Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 695 Key Figures
Xu Da finally saw the map that Zhu Yuanzhang had once told him about.

The boundaries were clearly demarcated, with every fjord along the coast clearly depicted and the main places listed.

Detailed and rigorous, this was Xu Da's first impression when he saw the map. He could even glimpse a different kind of beauty from it.

The second reaction was: Can the Ministry of War draw this map?
Apart from anything else, if we could have a similarly detailed map of Liaodong, I believe that wiping out the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty would be much easier.

He didn't even need a detailed map. The map in the Beiping government office that he had used for many years and had been constantly supplementing was like a child's sketch compared to the simplified map on the screen.

"This is my Ming Dynasty."

The light screen was huge, so the map was also huge. Zhu Biao needed to lean back slightly to take in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The other people in the Huagai Palace were also speechless for a moment. This was the first time that they clearly saw the territory of the Ming Dynasty where they lived. Although they did not know how big it was in the world, an inexplicable emotion filled their chests.

"This is our Ming Dynasty."

There was an unconcealable pride in Zhu Yuanzhang's words. He drove out the Hu Yuan and established the Ming Dynasty, and restored the Chinese customs. This territory is the best description of his achievements.

But soon, after looking north, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and even Zhu Biao all discovered that something was not right in the northern territory. Li Wenzhong even asked directly:

"Will the Hu Yuan finally be destroyed? When will our Ming Dynasty be fully victorious?"

Fortunately, the young man's unhurried voice quickly solved the doubt.

In the 17th year of Yongle, the Joseon Dynasty launched the Ji Hai Eastern Expedition to eliminate the Japanese pirates entrenched in Tsushima Island.

With the threat from the Ming Dynasty, Japan was worried that the Ming Dynasty would send troops, so it was hesitant about whether to fight against Korea. In the end, the Joseon Dynasty won a great victory and signed the "Guihai Treaty" with Japan, which brought temporary peace to the eastern waters of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eighth year of Emperor Mingzong's reign, the Kingdom of Korea, on the orders of the Ming Dynasty, dispatched troops to wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes, thus re-establishing peace in the northern borders of the Ming Dynasty and Korea.

When Mingbaozong ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty reached its peak.

The territory was relatively stable and the national strength was strong, so cultural exchanges around the Ming Dynasty began to become frequent.

In the third year of the reign of Emperor Baozong, the envoy of the Kingdom of Korea, Li Chaocheng, brought the "Xiyuan Jilu" promulgated in the seventeenth year of Hongwu back to Korea for translation and annotation, and Xiyuan Jilu officially went out of China.

But just 150 years later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi called for "conquering all 400 states of the Ming Dynasty", intending to use Korea as a springboard to invade the Ming Dynasty, thus provoking war again.

Relying on the bird guns obtained through trade with the Portuguese, Japan occupied half of Korea in just a few months, which eventually prompted the Ming Dynasty to send troops to shatter Japan's ambitions.

Although the Japanese were defeated, they still managed to plunder a large amount of the essence of the civilized world from the Kingdom of Korea, including the reprinted "Xiyuan Jilu".

"Cricket Sect? Fort Sect?"

On the one hand, Zhu Biao listened to the young man's voice and was delighted that the Ming Dynasty had finally succeeded and completely wiped out the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty.

But on the other hand, the title of emperor...is it sure that it is not made up at random?
However, for Zhu Biao, the light curtain reminded him of what was happening:
"Please preside over the compilation and revision of the Record of Clearing Injustices, so that those absurd and false cases can be cleared up as soon as possible."

It was not that Zhu Biao wanted to gain this false reputation, but Guangmu had said it clearly: without a person of influence, the compiler would not dare to go against the words of the ancient sages.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection to this and even thought that this was the way his eldest son should be:

"Just find some desolate graves and count the bones. Just count the number as it should be. Record it truthfully."

After casually finalizing the matter, Li Shanchang also tried to figure out the titles of the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty:
"Cricket means cricket, which means to bring wealth and pray for good luck. This name may be used to boast about the ability of our Ming emperor to recuperate and comfort the people." "Fort means to protect, and this emperor ascended the throne and established the Ming Dynasty at its peak. This name may be used to refer to the protection of the surrounding territories of our Ming Dynasty?"

Emperor Ming thought about it for a moment and said with a smile:
"The great judge is so talented, he is worthy of our Li Xiaohe!"

Empress Ma hesitated to speak. Now she regretted not telling Chongba about the unconsciousness of Bao Zong.

Previously, she thought that Bao Zong was just an ordinary incompetent emperor, but it turned out that he was the incompetent who caused the Ming Dynasty to decline?
Among the princes, Zhu Zhen saw that his eldest brother was busy discussing state affairs with his father, his fourth brother was fascinated by the map of the territory, and his mother was worried, so he simply went to his fifth brother, and as a result, he saw that his fifth brother had written a lot of words on the blank pages of the book.

All that chemistry, all that reaction, all that sulfide, it makes me dizzy just looking at it.

Zhu Su was kind-hearted. Seeing his brother's puzzled look, he simply smiled and explained:
"I don't understand these things either, but I feel that there may be a big secret hidden in them."

Big secret, Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up, but in an instant he was attracted by the low roar next to him:

"Who is this crazy Toyotomi Hideyoshi? How dare he speak like that?"

"Your Majesty, I request to be transferred to Laizhou Prefecture..."

Before the nephew could finish, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily:

"Let's wait until we finish watching it."

Xu Da said nothing, but just stared at the forces in the north marked as Oirat in a trance.

There is neither Mongolia nor Yuan Dynasty on this map. Is this his achievement?

[After Xiyuan Ji Lu was looted and brought into Japan, it was translated and published in 1736 and widely circulated in Japan.

Before that, the Portuguese, who maintained trade relations with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, brought the book back to Europe and soon translated and published it.

In 1779, it was officially translated and published in France, and subsequently scholars continued to write papers on it or publish it officially.

In 1853, the British medical community also began to pay attention to Xiyuan Ji Lu and wrote papers on it one after another. In 1875, the British translation was officially published, and in 1924 the Royal Society of Medicine of Britain reprinted the entire book.

The Dutch translation was published in 1863, and the German translation was released in 1908.

In the 20s, the book "History of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Examination" written by the authoritative Soviet forensic scientist Chelifakov printed Song Ci's portrait at the beginning of the volume, respecting him as the world's greatest forensic scientist and the founder of world forensic medicine.

It can be said that as long as human history continues, Song Ci's name is destined to go to the end of time along with human history. 】

Dai Sigong watched on the map that the book "Xiyuan Jilu" left the Chinese territory, first went to Korea and then to Japan, and then sailed across the ocean on a ship to the place called Europe, where it flourished everywhere, and was accompanied by various translations and distributions in between.

Dai Sigong was sincerely envious, especially Guangmu's final simple but profound comment:
As human history comes to the end of time, although it is a bit straightforward, it seems to have more weight when read than boasting of "shaking radiance for thousands of years".

So Dai Sigong couldn't help but look at the General who was conquering the enemy beside him. For a military official, what kind of achievement could be compared with him?

Xu Da's expression was a little solemn. He looked at the map with the timestamp, the unprecedentedly vast foreign country, and the two words "Mongolia" that seemed to have come back to life, and pondered for a long time.

"The situation that New China is in is not easy either."
