Chapter 940 The Navigating Hero Zheng He
The latest website: Zheng He, the protagonist of the Seven Voyages to the West, stood in front of Chu Tian, and Chu Tian was in awe.
If the Zheng He era had the idea of establishing colonies instead of the tributary system, perhaps it was Zheng He who opened the age of great voyages.
In "The Lord", Zheng He's position seems to be the commander of the navy, just like Drake in England, Columbus in Italy, and Ottoman's red-bearded brothers, he is a seafaring hero.
Chutian immediately checked Zheng He's ability to locate him conveniently.

Restriction - the acceleration effect conflicts, that is, the acceleration effect cannot be superimposed with general characteristics and treasures)
...
Seeing Zheng He's astonishing ability, Chu Tian was somewhat surprised.
Zheng He actually has the exclusive characteristics of SSS level, and it is also a nautical characteristic.
Zheng He is best at dealing with... Southeast Asian civilizations?
It is said that during Zheng He's seven voyages to the West, he often bullied the countries in Southeast Asia, regarded them as vassal states, and named them kings in the name of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.
Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, and occasionally wiped out pirates in Southeast Asia while doing business. In fact, Zheng He's ability to fight is not bad.
Unlike the impression given by eunuchs who harmed the government, served as supervisors and commanded chaos, Zheng He's ability and contribution made him one of the few positive figures among eunuchs.
At present, Chutian has Kautilya who suppresses the Indian Peninsula, Queen Himiko who governs Japan, and Zheng He who has a suppressive effect on Southeast Asian civilization.
These legendary figures have not yet exerted their maximum value, but in the future, with the existence of this group of legendary figures, the difficulty of conquering the Indian Peninsula, the four islands of Japan, and Southeast Asia will be much reduced.
Zheng He should be one of the top naval generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Even though he only got Zheng He, Chu Tian could roughly guess that different naval generals have different abilities they focus on.
Zheng He is good at sea navigation, Zhou Yu is good at fire attack, Zheng Chenggong is good at firearms.
The interesting point of "Lord" is that although there are thousands of generals, most of them can find some bright spots, which are different from other generals.
Zheng He also brought his own special treasure "Zheng He's Nautical Chart".
The effect of "Zheng He's Nautical Chart" is equivalent to a weakened version of the SSS-level feature "Seven Voyages to the West".
Although the effect of the treasure is not as good as the hero characteristic, the treasure can be passed on forever, and its value is no less than an SSS-level characteristic.
Recruiting Zheng He also brought his own treasures, this time earning blood.
It's a pity that Zheng He, as the eunuch of the Three Treasures, has no offspring, otherwise a second nautical hero might be born.
The so-called dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, Temujin's golden family, and Sun Jian's Jiangdong family all prove the importance of genes.
"The minister holds this thing, and it is useless. I would like to present it to the lord."
Zheng He presented "Zheng He's Nautical Chart" to Chutian.
For Zheng He, who has SSS-level navigation characteristics, "Zheng He Navigation Chart" is really useless, and the navigation acceleration effect also conflicts with his characteristics.
Obviously, "Zheng He's Nautical Chart" will be more useful for other navigators to use.
Chu Tian took the treasure and discovered that the original name of "Zheng He's Navigation Map" was "A Map of Sailing from the Treasure Shipyard, Out of Longjiang Pass, and Directly to Foreign Lands"...
Chutian originally complained that the names of people in the West were long enough, but he found that his ancestors sometimes gave very long names.
"Zheng He's Nautical Chart" can only trigger the effect when sailing on the Maritime Silk Road, which means that it has no effect yet.
So Chutian planned to send "Zheng He's Navigation Chart" to his treasure house.
Chutian's treasury has hoarded a lot of good things.
"Essentials of the Qi Min", "Essentials of Taiping", "Mr. Wei's Art of War", "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival", and the construction drawings of the Great Wall, Genyue, Weiyang Palace and other miracles...
Any piece of treasure is priceless.
Chutian also has generals Mo Xie, Chi Xiaojian, famous horse Jueying, and Sa Luzi.
As soon as there were many treasures, Chu Tian didn't care much about them.
"The Fubo Legion captured Ganghwa Island in Goryeo, and is currently retreating to Dongnae County, Qingzhou to rest. You go to the station of the Fubo Army in Dongnae County."
Since Zheng He arrived on land, the command value will drop by 10 points, and the bonus is basically only effective for the fleet, so Chutian sent him to Donglai County.
Donglai County is one of the camps of the Fubo Army.
Zheng He soon went to Dongnai County to join the Fubo Army.
"Perhaps it's time to expand the Fubo Legion into an army with five fleets."
Chutian raised the Fubo Army to the same status as the Central Plains Army, Xiliang Army, and Huainan Army.
Then, Zheng He, Yu Yunwen, Zheng Zhilong, Li Sunchen, and Xu Sheng each led a fleet and divided powers to check and balance.
The estimated size of the Fubo Army is 300,000 sailors, with an average fleet of 60,000 people and about 500 ships.
After deciding on the expansion plan of the Fubo Army, Chu Tian checked the list of items that could be exchanged.
The props that can be exchanged for this national war are different from the past.
In national wars, there will usually be special props that cannot be obtained in the main world, and each prop is priceless.
"A summoning order for legion sources?"
Chu Tian saw an amazing prop.
[Name]: Legion Source Summoning Order
[Rank]: special props
[Effect]: You can summon the corresponding soldiers for the legion, with a total of 20,000 points. Summoning tier 1-4 troops consumes 1 point; summoning 5-6 tier troops consumes 2 points; summoning 7-tier troops consumes 4 points; summoning 8 tier troops To summon a Tier 9 troop, it consumes 8 points; to summon a Tier 9 troop, it consumes 16 points; to summon a Tier 10 troop, it consumes 32 points. When all the points are consumed, the item disappears.
[Required points]: 10,000 points
【Possession limit】: 99 pieces
Chu Tian read the introduction of the "Legion Source Summoning Order" and immediately understood that the value of this item is extraordinary.
At present, the Knights of the Round Table, the French National Defense Army, and the Hussite Legion of the Kingdom of Bohemia are not fully staffed because Chutian lacks a suitable source of troops and sometimes needs to purchase population from Europe.
However, if there is a "Legion Source Summoning Order", you can recruit special arms such as the Knights of the Round Table and the French National Defense Army in your own territory.
Not only that, but the Roman eagle flag, which has been dusty in the warehouse for a long time, can finally be used.
For the lords who have foreign generals, this is a god-level item, which can supplement the troops of foreign generals.
The downside of this prop is that it is expensive.
A summoning order has 20,000 points, and the Roman legion is a 7th-tier unit. A Roman soldier consumes 4 points, which is equivalent to 10,000 points, and can provide a source of troops for a 5,000-member Roman legion.
This does not mean that 10,000 points is enough.
A Roman legion must have at least two summoning orders, one is used to form the Roman legion, and the other is used to supplement the loss of the Roman legion when the loss of the Roman legion occurs.
From a more secure point of view, a Roman legion needs 3-4 summoning orders.
After all, Chu Tian didn't know when he would get the recruitment order next time.
Chutian owns two Roman eagle flags, a total of 2 Roman legions can be formed, and 6 summoning orders are needed, that is to say, 60,000 points are consumed.
For the French National Defense Army, each source of troops needs 2 points, and a summoning order can provide 10,000 French National Defense Army with military resources.
Joan of Arc can recruit up to 30,000 French National Guards, so 3 summoning orders are required. According to Chutian's prudent principle, 6 summoning orders are required.
Siphias' western teaching group is the seventh-order heavy cavalry, 4,000 people, and the principle of caution, Chutian prepared 3 summoning orders for him.
Chutian prepared 6 summoning orders for Jieshika's Hussite army.
King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table currently seems to have a limit of 200 people, just prepare 2 summoning orders for them.
The units of Queen Himiko of Yamatai have not been unlocked, and there is no need to form a legion for her. Moreover, as long as the Kyushu Island in Japan is conquered, the hidden army of Queen Himiko, the Miko, can be recruited without a summoning order.
In total, a total of 23 summoning orders are required, consuming 230,000 points.
Chutian still has almost 520,000 points left.
Chu Tian checked other items on the list.
At present, the Chutian forces do not lack infantry, cavalry, crossbows, and trebuchets. He prefers to check firearms-related props.
The firearms of the Han Empire are relatively scarce. It is possible that Chutian will consider expanding the scale of the Shenji Battalion and increasing the number of Hongyi cannons.
The Hongyi cannon lost in the national war was replenished by the system to Chutian.
Chutian has 24 Hongyi cannons, but cannot get supplies.
Not only should there be firearms, but more importantly, a steady stream of supplies. Firearms without supplies are like broken copper.
