Since the Ming Dynasty banned the sea, the entire Ming Dynasty has become less closely connected with the world. In the past two years, it has dealt with the Zhou Dynasty more, but after all, it does not know much about some things in the outside world.

The Zhou Dynasty was very powerful, but to what extent most people did not know.

At this time, in addition to handling the daily affairs of the court, the court officials mainly focused on their personal artistic accomplishments such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in their spare time. Few people knew about some situations abroad.

Even if they understand it, it is only superficial, and all they get are exaggerated and fantasy things that are not credible. Therefore, until now, most officials do not have a clear idea of ​​the current territory and overseas maps of the Ming Dynasty.

And when Mao Fengyi hung this huge map behind the main hall, she saw that the proud Ming Dynasty was actually just an inconspicuous part of the map. This shocked everyone who had always believed that the Ming Dynasty was the most important part of the world.

Trembling feelings.

It turns out that the world is so big!

It turns out that the Ming Dynasty also became the arrogant Yelang Kingdom!

After the scene was quiet for a moment, Yang Tinghe suddenly said: "Although the outer territory is vast, how much land is suitable for our Ming Dynasty farming? The north is barren and has endured cold winters for a long time. Apart from grazing, there is really no benefit. The south is humid,

The miasma is dense, poisonous insects are everywhere, the path is difficult to find, the sea is stormy and the waves are high, and sea monsters appear. It is very dangerous and it is not a good place."

He looked at Yang Xingzhou, and then turned his attention to the map: "We will go to the country tomorrow, and we will have abundant resources and people. We don't ask for help from outside, so why bother to peek at these foreign lands? If we really form an alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty, then the troops and horses will be dispatched, and the national treasury will

The situation is tight, the people are wasted and the money is wasted. How can your majesty, a benevolent and righteous king like Yao and Shun, endure the loss of life? In my opinion, we can just close the door and take care of our own affairs. It is better not to engage in unjust wars."

Yang Xingzhou: "..."

He was too lazy to smile, too lazy to pay attention to Yang Tinghe. As the king of a country and the emperor of overseas countries, their status was not equal. If they really wanted to talk, they would have to talk to Zhu Houzhao. Emperor to emperor, minister to minister, this is the real relationship.

The way of etiquette.

However, those who came to the Ming Dynasty before were all small foreign countries, and no real king of a big country came to visit. As a result, the court was at a loss as to how to deal with the situation, so it resorted to the same method of treating small foreign countries. Yang Tinghe and Mao Fengyi argued with each other.

Okay, it would be inappropriate to ask Yang Xingzhou for advice.

Seeing that Yang Xingzhou turned a blind eye to him, Yang Tinghe was angry at first, and then realized: "This person is the king of Zhou Dynasty. I... really shouldn't speak to him."

While he was hesitating, he heard Zhu Houzhao shout: "It turns out there is such a big territory outside! Brother Yang, it is possible for the two countries to form an alliance, but as for dividing the world into two, it remains to be discussed. Today we will only talk about family affairs, not national affairs."

Yang Tinghe was stunned: "The Holy Emperor today is the most restless and often causes things that make people laugh or cry. Today's words are quite appropriate!"

When Zhu Houzhao spoke, Mao Fengyi said no more, put the map away again, and saluted Zhu Houzhao: "This map was drawn by Master Yu Chengya, the great master Kanyu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it will be given to your country as a national gift today."

, I hope that our two families will help each other and form an alliance forever!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled at Yang Xingzhou and said: "I accepted the things. Thank you Brother Yang for your kindness. I will hang this map in the palace in the future and look at it every day. The territory is so vast, I have only seen it from ancient books. Today is the first time.

I have such a clear understanding for once, and this map is so detailed. Have you, the Zhou people, ever been to these places?"

Yang Xingzhou smiled and said: "I have been to some places, and some have not been, but I have communicated with businessmen from these countries, and some of the maps were provided by them."

Zhu Houzhao praised: "This is already amazing!"

While the two were talking, the dancers went up to the hall and sang and danced in the hall. The music was so ecstatic that it was not until an hour later that the banquet ended. Zhu Houzhao stood up and smiled at Yang Xingzhou: "Brother Yang, I am building something outside the palace."

I have built a palace to raise rare birds and beasts donated from various places. If you are interested, can you go to the Leopard Room with me for a tour?"

When he got up, the eunuch who was just now was no longer around. Instead, he was accompanied by a middle-aged Confucian scholar. This Confucian scholar was wearing a third-grade official uniform. He was about forty years old. He had a short beard and clear eyes.

, after arriving at the main hall, walking and stopping, the whole person is like a green bamboo shoot out of the water, refreshing and refreshing, not in the world, but in harmony with the light and dust, not transcending the world.

The moment this person entered the hall, Yang Xingzhou was alerted. He had been practicing in the small world for more than a hundred years, and his skills were already unfathomable. He thought that his cultivation was enough to roam this world without any hindrance.

No one can stop him, but after seeing the middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him, Yang Xingzhou suddenly felt a little afraid.

This kind of fear is not simply fear, but the feeling of nervousness and excitement when facing an opponent that threatens oneself. This kind of feeling has not been encountered by Yang Xingzhou for many years.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao invited him to visit the Leopard Room. Yang Xingzhou did not refuse. He stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu's Leopard Room is known to the world. I have been famous for a long time, so I am going to take a look."

Having said this, he glanced at the Confucian scholar next to Zhu Houzhao and asked, "What do you call this gentleman?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "This is Mr. Yangming, the teacher I have practiced with recently. My teacher knows astronomy and geography, is proficient in bow and horse, and is also very good at military tactics. I have never admired him since I was a child."

Among several people, Mr. Yangming is the first one I admire, and the second one is Brother Yang."

Yang Xingzhou was startled. He opened his eyes and looked at the Confucian scholar opposite him. He saw the Confucian scholar in front of him nodded slightly to him and said with a smile: "I have met Wang Shouren, the lower official."

Yang Xingzhou didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I didn't expect Mr. Yangming to be here. No wonder he is so different. I have heard about Mr. Yang's name for a long time. When I saw him today, the rumors turned out to be true."

Wang Yangming was greatly surprised. He didn't know why Yang Xingzhou was so polite to him, and said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I'm going to break Wang." King Yang traveled overseas and established the Great Zhou Dynasty in a few years, leveling the south and the north, and outflanking the Central Plains.

, this kind of handwriting is truly unprecedented, and Yang Ming sincerely admires it."

The Zhou Dynasty has now conquered the Tatars, conquered Goryeo, destroyed the Northeast, occupied the southern countries, and surrounded almost all of the Ming Dynasty from sea to land. With such luck, it signed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Ming Dynasty.

, there will definitely be extremely violent conflicts in the future, and naturally such things cannot be hidden from Wang Yangming's eyes. This sentence is half teasing, half sincere admiration.

This man is a genius, and there are not many people in the world who can admire him. However, Yang Xingzhou went out of the martial arts world, killed Japanese pirates, dominated the East China Sea, swept through Southeast Asia, established the Great Zhou Dynasty, and built a huge empire in a short period of time.

Empire, no matter who you are, you have to admire Yang Xingzhou greatly. Even Wang Yangming, who is called a saint of his generation, admires Yang Xingzhou greatly and feels inferior to him.

At this time, Wang Yangming had just put down the rebellion of Prince Ning. Although the other eunuchs Liu Jin and others secretly made trouble, they still did not hinder his military achievements. He came to the capital easily and met Emperor Zhengde. After several discussions, he unexpectedly

He became the teacher of Emperor Zhengde and was responsible for teaching Zhu Houzhao Qi training methods and military strategies, as well as some strategies for governing the country.

Zhu Houzhao's move to worship Wang Yangming as his teacher aroused civil and military opposition from the Manchu Dynasty, and many people even deliberately tried to convict Wang Yangming. However, Wang Yangming easily resolved the situation and stayed with Zhu Houzhao, teaching him what he had learned throughout his life.

This man was unparalleled in martial arts and wisdom, and he had his own unique insights into running the country and the army. Zhu Houzhao only spent a few days with him, and he sincerely worshiped him as his teacher. He completely ignored the objections of everyone in the court and just went with him.

Even the eunuch Liu Jin's dissuasion could not shake his determination to become a disciple. This time he welcomed Yang Xingzhou and brought Wang Yangming with him.

As soon as everyone left the palace, Zhu Houzhao invited Yang Xingzhou to get on his carriage. When the carriage reached the long street and was surrounded by the imperial guards and moved forward slowly, Zhu Houzhao's originally happy face slowly calmed down and looked at Yang Xingzhou.

: "Brother Yang, what is your motive in the Zhou Dynasty for outflanking my Ming Dynasty?"
