The Nanyang War only lasted for more than a month, and half of the processed food that Zhao Ji brought over was consumed, of which salt and tea were the most consumed, and they were almost used up. There is no way, the military cabinet can only ask for help from the political affairs hall. However, according to the original agreement, the military cabinet can only be self-reliant, and if it wants to ask for something from the government office, it must buy it with money.

In desperation, the military cabinet transported nearly 60,000 soldiers of the Chola Kingdom captured in the Battle of Jiatoha to the Great Song Dynasty to work as slaves in exchange for salt and tea supplies. Originally, according to the discussion of the military cabinet, all of these prisoners were to be buried alive, because there was no surplus food to feed the prisoners. It was not that the military cabinet was cruel and easy to kill, but that after the defeat of the Chola general, Moro actually burned the city of Jiatoha, and not a single grain of grain and grass was left in the city. This made the military cabinet of the military aircraft, which had been short of food, extremely angry, and ordered these people to be buried alive.

Sriwijaya was originally going to buy these captives as serfs, but the captives of Java had not yet settled down, and these captives were fanatical and difficult to control, so they gave up. In this way, the military cabinet will have to spend grain to feed these 60,000 captives of the Chola Kingdom, at least alive to let them arrive in the Great Song Dynasty.

The military cabinet was also depressed, and in order to exchange for salt and tea, it was impossible to vent its anger by burying the 60,000 prisoners of the Chola Kingdom alive. What's even more depressing is that the Great Song Dynasty did not have a slavery system, and selling them to the Great Song Dynasty as labor slaves was tantamount to saving their lives and making them the children of the Great Song Dynasty. It is conceivable that the gentlemen of the political hall will treat the group of captives like the people of the Great Song Dynasty, saying that they are slaves, but in fact they are just servants who do not receive wages for food and shelter. If the gentlemen also want to initiate the policy of indoctrination and indoctrination of them, it is likely that they will also be paid.

After the Battle of Katoha, the sailors launched a strong attack on the Nuren Islands, and the Chola sailors were unable to resist the onslaught of the imperial sailors after losing the support of the sailors on the west coast of Katoha. The original tactic of climbing the ship, after the study of the staff committee provided by the four universities under the jurisdiction of the military aircraft cabinet, came up with a good solution. Immediately, some experienced fishermen who had been engaged in marine fishing for a long time were sent over as staff officers to observe whether there were any ambushes of Chola sailors in the surrounding waters. Once there is an ambush, they will use fishing methods to deal with those Chola soldiers who are in the water.

Nearly 40,000 sailors of the Chola Kingdom were hunted and killed like fish in the sea by the imperial sailors, and finally gave up this tactic and led the troops to retreat to the defense of Xilan Island. However, the rapid consumption of military rations has caused a headache for the military aircraft cabinet. Zhao Ji proposed to send Pu Yuanyi as an envoy in the name of the Chinese Empire to persuade the Chola Kingdom to surrender, cede Xilan Island, and compensate the empire for the military expenses and grain and grass for the troops.

The military cabinet made changes to Zhao Ji's proposal and removed the money for the cession of Shilan Island. Pu Yuanyi did not fail in his mission, and the Zhu Luo Kingdom submitted a letter of surrender to the Chinese Empire, compensating 50 million yuan worth of gold, gems, spices and other items. However, not a single grain of grain was compensated. After receiving an indemnity of 50 million guan, the Imperial army withdrew from the Nude Islands and returned to Lingya Prefecture and Zhanbei City to repair.

The Nanyang War entered a period of truce. The Empire's determination to annex India remained unchanged, and the Chola Kingdom only exchanged 50 million stones that were worthless in the Chola Kingdom for a period of respite. It seems that this is contrary to the plan formulated by the Government Council to achieve a quick solution and occupy Shilan Island as soon as possible. However, according to Pu Yuanyi's report, there are signs of instability in the Pandya region of Chola Kingdom. The analysis of the military cabinet concluded that the Chola state was defeated and there would be a rebellion in their country.

After the Nanyang War entered the truce, Sriwijaya disbanded the army of various vassal countries, and the crisis of national destruction had passed, and Sriwijaya began to comprehensively rectify internal affairs and arrange production. With the supply of grain and grass from Srivijaya, nearly 800,000 people in the Great Song Dynasty could finally breathe a sigh of relief in terms of grain. In return, of the 50 million guan military expenditure, the Great Song accounted for 30 million guan, 10 million guan was handed over to the Tianjing Holy See, and 10 million guan was given to the Three Buddhas.

10 million guan, which is equivalent to the national tax revenue of Srivijaya for three years. With this 10 million yuan, Sriwijaya will have the financial resources to resume production. Of course, these tens of millions of guanzi are all jiaozi, not gold, gems and spices, and the gold and gems are all to be transported back to the Great Song Dynasty for storage.

Sriwijaya developed its internal affairs, while Chola continued to build up its troops. According to the military system of the Chola State, their army consisted of six undivided troops. They are: 1. The Kshatriya hereditary army, which is a standing army. Chola had a standing army of about 200,000. Second, the Libtuo mercenaries, which are recruited with money, are the same as the army of the Great Song Dynasty, they are all fighting for military salaries, and they are armies that make a living by fighting. Three, the Shlenny guild militia. They were made up of the craftsmen of the city, almost equivalent to the engineering regiments of the Great Song Dynasty, who only served the army with manual skills and generally did not participate in battles. Fourth, Amidora belongs to **, they are the army allied with the Chola State, and the Hou Shu Louqi State allied with the Chola State provided 10,000 troops to help the Chola State fight. Fifth, the Athabigarto tribal army, they are the army provided by some backward tribes of the Chola country. Sixth, the Vassal Army of Midoro was the army of the subordinate vassal states that submitted to the Chola State, and the Chola State had six vassal states, including Pandia, and each vassal state sent 10,000 men to help the Chola State in the war.

The Chola Kingdom continued to increase its troops and recruited another 30,000 men from the Vasdia, much to the dissatisfaction of the Vastellae. This was true not only of the Vassals, but also of other vassal states. After a series of additional troops, the total strength of the various armies of the Chola Kingdom reached more than 1.6 million people. Of these more than 1.6 million people, 1.4 million of them were deployed near the capital of Chola. In addition to increasing the number of troops, the Chola State also increased taxes, and the grain and grass in the last three years were collected in advance, and a large amount of grain and grass were hoarded in the national capital. This approach of the Chola State was to weaken possible rebellions in various regions in terms of manpower and material resources, and to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire.

The 800,000 people of the Great Song Dynasty are not idle, and they are making every effort to build Lingya Prefecture and build a super port city. The tiny island of Lingya is fully developed, and the port has been expanded more than tenfold.

Zhao Ji spent most of his time in the Yamen of Lingya Prefecture to read the script. There is a transcript of the Military Cabinet on the deployment and construction of the expeditionary force, a transcript of the implementation of the 10-year plan for the great rule of the world in the political affairs hall, and a transcript of Su Shi's personal submission about Japan's North Sea fishing grounds.

In order to control the fishing grounds in the North Sea, Japan sent troops to attack the Kukubu of the Ou Province, the Crab Country, and the Ezo National Treasury Division. With the support of the Great Song Dynasty, these four regions were quickly pacified, and Japan established four provincial-level administrative regions in Tokaido, Toyama Province, Hokkaido, Nagahado Province (later Sakhalin Island), and a large number of immigrants added prefectures. Most of the 100,000 families of the Great Song Dynasty who immigrated to Japan from Dengshu were located in Tokaido, and the new capital of Japan, Bunbunkyo (later Tokyo), was located in Tokaido.

"Su Shangshu, Su Shangshu. There's a whale! There really are whales in the North Sea fishing grounds! Now it's a big deal! When Su Shi was playing chess with Fujiwara Keiko and Zhou Gong in his arms, the excited shouts of sailors sounded outside the cabin.

Whales are treasures and have many uses. The killing of whales was specially explained by Zhao Ji, because Japan did not have the ability to kill whales, so in a certain sense, the Great Song Dynasty's control of the fishing grounds in the North Sea did not completely deprive Japanese fishermen of the right to fish, but only shared resources.

Su Shi was awakened by the shouts of the sailors, and his tentacles touched a soft thing, so he pinched it with his hand, smooth and warm, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out that his hand was on Fujiwara Keiko's chest. Keiko Fujiwara had already woken up, but she didn't dare to move, nor did she dare to wake up Su Shi, so she could only be held by Su Shi all the time.

Fujiwara Keiko is the youngest daughter of Fujiwara Yoritsu, a powerful minister who was killed in Japan, proficient in Han culture, talented, and became a geisha after Fujiwara Yoritsu was killed. When performing songs and dances for Su Shi, Su Shi took a fancy to him and accepted him as a concubine. This made Emperor Shirakawa envious. It turned out that Emperor Shirakawa and various daimyo tried their best to give their daughters to Su Shi, but they were all rejected by Su Shi, for them, if that woman got Su Shi's seed, it would really be the glory of a family.

Japanese women have a different flavor than Song women, which makes Su Shi addicted. Su Shi laughed, pinched Keiko Fujiwara's little nose and said, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Keiko Fujiwara hurriedly stood up and changed Su Shi's clothes first. After some tossing, Su Shi finished dressing, walked out of the cabin, and looked in the direction pointed by the sailor, there was indeed a jet of water spurting out on the sea in the distance, and several huge black shadows loomed under the water, it was really a group of whales. Su Shi waved his hand, and the warship adjusted its course and headed in the direction of the whale group.

The boat was busy with shouting and shouting, preparing all kinds of fishing equipment. This time, Su Shi took this warship to the sea, just to find whales and try to hunt and kill them. A sailor commander commanded the sailors to prepare the fish cannons, and carried the large sealed wooden barrels to the side of the ship, and the coils of rope were also placed one by one, one end was connected to the barrel, and the other end was knotted on the harpoon, and then the fish cannon was tightened, and a huge harpoon with a rope attached to it was put on the chute, and a group of sailors also prepared a harpoon with a rope barrel in hand, and stood on the side of the ship, with wide eyes, waiting for the boat to approach the whale.

The fish cannon is actually a large bed crossbow prepared for fishing, specially designed for killing whales. Su Shi watched this whaling operation very excitedly, Fujiwara Keiko didn't know when she got dressed, came to the deck, and saw that the sailors on the ship were busy, so she walked behind Su Shi and watched the whaling operation that was about to start with great interest.

The beauty appeared, and the sailor couldn't help but take a distracted look. However, it's just a glance, the first time to hunt whales, there can be no mistakes, Su Shangshu watched from the sidelines, if he doesn't do it well, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid the sailor won't be able to do it.

The flag waved, directing the operation of the sailor. The ship quickly approached the school of whales, and soon came within range of the bed ballista. Captain Wu nervously operated the fish cannon, aiming it at the largest whale in the group.

"Hurry, hurry." Wu Chang said. When the flag is waved, it may be that the speed of the sailors stepping on the water wheel increases, and the speed of the ship also increases.

Finally, there was a crisp sound of "collapse", Wu Chang pulled the bracket, and the big harpoon flew out with a swishing sound connected to the rope.

"Good, good. Medium! Medium! This bachelor wants to write a poem! Hahaha. The harpoon accurately hit the target's side and plunged deep into the belly of the huge whale, and a bright red immediately appeared in the seawater, and Su Shi shouted excitedly.

"Hit! Hit! The people on board also thundered with cheers.

The mid-forked whale was suddenly in pain, and immediately rolled over, stirring the surface of the sea, and then dived underwater, and the rope attached to the harpoon flew into the sea, and finally fell into the water with a large wooden barrel and rushed into the distance.

"Follow the bucket! Quick, follow the bucket! Captain Wu shouted.
