Chapter 1000: Tahiti Wharf
Mizuno Masashige is dead.
Just as Li Yun had anticipated, inside Wa, the country was already in an uproar at this moment.
The Nanyang Army was still coming on aggressively.
Three days later, the five-hundred-thousand-strong army boarded their Warships, with their target being Wa!
The Nanyang Army fulfilled its promise to the Li Dynasty, not causing even a shred of damage to the Li Dynasty's territory.
Their target had been Wa all along!
When this news arrived, the entire Wa populace was in a state of panic, with wails echoing everywhere. Dead? Mizuno Masashige just died like that? Dying was one thing, but he had also brought such a formidable enemy upon Wa! Five hundred thousand Nanyang troops—who could fight that? One must know, in the history of wars between Wa and the Nanyang Army, Wa had lost more often than it had won...
And now.
It was five hundred thousand.
Against almost zero.
The Emperor of Japan panicked as well.
He immediately began conscripting soldiers, forcing young men from all over to enlist and undergo mandatory training.
On the other hand, the Emperor of Japan, in his capacity as the supreme ruler, issued seven letters of surrender in succession.
Seven of them.
In the history of the historically formidable Wa, this had never happened before.
However.
The Nanyang Army turned a deaf ear to these seven letters of surrender.
Keep fighting!
Soon, a landing battle began. At this time, reinforcements from the Li Dynasty had also arrived.
Li Tun could not have been happier.
So Wa has a day like this too?
Strike while the iron is hot!
Although the Li Dynasty was also riddled with holes at present, at the very least, by scraping together what they could, they still had a few hundred thousand troops.
Set sail!
Li Tun immediately issued the order for an army of two hundred thousand to set out for Wa! Not only did he send sufficient grain, fodder, and supplies to the "friendly forces," but more importantly, he was going over to get a slice of the pie... Who doesn't know how to slice a pie?
Of course.
Li Tun also knew.
This time, when slicing the Wa pie, he could not forget the big brother, the Longyan Dynasty.
Therefore.
He only wanted a little bit, even if it was just some compensation for his dignity.
Wa.
For a time, the flames of war spread; the partitioning of Wa was already an irreversible fact.
At this moment.
Over a dozen Yinzhou ships were still sailing on the Pacific Ocean.
Su Qi continued to record all the gains from this voyage.
Map information, directions, climate, geographical locations, what was produced in abundance, and so on and so forth.
Actually.
For this voyage, Liu Zheng had given him several objectives.
First, search for Xie Fang, looking for traces of Xie Fang among the various islands and indigenous tribes.
Second, was to search for Australia.
Australia...
Although Su Qi did not know why the Young Master was always so concerned about this Australia, he was still searching very earnestly.
It was just that.
The ocean was vast, and although they had the most advanced compasses produced by Yintan City, no one could guarantee that the direction they were sailing in was correct.
People who spend a long time at sea always experience some discomfort and disorientation.
Even the best sailors were no exception.
Therefore.
Su Qi could only try his best not to lose his way, but in reality, he did not even know where they were at this moment.
"General! Look!"
Just at this moment, a deputy general suddenly exclaimed.
Su Qi also looked over at the sound.
A continent?
It was a continent!
Yes!
What appeared in the distance was not some island, but a continent! A continent of unknown size!
【Line 57 merged into 56】
"This..."
He was instantly shocked.
Lush and green, it seemed infinitely vast.
A continent!
They had encountered quite a few large islands during this voyage, but this was the first time they had encountered a continent!
Could this be it?
"Quick, send out the speedboats to take a look!"
"Yes!"
Su Qi was feeling somewhat excited.
The others were no different; having drifted on the sea for so long, being able to encounter a continent was truly a great joy.
Several speedboats responsible for reconnaissance were sent out.
Very quickly.
They fed back the information they had scouted.
"General, there are people here! And there is a fleet!"
"What?"
Su Qi immediately ordered all Warships to conceal themselves.
The others also became nervous.
A fleet!
To have a fleet in such a place! This was prone to conflict!
"Go to that small island over there to hide!"
Su Qi became serious all of a sudden and muttered.
"Yes!"
After all, Su Qi was leading over a dozen Warships this time, but in reality, he did not have many men—at most twenty thousand naval troops; if he were to encounter a powerful hostile fleet, he certainly would not be able to run away.
A fleet...
For the first time, Su Qi felt a great deal of pressure.
Continue scouting!
A wharf, a fleet; very quickly, the information received caused Su Qi to fall into silence.
The wharf was not small.
The fleet was likewise not small.
It was a Western Ocean fleet, because the Scout had seen a group of white people with yellow hair and red hair on the wharf.
Western Ocean?
"Britain?"
Su Qi took a deep breath.
That's right.
Su Qi had guessed correctly.
This wharf was the famous Daxi Wharf.
After Britain's Endeavour landed in Daxi for the first time in 1768, it began the slaughter and exploitation of the Australian natives.
Here, they also built Britain's first colonial wharf in Australia.
"Hahahaha, how is the cargo this time?"
At this moment.
A British man with a large red beard was counting cargo on a ship.
"Luoweier, I'm asking if you can clean up your beard; clearly we are people of Great Britain, yet you look just like those Russian brutes!"
A blonde man dressed as a gentleman beside him elegantly brushed his blonde hair and sneered: "Fool, stop asking me if the cargo is good or not; as for things like Spice, how could anything compare to Longyan's? It's good enough that we have any at all!"
"Luojinsi, I think you've been playing with the native women here too much! Hahahaha, Longyan? I would like Longyan's cargo too! You go and fight for it!"
Luoweier laughed heartily and continued to call for his men to count the cargo.
That's right.
It was precisely because they were searching for Spice that they found a place like Australia. Since ancient times, European Spice had been too dependent on the Middle East and Longyan. Especially Longyan's Spice, which always held the top market share in Europe. But with Longyan tightening Spice exports recently, this caused the Europeans to be on the verge of collapse.
Just as Britain was vigorously developing commerce, they thought, if Longyan is so expensive, then I might as well go find it myself!
This, in turn, promoted Britain's maritime industry.
Daxi.
A good place indeed.
Luojinsi did not deny his own malice and smiled faintly: "So what if it's Longyan? A bunch of guys from a low-level civilization, they don't even have a constitutional monarchy. Sooner or later, our British flag will be planted on their Imperial Palace! Just wait, Britain is developing rapidly, and sooner or later, the whole world will be ours!"
They don't even have a constitutional monarchy. Sooner or later, our Britain's flag will be planted on their Imperial Palace! Just wait, Britain is developing rapidly, and sooner or later, the whole world will be ours!
"Move quickly!"
"Snap!"
At this time, another group of natives carrying cargo was being driven by these British soldiers holding whips.
Those poor Australian natives seemed to have already become numb.
