Chapter 213: Sail to Rescue People

"Sail to save people?" Li Shimin was a little surprised.

After all, they were fishermen from the Ryukyu Kingdom, not the people of the Tang Dynasty.

It is the people of the Tang Dynasty, and whether it is cost-effective to drive such a merchant ship to the sea area of the melee also needs to be considered.

If the whale went berserk and smashed a hole in the newly built merchant ship, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Human life is greater than heaven, and Ryukyu is a small country of my domain! It's the right thing to do."

Qin Fan said.

"Besides, for this situation, I am sure that the risk of saving lives will be minimized."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder, "What should I do?"

In his opinion, it is risky to go to such a chaotic sea area.

As for minimizing risks, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

While instructing the sailors to drive the boat, Qin Fan explained, "It's very simple, if the whale is killed, the sea will be calm, and in this way, we don't have to take any risks."

"Kill? With what to kill? The other party is such a huge thing!"

It is no wonder that Li Shimin questioned, after all, those fishermen of the Ryukyu Kingdom failed to hunt whales by relying on the spears projected by whaling ships.

You can only put a few bloody mouths, drag them behind your back, consume the whale's physical strength, and wait for the other party to bleed to death.

It's impossible to kill such a giant in one blow head-on!

Hearing this, Qin Fan also spoke, "It would be much easier if those warships were here."

Indeed, while designing merchant ships, Qin Fan also designed some warships for escort merchant ships.

After all, such a merchant ship loaded with a large amount of cargo is tantamount to a sweet tooth in the eyes of pirates.

If there is no force and equipment to support it, let alone dozens of times the profit of the girder, it is a huge problem whether it can protect the capital!

However, although there was no weapon equipped with a battleship, Qin Fan still had a way.

And the sailors looked at each other.

Although Qin Fan's command was very infectious, they couldn't help but want to obey.

But the subconscious in their hearts told them that the identity of the person in front of them was unknown, and if they rashly listened to his command, they were afraid that they would cause some trouble if they followed this big ship.

Seeing that the sailors didn't dare to move, Qin Fan set his eyes on Li Shimin.

After all, such a huge ship, even if it was him, could not be driven by one person, and the crew and sailors needed to cooperate.

Seeing this, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and commanded the captain, "Listen to his command!"

The captain knew Li Shimin, and when he saw this, he gritted his teeth and ordered the sailors to move according to Qin Fan's command.

Soon, the anchor that had been thrown to the bottom of the sea was put away.

The sailors who assisted the power began to pedal, and the ship moved slowly.

At the same time, Qin Fan observed the speed of the ship and the direction of the wind, calculating the distance.

"Set sail!"

Qin Fan ordered.

The sails were raised, and the speed of the ship began to slowly increase.

Qin Fan quickly climbed up to the observation deck.

Only by standing on a high place can we better coordinate everything.

He held up his monoculars and looked into the distance.

The fishermen of the Ryukyu Kingdom have reorganized their formation after the chaos just now.

Although a whaling ship was missing, the sailors on board were mostly swept away by the chaotic currents.

But the remaining ships still attacked the whales in one fell swoop.

It's just that the opponent they chose this time is too strong.

A slight bleeding wound was a little insignificant in the massive body.

The whale's speed did not slow down in the slightest, but began to rampage left and right in the anger of the attack.

Towing a whaling ship on the sea.

At this time, the merchant ship was less than a kilometer away from the whaling ship, and the huge sea current also hindered the progress of the merchant ship.

"My lord, the Ten Thousand Years has entered

If we continue to move forward in this chaotic sea, I am afraid that there will be a risk of damage."

The captain gritted his teeth and yelled at Qin Fan on the lookout.

Yes, the ship is named Wannian, and it is named after Wannian County under Qin Fan's rule.

Another ship being built is named Chang'an.

It means Chang'an for ten thousand years, and has the same name as the two counties in Chang'an City.

Facing the captain's warning, Qin Fan was unhurried.

He stood in front of the lookout, and he had a better grasp of the situation.

He even saw sailors floating on the sea in the distance.

After the whaling ship was smashed, there were many planks floating on the water, and the lucky sailors relied on them to float and sink on the surface.

But now, it is much more important to hunt the whale for the source of the chaos than to rescue these sailors!

"I know, lower the sails and slow down into this area."

Qin Fan gave an order.

Hearing this, the captain breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Qin Fan ordered to slow down, otherwise, if the ship continued to run at such a high speed, I was afraid that it would collide with the crazy whale.

Then the fun will be great!

As the sails were lowered, the speed of the boat slowed down.

But even so, because of the commotion of the whales, the sea was still undulating, and the boat was swaying from side to side.

The eldest grandson Wuji and others on the boat were shaken to the ground, and they almost vomited while holding the mast.

Qin Fan was almost at the right time, and he also slid down the rope from the lookout.

Glancing at the seasick people, he said, "Take them into the cabin."

"After a while, the *** before the whale dies will inevitably make bigger waves."

"If you can't stand on your feet at that time, you're really going to be thrown out of the boat!"

The captain hurriedly ordered someone to escort Li Shimin and others into the cabin.

You must know that these are all nobles, but if one of them is in distress, it will be an earthquake for Datang.

Thinking of this, the captain couldn't help but blame himself.

How obsessed he was, so he agreed with Qin Fan's words, and actually brought these nobles here to adventure.

I should have persuaded His Majesty to let this lord change his mind!

The people in distress on the other side are the people of the Ryukyu Kingdom, not the people of the Tang Dynasty, so it doesn't matter what they do!

To anger such a behemoth, you should be prepared to face the wrath of the behemoth, and you will bear the consequences.

Why do you need my Datang to come and clean up the mess?

But the matter has come to this point, and now it can only come according to Qin Fan's instructions.

He looked at Qin Fan, hoping to get the other party's next instructions.

Qin Fan took a deep breath and asked, "Is there any weapons on the ship?"

Hearing this, the captain almost fell to the ground!

My lord!

You don't even know if the ship is armed, so you have the audacity to take us here on an adventure.

This heart is too big!

If he could turn back, the captain would have ordered the sailors to turn back without saying a word.

But there was the giant kun ahead, and in such a chaotic sea, even turning the bow of the ship was a luxury.

What's more, the adult in front of him must not allow it!
