The Age of Discovery!
This word is full of mysterious magic!
Yang Shiqi and Wang Jing were both shocked and speechless at this moment.
The two of them had always known that His Highness the King of Han was full of longing for the sea, so he attached great importance to the Ming Dynasty Navy.
But neither of them expected that His Highness the King of Han's ambition would be so lofty!
He wanted to use his own power to forcefully carry the Ming Dynasty across the ocean and forcefully start the Age of Navigation!
"Your Majesty, will the court agree?"
Wang Jing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and asked a fatal question.
If His Highness the King of Han does all this, will the court agree?
The King of Han was just a grandmaster prince, not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not even the prince!
He has worked so hard to do all this, and it is very likely that he will be completely rejected by the prince or even the emperor!
What's the point?
Zhu Gaoxu's expression did not change when he heard this, he smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, as long as Zheng He brings back the divine seed, everything will not be a problem."
"You have far underestimated the magic power of divine seeds. With the divine seeds in the Ming Dynasty, many previously barren lands will become fertile fields suitable for farming. The grain output of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly increased, and the population of the Ming Dynasty will also usher in a blowout. period!"
"At that time, it will no longer be me pushing the Ming Dynasty to go overseas, but the entire Ming Dynasty will take the initiative to ask the court to go overseas and move towards a more vast new world. After all, the persistence of the fields is engraved in the bones of the Chinese people. If there is Who cares if there are too many fields in hand when God’s seed is in hand?”
God's seed!
To put it bluntly, they are three high-yielding food crops: potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. In addition, there are American crops such as peanuts, pumpkins, peppers, and cassava.
These common American crops of later generations are currently unknown, waiting to be discovered.
Columbus discovered the New World, which was five years after the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. It was still more than half a century ago!
In this case, Zhu Gaoxu can't force himself to live for another seventy or eighty years and wait until Columbus discovers the New World, right?
The New World has not been discovered yet, so discover it yourself.
The Ming Dynasty did not have Columbus, but the Ming Dynasty had Zheng He, thousands of brave and capable naval officers, and the most powerful and invincible navy in the world!
In this case, what more is there to say about Columbus?
The route Zhu Gaoxu provided for Zheng He and the navy would naturally not be to sail to the Western Ocean again and go around half of the world to see if they could reach America alive. That would be unrealistic, and Ming Dynasty couldn't wait.
It was absolutely feasible to sail directly from Japan to North America (now Ning Kingdom), and there were Japanese slaves who had successfully accomplished such a feat in the fifteenth century.
But the storms in the Bering Sea were so strong that even ships of later generations were often wrecked and perished.
Therefore, the route planned by Zhu Gaoxu for the Ming Navy was to take the North Pacific Gyre.
After Ning Wang Zhu Quan, with the cooperation of Zheng He's navy, successfully transformed the Japanese state into Ning state, the secret letter from the Han prince and the emperor's edict were sent to Zheng He, and the naval fleet also set sail from a port in the eastern part of Ning state.
The keel problem is solved.
The pointed bottom of the ship is unified.
The cowhide jib was replaced.
Heavy artillery was also successfully moved onto the ship.
In this era, on the sea, who else can stop the Ming Navy?
"Prince Han, is there any news about the naval fleet?"
Yang Shiqi couldn't wait to ask, and he was a little excited.
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Gaoxu heard what he said, his old face suddenly darkened.
There is news about your uncle!
If there is news, will Zhu Di write letters to scold me every now and then?
The naval fleet sails directly from Ningguo to North America. If the winds and currents are favorable, it will actually only take about forty days to reach the east coast of North America.
When returning, the navy took the Central Pacific Ocean Current, which is the common route for Spain's Grand Triangle trade. However, it should be done in winter and spring, so as to avoid those terrible typhoons in the Pacific. If the winds and rivers go smoothly, it only takes about fifty years. I can run back in the morning.
But damn, it has been at least a year and a half since the navy fleet left, and there is still no news.
Sometimes Zhu Gaoxu is really afraid. Is the Pacific circulation different in this era? Or is it that the sailing talents he trained for Zheng He were not up to par with their skills and could not fully recognize the climate and ocean currents, which led to him successfully burying the Ming Dynasty's invincible navy? fleet!
Not only was he a little anxious, Emperor Yongle couldn't sit still either.
After all, Zheng He's navy was a powerful maritime force that he had built with his own hands. If it was destroyed in such an unknown way, and he didn't even know where he died, Zhu Di would really hang Zhu Gaoxu up and beat him!
For the current plan, the father and son can only wait and continue to wait patiently, hoping that God will favor the Ming Dynasty again!
Seeing His Highness the King of Han's face turn blue, Yang Shiqi realized that he had asked a stupid question.
After laughing twice, he asked again, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Ahem, Lord Han, how is Yang Pu doing these days?"
"Yes, he performed well. He also got along well in Chu State. The King of Chu praised him as a great talent. The court called him back to the capital many times. King Zhu Zhen of Chu used various excuses to shirk it. Obviously, he was not ready to let Yang go. Pu!"
Speaking of which, Zhu Gaoxu himself found it interesting.
The three Yang Xianxiangs who are famous in history still have two brushes.
Yang Shiqi conquered seven countries in Nanyang and abruptly named him "Nanyang Prime Minister".
Yang Rongyuan traveled to the bitter cold land of Lingbei, washed away all the troubles, regained himself, and played with the Mongolian tribes at the palm of his hand.
Yang Puze plowed the Jilong Mountain in Penghu with great maturity, and built a Dongkun Navy in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court. According to Jin Zhong, the old man boasted, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net If this Dongkun Navy is equipped with the same The warship equipment is comparable to Zheng He's navy!
Thinking of the navy, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Shiqi.
"Yang Pu built a Dongkun navy in Chu State, whose combat power was second only to Zheng He's navy."
"Husky, you are blessed with a unique land in Nanyang. Have you made arrangements with the Navy?"
Hearing this, Yang Shiqi smiled confidently.
"My Nanyang Navy may not be as good as Zheng He's Navy, but it shouldn't be a problem to defeat Yang Pu's Dongkun Navy!"
"Hahaha..." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing loudly, pointing at Yang Shiqi and laughing and scolding: "Husky, Husky, you have been practicing in Nanyang for three years. Not only has your reputation become bigger, but your tone has also become louder!"
"This is confidence." Yang Shiqi nodded lightly, "His Royal Highness, is there any way to provide some of the equipment of Zheng He Navy to the Nanyang Navy..."
"Oh, you want to rebel?"
Before Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he was frightened by what Prince Han said and swallowed back the rest of the sentence.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled lazily and said: "Husky, with your wisdom, you shouldn't say such things."
"Lao San asked you to ask for help, right? Tell Lao San to set up his own research institute and train craftsmen!"
"The imperial court will never allow the naval combat power of overseas vassals to exceed that of Zheng He's navy. You also understand the reason."
"Shipbuilding craftsmanship, large-scale warships, design drawings, and even top craftsmen, these will be included in the contraband list, and no one is strictly prohibited from taking them away from the Ming Dynasty without permission!"
"Husky, do you understand now why I started training craftsmen a few years ago?"
When Yang Shiqi heard this, he sighed with sincerity.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is far-sighted and the scholars admire him!"
