The self-proclaimed villain's black big man will definitely not be more than 20 years old, but judging from his appearance at the moment, he is definitely in his early 30s. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info has been adrift at sea for many years, and the wind and sun have not only tanned his skin black and shiny, but also made him very rough, and it is impossible to determine his age just by his appearance.

Zhu Di looked at the big black man with interest, and only after a moment did he speak: "Have you also seen the huge sea fish in Weihai Hou's mouth?" ”

The emperor didn't blame himself, and the big black man gradually calmed down, and the corner of his eye cautiously glanced at the emperor's expression, making sure that he was really not angry, and then cautiously replied: "The villain did see it on a voyage two years ago, and the fish looked really big from a distance, but the villain just glanced at it in a hurry, and the fish sank into the sea and disappeared, so the whole picture is not as the Hou Ye said, and the villain is not sure." ”

The big black man looks very honest on the outside, but from his words to excuse himself, it is not difficult to see that he is a flexible person, and under the pressure of the emperor, he can still excuse his recklessness just now.

Zhu Di smiled and looked at Tang Ming on the side, the suspicious look in his eyes made Tang Ming very hurt. Although there is an element of exaggeration in his words just now, it is not that he is completely nonsense, even if the entire earth's oceans are under the high technology of later generations, no individual or country can say that they fully understand the creatures in the ocean.

What's more, what is there to doubt about what he said is nothing more than a whale. Tang Ming was indignant in his heart, but unexpectedly, Zhu Di suddenly said again: "If this whale is really so magical, I want to take a look." ”

At this point, Zhu Di paused, his eyes swept over everyone present, and then said with a serious face: "Whoever can catch a whale, no matter whether it is alive or dead, no matter how big or small, as long as he can catch it, he will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, the bow of the ship was immediately silent, and everyone was stunned and did not believe what they had just heard. Tang Ming also looked incredible, Zhu Di in his eyes is an emperor who can't pick the door anymore, when has he ever seen him have such a loser side, in order to see the fish he has never seen, he actually has ten thousand taels of silver.

After a long time, someone confirmed that he was not afraid of death: "Is the emperor really rewarding 10,000 taels of silver?" ”

Zhu Di also seemed to enjoy the local tyrant's behavior at the moment, and he was a rare and generous loser, so he nodded arrogantly and said loudly again: "That's right, you all heard it right, no matter who it is, as long as you can catch a whale, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver." But I only give you five days, after which the order will be null and void. ”

Maybe at this time, Zhu Di thought that what he threw out under the arrogance just now was ten thousand taels of silver, which seemed to be a little distressed when his mind was sober, so he added a five-day deadline.

What does 10,000 taels of silver mean to the people of this entire fleet? From ordinary sailors to ordinary petty generals, this 10,000 taels of silver is almost an astronomical amount that they can't earn in their lifetime.

What does it mean that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, Zhu Di's order of the generous reward, the whole fleet immediately boiled, and no one was not moved. In less than half a day, more than 100 warships were all dispatched.

Each battleship was a collective, and they had reached a consensus that as long as they could catch a whale, the bounty of 10,000 taels of silver would be divided equally among the entire ship. Everyone knows that whales can't be caught or killed by one or two people alone, so the formation of a group is the preferred factor, and it is most appropriate to distinguish it by boat.

But there were still people who were not afraid of death, and a few of them sat on a small wooden boat and carried simple tools and acted alone in groups of three or five. The courage of these people is commendable, but in Tang Ming's view, this is tantamount to asking for their own death.

Not to mention whether you can catch a whale, it is estimated that the boat was overturned by the waves or other fish before you can find the whale. I don't know if I can save my life, is it worth it for this ten thousand taels of silver?

Tang Ming's doubts naturally couldn't get any answer, because at this moment, he couldn't see all the small ships that could act sporadically alone. Everyone is racing against time to get out of here, to accomplish a feat that will go down in history, and to fight for the heavenly digital reward regardless of their lives.

The sea area that was still very lively just now, under Zhu Di's whimsical order, there were only a few lonely treasure ships left in an instant. The other ships were all dispatched with Zhu Di's permission, and Tang Ming was still thinking about Zhu Di's safety at first, and persuaded him to leave half of the ships as escorts.

But Zhu Di didn't care about this, he had just destroyed the pirates, and in his opinion, this sea area was the safest, so he was not worried about his safety at the moment. Tang Ming saw that Zhu Di insisted on not listening to persuasion, so he followed him.

Anyway, there are still nearly ten treasure ships here, as long as they don't encounter forces like the group of pirates who were destroyed just now, there will be no problems at all.

Catching whales unprepared and with such backward tools sounds ridiculous and more like a fantasy myth. But humans can always work miracles, and maybe someone who is blind and has a dead mouse will run into it.

Although Tang Ming was not optimistic about this huge fishing activity that had never been seen before or since, he was still looking forward to someone who could really catch one with good luck. He had only seen whales on TV, and had never actually come into contact with them.

Zhu Di stood on the bow of the boat facing the sea breeze, looked at the fishing army that had disappeared from sight, laughed and said to Tang Ming: "Look at how my fishing army is, even if this whale is big, he will step past my mighty army." My Ming warriors are invincible, if I catch a whale, I want to put this fish in the port of Tianjin in Beiping, so that everyone in the world knows the strength of our Ming navy. ”

I didn't expect Zhu Di to spend so much effort and make such a big scene to catch whales not on a whim, but to come up with the most direct evidence to prove that the Ming navy is unmatched.

This whale has always been considered by everyone to be a sea monster in this day and age, and it is also one of the most terrifying monsters. In fact, Tang Ming had already seen some sea monsters drawn on the maps of some sea areas in Zheng He's hand-drawn sea charts, and at first he thought it was a hint that the sea area was dangerous.

Now it seems that these giant sea creatures often appear in those seas, and people do not understand these creatures, so they demonize or mythologize them. And it is not surprising that Zhu Di has such an idea. (To be continued.) )
