waited until July, Swan was finally called back by the communication soldiers sent by Luo Youde, he looked a little miserable, he was covered in gray, his clothes were tattered, but his spirit was not bad, and he knew how to grin after seeing Hong Tao, which showed that he was not tired at all.

"I can't go to the north, it's all the Gobi Desert and desert, I can't see a single person when I go out for dozens of kilometers, I die of heat during the day and freeze to death at night, there are stinging things everywhere, poisonous insects are everywhere, and more than 10 people have bitten of me to death. Your Majesty, did you say that I didn't reach the end of the world? After the past, is there really the great plain that you talked about as far as the eye can see? Swann didn't even take a bath, so he dragged Hong Tao into the tent of the barracks, opened the map he drew by himself and put it on the table, began to complain to Hong Tao, and by the way questioned Hong Tao's arrangement. When Hong Tao left, he told him to keep going north, through the desert is the steppe, where the cavalry is the world.

"The end of the fart, I mean let you explore the north side, you are good, you don't have to turn around and head to the north, you don't know what is on either side. I said, are you kid anxious when you see my founding of the country, afraid that I won't give you land if it drags on for a long time, and you want to find your own place quickly, and then you won't work for me? I can make it clear to you, whether you have your own land or not, you still have to do the work, including me. The construction of this place is just to use this place as a base, the climate, resources, and topography of Sun City are not suitable for large-scale construction, don't think that I take care of myself and leave you alone. Hong Tao figured out Swan's mind with his own thief's eyes, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Hey, hey, hey...... It's not like I've never been a king, and I'm anxious to try something. You've been the emperor, of course you're not in a hurry, or you let me be the king here for a few days, and you'll have a good time. As a result, Hong Tao really said that Swan just wanted to find his own territory, and he had to start first, and he wanted to find a good place to occupy it first.

"Look at your little bit of interest, is this thing borrowed? In the future, try to say as little as possible about this useless nonsense, I don't care, not necessarily others don't care. Go to rest first, I'll take you to find it in two days, the veteran will go out of the horse for a top two, I promise to find it, I can't find it, I'll give it to you! "Swanzhen is not a qualified king, he is just a blank for soldiers to fight, he is too straight in thought, straight in character, and even more straightforward in speech.

"Ahh You go too! Why don't you draw me a picture and I'll find it myself...... You see that you are getting older and older, and it is not easy to walk on the road, you can't eat well, you can't sleep well, I'm afraid you're tired. As soon as he heard that Hong Tao was going to follow him to find the territory, Swanby was still frightened when he saw the desert, and he found all the reasons why he didn't want Hong Tao to go.

"If you don't want to go with me, then we will split into two ways, you take the land route and I will go to the sea, and then meet at the beach I designated. Now disappear from front of me immediately, I see you annoyed, and I don't have the heart to plan the route. Even if he knew Swan's character and didn't care about his nonsense, but let others hate him so much, Hong Tao's heart was not happy, and his eyes immediately turned triangular again, which was a precursor to madness.

"Understood! Got it! You must find me a good place, and if I have a daughter, I will marry the rat as a daughter-in-law, and we will be in-laws. Swan also felt that it was not appropriate to hate Hong Tao in person, whether he could have a good territory or not depends on Hong Tao's thoughts, and he had to pat himself on the back.

"Fuck me off! Who is in-law with you! You have to call me uncle now, even if my son marries your daughter, I have to descend to another generation. Say one more word, and the desert will be yours! Hong Tao really didn't want to talk to this heartless thing anymore, so he grabbed the map, crumpled it up, and threw it at the back of Swan's head.

"Your uncle! Dare to hide, I ...... "It's a pity that Swan seems to have eyes on the back of his head, tilts his head slightly, lets go of the paper ball, and gets out of the tent with a cat's waist, without giving Hong Tao a chance to pull out a gun."

A week later, Swann marched again with his army. This time it was still to the north, but with the final destination, he no longer planned to cross the desert to the north, but after descending the plateau, he headed west, according to the latitude and longitude given by Hong Tao, and went straight to the mouth of the Rio Grande, where Hong Tao would lead a fleet of ships to wait for him.

This is a new plan made by Hong Tao, it is too far to explore the North American continent from land, it is impossible to build a supply point in the back all the time, and the amount of work is too large. If it were another way, Swann would lead the cavalry to explore from the land and follow along the seashore with his own fleet, then the big problem of logistics and supply would be solved.

Sun City has a total of nine Exocet-class ships and three Salmon-class ships, and Hong Tao plans to take more than half of them to form a sea expedition fleet. Walking around the Gulf Coast, while providing logistical support to Swan, while carefully measuring and measuring the hydrological data here, by the way, you can also systematically train these Indian sailors. Although they have been working on whaling ships for several years and have the ability to sail long distances, they still talk on paper on the issue of naval warfare, and they have to teach them many things again, and they will practice all the way.

The Rio Grande, the boundary river between the United States and Mexico in later generations, is on the south bank of the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas, and on the north bank of the river is the Texas of the United States. In his previous life, Hong Tao came to this river to fish, and the old American Dan family who met at a fishing tournament lived in Laredo, but unfortunately there is definitely no city now.

Texas is surrounded by prairies on the Gulf of Mexico, just like Inner Mongolia in China. Moreover, the folk customs here are similar to those of Inner Mongolia, simple, fierce, enthusiastic, conservative, and religious. Western cowboys are a specialty of Texas, but most of the movies are played in the era of western development, when Hong Tao went, he couldn't see the cowboy with two revolvers hanging on the belt, but the taste was still there, and it was very strong.

Later generations of Texas cowboys rode horses, but they usually changed to high-power pickups and modified into various large motorcycles, among which Harley was the most. If you're driving down a Texas highway as far as the eye can see, you'll suddenly see a couple of howling motorcycles with pale riders and tight leather suits covered in metal. Don't deliberately avoid them, and don't look at them with the kind of eyes that look at the little hooligans, otherwise the originally enthusiastic Texas uncle will instantly turn into a rampaging old cowboy, and you won't have a place to cry when you smash your car.

These uncle-level riders are not motorcyclists, most of them are serious people, maybe one of them is a university professor or a company owner. They just love the feeling of being free to gallop, don't judge a person by what they wear, and the word "judging people by their appearance" is especially not applicable in Texas.

Of course, there is no Texas yet, which is neither part of Mexico nor of the United States. Hong Tao intends to include this rich land in his kingdom, but looking at the map, it seems that it is a bit too big, and the good things cannot be taken by himself, so it is better to divide them. To whom? Swann is the most suitable, he likes horses, loves horses, and he will not reject animal husbandry. Give him this place, raise horses and cattle at will, and develop cavalry is also his forte, which is just right.

The most important thing is that with Swan staying in the north of his kingdom, Hong Tao is much more at ease. Although this child does not speak well and has a very strange personality, Hong Tao thinks that he is one of the people who will not turn his face with him, and his ambition is not great. Maybe after a few years as king, he will be annoyed himself, let alone invade other people's lands.

For long journeys, sea ships are much faster than cavalry, and the farther the road is, the more obvious it is. Ten days later, when they arrived at the designated coordinate point, the shore was still quiet, with no fire or smoke signal, and it was clear that Swan's cavalry was still staggering in the mountains and tropical jungles.

"Go ashore and set a fire, light the woods on the north side of the estuary, and then find the largest tree, engrave this coordinate, and draw a mouse's head, and the river will belong to our kingdom of Mexica, and the north side of the river will be given to him!" Idle is also idle, wandering around the neighborhood for a few more days, Swan has not yet appeared, Hong Tao plans to mark the boundary pillar first. The prairie has no place of its own, the Rio Grande has to belong to itself, and there is also a grassland on the south bank of the river, where it is good to raise horses in the future.
