The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 354 The little temple demon is so powerful!
In the late Silkworm Month, the southwest monsoon arrives, making it convenient to travel eastward.

One thousand, two hundred and thirty slaves have been safely delivered to the ship.

From their trip to Tianzhu, they could barely be considered a fruitful return.

The sea boat departs from the small fishing village of Bombay Island and sails southeast.

One month later, we reached the southernmost tip of Tianzhu.

This country is a subsidiary state of the Pandya dynasty in southern India, and is called the Kingdom of Jaffna.

Speaking of the Kingdom of Jaffna, the maritime merchants of Daxia have basically never heard of it.

More than two hundred years ago, the big merchants who used this trade route are long gone.

As rising stars, the furthest country they are familiar with is in Southeast Asia.

What kind of country is this?

Right now, most of the various rare gems sold to Europe by the merchants of the Dashi Empire come from this kingdom.

Some of the jewelry merchants from the Dashi Empire have lived in this island country for decades or even hundreds of years.

This ancient island country produces gemstones of many colors.

There are: sapphire, ruby, cat's eye, chrysoberyl, spinel, garnet, beryl, tourmaline and so on.

The king of the Jaffna Kingdom has also heard about such a behemoth as the Eastern Civilized Kingdom.

He received the envoys from the Great Xia Dynasty very cordially.

Also attending the reception were many military forces from the Pandya Kingdom in South India.

Looking at the young and weak King of Jaffna, Huang Shangshu couldn't help but worry for him.

Life in this vassal country must not be very easy.

After learning that the Great Xia Dynasty had established diplomatic relations with the Sultan of Delhi in northern Tianzhu.

This group of military forces obviously looked at them with much indifference.

Despite this, the credentials of the two countries were successfully exchanged.

The iconic gift of the Great Xia Dynasty was presented by Huang Shangshu, and the next day they also received a gift of gems from the King of Jaffna.

The ship merchants had already sold out their goods in Tianzhu, and watched helplessly as the court only used a small amount of palace embroidery, and exchanged it for several large boxes of gems in this small country.

Numb, numb, thinking about the ship full of pepper, I could only comfort myself.

They can make at least 180 times more profit this time.

Compared with the imperial court, they can be regarded as suddenly rich.

Think again of the war fought by these sailors in the Delhi Sultanate.

If it weren't for the presence of these navy troops, I'm afraid they would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, the ship merchants quickly stopped their greedy thoughts.

Without naval escort, no matter how many gems they get in exchange, they won't be able to transport them back to Daxia.

"Is this the legendary cat's eye stone? It's so beautiful! Dad, my mother will definitely like this!"

Yuan Wenjie and the others had already seen many kinds of gemstones, and they were also attracted by this cat's eye stone.

Will this brat be used as a reminder?

He had given his wife five or six hundred gems along the way.

We have all come to the Gem Kingdom, we must not let it go!

Well, let’s strive for more than a thousand!
The little demon in the temple is so powerful!
It has only been less than five days since I arrived, and the situation keeps popping up.

"Uncle, there are more than three waves of people targeting us!" Gao Huaiyu had the battle not long ago. Now is the time to be vigilant, and he is often alert at night.

Hei Wa agrees very much:

"It's normal. This island country has such a good geographical environment and is full of gems and spices. But isn't it coveted by a pack of wolves?
The King of Jaffna is much weaker than the Sultan of Delhi. We cannot expect him to support us. Brothers, cheer up. Anyone who dares to provoke me will be chopped to death by me! "

Gao Huaiyu clapped his hands and said: "Labour and management have been holding back their anger for a long time. Fuck you!"

If you can't go on a killing spree in northern Tianzhu, then make up for it in the south!

In fact, they really didn't plan to stay in this island country for long. They just wanted to make some supplies of food, fruits and vegetables, and fresh water, and traded gems by the way.

But in the eyes of these Pandya military forces, they are no less than big fat sheep.

Especially the silks and porcelain they brought out were very impressive.

Trading without capital is even more exciting.

A certain camp.

"Do you understand? How many people are coming from Daxia Dynasty this time? How many boats are there?"

"General, there are more than three hundred ships with too many people to count. Most of them are on the ship and have not gotten off. I estimate there are at least ten thousand people. I don't know how many people their ship can carry. !”

More than a hundred scouts lay down and counted for three days, but they couldn't count them clearly. They were too close and were afraid of being discovered by them.

"More than ten thousand, we can still give it a try! Anyway, the Great Xia Dynasty is far away from us. If they dare to attack, let's hide in the mountains! Haha, those guys in the north have beaten us so many times. Well, there’s nothing we can do about it?”

The few people who spoke with harsh words obviously classified the Daxia navy as a Tatar group, and their eyes were full of contempt.

"Let's do this."

at the same time.

Zhong Qinbo, Gao Huaiyu and the ten commanders of the navy were also plotting.

Hei Wa first suggested: "General, all kinds of people say that the best defense is offense. We can't just wait for these guys to come to the door and then fight! How about we also go to their lair to play?"

Gao Huaiyu applauded: "Hey, uncle and I really have the same vision! In this way, I will leave the main force on the ship to attract them and then arrange the battlefield. I will leave the job of confiscating the house to you to lead the way!" "

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The two people's eyes met in the air, and they both understood each other's meaning very well.

These military forces stationed in the island country of the Pandya Kingdom consist of three armies.

Basically, they are stationed in the northern part of the island, and the distance is not too far. From the first camp to the third camp, it only takes an hour at most.

It is estimated that even if they are wary of each other in normal times, they should also be consistent and help each other.

No matter what, the number of troops stationed in the vassal country cannot exceed that of the home country.

The soldiers of these three armies, all put together, are actually only more than 10,000 people.

They thought they would be one-on-one in terms of numbers, and with their understanding and advantage of the island country's terrain, their chances of winning would be at least 70-80%.

They misestimated the loading capacity of Daxia's ships and failed to estimate the combat effectiveness of Daxia's naval forces.

After years of bullying in the Jaffna Kingdom, he finally ran into a tough opponent.

Without knowing the strength of their opponents, each family only left less than three to five hundred people to defend the base camp.

It was almost like they came out in full force.

They never expected that shortly after they set off tonight, three thousand naval troops led by Uncle Zhongqin would attack their lair.

Of course, for finding these people so accurately, it is indispensable to thank the King of Jaffna.

The young king sent his confidants to give them detailed maps of the three armies and garrisons of the Pandya Kingdom last night.
