……

Located in the port of Jilong Island in the middle of the South Seas, a group of royal nobles were already dressed and waiting respectfully at the pier, ready to welcome the arrival of the Han sailors.

Kuala Lumpur has a total population of 3 million, of which one-third is the Central Plains diaspora, and the rest is made up of indigenous people and immigrants from Dongying and Tianzhu.

The king, whose surname was Li and whose name was Li Jun, was standing at the front of the pier, looking out over the endless sea.

And standing next to Li Jun is the initiator of the current Nanyang incident - Ban Dingyuan.

Kuala Lumpur doesn't have much to offer, but its geographical location is important enough to supply merchant ships to and from the South Seas.

Relying on the unique geographical advantages, Kuala Lumpur has made a lot of money from commercial taxes alone, and the Li royal family was originally a member of the Central Plains Shi family, and according to the bloodline, he is also related to Li Suwen, and he is very experienced in dealing with the relationship between local ethnic groups, so the country is relatively stable.

After Ban Dingyuan arrived, he finally persuaded Kuala Lumpur to turn to the big tree of the Central Plains with his own diplomatic means, and carved out a port on the small land area that could be used for the Han army's ocean-going fleet to rest and recuperate, and began to provide all logistical resources for the ocean-going fleet.

It can be said that before this war began, the situation had completely changed, not the war between the Han and the Jin State, but the showdown in South Australia against almost the entire South Seas.

If you look at the charts of the South Seas, you will be surprised to find that almost all the maritime countries surrounding Nanao have been included in the sphere of influence of the Han army, completely locking Nanao in its own sea.

Feeling the chill of the sea breeze, Li Jun tightened his cloak and said to Ban Dingyuan: "Ambassador Ban, are you sure that your country will agree to the conditions we propose?" ”

Ban Dingyuan said: "My big man has always been true to his friends, and His Royal Highness the King does not have to worry. ”

Only then did Li Jun feel relieved.

His request was that Kuala Lumpur should have its own armed forces to defend against the pirates of the South Seas.

And the only one who can help Kuala Lumpur achieve this is the Han Dynasty.

In fact, in the early years, Li Jun also sought help from South Australia, but this request was directly rejected by Honglin, saying that since he has been attached to my Dajin, why should he be afraid of pirates?

Honglin believes that as long as the Nanyang pirates hear the word "Dajin", they will definitely be frightened and worship, and their vassal countries will definitely be proud to be "Dajin's dogs".

The fact is that the word "Dajin" is a joke for pirates who plunder in the South Seas, and no one gives them face at all, only the Jin Kingdom thinks that it is still the Celestial Empire.

What the pirates are really afraid of is the Han Navy, and there is almost no chance of survival if they encounter them.

Over the years, Gan Ziba's Nanyang Fleet has smashed dozens of pirate dens in a row, and its pirate policy is simple and rude - cannon fire to bombard his mother.

The brutal pirates who were directly blown up by the sharp artillery collectively fed the sharks, and by the way, they also seized a lot of their stolen money to improve their hard life at sea.

At present, the number of pirate gangs in various parts of the South Seas has plummeted, and the convenience brought by law and order stability is visible to the naked eye.

Over time, many countries in Nanyang also began to take the initiative to seek refuge from the Han Dynasty.

Coupled with the overseas economic expansion of the Central Plains, merchants from these countries benefited from it, and naturally turned to the Han Dynasty.

Half an hour later, just when Li Jun's legs were about to go numb, a Yang Fan battleship appeared on the horizon in the distance.

Immediately afterward, one after another, more than thirty warships sailed to the port.

Li Jun immediately came to his senses, and after instructing the officials on the side to pay attention to his demeanor, he couldn't help but take two steps forward.

Soon, more than 30 huge ships anchored and lowered their sails offshore, followed by dozens more small boats falling from the side of the ship and slowly rowing towards the harbor.

"Quick, follow me to meet the envoy of the Celestial Empire."

Li Jun finally checked his demeanor, and he was overwhelmed with excitement.

Not long after, Yue Shaomu took the lead in going ashore, glanced at everyone, and was just about to speak, when he saw Li Jun and other officials kneeling in front of him: "Li Jun, the monarch of the country, leads the civil and military ministers to welcome the Han foreign envoy!" ”

Yue Shaomu stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness the King doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly, this time my ocean-going fleet operation will rely on the full support of your country." ”

After Li Jun got up, he bowed his head and said, "This is as it should be, and the country will naturally do everything possible to provide all the funds for your fleet." ”

After Yue Shaomu thanked him, he looked at Ban Dingyuan's face changed, and then took out a document and said: "Envoy Ban, Your Majesty is very concerned about your affairs, and praises you for doing things in the palace." ”

Ban Dingyuan's heart tightened, he could hear that this was definitely not a compliment, and there was obviously something else hidden.

He Shi stepped forward and said: "Do things for the court and Your Majesty, and the lower officials will naturally do their best." ”

Yue Shaomu directly threw the document stamped with the cabinet resolution seal in his hand into his arms: "This is Your Majesty's reward for you, look back." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Jun with a kind face: "The military situation is urgent, we can only stay here for two days, and we will continue to set sail at noon the day after tomorrow, and ask His Royal Highness the King to prepare these things." ”

A list handed over by Yue Shaomu appeared in front of Li Jun's eyes, which was the materials requested above.

He glanced at it and immediately relieved himself, but it was just some rice, noodles, vegetables and fruits, and the most was fresh water, which were available in Kuala Lumpur, and he could afford it.

But the next words shocked Li Jun.

I only heard Yue Shaomu say: "The cost of these materials will be written down for the time being, and they will be returned after this operation is over." ”

Li Jun hurriedly said: "It is the responsibility of the country to be able to provide materials for the Han Dynasty, how can you let your country spend money?" Ask General Yue to take back his order. ”

Yue Shaomu said: "One yard is one yard, your country can provide materials for our army, it must cost a lot, and the money that should be given still has to be given.

It's just that on this trip, the silver dollars brought on board are insufficient, and they can't pay for the time being. ”

Li Jun hurriedly said: "General Yue, these vegetables and fruits and fresh water don't cost much, if General Yue really doesn't want to go, then ask General Yue to do a small favor to the country." ”

Yue Shaomu: "Your Royal Highness, please speak, if I can help, then I will do my best." ”

Li Jun said: "The country is sparsely armed, and there are often pirates to attack, I hope that when General Yue returns to the dynasty victoriously, he can talk to His Majesty the Emperor of Han, can you purchase a batch of military supplies?

It would be better if there was someone to train an army for our country, of course, whether General Yue agreed or not, these materials would be properly prepared.

No delay is guaranteed. ”

Yue Shaomu pondered for a while and looked at Ban Dingyuan.

Ban Dingyuan directly admitted: "General Yue, it was the lower official who took the initiative to agree, don't blame it." ”

Yue Shaomu sighed and said, "Okay, I will try my best to satisfy His Royal Highness in this matter." ”

"The widow has thanked General Yue first, General Yue, the widow has set up a reception banquet in the palace, please be sure to appreciate your face."

"It's okay, I just have something to discuss with His Royal Highness the King, please."

Yue Shaomu, under the leadership of Li Junyi, walked towards the court.

And Ban Dingyuan glanced at the contents of the document, and suddenly looked bitter.

"It's over, things seem to be too big, how can this be good......"
