Before we knew it, a vigorous colonial movement began at the same time in the Great Zhou, Eastern Song and Western Song dynasties.

This is a large colonial movement that will surely change the world's political territory and ethnic structure. It is also the Chinese nation quietly dividing the world while the West and the Middle East are still in ignorance...

In this future of time and space, it is unlikely that the legend of Chinese farmers relocating and unwilling to migrate is heard. Because no one will ever ask them if they are willing or not!

Colonial expansion was never dominated by peasants, and in most cases, they were forced to participate.

It’s your turn, it’s impossible not to go!

If it is still time to go, it means that the country or regime does not have enough ability to organize a colonial movement.

So the blame should be for the ruler, not for the farmers who have moved back to the country.

Lingzhou, Lingwu County.

I don’t know what happened these days. From time to time, there are groups of knights passing by on the official road leading to Lingwu County!

The merchants and farmers who farm on both sides of the official roads were busy and had to bow down and salute the knights.

However, the men seemed to be in a bad mood during this period and were not interested in looking at the little people on the roadside. They just rode their horses and talked about something that made them uneasy but also a little longing for - transfer!

The imperial edict of the Chang'an Privy Council arrived in Lingwu County a few days ago and conveyed the imperial edict to the lord of Lingzhou Gao Yaokang.

The fief of Lingzhou will be taken back!

As compensation, Gao Yaokang and the Lingzhou army could occupy a rich land in the Hezhong area, which is now part of the Western Liao Dynasty.

At the same time, the Chang'an court would send an invincible iron army to help the Lingzhou army and the Xiliang Kingdom, which received the order to transfer the seal together to capture the territory used for transfer the seal.

In other words, the knights and men in Lingzhou must hand over the existing manor, and then organize a group of armed farmers, bring their families, cattle and horses, farm tools, seeds, and other means of production, travel thousands of miles to other countries to make another fiefdom...

This is not a transshipment place, it is simply confiscated!

However, in the face of such a confiscated order, Gao Yaokang did not have the courage to resist.

Because the Lingzhou Army, which has a high degree of feudalization, is now supported by about 1,000 knight families. Even if fully mobilized, it will be 2,000 armored cavalry plus a corresponding number of auxiliary cavalry.

How could it be possible to resist the Western Song army equipped with field artillery and heavy muskets?

Besides, Gao Yaokang and the generals of the Lingzhou Army all know that the West is rich!

I also know that Yelu Dashi is now unable to protect the land of the river and the seven rivers.

Isn’t a rich and unparalleled land a wealth given by God?

How can you not get more money from heaven?

When we go to the West, the land of the Knights should be increased a lot, right? With more land, all kinds of troubles will be easily solved.

It has been almost 30 years since Gao Qiu founded the vassal state in Lingzhou. The second generation of cavalry have married and had children, so they have to worry about their sons' future.

If the land cannot be expanded, the heads of more than 1,000 knight families in Lingzhou will have to worry about the future of the three generations of cavalry and the four generations of cavalry.

At this moment, the will to transfer the seal came from Chang'an!

...

"Lord, more than 700 heads of families have arrived in Lingzhou."

In the mansion of Gao Yaokang, the leader of the Lingzhou Army, Li Yongqi, deputy general manager of the Lingzhou Army, was reporting the situation of the collection of the various families to his lord Gao Yaokang.

The territory of Lingzhou is not small. More than 1,000 knight families are scattered everywhere. It takes a lot of time to gather their heads together, so naturally some come first and then arrive.

"Oh, have you talked to them about the transfer of the seal?" Gao Yaokang is a "five-day" person this year. He has long been a grandfather and his son has a nest.

I have been worried about the heirs in recent years!

Although Lingzhou is not small, it is not very big, and it cannot accommodate a group of "little Gao Taiwei". So a group of sons are staring at dad's throne and pinching there. If it weren't for Xiliang and two big tigers in the Western Song Dynasty, the Lingzhou army might have had a civil war.

Therefore, Gao Yaokang did not object to the transfer of the Western Regions.

This is at least a way out!

The "they" he mentioned did not refer to the head of the knight family gathered in Lingzhou. Instead, it refers to Gao Yaokang's eight older sons.

They all studied military affairs with Li Yongqi, and were considered Li Yongqi's students. Moreover, Li Yongqi's attitude towards inheritance in Lingzhou Town was unrestrained and had no serious conflicts with them, so he was more able to speak.

"Lord, all the young masters hope to make contributions in the West!" Li Yongqi said, "The Western Regions are vast. With the skills of several young masters, it is possible to fight one state by one!"

Gao Qiu's grandchildren actually don't have much ability, they just look similar - they are all inherited from Gao Qiu! They all look pretty and look very similar.

But it’s nothing to have no ability, they have someone under them!

Among the 1,000 knight families in Lingzhou, there are many second and third generations who have no way out, all professional knights, and there are always capable people among them. They can always bring together an officer group for each of Gao Yaokang's eight sons!

The most difficult thing about training and fighting is to form a military group. Soldiers are always easy to recruit, but they can even pull them if they are not good enough. They can almost get the weapons and equipment. The only thing they can't get the right one is the officer.

As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!

An army cannot rely solely on one general, but must be supported by a large number of professional officers.

Therefore, warriors, knights or other military classes are very important for the maintenance of military power in a feudal country.

If there is no such class, or this class is completely corrupt, then the national defense of this feudal country will be very fragile!

The sudden collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty in history was largely caused by the corruption or disintegration of the military class after long-term emphasis on culture and over military forces.

In the original history, the rebel army in the late Northern Song Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of people, which shows that the people still supported the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty court did not have the corresponding number of professional officers to organize hundreds of thousands of people into a real army.

And in this time and space, the situation of the collapse of civil and military classes has been completely reversed.

Even in Lingzhou, two or three thousand knights can be easily pulled out as armored cavalry or officers.

According to the standard of 18 officers in the first battalion, 100 battalions can support it.

One hundred battalions are an army of 100,000! As long as you can perform your combat effectiveness normally, even if you meet the Jurchen cavalry that is at its peak in history, you will be able to win - a battalion, a chariot, a smoothbore gun, a field gun, and a spear formation! Even if the Jurchens can win, they will die in a battle of tens of thousands. If you win twice, you will be able to achieve the terrible death.

"Where are the people?" Gao Yaokang said, "Can you recruit enough military households?"

This time, the Lingzhou Army was going to transfer the seal to the Western Regions without Han people! Of course, we can't just bring knights or people.

Otherwise, more than 1,000 knights would not be able to get out of the Western Regions!

The people who followed the re-enforcement will be organized into so-called military households. Among them, the strong men will join the Lingzhou army, and women and children will also form teams to facilitate the protection of the army.

This is not a reblocking of more than 1,000 households, but a reblocking of twenty thousand households and thirty thousand households.

In history, the Mongol Empire's great feudalism and expansion, and the later Zhuming Dynasty quickly established strong rule across the country, and quickly included Yunnan, Yanyun, Liaodong, and Hexi, lands that had been free from the Central Plains dynasty for a long time, were controlled. In fact, the military-civilian system was integrated and well-organized.

"No problem," Li Yongqi smiled, "The people who have received the lord's kindness and are worried that they will not be able to repay the situation, so they will naturally join the army."

Gao Yaokang nodded and agreed, "What he said is... Joining the army to serve is also a way out! When they arrive in the Western Regions, they will become knights!"

...

"Old Head of State, here is the household registration book of 4,000 military households. Please check it out!"

"Old Head of State, these are the 4,000 households cut from Linhuang Mansion..."

In the summer resort, Xiao Gan, the prime minister of Daxi and Xiao Feng, the general manager of Linhuang Mansion, each brought several large boxes of household registration books to Wu Haogu's large study room.

These household registration books represent 8,000 military households, each with 5 households, with a total of 40,000 colonial pioneers.

It is similar to the way the Lingzhou army deals with the transfer of the seal. The method used by Wu Haogu to open up a new continent was also organized military households. However, it is not as high as 20,000, and only 8,000 households, and the number of people must be controlled. No old or weak should be allowed to accompany young people under 10 years old. Because these 8,000 households have to be sent to America by sea boats, the cost is extremely high, and they must not be used to transport useless people. And they cannot be allowed to get on board the boat and suffer the pain of wandering.

In addition, these 8,000 households did not directly cut the household registration of Daxi and Linhuang Mansions, but came from the separate households and newly established households, that is, five households that meet the conditions were divided from the original "big households" to form a colonial military household.

In addition, since these 8,000 households are called military households, they will naturally be divided into four levels: thousands, hundreds, fifty and ten households.

The eight thousand-household chiefs are all Wu Haogu's sons. Older ones will set out with you and climb the land of the New World.

Those who are younger will be appointed as agents by Wu Haogu. When they grow up, they will take over the Americas.

At the same time, the government of the Great Zhou Republic will also establish the Governor General of America to unify the command of all the thousands of households, chambers of commerce and Great Zhou troops that landed on the American continent.

The first governor of America would have Wu Haogu’s second son Wu Yi Nobu... Of course, this was the result of Wu Yijiu’s arrangement of operations.
