Liu Yong and Wu Qing chatted very speculatively. When the wine and food were ready, I asked Su Erniang to also come and eat wine together. After all, this Wu Qing was also Su Erniang's subordinate. Now that he has followed Liu Yong from a bandit to a general, he is also grateful to Su Erniang.

In fact, Wu Qing is fifty or six years old in Chinese New Year's Eve. He went up Goosehead Mountain when he was eighteen years old. After three or four years, he soon rose from a small soldier to the position of leader. Su Erniang's father still respects him kindly.

Later, when the cottage was temporarily represented by Su Erniang, he was Su Erniang's right-hand man. The big and small things in the cottage are also handled by him for Su Erniang. Su Erniang also became more worry-free.

At the wine table, Su Erniang also congratulated Wu Qing on winning the battle and annihilating the pirates in one fell swoop. In fact, what they didn't know was that the pirates that Wu Qing had annihilated were all the pirates in this sea area.

However, the pirates of this sea will not disappear, and new pirates will be born.

In the evening, Liu Yong still ordered the voyage to stop.

The next day continued to set sail, now the sea was unobstructed in front of him, and there were no annoying flies behind him, and Liu Yong's heart was also a lot more relaxed.

At this time, he was bathed in the morning sun, standing on the bow of the Eternity, looking at the far south.

The Yongshi spread its huge sails and led seventy ships straight to Liu Yong's destination.

After half a year of sailing, they finally crossed the Mozambique Channel and landed on the coastline of South Africa.

Sure enough, it was desolate and primitive.

They went ashore and traveled inland for dozens of miles, because they saw not a single village or tribe, and not even a single figure could be seen.

The place where they landed was probably the East China Sea in South Africa, and along the coastline was a plain land. The gold miners thought that there were no gold mines in the plains. If you want to find gold mines, you have to go to the mountains.

Southern Africa is basically a highland zone, and the least lacking is the high mountains. Standing on the plains along the coastline, you can clearly see the mountains in the east.

Liu Yong took a thousand soldiers and support personnel and entered the mainland. And the rest have to take care of the fleet. As a safeguard for the rear.

On the way, Liu Yong had already prepared the horses. He and Ouyang Lanlan, Yun'er, Su Erniang and Maria were all riding horses. Some of the servants had to walk.

Of course, there were also Wu Qing and the two lieutenants on horseback. They also came with Liu Yong. There were also two vice-presidents left on the flotilla in case there were pirates. In fact, this is somewhat unfounded. It's so inaccessible that you can't even see a single person on land, let alone pirates.

Liu Yong knows that there are many wild animals here, especially lions, leopards, hyenas and so on, which must be guarded against. The thousand soldiers were all armed. Although it is not a shotgun, it is enough to deal with large carnivores such as lions. The soldiers are trained. Killing a lion by several people shouldn't be a problem.

But there is one thing that Liu Yong is still worried about, that is, lions and walking dogs are social animals. If you encounter a large group, it is really difficult to do. Fortunately, Liu Yong prepared a special firearm for these soldiers, that is, grenades. This is also what Liu Yong especially asked those inventors to develop. Of course, the idea is Liu Yong's. The design principle is also based on firecrackers. The exterior is a thin sheet of iron, and the inside is full of explosives. It looks a bit like a grenade now. Yes

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

The lead is used to ignite.

The soldiers each carried ten of these bombs with them, and they were also armed with fire breakers. As long as there is danger, take one, light it with a fire breaker, and throw it out.

Liu Yong also brought some explosives for mining.

With this equipment, their team is not afraid of any wild beasts. In one day, they crossed the plains and went up to the plateau. They really didn't see any beasts during this time. I've only seen a few pythons. There were no attacks either.

When you get to the plateau, the scenery is different. Except for the mountains in the distance, there is a prairie.

Liu Yong knew that this was the place where lions were infested.

Dozens of vultures hovered in the sky, searching for the carrion on the ground.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and in order to hurry, they did not stop at noon, and solved the problem of eating while walking. But in the evening, they set up camp. It's also good to make a hearty dinner.

The maid gritted her teeth followed the rough maid. After all, they are women, and their physical strength is not enough. But there were no extra horses for them to ride. I had to stick to it. Those rough maids are okay, they have all suffered hardships, and they don't feel anything. On the contrary, Maria's maid Lena was a little unable to hold on.

Sometimes, Maria would let Lena ride with her. It can be regarded as solving the problem of Lena's physical exhaustion.

This time, Liu Yong didn't think about how far he had to go, and he didn't want to leave the coastline too far. The fleet is its rear base camp, and some of the special reconnaissance equipment is still on board. This time it is purely for the sake of investigation, and by the way, to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Africa.

Indeed, this grassland is magnificent. It's vast. It's winter, and the climate isn't so cold, but it's not warm. The golden yellow of the grassland, with the tan of the mountains, all look so desolate.

Entering the grassland, Liu Yong asked everyone to be careful.

They were going through the meadow to the opposite hill. The gold mining masters knew at a glance that there would be gold mines on the opposite mountain, and there were many of them.

At noon the next day, Liu Yong's team finally crossed the grassland and reached the foot of the mountain.

During this period, I really met a lion, but lions are not stupid, and they know that people and animals are different. They think that man is something that cannot be eaten, something that is alive. Coupled with Liu Yong's more than 1,000 people, he belongs to the largest ethnic group in this grassland. A dozen lions did not dare to act rashly.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Liu Yong set up camp. Rest for the night, and the next morning for mountain surveys.

At night, bonfires are lit around the tent so that no animal dares to approach it.

The soldiers stood guard again, and Liu Yong and the others fell asleep peacefully.

In fact, along the way, Ouyang Lanlan, Yun'er, Su Erniang, and Maria were all amazed by the scenery of this plateau. It's a view they've never seen before.

Liu Yong didn't have any curiosity, although he hadn't been here in his later life, but he had seen it on TV. Moreover, he has also seen the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It's about the same as the scenery here.

Of course, in general, it is still different.
