Nothing can make Liu Yan feel happier than the sparkling boat and the view of the forest of Han flags. Although some of his efforts have been for power, he does not go against his heart to say that it is for the fallen Han people to stand up again.
Liu Yan has long been unable to meet the needs of revitalizing the glory of the Han family. What he wants is to see all the Han flags in the world. He doesn't want to see the flags of any country or nation except the Han flag.
"To master HNA is to master the world." Liu Yan knows that Zhuxia culture has always been a land power culture, which is determined by the threat from the land itself: "now there is no threat to the existence of big men on the land. We have enough energy to focus on the ocean."
About 70% of the earth is sea, and less than 30% is land. Although people live on land, the importance of the ocean is not low at all. It can even be said that controlling the ocean is very important to the country (Nation).
Sang Yu thought that if Han did not explore the ocean, it would not get those precious metals from the Japanese islands, let alone spices and other resources from the Nanyang islands. As one of the three Imperial Envoys, he knew clearly and clearly that the current Han country was fundamentally dependent on overseas output. If it did not obtain resources from overseas, let alone continue to maintain the expansion trend, it would be a great miracle if the domestic people were not hungry.
Yu Yi thought of more things. The Han country obtained a huge amount of resources from overseas and made an expedition across the sea for the first time. He deeply understood that the Han Army had landed on the A3 continent and controlled the puppet country of gitanado, and had begun to obtain resources from gitanado. Once a greater situation was opened in the A3 continent, more resources would be transported back to China.
"If we don't go to war with other countries, we can see ownerless places everywhere." Liu Yan clearly remembers that the investigators who went to South Africa sent back information. Anyway, they just found some indigenous tribes. According to the civilized system, if a country is not formed, it is not a master: "as long as there is a spirit of adventure, it can be a Han paradise everywhere."
In fact, even if there is a formed country, as long as it can fight, it can be regarded as an ownerless land. Only when it can compete with itself or cannot fight, will it recognize who that land belongs to. Therefore, it is appropriate to say that any civilization is a hunter in the dark. The contact between civilizations starts with blood, and weak civilizations can only accept destruction.
At present, Asia, Europe and Africa have the highest degree of civilization on the earth. Asia and Europa have had brilliant civilizations successively.
Among them, the splendid civilizations in Asia account for a higher proportion. Not to mention Zhuxia and ah San, Egypt, Babylon, Hittite, Assyria, Phoenicia and Medea, which have left traces in history, have appeared in the Middle East. They are also the birthplaces of several major religions.
The fire of Europa's civilization began in the Greek Islands. They used to exist in the Mediterranean. It happens that they will have gratitude and resentment with those civilizations in the Middle East. Even if they become overlords in Rome, they continue to perform various epic bloody competitions.
There are not many civilizations in Africa that can hold hands. Carthage is the most famous one, but another Numidian civilization is also good, that is, the rulers of Numidia are not very smart. Two thirds of Egypt's territory during the Ptolemaic dynasty was also in Africa. The other longest living meroei had no sense of existence, but meroei made great contributions to the archaeological community. Meroei successively built more than 200 pyramids.
South America and North America have a sense of existence only when Europa opens the era of great navigation. Europa people are stupid when they cross the sea. They can't understand that they have entered the firearms age, but the aborigines in the two places are good. South America has at least developed to the bronze age, but they really don't understand what those people in North America have done for thousands of years and are still in the stone age.
Driven by Liu Yan's will, the state of Han has been looking for North America. In fact, the Han people have landed in North America, but the place they step on is a piece of ice and snow. They thought it was to the North Pole. In fact, it is really the North American continent (Alaska).
If the Bering Strait were not covered with glaciers all year round, it would be difficult to open a route for ships to pass through. It would not take long to restore its original appearance and let 10000 heavily armed Han troops land in the non ice and snow areas of North America. It would probably be able to cross the whole continent and kill directly to South America.
"We have found Guam. With more effort, we will soon find the Hawaiian Islands." Liu Yan never doubted this: "once the Hawaiian Islands can be found, it is only a step forward from finding North America."
All said they were listening carefully, but I really couldn't understand why Liu Yan was so persistent in trying to find the North American continent. In the final analysis, Central Asia and South Asia have not been conquered. There is a Persian sassanne in West Asia. After solving the Persian sassanne, there is a Rome on the other side of the world.
Not to mention the countries on the world island, the Han country has not completely come out of the war trauma, and the Han people do not have 20 million full calculations. They are dissatisfied with the territory they currently occupy. It's nothing to say that they stare at the world island, but what's the matter with going to another continent!
Don't blame Liu Yan for being too persistent. That's what he received from his childhood living environment. At that time, no one knew that North America was a land of hegemony, but no one thought that the land of hegemony of Americans was not obtained in vain. They slaughtered more than 20 million Indians. They strengthened themselves and didn't forget the layout at the same time, Which of the neighboring countries is not slowly paralyzed over the years, or Mexico will rub on the ground under the pressure of the United States for a while.
There is no so-called land of hegemony. The British can develop from an island country into an empire with the sun never setting. Does the hegemony fall from the sky?
If the Zhuxia early removed the surrounding alien races, even if they could not, they would be paralyzed again and again, and they could maintain their absolute strength. The continent where the Zhuxia inhabited could also be the land of hegemony in North America.
"Therefore, I have repeatedly stressed the saying that if heaven does not take, it will be blamed." Can Liu Yan not know what the situation is now? He knew that the Han people were so small, and it was clear that no one would fill it up, but it did not prevent him from taking it as his own first: "when we think the time is right, it may not be ours."
Everyone shows thoughtful expression. They will have their own ideas, but it is undeniable that their ancestors can turn the surrounding land into their own without any difficulty, but why didn't they do it?
Liu Yan knew what they were thinking and gave the answer: "cultivated land."
That's right. Zhuxia took the initiative to send troops for cultivated land, and had no interest in any land that could not be turned into cultivated land.
"Now you think only arable land is useful?" Liu Yan did not mention the resources obtained from overseas: "just being able to plunder slaves is worth our use of troops."
"Your Majesty is holy." Sang Yu extremely agreed: "I heard that the expansion desire of Da Qin was to seek the source of slaves."
Rome? In a country where slaves are at least three times their own nation, sometimes more than 20 times exaggerated, a large part of their expansion is really to obtain labor, and resources are incidental.
Coincidentally, Africa was constantly devastated by Europa's white skin system. At the beginning, Europeans inherited Rome's legacy in order to obtain cheap labor.
The state of Han is extremely short of people now, okay! As long as you can get slaves, there is nothing you can't do. Liu Yan's fleet met more than ten fleets when he came here. Generally, they are engaged in the slave trade, but there are definitely ships specialized in transporting slaves in each fleet.
At present, there are not many places to provide slave capture business for the Han country. The Japanese islands are not one because of the active cooperation of local dignitaries. The plains of Yizhou and the deep mountains and forests in the Northeast are two small business places, and the Nanyang islands, Indochina Peninsula and A-San continent are the places of great business. At present, the largest source of slaves is the Indochina Peninsula, which will soon be replaced by the A3 continent.
"Your Majesty." Sang Yu thought of something very bad and suggested, "it is very necessary for the big man to expand the cutting industry."
Liu Yan nodded without any hesitation. He has always suspected that there are slaves all over the world. Don't come to a slave liberation movement at that time. As a result, the number of descendants of slaves far exceeds the number of Han people. It's very embarrassing. It's equal to that their cause has become a benefit to others.
What? Castration is inhumane? No one cares what age it is now, even genocide. Who will castrate slaves. To talk about humanity, do you want to recall the behaviors of white skin system to black skin system, and then talk about how tens of millions of Indians died?
When the fleet arrived in Malacca, what Liu Yan saw was a scene in full swing.
"Your Majesty." Fu Wei, the guide, has not finished his work and continues to perform his duties: "this is the Strait, and shore guns and fortresses are built on both sides according to the plan."
Look at who is sweating when the sun is low. One of them is a local Aboriginal. Their types of work have no technical content. They are nothing more than digging and carrying soil. It is Han people who use explosives to open mountains and Han people who start buildings.
"They..." Fu Wei thought about his words and tried hard to hide his dislike, but he couldn't do it: "those aborigines are too... Too stupid."
In fact, even if the locals are not stupid, the Han people will not let them come into contact with gunpowder. At the same time, in order to create Han jobs, building projects also hire Han people, which has nothing to do with the need for confidentiality.
To some extent, those aborigines also have to thank themselves for being stupid enough. For the sake of confidentiality, the Han government is not unable to kill all the people involved in the project. It has repeatedly considered that there is no need for confidentiality, and then the Han engineering team involved in the construction belongs to their compatriots. But if they were aborigines, they wouldn't be soft hearted.
The length of the Strait here is very long. In fact, there are some islands in the Strait. Some island chains around the Strait can be described as pleasing to the eye simply from the perspective of scenery.
Liu Yan had no idea of crossing the Strait. He had asked people to find an island suitable for vacation in advance and planned to comfort himself.
The island sought for the emperor's temporary stay is an island of about kilometers square. It has natural beaches in the north and East, but cliffs in the West and south. There are not many plants on the island. Of course, the most are coconut trees and shrubs. The rest are some common tropical trees, such as pineapple, banana and sugarcane.
The only high-altitude area on the island was opened with a passage about five meters wide. It was also specially leveled into a "Z" shape and extended upward. Directly above, a flat land was opened and filled to build a temporary palace.
At this moment, Liu Yan did not stay in the palace. He was fluttering in the shallow sea in a pair of underpants. He dived and floated. There were coral groups under the seabed. Under the sun, there were colorful coral reflections. Some unnamed fish swarmed around, and some spiral creatures could often be seen in the sand.
In fact, coral has to be cleaned to show its original color. Otherwise, it is actually covered by soil. It can be seen that it has been treated in advance.
When Liu Yan was diving, the surrounding area could not be empty. Yu Yi, who knows water, played with him nearby. Fu Wei, the guide, was also closer. At the same time, more than 50 sergeants with excellent water quality were on alert and on standby in the water. Some senior officials such as sang Yu stayed on board the ship not far away.
In fact, the surrounding ships are also full. If the water depth is larger, it is naturally impossible to drive into the shallow water area. However, Pangpang simply surrounds the periphery, and the nearest one is a small boat. It can be seen that there is no time to be alone to a certain extent.
Liu Yan has long been able to ignore the existence of the guard. If he cares... There is nothing he can do. Anyway, no matter what time or place, there will always be people around him. It's not that he likes to pretend to be forced, or some people pretend to be forced. It's a necessary standard configuration.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring my concubines." Liu Yan felt that he had enough to get on the boat. He was waited on and washed with water. He had sat down and tasted sashimi: "next time, you must bring it. You should also bring your wife and children."
Sashimi is a salmon caught by the garrison first. It's useless to come to such a place without eating sashimi made of salmon.
Yu Yi is eating sugarcane. He likes this kind of thing very much. Yu's family has a cultivated sugarcane garden on the Indochina Peninsula. Every year, he sends some to the local area for him. Many families, including the Yu family, are engaged in reclaiming sugarcane gardens and then producing sugar.
Everyone who is qualified to be in the same boat with Liu Yan nods, but if they want to say that they all feel comfortable, it's nonsense. For example, sang Yu can't control his tears several times. It's not moving or excited. The sun is so dazzling that his eyes can't stand it!!!
