Zheng He, the protagonist of the Seven Western Oceans, stood in front of Chu Tian, and Chu Tian was in awe.

If Zheng He's era had the idea of establishing colonies, rather than a tributary system, perhaps it would have been Zheng He who started the Age of Discovery.

In "Lord", Zheng He's position seems to be that of a naval commander, like Drake in England, Columbus in Italy, and the Redbeard brothers in Ottoman, who belong to the seafaring heroes.

Chu Tian immediately looked at Zheng He's abilities to facilitate his positioning.

Restriction - Acceleration effect conflict, i.e. it cannot be stacked with general's traits and treasures to accelerate the effect)

……

Chu Tian was somewhat surprised when he saw Zheng He's amazing ability.

Zheng He actually has the exclusive characteristics of the SSS class, and it is also a nautical characteristic.

Zheng He's best at dealing with ...... Southeast Asian civilizations?

It is said that when Zheng He made seven trips to the West, he often bullied the countries of Southeast Asia, regarded them as vassal states, and canonized the king in the name of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He made seven trips to the West, and occasionally exterminated pirates in Southeast Asia in addition to trade, but in fact, Zheng He's ability to fight was not bad.

Unlike the eunuchs who plagued the government and served as the supervisor of the army and commanded chaos, Zheng He's ability and contribution made him one of the few positive figures among the eunuchs.

At present, Chutian has Kaodiliya, who suppressed the Indian Peninsula, Queen Himiko who governed Dongying, and Zheng He, who had a suppressive effect on Southeast Asian civilization.

At present, these legendary characters have not yet exerted their maximum value, but in the future, with the existence of this group of legendary characters, it will be much less difficult to conquer the Indian Peninsula, the four islands of Dongying, and Southeast Asia.

Zheng He should be one of the top naval generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although only with Zheng He, Chu Tian could already roughly guess that different sailor generals would focus on different abilities.

Zheng He is good at sea navigation, Zhou Yu is good at fire attack, and Zheng Chenggong is good at firearms.

One of the interesting things about "Lord" is that although there are thousands of generals, most of them can find some bright spots that distinguish them from other generals.

Zheng He also brought his own special treasure "Zheng He's Navigation Chart".

The effect of "Zheng He's Navigation Chart" is equivalent to a weakened version of the SSS-class trait "Seven Voyages to the West".

Although the artifact is not as effective as the hero trait, it can be passed down forever and is worth as much as an SSS-tier trait.

Recruit Zheng He also brought his own treasures, and this time he earned blood.

It's a pity that Zheng He, as a eunuch of the Three Treasures, has no descendants, otherwise it may be possible to give birth to a second seafaring hero.

The so-called dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, the golden family of Temujin, and the Jiangdong family of Sun Jian all prove the importance of genes.

"The minister holds this thing, it has no effect, and I am willing to present it to the lord."

Zheng He presented the "Zheng He's Navigation Chart" to Chutian.

For Zheng He, who has SSS-class nautical characteristics, "Zheng He's Nautical Chart" is really useless, and the sailing acceleration effect also conflicts with his characteristics.

Obviously, Zheng He's Navigation Chart would be more useful if it was used by other navigators.

Chu Tian took this treasure and found that the original name of "Zheng He's Navigation Chart" was "From the Treasure Shipyard to the Water from Longjiang Pass to the Foreign Continents......

Chu Tian originally complained that the names of people in the West were long enough, but he found that his ancestors sometimes made long names.

The "Zheng He's Navigation Chart" can only trigger the effect when traveling on the Maritime Silk Road, which means that it has no effect yet.

So Chutian planned to send the "Zheng He's Navigation Chart" to his treasure house.

Chu Tian's treasure trove has hoarded a lot of good things.

"Qi Min Technique", "Taiping Technique", "Wei Gongzi Art of War", "Qingming Riverside Map", as well as the construction drawings of miracles such as the Great Wall, Genyue, and Weiyang Palace......

Any treasure is worth a fortune.

Chutian also has the cadres Mo Ye and Chixiao Sword, and the famous horse is peerless, and Sa Lu Zi.

As soon as there were many treasures, Chu Tian didn't care much about it.

"The Fubo Legion captured Ganghwa Island in Goryeo, and is currently retreating to Dongnae County, Qingzhou to rest, and you go to the station of the Fubo Legion in Dongnae County."

Since Zheng He is on land, the commander value will drop by 10 points, and the bonus will basically have an effect on the fleet, so Chu Tian sent him to Donglai County.

Dongnae County was one of the camps of the Fubo Legion.

Zheng He soon traveled to Donglai County and joined the Fubo Army.

"Maybe it's time to expand the Fubo Legion into an army with five fleets."

Chu Tian elevated the Fubo Army to the same status as the Central Plains Army, the Western Liang Army, and the Huainan Army.

Then, Zheng He, Yu Yunwen, Zheng Zhilong, Li Sunsin, and Xu Sheng each led a fleet and divided powers and checks and balances.

The estimated size of the Fubo Army was 300,000 sailors, with an average of 60,000 men per fleet and about 500 ships.

After deciding on the expansion plan of the Fubo Army, Chu Tian checked the list of items that could be exchanged.

The items that can be exchanged for this time in the national war are different from the past.

National Wars usually feature special items that cannot be obtained in the Overworld, and each item is worth a fortune.

"Legion Source Summoning Order?"

Chu Tian saw an amazing prop.

[Name]: Legion Source Summoning Order

[Level]: Special items

[Effect]: You can summon the corresponding source of troops for the legion, a total of 20,000 points, summon 1-4 troops, and consume 1 point; Summon tier 5-6 troops, costing 2 points; Summons a Tier 7 class, costing 4 points; Summons an 8th tier class, costing 8 points; Summons a Tier 9 class, costing 16 points; Summon a tier 10 class and cost 32 points. When all points are consumed, the item disappears.

[Points required]: 10,000 points

[Holding limit]: 99 pieces

Chu Tian read the introduction of the "Legion Soldier Source Summoning Order" and immediately understood that the value of this prop was not trivial.

At present, the Knights of the Round Table, the French Protectorate, and the Hussite Legion of the Kingdom of Bohemia are not fully staffed, because Chutian lacks suitable troops, and sometimes needs to buy people from Europe.

However, if you have the "Legion Source Summoning Order", you can recruit special classes such as the Knights of the Round Table and the French Protectorate in your own territory.

Not only that, but the Roman eagle flag, which had been dusted in the warehouse for a long time, could finally be used.

For lords with alien generals, this is a god-level item to replenish the strength of alien generals.

The downside of this prop is that it is expensive.

A summoning order has 20,000 points, and the Roman legion is a 7th rank class, and a Roman soldier consumes 4 points, which is equivalent to 10,000 points, which can provide a 5,000-strong Roman legion.

This does not mean that 10,000 points is enough.

A Roman legion must have at least two summoning orders, one to form the Roman legion, and the other to supplement the Roman legion's losses in the event of a Roman legion's loss.

If you look at it more securely, a Roman legion needs 3-4 summons.

After all, Chu Tian didn't know when the next time he would get the recruitment order.

Chutian has two Roman eagle banners, which can form a total of 2 Roman legions, and requires 6 summoning orders, that is, 60,000 points are consumed.

The French Protector requires 2 points per source, and a summoning order can provide 10,000 French Protectors.

Joan of Arc can recruit up to 30,000 French Protectors, so 3 summons are required. According to Chu Tian's prudent principle, 6 summoning orders are required.

Siphias's western teaching regiment is a seventh-order heavy cavalry, 4,000 people, and the principle of prudence, Chutian prepared 3 summoning orders for it.

The Hussite Legion of Jaysika, Chutian prepared 6 summoning orders for it.

King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, which seems to have a cap of 200 people at the moment, can prepare 2 summoning orders for them.

Queen Himiko of Yamatai has not unlocked her class and does not need to form a legion for her. Moreover, as long as the island of Kyushu in Toei is captured, you can recruit a hidden class for Queen Himiko, a shrine maiden, without the need for a summoning order.

In total, a total of 23 summoning orders are required, and 230,000 points are consumed.

Chu Tian still has almost 520,000 points left.

Chu Tian checked other items in the list.

Chutian's forces are currently not short of infantry, cavalry, bows, crossbows, and trebuchets, and he prefers to look at firearms-related props.

The Han Empire's firearms were relatively scarce, and it was possible that Chutian would consider expanding the scale of the Shenji Battalion and expanding the number of Hongyi cannons.

The Hongyi cannon lost in the national war was replenished by the system to Chutian.

Chu Tian had 24 Hongyi cannons, but he couldn't get supplies.

Not only firearms, but more importantly, a steady stream of supplies. Firearms without supplies are like broken metal.
