Chapter 608: Developing the New World
The Australian continent is now called the Southern Wei Continent, or the Southern Wei Continent.
The first stop that Gao Shun and others arrived at was deviated from the later city of Darwin, but arrived at Joseph. Bonaparte Bay, Gao Shun and others looked for an estuary to dock, opened the system map, and found that there was a large lake in the southeast, and a plateau in the southwest.
Gao Shun had the impression that the south and east were very suitable for human habitation, and other places were not suitable for large-scale development, so he continued south along the west coast and prepared to spare the entire island.
Gao Shun was prepared to refer to the experience of Hainan Island, as long as he controlled the coastal area, the entire island would belong to him, and he would not have to go to the inland area of the war, which would save a lot of trouble; And now his systematic map shows an area of 512 km, as long as the straight-line distance between the coastal strongholds does not exceed 512 km, it can be considered that his territory is continuous.
Building a castle is an indispensable thing, each castle is square, the side length is 1 mile, as long as everyone helps dig the foundation, the rest of the things will be completed by Gao Shun and others, the speed is very fast.
Only 5,000 men remained in each castle, half male and half female; Among the men, the number of soldiers and craftsmen is equally divided; While the army is responsible for defense, it also needs to open up territory, open up wasteland and cultivate land.
As long as it encounters an estuary and is suitable for survival, Gaoshun will establish a base to ensure that the distance does not exceed 500 kilometers.
Occasionally found red dots on the map, Gao Shun always did not hesitate to send cavalry to encircle and annihilate.
When they saw outsiders, these natives were extremely alarmed.
Due to the language barrier, it is difficult to get them to submit, so they can only kill until they have no power to resist, and then they will be captured by the few survivors.
Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh, the process of development is the process of conquest, since it is conquest, killing cannot be avoided; As for the fate of the natives thereafter, they were similar after being conquered by any foreign race, and could only be reduced to slavery.
The indigenous people here are also occasionally from other continents, and have lived quietly here for tens of thousands of years, but unfortunately have not developed a civilization, and are still in a tribal primitive society, living by hunting and fishing.
However, all the natives within 500 kilometers of the coast were annihilated or captured as slaves, which is also a very precious human resource, and it should be avoided as much as possible.
Fortunately, there are few indigenous people in the northwest, the tribal population is small, and the strength is very weak, so it is very easy to clear up.
Australia's biological varieties are relatively single, and Gao Shun has left cows, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc. for each castle for them to raise; In terms of crops, as long as it is a variety owned by Wei, the corresponding seeds are left to facilitate the expansion of planting.
There was enough food left behind for them to feed for two years, as well as a large amount of iron and cotton cloth.
The first big city built was Feng Yongcheng, and the country built was Feng Guo, located in Perth in later generations; It has a Mediterranean-like climate, which is very suitable for human survival. All the castles established before were under the jurisdiction of Feng Yongguo.
The terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, the irrigation is convenient, and the climate is suitable, and people quickly like it.
Gao Shun made a provision that the pure Han people were the first class, the mixed-race people were the second class, and the local natives were the third class.
The second- and third-class people were not allowed to study culture, were not allowed to engage in politics, and if they joined the army, they could not be promoted to officers, but could only be slaves or coolies.
Gao Shun now has enough points, and he only left 30,000 men and women in Feng Yongcheng.
Animal husbandry and cropping were the first to develop, and Gao Shun believes that within a year it will be self-sufficient.
After four months of construction, there were finally good results, and everyone reluctantly continued to move forward.
The next big city was Adelaide in later generations, Gao Shun was named Qin Guancheng, and the country was Qin State, with the same scale and system as Feng Yongguo.
It also has a Mediterranean-like climate, which is ideal for human survival.
Qin Guan couldn't help but say with emotion: "Your Majesty, there are still such good places in the world, I really don't want to leave; It's too far away from our Wei State, otherwise, why fight for such a small territory in the Central Plains? ”
Gao Shun said: "Let's lay a good foundation here first, I believe that when the sea route is smoothed in the future, there will be a large number of Han people who will come to live." ”
Qin Guan smiled and said, "Haha, Your Majesty, we are also benefiting the world." ”
Gao Shun is also in a good mood, no wonder Australia is so rich in later generations, the population is sparse, and the only agricultural areas can produce a large number of agricultural products, and the areas that are not suitable for agriculture can develop animal husbandry, and there are rich mineral deposits here, and it is difficult not to be rich.
In the past two years, Gao Shun and others went around the Southern Wei Continent.
After that, in the later generations of Melbourne built Gao Wei City and Gao Guo, in order to avoid disputes, Gao Shun also divided the border for them to avoid their conflict, as for how much of a role it can play, it is not Gao Shun can consider, anyway, in the future this is the Han people's sphere of influence, cheap outsiders.
The country is located in a temperate maritime climate, which is very suitable for human activities.
In the later generations of Sydney, Maguicheng was established, known as the city of Malaysia, which has a humid subtropical climate and is also very suitable for human survival.
In the later Brisbane, Li Qiangcheng was established as the Li State.
In the coastal area to the north, only a number of small castles were built as independent city-states.
To Gao Shun's surprise, the number of natives in these coastal areas was very small, and he didn't understand why the natives didn't fight these areas with a pleasant climate. Instead, they are concentrated in large numbers in the northern savannah zone, which is not suitable for human survival.
It was not until Gao Shun and others arrived in Darwin that they built a solid stone city there, named the Southern Wei Kingdom, hoping that it would become a bridge connecting the Southern Wei mainland and the Wei Kingdom.
The whole continent was divided into six countries, according to the six major parts of what would later be Australia.
Gao Shun estimated that the natives came here by chance from other continents, and the first place they arrived was the Southern Wei Kingdom, but because of their narrow range of activities, they were hindered by the harsh climate and could not migrate over long distances.
Gao Shun and others while building the Southern Wei City, while waiting for the upgrade of the system, after more than two years of hard work, finally to the harvest moment, everyone is very excited, the construction momentum is greater.
Ma Gui's purpose is not to promote local development, their goal is very simple, that is, to fight the territory and obtain upgrades; If the upgrade is successful, their mission is complete.
Ma Gui was impatient now, and asked Gao Shun: "Your Majesty, where is our next goal?" ”
Gao Shun smiled: "Haha, what's the hurry, let's talk about it after the upgrade is completed." He has confirmed that it will be upgraded as soon as the time comes, the coastal areas of the previous war lords have been connected, and they are slowly expanding to the inland areas, and after the Southern Wei Kingdom is closed, the entire continent will be his territory, and the upgrade is more than enough.
Li Qiang smiled: "Haha, Your Majesty is just too cautious, there are no more than 100,000 natives in the entire continent, and some of them live in inland areas, there are hundreds of thousands of people we arranged, how can the natives resist?" Upgrades are a sure thing. ”
Gao Shun ordered: "Our next target is the Kushan Empire, everyone must be mentally prepared for a hard battle." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The crowd was very happy.
Gao Shun is still unsure whether the next upgrade will require another five million square kilometers of territory, so he did not specify the time of the next upgrade, and he ordered: "You discuss the travel arrangement as soon as possible, and hope we get there as soon as possible." ”
Everyone was not worried about this, there were detailed maps and charts, and it was very easy to reach the Kushan Empire, it just took time.
