Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 827 Thin Chapter
On Wang Xiu's first day in office, everyone thought he was going to make a move, and Zhang Qiyuan would be the first unlucky guy.What's intriguing is that he didn't deal with any government affairs, didn't attack Zhang Qiyuan, and didn't make many eye-catching gestures. Instead, he personally met Bo Zhang, who is known as one of the nine sons of the king's family and the most low-key boy.

"Oh, Brother Six came here long ago to hold a big banquet and punish him with three cups." Wang Xiu looked at the weather-beaten Bo Zhang, really ecstatic, took the other's hand, and shouted recklessly Laughing, his eyes are extremely gentle.

Bo Zhang was a little shy, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Sir, it's only been a few years since you left, and it's a shame to be so grand."

Wang Xiu glanced sideways at Bozhang, with a particularly playful expression on her face, and said with a smile, "Grand, if this is grand, I don't know how to receive you. Anyway, the historian will come over tomorrow, and the rest is up to you. But these three cups are unavoidable."

"Mister also knows that in the vast sea, a glass of wine and a piece of meat is a luxury, it's too much to drink!" Bo Zhang withdrew his hand, shaking his head and smiling wryly.

"Nonsense, a pure man who cuts through thorns and waves, is he still afraid of drinking?" Wang Xiu was really excited. He flicked his sleeves and sat back on his seat, his mouth was closed all the time, that was a happy laugh.

Bo Zhang sat down under Wang Xiu, his attitude was quite respectful, but he was very calm, with a bronze face that was scorched by the sun, full of incomparable firmness.

Wang Xiu opened a piece of silk, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The silk was a route, or a road map of the sea.

A curve made of arrows, twists and turns from top to bottom, making his eyes look straight, surpassing the drawing of the South China Sea, crossing layers of islands, that piece of natural and innocent continent, clearly the future Australia, silk Boshang was marked as Nanzhou.His hands were trembling slightly, and he could hardly express it in words.

It is very regrettable that the arrow headed westward from Nanzhou and arrived at a large island, which is Madagascar, which is also the marked Huozhou. The point of the arrow's return turned out to be the Cape of Good Hope, which was marked as Taozhou.

He could barely express in words that if Bo Zhang continued his voyage, he might be able to make it around the world, or even reach the countries of Western Europe in the Middle Ages.

What would it be like to appear in a fort, a country, a Western European country where humans and animals live together, with the peerless and stunning majesty of the Great Song Fuchuan?He couldn't help but sighed sincerely: "Brother Six has worked really hard for the past few years! It is worthy of being the pioneer No. 1."

"Living up to my husband's expectations, I have proved my master's academics. I have compared them one by one. You are No. 1 in the world." Bo Zhang's tone was particularly sincere.

Indeed, in the second year when Wang Xiu knew Hangzhou, he led a small fleet consisting of three lucky ships and five transshipment ships of various colors. According to Wang Xiu's history of geography, he set off from the Ming Dynasty to conduct a "scientific journey". trip".

It cannot but be said that he was lucky, he finally made his way back to his hometown, but it was also tragic. There were eight big ships when he went there, but only two came back, and there were only [-] people left from more than [-] people, which can be described as tragic. best of all.

How can Wang Xiu know the hardships, the hidden reef that swallows the ship, the Cape of Good Hope with strong wind and waves, and the Indian Ocean where the undercurrent is everywhere, it is really close to death.

Bo Zhang's trip was his idea, and even if it was voluntary, it cannot conceal a heroic act.

"How about Nanzhou?" He is very concerned about this continent, which has never been landed in the history books.

Bo Zhang pondered for a while, and said succinctly: "The journey is not difficult, and you can get island supplies along the way, but the sea is still dangerous and unpredictable."

"Where you're going, are the islands and reefs marked?" Wang Xiu was excited.

"Six or seven times out of ten, as long as it is on the sea, the route is easy to go, but the wind and waves are too strong, and a ship sank there, with hundreds of brothers! Bozhang's expression is gloomy, and there is a bit of panic, obviously he is right. The memory of the danger is still fresh, but there is a sea of ​​devils! Thinking about it makes people hard to let go.

Wang Xiu could understand Bo Zhang's mood, anyone who saw the big ship sinking and his brother Pao Ze being swallowed by the waves would not feel good.But what can he say?The comforting words were too fake, and the fierce words were too empty, so he simply skipped over them and said loudly: "The dead are gone, we must follow in their footsteps and keep moving forward. Sooner or later, we will walk around this world." One lap."

"Sir." Bo Zhang is a pure adventurer. Only constant challenges can arouse his desire. Wang Xiu's words undoubtedly excited him.Indeed, he failed to achieve his goal. My husband said that the world is round. The so-called roundness of the sky and the earth is just a short walk, far from reaching his goal.

Similarly, he believed deeply in Wang Xiu, but also maintained strong doubts. It was simply a complex of contradictions. The adoring trust and adventurous pursuit of knowledge made him choose to prove right or wrong by himself.

It has to be said that Wang Xiu's internal map has been confirmed by him one-sixth. Except for some discrepancies, the two maps are almost completely consistent, which greatly boosted his confidence. He decided to go down the road and see See what the world is like.

"It's a pity that when we arrived in Taozhou, the wind and waves were so strong that we could hardly move forward, and the boats couldn't wear out any more, so we could only return with regret." Bo Zhang looked regretful. Striving hard doesn't mean recklessness, he regrets but not regrets.

Wang Xiu didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, Bozhang was no different from a great navigational discovery, even though he had his map as a support.The road must continue. Whether it is Nanzhou or Huozhou, it is an undeveloped place, especially Nanzhou, it is simply a land given by heaven, and he must not let it go.

The great voyage discovery should have been a great honor for the Chinese people. What he has to do is to continue to encourage, use his strength to support the development, and take a successful step.

"No rush, no rush, with today's achievements, that's a good start." Wang Xiu's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was absolutely confident in establishing the territory of the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties.

However, what can be left for future generations just by establishing the territory of the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties?It's nothing more than copying the feats of others. He wants to create an unprecedented prosperity, an ocean era that may be separatist disputes, but the Han family is all over the place.

Even if the reincarnation of the Great Song's rise and fall comes and the day comes to an end, even if the barbarians from the north really sweep the mainland, at least the Han family will not break the lineage, and even have the chance to persevere and counterattack.

"Sir, have you made a big move?" Bo Zhang keenly grasped the taste between the words, and looked at Wang Xiu excitedly.

This gaze is like staring at a piece of delicious yokan, or like a sailor who has been sailing for a year, seeing a beautiful young lady at the port.
