Ji Tang

Chapter 545 Overseas Notes: Shark Hunting!

The sea breeze was blowing, and a huge fleet headed south.

Thirteen large ships lead thousands of thousand-stone ships. Such a fleet can be said to be in an invincible position in this era.

All the fishing boats or merchant ships from other countries seen along the way were stunned when they saw this scene.

He stared blankly at the ships passing by him, and then frantically dodged to the side.

If he hesitated for a moment, he didn't know whether the other party would directly hit his ship.

When he stopped, he looked back at the flag with the Tang Dynasty and Hao Ji Hou Ji and murmured: "Is the Tang Dynasty, which is invincible on land, also going to set foot in the sea?"

No one gave him an answer, and no one could give him an answer!
Due to the emergence of Ji Song, many changes have taken place in the Tang Dynasty. Whether good or bad, neighboring countries can only adapt.

As for those who can’t adapt?
hehe!Is it still necessary to exist?

Every time a hegemon rises, doesn’t that one step on the corpses of neighboring countries?
"No, it's too slow. We don't know what will happen when we get there."

Ji Song stood at the bow of the ship. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a red cloak. He looked at the slow-moving fleet and said in a deep voice.

"Wang Xuance, Shen Zhen, Xue Li!"

When they suddenly heard Ji Song teaching them their names, everyone was stunned, but as if they thought of something, they quickly stepped forward excitedly and said, "Here you are!"

"Chen Zhen, take a thousand soldiers and set off immediately for Yazhou. All the ships you see along the way will be destroyed. Don't let anyone go. Once you arrive at Yazhou, take control of the port immediately and prepare a front line for me."

"Wang Xuance, you have been to Yazhou. On the way, you will give Captain Shen a good explanation of the local situation. You will also be responsible for negotiations. Wait for news from me!"

"Xue Li, I will give you another two hundred soldiers. You must obey Captain Shen's command in everything!"

After hearing this, the three of them all said solemnly: "I will obey the order of the Marquis!"

"Ji Qing, you immediately allocate six ships to them, without any mistakes!"

Ji Qing stepped forward and cupped her hands: "No!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Song asked them to act immediately, the faster the better.

Soon, Ji Qing separated six sea ships, and a thousand soldiers also boarded the ships one after another, galloping towards the south without stopping.

Without the drag of so many ships, their speed reached the extreme and disappeared from everyone's sight in a short while.

"At the current speed, how long will it take us to reach Yazhou?"

Ji Song asked Ji Qing.

Ji Qing thought for a moment, as if calculating something, but Ji Song didn't rush her.

"Five days, this is already the fastest speed without any accidents."

"What about Shen Zhen and others?" he continued to ask.

This time Ji Qing said without any hesitation: "Two days at most."

Ji Song pondered for a moment and said: "Tell those people to follow the fleet closely along the way. If there are any stragglers, I will not wait and let them take care of themselves."

Ji Qing was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw the determination on his husband's face, he clasped his fists and said, "I'll go and inform him right away."

Ji Song was able to pull out all these people's ships this time, but he paid a lot of price, but it was more of a favor without any cost. Whether they can get the benefits depends on whether they can fight hard.

That's right, Ji Song promised them that he wouldn't take anything from them along the way. How much they could get depended on their abilities.

Ji Song did not hide what they were going south for this time. He told them that no matter how much they obtained, [-]% of the ships must be freed to carry food, and the other [-]% were at their disposal.

But even so, these people didn't hesitate at all.

Everything is afraid of a large base. There are thousands of large ships with thousands of stones, and [-]% is also [-] ships. If this is full of goods, then it is not allowed to be shipped?
This was also the reason why they cooperated with Ji Song so much. Otherwise, why would they have launched such a big battle and even agreed to Ji Song's shipment of food to the north.

People die for money, birds die for food, the ancients never deceived me!

With huge interests to gain, no one dared to disobey Ji Song's orders at this time.

Because once something unexpected happens, the damage will not be to one's own interests, but to the interests of everyone. No one will be so unwise.

Therefore, when everyone knew about Ji Song's order, they quickly ordered their family members to follow the fleet and did not dare to hold back at all.

He also ordered the person in charge on the ship to immediately approach the coast if he fell out of line.

Without the protection of the fleet, they would soon be lost on the sea, and sometimes they could not even tell the difference between south, south and north.

They have no charts and do not know how to read the sky. The survival rate of surviving alone at sea is basically less than [-]%.

When Ji Song saw that the fleet was on track, he also went to rest, leaving Ji Qing to decide other matters alone.

When Daniel saw the Marquis leaving, he completely let himself go, climbing up the mast and up to the watchtower, but he just couldn't stop.

When Ji Qing saw it, he shook his head helplessly and ignored him.

"Brother Daniu, you miss us so much. Let's go and take you to do something fun."

The ten personal guards who had been following Ji Qing and the others were very excited after seeing Daniel.

In order to protect the three young masters, they had followed him for four or five years. After the three returned to Chang'an, they had to help look after the fleet. They had not been home for a long time.

"It's your kid, why are you so dark?"

Daniel was stunned when he heard this familiar voice, and was shocked when he saw the person coming!
Ji Cheng touched his face with a wry smile and said, "What can I do? It's not from the sun on the sea."

"Damn it, I thought we were the handsome men in our Haoji County who were famous far and near, but now we have turned into black coal."

The same is true for other people. They have escaped death many times over the years and have taken a dim view of other things. Let's just say it's bad. It's not bad to save a family fortune for the children!

Although they paid a lot, they also received a lot.

Ji Songke has never treated his own people badly. His annual remuneration is three times that of Zhuangzi's soldiers, and he can save a lot of money every year.

My children at home are also studying in the school, which I heard is pretty good.

What are you and others working so hard for, other than to have a better life for your family?
When Daniel heard this, he patted Jicheng's shoulder and said, "The Marquis has also thought about your matters. If you don't want to run around on the sea, you can go home with the Marquis this time."

"Don't be burdened. The three young masters have already told the Marquis that they would go back in your place."

"But I heard that you don't want to? What do you think? Can you still stay at sea for the rest of your life?"

Faced with Daniel's inquiry, Ji Cheng and others also fell silent.

"No need, I have been at sea for so many years. To be honest, every day I see scenery that I have never seen before, and my temper has become wild. I don't know what to do when I go back. I'd better accompany the three young masters to the other side of the sea. Bar"

"We have been working hard for this goal for so many years, and we are about to set off. We are not willing to leave now!"

Daniel looked at the few people and could feel that his words were sincere.

He was silent for a long time and said, "If you are willing, then go ahead and do it."

"But remember, Zhuangzi will always be your home. It is the place where we return to our roots after falling leaves. Promise me that we will all come back alive."

Ji Cheng grinned, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Don't worry!"

Later, both of them avoided the topic. Ji Cheng took Da Niu to shoot fish. Da Niu was also curious. He had heard of bird shooting, but what kind of shooting method was used to shoot fish?
When they came to Gaban, there were ten ballistas here. He knew these things. Back then, they used these things to shoot the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Turkic Grand Elder back before they could advance.

"You actually got all these things?" He looked at Ji Cheng in surprise.

Jicheng grinned: "What is this? We were the ones who made this thing back then. It's not easy to cause a few fights?" Daniel said solemnly: "Don't play with fire? Even the Marquis wouldn't dare to do this now. Do it, if someone finds out"

"Well, the Marquis knows about this. There are no outsiders on this ship. Besides, they are usually kept in the cabin."

Daniel was relieved when he heard that the Marquis knew about this.

If they did it privately, he would have to consider whether to suggest to the Marquis to replace them all.

"Look, what is that?"

Then someone shouted.

Daniel looked towards the sea and was also shocked: "What kind of fish is this? Is it so big?"

Ji Cheng adjusted the ballista and said: "This is a shark. In the past, Cheng Quan always appeared in pairs. They are ferocious beasts in the sea, extremely cruel."

"However, don't look at the big one, but the meat is not delicious!"

With that, he aimed his arrow at the shark.

Whoosh!
The arrow shot out quickly, and then Daniel saw that there was a rope at the end of the arrow.

"This rope is our own, otherwise ordinary ropes wouldn't be able to trap this guy."

Ji Cheng explained and looked into the sea. At this time, blood was seeping out of the sea.

The rope was very tight, which showed that this guy was definitely very strong.

After waiting for a while, I saw Ji Cheng shoot two more arrows, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay, we will fish him out later."

So, when Ji Song got up, he saw this scene.

Ji Cheng was chopping fish with a steel knife, while Daniel was helping.

When he saw what it was, he was surprised and said, "Is this a shark?"

"Master Hou is wise!"

Ji Cheng immediately slapped him in the face.

Ji Song was furious and kicked Ji Cheng aside. Looking at the ruined shark, he cried without tears.

"You're a fucking waste of nature. Is this how sharks eat?"

After saying that, You couldn't understand his hatred and kicked him a few more times.

If the shark meat is not processed well, the fishy smell can overwhelm people, and the meat also needs to undergo a lot of processing before it can be eaten.

"How did you eat shark meat before?" Ji Song planned to ask.

Jicheng looked depressed. He didn't know how he provoked the Marquis?
"how to eat?"

Ji Cheng was stunned and said: "This fish is a bit smelly, so we use aniseed to remove the smell, and finally stir-fry it. Although the taste is not very good, it is quite chewy."

After hearing this, Ji Song looked at him differently. What a fucking talent!

I just don’t know if he is eating aniseed or meat?
Shark meat is actually not delicious. Even in later generations, few people ate shark meat, and the people of Greater China also stayed away from it.

But the only thing that makes people forget to leave is the shark's fins and lips, which are as famous as bird's nests and bear's paws.

However, its greatest value is its economic and medicinal value.

But now look what they do?

The good shark skin was cut into tatters, as if it had been scratched by a dog.

“Where are the shark fins and lips?”

Ji Cheng touched his head and said confusedly: "Young Master Rou, throw it away!"

boom!
Then he was kicked away by Ji Song again while everyone couldn't bear to look at him.

"You're a damn prodigal. I'm not even that prodigal."

"Do you know what price a shark like this would fetch if shipped to Chang'an?"

Ji Cheng shook his head, how could he know this?
"Qian Guan, to put it mildly, if it works properly, even Wan Guan is possible."

"You are not eating meat, you prodigal thing. You are simply eating money!"

Thinking that so much money was wasted by this prodigal thing, I became very angry.

Jicheng was stunned at this time and said blankly: "Master Hou, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Lying to you? Is it necessary?" Ji Song said disdainfully.

Ji Cheng was stunned for a long time, and finally ran towards the ballista like crazy.

"What are you doing?" Daniel asked quickly.

Isn't this about throwing yourself into the sea?Daniel quickly protected him and prevented him from doing stupid things.

He could also understand Ji Cheng's mood. Anyone who knew that he had ruined something worth tens of thousands of dollars would probably be thinking of committing suicide.

"Let me go. I'm going to catch a few hundred of them. Wouldn't that make me rich?"

His eyes were red at this moment. If he had known it was so valuable, there would be nothing he could say to waste it.

But don't worry, there are a lot of these things in the sea, just catch them.

Ji Song stepped forward because he had already seen a diving shark. Now that he had encountered it, he could not let it go no matter what.

"Go, get me Barb. He doesn't even know how to catch fish. From now on, let alone my personal guard, I can't afford to disgrace him."

Soon, someone brought the barbed arrow over, and after he strung it, he began to take aim.
Whoosh!
The loose rope was immediately straightened, then relaxed again, then straightened and relaxed again.

After going back and forth like this several times, Ji Song slowly asked someone to tighten the rope.

"Go get the big net. This thing is not dead yet. Please be careful with me."

Soon, the adult shark was brought up.

Asking Daniel to go up and knock him out, Ji Song breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step was much simpler. Under Ji Song's command, the shark was quickly dismembered and its skeleton was completely preserved.

The entire shark skin is completely preserved, which is the best armor material for the soldiers on the ship.

There are different lands on the sea. If you wear iron armor, you will basically be dead once you fall into the sea.

It sank directly to the bottom without any surprises.

However, leather armor made of shark skin is not necessarily less protective than iron armor after being made with special techniques.

"Keep all the skins. If I let you know who has wasted everything again, I will see how I will deal with you."

Handing the shark skin to Daniel, he began to process the shark fins and lips. This was his purpose.

This is something that doesn’t have to be bad, and the taste is unparalleled. I didn’t have the chance before, so I have to enjoy it this time, enjoy it!
When Ji Song made the thing and smelled the aroma, Ji Cheng regretted it to death. What did he miss?
Compared to what the Marquis makes, what I make is just pig food, no, not even as good as pig food.
