    "Since Cai Qian became king, his tribe has grown to the extreme and has threatened Taiwan's security."

    Gao Zhuang talked eloquently: "If it were just an ordinary pirate group, then the Qing court would only pay attention to it. However, Cai Qian dared to claim the throne and openly rebelled, which naturally exceeded the tolerance limit of the court. After hearing the news  , the Qing government immediately dispatched naval forces from Fujian and Zhejiang provinces to attack them."

    "In the meantime, after three or four years of fighting, both sides had their own victories and defeats. But after all, Cai Qian's men were just pirates. After fighting for a few years, when they saw that the Qing court was gaining momentum, they wanted to retreat, causing a split. Again  In addition, with the land of one county, it is impossible to compete with the officers and soldiers of two provinces, so Cai Qian's power became less and less, and eventually he was outnumbered."

    As he spoke, Gao Zhuang also hissed a little: "During the last siege, he couldn't escape due to water leakage from the bottom of the boat. He didn't want to surrender, so he set off a cannon to sink his boat, and he sank into the sea with his wife and small men.  And died. In this way, Cai Qian's pirate group was destroyed, but his remaining subordinates formed a new pirate force after some annexation. "

    "However, the new pirate forces have also become smarter and dare not raise any slogans against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that they saw the decline of the imperial power and became rampant again."

    Gao Zhuang shook his head and sighed softly: "Speaking of which, the main purpose of pirates in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was not necessarily for robbery, but for smuggling. Unfortunately, most of the smugglers at that time were local gentry, navy officers and soldiers.  If you see someone robbing business, you must kill them by force. He was not a pirate in the first place, but he was forced to become a pirate."

    "Seclusion and irrational distribution of interests will naturally lead to trouble." Wang Guan nodded in agreement, and then smiled: "You know so much about this matter, do you think Cai Qian might have left behind some treasure?"

    "almost."

    Gao Zhuang chuckled and admitted honestly: "When I was searching for information about the shipwreck, I overheard someone talking about it, so I took advantage of the situation and studied it carefully."

    "Treasure sunken ship, what treasure sunken ship?" Tao Dou asked in surprise.

    "Salvage the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea."

    At this time, Gao Zhuang explained casually: "The nature of our work is to salvage sunken ships from the bottom of the sea. The process is very boring and very hard"

    Perhaps, this is the reason why Gao Zhuang understood Tao Dou¡¯s hint but did not answer directly.  Even if Tao Dou wanted to work on the ship, but he couldn't bear the hardship and he couldn't give him special care, then he might as well not respond.  In order to avoid favoring one over another, a group of brothers under my command have objections.

    The reason why a group of brothers are willing to follow Gao Zhuang is not only because he is loyal and has not forgotten his brothers even after he became rich, but also because he is very fair and just, so everyone is naturally convinced and cohesive.  If you can't even distinguish basic rewards and punishments, people's hearts will naturally be scattered, and you won't be able to lead a good team.

    Tao Dou didn¡¯t quite understand this truth, but when he heard that Gaozhuang salvaged sunken ships, various news reports suddenly came to mind.  How many tons of gold and silver treasures were fished out from the sunken ship? How many precious cultural relics and porcelain were there in the sunken ship?  These real examples are the direct reasons that inspire many people to salvage sunken ships.

    In this regard, Tao Dou definitely couldn't resist this temptation. When he thought about it in his mind, he almost cried out.  If he hadn't been barely conscious, he would have knelt down and hugged Gao Zhuang's thick legs at this moment.

    "Cai Qian was wiped out, so there shouldn't be any treasures passed down."

    At the same time, Wang Guan said with a smile: "As for his sunken ship, we can look for it. The problem is that more than two hundred years have passed, and the sunken ship must have been buried by the sediment on the seabed, and it is not that easy to find."

    "I have no intention of looking for his sunken ship." Gao Zhuang shook his head and said, "I was just curious to understand the situation."

    "that¡­¡­"

    At this moment, Tao Dou suddenly said: "Actually, it may not be impossible to find his sunken ship"

    "What?"

    For a moment, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang were stunned, a little confused.

    "I mean, someone may know the whereabouts of Cai Qian's sunken ship."

    Tao Dou hesitated for a moment, then calmed down and said solemnly: "To be honest, our ancestors of the Tao family were once kidnapped and worked as pirates. It wasn't until the pirate group was destroyed that they absconded back  "

    In an instant, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang looked at each other with doubt in their eyes.  This is too false. Just when we were talking about the pirates, Tao Dou revealed this "secret story", which was really unbelievable.

    "This is real."

    Sensing the suspicion between the two of them, Tao Dou became a little anxious. Suddenly he remembered something and said quickly: "That dragon painting, you?You saw it too.  The painting is of the Sea Dragon King. According to my grandfather, it was specially painted by Cai Qian when he became king.  At that time, when my ancestor was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately escaped secretly and took the painting back with him.  "

    "I hid on the island for more than ten years, and waited until the situation was completely calm before getting together with my wife and having children. During this period, I also wanted to sell the painting for money, but considering that the painting violated a taboo, I never dared to make it public. Instead, it was passed down from generation to generation.  "Tao Dou vowed: "That is an ancestral relic. Otherwise, how could my sister be so nervous and even willing to spend money to redeem it."

    "real?"

    This sounds like it makes some sense.  After all, it's just a lie, and it can't be so reasonable.  For a moment, the two of them believed it.

    "Of course." Tao Dou pointed to the sky and swore: "If I am deceived in the slightest, I will be a pauper for the rest of my life."

    It can be heard that this oath must be "poisonous" enough for Tao Dou.  After all, he was very uneasy about the current situation and wanted to change this poor family situation.  However, if they want to change their predicament, some people work steadily until the day they succeed.  Others are daydreaming every day, hoping that pie will fall from the sky.

    There is no doubt that Tao Dou belongs to the latter.  Judging from the fact that he dared to eat Bawang Meal without money, this person's character is really not that good.  For this reason, no matter how poisonous Tao Dou's oath was, Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang were still skeptical and could not completely trust him.  This is human nature and understandable.

    After pondering for a moment, Wang Guan smiled and said: "Do you really know the location of the sunken ship? Then can you take us there? If the sunken ship is found and anything is salvaged, we can count your share."

    "Well¡­¡­"

    At the right time, Tao Dou laughed awkwardly and said hesitantly: "It's not that I know, but my dad I must have told my grandfather about such confidential things before he died."

    "oh."

    For a moment, Wang Guan was a little disappointed.  After working on it for a long time, it turned out that everything was just Tao Dou's conjecture and could not be taken seriously at all.  It's also because he has better self-control. If it were anyone else, he might just start scolding him.  It¡¯s understandable that you¡¯re crazy about money, but you can¡¯t just make up random stories.

    "It's absolutely true." Tao Dou said eagerly: "I remember when I was young, I often saw my grandfather studying pictures and asked him what he was doing. He said he was looking for treasures. If you don't believe it, you can ask my dad. He  I definitely know the details.¡±

    It sounds a bit reliable.

    ¡°We¡¯re almost done shopping.¡±

    Wang Guan pondered for a moment, turned around and said, "Why don't you go back?"

    "good."

    Gao Zhuang nodded in agreement, but also looked forward to it.

    "Really, I'm telling the truth" Thinking that the two of them didn't believe it, Tao Dou naturally stressed that he wanted to cut his heart out so that the two of them could see clearly.

    Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang smiled and did not say they did not believe it. Of course, they would not immediately express their belief.  It is impossible to simply listen to Tao Dou's one-sided words and believe such a thing to be true.  However, even if I don¡¯t believe it, I have some hope that it is true.  The reason why he didn't express his position was simply to hope that Tao Dou would come up with more evidence.

    Regarding this point, after Tao Dou defended it for a few words, he suddenly understood: "Let's go back and ask my dad. He must know some inside stories"

    While talking, Tao Dou led the way.  Soon after, he returned to the Tao family.  As soon as he walked into the hall, Tao Dou shouted bluntly: "Dad, do you know Cai Qian, the pirate king?"

    "What?"

    Tao Tao was stunned and said inexplicably: "Why do you ask this?"

    "You know, or you don't know?" Tao Dou urged, "Give me an accurate number."

    "I definitely know."

    Tao Tao replied casually. As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Dou turned around excitedly and said, "Brother Gao, look, I told you, he must know something about the situation."

    "What's the situation?" At the same time, Tao Tao was also a little confused: "What's the situation with Cai Qian? Then I do know something"

    "It's good to know." Tao Dou asked hurriedly: "Then where is his sunken ship?"

    "What shipwreck?"

    Instantly, Tao Tao was stunned: "Where did the sunken ship come from?"

    "It's Cai Qian's sunken ship."

    Tao Dou frowned and said: "Dad, please don't hide it. In the past, we didn't have the ability. Even if we knew the specific location, we couldn't salvage it. But it's different now. Brother Gao specializes in this. He is a kind man, as long as we  Tell him the news and salvage the sunken ship. Whatever benefits we get, he will definitely not forget us"

    ¡°?Salvaging a sunken ship?  "

    At this time, Tao Tao was very surprised, then shook his head and said: "Douzi, I don't know where you heard the news, and you are crazy to want to get rich. You actually think that I know the location of the shipwreck. But I can tell you clearly now,  I've never heard of a shipwreck at all."

    "How could it be unclear?"

    At the right time, Tao Dou became a little anxious and simply shouted: "My grandfather told me when I was young. Our ancestors were pirates and were defeated by the imperial court. Only then did they become good citizens. But before recruiting people, because of fear,  The officers and soldiers were extorting money, so they buried gold, silver and other treasures"

    "Your grandfather really said that?" Tao Tao said in shock: "Why have I never heard of it?"

    ¡°That¡¯s making up a story.¡±

    At this moment, Tao Li walked out and sneered: "I was also there at that time. He pestered grandpa to go out to play, but grandpa didn't want to move, so he simply made up a story to distract him. Unexpectedly, he actually  I really believe it" To be continued.  )
