"Zheng He? Who is Zheng He? I have never heard of this name." Shaoyu had a question mark on his face. It is understandable that this Malaysian does not understand the history of China. Not every foreigner loves China. culture.
"He was a navigator and diplomat in the early Ming Dynasty of China. He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean, with a large scale, a large number of people, and the longest time at sea. He can be called a legend in the navigation world. He is not only influential in China, but also It even has a certain influence around the world." Martin simply explained that this American actually knows so much about this period of history. It seems that he has already planned it. Who would pay attention to these things among ordinary foreigners?
"Captain Martin, you really know our Chinese history very well." Jiao Ba looked at him and said with a smile, but this title of captain has many meanings and is not a sign of respect at all. meaning.
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I know a little bit. It's also because of Jenny, otherwise I would understand." Martin used Jenny as a shield again. He said this every time, as if he was more interested in Jenny. , then why did he go behind her back to find another woman? He was really a man with a cruel face.
Jenny interrupted at this time and said, "Okay Martin, you don't have to blame me, Jiao Ba, listening to what you said, it seems to make sense. First of all, the time can be matched, when Zheng He went to sea, It just so happened that Zhu Di had just ascended the throne, and many historians also said that Zheng He went to sea to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. "
"After such an analysis, isn't the ultimate secret of this navigation chart the whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen?" Chang Shan said with some amazement.
The big man said something very ridiculous at this time, "What is all this? What is this and that? And what is Zhu Wen? I can't understand it."
Mantou rolled his eyes at him and scolded him with a smile, "You silly guy, are you Chinese? Why don't you even know this bit of common sense? Emperor Jianwen was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Di is Emperor Yongle, but he overthrew Emperor Jianwen. The two are uncle-nephew, and Zhu Yunwen is the name of Emperor Jianwen. It’s that simple. Do you understand now?”
“Oh, it’s so long ago?” Don’t you understand? I haven’t gone to school, so I don’t know what’s so strange about this?” The big man glared at the steamed bun and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't interrupt, you two, listen to them." I quickly told them to shut up. It was getting more and more confusing.
Jiao Ba took over the words at this time and said, "Brother Chang Shan is right. It is very possible. I have carefully analyzed everything before. After Zhu Di seized the country, Emperor Jianwen and his queen disappeared. Later, Zhu Di He sent Zheng He out to sea, saying he wanted to trade with other countries. The purpose of traveling back and forth was actually to find Emperor Jianwen. If you think about it carefully, did Zheng He leave behind this nautical chart? Did he hide something? If he did not return to the Central Plains but died overseas, would it happen again? What's the secret?" he asked again.
Li Xin said with a cold face, "It's very simple. He may have found Emperor Jianwen, but he did not tell Emperor Yongle. The reason why he did not return to the Central Plains may be because he felt ashamed. For Emperor Yongle, or in other words, in order to keep this secret, he deliberately Buried on a small island, this matter will be sealed forever."
"Isn't it right? When Zheng He went to sea for the last time, Yongle had already died. That was Xuande. Emperor, there is no reason for him to be ashamed of Emperor Xuande?" Chang Shan continued.
Li Xin spoke again, "Because Yongle is dead, Zheng He has no need to go back. This is called disgrace to the late emperor. The ancients were very particular about loyalty and filial piety. Furthermore, his power has long been overturned. Xuande has been revoked, and he has no status when he goes back. Wouldn't it be better to just die on the way and bury himself on that small island, with his secret well preserved and a huge mausoleum for himself? "< br>
"I think it's almost the same. Zheng He's mausoleum was built. If we didn't have this navigation map, no one would have been able to find his burial place. Since ancient times, many emperors' tombs have been excavated in China, not to mention the tombs of ministers. The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty was completely stolen. Zheng He buried himself on such a small island far away from the land. Not only could he keep the secret, but he could also ensure the safety of his tomb. It was really amazing. "I said. He said it from the bottom of his heart.
I really admire how well Zheng He built his mausoleum. Although it is far from the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, for a eunuch, this is the supreme treatment, and he is the only one in history.
The big man curled his lips and said, "There is nothing in his mausoleum, except monsters and monsters, just big rocks. There is nothing to steal. The half of the nautical chart is still nothing. If not even the nautical chart None, it’s really a waste of time for us.”
"Don't mention this. I get angry when I mention it. I don't know anything else. That box of gold leaves was wasted. If you hadn't stopped me at that time, wouldn't we be rich now? ?" As Steamed Bun spoke, he glanced at me intentionally and then at Li Xin.
I was the first one to ask him to jam the box on the door. Li Xin stuck the knife directly on the steamed bun's neck, almost wiping his neck. No wonder he could When I got angry, a box of gold was gone, and my face was ruined.
"Sandou, why are you talking about this? The situation was urgent at the time. If not for this, would we have come out alive?" I quickly explained, don't let this matter become a hidden danger for us.
"Damn it, can't you find something else? Damn it, when I think of that box of gold leaves, I feel angry in my heart. That's a treasure." Mantou covered his face with one hand, looking very worried. sad.
Martin snorted coldly and said, "Some people just don't want others to get rich. This fat gentleman, don't take it too seriously. Just be more careful next time and don't let some people do bad things again." "
I wanted to say to Martin, aren't you trying to sow discord? But before I could say anything, Steamed Bun immediately answered, "Thank you, Mr. Martin, for reminding me, but this is our own business. Don't bother Mr. Martin to worry about it. Also, don't call me Mr. Fat, I hate fat people." "This sentence is really exciting, and it makes Martin feel ashamed, and he is no longer a human being inside and outside.
"Okay, stop talking about this. Have you ever thought about why Zheng He left some people to live on the island? Is it just because of the beautiful scenery?" Jiao Ba asked again , it seems that he already has an idea.
Jenny chuckled and said, "If I'm not wrong, the people living on the island are all people who know this secret. Zheng He deliberately left them here in order to keep this secret sealed." Island life, to put it bluntly, means that they are imprisoned on that small island and live in isolation. In this way, the secret will never be revealed. "
"Jenny, Jenny, I really love you more and more. Why are you so smart?" Jiao Ba tilted his head and pointed at her.
"Go away, I'm telling you Jiao Ba, if you talk like that again, see how I deal with you." Jenny said with a cold face.
Martin's eyes were fixed on Jiao Ba, as if Jiao Ba would be torn into pieces. He snorted coldly and said, "You are so thick-skinned, xxxx." He then said a lot of "I" I didn't understand the English, but you could tell by his expression that it was definitely not a good word.
Jiao Ba was not angry either. He put away his smile and said, "Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble and get back to the topic. Jenny said a lot. The residents who lived on the island before must all know this secret, but Zheng He couldn't bear to kill them, so he had to leave them to live on the island. "How could such a confidential matter be known to so many people? This is a bit unreasonable." Li Xin asked.
I looked at her and said, "Zheng He did not go to sea alone, but had many fleets. There must be someone familiar with this sea route. Even if the residents of the island do not know the ins and outs of the whole thing, they must also know some inside stories, so In order to completely keep this secret, he had to trap them on the island. In this way, he would be separated from the outside world. The world lost contact, and this secret would disappear with the passage of time, generation after generation. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Qing soldiers once again landed on the island and simply killed them all, leaving only the poor old man. "
"I said Zhongyi, do you think the old man is dead?" the big man suddenly asked.
"He should be dead. We all saw it. He was like a puddle of quicksand, and his body was gone." When I think of the old man's death, I feel a little sad. He is also mine. My savior. Without him, I would have died on the island. I hope his soul can rest in peace under the Nine Springs.
The big man sighed and said, "It seems that this so-called immortality is not absolute. It would be great if he is still alive. He will definitely know the secret of this navigation chart, and we don't have to worry about it anymore. It’s just a wild guess.”
I shook my head and said, “It’s useless, just forget it.” He knows the secret of the navigation chart, but does he know where the eunuch named Liu Qian is? And who is the man in black with cat eyes who almost killed him? We have to rely on ourselves for these things. Even if the old man is alive, It’s impossible to go to sea with us, so don’t have any illusions.”
"What are you talking about? What about eunuchs and men in black? They're still immortal. I...I'm confused." Martin looked around. Of course he didn't know what we were going to say.
“It’s nothing, it’s all happened in the past.” Jenny said it in one stroke, interrupting the matter. "Jenny, can you tell me? It looks like... you guys were in trouble before." Martin had a very understanding expression, meaning that he could talk about difficult problems and let's work together to find a solution.
