Chapter 125, Musket Artillery, The Whole World

Leaving Emei and coming to the nearest county town, the two found a restaurant to eat. The guy reported the name of the dish, and after the two of them ordered, he asked, "Guest officer, do you want a spicy dish?" This is our specialty here, and you can't eat it anywhere else. ”

"Spicy dishes, yes, since it's your specialty here, let's have one. Li Shucheng said.

After the dish came up, Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue looked at the spicy dish and knew that it was a dipping water made of chili peppers. The two glanced at each other, and Li Shucheng said: "If that's the case, there really isn't anything else in other places." Man, come, sit, sit, tell me how this thing came about. ”

"Don't sit. Don't sit, the small ones are a guy. This!" Anyway, there were no other customers in the store at this time, so the guy told the two of them, "It was brought by the newly appointed Lu Zhixian five years ago." At that time, he brought several things that he had never seen before and planted them in the official fields. Except for keeping it for himself to eat, the rest was given to others. And just like that, these things were planted in the county. Speaking of which, Lu Zhixian is really a good official, and the things he brought are really good things. The artichoke and sweet potato can cook and fill their stomachs, and since the word spreads, the life of the people in the county has been better. This chili pepper is also a good thing, and many people in the county like to eat it, and many people can't throw it away after eating it once. ”

"A cup to Lu Zhixian. Li Shucheng picked up his glass and said, "He is a good official." ”

After eating and checking out, Li Shucheng said: "If you can bring these few things over, this Luzhi County should be from Denglai, and there are no other places where these things are." "No one knows, the magistrate brought these things here just to satisfy his appetite.

Out of the county seat, to the north, the two have already discussed, the pirates have been solved, and now there is nothing to do, so they will go west along the Silk Road, and tour the past along the way.

On this day, he met a middle-aged couple with a twelve or thirteen-year-old child on the road, and Li Shucheng felt a little familiar and curious when he saw the appearance of the two.

"You listen to their name, 'Minmin', looking at the appearance and age, isn't it Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min. Jiang Mingyue said with a smile.

"Hey, I've forgotten that they're not too young, and I still have the two of them looking like when they were young. Li Shucheng said, "According to their appearance, they have just returned to Daming." If they go to the west, do they want to go to Guangmingding? I'm afraid they don't know that there is no one at Guangmingding. ”

After walking for five days, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min stopped in front, and in front of them was a ruined wall.

I saw Zhang Wuji put down the child on his back and sighed: "I didn't expect that Green Willow Villa has become like this." ”

Zhao Min leaned on Zhang Wuji and said, "It's okay, let's rebuild little by little, and one day we will return to the way we used to be." ”

Zhang Wuji smiled when he heard this: "Is that underground secret room also going to be rebuilt?"

Zhao Min's face turned red and said, "It's not serious." As he spoke, he fell into a memory, and his voice became soft, "It was after I met you here that I became obsessed, and I forgot all about the great cause of exterminating the martial arts, and I didn't even listen to my father's words, so I wanted to follow you." ”

"It's really Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min!" From a distance, Li Shucheng looked at the three of them and said, "It seems that this is the place where they have fallen in love, and now they are coming back to live in seclusion here." ”

The two didn't bother Zhang Wuji's family, they just watched it from a distance and continued on the road.

All the way west to Beshbali. Beshi Bali is also a country founded by the Mongols, Zhao Min's ancestors are here Namantai is the people here, and they are also the descendants of Genghis Khan's general Mu Huali. Now Beshi Bali has paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and recognized the suzerainty status of the Ming Dynasty.

After Beshin Bali, it is the Timurid Empire. The Timurid Empire was formerly known as the Western Chagatai Khanate, and Yili was called the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which was divided into two states by the descendants of Chagatai. Timur first supported the weak Husin, and after Huxin finally sat on the throne of God, Timur killed Husin and became the emperor himself, establishing the Timurid Empire.

However, the Timurid Empire was not strong at this time, so it still sent tribute to the Ming Dynasty. However, he was not willing to bow down and be a small person, his lifelong wish was to dissolve the tributary relationship, and later after his strength was strong, he also detained and imprisoned the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and led 200,000 soldiers to invade the Ming Dynasty, but died of illness during the march. His descendants fled to India after the defeat and founded the Mughal dynasty.

In recent years, Central Asia and West Asia have been in turmoil, various forces have repeatedly fought wars, the population has plummeted, and the people's livelihood has withered. And *** religion is popular, and Timur is one of the emperors who believe in *** religion. Therefore, when the two came to the Persian region, they found no traces of the activities of the Persian Ming Sect.

Continue westward, across the Mediterranean, stay on the mainland for a few years, then buy a boat and continue westward, toiling across the ocean and setting foot on another land. After going ashore, Li Shucheng sighed with emotion, and the two of them were strong in martial arts, so they dared to come over with a small boat like this, if they were ordinary people, they would have been buried at the bottom of the sea.

The two times they encountered danger, they put the ship into space, and the two dived to the bottom of the sea to avoid the storm, and ordinary people would have been drowned long ago.

After collecting the boat, they walked along the coast, and after a few days they came to a familiar place, where the two had stayed for a long time.

"Hey, we've been going west, and we're actually here? Could it be that Aristotle is right when they say that the earth is round?" Jiang Mingyue was surprised. She had seen the conjectures and theories of Pythagoras and Aristotle, and she was very impressed because they were different from the prevailing theory of the round sky and the earth prevailing in China.

"Well, since we've been heading west, of course the earth is round, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten here. Li Shucheng said, "The last time we came here, we went east. ”

Crossing the continent, taking the previous ship out of space, carrying the ship along the sea route that it had traveled before, and going ashore after reaching the mainland. Li Shucheng looked at it, this should be the place that was later named Vladivostok.

Along the way, I got the news all the way that it was now the first year of Yongle. Yongle is Zhu Di's era name, so to speak, Zhu Di has defeated his nephew Zhu Yunwen to ascend to the throne.

Thanks to the TV series "Love Through Time and Space", Li Shucheng checked history, and after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen served as the emperor for four years, and then was seized by Zhu Di.

Thinking about Zhu Yunwen, he didn't lose unjustly, and he thought about cutting his face before he was ready after taking the position, but he couldn't harden his heart, or the people below didn't deeply understand his thoughts, anyway, Zhu Di had lost several battles before, and even had to run away alone. However, because Zhu Yunwen said that he couldn't kill Zhu Di, Zhu Di saved the day several times. Then the monk Yao Guangxiao saw that Zhu Di was really not what he looked like, and instructed him not to entangle with the imperial court in Shandong, and kill directly to the capital, as long as Zhu Yunwen was killed, it would be done!

According to Monk Yao's strategy, Zhu Di successfully broke through the capital and achieved his wish. In order to cover his ears and show that he was legitimate, he removed Zhu Yunwen's era name Jianwen, and directly increased the era name of Hongwu to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu, and changed it to Yongle in the second year of his accession. He was happy forever, but his nephew was blind from crying.

Li Shucheng calculated according to the Western calendar, and this year should be 1403.

But since Zhu Di has ascended the throne, what else is there to say? Moreover, Zhu Di is not bad as an emperor, and the arquebus and artillery in his hand can only be given to him.

In the Imperial Palace of the capital, it was already late at night when Li Shucheng entered, there were lights everywhere, and the guards were also very vigilant. But for others, they can't detect Li Shucheng at all.

In the imperial study, Zhu Di is commenting on the folding. When he was not the emperor, he thought about how the emperor was beautiful, but when he became the emperor, he knew that it was also a trouble, the Ming Dynasty was so big, and there were countless events that happened every day, even if the people below screened it a few times, the folds sent to him were also a big stack.

Li Shucheng looked out the window, and in addition to Zhu Di, there was also a person dressed as a eunuch standing next to him. "Well, this kid's martial arts are not weak, and the nature of his internal skills is very familiar. Eunuch, is it Luo Shen's heir?" Li Shucheng thought to himself.

"Zheng He, what time is it?" only to hear Zhu Di ask inside.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time. The eunuch bowed and replied.

"Zheng He, the Zheng He who will go to the West in the future?" Li Shucheng thought to himself, "I didn't expect that Zheng He is still a master." That's right, he's not a master, where did he get the credit for his surname and promotion? "Sunflower Treasure Book"! I don't know where Zheng He can go in the end. ”

Seeing that it was still being folded inside, Li Shucheng took out a few samples of arquebuses and artillery, and then there was a booklet that recorded the production method and how to use it. After thinking about it, he took out the world map he had just completed, then coughed and said with a smile: "The performance is okay, then I will give you some gifts." ”

Inside, Zhu Di and Zheng He were taken aback, someone actually touched the imperial study and the palace was completely unaware! Zheng He wanted to chase him out, but considering the emperor's safety, he could only press his mind.

shouted a few loudly, and soon a guard came, and another old eunuch came, Zheng He heard the old eunuch's voice before escorting Zhu Di out. This old eunuch is one of Luo Shen's two disciples, Zhu Di guarded the north and blocked the Mongols, he threw himself into Zhu Di's palace, got Zhu Di's trust, and guarded Zhu Di's safety.

Looking at the two little eunuchs who were unconscious and the things on the ground, the old eunuch picked up two booklets and a roll of pictures, opened one and looked at it for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a booklet that introduces these two things. It is said that the small one is called an arquebus, and the large one is called an artillery, both of which are weapons in the army. ”

As he spoke, he handed it to Zhu Di, opened another book, looked at it and smiled happily: "This is the casting method of two weapons." Congratulations to Your Majesty on obtaining this artifact!"

Then unfold the picture and read it in large letters: "The whole map of the world." ”
