Jinyi Night Walk

The grand dukes of India are definitely not powerful, but their wealth definitely surpasses the monarchs and princes of all other countries in the world. It seems that their only mission in life is to accumulate.

India has a strict system of harmony and surnames, but few mud tui have risen up, and the stability of the political form has created conditions for the uninterrupted accumulation of wealth without dispersion or transfer.As a higher level than the royal family, the temple possesses even more astonishing wealth.

For example, in the ninth century AD, Mahmud of Ghazni took people to India to rob and robbed more than 25 pounds of gold from a temple.When the Byzantine Empire was at its strongest, there were only 20 pounds of gold in the treasury.The wealth of this temple exceeds the treasury of an empire.

For another example, "In the year 200, people found a secret room under a temple in Kerala, and the treasures found there were worth about [-] billion dollars." Then, Xia Xun led the group of pirates to rob King Guli. How much is the income from the treasury and the Velaman Temple worth?

Xia Xun was shocked for a long time before waking up.

He thought about it, and said to Xu Hu: "Pearls and gems are not easy to cash in. We don't have a jeweler on board, and the specific value of gems cannot be accurately measured. They are all boxed and stored. As for gold, take One tenth will be distributed to each crew member, and officers of all ranks will get an extra tenth for each higher rank."

Xu Hu was both surprised and surprised. After all, they were not real pirates, and the property they obtained could not fall into the hands of individuals. Therefore, he deliberately turned a blind eye to the behavior of his subordinates hiding the treasure. He also hid a treasure, but he didn't expect Xia Xun to be so generous.

Touched, Xu Hu couldn't help reminding: "Duke, if someone impeaches the court, it is a serious crime!"

Xia Xun smiled faintly and said: "Everyone has something to take, who will sue? Remember, the soldiers who died in battle will also be divided, doubled, and after returning, they will be given to their families!"

Xu Hu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Duke, I'll do it right away!"

Xu Hu excitedly announced the good news, and when the film failed, there was a burst of cheers like a tsunami on the boat.

Xia Xun smiled, turned her head to look at the pile of colorful jewels, and her eyes were a little dazed: "Such a pirate seems to be very comfortable working..." A few days later, Zheng He's fleet arrived in Guli.

His fleet was ten times larger than Xia Xun's, and there were so many yellow-skinned orientals coming.Almost killed the Guli people who were keen to spread the magic of Chinese Taoism.

Fortunately, many people here have seen Zheng He's fleet when they came last time. Seeing the familiar and unique Tuanlong banner on the ship, they knew that the Eastern envoy who commanded the Armada was coming again. The rumors died down.

When King Guli saw Zheng He as if he had seen a long-lost relative, he dragged his nose and tears to tell his loss. The remnants of Chen Zuyi's troops across Nanyang, they came all the way to the west, preaching and appease the barbarians, friendly trade, but also shouldered the sacred mission of annihilating this band of pirates.

King Guli was overjoyed when he heard the words, warmly entertained Zheng He, Zhang Xitong and his party, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies. A few days later, after the transaction was completed, King Guli specially sent Zheng He and Yu a detailed sea chart to continue westward. Kill all the damned pirates and vent his anger on him.

Boss bend, Hulumus.

The interpreter found a newly hired guide, and after accepting Zheng He's bag of gold coins, the guide immediately told him the direction he was about to reach.

"What? You said that if you drive along the coast to Adan, you can reach Tianfang?"

Zheng He was surprised and delighted. After getting the affirmative answer, Zheng He turned around excitedly, looked at the east and shouted: "Your Majesty! Zheng He has done it! It's a hundred thousand miles away to China, but the servants You have really arrived at the Holy Land, and you can pay a pilgrimage to the Holy Land!"

Zheng He looked excitedly at the figure of Yige on the rock wall, which was like a scripture to the locals. It was the guiding sign left by Xia Xun's fleet when it passed by.

"That's right! The Duke also went to Mecca, haha, the Duke walked in front of Zheng He!"

Zheng He laughed heartily, and shouted: "Come here, erect a monument here as a souvenir! My Ming Fleet is here!" The masons brought from Jinling City clanged and carved, and in the evening, the sun set At that time, the sea waves surged with brilliant golden light, which was reflected on a newly carved stone tablet by the seaside: "The country is more than [-] miles away from China, and the people and things are salty, and the Xihao is in the same wind. Put the stone here, and it will last forever!"

Zheng He caressed the newly carved stone tablet, turned his head to look southwest, and muttered to himself in an envious tone: "The Duke has already made a pilgrimage to Mecca..."

Xia Xun, whom Zheng He envied infinitely, was fighting tenaciously against the wind and waves at sea.

He led the "Pirate Fleet" all the way to the west along the coast, and he did business wherever he could. When he met unfriendly people, he didn't mind being a robber again. At sea, they had repelled three pirate fleets .Going all the way west like this, I have already reached Tianfang.

Because Zheng He's fleet is ten times larger than his, it is much more troublesome than them to do business or fill fresh water and food wherever he goes. In addition, Zheng He has to deal with the local government to conduct official Therefore, the speed is more than twice as slow as Xia Xun's.

Of course, Xia Xun had to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhu Yun's grave wherever he went, but he was about to forget about this secret mission.Because he knew clearly that in the original history, Zhu Yunqi never appeared again, and the embarrassing situation that Emperor Yongle was worried about would never appear.

In the beginning, either because of Zhu Di's confession, or because of his personal curiosity about the whereabouts of Zhu Yunqi's grave, he was still willing to inquire seriously, but as time went by, there was no news, and Xia Xun had almost given up on the search for Zhu Yunqi. , replaced by the exploration of new routes.

The Ming Dynasty has changed the tribute trade to free trade, so soon more folk adventurers and navigators will emerge in the Ming Dynasty to explore an accurate route, which is crucial to the future development of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Fei Yinglun also made a fortune during the business and plunder all the way. Even if Xia Xun made a slip of the tongue and refused to buy him a boat, the wealth he owns is enough to buy a boat that would make him sleep laughingly. big ship.

Fei Yinglun wanted to bid farewell to Xia Xun and abandon the ship when he was in Hulumos.Because at this time, the European route to Nanyang will land in the Persian Gulf, pass by land through the Middle East, then take a boat to the Mediterranean, and then arrive in European countries. Fei Yinglun wants to land here and return to his hometown.

In terms of straight-line distance, it is undoubtedly the shortest, but the huge cost of land transportation makes this route far less economical than starting from Ouhong, passing through the Cape of Good Hope, and then going around.

Xia Xun's knowledge of the West was limited, and he didn't know much about world geography, but he clearly remembered that Europeans could come all the way by water through the Cape of Good Hope, and there was no need to go through the long land transportation at all.

Therefore, he refused to let Fei Yinglun go, and he wanted to continue sailing to Beijing.He wants to find the Cape of Good Hope, which has not yet been named by this religion. He doesn't know the specific route, but he has his own clumsy way. Walking along the coastline, he can't believe that he can't find the southernmost tip of Africa, which is waiting for him. Discovered virgin territory.

This method is often used when he plays the game "Xuanyuan Sword" to enter the maze. Although it takes a lot more time than reading the strategy, it can be used for leveling.Now there is no such thing as leveling, but there are treasures to rob, and his crew has become addicted to robbing.

"We are pirates, fierce pirates, with a bottle in our left hand and treasure in our right hand, we are pirates, skilled pirates, beautiful girls.

Please come to my arms.... "

They sang the song Fei Yinglun taught them, and walked happily into the depths of the sea. Along the way, the level of "monsters" they encountered became higher and higher. This "monsters" are unpredictable Tianwei, who can resist Tianwei?

The sea brought them wealth, but also danger.

The strong wind roared, setting off a huge wave, one after another continuously beating the ships that fluctuated in the wind and waves, and there was no place to anchor. This ghostly weather has lasted for three days, and it is about to drive people crazy.

Who would have imagined that the previous day was still cloudless and clear, but suddenly the climate changed drastically?The climate here is obviously different from that of Nanyang.The heavy rain hits the sky and the sea, and it is so vast that it is impossible to see things in the distance.

The sailors were nervously busy on the ship, everyone was beaten to the bone by the salty and cold sea water, Xia Xun also appeared at the bow of the ship, using weights under his feet to firmly grasp the deck, still following the ship's strength swing and slip.

In the distance, Xu Husheng shouted something hoarsely at him, but the roar of the wind and waves, the clatter of the rainstorm, and the explosion of thunder were intertwined, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

The sea water seemed to be squeezed from all directions, Xia Xun could hear the sound of the hull being squeezed, and the screams from the hull were right next to his ears, as if the boat was about to disintegrate.

A smaller boat in front was tossed back and forth by huge waves one after another. Sometimes it was lifted into the air more than ten meters high, and then it was smashed into a deep whirlpool. People often thought that it sank to the bottom of the sea, never When it is impossible to appear, it rises tenaciously to the surface, and you just breathed a sigh of relief when it is bitten again, and the huge wave smashes it down....

The wind and waves were endless, torturing people's patience. Tang Sai'er was tied to the bed by Su Ying with a cloth belt, and she vomited in a mess.Su Ying is more capable than Xia Xun at this time, and she can be seen from time to time in the wind and waves, commanding the crew together with Xu Hu, trying their best to control the wild horses in the wind and waves.

At some point, the wind and waves finally subsided, and all the people were exhausted and paralyzed on the boat. The boat was still violently bumping, but compared to how it was when the wind and waves were raging, it was already like being in heaven.

Suddenly, the small boat that had been struggling tenaciously in the wind and waves to the present suddenly exclaimed: "It hit the rocks! It hit the rocks!"

Xu Hu, Su Ying, and Xia Xun ran to the side of the boat one after another, only to see the people on the small boat running around on the boat, as if they wanted to block the hole in the bottom of the boat. Su Ying had sharp eyes and looked into the distance. Su Ying immediately yelled: "We are approaching the land, all boats should be careful of the rocks, throw the rope, rely on help, and rescue the people. If the boat can be towed to the shore, then abandon the boat!"

The sailors of each ship cheered up and tried their best to steer the ships to avoid the hidden reefs. When several ships finally docked to the shore one after another, the wind and waves finally stopped. ! .
