Chapter 829: The Yellow Crane is gone
Yang Feng's last stop around the world was Australia......
You don't have to go to the Americas.
At this time, the first fleet of the joint venture between Chen Youding, the king of Fujian, Zhao Lin'er, the king of Song, and Ming Yuzhen, the king of Shu, to open up routes to the Americas had just set sail.
Schooner fleet.
This is also the immortal master who opened it up for them.
After all, they are different from others, others don't need to sail almost 20,000 miles like them without any coastal docking, not to mention Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, who said that they were crossing the sea, in fact, they jumped along the coastline, even if Fang Guozhen sailed to Australia, it was just a frog jumping all the way from the Nanyang Islands, and the farthest voyage was only the two thousand miles from Champa to Borneo. All that remains is to jump from Borneo to Java, from Java to Timor, from Timor to Darwin, and from Darwin along the coast of Australia through the Torres Strait to the south. Then along the verdant coastline when encountering an estuary, it will be suspended, and a small boat will be sent to land and replenish fresh water to hunt some small animals by the way, and if you encounter an indigenous tribe, you will simply hunt together, and continue to move forward after the supply is sufficient, so you can enjoy the coastal scenery of Australia to the west, and the magnificent beauty of the Great Barrier Reef to the east, all the way south to Melbourne.
The voyage was easy, there wasn't even much extra supply needed on board, and whatever was available off the coast of Australia.
But the Americas route is different.
Even if Chen Youding's route had the help of Kuroshio, if they took the Kuroshio route completely, then they couldn't go through Hawaii, Hawaii is on a tributary of the Kuroshio, but the mainstream of the Kuroshio is almost straight to the Americas from the northeast of the Japanese country, and there is no supply place for the 15,000-mile voyage, and not even a single island can be seen.
So they have to be fast.
The Skuna schooner, which was historically used primarily for transpacific purposes, was their best choice, with the fastest speed, the fewest crew, and the Kuroshio route, which allowed them to cross the Pacific in less than two months. During the First Bariri War, the American gunboat Enterprise crossed the Atlantic Ocean and entered the Mediterranean Sea in just over a month and a half to join the North African pirate battle against Tripoli, and its range was similar to that of the Kuroshio sailing from the Japanese to the west coast of the United States.
So this kind of sailboat is the best choice.
As long as you can reach the west coast of America, the rest is nothing more than to go south along the coastline, Chen Youding's goal is San Francisco, he is going to pan for gold, Yang Feng has already told him where to go to pan for gold, and the area around the Sacramento River is also enough to develop agriculture, while clearing wasteland and farming, while fishing and hunting, and panning for gold by the way, this life is good enough, as for the Indians......
This has its own solution.
The immortals have dealt with the Indians many times, and this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning at all.
And Ming Yuzhen's target is Mexico.
Of course, it's not just him, in fact, the three families are ready to join forces to carry out an expedition to the Aztecs to recover the investment in this voyage, as for the real destination, it will be a matter of the future, after all, the immortal master has told them that the Aztecs are still using stone tools, and their main metal is gold, of course, such fat must be the first to start, in case the immortal master is in a good mood and tells Zhu Yuanzhang that it will be troublesome. Lao Zhu was still thinking westward at this time, and it was said that he would hang the head of the Western hero mentioned by the immortal master on the gate of Yingtian in his lifetime, although he was also developing overseas, but the main target was the spices of the South Seas, and he had not yet put the distant Americas in his eyes.
And Zhao Lin'er's real goal is South America, he is going to the saltpeter mine, which is the most important strategic resource in the future, in the era of no synthetic ammonia, Chilean saltpeter is the most important resource in the world.
Although Shanshan also has saltpeter.
But Shanshan's saltpeter can only be said to be a supplement at most before Zhu Yuanzhang has the ability to build a direct railway there, and the saltpeter sent from Chile across the ocean is the real lifeblood, no matter war or industry, no one can do without this. Zhao Lin'er just wants to rely on his special identity to grab it first, he is Yang Feng's eldest disciple, and he is also the Song King of the Ming Dynasty, his fief is in the Ming Dynasty, but he is still a special vassal king who does not need to be a vassal to the Ming Emperor, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty do not apply to him. With this identity protector, as long as he controls the saltpeter mine in advance, turns it into a Song domain, and then contracts these saltpeter mines to Zhu Yuanzhang's businessmen, he only needs to share the profits, and the rest is to eat, drink, and enjoy the wealth and glory.
Just like the Arab princes who contracted all the oil fields to American oil companies and then desperately flaunted their wealth under the wing of the Americans.
This is what Yang Feng taught him.
In addition, Yang Feng also taught him to go to the Incas to get potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes to cultivate, and then introduce the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Yuanzhang for free, as long as he does this well, this alone is enough to make him a saint in the minds of the people, a great disciple of the gods, a sage who brings immortal seeds to the people, these two halos are added, even if Yang Feng is not there in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants will not dare to touch the descendants of the Zhao family.
"It's a paradise!"
Yang Feng stood on the coast of the North Island of New Zealand, which is equivalent to modern Auckland, and looked at the verdant green in front of him and sighed.
At his feet were hundreds of Maori prostrate.
And next to him are the loaded Vietnamese marines, in the bay behind them, six cruisers are moored, this is Fang Guozhen sent an expeditionary force to establish a colony in New Zealand, but Fang Guozhen is still in Daming at this time, and it is his younger brother Fang Guomin who came to explore Australia instead of him. As for his younger brother Fang Guoying, who followed Yang Feng's personal expedition, he was trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and still served as the Yunnan envoy under Zhu Yuanzhang, and the previous conquest of Burma was jointly commanded by Fang Guoying and Liao Yongzhong. The latter landed by sea, and Fang Guoying led the Yunnan garrison along the Irrawaddy River with the Yunnan garrison, led by those Tusi who had returned to the Shun, and slaughtered the city after conquering Awa, or Mandalay, forcing all the cities downstream, including Bagan, to surrender.
So the Fang family was actually divided into two branches.
Fang Guozhen came to the colony to be the king of Yue, the country of his Ming Dynasty, and Fang Guoying stayed in the mainland as the newly appointed Marquis of the Ming Dynasty.
It's not just them.
The family of Chen Youliang and others is like this.
One of Chen Youliang's younger brothers and his father are also ministers in the Ming Dynasty, his father is still an earl, and some people in the Zhang Shicheng family also stay in the local area as ministers, so that they can collude inside and outside, and the vassal kings can control the local property through these local relatives, and they all have a lot of wealth in the local area, whether it is land, real estate or factories, they are still theirs. In fact, the vast majority of their munitions are also produced in their own factories, Zhu Yuanzhang's factory doesn't care about others at all, he just supplies Xu Da's Western Expeditionary Army, Chang Yuchun's Northern Expeditionary Army, and Liao Yongzhong's Nanyang Army is already very difficult.
In addition, this method also ensured their communication with the imperial court.
These local relatives rely on their special status to ensure wealth and wealth, and in effect act as ambassadors.
Just as Yang Feng finished saying this, dozens of soldiers suddenly ran out of a forest in front of them in horror.
"Monsters, there's monsters here!"
One of them shouted anxiously as he ran.
"Idiot, there are some monsters that the immortal master is afraid of, and besides, is it the first time you have seen an overseas beast?"
Fang Guomin, who was beside Yang Feng, scolded angrily.
But after saying this, he was also stupid, because at this moment, from the woods behind those soldiers, a group of behemoths that were at least one zhang tall rushed out, to be precise, giant birds, although Fang Guomin had also seen emus before, but at this moment, these giant birds that looked like emus, but they were almost twice the size of an emu, and even more than an elephant, still made him dumbfounded, especially these behemoths were galloping at a speed comparable to that of a war horse, and the huge bird claws were splashing dirt on the ground.
The Maori scattered in fright.
"Raise your gun, aim!"
Fang Guomin wiped his cold sweat and shouted.
Without his order, those marines had already raised their guns, and even a cannon that had just come ashore was aimed at these monster-level giant birds.
"No need to fire!"
Yang Feng said indifferently.
Immediately after his right hand flicked in mid-air, the ferocious air flow instantly forward, with flying grass and dust crashed over, a moa that had just arrived twenty meters away from him, was immediately hit by the wind at this speed of hundreds of miles, and was suddenly overturned by this huge force, and the moa behind was colliding with it, just like the dinosaurs that collided together in King Kong, these behemoths collided chaotically, and piled up into a mountain of meat in the splash of feathers.
Without hesitation, those Maori began to worship Yang Feng again.
"Go back and tell King Yue, this place will be left for me to cultivate!"
Yang Feng said to Fang Guomin.
"Disciple Honor!"
Fang Guomin hurriedly said.
Of course, this is a trivial matter, Yue Guo is not short of this place, it is their glory to make a dojo for the immortal master, the immortal master is happy to point them out casually, that is to enjoy endless wealth, before coming, the immortal master just pointed him out a gold mine, this gold mine alone is said to be able to make the 20,000 people who migrated from the Yue country inexhaustible, and the immortal master also said that this gold mine is only the smallest in this land, and there are two other places in the territory of the Yue country alone, which are almost dozens of times that of here.
This is to turn the country of Yue into a country of gold!
What's more, the immortal master also said that in the inland arid region to the north, there is also a huge silver mine.
These are all waiting for the guidance of the immortal master!
Since this is the immortal master's dojo, Fang Guomin immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, he originally wanted to leave a hundred soldiers here as servants, but Yang Feng refused, and Yang Feng also gave him an order, no one is allowed to come over without his permission in the future, and he is not allowed to disturb his cultivation, and gave him a map of the minerals of Australia and New Guinea Island, and then the immortal master grabbed a moa that had just gotten up, and went directly to its back, just like those immortals who rode those strange beasts in the god list, The giant bird, whose head was almost up to the window on the second floor, disappeared into the boundless green on its back.
Fang Guomin could only retreat in a hurry.
At the same time as he retreated, Yang Feng rode a moa surrounded by Maori, leisurely wandering in the scenery of the North Island of New Zealand, and accepting the worship of Maori tribes along the way, he wandered to a nearby mountain that suited his heart, and then flew directly to the top of the mountain, and transformed this granite peak, and finally turned it into a 50-meter-high column with a diameter of 100 meters with a steep rock wall like a mirror, and made a small fairy palace for himself at the top of the column......
Of course he wasn't practicing in this hellish place.
He's just fooling people.
"That's it!"
When Asgard was finished, he looked at his work with satisfaction, and the next moment his body suddenly turned into countless cells and flew in all directions, and then his soul returned to his own body.
"Do it everywhere in the future!"
From the sleeping room built for him by the Americans, which is completely comparable to a science fiction movie, Yang Feng, who got up in the cold storage, said with satisfaction.
He wanted New Zealand to be a dojo just so that he could leave quietly, and after he left, as long as Fang Guozhen and the people of the vassals of the Great Ming System obeyed his orders and didn't go over to disturb him, then no outsiders would come over. As for the Maori people on the island, Yang Feng was not in the scope of consideration at all, and the arrival of him and the Yue fleet was completely the arrival of the gods for these semi-savages who were still cannibals, and when they left, the gods left, and these savages continued to be savages. And then in a few decades or hundreds of years, even if someone goes there, the only thing they see is the Asgard Palace that he left behind, which is difficult to build with modern technology......
At the top of a steep mountain at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, making a cylinder with a diameter of 100 meters and a height of 50 meters is also a difficult project for modern people!
Not to mention that there is an immortal palace on it.
This fairy palace is not a fortress.
It is precisely hollowed out of granite.
When such a thing is brought to modern times, it suddenly appears in front of people, and the only things that can be associated are miracles and aliens, ancient civilizations and the like, not to mention those juniors who have grown up under his prestige, they can only be sure of the existence of immortals, but the immortals have returned to the heavenly realm, so only his immortal palace is left here, just like the other immortal palaces.
Then it will become a place of pilgrimage.
"Discover new targets."
Almost as soon as he got up with his colleague, Xiaoqian told him a surprise.
"So fast? I'm still thinking about going out and having some fun! ”
Yang Feng said in amazement.
Then he had to lie down again on his cold bed, and when he opened his eyes again, a new world unfolded in front of him, and then there was a piercing whistling above his head, and before he could react, a 150-level cannonball exploded next to him, and his newly resurrected body was blown to pieces in an instant......
