Chapter 507: The Last Sincere Uncle Liu Kongzhao

This fear was too sudden.

It is different from the bones in the trench shipwreck.

Slow down a bit.

Zhang Yi saw it clearly.

Over there, it's a dried corpse.

The dried corpse did not decompose.

It sat on a Taishi chair and wore a four-clawed python robe.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many kinds of costumes for civil and military officials, such as court clothes, sacrificial clothes, official clothes, regular clothes, and bestow clothes, etc., and the python robe was a kind of clothing given by the emperor.

To wear a python robe, you must wear a jade belt.

The python robe is similar to the dragon gon suit worn by the emperor, which is not among the official clothes, but the clothes of the eunuchs and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty who were rewarded by the grace. Receiving such a gift is considered a great honor.

So speculated.

The person sitting on the Taishi's chair must have been an important figure in the court of the Ming Dynasty.

And.

He was a man who was greatly favored by the emperor.

But.

Why did he die at sea with such a piece of copper?

It's incomprehensible!

I don't know, is there anything here that can prove his identity. If we can know his identity, we may be able to unravel the mystery of those strange copper nuggets.

Come to think of it.

Zhang Yi immediately walked towards the dried corpse.

There was a table next to it, and there were even teacups on that table.

This teacup is very old.

Needless to say, it must be an antique from the Ming Dynasty.

Seemingly.

This shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, after sinking to the bottom of the sea, no one has ever entered this secret cabin.

Next to the table, there is a wooden cabinet with drawers.

Zhang Yi opened them one by one.

Afterwards.

In one of the drawers, a treasure letter was found.

This treasure letter.

It is made of Hetian white jade.

It's not huge, it's about the size of a fist.

Carefully open the treasure letter.

Zhang Yi saw that in this treasure letter, there was a seal.

This seal is carved from Tian Huangshi.

And.

The condition of this Huangshi is also excellent, and from the point of view of carving, it is absolutely first-class.

Obviously.

This man in a python robe is very particular about his own seal.

Since there is a seal, it can be determined that the identity of the dry corpse wearing a python robe can be determined.

Zhang Yi turned the seal upside down and looked at it.

Identify carefully.

It was found that this seal was engraved with a few words.

"Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao".

The sincerity of the Ming Dynasty, what is the specific status, Zhang Yi really doesn't know.

Because I haven't paid attention to this aspect of history before, the only person who knows about the maritime history of the Ming Dynasty is Zheng He, who went to the West seven times.

But.

This is not difficult for Zhang Yi.

After picking up this seal.

Zhang Yi directly used the identification ability.

Judging by the results of the identification.

Bo, in fact, is a position in the Ming Dynasty's feudal system.

The status of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty was far lower than that of military generals, and the greatest merit of civil officials could only be given the title of "Bo", and "Bo" was still under "Hou" and "Gong".

The earliest sincerity of the Bo.

In fact, it is the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen.

In the third year of Hongwu, Liu Bowen was appointed as a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion, and was awarded the title of "Founding Yiyun Shou Zhengwen Chenzi Shan Doctor on the Protector Army", and was awarded the title of Sincere Bo and 241 stones.

In fact, this is the least food among the counts.

Of course.

There are many reasons for this.

For example, Liu Bowen is not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, and for example, Liu Bowen did not follow Zhu Yuanzhang to revolt at the beginning, all of which affect his status in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

This sincerity is hereditary.

At this time, the Liu Kongzhao in front of Zhang Yi is the descendant of Liu Bowen.

The end of the Ming Dynasty.

He inherited Liu Bowen's title of Earl of Sincerity.

There are many generations between this Liu Kongzhao and his ancestor Liu Bowen.

He is the eleventh grandson of Liu Bowen.

Among Liu Bowen's descendants, this Liu Kongzhao is actually a very legendary figure.

After Emperor Chongzhen was martyred in Beijing.

Emperor Hongguang quickly established a small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty in Jinling.

Liu Kongzhao, the last sincere uncle, became one of the backbone forces of the Southern Ming court, and played a great role in arranging the river defense to prepare for the Qing army and cooperating with the anti-Qing hero Zhang Huangyan's water division.

It's a pity.

Emperor Hongguang's small court was infighting fiercely and had no cohesion.

As soon as the Qing army came, it collapsed.

After the failure of Jinling's resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Kongzhao went south to rely on Zhang Mingzhen, the hero of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and went north many times on the ships of the Navy Division to fight against the Qing army, and his son Liu Yongxi died heroically.

Afterward.

Liu Kongzhao went south again and defected to Emperor Longwu, King Zhu Yihai of Lu and other Southern Ming forces.

It's a pity that these forces are only the last part of the Ming Dynasty, and they are far from being the opponents of the Qing army, and the resistance to the Qing Dynasty has failed one after another. Liu Kongzhao saw that the general trend had gone, so he sailed into the sea.

It is recorded in the History of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Kongzhao "sailed without a trace, or lived in seclusion".

Now it seems.

The so-called seclusion.

In fact.

He died at sea.

But.

What exactly he did and what happened before and after he went to sea is unknown.

Unexpectedly.

Now that Zhang Yi is at sea, he sees him again.

It's just that the reappearance of Liu Kongzhao, the last sincere uncle, has brought more mysteries to Zhang Yi.

Liu Kongzhao sailed and did not know where to go, but in fact, he came to the sea with such a strange batch of "copper pieces". What is he doing this for?

What exactly do these "copper blocks" carry?

For the ancients, the sea, especially the high seas, which are very far away from the mainland, was actually a very terrifying place. Even in the Ming Dynasty, when navigation technology was developed, distant places like the high seas were still forbidden areas at sea.

No one wants to come to such a place unless they are well fed.

But Liu Kongzhao did it.

And.

It can be seen from the appearance of him sitting on the Taishi chair, as steady as Mount Tai.

When faced with the shipwreck, he did not have any fear.

He sat like this for hundreds of years.

The seal of sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, Zhang Yi stayed.

Because.

This is likely to involve the matter of the "Dragon Seal Ghost Seal". If there is a chance to leave here, Zhang Yi can use Liu Kongzhao as a breakthrough to investigate what he has done.

At present, this is the only clue to unravel the mystery of the "Dragon Seal Ghost Seal".

next to the cabinet.

There are also no other valuable things.

And when he looked back at the dried corpse, Zhang Yi noticed that there seemed to be something covered under the wide sleeves of the dried corpse's python robe.

It was held in its hand and rested flat on its lap.

It happened to be covered tightly by the wide sleeves of the python robe, and it was very well protected.

Estimate.

What it has in its hands is the key!

Come to think of it.

Zhang Yi immediately walked towards the dry corpse.

In fact, this corpse is not all, it has also shown some signs of corruption, especially the two legs hanging on the Taishi's chair, which are gone, and that part of the python robe has also melted away.

His upper body is still well preserved.
