However, before King Sejong of the Kimchi Nation appeared…
There were two more important things to introduce.
First, it was the same year that Zhu Di asked the Kimchi Nation to present beautiful women.
It was the winter of 1408.
Emperor Yong Le had expended countless manpower and financial resources.
He was determined to build a masterpiece that could highlight the country's prestige and benefit generations-Yongle Grand Ceremony!
It was finally a book!
The Yongle Grand Ceremony included the classics, history, classics, anthology, astronomy, geography, Yin and Yang medicine, divination, Buddhist scriptures, drama, crafts, and agriculture. It covered the wealth of knowledge of the Yan Huang people for thousands of years.
The book had 22,877 volumes and a table of contents of 60 volumes. There were a total of 22937 volumes, 11095 volumes, and about 370 million words. It was a collection of 7,000 to 8,000 ancient and modern books.
As early as 1403, Zhu Di had already made up his mind to write an encyclopedia that involved people's livelihood, history, philosophy, politics, and other aspects.
Counting the previous two versions, a total of more than 3,000 people participated in the task of editing the book at the same time.
More than three thousand scholars had worked together for three years.
The Yongle Grand Ceremony was finally completed.
This not only represented the prosperity of the country during Zhu Di's reign.
As well as his own achievements.
It was also a brilliant method for him to win over the hearts of the people.
The Yongle Grand Ceremony was built to win the hearts of all the scholars in the world!
Back then, he used the slogan of Jingnan to seize his nephew's throne. Confucian scholars did not think that this was Jingnan, but rebellion!
It could be seen from Fang Xiaoru.
At that time, many books in the world were in the hands of ordinary scholars.
If you contribute a handwritten copy, you can leave the name of the contributor in the Yongle Grand Ceremony.
It could be passed down through the ages with the Yongle Grand Ceremony, and what scholars valued was reputation.
To win over the hearts of the people by writing a book, this move was truly brilliant!
Zhu Di was indeed a great emperor!
To deal with those scholars, it was not just the ten clans that would be killed.
When the Yongle Grand Ceremony was completed, it would be the day when he would completely sit firmly on the throne!
...
The following year, the Kimchi Nation presented five beautiful women to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West for the third time.
Deputy envoys Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian led more than 27,000 officers and soldiers.
He sailed forty-eight ships from Taicang Liujiagang.
When Zheng He went to the West, his fleet was comparable to an aircraft carrier!
The largest was 148 meters long and 60 meters wide. It was the largest wooden sailboat in the world at that time.
The ship had four floors, and twelve sails could be hung on the nine masts. The anchor weighed several thousand pounds, and it would take two to three hundred people to set sail.
Especially when they saw the ships of other countries brush past this super fleet. The masts of the ships were not even as high as the plank.
Only then could people finally understand in the most intuitive way how powerful the Dragon Country was in the past!
Moreover, something interesting happened during this trip to the West.
When Zheng He visited Mount Ceylon, the King of Mount Ceylon, Alie Kunai 'er, saw that the Ming Dynasty's fleet was so rich and wanted to kill them. Fortunately, Zheng He noticed it in time and left Mount Ceylon for another country.
On his return trip, he once again visited the Ceylon Mountain Kingdom, where Alec Kunaier lured Zheng He to the country.
He sent 50,000 troops to besiege Zheng He's fleet and cut down trees to block Zheng He's way back.
Zheng He took advantage of the fact that the enemy had come out in full force and the country was empty. He led 2,000 soldiers and soldiers to sneak into the capital city of Alie Kunai 'er at night. They broke through the city and captured Alie Kunai' er and his family.
In other words, when Zheng He went to the West, not only did he make all the countries submit to the Ming Dynasty, he also made them pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and took in many followers.
He even destroyed a country.
In the end, Zhu Di pardoned the king and issued an edict to let them choose another virtuous king.
This matter was enough to prove that Great Ming being the suzerain was not a joke.
If anyone dared to be disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor could even depose their king.
From then on, the countries that had witnessed the might of the Great Ming Dynasty submitted even more to the Great Ming Dynasty.
The next few times Zheng He went to the West, he was like the imperial eunuch that Zhu Di sent to the Pickle Nation to ask for beauties.
Along the way, he was worshipped by the kings of various countries, and he even walked all the way to East Africa.
Seeing this, the countries that had been suppressed by the golden dragon and moved by the tomb of the king naturally understood what was going on.
...
"I didn't expect the Dragon Country to be so powerful in history.”
"That's right. If it weren't for the Heroic Spirit Ranking this time, I wouldn't have known.”
"Moreover, have you realized that even when the Dragon Country was so powerful, it did not invade us unscrupulously like other countries?”
"It seems like they just came to show off their strength and then went back?”
"If this was a beautiful country, wouldn't they send troops to station here?”
" Not only will they station us here, they will even make us pay for the military expenses of the garrison."
"Compared to the Dragon Country, this is simply too good! Can we strengthen our cooperation with them in the future?”
"I think it's fine!"
"Through this historical projection, not only did I have a deeper understanding of the Dragon Country, but I also had a new understanding of the Kimchi Country.”
"Who says so? In the past, I also liked to watch their television dramas, but I didn't expect that the ancient kings that they bragged about in the television dramas were just this?”
"Isn't it just a dog raised by the Emperor of the Dragon Country?”
...
Through the real historical projection.
The threat of the Dragon Country that some other countries had spread seemed to be gradually disintegrating.
Everyone had a new understanding of this ancient country.
Those who were unwilling to see this were the countries that constantly promoted the threat of the Dragon Country.
Moreover, with their way of thinking, it seemed that they could not understand Zhu Di's actions.
Why didn't the Dragon Country establish overseas colonies like us when it was extremely powerful?
This didn't make sense.
Wasn't it natural for the strong to plunder the weak?
...
Similarly, the kimchi country next door to the Dragon Country was also unwilling to see this.
However, they were still harboring fantasies, fantasizing that after the incomparably great World Sect in their memories appeared, they would be able to rise!
Explosive Hammer Zhu Di!
To wash away their national humiliation!
...
In the historical projection, the time had finally arrived at the 16th year of Yongle, which was 1418 AD.
It was the year King Sejong of the Kimchi Nation took the throne.
"That's great! King Sejong is finally going to make his appearance!"
"The greatest king in human history!”
"He created the written language and defeated the Sage Monarch of the Cherry Blossom Country!”
The people of the Kimchi Nation cheered.
It was like watching a TV series and being suppressed by the villain for a long time.
Then, the protagonist would finally rise up and launch a satisfying counterattack!
The villain in their eyes was Zhu Di.
And the main character was King Sejong, who was finally about to make his appearance.
"Nani? When has our Cherry Blossom Nation ever been defeated by your Kimchi Nation?”
The Cherry Blossom Kingdom, who was suddenly cued, was dumbfounded.
When has my Cherry Blossom Kingdom ever been defeated by your King Sejong?
"Are you guys from a parallel world?”
"Can I trouble you to draft a draft before you brag?”
