"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Tianxin responded obediently.

"Hehe, there are no outsiders, just call me husband."

Suddenly, a sea breeze blew, and Li Tianxin, who was only wearing a cheongsam, had a trace of imperceptible trembling, Li Nan noticed this, and hurriedly reached out and picked up the white bear skin that was placed on the side and draped it on her body.

Li Tianxin was taken aback by Li Nan's intimate actions, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, oh, no, husband, this is not good......"

"What's not good? Aren't you my wife? Li Nan spoke, and helped her tie the brocade ribbon of the big feather.

Seeing Li Tianxin's surprised and happy appearance, Li Nan hugged her and said softly: "Back then, I was worried about your young age and couldn't bear to hurt you, but later there were many things and I ignored you, I hope you don't blame me." ”

"Nope! No! No! When Li Tianxin heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty... Husband, the concubine has never blamed you! ”

"Hahaha!" Li Nan laughed and leaned into her ear and said, "It's good if you don't blame me, you take care of your body, I'll go to you again in the evening, let's have a few more children, okay?" ”

Li Tianxin's heart was full of happiness at the moment, and she responded softly: "Well, husband, the concubines all listen to you." ”

The two-year-old child was already able to eat some food, and Li Tianxin, who found that the baby was hungry, hurried to the cabin to feed him.

After seeing Li Tianxin leave, Li Nan looked around at the women around him and found that these concubines were really dressed very distinctively, and they seemed to be the credit of Pan Jinlian and Master Li.

"Golden Lotus!" Calling Pan Jinlian, who was wearing a maid's costume, Li Nan saw the white stockings she was wearing, and asked in surprise, "How did this come about?" ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't know, now that the textile industry of the empire is developing rapidly, this kind of stockings is no longer a rare thing, and it can be bought in stores everywhere."

"So the empire has grown to this point?" Li Nan, who had lived in seclusion in Maoshan for a long time, was really a little surprised to hear this.

Pan Jinlian looked at the sea in front of her and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, are we going to Tiannan this time?" ”

"Tiannan?" Thinking about the location of the Three Buddhas Kingdom, it is not wrong to call it Tiannan, Li Nan immediately smiled and said: "Hehehe, that's right, it's Tiannan." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine went to the Hall of All Nations and saw the world map, is the outside world really that big?"

"Well, it's big."

"Are you going to conquer all those countries and turn the whole world into the territory of an empire?"

"Hehehe." Although it was like a fool's dream, Li Nan thought about it for a while and said: "No one has ever done this kind of thing in history, everyone thinks that anyone who wants to conquer the whole world is crazy, but I still want to give it a try." ”

"Concubine believes you can do it!" Pan Jinlian said with great certainty.

Li Nan smiled and asked, "Why do you believe in me so much?" ”

"Because you can be trusted!" Pan Jinlian looked at Li Nan with admiration and said, "The concubine remembers that you were only the head of Yanggu County back then, but now you have become the ruler of the greatest country, because of these, I believe you can conquer this world!" ”

"Thank you for believing in me."

Li Nan looked at the endless ocean and said quietly: "Although it must be difficult to conquer the world, there will be many problems in the process, but time is not waiting for me. I hope that in my lifetime, I can do more for this country, so that even if there is a loser in the future, I can lose for a while. ”

The huge fleet sailed all the way to the south, and the islands it encountered along the way were all stone monuments erected by the Empire.

At this time, no one paid attention to the territory of the sea and the islands, but Li Nan, who came from later generations, decided to carve a mark on everything that belonged to him.

In the southern seas of China, there are two places that Li Nan is determined to take.

The first is the Malay Peninsula and the Sunda Islands, where the kingdom of Sriwijaya is located, and the second is Australia, which is a little further south.

According to the news that the Imperial caravan and fleet have returned, there are hundreds of thousands of aboriginal people living in Australia surrounded by the sea, and they are still in the primitive state of survival by hunting and gathering.

The Sriwijaya Kingdom is the choke point of maritime trade between the East and the West, and Australia has a vast territory and abundant products, and it is not difficult to take these two places, so it is naturally better to start early.

The ships traveled day and night, so the speed was fast, and in a few days the huge fleet from China arrived at the capital of the Srivijaya Kingdom, Zhanbei.

When the 'Sea King' and many Chinese warships anchored in the harbor, the king of the Srivijaya Kingdom, Tuobiluo, personally led all the royal families and nobles to greet him.

The so-called Srivijaya Palace is nothing more than a small two-storey building, which is called a royal palace but is really a bit pitiful, and the simple facilities are not even as good as some private inns in the empire.

Several concubines who followed Li Nan off the ship were very surprised and disappointed when they saw this scene, they didn't expect to sail to this place, but they saw this picture.

Li Nan had long guessed that these island countries would not be too prosperous, and he only valued the commercial and strategic significance of the place, not the country of Sriwijaya, so he was not too disappointed.

Most of the dishes at banquets in island countries are seafood, and the so-called welcome ceremony is just some singing and dancing.

At the feast, the lord of the Srivijaya Dhabira respectfully told his request, but it was nothing, he was willing to abdicate and cede the country to the empire, but hoped that he would take all his possessions and family to settle in the empire.

Although the empire's recent financial situation is not too good, Li Nan still looks down on the wealth accumulated by the lord of the Three Buddhas, and for the sake of the other party's wisdom, he fully agreed to Hubiluo's request.

As the so-called combination of grace and power, since all the favors have been given, in order to deter the people of Sriwijaya, Li Nan still asked the accompanying imperial fleet to prepare a naval battle exercise.

Dozens of Sriwijaya warships were placed at sea, and after ten imperial warships turned their sides to the target, all the artillery fired!

This time, in order to demonstrate the firepower of the Imperial Navy, all warships used new trigger-type gunpowder shells.

These shells bombarded the ships of Sriwijaya, and unlike previous naval battles, there was a violent explosion, which blew all the ships into sawdust and sank in an instant.

If the power of these Imperial Navy warships has stunned the people of Sriwijaya, then when hundreds of cannons on the 'Sea King' are fired in unison, continuously blasting the reefs on the shore to smithereens, the inhabitants of these islands have no heart to resist.
