Datang Longya

Chapter 749 Whaling (1)

He doesn't really know what's going on with gout, he just knows what gout patients shouldn't eat.

The two of them walked all the way to the beach before Zhang Liang asked, "Duke Protector, is there something you want from me?"

Knowing that Li Jing was safe and sound, Zhang Liang remembered Leng Feng looking for him.

Leng Feng sat on the beach by the sea and asked Zhang Liang: "You have been out at sea for a long time. There are whales in the waters near Dengzhou, that is, the appearance of Kun."

Zhang Liang also sat down and drew a line on the sand: "This is the coastline."

After a distance, he drew another line and said: "Kuns usually don't get too close to the beach, and they can only be found after leaving the beach for a certain distance. Among them, there is a kind of whale that seems to like boats very much, and often appears Beside the boat, follow the boat for a while.”

Leng Feng nodded, then smiled and said, "How is it? Do you think it is possible to catch a whale with the strength of the East China Sea Fleet?"

"What?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback: "Kun can be caught! We can't feed it once it lands!"

Leng Feng shook his head: "It's not catching, it's hunting. I want a whale skeleton as a specimen for students to use. As for the meat, I can distribute it to farmers in western Dengzhou! Don't forget, there is a drought in western Dengzhou. Jiao is already ready to let the fishermen on the seashore go fishing for free. It shouldn’t be difficult for a whale to feed a small village.”

Zhang Liang just wanted to shake his head, but when he saw the iron-clad ships in the sea and thought about the famine, he forcibly held back.

Ordinary ships will definitely not work, but ironclad ships may not be impossible!

"I think that if you want to hunt whales, you have to dispatch three ironclad ships together. The arrows of the Ba Niu Crossbow also need to be modified. I remember that the Gongshu family seems to have arrows for siege, and that one is used for whaling. It's possible."

Having said that, Zhang Liang closed his mouth, waved his hands and said, "It's useless to say these things now, we don't have the right tools in our hands, and we'll have a long-term plan when we land on shore."

Leng Feng agreed, and then got up to look for food.

After Li Jing made such a fuss, he didn't dare to eat seafood anymore.But fortunately, the kitchen has enough food stocked. When the ingredients were available before, the food was all stocked up. Now that they are all on their way back, if they don’t eat them again, they will probably get moldy.

After eating, Leng Feng went to Li Tai's workshop.

These days, Li Tai has been busy making specimens and classifying sea fish.This is a boring job, but Li Tai never tires of it.

If you don't find something to do when you return, you will be very depressed.

The next day, the people who had been carnival for two days set off on their return journey again.

Along the way, there were no storms, only a few rainstorms.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, there was no major problem after all.

When the coastline could be seen in the distance, Leng Jing was the first to cheer.

Before, he was particularly yearning to go sailing. Although sea voyages are indeed very interesting and the scenery on the sea is also very beautiful, after a long time of sailing, they will inevitably be tired of aesthetics.

There were still some fishermen fishing by the sea. Seeing that the fleet was flying the military flag of Datang, they calmly organized to get out of the way.

When the boat docked, Leng Feng supported the two children, and let them walk on their own after they got used to the stability on the shore.

Otherwise, they will bounce their legs when they walk and fall easily.

Governor Zhou Jiao got the news and came to greet him.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the leaders, Leng Feng, Zhang Liang, and Li Jing, were all fine.

Zhang Liang said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you so relieved, we look like such a short-lived person! Okay, let's talk about the celebration later, you come here first, I will discuss something with you."

A lot of precious timber was transported on board. The East China Sea Fleet only needs to pick the best batch and keep it as a backup. The rest is best sold from time to time and exchanged for money.

It is better to leave this kind of matter to Zhou Jiao.

Although Li Jing was able to stand up and walk, his feet still hurt badly. The medicines he brought on board were limited, and he stopped taking painkillers for a few days. Now he urgently needs to take some painkillers and take a good rest.

Zhang Zhongjian wisely did not let his men enter the city, but asked for tents and set up a camp by the sea.

Since they have decided not to belong to Datang, they cannot enter Datang casually, lest Zhou Jiao make it difficult.

His subordinates are generally seaside people. Since he decided to go to the extreme south to establish a country, these people are definitely not enough, so he wants to let his subordinates go home to see if they can gather some family and friends.

Leng Feng arranged for his family to go to the shipyard, and after sending the ironclad ship to the dock for overhaul, he and Li Tai studied how to hunt whales.

After becoming addicted to making specimens, Li Tai became very interested in whaling to make skeleton specimens.

Seven or eight days later, the three ironclad ships sailed out of the shipyard, and even Zhou Jiao didn't know why the three ships went there.

Wang Li and Wuli Sima knew about it, but they couldn't stop it.

Although they oversee the three ships, they cannot be called upon except for war.

However, no one can turn a blind eye to the threat of the three princes and the two princes.

If only Zhang Liang asked, he would definitely dare to refuse.

But five people.
In desperation, Wang Li could only pretend to be sick and not to go out, so that he would be pure if he didn't see him.

I didn't see it, it's not that I didn't care.

Without Wuli Sima's obstruction, the three ships began to search for whales at sea after being remodeled.

Leng Feng looked at Li Jing who was limping, and couldn't help but said, "Why don't you take a good rest in the shipyard and come up to Chuan to hunt whaling with us."

Li Jing said with a smile: "I have only seen such a grand event as catching kuns in ancient books. Back then, I, Li Jing, wanted to try it too when I was a young master fishing for a boat-swallowing fish."

Leng Feng had no choice but to pretend he couldn't see Li Jing, and by the way, he arranged for two sergeants to watch over him.This was on a boat. Li Jing was limping and fell easily.

The first day I went to sea and returned without success.

God is like this, the more you want to meet something, the less you can meet it.

Originally, all the whaling equipment was ready, but the whale could not be seen.

The next day, still no encounter.

When the third day was approaching dusk, Leng Feng had already ordered to return to the voyage. Li Tai, who had been paying attention to the situation at sea, suddenly shouted: "Kun! There are two kuns!"

Leng Feng looked over there with his binoculars, and sure enough, two whales, one big and one small, could be vaguely seen under the blue water.

"This is mother and child, let's let them go!"

Leng Feng put down the binoculars and ordered to continue returning.

Although Li Tai was not reconciled, he had no choice but to give up after looking at the sky and thinking that this was a mother and son.

It may be because of kindness, on the fourth day, just as the three ships were out to sea, they encountered whales!
