Chapter 243: An Unexpected Surprise
Qu Ping said: "You are calling back and forth, but for the word 'profit'. This 'benefit' is the strait that connects the east and west seas of Srivijaya. However, you have been fighting back and forth for so many years, and even if you hurt the peace, you have not received any actual benefits, which is harmful and rude to both sides. ”
Tyran and King New Koshari involuntarily looked up at each other. Qu Ping said, in fact, it is. The two sides have been fighting for many years, working hard and losing money, not to mention spending more energy on running the strait.
"Since it's a quest for wealth, why can't everyone sit together and make a fortune together?" Seeing that the two kings basically agreed with his statement, Qu Ping asked again.
King New Koshari thought to himself, "Although New Koshari has occupied some territory in the southern part of Sriwijayajaya, it is still far away from the Sriwijaya Sea Warrior!" Not only have he lost his troops over the years, but now he is not even qualified to enter and leave the Sriwijaya Strait. Now that there is a great Song Dynasty coordinating from it, wouldn't it be beautiful if we could take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie with harmony? ”
King Shinkoshari then said, "It would be best if we could make a fortune together in peace." ”
"I'm okay with that." Tyran said.
Tyran's new ascension naturally doesn't have the energy to deal with the new Koshari. In addition, now that the Great Song Dynasty has settled in Srivijaya, the strait is no longer a matter of the Srivijaya family, and the interests involved are very high. Economic development is the top priority.
Seeing that both sides agreed, Qu Ping said: "Since both of you want to make a fortune together peacefully, then I will show you a clear way." New Koshari would have the same rights of access to the Straits as other countries, and in exchange, New Koshari would be completely withdrawn from Sriwijaya and returned to the island of Java. ”
The king of New Koshari is a little reluctant, and the territory he has worked so hard to build is just handed back, how can he be worthy of the dead soldiers? Besides, only getting the right to enter and exit the Srivijaya Strait is simply a small profit!
Qu Ping added: "Our Great Song Dynasty is ready to set up a garrison base in Srivijaya to maintain the security and stability of all countries in the South China Sea. For the safety of the Sriwijaya Strait, you can rest assured! If anyone dares to disagree, I will let them see the power of our Song army! ”
When the new King Koshari heard this, he immediately thought of the power of the cannon that the envoy said after he returned, coupled with Qu Ping's unspoken meaning, if he didn't agree, the Great Song Dynasty might have to intervene by force!
Although Xinkeshari is considered a hegemon in the South China Sea, compared to the Great Song Dynasty, it is definitely the gap between quail eggs and giant diamonds. Moreover, the young queen of Sriwijaya can succeed in ascending to the throne so quickly, presumably with the help of the Great Song Dynasty in the back.
Such a large force as the Three Buddhas was settled by the Song side in a short period of time, so my own new Keshari is probably easy for the Song army, right?
King New Koshari's heart faltered. He didn't have the courage to test the edge of the Song army.
"I have no problem with the right of passage of the Straits in New Koshari," Tyran said. ”
Now the pressure is on New Koshari's side.
Zhao Chengzhang sang with a white face and said: "If the new King Keshari can't think about it for a while, it doesn't matter, you can go back and think about it slowly." After a while, we came to visit in person. ”
The king of Xinkeshali heard the unkindness in Zhao Chengzhang's words, and sneered: "Master Hou, why do you have to make another trip for this trivial matter?" This matter is a win-win situation, and since the Queen of Sriwijaya is so generous, I can naturally take a step back and retreat to Java. ”
Qu Ping said happily: "Okay, I'll be a witness today, and everyone has made an agreement here." If anyone violates the agreement, then Da Song, as this witness, may have something to say! ”
Tailan first said: "The Three Buddhas are willing to follow the harmony of the Celestial Empire!" ”
Under the pressure, the new King Koshari had no other choice, and then said: "The new Koshari is also willing to obey the reconciliation of the Celestial Empire!" ”
Qu Ping laughed and said: "This storm may not be a good thing!" How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Do you think so? Hahaha! ”
Sriwijaya and Sriwijaya signed an agreement on the ship, and Sriwijaya returned to Java in full, and Sriwijaya provided the other party with the right of passage in the Sriwijaya Strait, and together they complied with the Song Dynasty's coordination.
The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the sea repeated its calm.
Everyone went up to the deck together to observe the Song ship and see the cannons.
Qu Ping said proudly: "These cannons are not easy to move, once they are launched, the heavens and the earth will cry, the earth will shake, and if they hit the target, they will definitely be wiped out!" Those who can see its power are either standing by my side or dead! ”
Tailan smiled: "I will stand by the side of the prince. ”
King New Koshari did not want to be the target of artillery bombardment, so he quickly took a stand: "Me too! ”
Tyran said: "Now that things have a happy ending, I should also go back to the palace." Do you want the prince and the king of the new Koshari to come to the humble house to sit down? ”
King New Koshari no longer wanted to stay under pressure, and said: "Now that the two countries have reached a peace agreement, I should also lead my army back, and I will not bother here." Lord Wang, Lord Hou, next time please be a guest in New Keshali, we also want to get the light of China! ”
Qu Ping said with a smile: "The king is too modest, and when I turn back from the western part of the Sriwijaya Strait, I will definitely visit your country." ”
"The prince is going to the West Sea?" King New Koshari asked.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I wish you a smooth journey! The king took his leave. Queen Tyran, there will be a period later! "The New Koshari King.
The king of the new Koshari took his thirty-four men with him, and planned to go south first, and return to Java with the soldiers who remained here.
Tailan asked Qu Ping: "What are the prince's plans next?" ”
"I'm going to cross the Sriwijaya Strait to the west and go north to Siam and Bagan. If possible, you may go further afield. Qu Ping looked to the west and said with fascination.
Tyran reminded: "There is a group of Chola people in the northern part of Srivijaya and the southern part of Siam, and they must be careful on the road. ”
Qu Ping said: "Let him come, I'll beat it into a pig!" ”
Tyran sighed, "It would be great if he could sail far away like the prince! Ay! Then I wish you all the best of luck! When you come back, you can't say goodbye without saying goodbye, and you must let me do my landlord's friendship! ”
Xiao Ludai Qu Ping replied: "I must go!" ”
Tyran looked at them reluctantly, and she suddenly felt that they had become the closest people to her, except for her mother. happy
Qu Ping said: "There is a long road ahead, Your Majesty must be careful." The height is unbearable, and the position of the kingdom is not so easy to sit on, even if it is the head of a family of five, it is not easy to be the head of the country, let alone the head of the country of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Go for it! ”
Xiao Lu said: "Tailan, no matter how powerful a woman is, she still has to rely on a man after all." Do you understand what your sister said? ”
Tyran smiled lightly, "I will." Lord, please call me Tailan next time! Leave! ”
After saying that, Tyran left the ship with his men.
Zhao Chengzhang said at this time: "Why are you sad when you talk about it? ”
Because Tailan still has Han blood in her body, everyone subconsciously regards her as a compatriot, even a brother and sister.
Xiao Lu grabbed Qu Ping and said, "You just said that the head of a family of five is not good, what do you mean?" You explain it to me! ”
Qu Ping hurriedly ran away, shouting: "Chengzhang, tell the soldiers to get ready, and set off tomorrow!" ”
Xiao Lu chased after him: "And Tailan, why do you want to call her Tailan?" ”
The Song boat continued westward along the Sriwijaya Strait, surrounded by blue seas and blue skies, low trees and low houses. Unknown birds pass by, or stop on the mast to rest.
Out of the Srivijaya Strait, Qu Ping had a faint feeling of indescribable feeling in his heart, but he had no clue, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Anyway, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, go forward bravely, what are you afraid of!
There is no shortage of fresh sea fish, crabs and prawns on the boat to feast on, but if you eat too much, you will miss the taste of radish and greens.
During the meal that day, Xiao Lu picked up a piece of sea fish and just brought it to her mouth, smelling the smell and feeling a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"What's wrong?" Qu Ping asked with concern.
Xiao Lu rubbed her belly, calmed her cramped stomach, and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm tired of eating seafood!" ”
Qu Ping smiled: "It's really a happy trouble." In the future, let the kitchen cook more vegetarian dishes for you. ”
Han'er looked up and said, "Mom didn't eat last night, and I want to throw up!" ”
Qu Ping was surprised: "It started yesterday? Why didn't you tell me? Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? ”
Xiao Lu was afraid that Qu Ping would worry about herself and affect the itinerary, so she said, "It's okay." ”
Zhao Chengzhang had more eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Will Madame ...... Bun in the oven? ”
Qu Ping and Xiao Lu were shocked after hearing this, and looked at each other.
If you get pregnant at sea, it's really not very convenient.
"No......" Xiao Lu had no confidence to speak. Anyway, this month, my aunt hasn't come to greet herself, can't it be true?
Qu Ping was still not at ease, and said, "Wait a minute, let's call the doctor to come and take a look." ”
Zhao Chengzhang said: "What are you waiting for, just now!" There is no doctor on board. Xiao Gao, go and ask the doctor to come over! ”
The ordinary guard Xiao Gao agreed, and ran to invite the doctor.
The doctor came in and greeted the adults, and then asked Xiao Lu about the symptoms.
He took out a small scarf from the medical box, carefully covered it on Xiao Lu's left wrist, stretched out the two, three or four fingers of his right hand, pressed it on the inch-guan ruler pulse, and took the pulse lightly and heavily, while making serious inferences in his heart. Then it was exchanged to the other hand to take the pulse.
Everyone watched the doctor take the pulse carefully and carefully, and they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of affecting the doctor's diagnosis.
The doctor made a judgment, nodded, met Qu Ping's eager gaze, and said solemnly: "Congratulations to the prince, madam, this is a joy!" ”
"What!?" Qu Ping and Xiao Lu exclaimed in unison. It's both surprise and fright. This unexpected joy came too suddenly, and it came out of time.
Xiao Lu said in his heart, no wonder nothing came this month. But how can this be good if the sea conditions are limited? Not to mention the medical conditions, it is difficult to change the sweet and sour taste.
Qu Ping asked the doctor, "Nothing else, right?" Is the fetus okay? ”
The doctor smiled and said: "Don't worry, the prince is fine, the lady and the fetus in the womb are fine, and the fetus is raised with peace of mind." ”
The doctor prescribed some more medicine and retired.
Zhao Chengzhang congratulated the two with a smile. Han'er didn't know what it meant to be happy, and Zhao Chengzhang explained: "County lord, your mother is going to give you a younger brother!" ”
Han'er jumped up for joy and exclaimed, "Oh, that's great! Finally, I don't have to be alone on the boat, and my brother will be able to watch the moon rise in the sea with me! ”
Qu Ping and Xiao Lu couldn't get excited, but they were both a little jealous and worried, the sea was uneven, and the medical and health conditions were not very good.
The two looked at each other, and they both understood each other's concerns, this baby came too amazingly.
"It's all your fault!" Xiao Lu glanced at Qu Ping and said coquettishly.
"Why don't we go back?" Qu Ping said.
