Lord Moyu was forced to open

Malaysian plantations in East Asia sprang up like mushrooms after a rain.

When the sugarcane of the first quarter had grown well, the Song Dynasty kept its promise and collected all of it without missing a single one.

Large numbers of merchant ships returned to the coast, loaded with sugarcane.

Then, under the organization of local governments, these sugarcanes were sent to sugar factories to produce bags of white sugar.

As soon as these white sugars were put on the market, they were loved by everyone. The sweet taste made everyone unable to stop eating them.

Various sugar-using businesses were previously unable to expand due to insufficient sugar production.

At this time, with the continuous output of the new sugar factory, the business scale expanded rapidly, allowing more people to eat their products.

Originally, the imperial court wanted to export the sugar, but in the end it found that the sugar produced in the first quarter was not enough for domestic consumption.

As a result, the local government immediately reported the situation to the imperial court, which then became more active in recruiting people to go to Malaysia and East Asia.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

Since one could earn so much money by growing sugarcane, some adventurous people still left their hometown and went to Malaysia and East Asia.

At this point, the most common item transported on merchant ships traveling between East Asia and the Song Dynasty was sugarcane!
After taking Ma to East Asia, the Song Dynasty immediately went to receive those exiled to the mainland.

From the moment they set foot on the Exiled Continent, this place became the source of minerals for the Song Dynasty.

The rich reserves here make the teachers of the newly opened geology class at Yunzhou University feel like they have entered a fairyland!

With the development of the Song Dynasty over the years, the demand for iron has been increasing.

However, there were only so many mineral deposits discovered. Even if more people were added, the ore that could be mined was still limited. This led to a great restriction on the iron smelting capacity of the Song Dynasty and also slowed down its development.

And the moment they were exiled to the continent and confirmed the mineral deposits there, shiploads of Sindhu and Japanese were sent here to mine!

With rich mineral resources and sufficient numbers of people, the Song Dynasty court immediately obtained countless minerals in the Exile Continent.

These ores were then shipped back to the Song Dynasty in shiploads, and various projects that the Song Dynasty had been preparing to scale back due to insufficient ore production capacity were immediately put into operation.

The development of the Song Dynasty, which had been almost stagnant, started moving frantically again.

All kinds of goods are being produced frantically, and domestic consumption of these goods is becoming increasingly saturated.

This led to a gradual slowdown in the economy, and eventually overcapacity problems emerged in the Song Dynasty.

There would naturally be no overcapacity in the Song Dynasty's best-selling products such as silk, tea, sugar, etc.

Even that isn't enough.

But for other things, the Song Dynasty has its own way of digesting and launching them.

So, under the impetus of various forces, the Song Dynasty's war machine started.

The first is the nearby Chengluo.

Originally, the crazy influx of goods from the Song Dynasty made the people of Chengluo very happy, but soon the Chengluo royal family discovered that all their money had been earned by the Song people.

So he took prompt action and immediately blocked the national border. Except for a small number of commodities, no other commodities from the Song Dynasty were allowed to enter the country.

This practice angered the Song Dynasty, which was continuing to look for dumping grounds.

Three days later, 50,000 Song troops marched from Pyu County.

Six days later, the heads of the Chengluo royal family were hung high on the city wall.

Soon after, Chengluo became a new county of the Song Dynasty. The emergence of a new county meant a lot of opportunities, and all aspects of the new county required a lot of materials. As a result, the merchants of the Song Dynasty immediately made a lot of money.

After tasting the sweetness, they discovered the benefits of expanding territory. Driven by interests, they turned their attention to the Luzon Islands.

The Song merchant caravan, holding guns in one hand and goods in the other, began to rush into the entire South China Sea islands in retired warships with more than 5,000 tons of cargo.

If you are willing to buy my things, then you are my good friend. If you are not willing to buy, you can even forbid my things from entering your land.

I'm sorry, but this land of yours belongs to me!
However, even if the entire Luzon Islands were taken, the production capacity that could be absorbed would be nothing but a drop in the bucket for the entire Song Dynasty.

The court and merchants immediately looked away.

At this time, the surrounding grasslands and the Turks who were not yet in the hands of the Song Dynasty came into view.

The various Turkic tribes were aware of the interests of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, at the beginning, they did not oppose the Song Dynasty's goods entering the Turkestan region. However, they gradually discovered that the more goods entered the Turkestan region, the more Turkic traitors would appear in the tribe.

They worship the Great Song Dynasty and they yearn for the Great Song Dynasty.

They even hope that they can join the Song Dynasty and become a part of it.

In their hearts, the Song Dynasty is like a beacon in the world, guiding people in the direction of progress.

Gradually, the entire Turkic tribe showed signs of being assimilated. In order to curb this situation, the then Turkic Khan, King Shunyi, immediately disregarded the friendly relations with the Song Dynasty and forcibly blocked the connection between the Turks and the Song Dynasty.

And they arrested those people in the tribe who spread the good news of the Song Dynasty.

But his action made Da Song, who had finally found a dumping ground, feel extremely uncomfortable, as if you were in the middle of something and about to reach the climax, but suddenly you were not allowed to move.

This immediately stopped working.

How terrifying an angry Song Dynasty was may have been forgotten by those who hadn’t seen the grassland for many years.

But on this day they once again remembered the former demon cavalry!
A full two hundred thousand cavalry!
Among them, 50,000 were heavy cavalry.

There were also soldiers from the Shenji Camp pushing artillery carts and holding rapid-fire incendiary rifles.

A total of 250,000 people entered the Turkic steppe.

From south to north!

Two hundred thousand people went straight over to kill!
When King Shunyi found out, he was also angry and felt that the Song Dynasty was too unreasonable.

So they immediately recruited 400,000 cavalrymen, and through the trade with the Song Dynasty over the years, they also obtained a lot of iron. Half of the cavalrymen were equipped with iron breastplates, etc., and could barely be considered half iron cavalrymen.

However, after the two sides engaged in battle, it took less than an hour for the 400,000 cavalrymen on the side of King Shunyi to be defeated.

Although the Song army only has iron cavalry, they have heavy cavalry and the Shenji Camp behind them!

In particular, one battalion in the Shenji Camp was equipped with a bursting fire rifle, which actually killed 20,000 cavalrymen in just two quarters of an hour!
Once the fire is opened, all the men and horses will be killed!

So, after half a day of chasing, Shunyi King Anda Khan had no choice but to surrender.

From then on, the grasslands surrounding the Song Dynasty completely belonged to the Song Dynasty!
The addition of the Turkic steppes immediately expanded the territory of the Song Dynasty by nearly a quarter!
