It seems that God has a pair of invisible big hands, which are manipulating all this, trying to prevent Zhu Youzhi from leading the Chinese nation to real prosperity and strength.

With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, as long as private capital is successfully introduced this time, then the imperial court can complete the mining of Luzon gold with the help of private capital.

If the Ming court had received an endless supply of gold from Luzon, it would not only improve its own financial situation, but also have enough strength to build a new monetary system.

Throughout the ages, the world's currency is the true symbol of a country's or even nation's strength, and what Zhu Youzhu pursues is to become a superpower that can print and print paper money and unblock the world.

It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, as if someone has already seen through Zhu Youji's plan.

This time, someone actually made an obstacle from it, not only murdering Zhang Heling, Zhou Gui and Zhang Lun and other noble sons, but also wanting to bury the entire ship.

Once these seeded players are all buried in the ocean, not only will the Ming Dynasty's talent training plan be frustrated, but it will also be a heavy blow to Luzon gold mining, and even directly affect the emperor's marine strategy.

In the dark night under the storm, the sailboat carrying Brother Gongzi and the prisoner of Guozi became rickety, and it seemed that it would capsize in this ocean at any moment.

Screams and prayers mingled, and the scene was chaotic.

Even though Wang Shouren, Zhao Kuo, Li Yanwen and Cheng Yi were swept into the sea from the deck by the waves, they had no time to take care of it now, and the first priority was to calm down the current situation.

"Hold on! Be sure to resist! ”

The captain of this ship is last year's Wu Zhuangyuan Su Can, and in the face of sudden bad weather conditions, he quickly organized the crew to change course to save themselves.

Originally, the best way was to get close to the windless zone of the shallow sea, but now that the conditions no longer allow it, the best thing to do is to sail out of this area.

Fortunately, the wind was blowing in a northwesterly direction, and as long as they could adjust the correct angle of the sail, they could take advantage of this strong wind to sail quickly north.

Although the risk of running aground at night is very high, the current situation does not allow them not to choose to take risks, and staying where they are is the greatest risk.

Boom!

Not long after the voyage, the rope of a sail was blown off, and the sail and the two crew members did not know what happened.

"A fan is transferred to the dry position, and B fan is transferred to the kun position, we must turn things around tonight!" Su Can came to the bow of the ship against the storm and commanded his subordinates.

Whether it is Enke's martial arts or the martial arts in the following years, the focus of the examination has become marine knowledge, so that they have a solid theoretical foundation for sea navigation.

It is precisely because of his solid theoretical knowledge and rich sailing experience that he became the captain of the second ship to the Nanyang Voyage Fleet.

"Pull!"

"Pull!"

"Pull again!"

……

Under Su Can's extreme operation, the canvas changed direction and took advantage of the strong wind blowing from the southeast, and the ship left the storm zone very quickly.

"Did we escape?"

After about half an hour, the wind around me was noticeably lighter.

Su Can's brows tightened, and he found that the anchor of this ship was deliberately cut off: "The Seven Dipper Stars are there, let's continue sailing in the direction of the Seven Dippers!" ”

It was impossible to moor here at all, and the wind from the southeast was still strong enough to blow the entire ship to the shore, so I had to stiffen my hair forward.

"Wang Shouren is missing!"

"Zhao Kuo and Li Yanwen are missing!"

"Jinyi Wei Baihu Cheng Yi is no longer on the ship!"

……

Since the sea ship had come to a relatively safe area, Su Can also wanted to find out who had cut off the anchor, but the inventory found that there were four people missing.

The sudden disappearance of one or two people could have been just a sailing accident, but the succession of disappearances made him realize that there was probably a shocking conspiracy.

It's just that this matter is not important now, and the top priority is to ensure the safety of the remaining people on board.

The night was very long.

Relying on the pull of the Big Dipper, the ship, which had lost a sail, seemed to move forward aimlessly, and the people on board knew that their life and death were determined by the heavens.

The next morning, the sea had already returned to calm.

However, the current in the sea here is very strong, and just when they thought they were going to run aground, a three-masted ship came head-on.

"Donghaiwei!"

"That's the flag of Donghaiwei!"

"Haha...... We are finally saved! ”

……

After seeing the banner of Daming Donghaiwei, a group of students ran to the deck and shouted excitedly, feeling happy for the rest of their lives.

At this moment, the person standing on the deck and observing with a telescope is none other than Xu Shiying, the governor of the East China Sea.

Originally, he thought that the emperor was too cautious, but when he saw that the hull in front of him was crumbling, and the other party was waving the flag for help towards him, he was deeply aware that the current saint was a veritable British lord.

Due to the timely appearance of the Donghai led by Xu Shiying, the governor of the East China Sea, the crisis of this sea ship was quickly resolved, and he personally escorted this sea ship carrying the hope of Luzon gold mining back to Tianjin.

Of course, after learning that Zhang Lun, Wang Shouren, Cheng Yi and others were missing, Xu Shiying also sent his own ships to search for the incident.

It's just that the situation at that time was too chaotic, because I don't know how long the anchor was cut off and drifted, but I don't know the specific coordinates, and I didn't find anything after searching.

Creation makes people, and disasters will be left for thousands of years.

He was rescued by a passing merchant ship, and then he followed the merchant ship directly back to Songjiang City, but he was the first to return to land.

He knew that the other three must not be as lucky as him, and they must have all fed the fish by now, so he concocted a fact and said: "The minister was ordered to escort the Qincha to the south, and Chen Zhengyu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, was sent to Guangzhou on the return journey, and the minister escorted the students of the Guozijian and the children of the lords and relatives back to Beijing. On the way back, there were people missing on the ship one after another, and the minister thought that there were villains plotting against his companions. On the night of the fourth day of the first month of November, when the storm was blowing, the minister found that Li Yanwen, a student of the Guozijian Ship Medical Department, threw Wang Shouren, the son of Xinjian Boshi, and Zhao Kuo, the son of Jingbo, into the ocean, and wanted to step forward to arrest the murderer, but he didn't want the minister and Li Yanwen to be swept into the sea by the wind and waves! Now, please Your Majesty immediately search for Wang Shouren, Zhao Kuo and Zhang Lun, and ask the imperial court to severely punish Li Yanwen and such evildoers! ”

Thanks to the gradual improvement of the Tang newspaper system in the Ming Dynasty, this matter was quickly reported to the capital.

When the saint heard this, he was immediately shocked.

In the face of the villains who dared to kill the imperial family, Emperor Hongzhi immediately ordered local governments to search for Wang Shouren and others, and at the same time, Li Yanwen was wanted throughout the country.

History has undergone subtle changes at this moment, at the end of the third year of Hongzhi, a student named Li Wenyan of the Guozijian Ship Medical Department was wanted by the imperial court, and ordered all levels of government to be escorted to Beijing for trial once discovered.

Just when the capital was turbulent, an island in the southeast ushered in a sunny day.

Wow......

Li Yanwen naturally didn't know that although he would not die after experiencing this shipwreck, he would also become a prisoner of the imperial court, but he woke up in a daze, and then spit out all the water.

When he was blown away by the wind and waves, he luckily caught a wooden plank that flew on the surface of the sea, and he and Wang Shouren and Zhao Kuo drifted on the sea surface with the buoyancy of the plank.

Originally, he already felt that he couldn't support it and wanted to give up, but he woke up in a wave, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Shouren and Zhao Kuo.

"Where is this?"

"It's an island, and we're saved!"

"Where are we saved, we are clearly trapped here!!"

……

Wang Shouren and Zhao Kuo were the first to wake up, they had just explored the situation on this beach, and in the face of Li Yanwen's inquiry, Zhao Kuo looked very depressed.

It's a dense green island with a silver beach about a mile long, but the more beautiful it is, the more it looks like a cage of beauty.

Zhao Kuo licked his dry lips, but looked at Wang Shouren and said, "What should we do now?" ”

The water in front of the beach was shallow and clear, but they had been soaked in the sea for at least the whole night, and now the three of them looked thirsty and hungry.

"Let's get some water first!"

Wang Shouren noticed that there were swimming fish in the shallow water, but this kind of ghost-like sea fish was the moon in the water, and he couldn't catch it with his hands alone.

If there was no food, the three of them might be able to hold on, but without water, they would never be able to.

"There's no rain on the ground?"

The three of them walked towards the forest, but when they saw the empty forest, they were completely dumbfounded.

Even though yesterday was still vivid, the ground in front of the three of them at this moment was dry, and it didn't rain at all.

"How so!"

Wang Shouren looked at the empty forest, and couldn't believe his eyes. Originally, his worst plan was to collect rainwater if there was no water source on the island, but he found that he seemed to be overthinking.

"If there is no water on this island, will the three of us die?" Zhao Kuo's mouth was dry, and he asked very worriedly.

Li Yanwen thought that he had escaped, but he didn't expect to come to an island without water, and suddenly sat on the root of a tree like a deflated ball.

Wang Shouren is not a character who sits and waits for death, and immediately pointed to the front and said: "There are so many vegetation here, it is impossible to have no water, let's look for it on the island!" ”

At this moment, he knew the importance of survival skills, and finally understood why the court specially arranged a survival skills class for them.

It is a pine forest dominated by masson pine and black pine, but it is quiet all around, and there is a lot of white sand on the ground, and the trees are widely spaced, which makes it look very empty.

After about a stick of incense, they still found nothing.

The group of three continued to go deeper, but they were almost frightened to death by a tattered dress hanging on the pine tree, which made the scalps of the three of them tingle for a moment, and they all felt that the tree was an indescribable thing.

"What is this?"

"Like goat's footprints!"

"Go, as the gentleman said: follow the footsteps of the beasts, and we may be able to find a source of water!"

……

Wang Shouren and the three suddenly made a discovery, because there was a lot of sand here, so a suspected goat's animal path was clearly visible, so they decided to follow the animal path to find a water source.

"Look, there's water there!" Zhao Kuo walked in the front, and suddenly said very excitedly.

A goat was leisurely drinking water in front, but it was so frightened by Zhao Kuo's voice that it ran away, but after running more than ten meters, it couldn't help but hide in the grass and look curiously here.

Wang Shouren and the other three took the water from the well with both hands and drank it, and as the sweet water entered the stomach, the whole person seemed to be alive again.

It's just that suddenly, after Li Wenyan was half-full, he realized a question: "Since there is no one on this island, why is there a well here?" ”

"Huh? yes, how can there be a well here! Zhao Kuo seemed to be an afterthought, and asked very confusedly.

Wang Shouren was looking for an answer, but when his eyes fell to the surface of the water and saw a reflection, he seemed to have an answer in his heart.

"Arrest all these outsiders!" An old woman who looked like a leader appeared behind Wang Shouren and ordered with a fierce look.

Wang Shouren and the three of them saw that there were more than a dozen people, although they seemed to be all women, and several of them were holding javelins with spear heads, so they were obediently arrested.

Even if you think about it with your ass, you know that these people who appear on the island will not be good.

Either they are wicked people who do not obey the decrees of the imperial court, or they are the family members of some pirate gang, how can a decent woman live on an island?

Although Wang Shouren was obediently bound, he also said seriously: "I am also the son of the new uncle and the son of the country's priest Jiu Wang Hua, who are you, and why do you want to arrest us?" ”

"Looking at the fine skin and tender meat, it is really a child of a rich family!" A woman looked Wang Shouren up and down, but she threw a flattering look.

"It doesn't matter who you are, but when you come to this island, you only have two choices!" The old woman looked very prestigious, and immediately said in a deep voice.

Zhao Kuo was a curious baby, and asked very cooperatively: "Which two roads!" ”

"Do you see the bones?" The old woman did not rush to answer, but stretched out her hand and pointed to the skull in the stone pit not far away.

Wang Shouren and the three of them had just patronized to drink water, where could they take care of those stone pits, but at this time, seeing the countless skulls and rotten clothes, they were frightened.

I dare to love that I just saw the clothes hanging on the tree on the road, and the source is here.

"Food and water are limited on the island! If you want to survive on this island, you have to come up with the corresponding things, or we will all put you to death! The old woman looked at the three Wang Shouren, who had been bound, and said viciously.

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up slightly, and he said loudly: "I have silver on me, and a 1,000 taels of money for benevolence, which is enough for the three of them to live on the island, right?" ”

"What do we want from you? Come on, the three of them don't seem to be able to get anything decent, so let's cut it! The old woman seemed too lazy to look at it, and said in a deep voice.

"Elder, why don't you search first!" The beautiful woman who had just thrown a flattering glance at Wang Shouren hesitated for a moment, and suddenly proposed.
