Section 755 Whale River Sea
After repairing in Fukagawa Port for a few days, replenishing physical strength, spirit, fresh water, and food.
A huge fleet, set sail again.
Many officers and nobles waved goodbye to their Korean ladies and stood on the deck, looking a little reluctant.
Chen Chan was very happy.
Previously, just sailing along the coast had already given him a first taste of the charm of the sea.
The rolling waves, the surging waves, the circling seabirds.
Everything is so fascinating.
"Noble ......" The leader of a guide sent by Han Wang Xuanzhun to lead the way, probably a Korean official with a relatively high status, with a smile on his face, leaned to Chen Chan's side, and said flatteringly: "Why don't you go to rest in the cabin?" It will take at least two days to go to the Whale River Sea! ”
"Two days?" Chen Chan smiled and shook his head: "One day is enough!" ”
The speed of the battleship under his feet was unprecedented.
When sailing at full speed, it can even be twice as fast as a building boat!
South Korea's Yidi, rowing a small sampan, can reach the so-called Whale River Sea in two days, and now, with such a powerful ship, Chen Qian feels that it should not take long to reach the so-called Whale River Sea.
However, the name of this whale Chuanhai made Chen Chan more curious.
"Why did you name that sea area the Whale River Sea? Is it because of the abundance of cetaceans? ”
Chen Chan is no stranger to whales.
Since last year, the Han family has tried whaling in the open sea around Qilu, hunted a few whales, and then dragged them back to the port for dismemberment and disposal.
Chen Chan heard about it. Last year, the officers of the Guardian Army and the Great Wall Garrison were given some new supplies - antifreeze cream made from whale fat.
It works great!
In North Korea, South Korea and Maban. These antifreeze creams are in short supply. Even more sought after than silk.
As for the nobles of Xianbei and Wuheng, for this kind of antifreeze cream with a particularly obvious effect, they directly offered to exchange it for a war horse.
It's a pity that the number of cetaceans off the coast of Naqilu is limited, and there are probably only a few hundred cruising in the offshore area, and the building boat hunted about 20 whales of suitable size throughout the year last year - if it is too big, the building boat can't be dragged and it is a waste to kill.
Even so. The benefits of whaling are still enormous.
A whale of about 1,000 koku can refine about 200 koku of oil.
Even if there is only this grease, it is enough for people to go crazy for these behemoths.
Chen Zhi knew that every time Lou Chuan's yamen handed over a stone of whale oil, the Son of Heaven would give Lou Chuan a reward of 5,000 yuan.
A whale is at least 100,000 yuan.
Not to mention, the skin, bones, and livers of these giant beasts are the Mo family and the Imperial Doctor's Department. It's as much as you want.
No worries about sales at all!
In other words, every whale, in Chen's eyes, is a treasure that moves.
For Chen Chan. Not to mention, these giant beasts are said to have the blood of the dragon king, and ordinary people can kill.
Such a valuable thing. is the heir of Taiyi, Chen Chan also dares to kill!
Not to mention. Chen Chan knows that he is the emperor's brother-in-law. He once issued an edict to the Lou Chuan Yamen and said: Whale, Taiyi gives me the blessings of the people, and the general Sima of Qing and other generals should hunt whales with all their might, and take in-depth killing as the top!
The emperor's brother-in-law, who was ordered by heaven, said that these giant beasts in the sea were a gift from Taiyi to Zhuxia and a blessing to reward the people of Zhuxia.
The more you kill, the happier the gods become.
If, in this whale river, there are enough whales to hunt.
Chen Qian thinks that this may be a huge amount of wealth!
The Korean official, when he saw Chen Chan asking, his whole face couldn't help but tremble with joy.
The Chinese nobleman in front of him is not ordinary.
The brother-in-law of today's Chinese Son of Heaven, a Chinese prince who was born a noble prince, is only one level higher than his own king in terms of status.
But considering that the other party is the brother-in-law of the Chinese Son of Heaven, in fact, even his own king has to kneel and lick him.
Such a nobleman, a god-like Chinese figure, actually spoke to me?
The man's face flushed with excitement.
"Returning to the nobles, this is indeed the case...... the man looked into the distance and said: "In this whale river, the number of whales in the sea is as large as the stars in the sky, and some even have bodies like islands......
"An island-like body?" Chen Chan shook his head in disbelief: "Isn't that Kunpeng?" ”
There is a fish in the north of the underworld, and its name is Kun......
The blessing of the Empress Dowager of Tuodong Palace and Zhang Wuhou, Zhuangzi's article, Chen Chan can recite it backwards.
But how could a divine beast like Kunpeng easily appear in front of mortals?
Chen Chan expressed great skepticism.
………………………………
However, Chen Chan soon found out that he was wrong.
Early the next morning, Chen Chan stood on the deck, stunned as he watched the giant beast emerging from the sea in the distance.
It's a super beast that's bigger than people think.
It's the size of a fleet's fortune ship!
No!
Its body is probably much larger than that of Fufune!
Its blue-gray back is faintly visible beneath the water's surface.
A huge column of water, spewed out of the seabed by it, surged into the air.
The officers and soldiers of the Han fleet were all frightened by this terrifying huge sea beast.
"Is this the Dragon King's mount?" Someone muttered, wanting to worship the beast.
"It should be Jiro Guguchi's mount!" There were also people who disagreed, and they were busy preparing incense and incense for this divine beast.
But, they soon found out that they were wrong.
Because this giant beast is not alone.
In the distance, under the surface of the sea, several huge shadows soon appeared.
There was even a monster that was much larger than this giant beast appeared from the bottom of the sea, spewing out huge jets of water.
Clearly, this is a family of behemoths, migrating.
Because in the group, there are two small monsters that are relatively small and follow the mother beast.
But even the size of these small sea beasts was several times larger than any land behemoth that the Han soldiers on the ship had seen in the past.
"Silence!" Chen Chan licked his lips, then stood in the middle of the deck, drew his sword, shouted, and scolded: "What kind of system is it in the army to be so flustered? ”
"These giant beasts, in the eyes of this monarch and marquis, should be cetaceans, not some dragon king mount, Erlang mount......" He stroked his sword and said, "And husband, even if it is the dragon king, Erlang's mount, will never dare to intrude on us!" ”
Chen Chan raised his sword and said loudly: "The imperial sword given by this Holy Son of Heaven, Taiyi blessed it, even if it is the Dragon King in person, he has to give this prince some face!" ”
Hearing Chen Chan say this, the non-commissioned officers on the ship, under the scolding of the officers, quieted down and went to do their own work.
After all, the sword bestowed by the Son of Heaven, theoretically speaking, does have the power to kill the gods who do not obey the king.
When Dayu controlled the water, the Mao God who was killed by Dayu, and even the righteous god, is there still less?
This is also the traditional thinking of China.
The gods are very strong and powerful.
But how can supernatural powers be worth the number of days?
If you are condemned to heaven, there is no prayer!
The holy king who is ordered by heaven and carries the mandate of heaven is even the combination of the emperor of heaven and the emperor of man in ancient mythology.
Any religion, demons and monsters, must kneel before the kings of the world and shout: Long live Your Majesty. (To be continued.) )
PS: Thank you, I'm so happy~ I'll be able to catch up with the front ones soon~
Let's work together and go and blow up their!
Note: The Sea of Whale River is the Sea of Japan today.
The whale depicted in this chapter is a blue whale.
