Chapter 797: Seven Continents, Sixth Grand Ancestor [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe In Full]
After briefly introducing Europe, Yan Changqing then wrote the words "African Continent" under the world map "European Continent", and then introduced:
"This continent beneath the European continent, which I temporarily named the African continent, covers an area of approximately 30 million square kilometers!"
"There are a few dynasty empires on it, such as the Sultanate of Ajulam, the Sultanate of Kilwa, and the Solomon Dynasty."
“All the rest survive in the form of local tribes, such as the Northwestern Bantu tribes, the Bafur tribe, etc., and they mainly make a living by hunting and collecting wild plants.
"The overall level of social civilization is very low. Compared with our Ming Dynasty, the level of social civilization on the African continent is roughly equivalent to our Shang, Zhou and Pre-Qin periods.
There is nothing particularly good to introduce about the African continent. During this period, most people in Africa lived together in tribal forms. Only a few Africans entered the feudal Nukang dynasty.
The overall social civilization is basically still in the stage of Yuanshi tribal slavery society and Yuanshi religious belief society, which can be said to be very backward.
But this is normal. Let alone Africa, the remaining continents are not much better.
In the current period of time, in the entire world, the countries that can truly be regarded as having a higher level of social civilization are the Ming Dynasty on the Asian continent and those countries on the European continent.
Then, Yan Changqing wrote [North American Continent] and [South American Continent] on the two continents on the upper and lower right side of the world map, and then introduced:
"I temporarily named the two continents on the right the North American continent and the South American continent respectively."
"The North American continent has an area of approximately 24 million square kilometers, and the South American continent has an area of approximately 18 million square kilometers."
"Whether it is the North American continent or the South American continent, the level of social civilization is still low, even lower than that of the African continent."
"At least there are several slave dynasty countries on the African continent, while the North and South American continents are still basically living together in the form of tribes."
"However, although the social civilization of North and South America is relatively low, the various crops they produce are very valuable."
“For example, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn that are popular in the Ming Dynasty, these three high-yielding food crops, are originated from the South American continent and the North American continent!
After hearing Yan Changqing's last words, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all stared at the North American continent and South American continent on the world map.
A continent rich in potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn!
Although there is no shortage of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn in the Ming Dynasty, how can the land that can grow high-yielding foods such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn be worse?!!
It should even be said that the land that can grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn must be excellent, excellent land. Otherwise, how could it breed high-yielding grains with an output of 30 to 50 dan per mu!
And the meaning of Yan Changqing's words just now is that it is obvious that in addition to high-yielding grains such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, the North and South American continents also have other equally valuable crops!
Just two words, want!
Yan Changqing ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes with fiery eyes, and then wrote [Oceania] on the small continent at the bottom of the world map, then circled [Oceania] with a pen, and then said:
"The main continent of Oceania, I temporarily named it Australia, has an area of approximately 7.7 million square kilometers."
"If you add in some other affiliated islands around Australia, then the entire Oceania covers an area of about nine million square kilometers."
"The level of social civilization in Australia is also low. At present, it is basically still in the survival mode of the Yuanshi tribe. Even the slave dynasty has not developed [mainly making a living by hunting and collecting wild plants."
Finally, Yan Changqing wrote the words "Antarctica" under the world map, and then briefly introduced:
"This continent, which I temporarily named Antarctica, covers an area of approximately 14 million square kilometers."
"However, it is severely cold all year round and the ice and snow do not melt all year round, so it is not suitable for human habitation, so you can simply know the existence of Antarctica."
"The above is the overview of the seven continents in the world that I finally calculated based on celestial phenomena, geography, information collected by the Daming Navy and information provided by overseas merchants!"
"If you ask how big the world is, I can clearly tell you, Your Highness, how big the world is!"
Having said this, Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and chuckled:
"I wonder if this map of the world is worthy of Your Majesty giving me another Saint title?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and affirmed:
“Of course worth it!”
"Not to mention one Saint, even a few more are worth it!"
The smile on Yan Changqing's face became even bigger and he replied:
"Then I will first represent Saint Boyi. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After taking the opportunity to ask for the title of Saint again from Zhu Yuanzhang, Yan Changqing just looked at the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes in front of him, and asked warmly:
"Your Highnesses, do you now know what my purpose is in describing this world map?!!"
Prince Zhu Biao looked at the world map in front of him, seeming to guess, but also seeming to confirm:
"If I guess correctly, the seven continents written on the world map in front of me should be where I, the vassal princes and princes who have failed in the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty will go in the future."
Princes such as Qin Wang Zhu Chen, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, Yan Wang Zhu Di and other princes also nodded in agreement.
Although they did not think about this aspect at first, as Yan Changqing narrated, and Yan Changqing suddenly mentioned before, "Why in addition to the emperor and the prince learning the "Dragon Slaying Technique", they, the princes and princes, can also Continue to learn "Dragon Slaying Technique".
They realized one after another that perhaps the seven continents drawn on this world map would be the "places to become feudal lords" in the future for those princes and princes who were unsuccessful in the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, I told you about the hidden dangers of the vassal system a long time ago."
"As long as the Ming Dynasty vassal kings are entrusted to the country, civil strife will inevitably occur in three or five generations, or in five or seven generations!"
"So the best way to solve the hidden dangers of the vassal system is to enfeoff the vassal kings outside the Ming Dynasty!"
"For example, the territory of Europe, Africa, South America, North America, and Oceania that I just mentioned is no smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty. The territory of some continents is even two or three times that of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The most important thing is that the current social development level of these continents is lower than that of the Ming Dynasty!"
"In other words, the aboriginal people on these continents, or the messy countries such as kingdoms and empires, can't defeat the Ming Dynasty!"
"You must know that it only took thirteen years for your majesty to unify the world. Your highnesses have the support of the Ming Dynasty behind you. In addition, the countries on other continents are generally lagging behind the Ming Dynasty."
"If your highnesses go to other continents to establish kingdoms, then not only will they unify the entire continent within thirteen years, but there will be no problem in creating an empire of their own within ten years."
"So instead of fighting among brothers in the Ming Dynasty and fighting for the throne of the Emperor, it is better to build another country on other continents!"
"After all, no matter how well you do in the Ming Dynasty, in the future, you will only be called Taizong of the Ming Dynasty in the history books."
"But if a new country is established on other continents, then your highnesses will be listed in the history books as the Ming Taizu just like Your Majesty!"
"If one day, I can completely conquer the entire continent where I am, then I will be able to surpass His Majesty..."
Having said this, Yan Changqing paused slightly, then looked at King Qin Zhu Xiang, and said word by word:
"Qin, Tai, Ancestor!"
These three simple words instantly aroused goosebumps on Qin Wang Zhu Xi's body. At the same time, Qin Wang Zhu Di's whole body was short of breath, and his heart was bumping around like a joyful horse.
[Ming Taizong, Qin Taizu... Qin Taizu]
King Qin Zhu Xiang silently recited the two names Ming Taizong and Qin Taizu in his heart. The more he recited them, the less Ming Taizong appeared, and the more Qin Taizu appeared.
I have to say that compared to the title Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, King Qin Zhu Ming inexplicably felt that the title Qin Taizu seemed more interesting!
After all, Mr. Yan is right. In the Ming Dynasty, no matter how good you do, you can only inherit his Lao'zi legacy. In the future, you will be nothing more than a Ming Taizong, and you will never be the Ming Taizu.
But if he goes to other continents to found a country, he has a chance to become Qin Taizu. In a sense, he has the same status as Lao'zi!
Even if the empire he established is larger than that of Ming Dynasty, then he will be in the history books, and maybe his evaluation as Qin Taizu will be higher than that of Lao'zi Ming Taizu.
When he thought of this, King Qin Zhu Xi felt a little rebellious against Tiangang, feeling secretly happy and excited that he had stepped on his own Lao'zi's head.
While Qin King Zhu Xi was daydreaming in his mind, Yan Changqing's eyes also fell on Jin King Zhu Gang, and he also said word by word:
"Jin, Tai, Ancestor!"
These three simple words also made Jin Wang Zhu Fan unable to help but breathe quickly.
Compared with competing for the position of the second generation emperor in the Ming Dynasty, it seems that going to other continents to build a country on its own, Xi is a good choice.
After all, judging from the information I have heard so far, the country with the greatest difficulty in establishing a country is Europe.
However, even Europe, which is the most difficult country to build a country, is nothing more than a bunch of fish in the eyes of Jin Wang Zhu Fan.
After all, history has already given the answer to the shortcomings of the enfeoffment system, that is, when facing foreign enemies, the enfeoffed princes can never work together.
Just concentrate your forces, supplement them with political advisors to sow discord, divide them, and finally defeat them one by one.
To put it bluntly, just copy the historical strategy of Emperor Qin to wipe out the six kingdoms.
When there are answers that can be copied, if this cannot wipe out the countries and unify Europe, then Jin Wang Zhu Fan feels that it is better to wipe his neck with a sword as soon as possible.
As for other continents, such as Africa, North America, South America, Oceania, etc., it is even simpler. There are not even a few decent dynasties, and they are basically the Yuanshi tribe.
In this case, as long as you get to Africa, North America, South America, and Oceania, you can just concentrate on development.
If the local tribes come to provoke them, they will be killed directly.
If you don't provoke them, then just focus on development and expansion.
Then expand to areas with local tribes, either surrender to them or kill them directly, and then continue to focus on development and expansion.
This cycle repeats until it completely occupies the entire continent!
In the whole process, Jin Wang Zhu Fan couldn't see anything that could be called difficult. It can really be said that he had the skills.
Um
At least that's what Jin King Zhu Fan thought.
On the podium, Yan Changqing's eyes continued to fall on King Yan Zhu Di, with the same smile on his face, he said word by word:
"Yan, Tai, Zu!"
Hearing this title, King Yan Zhu Di couldn't help but breathe quickly.
At the same time, King Yan Zhu Di also inexplicably remembered what Dao Yan once said when he and Dao Xing went to say goodbye to Yan Changqing before going to the county in the first year:
[Originally, in my eyes, His Highness King Yan might become Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, but now in my eyes, he might become an ancestor of his own like your Majesty... What the hell, now even I don't can not see clearly. 】
Daoxing said that he might become Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, which he could understand. After all, if he wins the competition for the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty and becomes the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then he will naturally be Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.
But later it was said that he might become his own ancestor, which he couldn't understand.
After all, as we all know, a dynasty has only one ancestor. His father is Ming Taizu, so how could he become an ancestor of his own? Is it possible that he just ignored the title of his father Ming Taizu?!
If something like this really happened, he would probably have to be expelled from the Zhu family by the old man after his death.
Of course, Zhu Di did not expect that in the original history, there would be an unscrupulous descendant named Zhu Houcong, also known as Emperor Jiajing, who would expel his beloved "Ming Taizong" and then give him a label that would make him fake his body. The title of "Ming Chengzu".
And now when Zhu Di heard what Yan Changqing said, and thought about what Dao Yan had said to him before, he realized that the origin of his unique ancestor was here!
If he stayed in the Ming Dynasty and became the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then he would be the Ming Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.
And if he goes to other continents to build a country on his own, then he will be the Taizu of Yan of the country he created!
On the podium, Yan Changqing's eyes continued to move, paused slightly for a breath at Zhou Wang Zhuju, and then directly passed Zhou Wang Zhuju.
After all, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji is a salty fish. It's okay to let him study medical skills. If you let him go overseas to establish a country, it's better to save it.
Seeing Yan Changqing skipping over him, Zhou Wang Zhu Ru couldn't help but said with dissatisfaction in his eyes:
[Hey, hey, hey, although I don’t want to go overseas to establish a kingdom, but just skipping me is a bit too much!]
Sensing the dissatisfied look in Zhou Wang Zhu's eyes, Yan Changqing moved his eyes back again and gave the same look back:
[Then you go overseas to establish a country?!!]
Zhou Wang Zhu Ju's eyes immediately drifted away, not looking at Yan Chang.
He just said that it was a bit too much to skip him. He didn't mean that he wanted to go overseas to establish a country.
Then Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Chu King Zhu Zhen, and he said warmly:
"Chu, Tai, Ancestor!"
Although King Chu Zhu Zhen looked excited, he pursed his lips with restraint.
He knew a long time ago that he would not be able to become the second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty, "so he always regarded participating in the competition for the second generation of the Ming Dynasty as a game.
He originally thought that after this game was over, the "Dragon Slaying Technique" he had learned would be shelved.
But I never expected that one day I would actually put my knowledge to use.
It is very interesting to think about the establishment of overseas states in the Ming Dynasty, especially the establishment of a huge empire from scratch that is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty, or even surpasses the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Changqing's eyes finally fell on Qi Wang Zhu Su, and he smiled and said:
"Qi, Tai, Ancestor!"
Qi Wang Zhu Shu grinned and nodded repeatedly.
He likes the title Qi Taizu very much. If he can't be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can't he be the Qi Taizu of other continents?!!
Even at this moment, Qi King Zhu Shu had begun to think about which continent was suitable for him to establish his feudal state.
[Africa is undoubtedly the second largest continent at present, with a territory of 30 million square kilometers, equivalent to three Ming dynasties. With such a large area, it is estimated that it will be difficult to completely occupy and rule it. 】
[North America and South America seem to be good. Their territory is smaller than Africa, but still larger than the Ming Dynasty. They are also the birthplaces of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. 】
