Jack took a deep breath and told everything he knew.
After he finished speaking, all he asked was that this devilish man would give him a quick death and not put his soul into that terrifying lamp.
To his surprise, after hearing what he said, the demon did not feed him to the fish, but instead had him locked up.
Li Chang'an sat on the deck, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, his mind constantly replaying Jack's words.
The Age of Exploration—that's what Jack called this era.
In his description, Western powers had begun to set their sights on the sea.
Every year, countless navigators sail around the world.
They discovered that the world was a sphere, and they also discovered the existence of other continents.
These discoveries sparked a sense of wonder and curiosity among some of the West's top experts as they explored the world.
Many people have assembled fleets of ships, preparing to expand their territories to every corner of the world.
The most notorious of all was the Yuda clan.
They are like a rootless weed, constantly absorbing nutrients from everywhere.
They first exploited people's sympathy to gain access to other people's land.
After establishing a firm foothold, they began to scheme for other people's wealth.
Finally, through various means, they occupy other people's territory and claim it as their own.
They even slaughtered the original races of this land and exploited others into their slavery.
After killing everyone, set up a Thanksgiving Day to thank others for giving up their land and farmland for their development and prosperity.
After plundering the wealth of this land, they began searching for the next country.
The Yu Da clan is like a poisonous vine, constantly seeking out large trees to absorb nutrients and grow stronger.
However, in a certain place, the Yuda clan encountered their mortal enemy.
A man named Seele, unable to tolerate the greed of the Yodda, exterminated them and turned them into soap.
When Jack first heard about this, he felt some sympathy for the Yuda clan.
After spending more time with the Yoda clan, he understood that Seele must have her reasons for doing this.
Besides the Yuda clan, there are other established powers in the West that also roam the seas.
They had been to the cold Tsarist Empire, the filthy Celestial Empire, and every corner of the world.
They never set foot in the mysterious Eastern Empire.
The clay bodhisattva has been sitting in the Ming Dynasty for years, and he hasn't been idle.
At least in the South China Sea, he has blocked most of the Western forces.
With Wang Xianzhi in charge of the East China Sea, Westerners rarely set foot in this country.
Their presence forced the Japanese pirates to operate under the guise of piracy, engaging in clandestine and clandestine activities.
Later, I heard from Chen Jinnan that after Mud Bodhisattva died, some of the Japanese pirates had the idea of attacking the Ming Dynasty.
According to Chen Jinnan, the little-known Confucian sage was certainly not as powerful as the clay bodhisattva.
So they assembled an army of 500,000 and sent many skilled warriors, hoping to conquer the lands of the Ming Dynasty.
Upon hearing this news, Jack brought Lucy along, hoping to establish their own country in this fertile land.
As a result, they were caught completely off guard and had no concerns whatsoever.
Li Chang'an appeared like this, and single-handedly routed their entire force.
An army of 500,000, and eighteen experts at the terrestrial immortal realm.
In just half an hour, it was beaten to pieces, its intestines and stomach flying everywhere.
He and Judas became the only two survivors.
But now, he's all alone.
After hearing Jack's description, Li Chang'an temporarily abandoned his plan to kill him.
After all, once the Japanese pirates were dealt with, the next thing to do was to expand their influence to the whole world.
Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king.
Li Chang'an certainly didn't want his future generations to have to learn some kind of bird language.
Chinese is the coolest language in the world, bar none.
However, he certainly couldn't manage to conquer the whole world by himself.
Therefore, we need talented people.
What Li Chang'an lacks most right now is talent.
Relying solely on Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong is definitely not enough.
As a conservative, Li Chang'an always felt that the radicals were too conservative.
Some Confucian ideas are too non-aggressive.
Especially among the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the ideal was to portray a weak and unassuming scholar as a gentleman who uses words rather than fists.
They completely lacked the magnanimous and virtuous qualities that Confucius possessed.
Back then, he led three thousand disciples and traveled everywhere to promote the spirit of Confucianism.
It relied on the Six Arts of a Gentleman: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.
Modern Confucianism only knows about rites and books.
Fortunately, he had plenty of time to slowly teach these Confucian disciples what it truly meant to win people over with virtue and what it meant to use persuasive language.
By the time Li Chang'an had figured things out, it was already late, and Zhang Xianzong had already ordered the boat to head back.
The bodies on the beach have been mostly disposed of, and the nearby seawater has been stained red.
The ships were also preserved without any damage. Now they are just waiting for Chen Da to arrive with his troops so they can set off for the island nation.
Originally, this process was going to be delayed, since the shipyard wasn't producing enough ships to carry 300,000 people.
However, this time when the Japanese pirates attacked, they sent over all the ships that Li Chang'an needed.
They also left him a group of prisoners who knew how to sail.
