Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

One month, that’s seven taels!

If I had this kind of income, I could buy food and support my family without relying on relief.

"What the hell are you thinking about? Do it!"

In a blink of an eye, someone took the initiative to stand up.

"That's right. Even if we don't have the two hundred coins, we'll still do this job just because the two ladies personally serve us porridge!"

Someone followed closely, raised his fist, and expressed his true thoughts.

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, my mother would have almost starved to death. This favor must be repaid!"

"I've done it. I'm just sitting there doing nothing. I might as well stretch my muscles!"

"Your Majesty has already gone to sea himself, what else do we want?"

"........."

Soon, the quiet port became lively.

The discussions of tens of thousands of people mixed together, making Zhu Youxiao's ears buzz, as if a J20 was hovering overhead.

He pressed his hand, signaling the fishermen to be quiet.

But it's totally useless!

In desperation, he took out his revolver and fired a few shots into the air.

"boom!"

The sudden gunshots finally quieted the fishermen.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.

"In that case, let's go!"

These fishermen brought all their food supplies on the boat, so he didn't need to prepare anything.

The fishermen got on a sampan in groups of three or five, then rowed away from the dock and waited in the distance.

Zhu Youxiao was not idle either. He turned around and boarded the Fujian ship he had taken when he came here.

Until all the sampans had left the dock and only a few fishermen were left on the shore, Zhu Youxiao waved to Ma Laoliu.

Seeing this, Ma Laoliu grinned and shouted.

"Raise the sails, row the oars, and set out to sea!"

The Fujian ship started moving, and the rest of the Guangdong ships and sand ships followed closely behind, and the fishermen's sampans also started moving.

Chapter 141: Going out to sea to fish, unexpectedly got this unexpected harvest

Zhu Youxiao wanted fish tendons, especially those from great white sharks.

But with today's means, if you want to encounter this thing in the sea, you can only rely on luck.

Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing.

If shark tendons are not available, tendons from other fish should work, but they must be large enough.

After sailing out of Yuegang, the huge fleet broke up into dozens of teams.

Some headed south, some headed north, while the larger ships headed towards deeper areas.

Every time the fleet moved a certain distance, a group of sampans would break away from the team and head towards the area where the seagulls were circling.

On the Fu ship, Youtong looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, this is simply magnificent!"

Zhu Youxiao had the same feeling, but he sighed with regret.

"The fleet that Eunuch Sanbao sailed with back then was probably a hundred times more spectacular than these!"

At this moment, the yellow dog, who had been imprisoned in the cabin, was staring at the sea in a daze through the window.

He heard clearly in the cabin what Zhu Youxiao had said to the fishermen at the dock.

Now seeing this scene, his eyes unconsciously became red.

"Somebody come!"

"Someone come quickly!"

He suddenly shouted outside the cabin.

The Jinyiwei guarding the door pushed it open, glared at him and shouted.

"What are you howling for?"

Huang Gouzi hurriedly said, "I have something important to discuss with your majesty. It's about the treasure ship!"

The Jinyiwei's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that.

"Wait!"

After saying that, he closed the hatch and ran towards the bow.

Zhu Youxiao was a little confused when he heard the news. What did this yellow dog want to do?

The inheritance of the treasure ship is a big deal, so after thinking about it, he asked someone to bring Huang Gouzi over.

"Tell me what's going on!"

The yellow dog fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, you are able to personally lead the fishermen to fish for the disaster victims. This is enough to prove that you are a wise ruler!"

"I had previously presumptuously speculated on your Majesty's intentions, thinking that you wanted to cut off the inheritance of the treasure ship."

"I am guilty! I am willing to hand over the Huang family inheritance and tell you the whereabouts of the descendants of the Wang and Ximen families!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that going out to sea to fish would bring him such an unexpected harvest!

"Tell me! If you can find the whereabouts of the descendants of the Wang and Ximen families, not only will I not blame you, I will also reward you handsomely!"

Huang Gouzi said, "Your Majesty, the descendants of the two families changed their surnames when they fled!"

"The descendants of the Wang family took after their mother and changed their surname to Sun. The same is true for the Ximen family. They changed their surname to Han!"

"When the sea was opened in the fifth year of Tianqi, they sailed out to Ryukyu!"

Ryukyu?

Zhu Youxiao immediately turned around and looked at Sun Kangwang.

"Send a message to Zheng Zhilong immediately, asking him to go to Ryukyu in person to find the descendants of these two families!"

"Tell him to be kind and not to hurt anyone!"

Ryukyu has been a vassal state of China since ancient times, but was occupied by the Chinese in later generations and renamed Okinawa.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

In this life, Ryukyu must change its status as a vassal state and completely become a part of the Ming Dynasty!

"Yes!"

After Sun Kangwang clasped his fists and bowed, he turned around and gave orders to people to do things.

There are more than ten bird boats guarding the Fu ship, on standby at all times. It would be most appropriate to let them do such things.

Zheng Zhilong was responsible for finding someone, but the Huang family's inheritance was complicated and it was far from being able to be explained in just a few words.

Zhu Youxiao asked the four Xuanwu Lang and Huang Gouzi to return to the cabin together. Huang Gouzi dictated and they were responsible for recording.

“Ga…ga…ga…ga…”

The sound of seagulls crying came from the front. Zhu Youxiao turned his head and saw countless ripples on the sea in front of him. Seagulls swooped down from time to time, and when they flew out of the sea again, they held the struggling fish in their mouths.

Seeing this, Ma Laoliu exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, there is a school of fish ahead!"

Yutong rolled his eyes at him and said, "We have fish, but this is a lucky boat, not a fishing boat!"

Ma Laoliu shook his head and said, "No, we have fishing nets on our boat too! And it's a trawl net!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged, "Why don't you go get it quickly?"

He still knew about trawl nets. When thrown into the sea, this thing would open into a pocket shape under the action of the lead weight. This kind of net was mainly used for deep-sea fishing in later generations.

Ma Laoliu ran to the bottom cabin, and soon he was back on deck.

Behind him, several shipwrights worked together to pull a net out from the bottom cabin.

"Your Majesty, this is it!" Ma Laoliu said excitedly, pointing at the net.

"This net is small and is placed on the boat so that we can catch some fish when we go out to sea to test the boat and bring them back to supplement the family income!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at him in surprise. This old fellow actually said so bluntly about misusing public resources for personal gain!

But he didn't care too much about it. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon no matter when.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get off the net!"

The resources in the ocean at that time were countless times better than in later generations. He was looking forward to how many fish he could catch with this net!

"I obey, little one!"

Ma Laoliu smiled and led the boatmen, dragging the big net, towards the stern of the ship.

After all, it is not a professional fishing boat, and there is no equipment such as a winch at the stern.

Ma Laoliu and others tied the trawl rope directly to the side of the boat and then threw the net into the sea.

Zhu Youxiao came over to watch, and saw that the net stretched out quickly as it entered the water, but it was only about five or six meters long, and the diameter of the net mouth was only about two meters.

"Full sail! Row with all your might!"

After the trawl was put into the sea, Old Man Ma turned around and shouted at the craftsmen.

There were four sails on the Fu ship, and only two had been raised before. After the order was given, the shipwright immediately raised the remaining two.

"Wow!"

The raised sails suddenly swelled under the action of the wind, and the hull also shook.

The sailors in the bottom cabin rowed the boat with all their might.

Under the action of the two phases, the ship speed instantly increased by more than one third.

Soon, the lucky ship passed through the rippling sea, scaring countless seagulls away.

"Snapped!"

A fish jumped out of the sea from behind the lucky ship. It was a small fish that escaped from the net because the mesh was too large.

Then, fish began to jump out of the sea one after another.

The seagulls that had just dispersed, seeing this scene from high in the sky, dived down again and accurately caught the small fish that jumped out of the water into their mouths.

The area of ​​this school of fish is very large, about two to three hundred meters.

But when the Fu ship had traveled less than halfway, its speed suddenly dropped.

Chapter 142: The Xuanwu Langs Who Became Rabbit Lords

"Your Majesty, the net is full!"

Feeling the ship's speed slowing down, Ma Laoliu immediately ran over excitedly to report.

"Then let's close the net!" Zhu Youxiao's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing the sound, several boatmen immediately reached out to pull the net rope, but after trying twice, their faces changed.

I can't pull it at all!

In order to prevent the fish in the net from escaping, the Fu ship did not stop. In this situation, the resistance of the sea water was huge, and it was not easy to reel in the net.

"Some people come out to help!"

One of them shouted towards the bottom cabin.
