In the autumn of the sixth year of Dayu, the 400,000-strong army of Huang Zhong's army, which had accumulated a year's worth of grain and armor, marched westward, and launched a thunderous blow against the Xizhou Uighurs in two ways under the pretext that the Xizhou Uighurs connived at the Liao soldiers to cross the border.

Before the arrival of winter, Huang Zhong swept the land of the Western Regions, rebuilt the capital of the Western Regions, and accumulated grain and grass in Guizi to prepare for the next year's westward expedition.

In the same year, the Fazheng Institute ended its northern expedition.

This method of warfare was the Northern Expedition, which swept and slaughtered thousands of people in the northern part of the desert, more than 3 million people, and the remnants of the tribes such as Mughul who had not yet grown up trembled, expressed their submission, and offered tribute to Dong Huang such as beauties and famous horses.

Fa Zheng also realized the ideal of carving stone Yanran and drinking horses in Beihai.

After this battle, at least until the end of this mission, there will be no more threats from the north.

The battle between the two armies of Fazheng and Huang Zhong brought Dong Huang an income of 221481 war points, and the Uighurs of Xizhou were not considered a fifth-level country, and no additional rewards were calculated.

After the end of these two major battles, at the end of the sixth year of Dayu, Dayu's enemies in traditional China were only the Southern Song Dynasty, Dali, Tubo and the dispensable Huangtou Hui.

Since Dong Huang came to this world in the second year of Dayu, and during this period of time, Dayu's shipbuilding technology and navigation technology have also developed by leaps and bounds.

Zhu Heng and others have established two shipping lanes to the Bering Strait, Yingzhou, Goryeo-Nuergan (near the mouth of the Heilongjiang River), Dongning (near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka), Bac Ninh (Chukotka County), and Yingzhou-Dongning of the Kuril Islands (near Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka) - Bac Ninh (Chukotka County), and have also explored the shipping route to the Aleutian Peninsula, but due to climate and ship reasons, these shipping lanes are not mature.

However, the channel from Dayu to Mayi is very mature.

Mayi is the Turkish word meaning "land of the blacks" and is located in the northern part of the Philippines.

The aborigines of Mayi are actually small black people in Southeast Asia.

It is also possible that the Kunlun slaves of the Tang Dynasty were these little blacks.

These aborigines, who did not even enter the slave era, were no threat to the Dayu army, and Zhu Heng easily conquered them, allowing them to live a civilized life and happily become the slaves of the Dayu army.

With this uninterrupted effort, Dong Huangjun can actually make several attempts at great navigation.

Of course, the danger is unpredictable, after all, it is still the age of sailing, and ocean voyages mainly rely on luck, ocean currents, monsoons and technology, and it is likely that several fleets and tens of thousands of people will be lost before a feasible route can be explored.

However, for Dong Huang, it doesn't matter if he can come back or not, as long as he can send the army to the American continent, it will be a victory.

Dong Huang, who has fifteen years in this world, does not need to establish a colonial economy, and the army sent over does not need to come back, but only needs to continue to conquer, conquer, and reconquer in the Americas!

Dong Huang only needs to conquer, only need to destroy more enemies, kill more war agents, and get more war points.

In this process, it doesn't matter if you overdraft the people's resources.

As for the money problem in this world, there are gold and silver mines in Yingzhou anyway, and the money obtained from plundering outside the world is enough for Dong Huang to squander for a long, long time.

When Fa Zheng returned to Haojing with joy, the whole person was numb.

"I'm going to the Great Voyage?"

Fa Zheng couldn't believe his ears.

But when he thought about it, hey, he's really the best fit for the Great Voyage.

Although Dong Huang's navy is strong, and many of the navy generals are also good, he can't stand the degree of land warfare, and he, not only can he fight water battles but also land battles, and he can also treat medical treatment, and he also has a variety of means to deal with some strange things, which is indeed the most suitable for opening up new maps.

Moreover, under the unanimous opinion of Dong Huang, Jia Xu, the cabinet and all of Dong Huang's harem, Fa Zheng has to go if he doesn't go.

"It's okay, at least you don't have to face these cold eyebrows."

Fa Zheng laughed at himself in his heart: "Moreover, if I only need to go and don't need to return, I won't be able to send a woman to Your Majesty, this time, Lao Tzu finally doesn't have to send a woman anymore!" ”

has always been stabbed in the back for some reason, but he has been misunderstood for relying on constantly sending women brainlessly to get the Fa Zheng who is now in a high position, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He made up his mind that when he went to the Americas, he would never let Pian Fan return to Dayu.

I will never give a daughter to His Majesty this time, hahahaha!

Fa Zheng was complacent, but he didn't notice the smile in Jia Xu's squinting eyes.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the transportation of the army needs to be fully prepared, and there must be a reliable route before it can be done, and there may be many war agents on the unknown continent, and it is also very likely that there will be a strong country, and the first delivery of troops may have to be about 100,000 to ensure a firm foothold!"

After Fa Zheng expressed his worries, he said: "There are still many navigators in the Song Kingdom, and there are also many good generals under Cheng Zhongde, so the minister suggested that Cheng Zhongde and the minister should go on the expedition together." ”

"Cheng Zhongde? After the destruction of the Song Dynasty, it is okay. ”

Dong Huang nodded.

Next, it will take one to two years to test the route, and more and larger sailing ships need to be built, so it will be too late after the destruction of the Song Dynasty, anyway, the Southern Song Dynasty is like a deep resentful woman who has been waiting for her lover for a long time, and it has already been whitewashed, and Dong Huang can eat it at any time.

However, after Jia Xu heard that Fa Zheng wanted Cheng Yu, his eyes flashed.

Obviously, he understood the subtext that Dong Huang didn't understand, and there was a glint of approval in his eyes.

The matter of the Great Voyage was thus decided, and the next focus became how to annex the Southern Song Dynasty.

In recent years, under the control of the "four thieves" such as Empress Dowager Wei, Tong Guan, Liang Zhongshu, and Cheng Yu, the Southern Song Dynasty can be described as a poor livelihood.

Li Gang, Kou Zhun and others, who advocated the Northern Expedition, were sent to Qiongzhou, Chen Dong, who wrote impassionedly, was killed, Yao Gu's father and son, who complained about the four people, were persecuted, and the army was seized, and the whole country surrendered from top to bottom.

Of course, although it was powerless to fight against Dayu, it was very good at dealing with internal rebellion, because Dong Huang went south and got the opportunity to survive, Fang La's department was finally exterminated by Cheng Yu's mobilization of the Southern Song Dynasty army, and many war agents also turned into wonderful war points one after another.

With the support of Empress Dowager Wei and the laissez-faire of Tong Guan, Liang Zhongshu and others, Cheng Yu has preliminarily completed the reorganization of the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty and firmly controlled the military power.

And this also made Song Jiang, who nominally became the fifth person in the Great Song Dynasty as the second-in-command of Liang Shan, see it in his eyes and remember it in his heart.

As the fifth person in the Southern Song Dynasty and the fourth-ranked existence in the court, Song Jiang knew that even if he defected to Dong Huang, he would not be able to get a higher status.

The unprecedented status of the court made Song Jiang completely sit on the side of the Great Song Dynasty.

I, Song Gongming, am the first loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty!
