"Dad, will we go back to Chang'an now?" After dealing with the affairs in Europe, it was already the end of summer, Li Hao asked the people around him to pack their things, and they were ready to go back to Chang'an.

"Yes, I'm back in Chang'an. I've been here for two years, and I've been to all the places I need to go, and I've played where I should be. We're going home now. After hearing this, Li Hao replied with a smile, in the two years here, his descendants have two more.

There is no way, this era is like this, there are no restrictions on fertility technology, and Li Hao is still young, so it is not uncommon to give birth to so many.

At this time, Li Ke sent him the latest will, asking Li Hao to go to Africa to have a look, something went wrong there. After Li Hao received the will, he asked the people, in addition to Li Hao wanting to go over, he also had to bring a group of Tang troops over.

After the plague on this side of Europe was exhausted, it inevitably affected that side. After the people here were driven crazy by the plague, they began to frantically attack some strongholds in Datang. The Tang Dynasty has many strongholds in Africa, which were originally set up to sell Kunlun slaves. Over the years, these places have now been used as bridgeheads to observe and survey the situation in Africa. However, although the firepower of the stronghold is very strong, there are not many people deployed.

Now that they are being attacked by these people, the situation in many strongholds has become precarious. The imperial court sent firepower and manpower to these strongholds by sea, but because they were worried about the situation here, they asked Li Hao to go over and have a look. From the past of Europe, it is much closer than the past of the imperial court.

"You take the train back to Chang'an first, and I'll have someone escort you back. It's too hot in Africa to take you there. After receiving the order, Li Hao thought about it for a while, and asked his woman to take the child back to Chang'an first, and he went over with the army to have a look, and then took a boat back to the central area of Datang from there.

Although Li Hao's several women were reluctant, they also knew Li Hao's character, and he said that where he couldn't go, the environment over there must not be very good. Otherwise, with Li Hao's character, he would definitely take the group to go over there and eat some delicious food over there by the way.

Africa is bordered on all sides by the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, with the exception of the north-east, which is connected to the Arabian Peninsula in western Asia by the Isthmus of Suez, which is about 30 kilometres wide. This side is now occupied by the Tang Dynasty, which dug the Suez Canal and communicated with the European side.

This is a plateau continent with an average altitude of 750 meters. The terrain slopes from southeast to northwest, with mountains of more than 1,000 meters in the southeast and low-lying basins and deserts in the northwest. Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania is the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 meters above sea level.

Most of Africa's mountains and highlands are located in coastal areas, hindering communication between the interior and the coast. The coastline of western Africa is relatively straight, but it is full of shallows, and the lack of harbours and islands that can be used as stopovers affects Africa's movement with other continents. There are many rivers in Africa, such as the Nile, Niger, Congo (Zaire), Zambezi and Orange, etc., but due to the undulating terrain, the rivers are many rapids and rapids, and some rivers are difficult to navigate.

The famous Sahara Desert runs east and west through northern Africa; The world-famous Great Rift Valley is about 6,400 kilometers long, 1,000 kilometers deep, about 200 or 300 kilometers wide, and has many lakes and volcanoes, which are not conducive to transportation and connections between the inland regions of Africa. This is the reason why Li Hao didn't let his woman come with him, the environment here is not good.

Africa is also a tropical continent with high temperatures, dryness and little rainfall. The equator runs through the middle of the continent, and the climatic zones on both sides are symmetrical. Three-quarters of Africa is tropical, mostly subtropical, and only a few alpine regions have temperate climates.

The Mediterranean coast of North Africa and the apex of South Africa have a Mediterranean-type climate, and although they cover less than 10% of the total area of Africa, they are important agricultural crop areas. Desert areas, which make up 40 per cent of Africa, are hot and arid, lacking in life. Tropical forest areas cover 18% of Africa's land and are concentrated on both sides of the equator and along the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa.

The vast area south of the Sahara Desert and north and south of the equator is a savannah region, covering 40 per cent of Africa's total area, and due to insufficient rainfall, there is little arable land, and only some cash crops can be cultivated after reclamation.

It is also a continent with very rich natural resources. Mineral resources are very abundant, among which the reserves of non-ferrous metals and rare metals are the largest. Southern Africa has the world's largest reserves of diamond, gold, chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese and asbestos. There are many rare metal species in the Congo River Basin in Central Africa, and it is known as the "gem of Central Africa".

West, North and Southern Africa are home to large reserves of oil, natural gas and coal. Hydropower resources are abundant, accounting for about 1/5 of the world's hydropower reserves. Forests and fisheries are also abundant, and along the Atlantic coast, from the Strait of Gibraltar to the southern tip of the Cape of Good Hope, the entire area is a world-famous fishing ground, especially along the coasts of Angola, Nigeria, Senegal and Morocco.

Xi Jun bought them and arranged for Li Hao to be the capable soldiers they had drawn out, and the firepower output was also the fiercest. There is basically no war to fight on the European side now, and they are stationed here more to intimidate those around them, and as time goes on, when there are fewer and fewer aborigines here, they will slowly start to withdraw their troops.

Africa is not in the Tang Dynasty's offensive plan now, according to the imperial court's meaning, it will wait until Europe is completely digested before using force on this side, but this unexpected event disrupted the entire plan. Now that there is a serious threat around the Suez Canal, these must be dealt with toughly.

You must know that over the years, few countries in the entire world have dared to argue with Datang. The European Union called, they are now running out of hair, the whole population is reduced by two-thirds, and now it is the turn of these Kunlun slaves.

"These women have always been kept in the barracks, no one has touched them, and they are kept for the prince. This time, the prince went to Africa, and there was no one to take care of him, so he happened to take them over. After sending off his woman and child, Li Hao prepared to leave for Africa.

At this time, Xi Jun bought them and sent a few women to Li Hao with a cheap smile, which were the European princesses who had a discussion with Li Hao one night. Li Hao couldn't refuse, and the women were all sent to his ship. This time he used to take a boat, then go to the Mediterranean Sea to the Suez Canal, and land there.

To be honest, except for that night, Li Hao doesn't even know the names of several women now. However, apparently during this time in the barracks, these women have been trained in some aspect and can actually speak a lot of Chinese, and Li Hao only knew the names of these women at this time.

"I've seen the Master." After going ashore, Li Hao took the army to the governor's mansion here, and the chief officer here was still Li Hao's student, and the student who had studied with Li Hao had a very close relationship.

"What's going on on your side?" Li Hao didn't say much politeness to him, and asked about the situation here. Li Ke asked him to bring troops over, just in case, there were actually a lot of troops stationed here because of the canal.

As soon as the local tribes attacked, the troops on this side quickly rushed to support each other. asked Li Hao to come over because Li Ke was worried that there would be a loss here, and the person he trusted the most was Li Hao, plus the short distance, so he asked Li Hao to come and have a look.

"It's not a big problem on our side, although the attacks of those tribes are fierce, their weapons are too backward. Together with the support of the army on both sides of the canal, everything is now under our control. However, because of the canal, we did not fight back, so we had to hold our position first. ”

Li Hao's students introduced their current situation, not because they are not capable of fighting back against the past, but because it is more important for them to defend the canal. If it weren't for this reason, it is estimated that these people would have been killed long ago.

"Well, you're doing a good job. Then it's our turn to counterattack, and I've brought 5,000 troops over, and it's up to you to decide how to arrange it. I don't know the situation here, so I won't command blindly. The dog that dares to bare his teeth at my Tang Dynasty, we will never let go. But if it's not because of the plague, these tribes that participated in the attack must all be wiped out! ”

It's completely the entire African territory into the Tang Dynasty, this imperial court is not ready, and the talents for administrative management still need to be reserved, so this will not be for the time being. But if you want to teach a few tribes and small countries that have bared their teeth in the Tang Dynasty, this Li Hao will not be polite.

Next to the Suez Canal is Egypt, a country that has long been beaten by the Tang Dynasty, and now it can only survive. What kind of pyramid or something like theirs, this Li Hao has explained, don't move it for the time being. When technology develops in the future, there may be some unexpected accidents now.

That thing is very magical, and there are many references to it in later generations. So these places were sealed for the time being, and no one touched them. For the people of Datang, things that have nothing to do with Datang civilization are either sealed or destroyed.

It is not realistic for the pyramids to be destroyed, and it is not possible to transport them back to China, so they can only be sealed on the spot. After Li Hao arrived here, he just looked at the things here from a distance, and didn't go over to see them. What kind of sphinx, he just looked at it from afar.

This part of Africa is very strange, although it has always been relatively backward, but in fact their civilization is not bad, it is said that the common ancestor of the entire human race came from this side, why did it become like this in the end, this is a very strange phenomenon. Li Hao has seen a lot of information in this area in his later generations, and he has always been a little taboo about this side.

Some of the historical relics here are also very taboo to him, so he won't approach them at all. In the future, if there are archaeological experts who are not afraid of death, these things will be left to them to study, anyway, Li Hao himself will not touch these things.
