As early as Zhao Hongyu led the fleet to leave Jinshan, he separated eight warships to the southern waters of the Pacific Ocean. The purpose was to find Australia, a continent with a vast territory and rich copper and iron ore resources, before the Europeans.
So far, almost half a year has passed since Zhao Hongyu dispatched this small fleet of eight warships.
And this small fleet lived up to expectations and found Australia, and established a large settlement in the southeast of Australia.
It¡¯s a pity that the commander of this fleet is not allowed to use the trading device, so the development here in Australia is definitely not as good as that in Jinshan.
But no matter what, Australia is now in the hands of Zhao Hongyu.
Although the Song Empire only established a settlement in Australia, the population in the settlement was not very large.
However, in name, Australia already belonged to the Song Empire.
In the future, no matter whether Europeans or anyone else comes to Australia, as long as they do not get the permission of the empire, the empire can use various means to crack down and expel them.
Of course, Australia¡¯s territory is not small, and its coastline alone is very long.
If someone really wants to land, the empire will not be able to detect it for a long time.
But now that Europe is experiencing frequent wars, it is simply impossible for those Europeans to focus their attention and energy on the ocean again in a short period of time.
At the same time, even if they set their sights on the ocean, according to normal history, it would be decades before Australia was discovered.
Therefore, the Song Empire can rest assured and has enough time to plan and occupy the entire territory of Australia.
This fleet commander, who was dispatched by Zhao Hongyu six months ago to find Australia, has the same name as a modern star in another time and space Wu Zhenyu.
Even, they even look the same.
Wu Zhenyu, with his fleet, went through all kinds of hardships and finally landed on Australian land, and built a simple fortress within half a year.
The natural environment here in Australia is well preserved and has rich forest resources.
Therefore, the wood for building the camp can basically be collected from nearby, which saves a lot of work and trouble.
??And what¡¯s more, the place where Wu Zhenyu landed with his fleet was actually the seaside southeast of Sydney, the capital of Australia in later generations. It was not very far from Sydney at all.
¡° If Wu Zhenyu takes his soldiers and at least explores a little, they can find that place.
However, considering that the number of soldiers under his command was not very large, and their material reserves were not very sufficient, Wu Zhenyu gave up the idea of ??exploring the hinterland of Australia.
He considered that as long as a settlement was established here and marked on the navigation chart, it would be enough to let commanders with authority develop it in the future.
It cannot be said that his idea is wrong.
When he discovered Australia and landed, he drew a nautical chart and accurately marked the coordinates. He immediately sent a warship back to Jinshan and handed the chart to Wang Shan.
After all, Jinshan is the closest to Australia, and it is also the closest place to get supplies.
After making these arrangements, Wu Zhenyu began to lead his men to begin the construction and defense of the fortress in an orderly manner.
The natives living near Sydney have long been aware of the arrival of Wu Zhenyu¡¯s uninvited guests.
And Wu Zhenyu also understood that their arrival would inevitably arouse the ideas of these indigenous people.
However, he did not want to conflict with these natives, so under Wu Zhenyu's order, the genetic soldiers rarely left the fortress, or they left the fortress too far.
The skin of the Australian aborigines is not as dark as that of Africans, but rather dark brown.
Judging from their appearance, they are also very different from Africans.
¡°But because they are indigenous people and have different languages, Wu Zhenyu doesn¡¯t like to deal with them very much.
He also has his own considerations. After all, if there is any misunderstanding, unnecessary conflicts will not be good.
And, as long as there is contact, there will definitely be such misunderstandings.
However, although Wu Zhenyu¡¯s idea was good, he underestimated the curiosity of these indigenous people on the Australian island and their own attraction.
Just in Wu ?In the dense jungle not far from the fortress built by Yuyu, there lived an indigenous tribe, the Maojista tribe, with a number of about 6,000 people.
Since Wu Zhenyu¡¯s fleet docked and landed, these people from the Maojista tribe would hide in the jungle and observe Wu Zhenyu and the others every day.
These native people are full of curiosity, fear, doubt, and even a little excitement.
¡°Compared to the Indians on the American roads or the black tribes on the African continent, the indigenous people living in Australia are relatively gentle.
Otherwise, after the discovery of another time and space in the 18th century, the British would not have been able to completely control Australia with just a few groups of exiled prisoners.
It also shows how low the fighting ability of Australia's indigenous people is.
For outsiders like Wu Zhenyu, the people of the Maojista tribe feel a little scared from top to bottom.
However, after a period of observation, they found that these people who looked different from them and used powerful tools did not seem to be 'beasts' or monsters as they imagined, and the indigenous people gradually became more courageous. got bigger.
The first contact between the Empire and the Australian Aboriginals is a bit funny to say.
No matter what age they are, children are always the most curious and courageous.
The breakthrough point of contact between the two parties was also because of the children.
At that time, hiding in the forest to observe Wu Zhenyu and the others every day had become a new entertainment activity for the Maojista tribe.
So, many children come to hang out nearby.
At this point, I don¡¯t know what happened. A nearby kangaroo suddenly went crazy and chased a little girl from the Mauojista tribe, kicking and beating her.
As we all know, Australia is not only rich in gold, silver, copper and iron minerals, but also rich in super-large rabbits, kangaroos and koalas.
Needless to say, the super big rabbit can be almost as big as a seven or eight-year-old child when it reaches adulthood, and it is very fat.
However, this kind of rabbit's attack power is not strong and it is not a ferocious beast.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This is a naive and slow-moving little guy with no attack power at all, and is basically a mascot-like existence.
However, the kangaroos among the three ¡®overlords¡¯ on the Australian continent are different.
The kangaroo's lower limbs and legs are very advantageous. If it kicks a person, it can kick the person to death.
¡°That¡¯s not all, its two short arms can still swing like a human boxer, just like a qualified boxer.
????????????????????????? And it¡¯s not a light thing to take so many blows.
Therefore, the kangaroo's offensive ability is very powerful.
How could that little girl from Maojista be a kangaroo's opponent?
Especially the sudden attack launched by Algebra, which came out like this, but the children did not expect it.
Faced with this situation, the children of the Maojista tribe who came out to observe this time fled one after another.
¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s so painful for that little girl.
After the stout kangaroo saw the other children running away, he spotted the unfortunate little girl and chased her down.
Kangaroos are not very fast. If they run at full speed, they can reach a speed of eighty or ninety kilometers an hour.
So, how could that little girl who was only eight or nine years old be able to outrun a kangaroo?
What happened to the little girl was immediately discovered by the sentry on the watchtower of the fortress.
¡° Moreover, the little girl was bullied so much by the kangaroo that her life might be in danger if she was left alone.
So, under the order of the sentry squad leader on duty at the time, a squad of ten soldiers rushed out of the fortress.
After all, they are animals and have no brains.
The tall and thick kangaroo was not afraid at all when he saw so many people coming.
Maybe it thinks it is invincible now.
So, after it abandoned the little girl, it actually launched an attack on ten rushing Gene Soldiers.
When it came out just now, the children couldn't handle it, so they ran away.
Originally, this kangaroo thought it would be the same as before.
"It's a pity that it made a mistake in its calculation. These people on the opposite side are not the children just now."
??The genetic soldiers¡¯ bayonets are clear.He stabbed it hard, and finally the kangaroo fell to the ground and died of cramps.
Poor guy, I don¡¯t know what he would have thought about before he died if he had some thoughts.
The genetic man has no interest in knowing what the kangaroo thinks.
?????????????????????????? There are not many kangaroos on the Australian continent at this time anyway, so it¡¯s not a big deal if one of these dies.
In this way, the genetic soldiers rescued the child back to the fortress and bandaged her.
That kangaroo¡¯s ¡®fists and kicks¡¯ were so powerful that one of the little girl¡¯s arms was broken.
Fortunately, we met the imperial army. Otherwise, there would be no way to treat the little girl¡¯s arm, and she would have to become a disabled person in the end.
And when the empire rescued the little girl, all this was seen by the children hiding nearby.
They ran back to the tribe one by one and told the parents and elders of the tribe the news.
At that time, the tribe was in chaos.
Because they didn¡¯t know how those guys with black hair and eyes would treat the little girl after they took her away.
??Maybe it will kill her.
What¡¯s even more coincidental is that the little girl¡¯s identity is not ordinary.
Since she is one of the eighteen daughters of the leader of the Maojista tribe her identity is not ordinary. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
