Zhuangzi? Getaway》

Huge jets of water erupted abruptly from the sea, forming neon-lit jets of water. The huge guys who were making waves in the sea also stretched out their huge whale tails from time to time, and even jumped out of the sea level at one point, and then smashed the front half of the whale body on the sea, quickly forming a shock wave that expanded outward.

"It's all for me." Imperial Knight Karl? Feng? Sedin Horen was chewing the West Indian tobacco imported from the Inguili people by Dongning without any image, and at the same time yelled at Gong Tian, who was at the helm. "Coward, coward! If even the whales are scared, you might as well get back under your mother's skirt now. ”

Although Gong Tian couldn't understand Karl's Danish language, he knew that these Hongyi people must be talking dirty, and he slammed the rudder in his hand, and the new brig (brig) Poseidon slid out a beautiful white trajectory and glided straight past those graceful animals

There is ample evidence that ancient Eskimos and North American Indians used whaling to obtain large quantities of meat, fuel, and tools as early as around 100 AD. In Europe, systematic whaling began around the Bay of Biscay, Spain, in the late Middle Ages. By the early 16th century, Basque whalers were able to track whales and brave the waves to travel long distances to the coast of Newfoundland and Iceland. After entering the 17th century, the Dutch and the English formed a huge whaling fleet, of which the Netherlands alone had about 300 Dutch whaling ships and nearly 20,000 whaling sailors a year, and the whaling footprints reached as far as Greenland and the Davis Strait in Canada.

"Look at me!" A Portuguese sailor named Duke Bull commanded several small boats lowered from the Poseidon to quickly approach the group of whales (i.e., gray whales) in front of him, and at this time, these sea creatures who did not understand the cruelty of humans were still swimming slowly, and suddenly Duke Bull threw the whaling clother with the barb in his hand.

A wail that could not be heard by human ears came out, and the whales around them swam in a panic, only the bloody victims were desperately struggling, but the whaling rope was sturdy, and it could not dive to the surface of the sea, and what was even worse was that the little Irishman Pomeron, who was in command of another small boat, also stabbed the hunting fork in his hand hard.

The sea was churning like a boiling pot, and the wounded whale struggled desperately, but how could the boy scouts who obediently clung to the rope let go, and after tossing for a long time, staining the whole sea red, the poor whale finally slowly lost his strength.

At this time, the two small boats that played the role of the brave were dragged together, and soon brought the deadly whale to the Poseidon that had stopped. Several longer and thicker harpoons had been prepared on one side of the Poseidon, and at the sound of an order, several young sailors threw the harpoons down one after another, and the whale, which was already unable to move, only fluttered slightly and lost its life completely.

"Quick, pull the whale up." In view of the fact that there are many sharks in the East Asian sea, in order to ensure that the prey is not prepared for the marine killers who came to smell the smell of blood, Captain Karl ordered, and soon with the help of the boom, a huge Mac weighing 2~3 tons was hoisted onto the ship. "Today, I'll teach you how to refine whale oil on the spot."

In Europe, whale oil is an extremely important oil, which can not only be used for lighting and widely used in the tanning industry, but also used for steelmaking tempering and acting as a lubricant, and can be used as edible oil and make whale oil candles in the famous candlelight dinner.

The bloody scene soon appeared, and the huge whale was disemboweled. The white fat is removed directly and prepared for refining; Except for the best part of the bright red fish, which is ready to be eaten on the spot, the rest is salted and stored, and the whale skin, which has some fat, is carefully stored and used to make zuò leather in the future; Whalebones are also preserved and ready to be brought back and crushed into fine phosphate fertilizer; As for whale teeth and baleen, they can also be used to make zuò whips and tights; Only the entrails, which took a lot of effort to refine, were ordered by Captain Karl, who had no time to deal with them, to be thrown into the sea to feed the bloodthirsty sharks

After washing the deck with seawater and eating the whale meat, which was a little more tender than veal, the boys of the sailors were chattering excitedly, and Captain Karl, who had caught up with the whales in the distance, ordered: "In the afternoon, the ship will catch two more whales, and this time the alternates will be replaced to catch them."

A series of victories of the Ming and Zheng armies in Zhangzhou made the Kangxi Emperor in the Forbidden City extremely angry, as the most favorite "name" emperor of the previous dynasties, Kangxi could not leave a little stain on the history books, so he did not care about the great achievements of the Lang father and son for the Qing Dynasty, and on the same day after the defeat of Zushantou, he ordered to arrest Lang Tingxiang and enter Beijing to await trial and ordered the governor Yang Xi Zhishi. After sweeping the top administrative officials of Fujian out of the house together, Kangxi appointed Yao Qisheng, the former political envoy of Fujian, and Wu Xingzuo, the temporary representative of Lang and Yang, to reorganize the army to rescue Haicheng.

The whirlwind blowing in Beijing not only brought heavy pressure to Fujian, but also made the Guangdong side feel the chill to the bone. Shang Zhixin, who inherited the Prince of Pingnan, failed to cross Hainan to invade Qiongzhou, and turned to defeat the Wu army and rebel generals who invaded Gao, Lei and Lian, for which he once caused the Zhennan general Mang Yitu to fall into the lonely army of Guangxi and was questioned by the Qing court, and was in panic.

"Does the grandson of the prison country mean to let the old man send troops north to Leizhou to reinforce Zu Zeqing?" There is a way that the general is not subject to foreign military orders, Zheng Kezhang is not a human monarch and is far away in Dongning, but he stretched out a hand across the sea to Qiongzhou, if he changes others, even if he does not turn his face on the spot, he may not be able to accept his opinion, but Yang Xian is different, he has long recognized some of Zheng Kezang's talents.

"Lord Yang, in fact, Shisun doesn't know much about the affairs of western Guangdong, but he just wants Lord Yang to muddy the water, as for whether to directly send troops to Leizhou, or send troops to Yongcheng, it is up to Lord Yang to realize it." An envoy who came with the sailors' fleet repeated to Yang Xian what Zheng Kezhang had explained. "Wu Sangui reported to the king in Hengzhou to call the Zhou Emperor to change the Yuan Zhaowu, the king was furious, and the relationship between the domain and the Wu army was obviously separated, but no matter what, the current enemy is the Qing army, if it is broken by the Tartars, it will not be beneficial to the great cause of the domain."

Yang Xian nodded, and before he could say anything, he listened to the envoy continue: "It is one thing to ask Lord Yang to send troops, and the other is that the king surrounded the Qing army brigade in Haicheng, but there are many deficiencies in the soldiers' rations, and Qionghai is ripe three times a year, so the grandson asks Lord Yang to raise more military rations, and Qionghai raises more points, and Taiwan will have more vitality." ”

Zheng Kezang's words were very vague, but Yang Xian couldn't hear it, he frowned, he wanted to ask something but held back. Yang Xian knew that the other party was just a messenger, and he didn't know Zheng Kezang's original intention at all, since Zheng Kezhang was no longer optimistic about the trend of the battle, all he could do was cooperate.

"Food, sending troops, it's all right, but what about the ship?" Yang Xian touched the gray beard under his chin, and asked a question after thinking about it for a long time. "If you only rely on these boats brought by the original servant and these small boats of the Scout sailors, I am afraid that even if the servant prepares tens of thousands of stone military rations, it may not be able to be transported away in time."

"The prison country asks Lord Yang to immediately write to the king and transfer Zhu Tiangui's sailors from Nanao to Qiongzhou to serve his life."

"Divert the water division of South Australia?" Yang Xian repeated in shock. "This, who instigated the prison country!"

Don't blame Yang Xian for making a fuss, Nanao Island is located on the sea surface at the junction of Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan provinces, known as "Chaoshan Barrier, Fujian and Guangdong Throat", "China's Southeast Coastal Defense Gateway" said, from the Wanli period there is a deputy chief of coastal defense. In December of the third year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (January 1647), after Zhu Chenggong broke with Zheng Zhilong, his father of the Qing Dynasty, he moved to Nanao and used it as his last base. After that, in the frequent campaigns against the Qing Dynasty and preparing to recover Taiwan, which lasted more than ten years, Zhu Chenggong landed on Nanao Island many times, deployed combat matters, trained soldiers and horses, and drilled sailors, including two escorts to Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, to the island, and was stationed for more than four years, which was really a holy place in Zheng Jun's mind. Although Zhu Jin gave up Nanao Island because of Jinxia's abandonment of the defense before, since Zheng Jun returned to the mainland, there has always been an elite naval division stationed here, and Zheng Kezhang used his brains on this army.

"Please also ask Lord Yang to calm down," the envoy was not frightened by Yang Xian, but spoke eloquently. "The 28th Town of the Navy Division and other departments do have a heavy responsibility to hold Nanao and Tongshan (Dongshan Island, Zhangzhou), but at this moment, the Qing Army's Guangdong Naval Division is completely destroyed, and the Fujian Naval Division is contained on the Dinghai line, and the lifeblood of this domain is fighting in Haicheng, at this time, what is the reason why such a combat power is vacant?" Seeing that Yang Xian's face softened slightly, the envoy said further. "And the supervision of the country means to transfer out the civilian ships, cargo ships, and of course a small number of warships to escort it, and it will not shake its fundamentals."

"No," Yang Xian shook his head suddenly, he intuitively felt that Zheng Kezang's intention to mobilize the South Australian garrison was not as simple as the envoy said, so he asked. "No, if it's just a call for civilian ships and cargo ships, Yuan Zida can make a suggestion to the king on his own, why do you have to turn a corner and let the old man come forward." Yang Xian suddenly guessed something, and looked at the messenger dumbfounded. "What do you mean? Impossible, impossible, Zhu Tiangui is also an old minister of this domain. ”

"Boss Yang is thinking too much," the messenger chuckled. "The prison didn't say anything."

"Is that so?" Yang Xian fell into deep thought, and it took a long time to raise his head. "Well, the servant will bow down immediately, the so-called one thing does not bother the two masters, and you will be bothered to present this piece to the king for me."

"No!"
