Chapter 54 Return from the South China Sea
After arranging these, Li Jia led two large ships down the Indochina Peninsula and arrived at the famous Zhenla Kingdom, which is also the famous Angkor Dynasty in history.
When he arrived here, Li Jia had been floating on the sea for more than a month. After seeing the prosperity of the Angkor dynasty, Li Jia had no motivation to continue moving forward.
The boring sailing actions made his spirit extremely depressed. Only then did he truly understand why Zheng He, Columbus, Da Gama and others were praised, and such days were simply not something that people could bear.
However, after visiting, Li Jia still learned a little about the situation in the Indochina Peninsula, so she had a rough plan in the future.
The situation on the Indochina Peninsula, simply put, is the battle for hegemony of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhenla (Cambodia) has the most powerful force, and is in the period of the Angkor Dynasty (the builder of the Angkor Kiln). Lu Zhenla (Laos) and Shui Zhenla (Cambodia) are unified, which can be regarded as a copy of the Wei Kingdom and has been harassing Annan and Champa.
Annan, because it was independent from the Annan Protectorate, was actually the same as the Fujian, Chu, and Wu and Yue. He spoke Chinese language and Tang wardrobe, and the court's etiquette was still imitating the Southern Han Dynasty, which was no different from those small countries in the inland.
Of course, the most important thing is that Annan did not have a national name, only the so-called king, and historians did not remove Annan from China at this time. By 968, the Ding tribe ruled to formally unify Vietnam (northern), established a political power and became emperor, and the country was named Daquyue, and paid tribute to China (Northern Song Dynasty).
Chameng, as the Shu Kingdom, is the weakest, with a household registration of only 30,000 to 40,000 and a military armor of only 10,000. Relying on the power of the navy, he barely resisted the harassment of the two countries. However, this is futile and it will be a matter of time before he is annexed.
The Zhenla Kingdom reached its prosperous era at this time, with 100,000 war elephants and majestic. In the South China Sea region, it is second only to the South China Sea overlord - the South Han.
So, when he got here, Li Jia stopped moving forward. In addition to the long journey, the insecurity at sea was also a problem.
Persia has been conquered by Islan, and the Arab Empire is divided into pieces. It is difficult to distinguish between black and green and green, and so on, so I like internal fighting.
As for the Three Buddhas and Kingdom of Java, I think this is the case. Although Buddhism is highly praised and has not been greened, it is definitely not as good as Zhenla, so it is better not to go.
Turning around, Li Jia was about to return, they encountered pirates, and they were famous Javanese pirates.
"The famous Java pirate has finally seen it!" Hearing this, Li Jia was not surprised but happy and shouted.
No one knows the name of Java, but the name of Java pirates was also famous in the South China Sea during the Tang and Song dynasties.
Relying on the large number of people and power, Javanese pirates are known as cowboys in the South China Sea, but the boats are not very good, but there are many people and ships. Hundreds of people are on the same side, and ants are biting to death.
The famous conquering mad Mongols suffered a great loss in Java, and more than half of the five thousand navy lost, so they had to accept tribute.
"Mr. Lang, these people should not be underestimated!" Li Xin looked at these dozens of small boats and his face was a little numb. Even though he didn't know much about naval warfare, he still understood it.
"Yes, Langjun, the name of Java pirates is also notorious in our pirate circle. They are robbed whether they are merchant ships or pirates!" The captain also said in a deep voice.
After hearing some words, Li Jia shook her head, looked at the dense boat, and shouted loudly:
"Crash directly, no need to worry about anything!"
Then, two large ships, with the fastest speed, crushed towards the small boat like moss, and rushed around, and the scene was extremely bloody.
The small sea boat seemed to be made of paper. After a moment of touch, it broke apart. The South Asians in Heibulaqiu were swimming, but not many of them died.
Several wooden boats were shattered in one collision, but these Javanese people continued to sacrifice their lives, trying to get close to the merchant ship, throw hooks, and climb up.
"Come again--" Li Jia was very dissatisfied.
Boom - Boom -
Another impact, but the Java pirates were still screaming, and the blood made them even more excited, and the speed of climbing and harassment became faster and faster.
As Javanese ships become more and more numerous, the two sea ships are moving forward slowly.
"Put the arrows on oil!" Helplessly, there is really no good way to deal with some porridge.
Then, rockets, as if they had eyes, rushed straight to the boat.
In an instant, small fire boats were born on the sea, which were very beautiful. However, when the sea water poured back, most of them were extinguished again, and the effect was not very obvious.
Li Jia missed seeing fierce tinder in history books. This kind of mining oil burns and water cannot be extinguished, making it very suitable for maritime combat.
It is time to master this kind of military weapon.
Thinking of such an important thing, Li Jia had no intention of playing. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the two sea boats rushed out quickly and broke away from the encirclement.
However, although the South China Sea is rich in oil, where is it?
The answer is - Chameng.
That’s right, Chameng, a prosperous small country, is because of its strong tiny oil, that Chameng can last for a long time. Chameng’s pirates are also very famous in the South China Sea.
According to historical records, in order to deal with the Liao people and the Xixia people, the Great Tribute Dynasty repeatedly asked Chameng to pay tribute to heavy turbulent oil. Therefore, the Chameng people still contributed to the three hundred years of great gifts.
By the time Li Jia returned to Chameng, nearly a month had passed, and the Dragon and Tiger Gang in Chameng was developing very well at this time.
"Go forward, keep going, don't stop—"
When Li Jia came to the headquarters of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, she saw dozens of young men in short shirts holding spears, scimitars, shields, and three in groups, using various techniques and movements, constantly stabbing forward barrels.
Sometimes it is scattered and sometimes it is united. Although it looks a little immature when it is combined, it has become a foundation and after long-term training, it is no problem to become an elite soldier.
"Langjun, you are back--" Zhang Weiqing looked up and saw that Li Langjun was back, but his skin was a little dark and rough, but he became much more energetic.
"It's good if you come back, it's good if you come back!"
Li Jia naturally knew what she looked like, but it was good that she was so pure before. She was too nimble and went to the army and had insufficient prestige. But now, although she has not reached the darkness of the ancient master, she has a hint of charm.
The appearance became more refined, and the lazy flesh in the body also dissipated a little.
"What are these?" Li Jia asked, pointing to these teenagers.
"You didn't say that the southern terrain is small and not conducive to the army's combat, so I tried to create a three-person formation based on the training of the barbarians and the army!"
"There were five people and six people before, but in the end I found that three people were the most suitable. Whether it was Lingnan or Chameng, they could perform well, much better than when they were in the array!"
