The sky was overcast, and the wind whipped up the waves and smashed them hard against the breakwater outside the port of Guri.

Guli Port is in the territory of the Hosara people, which was originally a small and inconspicuous harbor on the west coast of Tianzhu. Earlier, after the first war between the army and the Chola State, they signed an agreement with the Hosara people and obtained the lease of the port of Guli. Because the Hosara people were supported by the Lu Qi army in the war, they expanded their territory to the south. is a small coastal port, naturally not in the eyes of King Nuhana of Dorasamudra. Then, in just a few years, the old look of Guli Port has been renewed, and it has become a prosperous port on the west coast.

After Nuhana died of illness, his son Nana Senha succeeded to the throne, and still implemented the policy of hugging Lu Qichao's thigh.

At this moment, on the breakwater that doubles as a trestle bridge, dock workers wearing ponchos go back and forth, constantly using flatbed rail cars to pull away a cart of powder, lead, tin, copper, iron and other things, as one of the seaports that Lu Qi has on the west coast of Tianzhu, in wartime, it has naturally become a general reserve of military supplies.

There were also boxes of tightly sealed ammunition, dosing powders and warheads sealed in cardboard tubes.

Although in this kind of stormy weather, even if the seal is good, some of the medicine powder will be damp, but the military department does not care about this loss, and insists on asking the transport ship to go to sea in such bad weather, so what can the transshipment department as the transporter say? To ensure the safety of military supplies as much as possible, and to send some moisture-proof quicklime, it is already considered benevolent and righteous.

Subsequent ships followed into the harbor.

"It's a merchant ship of the Hossala people." Everyone on the wharf knows the details of the merchant ship "La Mattia", which is a large and medium-sized Chinese-style merchant ship of 5,000 materials, with a crew of 100 people, and operates the business from Nanyang to Guli Port all year round, and the people in Guli Port are very familiar with it.

"The people of Hosala are interesting." Lu Qi had just shown signs here, and Nasenha took the initiative to lean over.

"Their strength is still very weak, and if it weren't for our dynasty to suppress the Chola kingdom, I'm afraid that Kulu Tongga Chola II would have destroyed Dorasa Mudra. Even Lou Lou will not continue to exist as a betrayer. ”

In the Tianzhu War earlier, the people of Hosara not only stabbed the Chola Kingdom, but he approached Lu Qi, which was even more of a betrayal of Sha Louqi.

The dock official sat in his office, looking through the glass window at the busy ships in the harbor, and secretly recalled the current situation in Nantianzhu in his mind. "It's so bold to take that Senha."

After Bei Tianzhu was pocketed by Lu Qi, Sha Louqi and Zhu Luoguo are now full of vigilance against Lu Qi Dynasty, and Dora Samudra is also helping Lu Qi transfer military supplies at the moment, this matter is afraid that it will be difficult to keep secret, and when the news reaches the ears of Cha Louqi and Zhu Luoguo, the two countries are afraid that they will be more eager to deal with Nasenha and then quickly.

Of course, the relationship between the two countries was not very good, and after each other's ships met on the sea, they inevitably had to touch.

Although I don't know if this is acting or not, and pretending to be a delusion, the common people in China are now familiar with two sentences: the enemy of the enemy is the friend, and there is no eternal enemy, and there is no eternal friend, but only eternal interests. But it is also true that the Chola are now wide-eyed on the seas looking for the merchant ships of Shalouqi.

Now, some businessmen in Guli Port who have a strong sense of 'crisis' have begun to take precautions. In fact, it is a gamble, hoarding some goods in advance, and then waiting for a possible war to break out, so that they can make a fortune.

The War Department and the Transit Division certainly prefer the proximity option.

The "Lamatia" is not the only Tianzhu ship that has been "adopted" by Lu Qi. Now the Tianzhu businessmen are all running on the eastern front, who dares not to buy Lu Qi's face?

In fact, there were four Tianzhu merchant ships with them, which belonged to the Chola Kingdom and the Chalouqi respectively, and they were very harmonious with each other in the port of Guli, and there was no sign of enmity between them.

As for the merchant ships that converged on the port of Guri during these days, there were even more.

Speculators know no borders, they have a very keen sense of smell – in fact they always have some connections in politics, and it is not difficult to get some information – and then make predictions in advance, and then start buying and hoarding supplies on a spree.

Lu Qi didn't hide his unhappiness with the Heavenly World, especially with the Seljuk Empire. It is said that back then, that is, three years ago, Sanjar made great achievements, and in the first battle after leaving the customs, he targeted the traitor Hua Thorn Zimo, that is, Kang Juguo, which almost triggered the official war between Sarju and Lu Qi. At that time, Lu Qi had not completely swept away the hostile forces in Northern Tianzhu, and he did not retreat in the face of the menacing Sanjar, and the situation between the two countries was once tense and almost detonated Tianzhu.

It is said that at that time, Sanjar sent envoys to meet with Lutonga Chola II and Sumimuvara III respectively, and encouraged them to declare war on Lu Qi together. If this succeeds, it may not necessarily make Lu Qi taste failure, but it will definitely make Lu Qi lose one or the other in a short period of time, and it will be difficult to parry. However, Emperor Lu had the protection of the great gods, and the third emperor of Sha Lou Qi was terminally ill, and the replacement of the old and new kings was just around the corner.

Let Lu Qi'an safely annex the countries of Northern Tianzhu, and assist the Huathorn Zimo people with thousands of partial divisions, and easily repel the temptation of Sanjar, who came out of the customs after the 'internal merit'.

Sanjar obviously saw the opportunity, took a good chance, and made the right choice, and almost copied Lu Qi's back road, but the true god didn't bless him, and he ran into a pig teammate, so what could he do?

The morale has greatly decreased, the fighting spirit has declined, and if Lu Qi does not support, he may also take the initiative to retreat. It is futile to fight any longer.

However, that battle also completely knocked down the false smile between Lu Qi and Seljuk, and the foreign relations between the two countries were at a turning point - increasing tensions.

Now Lu Qihu is hoarding supplies, soldiers and horses in Ceylon and the South Seas, and gathering warships and sea ships, what is this about?

A lot of people think about war.

A few days ago, a large Luqi offshore fleet suddenly arrived at Guli Port, which is a commercial port. From the northwest of Guli, the boat can reach Zufarer on the Tianfang Peninsula for ten days and nights with a tailwind.

The latter is located in the middle part of the coastline at the eastern end of the Tianfang Peninsula, with a suitable climate, no shortage of water and soil, and salty grains, vegetables, fruits, and animals. The geographical location roughly coincides with the port of Salalah in later Oman.

That's a great place to stay!

Today, any businessman with a little insight may no longer have illusions about the peace between Lu Qi and the Seljuk Empire, and it is time to deal with the coming of war! Therefore, some well-informed Tianzhu merchants went to the nearby port of Guli, rented warehouses, and stocked a large number of various materials.

That is not at all worried about whether the various parts of the heavens will take the opportunity to cause chaos after Lu Qi and the Seljuk Empire fight. Whether the large amount of supplies they prepared for the benefit of the army will be used by the army to beat their motherland, no one cares!

Based on the purpose of making money, the practice of Tianzhu merchants was to send all the strategic materials they could raise to Guli Port, from small grains to large sulfur, saltpeter, copper and iron, medicines, canvas, cables, tar, as well as important strategic materials such as spirits, horses, bean cakes, and butter.

It's all about money!

Those golden and silver cuties are eternal!
