Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 4 Big Kyushu said
The First Emperor lowered his eyebrows and looked...

The map is oval in shape, with mountains, rivers and rivers, but no borders.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Si to mark the borders of the country. The world map he will draw is the world map of the previous life.

Remember that the country is also the country of the previous life... How much is the territory of the Great Qin in this era, and what are the other countries? Zhao Si can't figure it out, how can he draw it?

Zhao Si only drew the general appearance of the seven continents and four oceans, and marked the landforms such as plateaus, hills, plains, and mountains.

As for the rivers and lakes, Zhao Si did not scribble. Even if his historical knowledge is not very good, he still knows that the rivers of this era are different from the modern ones.

Even the Yellow River has undergone many diversions, and the lakes and rivers of future generations will definitely be full of mistakes and mislead others when they are compared with the Great Qin Dynasty.

But in general, the basic pattern of the seven continents and four oceans was drawn, and there were also a large number of plateaus, hills, plains and ravines that were not easy to change, and Zhao Si also marked them one by one.

As for the more detailed ones that might change, Zhao Si planned to fill in the drawings after personally inspecting them in the future.

Even if it is not very detailed, Zhao Si can be regarded as the first world map of this era.

There are two copies of one map, and next to the world map is a sea chart drawn by Zhao Si.

It records the sailing direction in the past five years and the islands and lands that are more convenient for mooring.

At the same time, it also plays a part of supplementary role to the world map.

"Where is the Great Qin?" Shi Huang asked.

Zhao Si stepped forward, looked at the world map and roughly circled a place.

Now the territory of Daqin is far less than that of later generations, it only occupies the Central Plains, and it is great to count Lingnan.The plateau area and the places further north are not considered the territory of Daqin.

"Caomin was still young before going to sea, so I can only draw an outline..."

The First Emperor noticed that the land of Great Qin encircled by Zhao Si's finger was extremely small compared to the entire world map.

"Here, here, is there a big country?"

The first emperor pointed to America and Africa.

This is the livable zone marked by Zhao Si himself.

It is worth mentioning that Africa is not the image of the sky full of yellow sand and drought that often appears on TV.

In fact, except for the desert, a large part of Africa is a livable zone. Even if you look at the world, it is rare to have a pleasant climate. Fill the stomach.

Needless to say, America, although undeveloped and full of mosquito miasma, is obviously more livable than the barren and hot Middle East and cold Northern Europe.

Of course, it is inevitable to pay a lot of cost for development.

"There is no country, most of them are tribes, large and small, born barbarians, uneducated!" Zhao Si said.

"The race here is the same as that of the people in the Central Plains. They are made up of tribes, and there are many tribes, big and small. The crew of the Caomin Commander landed here, and they were given drinks, fruits, and food to satisfy their hunger. They traded with each other with weapons. Although they were not educated, they Easy to communicate." Zhao Si pondered for a moment and pointed to Africa to continue speaking.

"The people here have skin as black as ink, faces like ghosts, and they are predatory. Because of the pleasant climate, they can live without farming. They are lazy and predatory..."

"What about this place?" The First Emperor pointed to Europe, which is also the livable zone marked by Zhao Si.

"There may be a city-state here, but the language is not fluent, and the grassroots people don't know it very well. The people here have eagle noses and different eyes. They have red hair, black hair, brown hair, blond hair... different shapes."

The First Emperor nodded slightly. Objectively speaking, Europe is not too far from Great Qin.It's just that the land in the northwest is barren and difficult to pass through. I'm afraid we have to go by sea.

Africa and America are a little far away from Daqin, and even going back and forth by sea may take a long time.

Out of habit, Emperor Shihuang instinctively weighed the cost of sending troops and the problems he might face after being ruled, and found that no matter which place seemed to be too far away, it was almost impossible to convey the king's order.

Moreover, each of these regions is vaster than the Great Qin, and Qin is somewhat powerless to swallow up six countries with one country, let alone go across such a distance to swallow the world.

Besides, no one can say whether the map given by the boy in front of him is true or not.

After all, there is no so-called world map in this era. Zhao Si was the first group of people to travel around the world. No one can prove what he said.

Moreover, the first emperor keenly discovered that the world map drawn by Zhao Si and the description of the livable areas actually told the Great Kyushu that certain places could be taken care of.

Although the ancients never had the feat of traveling around the world, they had more or less guesses about the outside world.

The ancients believed that the sky is round and the land has Kyushu. Kyushu refers to the livable generation of the Central Plains. Except for Kyushu, there are some corners and corners. Zhuxia has already occupied the most extensive territory in the world.

During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Kyushu theory has always been the mainstream understanding of the world.

By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the development and expansion of the times, the footprints of Zhuxia continued to expand outward, and the limitations of the Kyushu theory became greater and greater.

Zou Yan, the founder of the Five Elements Theory, a representative figure of Onmyophysics, put forward the Great Kyushu Theory.

The so-called Chinese are 81 percent of the world.The Chinese name is Chixian Shenzhou.Chixian Shenzhou has its own Kyushu, and the Kyushu in the order of Yu is also the same, and it cannot be counted as a number of states.

In China, there are nine Shenzhous such as Chixian County, which are the so-called Kyushu.So there is a Bohai Sea around it, and the people and animals can't communicate with each other, just like those in a district, it is a state.

Nine times like this, there is the Daying Sea surrounding it, the boundary between heaven and earth.

That is to say, China is only 81/[-] of the universe, and the Kyushu mentioned by Dayu is just the Kyushu under Chixian Shenzhou.

And outside the world, like Chixian Shenzhou, there are nine more, separated by mountains and oceans, never to meet each other, so the customs are different from those of Zhuxia.This is Naka Kyushu.

For example, there are nine states in the middle of Kyushu, which are separated and do not touch each other. This is the Greater Kyushu.

Compared with the small Kyushu theory, Zou Yan's Big Kyushu theory was more perfect, and it quickly became popular.

When the first emperor ruled the world, the lands of the Xia were mixed together, and the market for the Little Kyushu theory declined again. Because of Qin’s system and lack of awareness of the outside world after Qin’s unification, the Great Kyushu theory once became the officially recognized mainstream theory.

It is impossible for the First Emperor not to understand the Great Kyushu theory.

After Daqin ruled the world, Daqin's military merit system, and Daqin's desire to continue foreign wars in the future, all need the theoretical support of the Great Kyushu.

The world map that Zhao Si sent up has a bit of the shadow of Da Kyushu.

The rich and powerful Qin Dynasty is only a corner of the world.

The livable environment is not limited to Daqin, and there are many lands worthy of Daqin's conquest.

It's just that some places still don't correspond to Greater Kyushu.

Of course, Zhao Si didn't know what Da Kyushu said. As a history buff, it was not bad to be able to know about the death of Da Qin II, and to be able to mention a few famous people.

After all, in Zhao Si's impression, Kyushu has always referred to the land of the Central Plains... um... After all, it has long been a stereotype that the Central Plains has a vast land and rich resources and looks down on barbarians and barren lands.

(ps: The protagonist did not name the land outside, and the naming will not follow modern names such as Australia and Europe. I used to read novels and always felt that the protagonist used Europe, Australia and America when he discovered the New World. This time it is my turn to write with big Let’s use the theory of Kyushu theory to name and divide.)
