While Lu Wang was hunting on the continent thousands of miles away, another group of immigrants were preparing to set off at Nanjing Wharf. The number of immigrants was much smaller, only a scale of more than 5,000, and one thousand were captured by the Eight Banners of Manchuria, five hundred Koreans and one thousand Annans, and the remaining three thousand were Han people.

"You are going to the continent across the ocean. It is a rich piece of land full of gold and silver. Most of our Ming Dynasty's silver comes from there. After you arrive in Japan, someone will provide you with supplies, and a group of people will board the ship. About a thousand Japanese people will join your team." Li Guodong spoke to the immigrants who are about to set out.

However, Duoduo was not in this immigration team. He had been sent to Southeast Asia a year ago, and there were more than 200 most elite white-armored soldiers. Then Li Guodong helped Duoduo recruit more than 1,000 Japanese, 500 Koreans, 1,000 Annans, and 3,000 Hans to form a mixed expedition team.

At this time, this expedition team with hands covered with blood from the people of Southeast Asia was active between the two islands, Borneo and Jinzhou, massacring local people and harming local people.

Duoduo did such a thing, which was relaxed and pleasant. The only thing that was dissatisfied with was that the indigenous women here were so ugly that they were not interested at all. Those barbaric savages had no use except to kill or capture them as slaves. Fortunately, Li Guodong bought a lot of women from Annan and Siam, which were specially provided for the expedition team. In addition, in some port towns controlled by the Thais in Nanyang, there were also many bars, taverns, etc. In those places, there were women of all kinds of skin, including white women in Taisie, Korean, Japanese, Indian women, and even some heavy-tasting guys who liked the dark-skinned women from Kunlun Island.

In short, Duoduo's life on the Nanyang Islands was still very free and easy. When Dorgon died in the future, Li Guodong would be kind enough to ask him to go back and see his brother.

At Shanghai Port, Sikteng took a group of soldiers on a large ship. He arrived here in the morning, but did not spend the night here, just had lunch, and at noon he boarded the large ship to the other side of the ocean.

Xiketeng just wanted to go to the other side as soon as possible. He had no more nostalgia for this place. His wife Wu Naji also came because Wu Naji heard that her husband disappeared in the Battle of Yangzhou, so she went to the capital to ask the court for pensions, but she did not get the pensions and was almost bombarded out of the capital. Later, she heard that her husband was still alive, in the Ming Dynasty, so she dressed up as a Han woman and went south to the Ming Dynasty.

Now Wu Naji also boarded the ship and went to the distant opposite shore with her husband to prepare to colonize overseas.

In Li Guodong's mind, whether it is Manchu, Korean, Japanese, Annan or Siamese, as long as the yellow people who agree with the Han culture and immigrate overseas, they all belong to the Chinese. Everyone has the same skin color, the same language, and the same culture. After going outside, they should be united.

The fleet was not very large, with only eight ships. However, the total number of artillery reached as many as 360. Ordinary pirates did not dare to provoke them, and even the Western merchant fleet did not dare to touch this fleet.

The fleet left the Yangtze River estuary, turned northeast, and then entered the Ryukyu Islands, sailing north along the archipelago. Although there were no typhoons in winter, the winds and waves were high and the waves were rapid, and the ships of nearly 1,000 tons were shaking very violently.

The first stop of this colonial fleet was Japan, and the fleet entered Nagasaki Port under the control of the Satsuma clan and the Zheng family. Although the Edo Tokugawa shogunate implemented a policy of closing the country, the Tokugawa family could not stop the Ming Dynasty from communicating with the Satsuma clan. The colonial fleet stopped in Nagasaki and received a batch of supplies. At the same time, more than a thousand Japanese recruited from all over Japan boarded the ship.

These Japanese were not all from Kyushu Island under the jurisdiction of the Satsuma clan. Many of them came from all over Japan, most of whom were poor people who could not get out of their way. I heard that going out to sea could make a lot of money and dig up the mountains of gold and silver at will. These people were taken to Nagasaki Port by the Zheng Group and boarded the Ming Dynasty transport ship.

The fleet unloaded the load of goods, and the vacant space was just for the Japanese who were preparing to go to the other side of the ocean to take a ride. The goods transported to Japan were mainly raw silk and cotton, as well as a small amount of ceramics and tea.

Japan also produces ceramics and tea, but the quality of their ceramics and tea is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Japan's generals and wealthy warriors both like the Ming Dynasty's ceramics and tea. These goods were unloaded from the ship, exchanged for silver, and handed them back to Shanghai to a clutch.

In fact, there are still some cargoes on the ship, mainly food, ammunition and medicine, as well as tents, etc. These cargoes are the living needs of the first batch of immigrants who crossed the ocean.

Zhao Juguang said to Sikten: "This is our first supply station; the next stop is to Sakhalin Island. You Jurchens are also active there, but we built our supply base and castle on the island."

At this time, Sakhalin Island was nominally controlled by the Qing Dynasty. In fact, the Qing Dynasty ignored the island at all. A group of Jurchens lived on the island. Because the Qing Dynasty's actual control could not reach Sakhalin Island at all, and even could not reach the area east of the outer Xing'an Mountains and the Ussuri River, it gradually became the actual control area of ​​the Rakshasa people. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was directly cut to the Tsarist Russian Empire. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it was sparsely populated outside the pass, and the Qing Dynasty prohibited Han people from leaving the pass, except for those who committed crimes and were sent to Ningguta. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Guandong was opened, and a large number of Shandong people went to the northeast.

The northeast is sparsely populated, not to mention Sakhalin Island, the outer Xing'an Mountains and the areas east of the Ussuri River, there are almost no people around Shengjing.

However, Li Guodong took advantage of the opportunity that the Qing Dynasty did not reach Sakhalin Island and built a seaside castle on the island as a supply base for the fleet.

The fleet with the sun and moon flags arrived at the supply port on Sakhalin Island. A group of people dressed in Eight Banners took the cables, tied the ship to the stone pillars, brought the springboards, and put them on the ship. Then a group of people dressed in dressings transported the supply items on the ship.

"Aren't they the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty? How do you do things for us?" Sikteng felt very strange.

Zhao Juguang smiled and said, "They are soldiers of the Qing Dynasty on the surface, but in fact they are soldiers of our Ming Dynasty."

It turned out that the commander of the Qing Dynasty, who was managing the outer Xing'an Mountains and east of the Ussuri River, was Li Guodong's good brother Subude, Li Hong. Shortly after he followed the Qing army into the pass, he volunteered to propose to Dorgon that he would go to the bitter and cold land north of Heilongjiang to help the Qing Dynasty defend its territory and resist the invasion of the Rakshasa people.

At this time, the Rakshasa people had already arrived in the east. Subud led his army to repel the Rakshasa people's expedition team many times, so that the Rakshasa people could not even have time to build the castle, so they were repelled by Subud.

Of course, Subud knew about Li Guodong's construction of a castle on Sakhalin Island. He also contacted local natives to assist the Ming army in building a castle and supply port.

On the surface, Subude was a vassal official of the Qing Dynasty, but in fact it was a detailed work of the Ming Dynasty. Because he repeatedly defeated the expedition teams of the Rakshasa people and had a very good reputation among the local Jurchens, he was deeply supported by the local people. In fact, the actual control areas of those places had fallen into Subude's hands.

If one day Subude opposes the Qing Dynasty, the locals would support him without hesitation. In fact, those Jurchens did not have any sense of identity with the Qing Dynasty, and they didn't even know that there was a Qing Dynasty country in this world. When the Rakshasa people came to bully them, did the Qing Dynasty send troops and soldiers to help them? Except for Subude sending troops to help them, the Qing Dynasty never sent a single army.

In this cold place, Dorgon had no intention of managing it, and was completely controlled by Subude.
