The welcoming ceremony lasted for several hours, and Wang Lang used the most solemn ceremony to tell the people of Xia that Xia would not treat any meritorious man badly, and that today these honors belong to the expedition team, and tomorrow this glory may belong to everyone.

After the ceremony, Yancheng was still lively.

The officials of the expedition followed Wang Lang and a group of important members of the Great Xia court to the palace for a banquet.

And those ordinary sailors have become low-level officials and the objects of pursuit by ordinary people.

Overseas anecdotes have an unrivalled appeal to them.

Although the sailors used the poorest words to tell what they saw and heard along the way.

But these ordinary people listen to it with relish.

He Tie did not participate in these people, and after the ceremony, he anxiously searched for his familiar figure in the crowd.

But people come and go, and there is no one they want to see.

He Tie sat in the shade with some interest, sullen.

"You... Who are you? ”

A woman's voice suddenly came.

He Tie raised his head suddenly, looking at the woman in front of him whose skin was tanned and extremely rough, and two lines of hot tears flowed down.

Standing up and looking at the woman, He Tie was suddenly at a loss, and he wanted to say a thousand words in his heart, but in the end he just said it softly

"Lady! ”

"It's really you ... You're alive! ”

The woman burst into tears.

"Mother, don't cry!"

As the two stared at each other, a child's voice was heard.

Only then did He Tie notice that there was a timid little boy standing at the woman's legs.

"Lady, is this a mountain?"

The woman nodded, pulled the little boy by, and said, "This is your father, call father." ”

The little boy looked at He Tie timidly, opened his mouth, but did not call out.

The woman frowned and said, "The child doesn't remember you." ”

He Tie sighed and said, "It's okay, let's get familiar with it in the future!" It's okay at home! ”

The woman nodded: "It's all right, our horned dragon has been able to plow the land, the grain grown in the past two years has bought some money, and in the next season, I plan to buy another one, go to the government to apply for a piece of land, it's a pity that the land next to it is barren, reclaim it, plant some potatoes should be able to have a good harvest." ”

After He Tie listened, he smiled innocently and said: "How can one head be enough, come back this time, and when the court gives a reward, we are also rich, at least two heads must be bought." ”

The woman nodded: "It's all up to you, by the way, when will you be able to go home." ”

"It should be a few more days, and when this time is over, I will retire."

"Not going to sea?"

"No, that's enough."

A few days after the expedition returned, at the court meeting, Wang Lang named the Australian mainland Central-earth, while the island of New Zealand was named Penglai.

For Penglai's Zhongzhou, Wang Lang will not give up, and after the courtiers' deliberations, it was decided to open up the exploration rights of these two places to the people.

If you want to quickly turn it into a human territory, in addition to official acts, the power of the people is the greatest.

As soon as this decree came out, the whole country was boiling, and those people in the Xia Kingdom who were not willing to be mediocre seemed to have found a shortcut to the sky.

Call friends, sell property, and get angry with a group of people and horses, and set out in the direction of the new continent.

Soon after the ocean expedition returned, Zhou Yu's expedition also brought the natives to the Xia Kingdom.

This time, the Xia court did not hold a grand ceremony, and the news brought back by the expedition team made Wang Lang very interested.

Wang Lang didn't care much about the monsters that were talked about by the expedition team, as long as they weren't intelligent creatures, just a group of strange wild animals, he didn't have to worry about it at all.

What he cares about the most is that the savages living there and the discovery of suspected gold and silver veins, these are the strategic materials that the Xia Kingdom urgently needs.

Where gold and silver are located, other metals are usually associated with it, most likely lead ore.

At present, there is no metal such as lead in the Xia Kingdom, and the projectiles of muskets can only be replaced by iron bullets.

In this way, the musket was not at all at its most powerful, lured by this resource, and instigated by the militants of the military.

Wang Lang decided to send an army to conquer those monsters and save the Terrans from fire and water.

As for whether it is to save mankind, not many people care, the military thinks that this is an opportunity for their own meritorious service, and it has been peaceful for several years, and the army weapons of Daxia have been updated several times, but there is not much credit for taking action.

Watching the Navy grow and develop day by day, how can the bigwigs of the Army sit still.

For this expedition, the army quarreled endlessly, and after a battle.

Wang Lang announced that Heijiao would be the commander, and led 3,000 musketeers, 500 archers, 20 field guns, 15 dragoons, and 2,000 senior battalions, and set out on a day to conquer the lawless beasts entrenched in the territory of the Xia Kingdom.

An army of 10,000 people gathered in Yancheng and slaughtered to the west.

The people of Xia are naturally proud of the fact that the country has such a strong army, and those natives who came back with Zhou Yu and others admired the strength of Xia and threw themselves to the ground, looking at the distant army, and prostrate on the ground to worship.

And the young man called the rabbit on the stone, his face was also pale, when he came to the Xia Kingdom, he was shocked by the strength of this tribe, and now when he saw the scene of the army that almost changed the color of the world, he was even more desperate to take revenge.

It is simply impossible for him to destroy the Xia Kingdom alone.

Although Xia Guo couldn't deal with it himself, the officer who had ordered the massacre of his own people, he swore to his totem that he would use that person's blood to pay tribute to his dead relatives.

And this decision of his has created a profession in the history of the Xia Kingdom, the assassin! And he is the first assassin in the history books of the Xia Kingdom.

The Xia Kingdom has expanded its territory everywhere, and the once barbaric continent of Shenzhou has long changed its old appearance, and the large carnivorous beasts, under the crazy slaughter of human beings, have moved away from the gathering places of human beings, and the hunters can only see those beasts that make human beings fearful only in the deep mountains and old forests.

Three months after the army set out, with the deliberate support of the government, the civil exploration organization was gradually improved.

Expeditions of all sizes, like locusts, hired a group of experienced sailors at a high price, set out from the port and slaughtered the New World.

At the same time, the first electric light in the world was officially lit in the Great Xia Palace.

The arrival of Wang Lang, a traverser, has not made the trajectory of civilization develop according to the mode it should have, and it is not so clear whether this era belongs to the electrical, firearms, iron, or primitive era.
