"Since Cai Lian was proclaimed king, his subordinates have also developed to the extreme, and they have already threatened Taiwan's security."

Gao Zhuang talked eloquently: "If it is just an ordinary pirate group, then there is a limit to how much the Qing court attaches importance to it, but Cai Lian actually dares to be the king, and he also blatantly rebels, which naturally exceeds the tolerance limit of the imperial court." After hearing the news, the Qing court immediately dispatched sailors from Fujian and Zhejiang provinces to requisition and suppress them. ”

During this period, after three or four years of maneuvering, both sides have their own victories and defeats. But after all, Cai Lian's subordinates were only pirates, and after fighting for a few years, when they saw that the Qing court was powerful, they had the idea of retreating, causing a split. Coupled with the fact that with one county, after all, it is impossible to compete with the officers and soldiers of the two provinces, and Cai Lian's forces are getting smaller and smaller, and he is finally outnumbered. ”

Between speaking, Gao Zhuang also sighed a little: "When I was surrounded and suppressed for the last time, I couldn't escape because of the leakage at the bottom of the boat." He was unwilling to surrender, so he fired a cannon and sank his ship, sinking him and his wife and a small group into the sea. In this way, the Cai Lian pirate group was destroyed, but his remaining subordinates, after some annexation, formed a new pirate force. ”

"However, the new pirate forces also became smarter, and they did not dare to put forward any slogans against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, until after the late Qing Dynasty, when they saw the weakening of the imperial court, they became rampant again."

Gao Zhuang shook his head and sighed softly: "Speaking of which, the main purpose of pirates in the Ming and Qing dynasties was not necessarily to loot, but to smuggle. It is a pity that most of the smugglers at that time were local gentry, as well as officers and soldiers of the naval division. When you see someone robbing business, you must be exterminated by force. Originally, he wasn't a pirate, but Mr. Hard was forced to become a pirate. ”

"Closed off the country, the distribution of interests is unreasonable, and it is naturally easy to cause trouble." Wang Guan nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "You know so much about this matter, do you think that Cai Lian may leave any treasures?" ”

"Almost."

Gao Zhuang smiled. also honestly admitted: "When I was looking for information about the shipwreck, I overheard someone talk about it, so I took the opportunity to study it carefully." ”

"Treasure shipwreck, what treasure shipwreck?" Tao Dou asked in surprise.

"Salvage shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea."

At this time, Gao Zhuang casually explained: "The nature of our work is to salvage shipwrecks on the seabed, and the process is very boring and very hard......"

Perhaps, this is the reason why Gao Zhuang understood Tao Dou's hint, but did not answer positively. Even if Tao Dou wants to work on a ship. But he can't endure this hardship, and he can't give special care, so don't respond at all. lest one over the other, a group of brothers under his command have opinions.

The reason why a group of brothers are willing to follow Gao Zhuang is not only because he is righteous and has not forgotten his brothers when he is developed, but also because he is very fair and just, and everyone is naturally convinced and cohesive. If you can't even make a basic distinction between rewards and punishments. People's hearts are naturally scattered, where can they still lead a good team.

Tao Dou didn't understand this reason, but I heard that Gaozhuang was salvaging the sunken ship. All sorts of news reports popped into my head. How many tons of gold and silver treasures were fished out of the wreck, how many precious cultural relics and porcelain were found in the wreck, and so on. These real-life examples are the direct cause that inspired many people to salvage shipwrecks.

In this regard, Tao Dou must not be able to resist this temptation. When I thought about it, I was about to come out. If it weren't for barely being a little sober, it was estimated at this time. has already knelt down and hugged Gao Zhuang's thick legs.

"Cai Lian was exterminated, so there should be no treasure to pass down."

At the same time, Wang Guan smiled and said, "As for his shipwreck, you can look for it." The problem is that more than two hundred years have passed, and the shipwreck must have been buried by the sediment on the seabed, and it is not so easy to find. ”

"Didn't plan to find his shipwreck." Gao Zhuang shook his head and said, "It's just a moment of curiosity to understand the situation." ”

"The ......"

At this moment, Tao Dou suddenly said: "Actually, it may not be impossible to find his shipwreck......"

"What?"

For a moment, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang were stunned, a little puzzled.

"I mean, someone might know the whereabouts of the shipwreck."

Tao Dou hesitated, turned his heart sideways, and said solemnly: "It's not a secret, in fact, the ancestor of our Tao family was once taken captive to be pirates. It wasn't until the pirate group was destroyed that he absconded back......"

Suddenly, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion. This is too fake, just talking about pirates, Tao Dou burst out of this "secret story", which is really unbelievable.

"It's true."

Sensing the suspicion of the two, Tao Dou was a little anxious, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "You have also seen that dragon painting." The painting is the Sea Dragon King, according to my grandfather, it was specially asked to be painted when Cai Lian was the king. At that time, when my ancestor was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, he saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately secretly absconded, and took the painting back with him. ”

"I hid on the island for more than ten years, and only after the situation was completely calm, did I get together and have children. During this period, I also wanted to sell the painting for money, but considering that the painting was taboo, I didn't dare to make a statement, but passed it on from generation to generation. Tao Dou swore and said: "That's an ancestral relic, otherwise how could my sister be so nervous, and even willing to spend money to redeem it." ”

"Really?"

This sounds like there is some truth in that. After all, it is a lie made up, and it cannot be so reasonable. For a moment, the two of them were somewhat convinced.

"Of course." Tao Dou pointed to the sky and swore: "If I am deceived at all, call me ...... I've been poor all my life. ”

It can be heard that this oath must be "poisonous" enough for Tao Dou. After all, he is very uneasy about the status quo and wants to change this poor family situation. However, if you want to change the predicament, some people work hard until the day they get ahead. Others daydream every day, hoping that pie will fall from the sky.

There is no doubt that Tao Dou falls into the latter category. Judging from the fact that he dared to eat the overlord's meal without money, this person's character ...... It's really not that good. For this reason, no matter how poisonous Tao Dou's oath is, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang are still suspicious and cannot be fully trusted. This is also human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Guan smiled and said, "Do you really know the location of the shipwreck?" Then can you take us there, if you find the wreck, we can count you as a part of what is salvaged. ”

"Uh......"

At the right time, Tao Dou laughed awkwardly and hesitated: "It's not that I know, but my dad...... This kind of confidential thing must have been told to my grandfather before he died. ”

"Oh."

For a moment, Wang Guan was a little disappointed. After a long time, it turned out that everything was just Tao Dou's conjecture, and it couldn't be taken seriously at all. It's also that his self-cultivation is better, if he changes to someone else, he may be scolded directly. It's understandable to be crazy about money, but you can't make up stories randomly.

"Absolutely." Tao Dou said eagerly: "I remember when I was a child, I often saw my grandfather studying drawings and asked him what he was doing, and he said he was looking for a baby. If you don't believe me, you can ask my dad, he must know the details. ”

Sounds a bit reliable.

"It's almost there."

Wang Guan groaned, turned his head and said, "Why don't you go back?" ”

"Okay."

Gao Zhuang nodded in agreement, and there were two points of expectation.

"Really, I'm telling the truth......" Thinking that the two didn't believe it, Tao Dou naturally emphasized, and hated to cut out his heart and liver so that the two of them could see it clearly.

Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang smiled, and they didn't say they didn't believe it, and of course they didn't immediately believe it. It is impossible to believe such a thing simply by listening to Tao Dou's one-sided words and believing it to be true. However, if you don't believe it, I kind of hope it's true. The reason why he did not express his position was nothing more than hoping that Tao Dou would come up with more evidence.

For this point, after Tao Dou defended a few words, he suddenly understood: "Go, go back, go and ask my dad." He must know something inside......"

Between speaking, Tao Dou led the way in front. Soon after, he returned to the Tao family. As soon as he walked into the hall, Tao Dou bluntly shouted: "Dad, do you know the pirate king Cai Lian?" ”

"What?"

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Know, or don't you know?" Tao Dou urged: "Give an accurate number." ”

"I must know."

Tao Tao replied casually, and as soon as his words fell, Tao Dou turned back excitedly and said, "Brother Gao, look, I just said it, he must know something." ”

"What's the situation?" At the same time, Tao Tao was also a little puzzled: "Is it Cai Lian's situation?" Then I do know a few ......"

"It's good to know." Tao Dou hurriedly asked, "Then where is his shipwreck?" ”

"What shipwreck?"

Suddenly, Tao Tao was stunned: "Where did the shipwreck come from?" ”

"It's Cai Lian's shipwreck."

Tao Dou frowned and said, "Dad, don't hide it." In the past, we didn't have the ability, and even if we knew the specific location, we couldn't salvage it. But now it's different, Big Brother Gao specializes in this. He is a kind man, as long as we tell him the news, and then salvage the wreck. Whatever the benefits, he will definitely not forget our ......"

"Salvaging a shipwreck?"

At this time, Tao Tao was very surprised, and then shook his head and said: "Douzi, I don't know where you heard any news, and you want to get rich and want to go crazy, you actually think I know the location of the shipwreck." But I can tell you now that I haven't heard of any shipwrecks. ”

"How could it not be clear."

At the right time, Tao Dou was a little anxious, and simply shouted: "When I was young, my grandfather had already told me." Our ancestors were born as pirates, and they were later defeated by the imperial court, so they became good citizens. But before recruiting An, because he was afraid of extortion from the officers and soldiers, he buried things like gold and silver treasures......"

"Did your grandfather really say that?" Tao Tao was stunned: "How come I have never heard of it." ”

"That's making up a story."

At this moment, Tao Li walked out and sneered: "I was also present at that time, and he pestered grandpa to go out to play, but grandpa didn't want to move, so he simply made up a story to divert his attention." Unexpectedly, he actually believed ......" (to be continued......
