The sky is clear.

The enemy outside the valley was cleared, and no more enemies rushed out of the valley, and the battle was over.

Cleaning up the battlefield is not the business of the Great Song Dynasty envoy escort army, what is the situation in the valley, they don't want to know, the Xuanwei army and the reserve army quickly withdraw from the battlefield, return to the port where the fleet is stationed, and strengthen the port defense force, so as not to be emboldened by other families and sneak attack the fleet.

The royal guards suffered little losses, with only a few hundred dead and wounded, and the king could not hide his excitement at such a great victory, and as soon as the battle was over, it was announced that each of the king's warriors would be rewarded with ten gold.

They are not in a hurry to clean up the battlefield, besides, there are so many dead bodies, they can't deal with them in a short time. The escort army was divided into two parts, one with 3,000 people made a detour to the north and went straight to the hometown of the Morley family, which was bound to eradicate them, and the other group of more than 1,000 people returned directly to Zhanbei and closed the city for the time being, to see how the other four major families reacted.

Two days later, the news that all 30,000 elite soldiers of the Morley family were wiped out, and hundreds of people were all killed reached the ears of the four major families.

The four major families were shocked, the Morley family is the most powerful family in the Three Buddhas, the 30,000 elite soldiers in their hands are the largest among the five major families, and the strongest combat power, overnight, hundreds of ships were destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, and in one day, 30,000 elite soldiers were completely wiped out by the king's guards, they really couldn't believe the news, but in the face of the ironclad facts, they had to believe it.

The Morley family is gone, will they be next? The four major families, which were originally inseparable due to the conflict of interests, are now in danger, but they dare not gather and contact in valuantly, so they can only communicate secretly and discuss solutions to solve the current crisis.

But the king did not give them much time, on the day of the elimination of the Morley family, he took back the territory occupied by the Morley family, gathered 20,000 warriors in two days, quickly went north, and defeated the weaker Mobal family in one fell swoop, but occupied the other side of the strait, and returned the entire strait to the direct rule of the royal family.

The three major families were stunned, within five days, two of the five major families were wiped out, and the combined strength of the three of them was not much stronger than the king, it was really hard to say, who lost and who won, but they had different thoughts, did they really dare to start a war with the royal family? They did not dare to go to war on their own initiative. They didn't go to war and were not willing to wait for the king to come and destroy them, so they started the idea of envoys from the Great Song Dynasty.

The three major families believed that the king could defeat the Morley family and then eliminate the Moli family, and there must be the help of the Great Song people, although the Great Song Dynasty repeatedly stated that they only destroyed the port ships occupied by the Morley family, but only with no more than 5,000 royal guards can completely annihilate the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Morley family? Don't say they don't believe it, and no one in the entire Srivijaya country will believe it.

Faced with the crisis of extinction, after private discussions among the three major families, they decided to talk to the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, hoping that the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty would come forward to persuade the king and give them a way out.

The intermediary came to the station of the Huiyi fleet, and successfully met the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, Lord Dai, and after he explained the wishes of the three major families, Lord Dai only asked one sentence, can the conditions they give be better than the king? The middleman went back.

A day later, three ships sailed into the harbor where the Great Song fleet docked.

The ships were filled with precious things such as spices, rhino horns, pearls, precious stones, and 50,000 taels of gold. The middleman who came with the ship promised that if he persuaded the king not to do anything to the three major families, he would pay two ships of spices and 30,000 taels of gold to the Great Song Dynasty every year.

Lord Dai was very moved by this condition, and when the two boatloads of spices returned to the Great Song Dynasty, they were two boatloads of gold and silver, which was a lot of money, and he immediately wanted to agree.

But Yang Congyi said that the two boats of spices were not enough, and they had to add something.

The middlemen of the three major families saw that the matter was about to come to fruition, and the Great Song people raised the price, so they were scared and unhappy, but they had no choice but to let the other party talk about it.

Yang Congyi told him that in addition to spices, he also needed a boatload of special tree sap, and if he could do it, the king would not touch them.

When Yang Congyi made it clear what he needed, the middle was overjoyed, that kind of tree was everywhere on the mountain, it was not worth anything at all, and a boatload of tree sap could be collected in a month, so he immediately agreed.

Waiting for the middleman to leave, without waiting for Master Dai to ask, Yang Congyi explained that that kind of sap is only available in Nanyang, and it is very precious to northern countries, and the Great Song Dynasty also needs this kind of thing.

It doesn't matter, add more things, the three major families just need to agree.

The spices sent were directly loaded onto the sea ships of the Hui Yi fleet, 40,000 taels of gold were sealed, and 10,000 taels of gold were rewarded to the whole army and the brothers who died in battle.

Lord Dai came to the palace and saw the king of the Three Buddhas again, and between the words, he found that the king's demeanor and momentum were completely different from before, high-spirited and imposing, as if he was the biggest in the world.

Indeed, the king has taken back a lot of rights, directly administered the territory of the two major families of Morley and Mobal, and all the property they had accumulated for many generations was confiscated, the royal family's sphere of influence expanded several times, and his army also expanded to nearly 40,000 people in a short time.

The king swelled, and he didn't even mention the conditions and benefits promised to the Great Song Dynasty before, which made Lord Dai very unhappy, and he had to pour some cold water on the king, so he directly told the king that the three major families had come to him, hoping that the Great Song Dynasty would come forward to quell the disputes and wars in the Three Buddhas, and the Great Song loved peace and had no reason not to agree.

When the king heard the news, he stayed where he was, unable to say a word, and suddenly lost his spirits.

Master Dai also told him that the state that the Great Song Dynasty wanted was a peaceful and stable family country, a country with a stable political situation, and if he continued to use powerlessness, once the three major families joined forces to confront, the Three Buddhas would inevitably be in turmoil, which was not what the Great Song Dynasty wanted to see. The Great Song fleet is ready to leave, if the royal family is defeated, the Great Song Dynasty will not send people again in the short term, now is the time to live in peace with the three major families, and it is not too late to accumulate enough power to recover the rights one by one.

The king woke up, without the help of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he wipe out the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Morley family with 5,000 men, confiscate his family's countless family wealth, and then destroy the Mobal family and take back control of the entire strait? The five major families have destroyed two families, and the remaining three major families are not weaker than the two major families, and they have just taken back the territory of the two major families, and they have not yet established a stable rule.

So the king immediately promised that he would definitely live in peace with them, since the Great Song fleet was about to leave, the previous agreement would take effect immediately, and the seaport where the fleet was stationed would be left for the permanent use of the Great Song Dynasty, and when the Great Song fleet returned, he would definitely send people to the north with the fleet to pay tribute.

In addition, the king took out three boxes of precious agate and 10,000 taels of gold, thanked the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty for their full help, and invited the Great Song Dynasty to leave an army to stay in the country of Srivijaya forever.

Lord Dai gladly accepted, returned to the port where the fleet was stationed with gold and jewelry, and told Yang Congyi and Zhao An about the garrison of the Three Buddhas.

Yang Congyi is inclined to garrison, but not much, just a few hundred people, because the Srivijaya country controls the east-west sea lane, which is very important for the connection between the east and the west, and after the fleet goes west, it will come back next year, and it is best to leave some troops here to take care of it.

Zhao An's opinion is that there are not many Xuanwei army personnel, leaving a battalion of elite in Zhancheng, ambushing the Morley family and losing more than 200 people, to leave another army here, the number of Xuanwei army is too small, I don't know what will happen to the West, it is better to bring more people over, the Three Buddhas think that nothing will happen again, there is no need to keep people for the time being, it is really necessary to keep the army, you can wait for the fleet to come back and pass through here before it is too late.

What the two of them said made sense, it was difficult to convince anyone, and in the end, Lord Dai was in charge, leaving 300 people in the port to garrison the Three Buddhas, maintaining contact with the royal family and the three major families, paying attention to the situation in the strait, and once something happened, they could find a way to notify the fleet or the Great Song Dynasty.

The next day, Lord Dai entered the palace again and told the king that the Great Song Dynasty would station an army in the country of Srivijaya with 1,000 men, but now the manpower was limited, and he could only garrison 300 people for the time being, and then increase the army when the fleet returned.

When Master Dai said this, he was very happy that the king of China was in his arms.

He thought about it for a day and a night, and completely calmed down, now he is not the opponent of the three major families, if they are forced to be in a hurry, the palace will really be occupied by them, but with the Great Song army, the three major families should not dare to mess around, and if he really has something, the Great Song army will not help him.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Lord Dai told the king that the Great Song fleet would pass through the strait and leave the Srivijaya Kingdom in three days, and then take his leave.

After determining the time of departure, the fleet immediately began to replenish supplies, this was the farthest area with the Great Song Dynasty, and further west, the fleet could not get the support of the Great Song court. In fact, in the nearly two months since arriving in Srivijaya, supplies have been replenished many times, and now only the ships are inspected for final replenishment.

The personnel stationed in the Srivijaya State have been determined, and the Xuanwei Army, which is led by Xue Wang and his battalion with only more than 300 people, is stationed here.

Yang Congyi told him that staying here is more important to the Great Song Dynasty than following the fleet to the Western Ocean, this is the channel for the Great Song Dynasty to communicate with the West, and there must be its own power, and it cannot be cut off by other countries at will.

More than 100 of his brothers died in this land, and the imperial court needed him to stay here, so he had no reason to leave, although the purpose of his joining the Xuanwei Army was to one day go on the Northern Expedition and restore the Central Plains in the north, but the Northern Expedition was too far away, and it was also a great merit to be able to defend this land.

Three days later, the king of Srivijaya personally came to the port to bid farewell to the Great Song fleet.

Taking advantage of the weak southeast wind, the Great Song Huiyi fleet left the port, crossed the Strait of Malacca, left the country of Srivijaya and headed for Tianzhu in the northwest.
