Xia Pingan followed the stairs and climbed all the way to the top of the mountain range in the middle of the island. When he arrived at the entrance of the golden palace, he heaved a sigh of relief. He had thought that he might encounter some kind of test along the way, so he had been very cautious. He did not expect that the journey would be so smooth.

The main gate of the palace was wide open. Looking over, the steps of the palace were decorated with ivory, agate, and coral. What surprised Xia Pingan the most were the things planted in the garden outside the palace.

Logically speaking, in such a magnificent palace, the things planted in the garden outside the palace must be some precious exotic flowers and herbs. However, what Xia Pingan did not expect was that the things planted in the garden outside the palace were the most common things for the Chinese people. The things in the garden were planted on both sides of the road. Each kind of crop occupied an area and was very easy to identify.

On Xia Pingan’s left was a large area of fig-shaped gardens, followed by a vegetable garden and a pumpkin garden. On Xia Pingan’s right were a loofah garden, a watermelon garden, a bitter gourd garden, and a melon garden. The fruits in these gardens grew very well. Extending from these gardens, one could even see a large area of pistachios, walnuts, sunflowers, corn, tomatoes, sesame seeds, potatoes, peanuts, peanuts, and other crops.

Xia Ping ‘an wouldn’t have been so surprised if only one or two of these fruits and crops that were commonly seen in China had appeared here. However, with so many things appearing here, there must be another meaning.

Xia Pingan looked at these things and suddenly thought of something. He looked at the open door of the palace and calmed himself down. Then, he strode into the palace.

At the end of the palace, there was a huge circular hall. This place was already at the peak of the mountain and could overlook the sea around the island. When Xia Pingan arrived, he saw a stalwart figure with his hands behind his back standing in front of a huge stone wall that was more than two meters tall and more than ten meters long. He seemed to be deep in thought.

That huge stone wall, the top

The figure standing in front of the stone wall was wearing a black official hat inlaid with gold, a red four-clawed python robe, an exquisite white jade belt tied around his waist, and a pair of civil and military black court boots. He looked very imposing. Xia Pingan could tell that he was wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty. Hearing the footsteps behind him, the figure turned around and looked at Xia Pingan with a smile.” No one has come here for a long time. Those who entered the Central-polar Shrine want to leave.” It won’t be that easy. If you can’t pass this test, 1’11 have to send you out of the hall!”

Xia Ping ‘an looked at the person. He had a fair face and no beard. His facial features were firm and upright, and he had a dignified look. His eyes were clear and he had a compassionate look. Xia Ping’ an cupped his fists and bowed deeply to the person.” Xia Ping ‘an greets Duke Zheng!”

“Since you know me?” That person looked at Xia Pingan with a surprised expression, but also full of interest.” In the past, countless people came here, but no one knew who I was. How did you know?”

Xia Ping ‘an said calmly,” The fruits and vegetables planted outside the palace were all brought back to China by Duke Zheng from all over the world. The’ Universal Map of the World ‘in front of us was drawn by Duke Zheng on several occasions when he went out to sea. After the’ Classic of Mountains and Seas,’Duke Zheng completed the great feat of conquering the world for China and drew the first global map that shone for thousands of years. The four-clawed red python robe that Duke Zheng is wearing should also be a gift from Emperor Yongle when Duke Zheng returned from his third voyage to the West!”

Yes, the man in front of him was Zheng He, the well-deserved king of the seven seas of Planet NvWa in Xia Ping ‘an’s eyes. He was a great man who opened up the era of global navigation and made great geographical discoveries!

“Where did you come from? How do you know my past so well?”

” Junior is from China!!”

H

No wonder!” Hearing Xia Ping ‘an’s words, Zheng He’s face revealed a look of reminiscence. After a while, he asked,” Are the Chinese still growing the crops 1 brought back?”

“I’m still planting!” Xia Pingan nodded.” The vegetables that Duke Zheng brought back to China back then, such as lettuce, pumpkin, loofah, watermelon, bitter gourd, melon, pistachio, walnut, sunflower, corn, tomato, sesame, potato, peanuts, and so on, are now eaten by the Chinese people almost every day. They are already common food on the dining table of the Chinese descendants and are planted everywhere!”

A gratified smile appeared on Zheng He’s face as he nodded his head.” That’s good, that’s good. Our Huaxia should gather the best of all countries and have a bountiful land, so that the people will no longer have to suffer from hunger and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment!”

” There are now over 400 million Chinese descendants, and everyone eats these things that Duke Zheng brought back almost every day. These things have been beneficial to the Chinese descendants for hundreds of years after Duke Zheng brought them back, and they will continue to be beneficial in the future…”

Zheng He gently caressed the map on the huge stone wall in front of him and said proudly,” This Universal Universal Map was drawn by me when I led the Ming Dynasty’s fleet and tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers to travel around the world through countless hardships. It symbolized the peak of the Ming Dynasty’s national strength, technology, and civilization, and looked down on the world!”

At this point, Zheng He sighed slightly.” However, the world has changed. After I passed away, the crafty sycophants in the court colluded with the foreign missionary who coveted the national treasure of China for their own benefit. They stole the Universal Universal Map from the secret warehouse and stole all the precious information that I and tens of thousands of Ming navy officers and soldiers had spent decades sailing. This caused China to lose this precious treasure. As a result, a hundred years later, the foreign missionary returned with the Universal Map stolen from the Ming Dynasty, greedy for credit. It is said that it was drawn by a foreigner, but the future generations of China are ignorant and think that this Universal Universal Map was drawn by a foreigner. It is really sad and lamentable. My test is this Universal Universal Map. If you can say seven pieces of evidence that this map was drawn by me and the Ming Navy, you will pass!”

When Xia Ping ‘an heard this, he sighed to himself. The national treasures that Zheng He and the Great Ming Fleet had left behind were kept in the secret vault of the palace. It was not until the Ming Xianzong’s time that they wanted to take a look at the things that Zheng He had left behind. They went to the secret vault to investigate and discovered that all the national treasures that Zheng He had left behind had disappeared. This matter shocked the imperial court and the Emperor was furious. However, at this time, the official Liu Daxia jumped out and said that he had burned all of Zheng He’s information. He righteously said that this was to prevent the Emperor from going out to sea again, so as to avoid wasting money and manpower. This kind of moral kidnapping on the Emperor’s head made Ming Xianzong unable to find a reason to be angry. In the end, the matter was left unsettled.

It was unknown whether Liu Daxia had burned those materials, but almost 60 years after Zheng He’s death, the single-ship-sailing Colombus discovered the ” New World.” Around 1602, the missionary Matteo Ricci came to China with the ” Universal Map ” in his hand. He said that it was painted by Westerners, and later generations believed it to be true. They thought that Westerners had completed this feat.

As someone who was familiar with the history of Huaxia, Xia Ping ‘an could not help but sigh whenever he thought about this period of history. The great achievements of the ancestors of Huaxia had shocked the ancient times and shone in the present. However, most of the descendants of Huaxia were deceived by brainwashed propaganda. They did not know the history and the truth, causing many people to acknowledge thieves as their ancestors and worship foreigners. It was really sad.

Under Zheng He’s gaze, Xia Ping ‘an walked to the front of the Universal Universe Map and scanned it with a solemn expression. He finally spoke,” Since this round requires me to reveal the evidence that the Universal Universe Map was created by Duke Zheng and the Ming Navy, then this junior will be bold enough to speak. This is also the historical truth that every descendant of China should know. If there is anything wrong, please correct me, Duke Zheng!”

Zheng He nodded.” Alright, go ahead!

Xia Pingan first came to the place where China was located in the Universal Universal Map. He pointed at the northern part of China on the map and said in a deep voice,”One of the pieces of evidence is that in the Universal Universal Map, the northern part of China, Yuan ‘an Town, Qinglu Town, Weilu Town, Tula River, Shahu Town, and Wonan River, after a hundred years of political changes, no longer had any special geographical significance around 1602. They were just some small places. It was impossible for Matteo Ricci to draw the names of these meaningless small places in the north of China on the map. These places were the route of Emperor Yong Le’s Northern Expedition. It was meaningful to Duke Zheng and the Ming Navy fleet. It was worth remembering. That was why Duke Zheng marked these places on the Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu! (Note 1)”

“Especially the Yumu River on this map. It is even more inconspicuous but it is clearly marked on the map. There is only one reason why Yumu River appeared on the Kun Yu Ten Thousand Kingdom Map. It is because Yumu River was the place where Emperor Yong Le passed away. Duke Zheng was grateful for the kindness of Emperor Yong Le and hence he specially marked this place on the Kun Yu Ten Thousand Kingdom Map…”

Zheng He looked at the place in Yumu River, his eyes filled with sadness and nostalgia. He didn’t say anything, only nodding his head lightly.

Xia Pingan then pointed at the area in the southern part of China in the Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu.” The second piece of evidence is that in the third year of Xuande, which is 1428, Jiaozhi broke away from the Ming Dynasty and was renamed Annan. From then on, Jiaozhi was marked as Annan on the maps of the Ming Dynasty. In 1602, during the Wanli period, all the maps marked Jiaozhi as Annan. If this map was drawn by the missionary in 1602, then this map is also Annan. However, in the Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu, This place was still labeled as Jiaozhi, which meant that the place names in the Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu were drawn before 1428, not after 1428, and definitely not 1602!”

Xia Pingan went to the Europe part of the huge map and pointed at the European cities that appeared in the Universal Map of All Nations.” Evidence 3, from the European map, the cities in the Universal Map of All Nations still retain their form around 1420, but the major European cities around 1600 after the Renaissance did not appear. There is no papal territory, the Papal State, or Tuscany on the map. Florence, which was the most influential city in Europe at that time, did not even have the birthplace of Matteo Ricci, Macheta, because Macheta was still a papal territory in 1420 and could not be marked!”

Xia Pingan once again came to the America section of the map and pointed at the geographical indicators of the mountains and rivers in the interior of America.” This is evidence four. Some geographical indicators of America appeared in the Universal Map. The Europeans during Matteo Ricci’s era did not know about it, and the Europeans only gradually came to these places 200 years later. Therefore, it is impossible for Matteo Ricci to have brought this geographical information of America!”

“This is the most obvious fifth piece of evidence!”Xia Pingan came before the map of Australia.” According to the clear historical records of the West, the Spanish navigator Torres was the first Westerner to set foot on the land of Australia in 1606. Matteo Ricci could not have drawn a map of Australia in 1602, so the person who landed and drew the map of Australia must have been before Matteo Ricci. The Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu first marked Australia as the ‘Land of the South’. The’ Land of the South ‘was translated into’ Australia ‘in the Latinese, and later it was translated into English as’ Australia.’That was how Australia came to be.”

Xia Pingan pointed at the astronomical symbol on the map.” The sixth evidence is that the astronomical symbol on this map is the concept of the five planets in ancient China, not the transliteration of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn, etc. This means that the original of this map was China, not the Western Matteo!”

Xia Pingan then pointed to America.” The seventh piece of evidence is the time and ability to discover America. Zheng Gong’s seven voyages involved a total of 200,000 people, and his exploration ability was more than 1,000 times that of any European voyager. Each voyage was divided into multiple routes, and it took two to three years to discover America. In 1497, the three ships of Colombus, with less than 100 crew members, only took three months to discover America. Logically speaking, it was not that Colombus discovered America. Instead, he had sailed directly to America with a map. The map that Colombus obtained came from the precious information that had disappeared in the Ming royal family’s secret vault. The two could be matched in terms of time!”

“The eighth piece of evidence on the Universal Universal Map is the 1114 place names on the map. Many of these places are unfamiliar to the west in i602.”Xia Pingan’s finger traced across the map.” Actually, there are more than seven pieces of evidence. It’s on this island called Cape Breton, which is close to the North American continent. Before the arrival of the Europeans, the Katong squadron of Duke Zheng’s fleet had lived on this island for a long time and built the first artificial canal in America. The clothing of the indigenous people on Cape Breton Island still has the characteristics of the clothing of Duke Zheng’s hometown, Yunnan!”

“In the notes of the ‘Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu’ in Japan, there is a record of ‘the king gave birth to a son at the age of 30, and the king gave way to him. Examining the history of Japan, Emperor Komatsu reigned for 30 years and passed on his son in 1412, known as Emperor Light. The reign of Emperor Guang was from 1412 to 1428, which was the time when Duke Zheng traveled across the world. Also, the last time Duke Zheng went to the West was in the fifth year of Xuande. During this voyage, did Duke Zheng send an envoy to North America and give the local aborigines a bronze plate engraved with the words “Ming Dynasty Xuande Wei Xi”?”

“That’s right, there’s such a thing!” Zheng He nodded.

“The Xuande bronze plate that Duke Zheng had given to the North American natives has been found in the local area in later generations!”Xia Pingan looked at Zheng Chenghe and found that there were many other pieces of evidence that could prove that” Kun Yu Wan Guo Quan Tu ” was drawn by Zheng Chenghe’s Ming Dynasty fleet back then. Here, here, Be wary of future generations!”

“I didn’t expect that the future generations would still remember!”Zheng He bowed to Xia Pingan and looked at the empty hall in front of him. He asked,” Brothers, did you hear that? The descendants of China have not forgotten the merits of our expedition to the West. There are still people who remember what we have done. This Universal Map is the best proof!””

As soon as Zheng He spoke, the originally empty palace suddenly became filled with light shadows. In the blink of an eye, 20,000 to 30,000 people had appeared in the hall, filling it up. These 20,000 to 30,000 people were all dressed in various clothes of the Ming Dynasty. Some were armed with swords and firearms, while others were holding various tools.

Xia Ping ‘an looked over and saw that among the lights and shadows of the twenty to thirty thousand people, there were the officials of the Ming Dynasty fleet, the flag soldiers, the warriors, the sailors, the captains, the civilians, the helmsmen, the messengers, the workers, the calculators, the Yin Yang officers, the healers, the anchors, the wooden mats, the building materials, and so on.

Everyone from the Great Ming Squadron that had followed Zheng He to the Western Seas had arrived.

“Duke Zheng, this young man can do it. If our brothers think he can pass this round, we will send him on his way!”In the light shadow, a muscular sailor with a dark face said directly. Then, the other light shadows nodded.

Zheng He nodded his head, nods his head, between his hands, in the grand hall, the stone wall, that one pair, the whole map of the universe, the one pair, the

Among the fleet, the most eye-catching ones were some treasure ships. The treasure ships were the largest ships in the fleet. They were 440 feet long and 180 feet wide. They had 9 masts and 12 sails. Their masts towered into the clouds. There were 4-storey palace buildings on the ships. They were exquisite and luxurious, just like palaces on the sea.

” Get on the ship. We brothers have decided to escort you and bring you across the Chaotic Sea in the void…” Zheng He said to Xia Pingan.

“Thank you so much!” Xia Ping ‘an did not decline. After he thanked Zheng He, he walked into the spatial passageway with Zheng He and boarded the largest treasure ship. After a short preparation, Zheng He gave the order and the treasure ship issued a signal. With a long horn, the entire fleet set off and sailed out of the port. They braved the wind and waves and entered the Sea of Chaos.
