It should be said that this was a trap carefully prepared by Fanning, and the officers and men of the three armies all saw the fact that dozens of Sriwijaya warships pursued the Song army sentry ships that were fighting pirates, and also captured one of them, which was a naked war provocation.

The Song army suddenly stood on the moral high ground, and no matter which country in the South Seas it was, the Song army was forced to fight back.

This is an explanation to the country, the Song army never did anything to rely on the strong and bully the weak, it was the Three Buddhas who bullied people too much, and launched a war and provoked first. In order to maintain the honor of a great power, the Song army had to carry out a counterattack.

There was no suspense in this encounter, under the ruthless crushing of the Song army's 20,000 stone ships, more than 30 ships were hit and scattered, and soon most of them were sunk, and the remaining dozen or so ships desperately escaped, but dozens of Song army warships were in hot pursuit.

There are still more than 20 miles from the coast of Sriwijaya country, only seven of the 35 Sriwijaya stations remain, the other 28 ships were all sunk, and nearly 1,000 soldiers died in the sea.

At this moment, more than 100 Sriwijaya warships appeared, they came to meet their own ships, but they had no idea of fighting the Song army, but the development of events was no longer up to them.

Fanning then gave the order for the whole army to fight.

Twenty oarboats, all of which were 20,000 stones, slaughtered the Srivijaya warship.

The commander of the navy of the Sriwijaya State is called Pu Wenda, a well-known hardliner in the military, he initially advocated a sneak attack on Xingang, and after the proposal was vetoed by the king, he considered the use of pirates, and the pirates that suddenly appeared in the South China Sea were planned by him, and more than 500 sailors and 40 small warships dressed as pirates.

At this time, Pu Wenda saw that only seven of the thirty-five warships he had sent out had escaped, and he was immediately furious and shouted: "The Song army invades Sriwijaya and completely annihilates them!" ”

More than 100 warships beat the drums of war and slaughtered the Song warships from all directions.

Although the Song warships were tall and sturdy, they were clumsy and had a deep draft, which made them difficult in shallow waters, while the Sriwijaya warships were maneuverable and seven times more numerous than the Song warships.

Fanning has already stared at the other party's main ship, which is the largest warship in the Sriwijaya country, with a carrying capacity of 3,000 stones, which is converted from a cargo ship of the Song Dynasty, which the Song Dynasty has done well, strictly prohibiting the export of high-load ships, making it very difficult for the Srivijaya country to get a big ship, and this 3,000 stone warship is also the largest ship in the Sriwijaya country.

Fanning's 30,000 stone oars boat rushed towards the opponent's main ship against the wind and waves, and Pu Wenda saw that the other party was menacing, and hurriedly ordered: "Avoid it!" ”

His ship turned sharply to the left, avoiding the fierce collision of the opponent's large ship, the two flagships staggered, hundreds of Song troops condescendingly fired arrows, and the soldiers of the Srivijaya Kingdom hid in the cabin.

Just as the two ships were about to separate, a swarthy iron lump was thrown from the big ship, which weighed forty or fifty pounds, 'Knock! It slammed through the roof and fell into the cabin.

No one including the Song army knew what was happening, and when the two ships were less than twenty zhang away, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded, and the enemy's flagship burst into flames, and then thick smoke rose into the air, and the earth-shattering explosion made many people's ears buzz.

The Song army's 30,000-stone warship also shook violently from side to side with the shock wave, and was almost overturned.

When the smoke cleared, there was a scene on the sea that stunned everyone, the main ship of the 3,000 stone of the Sriwijaya army was blown beyond recognition, the hull was blown into two sections, and it was sinking rapidly, the water was full of wood chips, and what was even more frightening was that there was not a single soldier who was trying to survive on the sea, it was full of more than 300 soldiers! The main general, Pu Wenda, was also on the ship, and he was blown up and wiped out.

Fanning was also secretly afraid, he didn't expect the power of the iron fire thunder to be so terrifying, if it exploded at the time of staggering, then his ship would definitely be overturned by the impact waves, he secretly decided that he could no longer throw the mine directly like this, and he had to use a trebuchet to throw it fifty paces away.

The main ship was blown and sunk, the impact on the Srivijaya Navy was fatal, the morale of the other warships was low, they had no intention of fighting again, they withdrew to the harbor, the Song army ships were in hot pursuit, constantly smashing and sinking the enemy ships, the sea was full of soldiers asking for help, but no one paid attention to these drowning soldiers, when entering the harbor, there were only more than 20 Sriwijaya warships left.

The Song army's thousand-stone warships were also dispatched, searching along the coast, constantly destroying the pirate's ships.

A shocking and terrifying scene appeared in the port of Mo Luo Yu, where hundreds of military ships were piled up, and the Song army began to set fire to the ships, and thick smoke billowed from the harbor.

The king was terrified and sent the Vargara to beg for mercy from Fanning.

Dihua Garo was taken to the big ship, and he said urgently: "Fan Envoy Jun, why are you attacking the Three Buddhas? ”

A businessman who acts as a translator is almost a simultaneous translator.

Fan Ning said coldly: "The Song army patrol ship normally pursues the pirates, it is your warship that sneaks up on the Song army's warship, and you also take the initiative to declare war, a naval battle has ended, but the war is not over, please tell the king that unless the Srivijaya Kingdom completely surrenders and agrees to the conditions of the Song army, the Song army will go ashore to conquer and carry the war to the end." ”

Dihuagara was too frightened to stay any longer, and hurried back to the palace.

At this time, King Zhanbei had already gotten some news from the mouth of the fleeing navy, the Song army clashed with the Srivijaya navy when chasing pirates, and when Pu Wenda led the army to rescue, he directly fought against the Song army, but the Song army used an extremely powerful weapon to sink Pu Wenda's boat directly.

Zhanbei suddenly became angry and anxious, and scolded Pu Wenda for his stupidity, and he would drag down the Three Buddhas when he died.

Dihua Jialuo also hurried over, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Song army has declared war on us, and I am afraid that it will come ashore." ”

Zhanbei urgently sent someone to invite the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Pu Fei, who was the uncle of Pu Wenda, the commander of the fallen naval army, after listening to Fanning's arrogant relay, he said hatefully: "What is there to discuss, our business has been forced to death, what else do they want to do?" We have an army of 100,000 men, and the sea is no match for them, and we may not be afraid of them when we come ashore. ”

Another military commander-in-chief, Tan Jialuo, also said: "Your Majesty, it is better to make two preparations, on the one hand, to negotiate with them, on the other hand, to gather troops, if the talks are good, everyone will cease their troops, and if the talks are not good, we can only go to war, should we also be driven out of Luzon by the whole country like the Luzon State?" ”

The plan of making two preparations is not bad, and Zhanbei said to Dihua Jialuo: "You go to negotiate with Fanning, I want to know, what conditions does he want?" ”

Dihua Gara had no choice but to return to Fanning's big ship, and at this time, the bay of Mora Yucheng was covered in raging fire, and not only all the warships were set on fire, but even the civilian ships anchored in the bay could not be spared.

Frightened, Dihuagara made a great circle before being taken to Fanning's main ship.

By this time, Fanning had already written down the written conditions:

First, the Sriwijaya must surrender all pirates and compensate the pirates for the loss of one million taels of gold.

Second, the Srivijaya State ceded the peninsula across the strait to the Great Song Dynasty.

Thirdly, the Srivijaya State must no longer have a naval army.

Fourth, the Three Buddhas should no longer have any regulations that discriminated against the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

Fifth, the Three Buddhas were in the capital of the Song Dynasty, and they needed to send envoys to the Song Dynasty every year to make a pilgrimage to the Song Emperor.

Under the above five conditions, once the Srivijaya agrees and fulfills the agreement, the two sides can sign an armistice agreement, and the Song army will withdraw as soon as possible.

Dihua Jialuo sat in the cabin and stared blankly at a written condition in front of him, the Three Buddhas did not have their own script, the Sanskrit used by the people, and the Chinese language used by the government.

In fact, Fanning did not see him at all, and ordered someone to hand him a written condition, Fanning knew very well in his heart that it was too early to say that it was too early to negotiate, and they would not have the sincerity of negotiations if they did not hurt the Srivijaya country.

Dihua Garo let out a long sigh in his heart, he knew that all this was due to the fact that the other party wanted the land north of the strait, but Sriwijaya politely refused, and nightmares came one after another.

Of course, everyone considers the problem from the perspective of the victim, and Dihua Jialuo did not think of the discriminatory regulations of the Srivijaya State against the Song merchants for decades, prohibiting the Song merchants from opening a trading house and building a warehouse in Mo Luo Yu, and monopolizing the huge profits of the transit trade.

He also did not expect that the Sriwijaya State would send sailors to pretend to be pirates and plague the trading ships in the South Seas everywhere.

He only thought that the commerce of the Three Buddhas was suppressed, and the Song Dynasty did not give the Three Buddhas a way to live, and now they are coming to the door again.

In desperation, he had to return to the capital with the conditions proposed by Fanning.
