After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 114 A Long Experience
The old fishermen are all superstitious. It is passed down from generation to generation in the village that the fish that are too big in the sea are the messengers of the Sea Dragon King, who can call the wind and the rain.Therefore, in their bones, they are in awe of the behemoths in the sea.

The big fish in front of him was bigger than the 'Sea God' he imagined.

"Tang Shuai, the big fish 'whale' in the emperor's decree has appeared!" Upon seeing this, the lieutenant ignored the kneeling old fishermen and immediately reported to Tang He.

"Prepare to hunt and kill!" Tang He was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered.

"You can't be disrespectful to the Sea God!" The old fisherman hurried over to try to stop him, preparing to fight to the death, "If you are rude to the Sea God, everyone will die at sea."

"Come here, drag him down!" Tang He said, "It was ordered to be killed by the emperor, and the emperor is the real emperor of the dragon. Even if it is the real sea god, he has to submit to the feet of the emperor of the real dragon."

Soon, more than 100 sturdy soldiers gathered on the deck, and everyone worked together to pull out the huge fish shooting crossbow on the side of the ship! '.With a crash, the huge but sharp crossbow arrows shot down at the huge monster in the sea.

There is only one crossbow arrow, ten feet long, with huge hooks on both sides.

The tail is connected by iron cables, and the other end is hung on the noose of the Hongwu treasure ship.

"Pfft!" With a sound, the huge crossbow arrow pierced the whale's body in an instant, and blood spurted out, dyeing the sea red.The whales in the sea were in pain and dragged the Hongwu treasure boat to the sea and swayed.

"Follow it with a boat!" Tang He ordered, "Let's talk about it when it's exhausted."

Tang He, who used to be in charge of the navy, and Chen Youliang fought the biggest water battle ever at Poyang Lake.I am very familiar with water warfare, but it is the first time I have ever caught a big fish in the sea.

Soon, the Hongwu treasure boat followed the whale.

Stop and go, and occasionally reverse the boat, thereby draining the whale's strength.At this time, the Hongwu treasure ship was powered by a rotating scull, and thousands of civilians rowed to fight against the behemoths in the sea.

After a long and fierce battle, the whale's strength was finally exhausted.

Tang He immediately ordered the well-watered sailors to go into the water, holding giant spears and constantly attacking the big fish in the water.There are dozens of gourds on the crowd, and even if they are weak, they will not sink to the bottom of the sea.

A mermaid war lasted for several days before humans won.

"Drag it up!" Tang He was overjoyed and told the crowd to stir the cable.With great effort, the fin whale was finally put on the boat. The crowd measured it with a ruler, and it was eight feet long.

The weight is estimated to be [-] pounds.

On the treasure boat, it is like a hill. The draft of Hongwu treasure boat is one meter deep.

"That's great!" Tang He smiled, "Your Majesty, this minister finally lives up to his mission."

"Return!"

……

"Your Majesty, Tang Shuai is back!" On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were eating the royal meal, and then heard Erhu come in to report.

"Tang He is back?" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Has he caught a big fish?"

"Caught." Erhu said excitedly, "The big fish is [-] feet long and [-] feet high. It weighs [-] catties! Tang Shuai sent people to transport it in ten trolleys, and it is almost at the gate of Yingtian City. "

"There really is such a big fish in the world!" Zhu Yuanzhang was amazed and stood up. "I didn't quite believe it when I heard Mr. Qin say there was such a big fish. I didn't expect it to be caught by Tang He."

"Mr. Qin is a pedant of heaven and man, how could his words be false?" Queen Ma said, "Such a big fish is like a small 'Kun'. According to Zhuangzi's Happy Travel records, there is a fish in Beiming whose name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don’t know how many thousands of miles it is... Although the whale that Tang He caught was only eight feet tall, far smaller than Kun, it is definitely rare in the world and can be called a divine object.”

"Now the 'Fantastic Object' has been captured by my Daming fleet, which is a sign of auspiciousness."

"Yes, this is the auspicious omen of Daming!" Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly, "Zhuangzi was originally a man of immortals. He said that Zhuangzi is not a fish and knows the joy of a fish. From this, it seems that Zhuangzi also likes big fish very much, or else He wouldn't know there was such a thing as Kun."

"I have never seen such a huge creature before." Erhu was also very excited. "Because the road was too narrow, Tang Shuai ordered people to chop down all the surrounding trees to make a wide road."

"The road was almost collapsed by the transporting trolley, and thousands of people were pushing the carts. The crowd of people onlookers was so crowded that they almost crushed their heads. There were also some people who didn't know where to go, who immediately rushed on the road after seeing the big fish. Kneeling on both sides, burning incense and praying."

"The people have never seen such a big creature before, and it's justifiable for them to burn incense and bow down." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Because the gate of Yingtianfu city is too small, the minister estimates that the big fish cannot be transported into the city." Erhu said, "If you want to transport it into the palace, it is even more impossible."

"If he can't be transported in, we'll pick him up at the city gate!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, extremely excited, "Erhu, go and call all the ministers of civil and military affairs... and all the royal chefs, and let them take the chefs of the royal kitchen. All the pots are moved to the city."

"Follow the order!" Erhu arrived.

"Sister, let's go, let's go out of the city to see the auspiciousness of the Ming Dynasty!"

……

Outside the city at this time.

On both sides of the road, there was no need for two tigers to call. After hearing the news, all the civil and military officials rushed to the gate of the city.According to their words, such a miracle is rare and must be seen.

Minister of Civil and Military, standing on both sides of the road.

Among them are Liu Bowen, Gao Qi, Song Lian, Lu Chang, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong... and all the generals, Chang Mao, Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Feng Sheng, etc.

The people on both sides of the trolley were even more crowded, and everyone was there pointing and talking.A large number of people are kneeling and worshiping, the darkness is overwhelming, and the smoke of incense is filled.

Such a huge creature has never been seen in ages!
All civil and military ministers, including the common people, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. .

What caught the crowd's eyes were the ten scooters at the road crossing. The ten scooters were connected together, and a behemoth was parked on it.The behemoth had fins and a tail, and it was obviously a fish.

Its shape is very similar to the Kun described in Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou".

"What a big fish!" Liu Bowen sighed, "I have read books on sages and sages for decades, but this is the first time I have seen such a big fish. I have learned a lot today!"

"Yeah." Gao Qi said, "As the saying goes, you can know the world without going out. It seems that this sentence is wrong. We are not only scholars, we have read more books than scholars, and we don't know how big we are. fish."
