"That's what they've learned from their round-the-world voyages?" Bai Jia looked at the report in his hand and asked.

"That's all there is to it, but it's much more than Magellan's. The first crossing of the Pacific Ocean produced a revolution in the history of geography and navigation. It proves that most of the Earth's surface is not land, but oceans, and that the oceans around the world are not isolated from each other, but a unified and complete body of water. In this way, it played a pioneering role in the navigation career of future generations. And a third of the time, more sailing journeys, more

Discover, more route options and wealth, more scale, stronger technical support, more revenue.

The voyage of this attack can indeed be raised to the level of strategic layout second only to the route. However, we can differentiate the proceeds from this voyage, and what needs to be announced should be vigorously reported, and what is not necessary and must be kept secret needs to be blocked.

The biggest takeaway was the opening of round-the-world routes and the discovery of most of the unknown habitable areas of the Southern Hemisphere (Antarctica, which is undiscovered and uninhabitable). As for the rest of the gains, we will need to evaluate the rest of the ships when they return.

The test of the trade winds in the subcontinent was also done very well, and now the direct flight to the eastern part of Xuanzhou is basically effortless. It's a big credit for this data collection. Li Ji was also very satisfied with the results of the voyage.

"Who is that Li Wen, the Holy Spirit? This new prince is full of praise for him! According to the description, this guy is simply the Darwin of the East! The important ecological islands along the various routes have been extremely successful in their discoveries and achievements.

It is estimated that it will not be long before we will see a great master born. Sun Chang may have absorbed him into the Institute of Genetic Improvement. The masters who discovered the theory of evolution themselves and the technicians who taught it within us are not at the same level at all. Zhao Shouzhong sighed.

"We've just picked up a baby! However, after this expedition is over, we are ready to guide ** to the conquest of India, some time ago, India had a little mess, a few merchants were ruined by the local Brahmins when ** textiles, we must take this to reshuffle the local economy, otherwise the various factions in the entire empire's sphere of influence will have many unnecessary ideas, doubt our control and prestige, and increase the cost of our order.

This is also the handle that the other party took the initiative to send to us, no need to use it in vain! Wang Xinyu gave Li Ji a look that you know.

"Don't pretend! Who doesn't know that those dead businessmen are the pioneers of our sworn enemies, and the hope of those wealthy families in Jiangnan to turn the tables in the end is not the overseas pie you painted! Isn't it your usual style to send families who have been battered by the rubber stock bubble to engage in bloody colonial trade overseas, wait for them to taste the sweetness and then start conflict with your plans, and make these ghosts of the dead an excuse for the expansion of the empire?

The next time it must be larger, it will be more natural, and a few people who are angry with the small family will move the people when they die, and it seems that we are too proactive, and no one believes in it without concealment and conspiracy. Liu Jiao knew his ghost idea as soon as he saw Wang Xinyu, and he didn't hesitate to expose his old background.

"You know, as long as the fuse is triggered, the conflict between the rancid slavery hierarchy of Brahmanism and the ** capitalism to which we open the market can be manifested as the ignorant upper echelons of these Hindu countries being purged by coups d'état and wars in which foreign forces interfere in their internal affairs.

We have long wanted to open this big market of 80 million people. Not to mention, the country's productivity is still greater than that of the Delhi Sultan's time, statistics show that it has not yet been Islamized, the jihad has not yet burned down a large number of infrastructure and projects here, and a large number of talents and craftsmen are still in a comparative advantage. If a large amount of wealth wants to become a thing with a sense of existence, it must be a fixed asset, the productivity of an agricultural society is low, and a natural disaster [***] will consume decades of savings, India actually benefits from superior agricultural conditions to feed a large number of agricultural population, and its overall purchasing power has almost reached the size of Huaxi Village in the 21st century, which is quite a considerable figure. Our largest industry, the textile industry, has a rich production capacity that can be exported in part! ”

Gao Jing, who had no positive surname at all, was very disdainful of fighting and killing, and always hoped that cultural aggression would solve all problems, but in the case of overcapacity in the textile printing and dyeing industry, which he was mainly responsible for, he had to support his accomplices to use violence to open up the market.

According to the experience of previous lives, the overcapacity of all industries is caused by the rapid improvement and diffusion of production technology, and the growth rate of market size determined by the quantity and quality of consumers cannot keep up with the growth rate of production capacity. In order to solve this contradiction, there are two main ways, one is to open source, and the other is to reduce expenditure. The so-called open source is to open up the market and increase the quantity and quality of consumers (purchasing power and purchase**).

There are various ways to open source, such as going out to open up the external market (it doesn't matter whether it is violent or non-violent, there is no morality in the face of profit); For example, price reduction promotion (whether it is an impact on the market or not, resulting in the elimination of backward production capacity and unemployment in the sales area); For example, those who come slowly share the dividends of market expansion caused by population increase; For example, the opening of price controls and restrictions to release purchasing power (just like the boom in production and sales in the early stage of the reform when the dual-track price system was merged); Another example is the creation of demand (the fashion industry has no demand, and the consumer spirit meets the needs of being used to actively create consumer demand); For example, forced consumption (the act of forced buying and selling, like the Spanish colonizers forcibly selling glasses to the illiterate group of Indian tribes. ）； I won't mention boasting, exaggerating, false advertising, and the like.

There are also many ways to reduce expenditure, such as many ways to reduce the speed of technological improvement (natural monopoly, administrative monopoly, resource monopoly, etc. may suppress technological progress); the phenomenon of artificially creating a shortage of supply (the phenomenon of destroying surplus products to maintain prices and profits always occurs in the imperialist countries); Planned economy and open and transparent information (demand and production capacity are matched by the instructions led by the political axe, and the absolute information symmetry market does not have the owner to create too much surplus capacity, just like the garlic grower who knows that the domestic output of garlic next year will exceed the total demand, he will definitely not make himself lose money with a variety of garlic. The planned economy suffers from inefficiency and waste, and the market economy suffers from backwardness and blindness)

Traversal only likes open source and doesn't like throttling, so they have to find a breakthrough with the least resistance.

India, which is the easiest to achieve, is seen as a major near-term goal of open source. The military bases in Singapore and Ceylon are all gold-swallowing beasts built to escort them, and they can finally play some tactical value in the true sense.

Forty thousand regular troops were assembled in the port of Colombo, ready to land on Chola and eliminate the Brahmins and slave owners who were harming their own merchants.

It was indeed arranged by Wang Xinyu that the unlucky Zhu Luoguo took the initiative to send the handle this time, but the unlucky businessmen were all purchasers and middlemen in India from the chambers of commerce under the wealthy families in Jiangnan who were eager to recover, and most of them were poor people and slaves who were appreciated by the chamber of commerce and obtained imperial citizenship as 'Indian compradors'. Compared with the local aristocracy, the wealthy chambers of commerce were naturally very relieved of these obedient 'own people', and the advance payments for the purchase of various local products became more and more, so much that the local Brahmins were tempted.

When a shopkeeper with no one in his eyes offends a Chola nobleman, naturally nothing good will come of it, and those who believe in Shiva are not vegetarians. After smashing, looting, and burning, a lot of pond fish naturally occurred.

Many of the traders' bases that hired 'Indian compradors' were looted. The result of the lack of people and money was naturally that those fool-like gate lords bleed hemorrhage, and the Brahmins of Chola swept away the wealth of tens of millions of dragon dollars that they had managed to accumulate.

This kind of **, anti-civilization latest naturally has to be sanctioned, and the result is naturally that the arrogant Chola country has become a piece of history.

When the smoke cleared and the ruins of the capital of Chola revealed its empty body after the fire burned out, the truth of the matter no longer mattered.

Driven hundreds of kilometers upstream, the Marines and Special Forces wiped out more than 4,000 defending infantry in an extremely short siege battle, and the plague against the elephants wiped out the combat effectiveness of their cavalry. The offensive and defensive battles in Wangcheng also ended extremely quickly with the power of particle gunpowder and directional blasting technology.

The Chola Kingdom, which had changed its master, fulfilled its historical mission in the hands of a puppet newly supported by the empire, a distant relative of the imperial family, and disappeared into the world. Chola had the honor of being the first country after the founding of the empire to go from a trading partner to a protectorate to a colony of the Viceroyalty. It took only two months from the beginning of the war to the establishment of the Viceroyalty. The whole subcontinent was shocked by the war, and envoys from various countries went to Colombo's Crown Territory like crazy to meet with the Governor in charge.

A blitzkrieg aimed at opening the markets of the subcontinent under the pretext of revenge for the Chola Brahmins, insulting and robbing the people of the empire, had a far-reaching effect, and brought the subcontinent states to their knees almost as much as Alexander's destruction of Persia. Treaties of friendship were signed one after another, and the target countries, the Baltic Kingdom and Nepal, became allies and strategic partners of the empire.

The successful killing of chickens and monkeys through the crowd has obtained everything they want, and the goal of driving the nail into the subcontinent has been perfectly achieved, and now it is time to slowly start the second step of the plan. After all, the population of Chola is only 14 million (the price of the destruction of the capital is 200,000 dead and wounded), and there are still close to 66 million people waiting for the liberation of the empire!
