After reaching an agreement with England, the expansion of Da Zhou in North America came to an end.

At this time, Zhang Lingyang didn't want to completely offend Yingli.

Since the loss of Tianzhu, North America has become the most important and largest colony of England.

If North America is lost, then Zhang Lingyang can imagine that Da Zhou and England will completely fall into a situation of endless death.

Moreover, now that his wife and children are still in the hands of others, Zhang Lingyang has to have some scruples.

After the agreement was reached, the Great Zhou and the European countries entered a rare honeymoon period of peace.

But that didn't last long.

Three years later, the Great Zhou officially took action against the Mexican colony of Francos in Central America.

On Monday, the first, second, and third fleets of the Royal Fleet were dispatched to take Hawaii Island as a springboard to attack the California Peninsula in Mexico.

Once you've established yourself on the California Peninsula, you'll head south along the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Rio Grande to attack all of Mexico.

In less than three months, Da Zhou captured all of Mexico.

After three long years of repairs, immigration, and garrisoning, the Great Zhou army continued its southward offensive into the Panamanian region.

Then the soldiers took Panama bloodlessly.

This time, the Great Zhou army in Mexico did not re-trim again, and the Great Zhou court adopted the strategy of immigration, increasing troops, and expanding at the same time, attacking Colombia, Peru, Chile and other regions in western South America along the foothills of the Cordillera Mountains.

After occupying them, the three regions were enshrined as the fiefs of their three princes, and then large-scale immigration was carried out.

This attack of the Great Zhou completely caused panic in the European countries.

There were even English parliamentarians who shouted in Parliament: "If left unchecked, the Great Zhou will take away all our colonies one by one." ”

"The relationship between the British Empire and the Great Zhou is relatively special, and the Great Zhou should not attack the colonies of the British Empire first, so it is better for us to wait and see the next reaction of the Great Zhou." If there is a main battle, there will naturally be a main peace.

However, in the end, considering the special relationship with Da Zhou, the English government did not make a response to Da Zhou.

After losing its colonies in North America, France no longer had a colony in the Americas, so they didn't care about the expansion of the Great Zhou in the Americas.

Of the remaining European countries, only Francois and the Kingdom of Spain had a real interest in South America.

But the hegemony of these two countries has long since declined, so they can only watch their colonies being swallowed by the Great Zhou one by one, and they can't do anything.

In fact, there is still a general environment for the reactions and responses of these European countries.

That is, since the resumption of normal trade relations with Da Zhou, the domestic economic growth rate of France and England, the two European hegemons, has remained above 20 percent per year.

The opportunity for great economic development that was finally obtained, Britain and France naturally would not offend Da Zhou for the sake of the interests of other countries.

As for other countries, without Britain and France taking the lead, they would not be able to become the climate, so they could only watch the national strength of the Great Zhou once again reach a new level.

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Venezuela, the Great Zhou army fought from north to south and then from south to north, and it took less than two years to occupy the entire territory of South America.

Regardless of whether it is Francois or Spain, at this time it is only a second- or third-rate country in Europe, and the combat power of the army is not strong, let alone those armies in the colonies, which are already the second-rate armies of their country.

So whenever he fought against these colonists, Da Zhou didn't bother at all.

If it weren't for the logistics that couldn't keep up, the Great Zhou army wouldn't have been able to occupy the entire territory of South America for even a year.

Now that the whole of South America has been occupied, the next step is naturally large-scale immigration.

This time, there was no need for the imperial court to do propaganda and promise all kinds of benefits to the immigrants, and countless people rushed to sign up and wanted to participate in the immigration.

The reason is simple: there are silver mines in South America.

Of course, there are countless businesses behind this.

However, these are all in the interests of the Great Zhou, and the imperial court did not pursue them.

With the occupation of South America, large-scale immigration officially began, and countless merchants began to pour into the South American market.

South America is extremely rich in resources, and the mineral varieties are relatively complete, and everyone rushes over to dig the first pot of gold.

It took ten years, and the imperial court immigrated tens of millions of people to South America.

And that's just the immigrants organized by the imperial court.

If you include the immigrants organized by the merchants, the total number of people is more than 13 million.

South America is a vast and sparsely populated region, and European colonists did not have much of a population here.

As soon as the Great Zhou immigrated, the Han people soon became the main ethnic group here.

Among them, the most cheerful is the peasants.

Because the immigrants found that the land here was extremely fertile, there was basically no need to manage it, and the harvest was much higher than that of the Great Zhou region.

This is also nonsense, the land of the Great Zhou, especially the land in the Central Plains, has been cultivated for thousands of years, and the land has long been barren, and naturally it is far less than those newly developed land.

By the end of the 40th year of Tai'an, more than 10,000 people had emigrated to the border areas and overseas occupied areas in the Great Zhou.

The main body is naturally the peasantry.

Who makes the land of the sea fertile?

Even in the 40 years since Tai'an, there are still countless farmers who have migrated with their families with their children, and the main destinations are South America and Anzhou.

In this way, not only the population pressure in Dazhou has been greatly relieved, but also the natural environment in China has also improved a lot.

Especially in northern Shaanxi, between the mountains and ravines, there is a green jungle.

This is also nonsense, over the years, more than seventy percent of the population in northern Shaanxi has emigrated overseas, the land is uncultivated, coupled with the large-scale afforestation of the imperial court here, the greening has naturally gone up.

By the 40th year of Tai'an, the per capita cultivated land area of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty had exceeded 20 acres.

In the vast South America, the per capita arable land is more than 100 acres.

There is no way, a total of tens of millions of people have migrated to South America before and after the Great Zhou.

At first glance, there are a lot of immigrants, but what they have to face is the huge Americas, and the land area of South America, which is more than the mainland area of Dazhou, naturally has more arable land per capita.

Moreover, out of a population of 10 million, at least 5 million live in cities and towns, so those peasants naturally have more arable land.

In addition, some herders from Warat have contracted land on a large scale to build pastures in the Argentine region of southern South America.

The abundance of water and grass in the Argentine region is far from being comparable to that of the Warat savannah, where the herders and people are willing to live and settle here, and no longer have to move along the rivers every day without a fixed place as they did in Warat.

In this wave of immigration, the happiest belong to those merchants.

For businessmen, every time they emigrate, it means a huge business opportunity.

In particular, the silver mines in South America have been coveted for a long time.

The imperial court is not a person who eats alone.

In addition to the designation of a few large silver mines to belong to the imperial court, the remaining small and medium-sized silver mines were all contracted by the imperial court to domestic merchants.
