Although there were not many people in Taiwan, the senior executives of the Taiwan Song Yuanhai Fishing Team expressed some concerns about the Japanese who also came to Essay Island.

There is a strait between Japan and Essay Island, which is the narrowest part of the strait, less than forty miles. What if Japanese people flock to you!

Faced with this worry, Jinding looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window and said with a smile:

"Don't worry about the Japanese. The island of Hoiyi is so cold. Do the Japanese have clothes to keep warm? They don't have duck down jackets! They don't have cotton jackets either! Besides, it's cold here, it's not suitable for farming and rice. Are Japanese still interested in coming here to get frozen? As for those Japanese, 80% of them made of trouble in Japan, and then they came to this bitter and cold place."

This time, the Golden Ding led 600 people to the Ma Yi Island. First of all, I did a lot of effort in keeping cold. In addition to each person preparing a duck down robe, each person also equipped with a set of cotton coats. Unlike the duck down jacket that stuffed with duck down jackets, the cotton coat is filled with Jibei - Mao Geng called cotton. OK! Although this cotton coat is not as good as a duck down jacket, the warmth effect is really good.

Tao Wenfu also came up with facts to support Jinding’s point of view:

"Not bad! The Japanese don't even have duck down jackets, they have never seen cotton. Moreover, over the years, they have been constantly in civil wars. After all, the Gen Lai Dynasty finally defeated the Hei clan. Now the political situation is not stable. It is said that Gen's power is tyrannical, and even their emperors do not take it seriously. In my opinion, it will take at least several years to end this chaos, so there is no need to worry about the Japanese."

In fact, Tao Wenfu's estimates were still too conservative. It was not until the end of the 16th century that the Matsumae clan of Japan went north to Hokkaido and built the first Fukuyama Castle, which was the beginning of Japan's occupation of the nest. After all, this was the late Ming Dynasty. The Ming Empire promoted cotton planting to benefit Japan. At about this time, Japanese people began to wear cotton coats, so they had the material conditions to migrate to Hokkaido. Of course, there was another point, which was due to the influence of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a fanatical expansionist.

It was not until the 19th century that Hokkaido was officially included in the Japanese territory.

There is no doubt that you should not worry about the Japanese at this time.

The conversation between Jinding and Tao Wenfu made everyone feel relaxed. Lei Yuntong, who claimed to be Lei Gong, shouted:

"Since those Japanese birdmen came here because they had made a mistake, they were definitely not good birds. It would be better to catch them all and cut them down with a knife to save trouble."

Tao Wenfu smiled and said:

"It's not necessary to cut it off. It's good to catch it and be a coolie."

Tao Wenfu's idea was supported by the Golden Ding, so the Japanese were treated as smugglers without exception. After being captured, they were organized with the captured Japanese pirates.

Du Fade is the captain of Whaling Ship 1. What makes Du Fade depressed is that a few days ago, the blind cat from Boat 2 hit a dead mouse and actually caught a whale weighing 8,000 kilograms. It's envious! Why don't he have such good luck!

The snow stopped today, and it happened to leave the port to hunt whales. Du Fade's whaling ship is now sailing on the sea. Although the sun is bright, the cold sea breeze blows over, and I feel that my face is cold and cold. If it weren't for the duck down jacket on my body, no one would dare to stay at the bow of the ship at this moment.

Jiang Yi at the bow of the boat was holding a telescope to observe the sea in front of him, hoping that a big whale would suddenly emerge.

Du Fade was very satisfied with Jiang Yi's performance, patted him on the shoulder, and then walked to the side of the ship.

Two guys on the side of the ship were talking:

"Why did you say it was named Beihai Island? I heard that this place was originally called Xiayi Island, and some people said it was called Xiayi Island. I heard that many people advocate changing the name to "Xiayi Island". I think the name "Xiayi Island" is very good, much better than "Northia Island".

"You know, no! I have the East China Sea and the South China Sea in the Song Dynasty, so there must be a North China Sea. So this island is called 'Beihai Island', do you understand!"

When Du Fade heard that Yu Jinchang and Liu Sancai didn't know how to understand, he immediately shouted:

"You two killers, let me tell you that it is 'Hokkaido', not 'Kei Island'. You two are chewing here, watch me carefully. If there is any movement on the sea, report it immediately."

The two of them immediately fell silent, although they still didn't understand what the name "Hokkaido" mentioned by Du Fade was, and what's wrong with it being called "Beihai Island"!

The whaling ship continues to move forward on the blue sea. Now it is just sailing, and the steam turbine has already heated the boiler. However, at this time, the furnace only adds some coal from time to time to keep the fire in the furnace unextinguished. It has always maintained this way when there is no need to sail at high speed. However, once it is necessary, it is necessary to continuously add coal to allow the steam turbine to output power immediately, so that the whaling ship can immediately speed up and move forward at full speed.

Only Yu Jinchang screamed:

"Look! Look, it's spraying, water is spraying there!"

I saw a water column spraying from a distance, which could be seen without a telescope.

"Quick, turn the rudder, increase coal, speed up, catch up, that's a whale." Du Fade couldn't wait to roar in anger.

When the furnace heard Du Fade's roar, he immediately added several large shovels of coal into the furnace. At the same time, the pilot opened the steam valve and the steam turbine began to start slowly. After a while, the steam turbine started to rotate at high speed. At this time, someone on the deck had already lowered the sails. As the steam turbine was running, it drove the propeller to rotate. The whaling ship began to accelerate and accelerate, rushing straight to the whales in the distance.

The faster the speed, the more biting the cold wind was. The biting cold wind blew on the face, but Du Fade didn't care at all. He held up the telescope and tried to find the whale's traces as soon as possible.

"Look, behind."

Yu Jinchang was sharp-eyed and saw the whale's huge back swept through the back of the ship at first sight. Liu Sancai, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment, my god! What a big fish this is!

"Switch the rudder! Quickly, turn the rudder!"

Fortunately, the whaling ship quickly turned half a circle and pointed the bow at the whale that was swimming not far away.

The whale obviously did not realize that the huge danger was coming, and was still swimming leisurely, and did not take this boat of inconspicuous shape to heart.

The whale cannon on the bow had already been loaded with medicine bags and artillery arrows. Du Fade pushed the gun away and took over the whale cannon directly. After aiming for a moment, he couldn't wait to pull the whale cannon.

With a loud bang, the artillery arrow shot out, and the rope tied to the tail of the artillery arrow flew forward.

Jiang Yi didn't stare at the whale in an instant. When the artillery arrow was about to hit the whale's back, the whale suddenly made a difficult move in the water and actually avoided the artillery arrow. There was only a huge vortex left on the sea.

"Baby, fuck, ran away?"

"Well. It's a little faster." Jiang Yi said regretfully.

Du Fade felt that his luck was really bad, why was this damn whale so cunning!

After retrieving the artillery arrows that had not been shot, Du Fade felt very depressed and looked blankly into the distance, thinking in his heart, what an exciting thing it would be if he could catch such a large whale!

Time passed every minute and seconds, and Du Fade had not recovered from his frustration. Suddenly, Jiang Yi and Yu Jinchang shouted at the same time:

"Look, whale!"

"Whale! Look, wow! It's so big! A big big whale."

Du Fade hurriedly looked up at the sea and saw a huge whale passing by the sea and heading straight ahead.

"Fire the gun, hurry up, fire the gun!"

This time, Du Fade only had time to shout, and the gunner pulled the whale cannon in the middle of the flash of lightning. With a bang, the artillery arrows flew out again. Du Fade felt that this time it should have.

Sure enough, red bloodstains emerged from the sea in front of him - it hits!

Soon, the whale pulled the rope straight. It can be imagined that the artillery arrow should have penetrated deeply into the whale body. Due to the effect of the four large barbs, no matter how strong the artillery arrow was, it could not be pulled out. However, the whale was so powerful that it actually pulled the whale boat and shook it.

"Quick, load it up quickly, and have another shot!"

Du Fade was particularly nervous at this time, so he simply took off his duck down jacket. Like a gunner, he only wore a short cotton coat and looked shirtless.

As the second artillery arrow hit the whale, a burst of cheers broke out on the ship. Du Fade finally took a breath, and the whale had nowhere to escape.

But the injured whale tried its best to make a dying fight, rushing forward, diving, and rolling, making the entire ship feel like it was in the midst of storm.

"Oh my god! I'm going to capsize."

"Oh! It's going to sink."

－－－－－－－

"Quick, turn off the power."

"Quick, let the rope be longer, let it go a few more times."

As the power was turned off and the ropes became longer and longer, the huge crisis caused by the whales tumbling began to ease. Du Fade stared at the whales from afar and struggled, and blood kept coming out of the sea. After a while, his strength was about to end, and then he gradually calmed down.

About an hour later, the huge whale finally stopped moving and must have died.

Du Fade let out a long sigh and laughed. This whale is at least 10,000 or 20,000 kilograms. Compared with the whale caught today, the whale less than 10,000 kilograms caught by No. 1 whaling ship is not worth boasting. This time, Du Fade was satisfied and drove the whale to drag the whales back to the port in a very proud way.

However, the whale was too huge, and hundreds of people almost ran out of their nests. It took a lot of effort to use the pulley set of the port and the human force to drag the whale to the shore.

Today, not only Du Fade and the others caught whales. There was a whale lying on the beach not far away, but it seemed that less than half of the whale was. Damn! The No. 1 whaling ship was lucky again today. Hehe, unfortunately, the whale they caught was a bit pitiful compared to the whales here.

Other people are responsible for slaughtering whales, among which the pirates and Japanese smugglers caught are part of the slaughter team. Slaughtering is not an easy task. According to Chief Executive Mao’s request, almost all parts of the whale can come in handy, so even the bones must be cleaned. All the bones that remove the meat will be used to refine bone glue.

Du Fade was very proud. The final weight of this whale was 34,000 kilograms, which did not include the shedding whale blood. The prey of the No. 1 whales was less than 20,000 kilograms. The two whales they caught were not as heavy as one of them!

However, on the fourth day, after the sky turned clear, Du Fade was about to stop and was about to go out to sea to catch whales again, he was told that the No. 1 whaling ship won again this time! Because ambergris was found in the body of the slightly smaller whale. Given that ambergris was not only not fragrant but also smelly when he was taken out of his body, it gradually smelled a little after two days. Now, it can be confirmed that the sperm whale that produces ambergris is found.

Damn! What luck is it! Du Fade said that Feng Shui will change, and when you arrive at my house tomorrow, you will definitely win back.
Chapter completed!
