Shao Shude reported to the court for Guan Kairun's conquest of Africa.

He still adhered to his usual low-key style, and what he wrote was not conquering Africa except North Africa. Instead, he reported truthfully, conquered dozens of tribes and built more than a dozen strongholds along the coast of Africa.

But Li Zhi knew how to do it. First of all, he could run so far. The distance between Dingyuan Hou is far greater than that of Dingyuan Hou Banchao.

He destroyed dozens of countries, which was almost the same as Ban Chao. However, Ban Chao only had thirty-six people, and he brought more than 10,000 people there, which was a bit worse in his ability.

But the places where Ban Chao conquered were supported by the great man's reputation. How many African natives knew about the Tang Dynasty, but they couldn't handle it even if they didn't have many people.

The area of ​​Africa is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. As for the weak control, in fact, the control of a bunch of governors' offices in the north of the Tang Dynasty is even weaker. To achieve this level, Guan Kai Run has already made great contributions to expanding territory.

Of course, there was no challenging battle, and the credit was reduced. The title of leap was still promoted to two levels in a row, surpassing the county duke and directly being promoted to Dingyuan County duke.

The county duke is the founding duke. Africa is definitely a new territory, and the credit of the leap is worthy of the word "founding".

According to Shao Shude's memorial, Guan Kai Runyi Zhenlujiao and was granted the title of West Africa Jiedu. Tian Xing, who had been acting for one and a half years, was officially granted the title of Egypt Jiedu.

Shao Shude recommended his subordinate Mo Ming to serve as the governor of South Africa and build Cape Town Port. Qiang Quansheng served as the governor of East Africa and build Sofara Port. Ma Wanpeng served as the governor of the New China Governor's Office and develop Madagascar.

Li Zhidu followed the capital one by one. Shao Shude's territory expanded greatly and was granted the title of General of the Cavalry, and was granted the title of the Third Division of the Kaifu Yitong, the commander of the Qidaodu, and Prince Lingwu of Jin.

General Huo Qubing's position was Huo Qubing. He was above the Three Dukes, and he was even older than Xiaoshuai's school inspector Taifu.

Although Shao Shude's seven paths were more than Xiaoshuai's, his territory was even larger than Xiaoshuai's, and his population was probably similar. It is not an exaggeration to directly win a continent and be named General of the Cavalry.

But Xiaoshuai's people are much higher in quality, and the economy and military strength of the Dayuezhi are not comparable to that of Shao Shude. If Africa is truly developed, there will be a big gap.

The reason why Li Zhi deliberately raised Shao Shude was because Shao Shude himself did not establish a country and became king, and he always appeared as a minister of the Tang Dynasty. Although he was a warlord in reality, he was a little short of this.

Shao Shude emerged as a new force. If he could have some restrictions on Xiaoshuai, the Tang Dynasty would be more at ease.

The remaining seven thousand soldiers and horses of Guankairen received generous rewards and were allowed to return to Egypt, the Sultanate of the Great Food, and the Gulf Road.

Shao Shude sent another 5,000 subordinates to his sixth brother, plus the eight thousand black and eight banners, and took the return Indian Ocean fleet to Green Corner to take office.

The Indian Ocean fleet expanded temporarily.

After one and a half years of construction, Chen Youcai's main target in Sevastopol, the pure steam-powered ironclad ship was not successfully built, but he had built four steam-iron sailboats and twelve three-masted large sailboats.

As soon as the Indian Ocean Fleet stopped at Alexandria, the Black Sea Fleet's support arrived. With radio contact, Wu Ziyi was in charge of Kangju and could dispatch naval forces on the global oceans to support each other.

The Black Sea Fleet brought a large amount of thermal coal to the Indian Ocean Fleet as a supply, and the Donets coal field in Khasadao has been put into production and operation normally.

At the same time, two steam sailboats and four three-masted sailboats joined the Indian Ocean Fleet. This was not for Yarslan, but for the Daxia army, as a ship that opened the leap.

Shao Shude, the leader of the Great Xia army, was cautious and steady in his work. The second-ranked figure under him was ambitious, which just made up for Shao Shude's weaknesses. Guan Kairun's next navigation plan was to conquer South America.

The Atlantic Ocean is windy and storm, and small boats are very dangerous to cross the ocean. Guan Kairun's 13,000 soldiers, including the 5,000 Great Xia Army and the 8,000 Black Eight Banners, had to train at Green Corner for a period of time, and also waited for the Daxia Army's own three-masted sailboat to be built.

It is necessary to gather twenty warships to carry out such trans-ocean conquest. Guan Kaizeng has to rule in Green Corner for a period of time and operate the territory of Western Africa at the same time. It is impossible to have no ships.

Xiaoshuai has a boat in his hand and can't use it for the time being, so he directly supports the fourth brother. Of course, money is required, but this kind of strategic weapon is not very strong, and it is impossible to buy it if you have money.

The coal used for steam sailing ships that temporarily turned on the leap must be supported by the Black Sea Fleet. However, Xiaoshuai pointed his fingers around and directly drew a map of the detailed locations of the four large coal fields in the Nanlaiwangt Basin in Egypt and sent them to Tian Xing.

Not only that, the Karu Basin in South Africa, the three basins in Mozambique, and the Sakai Coalfield in Madagascar are all free gifts.

Coal fields in other places are still early to be mined, but Egypt's coal fields can be mined immediately. It is very recent that the Daxia army uses self-produced thermal coal.

This act of directly sending the fourth brother to gather treasure pot shows that Li Zhi's little move to provoke Shao Shude and Xiaoshuai's relationship has no effect at all. What kind of official position is just a icing on the cake for independent forces like Xiaoshuai and Shao Shude.

In fact, Li Zhi's small moves were just a habit as a politician, and most of them were for the ministers to see, and he had other ideas.

It is logical that Xiaoshuai was the king outside the territory, and as a close relative, Su Dingfang should avoid suspicion and not use it more. Su Dingfang himself also submitted his resignation for this reason.

However, Li Zhi rejected the request of Senior General Su to retire on the grounds that India was not yet completely safe and needed the veteran general to take charge. Only he himself knew what he thought.

Mo Ming, Qiang Quansheng, and Ma Wanpeng brought 5,000 troops to Basra, and prepared to take a boat to his territory to take office. There he received the African plantation seeds sent by Xiaoshuai. For this matter, Xiaoshuai specially traveled to Africa in the modern world.

Where did this ship come from? When Guankai Runhong Sea Battle captured Aksum on the southern coast of the Red Sea, a large number of armed merchant ships were captured. Shao Shude mobilized fifty armed merchant ships to Basra for his advice.

The East African coast is closely connected to the Red Sea, and these armed merchant ships are available. However, Xiaoshuai still supported two steam sailing ships of the Second Indian Ocean Fleet under construction, and six three-masted sailing ships for Brother Yi, as the flagship and main battleship.

The South African fleet and East African fleet of the Daxia Army, each fleet, one steamship, three three-masted sailboats, and twenty-five armed sailboats, is basically enough.

Ma Wanpeng’s new China Madagascar island is very close to Sofara, and it is enough to share an East African fleet between the two sides.
