Chapter 391: Li Zicheng's Colonization of Australia 3
After elaborating on his plan.
Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and others were all in a state of thinking, turning their brains, and deducing the feasibility of the plan Li Zicheng said.
Circle a large amount of land, build a manor, the local owner, and then engage in industrialization, achieve self-sufficiency, and have their own military strength, manage their own territory, outsiders can not meddle in, so as to make their own decisions, who if they pose a threat to themselves, find a way to defeat or eliminate, unless it is a strong and invincible force, then remain modest and polite, if necessary, to vigorously please, such as Xujiazhuang, if there is enough strength and opportunities in the future, it is Xujiazhuang, it is not impossible to defeat it, in short, When you are weak, you will develop dormantly, and when you are strong, you will fish in troubled waters, vigorously develop, and try your best to get rich and strong, so that it is possible to create miracles in the future.
In the final analysis, it is still a powerful force that accumulates grain, builds high walls, does not cause trouble, develops obscenely, and finally makes a move to become a winner, thus becoming a powerful force that has the last laugh.
Moreover, as long as you follow the plan formulated by Li Zicheng and never change it, coupled with the hundreds of people, under the continuous multiplication, even if there is no sign of strength in one or two decades, in thirty years, fifty years, and hundreds of years, it will definitely become a force to be reckoned with, and even a large local family.
Such a big family, not to mention in Australia, is also an existence that cannot be easily handled, and it is also an existence that many forces pull and curry, otherwise without the help of this big family, they may not be able to do anything, and they have become a part of the ruling class.
】
The core core is land + population, as long as it is your own land, plus your own children and grandchildren, and is not managed and restricted by other forces, you can always mix into a great force in the future.
The problem is that there are contradictions and risks in this road, and there is a problem that must be overcome.
Rival.
It is necessary to eliminate competitors in order to occupy the land resources and become the master here for a long time and stably.
Competitors may be wild animals in the wild.
It may also be that the local indigenous Maori, even if these natives, are not small in number and not low in force, have mastered the ability to build canoes to sail thousands of miles on the ocean, and have a certain organizational ability, not necessarily an existence that is easy to provoke, in case of paying a large casualty and causing the gains to outweigh the losses, it is funny, and it proves that it is just a boring farce.
"The natives don't pose any threat to us, a dozen of our old brothers can easily wipe out an indigenous tribe, we have sharp knives in our hands, and we can also buy high-powered steel crossbows from the weapons shop in Xujiazhuang, and buy high-powered but low-fire firearms, these sophisticated weapons, let us kill ten natives at once, it's easy, we don't need to have any worries, we are here to bully people, those natives can't bully us."
Li Zicheng said confidently.
Everyone nodded in agreement, but they really couldn't come up with a reason to refute it.
Indigenous people are indigenous after all, still in the Stone Age, the development of technology is too backward, the threat they can bring is very limited, even if they build canoes, let them occupy all the larger islands in the South Pacific, but that's just it, when they meet them fully armed, after all, it is inevitable to die, unless they surrender decisively, willing to become a slave, maybe they can give a chance to live, and increase the available manpower, speed up the construction of the family estate.
Feasible.
Very doable.
It is also a very suitable development route, because compared with the huge strength of the Ming court, the Ming magnates, and Xujiazhuang, they are simply not worth mentioning, they are ant-like existences, but in front of the Maori natives, they are super strong people who can implement dimensionality reduction strikes, and they are completely sure to complete the goal of conquering the indigenous tribes and occupying fertile land.
If you want to invest, as long as you prepare some money and buy a batch of sophisticated weapons, you can buy a new business for at least two hundred silver dollars, and if you buy a few more good horses, it will have to be about five hundred silver dollars.
"Come on, come on, come on! We will definitely make a comeback! ”
"This time, we will come out with a better future, whoever dares to stand in the way, then the white knife will go in, and the red knife will come out!"
"There is really no need to work part-time, the salary of 300 wen for a year is not possible, it is impossible to exceed a number, the ceiling is placed there, if you go to kill people with your eldest brother, enclosure land, no matter what kind of land it is, as long as you can grow food, it is good land, as long as there are some mineral resources under the land, the wealth of future generations and grandchildren will be in hand, for our family and children, no matter how pitiful those natives are, as long as they dare to block our future and wealth, then we can only send them to hell, this is not negotiable."
"The eldest brother's plan is very good, I raise my hands in favor, and there is only this way, there is more hope of getting rich, other roads, it is indeed a waste of time, there is no future at all, at most mixed food and clothing, a lifetime of muddy life, and it will affect future generations to suffer with it, without any hope."
"Anyway, give up this life and fight for a future, my physical condition is okay, it has not been completely ruined by tobacco and alcohol, and it should not be a problem to fight and kill for another three or five years."
"Okay, let's go buy the blades we have in hand, and tomorrow we will quit the rental house and go to the wild to colonize, I hope that the natives in front of us will not be too special."
“……”
Soon.
Inside Seafood City.
Li Zicheng and the others took out the last bit of money in their pockets, purchased a batch of daggers, alloy knives, quarter plate armor, and some equipment for outdoor use, etc., and all the thirteen good brothers, including themselves, were fully armed, and they were murderous, quite imposing, which made people dare not despise them.
Then it is to set off, fight into the mountains, find the ownerless land that is not occupied by the mark, and then plant a special flag belonging to the 'Yecheng Pioneer Group' in a conspicuous place to complete the development of the land.
This may sound very simple and easy, just a few dozen words, in fact, survival in the wild is a relatively esoteric knowledge, and it requires a lot of ability and skill.
Because it is necessary to solve the problem of food, you can't eat the food you carry with you early, try to hunt around, pick non-toxic wild fruits and wild vegetables, try to eat food resources in the wild, save the food you bring, unless it is a serious shortage of food, you can use the food materials you bring.
And Li Zicheng and others, who have made their fortune by rebellion before, have more than ten years of experience in wild survival, and have long been masters of outdoor survival, and the Australian continent, although the temperature began to drop, like autumn, but there are actually a lot of wild animals, and it is not difficult to catch, often just a short half a day's effort, Li Zicheng and other young and strong, they have played a lot of game, there are common kangaroos, wild wolves, voles, rabbits, and some more clumsy birds, weighing two or three hundred catties, enough for more than 100 people to consume a whole day.
The picking team organized by the women also picked a large number of hazelnuts, nuts and other foods from the nearby fruit trees, and the quality was also hundreds of catties, enough for hundreds of people to eat for a day.
Everyone also gradually discovered that although this place in Australia is primitive and backward, it is more desolate and barren, but it can really be called rich.
At least there are a lot of prey in the forest, and it's easy to hit.
At least they walked forty or fifty miles in a row, they didn't suffer anything, their stomachs were always full, there was no big problem, the water in the river was very clear, there were many fish, and occasionally on the road, they picked up a piece of high-grade copper ore, proving that there was a copper mine nearby, if it could be mined, with the value of copper, the family they established was like having a wings to take off, and they would definitely be able to make a lot of money by mining in the future.
But the high and low mountains, the denser forests, even if the area is vast, is still not the land they want the most.
Because it is too remote, the terrain is rugged, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, and the development cost is high, the benefit is average, and the cost paid is very large.
Plain.
It is still necessary to find a plain terrain, preferably without too many trees, so as to save the trouble of cutting down trees and digging up roots.
Of course, if you find a grassland terrain is not bad, although the grassland proves that there is less rainfall, but it can be used to develop animal husbandry, a large number of cattle and sheep, then get beef, milk, mutton, wool and other high-value products, this is actually much better than farming, there are indeed a lot of people who change careers to engage in animal husbandry, but compared to farming, animal husbandry is a little harder, every day has to work, pay more energy, in short, each has its pros and cons.
So he marched more than fifty miles in the northwest direction.
Coupled with the previous itinerary, here is far from the seafood city, it is estimated that there are hundreds of miles, it takes half a day to ride a fast horse, in case something happens, it is useless to shout for help, you can only rely on your own desperate struggle, rely on your strength to survive, there will be no miracles.
So in my heart, Li Zicheng and others don't want to go too far, afraid of falling into a state of 'isolation', which is also not good, no one can't think of seeking death by themselves, especially when they are weak, it is absolutely necessary to find a backer and find some friends, and they must have a good relationship with their neighbors, in order to take care of each other when they fall into a crisis, but they have gone hundreds of miles away, and it is impossible to ask for care, it is too late, unless they are strong enough, run a little farther, after all, the strong are mavericks.
"We can't go any further, and if we go any further, we will be cut off from the civilized world, and we will become like natives."
Li Zicheng opened his mouth and said, letting everyone slow down and not go any further.
Just right!
After crossing this unknown mountain range.
Looking to the west, a vast prairie is presented in front of everyone.
There are many animals in the grassland, and groups of animals move together.
There are a large number of weeds, generally more than half a person tall, this season is already in a state of withered yellow, not much green can be seen, but in the rainy season, it is obviously a different scene, and the height of the weeds will definitely be higher.
It also proves that the land under the feet must be very fertile, because it has not been reclaimed and utilized, and countless humus has been accumulated on the surface, and a sword is pulled out and poked on the ground, and then a small amount of soil is made, and the color is brown in front of it, which belongs to a kind of fertile soil, not as good as black soil, but it is by no means bad, and it can also make crops obtain high yields.
Stand on a high place and take a look.
The area of the large grassland in front of us is estimated to be more than one million acres.
Only in the low-lying places where there is more water, there are patches of forests, but they cannot be connected into large areas, or mainly grasslands, but they can provide a large amount of wood, and after all of them are cut down, they can also reclaim a lot of farmland for planting grain and vegetables, etc., and even dig out fish ponds, use them as laundry ponds, and raise some fish in them, which is simply perfect.
There are also mines, there must be some in the vicinity, whether it is iron ore, coal mine, copper mine, any mine, as long as there is, it will be mined sooner or later, bringing a lot of wealth to the family and achieving economic take-off.
However, he took out the telescope and continued to observe from a distance, Li Zicheng also found that about twenty miles away, there is also an indigenous tribe living in a place, with dozens of thatched huts, and hundreds of tents, the total population of the indigenous people, it is estimated that it will not be less than three hundred, they live in this vast grassland, belong to the earliest aborigines, no one can deny their identity, since they are there, this land full of potential, there is obviously a dispute, not Li Zicheng said that it was his, that is, The natives here will certainly not agree.
"Our home has been found, there is no doubt that these grasslands, forests, animals, and underground mineral resources are all ours, because we have come, this borderless land, and it really has a master."
Standing on a stone, Li Zicheng opened his hands and said to everyone without shame: "I plan to take this mountain range as the boundary, those grasslands and forests in the west, about millions of acres of land, all of them are ours, even if we are short of manpower now, we can't develop such a large area, but there are not enough people, we can continue to live, we can go to Seafood City to recruit, the funds are not enough, we can also think of all kinds of ways, it is not impossible to find bank loans, in short, these lands are the owner land, if anyone dares to come and rob them, We can only fight to the death and defend everything we have with the knife in our hands! ”
"That's right, from now on, this land is ours!"
"Big brother, let's listen to your arrangement, destroy those natives first, and then recruit people to reclaim the wasteland and build a huge manor, and we will be the soil emperor here!"
"This place is so good, I don't want to leave, let's do it hard, whoever comes to rob it will kill him!"
"At least a million acres of anointed land, but the opponent is some unclothed indigenous savages, this is not a heaven-sent land that belongs to us, or to whom? Just do it! ”
Everyone responded, full of energy and motivation.
