Chapter 386: Arriving at the Destination

On the flagship, dozens of strong sailors had some difficulty dragging the fishing nets. One can imagine how many fish were caught in this net. There was no need to command, and the guards who walked out of the cabin rushed to help.

There is great strength in numbers, and with the shouting of the shouts, the fishing nets are gradually dragged out of the sea. In addition to the most common barracuda, sea bass, yellow croaker. There are many types of seafood, such as large lobsters with long arms and crabs with teeth and claws. There are even many hairtail fish that are several meters long and have a flat body like a ribbon.

The variety is complete and the number is amazing!

If it weren't for the fact that the fish was exhausted by the storm, it would not have been able to be caught under normal circumstances. Even if they can catch it, most of the nets can't withstand it.

Some of the smaller barracuda jumped onto the deck.

Huazi kicked them one by one, and looked at Chao Gai happily: "Wow, there are so many fish!" Husband, you have to cook something delicious in the evening. ”

"Mmmm, there are roasted sweet potatoes, stuffed potatoes, and a seafood feast, we are not eating alone." Li Qingwan, Li Qingzhao stroked his stomach.

"Look at your cleverness?" Chao Gai squinted at Sister Liang and said expressionlessly: "There is a seafood feast, there are stuffy potatoes, but not sweet potatoes." ”

"Hmph, why can't there be sweet potatoes?" The ladies were dissatisfied, and looked at Chao Gai angrily, and almost said that you are not even willing to give us sweet potatoes to eat.

"After eating too much, farting and diarrhea, Yutai asked for leave, and when he came out, it changed the sky, and he screamed outside." Chao Gai looked at the soup chicken-like Yutai, shook his head and sighed. Let Han Shizhong and the others, who were dragging, secretly warn.

Sweet potatoes are good, but don't be greedy!

When several ladies heard this reason, they either rolled their eyes or pouted. Huazi moved his hands and feet against Chao Gai again, Li Qingwan, Li Qingzhao looked at Chao Gai viciously, as if asking why do you dislike us?

Hu Sanniang was simple and rude, and directly gritted her teeth and said "You wait for me". won the approval of the princess of the country, and her face was full of murder.

Someone's words are to provoke the anger of the public.

Chao Gai turned a blind eye, changed the subject, and said, "Look, the fish are on board"!

Sure enough, with the concerted efforts of more than 100 people, the nets full of fish were loaded on the boat and scattered. The fish covered the entire deck, piling up a thick layer, almost flush with the side of the ship, and you could clearly feel the hull sinking, but you can imagine how heavy it is, at least in tons.

Seafood, eat is a fresh!

The crowd on board cheered and sailors cleaned their nets or pounced on the fish. Some even rushed into the cabin and beckoned the people to come and help.

After a while, crowds of people poured out. Following the command of the sailors, the noble ones were put together, and the ordinary ones were piled up in a heap. Or send it to the room for processing, add dinner at night, and eat it with an open belly.

Not only the flagship reaped a bumper harvest, but more than 100 ships more or less harvested. Many of the ships had a deepened draft, and you could see the fish on the deck jumping and some falling into the sea, and the harvest was no less than that of the flagship.

The people on the boat worked in groups to clean up the catch.

Seafood, this is something that only rich people have money to eat, and now they want to eat as much as they want, and the simple people are all smiling and full of energy.

The laughter of the people, the cheers are intertwined!

After the baptism of this medium-sized storm, the fleet was unharmed, and as the assembly horn sounded, the ships began to return to the group, formed a cone formation, and continued sailing.

Although the North Sea (Bohai Sea) is only an inland sea, there are no super-large storms. However, due to the terrain, small and medium-sized storms are frequent, which is equally dangerous. According to official records, many merchant ships traveling to and from the Song Dynasty capsized and sank. Frightened by the Dengzhou Navy Division, the Weihaining Navy only dared to patrol the coastal waters.

For many years, I did not dare to go half a step into the sea.

And the mixed sea dragon Li Jun led the fleet, in addition to the lack of experience in the first voyage, almost capsized a few ships. I have traveled back and forth many times, encountered more storms, and have experience in coping with them. In general, small storms, lower the sails and use oars instead. Small, medium, medium and large storms, as long as the response is fast enough to respond to the storm, there will basically be no major losses.

On the contrary, the sea is the best treasure trove!

It's like after a storm, the amount of fish caught can't be eaten. With the supply open, the sailors and the people were left with their bellies stretched out, their mouths crooked, and they could not eat all the seafood before the next catch.

In addition to this, there are some that can be suitable for use as medicinal herbs. For example, sea cucumber, yellow croaker swim bladder is a great tonic, squid bone is the best material for gold medicine, turtle shells, seahorses and a variety of shellfish can be used in medicine and so on.

The divine doctor An Dao specially told Li Jun to collect as much as possible, and the more the better.

Under normal circumstances, the fleet sails in the sea, and there is basically no harvest except for releasing nets to catch fish and shrimp. However, when you encounter a storm or an island, you will inevitably have a huge harvest.

Needless to say, the storm comes with danger, and the harvest is also great.

When you come across an island or reef, you will anchor to collect kelp, abalone, shellfish, and so on in the shallow sea. They even hunt seabirds and gather wild vegetables on the island. If you're a little lucky, you can even come across a coconut tree and pick a few coconuts.

For this, the fleet will be delayed at sea for some time!

Unlike the first time when the route was cleared, the fleet route was fixed. The distance to Jeju Island is only 17,800 kilometers.

The speed of a sailboat can sail fifty kilometers in an hour. Take the waterway day and night. The speed remains the same at night, and at most there will be more detours due to the direction.

Therefore, the theoretical speed of the voyage is four days at most. However, there were delays such as storms or stops along the way, and the correction of the course was delayed.

From Jishui into the North Sea, the fleet sailed for more than six days before approaching its destination.

After so many days of adrift at sea, due to adequate preparation in advance, the ship was equipped with a military doctor. Most of the people have no abnormalities other than seasickness. Even if you have some colds and flu, you can get rid of them quickly after receiving treatment.

Pickled radish and spicy cabbage really worked, paired with the vegetables and wild vegetables brought in. None of them suffered from sepsis, which made Chao Gai very happy.

The people have seen the sea, are accustomed to the storm, and gradually understand the sea, and do not have the initial apprehension. After eating enough of all kinds of seafood, many people have ruddy faces, bulging faces, and have gained weight.

The most important thing is that people are looking forward to the upcoming arrival of Jeju Island.

In the past few days, Han Shizhong, Chen Hu, Yu Tai and others will follow the sailors to play together, learn to drive boats or catch fish and shrimp, and their skills will improve rapidly. The fishing skills I learned from the river back then are like sublimation.

Chao Gai, as he said, accompanies his wife to go to sea all day long. During the day, you can practice martial arts on the boat, enjoy the beautiful scenery, play with musical instruments, or cast nets to catch ......, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the scenery is beautiful. I am tired during the day, and I don't have time to rest at night, and I am always tossed.

It can be said that the schedule of a few days is full, but it is not boring. Only Chao Gai's eyebrows were full of emotion, and his wife was too fierce.

The good news is that several golden eagles have been continuously trained by Chen Hu and gradually adapted to the sea. It is believed that it will not be long before intelligence can be transmitted at sea.

Towards the end of early September, the fleet sailed at sea.

Today the weather was bright, there was no storm, and the people walked out of the cabin to breathe. From afar, I saw that a black line on the horizon was getting closer and closer.

"Hahaha, it's here, everyone, look, there's the destination ahead." The sailors on each ship climbed the mast to look around, laughing and reminding.

The people were excited when they heard this, some cheered, and some ran to tell each other.

As the hatches on both sides of the ship opened, the oars stretched out and swung. With the power of the sail belt, the speed soars and sprints forward at full speed.

"Wow, this island is so big!"

On the flagship, in a flower posture, Yelu Taribi couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the black line become clearer and wider, until there was no end in sight.

"Of course, the islands are equivalent to two Jeju, otherwise how can they be used as a base." Chao Gai walked over and put one hand on one person's shoulder.

Jeju Island is about 1,845 square kilometers, which is large enough to have a typical maritime climate and a superior environment. In later generations, there were more than 600,000 people. He planned to move 30,000 families to the island and settle around 150,000 people.

More than one million acres of land on the island have been reclaimed, a large area of mountains and forests has been developed and utilized, silkworm ...... have been raised with mulberry, and even fishing and breeding in the offshore sea, so as to thoroughly develop the island. It will be transformed into a logistics support base in Chaojiazhuang.

When the fleet approached the waters of Jeju Island, the giant island in the sea was completely revealed. Han Shizhong, Yutai and other generals, and the guards were all dumbfounded. What's more, the people who have migrated over are screaming incessantly.

"Look, that mountain is so tall."

"Ouch, it's really a giant island like a mainland."

Indeed, it is hundreds of times larger than the main island of Yangsan, like a continent. The vegetation on the island is lush and green, like an emerald dotted in the sea.

A towering mountain rises into the sky.

Chao Gai stood high and looked far away, looking at the islands that were getting closer and closer and the mountain peaks in full view, and felt that this was probably the famous Halla Mountain in later generations.

It just so happened that Li Jun didn't know when he came, and pointed to the mountain peak with a smile and explained: "Brother, that mountain is located in the middle of the island, and the indigenous people seem to be called Yingzhou Mountain, and there are many snakes, insects, tigers and leopards in the surrounding forests. It's just that Mr. Pu said that this mountain is a volcano, a bad one, and very dangerous. ”

As he spoke, Li Jun's face was somewhat sad.

As soon as Chao Gai heard about Yingzhou Mountain, he was sure that this was Halla Mountain, and when he saw the man's expression, he shook his head with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I have heard of this mountain on Tamna Island." Yingzhou Mountain, also known as Halla Mountain. It is located in the middle of Jeju Island. It is 1950 meters above sea level and runs east-west ......"

Hallasan Mountain is one of the three famous mountains in Korea in later generations. It is also the highest mountain in Korea and can be seen anywhere on Jeju Island. The mountain is different from different angles, and the mountain color changes with the seasons, making it a mysterious mountain.

Hallasan Mountain means "the mountain that can take down the Milky Way", and there are more than 360 small volcanoes formed by volcanic eruptions around the summit of the mountain, which is 500 meters in diameter due to volcanic eruptions. Although it is a little scary, it has not erupted since it erupted more than 100 years ago (1007 AD).

It is precisely because of this history that Chaogai knows this history, which is why he uses the island as a base. Although he could not disclose the situation to others, he could euphemistically say that the establishment of a separation zone, a series of measures that would help prevent disasters, etc.

When Li Jun, the mixed sea dragon, heard this, he felt that it made sense before he breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qingwan and Master Li looked at their men with admiration on their faces!

Erudite and talented, I know a lot!
