Chapter 777: The Next Target

@@@

Is the royal road good? Or is it better to be overbearing? Yang Yi thinks that let the Great Song Dynasty go to play the royal road, since he is here, let's play domineering first.

The whole palace is occupied first, and then we will talk about it, and there are always a few good concubines and concubines in it, so call for a massage first, it's easy for us to come all the way.

The treasures in the palace are all our labor fees, the treasury has been moved, and then I will look for it in the powerful and rich merchants, a big country that has lasted for hundreds of years, how can it be such a treasure, and there are many pure gold Buddha statues in the temple.

Of course, these are mainly done by Saburo Ozawa leading the army of 800 servants, they are very professional in doing this, and he can find out a few rats in the burrow for you.

Bolin Bang is good, and the water transportation is developed, which greatly facilitates Captain Jack, and the ships that transport gold and silver are full of the joy of the harvest, and go down the river day and night.

On the main hall of the Three Buddhas Palace, Captain Jack is still wearing a treasure knife at his waist, with big sleeves fluttering, looking down at the three Buddhas and ministers in the hall, this time he came too quickly and too suddenly, and the three Buddhas and ministers were all prostrate on the palace at this time, waiting for the verdict of fate in panic.

What will this demon named Captain Jack do to them? Judging from the ruthlessness with which he had to scrape even a copper plate, it is estimated that no one will survive, but judging from his lack of wanton slaughter of the people, it seems that everyone still has a chance to live, and in the face of the judgment of life and death, it is so long and difficult in an instant.

Captain Jack stood in the main hall, stretched out his sleeves, and said loudly, "You don't have to be afraid. We are civilized people, and we are here to spread civilization. Not indiscriminately, of course. We must punish the barbarians who insist on confronting civilization in order to educate them, and you must understand this painstaking work, well, it is like a father teaching his child, and the child is disobedient and will be spanked. Do you say yes? ”

The hall was silent, and no one answered. Depend on! How does this work? If you don't have flowers or applause, you'll have to poof!

There was no way, Captain Jack had no choice but to name him: "Respect His Royal Highness Puluo, do you think Captain Ben is right?" ”

Pu Luo hurriedly leaned down and replied, "What the captain said is also right or not. ”

"Oh, Your Highness Puro, what's wrong with Captain Ben?"

"Captain, I don't think it should be a metaphor for a father teaching a child, but a grandfather teaching a grandson, because compared to you, captain. We are like ignorant children, and you are like elders who know everything, so I think it is more appropriate to use the metaphor of grandfathers teaching grandchildren. ”

"HahahaProh is too modest, it's very good. As the saying goes, humility can make people progress, if everyone can be as humble and willing to learn as His Royal Highness Puluo. No matter how hard and tired we are to spread civilization, it is worth it. ”

The two of them answered this in the hall, and they heard the three Buddha ministers in the hall have different expressions. Some were very disdainful of Puluo, and some were indifferent. Some echoed in unison.

Captain Kejie continued to speak loudly, regardless of what they thought: "I have heard that the army of King Qin from all over the Srivijaya is coming to Bolin State, and they seem to be unwilling to abandon their barbaric methods and fight civilization to the end. ”

"No, no, of course not, I immediately ordered them to return."

"That's right, but, His Royal Highness Pu Luo is not the king, no one may listen to the order, this captain thinks that His Royal Highness Pu Luo is the most far-sighted, and the throne of the Three Buddhas should be inherited by His Royal Highness Pu Luo, so as to lead the people of the Three Buddhas out of ignorance and towards a glorious future, does the Prime Minister think my words are right?"

Captain Jack walked up to the Prime Minister of the Three Buddhas, Pu Liu, and asked him with a smile, who glared at him hatefully, and kept silent.

Yang Yi laughed and said to Pu Luo: "Your Royal Highness Pu Luo, Prime Minister Pu Liu doesn't seem to approve of your succession to the throne, and doesn't want to see the Three Buddhas go to civilization, such a person, alas, Captain Ben really doesn't know how to say it, His Royal Highness Pu Luo, what do you think." ”

"Show the public!"

"No, no, no, such an act of beheading is inhumane, and as a civilized person, this captain does not approve of His Highness Puluo doing this."

"Then hang you."

"Well, since His Royal Highness Puluo has made up his mind, it is not good for Captain Ben to interfere too much in your internal affairs."

The prime minister Pu Liu was quickly dragged down, and then several ministers who opposed Pu Luo's succession to the throne were all hanged by Pu Luo, and at this point, no one dared to object.

Pu Luo finally ascended to the throne of Srivijaya with great ambition, but the crown of the hundred treasures was too heavy for him to wear, what should he do?

Captain Jack made a suggestion to abolish the bad custom of awarding crowns on the Srivijaya and replace it with his eldest son in the future, which can be regarded as learning from the civilized world.

The Jewel Crown, studded with pearls and gemstones, was evidence of a bad habit that Captain Jack felt should not be kept, lest anyone return to it.

Polo also thinks he has a point, and gives Captain Jack the daunting task of destroying the Crown of Treasures.

After Polo ascended to the throne, he first ordered the various Qinwang troops to come from and where to return, and signed a series of peace agreements with Captain Jack, such as ceding another part of the Malay Peninsula and paying 10 million yuan to the West Indian Ocean Trading Company, to be paid in 20 years, to make up for the losses brought to the West Indian Ocean in the past two years;

The people of the West Indian Ocean Trading Company enjoy judicial immunity in Sriwijayaya, and goods entering Sriwijaya are exempt from customs duties, and all factories, workshops, and shops invested in Sriwijaya enjoy a low tax policy.

In return, the Western Indian Ocean Trading Company intervened to mediate with Matalan, Taruna, and Kengari to stop the war between the two countries.

Seven days later, Captain Jack began to return and brought Pu Tuo and Pu Ying with him, first, to prevent the two from making trouble in the Three Buddhas, and second, if Pu Luo was disobedient in the future, he could also let the two come back to make trouble, especially Pu Ying, who had officially inherited the throne of the Three Buddhas, and it was very useful to hold it in his hands.

As for the three small states of Matalan, Taruna, and Kedili on the island of Java, there is no need to adopt the method of military invasion, and the capital of Srivijaya Bolimbang has changed hands in a day. It has made them understand who is the boss, and the three countries are now as well-behaved as pugs. It is only necessary to constantly tighten the control of the country's economy.

Yang Yi transferred another 2,000 men from Kagoshima. 1,500 men were stationed in Singapore to clear the opposition in the Malay Peninsula ceded by Sriwijaya. Another 500 men were stationed in Bolim State. To ensure that the interests obtained before are not violated, it is also a kind of surveillance and deterrence for Puluo.

When Yang Yi returned to Xingjiazhen, the news of the change in Bolin State began to spread here, but many people did not want to believe that it was true, and there were various legends;

And the most conclusive one is deliberately spread by the trading company, that is, Pu Luo was dissatisfied with his younger brother Luo Ying's house arrest first, and then intended to harm him, so he launched a counterattack and seized the throne. In short, this is an internal problem of Sriwijaya and has little to do with outsiders. Sriwijaya officials soon issued such a communiqué, further confirming the authenticity of this rumor.

The people of Sriwijaya usually use gold and silver as currency, which is not as great as the demand for currency in Sriwijaya is not as great as that of the Great Song Dynasty, another reason is that it has a large production of gold and silver, and it controls the Strait of Malacca, and the passing merchant ships have to pay taxes to Sriwijaya. In addition to physical goods, most of the taxes collected are gold and silver.

This time, Captain Jack raided the city of Bolin. Even the temple did not let go, and got nearly 10 million taels of gold, more than 30 million taels of silver, and the value of various pearls, gemstones, jade, coral trees and other treasures is difficult to determine. The harvest greatly exceeded his expectations.

Captain Jack began to reflect on himself, he used to think that outside the Great Song Dynasty was a wild place, which was definitely a misunderstanding. It is true that these small countries are technologically backward and lack materials, but they are not poor. Minerals such as gold and silver are often more abundant than those of the Great Song Dynasty.

Poor enough to have only money left, this sentence suits many small countries. They were not short of gold and silver, but because of the backwardness of their own productive forces, the small amount of trade with the outside world, and the backward culture, they seemed very barbaric;

Just like in the Age of Discovery, when Westerners landed on the American continent, they also felt that it was a wild land, but these wild places had inexhaustible gold and silver treasures.

When Yang Yi was resting in Xingjiapo, news came from the Great Song Dynasty one after another, and his disappearance caused a strong shock in the Great Song Dynasty, but the imperial court has now received a more reliable news from the Staff Pavilion, saying that Yang Taifu's should have drifted to the area of Champa, and the Career Pavilion is trying to find it.

With this news, the court is finally much more stable, and those Yang officials who don't know about it are also much more relieved, no matter where Yang Yi goes, as long as he doesn't die, it's not a big problem.

Under the pressure of the imperial court, the staff pavilion has sent a large number of personnel south to look for it.

Yang Yi laughed at this, everything was still under control. He is very concerned about the situation in Dali, and it can be seen from the news from the country that now Zhenla has formed an alliance with Gao Mingliang, and Gao Mingliang has asked Zhenla to send troops to deal with Duan Heyu at the cost of ceding the land of Sanzhou.

The three armies are fighting on the Lancang River, with the addition of 20,000 troops from Zhenla, the morale of the Gao Ming side was greatly boosted, and the previous decline was swept away, and Duan Qingshan won two small victories in a row, killing more than 1,000 enemies. Now it is actively planning a counterattack on Dali City.

The Great Song Dynasty expressed its concern about Zhenla's participation in the Dali Civil War, believing that this would only bring more wars to the people of Dali, and expressed the hope that Zhenla would withdraw from the Dali Civil War.

For the sake of his own interests, Zhenla is willing to give up, and Da Song only achieved his own wishes, and did not give a stern warning, which made Zhenla even more intense, hoping to cook the raw rice as soon as possible.

In private, the staff pavilion is following Yang Yi's arrangement, paying close attention to the situation in Dali, and when the two sides fight for a while, Zhenla will fall deeper, and immediately start to clear Duan Heyu and blame Zhenla.

The Great Song Dynasty wants to annex a devastated Dali country, the problem is not big, even if it can't be swallowed for a while, with the name of righteousness, it will be successful sooner or later, these Yang Yi are not worried at all, his next target is India.
