Chapter 1549 Mud
Chapter 1549 Mud
A large ship of ten thousand stones arrived at the Strait of Malacca and moored in front of a natural harbor. Chao Kun and his party got off the large ship, pointed to the peninsula covered with endless coconut trees and various tropical plants and said, "Our emperor's condition is Here, we need a piece of land to build a trade city, and if your country agrees, we will send troops to fight against the Chuluo country to protect the Sanfoqi dynasty."
Chanon looked at it for a while and said, "I don't know how much land you want?"
"This is a long and narrow peninsula. The land we want extends from the southernmost point to the north for three hundred miles, including the surrounding small islands."
Chanon was taken aback, "Three hundred miles, so much?"
"It's actually not much. The whole peninsula is very narrow and long, about two thousand miles long. We only want a small part of the southernmost part. And even if it's three hundred miles, it's basically a dense jungle. The dense jungle is useless to you. We mainly want fresh water, we want that fresh water river, besides the fresh water river, we can only use a piece of land by the sea to build a trade city, which is just a drop in the bucket for your huge Srivijaya dynasty."
The other party wanted the Danshui River, and Chanong fully understood that without fresh water, even if the trade city was built, it would be a dead city, but he was still a little worried. Once the trade city was built, would it have a great impact on the trade of the Three Buddhas?
"But once the trade city is built, you won't go to Palembang!"
Chao Kun laughed, "Trade is about buying and selling goods. Whoever owns the goods will buy them from there. Of course we will go to Palembang. Even if it is a businessman from Dashi, he must go to Palembang to buy spices. It's not affecting the trade status of Palembang, on the contrary, it will only promote the prosperity of trade. Besides, the trade city we built is more of a transit warehouse. If you need any goods from the Yong Dynasty, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to Quanzhou and Guangzhou. Come directly Trade City, you can have as many as you want."
Chanon couldn’t make the decision, so he took out a map of the Three Buddhas, drew a circle on the peninsula with the charcoal pen Chao Kun gave him, and said with a smile: “This pen is very useful, can you give it to me?”
"Give you a few more!"
Chao Kun took out a few more charcoal brushes and handed them to him.
This charcoal pen was first used by boatmen as a liner. It was just a piece of charcoal, but after being reminded by Chen Qing, Zheng Tongquan recruited skilled craftsmen to continuously improve it. The case is more practical and convenient than a brush dipped in ink on an inkstone. It is popular among the people at the bottom and is popular all over the world. Although one is very cheap, the Zheng family is also earning a lot of money.
They boarded the boat immediately, Chanong returned directly to Palembang, and Chao Kun went to Yongnan Island.
The [-] reinforcements from the Yong Army had arrived on Yongnan Island, accompanied by twenty ships of ten thousand stone and a large amount of food and military resources.
Yongnan Island has 500 troops and nearly [-] warships, of which [-] are large ships with thousands of stones.
Cao De greeted the arrival of the fleet on the harbor pier. The main general of the reinforcements this time was Ruan De, the son of Ruan Xiaoqi in Liangshanbo, who had already been promoted to the commander of the upper army.
"Did you bring any new water warfare weapons that you are looking forward to this time?" Cao De asked with a smile.
"There is one thing that is guaranteed to satisfy you!"
Ruan De ordered his men to bring a big box.Opening the lid of the box, he said with a smile, "Your envoy, please take a look!"
"Fire Tribulus!" Cao De recognized the contents of the box at a glance.
"It's just like a caltrop. It's called a thorn thunder. It weighs twenty pounds. When it is ejected, its long spikes will hit the hull and explode."
"With what projection?"
"Using stone cannons, we have them on the ship, and they can be nailed to the opponent's ship in about fifty steps!"
The trebuchet is a projectile, and the stone cannon is a giant crossbow that can be ejected in a straight line, but the range is not far, less than a hundred steps for twenty catties, and the artillery was invented to replace it.
"Good! I'm looking forward to it."
Cao De asked again with a smile: "What else?"
"There is also fire sludge, which is very viscous and can stick to the ship and burn."
Fire oil mud was first invented to deal with the enemy's trebuchets. It overcomes the disadvantage that liquid oil will flow away. At first, sand and mud were mixed with fire oil, but now it is no longer used. Now it uses nitrate powder, turpentine powder, sulfur powder and fish powder. The glue is mixed with fire oil to make a sticky mud, which sticks firmly to the solid and burns. It is usually thrown with a small trebuchet with high accuracy.
Yongnan Island is changing day by day. Compared with a few months ago, it has changed again. A new city has sprung up, and military camps, people and shops have all moved into the county seat. During the typhoon season, there is no need to worry about the tent being blown by the hurricane. Walk.
Twenty thousand Japanese laborers are busy planting rice and sugarcane. About 3000 of them want to go back to their hometown, and they will be sent away soon, while the remaining 8000 people expressed their willingness to work for another two years, waiting for the hemp. After obtaining the land in Liujia, they will be sent to reclaim and build cities.
A few days later, Chao Kun also came to Yongnan Island, and it was a coincidence that as soon as he arrived at Yongnan Island, the envoys from the Wuni Kingdom rushed over.
The country of Luni is Brunei today. During the Song Dynasty, it controlled most of the northern part of Kalimantan Island, while the Srivijaya Dynasty controlled the southern part of Kalimantan Island. The Srivijaya Dynasty continued to expand northwards in an attempt to destroy the country , but the Srivijaya Kingdom has declined, and it is no longer able to annex the Luni Kingdom.
The envoy of the Wuni Kingdom is called Balima, the prince of the Wuni Kingdom. He also came to Yongnan Island because he got the news that the Zhuluo Kingdom might invade eastward on a large scale, which made the Wuni Kingdom extremely panic. The tragedy of Zhu Luo's invasion is still fresh in people's memory.
Balima entered the county town and walked on the wide and flat stone road, both sides are full of residential buildings in the Central Plains style. He looked curiously at this newly built new city all the way, his eyes were full of envy and shock. It has only been more than a year At that time, the Han people had already built this new city.
At the end of the road is the official office of the Yongnan Xuanfu envoy. Balima was invited into the lobby of the official office. Cao De and Chao Kun met him, of course Cao De was the main one. Cao De was the Yongnan Xuanfu envoy, representing the Yong Dynasty in the The highest official in Nanyang.
And Chao Kun came to Nanyang on a business trip, but when it comes to trade or land purchases, Chao Kun can also say a few words, most of the time, it is Cao De who is talking.
The two parties met and sat down as guest and host. Balima bowed and said, and the Han man next to him translated: "The prince said that last year when the Yong Dynasty was established, the Wuni Kingdom wanted to send envoys to go to the hajj, but due to various reasons such as the weather, it was delayed. I haven't been able to go, but I will definitely go this year, and I would like to ask the Xuanfu envoy to convey our king's high respect to His Majesty the Yong Dynasty Emperor."
The reason why the Wuni Kingdom can survive for hundreds of years is because they know that they are weak and weak, and they understand that a small country is humble. For the Celestial Kingdom, they also like this kind of country the most. Not only will they not destroy it, but they will also protect them.
Sure enough, Cao De was very satisfied with Prince Balima's attitude. He smiled happily and said, "I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will welcome you warmly. In fact, Yongnan Island and Luoni Country are neighbors. When the hurricane blew last year, there were many Fishermen from the Shaolini country came to take refuge on Yongnan Island, and the two families are so close together, so there should be more contacts."
The Han Chinese who acted as translators for them were very powerful, and they spoke quickly and clearly, which made the communication between them smooth, and Chao Kun couldn't help but look at him more often.
Balima said again: "Cao Shijun's words are very reasonable. This time, I came here on the entrustment of my father to ask if you are interested. We are willing to donate a piece of land to Yongguo."
The translator passed on the original words to me, and made it clear that it was a free gift.
Cao De and Chao Kun looked at each other, both of them were very surprised, that someone offered to give them land, which is a bit unusual!
Cao De smiled and asked: "Of course I am interested. First of all, I need to know how much land is going to be given to us?"
