Chapter 815: Tang Mingguo

  Chapter 815 Tang Mingguo

   "Is that really a princess?" Zhang Chao came in, "That **** doesn't look like a nice person."

   "How do you see it?"

  Zhang Chao believes that a princess of Linyi cannot escape marriage, and after a brutal naval battle, she should not be so calm. "Maybe she is the female assassin of Eagle's Nest, Saburo must be careful."

  Qin Lang felt that he still had a good eye for seeing people. Linyi Princess Isana, who called herself Fan Lin in Chinese, was quite honest, and the story was complete without any flaws.

   "She will stay with us for the time being, treat her as a distinguished guest, treat her well, and don't be rude." He chuckled, "But your suspicions are justified, I will send someone to investigate, and you will also be secretly monitored."

   "What if she is really Princess Linyi who escaped marriage?" Zhang Chao asked again.

  Qin Lang didn't answer her. If that story is true, this matter must be handled with caution. Fan Lin gave him a good impression, the key is that this girl is very courageous, and Qin Lang heard some interesting things from her story.

  Linyi, Chenla, and even Funan, the three major powers on the Indochina Peninsula are intending to strengthen their alliance. It may be that they want to unite to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and there seems to be a shadow of the Guangming Sect.

  The arrival of a fleet of more than 10,000 men and thousands of captives made Lingao Port more lively. Countless merchants rushed over to sell their fish, meat, poultry, eggs, fruits and vegetables to the fleet.

   Several brothels in the city even got wind of it, and a large group of scantily clad young women came to solicit customers.

   Sailors are always lonely and restless.

  Many people were asking about the naval battle not long ago, and the sailors were bragging about it.

  Qin Lang arranged shifts for the fleet, then gave everyone a three-day holiday, and gave a reward so that everyone could play to their heart's content after going ashore.

  After announcing the necessary military regulations, everyone rushed ashore happily.

   "These guys, with the bounties they exchanged for their lives, they probably won't have a single penny left on them when they return to the ship."

   "After a battle, you need to vent. After a tense battle, you always have to relax. Besides, we have been sailing at sea for so many days, and we are tired enough." Qin Lang can understand them.

  Besides, he only gave each sailor soldier a small reward, and more was recorded in the account. This money was originally for them to go ashore to play.

  In three days, some people will go to drink, some will go to the brothel, some will even go to the casino, some will shop, some will eat and drink, and enjoy themselves, but this is what they deserve.

  The officer in charge of logistics went ashore and began to purchase supplies, and the officer in charge of maintenance began to repair the warship as soon as it landed.

  More than a hundred armed merchant ships, large and small, Qin Lang rowed some relatively intact large ships to the South China Sea Navy. Some other large ships, temporarily managed by the South China Sea Navy, will be assigned to the East China Sea and Beihai Fleets in the future. Of course, the South China Sea will definitely ask the two fleets to exchange things.

  Qin Lang distributed some to the governors who participated in the war, and Wuan Prefecture also distributed some.

The tyrants in Lingao wanted to buy ships, but in the end, only some of the damaged ones could not be repaired for a while, and some smaller merchant ships were willing to sell them, and the price was still high, but those tycoons who made money selling agarwood and betel nuts , happily agreed without blinking an eye.

  However, they can’t come up with a lot of cash, so they can only use pearls, agarwood, yellow rosewood, betel nuts, and some gold and silver as discounts.

  Qin Lang specially summoned a group of tyrants from Lingao, including local Luoyue people, some slang people, and some Han people.

   There are also Hu merchants in Lingao, but they are all hidden.

  Qin Lang sent troops to seal up the churches of the Guangming Church in the city, and to capture the barbarians and Han merchants related to the Guangming Church and the Eagle's Nest.

The protector of the Guangming Sect who led the fleet to attack him, the bearded man who claimed to have a deep friendship with King Linyi, was ordered by Qin Lang to be killed in Lingao Port. A fishing net wrapped him tightly. The meat protruded from the mesh, and the executioner cut off the protruding meat one by one.

   Cut a knife, the Dharma king howled.

   One knife after another, compared to the three days of the Guangming leader being cut in a meticulous manner, the Dharma king was really cut ten thousand times, and he couldn't cry out for a long time, his whole body was **** and bloody, but he died within a short time.

  Illuminati was declared a cult.

  The Han Yue people in Lingao were addicted to watching it, and then went back to their respective homes.

   "Aren't you afraid of the God of Light's revenge?"

  Fan Lin asked Qin Lang in surprise, the Guangming Sect had not been in Linyi for a long time, but it had helped Fan Lin's great-grandfather win the Linyi throne and establish a dynasty. His grandfather, Fan Fanzhi, fought against the Central Plains and was attacked by the Sui army. Later, with the help of the Guangming Sect, he escaped the siege of the Sui army. After the Sui army retreated, he successfully restored the country.

  The Illuminati Cult is very powerful, and their assassins are even more elusive.

   Not only Linyi, but also major countries such as Chenla, Funan, Pyu, and Gantuli have all been threatened by them, and later they all acquiesced in their existence and secretly cooperated with each other.

  As for those small city-states, not to mention, Fan Lin knew that the kings of several city-states were killed by the assassins of King Guangming.

   And the second cousin, the devil, who she wanted to escape with all her heart, had a very good relationship with the Illuminati. He often hired the Eagle's Nest Assassin of the Illuminati to assassinate enemies.

   Linyi, Chenla, and Funan of the three coastal countries are actually quite strong. All three countries have at least 5,000 war elephants, which is a strength that can go sideways on the Indochina Peninsula.

   Its population is also quite large.

  The prince of Chenla, the fief city he built under his own name has a population of 20,000 households. The king's capital of Linyi, Sengapura, is also named Lion City or Linyipu in Chinese, and has more than 10,000 households.

   And Funan Kingdom is even the strongest among the Three Kingdoms.

  Fan Lin couldn't imagine why Qin Lang was not afraid of the Guangming Cult.

"Did you see that naval battle? This navy is just a new navy that I have just established in Datang for a year. There are two other navy like my Datang. The combat power of the navy is actually far inferior to that of the Northern and Southern Yamen. The army, the twelve guards of the southern yamen of the Tang Dynasty, has 720,000 elite soldiers who dare to fight, and the eighth army in the northern yamen is the elite of the elite, and it is the army of the emperor."

   "You understand now?"

Fan Lin nodded, with shock in her eyes. Such a powerful fleet is actually an army that Datang cannot rank in. No wonder that when his grandfather fought against the Central Plains, the Emperor of the Central Plains only sent one general with 20,000 troops. conquered their capital.

   "The Guangming Cult threatened you Linyi and other countries with assassins, but they couldn't threaten Datang."

  In Lingao Port, after exposing the criminal law to the high-level prisoners among the prisoners, Qin Lang also directly sold some prisoners who were slightly injured.

  After interrogating the churches and strongholds of the Guangming Sect in Hainan Island from the captives, Qin Lang was even more thunderous.

  The cook on the ship saw the purchased suckling pig, so he roasted a golden-yellow and crispy suckling pig for Qin Lang, served it with fresh sea fish sashimi, oysters, and prawns.

  Since Niu Jianhu knew that raw oysters have aphrodisiac effects, he loved them very much. He ate eighteen raw oysters in one go without stopping.

"Sanlang, those damned maggots of the Illumination Cult are really like mosquitoes, they have their shadows everywhere. This small Lingao has been infiltrated by them a long time ago. What kind of God of Illuminati, Illumination Church, this place is everywhere. The Hu merchants on the island are basically related to them."

  After he went to the island, he personally led people to search and arrest them, and made another small fortune.

  Qin Lang is not very interested in ransacking homes and confiscating money. Lingao is only a small port after all, and what he cares about is not giving the Guangming Cult a chance to survive.

  Before when he was in Guangzhou, he had already ordered the suppression of all places. After all, this island has not been implemented in place, and there are still many fish that slipped through the net.

   "Have you found the Assassin Island?"

   "I found it. It's very convenient to follow the map. I found it as soon as I looked for it. It was hidden very deep. After we broke through the Assassin Island, we got clues from it. There are two Assassin Islands in the east sea."

  During the time of Soochow in the Three Kingdoms, the Sun family opened up a sea route from Guangzhou to the South China Sea. This route did not take the Qiongzhou Strait, but directly passed through the southeast of Hainan Island, a faster route.

It is precisely because of this route that during the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the southeast of Hainan Island was also developed. Both Wan'an Prefecture and Zhenzhou were developed because of this route. Several counties such as Lingshui, Linchuan, and Ningyuan were also important on the route. supply port.

   "Find them and kill them all, leaving none behind."

  Qin Lang said ruthlessly.

  Assassin Island is the secret base of the Guangming Cult, and all the assassins are trained on it. If these residual poisons are not cleaned up, they will always be a hidden danger.

   Besides, Assassin Island is also a treasure trove of the Illuminati Cult, and there are many treasures of the Illuminati Cult on it.

   "Don't worry, people have been arranged to go there long ago, but it will take some time to go around to the southeast."

  Qin Lang nodded, the two strongholds should not be too difficult. Qin Lang didn't have time to wait here, he had to rush to Qinzhou Port, and also had to go overland to Yongzhou.

  Although Ah Huang advised him not to worry, let Juding consume the barbarians of the left and right streams first, and then a fisherman will benefit. But Qin Lang believed that he had to rush to Yongzhou as soon as possible, so that he could better grasp the situation.

  Princess Linyi wanted Qin Lang to lead his troops south to conquer Chenla on the grounds that Chenla had something to do with the Juding rebellion.

   "The reason is far-fetched. Juding and Chenla are thousands of miles apart, and there are Heman tribes, Tangming Kingdom, and many tribes and city-states in between."

   "Duke Wei, don't forget that there is also a Guangming Sect that spreads all over the place." The princess said.

Qin Lang smiled, thinking that the princess wanted to use him too eagerly. Although from Juding to Tangming, among the many barbarians in these areas, there are also many Ailao who moved south from Lingnan or even Yunnan. Luo Yue and other descendants, there are many Liao barbarians.

But after all, they are far away, and it is unlikely that the Juding tribe really has much connection with Chenla. Although Chenla was the most powerful in history, it once expanded to the Laos area in the north, but the current strength of Chenla is not It's too strong, not as powerful as Funan.

  The area north of the Mekong River, especially the mountainous area in the north, is full of barbarians.

Tangming Kingdom was established together with Linyi, and it has been hundreds of years. It used to pay tribute to the powerful Funan vassals, but also to the Central Plains Dynasty, but there was no direct contact with the Central Plains Dynasty, unlike Linyi It is connected to the Central Plains by sea and land.

Historically, Tangming Kingdom was conquered by Nanzhao King after the rise of Nanzhao Kingdom in southern Yunnan after the middle Tang Dynasty. Nanzhao King built a city in the middle reaches of the Mekong River and immigrated to reclamation. Later, they established Lancang Kingdom, also known as Nanzhang. , until modern times.

  At this time, the Tangming Kingdom was essentially a relatively backward tribal alliance, which was somewhat similar to the Juding Kingdom before, consisting of Meng, that is, states.

   "Princess, tell me more about the situation in Tangming Kingdom."

  Qin Lang said with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Whether it's Zhenla or Linyi, Qin Lang has no time to manage it for the time being, and the immediate priority is Juding. To solve Juding, there are two Ximans on the left and right, who are far away and close at hand. On the couch, there are other people sleeping soundly, so how can they have the energy to take care of other people's affairs far away?
