"That's right! That's Australia, this is a unique animal there." Zou Yu said with certainty before he could ask.

"Kangaroo! The name given by His Majesty is really appropriate. This kind of animal has a pocket on its abdomen." Laiqian nodded and replied.

"Be careful of the Duke of Yue!" He pulled Feng Ang close to the cage.

"This thing bites people?" Feng Ang asked with a raised brow.

The kangaroo has a small head, so Feng Ang asked this, because generally wild beasts attacking humans have big mouths and fangs.

"How to say it! It doesn't bite people, but it wants to hit people." Lai Chiu explained with a wry smile, and then worried that Feng Ang would not believe it, and added: "Push and kick!"

"What? punching and kicking?" Feng Ang asked in disbelief.

"Just punching and kicking, and the strength is quite good."

"Yes, it is said that this guy likes to kick people. When fighting each other, he also punches and kicks like a human." Zou Yu said with a smile.

"It's really interesting." Since Zou Yu said this, Feng Ang certainly believed it, and couldn't help but look at the kangaroo in the cage again curiously.

"If it's empty, let them perform for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You are in Australia, but have you found it?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, because there were only one thousand soldiers in the exploration team at that time, I was worried about an accident, so I didn't run too far, but there were dense water and grass and many wild animals." Lai Chi replied.

"Be careful, there is nothing wrong with it. Although you haven't seen it, there should be some Tu people. It is an island that is not smaller than the Central Plains. The wild animals on it can be said to be killed endlessly, but it is a bit far away from the Tang Dynasty. It is not yet developed at the moment." Zou Yu nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I think you can build a port first, occupy a corner, and then explore slowly. After you have a clear exploration, it will be at least a few years later. It will be appropriate to immigrate and develop it at that time." Song Zhengben suggested.

“This is a polite statement!

Issue the order! Add Lailai Zhengming to be the chief commander of Australia, establish Laijia port, mobilize 10,000 people from the First Navy Army, and be fully responsible for Australian exploration! Exploration of the Nanyang Islands is handed over to Zhang Gongjin, the governor of the Second Navy Army," Zou Yu nodded, pondered a little, and then ordered.

"I obey the order!" Lai Chuan responded with a firm fist.

The Navy currently has four armies. The First Army is mainly responsible for the exploration of the South China Ocean. They have the most warships. The Second Army is mainly responsible for blocking the Japanese islands and also shouldering exploration tasks. The Third Army's responsibilities are mainly transportation, escort, the entire Nanyang, Liaodong Peninsula, and the commuting and transportation are basically their business. The Fourth Army's responsibilities are mainly training, recruiting, and training qualified sailors and naval soldiers. The training bases are mainly in the Nanyang Islands and Dengzhou.

If you want to become a navy soldier, you must first be able to swim and then adapt to sea life. As for combat effectiveness, you are ranked last. After all, the first two limits many people. This is also the reason why the navy generally has low combat effectiveness when it comes ashore.

When training a navy, the first step is to get on the boat to fish. After adapting to sea life, it is to practice boat control. Everyone is versatile and can adapt to most positions. Finally, it is to fight at sea and adapt to shooting arrows on bumpy warships.

Compared with land combat, it is obviously more complicated at sea, which is why there are not many naval commanders and cannot expand at once.

The exploration in Southeast Asia is always full of surprises. In addition to a large amount of sago, fruit, bananas, wood and various gems. The most common are various minerals, especially gold mines. A large amount of gold was seized from the Tu people, and naturally a large amount of gold mines, such as open-pit ones were discovered.

There was no large amount of mining. After discovering these minerals, the island was immediately blocked. Only hundreds of people were arranged to take one or two thousand Tu people to slowly mine, so that too much gold and silver could rush into the market all at once, which might have an adverse impact on the currency. Zou Yu still understood this.

According to the chart we explored, the distance from Australia to Lingnan is not far, crossing the Nanyang Islands, sailing with full load, and arrives in one month. When you find the best route in the future, this process should be shortened to within twenty days.

The search for news about Australia made Zou Yu very happy. This was not only because of the Tang Dynasty, but also because of the rich resources of Australia. Especially in the wild animals, there is probably no place to compare except the African prairie.

Using bows and arrows to hunt, it is estimated that even hundreds of thousands of troops would not be able to cause extinction damage to these species without arranging hundreds of thousands of troops. After exploration, a reasonable plan can be formulated to hunt and capture in large quantities. Not only can you obtain a large amount of meat, but you can also keep it in captivity.

"Kangaroo, don't know how it tastes?" Zou Yu glanced at the cage quietly, and let the kangaroo inside calm down suddenly.

"As long as it is meat, it should be good, but since you have the word "rat", it's better to sell it to others." When I heard that there were a lot of things, Zou Yu was thinking about this issue.

Thinking about seeing countless groups of wild beasts in film and television, Zou Yu never thought of letting them go. After all, he does not have the kind of compassion that does not kill. At most, control it and don’t kill exterminately. Just let the young be spared.

Although it is impossible to transport meat to the Tang Dynasty by freezing, there is no problem with canning meat and canned food. I believe that in a few years, the people of the Tang Dynasty will not be reluctant to eat their own breeding poultry like they are now.

Lingnan has been well developed. At least there is no good way to carry out in-depth development at present. After all, the biggest constraint is the population. Such a huge place has only two million people, and there are hundreds of thousands of them, which belong to children born in recent years. Think about how to develop more places.

There are dense mountains and forests in the distance, and humans only occupy the plains. Fortunately, due to the concentration of the population, the residential areas are not as overgrown as before, and at the same time, they reduce mosquitoes and rat damage.

Especially for the most annoying mosquitoes and mice! The Tang Dynasty made great efforts, especially because of the increase in grain production, and the people also paid attention to rat damage. Every household raised cats and dogs, which became the standard for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

During the harvest season, dogs can also help you see the ground and drive away wild animals. It was unavoidable in the past and was also the most common wild boars and weasels. Now it is no longer visible near the village.
