Chapter 437: The Four Guards in Action (Part II)

After Yang Lie and Yang Jiu's fleet left Yanzhou, they soon arrived at the capital of Linyi State, which is also known as Champa State, but they generally call themselves Champa, and the capital of Linyi State was originally called Indra Buluo, but the Han people felt that this name was too complicated, so they named it Linyi City after the name of the city.

Linyi City is built by the sea, is a very important port, because Linyi is just located on the Maritime Silk Road, so Linyi City is also an important port on the Maritime Silk Road, generally from the Tang Dynasty through the Strait of Malacca, and then to India on this route of the ship, will go to Linyi City to berth, so by virtue of the advantages of the port city, Linyi City has developed very rapidly, and now it has become the largest city on the Indochina Peninsula.

When Yang Lie's fleet arrived at the port of Linyi City, it was in the afternoon, and it was also the time when there were the most ships entering the port, coupled with the low level of the officials in charge of managing the port in Linyi City, there was no order to organize the fleet to enter the port, which led to the port being often blocked, causing many ships to complain, and even scolded directly if they had a bad temper, but unfortunately there was no way to scold again, Linyi was originally a small country, and the quality of personnel could not be compared with a big country like Datang, so this situation could only wait.

However, Yang Lie's fleet shouldered a very special mission, and there were people in Linyi who received them, so after their fleet arrived, officials from Linyi immediately came to greet them by boat, and personally led them to a nearby military port.

Linyi is a coastal country, and port income is one of their pillar industries, so they have also put a lot of effort into the construction of the navy, such as in the military port outside Linyi. There were thousands of warships stationed there, with a total number of more than 30,000 people. This is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement for a small country like Linyi.

It's worth mentioning though. Lin Yiguo's shipbuilding technology is very backward compared to the Tang Dynasty, and even big ships can't be built, even if they are warships, they are all small ships that can only carry dozens of soldiers, not to mention that this kind of ship is compared with the warships in Li Yi's hands, even if it is some armed merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty, they are much stronger than the warships of Linyi Kingdom.

And the people of Linyi also knew about this situation, so they always wanted to get Datang's shipbuilding technology, and even lured Datang's businessmen to Linyi to set up a shipyard by repeatingly. It's a pity that Li Su has long blocked shipbuilding technology, led by the Cabin Design College, prohibiting Datang's businessmen from opening shipyards abroad, and imposing a technical blockade on coastal countries.

Yang Jiu was the one sent by Wu Meiniang to come into contact with Maha Slow Dolgar, and his fleet this time was full of weapons made in the Tang Dynasty. However, these weapons have always been contraband, and they are not allowed to be exported at any port, and Li Su didn't want this batch of weapons to have much to do with him, so he finally smuggled them out of Yanzhou. This is not only hidden enough, but also dissociates oneself.

Maha Slow Dolgar had already prepared for the rebellion, and now he was waiting for this batch of weapons. So as soon as they heard that Yang Jiu and they were finally here, they were excited to come to the harbor to greet them in person. This first minister of Linyi is just fifty years old this year. The appearance is similar to that of ordinary Linyi people, with high noses and deep eyes. Curly hair jet black. This Maha Slow Doga looked very maintenance-conscious, and although he was fifty years old, his hair and beard were still black and shiny, so he looked much younger, looking like a middle-aged man in his forties.

It's not the first time Yang Jiu has come to Linyi, and he has met a few times with Maha Slow Duojia before, so as soon as the other party saw Yang Jiu who had just stepped down from the boat, he immediately stepped forward very enthusiastically and said: "Mr. Yang has come from afar, it's really hard, I have already asked people to set up a banquet in the house to catch Mr. Yang!" ”

And when Yang Jiu saw Maha Slow Dola Du, he also laughed and said: "Lord Maha is polite, but we still have to get down to business, there are five thousand pairs of armor and weapons on the ship, your lord might as well send someone to count it first, and then equip it as soon as possible, so as not to delay the big thing!" ”

Although Maha Slow Dola is not surnamed Maha, he has long been accustomed to Yang Jiu being called Maha, after all, in the eyes of the Han people, his name is really a little weird. In addition, Yang Jiu's words were in the heart of Maha Slow Duogadu, he had already prepared for rebellion and self-reliance, and now he was waiting for this batch of armor weapons, so he didn't care about the other party's name.

At that moment, Maha Slow Duogadu was not polite, and immediately sent his henchmen to board the ship, and then counted the armor and weapons brought by Yang Jiu. These weapons were all obtained by Yang Jiu through informal channels, and they were the old-style armor that the Tang army replaced, but although they were old-fashioned, they were quite intact, at least for Lin Yi's army, they were all quite sophisticated equipment.

Five thousand sets of armor and weapons were quickly counted, and these equipment were all used by Maha Slow Duojia to rebel, and this was also a hurried part of Wu Meiniang's plan, so there was naturally no problem with the equipment, and even after the inventory, Yang Jiu also asked people to carry out ten large boxes, and then let people open them.

"This ...... Isn't that...... Could it be the legendary firearm? When Maha saw the contents of the box, he trembled with excitement and pointed to the contents of the box. I saw that these ten large boxes were divided into two types, two of which were relatively slender and long, and the other eight boxes were placed with iron lumps the size of sweet potatoes. These two things are the blasting canisters and grenades that Li Su tried to produce for the first time.

Seeing the other party's excited appearance, Yang Jiu said with a smile: "Yes, these two are firearms, the reason why my Tang army is invincible is precisely because of the power of this firearm, in order to help Lord Maha get these two things, I have spent a lot of effort!" ”

Although the smuggling businessmen are bold and can indeed get some contraband, it is a fool's dream to get firearms, because firearms are not all Tang Army can be equipped, and even the Tang Army is equipped with firearms, they all have an extremely strict management system, and it is really difficult to get firearms from the army.

Of course, although it is difficult to get firearms, it is not without opportunities, but the reason why no one dares to smuggle firearms is that Datang is also divided into several charges for smuggling, such as smuggling silk and other goods is just a crime of exile, but smuggling firearms is an unforgivable crime of exterminating the three clans, plus the profits of smuggling are originally huge, so instead of risking the felony of exterminating the three clans to smuggle firearms, it is better to smuggle more other commodities to be safe, even if the East Window incident happens, they can save a life.

It is precisely in this situation that there are almost no people who dare to smuggle firearms, so although the countries around Datang have long heard of the name of firearms, they have not had the opportunity to see them with their own eyes, unless they have a war with Datang, they can only learn about firearms from the words and pictures on the newspapers and periodicals circulated in Datang.

Hearing that Yang Jiu was fooling people there, Yang Lie, who was pretending to be an old servant next to him, snickered in his heart, the Tang army was invincible, could it just rely on a small firearm? Although the role of firearms has become more and more valued in the past two years, when the Tang Dynasty did not have firearms in the past, did it still defeat the Turks and Tibetans?

Although Maha Slow Dolgard also knew that the strength of the Tang Dynasty army was not only because of firearms, but when destroying Goguryeo, firearms were indeed a great show of might, and when Li Su attacked the Japanese State, firearms also played a key role, so people have long exaggerated the role of firearms infinitely, even if it is the actual ruler of a country like Maha Slow Dolgadu, he is also affected by the theory of the invincibility of firearms, so when he sees the firearms that Yang Jiu took out, he will be so excited.

However, Maha Slow Duogadu was a great man after all, and quickly stabilized his emotions, and then saluted Yang Jiushen and said: "Thank you Mr. Yang for your help, if it is a big event, I will repay Mr. for his great kindness in the future, and as for the conditions you put forward before, I will definitely abide by my promise!" ”

Looking at Maha Slow Doga Du solemnly assuring himself with a solemn face, Yang Jiu did not doubt the sincerity of the other party, but he knew very well that if he really let the other party sit on the throne of Lin Yi, then his sincerity today would soon fade, after all, many of the conditions he put forward were achieved at the expense of Lin Yi's interests, and when Maha Slow Doga Du controlled Lin Yi, with his character, he would definitely not be willing to watch the interests that belonged to him be taken away by others, even if he didn't dare to turn his face openly, but the small actions in the secret would definitely continue, and it will be an even more difficult enemy to deal with than the current King of Linyi.

It was precisely knowing this that although Yang Jiu praised the other party loudly on the surface, he was actually sneering in his heart, and at the same time, the corner of his eye also glanced at Yang Lie, the net guard in Yang Lie's hand has become a very special force after being reorganized, and this time I am afraid that they will be used.

When Maha Slow Doga got the weapons and armor sent by Yang Jiu, his confidence in his heart swelled again, and at the same time, he was also very enthusiastic about Yang Jiu, a very righteous friend, and personally welcomed him to the city of Linyi and held a banquet in the mansion to entertain him. And Yang Lie and the other people on the ship also got off the ship together, and as Yang Jiu's entourage, they were temporarily arranged by Maha Slow Dola to live in his own mansion.

Yang Jiu came to Lin Yi this time, in addition to sending weapons to Maha Slow Dolga, in addition, he would also participate in the other party's rebellion throughout the whole process and give him advice, and Maha Slow Dola Du had long been convinced of Yang Jiu, after all, the other party had already placed a lot of heavy bets on him, and there was no reason to hope that he would fail.

Ten days after Yang Jiu arrived in Linyi City, the new weapons and armor had been equipped by Maha Slow Duogadu's army, and at the same time, other aspects were also prepared, and with Yang Jiu's encouragement, Maha Slow Doga Du finally started his own rebellion, but unfortunately what he didn't know was that there was already a vicious wolf ambushed by his side, which could bite his throat at any time.
