Cruise ships in this era are simply outrageously slow, with the fastest speed of fifteen knots, and when they actually run, there are no more than ten knots. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zaifeng doesn't matter, he is eighteen years old this year, he has never been out of Beijing City, it was originally a fun time, plus Guangxu was the emperor before, he is Guangxu's younger brother, but Guangxu still has a Cixi on his head, their family seems to be glorious, but in fact they are trembling, Cixi abolished Guangxu's mind Everyone knows, if it weren't for the foreigners' constant opposition, I'm afraid Guangxu would have been abolished, Guangxu was abolished, and their family must have been implicated.

And now, Cixi is dead, Guangxu is also dead, Zaifeng feels more relaxed than ever, and he can travel abroad again, he can be regarded as full of interest.

Even on the boring journey, he could enjoy himself, and from time to time he held a ball with foreign captains and sailors, learned to dance with foreigners, and so on. On the contrary, the sailors and seamen of low background were more recognized, and felt that the younger brother of the Chinese emperor was very personable.

But for Yang Chao, it's a kind of torture, who has ever done this kind of transportation, going abroad in the past was like visiting a door, but it was a plane, but now he is taking this kind of broken boat. Yang Chao didn't have the interest of Zaifeng, and danced with the sweaty and fox-smelling sailors one by one.

So Yang Chao can only hide in the cabin by himself, fortunately, this time he is a visiting envoy, and the cruise ship is also rented by Li Hongzhang, so the treatment is okay, and Yang Chao can have a small room of his own.

This 1,000-ton double-decker cruise ship has more than 300 rooms, which is enough for everyone to live in a single room, and it is not a special treatment.

"Lao Jiu, what did you find again?"

Yang Chao said to the watch, in the background of the watch, the robot is lying on the wreck of a sunken ship.

Soon Lao Jiu pulled away a pile of rotten wood chips, and Yang Chao asked the robot to pull the picture in.

"Huhu, porcelain! Dating ”

"600 to 700 years ago!"

Yang Chao was suddenly a little excited: "Song porcelain! ”

Yang Chao was also a little surprised that this shipwreck, which had decayed to the point of not being in shape, turned out to be a Song Dynasty shipwreck.

However, there is nothing to be surprised about, the Strait of Malacca as early as the Tang Dynasty was the place of Chinese merchant ships, and the goods pulled by ancient merchant ships in this golden waterway are nothing more than porcelain, silk and other luxury goods, from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is no exaggeration to say that the Chinese porcelain at the bottom of the sea is connected together, and can circle the earth.

"It's pretty complete. Find a few ones that are in similar condition, yes, this one, and that! ”

Yang Chao commanded Lao Jiu to salvage the intact porcelain one by one.

This can be regarded as a way for Yang Chao to pass the time.

Since the beginning of Vietnam, Yang Chao was bored, just at that time, the spacecraft that had been following Yang Chao in the water detected a shipwreck, Yang Chao raised his interest in treasure hunting in the water, and drove all the way to Malacca, and found no less than 100 shipwrecks, but there are not many that are worth salvaging, most of the porcelain is broken, silk and other things have long been rotted, most of these ships only have scientific research value, and there is no salvage value, so the vast majority of Yang Chao has not moved, leave it to future generations to study.

This ship is a big harvest, hundreds of well-preserved Song porcelain, and there are more buried in the depths, Yang Chao intends to leave some for future generations, after all, this thing is too much to be worthless, not to mention that the price of porcelain in this era is not so exaggerated, porcelain is really fried, then after the Chinese get rich, it depends on the Chinese to play porcelain.

"Is there any news in the country?"

Although wireless telegraphy was still in the development stage at this time, it was not widely used, and telegraph communication was mainly based on telegraph lines.

There are cables laid by the British on the bottom of the South China Sea, and the British probably would never have thought that the news they sent would be robbed by Yang Chao without pulling it. Listening to information directly from the cable telegraph may sound incredible, but for a technological monster like Starship, it's a breeze. You don't have to cut the cable, you can intercept the information by passing an electric current through that induced magnetic field.

"Zheng Shiliang's rebel army was disbanded, and he himself led his entourage to flee Hong Kong."

"Zheng Shiliang also failed."

Zheng Shiliang, with the support of Sun Artillery, raised troops in Sanzhoutian, Guangdong Province in August, and defeated the Qing army many times, and captured seven or eight hundred guns of the Qing army in more than two months, and the momentum was still very good.

"It's still the people who are smart! Tang Changcai's group of people are too stupid, they are royalists in the end, pedantic! ”

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh that Sun Dacang led this group of people with good brains, he himself never came forward, and always instigated his subordinates to return to China for revolution, and he was served by the Japanese in Japan, with money and women. His subordinates are not stupid, every time they fool a group of people to die, they will slip away first when they see that the momentum is wrong, leaving the group of fooled guys to be strangled by the Qing court.

"Ying Tian will be peaceful for a while."

Yang Chao sighed, this year is really eventful.

Before Zheng Shiliang, Tang Changcai's wave of royalists also launched an uprising, they were even more powerful, Sun Dacang and Liang Qichao both supported Tang Changcai, but unfortunately the plan was too incomplete, and it was planned to start in early August, but they did not wait for Kang Youwei's funds, and they planned to start an incident at the same time from Hankou to Shanghai along the river.

But this is Zhang Zhidong's territory, dare to make trouble in Zhang Zhidong's territory, he has long been targeted by Zhang Zhidong, and they didn't wait for Kang Youwei's funds, they were arrested one by one, and before they could put a shot, one by one, they were hung on the head of Wuchang City by Zhang Nanpi.

Tang Changcai was righteous and awe-inspiring before leaving: "The seven-foot micro body rewards the old friend, and the blood splashes the barren hills!" ”

Yang Chao still admires people like Tang Changcai, it is obvious that this person is the same kind of character as Tan Si, and he went to kill himself. Although they knew that he would not be able to go to the road, and it was not the path that Yang Chao agreed with, they dared to put their ideals into practice, and they were already much better than the vast majority of the people in China who were not benevolent, and they were much better than the scholars who were wise enough to protect their lives.

Ironically, Tang Changcai also studied at the Lianghu Academy run by Zhang Zhidong, and he can be regarded as Zhang Zhidong's protégé, but in the end he was wiped out by the master himself.

The treasure hunt soon arrived in India, where the cruise ship stopped for a while, and there were local princes who boarded the ship to visit Zaifeng, and I don't know if it was arranged by the British.

"Diamonds!"

The lord of the land also gave Zaifeng a diamond, a diamond pendant that was not too big.

Before the discovery of diamonds in South Africa, India was the world's largest diamond producer, and the history of Indians mining and processing diamonds is very long, and it can even be said that diamonds were introduced by Westerners from India, including the carat, the unit of measurement of diamonds, which were determined by the Indians, and one carat was originally the weight of a local bean in India after it dried up.

Zaifeng was very happy with the gift of the princely state, and even picked it up and showed it to his entourage.

Yang Chao pointed at the diamond with his watch, and inadvertently swept it, no one knew the structure of the diamond, which had been scanned by Yang Chao.

Quietly slipped back to his room, Yang Chao immediately shouted: "Lao Jiu, can you make it?" ”

After that, the ship crossed the Indian Ocean, entered the Suez Canal, entered the Mediterranean Sea, and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar.

On the coast of Spain, the wind and waves are calm, and Zaifeng is very interested in holding a wine tasting on the deck.

Suddenly, Yang Chao, who was watching the scenery on the side of the ship, suddenly fell into the North Atlantic Ocean in full view of everyone.

The whole cruise ship panicked at once, the captain was calm, immediately ordered to put down the boat, and let the sailors jump into the sea to rescue, but found nothing, has been searching and rescuing for half a day, seeing hopeless, after asking Zaifeng, the boat continued to move forward.
