Genius remembered for a second, "Love ♂ ÷ small? Say →', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The more than 100 fleets of Datang only stayed in Zhancheng for more than a day, and then continued to go south, and the next target, the Poison Country, was not far from Zhancheng, and it would only take a few hours to arrive.

This time, Li An did not make a big move, only sent ten ironclad artillery trucks and a thousand forward battalions to forcibly land, and let one of his subordinates go to negotiate with the king of the Gate Poison Country.

The door poison country is very small, and there may not be a thousand soldiers in the country, for such a small country, just scare it, I am not afraid that he will not agree, and Li An's requirements for the door poison country are relatively few, only need to reduce the tariffs on the Datang caravan in accordance with the requirements of Datang, and be ready to cooperate with the Datang sailors to deal with possible pirates at any time, and respect the rights and interests of Datang merchants, and not use the country's criminal law to punish Datang merchants and so on.

The situation was smoother than Li An expected, and the king of the Gate Poison Country was immediately frightened when he saw the Tang Dynasty army of soldiers and horses pressing the border, and there were countless large ships on the sea, where did he dare to talk about the conditions, he directly agreed unconditionally, and even sent a large number of delicacies from the palace to honor Li An and others.

There is no decent food in the Door Poison Country, at most it is just a local specialty, such as the jackfruit produced locally is very delicious, and the taste is great, much more delicious than the jackfruit produced in Datang Yazhou.

This is because of the different regional climates, the same product is in different positions, and there are some subtle differences in the food that can be produced, such as oranges in Huainan and oranges in Huaibei, which is caused by different climates, in addition, soil, air, sunshine time, frequency of rain, interference from other animals and plants, etc., can all affect the yield and taste of the product.

"Big brother, it's already evening, do you want to continue sailing, or stay here for the night?"

Li Feiyu asked.

Li An thought for a moment and replied, "Let's rest on the shore!" The southern country of Gudi is not far away, and it will leave early tomorrow morning, and it will arrive at noon, and there is no hurry, besides, it is not safe enough to sail at night, so it is ordered to rest on the shore. ”

More than 100 large ships approached the shore in turn, there is a large port here, which is usually used to accept merchant ships, so the draft is still good, and after accommodating more than 100 large ships of Datang, there is still room for it.

Always staying on the boat and swaying, which makes people a little uncomfortable, Li Ang placed his Chinese army tent in a proper place on the shore, and set up a gazebo outside the tent, with rocking chairs in it, and next to it is a coffee table, on which are placed the best jackfruit used by the royal family of the Door Poison Country, as well as several fresh fruits that can only be found in the tropics.

Li Ang had also eaten jackfruit in his previous life, and he knew that jackfruit was a tropical fruit and one of the heaviest fruits in the world, with a normal single weight of ten to forty catties, and the heaviest one was close to one hundred and twenty catties, which was heavier than many thinner adults.

Its pulp can be eaten directly, can also be processed into canned, preserved fruit, juice, its seeds are rich in starch, can be boiled and eaten, sap and leaves can be used medicinally, have the effect of reducing swelling and detoxification, the pulp quenches thirst, clears milk, tonifies the effect of invigorating qi, jackfruit tree shape is neat, the crown is large and shaded, it is a beautiful shade tree and street tree, it can also be planted on both sides of the road, a large jackfruit tree of hundreds of years, the wood is golden, the material is hard, it can be used to make furniture, and it can also be made of yellow dye.

The shape of the fruit of jackfruit is somewhat similar to the pineapple that grows on the ground, so it can also be called a large tree pineapple, it belongs to the mulberry tree, is a special plant of tropical Asia, widely cultivated in tropical humid areas, the height of the tree can reach fifteen to twenty meters, the leaves are large and hard, and the flowers are male and female.

Unripe jackfruit with green peel can be eaten as a vegetable, while brown ripe fruits can be eaten directly as fruits, with a sweet and sour taste but not strong seeds, a seed length of about three centimeters, and can also be cooked.

Jackfruit is a runiflower plant, that is, its flowers bloom on a thicker trunk, which looks a little weird, and the thick trunk hangs from the fruit, which is difficult to see in temperate zones.

This plant loves the sun, the more light the better, and it grows very quickly, prefers the fertile soil behind it, and must not accumulate water, otherwise, it may drown.

The edible value of jackfruit is still very high, when ripe, every 100 grams of pulp contains 25 grams of carbohydrates, 25 milligrams of calcium, milligrams of phosphorus, and 7 milligrams of iron, which can be described as extremely nutritious.

In addition, the sugars, proteins, fats, oils, minerals and vitamins in jackfruit play a role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of the body. After taking jackfruit, it can strengthen the hydrolysis of fibrin in the body, dissolve the fibrin and blood clots blocked in the tissues and blood vessels, thereby improving the local blood and fluid circulation, so that inflammation and edema can be absorbed and resolved, and have a certain adjuvant therapeutic effect on cerebral thrombosis and other diseases caused by thrombosis.

The pineapple protein extracted from jackfruit is used in combination with antibiotics and other drugs, which can promote the penetration and diffusion of drugs into diseased tissues, and is suitable for the treatment of inflammation, edema and other diseases caused by various reasons, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, acute pneumonia, pharyngitis, retinitis, mastitis, postpartum congestion, postpartum thrombophlebitis, arthritis, periarticular inflammation, cellulitis, calf ulcer and other diseases. In addition, jackfruit sap can be applied directly and topically, which can treat diseases such as lymphangitis and hemorrhoids.

It is because jackfruit is rich in a lot of nutrients that it is very popular, and people in the tropics love to eat jackfruit.

However, not everyone can eat jackfruit, and some people will have allergic reactions such as skin flushing, rash, itching, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and anaphylactic shock.

This is because jackfruit pulp contains jackfruit protease, which some people are allergic to, but only need to soak it in salt water to remove these proteases, thus avoiding food allergies.

It is also important to note that jackfruit should not be eaten with honey, otherwise it will cause flatulence, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening and cause irreversible serious consequences.

"Ah Lang, this jackfruit is really hard to peel, and it's finally peeled out."

Yun'er took a lot of effort to peel off a jackfruit that was more than 30 catties long.

In fact, this coolie can be completely allowed to cook to do it, they are more professional, but this girl has to try it herself, so it's no wonder that others.

"Look at what you can, go wash your hands."

Li An said with a smile, for a big guy like jackfruit, it is very troublesome to completely peel off the flesh inside, anyway, it is much more difficult than peeling oranges.

Looking at the peeled jackfruit in the bowl, Li An picked one up and put it to his mouth, and was about to taste this delicacy, when he suddenly remembered that this guy may cause allergies in people, if he is still really allergic, wouldn't it be very troublesome.

"Beauty, go get some light salt water, this thing has to be soaked to be delicious, and it can also prevent allergies."

Li An opened his mouth to ask.

Soon, a large bowl of light salt water was served.

Li Ang soaked a jackfruit pulp in light salt water for a while, then took it out and put it to his mouth, and immediately smelled a faint fragrance, much more fragrant than before.

Stuff the flesh of jackfruit into your mouth and chew it carefully, and a fragrant and rich flavor will sink into your heart and spleen, making you want to eat more.

"The taste is so beautiful, you two have been busy for a long time, let's eat a little!"

Li An said very generously.

Ang Lee has always been very generous to these two personal maids, and of course he has to share the food with them, so that the two of them are happy, so that they can serve themselves more hard.

Lying on a comfortable rocking chair, eating sweet jackfruit, looking at the beautiful night scene, and two intimate maids around me to help me massage, this feeling is too comfortable, and only Li An can have this super high treatment in the entire army.

After resting for the night, the army continued to march and went to the next small country, which was the country of Shigudi, this small country was the same as the country of the door poison, it was a small country that could not be smaller, except for the capital, there was almost no population, the soldiers and horses were only a thousand people, there were slightly more people, and there was a certain market.

At noon, a large fleet of ships arrived at the port of Gudi and sent a small number of soldiers and horses to forcibly land, putting forward the demands of the Tang Dynasty.

The king of Gudi Kingdom, after weighing the pros and cons, had no choice but to compromise under the huge military pressure of the Tang army, and honestly signed the agreement.

Within a few days, the Ring Kingdom, the Gate Poison Country and the Gudi Kingdom were dealt with in a row, and Li An's mood was beautiful, and it was too easy to solve these small countries, of course, this was also because these small countries were too weak, and they were simply vulnerable, and their king was not willing to take the risk of confrontation, so the progress was naturally fast.

After taking out the kingdom of Gudi, the next step is to face a large group of pirate lairs entrenched near Malacca.

In the vicinity of Malacca, there are small countries such as Longya Gate, Luo Yue Kingdom, Sri Buddha Kingdom, Heling Kingdom, Luo Gu Kingdom, Gegu Luo Kingdom, Shengdeng Kingdom, and Bolu Kingdom.

The reason why so many small countries have coexisted for a long time but have not achieved reunification is because of the complicated terrain and backward means of transportation, and each small country is only responsible for one acre and three points of land in front of its own door, and does not want to invade others, nor does it have the ability to invade others, even if it costs huge national strength to invade, it may also cause an uncontrollable outcome because of the inconvenient transportation between the two places.

There is an ancient saying in China since ancient times, called Yue Guo Yi Yuan, you know its difficulties, which means that you should know how difficult it will be to cross a country and take the distant land as your own territory.

However, as the pirate power grew rapidly, this slowly began to change.

The many bands of pirates that inhabited the vicinity of Malacca were nominally unified more than a hundred years ago, and today most of the pirates are led by the Black Wolves, who are the largest group of pirates in the vicinity of Malacca.

These pirates were slow to develop, after all, although they were able to plunder the passing merchant ships and get tolls when they were in a good mood, they had to eat, drink, loot and demand more than enough money for their own consumption, and in this way, their strength could only barely be maintained.

But recently, thanks to the sudden rise of the Tang Empire, maritime trade has increased many times at once, and even if they don't rob it, just collecting protection fees is enough for them to live a worry-free life.

The small nations along the route used legal heavy taxes to oppress the merchants, and the pirates tortured the passing merchants by collecting tolls and looting, which shows how difficult the life of the merchants must have been.

The same ship does not necessarily settle in a small country, but they will pass through the Strait of Malacca, so the pirates entrenched in the Strait of Malacca get the most income, and after getting a lot of money, they can't spend it, so they can use this money to recruit troops, build ships and build weapons, so as to further strengthen their own strength and make themselves stronger.

According to reliable sources, the powerful pirate leader Black Wolf has used means to take down the Dragon Tooth Gate Kingdom trapped on the isolated island, and forcibly marry the beautiful daughter of the King of Dragon Tooth Gate.

Even, the soldiers and servants of the entire Dragon Tooth Gate Country are all black wolf people, but the clothing is different from that of pirates, this black wolf is very ghostly, the underworld has a powerful army and horses, and the white road also has a soldier and horse, and the strength cannot be underestimated.

In addition, the nearby Luo Yue Kingdom, Sri Buddha's death, and the Heling Kingdom were all attacked by the Black Wolf Pirate Group for no reason, and the losses were quite large.

The deceased king of Sri Buddha even sent people to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to accuse the pirates of Malacca of being too deceitful, and asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops south to fight the pirates entrenched near Malacca.

If you want to say that the small countries in the neighborhood also have armies, why are they always bullied by pirates and thieves? Even the Dragon Tooth Gate Kingdom has actually been wiped out.

This is naturally because there is a certain degree of corruption in these small countries, and the high-level people and military generals are all promoted on the basis of their status, and some are greedy for life and afraid of death, while the soldiers at the grassroots level are all poor and do not enjoy the rights and interests of the state, and are not very willing to work for the rich class, so their combat effectiveness is naturally not high enough.

And the pirate group, they are all outlaws, almost all of them are ruthless characters, as long as they capture a village, they can rob as much as they want, and the young girl can carry it casually, so their combat effectiveness is naturally very high, and it is naturally not a problem to defeat the surrounding countries.

Now, the core pirates of the Black Wolf Group have reached more than 20,000, and the rest of the attached pirates also have nearly 10,000 horses, coupled with the blackened military strength of the Dragon's Tooth Gate, the Black Wolf has actually become the king of the entire Malacca Sea, if the Tang Empire does not interfere, or in a few years, Luo Yueguo, Sri Buddha and other small countries will be annexed by the Black Wolf, if a huge dark empire is formed in the Malacca Sea, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Tang Empire.

As the leader of the Tang Empire, Li An would certainly not sit idly by and watch this happen, besides, if he hadn't set off the industrialization of the Tang Empire, maritime trade would not have become so frequent, and the power of pirates would not have changed so drastically.
