In fact, the Huaxia Dynasty has been trying to expand continuously for thousands of years, until it was limited by various factors such as ancient transportation, communication, and medical care, and there was no way to expand. This is the stop.

But now, after railways, ships, and wired telegraphy make distance and geographical environment no longer an obstacle, the Chinese people's external expansion cannot be stopped.

And this kind of thing is not because of the special circumstances of the Tang Empire, or because of Li Xuan's own ideas. In fact, it is replaced by another dynasty, another indigenous emperor, as long as the technology is in place, then it is doomed. to expand externally.

Datang just caught up with the good time!

Therefore, the pace of expansion of Datang will not stop, and will continue to expand until it cannot expand.

The Mughal Dynasty, the Safi Dynasty and even the Ottoman Dynasty are the future expansion goals of the Tang Empire, and no one is an exception.

The people of the Tang Dynasty knew it, and so did the people of these three dynasties.

However, the reason why there are no large-scale wars in these three directions is that in recent years, the main energy of the Tang Dynasty is still on the Tatars, and part of the energy is on the South China Sea and the Americas. , Africa, India and other regions to expand.

For example, the third Indian campaign in India represented the continued expansion of the empire in the Indian peninsula. Now the area of ​​the Indian peninsula controlled by the empire is actually quite large, and several overseas territories such as Gehe state add up to about the same. There are 300,000 square kilometers, and there are still several large colonies that have only established colonial yamen, but have not been directly incorporated into the colonies of overseas territories, which add up to a total area of ​​nearly 700,000 to 800,000 square kilometers.

After the end of the third Indian campaign, it is estimated that a colony of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers will be added. If it is fought a few more times, it is estimated that the entire Indian peninsula will almost be brought into colonial rule.

However, it is only limited to colonial rule. If it is directly ruled in the form of overseas territories, it is still too difficult, and you have to take it slowly.

The expansion policy of India is a combination of overseas territories and colonies, and in Africa, it is expected to follow the same approach.

Because both places have the same feature, that is, a large population!

The Datang Empire has always disliked places with large populations. Instead, they prefer places with few people, preferably a barren place, such as the Americas.

The people of the Tang Dynasty liked it very much. The total population of these places is not large. Because the population of the American colonies is not large enough, the Spaniards have begun to introduce African indigenous and Indian indigenous and Southeast Asian indigenous people on a large scale.

In short, they all want labor!

Under this policy, the expansion of the empire to Africa is mainly concentrated in South Africa, because although the area of ​​this place is also large, it is estimated to be about one million square kilometers, but the area can be controlled at last, and it can also be used in the future. In this way, the local indigenous people migrate away. For example, recently the Spaniards especially like to go to South Africa to transport a large number of indigenous people.

Because Datang people promised the delivery fee!

The localization of South Africa is already an established policy, but in other places, it is mainly to occupy some of the essence of the coastal areas, and then to engage in colonial rule and the like.

This is also the reason why the Empire bought the West African coast colonies from the Portuguese.

Now the Empire is negotiating with Spain and Portugal about the purchase of colonies on the west coast of Africa. The two sides have been talking for a while. In principle, one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell.

But they couldn't agree on the price. The Spaniards or the Portuguese wanted to sell it for a big price, and they said ten million Tang yuan.

The Empire will not be a good son. People from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only offered a price of one million Tang Yuan, and this one million Tang Yuan also includes other regions, such as the Azov Islands, or the islands of Cuba in the Caribbean Sea.

In recent years, the Empire has been very interested in many islands in the Caribbean Sea, but unfortunately it came too late, these places were occupied by the Spaniards.

But these places, the Spaniards or the Portuguese will not give up easily.

So it stuck like that.

But this stalemate did not last long. The Tatars put more and more pressure on the Spaniards and the French. Without the support of the empire, how long the Spaniards can support is a problem.

Therefore, in October of the 36th year of Xuanping, Spain finally succumbed. Even if the Portuguese within them still strongly opposed it, the Hasburg Dynasty, which had already annexed the Portuguese, still agreed to the final conditions proposed by the Tang Empire. .

All the colonies on the west coast of Africa controlled by the Portuguese and their Spaniards, whether on the coast or on the islands, were all sold to the Tang Dynasty.

And this land transaction is not limited to Africa~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It also includes several colonial points of the Parana River in southeastern South America and the mouth of the San Francisco River in Brazil Colonial points in the area, and then several colonial ports on the island of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea

This land transaction does not just refer to several colonial ports in the above-mentioned areas. In fact, it also comes with a large area of ​​colonial rights and agreements such as the division of spheres of influence.

According to this land purchase agreement, Datang will gain the expansion power of the entire African continent.

Spain and the Portuguese are no longer allowed to meddle in African affairs.

In South America, Datang will gain the right to expand in the southeastern region of South America, roughly the area of ​​Argentina and Uruguay in later generations.

In addition to the above-mentioned colonial transactions, Spain also unified Datang to build a canal in Panama, and Datang will have land ownership on both sides of the canal for 20 kilometers.

How much did the Spanish and Portuguese sell the above-mentioned areas and their accompanying colonial interests?

A total of 3.6 million Tang Yuan!

This amount of money is a huge sum for the Spaniards, at least the Spaniards are quite satisfied with this figure and think that these colonies have been sold for a good price.

Even many Spaniards felt that this time they finally cheated the Datang people and sold these worthless colonies for a sky-high price.

But for Datang, in fact, this amount of money is the money of a half-battleship.

Even many large corporations make more than this figure in a year!

Before the split of Royal Petroleum Corporation, the profit in a quarter was tens of millions. Even after the split, its annual profit could reach seven or eight million.

From this figure, we can actually see the huge gap between today's Datang and other countries.

More importantly, Datang did not have to actually pay the money at all.
