The only street in Sydney, a four-story white castle stands in the center of Windsor Avenue.
Behind the bright floor-to-ceiling windows is a huge desk made of mahogany.
This stack of documents is neatly placed on the table, and the paper is slightly yellowed.
A fine quill made in Italy is inserted into the dark ink bottle.
A white man with his hairline receding and wearing a blue-black tuxedo sat on a beautifully withered mahogany chair. His blond hair was mixed with silver-white strands.
The slender chin and high nose bridge make his face more three-dimensional.
There was another person in the room, a young man of medium build and long brown hair.
The man's long brown hair was tied together on his back.
The young man looked a little shy.
The older man is the new Governor of New South Wales, John Young. The young man is his assistant Frank Longbottom.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I have not found the grand leader, Mr. Crane. I heard that he took people to the north. Half a year ago, an external force penetrated into the mainland from the north. They attacked a small town in the north."
"The grand leader took his people to take revenge last month. But he hasn't come back yet."
Longbottom seems to have been sent out on some errands by Governor John Young, and he has not returned yet.
"Huh! These guys know how to protect their own interests. Now we may even lose Sydney. Let's see how these people can keep their power." John Yang cursed helplessly.
He was ordered to come to New South Wales at a critical moment.
Since arriving here, New South Wales has been basically cut off from the outside world.
People in the city were also in panic, and there were always people paying a lot of money to board the Dutch merchant ships that occasionally arrived secretly.
The departure of these wealthy people has made the already lackluster city even more depressed.
In order for John Young to organize a defense here, he first needed to recruit volunteers.
But he is not only short of money but also short of people, so there has been no progress in this matter so far.
Fortunately, a small fleet came from the mainland a few days ago.
This fleet broke in from dangerous waters at great risk.
This moved John Yang very much. After all, it was the navy of the Great Empire.
The Empire had not forgotten New South Wales.
The fleet brought him a sum of money. This solved his money problem.
Originally he thought this fleet would be stationed in New South Wales.
But not long after, a distress letter from New Zealand recruited the fleet away.
After John Young had money, he next needed to recruit volunteers and workers. However, the local population was controlled by the large families formed by the New South Wales regiment that was originally left behind.
These people obeyed the orders of their grand commanders. Successive governors had to compromise with the New South Wales regiment.
It was they who established and controlled the colonial assembly and required the governor's major decisions to pass through the colonial assembly.
And this parliament became their local institution to control.
In fact, after the maritime traffic was blocked.
The local forces were still gloating for a while, because they had always wanted to break away from the rule of the Great Empire.
Especially in recent years, the Daxing government has deported a large number of political prisoners.
Most of these people are Irish and they are committed to the Irish independence movement.
This is a group of educated, high-level exiles.
The arrival of these people brought new ideas to the local area.
Let the seeds of independence burst out here in New South Wales.
The local upstarts of the New South Wales regiment were gradually influenced by these ideas.
They hope to build a new country with themselves as the core, so that everything here will be theirs.
John Young's plan to recruit soldiers has never been able to take shape. Now the leader of the regiment suddenly disappeared.
John Yang thought that the leader was hiding from him.
In fact, the grand leader really took people to the north.
That small town in the north has a lot to do with their New South Wales regiment.
It can be said that it is also an extension of their industry.
The indigenous people on the Australian continent have very weak combat capabilities. Under their continuous extermination over the years, these indigenous people have basically become rare animals.
Therefore, the massacre of the town must be caused by external forces.
However, the news here in New South Wales is very limited. The grand leader did not know that Chinese forces had penetrated here.
This place is so far away from other continents that even the animals have very different appearances, which shows how isolated it is.
Those second-generation white people who were born here think that this is their world.
The grand leader took a total of more than 500 people with him on this trip north.
Don't think that this number is small. The Yin Army's garrison here is only one regiment, with only a thousand men.
But this big leader can pull out 500 people at will.
The Grand Commander's name was Crane, a white man in his forties. He had blond hair and was very handsome. His father was one of the first officers of the New South Wales Regiment.
He and his family own hundreds of square kilometers of land, all of which are the best farms and pastures.
There are hundreds of workers in his family alone.
Crane is an ambitious man, and he also has a formal status as the Speaker of the New South Wales Regional Council.
The New South Wales Regiment flourished under Crane. Originally it was just a loose organization.
Krahn formalized it and set up an organizational system.
He renamed the organization the Knights of New South Wales. He served as the grand master, and there were ten grand knights under him. The formal members were called knights.
They also started accepting new members.
This makes the Knights more powerful in the New World. Their purpose is to control everything in Australia.
Then based on this, the strength of the Knights will be penetrated into the mainland and other colonies.
Their ultimate goal is to become the uncrowned king of the Great Empire.
But at this time, this once glorious and ambitious leader was running for his life in the Gobi Desert like a lost dog.
Let’s start from the beginning.
At the beginning of the year, the Lushun people explored the northern part of the big island.
Massacred a white town called Windola. Successfully conquered a tribe called Kangaroo.
The female leader of the tribe surrendered to Lu Shun with her tribe members because Lu Shun helped them avenge her.
Lu Shun used the livestock and grain captured from the small town to establish the first settlement of the West Pacific Company in the north of the big island.
He left some people to run the settlement with the kangaroo tribe.
Then he continued to explore and returned to Xinhua Island. He immediately compiled a report and sent it to the company's headquarters.
Originally, he thought that those big shots wouldn't care about the suggestion of a small steward like him.
But the final result was beyond his expectation.
The company's top management attached great importance to this and quickly established an Australian branch. They also gave Lu Shun great support in terms of manpower.
Lu Shun was appointed as the branch manager. He soon returned to Australia with more than 2,000 people.
First, he built a port at an estuary in the southern part of the Bay of Carpentaria. He named the port "Nanhua Port".
Of course, the port is still relatively crude now. He doesn't have enough time to build the port.
This time the company gave him so many people to bring him to mine gold.
The company's top executives are naturally interested in this gold mine.
According to Lu Shun, this is a very high-quality gold mine.
Naturally, the company will not let go of such an opportunity to realize cash quickly.
The amount of silver reserves currently held by the Renaissance Army is already relatively high.
Silver depreciated and gold became more and more valuable locally.
The Renaissance Army attaches great importance to gold reserves. All the gold was taken back by the Renaissance Bank.
There is a shortage of gold in the market, so the value of gold is getting higher and higher.
Soon Lu Shun brought these thousands of people to the settlement he had established before.
These people began to expand the settlement and then used it as a base to mine the river next to it.
As the first batch of gold was sent back, the headquarters paid more and more attention to this place.
Just two months ago, the headquarters suddenly sent thousands of security personnel.
Now Lu Shun is confused. No matter how much the headquarters values itself, it won't put so many people here.
Then a senior director came over.
This director's name is Su Ting, and he is a director who is responsible for the company's security personnel.
It is said that this person was one of the first bodyguards of the president.
If he hadn't joined the company, he would be a general guarding one side by now.
Director Su is young, but he always has a cold face.
The people in the security team seemed to be very afraid of him. The arrival of this man made Lu Shun's status drop a lot.
He is no longer the local emperor here.
After all the military power in his hands was handed over, Lu Shun could only focus on developing his company's base.
Just when Lu Shun was immersed in development in Bei'ao.
Crane led more than 500 people to the small town of Windora.
The place is already in ruins, and grass has grown between the burned-out houses.
However, the clever Krahn still found the enemy's retreat direction from clues.
On the Australian continent, Krahn is proud.
In his opinion, this is his territory. And no matter who makes trouble on his territory, he must pay a price.
Crane didn't take these outsiders seriously at all.
At this time, the expedition team usually does not exceed a hundred people.
If there are any more, the expedition ship will not be able to carry them.
Krahn went all the way north, and Lu Shun and the others had captured so much supplies that they would leave some traces along the way.
Following these traces, Crane first discovered an indigenous tribe.
He actually found livestock here that only white people have. Apparently these monkeys also participated in the attack on the town.
Krahn immediately became furious and led his men to annihilate the indigenous tribe.
It was his unnecessary actions that exposed his whereabouts.
This tribe has surrendered to the kangaroo tribe.
A tribe member who was returning from an errand in the kangaroo tribe happened to see this scene.
This native was not stupid and hurried to the settlement established by Lu Shun.
After a while, he reported the news to Lu Shun.
Lu Shun reported the matter to Su Ting again.
Su Ting immediately sent out elite team members to detect and target the enemy.
At this time, Crane did not know that the crisis had arrived.
He was still leading his five hundred men to fight against Lu Shun's settlement without fear of death.
Su Ting has an absolute numerical advantage.
He simply set up an ambush circle and waited for the enemy to come obediently.
Krahn, who has always been arrogant in mainland Australia, really walked in with arrogance.
The results can be imagined.
However, these white men were really tough, and they escorted Crane through a gap.
Chased by the West Pacific Company security team, Krahn had no choice but to run into the Gobi Desert.
Up to now, he has been wandering around the Gobi Desert for half a month and has not yet come out.
Central Australia is full of uninhabited deserts.
Krahn was able to survive until now because of his excellent survival ability in the wild, but his horse had been killed by him long ago.
At this time, there were only four people left beside him, and each of them carried not only a gun but also a piece of smoked horse meat.
Recalling the scene in the canyon, Krahn still felt like he was having a nightmare.
Those short yellow men in black clothes rushed towards me from the hillside like a gust of wind.
He didn't care at all that he and his companions were blocking him with guns.
Su Ting's security team is mainly from Fusang and Annan.
Retired veterans recruited locally serve as grassroots officers. Cheap Fuso people are the main component of grassroots combatants.
These Fuso people are treated very well in the security team and they all cherish this job.
Those who are passive, timid, or unable to complete training tasks will be expelled from the team.
These Fuso warriors would consider being expelled as the greatest shame, and some would even commit seppuku.
So on the battlefield, as long as the officer's order is given, they will rush forward regardless of the cost.
In West Pacific Company, the Fuso workers in the plantations are proud to be selected into the security team.
Su Ting knew what their team was doing in Australia.
Through the captured white people, Su Ting learned some important information.
The most important thing is the distribution of some settlements of the Korean people in the southeastern region.
The Australian continent is too big, and Su Ting is not strong enough to attack places in Sydney where a large population gathers.
He could only attack scattered settlements first.
Even though the domestic regular army has not yet arrived.
He can also act in advance, because the Han people do not have many regular troops here.
John Young also relied on temporarily recruited militia.
But there's a problem with these militiamen, and that's whether they can be allowed to defend their homes.
If they were to take the initiative and fight elsewhere, it would not be that easy.
Because they have to consider who will protect their family's safety.
Therefore, Su Ting can completely use his local advantages to uproot these white settlements one by one.
The original problem was that they didn't know where these settlements were.
It would take a lot of time to look for them one by one.
During the search process, their logistical supplies were also a problem.
Now that Su Ting knows about these settlements through the people brought by Crane, the problem will be solved.
Under Lu Shun's reluctant eyes, Su Ting set off with his security team.
Lu Shun, who loves adventure by nature, actually wanted to set off with the security team.
But seeing Su Ting's cold face, Lu Shun finally didn't ask him.
He knew that this cold-faced general would not pay attention to him.
You should concentrate on farming at the rear. After this continent is conquered, you will eventually have to manage it yourself.
