Alhan Russell was a Persian from the Western Regions.

Ten years ago, he lived on the eastern frontier of the Seljuk Empire, where he formed his own caravans and mercenaries, often traveling through the Karakhanate (a vassal state of Seljuk), and going to the Gaochang Uighurs to trade with the Eastern merchants there.

At that time, the pattern of the Western Regions was even more complicated than it is now.

The Liao Kingdom, the great eastern country, had just been destroyed by a rising tribe, and the grassland forces lost control. In order to avoid the attacks of the Jurchens, some of the tribes there moved westward.

The barbaric tribe put pressure on the Gaochang Uighurs and the caravans were also affected.

The weak Gaochang Uighurs had to borrow troops from the Karakhanate to calm the influence of the barbarian tribes in the grassland.

Since then, all countries in the Western Regions have known that the powerful Khitan in the East has perished.

The merchants in the Western Regions were eager to transport goods to the East along the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties to Chang'an and Luoyang in Central China.

Unfortunately, although the Khitan was destroyed, Dangxiang was still standing across the Hexi Corridor.

It was not until the emperor destroyed the Xia Kingdom of Dangxiang that the trade routes from the Western Regions to Central China were missing many obstacles.

That year, Alhan Russell originally thought that his caravan could often travel between Chang'an City and Seljuk.

But unexpectedly, the Hexi Corridor area was not peaceful, and his caravans and mercenaries were lost there.

Then he was forced to move to the sea.

It has been six years since the sea trade. Although the sea line is far away, ships are convenient to transport, small costs and abundant cargo loading.

In addition, the Han court had quite generous policies, Alhan Russell could be said to have made a lot of money.

But he was not satisfied. Three years ago, he returned to China to summon a group of people, formed his own mercenary group again, dressed up as a businessman, successfully passed Lingya Gate, entered the South China Sea, and headed north to Guangzhou Port.

After landing in Guangzhou, this group of mercenaries quickly hid in Guangzhou City, and on weekdays they helped him do some shameful things.

This time, his merchant ships carried more than 600 Han women. The women's age was only twenty years old. They would all be sent across the ocean to the Great Food Kingdom and sold to those nobles.

I had hardly done this kind of thing before. Last year, a Han woman somehow went from sea to the Great Food Country and was deeply loved by high-ranking officials and nobles.

This incident came back to his ears, and he saw huge business opportunities.

The strait of Lingyamen (Singapore) is an important passage to enter the West and is now controlled by the Song army.

Alhan Russell was not worried. He found another channel, which was farther away, but was enough to bypass the Song army and arrive at the Dashi Kingdom.

Alhan Russell personally led his fleet, intending to cross the sea from another road in the South China Sea.

After the fleet got on track, he returned to Guangzhou.

Alhan Russell was drinking wine in the cabin and enjoying the light dance of the singers.

Alhan Russell thought to himself: Han people’s wine is delicious and women are beautiful. This is really a paradise. Fortunately, after conquering it, life will be better in the future!

At this moment, the guards outside hurried in: "Not good, no good!"

"What's the fuss?"

"Song army warships were found outside!"

Alhan Russell smiled and said, "Fuck! Faris landed in Hong Kong Village and used the Han warship. I didn't expect him to be triumphant so quickly. It's so satisfying!"

"But there are more than a dozen ships outside!"

Alhan Russell's expression suddenly changed and he almost fell from his seat: "What did you say!"

He hurried out of the cabin, snatched Qianliwang from the guards on one side, and looked over anxiously.

The South China Sea Navy, the Royal First Fleet, and a large warship in the center, was like a huge ancient beast, cutting through the blue sea and heading towards Guangzhou Port.

The Royal Cangming name was named by the emperor himself, representing the sky and the sea, and also representing the emperor's ambitions.

When Alhan Russell saw the solemn Song army warship, his face turned pale.

"Change, turn around quickly!"

Alhan Russell's legs instantly became weak. If the person next to him hadn't helped him in time, he would have collapsed on the ground.

"Quick! Turn around quickly! Turn around quickly!" He roared hard.

The others were confused and hurried to inform the ship's cockpit after they came back to their senses.

Li Bao put down his eyes and said, "Xu Yunsheng, go and intercept the merchant ship in front."

"yes!"

The sound of the Song army's horn sounded, and three small warships received the mission and quickly flew forward.

The speed of the merchant ships in front also increased significantly, but they were not the opponent of the small naval warships.

Soon the Song army caught up with the merchant ships and intercepted their way.

Everyone raised muskets on the Song army warship.

The cannon poked out from the hole, as if it was about to sink the ship opposite at any time.

All the ships stopped, with both sides holding muskets.

Very quiet and no one speaks.

The atmosphere seemed to solidify.

Xu Yunsheng stared at the opposite side for a long time before speaking out: "Surrender to death!"

Suddenly, a musket sounded, breaking the deadlock between the two sides.

In an instant, a bang bang sounded.

The Song army pulled the musket at the same time, and in an instant, countless bullets flew around in the air.

Xu Yunsheng roared angrily: "Back on the ship!"

The Song army was moving quickly and quickly. There were teams of musketeers standing on the side of the ship, and the people on the other side had already jumped through the narrow gap.

A white knife and red blade immediately appeared on the ship.

Before a barbarian mercenary could hide, a sharp dagger was inserted into his head.

The Navy attacked very quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

Either aim at the neck, or the chest, or the head.

Anyway, the kind that can die with one knife.

When the two sides fought, these mercenaries were obviously far from being matched by the Song Navy in terms of melee ability.

After only one meeting, not only the musket was suppressed, but also the tight-fitting fighting was suppressed.

Alhan Russell was frightened.

More and more Song troops rushed over and began to kill people quickly.

The barbarians and merchants on the ship were killed like chickens and ducks.

When Li Bao boarded the boat, all the resistance had ended.

The imprisoned women were released, and when they saw that they were Han troops, they were so excited that they burst into tears.

Alhan Russell said: "Your Excellency to spare my life. I have huge wealth. In Guangzhou City, as long as I live, I can share half of you!"

"Do you think you are still qualified to live?"

"Your Excellency, I am Aliben's friend. As long as you let me go, I can convince Aliben to stop massacring the civilians in Guangzhou."

This Alhan Russell is worthy of dealing with other countries on the frontier for many years.

He knew very well what Song Jun cared about.

For the emperors of the Song Dynasty, the life and death of the people was a huge matter.
