Chapter 377: What you can’t get on the battlefield, you can’t get at the negotiation table.


Chapter 377: What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't even think about at the negotiation table

"Rui De, you have a lot of backbone, I admire you!" Zhu Yijun looked at Rui being held down by Tiqi and recognized it very much In order to meet the emperor, Rui succumbed to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, but when he saw the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Rui refused to kneel down. Who gave him the courage?

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but ask, is Rui really here to negotiate peace? Meneses, the governor of Goa, sent him here, more like to declare war!

Many civil and military officials looked at this scene in surprise.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang opened the country, how can any of the tribute envoys from other countries refuse to kneel?

Wan Shihe knows one thing, that is, in the 19th year of Yongle, the envoys of the Timur Kingdom, Altusha and Gesuyedin, refused to kneel down. Altusha was the prime minister of the Timur Kingdom. Gaisu Yedin was a fierce general. Emperor Yongle held a military parade and invited envoys from various countries to witness it. These two conspicuous people refused to kneel, and Emperor Cheng Zuwen did not care. When the parade was over, these two envoys Suddenly he kowtowed.

Between the Ming Dynasty and the Timur Kingdom, there was a Western Region. The Ming Dynasty was indeed beyond its reach. At that time, the Timur Kingdom was the overlord of Central Asia and was known as the suzerain of 127 countries. He even defeated and captured the Ottoman Sultan Lightning Bayezid I. He naturally had his own arrogance, but after witnessing the power of the Ming army, the envoy of the Timur Kingdom fell to his knees.

The arrogance of the messengers from the Timur Kingdom is based on the strength of the Timur Kingdom and the fact that the Ming Dynasty is far away from the Timur Kingdom and cannot be reached.

But where did Ruy De get his arrogance? He actually dared to play tricks on the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. He went back on his word and refused to kneel in the palace. The water journey of the Ming Dynasty army to the Governor's Palace in Goa only took two months, which was shorter than the time it took the Beijing camp to reach Jiayuguan!

But all the officials in the Ministry of Rites are paralyzed. They were good at teaching, but now they go back on their word when they go to the palace. If His Majesty blames him, no one in the Ministry of Rites will get anything good to eat. Chen Xuexue looked at Ma Ziqiang. , Ma Ziqiang looked at Wan Shihe, Diego De is very honest now. After being beaten, he went to the martial arts school honestly. This Rui De still deserves a beating.

When some ministers saw this scene, they began to murmur in low voices. Officials of the Ming Dynasty had never seen this scene before.

“The Government House of Goa will definitely use its own sword to protect its territory. It has been more than 170 years since the Ming Dynasty abandoned the old port and the Strait of Malacca. It has been 60 years since we occupied Mankara. , Emperor Ming will let us go with one word? This is impossible to happen. If I don’t kneel down to you, the tyrant, today, I am telling you that all of us in the Goa Governor’s Palace do not lack courage! , will hold on until the last person!"

"You guys' attempt will never succeed!" Rui was pushed on his shoulders and kicked to the ground, and had to kneel down, but he still shouted loudly. .

According to Rui's information, Emperor Ming spoke very good Latin. Emperor Ming would definitely be able to understand what he shouted.

Zhu Yijun picked up a square towel, wiped his hands, and took a box from Feng Bao. After making sure that his hands were not sweaty, he opened the box and found a roll of imperial edict inside. He put his gloves on He took it with him, opened the imperial edict, and said: "No, no, no, Rui, you are wrong. That land is not yours. What I have to remind you is that sixty years ago, you captured the city of Malacca. , the king and prince of Mankara escaped, and the king has been organizing resistance since then, trying to recapture the city of Malacca."

"You destroyed the old king's resistance, but the prince is still alive in the Ming Dynasty."

"The name of this prince was Duan Maimaiti. When he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he found Qiu Daolong, the minister of Honglu Temple in the Ministry of Rites, and cried. Qiu Daolong reported it to Emperor Wuzong, who was furious."

"In December of the 15th year of Zhengde, Emperor Wu Zongyi issued an imperial edict and told the Portuguese envoy Huo Zheyesan that the Mankara Kingdom was a kingdom conferred by the Ming Dynasty's edict, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, while the Franji Kingdom The people actually dared to break through the capital and annex the land of Mankara, and also asked the Ming Dynasty to recognize the occupation of the Folangji people. The Ming Dynasty would never recognize the rule of the Folangji people in Malacca, and sent envoy Jiang Bin to the city of Malacca with an imperial edict to order the Buddha to If the Langji people return the territory, they will definitely declare your sins and punish your crimes."

"This imperial edict is the original. Jiang Bin brought it back in March of the next year, but the Langji people did not. Ken agreed and chose to resist the edict. Jiang Bin was convicted and imprisoned by Emperor Wu Zong because of his unfavorable mission. "

Zhu Yijun opened the imperial edict. Even though it was a tribute paper from Goryeo, it was still slightly yellow. This imperial edict. It was the original document. Feng Bao dug it out from the ancient and modern collection library, and Jiang Bin took it with him. The red-haired fan refused to respect the order, so Jiang Bin brought it back.

The reason why Jiang Bin was imprisoned was very simple. Emperor Wu Zong made it very clear: You are an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and the bandits are resisting the imperial decree. You should send a message to all the bandits to invite troops to fight together.

"In the first year of Jiajing, Emperor Sejong issued an edict to execute Jiang Bin and the Portuguese envoy Huozhe Yasan who had lived in the Ming Dynasty for twelve years." After Zhu Yijun closed the edict and put it away carefully, Picked up another driving post, this is the driving post where Master Dao beheaded Jiang Bin and Huo Zhe Ya San.

The reason for Jiang Bin's death is also very clear. The vassal states of the Ming Dynasty were attacked and destroyed. Jiang Bin failed to get things done with the imperial edict, causing the Ming Dynasty to suffer humiliation. He deserved to die.

Zhu Yijun took out another imperial edict from the box and continued: "In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Duan Maimaiti died in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Shizong ordered an official burial, and then still canonized Duan Maimaiti. The descendant of Maiti is the king of Mankara, and he issued an order to Simang, the commander of Fo Langji on Tuen Mun Island, to return the old land of Mankara. "

The Taoist master is a small-minded man, so he did not kill Jiang Bin and others. Killing Fireman Yasan, killing Tomei Piles was the end. Master Dao always remembered this. But in the 32nd year of Jiajing, when the northern invaders invaded and the southeastern Japanese invaded, Master Dao could only remember it. This happened.

Zhu Yijun put the imperial edict away, took out another imperial edict from it, and said: "From the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has never given up its claim to Mankara. Portugal is never allowed to pay tribute. Wanli In the first year of the year, Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, expelled the Francois who occupied the Hao border without permission. In that year, all merchant ships belonging to Portugal arriving in the port were subject to an additional penalty of three points out of ten and punitive tariffs. This was also the case at the beginning. ”

“From Portugal’s point of view, Antonio, the successor of your king, accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and dedicated the Strait of Malacca to the Ming Dynasty. This is the letter sent by Antonio. This is mine. The imperial edict to confer him the title of King of Portugal"

"Do you have any questions?"

Rui De understood very well that Ming Dynasty was very well prepared. Starting from talking about the grievances and hatreds of the Ming Dynasty, and then to the various events in the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty did have a very, very complete claim right in terms of legal principles, and even the descendants of Prince Manjiala were still alive and well in the Ming Dynasty.

Even if we don’t mention the past, the Kingdom of Mankara was actually destroyed. From Portugal’s standpoint, Crown Prince Antonio also betrayed the ownership of the entire Strait of Malacca.

However, Portugal is Portugal, and the Governor-General of Goa is the Governor-General of Goa. The interests are not completely consistent.

"Now we have actually occupied the Strait of Malacca. What's the use of you, a tyrant, talking so much! I'm telling you today that we will never leave the Strait of Malacca!" Rui was pressed, still He refused to lower his head, straightened his neck, and shouted loudly.

Zhao Mengyou stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Yi's head to the ground. Whether Lu Yi was willing to kneel down and obey him or not was Lu Yi's business. It was Ru Yi's business to ask Lu Yi to kneel down and obey him. Zhao Mengyou is responsible for the duties of these ceremonial officers.

Zhu Yijun put the imperial edict and other items into the box, took off his gloves, looked at Rui and said: "I am a reasonable person. If the reason makes sense, let's talk about it. If the reason doesn't make sense, I will. Don’t tell me.”

“Didn’t you say that you will not surrender until the last person dies?”

“Well, I promise you, I will kill them all. Er Jing. "

"As the Emperor of Heaven, I will never break my promise."

"I have had a copy of these documents printed. Take it back, this is my truth, I will tell you, you don’t have to listen, but I must say that Ming Dynasty is not a barbarian, it is a civilized country with a long history. It is a burden, but also a kind of pride. Most people in the Ming Dynasty respected history, including the emperor Zhu Yijun. When he picked up the imperial edicts from the Zhengde and Jiajing years, the emperor was also cautious because over time, the paper became more fragile. But it doesn't matter, Zhu Yijun has already had these carved into inscriptions.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and told Lu Yi to go away. Since there is a war, then give them a war. Lu Yi was still shouting, but he was taken away by the officials. In the Huangji Palace, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty All the officials were a little silent. Even those retro-style people who clamored that Rouyuan people cherish the princes could not say a word at this time.

Rui De went back on his word and refused to kneel even though he agreed. This humiliated the officials of the Ministry of Rites, humiliated the Ming Emperor, and humiliated the Ming Dynasty.

In the 29th year of Jiajing, Anda Khan invaded the capital, besieged the capital, and sent envoys to Beijing to negotiate for the withdrawal of troops. Anda Khan's envoys all knelt down.

"Rui De, a red-haired fan, came from afar to admire his righteousness. He didn't know the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty, and he was an important official of the imperial court. He went to Guangxiao Temple to practice etiquette for three days before seeing him. On the first day, he knelt on his left On the second day, he started to kneel on his right leg, and on the third day he kowtowed before introducing him to the Minister of Honglu Temple." Zhu Yijun took off his gloves and took out the memorial written by Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites.

Lu Yi learned etiquette at Guangxiao Temple. He did learn it. After learning it, he met Chen Xue, the minister of Honglu Temple, to arrange an interview.

"I am guilty." Ma Ziqiang, Chen Xuexue and other officials from the Ministry of Rites quickly came out to bow their heads and confess their guilt. If such an accident happened, they could not escape the blame.

"No, no, no, I clearly remember that when Wan Dazai was still the eldest uncle, he slapped the table and said to me: Yi Di, with a wolf face and a beast heart, is afraid of power but not ethical! What happened today, It just proves that what Wan Dazai said is true, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites have tried their best." Zhu Yijun thought that he was a sensible person.

The reason why Meneses sent Rui was to come for peace talks. The conditions were already very favorable. Menezes’ ultimate goal was to replace the country of Mankara and continue to exist.

The Ministry of Rites arranged an interview, and Lu Yi was very respectful. However, Lu Yi turned against him, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

"Ru Yi's behavior actually illustrates what Mr. Da Sima He said to me. What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't even think of getting at the negotiation table." Zhu Yijun said with emotion. .

Isn’t the reason why Rui came to the palace to make a noise that he couldn’t be defeated on the battlefield? If he could survive on the battlefield, why would he travel thousands of miles to the capital?

Zhang Juzheng was already ready to blame Chen Shan. Hai Rui stretched out one foot. His Majesty said something. Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Hai Rui also took back the foot that was stretched out.

To kill an important court official for the rudeness of a Fanyi envoy, isn't this a typical act of hurting relatives, angering enemies, and having ghosts in the door? Emperor, you have such a bad temper, why don't you kill Fan Yi?

As a result, His Majesty did not blame the officials of the Ministry of Rites at all. Zhang Juzheng's preparations were all in vain. He originally said in "Current Affairs" that the country's major drawback was unclear rewards and punishments. Hai Rui discovered that during the Wanli period, He rarely had the opportunity to blame Chen Shan, so he could only catch a few more corrupt officials and fulfill their duties faithfully.

"I would like to thank your Majesty for your kindness." Ma Ziqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead. His Majesty's temperament is indeed the same as Yu Dayou said, too gentle and benevolent. According to the basic logic that the emperor humiliates his ministers and dies, this It was time for Ma Ziqiang to lose his head. Even after thinking twice, and with Yuan Fu and Tai Jian admonishing Renshu, Ma Ziqiang's best end was just to be imprisoned.

Jiang Bin was imprisoned because he failed to issue the imperial edict, and was then beheaded in public.

This is what happened under the feudal monarchy.

Your Majesty has a gentle and benevolent temperament. The reason why he likes to kill people is not your fault. It is because your ministers have lost their obedience.

Zhu Yijun looked around and asked calmly: "Is there anyone who opposes the Ming Dynasty's restoration of the Xuanwei Department in Old Port? No one objects today, so don't object again in the future." "Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Juzheng led his ministers to directly sing praises and praises.

"Okay, let's declare Shah Amamaiti." Zhu Yijun signaled the ministers to return to work. The main topic of the meeting, the meeting with the foreign envoys was not over yet, Rui said so After the commotion, the court, which had many opinions, reached a consensus. The Strait of Malacca is in the hands of foreigners. The Ming Dynasty took jujube pills. This red-haired fan is not only bold, but also very ruthless in his methods. This can be regarded as an accident. Overjoyed.

There have been people who have been opposing the imperial court before, setting up the Xuanwei Department in the old port, and planning the Malacca Strait. If there is a voice in the court, then Zhu Yijun will have to be careful about his head in his dreams.

The reasons for those who objected were very good. Because of Menezes's obedience, the conditions he gave were indeed very moving, which made some retro-style officials regain their old dreams and start the rule of Rouyuan people. Returning from all directions, it is a big dream that the princes will be feared by the world. It seems that it is not a bad idea to have the Strait of Malacca in the Governor's Palace of Goa, so that everyone can be harmonious and make money.

The Nine Classics of Confucianism have been poisoning the Central Plains for thousands of years.

But it turns out that Fanyi is Fanyi after all, and Rui's behavior was like a hard slap on the face of these retro Confucian scholars, waking them up from their dreams.

The contradiction related to survival is the main contradiction and an irreconcilable contradiction.

Even those old-fashioned Confucian scholars who have some thoughts in their hearts, no matter how much they say that the Malacca Strait in the hands of Fanyi will not cause damage to the Ming Dynasty, they have to consider today's scene. If they talk nonsense again, I am afraid they will be punished. Accused of Yin knot and Fan Yi.

Of course Shah Maimaiti saw Rui being dragged out, because Rui kept yelling, Zhao Mengyou simply found a sock and stuffed it into Rui's mouth, saving him from continuing. Shah Maimaiti was extremely surprised when he uttered such arrogant words. As far as he knew, after the Ming Dynasty changed from a conservative national policy to opening up the sea, it had never dragged out any foreign envoys with their socks stuffed in their socks.

What did this Rui do?

After Shah Maimaiti was announced, he carefully walked into the Huangji Palace, saluted extremely respectfully, not daring to make any mistakes, and shouted obediently: "Greetings to your Majesty, Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!”

After entering the country from Jiayuguan, Shah Maimaiti stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a year before completing the process of meeting the emperor and then coming to the capital. His Chinese Excellent, even idioms and sayings can be expressed correctly.

"Envoy Sha'at, I haven't seen you for a long time. No need to be polite, please come quickly. Envoy Sha'at has worked hard this time on the horse boat." Zhu Yijun is a dog-faced person! As soon as I saw the big customer, my face burst into laughter!

On this trip, Shah Maimaiti brought back 25,000 war horses to the Ming Dynasty, including 500 stallions, and there was no need to spend any extra money!

"No hard work, no hard work, your majesty, Emperor Akbar has asked his ministers to bring credentials and please check them." Shah Maimaiti raised his voice and his heart fell back into his stomach. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was such a good person. He was so noble and approachable. It must be that Lu Yi's fault.

Akbar's credential is normally just a piece of business flattery, full of praise for the five-masted transoceanic ship, especially the fearful face of the Diu Governor's Palace when he saw the five-masted transoceanic ship. Akbar was very comfortable, and he hoped for more five-masted ships to frighten the red-haired Fans in Taixi.

The communication between Zhu Yijun and Shah Maimaiti was very smooth. Shah Maimaiti really planned to live in the Ming Dynasty for a long time. He protested to the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ming Dynasty were too hard-working. He hoped that he could He only went to look for him on odd days, but not on even days. He expressed surprise at the diligence of Ming officials.

It’s not that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were diligent, but that Shah Maimaiti’s life was really enviable.

Listening to storytelling at the Qianmen Building lasts all day. Even if I go to Siyi Pavilion to sit in class, I also go there for half a day to rest. The main focus is to relax and expressive.

“I praise Your Majesty, the goods at His Majesty’s Imperial Village are really eye-opening to me, but it’s a pity that I don’t know when new and novel goods will be available.” Shah Maimaiti said about his shopping at Imperial Village Very satisfied with the experience and looking forward to new products.

“The Shah’s envoy can buy a civilian newspaper, which will publish the news of the Ming Dynasty. If the Shah’s envoy wants to buy it, most of the goods will be left for the Shah’s envoy, so there is no need to worry. "Zhu Yijun is also very satisfied. Yesterday Shah Maimaiti spent 17,800 taels of silver at Huangzhuang.

“Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty.” Shah bowed his head and said: “Your Majesty, my monarch told me to maintain the friendship with Your Majesty in the hope of obtaining more five-masted transoceanic ships. I don’t know this year. How much can Daming sell to us? Of course, it’s still for 250,000 silver a piece.”

"Five five-masted transoceanic ships. Felipe II of the West did not pay enough silver. He did not take away the ten five-masted ships scheduled for him. He only took away five, and he borrowed my silver." Zhu Yijun I told Shah Maimaiti that the Mughal Kingdom's quota for this year was only five ships.

Da Ming’s production capacity has been stretched to its limit.

“Thank you to your noble and generous Majesty, your kindness will surely shine throughout the entire West.” Shah Maimaiti asked curiously: “Can your Majesty still borrow money here? How is the interest paid? ”

The Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue stood up and briefly explained Ming Dynasty’s borrowing policy to Shah Maimaiti. The more Shah Maimaiti listened, the more surprised he became. Risks, extensions, asset pledges, and sovereign pledges These words made Shah Maimaiti break out in a cold sweat.

To borrow money from His Majesty, at least several generations of people will have to work as cattle and horses for His Majesty to repay it. If it is not over, His Majesty's kindness in borrowing money will not be over at all!

"Are you interested in Envoy Shah?" Zhu Yijun asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, the Mughal Kingdom is very rich, and I am not short of money." Shah Maimaiti quickly refused, fearing that he would refuse too late, the ceremonial officer pressed him to the ground on the spot and asked him to Shah Maimaiti stopped talking about borrowing money and immediately left the Huangji Palace as if he was running away.

Zhu Yijun looked at the back of Shah Maimaiti with great regret. Shah Maimaiti left very decisively, without any nostalgia, and was not even willing to look back.

Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "Why doesn't he lend me some? He should borrow some."

Then came the envoys of North Korea, Annan, Siam, Taixi Special Envoy Legas and so on. Entering the Hajj, it took nearly an hour just to receive the foreign envoys.

"Your Majesty, Ningyuan Marquis Li Chengliang arrived at Jimen yesterday." Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, heard something. Once every three years, when it was time for Li Chengliang to go to Beijing to report on his duties, Li Chengliang took a hundred personal guards and arrived at Jimen. Waiting for the order in Jimen, if His Majesty does not see him, Li Chengliang will go to the Ministry of War and then return to Liaodong.

"Let Marquis Ningyuan go to Beidaying to stay today, and we will meet you on a different day." Zhu Yijun thought for a while, looked at Qi Jiguang and said with a smile: "Marquis Ningyuan is coming from afar, Commander Qi must entertain him well, let Li Rusong go to Jiguang The state received Marquis Ningyuan and entered the camp. "I obey the order." Qi Jiguang obeyed the order of the leader.

"If you have something to do, please report it early, but if there is nothing to do, leave the court." Feng Bao saw that the time was almost up, flicked his fly whisk, took a step forward, and announced that the court meeting was successfully concluded.

Zhu Yijun did not like the Rouyuan people and the Confucian Nine Classics who cherished the princes. However, as a prince, Li Chengliang came to Beijing, and Zhu Yijun gave him enough face. Because of the Liaodong issue, he had to count on Li Chengliang at this time.

After the Great Court Meeting, both Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang were stopped by the small yellow gate and led to the small railway. The driver was already waiting for them, and the Ming Emperor had already gone to the Wenhua Palace on landlubber.

Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang arrived at the main hall and were led to the side hall. In the side hall, there were still seven display windows. Feng Bao took three little yellow doormen to place the document presented by His Majesty today in the third one. Inside the display window, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was standing on a huge Kantu map, with his hands behind his back.

"See your majesty, your majesty pays you a respectful greeting." Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang bowed their heads in greeting.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun turned around and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

Zhu Yijun stood in front of the Kanyu map, pointed to the place where the Xuanwei Department of Old Port was, and A small red flag was placed in the old port position in his hand, and then he said with a relaxed face: "Zhang Yuanxun made a surprise attack on the old port and captured the Xuanwei Department of the old port. He gained the initiative on the battlefield. This battle was won by surprise, but it was for Taixi. I taught Fan Yi a good lesson.”

"Songjiang Shipyard reported that the two five-masted transoceanic ships deployed to Luzon this year have been tested at sea and can be deployed as scheduled in September."

Deng Zilong returned to Beijing to seek the support of the Ming Emperor. Two five-masted ocean crossing ships. Zhu Yijun promised to deploy them before September. Songjiang Shipyard has built the ships. The Type C five-masted ocean crossing ship is a warship used by the Ming Dynasty. The Type C five-masted ocean crossing ship can be bought with extra money. Less good stuff.

Zhang Juzheng shook his sleeves, took out a memorial from it, and said with a smile on his face: "Guo Zhengmao sent a memorial, saying that the plantations in Nanyang have begun to make profits. It is expected that this year There were 720,000 silver, of which 30% was retained in Luzon as originally agreed, and approximately 500,000 silver arrived in Beijing, of which 200,000 jins of red copper were delivered to Songjiang Prefecture for casting copper coins. "

One tael of silver and twenty catties of copper in the Ming Dynasty should have been four million catties according to the market price in the Ming Dynasty, but Yin Zhengmao converted it according to the copper price in Luzon, so he delivered five million catties of red copper. The five million catties A pound of red copper is 1.6 million ingots, which is 650 million copper coins.

Coin casting is profitable, and private casting among the people has become popular. However, most of the copper coins cast privately are flying coins and thin iron coins. It is not that the people of the Ming Dynasty did not want to use Tongbao. In the past, the Ming court could only cast 20,000 ingots a year. It is an indisputable fact that there is no copper in the Ming Dynasty.

Tongxiang Town in Luzon alone produces 6.5 million kilograms of copper materials a year.

"If possible, it would be most appropriate to exchange all the gains from the plantation into copper." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said seriously.

"Your Majesty, there is not even a single piece of bronze in the Luzon Governor's Palace." Zhang Juzheng's meaning is very clear. It is not that the Luzon Governor's Palace is disrespectful, but that Luzon is really gone. Yin Zhengmao has spent all his money. I tried my best.

Legasi’s judgment in his travel notes was correct. The purpose of the Ming Dynasty’s opening of the sea was not exactly the same as that of the West. The West liked silver, while the Ming Dynasty liked grain and copper.

"The emperor told me a few days ago that he hopes to send a few Doctors of Gewu and bring the students of Gewu to Nanyang to draw the Kanyu map. This Kanyu map is indeed poor." Zhu Yijun looked at Wanli The Kanmap of the seawall also left me scratching my head. On the Kanmap, the area of ​​Wanli Seawall is much smaller. The distance is calculated based on water distance, which is seriously distorted.

"I will make arrangements." Zhang Juzheng was very concerned about this matter.

Especially since the last time Dr. Gewu used trigonometric mapping to draw a map of the Northern Parallel Capital Division, including Daningwei, Quaningwei, Yingchang and other places, Zhang Juzheng paid more attention to this. , Confucianism does not teach geography. Zhang Juzheng used to think that Peiping Dusi and Shuntian Prefecture were about the same size. However, after the Kanyu map came out, Zhang Juzheng shouted that he had been deceived!

(Beijing Parallel Capital Map)

I wish you all a happy New Year. In the new year, everyone will make a fortune, thank you for this.
