This is definitely a supreme honor!
Later, Li Shimin, Lin Xuan and the ministers discussed some other matters, and ended today's court meeting.
Hibiscus Garden.
Lin Xuan's study.
In his spare time, Lin Xuan looked at the world map not far from the study.
nowadays.
Two-thirds of the territory of the Dashi Empire and the territory of the Byzantine Empire are all owned by the Tang Dynasty.
Although it looks big, it is still small compared to the entire world map.
?Because Datang had just won the territory of the Byzantine Empire not long ago, but the transportation in various places has not yet been laid, the distance is too far, it is not convenient for him to do it.
Furthermore, the Byzantine Empire, which has already lost half of its territory, may resist desperately if it is attacked again, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Lin Xuan glanced over the Byzantine Empire, the Dashi Empire, and the Pyu Kingdom, Linyi, Chenla, Chitu and other countries south of the Tang Dynasty.
This place is the same as the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty. There is no unified dynasty, and there are many countries.
The climate here is warm all year round, and the four seasons are like spring. It is very suitable for planting crops, and it can achieve three or even four crops a year.
It's a treasure!
The Dashi Empire and the Byzantine Empire are now a little far away from the Tang Dynasty, beyond their reach.
Before the transportation network is laid, it should be difficult to use troops on it.
Therefore, Lin Xuan was thinking about this place.
If this place is occupied, almost the entire Yadi will be owned by Datang!
"Go, invite Zheng He to come here." Lin Xuan ordered Cui Steward beside him.
Zheng He is now the commander of the navy of the Tang Dynasty, and Lin Xuan plans to follow the example of Emperor Yongle in history and let Zheng He lead the fleet to the West.
If you go by sea, it is much closer than by land, and you can save a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
Lin Xuan planned to let Zheng He open up a fixed route to prepare for Yihou's march.
After a while, Zheng He arrived.
"See His Royal Highness the Regent!"
Zheng He came to Lin Xuan's study and greeted Lin Xuan respectfully.
"No courtesy."
"Zheng He, this king has an important task for you."
Lin Xuan looked at Zheng He and said solemnly.
"Please tell me, Regent Palace, even if I go through fire and water, I will not hesitate!"
Zheng He knelt on one knee, promising with a sonorous voice.
The characters who came as rewards from the system are naturally 100% loyal to Lin Xuan. No matter what it is, they will try their best to complete it, even if it is death, they will not hesitate!
"Please hurry up, your loyal king understands."
Lin Xuan walked to Zheng He's side and helped him up.
"The king wants you to form a fleet and sail to the west to open up a route to Pyu, Linyi, Chenla, Chitu and other countries."
"This route can ensure that the ships of my Great Tang can reach these places smoothly, so that I can march after the Great Tang."
After listening to Lin Xuan's words, Zheng He immediately understood what Lin Xuan meant.
Lin Xuan wants to mobilize troops in these places!
The purpose of forming a fleet to sail to the West this time is to send troops to explore the way in the future.
Zheng He didn't expect Lin Xuan to entrust him with such an important task. What kind of trust is this? !
Let Zheng He have an urge to die for his confidant!
"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Regent!"
"I will definitely open up a route to these places!"
Zheng He swore to Lin Xuan.
"Okay! This king believes in you!"
"Go, if you need any supplies, just ask!"
For Zheng He, Lin Xuan is naturally one hundred and twenty at ease.
after all.
He used to be a figure of seven voyages to the West in history!
After half a month of preparation, Zheng He's voyage fleet was completed, with a total of 50 ships of all sizes and about 5,000 people.
With the banner of trade, he began to sail to the west to open up routes to Pyu and other places.
On the boundless sea, Zheng He led the fleet and sailed slowly, but Zheng He would send people to record the islands or landmarks they encountered and organize them into pictures.
hereThis time, he didn't come here for fun, but with the task of opening up a route.
The Datang Fleet led by Zheng He looked very rich, so it naturally attracted the attention of pirates.
Facing such a big family, these lawless pirates will naturally not let them go.
this day.
Zheng He was still carefully recording the route, and hundreds of ships, large and small, suddenly appeared on the distant sea.
"My lord! There are hundreds of ships approaching us quickly!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
