Chapter 511 Unify the world
Wang Xuance followed the fleet and made two trips along the coastline, just to explore the waterway.
Dongshan Continent is a new name given to America based on the Dongshan Classic; Australia is called Nanshan Continent.
Ships did not cross the sea because there were too many uncertainties in crossing the sea. Xuance Strait and Qutu Cape, this is the name of the Bering Strait, specifically to reward Wang Xuance and Qu Tuquan for their exculpatory spirit.
Beisha, originally one of the poorest places in Liaodong, has become one of the most prosperous areas in Liaodong.
Not only is there the largest fishing ground, but there are also salt fields and shipyards. Whether it is the port or the land, there is an endless stream of vehicles and ships.
The mighty fleet took advantage of the summer monsoon to head to Dongshan Continent. Lu Mingyue led the team, bringing half of the Tang Dynasty's navy and 10,000 land troops, a total of 50,000 troops.
Although everyone in the imperial court did not understand why Tianzhu did not conquer the equally vast Nanyang, but instead went overseas. However, they were accustomed to Zou Yu's correct decision and no one raised any objections. What's more, the Tang Dynasty was now capable of exploring on both sides.
.
This expedition is mainly based on the Dongshan Continent, looking for corn, potato, and sweet potato seeds. In Zou Yu's opinion, this is the most important thing. With these seeds, even if the Tang Dynasty increases its population ten times, it will not
Need to worry about food.
By making the family fortune larger, even if future generations lose the family, they can lose more time.
After a tour in Liaodong and returning to Luoyang, Zou Yu made another very strange decision that shocked the entire court.
The two queens, plus the fourth concubine, and five concubines actually went to Nanshan Continent. This time they dispatched not many troops, only 10,000 people, but they brought with them 30,000 craftsmen from all walks of life.
Fang Xuanling and others tried to persuade them to no avail, so they had no choice but to let the Black and White sisters lead the way.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me follow you?" Zheng Liwan asked with her beautiful big eyes blinking.
"We're all gone, don't you want me to be a monk in the palace?" Zou Yu said angrily.
"Hehe!" Zheng Liwan threw herself into Zou Yu's arms with a cheerful smile. Life in the palace was very good, allowing her to still retain her innocence.
"Your Majesty, are we really going to live on overseas islands in the future?" Zheng Liwan raised her head and asked.
"Yes! Although it is an island, it is as big as the Central Plains. It will be mild and the environment will be beautiful. We can play around or go hunting if we have nothing to do." Zou Yu said dotingly, touching her head.
"I know that kangaroos with pockets and like to fight are the animals there." Zheng Liwan nodded and said, there are many kangaroos in the Chang'an Royal Zoo, and they have gone to see them in groups several times.
"Don't worry! Now we are just going for development and exploration. If we really want to move there, it will take at least ten years." Zou Yu explained.
It was arranged for the black and white sisters to lead the team because they had been too bored staying in the palace for these years, and it was very important to go see it in person and choose a place they liked. After all, Zou Yu did not want to move there in the future, and they would not be able to live well.
happy.
This is just the first batch of people. After they have had enough fun, the craftsmanship supervisor will design the palace and imperial city according to the terrain.
In the past, craftsmen also made preliminary preparations and established various workshops and kiln entrances.
The increasingly prosperous life in the Tang Dynasty made society very stable, but in the West, wars continued, or it became more chaotic.
The Turks began to expand crazily to the west. They just wanted to stay away from the Tang Dynasty, as far away as possible.
The tribes and small countries along the way were all targets of their attack. If they did not obey, they would be destroyed. The tribes that Constantine worked so hard to conquer were all conquered by the Turks, and then they continued to attack the west.
After bypassing the Caspian Sea and avoiding Constantinople, the Turks did not want to fight with the Romans, but wanted to hide behind the Romans.
The Arabs had originally surrendered to Constantine and were bent on doing business with the Tang Dynasty. The arrival of the Turks broke their peaceful life, and they had no choice but to evacuate to the Arabian Peninsula. At this time, a man, holding a Bible, began to preach.
The Persians were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and they originally wanted to cower and lick their wounds, but the Turks' western expedition showed them that they could take advantage, so they immediately sent their troops to follow the western expedition, and fought with Heraclius again.
The number of Rome's enemies increased, and its control over many areas was suddenly reduced. Small countries such as New Zealand also began to disobey orders.
No matter how chaotic it is outside, it will not affect the Tang Dynasty. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, the Tang Dynasty can develop with peace of mind.
Nowadays in the Tang Dynasty, there are not many things that Zou Yu can worry about. Touring various places every year is his most important job.
Zou Yu would take time to attend the annual opening ceremonies of Luoyang Medical College, Technical College, Datang Military Academy, and Datang University to let the students know that the emperor cared about them and valued them.
……………
In the year 886 of the Chinese calendar, which is also the year 638 AD in another time and space, the 47-year-old Emperor Zou Yu of the Tang Dynasty officially issued a decree and launched a war to unify the world.
The old commander, Li Jing, has resigned as the vice-president of the Military Academy and went to Nanyang to enjoy his retirement.
The commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition was Xu Shiji, the wise king of the thirteen kings of different surnames in the Tang Dynasty. The partial division commander was the Duke Xuance of Dongshan County. He dispatched an army of 1.5 million. This time not only the army was dispatched, but also 5 million people were relocated.
The Tang Dynasty was determined this time to conquer the entire west, relocate the people, and assimilate them.
Today, the Tang Dynasty has a population of 83 million. The younger generation has a fanatical love for Zou Yu. They respond very actively to the country's call to conquer and assimilate!
King Xin Zhang Zhongjian, who was in charge of the Pyu Kingdom, had completely eroded the Pyu Kingdom. The Pyu Kingdom and Chenla had become a third-class citizen country dependent on the Tang Dynasty.
The loyal king Su Dingfang officially began to exterminate the remaining hard-line elements in Tianzhu. This was rare for Tianzhu, which had a gentle personality and was accustomed to being submissive.
Women in Tianzhu are the most popular concubines besides Japanese slaves; and because of the large population, almost every family has one.
Survival on the Japanese islands is as difficult as ever. Their most important resource is women. Beautiful women can be exchanged for a large amount of materials from the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, they continue to have children, because as long as the number of children is enough, they do not need to work, and they can
Get enough food.
The corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes recovered from Dongshan Continent have been popularized in Datang. After careful cultivation and seed optimization by Yang You, the King of Farmers, the current yield is half that of later generations. It has become one of the main food crops of Datang.
.
Wheat from the north, rice from the south, plus corn and sweet potatoes, constituted the staple food of the Tang Dynasty. The people really had no worries about food and clothing.
As the western territories were conquered by the Tang Dynasty with artillery, the entire world, except for some Tu tribes, came under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. A group of idle Datang veterans once again took people to travel around the world.
Zou Yu, who was called the Great Emperor by the people, once again announced to the world at the age of fifty that from now on, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty would be separated from the imperial court. The royal family would become a symbol of the Tang Dynasty. Every emperor in the future could
Issue opinions to the court, but whether they are implemented will depend on the State Council.
The State Council is in charge of national government affairs, and the Prime Minister needs to hold a meeting to unify opinions before mobilizing the military.
As for the position of ***, it is elected by a vote of second-class citizens and above in the country. Each term is four years and is replaced every four years. It can only be re-elected for three terms at most. This is a permanent rule.
The whole country was shocked by this news. They never imagined that an emperor with unprecedented power and concentrated power, supported and loved by everyone, would make this decision.
After handing over power to the third emperor, Fang Xuanling, Emperor Zou Yu, along with most of the royal family, went to Nanshan Continent to live in seclusion and no longer interfere in state affairs.
Prince Zou Kaixiang manages royal affairs, and Zou Yu's other twenty-eight sons, twenty of whom are adults, are running the family business.
Nanshan Continent is a continent exclusive to the royal family and has a large number of royal properties, but other people are not prohibited from entering.
Manors were built near the royal castle. This was where the old officials of the Tang Dynasty lived. They all chose to retire in the Nanshan Continent to accompany the Great Emperor Zou Yu.
"Bang! Bang bang!" bursts of gunshots rang out. Along with a burst of happy laughter, Zou Yu, Zhang Zhongjian, the Fang brothers, Su Dingfang, Han Qianxun, Li Yuanba, Luo Shixin, Pei Yuanqing, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, and others
More than ten people, armed with thick muskets, appeared at the foot of the mountain.
The muskets were blazing and smoke was rising, and a group of wild deer running in front of them fell down at the sound.
Along with the sunset, everyone's happy laughter spread far and wide, echoing in the vast Nanshan Continent.
