Chapter 560: The Whole Country Greets

Ang Lee's large fleet soon arrived near the capital of Sri Buddha's death, and formed a short distance outside the harbor, ready to enter the harbor at any moment.

Because it arrived in the early hours of the morning, it was very dark, and for safety reasons, the fleet did not rush into the harbor, but waited until dawn before entering.

A small boat entered the harbor ahead of time and informed the news of the arrival of the main force of the Tang Dynasty sailors, so that the deceased king of Sri Buddha could be prepared to welcome him, so as not to cause a miscalculation.

Of course, the news of the extermination of pirates is also to be told to the other party, and there is nothing bad about making the other party happy.

After the news reached the harbor where Sri Buddha died, the guards were still a little unconvinced, and after they climbed high and looked into the distance, they were so frightened that they almost fell, although the night was very thick, but the huge fleet of the Tang Army's sailors could still see the silhouette, which was not an ordinary spectacle.

The panicked port guard, where did he dare to delay, and hurriedly ran to report the situation to the chief, the port governor also did not believe it, and personally went to the high place to take a look, and then hurriedly rode his horse and galloped to the palace not far away.

The Tang Dynasty sailor came, such a big matter, no matter what, he had to let the king know immediately, otherwise, he would be derelict in his duty.

In a small country like Sri Buddha's death, there is certainly no such thing as a night ban, but this does not mean that at night, people can run around casually, get caught, and be easily misjudged as thieves and punished.

The palace must be closed at night, lest outlaws enter the palace and threaten the king's safety.

At this moment, there was still more than an hour before dawn, and the gates of the palace of Sri Buddha were closed, and the guards were leaning on the walls and falling asleep, and everything was so quiet.

"Open the door, open the door, I'm in a hurry."

The harbor chief shouted.

The guard was taken aback, and hurriedly poked his head down in a panic to check the situation below.

"What's the matter, it's not dawn yet?"

The guard yelled unceremoniously.

"Hurry up and open the door, I want to see the king immediately, the Tang Army Sailor is here, and he also helped us exterminate the five pirates, open the door quickly?"

The port chief said excitedly.

"Tang Army Water Division? Didn't you already go to the west of you? How did you come here, you dreamed! ”

"Hahahaha!"

The guard didn't believe it and laughed.

"I'm telling the truth, the Tang Army Navy has really come, they are outside the port, they haven't entered the port yet, and there are hundreds of big ships in the dark?"

The port chief said excitedly.

"Hey, could what he said be true?"

"No, it won't! I don't think so. ”

"Not necessarily, I know him, he is the chief officer of the port, he should not dare to lie, otherwise, the king will blame."

"So what are we going to do, let him in?"

"It's not dawn yet, we can't be the master, let's report to the chief of the guard!"

"Oh my God! The chief guard is sleeping, he hugged two beautiful chicks last night, and I guess he is very tired now, and I dare not go. ”

"Coward, I'll go."

Several guards talked, and one finally chose to report to the head.

It was a terrible feeling to be disturbed from the dream, and the guard who went to report the situation came back with a black face, and was silent when he saw his companion, but not far behind him, a fat captain of the guard walked over.

When I looked at him, he just didn't wake up, his eyes couldn't be opened, he yawned, looked down, and shouted, "Why are you, it's not dawn yet?" What are you here for? ”

The port guard shouted to report the situation, and he almost didn't scold his mother.

Seeing that the other party's expression was so anxious, the chief of the guard did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered the door to be opened, let the other party in, and then cooperate with him to meet the king.

At this point in time, the king, as the head of a nation, must be sleeping, but it is the most sleepy time of the day.

At such times, no one would choose to disturb the king unless he did not want to mess around.

However, the large-scale arrival of the Tang army's naval division at the port is a big deal, in case the etiquette is not careful, so that the Tang Dynasty can find an excuse to attack, and Sri Buddha will die in an instant.

Therefore, even at the risk of being revived, the harbour master had to bother the king.

The king of Sri Buddha, who passed away, was about the same age as Ang Lee, and when he was in the prime of life, his physical condition was still very high, and he had to visit the beauty almost every night, and the quality of sleep was also very high.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to see."

The port chief refused to be stopped by the attendants, and shouted a big thing, while the chief of the palace gate guard stood by and accompanied.

After shouting a few words, the king heard it, and got up very unhappily, pushed away the beauty who was holding him, put on a dress at random, and walked out with a black face.

"Something big has happened, wake up this king so early."

The king rebuked unhappily.

Sleep quality is a very important thing for a person, if the sleep is not good, it will cause a series of body pathologies, which will make people's temper become extremely irritable, and even violent tendencies.

In later generations, because of sleep problems, a separate World Sleep Day was held to remind people that people should pay attention to their sleep status, so as to maintain a good body.

Only when you are in good health can you better devote yourself to work and study, and seek a better future for yourself.

Of course, the pressure of life in ancient times was very small, and life was more regular than in later generations, so the proportion of insomnia in the ancients was very low, and few people suffered from insomnia.

Later generations are different, because the pace of life is getting faster and faster, people's mental pressure is getting bigger and bigger, so that people have insomnia symptoms, and most people have had insomnia in different situations, some are lighter, some are heavier, and the most serious is long-term insomnia, which must rely on the effect of drugs to be able to speak.

Therefore, although there are many good things in later generations, they are not as good as the ancient environment, and there is no relatively relaxed environment like ancient times.

The port chief did not dare to delay, and hurriedly recounted the situation that the Tang Navy had arrived outside the port, and repeatedly assured that he had seen it with his own eyes and could not be wrong.

"The Tang Navy Division is here, hundreds of big ships?"

King Sri Buddha obviously did not expect the Tang army sailors to come on a large scale, and his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Although he had already learned that the Tang Navy had helped him exterminate the five pirate nests in the vicinity and helped him a lot, he always had a faint sense of fear in his heart, after all, the strength of the Tang Army Navy Master was too terrifying, and he could destroy five powerful pirates with a casual move, such a powerful force, if he wanted to destroy his Sri Buddha, it would not be a matter of minutes.

Out of fear of power, King Sri Buddha did not dare to ignore the arrival of the Tang Army's sailors, at this moment, any period in the country is no longer important, only the reception of the Tang Dynasty sailors is the most important thing.

The harbour chief affirmed: "Your Majesty, how can this be wrong, I have seen with my own eyes, and they have sent a few people to contact us, saying that we will enter the port after dawn, so that we can get ready." ”

King Sri Buddha nodded, gasped, and said: "The Tang Army Sailor is really too powerful, this king heard a few days ago that they exterminated the Black Wolf and this group of pirates, this is a powerful pirate with 20,000 or 30,000 horses!" This group of pirates easily destroyed the Dragon's Tooth Gate, and even my Sri Buddha had to prepare for war for years in case of pirate sneak attacks, and as a result, it was so easy to be beaten down by the Tang Dynasty sailors, these small groups of pirates around us are not to be feared, but they often harass the people, and it is also quite a headache, the Tang Dynasty sailors only took one day to destroy the five pirates, not only destroyed the pirates' lair, but also captured more than a thousand pirates, which is really shocking. ”

"What His Majesty the King said is that the Datang sailors are unimaginably powerful, so the ministers have the courage to come in the middle of the night, Datang is something we can't afford to offend, we must pay enough attention to them, and give them the highest courtesy."

The harbor chief said.

King Sri Buddha sighed and said softly: "I understand what you mean, you are asking me to personally greet the Tang officials, this is natural, this king must personally greet them, and besides, if the Tang Dynasty soldiers have any needs, as long as we can do it, we must try our best to meet them, and let the Tang Dynasty soldiers feel our friendliness." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, then let us go! In half an hour, the sky will be bright, and we can't let the officials of Datang wait for us. ”

Harbour Chief, spoke.

King Sri Buddha nodded: "That's right, we must prepare immediately, immediately send an order, let all the ministers dress up, go to the port to meet the Tang officials, by the way, let the common people also get up, and go together to meet the Tang Dynasty sailors, so as to show our Sri Buddha's friendship to the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will give the order at once."

The chamberlain immediately went to give the order, and the king returned to his bedroom to dress himself.

As the king of a country, he must pay attention to his image, and he must dress neatly to meet the officials of the Tang Dynasty, which is not only the maintenance of his own image, but also the respect for others.

As for letting the people of the whole city run to meet the Tang Navy, it is to show friendship and please the Tang Empire, so as to win better development for themselves.

After the king's order was issued, all the officials and people of the city suffered, and they had all slept well, but because of the king's words, they all had to get up and run to the port several miles away, in order to please the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and show the friendliness and goodwill of the whole Sri Buddha.

Although many complained about the king's orders, they could only express them privately with their acquaintances, and they eventually got up and dressed themselves and went together in the direction of the harbor, a few miles away.

The king's costume was exaggerated, so it was a waste of time to prepare, and the king set out from the palace after the people had left the city one after another.

However, the people went on foot, and the king had a carriage, so the king and his people arrived at the port at about the same time.

By the time the deceased king of Sri Buddha, as well as his officials and the people of the capital arrived at the harbor, the sky had already begun to darken, and the ships of the entire port could be seen clearly, and the fleet of the Tang Dynasty sailors in the distance could naturally be seen clearly.

Sri Buddha died in a small country, and most of the common people had never traveled far away, and they did not understand the power and development of the Tang Dynasty, so they had never seen a huge steam ship.

When they saw the huge ship with black smoke in the distance gradually approaching, they all had a somewhat stunned expression, as if they were looking at the steam ship of the Tang Dynasty Sailor, and their mouths opened into a big shape.

The deceased king of Sri Buddha had been to the Tang Dynasty and had stayed in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, for a period of time.

But when he saw the huge steam ship not far away, he was still taken aback, this visual impact was too strong, making people feel suffocated.

The reason why this is so is because when the deceased king of Sri Buddha went to Chang'an City, it was many years ago, and at that time, the Tang Dynasty had not yet begun to industrialize, and there was no such equipment as steam ships, so he naturally couldn't see it.

"It's only been a few years, and Datang has been able to build such a huge and fast sea ship, no wonder it can exterminate pirates in a short period of time."

Sri Buddha passed the king, sighed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, when the ministers accompanied you to Chang'an City, you had seen a lot along the way, but at that time, the Tang Dynasty definitely did not have such a big ship emitting black smoke."

A minister said.

"This king heard that Datang has been engaged in industrialization in recent years, is it related to this matter? By the way, what is industrialization, can we do it after Sri Buddha dies? ”

King Sri Buddha frowned.

"Your Majesty, as for what industrialization is, we don't know, we have to ask the officials from the Tang Dynasty to know."

An old minister shook his head.

King Sri Buddha nodded, looking expectantly at the fleet of the Tang Dynasty sailors.

The warships of the Tang Navy Division walked in the front, followed by Li An's boat, at the back were the logistics ships responsible for supply, and at the back there were five steam cannon ships, acting as the rearguard.

As we get closer to the harbor, all the ships are slowing down to avoid hitting the facilities of the harbor and causing huge damage.

And because Sri Buddha is a small country, the port throughput demand is not large, so the port facilities are relatively simple, and it is not easy for hundreds of large ships to stop in, requiring precise operation and excellent performance of the ships.

However, Datang's sea ships are all designed by Ang Lee, and the crew members are all veteran employees who have worked for many years, so there is absolutely no problem with technology.

Soon, one by one, the Tang ships quietly anchored in the port where Sri Buddha died, until the waters of the entire port were completely occupied, and the empty sea area was very small, which showed that there were many Datang ships and how huge the ships were.
