Chapter 183 Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty Yang Jian

The situation was just as Su Chen expected, after he finished talking about the situation on the two continents.

Ancient people from all dynasties have fallen into complete madness, and they are all cheering and clamoring to occupy it first.

The two continents are about the same size as China. They have a pleasant environment and are suitable for agricultural cultivation. They are also rich in mineral deposits. Various gold, silver, copper and iron ores are everywhere and are easy to mine. The most important thing is that no one has occupied them.

Just listening to the anchor's description, the ancients from all dynasties were already salivating and wanted to set off immediately to occupy these two continents.

Big man.

Liu Che: Don’t say anything anymore. Australia and the United States belong to the Han Dynasty. I will send troops to occupy them now.

As soon as the anchor explained the situation of the two continents, he knew that these two uninhabited lands belonged to the Han Dynasty, and they could only belong to the Han Dynasty.

It is suitable for agricultural cultivation and easy to mine mineral resources. The continent area is larger than that of the Han Dynasty, and there is no one occupying the continent. This is simply a gift from God to the Han Dynasty. If you don't take it, you will definitely be punished by God.

But one thing gave him a headache. Nowadays, the big man focused all his energy on the Xiongnu and had no extra thought to expand overseas.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to give up these two continents full of treasures.

The Xiongnu will attack with all the strength of the country, and they will also occupy two overseas treasure lands.

After thinking for a moment, he finally came up with a perfect solution.

He does not have the extra energy to expand overseas, but the various princes and kings in the country are suitable for occupying Australia and the United States.

He was uneasy about these princes and kings, always worried about their ambitions and rebellion, and needed to keep an eye on their every move.

And these princes and kings were also worried that he would eradicate them, and they lived in fear every day.

In this case, it would be better to send these princes and kings overseas to open up territories, which would be a relief for both parties.

He no longer has to keep an eye on these princes and kings, and these princes and kings no longer need to be in fear all day long.

In addition, when the princes and kings went to occupy the treasure land, the Han Dynasty could also obtain countless gold and silver treasures.

He was satisfied just thinking about the wonderful things that could be accomplished with one stone.

Datang.

Li Shimin: OK! good! good! Since this is no man's land, I will accept it without any hesitation.

If the Tang Dynasty did not occupy these two fertile continents, it would be a waste of natural resources and they would be struck by lightning.

He looked for Australia on the world map and saw Australia below the Tang Dynasty at a glance.

He took a closer look and found that there were densely packed small icons on Australia, all kinds of them.

This shows that Australia is very rich in mineral deposits, including gold mines, silver mines, iron mines, copper mines, etc., which can be said to be countless.

Moreover, he looked at the route from Datang to Australia. It had to pass through many broken islands, which was extremely convenient for large ships to dock and help the court send large numbers of personnel to Australia.

He thought deeply in his mind and planned the matters related to going to Australia.

Two fertile lands, it is much easier to capture Australia, and people can be sent there immediately.

But the United States is not easy to deal with. Although the area is much larger than Australia, it is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, separated by the vast Pacific Ocean.

Although there is a world map for guidance, it is a hundred times more difficult to send people by ship across the Pacific Ocean to the United States than to Australia.

It seems that the current top priority is still to be placed on Australia. As for the distant United States, one or two ships can be sent to explore the way first, and then occupy the United States when the time is ripe.

However, as important as occupying Australia, we must first explore the mineral deposits in Datang.

Thinking of this, he carefully looked at the location of Datang on the world map in front of him. Mineral resources across the country were all on it.

Although it seems that there are a lot of mineral resources, whether it can be utilized will not be known until someone is sent to explore.

He was not too worried. After all, the mineral resources were so abundant that even if many of them could not be developed, only a small part of the mineral resources could be exploited, which would be enough to keep the Tang Dynasty wealthy for thousands of years.

Ming dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong: The Ming Dynasty is now unable to protect itself, and Chongzhen is busy dealing with domestic crises, so I will swallow this piece of fat Australia without mercy.

As the largest pirate along the southeast coast, he has always wanted to find a safe and reliable base camp.

After all, if there is no base camp, then he can only float on the sea without a destination, which is something he does not want to see.

His main battlefield is at sea, and only at sea can he be fearless of any force.

It was precisely because of this that he did not build his base camp in the Ming Dynasty, fearing that the Ming Dynasty would take the blame.

But now, with a God-given opportunity, he finally found the ideal base camp.

He set his sights on the location of Australia on the huge world map in front of him, which was the base camp chosen by Zheng Zhilong.

In addition to using Australia as his base camp, he also has greater ambitions in mind.

Before, he had always hoped to be recruited by the imperial court and become a feudal official.

But now that he has a map of the world and a base camp in Australia, he doesn't care about the official position in the court at all.

Rather than working as an official in the Ming Dynasty and being restricted by the imperial court, it would be better to go to Australia to expand territory and establish himself as king.

As the overlord of the sea, Zheng Zhilong has 200,000 troops under his command, enough to turn Australia into his own kingdom. No one dares to compete with him.

Moreover, Australia has far better advantages than the Ming Dynasty. The climate is pleasant, suitable for agricultural cultivation, various mineral resources are easy to mine, the wealth is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty, and there is not so much chaos.

In less than ten years, he can turn Australia into a wealthy kingdom with a population of over one million.

Relying on Australia's advantages, in time, the dynasty he established will surpass the Ming Dynasty.

When he thought that Zheng Zhilong could also become a founding king, he was so excited that he could not wait to lead 200,000 troops to seize Australia now.

Qing.

Qianlong: So according to what the anchor said, Australia and the United States have been occupied by people in my era, and there is no such thing as the Qing Dynasty.

The anchor just said that China's strength was the strongest in the world before the Qing Dynasty. The implication is that the strength of the Qing Dynasty has completely lagged behind overseas countries, especially those in the West.

This sentence had a big impact on him. He wanted to deny it, but he knew that what the anchor said was indeed the truth.

Some sporadic information can be obtained from the video played on the screen before. They were defeated by the Western powers in the late Qing Dynasty, so the anchor's words were not wrong.

Looking at the world map in his hand, he couldn't help but be stunned and felt very uncomfortable.

If this world map is placed in other dynasties, it will definitely be of maximum value, and it will be able to plunder all kinds of mineral deposits overseas.

But the value of the world map to the Qing Dynasty will be greatly reduced, and it is far less valuable than other dynasties.

The reason is very simple. Overseas countries have been occupied by Western powers, and their Qing Dynasty simply does not have the strength to intervene.

Although I am very reluctant, I have to accept this fact. But the only good thing is that there are various mineral deposits in the Qing Dynasty.

He immediately ordered He Shen to explore these mineral deposits and find out which mineral deposits could be mined and utilized.

The ancients from various dynasties who had grabbed the world map were still thinking about how to make the best use of the map. Su Chen coughed and drew everyone's attention back.

"Okay, the map has been sold out, now is our last lottery draw tonight."

"Everyone, get ready, the lottery is about to begin, let's see who is the lucky winner."

The moment the red envelope came out in the live broadcast room, ancient people from all over the world rushed to grab it.

"Congratulations to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, for grabbing the red envelope. The product is a bicycle."

The lucky one was Yang Jian. Su Chen was quite surprised. It seemed that he rarely saw Yang Jian posting barrages and was not very impressed by this person.

However, he remembered clearly that there was a video about selecting the emperor of the ages. Among the six emperors of the ages was Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

Except for Ying Zheng, Liu Che, and Li Shimin, the other three emperors throughout the ages are more or less controversial.

Although there is controversy, the fact that Yang Jian was selected as the first emperor through the ages can still prove that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was a good emperor.

"I wonder what His Majesty Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty wants to know?"

Yang Jian didn't expect that he would be so lucky to get a red envelope, and he didn't think about what questions to ask.

But he also knew that this opportunity was rare and he couldn't miss it. After a while, he finally thought of it.

Yang Jian: I want to know what happened to me later?

"Okay, the anchor knows. I will tell His Majesty Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty the answer tomorrow."

"That's it for tonight's live broadcast. I promised to show you the video related to the imperial examination system tomorrow morning. Emperors of various dynasties can pay attention to it, especially the emperors of the dynasties before the Sui Dynasty."

"Okay, it's getting late, the anchor is going to go off the air, good night everyone!"

After Su Chen turned off the live broadcast, the sky immediately went out and became pitch black.

Great Song.

After the live broadcast ended, the Yang family was full of joy and excitement.

The reason for being so happy is simple. Yang Fa, the head of the Yang family, grabbed a world map.

As the largest maritime merchant in the Song Dynasty, now that they have a world map, it is even more powerful for the Yang family.

The happiest person is Yang Fa, the head of the family. He didn't expect that he was so lucky that he actually got it.

Originally, he thought that if no one from the Yang family could grab the world map, he would find a way to get a world map anyway, but now it seems that there is no need.

Looking at the world map covering the entire yard, everyone in the Yang family, men, women and children were extremely excited.

Because everyone in the Yang family knows that with the world map, their Yang family's maritime trade will develop by leaps and bounds.

With the world map in hand, the Yang family can not only open up new routes to all parts of the world, but more importantly, they can mine gold and silver mines overseas.

Whether it is opening up new routes or mining gold and silver mines, they can make the Yang family rich and powerful, soaring into the sky.

As long as they develop well, their Yang family can even grow into the first family in the Song Dynasty.

When Yang Fa thought of this, his blood boiled and his face flushed.

But now is not the time to think about these things. We need to make arrangements quickly to avoid others taking the lead.

After all, he was not the only one to grab the world map in the entire Song Dynasty, there were probably thousands of people who also grabbed the world map.

Yang Lin: Brother, look at this island in Indonesia. There are three silver mines on it. I want to take people to explore the situation and see if they can be mined.

Yang Fa looked in the direction pointed by his second brother, and sure enough, there were three silver mines on the small island.

As for the country of Indonesia, the Yang family, as large merchants, naturally had dealings with it.

Indonesia is a country with many islands. It is known as the country of a thousand islands. I am afraid that the country itself does not know exactly how many islands there are.

As someone who often dealt with countries in the Southeast Asian region, he clearly remembered that a large area near the Silver Mine Island was uninhabited, which meant that the Yang family could quietly land on the island to investigate the situation.

Yang Fa: That's good, but if you find that you can't mine it after you go there, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

Yang Lin: Brother, this is easy. I will find a painter to copy the map of the Nanyang area later. If the three silver mines on this island cannot be mined, then I will look for other mineral deposits nearby that can be mined.

Yang Fa thought for a moment and felt that this method was feasible.

The Yang family is very familiar with Nanyang and has many contacts in various countries in Nanyang that they can use.

If the second brother went to Nanyang to explore mineral deposits, he would not be too worried.

He also knew that time was running out and he had to seize the opportunity before others to avoid being taken advantage of by other forces.

There were hundreds of maritime merchants in the Song Dynasty. It was hard to guarantee that they would not get a world map and then make plans to travel to Nanyang.

After all, after looking at the entire world map, the most suitable place for exploring mineral deposits outside the Song Dynasty is the Nanyang area.

Other places are either too remote, unfamiliar or too risky.

Therefore, the Nanyang area will inevitably be the focus of competition for all forces.

They dare not even think about the mineral resources in the Song Dynasty. They will inevitably be controlled by the officials.

As for Australia and the United States, which the anchor mainly mentioned, they are simply not within their reach.

The United States is too far away and the danger is great. It is far better to go to Southeast Asia.

As for Australia, the Yang family also wants to go, after all, it is a large piece of attractive fat.

But you don’t need to think about it to know that the government will definitely monopolize Australia and will not let others get a share of the pie.

After much deliberation, going to Nanyang is the most suitable place for the Yang family.

Yang Fa: Second brother, then this task will be left to you. When do you plan to set off, eldest brother should prepare early.

Yang Lin: Brother, it’s not too late, the sooner the better, we’ll set off tomorrow afternoon.

When Yang Fa heard this, he was shocked and felt that it was too fast.

But he soon understood his second brother's intention, and he had to get ahead of other forces to avoid others taking the lead.

Yang Fa nodded and agreed to his second brother's request.

After discussing the departure time, Yang Fa began to arrange relevant matters.
