When the Zhou State Maritime Force fleet returned to Japan, it was attacked in the Danluo Island waters. Five sea ships sank, and more than 100,000 taels of silver and hundreds of crew members sank to the bottom of the sea. In response, the Maritime Force Commander, King Wen of Bin, was furious and sent troops to the sea to advance eastward to raise troops to question the crime.

When the king arrived in Danluo, he was like a heavenly soldier and general descending to earth. The night was as if birds and beasts were scattered. After some investigation, the generals of the king found that something was wrong with the attack of the trade fleet. The Danluo Kingdom seemed not to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Gao Li, the king of Danluo, immediately led civil and military officials to the west on a boat to Langya Port in Jiaozhou, and personally explained the truth to the Celestial Kingdom and clarified the misunderstanding.

The patrol envoy, Bin Wang Yuwen Wen, accompanied the imperial angels who arrived in Jiaozhou, and met Gao Li and his group.

It is reported that the host and the host held friendly talks and exchanged views in-depth on the attack on the Maritime Fleet in the waters near Danluo Island, eliminated misunderstandings, and reached many consensuses.

During this talk, the Maritime Mansion Commander and Wang Wen of Bin introduced the situation of the Maritime Mansion Department to Gao Li, and introduced the Maritime Mansion Department's conception of building a new trade order in the East China Sea in recent years, and explained the important role that the Danluo Kingdom will soon play.

Now the Maritime Bureau and the Danluo Kingdom have reached a series of consensus, which provides new opportunities for expanding and deepening cooperation between the two sides. King Wen of Bin hopes to take the visit of the Danluo Kingdom as an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Danluo Kingdom and promote cooperation between the two sides in the fields of tourism, trade and other fields.

During the talks, the court angel conveyed the cordial greetings of the Great Zhou emperor to Gao Li, expressing gratitude to both sides that they could resolve misunderstandings and reach a consensus. At the same time, they also made a decision on behalf of the Zhou court.

Gao Li was appointed as the three sects of Shangkaifu Yitong, King Danluo, and admired 1,000 pieces of silk, 500 stones of millet, porcelain, and glassware.

In response to this, Gao Li was grateful and expressed his willingness to be a vassal of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a minister of the Zhou Dynasty. He performed the imperial calendar and guarded the East China Sea for the dynasty. He also took the initiative to send the prince to the emperor to the palace and listen to the sound of heaven.

The dynasty was also asked to send well-educated scholars to Tanluo to educate the people, to establish vocal music and ritual system.

Given that the pirates in the Danluo Sea area were rampant and often plagued the coastal residents, Gao Li begged the dynasty to send troops to station in Danluo and set up a shopping mall so that the Maritime Vessel fleet could be berthed and rest.

Today, the patrol envoy, King Wen of Bin accompanied the court angels to host a banquet for King Gao Li of Danluo and his entourage. The guests and hosts shared fine wine and food, and watched wonderful singing and dancing performances together.

During the meal, Gao Li looked at the ceramic tableware in front of him, looked at the crystal clear crystal wine glass (glass wine glass), looked at the curling blue smoke rising from the incense burner, and then looked at the graceful dancer in front of him, feeling that he was dreaming.

This country, called "Zhou", is on the Western continent, and this continent has changed many countries over the past few hundred years. For Gao Li, he actually doesn't care much about these countries. He just needs to live his own life on the island like his ancestors.

Compared with the "Central Plains" opposite the sea to the west, the country they need to pay attention to is Baekje on the other side of the strait in the north. Gao Li's grandfather crossed the sea more than 50 years ago and went to Baekje to pay homage to the other king, and since then he became the other country.

It doesn’t matter to Gao Li if he vassal states. The other party named his grandfather “Star Master” and called them “Tanluo”, but it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, life on the island is just like that, and it has been like this since Gao Li started to remember. The weak Danluo does not need to pay too much attention to things outside the island.

However, a few months ago, a fleet was attacked in the waters outside the island. Gao Li probably knew the origin of the attacker, but thought it was not his business. However, some people thought it was his business. Baekje then sent troops to the island and said that he wanted to assist in defense, so Gao Li could only let it go.

He felt that Baekje's army was brave and good at fighting, and the navy was huge, and he would definitely be able to repel the "Zhou Kingdom" invading the west. As for the Baekje army to take some of it on the island, where to take some, and rob some of the women to go to the military camp...

It is normal for the strong to get something from the weak. When Gao Li was still a prince, he had been to Baekje Capital and had seen the other party's strength, so he had no complaints.

However, when a strong man meets a stronger man, everything is different.

The Baekje Navy stationed in the harbor was vulnerable to the attacking Zhou Navy. Many ships were burned by the other side before they could leave the port. The Zhou army that landed later performed even more fiercely.

More than ten cavalrymen broke through the interception of more than a hundred Baekje soldiers in an instant, and the opponent's infantry, all wearing iron armor, were like iron men, defeated the Baekje army.

The Baekje army on the island just resisted in a hurry, and was beaten by the attacking Zhou army to kneel down and beg for mercy. Baekje generals led their troops to retreat to the royal city and tried to defend and wait for assistance, but were struck to death by the thunder summoned by the other party.

Such a powerful enemy is no longer something that ordinary people can resist. The BeiJie army soon surrendered, while Gao Li waited for the despair in trepidation.

The other party's commander was very kind, the other party's army was very friendly, and did not burn, kill and loot on the island. His military discipline was much better than that of the Baekje army. Gao Li drank with the other party's commander in a daze, got on the boat, and came to this side of the sea in a daze.

Here, he saw a country stronger than Baekje, just a port city, whose scale was comparable to that of Baekje. The sharp-eyed maritime urging warrior made him dare not look directly at it.

Gao Li thought he was going to be locked up in the Western continent and would never return to his country. As a result, the treatment he received here was much better than when he was in Baekje.

White porcelain, crystal clear crystal cups, delicious food, and precious silks that are very famous in Baekje, as well as cool clothes that are worn on them all demonstrate the strength of this country.

This country is much stronger than Baekje.

As he thought about it, Gao Li was a little dazed. Not only did Zhou Guo not treat him, he also said that he would help him transform the dilapidated city and build a tall and grand palace to make him live comfortably.

The main palaces must also be equipped with glass windows, which are bright and windproof. Not only in the palace, but other nobles' residences must also be rebuilt according to the shape of the Zhou Kingdom, and there will also be glass windows.

As for the precious incense medicines from overseas, the Maritime Bureau will sell them to him and the nobles at a reasonable price. In the future, a burning of incense will be lit every day to make the residence fragrant, which is no longer a luxury.

As far as Gao Li knows, burning incense every day is a treatment that only the Baekje royal family can enjoy!

The other party would also supply a large amount of exquisite cloth to sew beautiful clothes for him and the officials, and also change into decent clothes for the palace maids in the palace, so that they could demonstrate the temperament of the dynasty and vassal states.

All of this is not all free, but it is not expensive, so just exchange it for seafood produced by Danluo.

Not only that, the "concession" designated by the Maritime Corporation on the island pays "rent" every year, which are specialties from the Central Plains. In the past, they could buy high prices in Baekje.

The "Concession" will manage all ports of Tanluo, and the ships entering and leaving the port will be paid, and the "Concession" will be divided into 30% of the fees paid to Tanluo.

The royal army stationed on the island is responsible for defending the security of Danluo. The garrison will reclaim farmland on the island and try to be self-sufficient and not consume too much food in Danluo.

Businessmen from Zhou will purchase Danluo's seafood at preferential prices under the coordination of the "concession". The other party will also provide daily iron tools such as iron needles, fish hooks, awls, scissors and other cheaply to improve the lives of civilians.

In short, Danluo became a vassal of the Zhou Kingdom and handed over the seaport to the "concession" established by the Maritime Bureau for management. Gao Li and the nobles only needed to enjoy their happiness. In the future, a large number of sea ships would pass through Danluo's port, bringing them various specialties from the Central Plains and rare treasures overseas.

And the other party will not seize his throne, will not turn the nobles into slaves, and will not drive away all the residents of the island.

The other party's request was to ask him to surrender to the State of Zhou, and then "lent" some land on the island to the State of Zhou.

Gao Li couldn't even imagine such a good thing. Now, drinking the fine wine in the crystal cup, looking at the dancer who looked like a fairy in front of him, and looking at the steamship envoy who frequently persuaded him to drink, Wang Wen couldn't help but rub his eyes.

Is this a dream? Or is it true?
