Chapter 499: Using softness to overcome strength
There are two copies of overseas maps.
One is called "A Map of Tributes from Various Tribes in the World", and the other is called "A General Map of the Whole World".
These were drawn bit by bit every time Zheng He came back from his voyage.
One records the coastal countries, and the other records the shipping routes and topography.
There are more than 500 place names and densely packed countries on the "Map of Tributes from Various Tribes in the World".
These names were not as easy to remember as the provincial capitals within the Ming Dynasty, so she did not remember them all. She was only relatively familiar with a few important countries.
"You mean go through them one by one? Really?"
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes suddenly widened, and he began to tremble as he pointed at Zhang Xin's simple nautical chart.
At a glance, there are at least dozens of places on this map.
Happiness comes too suddenly.
Originally he felt embarrassed to leave, and he couldn't ask Zhang Xin for help, so he wanted to stay for a while and then leave without saying goodbye.
But I still haven't made up my mind.
it's good now!
No need to worry about shaking his faith! He even wanted to sing a song to celebrate!
Zhang Xin wanted to laugh when she saw Zhang Sanfeng's face full of surprise, but she held back her laughter and pointed at each name on the map, explaining them carefully to Zhang Sanfeng.
"It's about the same. It depends on the situation. My original fleet and Zheng He's fleet basically departed from Liujiagang in Suzhou, sailed across the sea to Fujian, and then set sail from Wuhumen in Fujian. If nothing unexpected happens, this time we will take the same route. If you want to visit Fujian, that's fine. We won't rush, we can just stroll around."
"After setting sail, the first place to resupply is Annan. My seventeenth uncle can take us around there. After we have had enough fun, we can sail towards Java and visit Sulu. There is already Zheng He Island and imperial troops stationed there."
"The larger countries behind, such as Siam, Sumatra, Malacca, Nanwuli, Kayila, Ceylon, Cochin, and Calicut, either have the imperial Maritime Customs and imperial garrisons, or my uncles are stationed there. They all have people to receive us. Most of them are island countries with hot weather, and the products they produce are different from those in our country. It is said that there are many fresh fruits."
"After staying in these places for a while, we will set off again to Guli, which is the farthest point in the Southeast Sea. His Highness should have sent people to build a shipyard there."
"After resting, we will sail further. There is another continent. Zheng He called this place Aifika and that sea area Honghai. Malindi is the country there, and the capital of the supply province is Manbasa."
"The place I want to settle down in the end is Wumei. I don't know the exact location on this map. When Zhanji comes, he will bring me a copy of the map. It seems that it will take some time to drift in the sea before I can get there."
"Wanxiu said, if I stay in the mountains like this, I'll be no different from a sitting duck. It's better to go far away. I thought, since I'm going to leave, I might as well go around and see this beautiful country."
"Wanxiu also said that Zhenren doesn't like to stay in one place all the time, and asked me to invite Zhenren to travel together."
Zhang Xin finished talking about the entire itinerary in one breath, and added the suggestion of rolling up the sleeves. Zhang Sanfeng raised his hand and gave a big thumbs up:
"Your Wanxiu is really like this!"
"So, the real person is really impatient?"
Zhang Xin asked with a smile.
"It's not that I'm impatient. Alas, I can't explain it."
Zhang Sanfeng was also helpless.
There is an inexplicable power in Zhang Xin that is irresistible.
It was only after spending so much time together that he realized the power of using softness to overcome hardness.
