The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Zhoushan Islands?

It is an excellent strategic frontier and transit base, with many islands and reefs, dotted and extending in all directions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

During the Jiajing and Longqing periods of the Ming Dynasty, out of the need to crack down on pirates and pirates, Zhoushan once gathered heavy troops, with a total strength of nearly 5,000 people.

However, with the transfer of overseas trade from the Ming Dynasty to Fujian and the decline of the Zhejiang pirates, the garrison in Zhoushan was also gradually withdrawn.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there were only two thousand households left, and there were more than 1,000 guards.

This was due to the financial difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, and the local government was unwilling to invest military force, nor did it want the island's residents to be coerced into pirate groups.

Therefore, on the pretext that they were hanging on the islands and prone to robbers, the residents of the 46 islands in the Zhoushan area were repatriated to the mainland.

As for now, the Zhoushan Islands have become a half-abandoned land of the Ming Dynasty and a paradise for pirates.

However, for Qin Haoming, it is a good opportunity to beat rabbits with grass.

It can not only train troops, but also occupy the Zhoushan Islands to make some preparations for other days.

instructed Lu Xinrong and Cao Shengxin to then issue an official document on the capture of the pirate, arrest the pirate Scar Six, and ask Zhoushanwei to cooperate.

The reason why he attaches so much importance to the Zhoushan Islands is not only because of the geographical location, but also because of the land there.

There is a lot of arable land in Zhoushan, and most of it is wasteland at this time, which can accommodate a lot of displaced people.

According to the statistics of the Apocalypse, Zhoushan has 180,000 mu of cultivated land, including 110,000 mu of paddy fields and more than 200,000 mu of tidal flats.

As the weather conditions have deteriorated in recent years, it is expected that the number of displaced people will increase in the future.

With wasteland, most of the displaced people do not have to do nothing all day and can farm to support themselves.

If there is a surplus of food, it can be stored for use in disaster years.

After this trouble, it was noon.

It's very easy to solve the lunch problem in the sea, and you can get all the fresh seafood in one net.

Qin Haoming, Cao Shengxin, and Lu Xinrong hid in the cabin and ate delicious food, all of which are eaten by the seaside.

One giant crab is not enough, then two, it is enough for Qin Haoming to eat.

With a crab clip in his mouth, he looked into the distance, and suddenly saw that not far away, there was a big black guy floating up with a column of water, and it seemed that he was not small.

Qin Haoming pointed to the whale, and said to Cao Shengxin with a little hatred of iron and steel: "You guys, you really don't know that you are in Baoshan?

Don't you know the truth that if you are poor, you will think about change, and change will make sense? What can you do with the meager salary of the imperial court every day?

Skinny skinny bones, like a flower child, how can they have the strength to kill the enemy?

It's pitiful to think about it, hurry up and gather the soldiers to hunt, alas! ”

"Qin Du is right, the last general is dull."

Cao Shengxin's face was flushed when he was said, and he hurriedly finished the salute and went out to make arrangements.

"Boyu will arrange whaling operations once a year in the future, but not too often."

Qin Haoming shook his head and stepped out of the cabin to see Cao Shengxin and them hunting.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is a continental country, ignoring the development and utilization of the ocean. Even at such a difficult point, he still sticks to the rules and doesn't know how to be flexible.

The sailors took off the crossbow coats of the eight oxen crossbows, and eight cold and shining crossbow arrows were exposed, each crossbow arrow was equipped with barbs, and the back was tied with a leather rope, which was made of shark skin, which was very strong.

Cao Shengxin found a few strong sailors, twisted the winch tightly, carried the mallet himself, and looked at the direction of the arrow cluster.

When the whale surfaced again, Cao Shengxin shouted, and the wooden hammer struck on the bracket, and with a sharp whistling sound, eight crossbow arrows flew out and were heavily nailed to the whale.

The whale immediately dived, and the sea water was instantly dyed red.

Qin Haoming watched as the eight ropes coiled on the deck were rapidly decreasing, and when he reached the end, he heard a squeaky wail from the big ship, and it sank down suddenly.

The mast that was attached to the rope suddenly broke off from the middle, and got stuck heavily on the anchor, and the big ship shook violently and began to sail against the wind, and it was not more than a tea time to go from standstill to full speed.

In everyone's eyes, the fortune boat was dragged to run on the sea.

The whale dives into the sea for a while, and then burrows out of the sea, jumps high and smashes on the water, splashing and making an amazing sound.

Qin Haoming laughed loudly, like a teenager, holding a javelin in his hand, and when the whale was ventilated, there was always a javelin accurately pierced on its head.

Other soldiers used bows and crossbows or muskets to shoot at the whales in the sea.

After about half an hour, the whale finally gradually stopped, surfaced motionless, and the sea was red.

The officers and men on board cheered and smiled. Tens of thousands of catties of fish and meat, how many people can have a full meal?

The sun sets in the west, the sea is steaming and the scenery is beautiful and changeable, and the island in the distance looms in the clouds and mist, which is beautiful.

Standing at the bow of the ship at such a moment, Qin Haoming was in a happy mood.

The whale is full of treasures and has important economic value, and its huge body provides people with a large amount of whale meat, whale oil and other products.

Whale meat accounts for about half of the whale's weight, is rich in protein, and has high nutritional value.

The soldiers used it as food, presumably in the future they could withstand the high-intensity training brought to them by Zhang Yun?

In addition, the liver of a whale often weighs 800 catties, and its content of A vitamins is equivalent to the content of 100 tons of high-quality cream or 5 million eggs.

This is also one of the best foods to replenish the nutrition of the soldiers.

Bluncy can be used to make candles and oil paints, and is also used in the steelmaking and tanning industries.

Because whale oil does not change its viscosity at high temperatures, it is used as a lubricant for some precision instruments.

In this way, should it be possible to promote the development of industry?

In addition, whale skin is soft in texture, with fluff on the surface, and the leather is patterned, which is suitable for making clothes or leather bags.

However, it is even more wonderful to use it as armor for soldiers.

It is cruel to hunt whales, but people are more important, and this is a problem that cannot be solved until later generations.

There is no way to be a for the time being, for Qin Haoming, the first thing is to let people live, and living well is what he has to consider now.

The Fu boat dragged the whale's huge body and slowly galloped to Dengzhou Port, and Cao Shengxin's boat was at the front, holding a soft rope marked with numbers in his hand.

He kept throwing the lead sinker into the sea, and then brought it up again, and reported the numbers one by one, and the ship's clerk marked them one by one on a huge chart.

And some topless sailors lay on the deck and wiped them attentively. If the deck is not carefully wiped clean, it can seriously affect the life of the boat.

Everything seems so harmonious, and it is full of vigorous and upward vitality.

The efficiency of large-scale production is terrifying, and the rich Bohai Bay provides Dengzhouwei with innumerable food.

In the few days waiting for Lu Xiangsheng's arrival, Qin Haoming commanded the Dengzhou Naval Division, used the warship as a fishing boat, and kept asking for food from Bohai Bay.

Mountains of big and small fish piled up all over the harbor, and the soldiers used saws, axes, and knives to cut the whales into small pieces, smeared them with salt, and put them in a cool place for him to eat.

Women and children picked out seafood such as crabs and lobsters as their food for the day.

Qin Du said that seafood should be eaten alive, and dead ones are easy to be poisoned.

Laughter and laughter filled the entire Dengzhou Wei, and no one would worry about food shortages in the future.
