For a while, in Lu Longqi's eyes, Zhu Gaoxian was directly equivalent to the God of Wealth.

It was best to be able to overcome the difficulties, deal with the affairs here, and leave two warships, Zhu Gaoxian left Sumatra Island and headed for Bo Ni Country, that is, Kalimantan Island.

Bo Ni Kingdom is only the ancient name of the Ming Dynasty here, since the Song Taiping Xingguo period, the lord here has sent envoys to pay tribute through the merchant Pu Luche.

In the third year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao sent an envoy here, and the lord of the country, Ma He Mosha, was arrogant and rude at first, and then after persuasion, he was very respectful.

Historically, during the Yongle period, the lord of the country, Mana Jagana Nai led his wife and children across the sea, went ashore from Fuzhou Port, lived in China for several months, and later died of illness in China, before dying, hoping to be buried in China, Yongle Emperor dropped out of the dynasty for three days, and the sacrifice was very rich.

When the Chinese warship docked, the lord of the country, Mana Jakana, came to greet him with great interest, and at this time, Zhu Gaoxian arrived, and Mana Jakana Nai respectfully led almost the whole country to greet him.

The whole country basically lives by the sea, and there are only more than 1,000 households, all of which are Hui people, which is very simple.

The dwellings here are all built of trees, a few feet from the ground like a building, the downstairs raises cattle, sheep and livestock, and the upstairs lives people, compared with Zhenla and other places, it is much more tidy.

Min Sixiao and the others had already built a tall house here as if they were in the Wangshe, because they had not found a coal mine for a while, they did not dare to unload the things on the ship, and were waiting for Zhu Gaoxian's arrival.

"Your Highness, if you can't find the coal mine for a while, the little people think that they can transport some things back here, they have a lot of corals here."

Coral is a treasure in Daming.

But Zhu Gaoxian knew that Min Sixiao was comforting him, worried that he would not be able to find a coal mine for them, and if he wanted to find a coal mine, it would definitely not be something that could be done in three or two days.

"Don't worry!" Zhu Gaoxian said directly, "I will quickly find the ore vein for you, there are a large number of open-pit coal mines in the central, eastern and southern parts of here, which are very convenient to mine." ”

After all, in a previous life, Indonesia was the largest exporter of coal from China and Japan.

In addition, when he came from Sumatra, Zhu Gaoxian deliberately asked the warships to circle around Kalimantan Island, firstly, because there was no communication, to find the landing site of the Ming warships and ships, and secondly, to see the situation on the island, and to lock a certain mining range through his keen eyes.

After Min Sixiao heard this, he put his mind at ease, and he said in a low voice, "Your Highness, there are few people here, the people are in a state of ignorance, and the king is like a person who has never seen the world. ”

What a capabler than the other!

Zhu Gaoxian said in his heart that it is not easy for people to fight out of the business circle of the Ming Dynasty, and the combination of civilization and force is the spiritual food that can ensure that a nation will always be invincible.

In fact, the Song Dynasty was not qualified to be crowned with a "big" character, emphasizing literature over military force, and later the land was lost to foreign races.

As for China's 100-year history of humiliation in modern times, Zhu Gaoxian summed up the reason, perhaps the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty had an inferiority complex in their bones from beginning to end.

Even the two monarchs of the "Kangqian Prosperous Era" recorded in history, Kangxi and Qianlong, may have only carefully guarded the foundation that had finally occupied the magpie's nest, and did not have the kind of bold spirit of ownership, closed off the country, and made the country standing in the sacred land of the East, after thousands of years of dominance, finally be in a backward and beaten situation.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty without Zhu Gaoxian's participation, Zheng He was also the first person to open the Age of Discovery.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Gaoxian actually had the idea of wanting to go to the European continent to see, he needed to cross two oceans, and at this time, the Suyinshi Canal had not yet been opened, and he needed to make a detour from the Cape of Good Hope.

Da Ming's warship is not human-driven, how many times does he need to refuel along the way? Unless, in all the countries he passes through, all the oil is extracted, or he finds a way to use nuclear fuel.

Nuclear fuel, on the other hand, is a field that Zhu Gaoxian has never touched, unless it is given by the system. Even so, it is necessary for Daming to have experts in this area to conduct research.

In addition, the Cape of Good Hope is the confluence of the warm Indian Ocean current and the Benguela cold current, which is still one of the world's most famous and dangerous seas.

If Zhu Gaoxian hadn't gotten the world news from the system, maybe he wouldn't have been so urgent, and now he urgently needs to establish a nuclear research team in Daming and strive to be at the forefront of the world.

"The Reborn Financial Giant"

Next, it took Zhu Gaoxian about 20 days to establish a total of three open-pit coal mines.

It is said to be an open-pit coal mine, but it is also in the mountains, and most of the surface still has a layer of surface structure and is overgrown with trees.

But these coals are much easier to mine than those that are covered by a thick surface.

Crossing the Java Sea from Kalimantan Island, through East Timor, and then across the Timor Sea to Darwin, Australia, was a simple matter for Chu.

At this time, Darwin was not called Darwin, and Zhu Gaoxian named the place where they landed "Mingwei", which was the place where the Mingwei of the Ming Dynasty landed.

Zhu Gaoxian looked at the mainland in front of him, he didn't know if there would be other colonists on this island.

Later, Spanish and Dutch navigators discovered the island first, and the British navigator Captain Cook directly declared the island to belong to the British.

"Hua Ju stay on the warship, remember my instructions, any other non-Ming ships are not allowed to get close to the Ming warships and ships within five miles, otherwise they will all be sunk!"

"Yes!" Huaju replied awe-inspiringly.

The dinghy was put down, and Zhu Gaoxian took the lead in getting off the warship and taking the dinghy to the beach.

He was closely followed by Zhu Neng, Hua Ju and Gu Yun, as well as several sergeants holding submachine guns.

"If you encounter the natives of this place, don't be impulsive, and if the other party has no malice, don't hurt their lives. If the other party releases malice, there will be no mercy! Zhu Gaoxian instructed.

Although he did not want to treat the natives of every land as beasts like the colonizers of the European powers, the premise was that the other side had no malicious intentions.

They belong to the aggressor, and he does not want to risk his own lives for it.

When everyone got ashore, the group walked inside, and there were no people along the road, but because it was near the sea and not a forest area, they saw traces of human life.

This made Zhu Gaoxian and others very happy.

Darwin Harbour was chosen as the site of the later city, first, because the sea area here was suitable for the establishment of a port, and secondly, it was close to Southeast Asia, which was the most likely area for Aboriginal life.

Because it was too late, Zhu Gaoxian and the others stopped after walking a short distance, took tents, and chose a gentle area with water to camp.

After the bonfire was lit, several sergeants who were good at hunting used guns to catch a lot of prey, and in the process, there were banging gunshots around them, which were enough to attract the attention of the nearby natives, but this was exactly what Zhu Gaoxian and others wanted.

After the fire was lit, the game was cleaned, and some powder of spices was sprinkled with salt and some spice powder, and it was roasted on the fire, and in a short time the rich fragrance came out.

Zhu Gaoxian was in charge of a rabbit himself, and he turned it over with great patience, watching the rabbit meat bubble out of the oil, drop by drop, dripping into the fire, bursting red sparks.

"Your Highness, someone is peeping around." Zhu Neng was very vigilant, he squatted beside Zhu Gaoxian, seemingly watching Zhu Gaoxian roast rabbit meat, but in fact, while talking to Zhu Gaoxian in a low voice, he protected Zhu Gaoxian in a protective posture.

"yes, I know." Zhu Gaoxian said in a low voice, "Find a way to catch this person and try not to hurt him." ”

He needed this person to take them to the tribe here, and he didn't think that with this small number of Daming people, they could mine the minerals they fancy and transport them back to Daming.

"Yes!" Zhu Neng nodded at the two sergeants.

It was two scouts who were very agile, and after approaching quietly, about ten paces away, they were still noticed by this monkey-like native, and the other party was about to flee, one of the scouts shot the man in the foot, and the man was stunned for a moment, and the other pounced and subdued him.

Under the jumping firelight, it can still be seen that this indigenous man is very black, but it is not the same as the black slave that Zhu Gaoxian got from the dead King of the West before, it is not a degree of black.

The more than 300 black slaves were very pure, and this indigenous black seemed to be mixed with the skin color of Southeast Asians, and even the skin color of some yellow people.

The man's hair was as messy as weeds, he wore a crown of grass, twigs, and beautiful bird feathers, he was naked, and he wore a skirt also made of grass and leather, and his black and white eyes were full of horror.

Because he is short, thin, and his face is full of ignorance, so Zhu Gaoxian can't tell if this is a child or a teenager?

The two scouts knelt in front of Zhu Gaoxian with this native, Zhu Gaoxian looked down at him for a while, stubborn with some submission, Zhu Gaoxian had no interest in conquering a savage-like native, and the language was different, so he didn't ask, and said, "Give him a little food!" ”

He heard the native's irrepressible swallowing sound under the dual scent of meat and spices.

The two scouts let go of him and moved to the side.

The native wanted to run, but when he looked around and touched the guns in the hands of the sergeants, he flinched, sat on the ground, and curled up with his arms folded.

From the gap between the grass skirts scattered around his waist, Zhu Neng and the others could see that this native was a male.

Even if they are of the same sex, seeing this part that should not be seen, Zhu Neng and others, who were born in the army, still feel very uncomfortable.

There is a sense of shame in peeping into other people's privacy.
