Tang Zhangwei's troops had crossbows in their hands, and when the Norwegians did not come closer, they shot down these Norwegian Viking warriors. +Miscellaneous ∪ ∪ Worms+

The brave Viking warriors roared in rage, they threw their spears, and these men fought to the death against Tang Zhangwei's army.

Tang Zhangwei stood on a small hill temporarily occupied by the Tang troops and the Viking troops, watching the number of Norwegian troops gradually decrease, and said: "Our troops are still good in combat, and they can fight against the elite troops of the King of Norway." ”

Princess Suining put on a sheepskin jacket and said to Tang Zhangwei: "This is all thanks to Fei Xuechun, the arms supplier of the Tang Dynasty, this woman provided a good hand crossbow for our Tang army." Moreover, the lack of military spending this time was provided by this woman. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "This woman is protected by us and makes a fortune by relying on our power, so she is naturally grateful, and you don't have to be too grateful for her provision of military salaries." ”

After a fierce battle, King Holfag of Norway fled with a handful of his men.

In order to be able to escape for their lives, they ran directly to the Arctic Circle. The men were dressed in sealskin clothes, and the snowflakes were mixed with ice slag and smashed on their faces.

There are no trees in the Arctic Circle, only moss, and those lichens are a delicacy for musk oxen.

Arctic foxes and polar bears run across the snow and ice fields, and they keep their mouths long on chasing the arctic rabbits and seals that feed on the snowy fields.

Tang Zhangwei repelled the Viking forces of the Kingdom of Norway, and the Tang army occupied Norway proper. All the coast, as well as large settlements, were occupied by the Don army, including Oslo.

The progress of the Tang Army went smoothly, allowing the immigrants of the Tang Dynasty to have a new land where they could carry out their dreams.

The original immigrants from the Tang Dynasty soon filled every corner of Norway.

Although there is not much fertile land here, the timber harvesting industry is very developed, and with the ability to get food from the sea, they still have a good life.

It's just that here, it's too close to nature, and you can't find much of an artificially created environment.

King Holfag of Norway is in the Arctic Circle, and only on rare occasions does he dare to come out to breathe.

Most of the time, they can only make a living by killing arctic foxes, seals, and polar bears, and if they are lucky, they can also kill musk oxen.

At this time, these wandering Vikings not only had fur to make clothes, but also to eat a steak.

Fei Xuechun came to Norway with her staff, and she tailored a large amount of equipment for these Tang soldiers, from cold-resistant coats, to underwater diving bells in the Arctic Ocean, and special one-man submarines.

These latest equipment gave good support to the Datang army.

Tang Zhangwei is most satisfied with the ice-making equipment on the whaling ship.

Although the temperature in the Arctic Ocean is very low, when you get to the North Sea region, the whales caught will still be bad.

When the ice-making machine was put on the whaling ship, it was a huge help to these people.

In the North Sea and the Arctic Ocean, there were not only Viking warships, but also whaling ships from the Tang Dynasty.

These people used pike darts to catch whales in large numbers, and crossbow arrows to catch whales in large numbers.

In the North Sea, these whaling ships provided a large amount of meat, the taste of whale meat was very good, large pieces of whale meat were sent to the army of the Don Army, these whale jerky, and fresh whale meat provided the Tang Army with rich nutrition.

A huge whale can feed 100,000 people.

Those who lived in the inland areas, those ignorant laborers who had no knowledge, listened to the Tang army and the sailors who had returned from the sea, told them that they could feed 100,000 people for a meal, and each of them could also get a pound of meat, they thought it was unimaginable. In fact, a sperm whale, or blue whale, can reach up to three hundred tons and be about thirty-three meters long.

Such a whale weighed 300,000 catties. If it is eaten by 100,000 people, each person can get three catties, and when it is cooked, if you eat only meat, you can provide 200,000 to 300,000 people with a meal. However, many of the whales that are killed weigh only half the weight of these giant whales, so they can only feed 100,000 people.

Although Tang Zhangwei promoted arithmetic education throughout the Tang Dynasty, and from primary school to middle school, and then to Guozijian's university, and primary and secondary education were exempt from tuition, those Chinese people who took sheep herding as pleasure were not willing to learn more scientific and cultural knowledge, so they liked to open their mouths and spray blindly, and these garbage made jokes without knowing it.

When they got to the ocean and saw real whales, they knew how ridiculous they were.

Some of the people who like to raise the bar, when they have the opportunity to get rid of their ignorance, will be ashamed of their shameless and uninteresting remarks.

Fei Xuechun rushed to the Kingdom of Norway with her subordinates, and she realized that the hillbillies everywhere are hillbillies, and those ignorant guys always like to raise the bar with others.

The Eastern European Vikings who have seen the world can't talk to the ignorant Norse Vikings.

Tang Zhangwei found that the Vikings of Eastern Europe, those who had spent time in the Eastern Roman Empire, often showed a disdain for the hillbillies in the Kingdom of Norway.

Indeed, how can a hillbilly who can cook a meal for 100,000 to 200,000 people for a huge whale be friends with a Viking warrior who has already gotten rid of his ignorance?

In the icy wastes of the Arctic Circle, fleeing Vikings spotted a herd of walruses.

These walruses can have their tusks removed and used in place of ordinary tusks.

The tusks of these walruses can be used to make sculptures, and all sorts of small things, and these tusks and walrus meat are important resources.

The whaling ship under Tang Zhangwei also arrived at a walrus island in the Beijing area.

Here, there are a large number of walruses, and Fei Xuechun led his men to launch a siege on the walruses herd.

The male walrus, who weighed four tons and was five meters long, and the female walruses, who weighed one and a half tons and were two and a half meters long, were shot with crossbow arrows in batches by Fisher's commercial whaling ship and Tang Zhangwei's warship.

A large number of walruses were killed like rabbits. The soldiers of the Tang Army, jumping on the island of the walruses, hung the walruses with hooks, cut off their tusks and froze the meat of the walruses.

These walruses were transported to Norway or the northern ports belonging to the Tang Dynasty, where the walrus skins were cut, and then the walrus meat was sold as food to the Eastern European steppes and people all over Europe.

To preserve its freshness, many walrus meat is cooked and then air-dried.

When the walrus's ivory was given to Tang Zhangwei as a gift, Tang Zhangwei and Princess Suining smiled.

Tang Zhangwei said to Princess Suining: "A new industry has been born. ”
