Lei Xiao looked at Fu Peng's face with a blue nose and a swollen face when he was thrown, and laughed dryly, and he couldn't say anything below.

Li Fushou looked at Fu Peng and couldn't help laughing. Fu Peng fell so hard that his face began to swell.

"I said Lao Peng, aren't you practicing kung fu all over your body? Why did you fall so badly?"

"Master, you don't know..." Fu Peng touched the swollen part of his face with a little embarrassed expression, couldn't help but take a breath of air, and said, "If you practice horizontal kung fu, you can't practice your face. Now you're so ugly that you'll laugh."

Fu Peng was standing at the upper entrance of the gangway and was shot down by the waves. He fell down a few meters high and hit the steel plate on the ground. Only his strong body could be able to bear it. Others had already lie down.

"Hehe... Lao Peng, why would I laugh at you? That's not possible!" Li Fushou said insincere words and grinned happily.

Fu Peng looked at the cloth strips wrapped around the master's head and bandaged them like the Indian San selling curry powder on the Red River Valley Street. He finally couldn't help laughing happily, touching the swelling of his face, and took a breath of air conditioning from time to time, still laughing very happily.

Sometimes, the joy between men is that simple.

After a while

The violent sea storm came and went quickly, and soon the clouds stopped and the rain closed. The waves on the sea surface decreased a lot, reappearing the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and blue sky.

Five high-speed cruisers lined up in a geese-shaped queue, slashing waves on the blue sea, and changed their queues from time to time according to the flagship's flagship's flagship to practice combat capabilities to fight storms.

In the semi-open main and secondary gun positions at the head of the ship, the sailors of the gun team were all staying at their posts, mobilizing muzzles according to the commands issued by the captain, and practicing loading and simulated shooting subjects.

During drill

The gunners used simulated bullets, and their weight and appearance were exactly the same as those of the real shells, but the shell shells were filled with sand, and the gunpowder packaging was also filled with sand. There was an iron ring behind the simulated bullets, which could be hooked out with an iron hook after loading.

For every new warship

During long-distance voyages, the sailors from formation to various positions repeatedly temper their skills. The more harsh the climate, the more they have to face difficulties. This is a severe test for the officers and soldiers on the ship.

After hundreds of times of tempering, success comes from countless sweats.

After a day and night sailing

The next day, around 3:00 pm

Two hours later than the scheduled time, the patrol fleet led by the "Seagull" finally caught up with the Taishan freighter formation and quickly leaned forward.

The Taishan freighter formation consists of three freighters. In addition to the 3,000-ton fast ocean freighter, the Taishan freighter, there are two 5,000-ton ocean freighters "Wutong Mountain" and "Yimeng Mountain", all carrying a large amount of cargo and personnel, heading towards the north.

Li Fushou was wearing a clean military uniform and a German-style hat on his head. He could vaguely see the neat gauze wrapped around his head. It was obvious that he had applied medicine and re-banded it.

He led his men and others to board the Mount Tai through the gangway he had laid down, and suffered from the small space of the patrol ship. He felt personally that this was indeed not a good place. Li Fushou decisively returned to the Mount Tai wheel.

Just slow down, we won’t suffer that foreign sin.

Seeing the outdoor attendant of the luxury cabin on the top floor wearing a gorgeous light embroidered dress, and a few smart girls greeted him with tea, calligraphy, ink, and qin, Li Fushou felt a sense of happiness coming, and his nose was a little sour.

Grandma, the patrol ship is really not a place for people to stay.

"Okay, don't give me any gifts. You guys are quick and quick to boil some hot water. Master, I want to take a shower."

Li Fushou could smell a strong smell of sweat, mixed with the salt stains left by the sea water, and then fermented by the sun, feeling extremely sticky and uncomfortable.

He strode into the cabin, suddenly stopped at the door and said, "By the way, bring some buckets of hot water for Chief Fu and Chief Lei, and then make a pot of my good tea for them. These two..."

Having said this

Li Fushou smiled bitterly and shook his head, then walked straight into the cabin.

The narrow cabin of the Seagull Patrol ship cannot have bathing equipment. The officers and soldiers can only take a bath once every time they go to sea. Fortunately, the offshore patrol ships generally do not go to sea for a long time, ranging from one or two days to eight or nine days. If they endure it, they will pass.

The fresh water on the ship is all for drinking, so where is the luxury to take a bath?

As the lord and the boss of the Red River Valley, Li Fushou enjoyed first-class treatment, so he took a bucket of fresh water and scrubbed it briefly and changed into clean clothes.

Fu Peng and Lei Xiao were in trouble. Their bodies were wet with sea water and they were covered with dryness. Over the past day, their skin was covered with white salt stains, one by one.

Not to mention them, which of the officers and soldiers on the ship is not?

Even Captain Geng Baogui is the same. Unless the fresh water that is distributed every day is used to wipe the body, there is no extra fresh water available.

Every inch of land on a warship is valuable, and it is good to be able to bring one more shell, and there is no extra space left for life to enjoy.

After a moment

Li Fushou lay in the warm bathtub and couldn't help but sigh like moaning. It was such a pleasure!

Soaked in hot water, all of them showed comfort. Shishu and Shimo came in in close-fitting clothes, rolled their cuffs until their elbows, revealing half of the forearm with white tender lotus threads.

One of the two maids knead and hit the master's arms and shoulders, and then rubbed the back and scrubbed it with soap beans...

After a while

Li Fushou walked into the luxurious dormitory with a deep sleep, hugged Shikan's soft and petite body, and fell asleep on the comfortable big bed. He was really tired and sleepy, and he almost didn't close his eyes all day and night.

Four days later

At the end of the endless sea, a winding green coastline appeared, with the rolling mountains stretching to the extreme, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Papua New Guinea Peninsula.

This is a vast island that was not valued until the 21st century. It seems to be forgotten by the world, and it has never had a sense of existence in the world.

Li Fushou did not have any impression of this vast peninsula area or interest.

It was not until the 19th century that United Shipping was frequently attacked by Spanish pirates and was forced to divert its route to the north of the Philippines, so it had to pass through this peninsula covered by dense tropical pristine jungle, which attracted his attention.

Research has found that this is a very unparalleled land.

Is there any reason for nature?

Is there any law?

Haha... If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed!

Speaking of this vast island, its real name is not Papua New Guinea, it is just the name of the Eastern Peninsula.

The entire vast island area reaches 885,000 square kilometers, and there are more than 1,300 islands scattered nearby. What is this concept?

The area is equivalent to the sum of the five provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, plus Hunan, Jiangxi and Fujian, and the area is equivalent to 26 Hainan Islands, scattered like beautiful treasures on the boundless South Pacific Ocean.

The southern part of the island is a vast swamp plain area, with dense rainforest vegetation, which is a typical tropical marine climate.

The north is a low mountain and plain area, with countless beautiful coral reefs and scattered islands along the coast, and many natural harbors.

The entire island is divided into three parts;

Papua, New Guinea and West Irian.

To use a vivid metaphor, it is like a piece of sesame cake breaking in half from the middle.

The eastern peninsula is composed of Papua and New Guinea, with Papua in the south and New Guinea in the north. The combined area of ​​the two reaches 462,840 square kilometers and the coastline is 8,300 kilometers.

There are about 20,000 Melanesians here, and there are no more than 100 white colonists, from Australia, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, France and other countries. Most of them are people from various countries who have been staying here for a short time, with complex background sources.

The western peninsula is Sierian, which later belonged to an Indonesian province with a total area of ​​422,000 square kilometers, including the nearby Shizhen Islands, Yapeng Island, Weigu Island, Missour Island, etc. It is also a rare tropical rainforest area with an indigenous population of less than 6,000.

In the coastal town of Chayapura, several Dutch farmers built dozens of houses here, forming a small fishing port with a population of more than 500 people, including about 60 white Dutch people, and the others are all indigenous Melanesians. This is the largest human settlement in Sierian.

The huge island has no orderly history, no kingdom has been established, and it is still in the primitive tribal period, with no writing and history, and the indigenous people are still in the primitive lifestyle of slash-and-burn farming.

Is there no master in such a large place?

We have to talk about history here. Before the discovery of New Guinea in Portugal in 1511, the world knew almost nothing about the island of the South Pacific.

The Melanesians, widely distributed in the East Indies, were the earliest indigenous people on the island. Because the area of ​​this island is too large, the Spaniards were unable to operate this place and only used it as a trade transfer station for the ocean.

During the Great Discovery, Java, which was close to New Guinea, was favored by Westerners, and colonists from all over the world came one after another.

In the early 16th century, Portuguese merchants first landed on Java Island and discovered rich spice resources. Colonists such as the Netherlands and Britain came one after another.

The "sea coachman" Holland, who was in the limelight, established colonial rule with its strong military strength and gradually squeezed out Portugal and Britain.

New Guinea, not far away, was too vast and European colonists were unable to manage it, so they gradually abandoned it. They all rushed to Java Island to operate special resources such as spices, tin, copper, and rubber. They had already thrown New Guinea to Java.

If history has not changed

In 1884, British and German colonists landed on this vast island and took the eastern half and its affiliated islands for themselves.

After several European naval wars, the "Sea Coachman" has entered a period of recession. His national strength has declined sharply. Faced with the invasion of continental powers, the Netherlands could only wisely give up the eastern peninsula and quickly incorporate the western half into its dominance, that is, the West Irian region.

Since then, the separation of the three countries in New Guinea has officially formed.

Now, it's January 11, 1881

The Earl of Queensland from Australia led a fleet to land on Port Moresby, which is located on the Papua coast and is a transit port for ocean-going ships, which can provide abundant fresh water, coal, fruits, vegetables and meat supplies.

Port Moresby is barriered by the Irving Stanley Mountains, surrounded by water on both sides, on one side is the natural harbor Fairfax Bay, and on the other side is the sea filled with coral reefs.

The blue sea and blue sky, with mountains and water, the harbor is surrounded by the harbor, and the scenery is beautiful.

Standing on the high deck of Mount Tai, Li Fushou put his chest and belly on his hands, putting his waist on his waist, enjoying the beautiful scenery nearby, and having a great ambition to guide the country.

The waiter was wearing a milky white embroidered long skirt. The waiter behind her helped her wear a umbrella with lace edges. The waiter gently held Li Fushou's arm and asked in surprise, "Master, where is this? It's so beautiful!"

"Here, hahahaha..."

Li Fushou laughed happily and said to his secretary Wu Xuewen, who was beside him, "Xuewen, tell the fifth concubine, where is this place."

"Affect the order." Wu Xuewen bowed his head slightly and then said, "This is the master's new territory, and it will also be part of the master's territory in the future. According to the name given by the master, it is called Shangri-La, which means a place."
