No one cared about Lu Li and Mu Chaobi's awards, but... Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's titles made the eyes of all generals in the world turn purple.

Fuck!Us rough warriors also have their day?

Taking a closer look at the process of Qi Jiguang and his fortune, people immediately discovered that they followed the Duke of Yue, Lu Li, to make their fortunes!

The Duke of Yue is a famous general in the world, and his achievements are shining in the annals of history. Following such a big boss must be a good way out!

Therefore, military generals from all over the Ming Dynasty sought out various relationships and favors, and sent letters to Lu Li's sect, begging Duke Yue to support him.

Lu Li really looked down on these generals.

If it had been a year or two earlier, Lu Li would have welcomed it very much.But now... you generals who have never received military training and don't understand new military tactics are already behind the times.

Lu Li didn't give up on them completely, he pointed out a way out for them, let them go to Jinshanwei to receive military training for half a year, and arrange work after passing the qualifications.

If someone can complete the training, of course Lu Li will use it.If you don't go, it's no wonder I'm there.

……

"Master, where will we fight next time?"

In the mansion at the port of Mumbai, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, who had just received their titles, found Lu Li here excitedly.

"Tasted the sweetness, can't sit still?"

Lu Li smiled, opened another map, and headed west from the direction of Tianzhu, "This is Persia, here is Dashi, here is Heizhou, here is Suez, and behind it is Western Franz. Wherever you want to go, you can do whatever you want." beat!"

"It's so far away...it's too difficult to fight on land."

Yu Dayou looked at the map and smiled at Lu Li, "Master, it looks like we are going to organize a fleet."

"Hey, what are you talking about secretly?"

Just as he was talking, Mu Chaobi, the Duke of Qian, came in, "Don't forget me if something good happens!"

"We are discussing to carve up the world!"

Lu Li smiled and said, "In future battles, it's unrealistic to fight on land. The fleet will be the main force. The three of you, form a fleet and fight westward along the coastline of Tianzhu!"

"As for me……"

Lu Li pointed to Australia, then to America, "I'm heading east."

"Good! Haha! Good!"

The three warmongers laughed.

……

Since the development of Nanyang, the shipbuilding industry of Daming has developed rapidly.

Except for ships driven by steam engines, all kinds of sailboats emerged in an endless stream.

The armed merchant ships of the Spanish duck people have long been figured out by the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty, and they have built even larger ocean-going sailing ships.

As long as the breech-loading artillery produced by Lu Li's Jinshan Gun Factory is installed, it can become a powerful sailing warship.

Although such warships were not comparable to Lu Li's destroyers, they were already much stronger than Western countries' sailing warships.

In Lu Li's plan, sailing warships with breech-loading cannons were suitable for Qi Jiguang and others to march into the West.Because...the steam battleship needs to burn coal, and it is difficult to find coal supplies if you go far away, so it is impossible for the sailors to disembark to dig coal, right?

Lu Li didn't need to do that.

The islands of Oceania are dotted with naval bases, and each base stores coal, ammunition and various supplies, which is very suitable for steam warship activities.

Now, Lu Li's naval base in Oceania has been built in Guinea.From Guinea to the south is Australia.

Along the Australian coastline, all the way to New Southwest, build a base in New Southwest, and use it as a springboard to reach South America.

This plan is naturally feasible.

Next, Lu Li recruited soldiers from various bases and laborers from Tianzhu, and began to march towards Australia.

Today's North Sea, East China Sea, and South China Sea have completely become the inland seas of Ming Dynasty. Bases like Qiongzhou Bay Island no longer need to station tens of thousands of troops.

Only 300 soldiers were left in various bases. Lu Li mobilized [-] troops, brought [-] destroyers, and more than [-] Galen-type armed transport ships, and set off on the journey again.

From the base in Guinea to Australia, it is almost across the sea.Across the Torres Strait is Australia.

This is the famous tourist attraction in later generations - the Great Barrier Reef.

After crossing St. Paul Island and Turtle Island, the fleet easily arrived in Australia and landed at the later Yijinnuo Port.

A brightly colored banner of the sun and the moon is stuck on the cliff behind Yijinnuo Port, and the banner of the sun and the moon is waving in the wind.

"As a reminder, this place is called Australia, and it is the sacred territory of Ming Dynasty since ancient times!"

Lu Li set foot on the land of Australia and looked at the kangaroos bouncing in the wilderness in the distance, with a smile on his face.

The guards around him nodded repeatedly, "What the Duke said is absolutely true. If you say this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, then it must be the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times."

"Hahahaha!"

The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter.

Since ancient times, the grandpa of the country has indeed been a bit scary.Jiaozhi Annan has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, the north of the Great Wall has been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, the Nanyang Islands have been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and Tianzhu and Australia have also been the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times.

As for whether it will continue from ancient times, it depends on whether the Duke of the country thinks about that place.

Chapter 4 They are the descendants of the Shang Dynasty, they are my Ming compatriots

"Australia is no smaller than the Central Plains."

Lu Li climbed up to the mountain behind Yijinnuo Port, and stretched out his hand to draw a circle, "This area is not only rich in resources, but also a natural pasture."

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

In addition, the Australian grasslands are natural pastures.Just throw some cattle and sheep into it. Without natural enemies, the reproduction speed will be terrifying.

You know, even rabbits are a disaster in Australia in future generations!

Of course, under the current conditions of Ming Dynasty, it does not yet have the ability to fully develop Australia, and only needs to occupy it.

A garrison was left at Yijinnuo Port, some supplies were unloaded, and [-] Tianzhu laborers were assigned to build the Yijinnuo base. Lu Li led the fleet to continue southward.

The supply and follow-up construction of the Yikinuo Port Base will be supplemented by materials from the opposite Guinea base.

Along the coastline of Australia all the way south, two bases were set up in the later Sunshine Coast and Sydney.

After leaving behind the garrison, supplies, labor and part of the fleet, Lu Li led the rest of the fleet across the Tasman Sea and arrived at New Southwest Frington.

New Southwest Farrington will serve as Lu Li's forward base for going to South America.

Various materials were unloaded, troops were stationed, laborers were stationed, the transport fleet began to return, and continued to transport various materials from Southeast Asia for the construction of bases in Australia and New Southwest.

Under the command of the army, the laborers began to use the masonry and cement transported by the transport ship to build ports and buildings.

Of course, building brick kilns, cement kilns, and even planting potatoes and other crops nearby is also a must.

There are also coal mines near Frington.Although it is not a large coal mine, the coal and bricks and cement used to maintain the destroyer fleet are still sufficient.

There are almost no people in Australia and New Southwest in this era.

There are only hundreds of thousands of aborigines in mainland Australia, and even fewer in the New Southwest.Today, Frington, with tens of thousands of laborers and [-] troops, is already the largest population gathering area in New Southwest.

Then there is the crazy infrastructure.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the true nature of infrastructure madness still cannot be lost.

……

While Lu Li was busy with infrastructure construction, Duke Qian, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were also organizing a fleet and preparing to head west.

Because of the problem of coal burning, Qian Guogong and the others followed Lu Li's suggestion and did not use steam destroyers, and they couldn't get so many steam destroyers either.

Today's Zheng Yuan has built the Nanyang Shipyard at the Da Nang base, and all its production capacity is used to build steam passenger ships and Galen-style armed transport ships.

Jinshan Shipyard, in addition to the continuous production of Zhenhai destroyers, is also producing Galen-style armed transport ships.

Even so, the orders of Qian Guogong and the others were too large. After three months, Zheng Yuan could only deliver a hundred Galen-style armed transport ships.

Fortunately, the technology of Galen ships has been mastered by private shipyards all over Daming.Of course, under Lu Li's instruction, Zheng Yuan spread the word widely.

Today's Daming Sea, Fuchuan with a small load capacity has long been eliminated, and has become an offshore transport ship for the Nanyang Islands.Ocean shipping was mainly new treasure ships and large Galen ships.

The huge market in Tianzhu made Daming Marine Merchant desperately develop the shipping industry, for fear that there would be insufficient cargo ships and load capacity.

Under such circumstances, Daming's shipbuilding industry was very developed.The purchase of Galen ships by the three of Qian Guogong went smoothly.

These Galen ships, as long as they are taken to Da Nang or Jinshanwei Shipyard to install artillery, they will become powerful sailing warships.

In June of the 43rd year of Jiajing.

Mu Chaobi, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou formed a huge fleet consisting of [-] large Galenic armed transport ships, filled with guns and ammunition, nautical supplies, fully loaded with [-] troops, and set sail for an expedition to the West.

For this kind of warship, which can carry thousands of tons of cargo and 24 soldiers, and is equipped with [-] breech-loading cannons, it is called a transport ship by Lu Li, and the three of Duke Qian scoffed.

Is this still called a transport ship?Whose transport ship has such fierce firepower?You can't see how much it is loaded, so let's call it a transport ship, right?

"start sailing!"

Duke Qian was in high spirits, pointing his knife to the west.

Behind him, huge ships raised their sails and headed west along the coastline of Tianzhu.

The huge fleet braved the wind and waves, and soon arrived at the first stop of the Western Expedition - Persia.

It's just... the situation in front of me is a bit complicated.

The ports and towns along the coast of Persia are full of dilapidated scenes, as if they have encountered a war not long ago.

When this huge fleet with the sun and the moon flag was advancing along the Persian coast, the Persians on the shore screamed in horror and fled in embarrassment.

"What's the situation?"

Qian Guogong just felt confused and a little confused about the situation.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou looked at each other, and they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.Obviously, this is the consequence of Duke Yue expelling the Japanese pirates.

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

The fleet continued to move forward. When everyone arrived in the Persian Gulf and arrived at Abbas Port, a pitiful "fleet" appeared on the sea ahead.

If the small sampans that these Ming fishermen no longer use are also called fleets, the size of the fleet is still not small!There are hundreds of ships.

"This kind of small sampan, when we move forward, the waves are a bit bigger, will they be overturned?"

Qian Guogong felt dumbfounded.I'm here to fight in all directions, what the hell is going on with this fight?

"Call that Tianzhu interpreter over and pass on a message to him."

Duke Qian waved his hand, "Tell them! We are the Ming Fleet, and we are here to hunt down the Japanese pirates and protect the waters of the Ming Dynasty. Persia is also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, so it should be protected by the Ming Dynasty."

"Uh... Grandpa, when did Persia become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty?"

Qi Jiguang's eyes widened.

"I care so much? Lu Li's move is easy to use, so let's use it!"

Qian Guogong glared at Qi Jiguang.

"This... What the Duke said is actually correct."

Yu Dayou held back his laughter, and said solemnly: "Back in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Persian Protectorate. Now...although it has been a little longer, there is still something to do with it! Persia is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. wrong!"

"Not to mention that far away, the eunuchs of the Three Treasures must have been here when they went to the West. They must be members of the Ming dynasty."

Qi Jiguang immediately became enlightened.

"Hahahaha!"

Qian Guogong laughed loudly, "Well said! Go, let the interpreter go over, just tell them that!"

Therefore, Tianzhu Translator took a small boat to the Persian "fleet" and expressed his intention to the Persian commander.

The Persian commander raised his beard when he heard this.

The Ming Fleet, this identity has been understood.

Daming is a great empire that is so powerful that it is frightening. 100 years ago their fleet had already arrived here.The shadow of the sail that covers the sky and the sun still makes people tremble.

Now, they are back and stronger.It is said that Tianzhu next door has been blown up by the Ming army.

I also understand the pursuit of Japanese pirates.
