For Yang Yu to invite himself to the land of America, Yang Yan and Yang Ge are naturally happy, although now their brothers and sisters have more than 20 people, but the most qualified to continue the throne is one of the three of them, not only because the three of them are adults, according to the emperor's current physical condition to live for another ten years, twenty years is no problem, there must be many adult princes when the emperor dies, but they benefit from their mother is not only a concubine, but also when the emperor does not ascend the throne together, Of course, there will be more opportunities than other princes.

Yang Yan and Yang Yu are brothers of the same mother, but the pressure is greater, after all, in the competition for the support of his mother, Yang Yan is equal to no advantage, now Yang Yu is gone, no one knows when he can come back, which is equivalent to giving up the qualification to inherit the throne, the two are naturally relieved, however, for Yang Yu can go freely, and the heart is not envious, such a large piece of land, if it is well managed, although it cannot be compared with the Central Plains, but it is far better than the power that an ordinary prince can achieve.

Like Yang Yu, most of the tens of thousands of people who went to the Americas by boat this time were young people who volunteered, and only a few people were appointed by the court, although the homeland was difficult, but at this time, the Great Sui regardless of the officials and people, the pioneering and adventurous spirit in the bones was far better than that of later generations, and this pioneering and adventurous spirit was the result of a series of brilliant military victories since the founding of the Great Sui, and most of these young people were the second sons of the family, or the third son, the fourth son......, they knew that they could not inherit much family business, and they were more willing to go outside to have a look. Among the people who sailed this time, Li Shimin was also impressively listed.

With the experience of the previous voyage, more than half a year later, the tens of thousands of people led by Yang Yu arrived smoothly, and the losses suffered during the sea voyage were reduced to the minimum, only one ship sank, and more than a dozen people were lost, which is equivalent to a large fleet of tens of thousands of people, this loss can only be regarded as slight.

When Yang Yu and others arrived in the Americas. More than 1,000 people who remained on \\\\\\ first voyage have already established themselves there, and they have opened up tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Several undesirable tribes were defeated, and friendly relations were established with many more indigenous tribes, and they even recruited thousands of indigenous people to work for themselves.

For the Indians of the American continent, these yellow-skinned, black-eyed men came from the sea with fine clothing, porcelain, food, huge ships, and fine armor and weapons. Nothing is as beautiful as they can match. Naturally, it has a huge attraction, except for some greedy tribes who want to plunder through war, the vast majority of Indians have dispelled unrealistic thoughts when they see the Sui army's sophisticated weapons, and they always use all kinds of things they think are the most precious to trade with the Great Sui people.

For the Indians' deal, the Sui army naturally will not refuse, Yang Yong thinks that he is not a tyrant, and he does not have the intention of exterminating the hundreds of thousands of millions of Indians living on the American continent, so it is natural to use means to assimilate, and you must know for a long time. The Han Chinese could not surpass the Indians in the Americas, and the best means of assimilation was to use their advanced culture and exquisite items to lure them. To make the Indians identify with the Great Sui, of course, for the tribes that do not agree, Yang Yong does not mind using violent means to make them identify.

Therefore, in the early days of the Sui army's landing, they sent a lot of silk, cotton, porcelain and other items to the Indian tribes they encountered, which won the favor of many tribes, and after exterminating several tribes by thunder. They were not adapted to the soil except for the initial stage. Basically didn't have much trouble.

The materials that the Indians could exchange with the Han were nothing more than some animal skins and plant seeds, and almost everything that the Han Chinese brought with them the Indians wanted to have. This unequal way of exchange made many Indian tribes quickly destitute, and they could no longer trade anything, and if they wanted to trade with the Han Chinese, they had to work to obtain it, which is the reason why more than 1,000 people in the early stage were able to cultivate tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in a short period of time. *****

With the arrival of Yang Yu and others, the strength of the Han people in the Americas suddenly increased tenfold, for thousands of people is the majority of the land Indians, can no longer pose a threat to the Han people, Yang Yu and others rest assured to run around the stakes, the most fertile land into their own hands, the original land of the Indians either assimilated, or can only retreat, at this time, they really know how big this land is, let them run around, as if forever endless.

In the decades that followed, the Great Sui continued to emigrate to the Americas, and by the time of Yang Yong's death, there were more than 500,000 Han Chinese on the entire American continent. On the contrary, Australian immigration was much slower, and until Yang Yong's death, the entire Australian population was only more than 100,000.

The court's eastward and southward strategy has achieved unprecedented success, in terms of the country's territory alone, the Great Sui has far surpassed the previous dynasties, but in the end the Americas and Australia are too far apart, and the middle is the ocean, there is always an illusory feeling, only westward, where the land is connected to the Central Plains, after the release of the map of the four seas of the world, the Great Sui up and down the ** of land conquest is simply unstoppable, the great cause of twenty-three years, the army of the Great Sui began to cross the Western Regions, ready to conquer new land.

The Sui army was unstoppable, and both the Great and Small Bolu and Khorasan were successfully captured by the Sui army, but when they advanced again, the Sui army soon encountered its opponent, the Persian Empire, which was in its heyday, and they conquered Syria, Turkey, Palestine, Israel, Egypt and the entire Arabian Peninsula in the later period of hundreds of years.

However, the Persian Empire is at war with Byzantium, the war between the two sides has lasted for many years, the addition of the Great Sui, so that the Persian Empire fell into a two-sided war situation, the twenty-fourth year of the Great Cause (626 AD), the Persian Empire army in the siege of the Byzantine capital in the battle to return disastrously, Byzantium took advantage of the situation to counterattack, coupled with the entry of the Eastern Sui army, the Persian Empire sounded the death knell for itself, in just two years, the powerful Persian Empire was in ashes. *****

However, the fall of the Persian Empire did not take much advantage of the Great Sui, due to the long distance, the Sui army was difficult to maintain the food and grass materials, so they had to retreat, the land occupied from the Persian Empire was surrendered, and the Muslims who had been suppressed by the Persians took advantage of the situation to rise and occupy most of the territory of the original Persian Empire.

The war with the Persians lasted for two years, with thousands of casualties and millions of dollars, but it was a wedding dress for others, and the fanaticism of the Great Sui for land expansion finally calmed down, and Yang Yong himself reflected. Now the land area of the Great Sui is large enough, before the original land has been consolidated. Rushing to occupy the new land is nothing more than a castle built on a sandcastle.

In the following ten years, except for the immigration to Luzon, the Americas, Australia and other places, the Great Sui basically stopped major military operations and entered a period of peaceful development.

Thirty-five years after the great cause, Yang Yong is already seventy years old, because of the health regimen. Yang Yong still feels energetic. It's just Yuan Xing'er, but Yun Mei'er has passed away one after another, which makes Yang Yong feel lonely, plus the Great Sui Chengping for more than ten years, the original places have been consolidated, Yang Yong regained his ambition and issued an order to go west again.

As soon as the emperor ordered, the war machine of the Great Sui was put into operation again, and hundreds of thousands of Sui troops plus hundreds of thousands of people began to advance westward. Soon, the territories such as Big and Small Bolu and Khorasan, which had been abandoned, were reincorporated into the arms of the Great Sui, and they were aggressive in the face of the Sui army. The white-clothed Dashi mobilized all his strength to resist the Sui army, and the two sides launched a battle on the banks of the Helmand River, winning and losing each other.

In order to fight against the white-clothed food and prevent the loss of Huluosan and other places, Yang Yong adopted a feudal system on the newly captured land, and divided Khorasan and other places into fiefdoms for Luo Yi, Shi Wansui, and Qu Tutong. ^^ starter (5)20.0 ^^ these three become the new three princes of the opposite sex. Their territory is no longer 10,000 hectares, 20,000 hectares. Rather, there are hundreds of thousands of square kilometers per person.

Since the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, all dynasties have believed that the feudal princes are the source of trouble, in China's more than 1,000 years of feudal society, there is basically no feudal division of the princes, the only exception is the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the sons of the king to guard all sides, but as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang died, his son Zhu Di took the throne of his nephew, which seems to confirm the fact that the princes cannot be divided.

Zhu Yuanzhang only crowned his own son, not to mention outsiders, but Yang Yong had other ideas, Zhou divided the princes and had eight hundred years of the world, but the later dynasties rarely exceeded three hundred years, although centralization has many advantages, but it is easy to ossify, the bigger the country, the more serious this rigidity, so that in addition to the founding generation and two generations of strong and prosperous, basically to the third generation will go downhill.

Yang Yong naturally doesn't want the Great Sui to also embark on this old road, compared to the previous dynasties, the territory of the Great Sui is unprecedentedly vast, Khorasan and other places are too far away from the Great Sui, if the front-line generals do not have the right to arbitrary, it is easy to lose, if it is because of the fear of chaos, simply giving up these places is tantamount to choking on food, it is better to directly clarify their responsibilities, so that they can keep their duties, not to mention that although Luo Yi and the three of them got a fief of tens of thousands of square kilometers, but where was not the territory of the Great Sui first, There was no substantial loss to the Great Sui.

In addition to Luo Yi, Shi Wansui, and Qu Tutong, the three princes of the opposite sex, Yang Yong was more of his own children, and each prince got thousands of square kilometers of fiefs, among which Yang Yu, the king of Chu, had the largest fief, reaching millions of square kilometers of land. **520 ***However, whether it is the prince or the princes with different surnames, their fiefs are far away from the Central Plains, Yang Yong's division of the princes is not to cause instability in the country, the Central Plains must not be divided, if the later generations have mastered most of the resources, even the princes can not be suppressed, it is really time to die, compared to dying in foreign races, Yang Yong would rather die in the Great Sui Dynasty than in his own princes.

Forty years of great cause, Yang Yong is already seventy-five years old, the East Palace of the Great Sui is still unstanding, which makes the ministers of the court worried about Zhong Zhong, although looking at the emperor is very good both mentally and physically, but life is rare for seventy years, the ministers are very worried that once the emperor returns but does not set up the crown prince, the princes compete for the throne, and now the adult princes are far away from the Central Plains, but each has their own fiefdom and army, once the princes cannibalize each other, it is simply a catastrophe for the Great Sui.

Under the leadership of the left servant of Shangshu Lu Mulin, the ministers once again asked the emperor to set up the prince, and the ministers were earnest, Yang Yong also had to consider what was behind him, and agreed to the ministers' request to set up the prince, but it was changed to a secret position, and the name of the prince was stored under the plaque of the Taiji Hall in the form of a secret box. and set up a rule that the secret box is only in the case of the emperor's sudden death and the identity of the crown prince is not disclosed. In order to be able to shoot the same six Shangshu from the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, and be the queen of the dynasty. The four noble concubines opened under the joint gaze.

The emperor announced the position of the crown prince in the form of a secret box, although many people were still dissatisfied, but everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the Great Sui finally avoided the hidden worries of the princes competing for the throne, but everyone's curiosity was also adjusted, and many people couldn't help but speculate secretly. Whose name did the emperor write in the secret box?

Among them, Yang Yan, the king of Wei, and Yang Ge, the king of Zhao, are naturally the most popular. Although many of the other princes are adults, the emperor has never expressed closeness to that prince, naturally no one thinks that the emperor will choose them, Yang Yan and Yang Ge are even more itchy, so they have to act more carefully, lest people catch the handle and sue the emperor's ears, in case the name in the box is himself, because he accidentally let his father change his mind, he will not regret it.

Forty-three years after the great cause, Yang Yong, who is already seventy-eight years old, feels unwell. At this time, Yang Yan, the king of Wei, and Yang Ge, the king of Zhao, were almost sixty years old, and they received the will of their father to return to Beijing. Knowing that his father and emperor would die soon, he was sad and couldn't help but feel a little excited, maybe it would be his turn to become the third emperor of the Great Sui soon.

Forty-four years after the great cause, basically all the princes have entered Beijing, and even Yang Ge, the king of Chu who is far away in North America, has rushed back, but after Sun Simiao's treatment, Yang Yong's illness has miraculously improved, but. Yang Yong is no longer ready to be an emperor. In the past few decades, the emperor felt too tired, so he ordered Lu Mulin, the left servant of Shangshu, to personally remove the secret box that had been stored for several years from under the plaque in the Taiji Palace. It was opened in front of all the princes and ministers.

At this time, Lu Mulin was also in his seventies, and when he opened the secret box and took out the holy decree in it to read, he saw a name that he had never expected, and he couldn't help but scream in surprise, and almost dropped the holy decree in his hand to the ground.

There are only four words in the secret box: "Yang Yu, King of Chu." ”

It's no wonder that Lu Mulin was surprised, since Yang Yu went to the Americas, everyone thought that he had withdrawn from the competition for the throne, but he didn't expect that in the end, the emperor still liked Yang Yu.

Hearing Yang Yu's name, Yang Yan and Yang Ge's faces were full of disappointment, over the years, they have regarded each other as opponents, but they didn't expect the name in the secret box to be silent, the third brother who has left the Central Plains for twenty years, but they don't dare to be dissatisfied, Yang Yong is not dead in the end, just looking at each other with a smile, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they dare not show it.

Choosing Yang Yu to succeed to the throne, in fact, Yang Yong had already made a decision as early as when Yang Yu was willing to go to the Americas, the emperor was far away, with Yang Yu's talent, the Americas would definitely be prosperous, whether it was Yang Yan, Yang Ge or someone else as the emperor, the Americas and the Central Plains were very likely to be in danger of being separated, only Yang Yu would be the emperor would support the Americas as always, and the Americas were Yang Yu's old department, even if they wanted to be separated from the Central Plains, it was impossible.

Of course, if Yang Yu wants to be the king of the Americas and even ignores Yang Yong's will, then naturally there will be no chance to take over the throne, and the division between the Americas and the Central Plains has become a foregone conclusion, and even Yang Yong will be helpless, but in this way, Yang Yu knows that his father and emperor chose him as the heir, and I am afraid that he will beat his chest with regret.

The heir was determined, Yang Yong was not on the throne, and directly gave the throne to Yang Yu, forty-four years of great cause, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the year was named Kaiyuan, but Yang Yong did not stay in the capital as the emperor, and floated down by boat with a team of guards, he wanted to take advantage of his lifetime to visit the land under his rule.

After Yang Yu became the emperor, the connection between the Central Plains and the Americas became closer, but he did not establish his own crown prince in the form of a secret box, but directly set up the eldest son who stayed in the Americas as the crown prince, and since then the Great Sui has formed a system, basically the crown prince is inherited by the prince who is sealed in the Americas, so that this land will not be out of the control of the Central Plains.

Ten years of Kaiyuan, news came from the capital, the emperor died in Yangzhou, immediately the whole country mourned, Yang Yu regardless of his advanced age, personally went to Yangzhou to welcome the coffin of the emperor into Beijing, all the ministers praised the emperor's benevolence and filial piety, the emperor did not choose the wrong heir.

After Yang Yong was buried, Yang Yu and the ministers selected the name for Yang Yong, but they were not satisfied with the selection and selection, with Yang Yong's merits, it is not an exaggeration to use any praise, and finally Yang Yu made a decision, and set Yang Yong's nickname as "Emperor Wenwu Ming Ruiren of Shengzong", and later generations called it Emperor Shengzong of Sui.
