Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 553 War Escalation
It should be said that this was a trap carefully prepared by Fan Ning. All the soldiers of the three armies saw the fact that dozens of Sanfoqi warships chased the sentry ship of the Song Army which was attacking pirates, and even captured one of them. This is naked Provocative acts of war.

The Song Army suddenly stood on the moral high ground, no matter which country in Nanyang, 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 to bully the weak.In order to safeguard the honor of the great power, the Song army had to launch a counterattack.

There was no suspense in this encounter. Under the ruthless crushing of the [-] stone ships of the Song Army, more than [-] ships were smashed into pieces, and most of them were sunk in a short time. He fled, but dozens of warships of the Song Army pursued him closely.

There are still more than 35 miles away from the coast of the Sanfoqi Kingdom, and only 28 of the [-] Sanfoqi stand still remain. The other [-] ships were all hit and sunk, and nearly a thousand soldiers died in the sea.

At this time, more than 100 Sanfoqi warships appeared. They came to meet the ships of their own country, but they had no intention of fighting the Song army, but the development of the situation could no longer be determined by them.

Fanning immediately issued an order for the entire army to fight.

Twenty paddle boats with [-] shi all rushed towards the Srivijaya warship.

The navy commander of Sanfoqi Kingdom is called Pu Wenda, a well-known hardliner in the military. He initially advocated a sneak attack on Xingang, but after the proposal was rejected by the king, he considered using pirates. More than a hundred sailors and forty small warships were dressed as pirates.

At this moment, when Pu Wenda saw that 35 of the [-] warships he had sent out had escaped, he was furious and ordered: "The Song army invaded Sanfoqi and completely wiped them out!"

More than 100 warships beat the war drums and killed the Song Army warships from all directions.

Although the warships of the Song army are tall and strong, they are clumsy and have a deep draft, which makes it difficult to work in shallow water areas. However, the Sanfoqi warships are flexible and flexible, and their number is seven times that of the Song army's warships. This is exactly what we saw. , Pu Wenda felt that he could win this battle.

Fan Ning has already fixed his eyes on the opponent's main ship, which is the largest warship in the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom, with a load capacity of [-] shi. It was refitted from a cargo ship of the Song Dynasty. The volume of ships exported made it very difficult for the Three Buddhas to obtain a large ship. This three thousand stone warship was also the largest ship in the Three Buddhas.

Fan Ning's [-] stone paddle boat rushed towards the opponent's main boat against the wind and waves. Seeing the opponent's menacing approach, Pu Wenda urgently ordered: "Avoid it!"

His ship turned sharply to the left to avoid the violent collision of the opponent's big ship. The two flagships passed by each other.

Just when the two ships were about to separate, a black iron bump weighing forty to fifty catties was thrown from the big ship, 'Boom! ' smashed through the roof of the cabin and fell into the cabin.

Including Song Jun, no one knew what happened. Just when the two ships were less than [-] feet away, there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the enemy flagship burst into flames, and then thick smoke rose into the sky. Suddenly, the earth-shattering explosion made many people's ears ring.

The [-] stone warship of the Song Army also shook violently from side to side due to the shock wave, and was almost overturned.

When the gunpowder smoke dissipated, there was a scene on the sea that stunned everyone. The three thousand stone main ship of the Srivijaya army was blown up beyond recognition. The hull was blown into two pieces and was sinking rapidly. What is frightening is that there is not a single soldier surviving on the sea, but it is full of more than 300 soldiers!The main general Pu Wenda was also on board, and the entire army was destroyed by the bombing.

Fan Ning was also secretly afraid. He didn't expect the power of the iron fire thunder to be so terrifying. If it exploded when it staggered, then his ship would definitely be overturned by the impact wave. Throw with a trebuchet fifty paces away.

The main ship was bombed and sunk, and the impact on the Sanfoqi National Navy was fatal. The morale of the other warships was low, and they had no intention of fighting any more, so they retreated to the harbor one after another. It sank, and there were soldiers calling for help everywhere on the sea, but no one paid any attention to these drowning soldiers. When they entered the harbor, there were more than [-] Srivijaya warships left.

The Song Army's Qianshi-class warships were also dispatched. They searched along the coast and continued to destroy the pirate ships.

A shocking and terrifying scene appeared in the port of Mo Luoyu. Hundreds of military ships were backlogged together. The Song army began to set fire to the ships, and thick smoke billowed in the port.

The king Zhanbei was terrified and urgently ordered Dihua Jialuo to come to Fanning to beg for mercy.

Dihua Jialuo was brought onto the big boat, and he said anxiously: "Mr. Fan, why did you attack the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom?"

A businessman acting as an interpreter is almost a simultaneous interpreter.

Fan Ning said coldly: "The patrol ships of the Song army were chasing pirates normally. It was your warships that attacked the warships of the Song army, and you also took the initiative to declare war. A naval battle is over, but the war is not over. Please tell the king, unless Sanfoji The country completely surrendered, and agreed to the terms of the Song army, otherwise the Song army will go ashore to conquer and carry the war to the end."

Dihua Jialuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried back to the palace.

At this time, King Zhanbei had already got some news from the fleeing navy. The Song army had clashed with the Sanfoqi navy while chasing the pirates. An incomparably powerful weapon directly sank Pu Wenda's boat.

Immediately, Zhanbei was angry and anxious, and cursed Pu Wenda for being stupid, and he would drag down the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom after his own death.

Dihua Jialuo also rushed over and said anxiously: "My lord, the Song army has declared war on us, and I'm afraid they will come ashore."

Zhanbei urgently sent someone to invite the leader of the chamber of commerce, Pu Chen, to discuss it. Pu Kai was the uncle of Pu Wenda, the commander of the navy who died in battle. They are already driven to death, what else do they want to do? We have an army of [-], and they are not their opponents at sea, so we don’t have to be afraid of them when we come ashore.”

Another military commander, Dan Jialuo, also said: "Your Majesty, it is better to prepare both ways. On the one hand, go to negotiate with them, and on the other hand, assemble the army. If the negotiation is good, everyone will rest. Are we going to be driven out of Luzon by the whole country like Luzon?"

It is also a good plan to make two-handed preparations. Zhanbei then said to Dihua Jialuo: "You go to negotiate with Fanning. I want to know what conditions he wants?"

Dihua Jialuo had no choice but to return to Fanning's big ship. At this time, the bay of Malayu City was covered by raging fire. Not only all the warships were ignited, but even the civilian ships moored in the bay were not spared.

Dihua Jialuo was frightened and took a long circle before being brought to Fanning's main ship.

By this time Fanning had written down the conditions:

First, the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom must hand over all the pirates and compensate the pirates for the loss of 100 million taels of gold.

Second, the Three Buddhas Qi State ceded the peninsula across the strait to Song Dynasty.

Thirdly, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom shall no longer have a naval force.

Fourth, the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom shall no longer have any regulations that discriminate against merchants in the Song Dynasty.

Fifth, the Three Buddhas Qi State hosts the capital of the Song Dynasty, and envoys are sent to make a pilgrimage to the Song Emperor every year.

The above five conditions, once the Sanfo Qi Kingdom 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 was sitting in the cabin, staring blankly at the written conditions in front of him. The Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom did not have its own language, Sanskrit was used by the people, and Chinese was used by the government.

In fact, Fan Ning didn't meet him at all, and ordered someone to hand over a written condition letter to him. Fan Ning knew very well that it was too early to say that it was too early to negotiate, and they would not hurt Sanfo Qiguo. There will be no negotiating sincerity.

Dihua Jialuo sighed a long time in his heart. He knew that all of this stemmed from the fact that the other party wanted the land north of the strait, but Sanfoqi declined, and the nightmares came one after another.

Of course, everyone considers the problem from the perspective of the victim. Dihua Jialuo did not expect that the Sanfo Qi State has discriminated against Song merchants for decades. Monopolized the huge profits of transit trade.

He also didn't expect that the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom sent sailors pretending to be pirates to harm the trading ships in the Nanyang region everywhere.

He only thought that the business of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom was suppressed, and the Song Dynasty did not give the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom a way to live, and now it is coming again.

Helpless, he had no choice but to return to the capital with the condition letter put forward by Fan Ning.
