Rewrite777 - Chapter 43 Pirate Treasure And Code
“Earl Hill, let’s go look.”
“Good.”
Several guards walked in front of the passage with a flashlight.
Chen Rui, Earl Hill and some people are behind.
Soon, the group went to the mouth of the passage.
“It’s a big treasure.”
Many people screamed.
Through the passage, it is a large cellar in front of everyone. The area is about fifty or sixty square meters, which is equivalent to the size of a room in a two-bedroom apartment.
In the corner of the cellar, there are more than a dozen large wooden boxes, some of which are scattered because of decay, and some gold and silver jewels are scattered next to them.
Earl Hill picked up an item from a pile of treasures scattered out of it, took out a white glove and slammed it a few times, revealing a shining silver light.
This is an ordinary silver plate with no pattern.
These silver plates, Chen Rui, saw much more on the “Lucky Star” shipwreck, which was the plate for the senior crew on board.
Earl Hill opened several wooden boxes. Most of the boxes were filled with Spanish gold and silver coins, as well as gold and silver, ingots, and some silverware and some jewelry.
“These items were owned by the Westerners in the early 17th century, during Spanish colonial America.” Earl Hill said, “This should be a pirate treasure.”
Chen Rui nodded and agreed with Hill Earl’s statement.
Due to its superior natural conditions and its geographical location, Tortuga Island is located in the hinterland of the Caribbean. Under the armed pressure of the Spaniards, the exiles and the sailors gradually organized. In the early 17th century, they became a pirate gang “Coast Brothers.” These “Coast Brothers” are famous for their illegal aggressors and pirates.
Tortuga Island thus became the famous pirate island during the great voyage.
It’s not surprising that the treasures of pirates are found on the island.
Chen Rui looked up at a turquoise ring with a phalanx in a box full of gems, then touched the cross-section of the phalanx and said, “This finger is cut off. Imagine, according to the pirates on Tortuga Island, a Spanish ship was robbed and all the people on board were killed. The crew with this turquoise ring was directly cut off and the finger was taken away. Then, the pirates put the treasure that was robbed and buried here.”
Chen Rui clicked.
Suddenly, I found a diary in a small box and a badge.
The diary is bound by Chinese paper.
In the 3rd to 13th centuries, parchment and papyrus were widely used in European countries, and have been gradually replaced by Chinese paper since the 14th century.
The above text is in Spanish, and Chen Rui does not understand.
The badge is a wolf head. It is said that in the Middle Ages, Spain and some parts of Italy like to use the wolf as a badge pattern, meaning heroic and tenacious.
Obviously, these are the items of a Westerner on a Spanish ship robbed by pirates, and the people are very high on status, and in the Spanish, they are born in aristocratic families.
Chen Rui put the logs and badges together.
I will take it back and study it carefully.
“Rui, come see, see what I found.” Earl Hill said excitedly.
This is a book page of parchment, only a dozen sheets of paper.
Although after the 14th century, European countries generally used Chinese paper for writing documents, sometimes they still use parchment to show solemnity.
For example, when writing important legal documents.
The text on the parchment is written in English.
Chen Rui took it up, turned it over and opened the page, reading above English: Freedom Flying Fish Code, one, everyone has equal voting rights for everything in daily life. Second, those who steal the property of their associates will be abandoned on the desert island. Third, it is strictly forbidden to gamble on board.
…, nine, people who are disabled in the battle can stay on the ship without working, lose 600 peso in the right hand in the battle, lose 500 pesos in the left hand and so on.
10. When the trophy is divided, the captain and the helmsman are divided into two parts. The gunner, the chef, the doctor, and the sailor can be divided into one and one-half part. The other staff members are divided into one and one-quarter, and the ordinary sailors each have one part share.
The Freedom Flying Fish is known in the history of pirates in the Caribbean.
When Chen Rui finished the Code of Freedom Flying Fish, a white old man said with amazement, “This is the piracy rule of the ‘Coast Brothers.’
Because of this piracy law established under strict discipline and equality, ‘Coast Brother ‘ In the mid-17th century, it developed into a powerful gang that controlled the entire Antilles.
Later, all the laws of the pirate guild, compiled by Morgan and Barcelo, were bound by more than a thousand pages of parchment. The Morgan Code is probably based on the unwritten piracy rules of the ‘Coast Brothers’.” Here, the white old man paused, and then said, “Although this is made up of more than a dozen parchment. The Freedom Flying Fish Code made of paper is very primitive and simple, but it is a document of the pirate code of conduct, constraints, regulations, etc., which is determined earlier in writing than the Morgan Code. It is very valuable.”
“When it comes to value, these dozens of boxes of treasures include the ‘Freedom Flying Fish Code’, at least 20 Million USD.” Someone interjected.
“Gold, silver, and gemstones are cast in accordance with international gold, silver, and gemstone prices.
Spanish gold and silver coins have very high collection value. The most expensive Spanish gold coin can be worth tens of thousands of dollars. The cheapest is worth a few hundred dollars.
Gold, silver and pearl jewelry also have a very high collection value. The most valuable is the very original pirate code.
The total valuation of this treasure should be Between 50 million and 60 million US dollars.” A knowledgeable expert estimated the price of this treasure.
“The purchase of island fees is only 77.81 million US dollars. The amount of this treasure is worth 50-60 Million USD. More than half of the island value, it’s too worthwhile.”
——-
Tortuga Island found pirate treasures, the treasure value is up to 50-60 Million US dollars, once again attracted the attention of people around the world.
However, the owner of the treasure, Chen Rui, once again became the focus of attention around the world.
—
Chen Rui ordered the escort to transport the treasures to a safe place for safekeeping.
Chen Rui intends to build an exhibition hall on the surface of the pirate treasure. Everything that comes out this time is exhibit at the exhibition hall.
The underground room will expanded dozens of times, become a huge underground space of more than 1,000 square meters, strengthen, and establish various protection measures, so that the Underground Room can effectively waterproof, fire, moisture, insects, keep temperature, etc.
