The Strait of Malacca is named after the ancient city of Malacca, the capital of the Malacca Dynasty, which was established by the Malays in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula more than 700 years later.

At present, the names of this golden waterway are different, and the Tang Dynasty merchants called it the Golden Strait because of the gold produced on Sumatra Island on the south coast of the strait, and Zhang Qin and others of the Nanyang expedition also used this name.

In Li Yu's view, it is inappropriate to call the Golden Strait after all, and it cannot continue to be called by Westerners in later generations.

Since Li Wenchang entered Singapore Island, he has vigorously expanded Yeefon Port, and the berthing conditions of the port have been upgraded to the first in the South Seas, surpassing Palembang, the capital of the country, which is currently the largest port in the South Seas.

Singapore Island is also stuck in the import and export of the Taiyin Strait, and the geographical location is extremely advantageous, and merchant ships traveling between the east and west oceans will inevitably pass through here. Since the Tang army was stationed to repair and expand the port, many merchant ships chose to anchor here to rest and buy and sell goods. In just three or four months, Yeefon Harbour and Woody City, ten miles to the northeast, have become more and more prosperous under the leadership of a group of merchants.

The Puluo Governor's Office made a lot of money just by collecting port taxes, and the impact was that as a great power in the South Seas, the port taxes of the two countries of Sri Buddha and Mora You, who respectively controlled the passage of the Taiyin Strait, were greatly reduced. The magnates of the two countries were particularly jealous of the newly emerged Tang forces.

As the saying goes, taking someone's money is like killing your parents.

The Puluo Governor's Mansion snatched food from the bowls of the two countries, which was an enmity against each other.

As the former overlord of the South Seas, although the sun has set, it is no longer what it used to be, and its strength is still strong, ranking second in the South Seas. The position of the overlord of the South Seas and the first power was replaced by Sri Buddha, who had newly emerged in the south of Mora Yu and had the capital of Palembang.

In recent years, there has been a great deal of fighting between the two countries over control of the maritime trade, with Sri Buddha on the offensive and Mora on the defensive.

Two years later, Sri Buddha would gradually conquer the small states of the Malay Peninsula and control the Kra Isthmus to the north, and seven years later, Mora You was defeated by Sri Buddha and achieved complete control of the Taiyin Strait.

It can be seen that the forces of the Tang Dynasty suddenly reached into Nanyang and grabbed food from the bowls of the Nanyang countries, which made the two sides of the Tang Dynasty, who were fighting their heads and bleeding, call off their troops and make peace, and sit down to discuss jointly dealing with the Puluo Governor's Mansion set up by the Tang Dynasty in the Luo Yue Kingdom.

Both countries have sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the giant of Haibei in front of them, to pay tribute, and they know very well that the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty is not something that their family can deal with. At present, the only way to unite is to jointly expel the Tang Dynasty's power in the South Seas, otherwise if the Tang Dynasty's Puluo Governorate continues to develop and gain a firm foothold, the merchant ships will go to Vivoport on Singapore Island to anchor and trade. In a few years, the two countries will lose their financial pillars, such as port taxes and toll taxes, which will lead to the country's poverty becoming more and more weak and being wiped out by other countries.

The reason for the decline of Mora You and his replacement by the death of Sri Buddha was that he lost control of the Taiyin Strait. Sri Buddha also had trade with China in the territory, which could replace the resin from Persia and India, so that Palembang replaced the city of Mora as the largest port in the South Seas.

The two countries deeply understand that in the South Seas, the relationship between the rise and fall of the country is the control of maritime trade, and whoever controls the maritime trade can force passing merchant ships to berth at their designated ports and pay the toll tax and port tax, thus making the country rich and strong. Without the right to trade at sea, the country will be destroyed step by step.

After the death of Mora You and Sri Buddha, they reached an agreement to jointly send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty's Puluo Governorate, and each began to gather their own armies.

Both countries are based in the southeastern part of Sumatra, and if they want to defeat the Governorate of Pulau on the island of Singapore, it will inevitably require a large fleet to transport troops and food, and achieve a naval blockade of the island in the event of war.

The two countries have chosen to call in the Aurang Lauts who live on their behest, on and off the coast of Sumatra, on and off the coast of Sumatra.

The Aurang Lauts are known as the gypsies of the sea, mainly living in the coastal and archipelago areas of Sumatra Island on the southern shore of the Taiyin Strait. They are born with excellent naval forces, so they have also become the object of the indigenous kingdoms in the South Seas to control and form their own naval forces. Use them to protect your country's sea routes and ports from pirates. It was also used by the indigenous kingdoms to intercept merchant ships that passed through the seas under their control without paying the toll tax.

The two countries intensively prepared for war, and successively gathered 20,000 land divisions and 15,000 navy composed of Auranglauts. On the way, in order to prevent accidents, the two countries also contacted the kingdoms of Pahang and Ganga and a number of Malay tribes on the polar peninsula that were enemies with Luo Yue, and attacked Luo Yue, which had become a Tang vassal from the land.

As soon as the rice planted in the rainy season matured and harvested, the combined forces of the two countries formed a huge fleet driven by the Auranglautes and boats to kill northward.

A coalition of 5,000 men from Pahang, the Ganga kingdom and a number of Malay tribes marched south. According to the agreement with Mora You and Sri Buddha, after the defeat of the Luo Yue Kingdom and the Tang Pu Luo Governor's Palace, the Luo Yue land will be divided to the Pahang and Ganga kingdoms, and the Malay tribes will receive a part of the money. The island of Singapore was divided between Mora and Sri Buddha.

King Sri Buddha called himself a dragon spirit, and his people's calculations were so strong that the combined strength of the kingdoms of Morayu, Pahang, Ganga, and the Malay tribes was equal to that of his kingdom. The coalition won this battle, and Sri Buddha relied on his strong strength to immediately turn his face and deny people, drive Mora You away and occupy the island of Singapore, and then encroach and destroy the countries around the Taiyin Strait step by step.

The Four-Nation Coalition and a number of Malay tribes raised troops to attack, and Li Wenchang had already gotten the news from Chinese businessmen. Ordered the king of Luo Yue to increase the height and strengthen his national capital, and when the enemy came to attack, he could not hold out. At the same time, 600 young men of the 1,000 people who had been moved were armed, and 3,600 of the horned guards were available.

The South China Sea Fleet's Puluo Squadron stationed at Yifeng Harbor had only five warships, one each of the mixed yuan ships, the building ships, the shipwrecks, the walkers, and the sea falcons. Even if the smallest warship of the Tang Army is larger than the enemy warship that comes to attack, it can't withstand the many enemy warships.

The Aurang Lauts drove the sampans and boats that were overwhelming on the sea to fight, and the Tang Army's warships could be besieged and beaten immediately when they sailed out of the port.

The Polo detachment wisely chose to strictly defend Yifeng Harbor, and used the winch crossbow equipped on the ship to shoot at the enemy ships from a long distance, and fired a large arrow as long as three feet, and the arrow alone was seven inches long, five inches wide, and three feet long, and the shaft of the arrow was three feet, and it instantly penetrated the sampans and boats of the Aurang Lauts. As the enemy ships approached, they spewed fire downwards with fiery oil tanks, and the men, armed with crossbows far farther than those fired by the Aurang Lauts, and cooperated with the horned guards guarding the harbor, to repel five enemy attacks.
