After taking his seat, Zhao Chen sighed: "I didn't expect Fang Gongshu to achieve many extraordinary things in chess. ”

Xiaosheng said: "Chess is the avenue, and the ancients said: chess can communicate with the gods." Those who have attained this path are on the chessboard for two-tenths and outside the chessboard for eight-tenths. And the masters in the world can't even reach half of the two-tenths on the chessboard, so they should be limited by their talents and confined to the technique. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was secretly surprised: "What this person said seems to be the same as what I feel, it seems that this Xiaosheng is not an ordinary person." ”

Xiaosheng continued: "Fang Gongshu's chess path, the kind of murderous chess that can restrain the national hand eunuch in chess, it can be seen that it has reached the realm of perfection inside and outside the chessboard, this kind of cultivation is difficult to produce a person for hundreds of years, it seems that Fang Gongshu is my immortal product." Zhao Chen and Zhao Mingfeng's father were surprised when they heard it.

Fang Guochuan said: "The chess path is deep and broad, people can't go to the extreme, and it's the same in playing." Xiaosheng said: "Fang Gongshu should not be humble, although the chess path of Gongshu cannot reach heaven and earth, but it can help the world, and it should be impossible for ancient and modern chess players." Zhao's father nodded yes.

Zhao Chen said happily at this time: "Fang Gongshu came just in time, in a month, there will be two big ships to sail to the sea, can the official secretary be interested in accompanying him?" Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "I can't ask for a trip to sea on my uncle's ship." Zhao Chen said with a smile: "It seems that Ming Feng has told you, this is very good, there is a need for strange people like Gongshu on the sea ship." ”

Xiaosheng also said happily: "It is really an honor for us to go to sea this time to have Fang Gongshu with us. By the way, Brother Zhao Chen, the real purpose of this trip to sea, you have been keeping it secret from everyone, so as to whet everyone's appetite, saying that it is going to be announced to a certain and Mingfeng today, it should also be said. ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "It just so happens that Fang Gongshu is also here, let's go to Yanhu Lake Island to see what is going on." Fang Guochuan hurriedly said: "This is a big secret, I still avoided it." Zhao Chen said: "Fang Gongshu is Mingfeng's best friend, and he has the grace to fulfill their couple, when he is not an outsider, besides, this secret is related to the purpose of this voyage, I also want to announce it to a few friends who know each other, solicit everyone's opinions, and study some countermeasures." ”

Zhao Mingfeng said happily on the side: "Don't push it away, this secret has been hidden by my father for decades, and today I have the opportunity to see the truth, and it is also your fate, everyone went to see it together, and they are not outsiders." Zhao Chen said: "Zhao is not a person who plays tricks, because this secret is very special and needs everyone's opinion." Seeing that Zhao Chen was also sincere, Fang Guohuan had no choice but to say: "It's better to be respectful than to obey my fate, thank you uncle for giving me this opportunity." ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "This secret has made me miss it for decades, and today I am fortunate to realize it with you, which is exactly what I want in my life." When Fang Guohuan heard this, he said in his heart: "Isn't it to find something when you build a ship and go to sea?" But it's strange, Zhao's foundation is in the south of the Yangtze River, sailing overseas, I don't know what the intention is? ”

When Zhao Chen, Zhao Mingfeng, Xiaosheng, and Fang Guolian came to the edge of Yanhu Lake, there was already a servant waiting for a small boat. The four of them got on the boat, and the boat moved slowly towards the island in the middle of the lake. In a short time, we have arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. After going ashore, Zhao Chen said to the servant: "You go back to the other side first, and come back in two hours to pick it up." The servant answered, and rowed away.

Although this island in the middle of the lake is not very big, it is also tall and dense, overgrown with weeds, it looks desolate, and there is no path to be found, so it can be seen that no one has ever come except Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen led Xiaosheng, Fang Guolian, and Zhao Mingfeng along the shore to the back of the island, and then saw a bluestone path hidden in the grass leading to the depths of the forest, so Zhao Chen led the three of them to walk inside.

Xiaosheng sighed at this time: "I didn't expect that there is such a desert island in Baguio Villa, such a quiet place, but it is not a beautiful scenery." Zhao Chen said: "If there is a sudden disaster of war, as long as the ships in the village are destroyed and avoided on the island, they can be safe for a while." Xiaosheng said: "As soon as the battle starts, the bandits are running around, how can you let go of every grass and tree in your rich family, unless you hide on the island." Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Brother Xiaosheng is worthy of being an old seaman, and he even has to take refuge at sea." ”

The four of them walked in the forest for a while, and then saw a stone house appear in front of them. When I entered the stone house, I saw that the furniture and beds were all available, but they were covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had lived in them. Zhao Mingfeng looked around, but didn't see anything special, so he said, "Father, the child doesn't know what secrets are in this stone house. ”

Zhao Chen said: "It's just a temporary rest here. With that, he took a key from a hidden place in the stone house, and then led the three out of the stone house. After passing through a waist-deep field of weeds, I came to a hole with a stone door. Zhao Chen opened the stone door, and saw that the cave looked black, and there were more than ten pine trees stacked on one side of the cave, and several of them had already passed one end, which was obviously used for making torches in the cave. Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guolian each held one and used flint. Zhao Chen also held one and entered first, and Fang Guolian, Zhao Mingfeng, and Xiaosheng followed in.

The cave is not too narrow, the wider it goes, and the more it goes, the lower it goes, and the hole is lower than the lake surface of Yan Lake. Xiaosheng exclaimed at this time: "It is a good place! There is such a big cave in the manor, if there is a war, the entrance of the cave, as long as there is enough food, people are very safe here. ”

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "At the beginning of the construction of Baguio Villa, it was also intentionally built here. Xiaosheng shook his head and said: "It's better that there is no war, otherwise if there is a big manor, the heaven on earth will be destroyed in the war." At this time, the cave became more wide, and the words were echoed, and the smoke of the torches drifted in one direction, as if there was a wind circulating. On one side of the cave there was another stone chamber, and in the light of the fire, a box of books was hidden inside.

Zhao Mingfeng was overjoyed and said: "This is here, I don't know what treasure is inside?" What kind of secret? Zhao Chen fixed the torch to the side at this time, came to the wooden box, and said solemnly: "For decades, this secret I have kept is in this box, just open it and take a look." ”

Zhao Mingfeng lifted the lid of the box, and what appeared in front of everyone was a half-wooden box of books and paper scrolls. When Fang Guohuan saw it, he was very surprised, I don't know why Zhao Chen hid these scrolls in this cave alone for decades? Zhao Mingfeng was a little disappointed and said: "What kind of strange treasure is my Dao, it turned out to be a box of waste paper for books." ”

Xiaosheng didn't speak, flipped through it casually, and said with a surprised face: "Brother Zhao Chen, these are some logbooks?" Zhao Chen said: "Yes, you can take a look at these picture scrolls again." When Xiaosheng unfolded a scroll to read, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Nautical chart!" Where did Brother Zhao Chen get these things? ”

Zhao Chen said: "Since the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a person who has gone to the West seven times and created a maritime miracle in the world today. ”

Zhao Mingfeng said on the side: "Who doesn't know this, this person is Zheng He Zheng Sanbao when Emperor Chengzu was the emperor." Xiaosheng said: "Yes, Zheng He went to the West seven times, showing the power of the Ming Dynasty to all countries, making the people surrender, greatly strengthening the connection between our country and the world, and now the people in the capital are used to calling Zheng He the father of the Three Treasures, and there is an alley book called the Three Treasures Hutong, which shows the great influence and achievements of Zheng He in the West." ”

Zhao Chen said: "Zheng He created this great navigation, no ancient, I know a little from these navigation chronicles, that Zheng and Zheng Sanbao is a Yunnan Hui people, Chengzu was a court eunuch, when the world was open, merchants and envoys from various countries came and went, Emperor Chengzu in order to strengthen relations with overseas countries, show the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, explore the world, ordered Zheng He to lead more than 27,800 officers and soldiers, translators, procurement, sailors, craftsmen, doctors, etc., with a large number of gold and silver, silk, porcelain, iron and cloth, etc., Take 12 big ships, set off from Liujiagang and start a journey to the West, the scene is spectacular and magnificent. The largest sea ship could accommodate a thousand people, and was called the 'treasure ship', with a length of 44 zhang and a width of 18 zhang, with 12 huge sails, and required 2 or 300 sailors to drive it. The huge fleet sailed high, passing through the East China Sea and the South China Sea, first arriving at Champa, and then going to Borneo and entering the Western Ocean, passing through several countries, knowing the vastness of the world and many countries overseas. In the past 30 years, the fleet led by Zheng He has sailed seven times, visited new lands that were previously unknown, and experienced a thousand kinds of scenery in foreign countries. As soon as he spoke, Zhao Mingfeng and Fang Guolian were stunned.

Xiaosheng suddenly said at this time: "Brother Zhao Chen's shipbuilding and going to sea this time turned out to be related to Zheng He's trip to the West, but I don't know what the big secret is?" ”

Zhao Chen took out a scroll of drawings from the box at this time, and unfolded it casually: "This is a nautical chart when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, and the islands, land, and countries that he passed through on the route were all marked one by one, which was very detailed. ”

Xiaosheng was surprised at this time: "These things are really precious, they were originally collected in the palace, how could they fall into the hands of Brother Zhao Chen?" Zhao Chen said: "The palace has collected all the navigation materials of Zheng He, but there is a secret that has not been recorded, so no one knows it. As for how I got these books and charts, I will elaborate on them later, brother, please look at this. ”

Zhao Chen then pointed to a red mark in the Western Ocean on the nautical chart and said, "The secret I said is here." When Zhao Mingfeng, Fang Guolian, and Xiaosheng stepped forward to take a closer look, they couldn't help but say in unison: "The treasure ship sinks here!" ”

Xiaosheng was shocked and said: "Could it be that when Zheng He went to the West, a treasure ship sank at sea?" Zhao Chen said: "Yes, this is the secret. ”
