He is a disabled person in the history books, but he is the strongest backbone of the empire.
Ma He traveled through time and became 11-year-old Zheng He. Seeing that the castration blade was about to fall, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky:
"Your Highness, the moon covers Venus tonight. It is a celestial phenomenon, and it is also a celestial sign."
The 8-year-old Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi put down the medicine bowl and looked with interest at the little captive who spoke astonishingly.
From then on, the gears of Ming's destiny began to turn crazily.
While other children were memorizing the Four Books and Five Classics, he was improving the gunpowder ratio in the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion. During the Battle of Jingnan, the explosive bombs he created frightened the Confederate army.
While civil servants were debating etiquette regulations, he drew drawings of watertight compartments at the Longjiang Shipyard. During seven voyages to the Western Ocean, the fleet he led made all the countries around the world look at the flag and worship him.
When historians recorded the prosperous age of Yongle, he promoted another revolution in the Gewuyuan: the prototype of the flintlock gun was born in the Ordnance Bureau, the Cape of Good Hope and America were marked on the world map, and the prototype of the steam engine first appeared in the drawings of "Yongle Dadian".
Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder: "Zheng He, what reward do you want?"
He bowed and said, "I am willing to build a pair of iron masts for the Ming Dynasty, and sail to the empire where all the seas and seas are surrendered. The sun and the moon will shine on me, the Ming Dynasty."
Many years later, standing at the top, he looked down at the world:
The Spanish prince studied Chinese at the Nanjing Imperial College, the Venetian caravans lined up to apply for trade concessions, and the Aztec gold flowed into the treasury along the route he planned...
[No system + Rejuvenating the country through science and technology + Struggle for sea power + Institutional innovation]
[From the edge of castration to the architect of the empire, he used modern knowledge to redefine the Ming Dynasty]
[No system, hard-core technology flow, every step of rise is well-founded]

Overall it's okay, just too little and not enough to watch.
