Chapter 2346 A city submerged by ground fissures and tsunamis

"If supporting the rebels is for the sake of the overall situation, then there is another layer of private consideration of other factors!"

Just said very smoothly: "The chief leader of the rebels is McLee, and his position is the president and commander-in-chief of the Democratic Republic of Alai, but what is rarely known is that he is not Alai, but Jamaican."

"What?" Lei Huanxi asked in disbelief: "Jamaican?"

"Yes, Jamaican, and his real name is not McClure, but Mariap." Just said with great certainty:

"I learned it by chance. I met a Mariapa, now a close friend of McLee, Parks. Not only did I become good friends with him, but I also sent the wife and children he married in Alai abroad, so Parks was very grateful to me.

That time, he was responsible for contacting me, but on the way, he was attacked by the King's Army and Parks was seriously injured. When I found him with the soldiers, Parks was no longer able to do it. Before he died, he asked me to drive away everyone in the room and then told me a lot of things, including McLee's true identity.

He and McLee are both Jamaicans. They were hunted many years ago and had to run to Alay. Soon, the smart McLee integrated into Alay and turned himself into a complete Alay. After the turmoil in Alay, he organized a large number of his followers and finally established the Alay Democracy, and Parks was his confidant during this period."

Lei Huanxi didn't know what to say.

The leader of the rebels was actually a foreigner?

But the amazing news that Just brought him was far more than this: "The reason why Parks told me these secrets was to beg me to continue to take care of his wife and children abroad, and would not lose his financial resources because of his own death. For this reason, he was even willing to exchange a huge secret for it."

Secret? What kind of secret?

Just slowly said a few words:

“Port of Royal.”

"What?"

When Prime Minister Body and Mr. Clarence heard these words, they screamed at the same time.

However, this was the first time Lei Huanxi had heard of this name: "Port Royal? Where is that?"

"That was a city that disappeared." This time, Prime Minister Body said: "And the time of disappearance is not particularly far away from us. Your Majesty, in the 16th century, South America was the world of Spain. Colonial robbers plundered a large amount of gold, silver and treasures and transported them back to Europe in ships. In terms of invasion of the Western Hemisphere, Britain was one step behind Spain.

In addition to controlling northern North America, it was difficult for the British to get involved in Spain's sphere of influence. The psychologically unbalanced Britain was jealous of the huge wealth that Spain had robbed, so it encouraged pirates to attack Spanish ships and provide shelter. At the same time, some European outlaws became pirates and robbed passing merchant ships along the coast of the Americas.

The pirates were particularly interested in robbing the Spanish Royal gold ships.

At that time, the British government specially set up the Royal Port on the southeast coast of Jamaica, the British colony, as the base of pirates, and Royal Port became the largest concentration of the historical pirate fleet.

The public identity of Port Royal is the capital of Jamaica, and the informal identity is the capital of pirates. The gold, silver and jewelry robbed by the pirates are piled up here. Sometimes it is not the turn of ships of gold that are unloaded, so they can only be parked in the port to wait.

It is the most evil city in human history and the most depraved city.

Although only tens of thousands of people live here, please note that about 6,500 of them were pirates, the luxury of the city far exceeded that of London and Paris at that time.

There is no industry in the entire city, but you can enjoy the most luxurious material life.

There are all kinds of Chinese silk, Indonesian spices, and British industrial products. Of course, the most are gold bars, silver bars and jewelry.

On June 7, 1692, the Port of Royal was still as lively as usual, with loud people in the taverns and crowded with stolen markets. Various ships frequently entered and exited the port. British ships loaded with industrial products were unloading goods at the docks, and transit ships on the American continent were repairing sails and adding water.

It is difficult for ordinary people to identify the pirate ships when they are mingled. But this city of sin is destined to be punished by God!”

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Body seems to be unable to continue talking. The story that Mr. Clarence helped him continue talking:

"At noon that day, the earth suddenly trembled, followed by a tight shaking.

Huge cracks appeared on the ground and buildings collapsed one after another. The land was undulating like waves, and hundreds of cracks appeared on the ground at the same time, opening and closing.

The sea water was like a pot, and the waves broke all the ships in the harbor.

People wearing gold and silver ran wildly under the conflict of houses, cracks in the ground, and tsunami, trying to find a place to shelter.

At 11:47, after the most violent vibration, two-thirds of the city were lost under the sea, and the remaining buildings on the land were washed away by the waves.

The Port of Royal disappeared into the sea from then on.

Until 1835, during the calm days, people could still clearly see the traces of the undersea city, and some shipwrecks and houses could be vaguely identified. At that time, the sinking city was 7 to 11 meters below sea level.

Then, the mud and garbage were covered with layers of sand and garbage, and the Port of Royal was destroyed in people's memory."

Lei Huanxi was stunned when he heard this.

This silent city is really not too far from the present time.

Earth crack?

Tsunami?

Did you just take away a city?

But Mr. Clarence has not finished speaking:

"After Jamaica's independence, the government has never given up looking for this sea burial city. In 1959, the Jamaican government and undersea archaeologist Robert Marx signed an excavation treaty.

The treaty stipulates that Marx is only responsible for excavation, and all the treasures dug out belong to the Jamaican government.

In the following time, Marx found some of the city's ruins and dug out millions of dollars worth of jewelry and a large number of daily necessities.

The most historically valuable one is a pocket watch, with the hand pointing at 11:47, thus confirming the time when the ancient city sinks.

The most interesting thing is a headless statue. Experts have researched that this is Guanyin believed in by the Chinese. Four years later, Marx left Jamaica on the grounds that he could no longer dig out treasures.

No one believed that Port Royale had only this little treasure, but no one could guess the real reason for Marx's departure.

In 1990, the A&M University of Texas, USA received an invitation from the Jamaican government to start the excavation of Port Royal again.

Experts from A&M University accurately found the main sinking place of Port Royale. They found that the treasure Marx dug out was only a very small part, and 99% of the treasures were still sunk in the sea.

Now the search for treasures in Port Royal is still going on, but the Jamaican government has not decided to salvage the items and gold and silver that have been found.

No one knows how many surprises this pirate capital buried in the sea can bring to humanity.”
