Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 761 A New Chapter in China

The sky is gradually breaking dawn, and the sea is still hazy, like a layer of silver-gray veil.

A huge fleet is driving on the channel from Bangka Island to the heart of the Srivijaya Kingdom. Countless large and small ships are connected together, like a floating city on the sea.

Gentle waves beat against the bottom of the boat, and there was no other sound, until there was a bird call, which broke the silence.But the coastline of the land could already be seen from a distance. At this time, the eastern sky appeared to be white, and the sky and the earth gradually brightened.

The sun hasn't appeared yet, but clouds with rich layers have spread all over the blue sky.Fang Tianding caught a glimpse of a cloud inadvertently, it was pure and flawless, only the four sides were dyed red by the light before sunrise, just like a potential dragon in the abyss, the colorful clouds flying with scales and claws are really beautiful.

"After this battle, my Manichaeism will finally dive out of the abyss and rise above the blue sky."

Bangka Island has been taken by them effortlessly, and the power of Srivijaya here is ridiculous to say the least.Ruan Xiaoqi deliberately let go of the two small dhows, and after resting there for a while, the fleet pointed directly at the mouth of the Musi River.

He believed that the sailors of the Srivijaya people must also gather at the mouth of the Musi River at this moment.

There are more than 200 sea-going ships, and although less than half of them are professional warships, there are [-] gunboats supported by Fang Tianding's cheap brother-in-law. The transport ship carried [-] elite Manicheans.

And at the mouth of the Musi River, the water army of the Three Buddha Qi people was also as dark as a cloud covering the sea, with sails everywhere and mighty.

They had received an emergency report from the navy that had fled back from Bangka Island. During the few days when the Manichaean army had rested on Bangka Island, the Srivijaya people had already transferred the main navy warships in their hands, as well as possible The merchant ships of the Srivijaya merchants gathered together at the mouth of the Musi River.[-]% of the surface power comes, not [-]%, but [-]%!
They dare not take the initiative to attack Bangka Island. The sea is vast. If the two armies pass by on the sea, they can take back Bangka Island as they wish.This risk is unbearable for the rich and powerful of Srivijaya.

Therefore, the decisive battlefield between the two armies is only at the mouth of the Musi River.

Seeing the continuous sail shadow approaching, the Sanfoqi people reacted very quickly.One after another, the warships raised their anchors and sailed towards the enemy.

Their strength is really powerful. They use the dhows sent by the Tianfang people as warships, large, medium and small warships and merchant ships, and the number is as many as [-].

This is what the Sanfoqi people rely on to dominate Malacca. Even though the large triangular warships inside are less than one-third of the total number, the total force is more than [-] sailors and slaves. It is definitely a powerful sea force in the world.

Understand that this is an ancient kingdom that has existed for hundreds of years.Without a little support, how could Sanfoqi survive several twists and turns for hundreds of years and finally survive?
Hundreds of warships from both sides set sail and break the waves. In the eastern world, this seemed to be a sea battle of unprecedented scale!
And it is bound to be recorded heavily in history.

Because of its significance, to put it bluntly, the significance of this battle is not weaker than the battle of Yanyun.It not only determines the ownership of the Eastern sea power in the future, but also the first step for the Chinese nation to go south, the real first step.

Like the Battle of Cajamarca, the Spanish adventurer Francisco Pizarro led his weary and weak invasion army of 62 cavalry and 106 infantry in Cajamarca, the Inca Empire. , Defeated and captured the Inca Emperor Atahualpa who was leading [-] entourage at that time.

The same is true for the current battle of the Musi River.

Although the Emperor Lu did not come in person, the chess and cards of both sides were in the open. The successful "sneak attack" of Fang La's army determined the inevitable outbreak of the Muxi River Battle.

If the joint navy of the Manichaeism and the Qi army can successfully defeat the Sanfoqi navy in this battle, then everything that follows will come naturally.Soon, Fang La will establish a brand new country-Ming Kingdom on the fallen body of Sanfoqi.

The Chinese have completely become the masters of Nanyang.

And if it is defeated, the significance will be tens of millions of times greater than the failure of Francisco Pizarro.Pizarro is just a fanatic and illiterate, and his department is just a small detachment, while Fang La's army is the "main force".His failure will not only make San Buddha Qi and other Nanyang countries sweep away their fear of China, give a boost to all Nanyang indigenous kingdoms, but also severely dampen the Chinese people's enthusiasm for Nanyang.

Therefore, Lu Qian went all out to support Fang La's army and drew twenty gunboats from the Nanyang Navy, which shows his strength.Because this battle cannot be defeated.

The lion is fighting the rabbit with all his strength, Lu Qian never wants to capsize in the gutter, he is not killing people with a knife.

And at the same moment, not only the history of China has been changed by Emperor Lu, but also the history of the entire world will enter another new track.

At least in the next hundred years, the Tianfang Maritime Merchants who roam the Eastern Seas will no longer be able to become the overlord of the entire Eastern Seas after the Sanfo Qi expedition to Tianzhu was defeated and fell into a slump.

Time is so ruthless. Famous generals, virtuous ministers, one emperor through the ages, and the Central Empire are magnificent. No matter how powerful you are, you can't stand the aging of the years.The current powerful Zhuluo Empire will be dying after more than a hundred years, and the already vibrant Sanfoqi Kingdom will become even more powerful after more than a hundred years, with flowers blooming like brocades and in full swing.

If the national power were not so strong, the Three Buddhas would not be fooled by the noble monks who fled from Tianzhu to go on an expedition to Zhuluo, to set things right, and to protect and spread the Dharma for Buddhism.As a result, Sanfoqi made two expeditions to Ceylon, which cost a huge amount of national and financial resources. In the second expedition, he was defeated by the regent of Ceylon, Virobhu, and the country's power declined.

The Tianfang people, who were sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, took the opportunity to replace the Cholas and Srivijaya people and became the overlords of India and East Asian waters.

And when Zhao Song had come to the end of the road, he stabbed the Han people in the back fiercely.

——Betrayal and surrender among the Han Chinese in the late Southern Song Dynasty was also common. You cannot and absolutely have no reason to ask the Tianfang people to remain loyal.However, when these believers of the true God were in the most critical time of the Han people, they used betrayal and killing as a reward for the Mongols. That would be too irritating!

Therefore, Zhu Hongwu's treatment of the Pu family in Quanzhou is particularly resentful.

But now, in the East Asia Sea, in addition to the Srivijaya people who dominate Malacca, there is a new surface force that can completely crush the Tianfang maritime merchants. This is the overseas navy that Emperor Lu has worked hard to establish!
Now that the new overlord is about to kick the old overlord off the throne, Tianfang Marine Merchant, whose strength is far from reaching its peak, can only choose to stand on the side of the Chinese who have a better chance of winning, wave the flag to cheer, and shout 666.

After all, if they want to rely on China to make money, they can only stand on the side of the Chinese.

Although the old Zhao family is super incompetent in war, but you can't deny the richness of Zhao Song.At this time, China is by no means the country with the highest GDP in the world in this era, and its wealth is even a giant that can be worth one country [except China].It also has the world's largest import and export trade volume, whether it is import or export, it is an astronomical figure!
An open China not only has a huge amount of trade with neighboring countries, but also communicates with Indian countries, Tianfang and even Europe through Tianfang maritime merchants.The annual import and export trade volume cannot be counted.

Think about it, how much wealth can Tianfang people, who occupy the position of China's main import and export trader, earn from it every year?
I know why the Tianfang people can only follow China at this moment!
Although with the emergence of more and more Chinese maritime merchants, it may not take many years for a new break between the two sides to break out.But that's the future, isn't it?

……

Dabiluo is one of the generals of the Sanfoqi's navy, and he is in charge of commanding a fleet to garrison the mouth of the Musi River on weekdays.He is one of the most capable generals of Sanfoqi, because he led the army stationed at the mouth of the Musi River, not only responsible for guarding the security of the old port, but also responsible for collecting customs duties for Sanfoqi, and even looting goods at sea. act.So how can we not fight?You must be able to fight, and you must win if you fight.

Therefore, Tobilo, who has rich experience in naval battles this time, became the vanguard general of the Three Buddha Qi Navy.Leading the thirty large and small triangular sail warships under his command can be said to be the strength of Srivijaya's fist.

After San Ruan dominated Fujian, Guangdong and Yangzhou, the prestige of the artillery spread to Sanfoqi, but the latter didn't care at all.Did Sanfo Qi know nothing about China?During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sumatra had the Gandali Kingdom.During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty [Xiao Yan], the king of Gandhara, Toli, served as a representative of the Southern Dynasty. Since then, the land of Sanfo Qi and China has never been cut off.

As soon as Boss Zhao tried to usurp the throne, the king of Sanfoqi, Xili Daxia Litan, received the news and quickly sent envoys to pay tribute to Fangwu.In the sixth year of Song Zhenzong's Xianping period, King Zhenzong of the Three Buddhas set up a Buddhist temple to celebrate Song Zhenzong's birthday, and Song Zhenzong bestowed the bell of "Chengtian Wanshou".So far, the Chengtian Wanshou Bell is also the treasure of Sanfoqi.

Casting bells is a technical activity.Its thickness and size are the most direct reflection of a country's metallurgical level.In this period, the Chinese are definitely the first in the world in casting bells.

In the memory of the Sanfoqi people, the middle land is rich and powerful, the land is vast and abundant, and its strength far exceeds that of the Sanfoqi.Therefore, whether it is Li Tang, or the Can Tang and Five Dynasties and Zhao and Song Dynasties, they all have close ties with the Central Plains.In the Zhao and Song Dynasties alone, envoys were sent to pay tribute more than ten times.They are also closely connected with the Central Plains, so they are very clear about Emperor Lu's old background, and they also know that Zhao Song is still alive, so they didn't pay tribute to Emperor Lu immediately.

In this way, their cognition of Lu Qi will inevitably be a little behind. Their memories of the Central Plains Dynasty still stay in the early Zhao and Song Dynasties, and the old memories of Zhao and Song are involuntarily substituted into the new dynasty. Or the old impression of China that has been formed for many years-that is, China has seas but no defenses, and there has never been a strong offshore navy to protect the seas in all dynasties.

Therefore, Tobilo laughed when he heard that the Ruan brothers and the navy they led had dominated the Fujian and Guangdong oceans.What a strange thing this should be. The Buddha blessed him not to be drinking water when he heard the news just now, otherwise he would have choked to death.

For a while, he even wanted to imitate the Ruan Brothers' approach, because this is a good way to get money, but after the news was sent to the Old Port by him, his proposal sparked a big discussion, which has not yet been discussed. a definite conclusion.

Then, Tobilo soon felt a strong pressure, because the Chinese really set up a navy, and the Chinese navy directly occupied Zengmu Dadao as soon as they went south.After learning the specific news, he wanted to tear up Ketanagara and his entire family to feed the crocodiles.It's a pity that Jala had already taken all his relatives to China at that time.

After that, the reputation of artillery and Nanyang Navy spread throughout Nanyang.

Those who have seen it have always described the artillery as a weapon of the devil, and the exaggerated words make people subconsciously not believe it.

Now, as the vanguard commander of the Navy, Tobilo will face the rumored weapon that can only be used by devils - artillery.

"Buddha, look at the disciple's protection against demons today—"
