In the past six months, under the endless tossing and turning of the Yellow Turban Army, Donglai County has long been greatly injured, and now it is full of devastation and is in ruins.

This place was originally a poor and remote place, the population was not much before, but 2440,000, after the thieves were swept away, the loss of the whole county was huge, up to 30%, and now only 1780000 remained. Fortunately, the big families are the focus of the Yellow Turbans, and eight or nine out of ten have been wiped out, and the remaining one or two percent have long been missing. I sent an army to divide all the borderlands with the people, and soon the hearts of the people were all turned together, and the Tigers took deep root in Donglai, and they became fish and water with the local people, and no one could shake them.

The lack of grain is a big problem, and although 50,000 stone of grain came from the Beihai Sea, it is still far from enough. Supplying more than 20,000 people to the LTTE is enough, but what about 100,000 people?

It's a pity that the troubled times have begun. Where in the world is there no shortage of food? Maybe Jing and Xu Erzhou still have surplus grain, but I have no friendship with others, and they are not living Lei Feng, so it's strange that they are willing to borrow grain? Helpless, there is no other way but to save yourself by production!

Since then, in the territory of Donglai, up and down, men, women and children have all mobilized.

Birds and beasts were immediately killed, even the rats of the field; Wild herbs, grass roots, and even tree bark are not spared. Of course, the most important food source is still to rely on the ocean, Donglai is surrounded by water on three sides, the geographical location is unique, if it is really used properly, where will you be hungry?

In the west of the country, there is a natural excellent harbor, no heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, called Jiaozhou Bay.

On the edge of a makeshift wooden pier, I handed the clairvoyant to Gong Yanyan, rubbed my temples a few times with both hands, pointed to the vast sea, and said, "Now, we have to learn to deal with 'this fickle neighbor' well." Otherwise, you won't be able to survive this green and yellow season! ”

Gong Yiyan put down the binoculars, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of tenderness, she looked at the pair of panda eyes I boiled out distressedly, nodded and replied, "You are right." In the past, thousands of us lived on isolated islands, and everything was taken from the sea, which was still much better than the people living on land. ”

……

As he spoke, the sea in the distance, the fully loaded ships were getting closer and closer, and small white dots began to appear from the distant sky. First a few, then dozens, and gradually more and more gathered... Finally, thousands of sails are racing, a lively and busy scene.

Countless boats are heading towards the shore, and the people on the boat shout the labor horn of "hey, hey, hey", rowing the oars together, and everyone chases after me, stirring up the originally very calm sea into blue waves, and rushing to the shore one after another.

The improvised dock crunched under the squeeze of the waves, and the wooden stakes driven deep into the water were already swaying gently, as if they would be crushed at any moment.

A dozen fishing boats in front of the pier approached the pier. Later, the thick gangplanks were lowered from the dock, and the other end of the gangplanks hit the planks with a loud sound.

The people who had been waiting nearby to meet them did not need to be urged, they either picked up empty baskets or pushed wheelbarrows, and they were in groups of three or five to meet the returning boat.

Soon, the fresh fish loaded into the ship's hold were carried out from the baskets and quickly loaded onto the wheelbarrow by a pair of rough hands covered with thick calluses. In the blink of an eye, large baskets of fresh fish immediately filled the wheelbarrow, and then drove to their respective destinations.

At this moment, the noon sun was scorching everyone's faces, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans were coming out of the faces of the laborers. No one cared, and no one bothered to wipe it. On the contrary, the beads of sweat reflected the joy on the faces of these people!

Everyone looked at the sea fish jumping in front of them, all of them smiled, and they were more energetic to work.

And the fishing boats that went to the empty warehouse did not stop, they immediately set sail to the sea, and continued to go to the sea to work, work, and reap the joy...

The spectacular labor scene lifted my spirits, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone's enthusiasm for labor was beyond my expectations. At this pace, before the onset of winter, the food rations for more than 100,000 people will basically be gone.

Gong's face was also happy, and she withdrew her gaze from afar, and turned her head to look at me; It just so happened that my eyes were also on her, so the two of them smiled knowingly and said nothing more......

Woo-woo, suddenly, the shrill sound of a conch sounding the alarm.

The various fishing boats on the beach were suddenly in chaos.

After a while, a passage several feet wide was split into the dense fishing boats, and a Navy clipper immediately appeared in the waterway vacated by the ships, rushing towards the dock like an arrow from a string!

"Lord, something is wrong!" Jiang Qin didn't wait for the fast boat to be docked, then he jumped up to the pier, came to me, and saluted: "Two miles ahead, an unknown sea monster haunts and knocks over many fishing boats. Please make a hasty decision. ”

Hearing this, my heart sank, what is this sea monster sacred? If you bluff the fishermen into not daring to go into the sea to fish, the fun will be big, and if you don't get it right, it will mess up the good situation that I have created so hard!

"Did you see what it looked like?" I asked, frowning.

"No, the eyewitnesses only said that the sea monster was very large, it only showed its back, and it disappeared after overturning a few fishing boats." Jiang Qin thought for a moment and replied.

I held up my clairvoyance and looked west. The focal length of the lens closes the scene several miles away, and the situation that catches the eye is already out of control, and countless sailboats and sampans are huddled together in a mess without knowing the course, all of them have become headless flies.

The people on the boat were obviously frightened and out of proportion.

What the hell is it? Dare to spoil me and do good, the curiosity of an amateur explorer is revived, and I want to see it.

In later generations, limited by human and financial resources, the exploration of the sea has never been possible, which has always been a regrettable. Now that there are people and guns, it is just time to explore it, and by the way, correct it to calm people's hearts.

But no matter how you do it, you must evacuate the people who are fishing in advance.

"Gong Yi, you quickly lead people to guide the fishing boat to withdraw in an orderly manner!" After putting down the binoculars, I instructed Jiang Qindao.

"No!" Jiang Qin immediately took the order and left.

I, Gong Yan, and the Tiger Guards got on their horses one after another and rushed to the naval base in the southwest.

……

On the surface of the sea, countless seabirds fluttered on the water, left the water, and flew away. A few hundred meters away, a small fleet was approaching in this direction.

On the masts of the six ships of more than ten zhang, the linen sails coated with tung oil have already covered the sea breeze, and they have chopped through the waves all the way to the northwest.

Half an hour later, I finally came to the place where the incident occurred.

It's just that the sea has long since returned to calm. The fishing boats have withdrawn, and the sea monster that terrified everyone's hearts is nowhere to be seen.

I looked at the rippling surface of the sea, simulating the situation in my mind, trying to figure out if I could figure out any clues.

Countless brain cells were sacrificed, and there was still no clue.

I don't believe it, where can it hide in such a small shallow bay?

After following the advice of Gong Yiyan and others, our soldiers divided into two routes and launched a dragnet inspection in Jiaozhou Bay.

Before I knew it, another hour had passed. The wind and waves on the sea gradually rose, splashing countless white foam, and under the transmission of the sun, the light was chaotic and staggered, dazzling to the eye, adding a little more difficulty to search.

I'm in a bad mood.

The generals on the ship also gritted their teeth, everyone stared at the sea, and no one spoke.

After the division of troops, we had three ships on this road, and the flagship I sat on was commanded by Gong Yan; The boat on the left side is dominated by Tai Shi Ci and Cao Xing is the vice; The battleship on the right was handed over to Zhou Tai, supplemented by Jiang Qin. The three ships were several hundred meters apart and sailed side by side in a straight line in order to cover a wider sea area.

"Lord, there is a situation!" A loud cry like a wolf howling and a tiger's roar came from the top of a mast more than ten zhang high, and this unique roar with strong penetrating power could only be made by Zhou Cang.

Hearing his warning, the people on the warship all showed their weapons, and the tips of their blades pointed at the sea, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy.

Gong Yan and I hurried to the bow of the boat surrounded by Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others.

Suddenly, the sea in the distance churned violently, forming a huge whirlpool.

Bang! The sea exploded, and the waves hit the sky!

In the huge spray waves, a black shadow like a mountain burst out of the sea.

"Oh my God! The sea monster has appeared! Someone exclaimed, their voices trembling.

Everyone stared at the black shadow with wide eyes, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

The waves dissipated in all directions, and in the dull pupils of the people, the huge black shadow gradually became clear.

This is a rare sea beast, with a streamlined body that is dozens of feet long, and a light gray dividing line divides it into black and white. The upper body is black, and the lower jaw and abdomen are white. On this white skin, the folds are clumped and dense all the way from the head to the abdomen, which contrasts with the black back.

There is no doubt that it is a baleen whale, which is the same as the image on popular science TV.

Now that the super-monster is in sight, will it pounce and crush us to powder?!

At this time, the wind is strong and the ship is fast, and we are closer. Without a telescope, everyone can see this sea beast clearly! Everyone held their breath and looked ahead in horror!

There is such a large sea beast in the world, and its exposed head is about the size of the bow of our warship.

No wonder the people on the fishing boat were scared before!

The boat was getting closer and closer to it, less than 50 meters away. The whale is still playing in the water, maybe it doesn't see us, or maybe it doesn't care. Because whales generally do not have good eyesight, they can only see objects within a range of seventeen or eight meters.

Just when people were in shock, they only heard a loud "bang", and its sickle-shaped tail fin suddenly rose high and slammed into the sea, setting off waves all over the sky. In an instant, its streamlined and massive body suddenly leaped out of the water.

This time it's closer, and the earth-shattering visual impact is right in front of you!

The moment the giant beast jumped out of the sea, the vast world seemed to be filled with this majestic shore at once!

Under the power of this behemoth, how small human beings are!

But as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, it would be a remiss on me to allow fear to eat up the morale of our army.

You must know that cowardice before fighting is a taboo for soldiers!

I burst out laughing, and the laughter immediately drew everyone's attention.
