It only takes two or three years of hard work for Gaoyang to once again restore the territory of the heyday of the Central Plains Dynasty. From then on, it was to seize the time to encourage overseas sailing, and send troops across the sea to occupy the island nation to the east. They went south to the islands of the South Seas to purge the natives and occupy the fertile Southeast Asian region.

Of course, Oceania and New Zealand to the south can't be spared. Such a large piece of land suitable for survival, and the scenery is so beautiful and magnificent, how can it be possible to leave those white people who do not bathe all year round and are dirty?

If you want to take the lead in the great navigation, Gaoyang has no shortage of materials. What he needs to do is change the mindset of all people. Wealth is overseas, not in this ancient land that has been cultivated for thousands of years! People have to get out there and open their eyes to see the outside world!

For a rainy day.

In Hangzhou Bay, the construction of a brand new shipyard has begun, and state-of-the-art production equipment is everywhere. Generational construction concepts, such as the ability to build large steel ships and advanced powertrains that can move forward without sails, have spread rapidly under the teachings of biochemical warriors.

Japan at this time was a veritable land of gold. The country is rich in gold and silver, as well as large quantities of sulfur. If you want the locals to look to the sea, they must let them see the gold and silver mountains overseas.

When Gao Yang's distant-water fishing boats purchased from the modern era appeared in Hangzhou Bay, it shocked everyone.

The locals had already heard of it, and they had seen the big iron boats in those picture albums and shadow puppet shows, and they already had some impressions of this fairy treasure-like thing in their hearts. However, when they actually saw the real thing, everyone was naturally shocked.

A 3,000-ton pelagic trawler is not a rarity in modern times. But if you say a thousand years above, it is an out-and-out artifact!

When this ocean-going fishing boat took two smaller fishing boats loaded with all kinds of goods and could go to sea without sailing, all the way to Japan, and exchanged those porcelain, silk, tea and so on for a large amount of real money and returned to Hangzhou Bay. Everyone's eyes are red!

You can still go to sea this season, and run back and forth so fast, and make so much money. Who doesn't blush when you see it?!

Soon, the newly built docks were crowded with people who wanted to buy the new big ships. Of course, Gaoyang is not refused, and this kind of spontaneous large-scale economic behavior of the people is the best means to truly promote economic development.

Although Gaoyang is not short of money, he can use this incident to promote the Age of Discovery in the East to come faster.

Sailing out to sea is a matter of the future. After the Spring Festival and the weather gradually warmed up, Gao Yang's primary goal was to give priority to solving the Jurchens who had been hit hard one after another and suffered a great loss in strength.

If he didn't destroy them, Gao Yang wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully. He was afraid that he didn't know when the space-time portal would suddenly collapse and he would have to get out of here. If you give the Jurchens a relief, it will be really in vain for so long.

In the days of spring, the first thing to do is not to gather a large army to the north to carry out a war to destroy the country. Instead, we must finish the spring ploughing first.

The plan of the year lies in the spring. In this era, farming and eating food was the top priority. Gao Yang had bought a large number of processing machinery and raw materials from modern time and space. The bio-warriors worked all winter with their selected apprentices, producing a large number of various production tools.

It is not practical to use mechanized production tools directly, because the daily maintenance of those mechanized tools is extremely difficult. A step-by-step approach adopted by Gao Sun. First of all, hoes, iron plows and other tools were distributed free of charge to farmers everywhere.

Don't underestimate these worthless things. In this era, steel products were a real luxury, and many remote places even used wooden tools for farming. With the new steel tools, productivity is greatly improved.

Not to mention that Gaoyang is also promoting high-yield miracle crops such as potatoes and corn on a large scale in various places. After a few breeding and re-promotion, the horrific yield relative to the population of this era was enough to support a large-scale outward expansion.

Go to the west exit, break through the east of the border, and go down to the South Seas! Gao Yang wants to inspire all these things in advance! Before the large-scale migration wave was launched, what Gao Yang had to do was to use a strong army to sweep away the original local indigenous people in these places and vacate the land!

At the beginning of April, nearly 200,000 troops had gathered near Bianliang City. With the support of a larger number of soldiers and civilians, after a huge sacrifice to the sky, they crossed the Yellow River and went north along the road built in winter, straight to Yanjing City!

Northern expedition. Gao Yang's goal is very clear, that is, the henchmen of the north!

The flag is waving, and the flow of people is rolling. Hundreds of thousands of people marched on the avenue, and the shocking momentum was enough to shake the earth. Birds and beasts are far away, and gods and ghosts avoid each other.

The advance of an army of this size cannot be concealed at all, and Gao Yang has no idea of concealing it. The news soon reached the ears of the Jurchen magnates.

At first they didn't believe it. Not to mention that the peace treaty was just signed a few years ago, how could the Song Kingdom, which has always regarded itself as a state of etiquette, be so unbearable. How long has it been since you turned your face?

There is also the fact that the Song army is different from the Jurchens. The army of the Song State went to war to pay money. There is money for marching, money for fighting, and even for archers to shoot several rounds of bows and arrows when they are in battle!

So many soldiers and civilians have eaten and drunk all the way to a distance of thousands of miles. How much does that cost? These are the original words of Wanyan Zonghan, who is extremely familiar with the national conditions of the Song Kingdom.

In his opinion, after years of war, the Song State simply could not afford to launch a military operation of such a scale in such a short period of time.

The spies sent to the Song State reported that the Song State had not been able to achieve complete unification of government and military orders internally at this moment, and there were still many places that disobeyed the imperial court in Bianliang City. Whether it is the taxes delivered in various places or the materials sent to Bianliang City, they have been greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, how could they launch a large-scale military campaign that would bankrupt the Song court?

No matter how smart Yan Zonghan is, no matter how far-sighted he is, he won't understand what amazing secrets Gao Yang has!

After the new reorganization, the army is no longer the mercenary army that fell into the eyes of money. The army of the Great Song Dynasty at this moment, at least under the command of Gao Yang, has gradually transformed into a national army in the true sense.

They are well paid and highly respected. The status in society is not at all comparable to the previous one.

Responsibility, honor! Although it has not been a long time, these newly recruited sergeants have been successfully transformed, and they are proud to defend their homeland and country!

The sergeants worked hard for the country, and Gao Yang would not treat them badly. If you pay directly, it will be the same as the mercenary army before. Gao Yang gave an extremely generous treatment.

Not to mention the daily treatment that is already enviable, and the rich salary, it is just to accumulate military merits according to the length of service, and when you retire, you can exchange military merits for a large amount of money or good land!

For the people of East Asia's agrarian peoples, there is really nothing more attractive to them than the land.

In addition to this, if the sergeants are disabled by the war. It's not just when you're fighting, you're also disabled when you're training. The army will also compensate the disabled sergeants, and in addition to giving money, they will also make arrangements for their future life.

Generally, they are transferred to local government service, and the sergeant's ancestral home is transferred back to wherever he is. When these trained sergeants return to their hometowns, they are Gao Yang's tentacles reaching out in all directions!

If you die in battle, then the compensation is even greater. If you have immediate family members, you can go through a medical examination and go directly to the military service. Or get a recommended spot for the exam at a military academy.

In addition to sending a huge pension to the family, it will also be tax-free. The same military exploits were forwarded to the fields according to the highest standards, all of which were given to the beneficiaries on the information sheets filled out by the sergeants when they entered the barracks.

The world is too big, and it's still in the fertile land that no one cultivates everywhere. Not to mention anything else, the large fertile black soil in the Northeast alone is enough to feed countless people!

The islands of the South Seas to the south also have the huge land of Oceania. With so much territory, someone has to live on it to be truly occupied.

Gao Yang's plan was to distribute it to the sergeants under his command as much as possible. One hundred acres, two hundred acres. Not a problem at all. It can not only solve the problem of vast land and sparse population, but also stimulate the combat of the army. It's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.

The Jurchen messenger soon came. Ask what such a large army wants to do when it goes north? Did the Song Kingdom want to break the sacred contract? What about the magnanimity of a great country? What about the traditions of the ceremonial state?

Gao Yang simply scoffed at this. What bearing? What tradition? It's not bullshit in front of interests! Gao Yang was not stupid enough to tie his hands and feet with these useless things, giving the surrounding wolves time to breathe, and waited dryly for those hungry wolves to come to their senses and pounce on them again with red eyes to bite them.

Not to mention, there are really ministers who have used these reasons to oppose the Northern Expedition. It is also said that how can a big country do something treacherous?

Gao Yang didn't say much at the time. It's just that I have already written down the fools who said these things in my heart. After the Northern Expedition was completed, he sent all these fools to the newly established territory overseas to serve as parents. Let them go and talk to those cannibalistic people and talk about the truth.

For the Jurchen envoys, Gao Yang didn't mean to play any tricks. directly stated his position, either the clan surrendered, or all of them were exterminated! There is no other way to go!

After the matter was confirmed, the panicked Jurchen magnates first attacked and insulted each other, and even staged an all-martial arts exercise before finally unifying their thoughts. All the Jurchens have been mobilized, and they are going to fight for their survival! r1152
