From the Island Owner to the King

Most of them are stationed in the mainland to protect the safety of the mainland, and they are sent out to perform some special tasks, such as escorting the treasure fleet and fighting pirates. Only a few! ! Escorted by two Spanish galleons, this must be a large fleet of treasures in history, I am looking forward to it, this is a very large treasure. "

"More than two Spanish galleons were sunk at once, a union of pirates of the Caribbean, or British ships."

"There was a sea battle that was submerged in history here."

"I'm looking forward to it. I really want to know how much this treasure is. This is a shipwreck cemetery."

"Definitely/pig/pig/island/novel www.huuo. There are countless, you must know that this is the Spanish treasure fleet, a famous gold fleet in history, with 4000~5000 carriages, gold jewelry, and more than 2 ships. The treasure of the treasure fleet escorted by the Spanish galleons is certainly not a small number, even if only a part, it is a huge treasure."

"I'm very curious about the expressions of the people in the sea when they see this picture. Do you regret it? The people of the sea have regretted it once. They sold Tortuga Island for two billion dollars, and they found it in the waters of Tortuga Island. The Belis Oilfield was sold to the Northwest Province for more than 10 billion yuan, and as a result, a huge treasure of sunken ships was discovered in the waters of the Northwest Province.”

"I thought I would find a shipwreck treasure, but I didn't expect to find a bunch of shipwreck treasures."

"Fortunately, it was discovered in the waters of the Northwest Province. Otherwise, there will be international lawsuits surrounding these sunken treasures. You know, there are still warships. Transporting treasures is a national act. Now, all the treasures belong to Chen Rui. . Spain can only watch and drool."

Chen Rui found two more sunken ships nearby, a Spanish galleon and a Clark cargo ship.

Leaving aside the Spanish galleon, one of the most legendary ships in history, the large Spanish galleon has 7 decks and a displacement of 2,000 tons. With a draft of 8 meters, it was the largest sea ship in the world for a long time.

The Clark ship is also one of the famous ship types in the Great Navigation Period. It was developed on the basis of the Kirk ship. It has never had a huge loading capacity. It plays the role of a transport ship, a cargo ship and a supply ship in the fleet. The increased speed made the circumnavigation of the world possible for the first time; it also made heavy artillery larger.

Chen Rui swims into the interior of the Spanish galleon. Also found more than 30 guns on the ship, this is an escort armed ship, with very little treasure, only a small amount of gold, silver, copper ingots, copper coins and some utensils were found.

on the Clark cargo ship. Got a big harvest.

As soon as the cargo compartment is opened,

Countless gold ingots cast into large blocks. Silver ingots, cast silver coins come into view.

It made countless viewers watching the live broadcast on TV, mobile phones and computers take a deep breath.

A very shocking scene.

It was the first time many people saw such a huge treasure.

This is a sailboat whose main task is to transport funds.

Chen Rui took a look.

In this cargo hold, there are more than ten tons of silver ingots, and tens of thousands of silver coins with the portrait of King Philip II of Spain. There are 3 to 4 tons of gold ingots, and more than 1 ton of other precious metals, worth the equivalent of 200 to 300 million US dollars.

A single ship carries so much gold, silver and precious metals.

And you know, Spain from 1520 onwards. In response to the increasing number of privateers and pirate attacks, the scattered transports were organized into two large and heavily armed fleets that sailed regularly. This was the treasure fleet, which continued until the end of the eighteenth century. Century, the Jumbo fleet sails regularly once a year, and there are many sailboats that carry money like this every year.

As you can imagine, South America is rich.

It is precisely because of the wealth of South America that Spain has become the richest country in Europe, and has also achieved the status of Spain's maritime hegemony.

Chen Rui left here and continued to search nearby.

Chen Rui once again found a sunken Clark sailboat.

A cargo hold of china was found in the cargo hold, which was from China.

Chen Rui was not at all surprised to see the porcelain from China in a cargo hold.

In fact, the Jumbo fleet consists of two, one is the Caribbean Jumbo fleet, which will not be mentioned for the time being, and the other is the Manila fleet, which travels between the Philippines and Acapulco on the west coast of Mexico, and is responsible for connecting Asia to the Philippines. The goods are sent to Mexico, after which the goods from Asia are sent to Veracruz, Mexico, and finally returned to Spain by the Caribbean Treasures fleet.

The Caribbean Treasures fleet transporting gold and silver treasures from South America and goods from Asia will be transported back to mainland Spain through two routes, one is from Havana north through the Bahamas, and the strait between today's Miami, across the Atlantic Ocean, back to mainland Spain .

Another route was along the coast of Cuba, past Santo Domingo, (Santo Domingo is now the sea) across the Atlantic, to the Spanish mainland.

Maybe the Clark sailboat didn't go through too much shock before sinking. When it sank to the bottom of the sea, it was buffered by water. In addition, the Spaniards used some soft things to wrap the porcelain, and the porcelain did not break much.

Chen Rui picked up a piece of porcelain and looked at it.

This porcelain is from the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming Dynasty, Jing and Dezhen blue-and-white porcelain was painted in several shades of turquoise blue, gray blue, and light blue, using the water-splitting technique. The landscapes, figures, flowers, fruits, etc., have obvious Western cultural colors in the decoration, which is a typical export porcelain.

If you have to subdivide into a category, these porcelains are sea fishing porcelain.

Although a piece of Hai Lao porcelain is not comparable to the price of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of official kiln porcelain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is not cheap, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of fine pieces.

There are 30,000 to 40,000 pieces of porcelain in the cabin, and the value is estimated to exceed 300 million US dollars.

Shipwrecks are constantly being discovered.

Various ships.

Galleons, Clarks, Caravels, Armed Merchant, Mediterranean and other small sailing ships.

There are the ships of the Spanish treasure fleet, but also the ships of English or Dutch privateers and pirates.

More than 32 sunken ships of various sizes were sunk on the seabed with a radius of more than ten square kilometers. One can imagine the intensity of this naval battle.

Among them, there are 11 ships with treasures.

In addition to the two Clark schooners previously found to transport funds and Chinese porcelain, there are nine wrecks with treasures. (To be continued...)
