Later, after the death of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty who fled south have been trying to find it, as well as many people in the rivers and lakes, including some of the descendants of Wang Zhi's subordinates, it is said that Wang Zhi in order to protect those treasures, the treasure map was scattered to several of his most trusted subordinates, and the most critical one was hidden by himself in an unknown place.

Knowing Wang Zhi's treasure is not only the imperial court, but also the Japan where he called for wind and rain, when the king arrived in Japan, not only brought advanced navigation technology and gunpowder technology, but also let them see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, just imagine that a pirate leader in the Ming Dynasty had such a large-scale fleet, so how powerful was this country? There are not only Chinese but also Japanese who want to follow Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi also takes advantage of this, and often loses a few Japanese ronin on the first ship in his team. He is not only engaged in smuggling, robbery is also a way to get rich, so that every time he starts to rob, a few Japanese will rush out and roar, and the victims will say that they are just bad Wo Kou, in fact, the real bosses behind the scenes are Chinese, the Japanese Wo Kou at that time were just a little Luo Luo under Wang Zhi, and there was no force in the entire Eastern Pacific region that dared to grab business in front of him.

One of these Japanese ronins was Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was not yet thirteen years old when he met Wang Nao, who was the Edo shogun who would later influence Japanese history, and his father was Matsudaira Hirotada, the lord of Okazaki Castle, who was renamed Tokugawa in ten years. The young Tokugawa Ieyasu admired him immensely, and the man who later established the shogunate regime in Japan had been active on the sea with Wang Nao, and was trusted by him. When Wang Zhi left Japan to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Ieyasu, as one of the very few people who knew about the treasure, passed down this secret from generation to generation, and in his hands he launched several wars against the Ming Dynasty's vassal state Korea and was defeated, and since then it has been repaired until the Sino-Japanese War.

Tokugawa Ichiro is one of the descendants of the Tokugawa family, and his main task is to find the secret of the treasure of the king, such a large fortune is too important for Japan, which was at war at the time and was short of materials, so they did not hesitate to form a team with Tokugawa Ichiro as the core. The Nationalist Government that learned the news naturally could not let the Japanese get their hands on it, and they could not be careless about this historical treasure that may or may not exist, and how to say that this is the legacy left by the ancestors of the Chinese themselves, and they must not be allowed to get their hands on it.

So the people on both sides used various news to target the South China Sea, but in the end these two groups of people were not able to go back to their lives, no one knows what happened back then, in that era of war, maybe they both died under the fire of each other, or because of an accident that led to disappearance, so the matter without the following is slowly stranded. It wasn't until the outbreak of the Liberation War that my grandfather found those royal archives in the archives of the Forbidden City, which confirmed that this astronomical treasure was indeed still in the world, and the Chiang Kai-shek government at that time was already Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Eve, and they began to re-start the idea of this treasure when they urgently needed to raise military salaries.

Later, my grandfather went to Taiwan with me to continue to hide, while my father and my grandmother stayed on the mainland. Before leaving, my grandfather told my father the news and asked him to pass on the news, and after so many years, my father was completely defeated because my grandfather went to Taiwan, and the contact person who knew my grandfather's identity back then had long since disappeared, and this identity naturally could not be whitewashed. ”

"So that's the case," Lao Pi nodded and said: "In this way, you are also a descendant of the revolutionary predecessors, Miao Honggenzheng, and a few of us are almost in the same disease, so you are here to find that Wang Zhi treasure?" ”

Zheng Jiuwu didn't answer positively, I'm afraid this person has never said so much in his life, and today can be regarded as making him a little embarrassed.

He continued: "When the last emperor Pu Yi went to Changchun to establish the puppet state of Manchukuo, he also brought a batch of imperial secret histories, which recorded a large number of royal secrets of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so Tokugawa Ichiro could check some clues of Wang Zhi back then. And in the puppet Manchukuo, there are also *** lurking people, some important information was also passed out, those two groups of people came here at that time, this island is said to have been built by the Franc machine people at the earliest, so we can also see a lot of Western-style buildings on the island. At that time, Wang Zhi and the Francophone maintained trade, at that time the Franco was to Xuanwu Island as a transit point between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, according to historical records, one of Wang Zhi's subordinates had escaped from the pursuit of the Ming Dynasty military with the help of the fleet of the Francophone, this person was called Mao Ruxian, Wang Zhi's military advisor, and held a large number of secrets in his hands.

In order to find the secret of this batch of treasures, the Ming Dynasty sent a fleet to have a big battle with them near Xuanwu Island, both sides suffered heavy losses, and historical archives recorded that the Ming Dynasty sent a total of more than 80 warships but none of them could return. The few remaining Franc men were afraid that the Ming would continue to send fleets, and fled west to Europe with a ship and brought Mao Ruxian back with him, according to which he later told in Europe that he did not take Wang Zhi's treasure with him, but hid an extremely important thing on this island. Later, until the outbreak of World War I, the Portuguese never forgot the existence of this treasure, according to the legend of their predecessors, they sent people to look for it several times, but unfortunately there are too many inconspicuous islands like Xuanwu Island in Southeast Asia, and they have not been discovered. Later, they speculated that this might be just a legend, and they slowly gave up, until the discovery of the Ming history archives proved that the treasures did exist in this world. ”

Wang Ling asked: "Then there is the secret of Mao Ruxian buried under this iron-hulled ship?" ”

Zheng Jiuwu nodded and said: "It was in the late stage of World War II, when the U.S. military began to attack the Pacific islands, a U.S. reconnaissance team discovered Xuanwu Island and found that there were still remnants of Japanese troops on the island. These Japanese soldiers were wearing the clothes of the national army, at first the American army thought it was a small island occupied by the national army, and after finding out that the other party was the Japanese army, they were killed without saying anything, they gave this information to the national government at that time, and my grandfather judged that this was very likely to be the place where the treasure hunting team disappeared. The Japanese and the Nationalist detachment must have arrived at the same time and there was a battle, the ship lost its ability to sail, and the rest of the men were not discovered on the island until the arrival of the American army in the later period. ”

"How do you know?" Lao Pi asked, "I'm curious, these messages should be confidential." ”

"Some of the news was told to my father by my grandfather before he left, and then my father told me," Zheng Jiuwu pointed to his head and said: "The sporadic information can be sorted out by inference, plus the testimony of physical objects, I have examined those corpses before you, their bones have multiple bullet marks, and they died from gunshot wounds." ”

Lao Pi climbed into the cockpit again, and after a while, he came out and said to Wang Ling: "Fourth brother, this guy is right, it is indeed a gunshot wound, it seems that you don't need to do any burial rituals, these dead souls are not our ancestors." ”

"Are you sure there's a ship down here?" Wang Ling said: "Could it be that Ling Zun also told you this?" ”

Zheng Jiuwu shook his head and said: "No, I found out before you found it, historical records record that Mao Ruxian is proficient in astronomy and geography, and is familiar with yin and yang metaphysics, and is one of Liu Bowen's third-generation disciples. In order to be able to find Xuanwu Island in the future, he domesticated a kind of bats from Southeast Asia and raised them on the island, and those giant bats were the markers he would find later. ”

"No wonder," Lao Pi nodded: "Then did you know it from the beginning when you came, in private, I am afraid that you have already figured out this island behind our backs, I said that you pretended to be a plague god all day long, it turned out that you were pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but it was indeed me who was gone." ”

"I didn't expect that a pair of Haidongqing came here later to occupy the entrance of the cave, and those bats couldn't fly out, which also made those later people look for them according to the legend of the bats and couldn't find a reason," Zheng Jiuwu said: "This is also that people are not as good as heaven." ”

"That's right," Wang Ling nodded: "No wonder Lao Xing has always made this a forbidden place, I think he also knows something, since you found this treasure, a few of us should be helping, as long as you are willing to cooperate to help us prove our innocence." ”

Now that things are clear, the next thing is to work, at this time the sea water also began to slowly retreat, a drop of water content in the sand will be a little easier, a few people waved a shovel along the iron-hulled boat down to a depth of more than two meters when it was really cleared out of a plank, the old leather lightly knocked out a "knock" sound, he said: "It's empty, it seems that there is a play." After that, he was about to pry it open with a shovel, but was stopped by Wang Ling and said:

"Wait, Lao Pi heard the percussion here before my 'evil spirit' just now, just like the sound you just had." He turned his head to look at Zheng Jiuwu again and said, "Tell me the truth, did you knock it?" ”

"No," Zheng Jiuwu shook his head and said, "This is what I think is strange, I didn't hear the kind of voice you said when I was here, and when I realized that something was wrong, I already found out that something was wrong with you." ”
