Chapter 768 Australia
As early as when Zhao Hongyu led the fleet out of Jinshan, he divided eight warships and headed for the southern waters of the Pacific Ocean. In order to find Australia, a continent with a vast territory and rich copper and iron ore resources, before the Europeans.
So far, almost half a year has passed since Zhao Hongyu dispatched the small fleet composed of these eight warships.
And this small fleet, too, lived up to expectations and found Australia, and established a large settlement in the southeast of Australia.
It's a pity that the commander of this fleet is not allowed to use the trader, so the development here in Australia is definitely not as good as that of Jinshan.
But in any case, Australia is now in the hands of Zhao Hongyu.
Although the Song Empire only established a settlement in Australia, the population within the settlement was not very large.
However, nominally, Australia already belonged to the Song Empire.
In the future, whether Europeans or anyone came to Australia, but without the permission of the Empire, then the Empire could give blows and expulsion by various means.
Of course, Australia is not a small country, and the coastline alone is very long.
If anyone really wanted to land, the empire would not be able to detect it for a long time.
But now that there are frequent wars in Europe, it is impossible for those Europeans to put their eyes and energy on the ocean again in a short period of time.
At the same time, even if they had their eyes on the ocean, it would have been decades before Australia would have been discovered in normal history.
Therefore, the Song Empire can rest assured and has enough time to plan to occupy the whole of Australia.
This fleet commander who was sent out by Zhao Hongyu half a year ago to find Australia has the same name as the modern stars in another time and space...... Wu Zhenyu.
Even, even the appearance is the same.
Wu Zhenyu took the fleet under his command and finally landed on the land of Australia after a lot of hardships. And in half a year a simple fortress was built.
Australia's natural environment is very well preserved and rich in forests.
Therefore, the wood for building the camp can basically be collected from nearby, but it saves a lot of trouble and trouble.
And the place where Wu Zhenyu landed with the fleet was actually the seaside southeast of Sydney, the capital of Australia, which was not very far from Sydney.
If Wu Zhenyu led his soldiers, he would be able to find that place if he had at least explored a little.
But. Considering that the number of soldiers under his command was not very large, and their material reserves were not very sufficient, Wu Zhenyu gave up the idea of exploring the Australian hinterland.
He thought that as long as the settlement was established here, and it was marked on the chart, it would be enough to wait for the commanders with authority to develop it.
His thinking cannot be said to be wrong.
When he discovered Australia and landed, he drew a nautical chart and marked the coordinates accurately, and immediately sent a warship back to Jinshan. Give this nautical chart to Wang Shan.
After all, the distance on the Jinshan side is the closest to Australia, and it is also the closest place to be able to get supplies.
After arranging these, Wu Zhenyu began to lead his subordinates. The construction and defense of the fortress began in an orderly manner.
For the arrival of Wu Zhenyu and these uninvited guests, the natives living near Sydney have long found out.
And Wu Zhenyu also understood that it was impossible for them to come without arousing the ideas of these natives.
However, he did not want to clash with these natives. Therefore, under Wu Zhenyu's orders, the genetic soldiers rarely left the fortress, or were too far away from the fortress.
The Australian aborigines don't have the same dark skin as Africans, but the dark brown color.
Judging by their looks. It's also very different from Africans.
However, because they are indigenous, coupled with the difference in language, Wu Zhenyu does not like to deal with them very much.
He also had his considerations, after all, if there was any misunderstanding, it would not be good for some unnecessary conflict.
Moreover, as long as it is touched, there will definitely be such misunderstandings.
However, Wu Zhenyu's idea was good, but he underestimated the curiosity of the indigenous people of the Australian island, as well as their own appeal.
In the dense jungle not far from the fortress built by Wu Zhenyu, there lived an indigenous tribe of about 6,000 people, the Maogista tribe.
Since Wu Zhenyu and their fleet docked and landed, these people of the Maogista tribe would hide in the jungle every day to observe Wu Zhenyu and them.
These natives are curious, fearful, confused, and even a little excited.
Compared to the Indians on the American Highway, or the black tribes on the African continent, the aborigines living on this side of Australia are relatively mild.
Otherwise, after the discovery of the 18th century in another time and space, the British would not have been able to take full control of Australia with a few exiled prisoners.
It can also be seen how low the combat effectiveness of Australia's aborigines is.
For outsiders like Wu Zhenyu, the people of the Maogista tribe felt a little panicked from top to bottom.
However, after a period of observation, when they discovered that these people who were different from their appearance and used very powerful tools did not seem to be 'beasts' or monsters as they had imagined, the natives gradually became emboldened.
The first contact between the Imperials and the Aborigines of Australia is also a bit funny to say.
No matter what age it is, children's curiosity is always the heaviest and the most courageous.
The breakthrough point of contact between the two sides is also because of the child.
At that time, hiding in the forest every day to observe Wu Zhenyu and their affairs has become a new entertainment activity for the people of the Maogista tribe.
So, a lot of kids come to wander around.
At this point, I don't know what's going on, a nearby kangaroo suddenly went berserk and chased a little girl from the Mao Ojista tribe and kicked and beat her.
As we all know, Australia is rich in gold, silver, copper and iron minerals, as well as a super-large rabbit, kangaroos and koalas.
Super big bunny needless to say. When it reaches adulthood, it can be almost as big as a child of seven or eight years old, and it is fat.
It's just that this kind of rabbit is not strong in attack and is not a ferocious beast.
And the koala is even more needless to say, this kind of cute and slow little guy has no attack power at all, and is basically a mascot-like existence.
However, the kangaroo of the three 'hegemons' on the Australian continent is different.
Kangaroos' lower limbs and legs are very advantageous, and if you kick someone, you can kick them to death.
And that's not all, its two short arms. He can also swing like a human boxer, as if he were a qualified boxer.
And it's not easy to get hit so many times.
Therefore, the kangaroo is very aggressive.
How could that little girl from Maogista be a match for kangaroos?
Especially the sudden attack of the algebra, which came out like this, was not expected by the children.
Faced with such a situation, the children of the Maogista tribe who came out to observe this time fled one after another.
It's just that it's hard for that little girl.
When the stout kangaroo saw that the other children had run away, he recognized the unfortunate little girl. chased all the way down.
The speed of the kangaroo is not enough, and if it runs at full speed, it can also run at a speed of 80 or 90 kilometers an hour.
So, that little girl who is only eight or nine years old. How can you outrun a kangaroo?
What happened to the little girl was discovered by the sentry on the watchtower of the fortress at once.
Moreover, the little girl was bullied enough by the kangaroo to see if she didn't care. Maybe life will be in danger.
So, on the orders of the captain of the sentry squad on duty at that time, a squad of ten soldiers rushed out of the fortress.
In the end, it is an animal. There is no brain.
The kangaroo, which was five big and three thick, was not afraid at all when he saw so many people coming.
Maybe it thinks it's invincible now.
So, after abandoning the little girl, it actually launched an attack on the ten genetic soldiers who rushed towards it.
When it came out just now, the children couldn't get it, so they ran away.
Originally, this kangaroo thought it would be the same as before.
It's a pity that it miscalculated its own wishful thinking, and these people on the other side are not the same children just now.
The genetic soldiers stabbed down with their bayonets, and the kangaroo fell to the ground with several heavy knives and died of cramps.
Poor fellow, I don't know what Lu Dao would think before he died if he had some thoughts.
As for the idea of kangaroos, genetic people are not interested in knowing the way.
Anyway, there are not many kangaroos on the Australian continent in this era, and it is not a big deal to die such a one.
In this way, the Gene Man soldiers rescued the child back to the fortress and bandaged her.
The kangaroo's 'fists and feet' were still very powerful, and one of the little girl's arms was broken.
Fortunately, she encountered the Imperial Army, otherwise the little girl's arm would not have been treated at all, and she would have to be a disabled person in the end.
And when the empire rescued the little girl, all this was seen by the children hidden nearby.
One by one, they ran back to the tribe and told the news to their parents and elders.
At that time, the tribe was in chaos.
Because they don't know what those guys with black hair and black eyes will do to her after taking that little girl away.
If you don't know, you'll kill her.
What's even more coincidental is that the identity of that little girl is not ordinary.
Since it was one of the eighteen daughters of the patriarch of the Maogista tribe...... The identity is also not ordinary. (To be continued......)
