The night of the Fengqiu military exercise became extremely lively, most of the new recruits in this military exercise were newly recruited, and they were all conscripts from peasant families, so naturally they had never seen such a huge banquet.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the huge school yard, countless cauldrons and bonfires were set up, on which were either fat roast sheep or fragrant braised pork, veterans lined up with new recruits into their seats, and the whole barracks was crowded but not riotous.

That's the benefit of being systematically trained.

Zhao Zhen was very happy at this time, seeing that tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals were all warriors under his command, what could be more proud than this?

What's more, these elite soldiers and strong generals have all been trained by their own methods, from kicking to standing in line, from training military subjects to participating in military exercises, Zhao Zhen almost watched these recruits grow into soldiers.

The only thing they lacked was the battlefield experience that those veterans had, and without the experience of blood and fire, these recruits were not really warriors.

But Zhao Zhen is not worried, there are not many places where they can fight, the Japanese country, the Philippines, and Malacca are the best battlefields, and fighting with the local fierce natives can hone their battlefield fighting skills to the greatest extent.

The Great Song Dynasty had to take the Strait of Malacca, which was an important supply depot and gateway to Arabia and Europe, and maritime trade was the main export channel of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen valued the huge profits brought by the sea more than anyone else.

The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty continued to communicate with the Great Song Dynasty and the Abbasid Dynasty, and the profits obtained were amazing, and they were also the basis for the Great Song Dynasty to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

Maritime trade not only brought huge wealth to the Great Song Dynasty, but also promoted the rapid development of shipbuilding technology, and now the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty are almost the most advanced ships in the world, if you add the artillery of the Ordnance Division, Zhao Zhen believes that the Great Song Dynasty will become the sun never sets.

Having an invincible armada and galloping above the sea of stars is Zhao Zhen's own dream.

Zhao Zhen wanted to build a well-equipped and well-trained navy to gain more land and wealth for the Great Song Dynasty, and the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, which were located in the South China Sea of the Great Song Dynasty, would also become the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

Colonize? No, you don't!

As long as the army helps the Han people to gain a firm foothold in the local area, they will survive tenaciously with the financial support of the imperial court and run these lands into the same places as the Great Song Dynasty, and then the South China Sea countries will become the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty.

The most terrifying thing about the Han people is the assimilation of other famous peoples, and in this respect it has an amazing ability.

The increase in grain production, the development of medical and health care, and the progress of culture and education have made the population of the Great Song Dynasty show explosive growth, and it is about to touch the population ceiling hidden in this era.

The increase in population increased the burden of land in the Great Song Dynasty, and although the development of industry could increase wealth, the amount of food still depended on the crops and land of this era, so Zhao Zhen had to send the bravest warriors to form a fleet to the Bering Strait, and through there to the American continent.

Only Zhao Zhen knew that the isolated world of the American continent had high-yield grains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, peppers, tomatoes, onions, etc., all of which were delicious and easy to feed.

Spices are also a specialty there, nutmeg, cumin, etc., the price of these spices is equal to gold, of course, there is a lot of real gold, the Maya have a legendary golden city......

This is an excellent era for Zhao Zhen, no one knows how many treasures are hidden in this magical land of America, and the warriors secretly sent by Zhao Zhen are the greatest explorers of this era.

Their main task is to find high-yielding crops.

Zhao Zhen summoned Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu in the Privy Council after the banquet: "The land of the South China Sea is the main way for my Great Song Dynasty to enter and exit the sea, I will give you 50,000 elite soldiers, go to sea at the beginning of next month, be sure to take these places, and then there will be my Great Song Dynasty people to cross far, and someone will give you the sea chart, remember to take important places!" ”

Although Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu didn't understand, they still received orders, and for them, the emperor's orders were above all else.

The ministers of the two provinces also came in a hurry, the matter of immigration should be planned in advance, and the mobilization work is not easy, the Han people pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to their roots, who wants to die on overseas land?

This requires the efforts of the imperial court, and the civil officials have an innate advantage in this regard, and they are even better suited than the army to persuade the common people to emigrate.

The Great Song Dynasty was densely populated, and as urbanization progressed, more and more people felt the pressure, and more and more people could not live in the city, and they were the best source of immigration.

With the development of Lingnan, the south is no longer a place surrounded by miasma for the Han people, but a land of fish and rice.

Many families moved to Lingnan, a land of exile, to earn a living, and the development of Lingnan gradually reached its limit, so all that remained was to emigrate overseas.

Of course, Zhao Zhen will not massacre and colonize the natives of the South China Sea countries, the Great Song Dynasty is a tolerant country, once the local armed forces are taken and the king is abolished, these countries will be incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty and become the state capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and there will naturally be officials and troops with the state capital.

There is nothing wrong with the local aborigines naturally becoming the people of the Great Song Dynasty, enjoying the same treatment as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and becoming part of the Chinese nation, after all, these lands also need people to cultivate, and it is obviously impossible to rely solely on the people of the Great Song Dynasty immigrants.

How rich and powerful the Great Song is, I believe these natives know, merchants will come and go, officials will be the same, in the long run, the speed of assimilation is amazing, not to mention that after intermarriage, the original natives will be fewer and smaller until they disappear.

The resistance will become smaller and smaller, and as the Han Chinese will increase and assimilate, it will not be long before these lands will become permanent and indivisible territories of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Central Plains Dynasty is a multi-ethnic Han dynasty, he has unlimited inclusiveness, no religious conflicts, and there is not too much racial discrimination, as long as Zhao Zhen can do some traction appropriately, the so-called Diyi discrimination will become very weak, after all, the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty are accustomed to the outer saint and the inner king.

The ministers of the two provinces did not understand Zhao Zhen's move to emigrate, and in their opinion, even if they took the South China Sea countries, there was no need to emigrate, Xia Zhu's opinion was very simple, support the puppet regime and let it pay tribute again and again, and respect the Great Song Dynasty as the country of ancestors......

Zhao Zhen didn't think about it, so he decided on his proposal: "Do you ministers remember the Dingyan Army back then?" And now it's there? What I want is complete control, control like my Great Song Prefecture Mansion! Recruiting troops from the local area, collecting commercial and agricultural taxes, establishing schools and education, and recruiting talents, only in this way can the land conquered by our Great Song Dynasty be completely controlled, and immigration is the best way and the only means to achieve this goal. ”

Everyone was completely stunned by Zhao Zhen's momentum, they didn't expect that the official family had such a big plan, not only to defeat them, but also to turn these lands into the state capital of the Great Song Dynasty, what is the difference between this and the previous Southern Annihilation of Dali?!
