Chapter 967: Jing Haihou
The rune seemed to have substance, more than any rune of light and shadow encountered in the scene! It can be seen that this old turtle has profound skills! This rune was made into a flat stone, which fell into Akon's hand, and was carved with the pattern of a dragon turtle, could it be that this giant turtle also has dragon blood?!
"Where do you want to go? I'll send you. You must know that this is the depths of the ocean, far from the land, and even if you have wooden kites, it will take a long ......time," the old man smiled.
"You? How to get there? Akon didn't understand how the giant tortoise could quickly take him to his destination, but he told him the destination anyway, "We are going to the continent on the west coast of the ocean, the land of China." ”
The old man in Ge Yi smiled and nodded, and Akon only felt that his feet were shaking, as if this Turtle Island had collapsed as a whole, and the sea water was surrounding it from all sides, and it was going to submerge Turtle Island! Just as he was panicking, the sea water closed two or three meters above his head, but it did not fall. It was as if he was encased in a large glass cover.
Then Turtle Island continues to sink, and the dirt coral reef begins to engulf the giant tortoise and the Akon bookman. It turned out that the giant tortoise was not floating on the surface of the sea, but lying on a large coral reef, which was more than 10 meters below the surface of the sea. And now the giant tortoise is using its natural earth escape spell to move to Akon's destination!
The journey to the ground was dark and fast, but in the blink of an eye, when the giant tortoise floated from the bottom of the sea again, Akon found that the island was still surrounded by an ocean, as if it had just sunk to the undersea isthmus and floated up again, without moving at all.
"This is already the coast of the mainland, and the continent seems to be much denser than when I came before, so it is inconvenient for me to go ashore. You don't have much to fly over. "The old man is as peaceful as ever.
Akon was puzzled, and when he and the book demon flew high into the air, they found that this was indeed the coast of the mainland, and the giant turtle was lying on a reef, like a small island. The old man in Ge Yi has long since disappeared.
This is still the coast of Fujian, and under the guidance of the book demon, Akon controls the wooden kite to fly outside Hangzhou and land. After entering the city, I went straight to Hangzhou Patrol House.
Outside the mansion, the Akon Book Demon handed over the names of Shi Fan and the baron of the cemetery, and his own officials entered the report. After a while, the door was wide open, and Master Shaoxing led the two in.
At this time, the 'King of the Pure Sea' Wang Zhi had already been killed. Hu Zongxian has already been rewarded by the imperial court for his meritorious work in quelling the maritime chaos and exterminating the Japanese invaders, and he is in the limelight. However, because Zhang Fan was in a hurry and did not inform him, he had to list this outstanding lieutenant in the list of battle damage. Today, I suddenly heard that Zhang Fan was fine, and he sent someone to contact him, and he was very happy.
After receiving the Akon Book Demon to the mansion, he held a feast to catch them up. During the banquet, Hu Zongxian asked about Zhang Fan's recent situation, and heard that Zhang Fan's team had established its own shili in the Caribbean, and even began to plot for hegemony in the New World, so he immediately showed strong interest. Coupled with the overseas treasures presented by Akon, I don't feel envious in my heart.
When he heard that Zhang Fan's team needed the help of the Ming court in order to confront the powerful Spanish Empire's armada, he knew that it would be profitable, so he offered to help Zhang Fan convince the court. You must know that he originally wanted to win over Zhang Fan's overseas shili and get shili for himself in the imperial court.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan said goodbye, he thought that this magical captain, the Western Baron, had died in the chaotic battle, and launched a dragnet search, but found nothing, and he was very disappointed. Unexpectedly, more than half a year later, this Baron Shi Fan sent his companions to contact him, and he was very pleased.
Under the guidance of Hu Zongxian, Akon and the book demon did not immediately go to meet the Ming Emperor, but arrived at Jinling, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which is now NJ City, and began to bribe and lobby for Ming officials. You must know that Hu Zongxian at this time was a disciple of Yan Song, the most important minister of the Ming Dynasty. And Yan Song's shili in the imperial court at this time can be described as in full swing! With Hu Zongxian's recommendation, Aken's drilling technique, this way can be described as smooth sailing!
However, the scene wealth in Akon's hands is also like flowing water! These Chinese ministers all have great appetites. Fortunately, Zhang Fan's team has accumulated some wealth in Africa and the Caribbean, and some worthless Western industrial products and works of art and native products are all rare treasures here, which are very sought after by the powerful.
The scene also has a wealth bonus for such a transfer of property value, which is very close to reality. In the same way, when the specialty of China arrives in the West, shijie will also be added to the wealth of the scene. This also allowed Akon to save a lot of money.
After more than a month of intensive lobbying by Jin Yuan, Akon's foundation has been solid! Then Hu Zongxian personally handed over the report to Emperor Jiajing, and trumpeted Zhang Fan's great achievements in exterminating Haikou last year! This is Zhang Fan's book demon and Xuanyuan Xing, the real scene military exploits set up in the Ming Dynasty!
Under the planning of Zhang Fan and the book demon, the pirates and pirates that could only be exterminated after ten years were eliminated in one day, so that the Daming Maritime Frontier was calm in advance, and the coastal people of the Ming Dynasty were saved from being destroyed, which was very beneficial to change the historical trend. This kind of scene task can be described as very well accomplished. The scene certainly doesn't skimp on rewards, and the increase in fame is inevitable. Of course, there is also the belated commendation of the Ming court.
Akon didn't come empty-handed, he paid tribute to the Ming Emperor with overseas treasures equivalent to nearly 100 pieces of scene wealth! Like five-foot-tall red coral, large pieces of ambergris, fist-sized deep-sea pearls, the purest African gemstones, and rare African and South American exotic creatures, Western Shijie crafts and industrial products. These rare treasures make the Ming Emperor longyan happy!
In the past month, the book demon has asked Hu Zongxian to invite a lot of masters of Gongbi Danqing to draw a large number of beautiful scenery catalogues of the New World, and dedicate them to the Ming Emperor together with these rare treasures!
Hu Zongxian already had a group of famous people in Jiangnan at that time, and a large number of famous painters and writers such as Shen Mingchen, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Wenchang all defected to him and became his staff and think tank. The exotic picture album of the book demon made Emperor Jiajing feel very curious, and he named the new continent in amazement on the spot, "This is really a beautiful continent!" Thus the name of America is the official name of the New World, which seems to be a return to history in another way.
You must know that the emperor of China has always regarded himself as the central country, and the emperor is the pride of the sky, so how can he only take the benefits of his courtiers and not exceed the rewards of his courtiers? In addition, the exchange of gifts is a kind of cultural inheritance. All Gentiles and subjects will be rewarded far more than they give! This is about the face of the court and the dignity of the royal family!
Before that, with his own gifts, Akon handed over a piece of information about opening up territory for the Ming court as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, encountering obstacles, and asking the court for help. The imperial court was required to send troops overseas, and open the sea frontier, allow cross-sea trade, and allow mainland people to emigrate overseas. In return, the territory opened up by Shi Fan's team outside will pay tribute to the Ming court.
This series of invitations, tributes, and requests for help in line with the best procedures are the result of repeated jihua by Hu Zongxian and his Shaoxing master's think tank. It should be able to bring the best results to the ultimate goal of Zhang Fan's team. first put the great military exploits in front, tempted the court with overseas treasures, and gave enough face to the Ming court and the royal family, and then threw out the requirements.
The biggest reason for this series of complex political methods is that there is a contradiction between the Daming sea ban policy and the requirements of Zhang Fan's team. Otherwise, why would it cost so much?! The Ming Dynasty is a controversial foreign trade policy in history, and the implementation of this policy not only affects the development of Chinese history, but also changes the historical trend of Shijie after the Age of Discovery!
If China, like the West, joins the colonization of the Age of Discovery, how modern history will be written will be a big question! You must know that the population base of the Ming Dynasty at this time is not a base compared with the maritime colonial empires such as Spain, Portugal, England, and the Netherlands!
If the Ming government had opened up the maritime frontier and allowed or even encouraged its people to trade abroad, colonize, and expand its territory, it is unimaginable what this shijie would have developed into in the history of later generations. But one thing can be very clear: it will not be possible for future generations of China to suffer a century-old national humiliation that has been humiliated by the Western powers because of its weakness, backwardness and corruption!
The court's commendation was undisputed, but the request to open the sea ban was shelved. Even when most of the powerful courtiers seconded the proposal, Emperor Jiajing stubbornly pressed the fold and waited for reconsideration. Because as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is not possible to change the decision of the ancestors at will.
Half a month later, after some games on and off the stage, as well as Aken's money offensive, the Ming court's maritime ban policy was finally loosened. This huge and slow political machine, driven by the efforts of Zhang Fan's team, finally slowly rotated in the other direction of history......
In the spring of the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty canonized a Jinghai Hou! This person was originally a legendary captain of the Ming Dynasty, but he made meritorious contributions overseas and was made a baron by a certain Western empire. And the Ming Dynasty does not have a baronial title. And since he is a Ming courtier, he has made immortal feats in Haijiang, and he is also thousands of miles overseas, opening up territory for the imperial court, how can he not be rewarded with a superior reward than a small Western country? !
What's more, if the Ming Emperor didn't reward him, wouldn't this Ming courtier want to open up territory for other countries. As the saying goes, the word is not right, and the name is not good. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. The imperial court rewarded a large amount of property as funds for the expansion of the territory. It also recruits a large number of outstanding craftsmen in various industries, and is ready to go overseas with Daming Sailor at any time to create China New Town!
