Hunting (7)

When the lord of Gelang Island, Ha Zhigedang, led his troops to rob the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty, he did make some preparations. He knew that Da Song might retaliate, but he didn't expect that Da Song's revenge would come so quickly and so violently.

After salvaging the shipwreck of the Great Song Dynasty, Ha Gedang divided the spoils into several parts according to the instructions of the Mongol envoys. Give one to each of the Tu kings of Java and ask them to send troops to help. At the same time, according to the teachings of the Mongol envoys, hundreds of improvised bed crossbows were erected on the hills around the port, and more than 3,000 slave soldiers were sent to operate them.

According to the assumption of the Mongolian envoys, once the Great Song warships approached, the long bamboo poles lit with fire shot by these hundreds of bed crossbows could make the Great Song warships die without a place to be buried.

The envoy also swore that if Ha Gedang repelled the Great Song fleet, the Great Khan of Mengyuan would be crowned King of the South China Sea, replacing the position of King Ha Gedanaga, the king of Java, and even bringing all the coastal countries under his jurisdiction!

Hachigdang prepared everything with confidence. He thinks that he sees the situation in the world very clearly, Yuan is strong and Song is weak, so clinging to the strong behind the weak is the only way for a small country to survive. Consumed by the desire for profit, he forgot a very important matter. Yuan Qiang, but it is too far away from the South Seas. Song was weak, but Nanyang was within the patrol range of his fleet.

After the defeat and dissolution of the fleet, the Breaker Navy once again approached Port Grand. The bed crossbows scattered on the nearby hill were simultaneously powerful, and hundreds of bamboo poles with fire at the tips rushed towards the fleet like festive flowers.

The Great Song battleship made a deft arc and threw most of the ceremonial flowers into the sea. The few that hit their target were sprayed into embers by the water dragons that rose up before they could burn.

Without waiting for the crossbow team to launch a second round of strikes, Du Hu decisively ordered the fleet to soar away. Then he quickly made a circle on the sea, lined up in a horizontal line, and the side sides were aimed at the mound.

After three rounds of rapid fire, the mound was covered in smoke and flames. The slave soldiers, who had never seen artillery, rushed out of the flames with their heads in their hands.

Du Hu smiled slightly, ignored the remnants of the defeated soldiers on the mound, and approached the port again, across the waterway, and named the battleships crowded in the harbor one by one.

More than 170 Nanyang warships that fled back to the harbor sank one after another. Those stunned sailors of the South Seas did not even have the courage to flee for their lives by boat. I watched as the flames engulfed my companions, and watched as the Great Song warship aimed the windows of the two rows of black holes on the side at itself.

"Ahh The commander of a battleship could not bear such pressure, swung an axe, and cut off his own mainmast. The wooden sail was heavily planted in the sea, setting off a wave of waves.

As if he understood the meaning of the broken mast, the Great Song guns aimed at this battleship turned in unison and aimed at the next Nanyang warship. Without waiting for the Great Song fleet to open fire, the Nanyang warship, which could not understand the Great Song flag and the other party's orders, immediately cut off its own mast.

One by one, the masts fell, and under the noses of King Ha Gedanagar of Java and King of Gran Ha Ge Gedang, they betrayed their enemies.

Ha Ge Danaga and Ha Ge were so angry that they trembled, gathered the troops on the shore, and prepared to attack the arrogant Song people at the right time. To their sorrow, the troops brought by the kings were scattered, and less than 7,000 of the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses remained around the port, and the rest had already followed their respective kings to find a way to escape, and no one was willing to stay and live with Grandshire.

"You see, Gedang, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in staying here. It's better for you to stay behind, and I will take most of my troops and horses to the next line of defense to prepare. Ha Ge Dana Thorn apologized very deeply to Ha Ge Dana, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he took his son-in-law Tuhan and others and ran to the back of the island.

"No righteousness! No courage! Ha Ge Dan scolded loudly at Ha Ge Danaga, and for a while, he actually forgot who was planning to seize the throne of the other party in his dream last night, and who recruited more soldiers than the king of Java as a vassal.

Under the advice of his personal guards and Mongol envoys, Ha Gedang also gave up the battle for the port. The Great Song sailors had already begun to lay down the boat and prepare to land. If you are too late, you will have to be captured alive. With the idea of staying in the green mountains and not being afraid of running out of firewood, Ha Gedang fled to another port behind the island. Here, he hid more than two dozen small boats, enough to keep the Mongol envoy and his cronies out of danger.

Before he could go to sea, he knew that he was wrong again.

The sea currents around Gran Island are gentle and the shore is uneven, and many places can be used as temporary ports. The kings who came to "help" were not stupid, and they all left a few ships for emergency purposes. As a result, the sea behind the island was covered with small boats, but none of them could go far.

In the distant sunset, several more ships smoked and sank into the sea. The scene is very similar to the scene where the battleship was sunk in the harbor in front of him.

Farther away, more than 70 sailing boats of various sizes divided into a dozen teams and patrolled back and forth. As soon as a ship is found to be leaving the island, it is immediately chased and sunk with artillery. Although the roar did not sound as terrifying as the salvo of the Broken Fleet, the ruthless and ferocious style of the battleship was no better than that of the Broken Army Sailors.

"It's the Liuqiu Su family and the Donghai Fang family!" Someone screamed in despair.

"And the people of Huang Shuiyang!" Someone cried and added.

The Su family, the Fang family, and the Huangshuiyang group of thieves are all well-known forces on the sea. Among them, the Fang family and the Su family have changed their careers in recent years to start ocean trafficking, and the Huangshuiyang group of thieves have returned to Dayuan. Who would have thought that they would actually come to Nanyang together.

"Don't go to sea, seek revenge!" On the flagship of the old boss Fang Sheng, the pirates waved black battle flags in warning. This kind of "flag language" is simpler than that used by sailors, and everyone who often runs the waterway understands it.

"Only look for the culprit, and never ask!" The old boss of the Su family fleet woke up and supplemented it with a flag on the other side.

"According to the rules of the sea, pay the person, settle the claim!" Huang Shuiyang's heroic Tang Shixiong followed the coaxing, and he had been a grain transporter for Beiyuan for many years, and today he was able to return to his old business, and he had an indescribable excitement in his heart.

Ha Gedang looked around in panic, and found that the nearby chieftains were all looking at him with bad intentions, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

That night, there was civil strife on the island of Grand, and King Hachigedang and the Mongol envoy Hagen were beheaded by Miao Chun, the general of the Broken Army. As for who led Miao Chun ashore and who blocked the tens of thousands of remnants under the command of Ha Gedang for Miao Chun, in the dark night, it was not clear.

The next day, the pirates made way for each of the nations to leave with three small boats, after leaving their names and locations, and signing their names.

Five days later, the frightened King of Java heard the unfortunate news that the pirates had plundered the kingdom of Grande and set sail for Sriwijaya. Under the leadership of Du Hu, the Great Song Fleet, with the list in hand, began to "visit" the ports of various countries one by one, and "asked" them the reasons for fighting against the Great Song Fleet.

Sriwijaya is a subject state of Java and guards the Straits of Manrakal (the South Seas of Malacca). The trading ships from the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Food, Great Qin, Persia, Baghdad, Mecca, Aden, and Tianzhu were all supplied from here. When he made an appointment with various countries to plunder the Song ships, the king of Java did not dare to order the port of Manraka to participate. He also knew that if the function of a maritime transit point was lost, the port of Manraka would become a dead port, and the wealth base on which the state of Java relied to dominate the South Seas would be lost.

If the Great Song pirates took away the port of Manraka, Java would lose a chicken that lays golden eggs. The king of Java, Ha Gedanaga, was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, but he did not have the strength to resist the joint attack of the Great Song fleet and pirates, so he had to go to the temple every day to worship the Buddha and ask the Buddha to bless him with noble people who could help him get rid of the calamity in front of him.

Perhaps the Buddha heard his prayers, and a few days later, a noble person really came. Tuhan, the son-in-law of Ha Gedanaga, led a man who claimed to be a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty to the palace and said that he could mediate between Java and the Great Song Dynasty to withdraw the pirates and the Great Song sailors to Quanzhou. The premise is that the state of Java must break with the Great Yuan, compensate the Great Song for the cost of sending troops, and give certain benefits to the intermediary.

"The nobleman really has an old relationship with the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he really knows those pirates?" After listening to the introduction of his son-in-law Tuhan, the king of Java, Ha Gedanaga, asked suspiciously.

The guy in front of him, who claims to be a businessman, looks like a robber. Not to mention the murderous aura, his face is also covered with black cold hair, and when he laughs, his hair, beard and cold hair are twisted together, how terrifying it is.

"Of course, although our Nanyang Business Group has just been established, the boss Chen Fusong is the son of Chen Longfu, the pacification envoy of Fujian in the Great Song Dynasty, and the nephew of Wen Tianxiangxiang. I once became the captain of the naval division at a young age, but later I didn't want to kill people, so I gave up the military and joined the business, Amitabha, sin, sin, I have committed another verbal precept..."Li Xiang, the vice president of the Nanyang Merchant Group, folded his hands and replied reverently. In that way, Huofu is the legendary Arhat, who has just been enlightened by the Buddha and put down the butcher's knife.

"Oh, the Dharma is boundless, and the shore is the shore. Chen Jushi understands it thoroughly, and compared to me, the king, he can afford it and put it down! "Ha only Godanagar thorns together, return the salute. I can't help but have a good impression of Li Xiang. All sins can be resolved as soon as you enter the Buddha's door. He ordered someone to rob the Great Song caravan and killed the Great Song maritime merchants. These sins were forbidden, and they were all coerced by the Mongols. Since the cold-haired guy in front of him has the same experience, they should be able to understand each other.

"This good man's surname is Li, and he has also done it in the Broken Army, so he is very familiar with the demon king surnamed Du!" The king of Java accepted Li Xiang's words and hurriedly fanned the flames beside him.

When everyone was tempted by the Mongols to rob the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty, Tuhan was not optimistic about the outcome of the matter. This is not because of his care for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but because he privately believes that the shipbuilding technology of the Mongols is not as high as that of the Great Song Dynasty, so the threat to the South Seas is not as great as that of the Great Song Dynasty. Instead of killing the Song people to curry favor with the Mongols, it is far better to kill the Mongols to curry favor with the Great Song Dynasty. There is no need to rob it, just by relying on more and more merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty to trade between the South Seas, you can create countless wealth for the countries of the South Seas. Moreover, Nanyang also had the grain, silver and copper mines that the Great Song Dynasty most urgently needed.

"Li Jushi is willing to mediate for Java, and I am grateful to all of Java. But I don't know what kind of remuneration Li Jushi needs, and what conditions I need to agree to Da Song in Java! Ha Ge Danaga thorn glanced at Tuhan meaningfully, then turned to Li Xiang and asked.

"I am now a businessman, although I have been influenced by Buddhism and have the heart to save the world. But for the sake of their own survival......" Li Xiang smiled and said solemnly.

"That's nature, that's nature. When the Buddha preached, did he still need three buckets of rice and gold? What does Li Jushi need, just mention it, I will go up and down in Java and try my best to meet the requirements of the donor! Without waiting for Li Xiang to finish speaking, Ha Ge Danaga's thorn replied first.

This enthusiastic attitude made Li Xiang feel very embarrassed. He plucked the cold hair from his face a few times, stabilized his mind for a while, and then slowly said: "Our caravan, the requirements are naturally not high." That is, I want to lease a small island from your country to dry sails, repair ships and so on. As for which island, you don't have to worry about it. Grande Island is currently occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, I will help you get it back, and you will lease him to our Nanyang Merchant Group for twenty years at this price every year, how about it? ”

After speaking, Li Xiang instructed his entourage to bring a small wooden box, opened the lid, and put it in front of Ha Gedanaga.

A crystal clear glass lamp fell into the eyes of the king of Java, with a gold top and a silver frame, inlaid with a double layer of dark pink glass. The inner glass and the outer layer are painted differently, coaxial with each other.

Seeing that the eyes of the Javanese king Weng's son-in-law were attracted by the lantern, Li Xiang smiled proudly, bent down and picked up the glass lamp, and ordered someone to light the incense candles inside. (Please support the drunkards to 17k)

A faint scent of ambergris erupted from the mouth of the lamp, and the glass lamp began to rotate slowly after being heated. The inner and outer glass images echo each other, and it actually turns into a series of actions. Under the lamp, the silver bell is played softly, as if there is a bodhisattva, slowly speaking Sanskrit.

Ha Ge Danaga's eyes were straight, this is a priceless treasure, and Li Xiang promised to give him one every year. Even if Li Xiang didn't give him any rent, he could return the territory of Gelang Island, which was captured by the Great Song Dynasty, and it was enough for him to show off in front of the chieftains. With his hands under the lantern, he replied in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, this king promises you." Gran Island was leased to the Nanyang merchant group for 20 years, and the annual rent was charged for a glass lamp! ”

"The king is slow, besides, the tariff of the Nanyang merchant group walking in Java..."Li Xiang deliberately shook the lantern and asked in a lengthened voice.

"If the Nanyang Merchant Group can succeed in suing for peace with Java, all goods in Java will be exempt from tax!" Ha Gedana replied cheerfully, as if he didn't take that little tax seriously.
