Lu Guogong Wuya battleship.

"So, what are the eight laws...... Law ......"

In the cabin of the battleship, Hou Junji looked at the map hanging on the wall, and was talking to a tanned man, who could not remember the name at this time.

Fortunately, dark-skinned people are very understanding, so he added:

"Bafa Valman, His Royal Highness."

Nodding, Hou Junji pinched his beard and wrinkled his brows and said:

"So, this Bafa was originally the prince of Funan Kingdom, but by marrying the princess of Zhenla Kingdom, he became the lord of Zhenla Kingdom?"

"Indeed, as Guogong said, there is nothing wrong with that, His Royal Highness Guogong."

Hou Junji nodded, and then continued to try to sort out the relationship between the characters of the Nanyang countries:

"Last year, the lord of Funan passed away, so this Bafa, who has already become the lord of Zhenla country, wants to be the co-lord of the two countries?"

"It's more than that."

The dark-skinned man added:

"There is a prince in Funan, but Naba Favarman wants to forcibly seize the throne because of the strong army of Zhenla, and he is still fighting."

"Strong troops?"

Hou Junji suddenly became interested:

"How many soldiers and horses are there?"

The dark-skinned man over there was suddenly a little embarrassed, and Hou Junji suddenly realized that he had forgotten that this was a barren place, and he didn't learn how to speak and arithmetic, so such an extremely ordinary question fell into the ears of this person.

But fortunately, after getting along during this time, there are other solutions to this problem:

"Wu Ba, can the strength of the Zhenla Kingdom be as large as my fleet?"

The dark-skinned Wu Ba suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it carefully, and said with great certainty: "There are probably as many as the four fleets of His Royal Highness Guogong. ”

His own fleet is more than 900 people in 10 ships, and 4 fleets are also about 4,000 soldiers and horses?

Even if you add the unique elephant soldiers of the Indochina Peninsula, more than 4,000 foot soldiers and more than ten elephants, such a force ......

Hou Junji, the Duke of Tang Luguo and the general of the Right Guard, couldn't help but sigh and gave his own evaluation: It's really weak.

If it was in the past, this kind of force would not be taken into his eyes at all, unless it was the elite of the government soldiers.

But here, such a force can be called strong, and it is even more capable of bullying the weak with impunity.

Recalling that because of the light curtain, he had to leave Chang'an, and recruited hundreds of bad people to join nine hundred strong men and go south together, which seemed to be a few years ago.

After crossing the sea to Yizhou to learn how to distinguish the wind and stargazing, and then using His Majesty's warrant to requisition a large and nine small ten warships, Hou Junji began to explore the South Seas as he promised to Li Shimin.

Although the terrain on the map of later generations is finely drawn, how much does this Nanyang land have? What about the folk customs? What is abundant? I don't know, and so on.

After the fleet set sail, the Pearl Cliff was used as a rest and supply point, followed by a steady exploration to the south.

If you talk about the Nanyang Strategy, the most important thing is undoubtedly the Champa rice that has been said many times in later generations and has been put in the heart of His Majesty.

However, this task encountered difficulties at the beginning, whether it was an inquiry in Jiaozhou or an inquiry in Zhuya, but no one could find the place of Zhancheng.

No, Hou Junji could only lead the fleet to leave the territory of the Tang Dynasty and explore the Linyi Kingdom south of Jiaozhou.

Because he wants to pass through the South Seas, Hou Junji has made up for the history of this place.

Linyi country originally belonged to the two Han Dynasty of Rinan County, formerly known as Xianglin County, after the death of the Han Dynasty, there was a famous district to make a rebellion and stand on its own from the king of Linyi, at the end of the Jin Dynasty, China was dark, this contempt such as Linyi country actually went north and repeatedly invaded.

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty was full of martial virtue, and sent Jiaozhou to assassinate Shi to conquer Linyi, forcing him to call the minister to pay tribute, and Liu Fang of Sui Daye conquered again, destroying his country and placing Linyi County, and this place was lost after the death of Sui.

In view of this history, Hou Junji came with a good attitude of negotiation at the beginning, as long as he found the news of Zhancheng Dao, everything was easy to say.

But alas......

Hou Junji, who went lightly to show his sincerity, and the native people of Linyi who were arrogant and feared by the Tang people.

In the end, the two sides used blood as ink on the beach, outlining a bloody sun.

The disciples under his command are all from the government soldiers, they are familiar with the method of forming formations, and they are invincible in attacking the fortifications head-on.

The bad people in Chang'an jumped lightly, and they were the best at self-protection and harassment, although they were not good at frontal combat, but they were especially good at attacking and harassing the array.

The combined force of the two phases made the natives flee when they heard the wind.

This battle made Hou Junji thoughtful: compared to the local dialect, it seems that Tang Hengdao is more effective in speaking.

It is also the power of this battle that makes the people in Linyi who still respect the Huaxia system and learn the Central Plains Yayan know that the Central Plains Huaxia has set its sights on here again, so there is an undercurrent surging in the small country.

After all, it is carefully calculated, this place has been governed by the Han Dynasty for nearly 400 years, although there is a self-reliance and detachment from Xia, but from Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, another 200 years, in the eyes of the orthodox natives of Binghuaxia, the nobles of Linyi at this time are the rebellious ministers and thieves.

Among them, the radicals directly voted for Hou Junji and his party and volunteered to be guides.

It was under this circumstance that Wu Ba became acquainted with Hou Jun.

After the failure of negotiations with Lin Yiguo, Hou Junji simply spoke with a horizontal knife and declared with a ship.

According to the address provided by Wu Ba, a local, Hou Junji led his relatives to frequently raid the location of the nobles of the Linyi Kingdom near the sea, and plundered several times before retreating leisurely.

In the future, this place will inevitably be incorporated into the Han Dynasty, and some of these self-styled people are Tang warriors who teach him to be a man, and Hou Junji does not want to waste more time here.

The goods are appreciated, and Lin Yiguo's intelligence is to send rice seeds to Zhuya on the road together, and their own officials over there will send them to Chang'an urgently, and the rest of the matter is not something that he Hou Junji needs to worry about.

Continuing to the south, Hou Junji planned to go to the pit at the southern tip of the Indochina Peninsula to have a look, but he didn't expect that after the explanation of the local Wu Ba, they seemed to have just bumped into the annexation of the two countries on the Nanyang side.

Hou Junji woke up from his memories, and thought back to what Wu Ba had just said, and couldn't help muttering:

"This Bafa is also not satisfied, it is not enough to be the lord of the country by virtue of the position of a concubine, and he still wants to attack his brother without thinking about flesh and blood!"

"No, how can you sit idly by and ignore such injustices?"

Wu Ba's eyes were suddenly full of eagerness.

Although he still inherits the Han surname, his mother was separated and his father died early, and his memories of Huaxia are only the awkward Xia Yan taught by his father when he was a child, and the somewhat faded stories that have been told.

In those stories that are incompatible with the country of Linyi, the benevolent and righteous act in accordance with "reason", and the rangers beg for "righteousness" to sacrifice their lives.

Compared with them, the rules of conduct of the nobles of the kingdom of Nalinyi were as low as dust on the soles of their feet.

In the Tang Dynasty in front of him, Wu Ba seemed to see the people in the stories his father told him when he was a child, and walked from the illusion to reality.

So Wu Ba no longer hesitated, stepped forward and asked for his life:

"Wu Ba of Linyi County, I am willing to be the forerunner of the country, and I am willing to die for my Tang service!"
