Regarding Su Yonglin's grand ideal, Tian Guizi thought of the huge world map Su Yonglin hung in the palace.
Tian Qizi has always been surprised by that map.
He was one of the earliest followers of Su Yonglin and one of the earliest followers of Su Yonglin when his father, who died young, was still alive. Therefore, he was one of the first people to know about the concept of the world.
At that time, they were just a group of private salt dealers, and Su Yonglin explained the concept of the world in the training class he gave them.
Su Yonglin also hand-drawn a crude map of the world to show them, telling them where this place is, what place there is, what is here, and what is there.
The world is so big, I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands of miles it is.
There are so many ethnic groups, so many countries, so many civilizations, so many popular stories in the world. These are all very attractive.
At that time, they felt very surprised. On the one hand, they were surprised that the world was so vast, and on the other hand, they were also surprised as to why Su Yonglin knew about it.
The explanation given by Su Yonglin was that when he was very young, before they joined, he learned about it from an old subordinate of his grandfather who had passed away. It was said that the old subordinate had been to the distant land of Europa.
Tian Guizi and several people who were close to him discussed the matter in private at the time. They felt that Su Yonglin had no reason to lie to them, and that the map and some information were too detailed and did not look like they were made up now.
But Su Yonglin actually believed everything the old subordinate said and still remembered it so clearly. This...
Later, they were busy with the great revolution and survival, and each had their own problems, so they gradually neglected this matter. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that this matter was mentioned again by Su Yonglin, and several old friends also began to consider it again. meaning of things.
Is the world really that big, with so many magical beings and the existence of so many civilizations in other countries?
But even if you know these things, is it so easy to draw something like a map?
It is said that the world map Su Yonglin hung in his study was the result of the help of a master who specialized in map drawing. He dictated it himself, and then the artist painted it. Although most of it was just the outline of the continental massif, there were still some places where mountains and rivers were even painted. part of the mark.
The old subordinates have a consensus on this matter.
Either Grandpa Su Yonglin's old subordinate was a magical and awesome person who once traveled around the world and recorded the local terrain. Then he didn't tell anyone, not even his family, but passed it on to Su Yonglin in private.
Either Su Yonglin really has some magical abilities that no one expected and can know things that ordinary people don't know.
Based on his series of decisions and actions before and since the incident, they generally tend to the latter view.
Although Su Yonglin often emphasized that he was a human being, not a god, he also clearly emphasized in Hongwu's political treatise that there are no strange forces and gods in the world, only great people. He also asked everyone to believe that everything is the law of nature, and that nature is an infinite and huge existence. Human beings Existing in nature and following natural laws.
No one can escape the laws of nature.
But his actions and great achievements make it difficult for people to identify him as a person.
Everyone is willing to take a step back.
If he says he is not God, then he may not really be God.
But he didn't say that he wasn't God's subordinate, student, or son.
He may be a great being like a missionary who came to save the world after receiving an oracle, but he cannot be a normal person.
How could a normal person do this?
Overthrowing the Jin Kingdom, creating the Ming Kingdom, leading the revolution, liberating the people, emphasizing human rights, and single-handedly leading the creation of such a powerful existence as firearms. Now he has to open up a great route to find enough gold and silver for the Ming Dynasty.
It can only be said that the more Su Yonglin is like this, the harder it becomes for people to believe that he is an ordinary person, and more and more people are willing to believe that he is not an ordinary person.
If the fleet can really find a huge amount of gold, silver, and copper, it will further confirm their little suspicion that Su Yonglin is a mysterious and benevolent existence who is here to lead them through the difficulties and out of the sea of suffering.
If it is confirmed, their doubts will be lifted, and there will be nothing to say about the future.
Whatever he says is what he says. Follow him without any doubts. Anyway, as long as you follow him, there will be absolutely no problems. Everyone will definitely be able to move towards the ultimate ideal world under his leadership.
Even if he says that he is no longer the emperor, it doesn't matter, because whether he is the emperor or not does not hinder what he wants to say or do.
They believe in the Ming Emperor and follow the Ming Emperor because the Ming Emperor is Su Yonglin, not because Su Yonglin is the Ming Emperor.
Even if he is no longer the Ming Emperor, it doesn't matter, really, it doesn't matter at all.
At least it really doesn't matter here at Tian Guizi.
Su Yonglin obviously didn't realize that what he did had deeply affected the hearts of everyone who followed him. He just followed his own goals and heart and did what he should do.
At this moment, Tian Guizi has tended to believe that Su Yonglin is an omnipotent benevolent existence, and this is a serious trend, with only the last little wavering left.
He is waiting for the results.
"I already know the speech you delivered in Zhongdu. I am not saying that I am against it. I just feel that if we really want to achieve world revolution, how big will it be? How long will it take to achieve it?"
"I don't know, it might take a hundred or two hundred years, or maybe a thousand or two thousand years."
Su Yonglin laughed and said: "We can't see it anymore, but until the last moment of my life, I will not give up this ideal. I will keep fighting until the last moment."
"It's so far away, so it's hard to get there, right?"
Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin: "For example, in the land of Europa, if we want to send troops there, it will take a year and a half, right? Or is there any shortcut?"
Su Yonglin shook his head.
"So I say, people don't have to pass, but thoughts must pass. Back then, we were able to let Zhao Yucheng take 108 people to Jiangnan West Road, and then exchanged it for Jiangxi Province. Isn't this a success? Case?"
Tian Guizi lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
"But the people over there can't understand what we say, and they may not believe us. After all, Jiangnan West Road has the same culture and race as us. If we really move to another place, mutual trust between us will be a big problem, right? ?”
Su Yonglin still shook his head.
"That's why I don't start taking action now. Instead, I will start from now on extensively cultivating interpreters in Quanzhou and Guangzhou who can speak various languages and are proficient in various languages, so that they can understand the local languages and local culture, and then Then formulate targeted policies.
I believe that no matter how different the languages and characters are, no matter how different the local culture is, oppression and being oppressed are eternal themes. No matter what the method is, there is a clear distinction between superior people and cattle. As long as we have this foundation, there is nothing we can't do. There is no team that we cannot build up! "
Tian Guizi had nothing to say.
The person in front of him has taken all his doubts into consideration and all the prerequisites have been arranged, so what else can he worry about?
He was left with the only option left.
He even felt that he might only have one option left from now on.
"Thankfully you are the emperor and the chairman, otherwise you would have been treated as a madman."
