Chapter 693: Lili is not a beauty selection

"His grandma, where is the land? I'm going to die of death!"

As soon as a maritime storm ended, the painful roar of Li Fei Yuanli came from the sea. They set out from the Yangzhou Military Port, and three hundred large ships were loaded with two thousand soldiers and a large amount of porcelain. They floated across the ocean. One and a half months later, they arrived near the Maluojia Strait, but were attacked by a storm at sea.

Although the fleet survived the storm, the soldiers on the ship were exhausted by the struggle, and Li Fei Yuanli was in great pain. He had just adapted to a little bit of sailing at sea and was in high spirits, but unexpectedly encountered this storm.

The rising sun rose on the sea, and two crew members were holding him, looking at the vast sea in despair, "Didn't you say there is land here? Where is the land?"

He had only one thought now, go ashore, go ashore and have a good rest for a few days, and recover, and he has never suffered such a sin in his life.

"land!"

The lookout on the mast suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Look, there is land!"

Li Fei Yuanli's eyes were as big as eggs, and his eyes were about to protrude. He tried hard to find the land in his dream. Finally, he saw a black line appeared on the sea level. He shouted "Ha!" and his feet jumped up. The ship was just undulating. He didn't stand firm for a moment and fell on the deck with four legs facing the sky. Despite this, he still shouted with excitement. The sound of a broken gong echoed on the sea, "My dear grandma! There is finally land."

The soldiers and some merchants in the ship warehouse heard that there was land, so they ran out one after another, and cheers rang out across the deck.

A group of merchants surrounded Li Fei Yuanli, and one of them introduced him: "This is the entrance to the Malacca Strait, a narrow strait, with the Langya Xiu Kingdom in the north and the Sriva Fai Kingdom in the south, which is the most powerful country in this area. I beg General Li Fei to stop in Foley City for a day and we will go to exchange for some goods."

There were more than 100 merchants in total, all of which were Dashi, Persians and Sogdians. When the fleet was replenishing supplies in Guangzhou, they heard that the ship was going to Xinde, and they bribed Li Fei Yuanli and begged to take the boat. Li Fei Yuanli immediately collected several thousand stagnants of money, and he also agreed happily.

Most of these merchants brought silk, porcelain and other goods. Generally, they would sell them at high prices on the Nanyang island country, and then purchase spices and other goods to sell them for sale to Persian food to make huge profits. If they go there this way, they actually did two business trips. Srivers passed away, which was a great power in Nanyang. They generally would not let this opportunity go.

Hearing that there is a country, Li Fei Yuanli grinned and said, "Is there any beauty?"

"Yes! Yes! The women here are very delicious, very good, that butt and that breast, I guarantee that the general likes it."

"Okay!" Li Fei Yuanli waved her hand, "Then we will go ashore and choose a few beauties on the way to relieve boredom."

Although Anjun had strict military discipline, Li Fei Yuanli's lustful nature was exposed when he arrived at this high mountain and the emperor was far away.

After taking the boat for so long, the brothers were all depressed. Of course, they also had to rest and have fun. But having fun without women is not enough. Li Fei Yuanli was kind to his subordinates and gave him whatever he wanted. He accepted thousands of bribes, which just gave the soldiers a taste of women from the island country.

Li Fei Yuanli immediately ordered that two thousand brothers, each of whom could send three stagnant of money to go ashore to find women and buy things, and the soldiers immediately cheered. Although some officers felt that it was inappropriate, they did not dare to anger Li Fei Yuanli, so they had to let the soldiers ashore, and those who were always steady would stay on the boat.

The passing of Sriva is today Sumatra Island. It is the largest country in Southeast Asia. Many merchants go to the Tang Dynasty to trade. There are also many people living in this area, all of whom come from the Lingnan area.

The land seen by the Tang army fleet was Bangka Island, which was not far from the capital of Foli Port, the capital of the Kingdom of Saliver. The Kingdom of Saliver occupied the entire Sumatra Island, thousands of miles from east to west and four thousand miles from south to north. The capital of Foli Port is near Palembang City, Indonesia today, and it was also the largest port in Nanyang at that time. Those who came here to make a living from the Tang Dynasty first settled in Foli Port.

The Tang army fleet had never been to Foli Port, but these Hu merchants were familiar with the road. Under their guidance, the Tang army fleet bypassed Bangka Island and arrived at Foli Port. It was already afternoon.

Although Foley Port is the largest city in Nanyang, it is relatively small, and the 300 large ships of the Tang army cannot stop. Fortunately, it is a natural bay, with large ships anchoring in the bay. The soldiers took small boats toward the port, and only the main ship that Li Fei Yuanli was riding leaned against the shore.

Foli Port is a prosperous harbor city, located at the key point of east-west sea transportation, with prosperous re-export trade. The merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty, India and Arab exchanges gathered here, with a population of more than 100,000, and Buddhism flourished.

The arrival of the Tang army fleet alarmed the people of the entire capital. Thousands of small vendors ran out of the city, carrying various local specialties and tropical fruits to the Tang army. Many prostitutes in the city also ran out to grab customers, and the dock was clamoring and hustle and bustle.

Li Fei Yuanli had already arrived ashore. He stood on the dock and grinned. Foley Port was much better than he thought, and it was bustling and bustling. The women were plump, but their skin was dark, which made him feel a little deficient.

"General, someone is looking for you!"

A soldier came up with a few people, all dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing black leather boots from the Tang Dynasty. This is the symbol of the superiors. Most of the locals were short and dark in size, but one of them was a man in white, who looked like a Han man.

They walked forward and saluted Li Fei Yuanli, and the man in white said, "Welcome the Tang army to the Buddha's death country!"

He spoke very standard Chinese, and Li Fei Yuanli was surprised, "Are you a native of the Tang Dynasty?"

The man in white smiled and nodded, "Xiaomin was originally from Quanzhou, named Lin You. He moved here with his family three years ago."

He pointed to a strong and serious man behind him and introduced: "This is Prince Dando. The few behind him are the chiefs of this city. I'm here to greet the general."

"Oh! You're so kind."

Li Fei Yuanli didn't want to do any diplomacy in big countries at all. He just came to find women to let the brothers have fun, and then left. He had no intention of dealing with the local court. He had a headache and turned around and wanted to find a scapegoat, but no one saw it. He had to curse inwardly and said, "We are going to Xinde. We encountered a storm on the way and were blown here. We have to rest for a day and leave tomorrow."

Lin You, a man in white, translated for the prince. The prince's nervous face suddenly felt relieved. Thinking about it, if two thousand troops arrived ashore, any country would be nervous. He showed a smile on his face and clasped his hands and said, "The Tang Dynasty and us are friendly countries, and we are willing to provide all help."

After hearing the translation, Li Fei Yuanli suddenly turned his eyes and said with a cheeky smile: "I wonder if the prince can provide a few beautiful women to relieve his fatigue from the journey, haha!"

Lin You was stunned. He couldn't believe what he heard. He actually asked for a woman in person, which was a shame to the Tang Dynasty!

He didn't dare to translate this, so he had to say to the prince: "The soldiers of the Tang army wanted to appreciate the style of the Buddha's passing country and see the singing and dancing performances. The general was a little homesick. He hoped that the prince could provide several cooks with superb cooking skills. He wanted to taste delicious food."

The prince laughed and patted his chest and said, "No problem, I'll make arrangements now!"

"What did he say?" Li Fei Yuanli asked with great interest.

"The prince said there is no problem, and I guarantee that the general will be satisfied."

Both of them laughed together and hugged each other. The prince turned around and left. Li Fei Yuanli also entered the city with great enthusiasm.

Because it is a capital city, the city walls are made of burnt bricks, which are very short, only 10,500 feet high, and the entire city is equivalent to a medium-sized county town in the Tang Dynasty. Most people live in low wooden houses outside the city. There are tens of thousands of people living in the city, and they are almost all wooden houses with slanted roofs. The houses are one foot away from the ground. It seems that it often rains heavily here, and the streets are spacious. Several streets are densely covered with houses, and there are brick buildings, namely Buddhist temples and royal palaces.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and goods from the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu, Arabia and other places are for sale. Most of the customers are from other cities in the country, as well as from Langya Xiu from the Malay Peninsula. There are also many Arabs and Tang Dynasty merchants, with the currency mainly Tang coins.

However, the recent large-scale collection of sea ships in the Tang Dynasty also affected the business here, and the stores seemed a little light. The arrival of Tang soldiers was undoubtedly very popular with merchants.

In addition to receiving the three-character reward from Li Fei Yuanli, the Tang soldiers also brought money. In addition, the prices here are low, the Tang soldiers are even more generous and are loved by merchants. Almost every Tang army appears is the target of their competition, and they use various tricks to lure the Tang soldiers to come and visit.

Restaurants and brothels are the common cultural heritage of mankind. More than a dozen wine houses in the city are already crowded with Tang soldiers, and the noise is endless. The seven or eight brothels in the city are even more booming, and they are basically booked by Tang soldiers. Of course, Li Fei Yuanli would not go to compete with his brothers for food. He just walked around and saw the city style, and then went back to the boat to wait for the beauty sent by the prince.

The scenery in the city was boring and there were many temples, but he didn't believe in Buddhism and felt it was boring. Seeing that it was getting late, he went back to the boat to drink and have a meal.

When he returned to the boat, his personal soldiers immediately came to report. The prince sent someone to send three women and waited in the front cabin. Li Fei Yuanli was overjoyed and went to the front cabin. The personal soldiers reported the news and followed him in a low voice: "General, it seems that the person who sent him is not very good!"

"Hey! You don't understand. A woman with taste is the best. The prince's vision will not be bad."

He pushed his personal soldiers away and rushed into the front cabin with great enthusiasm. As soon as he entered the cabin, he was stunned. It was three women, but they were fat, black and short, ugly, and even more so. They were all in their forties or fifties, so they were not as beautiful as he imagined.

"General, they have a smell, all over their bodies." The personal soldier complained behind him.

Li Fei Yuanli's desire was extinguished by a basin of cold water. He was immediately angry and angry, and his eyes shot out, and he turned around and cursed: "Damn it, I dare to tease me, I will destroy your shit country!"

In fact, these three women are all famous cooks in the palace. The prince is very kind, and the translator also wants to promote normal cultural exchanges between the two countries, but rejects Li Fei Yuanli's bad thoughts. Unexpectedly, they met a representative figure of the bad thoughts in the Tang army.

It's all caused by the translation!

Li Fei Yuanli rushed out of the deck angrily. At this time, the sky was already a little hazy in the night. Suddenly, a noise came from the dock. A large group of Tang soldiers came back with a few stretchers, and everyone's faces were filled with anger.

"What happened?" Li Fei Yuanli shouted sternly.

One person came up to report, "General, several brothers were cut and injured in the city, and their swords were also taken away."

Li Fei Yuanli became even more furious, "What! Dare to bully me, Tang Jun, and ordered all brothers to come back and prepare to raid the guys and massacre the city!"

At this time, a deputy general stepped forward and persuaded: "General, let's talk about it clearly, maybe we are wrong."

In fact, Li Fei Yuanli is not a reckless person. He can stand alone. In history, he has also reached the high position of Beiting Jiedu. Moreover, he is a sharp and enterprising person and does not like to be successful. Li Qing arranged him as the governor of Xinde in hope that he could continue to expand into India. It can be said that he has a good job of employed people. However, Li Fei Yuanli also has two weaknesses, one is lust. For him, women are the first, career is the second, and second, protecting his shortcomings. Even if his subordinates make mistakes, he will put the blame on the other party.

Although it seemed that the soldier was being cut in front of him, it was actually the three cooks who made him angry.

He could not hear the advice from his generals at all. He could not find a reason to teach this country a lesson, but the soldiers were chopped down and he immediately ordered the soldiers to return to the ship.

At this time, the situation was clear. Three of his soldiers were drunk and teased a noble concubine, which annoyed the officials and secretly ordered their subordinates to attack three Tang soldiers, chop them up and take them away.

Soon, all the soldiers who entered the city came back. Li Fei Yuanli ordered the entire army to wear armor, spears, bows and arrows, and lined up on the dock to wait for orders.

Seeing that the matter was going to make a big deal, his generals quickly invited Wei Qingping. Wei Qingping was appointed by Li Qing'an as the Chief Secretary of the Xinde Administration. He was the highest chief executive in the Xinde region. He also fell ill due to seasickness. He heard that Li Fei Yuanli was going to send troops to destroy the country, so he was so scared that he quickly came to persuade him with his sick body.

"General Lifei, this is nothing big, why do you have to ruin the friendly friendship between the two countries?"

Wei Qingping advised him, "General, just explain them and compensate for some medical expenses."

Although Li Fei Yuanli was unruly, he was the only one who was afraid of Li Qing'an. He was afraid that Wei Qingping would pass this incident to Li Qing'an. He had to hold back his anger and said, "Okay! I'll give you a face to the sir, and they'll have a chance."

Li Fei Yuanli slapped the table and shouted: "Go and send me a message to me, ask the king to get out and apologize, hand over all the murderers, and pay 10,000 yuan and twenty beauties. I will forget this time, otherwise, I will destroy his country."

When Wei Qingping heard him speak rudely and wanted a woman, he couldn't help but frown and said, "General, should you pay attention to the wording?"

This was Li Fei Yuanli's biggest concession. Wei Qingping actually wanted to make him pay attention to his words. He couldn't bear it anymore and said with a shady face: "I am a rough man, and I can only speak straightforwardly. Just like that, I can't change a word, and I will send it to them."

Wei Qingping met a soldier when he was a scholar and couldn't explain it clearly. He bit his lips and stopped talking.

After the personal soldiers finished writing the letter, they went ashore and found a local businessman and asked him to go into the city to deliver the letter.

At this time, the Tang army was ready for combat. There were 1,800 infantrymen and 200 cavalrymen. Li Fei Yuanli's men were all elite cavalry. They were reluctant to part with Aima, but they could only bring more than 200 horses at most. Everyone then decided to bring more than 200 war horses. Unexpectedly, they formed a cavalry of 200 people today.

Although most of them were infantry, the Tang army carried cavalry crossbows, long spears and combat knives, and were lined up neatly and powerful.

Li Fei Yuanli also came ashore with a helmet and armor. He rode on the war horse, holding a horizontal knife in his hand, followed by five generals, and also on the war horse.

The sudden change of face of the Tang army also caught the Buddha's Kingdom off guard. King Superi urgently ordered the city gate to close and urgently summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures, but they encountered a problem. The nobleman who caused trouble was the king's uncle Sultanley, so he could not hand over Uncle Wang!

At this time, the ministers were divided into two camps. Wang Zidanduo advocated the resumption of the people, went out of the city to apologize, gave 1,500 taels of gold compensation, and handed over the several thugs who killed the people. As for the twenty beautiful women proposed by Li Fei Yuanli, Wang Zidanduo didn't take it seriously, and it was impossible for him to agree to everything.

But Uncle Wang Sudanli firmly advocated teaching the rude Tang army a lesson. They teased their concubines first, and they deserved to be injured. Moreover, there were only two thousand people in the Tang army and there were 10,000 troops in his city. Why did he surrender to the Tang army?

King Superi was not afraid of the Tang army in front of him, but was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would come to provoke the army. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to adopt Prince Danduo's opinion and admit his mistakes to the Tang army for peace.

He was the king and of course he would not apologize, so he asked the prince to negotiate with the Tang army on his behalf.

The city gate opened, and a team of hundreds of people left the city. The country of Foshi produced a lot of gold. Several followers carried boxes of 1,500 taels of gold, as well as various seafood and coconut wine, to reward the Tang army. Wang Zidanduo walked in front and followed Lin You next to him.

Lin You was a little scared. He knew it well. I was afraid that the anger of the Tang Army General was related to his translation. The Tang Army General wanted a beautiful woman, but he translated it into a cook. Of course, he would never admit that it was his own responsibility.

Prince Danduo walked forward, clasped his hands and said to Li Fei Yuanli: "On behalf of the king of Buddha's deceased king, I will apologize and ask the Tang army to accept our most pious apology."

After Lin You finished interpreting, he waved his hand and several followers lifted the box containing gold. When they opened the box, they suddenly became yellow. Wang Zidan glanced at Li Fei Yuanli with some smugness. This was 1,500 taels of gold, far more than the 10,000 guan he wanted.

Li Fei Yuanli's face was cold, and he didn't even look at Huang Jin. There were two thousand soldiers behind him. If he bowed for a thousand taels of gold, would he still have prestige in the army in the future?

Seeing that the other party was not moved by gold, Wang Zidan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and winked backwards. The follower brought a large amount of seafood and coconut wine, and finally bet on three thugs.

Danduo bowed and said, "These are the three murderers. Now they are handed over to the Tang army to deal with. The other seafood and wine are our wishes. Please accept it for the Tang army!"

Li Fei Yuanli stared at the three murderers. He had asked the injured brothers that they were attacked by more than twenty people. They were a short and fat middle-aged man ordered to be injured. He seemed to be a nobleman. There was a black birthmark under his right eye. The locals said that this man was the king's uncle. The three people in front of him were all thin and small, wearing the same style of short black clothes. You could tell at a glance that they were thugs. Use them to convict them?
