Chapter 384: War Restarts
After inspecting the northern rural areas of Germany, the Korean and Japanese delegations also followed the principle of “since they were already here, they were already here”.

I returned to the French region and then went to the north of Africa for an exploration.

Of course!
Strictly speaking, a vassal’s vassal is not considered one’s own vassal.

Strictly speaking, North Africa can only be regarded as a vassal of Chola, so in terms of relationship, it is still quite far away from the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention Korea and Japan, there may not be any feelings at all.

but……

After all, they are all descendants of Zhao Xin.

Since they were already here, we might as well treat them well. At the same time, we also talked with the local emperor about the ownership of Sweden, Finland and other places.

The African emperor currently has little interest in Sweden and Finland.

But our ancestors said that England must be theirs.

Therefore, I also exchanged views with the other party.

As long as the other party does not involve England, they don’t have any big objections.

Anyway…

This place is too far away, and they may not have the ability to control it.

However, in order to invade Sweden and Finland, they must first take the route from England and the northern seaport of France. For this reason, the two sides exchanged opinions on when to completely conquer England.

Anyway…

What this means is that it would be best to defeat England as quickly as possible.

Considering that these people cannot be allowed to give up the places designated by their ancestors to be taken, Africa has to start deployment.

in fact……

Africa now controls some of England’s ports.

There is also some military cooperation with France.

It can be seen as the formation of an anti-England military alliance.

However, there were not many of them in Africa, after all, they were all immigrants. Moreover, they had not yet fully mastered Spain and Portugal. Therefore, they naturally did not continue to go deeper into the inland areas of England.

But now that Goryeo and Japan have this need, they can only see if they can try their best to clear as many obstacles as possible at sea for their allies.

can only say……

Let’s try to attack inland later.

After the negotiations in Africa were concluded, the Korean and Japanese delegations split into two groups. One group returned to Korea and Japan along the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea to report back.

Another group of people crossed the Atlantic Ocean to America to take another look.

at this time……

Perhaps due to the American trade routes, the northern region of Africa seems to be becoming somewhat lively.

Of course!
This kind of excitement is limited, and you can only see merchants coming from America.

Then, this group of people who wanted to go to America followed the merchants from America and went to America together. They just followed each other and were not likely to get lost.

And along the way…

It can’t be said that there is no danger.

But overall, it was a safe escape.

The strong wind and waves did not knock down their ship.

When we arrived in America, we met the local natives. Some of them looked quite similar to the yellow people.

The envoys from Goryeo and Japan were also envious of this vast land, which was mostly plains suitable for farming.

This is simply the chosen place!

Anyone who comes to this vast piece of land will probably drool.

And just like in Australia, people here never have to worry about food.

They even had a lot of grain, which was used to raise chickens and pigs, but to food-scarce Goryeo, especially Japan, this was simply a waste of resources.

Yes!

Japan is so poor that they can only eat fish, but what about this?
It is no exaggeration to say that even ordinary people can eat pork many times a month.

can only say……

I’m late!
Logically speaking, why didn’t they think of coming here earlier to grab a seat?
Another eight years passed since then.

Two thousand ships, carrying all kinds of property and people, arrived in Africa again.

The fleet was so large and mighty that even the African emperor, who had seen a lot of the world, couldn’t help but be secretly astonished.

But I know that they went to cold and bitter places like Sweden and Finland.

That didn’t say anything.

As long as they don’t come to Africa to compete with them for territory, it’s fine.

of course!

In fact, the succession to the throne of each country is not completely smooth.

For example, when the Goryeo and Japanese fleets arrived in Africa, the old emperor of Africa had already passed away and was replaced by a new emperor.

The new emperor actually came to power through a coup.

The good thing is that, although there was an internal coup, at least everyone still recognized the Chola and the orthodox Chinese tradition.

and……

After the coup, letters will be sent to the Song Dynasty and Chola in an attempt to gain recognition from them.

However, due to the coup, the matter in England was naturally delayed.

The new emperor of Africa also informed those who came from Goryeo and Japan about this matter.

of course!

He certainly would not mention his own coup d’état, but only said that due to the death of the previous emperor, the conquest of England had not been completely completed.

but……

It doesn’t matter, it’s just a one-time thing anyway.

They could easily lead the way for their fleet and all they had to do was cross that section of the strait.

and……

Due to the lack of ports, in fact, England does not have a very strong navy, at most it just has some small minions.

The princes of Goryeo and Japan could only accept such an arrangement.

This time, they brought nearly 200,000 people with them.

There are young men and women.

This is an extra layer of security, which is good.

After crossing the English Channel, these 200,000 people will first settle down in northern Germany.

after that……

Only then will we advance further north.

On the German side, they also built some castles and towns along the rivers.

There are 200,000 people, of which 50,000 to 60,000 are soldiers

Be reasonable!
The German ministers are quite worried about these people. What would happen if they suddenly went crazy and attacked them?
of course!

Seeing that these people didn’t seem to be very brave, I slowly let it go.

Anyway…

When the climate warms up, these 50,000 to 60,000 people will go out to fight.

What was weighing heavily on Germany at this time was the supply of food for these people.

Fortunately, Germany’s agricultural technology has made great progress over the years.

If it were a few decades ago, I guess we wouldn’t even have enough to eat.

Waited until the next year.

The weather is getting warmer.

These 50,000 to 60,000 people boarded ships and landed in Sweden.

Sweden had also heard the news a long time ago.

After all, there are two thousand ships, it is impossible to hide them.

Nordic pirates also often appear in this sea area, and they can find out how many people you have stationed here in just two or three moves.

not to mention……

These Nordic pirates would often go south to plunder because their food and living conditions were not very good.

therefore……

The two sides soon engaged in battle in an open space outside a woods in Sweden.

It’s really intense!
But in general, the Nordic barbarians still don’t have much advantage.

After all, when the other side was still using cold weapons, Goryeo and Japan had already completed the revolution of musket infantry.

If the Nordic barbarians had a lot of cavalry, the outcome might be unpredictable.

But if they only have a majority of infantry and very few cavalry, then they have no chance of winning at all.

Moreover, Korea and Japan had an absolute advantage in military strength, fighting against the enemy with less than 20,000 men. The Swedish and Finnish coalition forces almost destroyed their country on the first day of the battle.

Now Sweden and Finland are no longer pretending.

If you can’t win, surrender.

Try to corrupt these aliens over time.

However, Goryeo and Japan have already deeply understood the problem of how difficult it is to govern when people of different races live together. Therefore, they will kill those who need to be killed and will never accept surrender.

but……

So that the war can be fought more easily.

They would pretend to accept the other side’s surrender, and then wait for the other side’s king to come out, and then kill the other side’s king and their nobles together.

This method can only be described as evil and treacherous.

After killing the other side’s king and nobles, the princes of the two countries began to divide the land.

To be honest, it’s really hard to tell the difference.

The main thing is that no matter how you divide it, it is hard to say that it can be divided evenly.

And their current understanding of this land is not very deep.

The only option is to send people to various places to conduct exploration first, and then discuss it.

See who wants what place first.

We will then coordinate any disputes that arise.

At present, there is no need to turn against each other.

After all, this place is so big, it’s not necessary.

But if the division is not done well, in the future, maybe when development is restricted, we will still have to fight.

of course!

That will probably be several decades later.

soon……

Everyone unanimously chose the coastal areas as their development location.

And the location should be closer to the south.

Because this will make it more convenient for them to do business with continental Europe.

At the same time, if the latitude is lower, the temperature may be higher.

Although the difference is not really that big.

As for the rest, if there are still some resistance forces in this area…

All I can say is that everyone should solve it on their own.

While Goryeo and Japan quickly settled in Sweden and Finland, the Song Dynasty continued to send a large number of people to America.

and……

This time it’s not just about transporting the poor people.

They also had to send in some descendants of officials, or branches of the Zhao family.

If we don’t do this, all these people will have to be supported by the court in the future.

That being the case…

It would be better to send them all away.

Considering that there are far fewer people in America than in Australia, the basic distribution ratio is two to one or even three to one.

After getting rid of a lot of “burdens” at once, the Song Dynasty immediately lost weight.

The pressure at home seemed to have lessened without anyone noticing.

only……

The place where the population is imported will be hit by chaos.

Fortunately, the place is big enough, so there is no need to worry about running out of land to divide.

A large number of roads, states, counties, and villages have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

As for Constantinople…

The war on the northern coast of the Black Sea was, of course, also going very well.

Many Eastern Slavs were captured and used as slaves.

Moreover, they captured and controlled Kyiv.

only……

Be reasonable!
This is not helpful!
Because the East European Plain is so huge.

It was simply impossible for Constantinople to control such a large area.

After Kiev was attacked, many Eastern Slavs fled to the Moscow area.

As for Constantinople, it can only be said that it is good enough to be able to gain a foothold in Kiev.

The key point of this war was that the uneven distribution of spoils led to a rift between Constantinople and Khwarezm.

Over the years, Khwarezm has been researching muskets and cannons.

Through their disdainful research, they finally got some clues.

Because they are closer to the Western Regions, they can get more information about the Song Dynasty’s technology from the Song Dynasty.

Although they still could not make guns and cannons very well, they had generally understood that those guns and cannons were all related to the gunpowder of the Song Dynasty.

even……

They were also able to smuggle gunpowder from the Song Dynasty.

you know!
As long as you have money, you can buy anything you want.

But now, the amount of gunpowder they can obtain is very small.

It was impossible for the Song Dynasty to directly sell them finished guns and cannons.

and so……

Even if they could buy gunpowder now, at best they would just hear a noise.

It’s okay to set off firecrackers during festivals and make a noise, but you want to use this thing to kill the enemy?
Don’t even think about it!
But now, they are also working hard to study this thing.

Without this thing, they would have no chance of defeating the Song Dynasty or Constantinople.

Even with muskets and cannons.

Ultimately it all depends on production.

Now we can only take it slowly.

If this generation doesn’t work, then the next generation will.

sooner or later……

As they continued their research and used money offensives, they were eventually able to obtain some of the Song Dynasty’s technology.

even……

It is not completely impossible to eventually achieve self-production.

only……

Before that, they need to keep it secret and keep a low profile.

However, some people have already suggested to Constantinople that Khwarezm should be destroyed.

Because seeing that Khwarezm cooperated with them in the battle this time, it was obvious that they did not obey their orders very much.

to be frank!
Constantinople must have considered something like this.

The only problem is…

These people cannot be killed.

If you kill him, who will guard him?

We will still have to send people to guard it when the time comes.

The key point is that the land of Khwarezm is not a good piece of land.

Not many people want to go.

But considering that Khwarezm continues to multiply like this, it is indeed a threat.

therefore……

Constantinople did have the idea of ​​destroying the other side.

Nowadays, all we really need is an excuse.

After that, Constantinople sent envoys.

Exactly!

Then they discovered that the other side was firing cannons.

To be precise, it is the study of firearms.

The blast of a firearm cannot be hidden.

You can hear it even from a long distance away.
