Chen Xi stood on the deck, looking at the blue sea and sighing with emotion.
Now, it's midsummer.
The sea water is very warm. I leaned over and looked at the sides of the boat. From time to time, there were even big fish swimming in groups in the water, like arrows from a string.
Now, more than an hour has passed since Chen Yu said goodbye to the family of the migrating giant beast.
The fleet sailed dozens of kilometers on the sea, facing the wind and waves.
The monsoon in this season of the Whale River Sea is very suitable for sailing southward.
Therefore, the fleet constantly adjusts its course according to the wind direction.
With the help of the Korean guide, we headed towards the legendary land of Japanese slaves.
In the past hour, Chen Xi and the soldiers of the fleet saw countless giant beasts taking a breath on the sea.
We even saw a spectacular group of humpback whales cooperating to feed on plankton in the sea.
Everyone in the fleet has gone from being shocked and panicked at the beginning to being surprised now.
Everyone has gradually understood that those seemingly terrifying giant beasts are actually very docile.
They don't even harm the fish in the sea...
What I saw in my eyes were just groups of whales that continued to rise for air, and then retreated into the deep sea.
Of course, the ocean is not always peaceful.
Not long ago, the fleet witnessed a massacre in the ocean.
A group of sharks attacked a migrating group of sperm whales.
Two young whales were brutally murdered, and their blood turned the sea red.
The Han fleet sailed over, dispersed the shark swarm, and saved the poor sperm whale group.
"This Jingchuanhai is indeed well-deserved..." Chen Xi scratched his head with emotion and asked the Korean guides: "But how do such giant whales grow up in such large numbers and in such large numbers?"
After the scene just now, not only Chen Xi, but also everyone in the fleet knew that these giant beasts were just like cattle and horses on land. They looked scary, but in fact, they were also made of flesh and blood. They were even unable to fight against those who were only as big as
They are one-tenth the size of sharks.
Like cattle and horses on land, they were knocked down and torn to pieces by jackals.
Then here comes the problem.
The sea is endless as far as the eye can see, except for sea water, it is still sea water.
These giant beasts don't eat fish, they don't look like they eat grass, and they're not mythical beasts that don't eat fireworks.
So, what do they eat to grow to such a big size?
Especially there are so many whales in the Whale River Sea and they are so big.
They must have a food source.
But the question is, what do they eat?
If this problem can be clarified, Chen Xi feels that this voyage will be worth it even if he gains nothing in the end.
After hearing this, the Korean guides shook their heads and bowed one after another: "Noble sir, we really don't know. We only know that our ancestors traveled between the Jingchuan Sea and the land of Japanese slaves for generations. Countless whales can be seen every year, so
, call it the Whale River Sea..."
When Chen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
If only we knew the food source of these giant whales!
As long as you know this, you can set up an ambush in their feeding area next time you come back, and you can kill dozens or even hundreds of them at a time!
It’s equivalent to getting back tens of millions of dollars from just one trip to the sea!
This kind of deal is enough to make people crazy!
"Then do you know where these whales are going?" Chen Hao continued to ask with some unwillingness to give up.
The guides still shook their heads.
The sea is vast, and their ancestors only knew from their ancestors that at certain times in the Jingchuan Sea, there will be an ocean current that can drift to the country of the Japanese slaves. Following that ocean current, one can easily reach the country of the Japanese slaves.
of islands.
Apart from this, they know nothing about other places.
This made Chen Yu feel a little frustrated.
But Chen Xi didn't know, nor could he imagine that the food of most of these huge behemoths in the sea was floating cloud creatures invisible to the naked eye.
Those tiny plankton have given birth to the largest sea monsters in the history of the earth.
This is the miracle of life.
What he didn't even know was that at this moment, in the deep sea of the Jingchuan Sea, two ocean currents were opposing each other.
The warm current from the southeastern coast of China and the South China Sea and the cold current from the Arctic Ocean meet in the depths of this ocean, bringing a large amount of nutrients and countless nutrients.
It is these things that attract whales from all over the world to come from all over the world to participate in this feast.
Some of these whales even traveled half of the world, coming from near Antarctica or the North Pole to participate in the feast.
But there is one thing that Chen Xi knows very well.
"The money for my Northwest Governor's Office and the funds for future construction have been secured!" Chen Xi looked at the sea area and thought in his heart.
There are so many giant beasts in the sea.
Almost every quarter of an hour, one or more whale pods can be spotted moving within the fleet's sight.
How many whales are there in this vast Whale River Sea?
Chen Xi couldn't even count them.
Then, just find an island in the nearby waters where you can slaughter and dismember these whales.
This Whale River Sea will become an active gold mine.
"And... this is a gold mine that will never be exhausted!" Chen Hao thought in his heart.
A whale is worth at least dozens of gold, and may even be worth a hundred gold.
It takes thousands of people and a year of hard work to dig out one hundred gold pieces of gold.
Among them, at least dozens of workers died from exhaustion, illness, or landslides.
But here, it doesn't need to be that way.
Just bring a fully armed whaler over.
After the hunt is complete, the whale carcass is dragged to the island where it is dismembered and refined.
Then the skin, muscles, bones, and fat were shipped back to China, and the money was obtained.
There's no easier way to make money than this!
Thinking like this, Chen Xi asked: "Then you should know where there are islands in the sea, right?"
These Korean guides, you look at me, I look at you, they thought for a while, and then, one of them said: "Reporting to the noble man, the villain's father seems to have said that there are two big islands near the country of the Japanese slaves.
, there are also some Japanese slaves on the island, naked, slashing and burning, and tying ropes to remember things!"
"Do those two islands have names?" Chen Xi frowned and sighed in his heart, but having an island to stay on is better than dragging whales on the sea for two or three days.
God knows, will these whales rot after such a long time?
"No..." the guide replied, and then he flattered and said: "They are probably waiting for the nobles to come and name them..."
When Chen Xi heard this, he beamed with joy.
give a name to?
This is good!
Since the time of Emperor Gao, the noble ministers of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court have developed the bad habit of naming mountains, rivers and lakes.
His emperor's brother-in-law is a leader of the contemporary era.
First, he gave the land of Yaoren a new name, but then he thought it was not satisfying, so he packaged the other parts together and named it Huaihua.
As for changing the name of the original royal capital of North Korea to Pyongyang, that is even more childish.
Chen Xi pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will command the Chinese ships and travel thousands of miles to the Yi, Di and Japanese slaves. I will turn the Holy Emperor into rain and dew and spread it to other people. I will call those two islands.
:Cheng'en, one said: Shunde..."
Chen Xi didn't know that Tsushima Island and Iki Island in another time and space were named by him.
He dragged his cheeks and looked at what the Korean called Whale River Sea, and felt that the name was very bad.
If word gets out, it's likely to attract other people's attention.
I need to change its name to avoid attracting a bunch of people to forcefully eat it before I finish it.
You know, although the Chen family is a relative, except for his mother, there is actually no one in the court who can fight!
In the future, if the Queen's sister gives birth to the eldest prince, her power may increase.
But that is the future after all.
Nowadays, the Chen family is just a family that is neither good nor bad.
How can it be compared to the Bo and Dou clan supported by two queen mothers?
Even if you try to flatter him, you can't catch up with him. The most noble clan in the world today is the Zhou clan, the Marquis of Changping.
Even if these three giants don't show up.
The Cao family in Pingyang, the Chen family in Quni, and the queen family of Liang Wang Liu Wu in Suiyang are all qualified to say no to his family, and even hang him up and beat him.
Therefore, it must be hidden from others.
"I feel that the name of Jingchuanhai is nondescript and not elegant..." Chen Xi looked at the others with a smile and said, "How about giving it a more elegant name?"
How dare other people have any opinions?
They all laughed together and said: "The Lord is right, he should be given an elegant name!"
Chen Tan pondered for a moment, looked at the vast sea, and then said: "Yi Yun: One Yuan begins again, and everything is renewed. This sea is the first distant sea that our Chinese king's ships arrive at. Let's call it Yuan Hai..."
Naturally, other people had no objections, especially the military officers from China, who all applauded.
Of course Yuanhai sounds better than Jingchuanhai!
The reason is very simple. Once this name is spread, won't it tell people all over the world: Lou Chuan has expanded a sea territory for His Majesty, and his destiny is Yuan Hai?
Although China is not particularly interested in so-called maritime borders.
Even the word "haijiang" is a new word.
This was invented by Lou Chuan Yamen himself.
The inventor is none other than Xu Wen, the current general of building ships.
Obviously, this is a word that Xu Wen forcibly invented in order to compete with others for military funds.
As soon as everyone in the building and boat heard this word, they immediately used it.
True to my word, our ships and ships guard the sea frontiers for His Majesty, transport grain for thousands of miles, and lose the wealth of the world.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, everyone in Louchuan Yamen believes it.
It is true that a lie told a thousand times is the truth.
People on and off the building shouted these slogans every day. Over time, they did brainwash a lot of people, but slowly, they themselves believed it.
I am convinced that I am indeed an important department in guarding the sea territory for His Majesty, patrolling the sea defense for the Xia Dynasties, and exporting food and grass to the world.
It’s so frustrating to not be able to join the Jiuqing family! (.)
