In 1785, when Qitade's fifty-fifth birthday, Zhuang Zhihe, the minister of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of science, education, culture and health, suddenly fell to him with tears on his face.

Zhuang Zhihe was nearly seventy years old at this time, and he had long been a beard. Qitade had already allowed him to retire and go home to retire, but he fell in love with the books in the Sultan Palace in Bogda City.

Zhuang Zhihe returned to Turgut with Qitade in 1758. It has been 27 years since then. He has served as the minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites. He is a family of officials in Jiangnan. Because of a literary inquisition, the entire clan was sent to the Western Regions to accompany the army.

The army is just nice, and it is true that the Soren who just arrived there is a man wearing armor and a slave.

Although Zhuang Zhihe has been working in Truqin for a long time and is preparing to live here at the beginning, as the Truqin Empire becomes stronger and stronger, he continues to advise Qitade to take over the Qing Dynasty.

Qitade was a little confused inside.

Taking over the Qing Dynasty and then migrating a large number of immigrants to the local and overseas colonies can not only quickly strengthen the power of the empire, but also stabilize the empire's situation.

Moreover, at this time the population of the Qing Dynasty was close to 300 million, and the contradiction of small land and large population became increasingly prominent. Assisting its migrant population actually helped them.

If he is a real straitor, he must be good at doing things. But after all, he is a time traveler and still wants to retain some face for his mother country in his previous life.

What's more, even if there is no immigration empire in the Qing Dynasty, it is the first in the world today. It is naturally good to have him, and without him, it does not matter to the fate of the country.

And since his power gradually spread to the whole world, everything has been a sign of improvement. In today's world, there is really no way to see which force may threaten him.

Until this time the appearance of Zhuang Zhihe.

Zhuang Zhihe couldn't stay idle after retirement. When he arrived in Turgut, he realized that the Tianfang Cult might have an impact on the Khanate, because almost all the tribes around the Turgut Khanate believed in the Tianfang Cult.

So he took the initiative to learn Turkic language.

Five years later, he was able to skillfully talk to officials from Hualazimo, Azerbaijan and other places in Turkic language. Although these officials can speak Chinese, Zhuang Zhihe still took the initiative to speak Turkic language with them.

After retirement, Qitad saw that he was too idle, so he simply let him enter the palace to manage the huge books and archives left by the Ottoman Sultan.

The Sultan's library has so many archives and involves a lot of aspects. Originally, Qitad didn't want to pay attention to it, thinking that his country is transcendent in any aspect, so why should we look for nutrition in a pile of old empires?

It was just that when I saw Han officials like Zhuang Zhihe and Fang Xiaode were really idle, they just let them go to the Royal Library to spend their time.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhihe brought him a surprise on his fifty-fifth birthday.

Or it is the most appropriate shock.

In the vast documents and files of the Sudan Library, which covers an area of ​​about 100 acres, he, Fang Xiaode and others have really found a treasure!

A "Silk Road Map of Mountains and Waters" with only broken copies in later generations!

Of course, the silk scroll that was dozens of meters long and bought from overseas by patriotic merchants was only the west of the Ming Dynasty to the mysterious city of Lu (Istanbul), and the European part was artificially cut.

The name, theme and seal of the scroll are not visible. According to expert research, it is believed that it was a work from the Jiajing period.

Qitade also learned about this matter later in life. He was naturally disdainful of the fact that I, Daming, actually set up a patrol department in Ankara and a weapon workshop in Damascus. According to his understanding, isn’t the western territory of the Ming Dynasty the farthest to Hami?

How could the inspection department and weapon workshop be set up in the territory of the Ottoman Empire, which was still quite powerful at that time?

He didn't understand until the appearance of this copy of Ottoman in Silk Picture.

"The Emperor's Ming Dynasty's Supreme World Kun Map"

"The minister Wuying Palace's secretary Lu Zhi and other 18 people worked together to produce it"

He also saw the European part, mainly the whole picture of the Mediterranean and the maps of some countries around the Mediterranean. As for northern Europe, they are all named as "Wilderness Zone".

If only these are the only ones, he still doesn't believe it. He thought that the painter who participated in the painting had painted another painting based on his memory, and then he went overseas from the merchant and was finally collected by the Sudan.

It was not until Zhuang Zhihe took out a roll of documents made of parchment that he suddenly realized.

The document is written in Turkic text, the general meaning is:

During the Yongli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's troops not only arrived in the Western Regions, but also reached the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea!

Perhaps it was because the Mongolians in history had a great influence on them. A new country that overthrew the Mongolians and established was also an existence that they looked up to.

This is not counting. The document also describes in detail that Zheng He's fleet would arrive on the northern shore of the Red Sea and held a pilgrimage there, which shows that Zheng He is also an Iranian.

Zheng He also left three thousand men there. At that time, these three thousand men defeated the 30,000 Ottoman army that rushed over, which was probably a must-have for guns and cannons. In Europe at that time, Ottoman firearms were obviously behind the Ming Dynasty.

Not only that, Zheng He's fleet also bypassed the Cape of Good Hope at the southern end of Africa, and then entered the Mediterranean from the Strait of Gibraltar. Along the way, he defeated the navy of many countries, including the Barbary Pirates, and shocked the Mediterranean. When they arrived at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, the three thousand troops left were still as stable as Mount Tai!

In horror, the Sultan immediately sent a tribute envoy to the Ming Dynasty.

What's next is obvious.

The Ming Dynasty was an open country and was very happy to help the development of the vassal states. Therefore, the "Ankara Inspection Department" was probably a transit station transported to the Asia Minor Peninsula via the Maritime Silk Road. The Ming Dynasty mostly formulated a inspection department that distributed materials and collected taxes in key Ottoman places.

The establishment of weapons workshops in Damascus is also due to this kind of overseas prestige.

However, why did the Ming history compiled by the Qing Dynasty, which completely accepted the legacy of the Ming Dynasty, describe it so unbearable?

And Europeans never describe this history?

Why did the so-called Renaissance happen to appear after Zheng He's fleet arrived for a hundred or two years before it slowly appeared?

An amazing idea suddenly surged into Qitad's heart.

"Before the Renaissance, there were few historical records and slightly civilized civilization. A new era began just after Zheng He's fleet arrived?"

“Is there no connection between them?”

"What roles did the Western missionaries, the Donglin Party, and the Qing court play here?"

No matter what role, it is probably a shameful character, especially the Qing Dynasty!

I can't let my Chinese children continue to live in ignorance!

"It was probably because the Ming Dynasty taught the astronomy, mathematics and technology of China to the Ottomans without reservation, and then passed it to Europe through them!"

"If it weren't for the ignorance of the Qing Dynasty, my China would have stood on the top of the world long ago"

Originally, in later generations, he sneered at those Western historical falsehoods, but now he completely believed it and his heart was full of anger.
Chapter completed!
