At that time, there was no concept of "continent", but the word "continent" had already been created.

For example, on the plains of Mesopotamia there was the Assyrian Empire, which established provinces after being destroyed by the Roman Empire; Assyria was written Asu, and later the word Asia appeared; Africa has the Afrikans, the city of Afrika and the goddess Afrikan, etc.

Because Gao Shun had a map, when he explained to everyone, he unconsciously used the concept of "continent" in later generations, and used words such as Asia and Africa, which were simple and easy to remember, and everyone quickly accepted this concept.

Gao Shun feels that the most convenient way to upgrade is to occupy Africa, which can be upgraded several times in a row.

Previously, he had no intention of occupying Africa when he did not occupy North Africa, and after taking the Mediterranean coast of Africa, he felt that it was very easy to conquer Africa.

After continuous upgrades, his system map was finally fixed within a radius of 1,000 kilometers, and no longer increased, but this was already a very large territory, and in the environment at that time, it was enough for Gao Shun to use.

He planned to continue the strategy of conquering Southern Wei Zhou, only conquering the coastal areas of Africa, as long as castles were built within a thousand kilometers of each other, the adjacent areas would be recognized as Gaoshun's territory.

Africa is lacking, but there are many rivers, especially in the coastal areas, where the terrain is relatively low, where there are rivers, there are alluvial plains, and these plain areas are the target of Gaoshun.

From the port of Suez, they sailed along the southern shore of the Red Sea, and wherever there was a source of water, they were to set up a small fortress and build a seaport, and the Red Sea coast was assigned to the Egyptian Empire, which would greatly increase the control of the area and facilitate the expansion of navigation.

The first powerful enemy to face was Emperor Axum, who was in later Ethiopia.

He has conquered the Ethiopian plateau, Meroe and other regions, and is known as the "King of Kings".

Gao Shun and others first took the port of Adulis on the Red Sea coast, which was the most important trading port of the Axum Empire, and was a distribution center for ivory, slaves, spices, grain, wine, cotton, gold, ivory, spices, rhino horn and hawksbill turtles. It is not far from the Atbara River in the west, and can reach the middle reaches of the Nile River along the river in the north, so it is also a distribution center for inland trade.

The people of the Aksumite Empire built terraces and irrigation projects, cultivated wheat and grapes, or grazed cattle and sheep, and tamed wild elephants. Skilled craftsmen have carved (not masonry) churches and bunkers on the top of the mountain, which is a masterpiece.

The people here believe in Christianity, which makes Gao Shun very dissatisfied, and originally wanted to stay with them as slaves, but now Gao Shun demanded that all of them be reduced to slaves according to the previous measures, and the old and weak should be killed, and the empire should be wiped out from the world, and a county was built in the country's place.

Crossing the Horn of Africa and continuing southward, the cities established thereafter were no longer manageable for the Egyptian Empire.

At that time, due to the backward transportation, there was a limit to the territory area controlled by each country, and beyond this limit, even if the war was conquered, the local people would resist and become independent, so Gao Shun made them an independent city-state from the beginning and got the opportunity to develop independently.

In order to protect the safety of the people left behind, Gao Shun built a strong city for them, which was the base for their outward expansion; There are two specifications of the planned city, the side length of the big city is generally four li, the height is five zhang, such a city will generally leave 10,000 couples, including 2,000 senior cavalry, 2,000 senior infantry, 5,000 junior infantry and 1,000 craftsmen.

The main responsibility of the senior cavalry and senior infantry was to expand externally and protect the security of the tribe; The primary infantry's main responsibilities were to reclaim wasteland, plant, cut down, graze, and occupy the city to defend the city.

Craftsmen also work in their spare time to cultivate wasteland.

All management is staffed by a senior civil servant and three senior military attachés.

The side length of a small city is only two and a half miles, and such a city usually leaves about 5,000 couples.

The island of Madagascar was not missed either.

A year and a half later, Gao Shun and others arrived in South Africa, where they prepared to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction and build it into a huge Han Chinese state.

Gao Shun named the country the Huaxia Empire.

The oldest and most basic carrier of a country, a society, a nation, and a civilization is a large enough population, so Gao Shun is building locally, while synthesizing a large number of people, and releasing the system for them to undertake the construction task.

The first is the construction of castles, followed by the construction of infrastructure such as arable land and roads.

Again, mineral mining, smelting, etc., without a sufficient amount of steel, it is impossible to equip an army, it is impossible to build a strong army.

The reason why Gaoshun values the territory of South Africa is because it is rich in mineral resources.

South Africa is famous for its rich mineral resources, as of 2004, there are more than 70 kinds of minerals that have been proven and mined, gold, platinum group metals, manganese, vanadium, chromium, silicon, aluminate reserves rank first in the world, of which gold reserves account for 60% of the world, vermiculite, zirconium, titanium, fluorite rank second, phosphate, antimony ranks fourth, uranium, lead ranks fifth, coal, zinc ranks eighth, iron ore ranks ninth, copper ranks fourteenth. Diamonds, asbestos, copper, vanadium, uranium, coal, iron, titanium, mica, lead, etc. are also extremely rich, and the output of gold, diamonds, vanadium, manganese, chromium, antimony, uranium, asbestos, etc. ranks among the top in the world. [1]

The coal resources are 205.7 billion tons, accounting for 83% of Africa, and the coal measure is shallow, 96% of the coal reserves are buried at a depth of less than 200 meters, and the maximum mining depth is 320 meters.

Gao Shun is most concerned about minerals such as coal, iron, and copper, which are necessary for the birth of advanced civilizations.

Moreover, Gao Shun has left a huge space for development after the population growth in the future, and the whole of Africa is the direction of their expansion, as long as the Huaxia Kingdom is built, the tribes of the African continent are not opponents, of course, Gao Shun hopes that they will develop to the distant Egyptian Empire, but that is impossible, only the eastern part of Africa, is enough for them to develop.

With Gao Shun's monthly income of more than 30 million points, in addition to infrastructure construction and the provision of necessary food and other materials, all points are used to synthesize the population, there are more than 100,000 people per month, in order to expand the number, Gao Shun has to take pikemen, primary infantry and primary cavalry as the main synthetic targets.

After more than a year, a total of nearly two million people and one million couples have been released in the local area; With such a basic population, Gao Shun believes that the Chinese civilization will be passed on forever.

At the same time, a large number of slaves were captured, but they were only slaves, even women, and they had no chance of being concubines.

A total of five large cities, twelve small cities, and thirty county towns were built.

With the help of many people, a large number of roads were built, a large amount of farmland was reclaimed and renovated, and major irrigation canals were built.

Gao Shun is very satisfied with the construction in the past year.

Then set off and head north along the west coast.

On the west coast, Gaoshun only built a small number of castles, with a large spacing, nearly a thousand kilometers, and the population left behind was relatively small.

After more than three years, Gao Shun and the others returned to Dingis, the westernmost port of the Egyptian Empire, which was separated from Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar.

Gao Shun decided to rest here for a month.

Everyone is looking forward to the upgrade.
