The British have only begun to develop Australia in recent years, and they have power in Sydney City, and now after the British such as Viscount Dalgrass have been wiped out, it also represents the collapse of British power in Australia!

Australia was initially under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

About two days later, Yan Yingyuan and his Ming army escorted Viscount Dalgrass and other 1,300 Britons back to Sydney.

When the natives who were originally working saw this scene, they immediately cheered and ran over to watch.

There were even angry natives who threw stones at the Britons such as Viscount Dalgrass.

"Poof! Poof"

"Ahh

Two Britons were hit on the spot, one of them was smashed directly on the head, and half of his face was immediately stained red with blood, and he stopped there on the spot and covered the place where he was smashed and groaned.

Not only were the other Britons stunned, but Viscount Dalglas also turned pale.

It is also to blame that the British such as Viscount Dalglas were too cruel to these natives at the beginning, only giving one meal a day but having to do coolies all day long, how many natives were tortured to death like this, coupled with the hatred of the tribe, all the natives here hated them to the core.

"Stop them!" Yan Yingyuan saw this scene, and saw that the natives had an increasingly fierce Zou trend, and immediately ordered the Ming generals around him.

Yan Yingyuan didn't care how much hatred the British and natives such as Viscount Dalglas were, he only knew that since the Britons such as Viscount Dalglas had become prisoners of the Ming Dynasty, they would also bear the coolies of the Ming Dynasty's development of Australia in the future.

More and more natives picked up stones from the ground and shouted to be thrown at the British, Viscount Dalgrass, which frightened Viscount Dalglas and the other Englishmen.

"What are you doing, put down the rocks at once! Bang! Bang! "When the Ming soldiers received the order, they quickly raised their guns, and in order to achieve the purpose of deterring the natives, they also fired two shots on the ground.

The crisp sound of gunfire startled the surrounding natives, and they looked at the Ming soldiers with fearful expressions, even if they couldn't understand the language of the Ming soldiers, they knew that the Ming soldiers would not allow them to continue to stone at the British.

Seeing that the natives were stopped, Viscount Dalgrass and the other Britons breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go!" The Ming soldiers behind him urged Viscount Dalgrass and the other British to leave quickly.

Even without the urging of the Ming soldiers, the British such as Viscount Dalgrass wanted to leave this place quickly, now they had no muskets in their hands, and they were prisoners of the Ming army, so they could not deter these young and strong natives who had been forcibly captured and tortured by their broken tribes.

The young and strong natives were supervised to continue to work, although the Ming army would not be as cruel as the British, and wanted to have a good relationship with the natives, but it also required the natives to cooperate.

And the natives were once tortured and scared by the British such as Viscount Dalglas, and saw that the Ming army defeated the British and proved that they were more powerful and terrible than the British, and the natives were also afraid of turning their faces against the Ming army, afraid that the Ming army would one day become as cruel as the British, so as long as the Ming army showed a little anger, they would immediately restrain themselves and dare not continue to mess around.

After the Briton such as Viscount Dalgrass was taken into the city of Sydney, they were immediately divided into five parts and imprisoned separately.

In the afternoon of the same day, Viscount Dalgrass and other Britons, under the supervision of Ming soldiers, began to work as coolies with the natives to expand the city of Sydney!

As captives, the British were not treated as well as the natives, not only did they have only two meals a day, but they also had to work six hours a day, two hours more than the natives.

Such an obvious contrast caused protests from the British, but unfortunately, as prisoners, their protests were ineffective, and the protests would only cause violent beatings by the Ming soldiers, and in the end they could only be accepted tragically.

Compared with the sorrow of the British, the natives were full of joy and a lot more relaxed.

Now, Yan Yingyuan and other Ming troops have initially controlled Australia, and the situation here naturally has to be reported to the Ming court as soon as possible, and ask for the next step of the court's arrangement.

Immediately, Yan Yingyuan wrote a memo and brought it back to the Ming Dynasty through the South China Sea Fleet.

About a month later, Zhu Ci stumbled to receive Yan Yingyuan's recital.

"Okay, great, take Australia, my Ming Dynasty's expansion is over, and the results are also rich, counting the four southeastern countries and Luzon Island, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded by nearly half compared to the original!" Zhu Ci stumbled and laughed after watching Yan Yingyuan's recital.

"Your Majesty, if you follow the new algorithm, the current territory of the Ming Dynasty should have exceeded 20 million square kilometers, right?" Li Yan thought for a while and said.

"No, the current territory of the Ming Dynasty should be 24 million square kilometers!" Zhu Ci smiled and corrected.

As early as this expedition to Myanmar and other southeastern countries and Australia, the Ming Dynasty completed a partial reform, that is, the measurement of road and territorial area, because the railway was opened on a large scale, and the cement roads through the counties were basically built, and the old measurement method was obviously not applicable.

For example, if you take a train from Nanjing City to Beijing City, it is 1,123 kilometers, and if you ride a horse or drive a carriage on a cement road, it will be 1,126 kilometers, completely banning the original li.

In order to help the people identify the direction of the road, the destination and distance to which it leads, etc., there are signs at each intersection.

In addition, in terms of territory, the size of the territory was calculated according to the number of miles within a radius.

For example, if you have a radius of 100 miles, you will have a dot as the center, and if you have a diameter of 100 miles, you will have a radius of 100 miles.

In the past, the method of measuring the territory of the dynasties was very simple, generally from the southernmost to the northernmost, and the distance of 10,000 li was 10,000 miles. This measurement is not accurate, after all, roads are not straight.

According to the current Ming Dynasty, it is even more difficult to establish, after all, the Ming Dynasty has to cross the sea from south to north, if it is really calculated as before, the territory of the Ming Dynasty must not be forty or fifty thousand miles of rivers and mountains, so Zhu Ciji according to the algorithm of later generations, calculated according to square kilometers, the current territory of the Ming Dynasty is 24 million square kilometers.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Li Yan congratulated.

The current territory of the Ming Dynasty is five times larger than that of the Chongzhen period, and Li Yan's congratulations are undoubtedly sincere and worthy of his congratulations.
