Whaling was a very new profession for the Ming Dynasty. Even if there were fishermen in the past, it never became a climate.

The real development of the whaling industry was caused by Zhu Guoqiang, who occasionally discovered whales at sea after he opened the capital of Dalian by the General Pinglu.

In order to promote the development of the whaling industry, Dutch whaling stewards taught the Ming crew whaling technology. The reason for such a big fight was to obtain high-quality meat supply.

"The carnivore provided by a whale is equal to hundreds of cows!"

In order to obtain a high-quality and stable supply of meat, the General's Mansion even directly sent a naval army to sea to hunt whales. Although it was limited by navigation and storage technology, it could only catch whales in the offshore area, but it still harvested thousands of tons of whales every year. The sufficient supply of meat has improved the combat effectiveness of the Pinglu Army. Later, with the development of technology, the whaling industry has gone to the ocean and has long become an emerging industry in the Ming Dynasty.

The hundreds of thousands of whale meat each year brings much wealth to the ship owner, but this wealth and whale meat is brought by hundreds of whaling ships sailing across the four seas.

It was brought by thousands of whaling hands like Liang Min.

However, Liang Min, who had just boarded the boat, was not a whaler, but an ordinary sailor.

The two tasks of navigation and whaling on whaling ships are managed separately, and the captain is responsible for navigation and daily management other than other non-whaling, while whaling is left to a senior crew member to take charge.

This senior crew member is the Javeliner.

Whaling ships are used to hunt whales, so the power of the Javeliner is quite great, and he has the final say on all whaling work on the ship. On the ship, the Javeliner is a very important position and is the main object of the captain's reliance. In some cases, the captain even needs to obey the orders of the Javeliner.

On the whaling ship, the javelin lived at the stern and ate in the captain's room. As for a boat of sailors, they would just take a copper lunch box and snatch a few bites on the cabin or deck. Liang Min, who had just got on the boat, was an ordinary sailor, or even the kind of sailor who could be used by anyone.

However, as long as a whaling ship leaves the port and enters the sea, the fate of the whole ship will be closely linked. Everyone relies on whaling to eat. Although there will be many differences in the levels when they get the final distribution, they will share the same fate on the ship.

From the day they went to sea, they began to chase whales, from south to north, from the Yellow Sea to the North Sea, and through the Tyrannosaurus to the Whale Sea. In this process, the javeliners led sailors to row boats to chase whales, constantly throwing javelins and killing whales.

Just killing one by one...

A month after going out to sea, their ship had already sailed through the Tsushima Strait and entered the Whale Sea. The northwards the weather became colder.

In the afternoon, the sky was covered with clouds and the sea breeze was biting cold.

The sailors wrapped in fur coats walked around the deck, with many floating ice and even icebergs floating on the sea. Just a few hours ago, they had fished the floating ice from the sea according to the captain's orders and threw the ice into the cabin.

"When the weather gets colder, we can throw the ice and open the hatch. God will freeze all the meat into ice..."

Li Si said to Liang Min.

"At that time, at least one hundred tons of meat can be filled. There is meat there, it is clearly money..."

More than one hundred tons of whale meat, that's thousands of taels of silver!

The people on the boat can take 20% of them... In winter, it may be cold, but it is the most popular weather for whalers.

Just as Liang Min was thinking about how much he could divide, a scream suddenly came from the mast top.

"Look!"

The sound came from the lookout hand of the mast head, his body leaning forward, one hand stretched out and pointed to the sea ahead.

"whale!"

The lookout hand screamed loudly, his voice so loud that the whole sea could hear it.

Everyone was attracted by him and looked in the direction of his fingers.

Look quickly.

"It's squirting water! Look! It's squirting water! Look..."

"Just in the downwind, only two nautical miles away from here, there is a large group!"

The lookout hand shouted excitedly.

There was an immediate commotion on the ship, and both of them saw or did not see them became excited.

A large group of whales!

This means they will be able to fill the cabin soon and arrive at the port on the North Sea Island where they will rest for a few days.

"There are at least dozens!"

The lookout hand on the top reported again.

"Come on, catch up!"

The Javelin holding the telescope gave the order.

"Right full rudder."

The captain also ordered loudly...

The ship immediately adjusted its course and followed the direction of his fingers.

The masttop's look was constantly reporting the movements of the whales.

Like others, Liang Min stared at the whales ahead, preventing them from disappearing from sight.

The group of whales seemed to have not noticed them, and ignored them at all, or did not care about them at all.

All the people who were about to get off the boat stood on the deck. As a person who didn't get off the boat, Liang Min could only watch from the side, but his eyes were full of expectations.

Five whaling boats had been hung on the sea and were rippling with the waves on the sea. Despite the biting cold wind, the whaling players took off their coats, climbed onto the side of the side with one foot, ready to jump into the boat at any time. Li Si was in it. When he got off the boat, he glanced at Liang Min and suddenly smiled.

"Brother Liang, do you want to try it on the boat?"

The sudden invitation made Liang Min open his eyes wide in surprise. Everyone else looked at Liang Min with envious eyes. This old man had just arrived on the boat and was a whaler, so he could get a lot of money.

"Try it, try... Yes, but I can, can it work?"

"Who knows if you don't try?"

Javeliner Zhao Laoqiu threw a javelin to Liang Min. Li Si was his apprentice. His apprentice wanted to sell this favor, so he was the master, so of course he had to help him.

"Okay, brothers, get off the boat!"

With the order of Zhao Laoqin, everyone immediately jumped up and jumped over the side of the ship, and jumped into the boat below. The speed was so fast and the movements were so skillful that the laymen would be stunned after watching it.

If it were a month ago, Liang Min would definitely not have been able to get off the boat with such a zipline, but now he is very skillful in his movements.

Soon five small boats rowed out from the stern, and the sailors on the boat waved their arms and rowed the small boat very quickly.

Zhao Laoqian, who was standing upright at the bow of the ship, greeted the pilot javeliners of the other three ships loudly.

"The fourth brother, spread a little, press it up, press it like a fan..."

Under Zhao Laosi's command, the five small boats were like five fingers, and they were streaking into fans on the sea surface, pressing against the whale group not far away.

"Hurry up and drive, brothers, use some more effort... this is all silver..."

Li Si, holding a javelin, stood at the bow of the ship, muttering in his mouth, constantly pissing the brothers on the ship.

His words were very straightforward, and everyone tried their best to pass by, and the picture was just for money!

Not only did he encourage everyone, he also had to guide them in their tracking.

Although he was thirty-six years old, Liang Min still rowed the boat desperately like a young man in his twenties.

The boats were getting faster and faster as they rowed.

The whaling boats on the sea were slid by them like dragon boats closed during the Dragon Boat Festival. They were getting faster and faster. When the waves were pushed, sometimes he even jumped forward on the waves.

At this moment, these sailors chasing whales were like strong men with strong bones and extremely powerful strength. They didn't know how tired they were. They just slid their oars desperately.

Li Si, who was standing in front, was fucking the javelin in his hand. He was calm and calm and stared at the sea, staring directly forward.

"Shake faster and harder, we will definitely be able to catch a few big fish today."

As he shouted, his face was full of murderous aura. Even though he was just a javelin apprentice, it seems that he was no different from other javeliners now.

The small boats on the sea were like sharp swords, rushing straight into the whale group.

This scene is thrilling.

On the endless sea, on the turbulent sea, whaling boats rushed towards the whales, and all the whales fled.

"Brother Li Si, look, the big whale is carrying it on the back, let's give it a bunch."

Without waiting for the sound to fall, the javelin in Li Siqian's hand flew out. He accurately caught the whale's back and the sea suddenly turned red.

Just as the whale blood stained the sea red, Liang Min felt that something suddenly pushed forward at the stern of the boat, as if it was hit on a reef. It was like a huge hand pushing the boat, shaking it around.

In the violent shaking, the sailors all fell into the water, and the sailors who fell into the water swam around the boat.

"Go onto the boat."

Li Si shouted loudly, while he grabbed the rope on the side of the boat and climbed back to the boat. Then he reached out and pulled the others onto the boat.

When they returned to the boat again, the sea water pouring into the boat was already over their knees. They sat inside, and in the howling wind, they immediately felt the biting coldness.

The cold wind was howling and the waves were surging. Like everyone else, Liang Min, who was soaked all over her body, could only struggle hard and endure the biting cold wind.

Everyone's clothes had long been soaked. When the cold wind blew over, these sailors who were like iron-clad men were all frozen and their lips turned blue. Their bodies were trembling and trembling.

"Yes, it's so fucking cold..."

At this time, only by returning to the boat can you change into dry clothes and roast a fire to keep warm, but the "Sky Rich" has gone further and further. Looking at the whaling ships going away, the sailors were almost desperate.

"Damn it, they didn't see us falling into the water at all."
