Chapter 185: A Trip to the Americas

After this day's hunting, Ming Jian shot hundreds of prey, including thylacines, kangaroos, and several firebirds.

But the kangaroo is not so easy to shoot, these guys jump very high, and if they are not careful, they will release empty arrows.

Back to the palace in the evening, it is naturally a barbecue feast, according to the techniques of modern society, Ming Jian will wear these animals into skewers, so that everyone can come together to skewers.

was eating well, Jin Wushu also came back, saw Ming Jian, and immediately said: "Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, can you give us the Jurchens here, this place is very good, and the foreign ministers drool." ”

Jin Wushu really likes this piece of Australia.

Ming Jian said with a smile: "This is the territory of the King of Australia, you don't have to fight its idea, and the American continent and the African continent have not been seen, we will set off in a few days, and it is also good there." ”

Jin Wushu is very depressed, this place is better than the Great Sunda Islands that I saw before, it is simply a paradise for the Jurchens, you can farm, you can also nomad, you can also hunt, but unfortunately, this is already the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Next, after Ming Jian played in Australia for more than ten days, in addition to hunting, there are also exploration mines, Australia's mineral resources are very rich, in addition to the most useful gold and iron ore, there are natural gas, oil and other resources.

It's just that according to the current level of science and technology, there should not be much chance of oil being extracted.

Zheng Sen has already sent people to mine the mines, one gold mine and two iron mines, and the locals have been conscripted as laborers, but they are still paid for work, which makes people motivated.

After having had enough, Ming Jian continued his journey to the Americas.

This time, there were more people accompanying him, and there was the Mayan kingdom on the American continent, where the armed forces were very strong.

Therefore, Ming Jian brought a thousand people this time, Wang Qingqing and two stupid women, Keiko Hashimoto and Yui Takeshita, also followed, serving Ming Jian all the way.

In order to prevent the steam engine from breaking, at the beginning, they all hung sails and went forward, and their luck was quite good, and they did not encounter strong winds and waves.

After a few days of driving, I found the island in front of me, and the area is not small.

"This should be the New Zealand of the future, right? Now it looks quite desolate, there are no people, Ying Xiang, send people ashore, inject the stone tablet of the Great Song Dynasty into the ground, first show our sovereignty, and then turn back and conquer here. Ming Jian said to Yue Yun.

"Yes, official." Yue Yun said.

Soon, a huge stone tablet stood on the coast, and the word "Great Song" on it made Jin Wushu look greedy.

"Is there anyone willing to stay and conquer here? If there is, I will make him King of New Zealand, haha! "Ming Jian suddenly came up with an idea, anyway, with so many people, if someone is willing to try, then he doesn't mind making him a king.

This is not child's play, but to take the opportunity to expand the territory, there is a saying that it is better to come early than to come by chance, although the Maori are the masters of this land, but the Great Song can conquer them, conquest means that advanced civilization will come to this land, and conquest means that Maori can live a better life.

A soldier shouted: "The official family, the little Song Xiaobo, is willing to stay and conquer this land for the official family!" ”

"Well, I really didn't read it wrong, the sons of the Great Song Dynasty are all good, Song Xiaobo, I will do what I say, I will make you the king of New Zealand, you immediately choose people, after you go ashore, I don't care about you." Ming Jian smiled.

Song Xiaobo said happily: "Thank you for the gift of the officials, the ministers will live up to their mission and return this land to the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Song Xiaobo immediately selected a hundred soldiers, went ashore with weapons and equipment, and immediately bid farewell to the Ming Sword and headed straight for the land.

"This kid is good, he has a lot of momentum. Ying Xiang sent someone back to Australia and sent a message to Zheng Sen and asked him to send someone over to answer it. Ming Jian said.

Yue Yun said: "Yes, official." ”

There were small boats on the steam ironclad ship, and Yue Yun quickly let one go down and sent people back to Australia, while the fleet continued to move forward.

Now the direction of sailing is towards South America, but at this time the wind and waves began to get stronger, and the huge waves swayed the ironclad ships, and from time to time seawater poured into the cabin, which made people afraid.

Fortunately, the ironclad ship has a strong ability to resist attacks, the hull is very strong, and there are no problems at all.

Seeing the bad weather, Ming Jian ordered to find a place to stay and dock, and a day later, the fleet found a small island, and Ming Jian immediately ordered to dock over and wait for the wind and waves to pass.

The island is uninhabited, but there are animals and plants that look similar to the Australian continent, which further confirms that the Australian continent was once connected to the American continent.

Everyone went to the island and waited quietly for the weather to improve.

After more than ten days, the wind and waves gradually subsided, and Ming Jian ordered to turn on the steam engine and continue to move forward.

Now, the speed is much faster, and the fleet is moving along the wide sea, although the sailing distance is very long, but the speed of the steam engine ironclad ship is not slow, if everything is normal, it should be another ten days to reach South America.

After a few days, the fleet docked on a small island to rest, sailing on the sea, it is easy to make people feel tired, even if Ming Jian has such a strong physical fitness, he feels very tired, and Wang Qingqing and the other three women are even more unenergetic.

There were people on this small island, but the Song army quickly controlled them all and brought one person over.

Ming Jian looked at it, isn't this an Indian? This person is still somewhat similar in appearance to the Han Chinese, and it is historically said that the Indians migrated from Asia, and maybe they are really the same ancestor as the Han people.

"Can you understand Chinese?" Ming Jian asked the Indian.

The Indians were speechless, the American continent was too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and in this era, there should be no communication with the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally they couldn't understand Chinese.

Seeing such a scene, Ming Jian was speechless, it seems that he can only bring these Indians back to the Great Song Dynasty, train them well, and let them know Chinese, so that they can build a bridge between the Great Song Dynasty and the Americas in the future.

Ming Jian ordered to go down and treat these Indians well, and distribute food and dried meat to them.

The Indians felt the kindness and came out of their panic.

Judging from the living conditions of the Indians, Ming Jian found that although they were still in a backward state, their farming skills were still good, and the form of the tribe transitioning to the kingdom was more obvious, and this small island was a tribe with a population of more than 3,000 people.

In order to appease the hearts of these Indians, Ming Jian ordered the Song soldiers to marry the unmarried women of the Indians, and after communicating with the leaders of the tribes and giving a dowry, the tribal leaders were very satisfied with this important exchange activity, and the two sides held a grand wedding together.

Ming Jian himself married the daughter of the tribal leader, this woman is quite cute, but her skin is darker and she is wheat-colored, and Ming Jian simply calls her wheat.

After the candle in the cave room, Maizi fell in love with Mingjian, since ancient times, women like strong men, Mingjian with such a group of fierce troops, naturally belongs to the strongest of the strong, Maizi likes Mingjian very much.

It took Ming Jian several days to finally teach Mai Zi some Chinese dialect, and through the comparison of real objects, Ming Jian also began to understand some things about the Indians.
