Empress Ma saw it clearly.
The story started again from the screen, and the man beside her could no longer sit still, and almost rushed to the light curtain.
The light curtain showed a clear map of Song, Jin, Mongolia, and Western Xia, and he wanted to lie on it and carefully check every detail.
She knew that her husband still had concerns about this magical thing, so he wanted to compare it with what he saw with his own eyes.
If we talk about the geographical understanding of Jianghuai and Liangzhe, who can be as familiar as the current emperor of Ming?
On the other hand, he was probably a little worried about Mobei. After all, the remnant Yuan occupied Liaodong here and was able to connect with Goryeo, which was ultimately a disaster.
I still remember that at the beginning of the year, Goryeo sent envoys with thousands of taels of gold and tens of thousands of taels of silver to pay tribute, but because it was still connected with the Hu Yuan, Chongba refused to pay tribute.
Moreover, the Prince Liang of Hu Yuan in Yunnan was still resisting stubbornly, and he sent envoys to the northern desert every year to see the pseudo-emperor of the remnant Yuan.
Therefore, although the map was divided into Song, Jin, Mongolia, etc., in Chongba's eyes, he was probably looking at Yanshan and other places and thinking about how to deal with the remnant Yuan?
Then he heard his husband, who had defeated all the powerful enemies and settled the Central Plains, mutter:
"It's really big."
After that, he continued to shake his head as if praising or sighing:
"How can it be so big?"
From Yingtian Prefecture to Beiping Prefecture is about two thousand miles, but from here, from Beiping Prefecture to the north to the end of the light curtain is at least five or six thousand miles, and the same is true to the west. From Hexi to Beshbalik is also four or five thousand miles away, and even the place where Goryeo is surrounded by the sea on three sides is almost two thousand miles from north to south.
In the past, I only knew about the vast distance from the mouths of civil and military officials, the Queen's leisurely narration, and the reading at night by lamplight. Now I have a clearer and more practical concept for the first time.
"Korea... is almost the same as Hebei... Ryukyu..."
The emperor looked carefully at the right side of the light curtain and finally shook his head:
"How can it be as small as an ant? This country is very small."
Then Queen Ma looked at her husband speechlessly as she squatted down and looked at the southernmost part of the light curtain, her voice a little muffled:
"I can only see Qiongzhou in the South China Sea, and I don't know what Siam, Champa, Srivijaya, Baihua, Pahang and other countries look like."
She also knew why her husband had this idea. At the beginning of the year, these countries came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute together with the rude Korea. They all claimed to come from the south, and the rare treasures they presented were amazing. Not to mention Chongba's curiosity, she was the same.
But now...
"Ahem."
Queen Ma cleared her throat, pinched her voice and imitated her husband:
"If I say, it's enough to have elite soldiers and scouts. Why does the map of the world need to be so detailed..."
Before she finished her words, she really coughed.
This caused Zhu Yuanzhang to jump up and support his sister, with a look of pity and helplessness on his face:
"The Western Liao Kingdom I saw just now now belongs to Beshbalik, so of course..."
"You haven't led troops there yourself, so you're not familiar with it, right?"
Helping his wife sit down again, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and whispered:
"We just looked carefully, and the places like Xuzhou, Suzhou, and Dengzhou are all consistent with what we have personally experienced."
"The trend of the Yangtze River and the locations of the cities along the river are also similar. This... is really a treasure.
After taking a breath, Empress Ma did not answer, but just looked at her husband steadily.
The windows in Kunning Palace were not opened at this time because they needed to rest, but the light curtain reflected the queen's bright eyes and heard the joyful whisper:
"So, Baba is really an eloquent monarch like Emperor Taizong of Tang! "
The emperor moved his butt immediately. Although this was a compliment, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially when he thought of the inference that the queen had just said:
Because of the conversation between a person named Zhang Fei and Li Shimin on the screen, he knew Li Shimin's nickname and guessed that Baba was Chongba.
And because of the disrespectful words in the text, saying that he and Emperor Taizong of Tang would be slapped twice... Let's not think about it for now.
"Sister, you didn't care about our humble origins. We must do something to show them how wise you were!"
After a pause, he couldn't help but look a little sad:
"I hoped to become a monarch like Emperor Gaozu of Han, but now I am almost like Emperor Wu of Han. ”
So now it was Empress Ma's turn to comfort the emperor.
The couple had been talking about everything for more than 20 years, so they could know each other's thoughts with just one sentence.
I still remember that after her husband ascended the throne, he had talked to her about ancient emperors with great ambition. At that time, Chongba had a lot of respect for Emperor Gaozu of Han, praising his achievements that have lasted for thousands of years and have not declined to this day.
Although Emperor Taizong of Tang's achievements were slightly inferior to Emperor Gaozu of Han, his elegance was even better. At that time, Chongba reflected on this and hoped to learn from the two emperors to be better.
But Hu Weiyong died at the beginning of this year. Although there were many considerations about the relationship afterwards, most of those who sighed at this time thought that just from the fact that Emperor Taizong of Tang could preserve his old ministers, he was not inferior.
However, Empress Ma's words of comfort only made Zhu Yuanzhang wave his hand, either unwilling to think about it or wanting to divert his mind, so he began to observe the light curtain again, and his eyes lit up and said:
"This method of simulating a battle is good! "
As the young voice narrated, he could see that Mongolia drew a line, and then a group of small painted figures that looked like Mongolian cavalry followed the line from the south of the desert to attack Xixia, and then some copper coins and gold-like things moved from Xixia to the south of the desert.
At the same time, there are arrows drawn out from the Song and Jin sides along the two Zhejiang lines. The death of the coach, the movement of the battle line, the changes in the front line, etc. are clearly depicted in a few strokes.
As someone who had personally led an army in a war, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the primary issue in wartime discussions was to allow the decision-makers of the Chinese military to have a clear understanding of the war situation at that time. This way, it would be easier for everyone to work together, and ultimately the commander would decide on the strategy. .
The best thing about such a simple painting is that it can clearly depict the key points of the battlefield in a very simple way.
"We will definitely write a letter to Brother Xu Da later. He can use this method!"
Regarding the record of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed:
"Obviously it was the Southern Song Dynasty that took the lead in going north, but the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty wrote history, but they said it was Jin Zhangzong who attacked the Song Dynasty. It's interesting!"
Later, when he heard the voice introducing Professor Li, he was quite surprised and turned to ask the Queen:
"They founded a country? This voice is not from our Ming people?"
Empress Ma suddenly hesitated a little, not sure whether she should talk about the Hunjun Mingbao Sect.
She had studied classics and history since she was a child and saw the collapse of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. She knew that it was normal for a country to rise and fall within hundreds of years.
Therefore, Empress Ma felt that the Ming Dynasty founded by her family in 88 years would probably not be able to escape this fate. The Ming Dynasty would become the Southern Ming, and the Southern Ming would become the country's destruction.
Fortunately, before she could organize her words, the husband over there was distracted by something new:
"Vietnamese? French? However, if you use your strategy to ensure that there will be no obstacles in the battle, how can you start late because of unforeseen circumstances?"
"Wait a minute...the Ming Dynasty...the style of a great country...the emperor guarding the country?"
