Become a feudal king from today

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." Zhou Yi, Pan Chang and other generals all looked happy. Zhao Xu nodded and asked them to clean up the battlefield and completely control the town of Holland. In the evening, Zhao Xu entered the town accompanied by Zhou Yi. This is a typical British-style town. Most of the buildings in the town are wooden peaked houses. Occasionally, one or two brick and stone houses can be seen, which are the residences of the town's officers and officials. The whole town is twenty miles long and about fifteen miles wide. Outside the town is a flat grassland, where cattle and sheep can be seen wandering, and some areas are plantations with crops such as wheat and soybeans. But in general, the main industry of Holland Town is still animal husbandry, which is consistent with his understanding. After all, the interior of the Australian continent is dry, and only the humid coastal areas have vast grasslands. "Your Highness, the grassland here is really endless. I wonder how it compares with the grasslands of Beidi? "From the north end of the town to the south end.

Zhou Yi observed with a telescope for a while and said with emotion.

Zhao Xu smiled and said to Zhou Yi, "It can only be said that it is a small witch meeting a big witch."

The area of ​​the Australian continent is nearly 8 million square kilometers, and the livestock area accounts for one-third of it.

You can imagine how great the potential of its livestock industry is.

Zhou Yi was shocked when he heard this, "Your Highness means that it is much larger than the grassland of Beidi?"

"That's right, otherwise why do you think this king attaches so much importance to this place." Zhao Xu smiled lightly.

Zhou Yi grinned, "If so, wouldn't the soldiers have their own grassland this time?"

"Of course." Zhao Xu gave Zhou Yi an affirmative answer.

Then he joked: "Regarding this reward for merit, this king has a suggestion, it is better to reward the soldiers with time."

"Time? "Zhou Yi was confused.

Zhao Xu pointed to a stable next to him, "Take the pocket watch to time, let the soldiers gallop, and give them as much pasture as they can run out."

Zhou Yi immediately came to his senses, "Hahaha, this is a great idea, no one should complain at that time, anyway, they ran out by themselves."

"Once we take over the entire Australian continent, we will do this." Zhao Xu patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, deliberately provoking him.

Zhou Yi's heart was like a cat scratching, he wanted to continue to march south without stopping, so he said, "Your Highness, since the town of Hedland has been taken, leave two or three thousand soldiers to detain the prisoners, and the rest of the people can continue to move forward."

"Yes, we are not tired at all, and we can continue to fight."

"This is just a small battle, let's do a big one. ”

“…”

The generals followed the two men all the time, and their conversation naturally fell into their ears.

They also became impatient one by one.

“In that case, we rest for three days and then go to the next colony?” Zhao Xu wanted this effect.

There is no doubt that his promise was like a stimulant for the Marines.

“One day is enough. Let’s not talk about the generals. If the words of His Highness spread out, the soldiers will not be able to bear it. Who can still bear it?” Pan Chang shouted.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

“In that case, the next target is Lord Adelan. "Zhao Xu said.

He naturally wanted to end the war on the Australian continent as soon as possible.

This was not the main battlefield in the war with the Western Turkish coalition.

After agreeing on this, the generals went back.

The news of the land grab spread quickly among the soldiers, making everyone's fatigue dissipate instantly.

The only obsession in their minds was to take over the Australian continent.

At the same time, Pan Chang also ordered the soldiers to number the prisoners and townspeople.

The shackles that were previously used specifically for prisoners were also used on the townspeople.

For the soldiers, there was no difference between prisoners and townspeople, and their identities would only be slaves in the future.

After a day of rest.

The Marines left two thousand soldiers to guard Hedland, and the fleet set off again.

This time, they will start the final war.

Because the Territory of Adland and the Territory of New South Wales are adjacent, they actually only need to attack one place.

"I hope Gong Ying can conquer Queensland when we arrive there. "This time, the fleet sailed eastward, passing through Queensland, instead of going northward to reach the southeast corner of the Australian continent. Because it takes more than 5,000 kilometers to go north from Hedland, and only more than 4,000 kilometers to reach the southeast corner eastward. This is the difference between a ten-day sea voyage and an eight-day sea voyage. In addition, Queensland is at the midpoint of the route. You can get supplies here. In this way, you can reach New South Wales after another four days of sailing. At the same time, by joining forces with Gong Ying, they have concentrated their forces, which will make it easier to launch a fatal attack. ... At the same time. Morz Port.

Gong Ying looked at the Marines getting off the troop transport ship with a relaxed look.

Like the strategy of the Western Fleet, they also adopted a three-jump strategy.

That is, to establish a supply point, transport all the Marines there, and then establish the next supply point.

However, since they set out from Yizhou, there were enough troop transport ships.

So five days ago, they arrived in Morz with the first batch, a total of 12,000 Marines.

After that, the troop transport ship returned and transported the second batch of soldiers from Moro Island.

"It's time to launch an attack on Queensland." All the Marines were in place, and Gong Ying was excited.

At this moment, a general and two soldiers from the troop carrier came towards him.

Soldiers carry a box.

After giving a military salute to Gong Ying, the general said: "General, these are the flares sent to Moro Island from Yizhou. There are about thirty boxes."

"Flare?" Gong Ying was startled. He had never heard of this thing.

"And this." The general thought of something, took out another letter from his arms, and handed it to Gong Ying.

After reading the letter, Gong Ying suddenly realized.

He figured out the use and function of flares.

I also understand that this is the military supplies that were successfully verified by the Military War Department and sent as soon as possible.

Because they set off late, this batch of supplies could only be delivered to the second supply point.

However, King Yan's fleet set off early, so it was difficult to say whether they could receive this batch of supplies in time.

"But even if there are no flares, given His Highness's wisdom, it will only take a while." Gong Ying muttered.

Then he looked at the box, his mind spinning rapidly.

As if he thought of something, the corner of his mouth was filled with a bad smile.

However, in order to have a real experience with the flare, he decided to use one at night before making a final decision.

Wait until night falls.

Gong Ying asked someone to open the wooden box and take out something like a stick from the box.

This stick is made of steel and is a little heavy.

There is also a gunpowder twister on the top of the stick.

According to the method in the letter, he asked the soldiers to bury the stick diagonally in the pit and light the gunpowder twister.
