Xu Da finally saw the map that Zhu Yuanzhang had told him about.

The territory was clearly demarcated, and every fjord along the coast was clearly depicted on it, and the main places were also listed on it.

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

And the second reaction was: Can the Ministry of War draw this map?

Apart from anything else, if there was a similar detailed map of Liaodong, I believe that the annihilation of the remnant Yuan would be twice as effective with half the effort.

And there was no need for a detailed map. The map in the Beiping government office that he had used for many years and constantly supplemented was like a child's sketch compared to the simplified version of the map on the light 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 Hall were speechless for a moment. This was the first time they saw the territory of the Ming Dynasty clearly. Although they didn't know how big it was in the world, an inexplicable feeling spread in their chests.

"This is our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were full of pride. He drove out the Hu Yuan and established the Ming Dynasty, and restored the Chinese clothing. This territory was the best explanation of his achievements.

But soon, after looking north, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, or even Zhu Biao, they all found something wrong with the northern territory. Li Wenzhong asked directly:

"Will the Hu Yuan finally be destroyed? When will our Ming Dynasty be complete!"

Fortunately, the unhurried voice of the young man soon solved this 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 of 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 temporarily calmed the eastern seas of the Ming Dynasty.

In the eighth year of Ming Guzong, the Kingdom of Korea, under the order of the Ming Dynasty, sent troops to sweep the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes, and once again established the peace of the northern borders of Ming and Korea.

When Ming Baozong 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 Baozong, Li Chaocheng, an envoy of the Kingdom of Korea, 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 only a hundred and fifty years later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi shouted "Conquer all the four hundred states of the Ming Dynasty", intending to use Korea as a springboard to invade the Ming Dynasty and provoke war again.

Relying on the bird guns traded with the Portuguese, Japan occupied half of Korea in just a few months, and finally prompted the Ming Dynasty to send troops to destroy Japan's ambitions.

Although Japan was defeated, it still successfully plundered a large amount of the essence of the civilized world from the Kingdom of Korea, including the re-edited and printed "Xiyuan Jilu". 】

"Cricket Sect? Fort Sect?"

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

But on the other hand, this emperor's title... is it sure that it is not randomly made up?

However, for Zhu Biao, being reminded by the light curtain, he remembered the matter in front of him:

"Please preside over the compilation and revision of Xiyuan Jilu, so that those absurd and false cases can be eliminated as soon as possible."

This is not that Zhu Biao wants to covet this false name, but the light curtain said it clearly. If there is no person of weight to support it, the compiler may not dare to disobey the words of the ancient sage.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection to this, and even thought that this was what his eldest son should do:

"Just find some desolate graves to count the bones, and record the number as it should be."

This was finalized casually, and Li Shanchang also tried to think about the names of the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty:

"Cricket means crickets, which means to make money and pray for good luck. This name may be to boast about the ability of our Ming emperor to recuperate and pacify the people."

"Bao means to protect, and this emperor ascended the throne and achieved the peak of the Ming Dynasty. This name may be a metaphor for our Ming Dynasty to protect the surrounding territories?"

The emperor of Ming Dynasty thought about it and smiled:

"The great censor is talented, worthy of our Li Xiaohe!"

Empress Ma hesitated to speak, and now she regretted not telling Chongba about the stupidity of Bao Zong before.

I thought Bao Zong was just an ordinary stupid emperor before, but it turned out to be a good thing. She understood it after thinking about it. He was actually a stupid person who made the Ming Dynasty go from prosperity 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 territory map, and his mother was worried, so he simply went to his fifth brother, and saw that his fifth brother had written a lot of words on the blank pages of the book.

What chemistry, what reaction, what sulfide, etc., it was dizzy to look at.

Zhu Su was kind-hearted, and seeing his younger brother's eyes full of confusion, he simply smiled and explained:

"I don't understand these, but I always feel that there may be a big secret in it."

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

"Who is this Toyotomi Hideyoshi? How dare he talk like this?"

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

Before the nephew finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily:

"Wait until you finish reading it."

Xu Da didn't say anything, just stared at the forces in the north marked as Wala in a trance.

There is neither Mongolia nor Yuan on this map. Was it his achievement?

[After the Xiyuan Jilu was looted and brought to 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, the French officially translated and published it, and then scholars continued to write papers or officially publish it.

In 1853, the British medical community also began to pay attention to Xiyuan Jilu, and wrote papers one after another. In 1875, the British translation was officially published, and in 1924, the Royal Society of Medicine of the United Kingdom published the whole book.

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

In the 1950s, the book "History of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Examination" compiled by the authoritative Soviet forensic scientist Chelifakov printed Song Ci's portrait at the beginning of the volume, honoring 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 with human history. 】

Dai Sigong watched the book Xiyuan Jilu leave the Chinese territory on the map, first to Korea and then to Japan, and then to the place called Europe by ship, and then spread everywhere, accompanied by various translations and publications.

Dai Sigong was really envious, especially the final simple but profound evaluation of Guangmu:

As human history reaches the end of time, although it is a bit straightforward, it seems to read more weight than the boasting of "bright for thousands of years".

So Dai Sigong couldn't help but look at the general next to him. For a military official, what kind of achievement can 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 resurrected, and pondered for a long time.

"The situation of the new China is not easy either."
