After continuing to sail to the south for 3 days, the fleet's course deflected. They moved from south to southwest, and the direction slowly deflected to the west. Almost all the crew, sailors, and servants held their breath.

There are only two possibilities for the current situation. One is that they finally reached the end of the East Coast, and the other is that this place is just a peninsula that protrudes from the mainland.

The ship continued to deflect westward until there was no mainland ahead. Captain Cheng Hong finally announced loudly: "According to the location of the military leader's sign, we should have arrived at a bay called Melbourne. The waterway exploration on the east coast of Oceania has been over. We have arrived at the final destination of this voyage! We can go ashore to establish a stronghold!"

"Long live, long live!" The crew members cheered loudly and shouted excitedly.

Along the way, they avoided countless reefs and encountered storms in the South Pacific along the way, and were careful all the way. Although the voyage was delayed, they finally completed the mission assigned by the military and became the first fleet to successfully explore the east coast of Oceania!

"It's not easy." Cheng Hong sighed quite emotional. They had no support for this expedition. Even if they encountered a storm in the middle, the news could not be transmitted back to China and Nanyang.

The ships arriving at their destination followed the river in Melbourne Bay to the north and then broke down, and the crew set foot on the land in the southeastern corner of the Oceania continent!

"The grassland here is very suitable for building a pasture, but unfortunately it is a little cold now." said the sailors looking at the land.

"We want to build a new city here. It is located at the end of the sky, so it is called Tianji City." Cheng Hong gave a random name.

The mainland here is explored by Chinese people and built cities here. It is too difficult to call Melbourne, so it was changed to Tianji City.

"Tianji City! This will be the city we built with our own hands!" All the crew members are in a thrilling mood now. A brand new city will be built by them personally. In the future, those who live in this city will always remember them, such pioneers!

"You dozen or so people paired up and went to explore the nearby terrain separately, and the others went to carry supplies on the boat." Cheng Hong directed the sailors to unload supplies from the boat in a hurry.

"Be careful, don't let artillery and gunpowder soak in water!"

In addition to daily necessities, these sailors also moved two smoothbore cannons and a bucket of gunpowder.

These two smoothbore cannons and gunpowder were their powerful weapons to conquer this uninhabited land, and of course the muskets carried by sailors and the others.

There are also livestock brought with the boat, including ten sheep, ten pigs, hundreds of chickens, hundreds of ducks, and several local dogs.

"Kangaroo meat is too fishy. In the future, we still have to rely on these sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks to reproduce to provide us with meat. We should not eat them for the time being, so as not to eat meat in the future." After trying kangaroo meat on the boat, the crew members who came from China said that kangaroo meat is far less delicious than the usual domestic livestock meat, and directly equated kangaroos and ordinary rats.

"Before the ranch is established, we can also fish and improve the food, and then see if we can catch any delicious animals here." Cheng Hong was also afraid of kangaroo meat, but now they brought so many pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks. If they were greedy for a moment, they would not be able to live the next life.

So the livestock brought are used to breed here. After only ten or twenty years of breeding, they can quickly reproduce and survive on this strange land!

They left a team of ten men to guard the ships, while other large troops were looking for suitable places to build cities. This place was originally an excellent harbor, with rivers, plains, and hidden gold mines. They chose to establish strongholds in the plains near the Yara River, and chose to set up observation posts on a low mountain not far away, and arranged two sentries.

Cheng Hong also had to arrange for people to collect stones and wood to build a town. Before Tianji City was developed, it could be called a town at most. Moreover, this backward road was poor and had a pitiful population, so there was no one indigenous people or thatched huts were seen.

This time they arrived four hundred people, including soldiers, sailors, craftsmen, gentlemen, doctors, and of course very important herdsmen and farmers, who helped to reclaim farmland and pastures. Among them, there were less than a hundred soldiers and more people from other professions.

Cheng Hong brought people to the low high ground where the observation post was located, and inserted the flag symbolizing the Navy of the Jiuzhou Army into the ground, and the Qinglong flag was roaring in the wind!

From now on, the latitude of the direct sunlight point is above the territory of the Kyushu Army! The territory of the Kyushu Army has covered the extensive territory from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Cancer in the Eastern Hemisphere!

Looking up at the Qinglong Banner fluttering in the wind, Cheng Hong was surging his efforts. Hundreds of people conquered a continent, and this was just the beginning.

"Captain, how long do we need to stay here?" asked the two soldiers on duty at the outpost.

Although it was an exciting thing for them to open up a new stronghold, their roots were still in the north.

"After a year, we will send some people back to Nanyang. After contacting the military, they will send a second batch of immigrants to this rotation, so that there will always be someone who is stationed here." Cheng Hong said, "Don't worry, I will definitely stay here before you leave here."

"Yes!" said the two soldiers.

"We are back who went around to explore the terrain!" someone shouted on the low high ground.

Cheng Hong looked into the distance and saw two people holding muskets running back in the northeast direction.

"Why are they so panicked? Could it be that they met some ferocious beast?" Cheng Hong saw that the two people who had returned were withdrawing at a very fast speed.

"It's unlikely. We haven't seen any vicious beasts on this continent when we were docking along the way. The most venomous one is the poisonous snake. But if we encounter poisonous snakes, there is no need to run away and expose our backs to them." The people following Cheng Hong couldn't help but wonder.

However, as the two musketeers ran back, they soon discovered that behind them was not a ferocious beast, but a camouflaged native. A large group of natives held stone spears and stone axes were chasing behind them, with a large number of hundreds!

"How come these two guys have provoked the indigenous people..." Cheng Hong originally thought that he would soon meet the indigenous people living in this area, but as a result, his subordinates brought him trouble as soon as they logged in.
Chapter completed!
