As Liu Bowen expected, His Highness of the Liao King had actually woken up three days later, and the next night, Lan Xian'er took him to take a shower.

If you don’t wake up, you will have to be congested for too long, which will lead to blood vessels burst and death.

Of course, there may be a long recovery period in the future. All knee pillows and facial cleansers must be arranged. No matter how uninformed Lan Xian'er is, Zhu Qi is so obviously flirting with him. How can he not know what His Highness the King of Liao mean?

What's more, when he encountered a storm before, when His Highness of the Liao King heard that he fell into the water, he immediately jumped into the sea to rescue him. Although it was just a misfortune, Lan Xian'er really saw that scene of his life-losingness...

Zhu Qi took this opportunity to get close to Lan Xian'er's concern with a little trick. Looking at the beauty master holding a bowl in front of him and feeding him porridge spoonfuls of porridge, there was no need to mention that sense of accomplishment.

But the good mood didn't last long, and Zhu Qi received bad news!

The sea channel has been cleared, so we naturally have to hurry up and write a good news and send it back to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Qi was unconscious because he was unconscious, so this matter was naturally the task of deputy general Yan Wang Zhu Di. Zhu Qiguang thought about the good news that Zhu Di wrote, and he knew it would be finished.

Sure enough, Zhu Di was caught and asked, and Zhu Di was flirting with a fancy way. He started inventing a new warship, and then used clever tricks to deliberately make people surrender, and used abundant supplies to lure Liu Yiru's army to take the initiative to fight. Then, he calmly commanded and took charge of the central army in the Battle of the Bohai Sea, and finally won a great victory.

That's all, but in the end he even praised the storm!

What to say, the soldiers are now rumoring that the storm was the Dragon King of Bohai used his spells, and His Highness, as Zhu Yuanzhang's son, was also the dragon son and grandson.

The Dragon King of Bohai was ungrateful and wanted to help Baoyuan. As a dragon son, Zhu Qi jumped into the Bohai Sea and killed the Dragon King of Bohai directly, and replaced it with a Dragon King of Bohai who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty!

When Zhu Qi heard this, everyone was stunned and hesitated and said: "You, how could you talk so nonsense!"

Zhu Di also blinked his eyes and leaned over and said, "Don't worry, third brother, I naturally reported it in the form of hearing, but with our father's personality, this great opportunity is naturally impossible to miss. Even if it is hearing, our father can make it true. At that time, your contribution will definitely be indispensable!"

Zhu Qi wanted to let Zhu Di die physically immediately, but the other party was the future Emperor Yongle after all, so he could only look at Zhu Di who was talking nonsense in a daze, and could not say a word.

That night, Zhu Qi had a nightmare. Many years later, Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign with the strength of Yan in Beiping.

Then he fought all the way to Yingtian Prefecture, and he was also held hostage by Zhu Di to Yingtian Prefecture, but when Zhu Di captured the gate of Yingtian Prefecture.

After entering the palace, Zhu Di wiped the blood from his face in a fire and bowed to himself and said:

"Third brother, after so many years, I finally did it. This throne belongs to yours! Please ask the third brother to ascend the throne and become emperor!"

Then Zhu Qi woke up in fear and was covered in cold sweat when he woke up. Fortunately, Lan Xian'er was with him. There was no way. Who told Liu Bowen to say it would take three days, and Lan Xian'er dared not interrupt at will.

The poor His Highness of the Liao King was crying silently for the miserable future, while hugging Lan Xian'er beside him tightly. The world is in a cold state, and only Nako is still a little warm...

—————

Zhu Di wrote this article himself, and it can be said that the whole article was about helping Zhu Qi boasting about his military achievements and sent it to Yingtian Mansion.

Nahachu, who was closer, obtained information at the first time. At the beginning, Nahachu sneered at the fact that Liu Yi's fleet was almost wiped out, thinking that it was fake news and fake news created by the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty!

He was tricked by the movements of the Ming army before, but later he simply acted as a turtle and put his head in a group to defend. He turned a deaf ear to the news of the Ming army coming here today and wherever tomorrow.

Anyway, my defensive posture is ready. Regardless of whether you really want to come out of seclusion and hit me, you can call me if you have the ability.

Facts have proved that the Ming army has never intended to attack from the gates. Even Nahachu proudly boasted to the left and right: "Is this the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty just like this!"

But before he could whisper these words for two days, Nahachu got Liu Yi's defeat and the entire army was wiped out. He was captured. However, after he sent him to quickly find Liu Yi to confirm the information, Nahachu only realized that this was true.

The Liao king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qi, really took the original Ming Navy to defeat Liu Yi's fleet in just two or three months?

Naha clearly remembers that Liu Yi's fleet has twice the number of ships and the organization of the Ming fleet, right? How can he win this? Isn't this naval battle comparable to warships?

Nahachu felt a chill. Zhu Qi, the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty, was so terrifying!

But the most important thing is that once the Ming Dynasty controls the sea route, it will not be good news for Naha. In the past, the sea route was under the control of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the coastal areas were safe. Now that it is under the control of the Ming Dynasty, it will be easy to attack and defend!

It was indeed as Nahacha thought, when he reported the situation in Liaodong to the Yuan Prime Minister Wang Baobao, he received a few days from Wang Baobao's military order, ordering him to rest the army, make good defense, and not to attack rashly.

This time, Nahachu obeyed the orders of Prime Minister Wang Baobao. What if he didn't listen?

The Liao King of the Ming Dynasty is really a bit weird. You must strengthen your attention twelve points, but you must not be able to take advantage of the Liao King!

On the side of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qi's mission to come to Peking was successfully completed.

Not only did he successfully scare Nahachu and prevent him from taking any action against the tribes that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but he also completely cleared the sea route. At this time, there was no naval fleet on the Bohai Sea that could compete with the Ming Dynasty.

So half a year later, in October of the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Qi was about to set off and return to Yingtian Mansion to report his life.

However, before going back, Zhu Qi found Wang Chuanqi for two things.

There are only two things to do. First, I put a rough chart of Wang Zhiqi. At least Wang Zhiqi looks like a chart.

In fact, this is not a nautical chart at all, but a rough map of the coastlines of East Asia, including the so-called Siberian region, and North America drawn by Zhu Qi.

Zhu Qi was purely based on his proficiency in drawing maps and practicing professionalism in the past. If you want to talk about details, there was nothing in this picture.

There are no specific equal-scale lengths, and all kinds of islands that can be replenished. However, for the Ming people who didn't necessarily know where Sakhalin Island was at this time, it was really a chart that subverted their imagination.

The second thing is to ask Wang Chuanqi to find a new continent according to the "natural chart" he drew!

Zhu Qi pointed to the map and said:

"After going around the Goryeo Peninsula, we continued to walk north along the coastline. At this time, we went north in Changbai Mountain. Although it was the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, many of the tribes were Jurchen tribes, and they should call themselves descendants of the Jin people.

They also have a feud with the Mongol Yuan. As long as they are careful, they can still get supplies from them, as long as they are not discovered by the Yuan people.

The colder the north it gets, and in July and August it is likely that the sea will freeze, and of course it may not.

If the sea surface freezes, it is not bad news. You will start sailing eastward directly along the edge of the ice. During this period, you may not encounter any islands for a long time, but believe me, as long as you keep walking eastward, you will soon see the new coastline!

At this time, you are walking south along the coastline. If you see a large island that is endless, make detailed nautical charts along the way, and go as far as you can. Don’t force yourself. If you can’t hold on, just return according to the same route.

As long as you can discover the new world I have drawn, that is the greatest credit!”

Wang Chuanqi was stunned when he heard this. The Yuan Dynasty was vast and even reached an unprecedented vast ice field to the north. Wang Chuanqi knew about it, but he did not expect that His Highness, the prince who lived in the south, could draw the location and coastline of Sakhalin Island so accurately.

At least as far as this chart is concerned, Wang Chuanqi is still very familiar with the part of Sakhalin Island. After all, he was once a pirate who had been traversing the sea for decades, so he was naturally more knowledgeable than ordinary people.

But Wang Chuanqi didn't know what was going north, but His Highness the King of Liao actually knew that not only that, even His Highness the King of Liao could know about the fact that there was an unknown continent to the east!

He once heard that in ancient times, Qin Shihuang sent a special person to sea to search east for the legendary immortal island. Could it be that the continent painted by His Highness the King of Liao was what Qin Shihuang was looking for in ancient times?

I often hear others say that His Highness, the King of Liao, descends to earth, and such a skill of predicting the unknown is really the star of the earth?

Wang Chuanqi was so impressed that he was overwhelmed, but Zhu Qi did not care and was not at all complacent.

He handed over the mission of discovering the new world to Wang Chuanqi, which was nothing more than that Wang Chuanqi's sailing experience was considered the richest person at present in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, after being a pirate for so many years, the spirit of adventure is absolutely nothing to say.

The details of the matter are naturally mentioned, such as bringing enough vegetables and fruits, and giving full play to the Chinese's nature of farming, and growing orders on the boat if you have nothing to do.

In fact, this is nonsense, because the Chinese ocean-going fleet is basically unfamiliar with scurvy. Take Zheng He's voyage to the West as an example. There are records that they would bring beans before voyage, soak bean sprouts on the ship to eat, and there are also records of various vegetable plantings.

In addition, Chinese people like to drink tea, and every time they go overseas, they carry a lot of tea leaves.

A cup of tea every day perfectly solves the required vitamin C supplements, and naturally there will be no scurvy.

In addition to these details, the most important thing is to distinguish the direction at sea.

Zhu Qi originally wanted to build a sextant, but the sextant was too complicated, and the concept of longitude and longitude was explained clearly to Wang Chuanqi. It was not a matter of one or two days. Instead, it was necessary to calculate the angles of various celestial bodies based on the sextant to obtain the latitude and longitude, which involved a lot of mathematical problems.

This cannot be learned overnight. After the invention of the sextant, you have no basic knowledge reserves for mathematics and astronomy, so you really can't play with sextant.

Fortunately, the Chinese have their own set of wisdom. As one of China's four great inventions, the compass has been used in navigation for a long time. However, the compass can only guide the direction and cannot find out its location in detail. Therefore, it is still necessary to popularize the sextant in maritime affairs in the future.

In fact, Zhu Qi was always curious about how the compass, which had to be effective on the flat ground, played a role on the swaying ships. Until he saw that there was a kind of inscription iron ball with compass placed on the sea ships of the Ming Fleet. No matter how this inscription iron ball turned, the pallet at the center would remain level due to gravity.

This thing has another name, called "bedding incense burner". It can be used to burn incense in the palace and wealthy families so that the incense ash will not be sprinkled out and dirty the bedding in the room.

By the way, this invention has been ahead of the Western "Changpingjie" for four or five hundred years.

What Zhu Qizhi cares about the affairs of the New World naturally comes from traveling through the overall situation of the Party and discovering the wealth and benefits brought by the New World, which is definitely not something that ordinary language can describe.

A large amount of raw materials, a homeless land, the gold and wealth of the New World, and the broadening horizons that have emerged, stimulated the rapid development of science, and directly installed high-speed engines to the West, which was lagging behind for thousands of years.

That is, from the Age of Discovery, the Western world began to catch up quickly, and the East began to gradually lose its leading position.

As mentioned earlier, in the future world, whoever can control the sea can control the world!

As for what China's geographical environment is not suitable for discovering the new continent of the Americas, because the ocean currents are north-south, and even if they are east-west, most of them are from east-west. Therefore, it is extremely difficult and dangerous to cross the Pacific Ocean in a general way from China.

It is very easy to sail from the Americas to Asia, because most of the ocean currents are from the Americas to Asia, and following the ocean currents is really labor-saving.

From the ancient times when Qin Shihuang went to the sea to search for Penglai Immortal Island, to the eight times when Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty traveled to Japan, the losses were heavy five times, and the historical records, various ships and people were destroyed and killed when they went to the sea east, etc., it was all because of the ocean currents.

After all, in ancient times, sailing out of the sea was actually "drifting" to a certain extent. The current technology is simply unplayable without ocean currents and wind power.

"Records of Buddha's Kingdom" vividly describes the suffering of sailing on the sea at that time: "The sea is boundless, and I don't know anything, but I only look forward to the sun, moon, and stars. If it is rainy, it is impossible to go away by the wind. But I see the big waves fighting each other, and the fire is shook..."

So it’s not a big mistake for Chinese people not to like going to sea and ocean, because in this kind of ocean current environment, as long as you go to sea and ocean, you’re really gambled for your life.

Most Chinese people go to sea, so they can only go east. Going east is to go to death against the current, which is really harder than finding a new route for Gobrunn. Even the adventurous people who have the spirit of adventurousness will be sent to the sea with their eyes closed, and they should be given clean.

After all, there is only one in the Mediterranean. The Western world of marine culture has only been around for thousands of years. Isn’t it that Columbus has only appeared?

As for why you said why you didn't go south? During the Ming Dynasty, going south to the Luzon Islands and Indonesian Islands was no longer a new thing. Those island countries are now all tribute countries of the Ming Dynasty. They have long been able to understand the sea routes, and trade between countries is also very frequent.

So Zhu Qicai asked Wang Zhiqi to sail along the coastline to explore. When he encountered a place where the ocean was frozen and sailed eastward, it would be relatively safer. After all, along the coastline, it would always be the safest route.

As for, isn’t there any way to sail quickly to America?

In fact, there are some. Starting from the east coast of Japan and heading north, the warm current "black tide" along the eastern side of Japan in the northern Pacific Ocean can send ships all the way to the North American coast, Humboldt current from north to south, and then take ships to Mexico and Peru.

If you want to sail from the Americas, you will drift all the way to the near the Indonesian archipelago, which will form a closed-loop route.

However, this may have to be conquered Nanyang and Japan before a closed-loop route can be formed. Once the route is formed, the wealth and resources of the entire world are all in the Ming Dynasty's pocket. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Is the West considered a ball?

In a word, Zhu Qi will never sit idly by and watch the repeat of history. The era of Chinese people living in the huge Pacific Ocean but not exploring and conquering will be swept into the garbage dump from today!
