge of the creation of classics in the Yanwang Mansion for a period of time, was the one who happened to know this secret!

Ordinary Confucian students like Jiang Xinghuo, who were implicated by Fang Xiaoru's "Ten Clans", could not have come into contact with this kind of secret in terms of identity; In terms of experience, I haven't even been to Nanjing a few times, and I haven't had the experience of going to sea, and it is impossible to know the overseas world, and I know it so clearly.

Combined with the fact that the other party clearly knows that there are gold and silver mountains in Japan, and there is guano island in the stone pond.

The only answer is that the other party is an immortal who has insight into the heavens!

At this time, Zheng He fell into deeper thinking.

"Why did Jiang Xinghuo make this globe and show it to me when I was pretending to be a prisoner and going to prison?"

"Could it be that he had predicted that I was coming, and he had anticipated my wishes and questions, so he prepared the answers to my questions in advance?"

Thinking of Jiang Xinghuo's confident posture again, Zheng He gasped.

Now Zheng He has somewhat believed what the emperor and master told him, Jiang Xinghuo is really an immortal!

The power of immortals is terrifying!

Separated by a prison cell, Jiang Xinghuo naturally didn't know what the other party thought.

If you know, you will only feel speechless.

What is confident, obviously he just woke up from sleep

The light in the cell gradually dimmed, and Jiang Xinghuo, who couldn't sleep a little after being interrupted, stood up and looked out of the skylight on the stone wall of the cell.

No matter how salted the fish is, after lying flat for a long time, they will want to move.

In the dark night sky, the stars twinkle, reflecting a long Milky Way.

Jiang Xinghuo squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky.

In his memory, Nanjing, the world was brightly lit at night, not to mention the electric lights in every house, and the city full of skyscrapers was even more neon flashing, like day.

It's just that now, I'm afraid that except for the mansions of the powerful and the painting boats on the Qinhuai River, the whole city has fallen into darkness.

An indescribable sense of loneliness welled up in my heart.

The top brass of the Ming Empire have undoubtedly noticed themselves.

So what should I do?

This question has been lingering in Jiang Xinghuo's mind recently.

Especially the appearance of "Mr. Qiu", which made Jiang Xinghuo more and more convinced of this.

There is no doubt that in this era, a person with this kind of wisdom and insight is definitely not an ordinary household official, and the temperament of the other party is also quite majestic.

This kind of majesty is a bit similar to the imperial history that Jiang Xinghuo saw in the third life.

It's not exactly like that. Zhang Xun is tough on the outside and ruthless on the inside, and although the temperament of this "Mr. Qiu" on the surface is also upright, there are still some differences on the inside.

But no matter what, Jiang Xinghuo can be sure that "Mr. Qiu" is definitely not an ordinary person.

In other words, the few fellow inmates he contacted were not ordinary people.

Gao Yu's Tie Hanhan doesn't talk about it, this kind of devil muscular man really doesn't look like a normal ordinary person, saying that he eats three vegetative people in one meal Jiang Xinghuo believes it.

For example, Jiang Xinghuo has already recognized Li Jinglong, well, that is, Cao Jiujiang and Cao Gongzi.

In Jiang Xinghuo's impression, this generation of Ming God of War, who is now in his thirties, seems to be a pure iron waste in history, the Ming version of MacArthur.

Ah no, according to the chronological order, the name of Mai Dashuai is the American version of Li Jinglong.

As I said before, he is also a third-rate general (the tactical level is more than the strategic level), a second-rate commander (who can dispatch an army of more than 100,000 people to fight in an orderly manner, but there is still a gap between him and a first-class commander), a first-class politician (who can see the wind and rudder to complete political speculation), and a top-class actor (who is extremely good at showmanship).

But you must know that as a senior traverser, Jiang Xinghuo has also led soldiers to fight, right?

When the third generation was guarding Suiyang City, Jiang Xinghuo's subordinates were in charge of hundreds of Tang soldiers.

Since then, Jiang Xinghuo has fully realized that the matter of leading troops to fight is really not something that ordinary people can play, and recalling Li Jinglong's kind of situation when he talked about logistics baggage, troop marching, camping, etc., Jiang Xinghuo also had to admit that Li Jinglong was not as iron-clad as he had in his previous life.

Not to mention anything else, just arranging the order of eating, drinking, and marching for hundreds of thousands of troops is already a task that absolutely no one can accomplish.

It can only be said that people who can leave a reputation in history books are really not as incompetent as they imagined.

In other words, it's just that Li Jinglong's opponent Zhu Di is too strong.

The name "Zhu Di" comes to mind.

Jiang Xinghuo's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Zhu Di, the holder of the record of the rebellion of feudal kings in Chinese history, a powerful existence with the ability of genealogical disappearance, the only emperor in the Internet Temple, a strange mage with a 'great divine wind technique' comparable to Liu Xiu's meteorite technique, and Zhu Di, the general of the Great Ming Expedition to the Great North, may have paid attention to himself at this moment.

This made Jiang Xinghuo's heart feel a little pressure.

There is no way, the name of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is too loud in later generations.

Zhu Di, how will he treat himself?

Jiang Xinghuo doesn't have to think about it, in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, his various eccentricities must not be hidden.

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Xinghuo felt that he was purely from his past self and his current self in the edict for his idle behavior of pointing out the country in the edict.

Let's not discuss the philosophical question of "whether the past me is another me", if Jiang Xinghuo appeared two months ago, Jiang Xinghuo would definitely tell him viciously, don't point fingers at the country, you can't do this old problem.

But now, the wood is done

And what makes Jiang Xinghuo most puzzling is that I'm really just talking!

How did you still believe?

If you believe it, forget it.

How can you really do it?!

The "Great Sun and Moon Treasury Bonds" really gave Jiang Xinghuo a little shock.

Jiang Xinghuo became a primitive man on the straw pile, used straw as a knot, and began to calculate what he had bragged about.

It doesn't matter, from the performance of the feudal domain, the apportionment of the mu, to the Ming national debt, fertilizer, central tax and local tax, and the tax police corps Jiang Xinghuo's scalp became more and more numb, and in the end it was almost about to explode.

Scratching his scalp, Jiang Xinghuo's eyelids began to beat wildly.

Out of prison, there are only four classes left.

After being released from prison, how to face this new Da Ming?

In other words, how to face Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle?

If Zhu Di asks himself to help him do things, will he do it himself?

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment and finally settled down.

Jiang is not cowardly!

If Zhu Di really wants to do something that is conducive to changing the world and making the people's lives better, then Jiang Xinghuo is naturally willing to cooperate with him.

But if Zhu Di wanted to do something to brutalize the people, purely to consolidate the rule of the feudal emperor, or to come up with an idea, Jiang Xinghuo would never do it.

After all, as a veteran time-traveler who has traveled through the eighth life.

What way did Jiang Xinghuo die that he hadn't tried?

He is just lying flat on the surface, but in fact, his tolerance for pain has long reached the limit of human beings.

Wives are scattered, boiled, killed, and starved. Jiang Xinghuo has suffered all kinds of hardships and all crimes, and he is not afraid of any threat in the physical sense at all.

In other words, Jiang Xinghuo is disdainful, and he will not be like many people in his previous life, giving the emperor quite a dog, and what kind of expectations for the prince of the country.

What happened to the Six Dynasties was only a private plan.

If you have to do these things for the sake of the continuation of your own bloodline, what is the point of crossing?

If you want to do it, you will do something that will change the world!

Jiang Xinghuo believes that since he is not afraid of death or torture, with the knowledge and insight in his mind, he has enough capital to negotiate conditions with Emperor Yongle.

Even if Jiang Xinghuo helped Zhu Di, it was only to achieve his goal of saving the common people through Zhu Di's power.

Jiang Xinghuo felt that for Zhu Di, Zhu Di would definitely want to use his strategy to enhance the national strength, but at the same time, Zhu Di must be vigilant and wary of things that threaten Zhu Di's imperial power.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo must use Zhu Di's shrewdness and short-sightedness to reasonably avoid contradictions and achieve his goal of saving the common people.

Therefore, either cooperate and confront, change the world and transform the Ming through win-win.

Either you shoot it or break it up, and you kill me.

Jiang directly opened the ninth life, isn't it beautiful?

After thinking about all this, Jiang Xinghuo inexplicably remembered a poem by Linghu Chu in the Tang Dynasty.

The bow back of the Xia Ming sword shines on the frost, and the autumn wind goes out of Xianyang.

If you haven't received the Tianzi River, you don't plan to look back at your hometown.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the starlight tonight, and not only sighed.

"I don't want to look back at my hometown."

Then, Jiang Xinghuo, who had a clear mind, turned over and fell asleep.

Ask for a commuter pass!
