Chapter 1100: World Map

Everyone was incredibly excited.

One by one, they were filled with righteous indignation and surging passion as they looked at Liu Zheng.

They truly had not expected that Liu Zheng would propose this suggestion. In an instant, their perception of Liu Zheng changed completely.

No wonder he did not want to be emperor...

And no wonder he did not want his wife to be emperor.

Because his journey was not a small Longyan, but the entire sea of stars...

Vision.

This was vision, this was the difference in perspective.

Everyone took a deep breath.

Zhu Zhen and the Prince of Qin were also astonished, looking at each other in dismay.

This...

Liu Zheng watched their reactions and continued to smile.

This was what is called giving a stick, then offering a candy.

This was something no one could refuse.

Interests!

Wealth!

Land!

Today, Liu Zheng was going to broaden the horizons of this group of people.

"Bring the map!"

He waved his hand.

Jiang Xuan, accompanied by several brothers, carried a large object up under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

What is this?

Naturally, it was a World Map!

It was a World Map that Liu Zheng had spent who knows how long drawing, relying on his own memory! Perhaps in terms of many detailed data points, he could not be precise. But it was enough, enough to shock this group of people before him who had no world in their eyes!

Under Liu Zheng's instruction, Jiang Xuan and several brothers slowly unfolded this huge World Map.

What was displayed before everyone was a vast and boundless map.

There was no need for Liu Zheng to introduce it.

Because what was facing them right now was the central Longyan Dynasty!

The Longyan Dynasty, represented in red, did not occupy much space on this map at all!

"This..."

"How is this possible!"

"This..."

"Tsarist Russia is actually this big!"

"Is this Britain? Shouldn't they be very strong? Why is their area only this small?"

"Is this France?"

The World Map made everyone burst with indescribable curiosity; they excitedly stood up, observing and discussing around the World Map.

Shock.

Awe.

And then came the breaking of conventions!

In the cognition of all Longyan people, their Longyan should be the Celestial Empire! The center of the entire universe... But looking at it now, Longyan was actually so inconspicuous in this world! It could not be called the center of the universe at all, let alone the heaven being round and the earth being square...

"Everyone, the world we live in is originally a spherical planet, and this World Map is unfolded..."

Liu Zheng slowly introduced.

"Although reality is cruel, our Longyan is actually not as big as we imagined... and it is even less of the most livable place. In this world, there are places with polar days and polar nights, places with Four Seasons Like Spring, places with extreme winters and summers only, as well as uninhabited lands of death, endless oceans, and even unfathomable mountain forests..."

Liu Zheng's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

Shock.

Besides shock, it was still shock!

"Of course..."

Liu Zheng laughed and said: "There is also gold, as well as Petroleum, in amounts we cannot imagine and that are hair-raising! As well as other wealth!"

His eyes flashed with a sharp light: "The world landscape is just like this; every country is scrambling to be the boss... It was so yesterday, it is so today, and it will be so tomorrow! This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, this is an era of jungle law! In this situation, if we do not attack others,

others will attack us!"

"Do you see it?"

He pointed to the territory of Tsarist Russia on the map and said calmly: "Here, they live in a land of bitter cold all year round, and the land is barren. Therefore, if they want to develop and grow, if they want to live better, then they have no choice but to invade us, to attack us! This is not something that can be solved by paying reparations! Including them!"

He pointed to the European continent again.

"Britain, France, and even Poland, and so on and so forth, everyone is fighting to be the boss; in fact, everyone is fighting for resources!"

"And look at our world again!"

"Most of it is ocean!"

"This means that, at least in the next hundred years or so! The hegemony of the ocean will determine the hegemon of this world!"

"Then why..."

"Can't our Longyan do it?"

Awe!

Continuous shock!

To be backward is to be beaten!

If you do not become the hegemon, others will! This is the most realistic problem!

If you do not strike others, others will strike you!

Tsarist Russia is a bloody example!

Is it not? For a long time, they in Dragon Flame, at most, only fought among themselves, and no one dared to provoke them. Thus, they could remain stable for thousands of years; even if there were some petty villains in the surrounding areas, they would at most teach them a lesson without thinking of annexing them... they would even send them a little money every year to show a gesture, to manifest the demeanor of a great power...

However.

Clearly, the current excessive Confucian culture of Dragon Flame has already begun to suffer.

Everyone stared at the World Map, at that tiny place called Britain; who could have imagined that such a small thing could actually become an Empire on which the sun never sets!

The strongest in the world today?

Then why can they not be?

Everyone's breathing became heavy.

Wealth!

The larger the world, the more wealth it implies!

East India Company.

Liu Zheng gave them a choice, and also gave them an opportunity.

Of course.

Most importantly, it was what Liu Zheng wanted to tell them.

If one is a person with ambition, do not limit that ambition to our Dragon Flame... fighting among our own people behind closed doors, how boring is that? If you have the ability, let us go fight Europe, go fight Britain, go fight Tsarist Russia, go fight France!

Looking at the World Map at this moment once again.

People finally began to realize a problem.

From Tsarist Russia, to Nanyang, to Australia, to Central Asia, to Ottoman, to the Suez Canal...

So it turns out...

While their eyes were still circling within Dragon Flame, Vice Minister Liu had already set his sights on the whole world, had already begun his layout, and even before Xie Tianyao had died, he had basically already taken control of several of the most important points in this world!

Fierce!

Fierce as hell!

This is Vice Minister Liu!

A sense of powerlessness could not help but rise in their hearts.

These scheming Nobles and Scholar-officials were completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Was there anything else they could choose?

No!

There was no room left for choice!

They had to board Liu Zheng's great ship at the first opportunity!

"How do we buy shares?"

"I am willing!"

"Vice Minister Liu, you must save a spot for me!"

"I wonder if my good-for-nothing wastrel of a son could follow the East India army out to gain some experience?"

"And me!"

"Vice Minister Liu, tell us more!"

Only at this moment did Liu Zheng truly smile, and he exchanged a glance with Jiang Xuan.

The two of them seemed to have already foreseen how they would gallop across the seas in the future, and how they would beat those Western barbarians until they cried for their fathers and mothers! Pop-ups are severe recently, you can click to download to avoid pop-ups.
