Chapter 460: The founding of the country is nothing more than that!
Hearing the word "benefits", all the distinguished officials couldn't help but express surprise.
Does the superior want to compensate us? That is to say, people say that for a slap in the face, they also give us a sweet date. The superior has never been a stingy person, how could it only make us bleed and not give us any benefits?
If he was an unkind person, the brothers would not have followed him wholeheartedly to conquer the country.
What are the great benefits in this box?
Everyone couldn't help but stretch their heads to take a look.
Lao Zhu had already taken his seat and gave the opportunity to speak to the two brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Su. Zhu Su took out the object from the box, and it turned out to be a long scroll.
When the scroll was opened and put on a stand in front of everyone, they saw that the picture was dotted here and there, and it was unclear what it was painted on. There were also densely drawn tiny figures on it, and annotations written in small regular script could be seen everywhere.
"Could this be... a map?" Feng Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"Is this a map?" Lan Yu asked doubtfully. "Feng Shuai, don't talk nonsense."
"Although I, Lan Yu, am not familiar with all the maps of the Ming Dynasty, I am familiar with them all."
"What other place looks like this? There are pieces here and there...could it be that they are all islands?"
"These are the four major khanates established by the descendants of Genghis Khan. Now there is a great hero Timur. This man established the country in the third year of Hongwu (1370), and the country was named 'Timur Empire'.
This country's army is brave and has the legacy of Genghis Khan, and it is a formidable enemy even for today's Ming Dynasty."
"Look, Marquis Yongchang." Zhu Biao smiled and pointed to the center of the map. "Look, isn't this my Ming Dynasty?"
Everyone's eyes were straightened.
"There is also this place, which is an uncivilized land. The people here are still in the period of eating raw materials, drinking blood, and cultivating crops. However, the resources here are rich and the land is vast, which is no less than that of China. Now as long as a partial army arrives by sea ship, it can occupy
Have it for yourself..."
At this time, the nobles and nobles became interested. Some people had the courage to step forward and wanted to take a closer look at this picture to see the world. Seeing Lao Zhu, he did not stop him, and gradually many people also gathered around this huge version of Kun.
In front of the Map of Ten Thousand Kingdoms. They pointed at the map and marveled at it, but Lan Yu suddenly said: "Hey, it's strange."
"What Song Guogong said is true. This is indeed a map." Zhu Biao said. "It's just that this is a map of the whole world!"
"Does it include the entire world except the Ming Dynasty?"
"Not only that, there are coal mines and iron mines here that no one has discovered before." Zhu Biao pointed to several other places in the Ming Dynasty. "But after searching according to the map, the deposits were indeed found."
As Zhu Biao introduced it, the eyes of all the Ming Dynasty nobles became brighter and brighter. Even Deng Yu, Feng Sheng and other Confucian generals couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Deng Yu said: "Your Highness, are you sure this picture is correct? That's not what I mean.
Is everything outside the world a barren land?"
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince." After all, Feng Sheng was the calmer one. He bowed his hands to Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao and asked, "Not everything outside China is barbaric. We already know this."
"Of course it has something to do with it. It has a lot to do with you!" Lao Zhu waved his sleeves and stood up.
Halfway through the words, the man realized something. "The world that His Highness the Crown Prince talks about, could it be that he is not referring to the world of the Ming Dynasty..."
After everyone heard this, they also focused their attention on Lao Zhu.
"What, it's so small!" Lan Yu only glanced at it and was shocked!
"That's right." Zhu Biao nodded. "This picture is called 'Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Picture', and it contains exactly all the ten thousand kingdoms in the world!"
When they stepped back and looked at the entire Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map, they felt deeply shocked: How could this world be so vast?
"Everyone, take a look." Zhu Biao continued to introduce with a smile on his face. "The resources of the world are marked on this map. For example, this island is the country of Japan located in the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty. There are extremely rich mineral resources here, including those located in
The Gin Mountains in the Land of Iwami and the Gold Mountains in the Land of Sado are extremely rich in reserves, and the gold and silver produced in them will not be mined completely even for hundreds of years."
The generals' eyes lit up.
Xungui was in an uproar again, but there was more excitement in his voice. They searched around on the map, and for the first time they knew that the world was so big, and there were actually places as good as China everywhere.
"It's not like we haven't seen the map of the world before. There are so many patches in the east and west..."
"We also compared ancient and modern classics and found no inconsistencies in this picture. Therefore, my father and I both believe that this picture is authentic."
"Another place is the ancient India (India), which has a large amount of coal, copper mines and other resources. It also has a pleasant climate and abundant grain production, which is comparable to that in the south of the Yangtze River."
"So he began to amass money for his own use, became domineering and arrogant, and was no longer as decisive and brave as before."
"I just don't know what this picture has to do with me, the Ming Dynasty and my nobles. Please tell me clearly."
When he exclaimed, everyone gathered in the center of the map to see where the Ming Dynasty was. Then they discovered that the country of the Ming Dynasty, which they thought should account for at least half of the world, actually had less than two people on this map.
A big slap!
"Doesn't this picture include all the countries in the world? Why can't I find the location of my Ming Dynasty for a while?"
"...Sure enough, gold was dug nearby." As he spoke, Zhu Biao clapped his hands, and several internal prisoners came in with boxes in their hands. When they opened it, they found a large piece of shining gold nugget.
Many people, especially Fei Ju and other nobles who were named by Lao Zhu just now, bowed their heads in shame when they heard this. Isn't that right? They thought they had already accomplished their best and forgot their original intention.
"Throughout the ages, your generals have accomplished nothing more than the founding of the country. How many military generals, after having made great contributions to the founding of the country, thought that their ambitions had been fulfilled, and that they had reached the ultimate level of wealth and glory in this life."
"The world..." Someone looked at the map a few times and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is joking."
"Wei Guogong, this map was given by someone else. It's difficult to state the details clearly. As for the authenticity..." Zhu Biao pointed to a gold mine icon in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty on the map. "Can you see this mark?
?The gold mine marked here has not been discovered by ancestors for thousands of years. However, after taking back Liaodong, my father sent Jin Yiwei to investigate near this place."
"Why do I see on this map... the resources and minerals marked in some places are densely packed, even more so than in China?"
Even now, many people feel that this is the end of their lives and there is nothing left to continue fighting for.
"The reason why I show you this picture today is to let you know that the so-called contribution to the founding of the country is nothing more than this!" Lao Zhu's voice was like thunder, exploding over the heads of the nobles. "The rewards we can give you are far away.
It’s more than just this title!”
"Before, when you followed us to found the country, you were just regaining the old land of our ancestors of the Han family. What you took back was the family property that our ancestors already had in the past. What's so arrogant about it?"
"If we can establish a country overseas and bring all the world and nations into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, then we, the people of this group, will be the heroes that our ancestors and future generations will all give thumbs up and praise!"
