Chapter 221: There is a fish in the North Sea, and its name is Kun
A hundred years ago, the Chinese annexed the Fanhua tribe, and since then the Chinese have gained the ability to build ships and discovered large islands in the nearby waters, called the outer islands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to their geographical location, these islands are the Zhoushan Islands in the real world.
When it was first occupied, it did not attract the attention of the Chinese tribes, because it was far away from the mainland, the transportation was inconvenient, the land was not fertile enough, and the cost performance of reclamation was not high. The Chinese people, who have been involved in farming, have almost zero interest in these islands, and have only set up a few small temporary bases for fishing.
In the 22nd year of Youyu, in China, which had just suffered from drought, the locust plague came again, and the locusts that were overwhelming the whole earth ate everything that could be eaten into their stomachs, making it even worse.
Youyu went up and down for a bite of food, and his head turned white. At this moment, the fishermen of the outer islands caught a big fish like a hill, and the meat was as big as three or four hundred black dolphins!
As a result, China's vigorous whaling industry was born, and with the strong support of the Yu State official, countless fishermen went out to sea to hunt whales. Even the army sent troops and beast envoys to the sea to hunt whales.
In the 22nd year of Yu, more than 200 whales were hunted, and the blood shed by the whales stained the port blood-red. The Chinese who got whale meat had the most difficult year ever.
Since then, the Jixia School Palace has begun to conduct a comprehensive study of whales, whale bones can be made into lamp oil burning, whale skin can be made into fine leather, fish bones can replace ivory, ground into fine powder can also fertilize the field... Wait, the researchers of the Jixia School Palace found that this big sea fish is full of treasures.
And the ambition of the heavens is even greater, they catch whales in order to one day transform into whales and swim in the sea!
The combination of the two highest institutions of learning has led to the rapid development of the whaling industry, and the status of the outer islands has risen for decades.
In the 42nd year of Youyu, the outer island was renamed Kundao, with three shipyards responsible for shipbuilding and ship repair, and a concession salt farm of 1,000 acres as a salt source for salting fish. Gakmiya and Tendo set up a joint research institute on Kunjima to study whales and other fish.
Since then, China's whaling industry has entered a golden age and has developed rapidly.
...
Off the coast of Kundao, a medium-sized sailing ship more than 10 meters long is drifting on the blue sea.
It was a typical Chinese whaling ship with a crew of six, and it was filled with bronze spears with bloodletting grooves and tough ropes tied to the ends.
Oriha is the only woman on the ship, she is thin, but the other crew members obey her!
Because she's a natural falcon! She has mastered the ability to transform into a giant eagle!
In ancient times, the marine resources were very abundant, and there were undeveloped virgin lands everywhere, and the number of whales was far more than that of later generations, and this area was also an area where whales often frequented.
Feather quickly found a small whale in the sky, and she was in the sky, guiding her partners in the direction.
About half an hour later, they silently approached the unfortunate whale.
Zheyu has cooperated with them for many years, and he has long had a tacit understanding, and shouted happily in the sky: "Brothers,, get on!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she flew low into the air, swept past the fishing boat, and a strong swarthy man with a full beard grabbed her and threw a bronze spear into the sky.
Feather stretched out his claws and caught it firmly, his wings fluttered hard, and he flew high into the air, aiming at the whale on the surface of the sea, and dropped the spear.
The bronze spear, with great kinetic energy, plunged into the whale's back without hindrance, and blood splattered everywhere.
The rest of the boat, following the rhythm of Feather, kept throwing spears around the periphery, and the whale began to struggle violently, and its huge body seemed to have an earthquake.
The deputy captain of the ship immediately shouted: "Don't worry, continue to consume it!" Paddle north with all your might! ”
The whale raised its tail high and slapped it so the surface of the water that it was almost the last moment that the tail hit the deck of the ship.
The vice-captain of the ship, who had just escaped death, slapped the bow of the boat with excitement and shouted: "Good fellow! Joyfully! ”
The whale was bloody and fluttering in the sea. For a while, the river was overturned, and the waves continued to hit the fishing boats, and the small half of the boats were filled with seawater. The crew kept sending the sea back into the sea with large wooden spoons, and for the next long time, they had to follow the dying whales aimlessly at sea.
Oriyu is not in a hurry, fishing requires patience. Over the decades, the Chinese people have accumulated a lot of experience and lessons in whaling. As far as Zhi Yu knows, some whaling ships in China can track a whale for several days and nights in order to catch it, and even sail out for one or two hundred miles. She believes that the final victor must be herself, and this whale is already a piece of dead flesh in her eyes.
The crew members are all veterans, and they have long known about whaling, except for the person in charge of monitoring, everyone else took the opportunity to rest against the wall with half-squinted eyes.
After about twenty minutes, the whale seemed to be tired and stopped, and blood continued to flow down the blood groove of the spear.
"Can't let it rest, let it swim! Feather Chief, catch! ”
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
A new round of attacks began, and they brought with them more than fifty bronze spears, more than twenty of which were already pierced into the whale's body.
The desire to survive provokes the ferocity of the whale!
The whale was so ferocious that it was pricked by a spear and tossed around in the sea, and the whaling rope was so tight that it stirred the whaling ship like a sieve
The vice-captain immediately warned: "Don't be distracted! The big fish is going to fight hard, be careful to avoid its pounce! ”
But there were still people who didn't pay attention, and with a scream, a crew member was hit by a whale rope and tripped and fell into the sea.
Feather immediately swept low into the air, stretched out his claws and dragged the crew back to the boat, this crew member was really unlucky, just hit the ribs by the whale rope, and at this time there was no strength at all.
The rest of the crew on board didn't care about the injured people for the time being, and as long as they saw the opportunity, they would give the whale a blow!
Now it's like a fishing boat and a strong whale dancing in the middle of the sea.
After more than two hours of tossing, the whale was still full of energy, and after being so seriously injured, it still had the strength to flutter.
....
The difference of 100 will be made up immediately
