180.The Legend of the Sea Yaksha (I)
When Guan Shanhe came to me, he gave me a thumbs up, which probably meant that there was something underneath, but in this case, we had to take the risk of swimming out of the air supply of the rubber tube to the trench first, which was a very big challenge for me and for the Bo brothers.
I saw Guan Shanhe blow a breath of bubbles, and began to urge me, my heart is horizontal, my heart is not into the tiger's den to get the tiger, it's okay to fight, but the Bo brothers obviously want to go with us, I am worried, after all, one of the Bo brothers is eighteen years old, and the other is only sixteen years old, they are still children, if there is a good thing to go in, how can I explain to their parents?
Just as I was thinking about this problem, the Bo brothers glanced at each other, a fierce man, swam towards the trench fiercely, Guan Shanhe patted me on the shoulder, fixed the rubber tube on the seabed, and then gestured to me to hurry up.
After only swimming for dozens of seconds, I felt that the lifting of my chest was no longer enough, I had to speed up, and soon I saw that in the trench, since there was a ship, this is a huge iron ship, I have seen such a ship, it is in the museum, Zheng He's seven-treasure boat style of the westward journey, the actual volume is as huge as the current warship, at this time Guan Shanhe took the lead, we soon came to the bottom of the boat, there was a hole in the bottom of the boat, I saw that there was a little bubble coming out of it, could it be that there was air in the heart?
We entered the hole in the bottom of the boat, and suddenly a turbid air poured into my lungs, making me choke, and Bo Ge and Bo Di looked at me with a smile: "Brother Ma, you can't do it." ”
"you." I stood up, shone my flashlight around, and saw an extraordinary sight, for in front of me there was a very spacious cabin, and there were many large boxes in it.
Suddenly Bogo's eyes lit up, and he immediately passed, and he kicked open the lock of the box, which was almost rotten, and then opened the box with hope, but then his smile froze, and he looked at me with a gloomy face.
I hurriedly went over, but found that inside this box, there was a miserable white skeleton, and after the skeleton saw the air, it quickly turned into dust and drifted away.
Guan Shanhe said: "This fucking ship is not a lot of sea burial ships, this is a pirate ship!" These are slaves on a pirate ship! ”
He picked up one of the chains on the skeleton and said, "These are the things that bind the slaves, and they look like they were chains from hundreds of years ago, because they are still holes." ”
I said, "What do you say?" ”
"I used to find a silent pirate ship underwater in Malaysia, but the gold, silver and jewelry on it were looted, and the divers should have taken it, but at that time we encountered a very terrible thing." Guan Shanhe said.
As soon as I heard this, I felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Go on." ”
"There is a strange kind of people in the pirate ship, covered in scales, you know, in the legend of the sea, there are mermaids living in the sea, but it is not a beautiful thing, but the upper and lower bodies are in the shape of a man, but they are covered with fish scales, and their faces are hideous, and they are very fierce, and we met a mermaid or mermaid, and it killed one of my brothers." Guan Shanhe said, "Later, we shot him to death, but the body was not taken away, and it was discarded in the ocean, which has many more secrets than on land." ”
I agree with what he said, after all, human beings are land animals, and the exploration of the ocean has just begun, otherwise there would not be so many shipwrecks.
Guan Shanhe turned the box upside down, and on the ground of the box, there was no metal brand, it looked like it was still a badge, with an octopus painted on it, but the head of the octopus turned into a skull.
"When China was still a Ming and Qing dynasty, Southeast Asia had already entered the Age of Discovery, and pirates were rampant, and the largest pirate captain had more than 900 ships under his command, and each ship had such a scale." Guan Shanhe looked at the brand and said, "I remember hearing the leader of our mercenary group say that the leader of this pirate group was a woman with an amazing treasure on her body. ”
Guan Shanhe told us a magnificent story, and the protagonist of the story turned out to be a very famous female pirate.
During the golden age of piracy, the most famous female Chinese pirate was Zheng Shi. Zheng Shi was born in a brothel, formerly known as Shi Xiugu. When she was a girl, she was kidnapped by the pirate Zheng Qi, and after Zheng Qi's death, she became the most powerful female pirate captain at the time. At its peak, Zheng Shi was in control of a pirate fleet of hundreds of ships.
It is said that during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there were six bands of pirates in the Pearl River estuary for a long time, and they established an alliance with each other, and the alliance made them so powerful that even the ships of the government's escort officials paid them protection money. The most famous of these six pirates is the "Red Flag Gang" led by Zheng Shi and Zhang Baozai, who own 600 to 1,000 pirate ships, numbering between 2 and 40,000. At that time, Huang Biao, the chief soldier, resigned because of the ineffective suppression of bandits, and from the ninth year of Jiaqing to the tenth year of Jiaqing, the post of admiral of the Guangdong Navy Division changed people three times, all because of the ineffective suppression of bandits.
After the death of the pirate leader Zheng Qi, his wife Zheng Shi and adopted son Zhang Bao took over hundreds of pirate ships and tens of thousands of pirates under Zheng Qi. Zheng Shi was relatively young, and he maintained a de facto lover relationship with his nominal adopted son, Zhang Baozai, and the two were "master and servant, secretly husband and wife", and they were based on many small islands in Hong Kong, and had excellent equipment provided by the Vietnamese "Tay Son regime". In the local armed forces, which are far superior to those of the government armed forces and the gentry organizations.
At that time, this pirate army was so powerful that even the government's official ships transporting salt had to buy "pirate ship free robbery tickets"; Later, the government changed the transportation of salt from sea to land, and pirate groups began to burn and loot inland villages on a large scale, including Shunde; Zheng Shi and Zhang Baozai also robbed Western merchant ships from various countries, and Western merchant ships also hated them.
Later, Zheng Shishi and Zhang Bao led more than 270 ships equipped with 1,200 artillery pieces and 16,000 troops to surrender to the imperial court, and were awarded the title of Qianzong by the Qing government, and were also the first female officers in the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Shi finally made the choice to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and even at the time there was a great deal of resistance.
Just as he was about to surrender, there was a large opposition to surrender within the pirates, and there were not a few who scolded him for betraying and rebelling. After Zheng Shi's surrender, her pirate followers in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia numbered tens of thousands, and they always refused to surrender to the imperial court, and people gave her a nickname called Haiyasha because they were in awe of Zheng Shi's strength.
At that time, the most prosperous morale of the Qing Dynasty was the hegemon of the whole of Asia, whether it was Japan or Southeast Asia, all countries in the sea of Japan bowed down to it, so it was reasonable for Zheng Shi to return to the Qing Dynasty, but then the Ayasha suddenly disappeared, some people said that the Khayasha was with her good friends and returned to the sea, and some people said that the Khayasha took Zhang Bao and went to a place where no one knew about them, to be an ordinary person, and the treasure over the years was hidden in a corner of the Pacific Ocean, the amount of treasure, It is equivalent to the treasure of a whole country of a large feudal dynasty, and at that time, Thailand, Malaysia and other countries sent people to search, but no results were found!
Hearing this, my blood boiled, and I said, "Guan Shanhe, do you mean that this ship is one of the hundreds of ships under the Yaksha seat back then?" ”
"Yes, maybe we can find some clues on the ship, and we may even encounter the legendary Great Secret Treasure at that time, you know, in front of the Sea Yaksha Zheng Shishi, what Blackbeard, Pirate Wang Zi, Captain Kidd, that's all bullshit! Those European ships are fighting for supremacy near the Mediterranean, and the Yaksha has already ruled the entire Pacific and Indian Oceans with thunderous means! ”
My heart felt like it had been hit by a hammer, and my heart beat faster, and I couldn't imagine what kind of woman the Khakshatra was, but it was certain that we would definitely find what we needed on this ship......
At this time, Guan Shanhe said mysteriously: "Young man, I'm not interested in anything else, but if this legend is true, when the time comes to get the Great Secret Treasure, I only need one thing!" ”
"Oh?" I looked at Guan Shanhe in amazement.
Guan Shanhe said word by word: "I only need the ghost hand in the hands of Haiyasha back then!" ”
