At noon, on the vast South China Sea, the blue sky and white clouds, seagulls flying, the blue sea, a beautiful scenery. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info/q В5.c0m\\

In the midst of the picturesque scenery, the two huge fleets were quietly facing each other several miles apart, the large Song military flag fluttered in the wind on the high sails of the fleet with more warships, and the navy was clearly visible from miles away, while the fleet with fewer warships hung the military flag of the three wiwisyayacs.

These two fleets were the Great Song naval fleet led by Zhao Lei and the defeated navy of the Three Buddhas led by Mahati who was preparing to defect to the Great Song Dynasty.

Ten days ago, Zhao Lei got the news that Mahati led the Sriwijaya Navy to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Lei after testing, came to the conclusion that Mahathir really sincerely surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of the dissuasion of Su Xun and others, tried his best to override public opinion, and Mahati set a time and place for a meeting, and was invited to negotiate with Mahathi.

Today is the time for negotiations, Zhao Lei led 5,000 people and more than 30 warships to this remote sea area, ready to negotiate with Mahathi, who also has more than 30 warships and 5,000 navy.

The fleets of the two sides were quietly facing each other, and when the Great Song Navy was surprised by the strength of the Sriwijaya Navy, the Sriwijaya Navy was also surprised by the huge size of the Great Song warships.

Two small warships slowly sailed out of the two fleets and headed towards the middle of the two fleets, Zhao Lei took Su Xun, Yang Jinhua and a translator proficient in Malay and two non-commissioned officers who rowed the boat, and did not bring any accompanying soldiers, and the sharp-eyed Zhao Lei also saw that there were only three generals and two rowing soldiers on the other side's small boat.

"Be able to kill from the naval encirclement of the Zhu Yuan Empire. The combat effectiveness of these navies must not be weak, plus more than 30 warships and 5,000 elite soldiers, these are what my Great Song Dynasty needs the most, so this negotiation is bound to win, I hope those Sriwijaya navies will not open their mouths! Zhao Lei stood at the bow of the boat. Looking at the Srivijaya boat that was getting closer and closer, he said to Su Xun Zhengse beside him.

"They won't ask too much, they are just the army of the Three Buddhas, it is estimated that they only seek a place to live, at most they are glorious and rich, these things, as long as they return to the Great Song Dynasty, they will not lose their land." Su Xun said with a smile to dispel Zhao Lei's worries.

The two ships were getting closer and closer, and Zhao Lei finally saw clearly the three admirals of Srivijaya Qi as the first one. He is about forty years old, with a sturdy figure, a face full of vicissitudes, and his eyebrows are full of perseverance. And the two behind him, one young and thin, but his eyes were crazy and full of murderous intent, and the bare skin outside the simple leather armor was covered with scars, and they turned out to be outlaws and mighty. The other is about thirty years old, calm and capable, and full of vigilance and thinking about everything. It seems to be the brains of the Srivijaya Army.

Just when Zhao Lei carefully observed the three generals of the Three Buddhas, Mahati was also looking at Zhao Lei and others, in their eyes, although Zhao Lei looked ordinary, but it gave them a lot of pressure from afar, especially Zhao Lei's calm and indifferent eyes, which made them feel that Zhao Lei was not a good person, and behind Zhao Lei, Yang Jinhua, who was full of curiosity and holding a silver gun, and Su Xun, who was calm and elegant, and had an unearthly temperament. All of them made a deep impression on Mahathi, Haji and Dona.

The two small boats gradually approached, Mahati looked at the unfamiliar Zhao Lei and the Song people, and asked Zhao Lei in a strange Malay tone: "The person who came is a Song official of the Shangguo University?" ”

The word Shangguo originated from the Tang Dynasty, which is the honorific title of most Asian countries for the Celestial Empire's Shangguo Shengtang, and since then all dynasties in Middle-earth have inherited this title, and Mahati also called Zhao Lei and others in this way.

The translator brought by Zhao Lei immediately translated the meaning of Mahathi's words and told Zhao Lei and others.

"This official is the Great Song Dingbo General, Zhao Lei, Zhao Sanjue!" Zhao Lei said loudly to Mahathir.

"Admiral Mahati of Sriwijaya has met Lord Zhao, the general of Shangguo Dingbo!" Mahati still has a certain understanding of the customs and culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and he also learned the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty, and said to Zhao Lei with his hands and fists.

"General Mahati came to the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what to do?" Zhao Lei said knowingly.

"The general of the defeated army, how can he speak of the army! Presumably Lord Zhao also knows that the Three Buddhas were defeated by the Zhu Empire and died in the country, our Three Buddha Navy, there is no motherland, and we are wanted by the Zhu Empire, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty is thirsty for talents, and is showing the navy, so the last general deliberately led his defeated army to defect to the Great Song Dynasty! Mahati is also a smart person, knowing that it is not good for them to talk too far from Zhao Lei, so he said directly to the point, and pointed to the fact that the Great Song Dynasty was extremely lacking in experienced naval generals and naval non-commissioned officers, and began to inquire about Zhao Lei's tone in order to defect to the reuse.

"I see! The Zhu Empire is really hateful, it is so rampant......" Su Xun heard Mahathi's words, and immediately began to speak at length, quoting scriptures and classics to criticize the Zhu Yuan Empire as worthless, making the head of the maritime merchant in charge of translation as big as a fight, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat in the hot June.

Su Xun began to talk Mahati, Haji and Dona and the three of them looked carefully, but they didn't hear anything meaningful in their ears, and the irritable Haji immediately couldn't listen to it, and said to Su Xun unceremoniously: "This adult! What are you talking about so much, the people on our fleet are all descendants of slaves, and they don't care who occupies Sumatra in the Zhulin Empire or the Srivijaya Kingdom, the most important thing is that we can fish and meat, glory and wealth, so that it doesn't matter whether the Zhulin Empire is rampant or the Srivijaya is righteous! ”

Haji's words made Zhao Lei and Su Xun slightly stunned, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and smiled sincerely.

Zhao Lei and Su Xun were worried at first that these Sriwijaya navies were surrendering by fraud, and they could not guarantee their loyalty, and at the same time they were a little taboo about abandoning the country and fleeing to the Great Song Dynasty at a critical moment, but now they heard that these people were originally born slaves, and they had no loyalty to Srivijaya at all, and all their doubts were solved, so they laughed happily.

"It turns out that General Mahati led his men to defect to my Great Song! Welcome, welcome! My Great Song Dynasty is vigorously developing its navy, and there is a lack of a naval admiral like General Mahathir, who has been in naval battles for a long time. Zhao Lei was relieved. Said affectionately to the three of Mahathi.

Mahati, Haji and Dona looked at Zhao Lei and Su Xun's expressions suddenly changed, looking at each other suspiciously, and finally Mahati came forward and said loudly: "Thanks to the praise of the adults, the last general wants to know how the Great Song Dynasty will arrange for us defeated troops?" ”

Zhao Lei pondered for a while, thinking of the importance of these Three Buddhas' navies to the Great Song Dynasty. He decided to give them one more chance, thinking of this, Zhao Lei said to Mahati and the others in a deep voice: "General Mahathi! Da Song will never treat the heroes who come to defect, so be it! This officer gave General Mahathir two choices, the first is to become a part of the Great Song Navy, and break up your subordinates to the various warships of the Great Song Navy, and General Mahati will command one of the fleets; Another way is to become a naval mercenary, Da Song gives you an island to live on the coast, and is not responsible for your life in normal times, if Da Song needs it. I will hire you to fight for the Great Song at a high price. ”

When Dona heard Zhao Lei's words, his heart also relaxed, what he was most afraid of was that the Great Song Dynasty would directly seize their military power, and they would be qualified to have glory and wealth without a fleet. And Zhao Lei's proposal shows that Da Song is absolutely sincere in accepting them.

"What is the difference between the treatment of regular soldiers and mercenaries?" Mahati pondered for a moment and asked Zhao Lei in a deep voice.

"The regular army participates in naval training, and receives a fixed monthly salary, solar terms, and rewards after the war. But they lost their freedom; Mercenaries, on the other hand, do not have to participate in naval training, do not have a fixed salary, and only have a hiring fee when they are hired. Even in the event of a war, there is no post-war reward, but there is a lot of freedom. Su Xun briefly explained the difference between the regular army and the mercenary army to the three Mahati and said.

Mahathi, Haji and Dona know very well that the so-called freedom in Su Xun's mouth is the right in their hands, that is to say, if they join the navy, they may not be able to keep the rights in their hands, but if they do not join the navy to keep the rights, they will not be prosperous and rich.

"How many regular soldiers are there? How many mercenaries are there? Dona was completely relieved of the sincerity of the Great Song Dynasty to surrender them, and looked at Zhao Lei with burning eyes and asked, you must know that their slave navy has never had its own money. Some were just rations and post-war victories, and they had long heard of the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were now most eager to hear that the Great Song Navy had preferential treatment.

"The treatment of the Great Song Navy is very generous, and the soldiers have two taels of silver per month, three stones of grain, one horse of silk in spring and winter, two horses of silk, half a horse of Luo, and ten taels of cotton; And when he became a mercenary, he received ten taels of silver a month when he was hired, but he had no rations or other things. Su Xun managed the logistics department of the navy for Zhao Lei, and he was very clear about the non-commissioned officers, and immediately answered Dona's question.

The Great Song Navy had two taels of silver and three stones of grain every month! Hearing Su Xun's words, Mahati, Haji and Dona looked at each other in shock, you must know that it is the same prosperous and wealthy Sumatran royal guards, and only one or two silver per month is worth one or two pieces of silver, and one or two pieces of silver in the Great Song Dynasty is equal to seven hundred and seventy Mo Mahati and others are also clear that the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are not only circulated in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but also strong in the entire South China Sea, which made Mahati and the three red-eyed.

As for the mercenary proposal, Mahati and the three of them immediately left it behind, you must know that the navy they led now lacks nothing but warships and people, and there are no bows and arrows, knives and guns, and food, what do they use as mercenaries!

"If I wait to join the Great Song Navy, what treatment will I have?" The three Mahathi, who came for glory and wealth, asked what they were most concerned about.

"General Mahati will become the former commander of the Great Song Navy, commanding a fleet of forty warships, with officials from seven grades, ten taels of silver per month, fifteen stone grains, and silk cloth and other salaries, while the other two generals, as the deputy generals of General Mahati, are the eight grades of official to Zheng, eight taels of silver per month, twelve stone grains, and the same silk cloth and other goods! And the Great Song Dynasty is preparing to open up the South China Sea, once the war ignites, it will be a matter of making meritorious contributions, promoting official wealth, and glory and wealth! Su Xun told Mahati and the three of them the settlement method that he had already discussed with Zhao Lei.

The generous treatment and the temptation of a bright future made Mahati and the three of them dizzy and immediately agreed to join the Great Song Navy.
