History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"Huh?" The emperor was a little happy after reading the letter, and then handed the letter to Zhang Tingyu, "Aiqing, come and take a look, my fourth son has reported a good news to me, the new city of the exchange market has been built appropriate."

Zhang Tingyu took it with both hands, glanced quickly after opening the booklet, and then congratulated the emperor: "Congratulations to the long live Lord, congratulations to the long live Lord, the Qing Dynasty has another big city."

This city has been established on the grassland, which is a very significant event for the Qing Dynasty, which is equivalent to nailing a nail on the grassland.

As long as this city exists in the future, no matter what, the grassland will never be separated from the Central Plains.

The emperor was obviously also happy, not only for getting a city for nothing, but also because of the deeper connection between Outer Mongolia and the Central Plains.

Thinking of the fourth son asking him to name the new city, the emperor was interested, so he asked Zhang Tingyu, "Ai Qing, do you have any good suggestions for the city name?"

Zhang Tingyu immediately said, "Long live Lord is so wise and mighty, even if you are a courtier, you can't catch up. The mutual market in Outer Mongolia is of great significance. I invite Long live Lord to come to the question."

The emperor smiled smugly, stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and then said: "This new city is close to the Chechen Khan, so why not call it Kherlen City." The Chechen Khan grazes cattle along the Kherlen River.

Zhang Tingyu was a little surprised.

Originally thought that the emperor would ask some titles such as Anshun and Fushun.

The emperor smiled, "How is it? This name is simple and easy to understand. Anyone can know where it is just by hearing the name?" This city was originally used for the exchange market. How can people on the grassland understand?It's better to follow the customs of the country and come up with a popular name based on geographical characteristics.

"Long live Lord is wise." Zhang Tingyu gave a long bow.

The emperor patted his beard proudly, and then said: "After the decree is drafted, Aiqing, immediately hand it over to the cabinet to send people to Kerulen City to proclaim the decree."

Zhang Tingyu walked up to the emperor, flung his sleeves and knelt down, "Cha!"

After talking about this matter, the emperor continued the topic just now, "Aiqing thinks that the Japanese people should fight or not?"

Twenty years ago, Shi Lang led the navy to recover Taiwan. Although Taiwan was still under the control of the Zheng family at that time, Zheng Chenggong had passed away, and Taiwan was naturally lost to the Qing forces. There was no suspense in this battle, and Shi Lang did not last long. Taiwan was recovered.

When the emperor received the news, he was naturally very happy, which represented that the territory of the Qing Dynasty had become complete in his hands.

And at that time, he received a memorial from Shi Lang, and the contents of the memorial made him very moved.

Shi Lang suggested that, taking advantage of the high morale of the army, he could simply take down Japan in one go, so as to avoid future worries.

The Japanese pirates have been disturbing the coast of the East China Sea since the Ming Dynasty. The worry Shi Lang said is that he is afraid that the Qing Dynasty will lift the sea ban and the Japanese pirates will reappear. If they attack Japan at that time, they will definitely lose to the Qing army.

After the emperor was moved, he summoned his ministers to discuss it, but the ministers were unwilling to go to war. They advised the emperor that the Qing Dynasty needed to cultivate his life and rest, and he was unwilling to start another war. After Shi Lang passed away, no one mentioned it again.

A few years ago, when the third prince mentioned Japan's Silver Mountain, the emperor thought about it again. No emperor could resist the temptation to open up territories.

What's more, it is still a land with silver mountains, which is a treasure land.

However, the emperor had run into a wall with the ministers before, and he knew that the court ministers would definitely object. All of them were greedy for peace and were definitely unwilling to start another war.

What's more, in the past few years, the war against the San Francisco and the rebellion against Galdan, the many wars have exhausted the entire Qing Dynasty. Both the people and the ministers long for peace.

At this time, the emperor proposed to attack the Japanese, and there must be a large number of people dissuading him, so he didn't mention it, and let his three sons toss about it.

It's not that he didn't know that the third and the eighth got back a large amount of money from the Japanese country, so he just watched with cold eyes.

This time, the Japanese envoy was brought back to the capital, and the emperor had already received the news.

He even knew every move of the Japanese in the capital.

Zhang Tingyu has always been brought by the emperor's side, so he naturally knows some of the emperor's thoughts, just like what his father Zhang Ying said, "Although the emperor is not as aggressive as he was when he was young these years, he still wants to open up territories in his bones."

Thinking of this, Zhang Tingyu said, "Going back to Lord Long Live, according to my humble opinion, this Japanese should be beaten, but not now."

The emperor nodded, he also meant it.

If you want to attack the Japanese country, you can't do it in a short while. First of all, when you raise troops for no reason, you must at least get the unanimous approval of the court ministers.

"Then when do you think it's the right time?" the emperor tested Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu said with a smile: "I heard that the third prince made a large amount of money from trading with the Waren Kingdom. I wonder if I can participate in a fortune?"

The emperor knew the elegant meaning after hearing the strings, and it was nothing more than luring them with profit. First, he let the courtiers participate in it. When he learned that the Japanese were rich, he would definitely encourage the court to attack.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, "Aiqing is worthy of being Zhang Ying's son, and I pardon you for organizing your own fleet to trade with the Japanese."

Zhang Tingyu's face was full of gratitude, but he was relieved in his heart. He had followed the man's words and encouraged the emperor to let the ministers of the court to participate in the maritime trade with the Japanese. Presumably he could help the third brother pay back a favor, right?

The Japanese envoys from the capital lived in the eastern suburbs post station just like the Western envoys. Before the emperor returned to Beijing, these people naturally could not move around and could only stay in the capital.

This time Japan is not a subordinate of the emperor, but sent by the Tokugawa family. This time, I want to find out if Zhongyuan has any intention of attacking Japan. If so, I will pay a lot of money to contact some court ministers. Japan speaks more good words in front of the emperor.

Japan broke away from the Central Plains under the leadership of the Tokugawa family. In the past 100 years of wars in the Central Plains, Japan had no scruples about going to Japan. This time, Japan was suddenly invited to the Central Plains. It is inevitable that people will feel unkind.

Especially the Tokugawa family, fearing that the Qing Dynasty would send troops to attack Japan. The strength of the Central Plains has always been imprinted in the hearts of the Japanese, not to mention the barbarians are in power now, what if it is unreasonable?

Although Japan thinks that it is the orthodox and inherited the folk culture of the Tang Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that it will leave the Central Plains by taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains.

Just when the Japanese were speculating wildly, several tabloids began to report some romantic affairs under Minning's suggestion, all about how the Japanese women let go, and some Japanese customs that are no different from the barbarians in the Central Plains .

Soon some erotic stories spread throughout the capital, and those who took in Japanese women always felt that there was a grassland on their heads.Seeing that the woman's expression was a little bit wrong, the beauty trick was hit hard for a while, but the Japanese were in a hurry.

……

The sound of the sea rushing into the ears.

Zhang Dahai was lying on a small boat by the sea, listening to the sound of the waves and looking at the sky, lying in his heart waiting to go to the sea to find a fish for lunch.

And at this moment, there was a booming sound from the ship's plank next to his ear, as if something was about to hit the ship.

Unless it was a fish, Zhang Dahai thought to himself that he would catch a fish for lunch, and this fish came.

He turned over slightly, and stretched his head out of the boat, he was stunned.

It turned out that it was not the fish hitting the boat, but a glass bottle washed ashore by the waves, hitting the boat and making a sound.

Although the price of glass has dropped now, it is not cheap enough to be thrown into the sea.

Wait, there seems to be something in that bottle?

Zhang Dahai reached out and grabbed the bottle, then lay back and put the bottle in front of his eyes.

It was a blue glass bottle, which seemed to be stuffed with a piece of cloth, and the mouth of the bottle was blocked with a wooden stopper. It was empty and no water had entered.

Interested, Zhang Dahai sat up and stretched out his hand to pull out the cork. Unexpectedly, the cork was very tight, so he finally took out his knife and carefully dug out the cork.

After removing the cork, he lowered the mouth of the bottle and poured out the contents.

The fallen object landed on his lap, and Zhang Dahai reached out to pick it up only to find that it was not cloth but a piece of sheepskin.

There is a line of writing on the back of the sheepskin. Zhang Dahai is illiterate, so he can only open the other side of the sheepskin. On the other side is a map. Zhang Dahai grew up by the sea and immediately recognized it as a nautical map.

The final point of the nautical map is a gold ingot symbol.

Even if you are illiterate, you can guess what it is.

Treasure Map?

This thought flashed across Zhang Dahai's mind, and there was only one thought in his mind that he was getting rich.

He looked around nervously, and found that he was the only boat on the whole coast, and then he jumped ashore and ran to the village.

Zhang Dahai's family lives in a village one mile away from the sea, and the whole village relies on fishing for a living.

The days of fishing in the past few years were not good, because the surrounding area was full of fishermen, and the price of fish could not be sold. Except for some rice, the rest was dried and kept for myself.

In the past two years, several canneries have been opened in coastal cities, and the price of sea fish has increased. Although the price has not increased much, it has overcome the dilemma of being unable to sell.

Every family in the village has accumulated savings, built new houses, and got rid of the title of poor village, and some girls are willing to marry into the village.

However, Zhang Dahai was not in this case. He grew up eating a lot of food, and he was the only one in the family. Although one person was full and the whole family had no worries, the speed of making money alone was not as fast as that of others.

A few days ago, he went out to sea to catch a lot of money, and he shipped it directly to the cannery to sell it. After making money, he planned to rest for two days.

I have nothing to do, and I am going to take a nap on the boat, thinking that I will encounter such a good thing.This is a treasure map. If he finds the treasure in the treasure map, wouldn't he be able to get rid of his identity as a fisherman and go to the city to buy a house and become a grand master?

Back in the shabby hut at home, Zhang Dahai quickly changed the ragged shorts on his body, stuffed the treasure map in his arms, and ran to the main road leading to the town outside the village.

There are a few of his sworn brothers in the town. Before the cannery opened, Zhang Dahai and his sworn brothers went around the wharf and ran on merchant ships.

After the opening of the cannery, as long as they are willing to go fishing, they can basically live a life of food and clothing. A group of sworn brothers will go home together after discussing it.

Zhang Dahai would come to the town every few days to get in touch with his brothers, and he had made an oath when they were sworn brothers, no matter what the reason was, the brothers would never be unfamiliar with each other.

Among the seven sworn brothers, three brothers have already married wives. At first, a group of brothers didn’t pay any attention to them. They gathered at the homes of these married brothers. Later, they found that these brothers, sisters and sisters-in-law did not welcome them, and regarded them as their husband’s pigs. friend dog friend.Afterwards, these brothers found another meeting point, and never allowed the other party's family members to get involved.

This time Zhang Dahai encountered such a good thing, he will naturally not forget his brothers.Firstly, he was not sure whether this treasure map was real or not, so he had to ask his brothers for reference. Secondly, the sworn brother Lin Mo was a scholar, so he must know what words were written on the back of the treasure map.

Thirdly, he is an illiterate fisherman, he can fish well, but if he wants to hunt for treasure, then hehe, maybe he will die, so naturally he has to find someone to go with him.

There are few brothers in this world who are more worthy of his trust, but they are all life-threatening friendships. When they met pirates on the merchant ship, they had to work hard to survive.

For each of them, the brothers are closer than their own.

"Brother Dahai, Big Brother asked me to come to you!" Zhang Dahai met his brother Xiao Qi on the way. Xiao Qi is only 16 years old and is the youngest among several brothers.

His life experience is very miserable, he doesn't know who his father is, his mother was drowned by the clan because she gave birth to him secretly, although it is said that the clan finally raised him, but he has always been looked down upon since he was a child.When I was eleven or twelve years old, I finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran outside, and boarded the boat in a daze.

Later, when he had nowhere to go, he lived with Lin Mo.

"Xiao Qi, you came just in time, and I have something to ask you." Zhang Dahai was also very happy to see Xiao Qi, and then asked, "Where is the eldest brother? I have something nice to tell him."

Xiao Qi was out of breath from running. He was thin and weak. After running such a long distance, he was almost reaching his limit. "Brother told us to go to his house. He asked me to call you. He went to find someone else." Zhang Dahai rolled his eyes, "Your home is the furthest away, when will you be willing to move to the town?"

Zhang Dahai rubbed Xiaoqi's head, "What will I eat and drink when I go to the town? Although the village is a bit far away, I eat and drink a lot." Everything in the town costs money, so it's not like him Although the home is a bit dilapidated, the land in front of the door can be used to grow a la carte, and if you want to eat meat, go to the sea to catch a few fish.

You need to buy oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, rice noodles, etc., and you don’t need much money for daily expenses.

Xiao Qi roared angrily: "Who told you to give all the money you got to that woman? You deserved to be cheated and lost money."

There is another story in Xiaoqi's sentence, so I won't mention it for now.

Zhang Dahai didn't get angry either, he turned his back and bent down, "Okay, don't be angry, you come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Seeing his panting appearance, I don't know when he will be able to return to the town.

Xiao Qi was not polite, and lay down on Zhang Dahai's back, strangled his neck, causing Zhang Dahai to roll his eyes.

Probably out of anger, Xiaoqi calmed down, so he let go of his hand and patted Zhang Haihai's back.

"drive!"

Zhang Dahai didn't bother with him, and immediately ran with his legs on his back.

When he arrived in the town, Zhang Dahai went into Lin Mo's house with Xiao Qi on his back.

Although Lin Mo is said to be the eldest brother, he is not older than Zhang Dahai's second and third brothers.

The reason why he was regarded as the eldest brother at the beginning was because several brothers admired him. He was clever and literate, not to mention that his ancestors were once high officials.

I heard that Lin Mo lived a life of rich clothes and fine food when he was a child. Later, it seemed that the family was raided by the imperial court, and he was the only one left in the whole family. His mother took him back to her natal family.

Not long after returning to her natal home, because his grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another, his mother was fed up with her sister-in-law's sarcastic remarks and couldn't stay any longer, so she took him to the countryside to seek a living.

No matter how difficult these years were, he never forgot to read and write for him. Unfortunately, a few years ago, Lin Mo's mother died of illness, and Lin Mo was now single.

Later, in order to make a living, just like Na and them, they only got on the boat and did some dirty work on the boat.

That time when the merchant ship encountered pirates, he was the one who stood up and united with them to resist together. It was also at that time that the merchant ship was saved, and the owner of the merchant ship gave them a large amount of silver.Several people discussed it, and they simply quit and returned home with the money.

Although Lin Mo was young, he was still recognized as the eldest brother by Zhang Dahai and others. He also brought Xiao Qi to settle in this town and watched each other with the brothers.

Zhang Dahai pushed open the door and went into the yard, just as someone came out of the house, the person saw Zhang Dahai and said hello.

"Fifth, are you here?"

Zhang Dahai put Xiao Qi down, Xiao Qi got out immediately, and said to the man, "Third brother, I'm going to call Brother Da Da."

The third brother immediately praised Xiao Qi, "Okay, Xiao Qi has finally learned to recognize the way!" Xiao Qi is a road idiot, and he can get lost in this palm-sized town, so it would be embarrassing for him to go out and find someone.

Fortunately, the road leading to Zhang Dahai's village is a straight road.

Xiao Qi also felt quite fulfilled, Zhang Dahai next to him let him down, "Where did he find me, I ran into him on the way."

Xiao Qi immediately became upset, and retorted: "I met you halfway, that's why I found you!"

The third brother watched the two bickering with each other, smiled and went straight into the kitchen beside him.

Zhang Dahai and Xiao Qi walked into the house with their mouths open, and when they reached the door, they heard the voice of the elder brother Lin Mo inside.

"...This time, many people got the news that the big families in the city are calling for people. I heard that as long as a person is selected, the family can get 20 taels of silver."

Someone next to him gasped. They fought against the pirates and saved the merchant ship, but the merchant only rewarded each of them with 30 taels of silver.

But paying such a high amount of silver is obviously a life-saving money.

Hearing these words, Zhang Dahai and Xiao Qi both shut up and walked into the room.

Lin Mo saw the two people coming in, and pointed to the two empty seats next to him, Zhang Dahai and Xiao Qi sat down in turn.

Lin Mo continued, "As far as I know, not only our side, but also Fujian and Taiwan. Many coastal cities are forming ships. There is no word about what happened. But I have news that Someone discovered the treasure map, this treasure map was divided into several parts, and was obtained by many people, but the most important part of the treasure map has not yet appeared."

When Zhang Dahai heard the treasure map, his heart pounded. It turned out that he was not the only one who got the treasure map, there were others.

"Those forces who got the treasure map planned to go to sea to try their luck. Because the most important part was missing, they planned to find it along the route of other treasure maps. It is said that the last lost part is close to the coastline, that is to say You can reach the place where the treasure is hidden with the picture, and then you can find the treasure according to your own ability."

The third brother came in with a pot of tea, and added tea to each cup. Zhang Dahai also had tea, and he was a little restless while holding the teacup.

"Brother, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with us? Who knows if the treasure map is real or not?" This was the fourth brother's voice.

The fourth brother is also a member of the married family, but his wife is more docile, even if they occasionally go to the fourth brother's house for dinner, they don't listen to what she has to say.

Lin Mo said: "Although the treasure map does not know whether it is true or not, it is true that there are treasures."

Others looked at Lin Mo one after another, and Zhang Dahai also looked up at him.

Lin Mo said, "This treasure map originally belonged to a pirate group. It is said that when someone went to suppress the bandits, he found that there was nothing on the island. The pirate group has been through decades and it is impossible to have no savings. Later, the ship When the team withdrew, they found a treasure map near the island, and it was confirmed that the treasure map was indeed written by the pirate leader.”

"It's okay if this treasure map is just a treasure hidden by pirates, but it is said that the pirate leader was originally a general who followed King Chuang to attack the capital, and when he left, King Chuang ordered him to carry away most of the treasure first. Everyone knows that after King Chuang's defeat, the treasure disappeared, and the pirate leader is the most likely person to know where King Chuang's treasure is."

At this point, he paused, "That is to say, the treasure hidden by the pirates probably contains most of the treasure that King Chuang plundered from the capital back then."

The eyes of the others lit up.

The third child poured cold water on him, "Brother, it's useless to rely on the few of us to want this treasure. We can't compare with those big forces."

Lin Mo glanced at him approvingly, "The third brother is right." As he spoke, he scanned the brothers again.

"I called you here this time because I want to tell you one thing. It is said that the missing treasure map once appeared, and it fell into the hands of a fleet. There was internal strife, and the glass bottle containing the treasure map fell into the sea again."

He said and picked up a map he had drawn by himself, "According to my calculations and the recent wind direction, this treasure map may drift to this place." He pointed to a point.

Others' eyes lit up, "Isn't this our territory?"

"Yes." Lin Mo looked at the person who spoke appreciatively, "Yes, it's near our coast. So..." He glanced at everyone, "I plan to find this treasure map. Whether it's for sale or Go find it, I don't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune, but I don't know if you are willing to?"

Xiao Qi was the first to raise her hand in agreement, "I am willing! Brother, I am willing to help you find it."

Several other people looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally said unanimously: "Brother, we all listen to you."

In the end, everyone looked at Zhang Dahai, only Zhang Dahai did not make a sound.

Zhang Dahai watched six pairs of eyes staring at him, he couldn't help swallowing, shrank his neck and said, "Brother, if you want to find the treasure map, I don't think there is any need for it." He said from He took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and put it on the table.

Lin Mo took the parchment and unfolded it, with a smile on his face, and then passed it on to others.

After several brothers passed to see each other, the youngest started first, and he patted Dahai on the shoulder.

"Okay, fifth, good luck!"

"I just said that the fifth one is a good man and good rewards. The woman cheated the money earlier, but this time God sent another bigger one!"

"The next time someone says Fifth Brother can't afford money, I'll turn my face against him."

"Let's not talk, let's not talk, the fifth child is a fortune-teller."

……

Each of the brothers patted Zhang Dahai on the shoulder, full of jokes.

Even Xiaoqi looked at Zhang Dahai with sparkling eyes, "Wow, Brother Dahai, it turns out that you have discovered the treasure map a long time ago. It's amazing."

"I found this at the seaside just now. After seeing it, I planned to come over to look for my elder brother. I didn't expect my elder brother to know about it."

Zhang Dahai touched his head in embarrassment.

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, stop teasing Lao Wu, sit down, and let's discuss."

After the others sat down, Lin Mo asked Zhang Dahai about the map.

"Old Five, you found this map, do you want to sell it or find it yourself?"

Everyone else looked at Zhang Dahai.

Zhang Dahai thought for a while, then shook his head, "Brother, I originally brought a map, because I wanted us brothers to find it secretly. But you said that there are other people who know this treasure, so we can't participate in it." Oh, maybe I lost my life because of this map."

As he said that, he glanced at the others, "Otherwise, we'll sell the map, and those forces will sell it to whoever bids the most."

The third child on the side shook his head, "Fifth, your thinking is too simple. If someone finds out that we sold this map, let alone getting money, we may not even save our lives." He did not approve of selling the map Go, if the news leaks, none of them who have seen the map will be able to escape.

Lin Mo tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a while and said, "I have some relationship. I can send this treasure map to the auction house. The auction house will never disclose the auctioneer's information." Staring at Zhang Dahai, "Old Five, you must know that this treasure map is worth more than other treasure maps. It records the final location of the treasure. It may be sold for less than one ten-thousandth of the treasure. You Are you really willing?"

Zhang Dahai was a little hesitant, "I listen to my elder brother." He didn't understand anything, but he knew that his elder brother would definitely not lie to him.

Lin Mo looked at the others again, "This matter is very important, everyone must not reveal it, it is related to our wealth and life."

The others responded with serious faces.

Then Lin Mo said, "My suggestion is that we keep this treasure map."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dahai noticed that the faces of the other brothers were full of excitement.Dare to feel that these brothers all wanted to hunt for treasure by themselves, and never thought of giving up the treasure to others.

Lin Mo continued, "The reason why I said we keep the treasure map is because there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Even if it is sent to the auction house, although the possibility of revealing the identity is extremely small, it is still possible. Those who took Those who came to other treasure maps are all of extraordinary strength, and the auction house is not a monolith, some people can abide by the rules, but there must also be people who are tempted by profit."

In the end, he said profoundly, "Human nature is the most untestable."

Xiao Qi immediately raised her hand, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely stand up to your test."

Everyone else was silent.

Lin Mo smiled again, "I know that everyone is a little bit excited when facing this treasure, but facing so many forces, we cannot take out the treasure by ourselves. Therefore, everyone needs to cooperate, and there must be no one small thought."

The second child immediately said, "Brother, no, the brothers will definitely not be that kind of person."

Lin Mo nodded, and then said: "I'm just saying the ugly words first. Our brothers have all passed the test of life and death. If anyone is stunned by wealth and does something that is sorry for the brother, then don't blame me. The shot was too harsh."

The third child said in a deep voice, "Brother, you are right, and I will stop here too. If anyone does something that I am sorry to everyone, I will be the first to stand up and ask him to settle the score."

Zhang Dahai was silent at the side, the map belonged to him, and among these people, he was the least likely to betray others.

The brothers swore one after another that this matter would be skipped for the time being. No matter what, everyone kept these words in their hearts, and they were always vigilant against themselves.

"Then let's talk about how to blend in with other forces."

They only hold the final treasure location, and they don't have any advantage in the early stage.

If you want to find the treasure map, you need to know the correct route, which will inevitably require cooperation with other big forces.

They are single and weak, and it is impossible to cooperate, or they can only secretly follow those big forces to find the place where the treasure is hidden.

Zhang Dahai said at this time, "Brother, there is a line of writing on the back of this treasure map, look at what is written on it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo stretched out his hand to turn over the treasure map, and was taken aback when he saw a line of words on it.

"What's the matter, brother?" asked the second child next to him.

Lin Mo glanced at him, and then moved his eyes back to the treasure map, "It says, 'Wait for the rich and the humble, the land will be free of grain'."

The other six people's eyes widened, "Doesn't this mean that this is indeed King Chuang's treasure?"

No matter how high or low, the average land is free of grain.

This was the slogan issued by Chuang Wang Li Zicheng back then, and it was these words that overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Mo also had a smile on his face, "That's right, it's very likely that this is really King Li Chuang's treasure, no, at least it's part of the treasure."

How many treasures Li Zicheng stole back then is obvious to all.

A few years ago, treasures left over from the Yuan Dynasty were unearthed in the capital, and there was a treasure-digging fever in the whole capital. Even so, the mystery of the lost treasures of the past dynasties was not found.

King Li Chuang's treasure can be said to be the closest to everyone's time. Compared with other ancient treasures, this one is the most convincing.

"Then grab it from him!" Zhang Dahai patted the table, blushing with excitement.

Even if King Li Chuang's treasure was only part of it, he would distribute it to several brothers.

"Yes, do him a favor, you have to do him a big thing in your life!" The second child also raised his hand in agreement.

"Brother, you tell us what we should do, and we will listen to you."

Lin Mo pressed his hands, "Don't worry, we will discuss this matter in the long run. First of all, we must have a boat, preferably a fast boat. Without a boat, even if we find the treasure, we won't be able to transport it back."

The others nodded, this is true, there is no ship that can't keep up with the fleet of those big forces.

"I heard that a fleet is planning to replace the new ships, and the original iron ships are going to be sold. Why don't we sell this?"

"Then you want a lot of money?"

"It's just an old ship. If the big guys gather together, it's almost done."

Several people discussed, but Lin Mo didn't make a sound.

After the discussion, Lin Mo said, "Then follow what you said, take down this ship first. There are still weapons. If there are no weapons, we will be in trouble if we encounter pirates along the way, which are those Western ships." For people at sea, Western ships can be compared with pirates.These Westerners are merchants when they go ashore, but they are all fucking pirates at sea. After a long time, who doesn't know who's background?

Fortunately, this group of Westerners did not dare to plunder Qing ships in the East China Sea, but they are not polite to the same Western ships.

When they ran merchant ships back then, they watched several battles at sea.

People who often run on the sea know that nowadays, swords and guns are useless at sea. Cannons and firearms must be used. It can be said that the sea is the place to test firearms.

The boat can still think of a way, but the firearms are okay but they can't get them, not to mention that if they buy a boat, they have no money to buy firearms.

Everyone fell silent again.

Lin Mo glanced at his house, and then said, "I have a way to get a batch of firearms. In this way, I will mortgage my house to the bank and loan out part of the money first."

The second child and the third child scrambled to speak, "Brother, why don't you mortgage our house..."

Lin Mo reprimanded, "All of you have families and houses. If the house is mortgaged, the family will not be in trouble? Besides, your houses are all in the village, even if the mortgage is worth how much?"

A few people dared not speak anymore.

Lin Mo patted the table, "Okay, this matter will be done as I said. You go home and raise the money first, and take care of the boat first."

"Yes."
