At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 173 The World Beyond the Sui Territory

This is Cui Ji's first day in Wanmin City.

Then I heard countless legends about the lord.

From Fang Xuanling, who is in charge of internal affairs, down to a ten-year-old child, they all seem to respect this lord extremely.

When Fang Xuanling introduced Wanmin City to him, he even regarded Xu Mu as a heavenly man in his words.

He always thought that the boy he saw in Yangcheng...

It's just an ordinary anti-second generation in Wanmin City.

In particular, this epoch-making drawing method, intuitive and precise, surprised him even more.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally came back to his senses, because he saw another unfinished picture on the other wall of the hall.

With just one glance, he could tell that this map was the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Covering all states and counties in the world.

It's just that there is obviously a problem with the scale of this map. All the generals of the Sui Dynasty actually only account for...one-fifteenth of the area of ​​the total map.

He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Is this drawing wrong?"

You must know that Dayu established the tripod of Kyushu and the center of the world, which is the capital of the country.

Since then, the Central Plains has been regarded as the center of the world and the most fertile place in the world.

To the south is wildness, to the north is Beidi, to the west is Xirong, and to the east is the boundless sea...

"Our Great Sui territory has a wide range of radiation. Except for the Western Regions occupied by the East Turks and the Northeast occupied by Goguryeo, almost all the territories in the world belong to our Great Sui..."

He stepped forward, touched Fang Yizhi's little head, and began to teach.

After seeing Fang Yizhi's talent and works, he really wanted to pass on all he had learned.

After all, he is over sixty years old, and he has information about the mountains and rivers, human customs and customs of hundreds of counties and thousands of counties in the Sui Dynasty.

In addition to leaving a copy of "Regional Atlas", he also wanted someone to inherit his mantle.

It’s just that Fang Yizhi rolled his eyes honestly after listening to his words, “Teacher, you’re wrong, my lord said that besides the Sui Dynasty, there are endless territories, there is land to the east of the East China Sea, and land to the west of the Western Regions The same is true..."

As he talked, Fang Yi went straight to his unfinished drawing, and briefly introduced the "truth of the world" that Xu Mu told him.

These remarks completely overturned Cui Ji's cognition.

He opened his mouth in disbelief.

"My lord said that in the west of the Western Regions, there are kingdoms like Byzantium, which are powerful, but one day, my iron cavalry in Wanmin City will eventually wipe out there!"

"And here, Tianzhu, Buddhism was introduced from then on. My lord calls it India. In the future, we will also capture them and drink horses from the Ganges River..."

……

Fang Yizhi's mind was very simple, and he said all the things that Xu Mu had said to him alone before.

Fang Xuanling had never heard these words.

So not only Cui Ji, Fang Xuanling and his wife were also stunned.

Looking at my son in disbelief...

These remarks, to be honest, broke their inherent cognition.

Fang Xuanling wanted to reprimand, but when he thought that these words were spoken by the lord, he could only listen patiently.

Only Cui Ji, listen, listen, his heart is full of emotions, indescribable.

He had traveled in the Sui Dynasty and knew all the prefectures and counties in the Sui Dynasty like the back of his hand.

Been to the East China Sea, to the Western Regions, to Jiaozhi, to Goguryeo...

He also once doubted whether the world is really only this big.

until today...

Xu Mu's theory, after passing through the mouth of a ten-year-old child, made him deaf and shocked.

"Whether this is true or not is still inconclusive, but... if you want to verify..."

Cui Ji muttered, lost in thought.

If you want to verify it, it is actually very difficult.

First of all, to the north, it is necessary to pass through the range of East Turkistan, which is now in full swing.

To the south is a wild land, blocked by countless small wild countries, and full of miasma.

To the west, the way was also blocked by the Western Turks.

To the east, there is a vast sea.

At least, this exploration cannot be carried out until Wanmin City has unified the world.

This exploration, even at the peak of Sui's strength, could not be explored.

Because the Turks are like a barb, blocking them all the time, staring at the Central Plains.

To be honest, Cui Ji had little confidence in Wanmin City's ability to rule the world.

A sneaky force hidden in the deep mountains and old forests has only 10 people, so how many troops can there be?
How could it be possible?

There is no way to unify the world, let alone defeat the Turks and explore north and west.

Finally, he left Fang Xuanling's house with mixed feelings.

As the director of the Geography Department, Fang Xuanling assigned him a house in a...community in Wanmin City.

It is located on the first floor, because considering that he is over 60 and has inconvenient legs and feet.

At the end of Cui Ji, Fang Xuanling turned around and stared at Fang Yizhi: "What you said just now is really what the lord said? Didn't you just make up nonsense?"

Being questioned by his father, Fang Yi had an aggrieved expression on his face and curled his lips: "My lord said it all, and my lord asked me to draw a map of the world first, what will I give to you later... The generals of the Whampoa Military Academy keep these places in mind."

Only then did Fang Xuanling feel relieved.

He has almost blindly worshiped Xu Mu now.

Xu Mu has used countless prophetic predictions to prove that...there are people in the world who are born with knowledge.

Since the lord said so, it is not wrong.

Moreover, the idea of ​​the Whampoa Military Academy was also proposed by the Lord not long ago, and he ordered Lao Yang to start rushing to build a military academy.

It is specially used for those military generals to train and give lectures.

And the role of this world map is also reflected.

In terms of the scope of the seven continents, in fact, the territory owned by the Sui Dynasty is only one-fifteenth of the world's territory.

Even after the world is settled, the generals of Wanmin City will still have countless contributions to contend for in the future.

Of course, Goguryeo must be destroyed!

This matter has become the unanimous consensus of Wanmin City!

……

This was Cui Ji's first night in Wanmin City.

Unexpectedly, he slept soundly.

Although this city is not as good as Luoyang now, it gives him a feeling of being alive and thriving.

Especially the soft cotton quilt, which is softer and warmer than his brocade quilt.

After waking up in the morning, Cui Ji ate a bowl of soup and cakes at the entrance of the community for breakfast, then walked slowly on crutches to his duty.

Along the way, he was still thinking about the huge territory map from yesterday.

In addition to Kyushu, there are even Kyushu...

"what?"

A surprised sound sounded from behind him.

"Cui Zurui?"

Immediately afterwards, Cui Ji heard someone calling his name, and couldn't help turning his head.

Looking at it this way, there is a sense of a world away.

"You... you, you are... Pei Hongda?" Cui Ji was stunned, unexpectedly meeting an old acquaintance here.

The one who called him was Pei Ju, the current director of the Intelligence Department of Wanmin City.

Compared with Cui Ji's full of thoughts, Pei Ju's face is full of joy, and he walks very briskly.

In three or two steps, he walked up to Cui Ji, and his eyes met.

For a moment, both of them were deeply moved.

Two bad old men, just standing at the door of the Lord's Mansion.

Relatively silent.

The two of them used to be ministers in the same hall.

Pei Ju came from the Pei family in Hedong, and he was quite senior in the Pei family, and he was related by marriage to him in the Cui family of Boling in the past dynasties.

The two races are relatively familiar.

The two were even close friends.

It's just that after Cui Ji compiled the "Regional Maps", he returned home from illness and resigned from office, while Pei Ju was still an official in the court.

After a long time, Cui Ji sighed and asked, "I thought you were killed by Yu Wenhuaji and Sima Dekan, why did you appear here?"

Speaking of this, Pei Ju blushed suddenly.

He was drugged and kidnapped by Xu Mu because of his greed for giant fish...

And in order to buy that fishing boat, he still owes Xu Mu a whole lot of debt.

Every month's salary was withheld by Fang Xuanling, which was equivalent to... doing free work for Xu Mu.

"It's a long story, but it's you, Zu Rui, haven't you been in Luoyang all the time? Why are you here?" Pei Ju asked, changing the subject.

Speaking of this, Cui Ji also began to blush.

That damned Wang Shichong!

He almost...wouldn't be guaranteed at the end of the festival!

Cui Ji let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile, "Being able to come to Wanmin City is better than being caught by that thief Wang Shichong—"

It's just that before he finished speaking, Pei Ju's face changed drastically, as if he saw something terrifying, he hurriedly pulled him and walked into the Lord's Mansion building quickly.

"Hongdae, why are you so flustered?"

Cui Ji was a little confused.

It wasn't until... Pei Ju brought him into the intelligence department and closed the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come and take a look, who is that person?" Pei Ju smiled wryly, walked to the glass window, and motioned him to look down.

Cui Ji was confused, walked forward, and the moment his eyes fell, he was almost dumbfounded.

Almost slumped on the ground.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

He turned his head abruptly and looked at Pei Ju.

Pei Ju quickly covered his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty was hanged to death by Sima Dekan long ago!"

Cui Ji recalled Sima Dekan's rebellion in Jiangdu Palace some time ago...

Everyone in the world knows that Yang Guang is dead.

Especially now, in Luoyang, Wang Shichong has ascended the throne...

It's just that the appearance of that person is exactly the same as His Majesty.

He used to be a courtier with Pei Ju, and he was very familiar with His Majesty's appearance, so he thought he would not admit his mistake.

"The world...is there such a similar person?" He couldn't help muttering.

Pei Ju looked speechless.

Honest people are simple and easy to deceive.

"Speaking of which, the old man also doesn't believe that there are people so similar to His Majesty in the world, and even took the initiative to sidestep him."

Pei Ju recalled that when he first came to Wanmin City, he saw Yang Guang's expression for the first time, which was actually no different from Cui Ji's.

Further back, after a while.

He tried, as the director of the intelligence department, approached Yang Guang, insinuated, and asked some things.

The results obtained were completely beyond his expectations.

Because of this, he became more and more in awe of Wanmincheng and Xu Mu's methods.
