Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 719 Oceania Exploration Team

"We need to send a small team to Oceania to establish a colony," Chu Yun said.

"Master, our Nanyang Fleet has not enough ships, where is this Oceania?" Deng Qianlong complained to Chu Yun with a sad face, "The Nanyang is vast and thousands of miles away, and our Nanyang Fleet now wants to control the Strait of Malacca, Java Island, and Luzon." Islands, the southeast coast, and Yizhou, even if two ships are placed in each place, they will not be able to take care of them."

"I understand your difficulties. We have already trained a new fleet in the Liaodong waters, and they will deploy it near the southeast coast. Moreover, there is no need for all ports in Southeast Asia to deploy warships. The fleet only needs to hit the Hoi An port. That’s good, if the Westerners come, look for an opportunity to annihilate them. I guess the European side has heard what happened here, and they will definitely not send troops over.” Chu Yun said.

"Why is the military leader so sure that they will not send people over? The Spice Islands are very important to these Westerners, there is no reason why they would be willing to give up like this?" Deng Qianlong said.

Chu Yun was speechless. He couldn't tell Deng Qianlong that Europe is now fighting a 30-year war.

So he said: "According to the captured captives, several major powers in Europe are now at war, and the places where they can obtain spices are not only the Nanyang Islands, but also India. If we also seize India, then They're the ones who are going to really freak out."

"The squad sent to Oceania does not need to send many people, dozens of soldiers, and then hire some native residents of the Spice Islands to serve as sailors and handymen, and just go there to establish a colony. Put our military flag there, we will You can claim that Oceania has been our land since ancient times, you know?"

Deng Qianlong realized: "I just said why the military leader is so interested in the barren land. It turned out that it was just to declare his sovereignty."

"Do you think it is a barren land? You know that the southeast coast of Oceania is very suitable for people to live in, even better than the Spice Islands." Chu Yun said, "This is the approximate location of Oceania, just let the crew sail in this direction gone."

Chu Yun handed over a map that he had hand-painted to Deng Qianlong. Deng Qianlong took it and looked at it. It was only a few squares... Although it is possible to find Oceania with this...

"I will arrange a small team to occupy Oceania, but this Oceania is too big." Deng Qianlong saw that the territory of Oceania is very huge.

"Because the middle and the west are almost all deserts. There are some indigenous people on it, try to establish a good relationship with them, find a way to exchange raw materials with them with industrial products, and attract them into our economic system." Chu Yun said.

"Yes."

"The Nanyang Fleet still can't slack off. Next, it will transport food and supplies for the Siamese battlefield, and continue training. In the future, it will attack India and establish the Maritime Silk Road."

"Yes..." Deng Qianlong wiped off his cold sweat, the Nanyang Fleet would no longer know what kind of fleet it would become after fighting like this.

Then Deng Qianlong went down to find some soldiers to explore Oceania.This is the first time that the Kyushu Army sent an expedition to the ocean.Although Oceania was discovered by Dutch explorers about 30 years ago, Westerners have not yet established a colony there, only the natives of Oceania who are still far behind the natives of the Spice Islands.

After Chu Yun arranged the Oceania expedition at will, he had to properly handle a lot of arrangements.

The Marine Brigade is still fighting on the Spice Islands.After the Westerners became captives, they were scattered into various squads of the Marine Brigade. They were accomplishing in a special way what they wanted to do but could not do before - completely flattening the native kingdoms on the Spice Islands.

Of course, the Westerners have long wanted to defeat these indigenous kingdoms and completely colonize the Spice Islands, but Europe is too far away from here. The number of them coming here from Europe is limited, and they cannot completely conquer the Aboriginals of the Spice Islands, and even if they temporarily defeat Without them, it is difficult to manage so many islands.

But the Kyushu Army is different. Many islands in Nanyang are under the gaze of the Chinese mainland. In the Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty, many overseas Chinese went to Nanyang because of wars and famines. They are familiar with the situation here and can help the Kyushu Army. A lasting dominion is established here.

Chu Yun knew that the trade-led colonial system like the East India Company would not last long. He was most afraid that when the national consciousness awakened, Nanyang would fall apart.

He found Xiong Wencan: "For Nanyang, whether it can be conquered by force is not my worry, because to be honest, there is no one that our Kyushu army can't beat. What I worry about is that there are many islands here, there are Malays, Javanese, Vietnamese People from Champa, Chenla, Dongying, and Westerners are simply a hodgepodge. With such a complex terrain and population composition, it is not easy to manage it well. Therefore, private schools should be established as soon as possible, and local school-age children All recruited into private schools, let them learn Chinese and Chinese characters. We also need to promote Hanfu, use chopsticks, and learn the simplified Confucian etiquette, so as not to make them feel troublesome.”

Xiong Wencan wrote down Chu Yun's instructions.The Chief Secretary of Nanyang and the Chief Secretary of Xijiaozhi are still in the embryonic form of conception. As the civil affairs officer of the Chief Secretary of East Jiaozhi, he is the first batch of main officials in the Kyushu Army to manage Nanyang. Even if the Chief Secretary of Nanyang and the Chief Secretary of Xijiaozhi are established , local officials also came to listen to Xiong Wencan's experience in internal affairs.Because the Chief Secretary of East Cochin is an experimental field.

"We have already set up ten private schools in Shenglong City, accommodating more than [-] local children from the Annan Kingdom. Next year, we plan to add [-] private schools. Other places will also learn from the experience of Shenglong City. It is... the teacher who teaches Not many, especially those who can also pinyin." Xiong Wencan said.

"Well, I will dispatch another group of teachers from the north, and I will go here when the north wind blows." Chu Yun can only dispatch people from the north where the development was relatively early.There is no way. Although he started to promote Pinyin a few years ago, he has only trained two or three batches of new teachers, and it will take time to train them from generation to generation.With pinyin, foreigners in Nanyang can be less repulsed by Chinese characters, because it is not a common difficulty for people who do not understand Chinese characters to learn Chinese.

"Next, I will go to Siam to oversee the battle and wipe out the last two land powers, Siam and Toungoo," Chu Yun said.

"Military Lord, don't take risks lightly!" Xiong Wencan said quickly when he heard that Chu Yun wanted to go to the front again.
