Chapter 498: The Island of Ceylon

Li Su wanted to give firearms to Li Zhen and Li Yun, which made them a little embarrassed, and Li Yun even wanted to give some money to make up for Li Su's losses, after all, more than one million firearms, no matter how rich Li Su was, it was not a small amount.

Seeing that Li Zhen and Li Yun were ashamed, although Li Yu smiled secretly in his heart, he thought about it for a while, and then said righteously: "I don't want money, you will have more places to use money in the future, but it just so happens that I also want to establish a stronghold in the west, which is not only convenient for you to transport materials, but also convenient for merchant ships, so you will go to Tianzhu in the future and help me build a place as a stronghold, even if it is against the payment for this batch of firearms!" ”

Hearing that the sixth brother only needed a piece of land from Tianzhu, Li Zhen and Li Yun were even more embarrassed, because in their opinion, they took such a big advantage from Li Su, but took a piece of worthless land to pay off the debt, which was almost like giving it away for nothing.

Originally, Li Zhen and Li Yun wanted to say something more, but they were interrupted by Li Su: "Okay, this matter is settled, someone will send the information from Tianzhu in a while, and there is also a copy of the latest map of Tianzhu, but my people can't go deep into the inland of Tianzhu now, so they can only draw the coastal terrain of Tianzhu." ”

"Thank you, Sixth Brother, you have helped us enough!" Li Zhen and Li Yun were overjoyed when they heard that there was another map, although they had seen Li Su's world map and knew the general shape of Tianzhu, but they were far from meeting their requirements for marching, after all, no matter what era it was, the more detailed the military map was, the better.

"What do our brothers say thank you. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to the sixth brother! Li Su said very generously. At the same time, my heart is full of joy, and that treasure land is about to arrive.

The three brothers sat together and chatted for a while. Li Su also gave Li Zhen and Li Yun some suggestions for their future actions, mainly to let them not rush to expand after they arrived in Tianzhu, but first occupy a foothold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then send most of the grassland army there, while adapting to the climate there, while exploring the surrounding situation, and then slowly expanding outward. Moreover, it is also necessary to pay attention to using some diplomatic and gentle means to unite some local forces, and absolutely not to make enemies everywhere, otherwise no matter how strong their army is, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand the attacks of all the forces in Tianzhu.

Although Li Zhen and Li Yun also understood these words, these words were an elder brother's concern for his younger brother, so they also listened very carefully, and Li Yu also promised them the food, equipment and other things they needed in the future. can all be purchased from him, and the price is definitely lower than Datang's, which also makes Li Zhen and Li Yun very grateful.

While the three of them were chatting, Yang Shi suddenly walked in. He came to send information about Tianzhu, and Wu Meiniang was personally responsible for this matter, after all, Li Zhen was Wu Meiniang's husband. His future development is also related to the happiness of the beautiful girl, so Wu Meiniang is the sister. Naturally, she has to check it herself, but now she is talking to Mrs. Yang about her homesickness in the past few years. I didn't have time to come at all, so Yang Shi sent it over.

After letting Yang Shi retreat, Li Su and the three of them began to look at these information, in general, this information is much more detailed than the previous information, not only introducing the various forces on the southern coast of Tianzhu, but also briefly describing the relationship between the various forces, as well as the maximum combat power that these forces can go out and so on.

In addition, there is a map of Tianzhu, although this map is very simple in Li Su's opinion, but for Li Zhen and Li Yun, it is a treasure that cannot be changed, on this map, the most conspicuous is the Jieri Dynasty that lives in the North Tianzhu, also known as the Qunu country, the current king is the King of the Jieri, the capital is the Qunu City, which is now the most powerful force in Tianzhu.

In addition to the Jieri Dynasty, there are also several larger forces in the south, among which there is a dotted line marked area, here is the Shalouqi Dynasty, which used to be the overlord of Nantianzhu, and also repelled the attack of the Jieri King back then, but unfortunately the Shalouqi Dynasty lost to the Panavas in the war two years ago, and now the country is destroyed, and the capital is also occupied, but the rule of the Panavas is not stable, and the Shalouqi people still retain a strong strength, and now they may return to the country at any time, so this is marked with a dotted line.

In addition, the Panavas also have their own dynasty and are now the overlords of the south for the time being, but according to the estimation of the intelligence system, the Panavas have a shallow foundation and are likely to be replaced by the Shalouqi people again. In addition, there are also forces in the south, such as the Qu Zheluo people and the Zhaohan people, although these forces are not as good as the Shalouqi and Panavas, but they are also regional overlords and the main opponents of Li Zhen and Li Yun in the future.

Li Zhen and Li Yun looked at these situations while comparing them on the map, and engraved these forces and their locations deeply in their hearts, although they did not choose these big forces in recent years, but it is not harmful to know more now, and nothing is absolute, maybe they don't want to provoke others in recent years, but people may take the initiative to provoke them, so they have to guard against it.

After finally verifying the map and information, Li Zhen and Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Li Su: "Sixth brother, Tianzhu's maps are all here, you see which piece you want, we will help you knock it down!" ”

When Li Zhen was talking, he and Li Yun's eyes were always staring at North Tianzhu, especially the Ganges River Valley, which was the richest and most populous place in Tianzhu, so they thought that Li Yun would definitely ask for a piece of land somewhere in North Tianzhu and then establish a stronghold.

However, Li Su looked at the map with a smile, and then stretched out his finger and clicked on a place in the southernmost part of Tianzhu. And Li Zhen and Li Yun were stunned when they saw the place where Li Yu pointed, because it was not Tianzhu Continent, but the southernmost island of Tianzhu, according to the mark on the map, this place is called Ceylon, and there are two small kingdoms on the island, namely the Sinhalese Kingdom and the Tamil Kingdom, which are fighting with each other endlessly, and their strength is not very strong.

"Sixth brother, are you used to living on an island, why did you think of such a place?" Li Zhen asked a little puzzled, and Li Yun next to him also asked, "Yes, Sixth Brother, although the area of this island is not small, according to the intelligence, it doesn't seem to be anything special, and the population is not very large, do you want to change places?" ”

Although Li Su knew that Li Zhen and Li Yun had good intentions, he still insisted: "No need, this island is good, and you know, my most powerful force is the navy, as long as you help me clear the native forces on the island, then I can send a navy to be stationed there, as long as the strait between Ceylon and Tianzhu is blocked, then there is no need to worry about the enemy, in addition, this can also be used as your supply base, I can let people send the materials you need here first, after all, there is no place safer than here." ”

Hearing the words of the sixth brother Li Su, Li Zhen and Li Yun both nodded, and they also knew that the sixth brother had something that he did not say clearly, that is, if they did not attack well and could not gain a foothold in Tianzhu, then this Ceylon Island could become a back road for them. Thinking that the sixth brother thought about it so carefully, Li Zhen and Li Yun no longer insisted, but they were even more grateful to Li Yu in their hearts.

Although the current Ceylon Island is not very conspicuous, but Li Su knows that this island is known as the 'gem kingdom' in later generations, opal, ruby, sapphire and other gemstones are all specialties on this island, and it is also very suitable for the development of tea industry, and the Ceylon black tea in later generations is also very famous, and it seems to be one of the important tea producing areas in the world.

It is precisely because he knows this, so Li Su will give Li Zhen and Li Yun so many firearms for free, in fact, his purpose is the island of Ceylon, whether it is gems or tea in the future, I am afraid it is worth more than the millions of firearms, but unfortunately Li Zhen and Li Yun did not know this, and even always thought that Li Su suffered a loss, but did not expect that he had already fallen into the trap of their unscrupulous brother.

After discussing the payment of Ceylon Island, Li Su, Li Zhen, and Li Yun studied where to land in Tianzhu? Although the Jieri Dynasty in the north has been going downhill, its strength is still there, so it must not be provoked, although there are several major forces in the south, but there are many small countries, and they are fighting with each other, there are wars almost every day, and the prosperity and demise of small countries are also very common, and not too many people pay attention to it at all.

In addition, Li Su named Ceylon Island, so in the end, Li Zhen and Li Yun decided that their army would first take down Ceylon Island and then temporarily rest on the island, but this island belonged to Li Su, and Li Su In order to show his support for Li Zhen and Li Yun, he would establish a seaport on the island in the shortest possible time to transport various materials to the island, so as to prepare for Li Zhen and Li Yun to land in Tianzhu later.

After Li Zhen and Li Yun's army adapted to the climate of Tianzhu, and then crossed the strait between Ceylon and Tianzhu, and landed nearby, they first occupied a place on the mainland, and then built a strong fortress as a bridgehead for them to occupy Tianzhu.

While the three brothers were discussing very hotly, suddenly a young man dressed in white walked in from outside the garden, this person looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old at most, although he looked ordinary, but his eyes were deep, and there was a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and he knew at a glance that he was the kind of person who was witty and changeable.

And when Li Zhen saw this young man coming, he immediately stood up very happily and said, "Sixth brother, I'll introduce you to a great talent in the world!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
