According to the current population standard of Long Ya Men, it is at most a middle county, and even the county is not qualified, but Imperial Court has designated it as Wang County, which shows the importance attached to Long Ya Men, which shows that the county is very high For the time being, the population size is still very small, but soon, many people will flock to settle here. The population breakthrough of 10000 households is not impossible, and the population size of 10000 households can meet the needs of Wangxian County.

In addition to Long Ya Men County, neighboring Malacca County, and Zhanghai County are also the specifications of Shang County. It is very likely that they will continue to be upgraded and become Jin County and Wang County in the future.

These relatively independent county towns will also form a new county in the future. The name is well thought out, and it is called Nanyang County. Long Ya Men with the county governed in the middle is the most suitable.

That is to say, Long Ya Men, which has an excellent geographical location, has not only become a county with very high standards, but will soon become the county seat of Nanyang County. The discussion on the formation of a new Nanyang County has begun. It has not been decided yet, so first establish a few county towns separately and send officials to govern.

After the follow-up feedback, then decide who will be the guard of Nanyang County, it is likely to choose from several County Magistrate.

Long Ya Men is a few thousand miles away from Yazhou and Jiaozhou, the southernmost tip of Great Tang. It can be regarded as an enclave that hangs overseas. If you want to rule firmly here, you must station a strong armed force of formidable power here Naturally, territories that rely on the sea are most effective with a water army, and a strong naval division can take advantage of the entire critical Sea Territory.

This is a very important part of the maritime trade route proposed by Li An. It has been done now, and the pirates have almost paid off. The one third route of the entire route is safe.

But farther away there are greater challenges waiting for Li An ’s Great Tang fleet. The next fulcrum is near the Lion Country, where is also the key position of the Maritime Silk Road, the southernmost protrusion of the South Asian subcontinent, and also the sea. The low-end trade routes are very busy. Almost all the trading vessels of the Great Tang and Aab Caliphate countries have to call in this area, and then continue to their respective destinations after supply.

Although there are no narrow straits in this area, ships can completely avoid them, but the ships in this era are too small, the tonnage seems insufficient, and the speed is also very slow. In this way, the living supplies that are carried will soon be consumed. It is necessary to replenish at the beach frequently, and this area is the best midway supply station. After the replenishment, you can go straight to Malacca, or to Harbor of Aab Caliphate. If you do n’t stop here halfway, then It is very likely that a tragedy of water depletion will occur, resulting in the death of the crew.

In short, no matter what, this area at the southern tip of the South Asian subcontinent is a hurdle that all sea ships can’t get around. It must pass there and be a little docked.

Therefore, in the era of Great Tang, the importance of the southern tip of the South Asian subcontinent is the same as that of Malacca for maritime trade.

Although there is no narrow strait in this area, ships can pass far away, but the urgent demand for supplies must make all ships pass and dock here, which makes the business here gradually develop and become relatively wealthy. area.

Such an important geographical location is also an area where Great Tang must be involved. If this important area can be controlled, it will have an important effect on the Maritime Silk Road. This area is also another important area besides Malacca.

It is not difficult for Great Tang to control this area. The small countries near Malacca Strait stand in great numbers, and at the southern tip of the South Asian subcontinent, they are also small countries stand in great numbers. With so many small countries, the power seems to be very scattered There is no strength against the Great Tang Empire, so it is not difficult to win.

The next stop is Gegu Luoguo, located near the Malacca Strait, and several thousands li away from the southern tip of the South Asian subcontinent.

There are two options for starting from Geguluo. One is to follow the coastline and go around a semi-circle to reach the vicinity of the Lion Country. The second is to go directly west to the vicinity of the Lion Country.

These two options have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of walking along the coast is that they can be replenished at any time and can pass through many small countries, but the disadvantage is that they have to travel 2 or 2 times more.

The advantage of direct access is that it is close and you can reach your destination faster, but the disadvantage is that there is no supply in the middle. Once the speed is too slow, it is easy to have insufficient food and water. It will be more dangerous and go. You cannot go through the small countries along the way and talk about cooperation with these small countries.

Before he arrived in Geguluo, Li An was thinking about the route, whether it was one by one, the passing of a small country, or the direct 10000000 lion country.

Of course, there are many Great Tang officials who are also thinking about this issue. Their opinions are not uniform, and some support going along the coast, while others support it directly.

The officials who support the coast are relatively slippery officials, who like to eat and drink along the way, while the officials who support the direct are relatively more straightforward, hoping to open the Silk Road sooner, so that this path will benefit Great Tang and 100 surnames throughout the world.

After Li An thought about it again and discussed it with many officials, he made the final decision, that is, Bingfen 3 Road, along the coastal route to visit the countries along the way, and the other way directly to 2 million Lions .

Some officials walked along the coast, Li An led the main force directly to the lion country, because of the importance of the vicinity of the lion country, it is unlikely to leave in a short time after arriving in the lion country, so in the end, this Fleet along the coast will definitely Converged with the main force of Li An.

For example, when near Malacca, Li An stayed for a few months. The mission was mainly to eliminate the pirate group. At the same time, it was also to understand the local situation and prepare for the Great Tang Empire to control this area.

Then, after arriving in the Lion Country, Li An must also face the same task, and must also prepare to control this area. In addition to persuading the small countries to cooperate with the Great Tang, it is also necessary to find the important for the Tang Army to station troops. Location, just like Long Ya Men at the entrance of Malacca.

Perhaps the land near the South Asian subcontinent has a master, but as long as it is needed by the Great Tang Empire, even if there is a land, there can be a piece of land, and there are pirate groups in this generation. It is said that there is no mistake in grabbing pirate sites. .

As far as Li An knows, at the southern tip of the South Asian subcontinent, the terrain is very bad. Mountains and valleys separate the various areas, thus forming different tribes. These tribes gradually formed small countries, which caused this area. There are especially many small countries.

Reunification has never been achieved in thousands of years, and finally, because of the invasion of Western colonists, it opened up the main communication road between the mountains, which combined this geographical area into a unified country.

In any case, at least in the era of Great Tang, there are many small countries on the South Asian subcontinent, and there is no unified probability.

Ancient nations were formed naturally, and there are likely to be a lot of unowned land between them. These lands are either because of barrenness, inconvenient transportation, or because they are too close to the enemy. So it was abandoned and became a wasteland, Desolate Land that no one wants to own.

In fact, these abandoned Desolate Lands are likely to contain huge resources underneath. Even without these important resources, the land itself is also huge resources, stones, trees, ores, water resources, these all are important national resources.

These landless areas can be occupied, so that these landless areas become the territory of the Great Tang. Of course, these landless areas are likely to be places with poor conditions, which makes Li An a bit Big brains.

After crossing the strait, I arrived at the Geguluo Kingdom. This small country is similar to the previous small country. Its population and soldiers are very small. When I saw the Great Tang fleet, I was so scared that I could not straighten my waist. Say, there will definitely be no accidents.

Li An is not worried about Ge Guluo. This country is easy to get at first glance. After finishing this country, we will go to the far-away South Asian subcontinent.

Due to the rampant piracy of Malacca, not many merchants of the Great Tang can reach the South Asian subcontinent. Therefore, they do not know much about the situation there. Before going there, they must first understand.

The Geguluo Kingdom is the starting point of the 10000000 million South Asian subcontinent. The 100 surnames and officials here must be more familiar with the South Asian subcontinent than the Great Tang.

Li An needs to figure out the specific situation of the South Asian subcontinent here, so that he can successfully control the southernmost point of the South Asian subcontinent, so that the Great Tang can hit a nail there, and then control the entire South Asian subcontinent, which is the Great Tang ’s maritime silk.路 服务。 Road service.

“Minister Li, Ge Gu Luo Kingdom has arrived, the king personally greeted him.”

A subordinate reminded Li An who was still thinking in the cabin.

Li An complied, opened the mouth and said: “After disembarking, a few of you are going to find some Terrain Map near the Lion Country, the more the better.”

“Yes, Minister Li.”

The subordinate responded.

Li An nodded, disembarked and met King Gegu Luoguo. After a brief greeting, he went to the palace to stay.

Dinner still needs some time. The king went to rest, and Li An also rested in the rooms of the palace.

“Minister Li, this is the map we found. Look, what kind of specifications are there, which are often used by merchants, and sea routes?”

A subordinate entered the door and said.

Li An glanced, very satisfied, and looked at it seriously.

The drawings are very clear, and they were drawn by the merchants during the trade. The roads, cities, and countries along the way are marked. These are the drawings that Li An needs.

This drawing was too timely. Li An was in need of it to find out the status of the South Asian subcontinent. This was sent, too timely.

It can be clearly seen from the map that dozens of small countries are distributed at the southernmost tip of the South Asian subcontinent, and on the small island across the sea, there is a relatively large small country, namely the Lion Country.

There are also dozens of smaller countries on the mainland, such as the South Tianzhu State, East Tianzhu State, West Tianzhu State, Brahman State, East Buddha Country, Baltic State, Dachang State, etc.

These slightly larger small countries are small coastal countries, that is, they have their own estuaries. If not, how can they develop into larger small countries. Coastal means that they can more easily communicate with outside businessmen, thereby increasing their own Wealth, to gain more powerful strength.

After analyzing these small countries, Li An saw that the most powerful small country is the lion country that hangs overseas.

The area of ​​the Lion Country is not very large, about twice the area of ​​the Great Tang Yazhou. Compared with the Great Tang Empire, it is a small and very unremarkable small country, but compared with several small countries across the sea , It looks much stronger.

This small country has benefited from a relatively independent island environment, and relatively good terrain and traffic conditions, and has gradually developed to a scale of several hundred thousand people. The city is also very large. It is said that the number of monks alone is as high as 100000. The scale can be described as It is very huge.

The favorable conditions of being on the main road of marine transportation have made the Lion Country richer, the population has gradually increased, and its strength has gradually become stronger.

In order to protect its wealth, the Lion Country has built a huge army with a total of more than 50000 soldiers. It is a very powerful force in this part of the South Asian subcontinent.

It is much stronger than many small countries on the other side. In order to snatch more resources, the Lion Country started to attack the other side, and it was necessary to occupy part of the territory of Nantianzhu, which is the most important place to lick.

Where Nan Tianzhu’s strength is the opponent of the Lion Country, simply cannot withstand it. Therefore, part of the coastal Harbor was captured by the Lion Country. In this way, all commercial ships trading on trade routes must dock at the Harbor controlled by the Lion Country. .

This created a monopoly, and the Lion Country began to raise prices. In terms of water supplies and food that ships had to replenish, the prices were increased several times, and the merchants complained.

Of course, compared to the profits of the maritime trade, the supply of water and the rising price of food will not have a fatal impact, so the merchants will be tempting, not at all because this matter is a big deal, and the country of lions is at the core After replenishing the location, the pirate forces were expelled to a certain extent, and when the merchant ship passed here, it became safer, thereby making up for the losses looted by the pirates.

At this moment, the Lion Country only occupies a small number of important territories on the opposite continent, but if it is not prevented, its ambitions will become larger and larger, and eventually it will invade more countries.

In the Xuanzong era of Great Tang in history, which is 100 years after Li An ’s year, the Lion Country launched a large-scale offensive against the Piao State adjacent to the Great Tang, and the Piao State had no power to fight back. Kingdom of Nanzhou in the north, with the help of the Kingdom of Nanzhou’s elite Armed Forces, Huo State finally repelled the invasion of the Lion Country.

It can be seen that if he does not prevent the development of the Lion Country, he will become a Little Overlord in the future, which will inevitably seriously affect the interests of the Great Tang Empire. Moreover, the Lion Country monopolizes the maritime trade route and raises the price of supplies by several times. What is wrong must be corrected.
