Although I don’t know why, this is also good news for Zhu Qi.

Anyway, the America map in Zhu Qi's hand can be used. As long as Wang Chuanqi has enough time, he can even circle the entire America with the America map drawn by Zhu Qi.

When Wang Zhiqi said that on the other side of the sea, there were other people living on the continent called America.

The other civil and military generals also started to ask questions one by one, and they were obviously very interested.

Wang Xuanqi also talked about the situation of the indigenous people on the American continent, who were not the ethnic groups that the Chinese knew.

They would put their feathers on their heads and wear weird costumes.

Wang Chuanqi naturally couldn't understand what he said, but although the language could not be communicated, the actions were still understandable.

Moreover, those people did not have any hostility towards Wang Zhiqi's group. When they met on the coastline, those people enthusiastically took out food and water to entertain Wang Zhiqi and the others.

Zhu Qi was not surprised. After all, the Native Americans were indeed not aggressive, and the Indian hospitality was also well-known.

This shows how bloody and cruel the robbers in the West are.

When it comes to an adventure trip to America, Wang Xuanqi can talk about three days and three nights, and it is endless.

However, there is no need to investigate the details specifically, and Zhu Qi doesn't have that time either.

Zhu Qi then said to Wang Chuanqi:

"General Wang's return this time also brought such important information. The most important thing was to bring corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes to me. This is the greatest contribution.

This king will definitely report it to the court as soon as possible and let the court reward General Wang heavily.

However, General Wang may still need to continue leading the navy out to explore the route. General Wang, be mentally prepared."

After hearing this, Wang Chuanqi looked overjoyed.

Of course, what he was happy about was not just His Highness the King of Liao who helped him take credit.

Wang Chuanqi was afraid that he would not have the chance to go out to explore new routes. He grew up on the sea and has always been a pirate.

It can be said that Wang Chuanqi was the most adventurous person in the entire Ming Dynasty. Now he can find the most maritime adventurer and the pioneer who dares to explore new routes.

Wang Chuanqi naturally didn't want to miss such an opportunity, but he had been resigned from the position of Navy Commander by the court.

Now he is just a general in the tariffs, but he is afraid that he will not have the chance to go out.

Now that he heard what His Highness the King of Liao said, Wang Chuanqi knew that he would soon have the opportunity to go out to explore a new route, he was naturally very happy, so he quickly knelt down and thanked him.

Zhu Qi also shook his hand, so that Wang Chuanqi would not have to be too polite, and then he talked about another thing.

That is the matter of changing all of Wang Xuanqi's fleet to soft sailboats.

The ships of the Ming Dynasty were not bad, but hard sailing boats were suitable for sailing inland and lakes or along the coast.

But if it involves ocean sailing, it is definitely a soft sailing boat that is more suitable.

For a long time in the future, the ocean will be filled with soft sailboats.

So as a pioneer, Wang Xuanqi must learn how to manipulate the sailboat.

The teachers have been found. Wang Chuanqi has nearly 300 sailors under him, and these people are of course the first batch of students.

Zhu Qi plans to more than double the size of the Fourth Ocean Fleet and has ordered craftsmen to build new ships, and the sailors naturally have to recruit more sailors again.

According to Zhu Qi's idea, at least thousands of people would go out for a sailing adventure this time.

Such a number is not only large in scale, but also reflects the strong national strength of our Ming Dynasty, but also a force for self-protection.

Although the indigenous Indians on the American continent were very friendly, it is difficult to ensure that one or two tribes were tempted and attacked the Ming Dynasty navy, right?

If even the power to protect oneself is not enough, losing these excellent sailors will definitely be an unbearable loss for Zhu Qi and the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, this fourth maritime adventure has another most important task, which is to not only go out to find seeds, but also establish connections with the indigenous peoples and small countries outside.

If possible, it would be best for them to send personnel to the Ming Dynasty to act as envoys.

What is the most famous thing about the Ming Dynasty? Isn’t it the tribute system?

Although many people have had great controversy and criticism of the tribute system in history, saying that the tribute system consumes national strength and has no practical effect.

But in fact, looking at history, you will find that this tribute system is not as unbearable as others say.

First of all, the relationship between the tribute state and the Ming Dynasty is the clan relationship.

In other words, if you pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty, then your territory is our Ming Dynasty territory.

It’s just that we, the Ming Dynasty, do not send troops to garrison. You are the administrative official appointed by our Ming Emperor himself and temporarily manage that land.

At least it is true that this is nominally, so until now, our country actually has the right to claim legal principles for Ryukyu.

But when to use this publicity right, and whether or not, is another matter.

In addition to being able to obtain claim rights by relying on the relationship between tribute countries, the most important thing is to make the world come true.

The hearts of the people are a difficult problem. Since ancient times, every government has wanted to gather the hearts of its own people.

How to gather people's hearts involves propaganda and public opinion, although there was no detailed direction for public opinion propaganda research in ancient times.

But every court and government also knows that foreign military merits are definitely a major means to win over the hearts of the people.

The tribute system can expand its territory and sphere of influence overseas without spending a soldier.

Wherever we went to the Ming Dynasty, as long as we reported that we were the Ming Dynasty, no one of the tribute countries was respectful and would not dare to offend them at all.

It’s like you are taking your Chinese passport outside now. Whenever there is war there, you will set up a set of national flags and the passport will illuminate.

I guarantee that no one on both sides dares to treat you, did you suddenly become patriotic?

This is the manifestation of the increase in the self-esteem and centripetal force of the people after the country is strong.

In addition, this tribute can also use the safest and fastest way to raise the banner of a camp.

Only by allowing the Ming Dynasty to have more supporters and supporters can we control the formulation of international regulations.

Look at the beautiful country now, it is already very strong and has been the only superpower for a long time.

But why are there still fire everywhere, win over allies and set up bases everywhere?

Isn't it just to continue to be his boss in the global system and to become the maker of its laws and regulations.

Therefore, for any reason, the Ming Dynasty's tribute system must be retained and carried forward.

To take a step back, our Ming Dynasty's national strength has not yet been able to control Central America, but we first took Zhou America's countries as tribute countries.

If a Western country develops the Age of Discovery, arrives in Central American countries and then wants to invade.

When they saw this Central American country, they actually had the certificate of the Ming Dynasty's tribute country.

Good guy, what country is Daming? It is the strongest country in the world!

If these Western countries want to think about the animals in Central America, they have to think carefully.

If we go further and turn the tribute system into an unbreakable military alliance, it is like the Han Dynasty that won over the attacks of the Western Regions against the Huns.

Then this is extraordinary. Think about it, the entire East Asia and even Central Asia are joining the group.

If the Ming Dynasty commanded everyone to fight wherever they were, they would fight together, and such a military alliance would be invincible.

Of course, it will definitely not be a matter of overnight development.

Zhu Qi didn't think so much, but wanted to carry forward the tribute system. The main idea was that if there were many tribute countries, Zhu Yuanzhang would be happy to see.

Zhu Qi wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to put more effort into exploring the American continent.

The monarch and ministers drank together, and this talk ended the next morning.

Zhu Qi was also very sleepy and slept until the afternoon before he was shouted.

The reason for shouting was not the other way. It turned out that this envoy of Goryeo had arrived.

Zhu Qi was shocked when he heard such news in a daze.

Goryeo only heard news that it had sent envoys to Liaoyang some time ago, but it was unexpected that it had arrived in Liaoyang so soon.

You know, the river is very far away from Liaoyang, and the distance is nearly a thousand miles away. Even if it is 800 miles, it will not reach Liaoyang so quickly.

It is conceivable how urgent this Goryeo envoy was, and he wanted to see himself discussing the land in Liaodong as soon as possible.

However, Zhu Qi did not intend to meet the envoy so soon. He had originally planned to drag down this matter slowly.

He dragged it all the way to the court to give a definite plan, and most of them sent reinforcements to Liaodong to guard the defense line.

So Zhu Qi didn't plan to get up directly, so he said that he had invited General Wang Chuanqi yesterday, and now he is still sleeping in the Liao Palace.

After hearing what His Highness the King of Liao said, the servant nodded and went down.

At this time, it was not someone else who visited Liaodong, but Li Chengxu, who was sent to the Ming Dynasty to propose marriage by the King of Goryeo last time.

This Li Chengxu is Li Chenggui's cousin. As for who Li Chenggui is, there is no need to say more. North Korea's founding emperor, North Korea's Taizu.

It can be said that Lee Sung-gui is the most famous general in Korea's Goryeo in this era.

The invincible Jurchens in the world will be defeated by Li Chenggui.

But no matter how powerful Li Chenggui is, compared with the dazzling generals such as Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Xu Da and other in the Ming Dynasty, it is still dull.

Pulling Li Chenggui here is probably equivalent to Jack Ma’s level!
