Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In fact, Zhao Hao also attaches great importance to this global voyage.

    Fifty years ago, Magellan had already achieved this achievement first.

    And Zhao Hao also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Captain Drake would embark on his second voyage around the world in 1577 AD, the fifth year of Wanli.

    You¡¯re already very depressed if you didn¡¯t reach first place, okay?  How could Zhao Hao let a stinky pirate take away the runner-up spot?

    This voyage also has a lot of practical significance.

    It has been six years since he founded the sect and spread science in the first year of Longqing.  Through Jiangnan Education Group, Jiangnan Newspaper Group, and word of mouth, the Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats had basically heard about what he preached.

    But to be honest, not many people believe it, and not many people are interested.  To be precise, it's because not many people are interested, so not many people believe it.  Because all the scientific knowledge he spread was far beyond common sense.  How many readers are interested in knowledge about cells, the lever principle, the cosine theorem, and physiological hygiene?

    This is completely understandable, because people are interested in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. Even if you bring the Magdeburg Hemisphere Experiment, they will just watch the excitement.

    There is a complete lack of scientific soil. How to cultivate scientific ideas?

    Not to mention, science also challenges ethics For example, people firmly believe that changes in the sky are God's warning to the emperor, but science explains that they are all natural phenomena, and it can also predict solar and lunar eclipses. Don't you think about it and get scared?

    Even many students from Yufeng Academy and Xiangshan Academy may not have a strong belief in science, and they only regard it as a stepping stone to learn the science of imperial examinations.

    So Zhao Hao needed such a global tour that would attract everyone¡¯s attention. He intended to make it a grand tour that would shock the souls of the Chinese people and allow them to open their eyes to the world, so he presented the strongest lineup¡ª¡ª

    The 5,000-material Dafu ship built by Longjiang Bao Shipyard for four years and spent huge sums of money is used as the flagship, supplemented by five new main battleships newly launched by Jiangnan Shipyard as frigates, plus five well-made two-piece  The Qianliu Dafu ship was a supply ship and formed a very combat-effective ocean-going fleet.

    Especially the 5,000-material fortune ship, which Zhao Hao vowed to build when he first went to Longjiang Bao Shipyard that year!

    Because it was the treasure ship that Zheng He took when he sailed to the West, and it is said that it was not the largest at that time.  However, due to the obstruction and sabotage of Liu Daxia and other civil servants, not only did the voyages to the West come to a complete halt, but the best shipyard in the Ming Dynasty could not even build a sea-going ship worth two thousand materials.  Not to mention five thousand materials

    So Zhao Hao swore at that time that he would build a ship and name it the 'Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia', so that it could sail to the West again, travel around the world, resume the Ming Dynasty's navigation career, and nail Liu Daxia to the pillar of shame forever!

    Fortunately, Yang Fan told him that what Liu Daxia burned was only the information of the Ministry of War, and not the treasure shipyard under the management of the Ministry of Industry.  In the warehouse of the treasure shipyard, there are also a complete set of construction drawings of the treasure ship, as well as nautical and star charts for the voyages to the West.

    Of course, Liu Daxia is still a sinner through the ages, because he burned "Zheng He's Mission to the Water", where all the original materials of the Seven Voyages to the West are.  In addition to the nautical and star charts, there were also the emperor's edicts, fleet organization, lists and the most important navigation logs, accounts, etc., all of which were burned.

    The nautical charts left at the treasure shipyard can only guide the navigation route, while the star charts are used for trimming the routes.  Only the logbook will tell you the true sea conditions along the way, and the dangers and difficulties you will encounter during the voyage It is a precious treasure that has been accumulated little by little with countless lives and decades.

    For example, this time, if there was a logbook, Lin Feng and Zhang Xiaojing might have been willing to spend more time sailing along the coast if they knew that this voyage was so dangerous.  Instead of following the route of the previous six voyages to the Western Ocean, leaving the Strait of Malacca and heading directly west to the Lion Country of Ceylon.

    So Liu Daxia is still a sinner through the ages!

    ??~~

    So, in October of the sixth year of Longqing, when this huge ship with 5,000 materials was launched into the water, Zhao Hao insisted on naming it the 'Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia'!

    This incident caused quite a stir at the time, because the displacement of a 5,000-ton ship was about 1,600 tons.  It already belongs to the same class as the world's largest sailing ship of the same era, the Hanseatic League's 'L¨¹beck Eagle'.

    Of course, the latter has a displacement of about 2,000-3,000 tons, which is much larger than the "Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia".  But there is no way, who made Ming Dynasty lose a hundred years?  Being surpassed by others is totally deserved.

    However, in Ming Dynasty, the launch of such a huge ship still caused quite a stir.  If it had been when Gao Gong was in charge, the Paw Patrol Team would definitely bite into it with excitement and shoot Mr. Zhao all over his head.

    But now, my father-in-law is in charge of the countryHaving no choice, after Zhao Hao released a thousand old and weak hostages and promised to return all the hostages on the day the ocean fleet returned, he finally signed the unequal treaty.

    ??~~

    Because of the good publicity, the entire Ming Dynasty knew that Jiangnan Group was going to organize a voyage.

    The gentry of the Ming Dynasty were extremely idle and loved to travel. How could they miss this opportunity to travel abroad for the first time in 140 years?

    The saying of high emotional intelligence is that the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were full of curiosity.  The world is so big, and they have long wanted to go out and see it.

    They have long been full of doubts and curiosity about Zhao Hao¡¯s claim that the earth is round.  Many people want to confirm it for themselves, but they don¡¯t know that if they go all the way west, they can reach Dongguan, then Malacca, then Tianzhu to Africa, Europe, America, and finally return to the starting point.

    So in the past year, more than 10,000 people signed up. After layers of screening by the organizing committee, 300 ship passengers who were young and strong, suitable for going to sea, close to science, evenly distributed in their place of origin, and with high social reputation were finally selected.  Among them was Liu Daxia¡¯s great-grandson Liu Yishou!

    Of course, people are there to criticize.  Mr. Zhao was so open-minded that he happily allowed him to board the ship.

    There is nothing more shocking than Liu Daxia¡¯s descendants admitting that he was a sinner through the ages

    In addition, there were 300 researchers sent by the Xishan Island Research Center, Yufeng Academy, Kunshan Agricultural College, various group companies, and the Tamna Island Religious Association, each of whom came on board with different topics.

    Among them is Xuelang. He has fully realized the power of the Chechidan sect, and mainly wants to travel to the west to see his opponent's lair.  I also learned from my colleagues in Tianfang Sect and Hinduism.

    So after more than a year of careful preparation, this huge fleet with countless destinations finally completed preparations for its voyage in the summer of the first year of Wanli.
