Chapter 945 Pseudo Treasure Land

Zhang Fan took a look at the leather armor and found that the leather armor was sewn with a strange protective mirror at the chest position, about the size of two palms. The theme of the protective goggles is a piece of reverse scale, which is larger than the one of Catalina in Zhang Fan's hand. Zhang Fan and Xuan Yuanxing can see that the damaged side of Caterina's reverse scale fragments is exactly the same as the damage. If combined, the shape of the last missing piece of inverse scale fragments is also clear.

The rest of the protective goggles are used to complete the reverse scales with refined white copper. The reverse scale texture of this 'Yinglong' is extremely tough, and the sharp blade can't be hurt. It is naturally super strong to make a heart mirror! At this time, Zhang Fan and Xuan Yuanxing also received a ring prompt, and the second 'Certificate of the Four Seas' was also confirmed.

"This armor has saved my father's life several times. My father gave him to you, and he must have received great favors from you." Wang Ruxian said to Zhang Fan, and his earnest words made Zhang Fan blush a little. If you have any other requirements, please just put forward them. I dare not refuse whatever I can!"

Zhang Fan nodded, solemnly put away his armor, and then said to Wang Ruxian, "Your father once said that if you are willing to follow me to the Caribbean, I will let you take charge of a fleet, and there will be your place in the New World!"

Wang Ruxian shook his head, "My father is in a desperate situation. How can he avoid danger for his son? Don't mention it again!"

Zhang Fan and the book demon looked at each other and knew that this matter was in line with history. Wang Zhi's son would not leave easily. So he did not force it, so he asked Wang Ruxian, "Your father's men will be willing to follow us to the Caribbean Sea on the other side of the ocean. It is the right time for us to compete with the Spaniards. With the help of Chinese people, it will naturally add wings like a tiger! It's good to show my Chinese style overseas!"

Wang Ruxian thought about it and kept shaking his head, "Dongying Japanese pirates, not our clan, must have different hearts. My father's men are loyal and righteous. No matter whether his father lives or dies, he will never leave. Those who can leave with you are also scheme people, which is not credible!"

"Is it that no one in China can wait for me to go overseas?" Zhang Fan was a little discouraged.

Wang Ruxian thought for a moment and said to Zhang Fan, "But there is one person, but I'm afraid you have concerns..."

Zhang Fan asked curiously, "Who is it?" But it doesn't matter."

Wang Ruxian smiled and said, "This person is a woman, but she is a heroine and a hero among women. It's just a little..."

"Woman?!" Zhang Fan frowned, but he didn't look down on the woman. I just feel a little troublesome." Let's talk about what's going on? It's not a big deal about your background. As long as the ability is outstanding, some of his subordinates can do it.

Wang Ruxian pondered for a moment and said, "This woman's ability is not as small. She is not only agile, but also has a good way to govern. Another pirate group with my father's name was well governed by her! It even has more momentum than my father!"

"Oh? And this person's matter? Why have I never heard of it?" Zhang Fan was surprised.

Wang Ruxian said, "Sir must have heard of Mingshan monk 'blood monk' Xu Hai?"

"Xu Hai?" Zhang Fan was shocked when he heard the words, "He is a pirate with your father's name. Wasn't he killed by Hu Zongxian the year before last? Is it the woman around him..." Zhang Fan suddenly remembered a woman's name, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Wang Ruxian nodded and said, "It's Xu Hai's wife, Wang Cuiqiao! This woman was originally a woman from an official eunuch. Because her father was convicted, she sold herself to save her father and later was exiled in a brothel. Wang Cuiqiong's appearance and talent are the top for a while. The monk Mingshan admired him for a long time, and then invaded the coast, plundered it back to the island, and then became a pirate.

"But Xu Hai, the 'blood monk', can be named with my father, and half of the credit belongs to this woman's good management! Otherwise, my father is a famous sea merchant on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. How can Xu Haiyi be compared with Wufu? My father often said that if Xu Hai gets Wang Cuiqi, he will get half of the sea area overseas!"

Zhang Fan nodded when he heard the words, "I have also heard that Xu Hai's leadership is extraordinary, and the naval battle is stronger than the Daming Marine Division. But the operation is definitely not as good as the 'Pure Sea King'! If it hadn't been for this strange woman, he would have gone bankrupt long ago! However, Xu Haicheng also failed Xiao He. After listening to Wang Cuiqiong's words, he surrendered to Hu Zongxian two years ago, but died at the hands of Hu Zongxian. And this Wang CuiQIhao heard that he had long been martyred for jumping into the sea for Xu Hai. How could he say that?

Wang Ruxian smiled mysteriously, "It's true that she threw herself into the sea, but sir, how can this woman often travel on the sea and doesn't know the water? The so-called suicide is just a cover-up. In fact, Wang Cui bought the leader of the Ming army who escorted her and jumped into the sea to escape. Later, this woman collected the remnants of Xu Hai, a group of 'blood monks', and defected to my father. My father, for the sake of running with Xu Hai in those years, allowed her to eat around Luzon Island. But I haven't seen him for two years, and my father has been arrested. And under its operation, Luzon Island may have a different atmosphere.

Zhang Fan was overjoyed when he heard the words: "It's so good. I'll wait to find this strange woman Wang Cuijiao!"

After saying goodbye to Wang Ruxian, Zhang Fan still had a task. He led the stalking pirates a few times in Zhejiang, and taught several groups of blind pirates who wanted to kidnap them. Although it was weakened to only one-fifth by the scene, with the help of props, it is still a good thing to fight a few robbers. Even if you can't beat it, it's no problem to escape by relying on the flying skills on the leather armor.

After suffering several losses, the pirates dare not harass again. Even afraid that the two of them would fly away and disappear, even the following them was hidden a lot. In fact, among the several pirates who followed Zhang Fan, the Ming brocade suit arranged by Hu Zongxian followed secretly and kept in touch with Zhang Fan at any time.

After visiting the coastal towns of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for half a month, Zhang Fan even returned to his hometown to have a look, where Zhang Fan saw the ancestors of his family this time. At this time, Jiangnan C City, like the Tang Dynasty, was also a large port. Zhang Fan also deliberately went to the original site of the commercial street to find the land master of this era, which was a commercial place in the Ming Dynasty, but he did not find the old slippery man.

The book demon almost wiped out the bookstores in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the space was full of all kinds of ancient books. Of course, Zhang Fan also collects many precious medicinal materials and patent medicines in the pharmacy. When I arrived in my hometown of China, I was really sorry for the title of Doctor Without Borders without collecting very high-quality Chinese patent medicines in this era.

The two will also sell unique goods purchased from Europe and the Caribbean to some large commercial firms, mainly some European handicrafts and industrial products, followed by fur, cotton fabrics and so on. These goods, especially handicrafts, are very popular in mainland China. Then the two bought a large number of Chinese silk tea and porcelain, which are well-known in Europe!

The book demon has roughly calculated that this trade, as soon as you go in and out, you have to earn at least 60,000 gold pounds! It's really a profitable business! No wonder those European ships come to China to do business even if they are thousands of miles away, bypassing the Cape of Good Hope and the Indian Ocean. Although these goods and profits are recorded in detail in the historical materials of the book demon, they are still surprised by the fact that they really got so much money!

After Hu Zongxian completely released the news that he might get Wang Zhicai's treasure, he arrived at the nearest sea port, rented a small flat-bottomed sea boat, and went to the ambush site he had agreed with Hu Zongxian. This kind of flat boat, called sand boat, square head and square tail, commonly known as 'square', is suitable for sailing on shallow waterways and sandy beaches. Because of its shallow water, it is fast, not afraid of stranding, and not affected by the tide. It is especially suitable for sailing offshore.

"This unique Chinese flat-bottomed sea boat is good, isn't it? It is much more powerful than the Spanish warship at the sea. There are islands everywhere in the Caribbean Sea, which is very useful!" Zhang Fan said to Xuanyuanxing.

"That's about you smart people, I don't quite understand..." Xuanyuan Xing shook his head and said he was not interested in it.

Zhang Fan patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Focus is a good thing, but if you can be a little distracted, maybe there will be many benefits for what you focus on."

Xuanyuanxing thought for a moment and still said, "I was very distracted in the past, but nothing happened. Now if I am distracted, the arrows I shoot will no longer be accurate. Do you really want me to be distracted?

Zhang Fan was speechy for a moment and shook his head, "You will understand in the future..."

............

The false treasure land arranged by Hu Zongxian is a desolate bay on the coast of Fujian. The mouth of the bay is small and has a big belly. It can accommodate many boats through a narrow waterway. And in the bay, there are many hidden coves that can ambush warships. The so-called treasure land is on the peninsula surrounding this bay.

In more than half a month when Zhang Fan wandered around, Hu Zongxian had already mobilized Fujian sailors and inland officers and soldiers to gather here and ambushed early. The first batch of pirates they ushered in was the Wang Zhi's direct fleet led by Wang Zhi's son Wang Hu. It is also the main force under Wang Zhi's jurisdiction over the pirates! The fleet led by Wang Wei was lured by the handwritten letter by Wang Zhi, which was modified by the golden pen master. Wang Hu was told in the letter to protect this wealth.

Wang Yu's fleet has been wandering along the coast of Fujian for more than half a month because there was no detailed treasure map. After Zhang Fan's flat-bottomed sea boat arrived, countless pirate ships that followed Zhang Fan's sea boat also entered the bay closely monitored by the Ming army. As soon as Zhang Fan and Xuanyuan Xing entered the bay, they drilled into the peninsula woods.

Along the way, Hu Zongxian has already sent people to mark the road, pointing directly to a barren mountain pass on the peninsula. Such terrain is really like a treasure land. Because there is also a hidden cave in the mountain pass...
