Chapter 962 Return

"Your Highness, how should we get along with these natives in the future?"

Seeing the natives leave, Zhou Yi suddenly showed a thoughtful expression. Read М

Although these natives were basically massacred by the British.

But even if the number is small, we have to face this problem.

"Reform the natives." Zhao Xu said.

The natives are the chieftains in contemporary history.

In contemporary history, the Central Plains dynasty finally figured out this method after a long period of friction and struggle with the chieftains in the border areas.

This method is that the court directly appoints officials to rule the local chieftains.

The previous dynasties basically let the local chieftains manage themselves.

So this led to a lot of rebellions.

Now, after the Australian continent was massacred by the British, it is naturally impossible to control it.

Abandoning this piece of land of abundance is equivalent to letting others occupy it.

After all, it has entered the modern era. With the improvement of transportation capacity, this continent will be exposed to everyone in the world.

So, he worked hard to conquer it, and naturally he would not give it up.

But since it has been decided to occupy the Australian continent, as Zhou Yi considered, the indigenous issues on the island must be dealt with.

Then the reform of the natives is naturally the most appropriate way.

Moreover, they drove away the British and came to the Australian continent as liberators.

The indigenous people here are more likely to accept them, and even hope that they will stay to protect them from the bottom of their hearts.

In this way, even after one or two hundred years, no one can find any stains on them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu explained it to everyone.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Zhou Yi said: "All under heaven is the king's land, and all the people are the king's subjects. It's wonderful."

At this time, everyone laughed again.

After saying this, Zhao Xu entered the Governor's Mansion.

In general, the war on the Australian continent ended.

The only remaining problem is the Aland Territory.

This only requires the Marines to send soldiers to take over.

Because from the confession of the prisoners, he learned that in order to concentrate troops, Oliver also dispatched the troops of the Aland Territory here.

The Alande Territory is just an empty city without any defenses.

"Once you take over the Alande Territory, you can start to encircle the land." Sitting down in the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Xu said to the generals, "As for the reward rules, I will discuss it with your General Zhou."

This is his promise, so he must fulfill it.

The generals looked at each other with excitement.

Then Zhao Xu said, "After you have encircled the land, you will immediately transfer the main force to Luzon and establish a supply point between Luzon and Malacca to prepare for the capture of Malacca."

After a pause, he said, "As for me, I will not accompany you. I will return to Dasong tomorrow. The Western Land Coalition and the countries under their control, such as Jiaozhi, Piaoman, and Tianzhu, have been restless. The Northern Di and Ross countries in the north are also eyeing them covetously. They have wasted so much time and effort, and they must be invading Dasong. I need to go back and stabilize the morale of the army."

Zhou Yi, Gong Ying, Pan Chang and others looked solemn.

They were so happy that they forgot everything after they made rapid progress and were about to be rewarded.

When the King of Yan said this, they suddenly woke up.

The danger of Dasong had not yet come into contact.

Whether it was Luzon or the Australian continent, it was just a small fight on the periphery.

"Your Highness, it will not be too late to reward us after we defeat the Western Alliance. I will also set out tomorrow and go to Luzon immediately." Zhou Yi said.

"That's right." The other generals looked firm and echoed in unison.

Zhao Xu shook his head, "That's not necessary. Let's reward you first. When you have your own pasture here, you will be more motivated to fight the Westerners in order to protect your overseas property, right?"

"Your Highness really understands people's hearts." Gong Ying laughed, and the generals also smiled knowingly.

Zhao Xu nodded, "Besides, when I come here next time, I hope there will be herds of cattle and sheep here, the plantations will be thriving, and you will be their masters."

After he said this, many generals even lost themselves in fantasy and began to fantasize about the arrival of this day.

The love for the land is engraved in their bones.

Who doesn't want to own a vast pasture of their own?

After chatting with the generals for a few more words, Zhao Xu kept Zhou Yi and let the others disperse.

That night, the two discussed the details of rewarding merits and decided how much time to give for horse racing according to merits.

The next morning, he came to the port and boarded the warship.

After saluting the naval generals who came to see him off, Zhao Xu took the warship to Dasong.

Starting from New South Wales, they first passed through Queensland, then passed through Moro Island, and arrived in Yizhou.

When he returned to Jinghai, he spent a full fifteen days on the sea.

Then, he took a steam locomotive back to Yancheng, where he had been away for more than a month.

At this time, Liu Fu, Yang Feng, Chang Wei and other generals were waiting for him at the station.

When he passed Haicheng, he sent a telegram to Yancheng in advance.

This Haicheng is the contemporary Fuzhou. After Lincheng, the wired telegraph was laid here.

When he was in Jinghai, he sent another telegram.

So, they all knew their itinerary.

Accompanied by the court officials, Zhao Xu first went to Wuji Palace.

The mother was worried about her son's absence, so she had to tell them that he was safe first.

"So, Xu'er, you conquered a big island that is only slightly smaller than Dasong?" Zhao Xu briefly talked about the battle of the Australian continent when he saw Zhao Heng.

When he introduced this continent, Zhao Heng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Yes, father." Zhao Xu said, "If father wants to go, I can send a boat to take you to see and play."

"Incredible, incredible." Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Xu and was very happy.

He thought Zhao Xu had shown him enough surprises, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

Although he, the ninth son, is the real helmsman of Dasong at the moment, he only has a false name.

But in the history books, when recording Zhao Xu's great achievements, he will definitely mention him as an emperor.

And this satisfied him, and he will never regret it in this life.

Queen Mi didn't care how much territory Zhao Xu conquered. She just looked at Zhao Xu and cared about whether Zhao Xu ate well and whether he was thin.

Finally, she said seriously, "Don't run around this time. Your father and I are getting older day by day. We just want to have children and grandchildren to enjoy our happiness. You and Susu should give me three or five grandchildren as soon as possible."

Yang Feng heard this and took the opportunity to agree, "Your Majesty is right."

Liu Fu and others all smiled. They were happy to see Zhao Xu suffer in front of Queen Mi.

After all, she was the only one in Dasong who could rebuke Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu scratched his head.

In fact, he was a modern man and didn't want to have children so early.

But being put here, he made a few random excuses and was ready to let things take their course in the future.

After that, he led the ministers back to the palace and asked about the current situation around Dasong.
