I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Sudaman was very curious about this legendary emperor.

So Sudaman immediately became the deputy envoy of the diplomatic envoys and went with the chief envoy to meet the emperor of the Great Zhou!

Li Tian met with the Turkish envoys in the imperial study.

Receiving foreign envoys was a major event for the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so this time it was not arranged in the Imperial Study, but in the Golden Throne Hall which had not been used for a long time.

Ever since Li Tian cancelled the morning court, the Golden Palace has basically been out of use.

When several members of the Turkish delegation walked into the magnificent and gorgeous Throne Hall, Sudaman could not help but admire it, saying that it was worthy of being the powerful Eastern Empire.

The palaces are so magnificent!

Li Tian sat on the dragon chair and said, "Da Zhou is willing to accept the request of the Turkish Empire and join forces with Turkey to attack Bodan!"

The Turkish delegation was overjoyed!

I didn’t expect that Da Zhou would agree to the alliance so readily!

The two parties exchanged letters of credence, and the Turkish envoys will immediately return to Turkey to discuss how to jointly attack Bodan!

At this time, on the other side of the west, in the Turkish Palace of Constantinople.

The Emperor of Turkey was looking through the documents handed over by Cildavian.

The huge empire of Turkey was surrounded by enemies on all sides.

To the west are Western countries with different beliefs, which have always regarded Turkey as their biggest enemy.

He launched several crusades to the east and was Turkey's greatest rival.

Among them, the Austrians are the most hateful. These guys are the most dangerous enemies of Turkey's western defense line.

Now Weiner also has the Bustin family, which is rising rapidly through several generations of intermarriage.

In addition to the Western countries, the Turkish Empire also had an old enemy - the Russians in the north.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Russians are caught up in internal strife.

In recent years, the strength of the Russians has gradually weakened and they have gradually ceased to pose a threat to Turkey.

The Botans to the west of Turkey were also a very troublesome opponent.

The fourth king of Bodan is Liuku IV, who is also a rare wise ruler.

Bodan was integrated under his leadership and the Silk Road was cut off.

A major source of income for the Turkish Empire has always been the transportation of goods from the East.

Blocking the Silk Road had a huge impact on Turkey's finances.

These are all the problems facing this great empire.

We can only hope that the envoys can bring back good news from the Eastern Empire this time.

These emperors who are high and mighty also have their own troubles, and the common people also have troubles.

Hu Xiaoba is a young captain in Youzhou Port.

The imperial court lifted the maritime ban, and Youzhou, a historically famous excellent port, quickly prospered.

It is also because of the shortage of experienced captains that only young people like Hu Xiaoba are qualified to be captain.

He led the fleet from Youzhou Port, and Little Luzon was their destination.

Hu Xiaoba would purchase rubber in Little Luzon and then return to Youzhou.

Rubber is a special resin that grows in Luzon.

Farm workers on the plantations in Little Luzon peel open the trunks of rubber trees to collect the resin.

This resin is very elastic.

Hu Xiaoba didn't know what this rubber was used for.

I heard that steam engines need rubber to make seals and tires.

Anyway, Hu Xiaoba doesn’t understand these things.

Nowadays, new objects emerge in an endless stream. Although Hu Xiaoba studied at a captain's school, he can only do math, write, and survey and draw maps.

Hu Xiaoba still doesn't understand anything about mechanical things.

But his eight-year-old son was very interested in psychology.

Hu Xiaoba immediately took his son to enroll in the newly established official school.

After a simple test, his son was successfully admitted to school.

Hu Xiaoba was very satisfied!

I didn’t expect that my child is such a good student!

If you study psychology, you can take part in the imperial examinations, and if you pass, you can become an official in the court!

Even if he fails the imperial examination, he can become a mechanical engineer in the future, which will earn him much more than a captain like himself. Besides, I heard that all the workshops are vying to hire him!

It's much better than struggling in the ocean by yourself.

Hu Xiaoba became more motivated.

But at this time Hu Xiaoba was in distress.

A sudden storm caused Hu Xiaoba's ship to deviate from its course.

Now he could no longer see the fleet.

By looking at the stars to determine his position, Hu Xiaoba found himself in unfamiliar waters.

This is a place that is not marked on the South China Sea charts.

This is sad news.

All the sailors on the ship were from Hu Xiaoba's hometown.

This is true for almost all Youzhou crew members. Almost all people on a ship are from the same village, which makes them more united.

As the captain, Hu Xiaoba has a greater responsibility, he must ensure that the ship is brought back safely.

Hu Xiaoba didn't know where the storm had blown them.

The only good news is that there are still sufficient supplies on the ship.

After drifting on the sea for ten days, Hu Xiaoba’s supplies were almost running out.

But something worse happened.

They are even more lost.

Hu Xiaoba had been blown to a completely unfamiliar sea area.

But Hu Xiaoba still has to stay calm.

If he panicked first, the whole ship would be doomed.

Just when everyone was about to despair, the lookout on the bow shouted: "Bird, there are seabirds!"

All the crew members rushed out of the cabin!

seabirds!

Seabirds cannot fly over the sea all the time.

Will definitely build a nest on land.

So seeing seabirds is equivalent to seeing land!

Sure enough, the lookout immediately said, "There is land ahead!"

Hu Xiaoba immediately climbed up the gardenia pole, and he also saw a green continent!

land!

All the crew cheered!

As long as you land, it means you survive!

And this piece of green land means there must be water and plants here!

That way we can resupply on land, and maybe even find a route back home!

Now, all the crew members took their positions, and everyone worked together to sail towards the land that was not marked on the nautical chart!

Hu Xiaoba landed on this land.

He was surprised to find that this was actually a very vast continent!

Hu Xiaoba was confused. Isn't this an island?

Large tracts of forest and large tracts of land.

There are mountains, rivers, and no one in this vast land.

What on earth is this place?

Are there any animals here?

We could only eat canned food at sea, and after we deviated from the route, the supplies on the ship were quickly eaten up.

Everyone hasn't eaten meat for a long time.

Several crew members who knew how to hunt rushed into the woods.

After a while, they returned with a strange animal in their grasp.

What is this?

The animal looked like an oversized rat with a large pocket on its abdomen.

"Captain, there are a lot of these animals in the woods. They are so stupid that they don't run away when they see us, but run towards us to die!"

"There's also a particularly large chicken there that's taller than a human!"

Afterwards, Hu Xiaoba led the crew to cut down trees to repair the boat, and then replenished supplies while hunting.

I have to say, this strange rat meat is very unpalatable.
