Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

There was also a touch of excitement in Jiang Xinghuo's expression.

Zheng He, in front of him, tore open the wounds in his heart that had already healed and scabbed, and recounted the bloody childhood nightmare that was destined to last a lifetime.

This is Zheng He, no, this is the past that belongs to "Ma Sanbao".

Zheng He's narration continues.

"The King of Yan was an ambitious and resolute man. When he saw that the young eunuch named Ma Sanbao was smart, he kept him by his side and became his personal attendant."

"The King of Yan is very willing to pay attention to the people around him. Although the King of Yan was only in his twenties at that time, he already had the air of a king. He treated Ma Sanbao and a group of his followers as his own nephews. If it was not a crime, He rarely hits, scolds or punishes him for his taboos."

"In addition, King Yan also selected knowledgeable Confucian scholars and officials to come to the palace to teach Ma Sanbao and others. Not only that, but also allowed them to freely read the large number of books in the palace inherited from the Yuan Dynasty's Dadu Library. This To outsiders, it’s simply incredible.”

"Ma Sanbao knew that he had met a noble person, so he worked hard to learn knowledge, practice martial arts, and strive to become the most outstanding follower of His Highness King Yan. In the library of the palace, Ma Sanbao especially liked to read erotic books. Books about astronomy and geography left behind by people.”

"Because of Ma Sanbao, I have had a dream since I was a child."

Having said this, almost in an instant, somehow, perhaps because there were too many accumulated emotions, they overflowed the threshold of the "reason" dam, and Zheng He suddenly burst into tears.

Big drops of tears flowed from the eyes of this tough man and rolled down his cheeks, as if a child who had been wronged in the world had found a safe place and burst into tears.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at Zheng He silently, neither comforting nor commenting.

Don't talk about other people's affairs without going through their suffering.

Perhaps for Zheng He, it was already a great thing to be able to express the negative emotions that had been suppressed for many years, and there was no need for Jiang Xinghuo to say anything more.

"My father told him to be a pilgrim like him," Zheng He said, wiping away his tears with his hands. "Ma Sanbao had imagined countless times that one day he would be able to travel thousands of miles like his father, just for the faith in his heart. , a pilgrimage to Mecca.”

"But the reality is that Ma Sanbao seems to be trapped in the high walls of Prince Yan's palace, and will never be able to realize his dream in his lifetime."

"But soon there was a turning point."

Zheng He's tone became more passionate: "Zhu Yunwen, the little boy from Huangkou, has ascended the throne, intending to wipe out all the vassals. King Yan was forced to have no choice but to raise troops to appease the emperor!"

"Ma Sanbao always felt that King Yan was so kind to him. He vowed to repay King Yan with his life, and he did it."

"As a military attache, Ma Sanbao led his men to follow King Yan on the battlefield and fought bravely to kill the enemy. In the end, King Yan won the victory, put an end to the war, and became the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"The emperor believed that Ma Sanbao had made outstanding contributions and rewarded him generously. However, Ma Sanbao refused to accept the reward. He only asked the emperor not to forget the original agreement."

"Before the decisive battle at Lingbi, King Yan had a verbal agreement with Ma Sanbao."

"If King Yan can really reach Dabao and is willing to explore overseas, he will give Ma Sanbao the opportunity to sail to the ocean on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and let him lead the navy soldiers across the four seas."

"Ma Sanbao's answer is, I will not give up even if I die!"

"And now that King Yan has done it, Ma Sanbao should also fulfill his promise to King Yan."

When Zheng He said this, he paused and raised his head to look at Jiang Xinghuo.

Zheng He's tone just now showed a sense of heroism and excitement buried deep in his heart.

I waited patiently for decades just to get this opportunity.

But now it seems that Zheng He has indeed obtained it.

The emperor allowed him to serve as the commander of the Ming Navy and represent the Ming Dynasty in the unknown ocean.

"But why? Why should I stop there? Why is it only a stone's throw away from the new continent?!"

Zheng He knew very well that the future predicted by Jiang Xinghuo was very likely to become his real future based on people's current understanding of the world.

In other words, it was really possible that he would stop there, and it wasn't Jiang Xinghuo's casual remarks.

This future is not fake.

Suddenly, Zheng He's eyes became bloodshot and turned scarlet.

He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white and veins were exposed.

"I can not be reconciled!"

Zheng He roared unwillingly, and his whole face turned purple.

"The Ma family is in ruins!"

"The surrounding tribesmen were brutally killed!"

"I survived because my father said that I still have my mission and I want to continue to be a pilgrim!"

"But when I grew up, I knew that my mission was not only to be a pilgrim, but also to be a pioneer in exploring the limits of the ocean for the Ming Dynasty."

"But why on earth is fate playing tricks on me like this?!"

Zheng He's roar seemed to be questioning the sky.

Jiang Xinghuo was silent.

He could feel the overwhelming resentment and anger emanating from Zheng He.

"Am I not miserable enough?"

"Didn't I work hard enough?"

"Why does God want to punish me?"

"Why!!!"

The more Zheng He talked, the angrier he became.

His breathing was heavy, his chest was rising and falling violently, and veins were popping on his forehead.

"I, the eunuch Sanbao, Zheng He, do not accept it!"

Zheng He officially confessed his identity to Jiang Xinghuo and opened his bloody wounds to show his miserable past.

Just to ask Jiang Xinghuo for a result, a different future.

Jiang Xinghuo's heart was also shaken.

Jiang Xinghuo knew very well that every word he said next could change the direction of history and the fate of countless people.

He is slightly different from Zhu Gaoxu. In fact, if we compare the two carefully, Zheng He has a greater ability to influence the direction of Chinese history.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo must be cautious.

"The future, that future."

Jiang Xinghuo murmured, then raised his hand and pointed at Zheng He.

At this time, Jiang Xinghuo seemed to be really standing on the long river of history, overlooking the different future that China was heading towards under his guidance.

"Now, I see a vague future that is so elusive and yet so alluring."

"A new future?"

Zheng Heping calmed down his angry mood, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

There are no more ups and downs than this.

Zheng He had just imagined whether there would be a new and different future after Jiang Xinghuo gave him some advice as he confessed his identity.

But this was just his imagination, but he never expected that Jiang Xinghuo would really say that there was a new future.

In fact, Zheng He has long been convinced of Jiang Xinghuo's predictive ability.

After all, whether it is the gold and silver mountains in Japan or the guano islands in thousands of stone ponds, it is simply not something that a young scholar who has never left Jingting Mountain in Xuancheng can know.

And these things that Jiang Xinghuo predicted have now been clearly verified.

So no matter how much you don't want to believe that Jiang Xinghuo, a banished immortal, has the ability to predict the future, you can only believe it in the face of the iron-clad facts.

"Yes, the future, the new future." Jiang Xinghuo nodded.

"In the new future, you will get an opportunity to reverse your destiny and subvert everyone's perception."

Jiang Xinghuo said with a serious face: "But this requires you to have unparalleled courage to overcome many difficulties and complete this impossible thing."

"What on earth is going on?" Zheng He asked nervously.

The seriousness on Jiang Xinghuo's face remained unchanged, but he also became nervous inside.

What is he doing?

As a banished immortal, he was deceiving Zheng He, the greatest eunuch in Chinese history, to accomplish a great deed that would shock the past and the present.

Who said it was impossible for the Chinese to usher in the Age of Discovery?

Who said that the Chinese could not be the first to complete a circumnavigation?

This is Zheng He!

China's greatest navigator!

If Jiang Xinghuo, a later generation person, relied on his almost magical ability to predict history, to enlighten Zheng He and give him help, in the end it would not be able to change the two results that Zheng He could not reach the New World and could not complete his circumnavigation.

Then I am afraid that the tragic fate that our compatriots in this world will face in the future is truly inevitable.

Zheng He was unwilling to give in, so how could Jiang Xinghuo be willing?

Either way, give it a try!

Jiang Xinghuo made up his mind and spoke.

"Arrived in the New World, then completed the circumnavigation of the world, and began China's great age of navigation!"

The Age of Discovery?

Zheng He was shocked.

Just hearing this name made his soul tremble involuntarily.

Almost instantly, Zheng He realized that this would become the lofty mission he pursued in his life!

Zheng He thought silently in his heart: "My parents gave birth to me and allowed me to be myself, but only Mr. Jiang taught me how to become the person I want. Mr. Jiang's kindness and kindness will never be forgotten in this life, Zheng He!"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't know what Zheng He was thinking, so he continued: "Things in the future are based on the current situation and are changing every moment. And I cannot help you foresee the future all the time."

"Therefore." Jiang Xinghuo looked into Zheng He's eyes and said, "I can't help you on your long voyage. You need to use your wisdom to defeat your enemy. Your enemy is not a specific person, but a specific person. It is shaken confidence, lack of fresh water, bad sea conditions, internal rebellion, and lack of food.”

"I'm not afraid of this. Mr. Jiang just needs to tell me, after arriving in the New World, is it really possible to cross this vast ocean and return to the Ming Dynasty?"

Zheng He's tone became fierce, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xinghuo, as if he wanted to see through the depths of Jiang Xinghuo's heart.

"Can."

Jiang Xinghuo said solemnly.

"Not only that, I will also tell you how the earth's ocean currents are distributed, how to better sail with the wind and water; how to locate your own longitude and latitude, there is a new instrument called the sextant; the current ships of the Ming Dynasty It is not suitable for ocean navigation and requires the construction of sharp-bottomed boats."

After a while.

"that's enough."

Zheng He murmured and closed his eyes, trying to digest the information Jiang Xinghuo explained to him.

Jiang Xinghuo stood in front of the straw pile and looked at him quietly.

For the first time, Jiang Xinghuo truly realized that he had "completely" changed the fate of a famous historical figure. His butterfly had fanned enough to overturn the damn idea that "Westerners have led the world since the Age of Discovery." The storm ahead.

"You will be a pioneer in the Age of Discovery."
