Chapter 414

"The area of Australia is no less than that of the Central Plains."

Lu Li boarded the mountains behind the port of Ejinnuo and made a circle. "This area is not only rich in resources, but also a natural pasture."

Australia has the world's largest resources of gold, iron ore, lead, nickel, rutile, silver, uranium, zinc and zirconium, the second largest resources of bauxite, lignite, cobalt, ilmenite and tantalum, the third largest resources of copper and lithium, the fourth largest resources of thorium, and the fifth largest resources of black coal and manganese.

In addition, the Australian grassland is a natural pasture. Just throw some cattle and sheep in. If there are no natural enemies, the breeding speed will scare people to death.

You know, later generations of Australia even rabbit disaster ah!

Of course, with Daming's current conditions, it does not have the ability to develop Australia in an all-round way. It just needs to occupy it.

A garrison was left at the port of Ejinnuo to unload some materials and allocate 10000 days of labor to build the Ejinnuo base. The army and the fleet continued to go south.

The supply and subsequent construction of the ejinno port base will be supplemented by the guinea base opposite.

Along the Australian coastline all the way south, respectively in the future of the Sun Coast and Sydney, set up two bases.

After leaving the garrison, materials, labor and part of the fleet behind, Lu Li led the rest of the fleet across the Tasman Sea and arrived at the new southwest Wellington opposite.

The new Southwest flyington will serve as a forward base for land departure to South America.

All kinds of materials were unloaded, troops were stationed, workers were stationed, the transport fleet began to return, and continued to transport all kinds of materials from the Southern Ocean for base construction in Australia and the new southwest.

Under the command of the army, the workers began to use the bricks and cement transported by transport ships to build ports and buildings.

Of course, it is also necessary to build brick kilns, cement kilns, and even plant potatoes and other crops nearby.

There are also coal mines near Wellington. Although it's not a large coal mine, the coal and brick and cement used to maintain the fleet is enough.

There are few people in Australia and the new Southwest in this era.

There are only a few hundred thousand aborigines in the Australian mainland, and even less in the new southwest. Now with tens of thousands of workers and 30000 troops, Wellington is the largest population gathering area in the new southwest.

And then there's the crazy infrastructure.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the nature of the infrastructure maniac could not be lost.

……

While Lu Li was busy with infrastructure construction, the Duke of Guizhou, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were also organizing a fleet to advance to the West.

Because of the problem of coal burning, the three men of the state of Guizhou followed Luli's advice and didn't use steam destroyers, and they couldn't get so many steam destroyers.

Today, Zheng Yuan has built Nanyang shipyard in Danang base, all of which are used to build steam passenger ships and Galen armed transport ships.

Besides Zhenhai destroyers, Jinshan shipyard is also producing Galen type armed transport ships.

Even so, the number of orders from the Duke of Guizhou was too large. In three months, Zheng Yuan could only deliver 100 Galen armed transport ships.

Fortunately, private shipyards all over Daming have mastered the technology of Galen. This, of course, was widely spread by Zheng Yuan at the instigation of Lu Li.

Today's Daming sea, the small carrying capacity of the Fu ship has long been eliminated, has become the southeast islands of coastal transport ships. Ocean transportation is mainly new treasure ships and large Galen ships.

The huge market of Tianzhu makes Daming maritime merchants develop the shipping industry desperately, for fear that there are not enough freighters and insufficient carrying capacity.

In this case, Daming's shipbuilding industry is very developed. The purchase of Galen by the three men from Guizhou was very smooth.

These Galen ships are powerful sailing warships as long as they are taken to Danang or Jinshanwei shipyard to install artillery.

In June of the 43rd year of Jiajing.

Mu chaobi, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou set up a huge fleet composed of 400 large Galen type armed transport ships, full of guns and ammunition, navigational supplies, and 50000 troops to sail out to the sea and expedition to the West.

For this kind of warship, which can carry thousands of tons of goods and 500 soldiers, and is also equipped with 24 breech guns, it is called a transport ship by Lu Li. The three men of the state of Qian scoff at it.

This is called a transport ship? Whose transporter is so powerful? If you can't see how much it's loaded, call it a transport ship?

"Set sail!"

The general will of the state of Qian was strong and pointed to the West with a knife.

Behind them, big ships sailed westward along the coast of Tianzhu.

The huge fleet soon arrived at Persia, the first stop of the western expedition.

It's just The situation is a little complicated.

The ports and towns along the Persian coast were full of ruins, as if they had been in a war not long ago.

When this huge fleet with the flag of the sun and the moon was marching along the Persian coast, the Persians on the coast were so frightened that they screamed and ran away."What's the situation?"

The Duke of the state of Guizhou only felt that he was full of fog, and some of them could not understand the situation.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. Obviously, this is the result of the expulsion of the Japanese pirates by the Duke of Yue.

The Japanese pirates who were driven away by Daming had already beaten Persia severely.

The fleet continued to move forward. When people arrived in the Persian Gulf and came to the port of Abbas, a pathetic "fleet" appeared on the sea ahead.

If these sampans, which are not used by Daming fishermen, are also called fleets, the scale of the fleet is not small! Hundreds of ships.

"This kind of small sampan, when we move forward, the waves are a little bigger, so we have to overturn them?"

The state of Guizhou has the feeling of being unable to laugh or cry. I'm here to fight in all directions. What's so special about fighting?

"Call the Tianzhu interpreter over and talk to each other."

The Duke of Guizhou waved, "tell them! We are the Daming fleet. We are here to recover the Japanese pirates and protect the Daming sea. Persia is also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and should be protected by the Ming Dynasty. "

"Well Prince, when did Persia become a vassal of Daming? "

Qi Jiguang's eyes widened.

"I care so much? Lu Li's move is easy to use. Take it and use it! "

The Duke of Guizhou glared at Qi Jiguang.

"Well In fact, what the duke said is right. "

Yu Da You restrained a smile and said solemnly: "in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Persian capital protector. Now Although the interval is a little long, how much can be related! Persia is the vassal of Daming, that's right! "

"Not to say that far away, the eunuchs of the three treasures of our Dynasty must have been here when they went to the West. They must be the vassals of the Ming Dynasty. "

Qi Jiguang was immediately enlightened.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Duke of Guizhou burst out laughing, "well said! Go, let the interpreter pass, and tell them so! "

Therefore, Tianzhu Tongyi took a boat and went to the Persian "fleet" to show his intention to the Persian commander.

The Persian commander's beard curled.

Daming fleet, this identity has been understood.

Daming is a great empire that is so powerful that it makes people tremble. Their fleet arrived here a hundred years ago. The shadow of the sails blocking the sky and the sun is still shuddering.

Now they are back and stronger. It is said that Tianzhu next door has been destroyed by the Daming army.

I understand the pursuit of Japanese pirates.

Half a year ago, that terrible fleet, those ferocious pirates who robbed everything, should be the so-called Japanese pirates.

Only Daming, a powerful and terrifying Empire, can drive those cruel and terrible Japanese pirates away.

But Since ancient times, Persia has been a vassal of Daming? Hundreds of years ago, the eastern empire set up the Persian capital here? Does the Daming fleet come to protect the sea border and the Daming vassal state?

What the hell is this? Your protection Can I refuse?

"Boom!"

In the distant sea, a warship launched a volley, and the violent explosion blasted out huge water columns.

Well, Daming's protection can't be refused!

The Persian commander's face turned blue and white. He said to the interpreter, "I want to report to the king. Make sure you don't attack. "

"I understand how you feel."

"But You don't have much time. Believe me, Persia can't afford Daming's anger, just as we Tianzhu can't afford it. "

"I Understand

The Persian commander's face was dignified and nodded seriously.

In the following high-level talks, the Duke of Guizhou did not put forward too harsh conditions.

He asked the king of Persia to submit a petition, asked the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to allow Persia to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and granted the title of the king of Persia. The sun and moon banners of the Ming Dynasty were hoisted in all the cities of Persia.

It is required that the port be allocated to the Daming garrison to protect Persia. They also allowed Daming merchants to trade in Persia.

Other demands, such as disbanding the army, were not mentioned. After all There are still many places to fight, so we can't divide our troops to garrison in all the cities of Persia.

Under the threat of strong ships and cannons, the Persian king had to face the reality and accept the protection of Daming.

So Following the fleet, Daming maritime merchants found a huge market of tens of millions of people, and all kinds of merchant ships swarmed in.

Persia's done, and the food next door will not escape.

Across the Persian Gulf is the cannibal. When the fleet was blocked in the port of Kuwait, the cannibal also accepted the same conditions as Persia.

Another Carnival of Daming maritime merchants! Dashi is also a huge market with tens of millions of people.

Wherever the fleet went, it was a feast for the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, the fleet of the Duke of Guizhou continued to move westward from the Red Sea to Suez, and then came into contact with the huge market of Egypt.Build a base in Suez and trade can spread north. All countries along the Mediterranean coast are interested in Daming goods.

Black state in the South Daming sea merchants are at least better than Xiban duck people and grape duck people. They can't do slave business.

……

The construction of Luli base was initially completed when qianguogong and his three men traveled across the Western oceans.

It has to be said that most of the land in Australia and the new southwest is suitable for agricultural production. Around the base, crops such as potatoes and corn grow luxuriantly.

Ports and towns built of cement and masonry have begun to take shape. Three hundred transport ships kept on transporting, and a large amount of materials were accumulated in various bases.

Everything is ready to set sail.

In October of the 43rd year of Jiajing, it was a beautiful spring day in Australia and the new southwest of the southern hemisphere.

On this day, Lu Li led 50 destroyers and 300 large Galen type armed transport ships, loaded with a large number of materials, took 30000 soldiers and set sail all the way east to South America.

From the new southwest to Chile in South America, there is still a long distance across the Pacific Ocean.

Fortunately, Luli has filled the destroyer with coal and loaded a large amount of coal on the transport ship, otherwise, the destroyer's voyage will not reach the Chilean coast.

In late November, the departing fleet arrived off the coast of Chile.

During this period, the siban ducks had colonized America, slaughtered and enslaved the Indians of the American continent.

When the land fleet came to the port of Monterey in the south of Chile, dense ships almost covered the whole coast.

This Xiban duck colony is full of chickens and dogs.

Hundreds of warships constitute a huge fleet, too scary.

"Sir, we Do you want to fire? "

The XIBANYA artillery stationed at the port Fort inquired about the officers nearby.

"No! God, don't fire

The officer turned pale with fright. "Don't you see they have fewer ships? Once you fire, we'll all die. "

"I see, sir!"

The artillery swallowed his saliva and nodded.

"Sir, which country's fleet is this? How come I've never seen it before? "

Looking at the hundreds of warships on the sea and the sun moon flag flying above, the artillery could not understand where the fleet came from.

"I don't know."

The officer shook his head. "The only thing you can be sure of is that they're not the XIBANYA."

In the harbor.

The colonial governor of port Mont looked up at the strange warships in the harbor. His face turned pale and his forehead began to sweat.

The Western fleets of this era are all pirates, burning, killing, looting and doing everything.

The arrival of such a huge fleet, port Mont It's over.

It's just that he has to come out and get in touch with this fleet. The other side has not launched an attack so far, indicating that there is still the possibility of communication.

At this time, a smoky warship came to the port dock, the gangway was lowered, and several soldiers in black, carrying a bright red flag, stepped on the dock with neat steps.

The flag was planted on the dock, and the flag of the sun and moon was flying in the wind.

Under the protection of a team of guards, Luli stepped on the land of South America.

"How do you do, sir! May I ask what you're coming for? "

At this time, the colonial governor of monteport came up to say hello to Lu Li.

Spanish?

In order to read the latest scientific research literature, Lu Li also studied German, French, Spanish and other languages in the scientist plot, so it is not a problem to communicate with this Spanish official.

"You're asking me what I came for?"

Lu Li said to the man in Spanish: "Ben Gong, Yue Gong of the Ming Empire. Because of the bullying and slaughtering of our Daming compatriots, we hereby launch a crusade. Those who violate our great power will be punished even if they are far away! "

Daming Empire? A Duke?

Spaniards naturally know the great Ming Empire in the East and the weight of a duke.

It's just Killing Daming compatriots? Spain's tentacles in the Far East have not yet reached the coastal waters of Daming. Where have they slaughtered the Daming compatriots?

"Sir, is there any misunderstanding?"

"No misunderstanding!"

Lu Li pointed to the shackled Indian slaves in the harbor and said to the Xiban duck official, "see? They are my Daming compatriots

"Oh no No

The Spanish official shook his head again and again, "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood me. They are Indians, not Daming people. "

"You are wrong! They are my compatriots of Daming! "

Lu Li looked serious. "Three thousand years ago, in a dynasty called Shang, a group of Shang people fled to America. The Indians you are talking about are descendants of the Shang Dynasty. They are my compatriots in Daming! "Three thousand years ago?

Spanish officials look dull! Oh, my God! Is there any reason for more bullshit?
