It was not until July that Swan was finally called back by the communications soldier sent by Luo Youde. He looked a little miserable, covered in gray and his clothes were torn, but he was in good spirits. He knew to grin after seeing Hong Tao, which means he was not tired at all.

"The north is impossible to go to the north. It's all Gobi and desert. I can't see anyone after walking out for dozens of kilometers. I'm so hot during the day and freeze to death at night. There are people-killing things everywhere, and poisonous insects are everywhere, killing me more than a dozen people. Your Majesty, are you saying that I'm not at the end of the world? After that, are there really the great plains you said that you can't see at a glance?" Swan didn't even go to take a shower, so he pulled Hong Tao into the tent in the military camp, opened the map he drew himself and placed it on the table, began to complain to Hong Tao, and questioned Hong Tao's arrangements. When Hong Tao left, he told him that he had been walking north and passing through the desert was the prairie, where was the world of cavalry.

"The end of the fart, I mean to let you explore the north. You won't bend, and you'll be heading north without turning around. I don't know what's on both sides. I said, "Are you anxious when you saw me founded the country, and I'm afraid that if I'll be delayed for a long time, I won't give you land. I want to find your own place quickly and then stop working for me? I'll tell you clearly. Regardless of whether you have your own land or not, you still have to do the work you should do, including me. The construction of this place is just a base. The climate, resources, and terrain of the Sun City are not suitable for large-scale construction. Don't think that I'm taking care of myself and leaving you alone." Hong Tao figured out Swan's thoughts with his own thief and finally came to a conclusion.

"Hehe... I haven't been a king before, so I'm anxious to try what it feels like. You have been an emperor, so of course you don't need to worry. Otherwise, you can make me the king here for a few days and enjoy it." As a result, Hong Tao really got it. Swan just wanted to find his own territory, and he had to take advantage of it first. If you want to find a good place to take advantage of it.

"Looking at your promising prospects, is there any borrowing of this thing? Try to say less useless nonsense in the future. I don't care. No one else cares. Let's go and rest first. I'll take you to find it in two days. The veteran will take you to the top of the two. I'll guarantee that you can find it. If you can't find it, I'll give you this place!" Swan is really not a qualified king. He is just a soldier who fights in the army. He has a straight mind, a straight personality, and a straightforward speech.

"Ah! You go too! Why don't you draw a picture for me and I'll find it myself... You see, you are getting older and hard to walk on the road, you can't eat well or sleep well, I'm afraid of getting tired of you." When I heard that Hong Tao was going to follow him to find territory, Swanby was even more scared when he saw the desert, so he found all the reasons that he didn't want Hong Tao to go.

"If you don't want to go with me, then we will separate two ways. You go to sea by land, and then meet up at the beach I designated. Now it disappears from me immediately. I get upset when I see you and have no intention of planning the route." Even though I know Swan's personality and don't care about his nonsense, Hong Tao feels unhappy, and his eyes immediately turn into triangles again, which is a sign of going crazy.

"I understand! I understand! You must find a good place for me. If I have a daughter tomorrow, I will marry a rat as a wife and we will be in-laws." Swan also felt that it was not suitable to hate Hong Tao in person. Whether he could have a good territory depends entirely on Hong Tao's thoughts. If it is appropriate, he has to flatter him.

"Get out of here! Who is your in-laws with you? You have to call me uncle now. It's worth noting that my son married your daughter. I'll have to be a generation older. If you say one more word, the desert will belong to you!" Hong Tao really didn't want to talk to this heartless thing anymore. He grabbed the map, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it at the back of Swan's head.

"Your uncle! You dare to hide, I..." Unfortunately, Swan seemed to have eyes on his back, and he tilted his head slightly, and after passing the paper ball, he got out of the tent with his waist, without giving Hong Tao a chance to dig it out.

A week later, Swan led his army to set off again. This time he went north, but with the final destination, he no longer planned to cross the desert in the north, but went west after going down the plateau, and according to the latitude and longitude given by Hong Tao, he went straight to an estuary called the Grande River, where Hong Tao would lead a fleet to wait for him.

This is a new plan made by Hong Tao. It is too far away to explore the North American continent from land, and it is impossible to establish supply points behind it all the time, and the project volume is too large. If we change the method, Swan leads the cavalry to explore from land and follow along the seaside with his fleet, which will solve the major problem of logistics supply.

Sun City has a total of nine flying fish and three salmon. Hong Tao plans to take away more than half of them and form a maritime expedition fleet. He walks around the Gulf Coast, providing logistical support to Swan while carefully measuring the water data here, and also systematically trains and trains these Indian sailors. Although they have been working on whaling ships for several years and have the ability to sail far away, they still talk about naval warfare on paper. They have to teach them a lot of things themselves and practice them all the way.

The River Grande is the boundary between the United States and Mexico in later generations. The south bank of the river is the four states of Chihuahua, Coavella, Nova Leon and Tamaulipas in Mexico, and the north bank of the river is Texas in the United States. In the last life, Hong Tao came to this river to catch fish. The old American man Dan and his family who met at the fishing competition lived in Laredo. Unfortunately, it is definitely not as good as that city.

Texas is surrounded by prairie on the Gulf of Mexico, which is flat like Inner Mongolia in our country. Moreover, the folk customs here are similar to Inner Mongolia, simple, tough, enthusiastic, conservative, and have a strong religious flavor. Western cowboys are Texas specialties, but most of the movies are played in the era of Western development. When Hong Tao went there, he could no longer see the cowboys with two wheels hanging on his belt, but the taste was still there and very strong.

Later Texas cowboys also rode horses, but they usually switched to high-power pickup trucks and various large motorcycles when they went out, including Harley. If you drive on the Texas highway that is endless, and suddenly there are several howling motorcycles behind you. The riders on it are pale-bearded, but they are still wearing tight leather jackets decorated with metal. Don’t deliberately avoid them, and don’t look at them with the look of looking at them, otherwise the originally enthusiastic Texas uncle will instantly become a violent old cowboy, and you will have no place to cry if you smash your car.

These uncles and uncle-level riders are not motorcycle players, most of them are serious people, maybe one is a university professor or company boss. They just love this feeling of freedom and freedom, and don’t use their wear to measure a person’s good or bad. The word judging people by their appearance is especially not applicable in Texas.

Of course, there is no Texas yet. It does not belong to Mexico or the United States. Hong Tao intends to include this rich land in his kingdom, but looking at the map, it seems a bit too big, and he can't occupy all the good things himself, so he will still be divided. Who should he give it to? Swan is the most suitable. He likes horses and loves horses, and thinks he will not reject the animal husbandry industry. Give him this place, raises horses and cattle at will, and develops cavalry at will, and is just right.

The most important thing is that with Swan staying north of his kingdom, Hong Tao became much more relieved. Although this child was not nice and had a weird personality, Hong Tao thought he was one of the people who would not turn against him the most and had no ambitions. Maybe after becoming the king for a few years, he would become annoyed, let alone invading other people's land.

During long-distance travel, the sea boats were much faster than the cavalry, and the farther the journey became more and more obvious. Hong Tao walked along the way, and often divided the fleet into two groups to conduct simulated naval battles. As a result, ten days later, he arrived at the designated coordinate point, and the shore was still quiet, with neither fire nor thick smoke signals. It was obvious that Swan's cavalry was still staggering in the mountains and tropical jungles.
