"Your Majesty, the fleet that sailed to Korea is back!"

Wang Yida, who was standing in front of Jiugang Water Village, staring into the distance and thinking, was pulled back by his subordinate's report.

"Really? Let them come over quickly!" Wang Yida was overjoyed.

Although Chen Zuyi is based in Old Port, he has more than a hundred warships under his name and has as many as ten thousand subordinates. His strength is enough to beat the navies of the surrounding small countries to death, and his scope of activities extends from Japan in the north to Japan in the south.

He dominates the Southern Ocean and goes westward to India and other places, all within his sphere of influence.

More than a year ago, Wang Yida sent a group of his confidants all the way north, leading more than 20 warships to plunder caravans and ships from Fusang, Goryeo and other places.

At that time, the Li Dynasty of Korea had just been established. As a country that was not conquered by the Ming Dynasty, Korea was one of the most loyal vassals of the Ming Dynasty. Even after the Qing Dynasty, it even took up the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

Because the roads in North Korea are mountainous and difficult to navigate, envoys from North Korea and the Ming Dynasty often passed through Penglai Port.

The straight-line distance between the two places is only a few hundred kilometers, and it only takes two or three days to make a round trip.

Therefore, the two places have always had frequent exchanges and exchanges between diplomatic missions, sometimes as many as several times a month.

But during this period, more than a dozen pirate warships were plundering and plundering near the Bohai Sea. Not only were the merchant ships suffering, but even the envoys were suffering miserably.

Let's fight. These pirates are guys who can fight even the regular navy head-on. They are even equipped with artillery, so they can't beat them even if they want to.

Run away, Goryeo's shipbuilding technology is backward, its ships are slow, and its ships are small. Even though they have learned a lot of Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding technology in recent years, they are still behind and there is no way to escape.

Several groups of envoys were sent in succession, not even one of them escaped to report the news, they were all captured in one fell swoop.

There are often various tributes, commodities, etc. on these ships, and a few plunders can yield a lot of rewards.

However, such frequent plundering also alarmed the Ming Dynasty navy, which sent out the navy to suppress the bandits. This pirate group remembered Wang Yida's instructions and did not conflict with the Ming Dynasty navy. They engaged in guerrilla tactics and robbed some ships.

After that, he boldly returned to Nanyang.

After coming and going, a year has passed. Twenty warships have gone, but only a dozen or so have returned.

But the results were also gratifying. The warehouses were already filled with all kinds of looted goods.

It has to be said that "Chen Zuyi", the pirate king, has been able to successfully dominate Nanyang for so many years. It is naturally reasonable. He released his subordinates for more than a year. If it had been anyone else, I am afraid he would have established himself as the king long ago.

, but not only did his subordinates come back, they also completed their tasks well.

These subordinates of his are pirates with dreams and beliefs. Their dream is to build a maritime empire. They will not rebel for a mere piece of property. They dream of one day becoming the "General of Zhenhai".

"of.

Wang Yida came to the cabin of a ship. After opening the cabin door, he saw the gold and silver treasures inside. He curled his lips and said: "Hey, scrap copper and iron. Let the brothers share these gold and silver treasures, etc."

One point is a reward for everyone’s hard work this year.”

What he wants is not these gold and silver mundane things.

For this era, these gold and silver treasures were the easiest to cash out, but in later generations they did not increase much in value.

When he got to another cabin and saw the things inside, Wang Yida was overjoyed.

Inside are some documents and personal belongings, as well as some books, utensils, etc.

When I opened these documents and saw that they were filled with credentials, I immediately felt even happier.

These things are of great historical value!

However, these things have historical value, but it is still impossible to sell them for sky-high prices.

If you really want to sell it for a sky-high price, you have to have something more valuable.

What is valuable?

"Have you captured those people?"

"He's caught, he's caught!"

After a while, the pirates kicked and drove dozens of prisoners in ragged clothes and smelly bodies to Wang Yida. They shivered when they looked at Wang Yida.

These days, they have been forced to work as coolies and boatmen on the ship, living a life inferior to humans and animals. Now that they have finally reached the shore, what they fear most is that they will be useless and killed.

Most of these people were envoys from Goryeo to the Ming Dynasty, and there were several high-ranking officials among them. However, the dark life these days had made them lose their energy, and they stood there like chickens.

Wang Yida stood at the door, stared into the cabin, and asked, "Does any of you know how to read?"

Almost everyone raised their hands.

After all, those who can become envoys are not ordinary people.

"Hmm..." Wang Yida nodded with satisfaction, "Is there anyone who is familiar with the Classics and History Collection?"

Many people raised their hands.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Yida was even more satisfied.

"Are there any craftsmen?"

Someone raised their hand.

"Has anyone seen the current King of Joseon?"

Several others raised their hands.

Wang Yida almost laughed happily.

Well, these people can achieve great things!

In 1397 AD, the last dynasty of the Korean peninsula, the "Li Dynasty", had just been established, and the North Korean Emperor Taizu had just ascended the throne. This period of history for North Korea is probably as significant as the unification of the Qin Dynasty in China.

It is a pity that Korea has been experiencing constant wars in the past dynasties, and the preservation of various histories is very poor. Yi Chenggui, who was the great ancestor of Joseon, did not even retain a real "Gozhen" (enshrined portrait). The only Goshen,

It was redrawn hundreds of years later.

With these literati and craftsmen, history is like a little girl who can really be dressed up by anyone.

What kind of history should be concocted? What kind of history is most important to Koreans and will make them spend money to buy it?

Wang Yida pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

In the back seat of the car, Wang Yida slowly opened his eyes.

The car had passed the port and drove directly into the "Sea Dragon Palace". Wang Yida found Wang Guanshan, who was the commander on the ship, and whispered something to him. Wang Guanshan raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

"Anything can happen in the past six hundred years, but if I can't find it here, I'll just go back and prepare a sunken ship." Wang Yida said.

"I'll send someone to investigate first." Wang Guanshan made a quick decision.

Without Gu Xiaobai, salvaging the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea will not be so easy, but the Dragon Palace on the Sea is still one of the best salvage ships in the world.

That night, countless spectators poured into the "Sea Dragon Palace". At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Sea Dragon Palace officially left the port and sailed towards the dark sea.
Chapter completed!
