Chapter 214: Surrender
At this time, whether it was Zhao Rui's side or Ma Yiren's side, except for Zhao Gong, they were all equally surprised.
Why, the two of them still know each other?
"Hahaha! Are you saying that because you are white-skinned, they will treat you as a king? ”
In the largest room of the Mayi tribe, Zhao Rui and Dalantai sat on the soft thatch, chatting for a while, and on the low table in front of them were all kinds of fresh local fruits from Mayi.
"Not all, because I have the ......force that no one else can match," Dalantai cut open a coconut and handed it to Zhao Rui.
"And because this ring is the inheritance of their tribe."
Dharlandet then showed the gold ring he wore on his chubby finger, engraved with Sanskrit, and set with a translucent emerald.
Zhao Rui talked with him for a while, and finally figured out why he ended up here, and he became the king of Ma Yi incredibly.
It turned out that after Dalantai returned, because of the defeat has not been reused, and because of the oppression of the upper officials, he injured the son of an important minister, and was later sent to the Yuan Dynasty's naval army, training in the Haizhou area, preparing to expand the territory through naval battles, or break through the Song army's defense line in the Yangtze River Valley.
But the important minister was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and even sent someone to secretly calculate Dharandai, and on another voyage to sea, someone drugged his food, and then was pushed into the sea.
Fortunately, it was the cold sea that stimulated him to wake up a little, so he did not drown immediately, so he forced himself to swim, and when he was tired of swimming, he floated, thinking that he had not seen the land after swimming to the west for two days, and Dalantai was even desperate under hunger and thirst, and he was lucky enough to meet Ma Yi's sea boat.
At that time, the king of Ma Yi went to Lin'an to do some trade, but as soon as he went to sea, he met the dying Dalantai, so he rescued him on the ship and took care of him to recover his health.
At that time, King Ma Yi saw that he was strong and powerful, so he wanted to treat him as a personal guard, but it happened that Dalantai was persecuted and lost confidence in the Yuan Dynasty, so he simply agreed.
However, on the way back, the ship encountered strong winds and waves, and then everyone died, except for the able-bodied Dharlanday.
Before he died, King Ma Yi passed the ring to Dalan Tai and told him the location of Ma Yi Kingdom.
After several difficulties, Dalantai finally arrived on Luzon Island, brought back the goods of the Song Dynasty, and informed the Mayi people of what had happened at that time.
At this time, there are people who can speak Chinese, and they can also communicate with Dharlanday.
Therefore, after the deeds of Dalantai spread, all the people of Mayi regarded him as destined to become their new king of Mayi.
It may also be that people who know Chinese deliberately curry favor with him, and more and more understand everything about Dalantai, and after another war with other islands, after Dalantai slashed the leader of that island, everyone regarded him as a god-like figure.
Dalantai is now in the hearts of the people of Mayi, not only the king but also their spiritual sustenance, and they feel that if they follow the king, they will definitely be able to live a good life.
So that's it......
Zhao Rui had no hostility with Dalantai because of Arjuna's relationship before, and now that he has broken away from the Yuan Dynasty, there is no hostile relationship.
"So you're living a good life here, and the more you eat, the fatter you get?" Zhao Rui said with a grin.
Just now, Zhao Rui also learned that the current Ma Yi is still in a state of interweaving primitive society and slave society.
Whether they are fishing or picking vegetables and fruits, they are all handed over to Dalantai and several other nobles, and any disputes, worship gods, and the future direction of Dalantai is up to Dalantai alone.
"Arjuna is alright...... Did she mention me? ”
Dalandet did not answer, and at the mention of Arjuna, he fell into an indescribable depression.
It's still a lover, and it hasn't changed at all......
Zhao Rui thought about it for a while and decided to tell the truth, "Arjuna has been fighting with me everywhere, I don't know if she talks to others, but I haven't mentioned you in front of me." ”
Darlan Taihu laughed self-deprecatingly: "I also know that I am too self-inflicted......"
Zhao Rui saw that he was low and wanted to persuade a few more words, and Dalantai continued: "You know, I still wanted to go to you at that time, Zhao Rui, whether you are a musket weapon or a strategy, you are rare in the world, so I think I will definitely be able to achieve a career with you, but whenever I think of Arjuna...... I just ate and ate until I was full of satiety, which made my body rush to laziness and paralyze my thinking......"
It's so miserable......
Zhao Rui suddenly noticed a few servant girls who stepped forward to pour tea and serve, and looked at Dalantai's eyes that were not as simple as subordination, so he raised his chin towards them and smiled: "Don't be so bitter, these girls are not satisfied with you?" ”
Dalantai also didn't expect Zhao Rui to be so sharp, embarrassed, and then laughed again: "This is also another good way to anesthetize me!" Ha ha! ”
"You, you......" Zhao Rui shook his head helplessly: "If you are greedy for pleasure, you still want to get involved with Arjuna." ”
"Okay, okay, don't mention her."
Then Dalantai asked Zhao Rui what happened to the two after they were separated, Zhao Rui picked up some important things and told him, Dalantai listened and felt that what was said was simple, and asked Zhao Rui about the details.
With Zhao Rui's telling, Dalantai's mood also rose and fell.
In the end, Dalantai couldn't imagine that Zhao Rui was already a prince with more than a dozen cities and an army of sixty or seventy thousand. is completely different from the self who enjoys himself every day, although there are some thrilling twists and turns, but this kind of life is also what Dalandai yearns for.
"Alas, I regret now more and more that I didn't go to you!"
"What's this, it's too late now!"
"Huh?"
"Dharlanday, this is an era of shortage of materials and manpower, and I am also facing constraints in all aspects, so I need and welcome you and your tribe to join."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Rui still opened the door to himself now, and Dalantai was pleasantly surprised, bowed to Zhao Rui, called the prince, and said how to be loyal in the future.
Seeing the old man and getting his help again, Zhao Rui was also very happy, and quickly helped him up to speak.
The future is the era of fighting the world on the ocean, the natural island environment of the Mayi people, and the developed fishing industry, and the old business of piracy, they are simply natural sailors!
As Zhao Rui's power grows bigger and bigger, and at the same time, he also rushes to the problem of lack of manpower, although there is a bit of a population advantage, but there are still not many satisfactory soldiers.
This is also very normal, some people you can train him to be a land soldier and a sailor, while some people may end up being a person who lives in confusion no matter how you beat and knead it.
And the addition of this group of Ma Yi people greatly alleviated the reality of Zhao Rui's lack of water army.
Originally, Dalantai still wanted to lead the crowd to live in Zhao Rui's territory, but Zhao Rui immediately refused, not to mention any humanistic plots such as the inseparability of his homeland, it would be a pity if this area was left behind.
Subsequently, Zhao Rui thought about the development strategy of common development and mutual exchange between the two sides, and prepared to build a shipyard in Mayi to produce a larger number of ships.
At the same time, some porcelain and ironware, and high-quality cloth will be provided to Ma Yi.
Dharandai has been with the locals for so long, and he can be regarded as having some feelings, and he is also very happy to hear that Zhao Rui's development plan can make the people live a good life.
Then, the bright-hearted Dalantai immediately gathered everyone and announced the important decision to join Zhao Rui, making it clear that the Ma Yi tribe must obey Zhao Rui's orders from top to bottom, and it was clear and affirmed that Ma Yi in this land in Luzon can only have a better life and a more brilliant tomorrow under the leadership of Zhao Rui.
The common people and nobles of Mayi were already frightened by the strength of Zhao Rui's power, and some of them also quietly went to see the huge ships moored in the bay, the hundred-meter hull and the towering mast made their group of natives feel deeply shocked.
They tried their best to imagine how such a big ship could be built. And it is said that this warship also has dense artillery, and after every loud bang, an irresistible iron ball will be shot, and the fleet of Fangcai's own tribe was defeated by this giant ship.
And now Dalantai, that is, their King Ma Yi said that he wanted to join Zhao Rui, which naturally made them a little incredible, and they were more excited in their hearts, not to mention the hostility, the key was the sense of security that depended on a powerful force, which was very fascinating.
As Dalantai knelt down to Zhao Rui in public, calling him the prince, the nobles and the people also shouted together, representing that Ma Yi had officially become Zhao Rui's power and sphere of influence.
Zhao Rui originally wanted to teach Ma Yi a lesson, but he didn't expect that Ma Yi's area would suddenly become his territory, and there was still such a large population.
It's worth the trip!
Zhao Rui then left Ma Yi with thirty fishing boats to temporarily make up for their lost boats.
Then Dalantai specially went to visit Zhao Rui's big ship, but Dalantai had seen some of the world after all, and knew that it was not difficult for the Song people to build such a ship.
But when he saw the two rows of guns in the lower cabin, he was still shocked, the materials and workmanship of these guns tended to be perfect, and when he heard about its great power, Dharlandai was a little eager to try.
Originally, he was a military general, and it was normal for him to be interested in weapons, so Zhao Rui ordered someone to fill the medicine and load the ammunition and test fire a shot at Dalantai.
There is a huge and towering reef in the reef area on the side of the bay, which looks like a shield, and some people use it as a symbol of protection, saying that this boulder can withstand all disasters.
Dharlanday was an outsider and didn't believe in this at all, so he adjusted the barrel and moved to the direction of the reef.
Aim, ignite, and the fuze's smoky eyes burn out instantly......
"Bang!"
The huge sound of cannons shook the lively Mayi people on the beach, and then the huge shield reef that has been so unruly from ancient times to the present day was instantly hit by cannonballs.
There was another loud bang, and the reef collapsed with a clatter.
With the shield boulder symbolizing protection being easily destroyed, no one in Ma Yi now dares to question Zhao Rui's strength, and even thinks that Zhao Rui should be higher than their King Ma Yi, and may be a figure like an immortal.
Zhao Rui was still on the boat, looking at the Ma Yi people on the beach, who were already kneeling down, bowing to the position of the boat, they called the prince, and at the same time their foreheads were already knocked on the fine sand.
