A sea encounter, with four galleys on one side and seven Arab galleys on the other, took an hour and a half, or three hours, and the last galleys disappeared into the sea, leaving only three torches and four fragments of ships, and the four galleys unscathed. This is the power of technology, those Arabs are no less familiar with the sea than the Tankas, and they are all good sailors, and maybe they have the ability to fight in close combat. It's a pity that they can't use any of these abilities when fighting the sailing warships, and they can only watch their ships set on fire, their sailors damaged, and their sails burned.

The rest was easy, the two boats released the lifeboats in place, and used hooks and crossbows to get the people in the water one by one and tie them up, and then send them to the big boat. The other two ships turned around and returned to the waters where the war had begun, and cleaned up the waters around the three still burning pulp boats, and brought them up as long as they were alive.

"Captain, a total of 177 prisoners, we have no casualties, but the port side of the Qiongzhou has been hit, it has been checked, and it does not affect the continuation of the voyage. The goods are not there, they are all sunk, but a lot of bits and pieces were found from them, is this their country's money? When the sun sank into the sea, and the salvage was over, Boyu contacted the other three ships through the flag, reported the final statistics to Hong Tao, and then took out a gold coin.

"Well, probably...... Let's take it and play with it. Let them send them all over, and I'm going to ask them myself. First of all, divide the prisoners on our ship into five teams, and bring them to the stern tower one by one. Hong Tao didn't know Arabic, but he thought that some of these Arabs should know Chinese. After all, they were a merchant fleet going to the Great Song Dynasty. As long as it's not the first time on the voyage. There should be people who know Chinese, and maybe there are people who have settled in Guangzhou or Quanzhou, you can try.

"I'll just say it once, and there's only one chance, and I'm even more ruthless than you in how you treat your captives. Listen clearly now, who will speak the Great Song dialect, stand up! "Soon. A group of shirtless, bearded Arabs were brought up, and Hong Tao shouted a word at them, then stared into their eyes.

"Next team!" After a few seconds, Hong Tao gave up on the group.

"Looks like I'm too kind, Po Shrimp, call Carl over to me and let him interrogate. Tell him that I will give him all the rights, in any way, before dawn tomorrow. I have to find someone who can speak Chinese. After trying two more teams, Hong Tao gave up halfway. He felt that there must be people who could speak Chinese among the three pairs just now, but none of them stood up, why Hong Tao didn't know, but he knew what to do.

When I returned to the captain's room and drew the charts for a while, there was a burst of Arabic shouting and screaming from the deck. Hong Tao knew that it was Karl who came, and that this European knight's hatred of the Arabs had gone beyond religion, so Hong Tao did not intend to interfere with Karl's work. These Arabs had no chance to be slaves, and most of them would be put to death, but Hong Tao did not intend to kill them at sea, and their death should have been more meaningful.

Carl this guy is such a sadist, he vented his anger that he had a home and couldn't go back to these Arab sailors, and the screams on the deck didn't stop until Hong Tao fell asleep, in fact, Hong Tao didn't listen for long, and fell asleep in less than ten minutes after going to bed. Whether it is those screams or scolding, it can't affect his thick nervous system, he can sleep with a sixth-level wind blowing on the sea, and a few people's cries can be more terrible than the gale?

"My lord, the task you gave me has been completed, and there are a total of five people who can speak the Great Song dialect." The next morning, there was a knock on the door of the captain's room, and it was Karl who entered, his face more excited than tired.

"Oh, tell me, how did you get them to speak?" Hong Tao was not surprised, but a little curious.

"I cut off the three of them, and if no one admitted it, I cut them all off, and someone automatically admitted it, and it was as simple as that." Carl said as he compared his hand to a knife, gesturing back and forth under his crotch.

“…… Is this a religious taboo for them? Hong Tao shuddered involuntarily, he didn't expect Carl to have the potential to be an executioner, really perverted.

"You can't go to heaven after death, you can only go to hell......" Karl accentuated.

"Well, the gold and gems that were recovered from the captives are yours, and by the way, scatter them on the other three ships. Forget it on your ship, we are not barbarians, we are civilized people, and civilized people must use civilized means, understand? Hong Tao began to drag words again, Carl and Bo Jiao were not so shameless before, they were all taught bad by him, but he never admitted it.

What are the means of civilized people, Karl quickly saw. The next day the four sailing ships found a medium-sized harbour on the west side of the island of Ceylon, and rushed in, and before the people in the harbor could see what they were, the three slurry boats moored at the quay turned into torches, and then hundreds of black little ones flew out of these four boats, and many buildings near the harbour were also on fire.

Anyone who tried to approach the four large ships was shot, and then several small boats began to land with the men on the large ships, and one after another of men in black jackets and white trousers with spears and crossbows and arrows soon occupied the buildings near the pier, and searched the Arabs from house to house, and as long as they were dressed like them, they were immediately arrested, and those who resisted were immediately shot to death.

The people who landed behind pushed more than a dozen wheelbarrows to move forward to the big house a few hundred meters away from the wharf, which should be the highest authority in this port city, because only its building was the largest, which was about the same as the big restaurant in Guangzhou, and it was still two floors.

There was still resistance, and out of that big house rushed out the hundred-and-ten men with scimitars, shields, and heads wrapped around them. Before they could finish their formation, several small iron balls flew out of the wheelbarrows and threw them directly into the crowd, one of which exploded above their heads. As a result, they ran back faster than they came out, and in an instant there was no one at the door of the big house, and only a few of the injured people were still crying on the ground.

Then, a chubby Arab man walked up to the door of the big house with a white flag and began to shout at the people on top of the house in the local language. The process was a bit long, he shouted a few words, and ran back to ask, and immediately someone on the wheelbarrow began to gesture with two small flags to the boat in the harbor, and the boat followed suit, and then the fat man ran back and shouted again. After going back and forth more than ten times, the fat man was almost out of breath, and the door of the house was opened, and an even fatter black fat man, escorted by a group of local samurai, walked out and was carried by a wooden plank towards the dock.

Seeing that his sailors had taken control of the port, Hong Tao went ashore in a small boat and began friendly negotiations with this fat black man who claimed to be the prince of Ceylon, and this port called Kabalan was the prince's domain, and he was the supreme governor here. However, the place of negotiation was chosen at the dock, in the open air, with a small boat behind it. Hong Tao is now very jealous of the land, except for Jinhewan, he doesn't want to stay anywhere longer, as long as he finds something abnormal, he dares to turn around and get on the boat and run.

What is this prince's name? Can't tell everyone! Why, because when I write it, people must say that I am irrigating. Every Sri Lankan has a long name, to say the least, there are five bars, and the higher the status and the greater the origin, the longer the name. In addition to their first and last names, they had to write down their families, territories, official positions, religious beliefs, personal hobbies, ideals, and ancestral achievements, which sounded like a piece of prose, with only the last stanza being his name, and the first stanza being his surname, and the prince's surname was Vijaya, and his name was Taba.

When Hong Tao introduced himself, he didn't just talk about Jinhe Marine Resources Management Co., Ltd., which is not prominent now, and he can't bluff people. So he brought out the Southern Song Dynasty court outside of his words, and it sounded like Jinhe Marine Resources Management Co., Ltd. was the official organization of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it didn't say it explicitly, let alone fall on the words, which is called fooling people.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the Arab merchant ships docked here had attacked the merchant ships of the Great Song Kingdom, Prince Taba's already small courage was a little less. The Song Kingdom, a big country in the East, didn't come much before, but it was too big for the Lion Kingdom. Moreover, the warships of the other people have already come, and there are still four of them, and they are so huge, higher than the palace of Taba, that the Arab ships are short and poor compared to them, and the two sides together cannot defeat them. The thunder-like magic just now had scared the prince's guts, and every time Hong Tao raised his hand, he couldn't help but cover his head, for fear that a thunderbolt would come down.

I'm scared! That's easy to do, Hong Tao's ability to pretend to be a ghost is also one top one. Whenever this time, he misses Ouyang Qing very much, if that guy can cross over with him, he doesn't have to go into battle in person, and in less than a day, Ouyang Qing will definitely be able to become the protector of the Lion Country.

Hong Tao danced in the vernacular for a long time, and the central idea was that his fleet was attacked in the waters of the Lion Country, and the Lion Country had an unshirkable responsibility! Therefore, it is necessary to compensate, what the Arabs have to pay is their lives, the Lion Kingdom is an unintentional mistake, just lose money, our Song people are very reasonable, we know that you are poor, but it is not too much to pay a piece of land, right? This piece of land is not in vain, give you three jars of divine oil, three jars of sugar, and the residential area next to the wharf that has been burned to the point will belong to Jinhe Marine Resources Management Co., Ltd. (To be continued.) )
