Chapter 939
Akan immediately asked Shu Yao: "What period was China in the past and what period is now?"
The book demon opened the hardcover parchment book and calmly reported: "It turned out that 1568 AD was the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty. If it is now in 1558 AD, it is the 37th year of Jiajing."
"What important historical events were there in the two periods?" Akan continued to ask with a serious look on his face.
"In 1567, the first year of Longqing, Emperor Longqing of the Ming Dynasty opened the sea ban, which is known in history as the "Longqing Switch". After the misalignment, the 37th year of Jiajing was the period when Japanese pirates and pirates were rampant in the southeastern coast of China..." The book demon briefly reported the most important and time-point events related to scene tasks.
Zhang Fan nodded, "It seems that the scene does not want us to be too easy. The 'Longqing Switch', the Ming Dynasty's Sea Ban is limited to open, but it is very beneficial for us to start selling Chinese goods and absorb silver from the Americas to do two-way communication to China. Now there are rampant pirates, I'm afraid the scene is to let us slap Japan..."
Aken shook his head, "This may be a hidden mission arranged by the scene..."
Shu Yao took a sip of tea, opened the hardcover parchment book, took a look, and said slowly: "Actually, what I care more about is who will be in the hands of this reverse scale fragment."
Zhang Fan Aken was attracted by the words of the book demon and came back to his senses and asked, "Who is it in his hands?"
"What I can be sure is that there is a Chinese pirate king who deserves this anti-scale fragment. It was Chen Zuyi, the pirate king who dominated Malacca during the Hongwu period of China!" said the book demon lightly.
"This person is entrenched in the Strait of Malacca for more than 10 years. At its peak, the group members have exceeded 10,000. There are 10,000 warships. They dominate Japan, Taiwan, the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and other seas. They robbed thousands of passing ships and attacked more than 50 coastal towns. Of course, this pirate king was unlucky and met Zheng He's voyage to the West. He was also fascinated by the world's greatest fleet! As a result, he was defeated by Zheng He's fleet and Chen Zuyi was also captured alive. Finally, he was beheaded by the Ming emperor and showed his public. It would be a good death."
The book demon flipped the pages of the book and continued, "I think the fragment of Chen Zuyi must have been obtained by Zheng He. This eunuch of the Three Treasures believes in Buddhism. Perhaps his belief has resolved the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the anger of the arrogance of the arrogance of the arrogance of the arrogance of the
"But these two are a little far away from this era. Even if they once had it, they have changed hands. I believe that the fragment of Yinglong's reverse scale should be in the hands of this person..." The book demon pointed to a Chinese pirate standing at the bow of the ship that appeared on the hardcover parchment. Everyone looked at it and saw that the pages were written...
"'Purity King' Wang Zhi." Aken said.
"Yes, this person is from She County, Huizhou Prefecture, southern Zhili, Daming. He is also known as Wufeng and the owner of Wufeng. He is a maritime trader in the Ming Dynasty. He is a related person in the incident where muskets were introduced to Japan. He was a famous plundering captain in China in this era. Because of the Ming government's ban on sea, he blocked his wealth. He colluded with Japanese pirates from Japan to harass the Chinese border. In fact, this person helped the imperial court to clear the pirates at the beginning, and indeed defeated many pirates, and the thousands of miles of sea boundaries were under his control."
"Wang Zhijinghai made great contributions and submitted many memorials to the court to open up maritime trade. He was rejected and was besieged by the government navy. He broke through and fled to Japan and regained his power. In the 31st year of Jiajing, that is, in 1552 AD, he led a large armed fleet to invade the southeast coast and conquered cities and plundered land. Jiangsu and Zhejiang were shaken by it, and the government army was invincible."
"Wang Zhi occupied Dinghai, called himself "Jinghai King", and later called "King Hui". If other pirates or Japanese pirates had not become the subordinates of "Jinghai King" under his banner, they would not be able to survive! In the 35th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, that is, in 1556 AD, Wang Zhi sent someone to pass on a message to the Ming government at that time, expressing his willingness to obey orders and assist in the elimination of refugees in Songjiang, and hoped to win the Ming government's promise to open up coastal trade. However, he was trapped by Hangzhou inspector Wang Bengu on February 5, 1558 AD..."
"Due to the tense coastal situation at that time, the Zhejiang Inspector General Hu Zongxian did not dare to kill Wang Zhi rashly and put him under house arrest in Hangzhou for more than two years. He originally hoped that the pirates would disband themselves because of the loss of the leader, but the effect was not great..."
Aken was overjoyed when he heard this, "The arrest in 1558 AD seems to be confirmed by this guy. The scene not only increases the difficulty of us, but also points out a direction, which is also a kind of balance. Wang Zhi should still be alive now, so let's go to China to find him! No wonder this trial scene has been arranged for twenty years, and it turns out that we were going to travel the world!"
"Twenty years? I'm afraid it's too late." Shu Yao pushed his glasses, "Wang Zhi will be executed at the end of 1559 AD the following year. If we want to meet him, we will probably be in a hurry! Otherwise, the fragment of reverse scale will change hands again..."
Akan stood up and said, "More than a year left! We should have time. We just don't know if the Pacific Ocean is stable in this era. Although there are no fleets of hostile forces, we are afraid that the scene will bring some sea monsters and other things to test us."
"We don't have to go all of them. Akan and Green Wing stay. This time, we have just started and need manpower. Zhang Fan and I took Xuanyuan Xing and An Ying to go. This time we may have to go to prison to meet Wang Zhi, "Jinghai King" and rely on hidden techniques. Although the scene shows that this person has clues about the "Yinglong" reverse scale, it will also be a not simple task." Shu Yao arranged, "In this way, there are few people, and you can use flying props to fly over the Pacific Ocean. It can save a lot of time."
"My 'Bai Ze' can also fly..." Green Wings were worried about Zhang Fan.
"You want to train pirates, and Akan wants to help build ships and guns, but they can't even leave. In this way, An Ying stays, protecting Miss Caterina closely, mainly because she is careful not to let her lose the fragment of the scale." Zhang Fan's words made Green-wing An Ying feel much more comfortable. "Complete Caterina's revenge and deal with the Spanish Caribbean fleet is a long-term construction task, and it depends on you both."
Aken thought for a while and said to Zhang Fan: "You take the 'Saint'an', I think this ship should have a chance to upgrade in China. Willis also brings it. It is both amphibious and convenient. Doniel left it for us, but it is only willing to let Dark Sakura ride it anyway." He knew that Zhang Fan would not be willing to carry both powerful summons, so he took the initiative to keep Doniel.
Then he said to Xuanyuan Xing: "This time Zhang Fan's safety depends on you. I'm not worried about the book demon. Don't let Zhang Fan be stupid."
Xuanyuan Xing nodded silently and took the "sword and forehead spear" handed to him by Green Wings...
…………
The next day, Zhang Fan Shu Yao and Xuanyuan Xing bid farewell to everyone, and everyone felt sad. This time they were separated by tens of thousands of miles apart and farther across the ocean. Although we were not children, we still felt reluctant to leave. At the time of breaking up, something happened that surprised everyone. The red-haired pirate Katerina suddenly hugged Zhang Fan and kissed him.
When Green Wings looked ugly, Katerina suddenly took off the fragment of the reverse scale similar to a clam shell on her neck and hung it on Zhang Fan's neck. Then she held Zhang Fan's face and said viciously: "This amulet is known as the 'Verification 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 hear it clearly and you must come back alive and return this treasure to me! If you dare not come back, I will kill both of your women and take the fleet to China to find you! Turn your hometown upside down!"
Akan's eyes almost fell to the ground, but it was still the boss! He just got a piece of "Ying Long" reverse scale fragment! Katerina did not give a "Certificate of the Four Seas", it was clearly giving her heart to Zhang Fan!
Seeing this, An Ying had no need for her mission here, so she immediately urged to go with Zhang Fan. However, Zhang Fan did not agree. Because after he and An Ying fell asleep, they could meet in the world of Yao Ji in another era, so that they could convey some information to each other and understand the situation in the two places. But it seems that in China, the time difference is the opposite of that in America, and the night and day are reversed, and whether the two can sleep at the same time is still a question.
Zhang Fan didn't expect that it would be easier to get a "Certificate of the Four Seas" so easily. This would be better. When we arrived in China, we could verify it with the book demon. Is there a mysterious connection between the two "Certificate of the Four Seas"? Zhang Fan found that the fragment of the "Yinglong" had a slightly shining light on his neck, and only those who were wearing it could find it...
Ring Tips: Since the relationship between the scene character Katerina and you is improved to a lover, she trusts you very much, so she will hand over the scene mission prop - "The Four Seas" to you in advance. But you must help her complete the previous mission "Catina's Revenge", otherwise you will live up to her trust and lead to terrible consequences...
‘The Four Seas’ (Dark Gold): Legend is the fragment of the Dragon God’s reverse scale. It carries the majesty and pain of the Dragon God, which will bring unexpected fortunes and disasters to the wearer...
…………
Below the wooden kite is the vast Pacific Ocean! With the flying speed of the wooden kite, it can fly to mainland China in less than ten days. This is due to the weakening of the scene. The flying speed of the wooden kite "Sky Fire" is only more than half of the original one, so you should naturally not think about supersonic flight. If it weren't for the wooden kite made by Luban, it would be possible to replenish wind-type spiritual power at high altitudes, even if you travel around the world, otherwise you would probably have to take the sea boat "Sheng Wan" to slowly move to mainland China.
At the suggestion of Zhang Fan, the book demon changed its body again - the hardcover parchment book. Because his bone dragon was seriously injured and still needed to recuperate, he could not afford such a long-distance flight. The Fujian-Guang area from the Yucatan Peninsula to mainland China is basically a straight line, and you can dock in the Hawaiian Islands and Wake Island that belong to the same latitude to rest.
