In the nearly ten years that she has been with Xianfeng, Lan'er's feelings can only be described in one word, that is, tired!

In order to please Xianfeng to get favored, you need to do your best, tired, Xianfeng is worried about the erosion of state affairs, but also good words to persuade him, physically and mentally tired, especially in the last days of Xianfeng, the country is also crumbling, many times she has a feeling that she can't hold on, and even the idea of being buried comes out from time to time, this is not that she has a deep love for Xianfeng, but she is tired and can't bear it, and she can't see hope, and death is a relief.

When the Democratic Alliance really came, but the Manchu and Mongolian tribes were not slaughtered, but were unexpectedly driven to Australia in exchange for survival, and everything was settled, she finally gave birth to a sense of relief.

Originally, she thought that she would grieve for a long time because of Xianfeng's early death, but she found that it was just her wishful thinking, Xianfeng died, the sky did not fall, but the Qing Dynasty was reborn because of Xianfeng's death.

She believes that Wang Feng claims to be unwilling to bear the notoriety of bullying orphans and widows, although there may be other considerations, but Wang Feng is a bright person in her eyes, one is one, two is two, if there is a problem, she will not regret it, she doesn't have to worry that Wang Feng will stab her in the back, and she has a sense of security in her heart.

This sense of security, she has not obtained from Xianfeng, although Xianfeng is the emperor, but guarding the Qing Dynasty in the sunset, will give her a sense of fear of annihilation at any time, but the enemy who destroyed the Qing Dynasty gave her a sense of security, as if there is this person standing behind, she does not have to worry about how to fight against the 400,000 Caucasian people in Australia, how to conquer the million natives. It's a very strange feeling.

A woman like her, who is in the company of power, can only be conquered by powerful men. Xianfeng never conquered her, because Xianfeng was a coward by nature. And Wang Feng, who was standing beside him, was obviously a man who was so strong that he had no score!

"Alas~~" Lan'er couldn't help but sneak a glance at Wang Feng, the delicate face with a tough face, and the thin and upright body actually made her heart ripple, but then she sighed faintly.

She has her own responsibilities, a country that she can't let go, a sense of mission to lead the Manchu and Mongolian tribes to prosperity and strength, and she still has ambitions. She understands that if she can't restrain her feelings, she will lose everything!

'Jun knows that the concubine has a husband, gives the concubine a double pearl, feels the gentleman's lingering meaning, ties it in the red Luo, the concubine's high-rise building even the garden, the lover holds the halberd in the bright light, and the gentleman's heart is like the sun and the moon. The husband swore to live and die together, and returned Jun Mingzhu to tears, hating to meet when he was not married! Lan'er chanted silently, and the corners of her eyes were a little blurred. Immediately afterwards, he forcibly raised his face and said coldly: "It's almost time, let's all worship our ancestors before leaving." ”

"Wow!" Yi Xun hit a thousand should be down. turned around and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order and kowtow three times to the north!" ”

Lan'er took the lead. Yixun and other clan dignitaries accompanied him, and behind him were 50,000 soldiers. Qi Qi knelt down on the beach and kowtowed respectfully, many people kowtowed, crying bitterly, because this may be the last time they kowtow to their ancestors in their homeland, it is inevitable that they will cry in their hearts, Lan'er also took this opportunity to cry loudly!

This is not only nostalgia for the homeland, but also helplessness for fate.

Soon, the officers and men of the Jin State boarded the ship one after another, and two hours later, the huge fleet headed by the flagship General Li Guangbi sailed off the coast.

Adjacent to the Indian Ocean to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, Australia is far away from North and South America, and is not only a supply station for fresh water, fuel and food for ships between Asia and Africa and South and North America, but also the intersection of future submarine cables and optical cables, which has an important position in transportation and strategy.

There are three main routes from China to Australia, the first is the route from the northern port of China to the east coast of Australia and New Zealand, which needs to enter the Solomon Sea through Kume Island in the Ryukyus and Yap Island in the Caroline Islands, and reach the east coast of Australia through the Coral Sea.

The second route from southern China to Australia enters the Coral Sea through the South China Sea, the Sulawesi Sea, the Banda Sea, the Arafura Sea, and the Torres Strait.

The third route is from China to the west coast of Australia, passing through the Mindoro Strait in Luzon, the Makassar Strait between Borneo and Indonesia, and entering the Indian Ocean in the south through the Lombok Strait, which can reach the port of Darwin at the northern tip of Australia.

According to the predetermined goal, Jin needed to conquer the east coast of Australia first, so Wang Feng chose the first route, and this route passed through Papua New Guinea, Wang Feng hoped to mark the route to facilitate the conquest of Papua New Guinea immigrants in the future.

In March and April, when the climate was mild and the Pacific Ocean was calm, the fleet sailed unscrupulously on the ocean, the blue and deep sea, the sand that exuded a bright light, the whales up to several tens of meters long, the dense schools of fish under the sea surface, and the tens of thousands of sea turtles on the islands, not only made the officers and men of the Jin State who had never been out to sea breathe and forgot the sadness of migrating to a foreign land, even the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army shouted that the trip was worthwhile.

But when the fleet entered the Coral Sea a month later, the speed slowed down significantly, first of all, January to April every year is the typhoon season in the South Pacific, and we had to be careful, although the fleet was lucky, it did not encounter typhoons, but from Papua New Guinea, it encountered two tropical low pressure cyclones one after another.

Although its wind strength is not large, the maximum is only seven to eight, the existing ships of the Israeli Democratic Alliance can barely withstand it, but the real pain of the tropical cyclone is its pouring storm, it is not a typhoon, it moves slowly, as long as it is within the range of the cyclone, heavy rain can often rain for several days in a row.

The second is the Coral Sea has the famous Great Barrier Reef, the Great Barrier Reef is beautiful, magnificent, but it is a navigator's nightmare, it runs through the northeast coast of Australia, north from the Torres Strait, south to the south of the Tropic of Capricorn, stretching more than 2,000 kilometers, the width of about two to 160 kilometers, the south end is two hundred and forty kilometers away from the coast, the north end is only 16 kilometers away from the coastline, the dense reefs, forcing the fleet to sail only during the day, and need to anchor or dock at night.

Thanks to Wang Feng's old horse, the fleet travels between the barrier reef and the mainland, if you change to someone who doesn't understand the terrain, the end can only be in the deep sea on the east side of the barrier reef, you know, the average water depth of the Coral Sea is 2,394 meters, most of the water depth is between 3,000 and 4,000 meters, and the deepest depth is 9,174 meters!

At such a depth, even the anchor can't be hit to the end, imagine how heavy is the anchor rope of three or four thousand meters? How much space will it occupy? If you dock outside the Great Barrier Reef at night, it can only be resigned to fate, a slight tropical cyclone can break up the fleet, if it is a typhoon, it is likely to wipe out the whole army.

In this way, it took ten days to leave the confines of the Great Barrier Reef without danger, and the speed of the fleet increased significantly, and after three days, the fleet finally stopped at the Botany Bay, which was next to Sydney.

It is a small bay with a circumferential shape, with a width of 1.61 kilometers and a diameter of 8 kilometers, named after the arrival of Captain Cook on the Australian continent in 1770 and the discovery of many new plants that were not found in Europe.

Standing on the bridge overlooking Sydney, Sydney's urban development was quite good for its time, with wide roads, steel bridges spanning hundreds of meters, neat docks and many three- to five-storey buildings, but unfortunately, there were only five forts, spread on both sides of the bay.

Five of Britain's most classic sixty-eight-pounder front-loading smoothbore guns were mounted on the battery, which had a range of about four kilometers and was noticeably behind the times.

Yang Shuijiao couldn't help but say: "Australia's defense is too weak, right?" Just with five guns to defend Australia? ”

After more than a month of getting along day and night, the Democratic Alliance Army and the Jin Army have become very harmonious, and the relationship between people is actually very realistic, when your enemy is so strong that it is invincible, even if it only releases a little bit of goodwill, you will be flattered, and even cry with gratitude.

Mu Meng, the secretary of the Jin State Military Department, stroked his goatee and said proudly: "Australia's coastal defense, compared to my Qing Dynasty, is also inferior, think I Dagukou Fort, a total of Zhenhaimen high four forts and more than 20 small forts, with hundreds of artillery, from this point of view, foreigners are just like this." ”

Boss Chen couldn't stand it anymore, this cheeky was too thick-skinned, and immediately smiled and said: "Actually, you can't blame the Australian authorities, in the nearly 100 years since Australia was encircled as a British colony, no one in the European powers dared to question it face to face, even if anyone wanted to stab the British knife in the back, it was impossible to come to Australia to make trouble, after all, the losses caused to Britain were extremely limited, but the consequences were equivalent to invading British territory and needing to bear British retaliation." ”

Zhou Xiuying followed: "The Australian authorities do not prohibit immigrants from other countries, as long as they pay taxes according to the rules, which makes other countries have no excuse to deal with Australia, so his five cannons are just window dressing and playing the role of declaring sovereignty, but there is a good saying, those who come out to mix always have to be returned, for a hundred years, Britain has developed a habit of bullying weak and small countries, and he never thought that he would be beaten at home, today, Australia has ushered in foreign enemies, you see, they have found us." ”

In the city ahead, the terrible sirens sounded one after another, and groups of soldiers in disorganized formations ran through the streets, many citizens walked out of their homes with weapons, some climbed to the commanding heights of various buildings, and more still crowded with artillery to the docks.

There were more than a dozen cargo ships, which hurriedly lifted anchor and avoided the corner, apparently because they didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

Although the soldiers and civilians of Sydney did not know where they came, perhaps because they were relatively closed to the sea, no one knew the military flag of the Democratic Alliance, but it did not prevent them from preparing for war urgently, and the whole city was filled with a tense atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
