Australia, the most important iron ore mining area in later generations.

The richest iron ore here, even from Hainan and Vietnam, is at the end of this vein, and it is one of the best ores in the world.

Best of all, set up a base here and soon be able to reach the Hawaiian Islands and then travel to the Americas. And the best thing is that Australia was just discovered in 1606, but it was only discovered, and at most a monument was erected on it, which can be regarded as an expression of sovereignty, in fact, no one has occupied the mainland. It was not until 1770 that the British discovered this continent and declared it British land, and after 1790, immigration began one after another. At this moment, in this land, there is no other civilization except for the primitive natives. Whether or not an indigenous civilization is considered a civilization is still a matter of two theories.

There is no sign of occupation of the island, which has been confirmed by the expedition force, as well as the size of the island.

Isn't it too expensive to leave such a land that is not occupied by people and is rich in resources?

Zhang Hongbin may be calmer because of the relationship from the future. But he was keenly aware that all the members of Congress, even those representatives of the people, instantly became much shorter of breath.

"Everyone seems to be interested in this island?" Zhang Hongbin tapped lightly on the table, and then looked up at everyone.

They didn't answer anything, but looking at their embarrassed looks, you could guess what was going on in their minds at the moment.

"Well, I know everyone is very interested, after all, expanding the territory is also the long-cherished wish of the kings of the past. But then again, who are we going to garrison in such a wild and remote place? And how many people have migrated to the past? What if a large number of ethnic minorities emigrate, but the other side directly returns to the country or becomes independent there? And most importantly, how much energy do we have left to divide people? Zhang Hongbin was very calm and analyzed it for everyone.

This seems to be a basin of ice water, which directly extinguishes everyone's burning greed.

Zhang Hongbin is right, having occupied Taiwan and Hainan Island at the moment, the military strength and manpower of the Republic are a little weak, and even Southeast Asia is now unable to send troops to occupy it, let alone Australia, which has no development value for the time being?

"The Ministry of Education has changed the civil service examination from once every three years to once a year, and it is necessary to pre-register one month in advance. Our republic has entered a stage of rapid development, and if it is not a test once a year, I am afraid that talents will not be able to keep up with the demand.

At the same time, how is the migration of the population of Myanmar's provinces going? Since Taiwan and Hainan Island have been taken over by us, we must protect these two territories. This year and next, both sides will have to put the most basic fortifications in place, and at least one military port will have to be built.

Finally, people are encouraged to have children, and those who have five children can receive a government subsidy of 5,000 yuan (copper coins), and the children's school fees can be appropriately reduced. Remember, the population of our Huaxia is a lot in the eyes of others, but in my eyes, it is still too small! Zhang Hongbin put forward several requirements in other aspects.

The congressmen began to discuss and felt that his words were not unreasonable, so they naturally followed the path and began to enter the implementation stage.

The rest was a more confidential discussion session, and at this time, the representatives of the people had to be asked to leave. In the entire Congress, only Zhang Hongbin and a number of members of the Congress remain, and all the remaining words will be S-level secrets, and they will be punished by the Nine Clans if they are leaked.

"In the end, let's discuss the problem of dealing with Daming...... The population of the Ming Dynasty has gone up, and the four places of Beizhili, Liaodong, Shandong, and Henan have slowly regained their prosperity, and social stability has also been guaranteed. Since they've helped us build it so well, there's no reason why we shouldn't accept this gift, right?

Therefore, at the latest the year after tomorrow, our country will launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty, and the detailed deployment and detailed preparations must be properly handled. But what I want to emphasize is that from now until the start of the war, everyone must keep this secret, and never let the Ming Dynasty discover our military intentions, otherwise there will be irreparable casualties in our attack! Zhang Hongbin confirmed that there were no outsiders, and the internal guard also sent a signal that he could speak, so he said it to everyone very solemnly.

"Yes!" The people in Congress naturally know this principle of secrecy.

If the secret is leaked, it will really be punished by the Nine Clans, which is not a joke. After all, once this secret is revealed, either the battle that has been prepared for a long time is suddenly canceled, which is not only a resource for Lang, but also makes people feel aggrieved! If this situation is still to be fought, then in the case of the other party's precautions, God knows how many times the battle damage will be increased, perhaps in the eyes of many people, the life of the soldier is just a set of numbers in the war report, but for Zhang Hongbin, human life is human life, and a hundred people could have been sacrificed, but in the end it became a sacrifice of five hundred, so who will be responsible for the four hundred?

How to attack the Ming Dynasty is a big proposition, and it not only requires the people of the Congress to analyze and analyze the actual situation of the Republic and the situation of this year and next year, but also needs the people of the military department to discuss from the upgrading of weapons to the use of new tactics.

For this kind of stinky and long discussion, Zhang Hongbin would have been involved in it before, but now he just needs to go back and rest.

When they discuss it, they will send someone to give them a detailed plan, and then they can confirm it themselves.

finally returned home, but the three little children circled around him, asking about Australia. This was not something worth keeping secret, so Zhang Hongbin simply described the situation in that place to them.

"Father, are we going to send people there for development in the future?" Zhang Cai suddenly asked.

"yes, that is, in three or four years, maybe they will start to send people over to develop it. Today, the population and military strength of the republic are a bit embarrassed, and it cannot support large-scale immigration and garrisons. In the final analysis, the establishment of our country is in a vast and sparsely populated place, that is, Sichuan and Shanxi have a larger population, and there are almost no people in several other places. Zhang Hongbin said with a wry smile.

"If so, would it be okay to take 500 militiamen and their families and settle in Australia, and build a new home there while they are stationing there?" Zhang Cai continued to ask questions.

"That's true, but why do you ask?" Zhang Hongbin asked curiously.

"Father, I'm going to Australia to be a vassal king!" Zhang Cai seemed to have made up his mind, and knelt down on one knee to ask Zhang Hongbin.

"You kid, you're only six years old this year!" Zhang Hongbin scolded with a smile.

"I'm six years old!" Zhang Cai straightened up, it seemed that this would be higher, but in Zhang Hongbin's eyes, this was just a cute behavior.

"Why do you want to go there?" Zhang Hongbin wants to know the child's own thoughts more than reprimanding.

"I've learned a lot, but I've never practiced it. A perfect system and rules have been formed in the country, not to mention the realization of my concept of governance, and even if I want to become an official, I must follow this rule, and I can only start to work in the government after I am admitted to the civil service at the age of 18.

But if it is in a vassal country, every qiē is a blank slate, and even the father and emperor may promise that they will give the vassal king the freedom to exercise military power. So I went there as an opportunity for my personal revenge! If I do well, I will return to my homeland in the future and strive for the prosperity of my country and the strength of my republic. If it fails, at least it won't affect the local community. So father, please allow the child to go! Zhang Cai said very earnestly.

It is said that Zhang Hongbin doesn't like a young and old guy, but there is no way, his two sons are too intelligent and grow up too quickly. Eighteen years of knowledge and experience accumulated by others, they completed it in five years. At this moment, their mental and theoretical knowledge is no less than that of an eighteen-year-old adult. Even the boss Zhang Jing's force can already be comparable to Cao Bianjiao, and it seems that it is indeed a little inappropriate to continue to treat them as children.

But thinking that a five-year-old person would have to stay away from his parents and go to a remote place where he didn't know if there would be an accident, Zhang Hongbin was really worried.

"That's good...... Go and explain to your grandfather, grandmother, and mother, and if they allow you to go, I'll arrange for five hundred militiamen to go with you!" Zhang Hongbin decided to kick the ball to someone else.

In fact, everyone can see that he has agreed with Zhang Cai's construction.

Zhang Cai got Zhang Hongbin's promise, and immediately jumped with a smile and ran to the backyard to grind the two old men. As for his mother, until seven or eight o'clock tonight, I'm afraid she won't come back at the institute.

"Father, I'm going to go to the army to hone my temper! While I am still young, I want to master the knowledge of the army, so that you can arrange for me to handle government affairs in the future, and I don't know anything about military affairs, and I don't know if I am misled or deceived, so wouldn't it be a big loss? Zhang Jing didn't stop, kneeling on one knee in front of Zhang Hongbin.

"Nonsense, you're only six years old!" The second son of the emperor is forgotten, who knows that the prince will also start to make trouble, Zhang Hongbin is naturally a little unhappy.

"Didn't Uncle Li also follow his father to fight in the east and west at the age of seven or eight? Besides, now is the era of thermal weapons, and I can't dispatch the front line in the center, so security can naturally be guaranteed. Again...... Whether it's enlightenment books or advanced books, the children who can read the books have already finished reading, and the children don't want to be a researcher or scholar, so there is no need to immerse themselves in all the effort, right? As for sports or something, the older ones don't want to play with their children, and the younger ones can't play with children, and now children don't go to the army and govern, what else can they do? Do you want to learn from those gentlemen, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble? Zhang Jing still did not give in, and fought with reason.

I have to say that Zhang Hongbin was directly choked half to death, if this kid learns from others to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble...... It is estimated that not only will Zhang Jing be beaten to death with a direct stick, but he is afraid that he will also be chased and beaten by Old Man Zhang for a few streets. Hey, having a few genius sons may not be a good thing......

"Like your second brother, go to your grandfather and tell them to go, if they agree!" Zhang Hongbin pointed to the backyard.

Zhang Jing nodded, got up to say goodbye, and quickly ran towards the backyard.

"Daddy......" When Zhang Tian knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Hongbin, Zhang Hongbin felt that he was about to collapse.
