Chapter 412

"Oh, is this the moon? Why did it become a stone ball? There are pits on it..."

"It doesn't look bright, where is the Moon Palace? Hey, Qinghe Zhenren, Chang'e's allusion to the moon is Taoist, right? Why is the moon empty and nothing?"

"There are so many stars in the sky, and they are densely watched. Where is this Ziwei Emperor Star?"

Listening to the words and discussions between the old nun and the monk Yongxin, Chen Dexing stood up with a smile and strode to the side of the huge ball in the center of the yard. This was a globe. According to Chen Dexing's memory, he drew seven continents and five oceans and all the large and small islands in his previous life. The location may not be completely correct, but in this time and space, it is undoubtedly a unique treasure.

Originally, he planned to regard it as the highest secret and continue to keep it for a while. But now, in order to further spread scientific superstitious ideas and push himself to the supreme demigod, he made this priceless treasure public in advance.

Unlike simply sitting, the knowledge on the globe can be verified through navigation exploration.

Even the debater who speaks of lotus flowers can't tell the vast new continent that has been lost in millions of square kilometers of Oceania!

The discovery of the New World, in the history of Europe, can be said to have given birth to the Age of Discovery and Capitalism! If the gold and silver of the New World were not used to stimulate European industry and commerce, capitalism might not have developed within a hundred years.

If such a great geographical discovery and so many opportunities for wealth were in the hands of the Tiandaoism, then the Tiandaoism would undoubtedly become a sect that can compete with Confucianism. Moreover, the wealth of the two continents emerged suddenly, and it would definitely stimulate China's industrial, commercial and sailing activities to the extreme in the shortest time!

Now it is the 13th century, not the Qing Dynasty, which makes people feel bored and breathless. As far as Chen Dexing knows, the scholars and officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were not far away from commercial activities and did not discriminate against merchants. It can even be said that the Southern Song Dynasty was a society where Confucian and merchants were inseparable from family affairs.

If a great era of navigation and colonial era could appear in China in the 13th century, the social changes brought about will be enough to eliminate the zombie-like declining dynasty of the Song Dynasty!

"Everyone!" Chen Dexing coughed and attracted everyone's gaze. "I've seen it, so now I can say it! Please look at this ball."

Chen Dexing reached out to pat the globe, asked with a smile: "Everyone, do you know what this is?"

He asked himself. Seeing that no one answered, he smiled and said, "This is a model of the earth! The earth under our feet is a huge ball with a circumference of 80,000 miles, just like the moon in the sky... they are all balls floating in the endless void!"

This was said without saying anything, but it seemed like a layer of stone stirring up a thousand layers of waves, which immediately made the courtyard filled with the three masters of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism lively like a vegetable market.

"How is it possible! How can the ground be a ball? If the ground is a ball, what should the person standing below do?"

"Nothing nonsense, the sky is round and the earth is round for thousands of years. How can it be round? If the earth is round, will it be square or not that day be square?"

"King Ming, where did you hear this set of words? Could it be that Taiyi God said it?"

Chen Dexing gently raised one palm, and the voices of discussion suddenly became much smaller. He continued to say something that made people fall in shock.

"The sphere with a circumference of 80,000 miles is called the Earth. It is divided into seven continents and five oceans. The area of ​​the ocean accounts for 70% of the earth's surface. To the east of our location is the largest ocean on the earth. It is called the Pacific Ocean. The continent where we are located is called Shenzhou (Asia). It is located across the Pacific Ocean from our Shenzhou and is more than 12,000 miles away. It is called Mingzhou. Mingzhou is divided into north and south, and its land is dozens of times that of the Song Dynasty. The land is fertile, rich in resources, and sparsely populated..."

"…………………………The south of Shenzhou is the Southern Ban Islands, with tens of thousands of islands. It is scattered with hot climates and wilderness, but it is rich in spices and rice. There is also a continent in the south of Nanban. It is surrounded by oceans, so it is named Oceania. Its land is mostly deserted and has a small population, but the land is several times that of the Song Dynasty, and its products are also abundant."

"...These two continents are the chosen lands of the people of China. I should use the law of Xia monarchy (meaning that the upper class is Chinese and the lower class is all the barbarians), and enfeoff the country of Xia. They will spend their whole life to incorporate them into the world of China. This is the whole world, and is the king's land. The shores of the land are the king's ministers!"

Chen Dexing said in a whisper, saying that all the geography knowledge that everyone knows in later generations. However, in this era, the masters of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism seemed to be like the book of heaven.

"Ming Wang, what you said is true?"

"King of Han, are you talking nonsense?"

"You have been to a place thousands of miles away?"

Everyone asked.

"I haven't been there," Chen Dexing replied with a smile, "I haven't sent anyone to it!"

Everyone believes this. How long has Chen Dexing been rising? It takes one or two years to go thousands of miles away. Two years ago, Chen Dexing was still the leader of the Song Dynasty, so how could he have the strength to send people to travel more than 10,000 miles away? Moreover, there is no ship in the Song Dynasty that can sail more than 10,000 miles in a row at the sea, right? How much food and fresh water should be prepared?

Wen Tianxiang couldn't bear it anymore when he heard Chen Dexing say this. He suddenly slapped the desk in front of him, stood up and said, "Chen Qingzhi, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "Those are things that I knew in a certain previous life!"

"Absurd!" Wen Tianxiang said angrily, "This is pretending to be a god and deceiving the world!"

Lu Xiufu, who was also a Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty, was also angry and shouted: "The King of Han, I am a dignified overlord. How could he speak nonsense and say such unfounded nonsense? Are you not afraid of laughing at the world?"

‘Will it really make fun of the world?’ Jia Sidao sat upright and looked at Chen Dexing with great doubt in his heart. He watched Chen Dexing constantly come up with strange inventions and systems, and then with the help of these inventions, the system became bigger step by step. A young man in his twenties could figure out so many things, which was weird enough to think about it!

"Wouldn't the lonely king laugh at the world as you wish?" Chen Dexing said honestly, "It's better to have a bet!"

"How to fight?" Lu Xiufu frowned and asked.

"The Lone King will send four large sailboats to go east for ten thousand miles, land on Mingzhou, and establish a stronghold. If you have the courage, you can go with the ship and see the Mingzhou continent with your own eyes!"

"Hmph, traveling ten thousand miles apart must be a journey without going back!" Lu Xiufu waved his robe sleeve and refused. He didn't believe in the Mingzhou Continent at all, nor did he believe that Chen Dexing was the reincarnation of the Ming King. How could he make a joke about his own life?

"Someone go!"

As soon as Lu Xiufu finished speaking, someone answered loudly. Lu Xiufu looked in the voice and it turned out to be Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang looked at Chen Dexing with bright eyes, "Isn't it just a journey of thousands of miles? Traveling thousands of miles is nowhere to be as good as reading thousands of books! So what if you just walk a certain family?"

"Okay!" Chen Dexing bowed to Wen Tianxiang and said with a smile, "Brother Wenshan will be famous in history when he goes here!"

From now on, it will not be Columbus’ discovery of the new continent, but Wen Tianxiang’s discovery of the new continent!

"Who else is willing to go to Mingzhou continent?" Chen Dexing's eyes swept through the chaotic yard, trying to find the second "Columbus".

"He is going too!" The old nun suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the fat-headed and big-eared monk Yongxin and said, "Abbot Yongxin of Shaolin Temple is going to go too!"

"Ah..." The monk was stunned and looked back at the master of the destruction. The master's face darkened. The monk hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I want to go too... Isn't it just more than 10,000 miles? I also sent Hongyuan to go to India to obtain scriptures!"

Chen Dexing glanced at the chubby monk and said in a deep voice: "Monkey Yongxin wants to go to Tianzhu, then go... Go to Mingzhou first, then go to the Atlantic Ocean from Nanmingzhou, and then enter Tianzhu Ocean from southern Africa, and then you can go to Tianzhu. However, if Zhu Buddhism has been destroyed today, it is not possible for monks to go to Tianzhu to obtain scriptures."

Monk Yongxin clasped his hands together and said, "Then monk, I will go to India to promote Buddhism!"

Chen Dexing nodded, not expecting that this chubby monk who was secretly eating meat was quite ambitious. He glanced at Basiba again and said with a smile: "Dharma King Sakya, did you Tibetan Secretariat not want to go to India to spread the Dharma?"

Basiba respectfully clasped his hands and smiled, "I am a monk with limited magic power, and I can only save Uszang, and I am a monk who can do this."

"Since that's the case, then... Yingniang." Chen Dexing called Mo Yingniang. She had always been secretly responsible for the Tiandao Cult's global inspection plan. She was in charge of the orders and ordering large ocean-going sailboats, organizing and training expedition teams, etc.

"I'm here." Mo Yingniang strode forward and stood beside Chen Dexing.

Chen Dexing pointed to Wen Tianxiang and Monk Yongxin, "These two and their servants will also participate in the voyage... How is the fleet prepared? When can we set off?"

"Four large ships have been purchased and are being modified. You can set out in summer, go to Japan first, make up for the year near Kamakura, and then go all the way east. If everything goes well, you can go to Mingzhou on the 45th, and you can come back this winter and next spring."

Chen Dexing smiled and said, "Okay, it can prove the continent in one year... This is much better than talking about the Tao." He looked at Jia Si and said, "Ping Zhang Gong, why not make the exploration of Mingzhou public to the world?"

It is a gamble to be made public! If Mingzhou (America) really exists, Chen Dexing's divine character will establish evidence that is at least twenty times larger than the Song Dynasty, which no one can deny!

Once the divine character is established, it has great benefits from the New World, and this Chinese Taoist priest naturally belongs to Chen Dexing. (To be continued.)
