In this regard, the Khorasan side readily accepted it.

After all, Da Yuan is more than willing to be on the sea, but not enough. Things on land have not yet been settled, where is the energy to attack the sea.

It's just that the trade with the Song State is really exciting, and the Three Buddhas are stuck at the crossroads of the South Seas, which hinders Dayuan for many lives in vain.

That's why the navy showed off its muscles in Manraka to deter the nations.

The results are naturally satisfying!

Not long ago, at the founding ceremony, most of the envoys from small countries in Nanyang came. Even the small countries of Mayi in the South China Sea have sent envoys. It's just that they came too late, the ceremony is over, and they are still on their way.

At that time, the messenger of the Three Buddhas was also among the congratulations!

After the defeat in the naval battle, Sriwijaya ceded the port of Manraka within a radius of 100 li as the overseas military port of the Great Yuan. In exchange for Da Yuan's abandonment of attacking the capital of Srivijaya Bolinbang, and getting along with it.

The Dayuan merchant ships in the past naturally no longer have to pay huge transit fees to the Three Buddhas.

But cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!

Sriwijaya made his fortune by trading at sea. Suddenly not letting them collect huge transit fees is not going to starve them to death?

Even if the duty-free merchant ships are aimed at the Dayuan merchant ships.

Among the ships that could go to the Song Kingdom, the merchant ships of the Great Yuan accounted for seventy or eighty percent. Those Hui merchants who settled in the Three Buddhas in the early years all entered the nationality of Dayuan. Some Hui merchants who settled in the Song Kingdom also registered their household registration here in Dayuan.

These returning merchants who control the eastern route do not have to pay taxes.

Just over a year later, the Sultan of Sriwijaya felt a sharp contraction in the treasury. I heard that because of the great prosperity of the palace, the treasury can't come up with money.

Because of this, the three Buddhas, who have endured for more than a year, finally showed their fangs.

At this time, on the sea ten miles away from Nanwuli City, a fleet of ships was slowly rushing towards the coast. The crescent moon flag and sickle flag fluttering in the wind, which were the national and naval flags of Dayuan.

Li Dahai, the commander of the Navy, sat in the command room with a lot of space, looking at the latest battle report from Manraka Port.

"Wan Hu Chief, Dongzhu Port is fine, right?" , Some subordinates saw that Li Dahai was silent, and asked out loud. Dongzhu Port is the former Manraka Port. Li Chengji had the intention of making this place a sea fortress for Dayuan to enter the eastern route, so he changed its name to Dongzhu. It has the meaning of 'Oriental Pearl'.

"The ship burned down, but the city is still there." , Li Dahai said in a bad tone. Each of Dayuan's warships was built at a great cost of innumerable expense. In order to build a navy, Lee Seung-ji left one-third of the seized goods in the two districts of Gulsindh in Karachi.

Later, when he conquered the Hucha Spicy Country, Li Chengji only symbolically collected some treasures and antiques from the Hucha Sa State treasury. The rest was left to him to build ships.

Therefore, for the navy's warships, he is like a treasure.

"The warship burned and burned, and it was fortunate that it did not fall into the hands of the Srivijaya people." , some generals were relieved.

Dayuan's military ships were several times more advanced than the sea ships of Srivijaya. The size alone crushes the sea ships of Srivijaya. If the Three Buddhas get the sea ship of Dayuan, they will imitate it. That's not good for Dayuan.

"Hmmm! At the beginning of the construction of Manraka City, it was considered that the Three Buddhas would raise troops to attack. There were 2,000 defenders and a year's worth of grain and grass in it, and it was enough to hold on for more than half a year. A military general analyzed.

As for the military construction of Manraka Port, Li Dahai personally supervised it. A lot of manpower was mobilized to build a coastal city with Dayuan style on the original site.

And it is divided into sea and land.

There are several waterways on the sea, including the wharf. If the enemy attacked, the Dayuan defenders would block the waterway, making it difficult for the enemy to get close.

On land, the city walls were built. It's Dayuan's cement!

For this purpose, a cement plant was specially built in Manraka.

Such a combination of land and sea allows Dongzhu Port to have enough strategic buffer time.

Considering that the city still has to be defended by people in the end.

Li Dahai also formed a garrison of 2,000 people in the local area. Those are all Gur recruited in Karachi, they are all from mountain tribes, and their combat effectiveness is not bad. He was trained enough to deal with the dwarves of the Srivijaya.

It's a contemptuous appellation.

The natives of the Three Buddhas are not as tall as the people of Dayuan. This is determined by innate conditions. The local natural environment and climate determine the local race.

But it's not enough to have only soldiers!

If Dongzhugang wants to gain a firm foothold, it also needs people.

For the local natives, Li Dahai is always on guard. Therefore, the Dayuan criminals who were exiled overseas were all brought to Dongzhu Port to develop economic construction.

This has also made the local popularity more and more sufficient.

However, the operation time of Dongzhu Port is still too short, and Li Dahai is too eager to advance and seek speed. As a result, the Sriwijaya people took advantage of the loophole, taking advantage of the founding of the Great Yuan and the navy to relax its vigilance. colluded with the city's fine work, and the cooperation between the inside and the outside, so that Dongzhu Port had a leak.

Listening to the analysis of the generals at this moment, Li Dahai was a little annoyed and didn't want to think about it. He walked out and asked aloud, "How long will it take to get to Nanwuli?" ”。

"There are still nearly two hours to go back to the head of a thousand households." , a petty officer in charge of recording the voyage immediately responded.

"Hmmm! Open all the muzzles! The Sultan of the Southern Witch Kingdom has been killed, and now he is the new Sultan supported by the Srivijaya people. ”，

All the small countries close to Da Yuan have been purged by the Three Buddhas, and it seems that this time the Three Buddhas want to have a fish with the Great Yuan.

"Yes!" , everyone received the order, and hurried down to arrange.

This time, in order to solve the hidden danger of Sriwijaya once and for all, Li Dahai brought out three big treasure ships. Now there is one more in addition to Karachi, and one in Dongzhu Port has been burned, and there is no more.

This kind of ship was improved by Li Chengji based on the 'lucky boat' of the Ming Kingdom two hundred years later. Just like Zhou Shiren saw, it was as tall as a building. The bottom of the ship is pointed, and the higher it goes, the more open it becomes, and the bow and stern of the ship are raised high, giving it a majestic look.

At present, the treasure ships made by Dayuan are all six-storey. The lower deck is filled with earth and stone ballast, the second floor houses all kinds of weapons and food reserves, the third and fourth floors are for soldiers, and the fifth floor is the deck, which is the place of battle. There is also a small command room above the deck, which is convenient for keeping abreast of the battlefield situation and directing the battle situation.

Looking at the South Seas, there is no ship bigger than the big ingots. The last naval battle with Sriwijaya scared a number of small maritime countries to death.

In order to maximize protection, the outside of the treasure ship is also covered with iron sheets. Normal fire attacks and rammings are completely ineffective against treasure ships. In terms of power, Lee Seung-ji is a combination of wind power and manpower.

On either side of the bilge compartment, there is a row of oars. There were plenty of donkeys, mules and horses in it so that they could run and drive the oars when needed.

In fact, Lee Seung-ji prefers to use steam kinetic energy!

It's just that the application is not mature now, so only some primitive kinetic energy can be used.

In addition, Li Dahai also brought some fast clipping boats. Compared with the large size of the treasure ship and the sluggish steering. Clipping is much more flexible. Sometimes, when surrounded by enemy forces, the treasure ship may not look at the end. The role of fast clipping is reflected.

When chasing enemy ships, the clipper ship is also faster than the treasure ship. It is perfect for cleaning up the battlefield.
