Chapter 41 Wherever there is a plate of peanuts

Before the Southeast Asian generation officially formed a great power, the Tang Dynasty was vulnerable to its peak combat power period.

Southeast Asia is still in a slave society, and the small fights and fuss of the surrounding natives seem fierce. When they meet the real army of war, their true colors will be revealed.

It took Liang Jianfang only two and a half months to sweep the rebel forces on Sumatra Island.

Two and a half months seem to be quite long, but in fact, it is because most parts of Sumatra are covered by tropical forests and the roads are difficult to walk. For two months, the real battle is less than half a month.

It is no exaggeration to collapse at one touch.

India's influence on Sumatra was better than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it seemed that it had brought in the combat power.

With the support of the Tang Dynasty, Xiubaman successfully revived the Gangali Kingdom and became the new king.

However, Xiubaman had no foundation in the court, and his talent was not enough to convince the public. He could only pray to Liang Jianfang to stay on Sumatra Island for the time being to help him consolidate the situation. He was willing to pay all military pay, food and grass.

Liang Jianfang naturally asked Xiubaman to come for garrisoning troops and establish the Datang Navigation Company in Palembang as a stronghold for trade exchanges between the two countries.

When Xiubaman was in Quanzhou, he already knew the Tang Dynasty's intention to open the sea. Now that he asked for Palembang, he dared not refuse to give it to him, and he also took it for granted.

How can there be such a good thing in the world if Palembang exchanges the throne of kings and the guarantee of future?

With the Tang soldiers on their side, Xiubaman began to let himself go and reform the general trend.

Whether it is the Yuangan Khali country or the Saliva Death established by Zoejing, they all regard Buddhism as the national religion.

As a result, the end of the Buddha's enemy came to an end. Xiubaman directly started to launch a ban on Buddhism in Gangali Country, and even converted to Buddhism to Taoism in order to lick the Tang Dynasty.

If it were the past, Xiubaman's order would be saved and it would be a big deal.

But now the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are stationed in Palembang, who dares to get up and cause trouble?

Burning Buddhist scriptures, destroying temples, expelling monks, and repaying the anger that their parents and family members suffered happily.

Xiubaman's open anti-Buddhist behavior completely angered one person.

He is Nafudi Aronasun of Central India.

At this time, the Indian Zhu was divided into five regions, including five parts: East Tianzhu, South Tianzhu, West Tianzhu, North Tianzhu and Central Tianzhu.

Among them, the Tanezar Kingdom in Central India was the most powerful. Their king, Jieri King Shi Luo Yidon, was a powerful lord. After he succeeded to the throne, he worked hard to govern and actively interacted with the Dashi Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty. He started trade with the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty. His national strength became increasingly stronger and stronger, with the strength to surpass the four Tianzhu people in the southeast, west and northwest.

When Shi Luoyi saw that the time was ripe, he was willing to imitate the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, unify all directions, unify India, and start fighting on all sides.

Tianzhu in all directions was defeated, and there was a vague crisis of destruction.

The King of Eastern Tianzhu suddenly had a whim and bewitched the No. 1 important minister under the command of Luo Yidu.

I didn't want this bewitching and I succeeded directly.

Na Fudi Aronatus successfully rebelled and killed Shiluo Yido, becoming the new king of Zhongtianzhu.

India is mainly Hinduism, but Na Fudi Aronatun is a devout Buddhist believer and a fan of Master Xuanzang.

When Xuanzang initially intended to return to the Tang Dynasty, Fudi Aronatun was unwilling to do so. He even said that the King of Jie Ri Shi Luo Yidu thought that Xuanzang would build a hundred temples and persuade Xuanzang to stay.

After Xuanzang refused, Fudi Aronasun planned to put Xuanzang under house arrest with strong man.

In the end, Shi Luo Yidu chose to let go.

Shortly after Fudi Aronatus became the king of Central India, he learned about the Tang Dynasty's help of Xiubaman to drive away Buddhist believers on Sumatra.

Originally, Fudi Aronatus was full of opinions about the Tang Dynasty. A country that did not seek Buddhism actually had a great monk like Xuanzang, which was a waste of resources.

Now, when the Tang Dynasty helped the country to destroy Buddhism, new and old hatreds burst out instantly, he shouted angrily: "Ignorance child, how could he know Buddha?"

He cursed and suddenly thought of something, saying, "Isn't someone coming to report before, saying that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty came from the east? What can a lower-class country that does not know what to do with? The person who came directly sent troops to capture and kill them. I snatched all the gifts from the countries in the Western Regions. Is my country unified Zhongtian, and dare not give gifts? I snatched them by myself..."

Then Fudi Aronatus did not take the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away from him at all.

The Tang Dynasty is strong and is thousands of miles away. Could it be that it can still make an appointment to fight over the Western Regions of the Shahai Sea to beat itself?

Fudi Aronatun didn't take this matter seriously at all.

But he did not know that the official envoy of the Tang Dynasty mission was named Wang and his two names were Xuan Ce.

Quanzhou Port.

The originally deserted port is gradually becoming lively.

There is never a shortage of visionary people in this world. With the popularity of cotton coats and quilts, the door to the commercial market in Jiangnan has officially opened.

Quanzhou has built a harbor and a rare coastal city in such a vigorous manner. Businessmen have moved in and planned to get the first pot of gold.

As the first huge cargo ship successfully entered the port, vendors, sailors and boatmen shouted one after another.

This is the first successful round trip of maritime trade.

Although the purpose is not the imagined Western powers such as India, Dashi, Byzantine, and Persia, they have also taken the first step to success.

On a three-story restaurant two hundred steps away from the port, Li Yuanai looked at the large cargo ship that had stopped, and his expression was also a little excited.

"It's successful, we succeed!"

Li Gongyan is not as calm as Li Yuanai. He has been an official in Quanzhou for many years and has a deep relationship with him. He dreams of changing the status quo here, but he has gained little.

Now this first merchant ship sailing has been successful and the future is promising.

This time, Li Yuanai truly realized what it means to adapt to the times and only give opportunities to those who are prepared.

According to his original plan, they had to find a suitable place to build a commercial port in the Malay Peninsula.

This choice of land, occupying land, planning a series of actions, is estimated to be at least one or two years.

I didn't want to get Sumatra and gave me a gift of a port, which saved me a lot of trouble and time.

It is crucial that Sumatra is located at the equator and has rich resources. The Sanskrit word for Tianzhu says it is a golden island. It is recorded in ancient Chinese books as Jinzhou, which is rich in gold, oil, tin, bauxite, coal, and precious woods such as Sumatra, Nanyang pine, oak, chestnut, ebony, iron wood, sandalwood and other precious woods.

In the Tang Dynasty, porcelain, silk, tea, sugar, paper, and silk exchanged materials such as gold, tin, coal, ebony, iron, sandalwood, etc. with Southeast Asian countries in Palembang.

This one makes a lot of money. Even if you don’t trade with India, Dashi, Byzantium, and Persia, you can make a profit by trading with many small countries in Southeast Asia.

The improved construction of the maritime merchant ship has been completed, and now only construction is left, and the imperial court sent envoys to sign trade agreements with Western countries.

The coup on Sumatra saved Li Yuan's plan to open the sea for two years.
