Chapter 1023: Migration of the Entire Clan

Luojinsi and Luoweier fled from here, almost without stopping, from another port.

Defeated.

And it was a crushing defeat.

In the end, they were only left with a hodgepodge of sailors and navy personnel who could barely keep the Endeavour in operation.

And even these people were beaten to a pulp, one by one, in a wretched state, with missing arms and broken legs.

"Save them, save them for me!"

"No, get on the ship first, then save them!"

Luojinsi and his men were all on the verge of madness; this young Noble, who had received formal training, had at this moment completely forgotten how to command these soldiers who had been beaten into a state of terror. And were these soldiers of Britain not the same? For a long time, they had been an invincible existence across the globe.

Their Warships and their Cannon had always been the most advanced, and wherever they went, they were an overwhelming presence.

Yet today...

Yet this time.

Everything that happened here in Daxi had completely become their nightmare.

How could it be like this?

How could it be like this?

Like walking corpses, they boarded the ship and sat on the deck, one by one, in a state of utter despair.

The Java army on this side was still in pursuit.

The Endeavour soon set sail in a hurry. But it was still struck by a few Cannonballs, nearly capsizing the Endeavour. Fortunately, these naval personnel were considered quite experienced, and they quickly plugged the large holes on the deck, which allowed the Endeavour to continue sailing forward, trembling.

"General!"

The army, still in the heat of battle, looked at Su Qi one by one.

Su Qi looked at Xie Fang.

Xie Fang smiled faintly: "Do not pursue a desperate foe; letting them leave is fine. At the very least, Britain will not come to harass us for a short time. It just so happens that we can also take this opportunity to get a good understanding of this Australia."

"Yes!"

The whole army responded in unison.

Su Qi also looked at Xie Fang with surprise.

Xie Fang had truly matured a lot now. If it were according to his previous temperament, he would certainly have pursued them relentlessly this time. In that case... that would actually have been an unwise choice.

Because they currently wanted to occupy this Australia.

Whether it was occupying this Australia from the natives or seizing Australia from the hands of Britain, they were the latecomers. Since ancient times, what would latecomers do after occupying a place?

First, stabilize the situation.

Second, declare sovereignty.

If they had killed everyone on the Endeavour, who would go to help them declare sovereignty? Who would go to help them proclaim just how strong this army occupying Australia was at this moment?

They needed to let people go.

Sometimes, war is not the only means to resolve a Bitter Remonstrance.

Deterrence is equally important.

Next, the Longyan Army and the Java army began a month-long search of Daxi and the entire Australia. The focus was naturally on clearing out those British troops and taking inventory of the defensive works, buildings, military camps, and some property left behind by Britain...

Naturally.

There was also the gathering of these poor natives.

He needed to know the situation of the entire Australia at this time.

However.

It was precisely this investigation that left Xie Fang completely dumbfounded. Because previously, they had thought that such a Daxi was the entirety of Australia... because this land was already large enough, already enough to make people envious... It was not just Xie Fang who thought this; Su Qi thought so too. Yet now, both of them were stunned...

This Daxi was actually only a tiny, tiny, tiny part of this entire Australia?

The vastness of this Australia completely exceeded their imagination.

It was at this moment that Su Qi

understood why his master had been emphasizing that Australia must be taken.

It was too big...

It was truly too big.

And most places were ownerless land. As they searched the place, they discovered that it was simply a great paradise. The climate and environment here were truly too suitable for developing agriculture, and the mineral resources here were also incomparably rich. The animals, plants, and so on here... were full of mystery and vastness that made one look forward to them and couldn't help but want to explore.

A surprise!

This was definitely a surprise!

One month? How could it be enough?

This month was probably only enough to search one-tenth of this place...

Gold mines!

Afterwards, they discovered the gold mines that the natives had been forced to dig under British enslavement, and the scale and quantity of these gold mines were staggering.

Xie Fang was completely stunned.

This Vice Minister Liu...

Just how big a gift had he sent him?

What was Java Island? Compared to this place, it was simply trash. Even, just in terms of climate, environment, and resources, Xie Fang even felt that no major province of Longyan could compare to this place... This place was simply a Heaven. If this place were developed, who in the whole world would they have to fear? Even Longyan, I'm afraid, would also...

Xie Fang hadn't slept well for a month.

He had been struggling with a question.

This question had been troubling him all along.

He was struggling, he was hesitating.

It is very important.

That is, whether he should move the entire population of Java Island to Australia, and let them truly become the masters of this paradise. Once this idea popped into his mind, he could no longer suppress his excitement.

This project would be massive, and he would need to persuade many people.

But...

Once completed, he might truly achieve a great undertaking.

A great undertaking.

Aside from assigning those tasks for exploring Australia every day, Su Qi was just watching Xie Fang struggle on the sidelines. He naturally knew what Xie Fang was struggling with.

Finally.

Su Qi took out a proposal.

Then he handed it to Xie Fang to read.

When Xie Fang saw this proposal, he could not help but smile bitterly.

This proposal was Liu Zheng's blueprint on how to develop and build the entire Australia. It was very detailed, very forward-looking, and in this proposal, Liu Zheng was actually able to know the entire situation of Australia like the back of his hand. From top to bottom, from large to small. In this proposal, Liu Zheng had arranged everything in Australia perfectly.

Of course.

This proposal was intended for Su Qi to find and seize Australia, so one of the very prominent problems in it was population.

The problem of population was the hardest to solve. Everyone knew that the Longyan people were most attached to their native land; the sentiments of home, country, and ancestral temples meant that unless they truly could not survive, the Longyan people would certainly not run off to a foreign land.

Back when developing the Western Regions, Liu Zheng used the method of using prisoners.

Nowadays, there were not enough Longyan prisoners either... whenever there were people, they were shipped to the Western Regions, and whenever there were people, they were sent to Liaodong...

Where would there be so many prisoners?

Moreover, the most important thing was that Longyan had developed now. The domestic economy had developed, the common people's lives were better, so who would still run out to make a living like those fake Wa? Isn't it better to just stay at home?

Under such circumstances.

The population problem became quite acute.

Seeing this.

How could Xie Fang have any more hesitation?
