My Life Simulator

"Australia is no less than the Central Plains."

Lu Li climbed up the mountain behind Yijinnuo Port, stretched out his hand and made a circle, "This piece of land is not only rich in resources, but also a natural pasture."

Australia has the world's largest resources of gold, iron ore, lead, nickel, rutile, silver, uranium, zinc and zirconium, the second largest resources of bauxite, lignite, cobalt, ilmenite and tantalum, the third largest resources Copper and lithium resources, the fourth largest thorium resource and the fifth largest black coal and manganese ore resources.

In addition, Australian grasslands are natural pastures. Just throw some cattle and sheep into it, and in the absence of natural enemies, the reproduction speed will scare people to death.

You know, Australia in later generations has even been a disaster for rabbits!

Of course, with the current conditions of Daming, they still do not have the ability to develop Australia in an all-round way, and they only need to occupy it.

Leaving a garrison at the Yijinnuo port, unloading some supplies, and assigning 10,000 Tianzhu laborers to build the Yijinnuo base, Lu Li took the fleet to the south.

The supply and subsequent construction of the Yijinnuo port base will be supplemented by the opposite Guinea base.

Along the Australian coastline all the way south, two bases were set up in the later Sunshine Coast and Sydney.

After leaving the garrison, supplies, laborers and part of the fleet, Lu Li led the remaining fleet across the Tasman Sea and arrived at New Southwest Flyington on the opposite side.

The new Southwest Flyington will serve as Luli's forward base for South America.

All kinds of materials were unloaded, troops were stationed, laborers settled in, and the transport fleet began to return, continuing to transport various materials from the South China Sea for the construction of bases in Australia and the new southwest.

The laborers, also under the command of the army, began to build ports and buildings with masonry and cement delivered by transport ships.

Of course, building brick kilns, cement kilns, and even planting crops such as potatoes nearby are also necessary operations.

There are also coal mines near Flyington. Although it is not a large coal mine, the coal and bricks and cement used to maintain the destroyer fleet are still sufficient.

In Australia and the New Southwest of this era, there are almost no people.

There are only a few hundred thousand Aboriginal people in mainland Australia, and even fewer in the New Southwest. Now with tens of thousands of laborers and 30,000 troops, Flyingdon is already the largest population gathering area in the new southwest.

Next is crazy infrastructure.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the true nature of the infrastructure madman could not be lost.

...

While Lu Li was busy with infrastructure construction, Duke Qian, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were also organizing a fleet to head west.

Because of the problem of burning coal, the three of Qian Guogong followed Lu Li's suggestion and did not use steam destroyers, and they couldn't get so many steam destroyers.

Today, Zheng Yuan has built the Nanyang Shipyard at the Da Nang base, and all the production capacity is used to build steam passenger ships and Galen-type armed transport ships.

At the Jinshan Shipyard, in addition to the continuous production of Zhenhai destroyers, they are also producing Galen-type armed transport ships.

Even so, the number of orders for the three of the Duke of Qian was too large. After three months, Zheng Yuan could only deliver a hundred Galen-type armed transport ships.

Fortunately, the technology of Galen ships was mastered by private shipyards all over the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this was under Lu Li's instruction, and Zheng Yuan spread it widely.

In today's Daming Sea, the small-capacity lucky ships have long been eliminated, and they have become offshore transport ships of the Nanyang Islands. Ocean transport is mainly new treasure ships and large Galen ships.

Tianzhu's huge market has made Daming Seashang develop the shipping industry desperately, for fear of insufficient cargo ships and insufficient carrying capacity.

In this case, Daming's shipbuilding industry is very developed. The three people of Qianguo Gong purchased the Galen ship very smoothly.

These Galen ships will be powerful sailing warships as long as they are installed with artillery at Da Nang or Jinshan Wei Shipyard.

Jiajing forty-three years in June.

Mu Chaobi, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou formed a huge fleet of 400 large Galen-style armed transport ships, full of guns, ammunition, navigational supplies, and a 50,000-strong army.

For this kind of warship that can carry thousands of tons of cargo and 500 soldiers, and also install 24 breech artillery, Lu Li called it a transport ship, and the three people of Qian Guogong sneered.

Is this a transport ship? Whose transport ship is so powerful? Can't see how much it is loaded, so let's call it a transport ship?

"start sailing!"

The Duke of Qian was in high spirits and pointed his knife to the west.

Behind him, a giant ship raised its sails and headed west along the Tianzhu coastline.

The huge fleet rode the wind and waves and soon arrived at Persia, the first stop of the Western Expedition.

But... the situation in front of me is a bit complicated.

Ports and towns along the Persian coast were littered with dilapidation, as if a war had been fought not long ago.

When this huge fleet, with the flag of the sun and the moon hanging high, moved along the coast of Persia, the Persians on the shore screamed in horror and fled in embarrassment.

"What's the situation?"

The Duke of Qian only felt confused and somewhat confused about the situation.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes. Obviously, this is the consequence of the expulsion of the Japanese pirates by the Duke of Yue.

The Japanese pirates who were driven by Daming to flee in embarrassment had already beaten Persia fiercely.

The fleet continued to move forward. When everyone arrived in the Persian Gulf and came to the port of Abbas, a pitiful "fleet" appeared on the sea ahead.

If these small sampans that the Ming fishermen no longer use are also called fleets, the fleet size is still not small! Hundreds of ships.

"This kind of small sampan, the waves that we set off when we moved forward were a little bigger, and we have to overturn them, right?"

The Duke of Qian had a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. I'm here to fight the Quartet, so what's the point of fighting?

"Call that Tianzhu interpreter over and send a message to the other party."

The Duke of Qian waved his hand, "Tell them! We are the Daming fleet, and we are here to chase down the Japanese pirates and protect the Daming sea frontier. Persia is also a vassal of Daming, and should be protected by Daming."

"Uh... Grandpa, when did Persia become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty?"

Qi Jiguang widened his eyes.

"I care so much? Lu Li's trick is easy to use, so let's take it and use it!"

The Duke of Qian glared at Qi Jiguang.

"This... what the grandfather said is actually correct."

Yu Dayou couldn't help laughing, and said seriously: "In the Tang Dynasty, there was also a Persian Protectorate. Now... Although it has been a long time, it can still be related! Persia is a vassal of Daming. wrong!"

"Don't say so far, when the three treasure eunuchs of this dynasty went to the West, they must have been there too. They must be vassals of the Ming Dynasty."

Qi Jiguang was enlightened immediately.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Duke of Qian laughed loudly, "Well said! Go, let the interpreter go over and tell them that!"

Therefore, Tianzhu Interpreter took a small boat and went to the Persian "fleet", and expressed his intention to the Persian commander.

The Persian commander's beard twitched.

Daming Fleet, this identity has been understood.

The Ming Dynasty was a terrifyingly powerful empire. Their fleet had arrived here a hundred years ago. The shadow of the sail that obscured the sky still makes people tremble to this day.

Now, they are back, and stronger. It is said that Tianzhu next door has been blown up by the Ming army.

Chasing down Japanese pirates, I also understood.

The terrifying fleet from half a year ago, those murderous pirates who robbed everything, should be the so-called Japanese pirates.

Only a terrifyingly powerful empire like Daming could drive those ferocious and terrifying Japanese pirates everywhere.

But... Persia has been a Ming vassal since ancient times? The Eastern Empire set up the Persian Protectorate here hundreds of years ago? The Daming fleet came to protect the sea frontier and the Daming vassal state?

What the hell is this? Your protection... can I refuse?

"Boom!"

On the sea in the distance, a warship fired a salvo, and a violent explosion blasted out a huge column of water.

Well, Daming's protection cannot be refused!

The Persian commander's face was blue and white, and he quickly said to the interpreter: "I want to report to the king. Please don't attack."

"I understand how you feel."

Tianzhu Tongyi pouted, "But...you don't have much time. Believe me, Daming's anger, Persia can't bear it, just like we Tianzhu can't bear it."

"I see!"

The Persian commander had a solemn face and nodded earnestly.

In the following high-level talks, the Duke of Qian did not mention too harsh conditions.

He asked the Persian king to submit the table, and asked the son of Da Ming to allow Persia to become a Da Ming vassal state, and to give the Persian king the title, and to hang the Da Ming sun and moon flags in the cities of Persia.

Demanded that the port be allocated to the Daming garrison for the protection of Persia. And allowed the Ming merchants to go to Persia to do business.

Other requests, such as disbanding the army, were not mentioned. After all... there are still many places to fight, and it is impossible to divide troops to garrison various cities in Persia.

Under the threat of strong ships and cannons, the Persian king had to face the reality and accepted the protection of the Ming Dynasty.

So... Daming Sea Merchant, who followed the fleet, discovered another huge market with a population of tens of millions, and various merchant ships flocked here.

Persia is done, and the food next door can't escape.

Opposite the Persian Gulf is Caliphate. When the fleet was blocked in Kuwait port, Caliphate accepted the same conditions as Persia.

Daming Maritime Carnival once again! Dashi is also a huge market with a population of tens of millions.

Wherever the fleet goes, it is the feast of Daming maritime merchants.

Afterwards, Duke Qian's fleet continued westward, from the Red Sea to Suez, and then came into contact with the huge market of Egypt.

Suez builds a base where trade can spread north. All countries along the Mediterranean coast are interested in Daming goods.

Heizhou in the south... Daming maritime merchants are at least better than the Spanish ducks and grape ducks, and they can't do slave business.

...

When the three men of Qian Guogong were traversing the Western Ocean, the construction of Lu Li's base was also preliminarily completed.

It has to be said that most of the land in Australia and the New Southwest is suitable for agricultural production. Potatoes, corn and other crops planted around the base grow very lush.

Ports and towns built of cement and masonry have begun to take shape. Three hundred transport ships were transported non-stop, and a large amount of materials were hoarded in various bases.

Everything is ready to go.

In October of the 43rd year of Jiajing, in Australia and the New Southwest in the southern hemisphere, it was a bright spring.

On this day, Lu Li led 50 destroyers, 300 large Galen-type armed transport ships, loaded a large amount of materials, took 30,000 soldiers, and set sail, all the way east, to South America.

There is still a long way across the Pacific Ocean from the New Southwest to Chile in South America.

Fortunately, Lu Li had already loaded the destroyer with coal, and also loaded a large amount of burning coal on the transport ship. Otherwise, the destroyer's voyage would not have reached the coast of Chile.

In late November, Lu Li's fleet reached the coast of Chile.

During this period, the Spanish duck people had already colonized the Americas, slaughtering and enslaving the Indians on the American continent.

When the land-based fleet came to Puerto Montt in southern Chile, the densely packed ships covered almost the entire coast.

This Spanish duck colony is in a hurry.

The huge fleet of hundreds of warships is so scary.

"Sir, are we... going to fire?"

The Spanish duck artillery stationed at the port fort asked the officer next to him.

"No! God, don't shoot!"

The officer turned pale with fright. "Didn't you see that they have a few ships? If you fire, we will all die."

"Understood, sir!"

The artilleryman swallowed his saliva and nodded again and again.

"Sir, which country's fleet is this? How come I've never seen it before?"

Looking at the hundreds of warships parked on the sea and the flags of the sun and the moon flying above, the artillery couldn't understand, where the fleet came from.

"I do not know either."

The officer shook his head, "The only certainty is that they are definitely not Spanish duck warships."

in the port.

The Colonial Director of Puerto Montt looked up at the unfamiliar battleships densely packed in the port, his face was pale, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.

The Western fleets of this era are all pirates, burning, killing, looting, and doing everything.

The arrival of such a large fleet, Puerto Montt... is finished.

However, where his duty lies, he must come forward to contact this fleet. The other party has not launched an attack yet, indicating that there is still the possibility of communication.

At this time, a battleship with black smoke came to the port dock, the gangway was lowered, and a few soldiers in black, carrying a bright red flag, stepped neatly onto the dock.

The flag was planted on the pier, and the sun and the moon were flying in the wind.

Under the protection of a team of guards, Lu Li set foot on the land of South America.

"Hello, Your Excellency! Can I ask your intentions?"

At this time, the head of the colony of Puerto Montt walked up tremblingly and greeted Lu Li.

Spanish?

In the story of the scientist, Lu Li has also learned German, French, Spanish and other languages ​​in order to read the latest scientific research documents, so it is not a problem to communicate with this Spanish official.

"Are you asking about my purpose?"

Lu Li said to this man in Spanish: "My lord, the Duke of Yue Guo of the Daming Empire. Since Er and others bullied and slaughtered my compatriots in Daming, we are hereby mobilizing troops to crusade. Those who violate my great power will be punished even if they are far away!"

The Ming Empire? A duke?

The Spaniards naturally knew the huge Ming Empire in the East, and also knew the weight of a Duke representative.

It's just... slaughtering the compatriots of Ming Dynasty? Spain's tentacles in the Far East have not yet reached the coastal waters of Daming, where have they slaughtered compatriots in Daming?

"Sir, is there any misunderstanding here?"

"No misunderstanding!"

Lu Li pointed at the shackled Indian slaves at the port, and said to the Spanish duck official, "Did you see it? They are my compatriots from Ming Dynasty!"

"Oh... no! No!"

The Spanish officials shook their heads again and again, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, you misunderstood. They are Indians, not Ming people."

"You are wrong! They are my compatriots in Daming!"

Lu Li's face was serious, "Three thousand years ago, in a dynasty called Shang, a group of Yin and Shang people fled to America. The Indians you are talking about are the descendants of Yin and Shang, and they are my compatriots in Daming!"

Three thousand years ago?

Spanish officials are stunned! Oh, God! Is there any more nonsense reason than this?
