Chapter 947: Lu Qian is fishing!
Four gunboats and a sail warship escorted the transport ship "Qiongzhou" to the port of Guli.
Song Qing, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the cabin with the help of the secretary, he had no symptoms of seasickness, but who expected that the sea breeze blew halfway and started the heat, and as soon as his body was weak, the whole person was not good. At this time, when he saw Lu Zhiru, he saw his father and mother, as if the discomfort in his body was immediately alleviated a lot.
He really can't take the boat anymore, in his current state, if he continues, he will really die.
Like this trip, the fault is not that the itinerary is a little tight, he will stop in Ceylon. And as for why he didn't go to the Chola Kingdom, wasn't it because Emperor Lu wanted to fish?
Although he lived in the captain's room on the Qiongzhou, his body was weak, and that little preferential treatment was useless. For this reason, the fleet did not go directly to Bagula, the seaport closest to the city of Dorasamudra, but docked at the port of Guri and rested for several days before heading overland to Dorasamudra. In order to let Song Qing recuperate for a while.
After finishing Dorasamudra's trip, Song Qing would go to the people of Shalou.
The people of Hosara are a bottom line!
And with this as a foundation, the people of Shalou should not be too stubborn. And Lu Qi didn't want to really fight with him now.
You must know that the capital of Western Cha Louqi was originally Kaliani, and the Basawakaryan of Tianzhu in later generations was roughly located near Mumbai, of course, it is still a little far from the coastline. But it's true that the location is in the coastal plain!
But now that Jagad Camoro I had succeeded to the throne, he had moved his capital back to Merkade, although he had not been involved in the great alliance of Sanjar.
Merkade is the capital of the Rashdra Rakuda.
When China entered the Anshi Rebellion, the Rashidra Kuta people overthrew the Shalouqi dynasty for a time, established absolute hegemony in Southern Tianzhu, and then marched northward, mixing into the war between the two great powers of Northern Tianzhu, the Baltic Dynasty and the Ballihar Dynasty in their heyday.
The Three Kingdoms fought for a long time around the city of Qunu, and because a large amount of national power was wasted on the battlefield, the dynasty of the Rashidra people lasted only two hundred years, and they once again let the Shalou people turn over and take charge. The Baltic Dynasty and the Balikar Dynasty also collapsed, thus giving the Rajput people room to rise, and the Northern Tianzhu countries that were swept away by Lu Qi all the way, such as Johan, Palavala, Solanki, Tomara, Chalouqi, Karachuli, Chandra, etc., were all established by the Rajputs.
The political center of the Rashdra Rakuda people was in Merkade, on the South Decan Plateau.
Jakyad Camoros I moved his capital apparently to warn Lu Qi, the original Kalliani was too close to the sea, and there was no danger to defend. Just like Thanjavur in the Chola Kingdom, he was easily killed by the army of Lu Qi, who had the advantage in combat power. And if the capital of the Chola was not on the plains along the Cauveri River, but on the Deccan plateau, how could the Chola state compromise so easily?
Such a vast area, even if it is dragged, can exhaust the Chinese expeditionary force.
Therefore, the Western Chalouqi dynasty was wary of Lu Qi, that is, the Western Chalouqi dynasty was unstable.
Song Qing, an old comrade with a deep background, has been recuperating at home since he retired from the post of waiter in the Ministry of Rites due to physical reasons the year before last. It was only now that his health had improved, and he was appointed as a special envoy by Lu Qian, and he took a diplomatic mission of more than 30 people to Tianzhu in person.
Lu Qi has been based for 20 years, but he has never seen a clear foreign policy. The reason is very simple, diplomacy is first and foremost about strength, and if you don't have the strength, diplomacy can't be talked about. Like Oman and Seljuk.
Isn't there any country around Lu Qi who is qualified to talk to him?
His heart is not comparable to that of Ming Chengzu in history. The latter went to the West seven times, which was to vigorously promote a national prestige and China's 'political correctness', and for a time gathered many younger brothers and horses, but there was no actual demand for the land. However, what Lu Qian wants is to conquer!
For now, Lu Qi has been in power for 20 years, and the so-called diplomacy is to put my interests first. Dorasa Mudra is very obedient and knowledgeable, if he can keep it all the time, Lu Qian doesn't mind having an extra little brother of Nan Tianzhu, just like a flower thorn zimo person.
As for Dorasa Mudra, its aristocratic elite did not know much about Lu Qi, and their first impression of Lu Qi was the endless porcelain, silk and ordinary cotton textiles, the first two of which were the most popular luxury ornaments of the aristocratic class. The latter, on the other hand, is more aimed at the common people.
From the most sold calico cloth to ordinary dyed cloth and calico, and now the newly launched sheep blend and cashmere cloth that have been launched for less than two years, the latter two can finally be extruded for export.
Of course, Tianzhu also has cotton, and the history of cotton cloth here is longer than that of China, and even in the official history, it was not until the second half of the 18th century that Chinese cotton cloth replaced the first position of Tianzhu cotton cloth from the economic status.
In the middle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, cotton cloth was already one of China's main export commodities, but the production of domestic cotton was insufficient, so it was imported from Tianzhu and shipped to China to be woven into cloth, and then sold to Britain and the United States.
In 1762, when the British inventor Arkwright designed the first water-powered spinning machine, the amount of cotton consumed in Britain was only 1/6 of the cotton imported from Tianzhu in eastern Guangdong Province during the same period. By the beginning of the 19th century, the British Industrial Revolution had been going on for half a century, but the amount of Tianzhu cotton exported to eastern Guangdong and Britain was almost equal.
In this era, China still has to import Tianzhu's cotton, and secretly introduces Tianzhu's textile skills. In fact, the rapid development of Lu Qimian textile technology lies in the country's strong technical background, and on the other hand, Emperor Lu instructed the Espionage Department to quietly introduce the 'production and processing technology' from Tianzhu after conditions permitted.
From the completion of technology accumulation and upgrading, it quickly surpassed Tianzhu in the cotton textile sector.
Although it has to cross the ocean, Luqi cotton cloth is better than the local cotton cloth of the same grade in terms of pattern, quality, and economy.
From ordinary scarves, handkerchiefs, socks, burqas to simply cut ready-to-wear garments, Lu Qiren's success in the Tianzhu textile market is unquestionable. By the end of last year, the profit of textiles sold by Lu Quan, a small country now, had exceeded 500,000 silver dollars.
Not to mention the entire Beitianzhu. The market with a population of tens of millions opened to Lu Qi, and the sudden burst of power shocked the entire Lu Qi industry.
With the successful trial planting of high-quality cotton seeds from South America in the cotton plantations of North Tianzhu, a huge raw material supply base has been formed in the future.
Therefore, Tianzhu is still very important to Lu Qi. Although Lu Qian was fishing, he didn't want to see the fish struggle too violently and splash all over the water.
"Song Xianggong, it looks like your journey is not going very well." Dressed in a gorgeous national robe, Riantocho Luo spoke fluent Chinese, and stepped forward to support Song Qing, who was a little soft-footed. "Maybe we should have two days off first, your condition looks terrible." ”
He was the eldest son of Nathanha. Therefore, Yang Rong, the governor of Guli Port, gave up the first place.
"You're right, Prince Leandadora. I do need a break right now, and maybe it would be a good option to visit your father in a few days. Song Qing said a little weakly, and then he smiled bitterly, "Thank you for your welcome, if it weren't for the help, I would be twice as good as you." Thanks to the care of your father and son over the past few years, my family's business has become bigger and bigger. "After Nana Senha succeeded to the throne, Riantodra once took a trip to Lu Qi in place of his father, and he was received by Song Qing throughout the whole process.
Seriously, seeing the appearance of Riantodra made him feel like he had eaten a peace of mind pill in his heart. He felt that the city of Dorasamudra was no longer a problem.
