Chapter 11 The storm rises, and the Three Buddhas are defeated

Zhao Lei's current life is like a dream, he lives on the mountainside of the Navy Port, every day when he wakes up, he can see the beautiful seascape, smell the slightly fishy sea breeze, and occasionally go out to sea to see the sunrise and sunset, although a little busy, but the comfortable and calm days make Zhao Lei very satisfied with the task of the navy.

"Qiongzhou now has a population of more than 200,000, the people who have immigrated to the past have begun to open up the wasteland and farm, although they can't catch up with the early rice, but the late rice is just catching up, although the grain is a little nervous, but the imperial court has opened an official warehouse in Guangzhou, and the grain transported to Qiongzhou is enough for them to last until the autumn harvest. There are also 300,000 people in Liuqiu, and those immigrants not only cultivate grain in Liuqiu, but also build several workshops, there are a lot of minerals on Liuqiu Island, and their living standards are higher than those of the people of Qiongzhou.

"I really didn't expect that so many people in the Great Song Dynasty had no land, relying on odd jobs to help their families, and the three divisions were just one official document, and hundreds of thousands of people were willing to leave their hometowns and go away!" Hearing Su Xun's simple introduction, Zhao Lei held the simple fishing rod in his hand and said in a low voice with a sigh.

"In the 100th year of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Geng Zhongming's ministers emerged in an endless stream, and the successive officials rewarded their courtiers very boldly, coupled with the local tyrants and tyrannical lands below, which made the land annexation of the Great Song Dynasty very serious, and the number of landless people was surprising. These people live a precarious life by working in those workshops to make money, and now they hear that the imperial court has opened Qiongzhou and Liuqiu, and there is a large amount of ownerless land allocation, it is not flocking, this is just the beginning. When the news reaches the Central Plains and the north, more people are willing to come to the South China Sea. Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei, who was sighing, and said indifferently.

"It is precisely because I know this situation that I went to the official family to fight for hegemony in the South China Sea, there are too many beautiful desert islands in the South China Sea waiting for the people of the Great Song Dynasty to cultivate, and divert the people of Middle Earth, which can not only reduce the burden of the imperial court, but also play a decisive role in stabilizing the Great Song Dynasty. It is more important than the Western Xia in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State in the north, and the Tu Fan in the west. Zhao Lei said heroically looking at the boundless sea.

"Fighting for hegemony in the South China Sea, it's easy to say, but it's not so easy to do, and the information we have collected from various countries in the South China Sea, Ma Yi has 200 warships. There are nearly 30,000 navy, 20,000 city guards on the island, plus the people in the city who were mobilized during the war, even if we defeat the Mayi water army, we will still have to face at least 50,000 6 troops. Although Ma Yi did not have cavalry, their ability to defend the city was no less than that of the Great Song Dynasty, and the first target of the Great Song Dynasty was not easy to deal with. What's more, there are countries such as Boni, Srivijaya and Tianzhu that are more powerful than Mayi, and it is not as easy as we imagined to dominate the South China Sea. Su Xun thought of the hemp he had recently collected. Yiguo information, frowned and said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.

"Ma Yi is not a problem, I have already played the official family, and when the naval training is successful and defeats Ma Yi's navy, the Privy Council will send the new army of the Bianjing garrison and the Zuo Qianniu army to help with 50,000 soldiers and horses, with these soldiers and horses. With a population of less than a million, a little Mayi is not a problem at all. Zhao Lei said casually without putting Ma Yi's 50,000 regular troops in his eyes.

In fact, not only did Zhao Lei not put Ma Yi in his eyes, but even Su Xun did not put Ma Yi in his eyes, a small country with a small projectile, and the two were only worried about how many casualties Ma Yi would bring to the Great Song Navy.

There is a big difference between Ma Yi and the Great Song Dynasty, Ma Yi's so-called 300 warships are mostly medium-sized warships that can only accommodate 100 people, and many of them are still commercial ships, with a lot of load, but their combat capability is seriously insufficient; And Ma Yi's so-called 30,000 navy, including many maritime merchant ships and sailors, in fact, the real regular army will definitely not exceed 10,000, this kind of naval strength, compared to the huge fleet of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, is not in the eyes of Zhao Lei and Su Xun.

However, Zhao Lei and Su Xun's worries are also reasonable, although there are many bubbles in Ma Yi's naval strength, but after all, he has been rampant in the South China Sea for many years, and the Great Song Dynasty has never had naval combat experience.

Just when Zhao Lei and Su Xun were thinking about how to eat the Mayi naval land cruising in the South China Sea at the lowest cost, a small boat rowed over from the port, and one of the three generals under Zhao Lei, Pang Song, the former commander of the Mingzhou Navy and the current commander of the right army of the navy, boarded the triple building ship where Zhao Lei was with a strange expression.

"Lord Zhao! Officials at the port of Guangzhou received urgent news that the Southern Tianzhu Empire's Luo Ja I had made an expedition to Srivijaya and led a huge navy to defeat Sriwijaya's maritime power, and had surrounded Palembang Sumatra, which was established by the Malays. Pang Song, a stout admiral in his thirties, with dark skin and sharp eyes, came to Zhao Lei's side and respectfully sent an official document and said.

"The Zhu Yuan Empire and the Three Buddhas actually fought, strange? Didn't the last information say that Raja I of the Zhu Yuan Empire was fighting against Sri Lanka! How did it suddenly appear in the Strait of Malacca? Zhao Lei was slightly stunned when he heard Pang Song's words, and after saying it strangely, he took the official document sent by Pang Song and read it carefully.

After reading the official document, Zhao Lei handed it to Su Xun next to him, and immediately stood up and asked Pang Song loudly: "How long will it take for the four generals Zhu Sheng, Shi Qiang, Xiao Ruoruo and Yang Jinhua to come back?" ”

Zhu Sheng in Zhao Lei's mouth is the former commander of the Guangzhou Navy and the current commander of the Left Army of the Navy, while Shi Qiang is the former commander of the Quanzhou Navy and the current commander of the former Navy.

"Back to Lord Zhao, General Zhu and General Shi led the fleet to the Dongsha Islands to exterminate a group of small-scale pirates, while General Yang and General Xiao transported the immigrants to Qiongzhou and Liuqiu respectively, and it is estimated that it will take ten days to return." Pang Song pondered for a while and replied respectfully to Zhao Lei.

"General Pang, you prepare immediately, and when they come back, don't go out, and discuss the next move of the navy!" After Zhao Lei gave instructions to Pang Song, he turned his head to Su Xun, who had finished reading the official document, and asked, "Brother Mingyun!" What do you think about this? ”

"The three Buddhas are over, the huge forces that control the Strait of Malacca were actually defeated by the navy of the Empire Rajaya I in the Strait of Malacca, this defeat is both internal and external factors of the Sriwijaya Empire, all prove one thing, the Sriwijaya has lost its former prestige, the rivers are declining, and even the ability to protect their own country is gone." Su Xun held the official document in his hand, frowned and pondered for a while, and said to Zhao Lei in a deep voice.

"As I thought, Sriwijaya can control Malacca, with the huge navy of 200,000 people and thousands of medium and large warships in the country, and now Sriwijaya's navy is defeated by the navy of the Rejaya I of the Sriwijaya Empire, the strength of Sumatra is only 30,000 people, and in the face of the hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops of the Sriwijaya Empire, defeat is inevitable, but now what I am most worried about is that once the Sriwijaya is defeated, we will not only have to face a stronger enemy than the Sriwijayaya, but the most terrible thing is the navy of the Sriwijaya defeat!" Zhao Lei said solemnly with some worry.

"Yes! Sriwijaya is the biggest problem for those defeated navies, you must know that the large-scale pirates in the South China Sea in history are all regular armies that escaped because of the country's ruin, and Sriwijaya is the strongest country in the South China Sea navy, once Sriwijaya is destroyed, there is no place and is unwilling to surrender to the regular navy of the Zhu Yuan Empire, only to flee and become pirates, these pirates are the biggest threat to my Great Song Dynasty Navy and maritime merchants! Su Xun also agreed with Zhao Lei's statement, nodded and said in a daze.

"And that's not all! This is not the worst case, don't forget that we are here to train the navy, Ma Yi and Bo Ni will definitely be wary of us, if the two countries of Ma Yi and Bo Ni and the Three Buddhas defeated pirates join forces to loot our Great Song Maritime Merchants, it will really become a catastrophe. Zhao Lei said to Su Xun with a wry smile.

"Ma Yi and Bo Ni teamed up with pirates to sack the Great Song Dynasty Maritime Merchants, no! The Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants were able to bring millions of taels of silver in profits to these countries every year, and looted the Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants, wouldn't they let their own blood out? Su Xun asked Zhao Lei with some confusion.

"Times have changed, it turned out that when the Three Buddhas were at their peak, in order to protect their profits, Ma Yi and Bo Ni were not allowed to participate in the trading of silk, tea, porcelain and other commercial goods in the Great Song Dynasty, so Ma Yi and Bo Ni did not dare to do anything to the Great Song Dynasty merchant ships, and now the Three Buddhas perished, taking advantage of this chaotic time, they did not grab a few more Great Song merchant ships, and when the Zhu Yuan Empire reflected, they had no chance of making money." Zhao Lei carefully explained the trickiness of this matter to Su Xun.

"What then! Maritime merchants are the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty commerce, and if Ma Yi and Bo Ni really do this, it will deal a fatal blow to my Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants. Zhao Lei's words made Su Xun suddenly realize, and then asked Zhao Lei anxiously.

"I don't know! After all, it's a matter of the future, and we don't know if it will happen or not, how do I know what to do! The best thing to do now is to sit back and watch what happens, and then see the move, so I asked Pang Song to call everyone else back and discuss how to deal with this change. Zhao Lei said with a helpless wry smile.

"Sriwijaya is really incompetent, with a huge navy, and the right time, place and people, and actually lost to the Zhulin Empire in Malacca, a bunch of waste!" Su Xun thought of the fact that the Sriwijaya Navy was defeated by the Imperial Navy, and said with a sneer.

With Su Xun's sarcastic smile, how Zhao Lei wanted to tell him that the future Northern Song Dynasty was even more wasteful, with a huge army, but it was destroyed by the small Jin State, and Su Xun was now laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps.
