Chapter 82 Zheng He's Navigation Chart 3
Zhao Mingfeng shook his head at this time and said: "That treasure ship has been sinking for nearly a hundred years, and it is far away in the Western Ocean thousands of miles away, I don't know what secret makes my father pay so much attention?" Even if the wreck was full of treasures, we would not be able to brave the wind and waves to get it. ”
Zhao Chen said: "The secret I am talking about is this shipwreck that carries countless treasures, but things are not so simple, and I have been keeping this secret for many years for another reason. Xiaosheng smiled at this time: "Brother Zhao Chen built a ship and went to sea, to follow the route of Zheng He, go to the West to explore treasures, and fish for the treasures on the sunken ship, this is a big secret, in addition to this, can there be any other reason?" Zhao Chen shook his head and said: "I personally built a ship and went to sea to explore the treasure on the sunken ship, this is only one of them, but it is not the main reason, thinking that my Zhao family's wealth is already the best in the world, there is no need to take this risk." ”
When Xiao Sheng heard this, he nodded and said, "Brother Zhao Chen is not the kind of person who doesn't want his life for some treasure, but this move is still incomprehensible. Zhao Chen smiled: "Zhao just wants to fulfill a wish of his family for many years." When Xiaosheng, Zhao Mingfeng, and Fang Guolian heard this, they were even more puzzled. Fang Guochuan said: "I don't know what kind of wish Uncle Zhao wants to fulfill? Why do you have to pay such a big price to build a ship and go to sea yourself? Zhao Chen said: "A few words but can't explain it, please Chu, I'll start from the beginning with this shipwreck." ”
Zhao Chen said at this time: "Zheng He led the fleet to the Western Ocean for the second time, because of the trade along the way and the treasures presented by various countries, it can be said that there are countless ones, but the main one is not here. According to these journals, the fleet was stopped by a group of powerful pirates at sea, and Zheng He led the officers and men of the ship to defeat the group of pirates and destroy the thieves' nest in order to eliminate future troubles. Navigation: The army chased to an island, punished the thieves and the crowd, searched their nests, accidentally got treasures in a cave, the number of rare treasures has never been seen, I don't know how many generations of thieves can gather this huge, can be a big country. Xiaosheng, Zhao Mingfeng, and Fang Guochuan were surprised when they heard this.
Zhao Chen continued: "At that time, Zheng He unexpectedly discovered the huge treasures that these pirates had plundered for many generations, and he was also stunned, and then ordered someone to transfer it to the sea ship, which actually filled the entire largest sea ship. Xiao Sheng was shocked when he heard this: "So many! This treasure is so abundant, I wonder how many merchant ships and how many countries have been plundered by those pirates? ”
Zhao Chen then said: "That treasure was all loaded on a large sea ship, Zheng He saw this unexpected gain, and was very surprised, and immediately sailed back to China. However, on the way, they were attacked by the remnants of the pirate Banko, and the pirates somehow did something to the bottom of the ship, which was full of treasures, and then the ship sank to the bottom of the sea. Zheng He sent the sailors into the water to salvage, but unfortunately the sea water was too deep and the sailors did not have enough strength, so they ended in failure, and they did not even have time to pick up a single one. Zheng He had no choice but to mark the shipwreck on the nautical chart in order to salvage it in the future. After returning to China, Zheng He never forgot about this matter, and went to the West seven times, at least three of which were to salvage the treasures on the shipwreck. Every time he recruited good water people in the country, he passed through the sunken land to salvage, but unfortunately every time he sacrificed and could not succeed, Zheng He had to give up later, which became the regret of his life. ”
Xiaosheng said at this time: "Zheng He pays so much attention to this shipwreck, which shows that the treasures on the ship are wonderful. Brother Zhao Chen built a ship, went to sea to explore and hunt for treasures, and the nature of a businessman is not an exaggeration. When Zhao Chen heard this, he shook his head and smiled, and then said: "After Zheng He returned from his last mission to the West, he destroyed all the charts on this matter, in case people with different intentions got it, and the idea book was salvaged and caused trouble to the world." ”
Fang Guolian said at this time: "Zheng He destroyed all the charts of this shipwreck, and where did Uncle Zhao's picture scrolls come from?" ”
Zhao Chen said: "This matter is a long story, I bartered in Jiangsu and Zhejiang when I was young, and I helped a family, and the owner of the family was named Liu Haishun, maybe I was different, or he was useless to keep this secret, so he was with me these picture scrolls." At the same time, let me promise that I will keep this secret forever, and if I go out to sea to find it, I will do it again after forty years. When I asked why, Liu Hai told him by the way that his grandfather had accompanied Zheng He on an envoy to the West, so he knew about it in detail. His grandfather was a man of heart, and he wrote everything down in his own nautical chronicles, so that he wanted to leave some hope for his grandson, but he ordered his descendants to act only after two generations, because he wanted people to forget about it and make plans again. ”
After hearing this, Xiaosheng shook his head and said: "That Liu Haishun's grandfather's private storage of these navigation chronicles and picture scrolls can only increase people's curiosity and adventure. And the ship's treasure sank at the bottom of the Western Ocean, thousands of miles away, and the mark on the navigation chart, the difference is a millimeter, and it is lost thousands of miles, how can we find the specific location of the shipwreck? It is all this can be done, but it is also impossible to salvage, the sea is deep, dim, the water is overwhelming, often due to lack of strength, diving people are very dangerous. Brother Zhao Chen is a practical person, how can he do this illusory thing? Fang Guohuan heard it and nodded secretly.
Zhao Chen sighed at this time and said: "What Brother Xiaosheng said is true, this secret seems to be an unrealizable secret, but it is precisely because of this secret that there is Baguio Villa and today's Zhao Family's foundation in Jiangnan." When Xiaosheng, Fang Guolian, and Zhao Mingfeng heard this, they were very surprised, and they didn't know what Zhao Chen meant.
Zhao Chen continued at this time: "When I got these navigation charts, I was very excited, knowing that if I got one-thousandth of the treasures on the sunken ship, I would be able to rival the country, but the financial resources were limited back then, and I had no power to go to sea, so I hid this secret privately in order to abide by Liu Haishun's covenant. However, as a kind of hope that one day it can be realized, it has generated a strong motivation, which has always pushed me to run around, tirelessly do business, in order to accumulate the ability to go to sea to find treasures, and achieve a kind of industry that is no less than that of the emperor. ”
Xiaosheng was surprised at this time: "Brother Zhao Chen's ten thousand pieces of furniture turned out to be attracted by the shipwreck, it's really incredible!" But with Brother Zhao Chen's achievements today, it is like finding that treasure ship. Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Yes, if there is no shipwreck, there would be no today's achievements, so going to sea is the biggest wish of my life." Now that the family business has been decided, and with the ability to go to sea, no matter whether it is successful or not, but it can be willing. ”
Xiaosheng smiled when he heard this: "I understand, it turns out that you, a rich man, also have curious and adventurous sex books, although this time to go to sea, although it is to realize one of his unfulfilled wishes, it is better to follow Zheng He's sailing road back then, and do a leisure trip on the sea." Zhao Chen said with a smile: "This is the real purpose of my going to sea, although it is a bit absurd to say, it is really the greatest wish." Well, the torches are running out, let's take these chronicle scrolls back and study them carefully, and it is not impossible to find the shipwreck on the bottom of the sea. ”
Zhao Mingfeng said with relief at this time: "My father built a ship to go to sea, but it was for an impossible thing, and he put in such a big effort, fortunately, he didn't do everything possible to find the wreck, let me withstand the wind and waves at sea, and do an adventure." Then he hugged those sea history scrolls with Fang Guolian, and went to the same cave with Zhao Chen and Xiaosheng. When they arrived at the shore, the servants rowed a boat to meet them, and the four of them returned to the Qiren Palace.
After taking a seat, Zhao Chen said: "Now Zeng Shuping is the prime minister of the seaside shipyard for all matters to go to sea, the two big ships are about to be completed, everything is all the things to go to sea, the two big ships are also about to be completed, everything is ready, but wait for the auspicious day to sail." This trip to the sea is far away, a year and a half to turn around, for the wreck, I have no intention of begging, but on a trip, with an unfulfilled wish. ”
Xiaosheng said: "Brother Zhao Chen is very well prepared for this voyage, although it is not as strong as Zheng He's momentum back then, but the conditions are more perfect, recruiting many capable people, this voyage, if it is successful, you can create a Zhao family foundation again, from which you can get a wealth, unsuccessful, the right to return to the adventure of the treasure of the seaman." ”
Zhao Mingfeng said: "With so much effort, it is still a success, but the sea is vast, and it is really difficult to find the location of the shipwreck based on those navigation charts alone." ”
Zhao Chen said: "Although I went to sea this time for a long-cherished wish, it was not without evidence. Over the years, I have studied these charts and still think that it is possible to find the place where the shipwreck is. As for deep-water salvage, the Deng brothers in Guangdong were in charge, and the two brothers each learned the method of holding their breath and extracting objects from the bottom of the sea, and they had special experience. ”
Zhao Mingfeng said: "The shipwreck location marked on the navigation chart only refers to that sea area, we can find there, but the specific location is still difficult to determine, and we can't let the Deng brothers grope a little bit under the seabed to find it." ”
Zhao Chen said: "That's why I invited your uncle to come, he is good at 'walrus technique'." ”
Xiaosheng said with a smile: "Brother Zhao Chen's sex book to collect money is still aimed at the sunken ship, if the shipwreck is really full of rare treasures, there will be jewels that penetrate the water and shoot into the sky, as long as it is within the range marked by the navigation chart, I can see it at night, but it is not a difficult thing." ”
Zhao Mingfeng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is this my uncle's walrus technique?" ”
