Chapter 939: The Evidence of the Four Seas

Akon immediately asked the book demon: "What period was China originally, and what period is it now?" ”

The book demon opened the hardcover parchment book and calmly reported: "It turns out that 1568 A.D. is the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty. Now dislocation after 1558 A.D., it is the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing. ”

"What are the important historical events of the two periods?" Akon looked solemn and continued to ask.

"In 1567 AD, the first year of Longqing, Emperor Longqing of the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban, known as the 'Longqing switch' in history. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing's dislocation, it was the period when pirates were rampant on the southeast coast of China...... "The book demon briefly reported the most important and time-related events related to the scene task.

Zhang Fan nodded, "It seems that the scene doesn't want us to be too easy." 'Longqing Switch', the Ming Sea Ban is limited and open, but it is very beneficial for the Ming Empire to start selling Chinese goods and absorbing silver from the Americas, which is very beneficial for us to do two-way exchanges with China. Now that there are rampant pirates there, I'm afraid the scene is going to let us go to Pingwan......"

Akon shook his head, "This may be a dark line mission set up by a scene......"

The book demon took a sip of tea, opened the hardcover parchment, glanced at it, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, what I care more about is who this inverse scale fragment will be. ”

Zhang Fan Akon was attracted by the words of the book demon, and asked back to his senses: "In whose hands?" ”

"I am sure that there is a Chinese pirate king who should have obtained this piece of reverse scale, and that is Chen Zuyi, the pirate king of Malacca during the Hongwu period of China!" The book demon said lightly.

"This person has been entrenched in the Strait of Malacca for more than 10 years, and the group members exceeded 10,000 at its peak. There were 100 warships. Dominating the seas of Japan, Taiwan, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Plundered 10,000 passing ships and attacked more than 50 coastal towns. Of course, this pirate king had bad luck and met Zheng He who went to the West. I'm also confused and want to rob the greatest fleet in the history of Shijie sailing! As a result, he was routed by Zheng He's fleet, and Chen Zuyi was also captured alive. Zuihou was beheaded by the Ming Emperor for public display. It's not a good death. ”

The book demon flipped the pages of the book and continued: "I think Chen Zuyi's piece of the reverse scale fragment must have been obtained by Zheng He. This eunuch of the Three Treasures believed in Buddhism, and perhaps it was his faith that dissipated the anger of the Scales Fragment, so he was not affected by the anger of the 'Ying Dragon', but instead achieved his unparalleled seafaring feats. ”

"But these two are a little further away from this era, and even if they used to have them, they have changed hands. I believe that the current fragment of the reverse scale of 'Ying Long' should be in this person's hands......" The book demon pointed to a Chinese pirate standing on the bow of the ship that appeared on the hardcover parchment......

"'King of the Pure Sea' Wang Zhi." Akon read.

"Yes, this person is a native of She County, Huizhou Prefecture, Zhili in the south of the Ming Dynasty, also known as Wufeng, the owner of the Wufeng ship, a maritime trade merchant in the Ming Dynasty, and has a great historical reputation as a related figure in the incident of the introduction of muskets into Japan. He was a well-known captain of the Chinese plundering ship in this era. Because of the Ming Dynasty government's ban on the sea, his financial route was blocked. colluded with the Dongying Japanese to harass the Chinese border. In fact, this person helped the imperial court clear the pirates at the beginning, and actually defeated many pirates, and thousands of miles of sea and territory were under his control. ”

Wang Zhijinghai had meritorious service, and repeatedly asked the imperial court to open up maritime trade, but was refused, and was besieged by the government's sailors. He broke through and fled to Japan, reinvigorated, Jiajing 31 years, that is, in 1552 AD, led a huge armed fleet to invade the southeast coast, siege the city and plundered the land, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were shaken, and the official army was invincible. ”

Wang Zhi occupied Dinghai and called himself the "King of the Pure Sea", and later called the "King of Hui". Other pirates or pirates would not have survived if they had not become the subordinates of the 'Pure Sea King' under his banner! In the 35th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1556 AD, Wang Zhi sent a message to the Ming government at that time, expressing his willingness to obey the order and help exterminate the displaced people in Songjiang, and hoped to exchange this for the Ming government's promise to open up coastal trade. But in 1558, on February 5, the 37th year of Jiajing, he was ensnared by Wang Bengu, the governor of Hangzhou......"

"Due to the tense coastal situation at that time, Hu Zongxian, the inspector of Zhejiang, did not dare to kill Wang Zhi rashly, and put him under house arrest in Hangzhou for more than two years......

Akon was overjoyed when he heard this, "The arrest in 1558 A.D. seems to have been confirmed in this guy, and the scene not only increases the difficulty for us, but also points out a direction, which can be regarded as a kind of balance." This Wang Zhi should be alive now, then let's go to China to find him! No wonder this trial scene has been arranged for twenty years, and it turned out that we were going to travel around Shijie! ”

"Twenty years? I'm afraid it's too late. The book demon pushed his glasses, "Wang Zhi will be executed at the end of 1559 the following year." If we want to meet him, I'm afraid we'll have to hurry! Otherwise, the scale fragment will change hands again......"

Akon stood up suddenly, "There is still more than a year to go!" We should be in time. I just don't know if the Pacific Ocean is stable in this era. Although nothing hostile to Shili's fleet. I'm afraid that the scene will make some sea monsters and the like come out to test us. ”

"We don't have to go all, Akon and Greenwing stay, this side is just starting out, and we need manpower. Zhang Fan and I went with Xuanyuan Xing and Dark Sakura. This time, he may have to enter the prison to meet with the 'King of the Pure Sea' Wang Zhi, and he will rely on his ability to conceal the technique. Although the scene indicates that this person has a clue that 'Ying Long' has reverse scales, it will also be a difficult task. The book demon arranged, "This way there are few people, and you can use flying props to fly over the Pacific Ocean." This saves a lot of time. ”

"My 'Bai Ze' can also fly ......" Green Wing was not worried about Zhang Fan.

"You have to train pirates, Akon has to help make ships and guns, and you can't leave. Well, Sakura stayed behind to protect Miss Caterina closely, mainly because she didn't lose the scale fragment. "Zhang Fan's words made the Green Wing Dark Sakura feel a lot more comfortable." Completing Katerina's revenge against the Spanish Caribbean Fleet is a long-term construction mission that depends on the two of you. ”

Akon thought for a while and said to Zhang Fan: "You take the 'Holy Fox' away, I think this ship should have a chance to be upgraded in China." Willis also carries it, it is amphibious, more convenient. Dornier left it to us, and it would only let Dark Sakura ride it anyway. He knew that Zhang Fan would not be willing to take both powerful summons with him, so he took the initiative to leave Dornier.

Then he said to Xuanyuan Xing: "This time Zhang Fan's safety depends on you, I don't worry about the book demon, don't let Zhang Fan be stupid." ”

Xuanyuan nodded silently and took the 'Sword Forehead Spear' handed to him by Green Wing......

…………

The next day, Zhang Fan Shudemon and Xuanyuan Xing said goodbye to everyone, and everyone couldn't help but feel melancholy. This time the separation is really tens of thousands of miles apart, far away from the ocean. Although everyone is not a child, they still give birth to a reluctant heart. At the time of the breakup, there was a scene that surprised everyone, the red-haired female pirate Katerina suddenly hugged Zhang Fan and kissed him.

When Green Wing was looking ugly, Caterina suddenly removed the fragment of reverse scales that resembled a mussel shell from her neck and hung it on Zhang Fan's neck. Then he held Zhang Fan's face and said viciously: "This talisman is known as the 'proof of the four seas'!" Legend has it that it can bring unexpected benefits to those who wear it, at least that's what my father said. You've made it clear to me that you must come back alive and give me back this treasure! If you dare not come back, I will kill both of your women, and then take the fleet to China to find you!" Turn your hometown upside down! ”

Akon's eyes almost fell to the ground, but it's still the boss! That's it, a piece of 'Ying Long's reverse scale fragment is done! Where did this Caterina give a 'certificate of the four seas', it is clear that she gave her heart to Zhang Fan!

Seeing this situation, Dark Sakura had no need for her task here, and immediately made a fuss about going with Zhang Fan. However, Zhang Fan did not agree. Because after he and Dark Sakura fell asleep, they could meet in another world, Yao Ji's shijie, so that they could pass some information to each other and learn about the situation in the two places. But it seems that in China, the time difference is the opposite of the Americas, the night and the day are reversed, and it is still a question whether the two can sleep at the same time.

Zhang Fan didn't expect to get a 'Evidence of the Four Seas' so easily, so it would be better, when he arrived in China, he could be sealed with the Book Demon, and whether there would be a mysterious connection between the two 'Evidence of the Four Seas'. Zhang Fan found that the fragment of the reverse scales of this 'Ying Long' shone slightly on his neck, and only the person who wore it could find it......

Ring Tip: Since the character Caterina has elevated her relationship with you to the level of a lover, she trusts you very much, so she will give you the scene quest item 'Evidence of the Four Seas' in advance. But you must help her complete her previous quest 'Katerina's Revenge', or you will betray her trust and lead to dire consequences......

'Evidence of the Four Seas' (Dark Gold): Legend has it that it is a fragment of the dragon god's scales, which carries the majesty and pain of the dragon god, and will bring unexpected fortune and calamity to the wearer......

…………

Beneath the kite is the vast Pacific Ocean! With the flight speed of the wooden kite, it will not take ten days to fly to the mainland of China. This is still due to the weakening of the scene, the flight speed of the wooden kite 'Skyfire' is only more than half of the original, and supersonic flight is naturally not to be considered. If it weren't for the wooden kite made by Lu Ban, which could replenish the spiritual power of the wind system at high altitude, even if it was a trip around Shijie, it would be no problem, otherwise everyone would have to take the sea ship 'Shengxiyi' to slowly move to the Chinese mainland.

At the suggestion of Zhang Fan, the book demon re-changed into a hardcover parchment book. Because his bone dragon has not recovered from serious injuries and still needs to recuperate, he cannot afford to fly such a long distance. The flight from the Yucatan Peninsula to the Minguang region of mainland China is basically a straight line, and you can stop at the Hawaiian Islands and Wake Island, which belong to the same latitude, to rest and recuperate.
