New World
Chapter 1440:New World
Chen Jiang took aboard a rudder board put down from the "downwind" and boarded the ancient continent, which would later be called the "New Song Continent".
He carried a red background, and there was a triangular flag with the word "Song" on it.This flag will be left on this land, symbolizing that it belongs to the official family and mother of the Song.
After a soft sound of the "topket", the bottom of the thud hit the soft beach.
A sailor wanted to get off the boat, but was pulled by Chen Jiang.
He was the first to land on this great island!
For he vaguely knows that the first person who ascends will be named after the history of youth.
Although this is a small step for him, it may be a big step for mankind!
There is probably no human on this “big island.”At least for the most part, there is no sign of human activity.
Chen Jiang stepped into the warm water with one foot, and the soles of his feet were soft beaches.He carried the flagpole, went to the water, and tried to move forward.The sailors also came down from the platter one by one, and like him, marched to the barbaric continent ahead of him.
On the white beach, the endless grasslands and hills are endless.There were no tall plants, and the hills were low and low, and no other animals were active except seabirds soaring in the sky.
Everything seemed calm, original and deserted.
“Six into two teams!”Chen Jiang said, “A team follows me, let’s go up the mountain and look.”A team is here.”
“Oh!”
Climbing the distant hills, Chen Jiang saw the ocean again, on the other side of the hill, about twenty or thirty miles away, is a piece of water.
Is it an island?Or a peninsula?
If it is an island, it is not of much value.It's just a deserted prairie island...
Then Chen Jiang looked north and soon saw a large ocean.Then he turned to the south, this time not to see the sea, but to the endless hills covered with low vegetation.
It should be a bit of arid and hot grassland.Chen Jiang thought to himself: If there is a river, you can add a little fresh water, and then see if you can hunt... If you can hit some wild cattle and sheep, salted with salt, two exploration ships can stay in the nearby waters for a while and search it well.
When he returned from the hill, he suddenly found himself on the shore of a group of people who were besieging an animal that would jump upright and have a large tail.
The sailors shot it with a bow and arrow, and then poking it around the wounded animals with a few long-width knives... The scene was a little bloody and very chaotic.
“What is this?”Chen Jiang ran over and looked at it and did not know it.
“Shut up, this guy came by himself!”A sailor reported, "Looking at a lot of meat, so he killed him."
“It’s not poisonous, is it?”Chen Jiang looked at it, "wash and peel, take it back to the kitchen, let them cook for the paddle hand to eat ... can not give each, find a few to try to eat."If you don’t eat, catch more!”
This is a cute kangaroo, kangaroo meat certainly does not eat the dead.
The kangaroo was peeled on the carrying, and Chen Jiang and others got on the board and returned to the "slow wind" number.
Not to mention eating kangaroo meat.The two exploration ships commanded by Chen Jiang, in the next few days, were on the west coast of "Australia".The place where they landed was a peninsula, north and south, and they could see the coastline that they could not see.
A few days later, by the time of the first day of the threerd of the Great Song United, Chen Jiang had basically determined that he had discovered a continent!
His sea-dmiss ships sailed south along the shoreline for two days, a thousand miles, and looked up, still extending southward to the shore, boundless.
However, the climate and topography and landscape near the coast have changed significantly.The temperature is lower and the climate is getting more humid.
On the first day of November, the watchtower found the forest and a river flowing into the ocean.
But there is still no trace of human activity!
There are forests, rivers, and the temperature is suitable, indicating that there is already a possibility of colonial reclamation!
Without any sign of human activity, it may indeed be an uninhabited continent.
Oh, it's no longer unscrupulous!Zhao Qin and mother-in-law Wu Mei Mai are the masters of this continent.
“This is it!”Chen Jiang ordered, "stop the boat at the mouth of the river, and then get off the boat in half to search, hunt, grab a little more long tail of the jumper (kangaroo), and fill the empty warehouse."We’ll be able to eat meat on the way back!”
The road back is long, because Chen Jiang does not plan to sail directly back to Bali, but will sail north along the mainland's coastline.
He guessed that this continent and Lantau were probably a continent!
If this guess is correct, then less than 1,000 miles from the coast of the mainland from Honolulu... it is a very easy sea to cross.
And after crossing the sea, there are forests and many rivers.Although the weather is too hot, there is not much to develop.However, it is possible to set up a few supply bases!
In this way, it is easy to transport people to and from this new continent... The prisoners of the Great Song can be sent here.It will not be long before the first city can be built on this continent.
Now, big Song, there really is a place where you can open a semi-section!
...
The news of the discovery of the "New Song Mainland" was sent to the Admiralty of the Southern Ocean Marine Force on the island of Xingzhou in early March of the four years of the Great Song United.
Xie, who was in charge of this matter, was waiting to die in a hurry, and thought that Chen Jiang had died in the Southern Ocean.
According to the plan, they set out from Bali for 40 days.At the end of the third year, the news should be in the Star State.
But now it’s March of the United States... If they hadn’t found a replenishable island in the Southern Ocean, they were starving to death and thirsty!
But just when Xie was preparing to hold a funeral for Chen Jiang, the "Smooth Wind" and "ruyi" entered the Xingzhou Island Military Port.
Chen Jiang did not send a fast boat notice, and he returned with two boats.
What is this situation?
Want to rest in Bali?This place is good...
Just a little surprised, Chen Jiang rushed to run away.
“Admiral!I found it, I finally found it.”
“What found?”
“The Continent!“The Continent...”
“A continent?”How much?”
Chen Jiang shook his head, “I don’t know!Shunde and Ruyi sailed along the west coast of this continent for 20 days!The length of the West Coast alone should be more than 5,000 miles.
“5000 miles?” he exclaimed.
5,000 miles!The big Song from the south to the north did not go again, at most more than 3000 miles!
The length of the north and south of this continent is actually more than 5,000 miles, is it not bigger than the Great Song?
“Really fake?”Xie Xing asked.
“Really!Really...” Chen Jiang said, “I can’t be wrong... the Admiral can’t believe it, you can see it for yourself.”From Honolulu, it was only 1000 miles by sea!
“Southern Island is part of this continent!”
“Less than 1,000 miles?”Xie Xing calculated, "Two days can pass... right, what is the climate over there?"How about water?“Is there a national city?”
"The official is right, the more it is really cold to the south!"Chen Jiang said, "There are grasslands on the mainland, there are forests, and there are fertile land suitable for cultivation... But there are no cities and countries, only some wild people, black and black, drinking blood, the number is very small."
Chen Jiang still met several Australian indigenous people ... and caught one of them in a cage to bring Star State, but died on the road and was buried in Honolulu.
"Wait," said Xie, suddenly thinking something, and the excited expression on his face disappeared and became nervous, "discovering the things of the new continent, did not leak out?"
“No!”Chen Jiang shook his head, "Damn, my old Chen is not confused!Now Bali and Honolulu are not our turf ... the news cannot be spilled, or the fleet of the few will be shot.”
“The people on the boat...”
“All but the brothers of the officers and the officers, have not been disembarked in Honolulu or Bali.”Chen Jiang said, "To Xingzhou also went straight to the military port."
"All right!Well done!”Xie Xie grew out of breath.The bell immediately called for a military opportunity, and immediately issued an order for martial law in the military port.
There are barracks in the military port for the crew of the "Slowwind" and "ruyi" to rest, and there are enough venues for them to move.
So they couldn’t leave the barracks for a while, and they had to wait there.
“The officer will immediately arrange for you to go to Jiangning Prefectural Saint!”Xie Xing said, "Everyone else has to stay in the Star State Camp."
"The officer understands," Chen Jiang said, "the lower officer can leave today."
“All right!”Sheldon, “Let’s go today!It's spring, just right.In addition, the officer wrote another document for help, and you took it with you.”
“Ask for help?”
Xie nodded and said, “There are not many warships on this side of Xingzhou.”If you really want to fight, the South Marine won’t necessarily win!”
He had already thought of robbing the land with the big week!
Now the Eastern Song Dynasty has launched active actions in the western and Chao Nan estuary areas, and part of the main force of the South Ocean Marine Corps has gone to the western ocean, and part of the support for the colonization activities in the estuary of the Chao Nan River.
The number of warships remaining in Star State was small, while Zhou's Nanyang Fleet deployed a large number of ships in Port Jugong and Zia.
Once there is a war, the situation is very unfavorable to the East Song.
And even worse, Java, the first island in the South China Sea (because of the fertile land, so the highest degree of development) is firmly grasped by the new week.
This gives New Week the ability to put more troops and fleets in the South Ocean!
Therefore, it is best for the East Song side to know the news of the discovery of the new continent in the new week, and completely control Bali, Honolulu and other places, and build a fortress, Tuen stationed heavy troops.
In order to complete these tasks, a large increase in the South Ocean is necessary!
