My Daming New Empire

In this formation, their fleet was transferred to 600 people, and according to the orders of the headquarters, they were divided into three exploration teams according to different establishments.

Sunan was worried about other people leading the team, so he decided to lead the team himself, and asked the deputy general manager Bian Cheng to guard the fleet.

Even Bian Cheng didn't want to go out and take risks. If he stayed at the base, he might be transferred by the headquarters to build the base so that he could show his face in front of His Highness.

Of the 600 of them, there were two hundred musketeers and three hundred swordsmen.The navy does not have a supply team, only a logistics team. He also brought half of the navigator, surveyors, and cooks on board.

When they arrived on the shore, they were assigned another [-] young troops, most of whom were musketeers, and there were ten people on a cart, responsible for carrying luggage, and they would also use these carts to transport kangaroos.

These 1000 or [-] people were assigned four students from Habayashi Guard School to lead the team. Sunan, the general manager, could only serve as a deputy, but Sunan didn't complain at all.

Today's Habayashi Guard has already been deified. Although the First Fleet is His Highness's personal army, the young army is also His Highness's personal army, and Habayashi is His Highness's personal guard.

However, only Habayashi Essay is what His Highness really values ​​most.

The soldiers who have been trained from Habayashi Guard are all talented in civil and military affairs, and they can at least be a general in any army they go to.

Moreover, the person sent to their phalanx was actually the general manager of Habayashi Wei Xue.The general manager of Habayashi Guards can only be compared with at least a first-level defensive official after he comes out.

What's more, this boss is actually Zhang Wu, the eldest son of Peng Chengbo's mansion, and this is His Royal Highness's cousin, and they are not unconvinced.

And Zhang Wu is not lonely, he looks very friendly, he came to the phalanx with the transfer order from the headquarters, and greeted Sunan, Chu Dayun, the general of the young army, and a few generals held a meeting together.

"Everyone is older than me. Although I was appointed as the team leader this time, in my opinion, the leader's responsibility is to be good eyes and ears for everyone. As for marching and fighting, hunting the enemy, everything depends on you."

Seeing Zhang Wu's meekness, Sunan and Chu Dayun felt a little dissatisfied, and they felt much more comfortable now.

The oldest Chu Dayun said: "General Zhang is too modest. Who doesn't know that the soldiers of the Habayashi Guards see the third grade of the official university, and you are not relying on His Highness's favor, but you have real materials. This exploration, I hope you can do it well." Learn something from Your Excellency."

Sunan also clasped his fists and said, "My navy's strength is at sea, and this time I will be operating on land, so naturally the two opinions should be the most important."

Seeing Sunan being so meek, Chu Dayun's originally stern face softened, and he clasped his fists towards Sunan and smiled.

The Young Army was expanded from the original Shenji Battalion, and it was the first all-firearms battalion in Ming Dynasty.After being transformed into a young army, it became the Taisun's pro-army, quite like the number one in the world.

They are still not convinced by Habayashi Wei, thinking that they are the spear of the grandson, and Habayashi Wei can only guard the house and guard the gate, and is only the shield of His Highness.

As for the First Fleet, although His Highness's pro-army is also, one is the army and the other is the navy, so there is no comparison.

But he was dissatisfied with the navy in his heart, and he was still thinking about how to steal the limelight from the navy.

Now there is one more Zhang Wu, which can be regarded as a buffer for the young army and the navy, and Sunan's gentle personality also made Chu Dayun feel that this person is not difficult to deal with, so his complexion improved a lot.

Regardless of their inner thoughts, Zhang Wu said: "Although the above has made a rough distribution according to the different personnel, but now our 1000 or [-] people have to be grouped in detail, so I hope that the two of you can divide your subordinates into groups." The functions of the statistics, and then report up, we carry out detailed grouping. "

Sunan understood Zhang Wu's words and nodded.But Chu Dayun asked with some confusion: "What is a function?"

Zhang Wu paused and said, "It's the role of each person... For example, the scouts of the young army, the sky observers, the navigators of the navy, doctors, cooks and other personnel with different roles."

Chu Dayun understood, and said: "My young army has 600 people, [-] musketeers, [-] sword and shield players, and [-] carts. Among them, there are ten scouts. Everyone can go to the battle to kill the enemy, and the rear to transport food. But there are no other specialties..."

Sunan went on to say: "Our navy has two hundred musketeers and four hundred sword and shield hands. Among them are three doctors who are proficient in sky observation, four surveyors and one geological surveyer."

Every ship in the navy needs at least one person who can observe the sky and use a sextant, so Sunan brought four people, which did not surprise Zhang Wu.

He said: "I brought three people, everyone can observe the sky, locate, survey and map, and we will re-allocate the personnel in a while, now, let's organize these people first."

This time, we explored the eastern part of Nanzhou, with Brisbane as the center, heading south, west, and north. The straight-line distance of each exploration team was [-] miles, and the time was half a month.

This is roughly a semicircle. According to the angle of the semicircle, there are a total of fifteen exploration teams in the 180 degrees. Each exploration team is responsible for the range search within an angle of about twelve degrees.

And each exploration team has 1000 or [-] people, no matter what situation they encounter, they can easily handle it.

But it is impossible for these 1000 or [-] people to gather together, otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the task within half a month.

Because they not only have to walk once, but also have to make detailed statistics on the topography, mineral resources, and the gathering of natives in the places they pass.

So their 1000 or [-] people were divided into the front army, left army, right army, middle battalion, and rear army.

Except for the middle camp, each department has 200 people, the middle camp has about 350 people, and another 50 people are responsible for the liaison between the various departments.

As for the personnel who are proficient in astronomical observation and map surveying, except for the rear army, each department is assigned one or two.

It was already noon when they finished grouping.

At this time, the inner eunuch sent glazed beads, fabrics, combs, and other small things to each phalanx, and each phalanx received a large cart.

These are for the convenience of trading when they meet the natives.

Then there is the distribution of military rations, dry rations, meat and vegetables, and cauldrons. This time, it will take half a month to go out, and each phalanx must prepare sufficient logistics materials.

Of course, it is also inseparable from the firework bombs and smoke bombs used for communication. In case of emergency, they can communicate with each other and rescue.

At noon, thousands of cauldrons along the river bank made hot meals.

Just after everyone distributed the meals, Zhu Zhanji appeared, and his appearance greatly boosted everyone's morale.

Afterwards, the 8000 people set off arrogantly and in accordance with the designated scope of exploration.

Sunan and his team explored the range between 36 degrees and 48 degrees from north to west. This distribution is that they took Zhang Wu's light.

As Zhu Zhanji's cousin, Zhang Wu will of course receive preferential treatment in some actions. This is not an unspoken rule, but a kind of favor.

And within this range, there is the Yaleman copper mine known to Zhu Zhanji in later generations.

At this time, they didn't know this at all, but because they were assigned this direction, they complained endlessly.

Brisbane is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. The highest mountain is this one in the northwest.

And after passing this mountain range, there is the largest dragon-like reservoir and two rivers here.

Although their large troops can bypass the mountain, surveyors do not have this blessing, because they have to record the movement of the mountain in detail.

Although the mountain is not big, the journey is difficult for them.

It took them three days to cross the mountain, and at this time, the large detour troops had already built a simple wooden bridge over the river.

Their luck was not good, they didn't meet a single tribe, and through the communication between the scouts and other phalanxes, at least three teams had already discovered the natives.

The natives here are not violent, one of them avoids them far away, and the other two have made initial contact with the exploration team.

Being able to establish a relationship with the local natives, according to the release of the mission, the expedition team has made great achievements.

But the most enviable thing is the two teams exploring south. They found a gold mine not far from the base as soon as they set off.

Although the size of the gold mine cannot be determined now, the credit for discovering the gold mine is invaluable.

But at this time, Sunan and the others encountered a second river. The width of this river reached 30 meters. It was impossible to build a bridge on the river. They could only quickly cut down trees and make wooden rafts to cross the river.
