Chapter 291 Arriving in Australia
"It is my honor to have General Chen's help."
"I am willing to go through fire and water and even die!" Chen Qianzhi patted his chest and promised.
"Very good, then I am relieved. General Chen, follow me and I will take you to meet the others."
After Ning Quan finished speaking, he took Chen Qingzhi out to meet Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao.
After meeting, the three of them exchanged greetings and quickly became familiar with each other.
Ning Quan returned to his room after asking Zhang Fei and the other two to take Chen Qianzhi to familiarize himself with the situation.
At this time, Li Wanyue and Sikong Ruo also finished bathing, looking at the two beauties' graceful and exquisite figures.
Ning Quan couldn't help swallowing.
Li Wanyue and Sikong Ruo blushed at the same time when they saw this.
.........
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Ning Quan came to the bridge.
The ship was very fast and reached the waters near Manila in one night.
This is also the reason why Ning Quan only traveled to America on large ships, because of their fast speed.
If other ships were brought along, the speed would be at least three times slower.
The waters near Manila are a major transportation route with many ships traveling on the sea. The huge size of the ships makes the crews of passing ships dumbfounded.
"Where did this giant ship come from? It's so majestic! It's even bigger than our Malacca port."
"My God, I've never seen a ship as big as this."
"I think it's a Daqian ship, seeing the Daqian flag flying on it."
"No, this is the huge ship of the Ninth Prince of Daqian. I have seen it before in Danshui Port. It is the Ninth Prince's ship."
"What? It's the Ninth Prince's ship, no wonder..."
.........
Many crew members were talking and speculating about the origin of the giant ship.
Ning Quan also saw the crew members pointing and talking in the distance, but he didn't care.
Nowadays, the big ship is no longer a secret. Many people already know about it. There is no need to hide it, and it is impossible to hide it unless the big ship never goes out to sea.
"Your Highness, staying in the cabin for a long time will affect the soldiers' morale and health. I suggest sending them to the deck in batches to get some fresh air."
Zhang Liao, who was standing next to Ning Quan, bowed to Ning Quan and reminded him.
"Well, that makes sense. I'll do as you say."
"Pass the order down, arrange for the crew members to come up for some fresh air in batches, and the same goes for the craftsmen."
"As for those Japanese women, we also need to let them exercise properly. We can arrange it once every five days."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhang Liao nodded and stepped back to carry out the order.
Ning Quan took Wanyue to the stern of the boat to go fishing.
There are no entertainment activities on the boat, so I might as well go fishing. Otherwise, what are I doing on the boat for a whole month?
After a while, the crew brought over a few fishing rods.
The three of them started fishing.
"Husband, is America fun? Is it as big as you said, several times bigger than Daqian?" Li Wanyue asked.
"Of course, America is much bigger than Daqian. You'll know when the time comes."
"As for fun, the scenery is definitely nice, but it's very dangerous." Ning Quan said with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of danger. I have my husband to protect me. Besides, I know martial arts, and my sister knows martial arts too. We can protect ourselves."
Li Wanyue said with a smile, not worried at all.
Of course Li Wanyue didn't have to worry. She had taken the marrow cleansing pill and her skills were no less than Zhang Fei's.
It’s just that Sikong Ruo is a little bit inferior, his martial arts skills are only equivalent to the fourth rank.
"Oh, right, I have another marrow cleansing pill here. Ruo'er, here it is. Take it."
Ning Quan suddenly remembered that he still had a marrow cleansing pill.
"Husband, what is the marrow cleansing pill and what is it used for?" Sikong Ruo asked in surprise.
"Haha, you'll know once you take it. Eat it quickly."
Ning Quan said, and then handed Sikong Ruo a brocade box.
"Oh~"
Sikong Ruo nodded and opened the brocade box. A purple-red pill lay quietly inside.
"Gulu~"
After Sikong Ruo swallowed it, he immediately felt warm inside, like soaking in a hot spring.
After a moment, a tremendous amount of heat spread throughout his body, Sikong Ruo's skin became more delicate, and his muscles and bones were strengthened.
Not long after, Sikong Ruo's martial arts broke through and quickly reached the ninth level.
"Husband, I have actually been promoted to the ninth rank."
"What kind of elixir is this? It's so magical?" Sikong Ruo asked in surprise.
"The Marrow Cleansing Pill can help warriors increase their training efficiency, cleanse their essence and marrow, and be reborn." Ning Quan explained.
"Wow, that's amazing."
"Thank you, husband."
Sikong Ruo said happily.
"Silly girl, why are you being so polite to me? Go fishing quickly. We will grill fish tonight." Ning Quan said lovingly.
"Uh-huh!"
Sikong Ruo nodded obediently.
........
A few days later, the ship arrived in the northern waters of Australia.
The settlement established by Liu Rengui was in the Augusta region of southern Australia, less than a day's sail away.
The reason for choosing the Augusta area is that there are vast lakes and fertile land there.
Moreover, there is a natural harbor outside Augusta, which is suitable for port construction.
This location was also carefully selected by Ning Quan.
As for the cities of Sydney, Canberra and other future generations, Ning Quan didn't even consider them, because these cities did not exist in this era and were still barren lands.
In short, as long as things develop slowly in the future, the whole of Australia will eventually belong to Ningquan.
The next morning, Ning Quan arrived at Augusta Harbor.
From afar, a large settlement appeared in front of Ning Quan.
The settlement was built along the coast and was surrounded by high stone walls and towers, indicating that it was a military fortress.
Outside the city you can see vast tracts of farmland, orchards and pastures.
There is also a dock where fishing boats and cargo ships are docked, and crew members are moving cargo.
Seeing this, Ning Quan nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Liu Rengui did a good job.
Soon after the large ship entered the harbor, two small warships came towards it.
Standing on the bow of the boat was Liu Rengui.
Liu Rengui was of course aware of Ning Quan's arrival, and in order to facilitate communication, Ning Quan also equipped him with a walkie-talkie.
And because of the distance problem, Ning Quan also specially set up a transit station in Manila and arranged for more than a dozen soldiers to be stationed there to relay messages.
So early this morning, Liu Rengui brought his men to the dock to wait for Ning Quan.
Soon, Liu Rengui boarded the ship.
"I will see you at last, Your Highness."
Liu Rengui saluted with his fists clasped.
"No need to be so polite, just get up." Ning Quan said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Liu Rengui stood up straight and stood respectfully aside.
"Your settlement is nice and well built." Ning Quan exclaimed.
"Hehe, Your Highness, you are too kind. The settlement is still small at the moment, and we need to work harder." Liu Rengui said modestly.
"Well, don't be anxious, take your time."
