When Captain Dog saw a majestic horizon, he was about to cry with happiness.

He immediately used a sextant to measure latitude and longitude, and sure enough, it was the west coast of Australia!

Captain Dog shouted, "Ten days, ten days, we will reach Best City!" ”

When the sailors heard this, they all laughed loudly.

When the news reached the other ships, the entire fleet was enveloped in jubilation.

Except for a small storm in Dongsha and Nansha, the rest of the voyage was smooth sailing, haha, it's really good!

At the same time, Captain Dog Gnawing also received a new hydrological report from his men, and the current here was indeed flowing north along the coast.

He concluded at that time that this must be the cold snap in Western Australia mentioned by Wang Defa's family!

Thankfully, it was a faint cold snap and the wind was blowing in their favor.

Not at all worried, they continued to measure the hydrology as they slowly sailed south along the coast.

They know that their data may be used by countless seagoing vessels in the future, so it is important to be detailed and accurate.

Captain Gnawing Dog knew in his heart that if it was a difficult and dangerous new route, Wang Defa's family would not send him but would send him to the Navy.

Western Australia's vast sea area is a sight to behold.

The next thing was simple, and eight days later they found the mouth of a large river flowing westward.

But it didn't seem to be quite consistent with the latitude and longitude given to him by Wang Defa's house, and the captain of the dog gnawed and they observed it, and estimated that the Tamsui River was at least two hundred meters wide, similar to the Badao River, but the water at the mouth of the river was more slow.

He sent sailors in three small boats to survey the hydrology and observe both banks, and the entire fleet stopped at the sea near the mouth of the river to wait for a report.

The men in the flotilla were trying to look towards the shore, but the thick coastal trees obscured their view.

It wasn't until more than three hours later that a sailor came back to report that they had gone up about five kilometers and had not seen any signs of human habitation, all kinds of water birds, and no black swans.

Captain Dog knows that the latitude and longitude here are inherently wrong.

But the hydrological situation reported by the sailors was good, and the depth of the center of the river allowed the five-masted sea vessels to enter!

He hesitated, then left behind a three-masted sea-going ship and told them to continue their way up the river to observe until he sent someone to pick them up.

The rest of the ships continued southward toward the correct latitude and longitude.

A day later, they found the right spot, but there was only a creek less than ten meters wide!

Captain Gnawing Dog scratched his head at the time, Wang Defa was wrong? This place is not at all suitable for them to dock and develop!

He didn't believe that Wang Defa's family would be wrong, so he sent out to investigate.

The report of the sailor's return disappointed him, and the creek could not even be entered by the three-masted ship!

The rest is similar to the previous big river.

There is no Swan River here, and there are no docile indigenous ------ what to do?!

Captain Dog Gnawing thought about it for a while, and made a ruthless decision, no matter what, the sea ships should be placed first, and the personnel would put down the boat, anyway, you can get here by land!

He resolutely gave the order, and all of them returned to the mouth of the great river!

On the return voyage, they were a little slower, and it was almost two days before they regained their approach to the estuary.

The sailors they had left behind reported to them that in the middle of the great river they had found a large area of so-called open forest steppe, but that the five-masted ships could not move.

Captain Gnawing Dog was overjoyed after hearing this, if there are also sparse grasslands there, then they must be connected with the grasslands at the correct latitude and longitude, Wang Defa's family will not be wrong, maybe it's just that the amount of water in the Black Swan River has become smaller?

He counted the distance, gods, what a steppe this is!

Eventually, he weighed it in his heart and decided to stop here.

A new campaign of deforestation has begun.

Captain Dog didn't burn the wasteland, because the season was wrong, and now it's really as hot as the summer on Liuqiu Island!

Their fleet sailed into the estuary, the five-masted ships temporarily docked downstream, and the three-masted boats continued on their way.

Everyone got busy, and all the people, whether they were Tatars or anywhere, got off the boats, went to cut the grass, went to cut down the trees, and in three days they were going to build the improvised river wharf!

The arrival of people broke the silence and frightened the waterfowl everywhere.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Captain Gnawing Dog couldn't help but think of their construction at the Wenlai Estuary.

At that time, there were fewer of them than they are now, but they were all professional laborers, unlike now, although there are many of them, but the scene is chaotic-------

The expressions of the members of the Liuqiu Army who came with them began to become serious, and they all carried large bolt guns on their backs, and began to make rounds around non-stop, carefully supervising the work of those people.

Since the tools were given to those people, they felt that their security was under a lot of pressure.

The leader of this team was named Dai Weiming, and he was one of the first people to join the army, and he not only had combat experience, but also had more experience in supervising labor labor.

As soon as he learned that he was going to be stationed there, he immediately dispatched three reconnaissance teams of 10 people in three directions, southeast, south, and north, and on the first day of landing, he had to find out the situation within 20 kilometers of the perimeter.

The three team members were all dressed as jungle combatants, and their clothing was different from that of the army members.

Captain Davimmin discussed with Captain Dog in advance, and he believed that it was necessary to develop a group of reliable sailors and provide them with the necessary weapons, which would not only increase the strength of the battle, but also invisibly add a supervisory force to those prisoners.

Captain Dog readily agreed, and he began to choose himself, and eventually, along the way, he actually picked out three hundred of what he thought were qualified helpers, and named them "Maritime Militia".

The labor situation on the first day disappointed the captain of the dog gnawing team.

The site cleared by thousands of people and the trees that were cut down fell far short of what had been planned.

The Tatars, though they had just recovered their bodies, had a better attitude to work than the members of the underworld!

On the first night, they all had to go back to the ship to sleep.

Under the kerosene gas lamp, Captain Davigin and Captain Gnawing Dog had a meeting.

Captain Gnawing Dog shook his head and said:

"This can't be done, it's so slow to build a dock area, I don't know how long it will take to build Best City!"

Captain Dai Weiming said with a smile: "Those people are more slippery than the previous prisoners of war, it seems that everyone is working, but they can't work!"

Wait a minute, I will inform my team members that tomorrow we will increase the intensity of supervision, and some people will not be able to smoke him without rattan! ”

Captain Dog said: "I didn't mean that, it seems that I still have to learn the methods of the master's family." Well, tomorrow we will split them into four teams, led by your team members, and I will set a specific number of tasks for them to complete, and then formulate corresponding rewards and punishments-------"

Captain Dai Weiming immediately nodded in agreement, and said: "The three reconnaissance teams I sent have come back to report, there are basically no people within more than ten kilometers around here, and I can scatter the team members!" ”

Late at night, there were probably never so many ships docked on this great river.

The sails had already fallen on the ship, and they all seemed to be drowsy.

The men were also sleeping soundly, unaware that two of them were figuring out how to deal with them.
