Chapter 153: Map of the South Seas (2) "What?
How close are we to Australia?
When Liu Renliang heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and his breathing became short.
Of course, he also knew the existence of Australia, and he also knew that the reason why Li Zhen opened up the Age of Exploration was to conquer here, but in their hearts, since it was a continent, it must be far away from Datang, and with the development speed of Datang, it would definitely not be possible to climb here for at least fifty years.
However, looking at the map in my heart, it seems that Australia is not very far from Datang, at least with the Nanyang Islands as a springboard, there is no problem in jumping over step by step.
"Your Highness, you let your subordinates go to sea, your subordinates are not the governor of the Yuezhou fleet, your subordinates are going to find Australia, and your subordinates are going to expand their territory."
Liu Renliang is in a hurry, this is a great credit.
What is there to be the governor of the Yuezhou fleet?
In the whole world, except for the Dengzhou fleet, who will be the opponent of the Yuezhou fleet?
In this part of the South Seas, this fleet is simply abusing children.
There was no energy at all to start a fight.
Where can it be compared to the discovery of the New World?
Whether he can conquer or not is it for the time being, just by virtue of this merit of discovering the New World, he Liu Renliang is enough to be a marquis and a general, and his status in history can be compared with those ancient sages - after all, no matter how powerful the ancient sages are, can they find a new place for millions of Chinese people?
Impossible.
At most, they just fool others with their mouths.
"I mean, you're a little too childish, aren't you?
How did you think that a play is a play?
Looking at Liu Renliang, who was eager to try, Li Zhen smiled: "Just now I said that I was going to stab the Nantianzhu coalition army in the back, why did I forget the previous task as soon as I saw the new credit?"
” "But Your Highness, the task of discovering Australia is none other than your subordinates."
Liu Renliang argued: "It's not that the subordinates blow it themselves, in terms of the entire Tang Dynasty, who can have more sailing experience than the subordinates?"
Australia must go through a lot of hardships, who else in this world is more suitable than subordinates?
As for the war in Tianzhu, there is no need to worry about this, anyway, the task of the Yuezhou fleet is only to escort the land landing, and then put one or two cannons when they are in difficulty, this kind of task can be done by everyone, but exploring Australia is not something that ordinary people can complete, this must be subordinate. ” "Don't worry, the mission of exploring Australia is naturally yours, but not now, and exploring Australia is not as simple as a fleet."
Li Zhen was a little helpless, he regretted releasing this map a little, even a steady person like Liu Renliang looked at it so crazy after hearing about Australia, if it were someone else, maybe he would have to give himself a death sentence - this kind of credit is something that no one will give up.
But now is not the time to complain, let's get down to business.
"I mean, we're too off-topic, aren't we?
What were we talking about?
” "Forehead......"
Liu Renliang was speechless, and if it weren't for your ability to bring rhythm too strongly, would we be crooked?
"Alright, let's move on to the topic."
Li Zhen pointed to the line that extended from the Indochina Peninsula: "This is what this palace asked you to see." ” "It's ......
Okay, this is really God's help to the Tang Dynasty.
Liu Renliang looked at the line that Li Zhen pointed to, and immediately understood what Li Zhen meant, and was very happy, because the line that Li Zhen pointed to was the famous world's first archipelago - the Nanyang Islands (that is, the Malay Archipelago).
As you can see from the map, the Nanyang archipelago contains thousands of large and small islands, including Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, Bali, Sulawesi, New Guinea, the Philippine Islands and many other islands.
That's not all, what really excites Liu Renliang is that these islands are not far from each other, and there are a large number of small islands connected, to put it mildly, as long as there is an accurate course and sufficient supplies, even if you are sitting in a bathtub, you can row over.
No wonder Li Zhen said that it is neither the far sea nor the near sea.
It does make sense, the Nanyang Islands are indeed far away from the mainland in terms of distance, and of course they are far from the sea.
But on the other hand, Li Zhen sent a fleet to explore these islands, and the islands of the Nanyang Islands are so close to each other that sailing from one island to another cannot be regarded as a far sea in any way - this kind of distance navigation can be completed by those captains who have undergone primary training, and there is no need for a big bull like Liu Renliang.
"Yes, this is indeed God bless the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhen was also very happy, this was the plan he had prepared from the beginning, as long as there were enough ships, then the entire Nanyang Islands would be Datang's.
As long as he controls here, Li Zhen can go further, use the Nanyang Islands as a springboard, set foot on the Australian continent in one fell swoop, and completely conquer here.
If calculated according to the distance of the island, Datang is really not far away from Australia, and even as long as sufficient supply stations are established on a few key islands, the huge fleet does not even need to be fully loaded with supplies, and the whole ship is full of goods without worrying about starvation - even if the supply station is not built, the Nanyang Islands are rich in resources, as long as they take the right route, they will not starve to death just by relying on the resources on the island.
What's more, now the English are still drinking blood, Germany and France are still called barbarians by the Byzantine Empire, the Russians are still in the barbarian era, the Americas are still the indigenous world, Tianzhu is being submerged by the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese Kingdom has lost the opportunity to rise, as long as there are a few more years, the Tang Dynasty will set foot on their land, half of the territory of the southern stick has been occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and the only remaining Silla is also trembling under the military power of the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of grandchildren......
This is really the best era, in such an era, Datang's future enemies have either not appeared, or have been destroyed, even if they can pose a threat to Datang now, they are destined to disappear under the wolf smoke of Datang - in this era, Datang is the only overlord in the world, destined to be immortal for thousands of years.
"That's my plan."
Li Zhen pointed to the map and said: "We haven't taken out this map before, because we don't have enough ships, once the news leaks, then our enemies will definitely not sit back and watch us grow and grow."

But now that our ship is finally here, there is no need to hide. ” With more than 1,000 large ships, plus supporting small boats, Li Zhen is sure that he can explore one-fifth of the Nanyang Islands in one voyage - of course, Li Zhen will definitely not be able to sail all the ships at one time.
The reason is simple - no one.
