Chapter 336 Treasures of a hundred years ago

Attacking the Treasure Island is the first battle of the navy, which is of great significance.

Yu Mingjun wrote the whole process of the battle to Liu Xia after the end of the battle, and there was no omission at all. At the same time, he affirmed the surrendered general Li Dachui. The veteran general White Dream Tiger was also praised. Although hundreds of soldiers were killed in the first battle of the navy, it brought valuable experience. Especially in the battle between ships at sea.

This time, the navy won a complete victory and captured all the pirate leaders and Japanese pirates in the surrounding waters. These people were mostly outlaws, so it was quite difficult to capture them alive. They are not afraid of death. They often kill a few enemies and fight to the death after earning their lives.

The White Shark Guard was responsible for landing on the coast at that time, so he fought against the enemy first. The soldiers of the White Shark Guard are all selected from various legions. Which one has not experienced a hundred battles? Although their combat effectiveness on the sea is greatly reduced, once they land on land, it will be like a fish in water, and their combat effectiveness will soar. At present, the White Shark Guard is cultivated as a marine of the navy.

The biggest loss in this battle is the newly formed Nu Haiwei. Most of the Nu Haiwei's troops are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. Although it was the last landing on the island, the mortality rate was the highest. There are almost 3,000 pirates on the island. Li Dachui bombarded and set fire to the ships moored in the harbor and burned them all. These people can't leave Treasure Island for half a step.

When the sky is dim on the 5th, at dusk. The two guards took full control of the island. Captured more than a thousand pirates. The other 2,000 people were destroyed. After that, Yu Mingjun took the nests of the pirates one by one and intercepted a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, which were robbed by these pirates. Many things that have been lost for a long time have reappeared in people's eyes.

In a pirate's den, Yu Mingjun got a box cast in copper, which was locked. I don't know what's in it, but it looks quite valuable. Yu Mingjun is more like knowing what these pirates put in it.

"Is it a national jade seal?" This idea suddenly came to Yu Mingjun's mind.

Legend has it that the legendary jade seal from the Qin Dynasty was exiled to Mongolia after the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that the Mongols gave it to Huang Taiji. However, this statement is not credible. As for where the national jade seal has been, no one knows where it is. It has become an eternal mystery. And the Ming Dynasty also became a big dynasty without the national jade seal, which seemed to be a little unspeakable.

"Take the axe and smash this lock!" The lock on the copper box has obviously not been opened for a long time, and it is covered with copper rust.

"Be careful not to break the things inside." Yu Mingjun looked at it nervously.

A personal guard took an axe and walked to the copper box. Sweat oozed from the nervous forehead. Yu Mingjun asked the guards to block the surroundings and not allow anyone to come in.

"Forget it, I'll do it." The guard looked at Yu Mingjun's nervous face towards the copper box. He was obviously a little afraid that he would mess things up, so he didn't dare to do it. When Yu Mingjun took the axe and hammer from his hand, he felt relieved.

Yu Mingjun waved an axe hammer and hit the rusty lock fiercely. With a 'bang', an axe hammered down, and the lock fell to the ground. Yu Mingjun immediately looked at the copper box with joy. However, before that, he transferred the guards to the outside defense and opened the copper box with Bai Menghu and others. However, what disappointed Yu Mingjun was that there was no Heshibi's national jade seal in the copper box, gold, silver and jewelry, and no antique ceramics in the copper box. It's a roll of paper.

Yu Mingjun picked up a piece of paper and saw a complex hull structure painted on it. Yu Mingjun became more and more excited and kept looking through the paper in the copper box. The previous disappointment had already disappeared, and at this moment, excitement appeared on his face.

"This is--this is--"

Yu Mingjun has never been so excited. He is a calm and famous general. I basically can't see the unspeakable moment when I can see Yu Mingjun's excitement. This made the Bai Menghu next to him very puzzled. What exactly are written on these papers? Without Mingjun's order, Bai Menghu did not dare to go up to check without authorization.

"General? General--" Bai Menghu shouted carefully a few times, waking up Yu Mingjun, who was addicted to joy.

"General, this is--" Bai Menghu pointed to the yellow paper in the copper box.

Yu Mingjun smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It's definitely a good thing."

"This is the shipbuilding drawings handed down during the Yongle period! There are all kinds of ship construction methods, including the treasure ship on which the eunuch of the three treasures is used.

You should know that the biggest problem facing the Pingbei Army is that it can't build a big ship. Although Liu Xia summoned the world's excellent craftsmen to build ships, the largest ship built at this moment because there were no drawings, the largest ship built was only 20 feet. Zheng He's treasure boat is 44 feet long and more than ten feet wide. It was simply the aircraft carrier at that time. The construction level is superb.

"Didn't these drawings say they were destroyed?" Bai Menghu looked at the drawings of the box doubtfully and muttered.

It is recorded in history that after the death of Emperor Yongle, Emperor Xuande asked Zheng He to sail for the last time. It didn't take long for the ministers to destroy these drawings in various names.

Yu Mingjun said, "It should be that some people at that time couldn't bear to destroy these processes, so they secretly hid them. For some reason, he was exiled to the pirate's den. These pirates probably saw that these things were useless, so they casually threw them into their warehouse. This is really God's blessing for us. If we hand over these drawings to the shipyard and let them manufacture them according to the drawings, we will definitely be able to build a large number of large warships. It's really timely rain!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words. Bai Menghu said, "If there are enough warships, the combat effectiveness of our navy will definitely increase and will not become a burden in the eyes of others." The establishment of the water army reduced the funds of other legions, which made some people dissatisfied. Naturally, they did not dare to say anything to Liu Xia, so they vented their anger on the water army.

"You keep these drawings carefully. Take it all away. Then tell the prince.

——————————

When Yu Mingjun commanded the water army to win on Treasure Island, Li Dingguo in the south was attacking Guiyang. Although Ma Bao was defeated by Li Dingguo, he relied on the strong city of Guiyang to block Li Dingguo outside Guiyang for several days.

At the same time, Wu Sangui, who is far away in Wuchang, has also sent his eldest son Wu Yingxiong to Kunming with gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful women. Wu Sangui's 'sincerity' obviously moved Sun Kewang. Sun Kewang also thought that Wu Sangui would unite with him, but what he didn't expect was that Wu Sangui sent his prince over. If he detains or kills him, it will definitely be a heavy blow to Wu Sangui. However, this also better shows Wu Sangui's sincerity. This makes Sun Kewang feel that he is very valued.

Since the State of Chu recognized his title of the King of Qin and rewarded the whole territory of Yunnan to his grandson Kewang, he has to shoulder this responsibility. Even if Sun Kewang agreed with Wu Sangui's joint strategy. Every day, Wu Yingxiong and other people are entertained.

Then Sun Kewang began to gather troops to attack Li Dingguo's control in Yunnan. Li Dingguo basically transferred all his troops to attack Wu Sangui this time, and there were almost no troops under his control of the city. What's more, there are many local ethnic minority Tusi in Yunnan. These Tusi supported Li Dingguo, so they were slaughtered by Sun Kewang. Suddenly, the whole of Yunnan became a land of blood.

Li Dingguo, who was attacking Guiyang, was shocked when he heard that his rear was attacked by Sun Kewang. He knew that he and Sun Kewang disagreed, and he did not expect that Sun Kewang would take advantage of people's danger.

This made Li Dingguo very angry. He was ashamed of the people of Yunnan who supported him, many of whom died because of him. However, since he has attacked Guiyang, it is not so easy to go back.
