Those who did not draw number one looked at others, and only one person showed joy, and that was the gray-haired and bearded King Huang Fei of the South China Sea.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I was lucky enough to draw number one."

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "So you are the King of Nanhai. You must seize the opportunity and choose a fiefdom that you like."

Huang Fei is the only one among the nine non-local princes in Dalai who was a former Ming general.

Although this person had some abilities, he was not outstanding among all the generals in Dalai. The only reason he was able to be crowned king was because he caught up with the good era of Dalai's great navigation.

Other princes also congratulated Huang Fei.

Then, under the envious gazes of other princes, Huang Fei came to the map of Australia.

He took a quick look and pointed to a place along the southwestern coast of the Australian continent, saying, "Your Majesty, I hope to be granted the title here."

Although the Australian mainland's southwestern border navy had visited the area before, no supply station or observation point had been set up there, making it a completely undeveloped virgin land.

However, as the King of the South China Sea and a senior general of the Dalai Navy, Huang Fei had some knowledge of this area through the navy's internal documents.

As far as he knew, unlike the barren interior and northern coast of the Australian mainland, the southwestern corner had forests, hills and plains, and was a good place with relatively rich resources.

Huang Fei now has several grown-up grandchildren who have entered the military and other industries for training.

However, there were no particularly outstanding people among his children and grandchildren.

In addition, because he was a former Ming general, he was always cautious among the generals in Dalai, and his family's influence was not very developed.

Most importantly, he is old and doesn't want to go to places like America and Africa where troubles are likely to arise.

Although Dalai has been involved in the Australian continent for nearly ten years, he has only established several development zones in the north, east and southeast, and has not yet touched the southwest. This is just the right time for him to establish a small vassal state that is at peace with the world.

As far as Liu Sheng knows, there are no internationally renowned cities in the southwest of the Australian continent in later generations.

Although there are a lot of resources, they are just average.

Although there is currently no competitor for establishing a country there, the development potential is not great. It is estimated that in the future the territory will at most cover one-quarter of the Australian continent - and this is still an ideal situation.

The most likely scenario is that the feudal state perished due to internal strife in the overly comfortable surrounding environment and was then annexed by a major power.

But for now, this place is indeed very suitable for Huang Fei to be enfeoffed.

Liu Sheng nodded and said, "Southwest Australia is a good place. Since the King of the South China Sea likes it, let's go there."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huang Fei bowed and thanked him before returning to his seat.

Afterwards, Li Dingguo, who drew lot number two, stepped forward to choose his fiefdom.

I saw him walk to the map of South America, look at it for a while, and actually point to a place on the east coast of South America.

This time, not only several princes were surprised, even Liu Sheng showed a look of surprise.

That place was Montevideo on the coast of Uruguay in South America in the future!

"King Cangwu, I have to remind you that our Dalai Navy has not yet set foot on the east coast of South America. Not only is the journey very long, it is not a good place for immigration."

After hearing Liu Sheng's words, Li Dingguo bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the west coasts of North and South America have long mountain ranges that block the traffic with the inland areas, and the non-mountainous areas of the west coast are narrow, so it is not a good place to establish a country."

"Besides, our country already has three development zones on the east coast of North America, and your vassal state cannot be located within 300 miles of a development zone (the previous text has been revised)."

"In this case, if I want to establish a country in America, the East Coast is the best choice."

"As for the long distance, I believe that with the current strength of our navy and the transportation capacity of civilian ships, the extra distance is not a big problem."

Dalai currently has three development zones in North America, namely Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. If you add the restriction that you cannot choose a fiefdom within 300 miles of the development zone, there really is no suitable place on the east coast of North America to establish a country.

Although Dalai has not yet established a development zone on the west coast of South America, South America is a place that has been colonized by Westerners for more than a hundred years and their influence is relatively strong.

Secondly, the terrain on the west coast of South America is narrower than that on the west coast of North America, which would limit its future development too much, so Li Dingguo really looked down on it.

So, after discussing with Helian Yue that day, they decided to go to the east coast of South America to establish a country...
Li Dingguo's words sounded a bit pitiful.

Liu Sheng looked at the situation on the west coast of North and South America, and it was not easy to force Li Dingguo to change the location, so he said: "The east coast is the east coast, but you have to be careful when you immigrate later. It is not easy to ensure the safe arrival of immigrants on such a long voyage."

Li Dingguo said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will keep it in mind."

After Li Dingguo, seven princes including Yang Heqing and Helian Yue also chose their own fiefdoms one after another.

Yang Heqing, Helian Yue, Zhang Ao and Peng Youyi also chose to establish a country in South America, and the starting point for immigration was all chosen as the east coast!
Yang Heqing chose Porto Alegre in the future Rio Grande do Sul state of Brazil as the starting point for the founding of the country.

Helian Yue chose the south of Li Dingguo, which is later Argentina's Bahia Blanca, as the starting point for the founding of the country.

Zhang Ao chose Navegantes, in the north of Yang Heqing and later in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, as the starting point for the founding of the country.

Because Peng Youyi drew a larger number and made his choice later, he could only choose Cananeia, located further north on the coast of the later Brazilian state of Paraná, as the starting point for the founding of the country.

Subsequently, Shen Wandeng and Liu Changhe both chose to establish their own country in Australia.

Because Dalai had already established a development zone in what is now Melbourne, Shen Wandeng chose Adelaide, South Australia.

As for Liu Changhe, he chose the large island in the south, which was a natural harbor in the northern part of Tasmania in later generations, as the starting point for the founding of the country.

Huang Gan had the worst luck, drawing lot number nine, the last one to be chosen.

He originally wanted to go to the east coast of South America.

But nowadays, many people go there, and all the good places relatively close to the south have been chosen.

He simply changed his mind and chose to establish a country and establish a vassal state on the island of Madagascar in later generations, and chose Bei Island in the northwest of the island as the starting point - he heard from Liu Changhe that the environment there was good and it was rich in spices, so it was a good place.

Dalai has only established a supply station and observation point on the island, but no development zone, so there is no problem for Huang to choose the island to establish a country and establish his vassal state.

After the nine princes chose their fiefs, the officials in Dalai would make new maps and these places would be renamed.

As for what name to change to, it depends on what names these princes and nobles gave to their countries after they founded the country.

···
After the fiefdom was selected, the imperial court issued an imperial decree the next day to inform the world.

At the same time, official newspapers controlled by the court also made a series of reports on this matter.

At this point, the news that the two dukes and nine princes were going to establish their own countries overseas had spread to all provinces and even to all prefectures and counties in the Dalai Empire, causing various discussions among people from all sides.

As for the eleven families who were going to be enfeoffed, they were all eagerly preparing.

Recruit subordinates, contact merchants, negotiate cooperation, recruit immigrants, etc.

I am busy and having a lot of fun.

For a while, the sailing craze in the Dalai Empire became even more intense.

After two or three decades of development, as well as the control and absorption of the Korean Peninsula, Indochina Peninsula, Central Asia and other regions, coupled with the originally good fertility environment in the country, the population of Dalian has now expanded to 390 million!
Close to four hundred million!
In the inland provinces, although most people live a good life, the opportunities for prosperity are far less than they were 10 or 20 years ago.

In addition, three years of compulsory education were popularized in inland provinces. Although the new generation was not all intellectuals, they were literate and had been influenced by newspapers and other reading materials. Many young people were unwilling to be lonely and dreamed of making a fortune or achieving success in their careers.

Now that the second duke and the ninth prince have gone overseas to establish a country and become a fiefdom, after being publicized in the newspapers, many young people who are unwilling to be ordinary feel that this is an opportunity to pursue their dreams.

Therefore, many young people are eager to join the two dukes and nine kings in the cause of establishing a country and showing their talents! (End of this chapter)
