Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Zhu Youxiao repeated the four sentences that Ma Laoliu had just said, and then stared at Huang Gouzi with burning eyes.

"Explain to me what these four sentences mean!"

Huang Gouzi raised his head suddenly when he heard this. He did not answer Zhu Youxiao's question, but stared at the old man with his eyes.

Suddenly, his face became extremely ferocious and he roared at the old man.

"Gan Leiliang, Ma Laoliu, you betrayed me!"

After saying that, he stood up and rushed to the side of the ship.

Before anyone could react, the yellow dog leaped into the surging river!

Zhu Youxiao was stunned...

Damn it!

what's the situation?

I just asked a few questions, but this guy actually jumped into the river?

He hurriedly shouted at Ma Laoliu.

"Stop the ship immediately!"

"Tell your men who can swim to bring the yellow dog back to me!"

"If he's alive, I want to see him in person. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"

Huang Gouzi’s reaction is too weird, we must find out why!

Ma Laoliu did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately crawled to call for help.

Soon, one craftsman after another jumped into the river and headed in the direction where Huang Gouzi disappeared.

Sun Kangwang also fired a flare into the sky, which attracted the attention of the Jinyiwei accompanying him on the shore. He then took out a small flag and gestured quickly a few times.

Just after I finished doing all this, I felt someone stuffed something in my hand. When I looked down, it was the "Quotations of Apocalypse" that Yutong regarded as a treasure.

Before I could react to what was happening, I heard someone next to me say.

"Get it for our family!"

"You son of a bitch, you dared to jump into the river without even asking how to write the word 鮥!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yutong jumping into the Yangtze River along with the craftsmen.

Zhu Youxiao had been staring at the river surface the whole time. When he saw Youtong jump in, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Why is this eunuch joining in the fun...

But then, the fish was seen swimming very fast in the icy river water like a white shark in the waves!

In just a blink of an eye, it rushed out more than ten meters away, then dived into the water and disappeared without a trace.

The Jinyiwei on the shore have stopped. Those who can swim have started swimming towards the fleet, while those who cannot swim have formed a human wall, filling both sides of the river.

Time passed minute by minute, and from time to time, craftsmen whose cramps were frozen by the river water were pulled back, but there was still no trace of the yellow dog.

Zhu Youxiao had already cursed all of the yellow dog's ancestors in his heart!

What an unfortunate thing!

Jump into your sister’s river!

It's just like I forced him to dance...

Chapter 121: Dog Emperor, just because you say so, I will believe it?

In the cold winter, the river water is icy cold.

Ma Laoliu arranged for someone to prepare a large pot of ginger soup and set it aside. After one stick of incense, all the craftsmen who had gone into the water swam back one after another.

They were no longer in good condition to go into the water again, so after drinking ginger soup they returned to the cabin to rest.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were fixed on the river surface.

But on the river, apart from the rolling waves, there was no one to be seen.

oyster...

He shook his head weakly and turned to walk towards the cabin.

It’s so cold today, the boy must have been drowned, right?

What a pity, such a good seedling!

"puff!"

But at this moment, a strange sound of water was heard from under the side of the ship.

Sun Kangwang stuck his head out to take a look, then immediately shouted loudly.

"Someone come quickly, get them up!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao quickly turned around and ran over.

I saw Youtong holding the yellow dog and trying hard to float to the surface by sticking to the side of the boat.

The yellow dog had his eyes closed tightly, looking as if he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Upon seeing this, the craftsmen immediately brought a rope ladder and threw it down. When Youtong returned to the deck, he was already exhausted, his face was blue and purple, and his lips had almost turned black.

He used all his strength to throw the yellow dog in front of Zhu Youxiao and smiled.

"Your Majesty, I have brought the person back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell down headfirst.

"Quick, do your best to treat him!"

Zhu Youxiao's heart tightened and he shouted at Sun Kangwang.

Everyone was very clear about their situation. Youtong must have fainted due to the cold entering his body and exhaustion. Several Jinyiwei carried him back to the cabin and handed him over to Liu Yue and others.

As for the yellow dog, its life or death was unknown after it was fished out, so it must have drowned.

Several Jinyiwei came forward, hung him upside down on the mast, and hit him in the abdomen again and again with their fists as big as sandbags.

"puff!"

After a few punches, Huang Gouzi's body suddenly curled up, a stream of water spurted out from his mouth and nose, and then he began to cough violently.

"Cough cough!"

Zhu Youxiao took a few steps forward, stared at his eyes which had just opened and asked.

"woke up?"

“Ha, ha, hahahaha!”

However, Huang Gouzi smiled sadly.

"What's wrong!"

"Do you, the Zhu family, really want to completely cut off the inheritance of the treasure ship?"

"presumptuous!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Kangwang yelled angrily and then raised his hand to slap him in the face.

"Wait!"

Zhu Youxiao stopped him and stared at Huang Gouzi.

"Little guy, I don't know what you've been through."

"But the reason I came to you is not to destroy your heritage, but to make the treasure ship reappear in the world!"

"Tell me, what do those four sentences mean?"

But the yellow dog sneered with a mocking look on his face.

"Hahahaha, ugh!"

"Ever since Liu Daxia burned the blueprints of the treasure ship, every few years someone from the court would come to each shipyard to look for the descendants of the craftsmen who built the treasure ship. If they found one, they would kill him."

"Dog Emperor, do you think I will believe you?"

"Be bold!"

This time, Sun Kangwang kicked directly, and the yellow dog hanging on the mast flew out immediately. The next second, it swung back like a swing.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to stop Sun Kangwang from kicking a second time, and looked at the yellow dog in the air with a puzzled look on his face.

From the maritime ban in the Zhengde reign to the opening of the country in the Longqing reign, for a period of more than 100 years, the Ming Dynasty did not allow people to go to sea privately.

Under such circumstances, is there anyone who still wants to cut off the inheritance of the treasure ship?

This made him frown: "I have never heard of these things you are talking about!"

"Tell me what's going on!"

"Also, when was the last time the court sent someone here?"

Huang Gouzi seemed a little surprised when he heard this: "You really don't know?"

Zhu Youxiao asked back: "You are already in my hands, do I still need to lie to you?"

Huang Gouzi stopped talking. His body, hung by a rope, kept swinging in the air.

It was not until a cup of tea had passed that he asked.

"Put me down first!"

After obtaining Zhu Youxiao's consent, Sun Kangwang drew out his Embroidered Spring Sword and cut the ropes hanging around Huang Gouzi's feet with one stroke.

"Boom!"

Huang Gouzi's body fell on the deck, but he didn't even make a groan.

He untied the remaining ropes on his body, stood up, and looked at Zhu Youxiao with burning eyes.

"In the eighth year of Tianshun, Liu Jiangtou's family at the Baochuan Factory was brutally exterminated!"

"In the 13th year of Chenghua, Wang Liushu's family from Longjiang Shipyard was burned to death overnight!"

"In the first year of the Tianqi reign, Qian Shiba, who had fled and become a beggar, was drowned in the river!"

"Now, even the emperor has come to visit us in person!"

"Do you dare to say that this will not cut off the inheritance of the treasure ship?"

Liu, Wang, Qian........

Zhu Youxiao's doubts deepened: "I don't know what you mean by the events during the Tianshun and Chenghua years."

"But six years ago, I did not give such an order!"

"So, now it's not just you who wants to know the truth, I want to know it too!"

"Tell me everything you know, and I will give you justice!"

Huang Gouzi kept staring at Zhu Youxiao's eyes, and he didn't notice any sign of him avoiding his gaze, so it didn't seem like he was lying.

He looked at the craftsmen around him who were shocked by the conversation between the two men, made up his mind, and told them everything he knew.

"Zhang Gu Liu Ma Xi Men cabin, Wang Pao Qian Liang Huang Guan window."

"If we talk about who is the strongest in the sea, the treasure ship must be the king of kings!"

"These four lines of poetry were passed down from our ancestors!"

"When the treasure ship was built, there were six craftsmen in charge of the overall work."

"They are Zhang Liutong, Liu Yiyuan, Ximen Qiuyang, Wang Daniu, Qian Laoqi, and Huangpizi. They are responsible for the keel, mast, cabin, gun, beam, and porthole respectively."

"After the eunuch Sanbao, there were rumors that the court was against going to sea, and someone burned all the records related to the voyage, including the drawings of the treasure ship."

"Zhang Liu and his companions could not bear to see the treasure ship's skills lost, so they wrote down everything they could remember and passed it down to their descendants."

"I thought that would be enough, but who knew......"

When he said this, Huang Gouzi's expression became extremely painful, and he raised his tone and growled.

"But who would have known that in the eighth year of Tianshun, the then Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works brought a few red-haired barbarians to find Liu Jiangtou of the Treasure Shipyard, and that very night, his entire family was wiped out!"
