People who have no faith, no ethnicity, no caste and are close to the living environment of primitive society actually care most about a good life. Of course, if a powerful nation recognizes the beliefs of a small and insignificant nation, it can also annex this small nation.
nationality.
However, if culture and wealth are not enough temptation.
In other words, do people who need to be tempted be too thoughtful?
Li Yuanxing's giant ship is being prepared to explain to the people of the Tang Dynasty, whether they are powerful people or ordinary businessmen, what should they do when faced with greedy guys and when their prey wants to resist.
Malacca City!
It is located in the center of the Strait of Malacca. It was also called Malacca in later generations, three to four hundred kilometers west from Singapore. It is on the south coast of the Malay Peninsula. It was originally an important city for trade between Tianzhu, the Malay Peninsula, and Southeast Asia. You can
It is said that the tariff here supports half of Sriwijaya's fiscal revenue.
This port directly or indirectly supports almost 100,000 people.
Standing on the deck, Li Yuanxing bit into a cigar rolled with wild South Sea tobacco leaves, with a cruel smile on his face.
"I think that at this time, I can't find an excuse to say that I am righteous. Because I am the intruder. Since I have to be a bad guy no matter what, there is no need for those false etiquette. I don't know the censors.
How are you going to impeach this king? Should you kill him without teaching, or start a war without declaring it?"
Is Li Yuanxing talking to himself, or to someone else?
Anyway, Wei Ting, who was standing next to Li Yuanxing, heard everything word for word, but he pretended not to hear it.
Wei Ting is a Confucian. But now he understands that for the sake of huge wealth and huge interests, if he says any nonsense at this time, he will be scolded to death by the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
"Brother Tan!" Li Yuanxing smiled and pointed at the visible city.
"It will fall with one strike!" When it came time to attack the city, Yuchi Gong was naturally confident.
Li Yuanxing turned around: "Brother Tan, don't go too far. Intelligence shows that the king of Srivijaya is here. Capture him alive, and then capture the capital of Srivijaya in front of him. Then sit down and negotiate."
Night!"
Negotiations. In fact, negotiations have already begun.
There was already a small boat approaching on the seashore. Sitting on it was King Srivijaya's envoy. Just seeing the number, size and size of the fleet already made King Srivijaya feel frightened. The most frightening thing was that he did not know about this fleet.
Represents that powerful empire.
"Your Highness, a boat is approaching!" Pei Xi stepped forward to report.
"Really? What did I just say?" Li Yuanxing asked back.
Pei Xi was just stunned for a moment. His eyes were filled with murderous intent immediately: "Send the order, protect one and sink the small boat. The other ships will attack the port indiscriminately, regardless of casualties, loot, or even protecting the port. Your Highness gives the order.
, it’s flattened so we can build a bigger one!”
Pei Xi's words destroyed the bigger one and caused the captains to start cursing into the tin microphone.
"You bastards, you have been practicing hard for so long, and the first time you go to the battlefield, you will wet your pants. From now on, you will go home to nurse your children. Prepare..."
Each ship began to turn, all aiming its broadside toward the port.
With the first shot, the small boat turned into countless wood chips and flew up. No one even cared whether the people on board were dead or alive. The entire port turned into a sea of fire in a few breaths. At least one of the ten shots was
Incendiary bombs. The cost of incendiary bombs is so high that people are reluctant to shoot them.
One shot is worth five guan.
Li Yuanxing looked at the port that was almost reduced to the ground expressionlessly, and just took a puff of his cigar.
Li Yuanxing was asking himself: When did he become so cruel, and he no longer had any psychological burden for invading other countries? Did it start from the battle of Pyongyang, or did he fight too many wars in the past few years in the Tang Dynasty.
He has become accustomed to killing people.
"Your Highness, there is no need to waste cannonballs?" Wei Ting reported from the side after one round.
"Brother Tan!" Li Yuanxing shouted softly, and Yuchi Gong clasped his fists: "Yes!" Then strode to the side of the ship: "Cease fire, the Marines go out. Kill all the resisters on the spot and attack the city!"
Is there any city left to attack?
The captain who led the troops was a little helpless about this order. These days, they have also tried the fighting methods here. Too much equipment has become a burden, especially the hot weather, which makes the soldiers in the north very uncomfortable.
Watching Yuchi Gong get off the boat, Li Yuanxing threw a pocket watch to Wei Ting: "If the dock was not suppressed for half an hour, it means that the Marines need to train again. If the king of Srivijaya was not brought back to the boat within an hour, it means that the special operations team was not trained enough.
.I will go back and wait for news."
Li Yuanxing actually didn't even watch the battle. It can be said that everyone was watching the battle.
Not only the men, but also Cui Yingying and other women were close to the window and watching the first naval battle of the Tang Dynasty. The powerful artillery made the people of the Tang Dynasty full of confidence. Even the women did not feel that there was anything terrible about killing people.
After all, they were not close to the battlefield.
Li Yuanxing didn't want to watch it because this was the first foreign war of aggression in his life.
Li Yuanxing did not want to become a tyrant.
Returning to the inner room, Li Yuanxing let out a long breath and felt a little tired. Qiuxiang brought a piece of ice cream, and Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "Give me a cup of hot tea, and you can use the ice cream."
"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?" Qiuxiang asked obediently.
Li Yuanxing nodded: "Before the Sui Dynasty, the Chinese Han people were enslaved. Later, the Tang Dynasty also fought against the Turks in order to protect the country. But now, the Tang Dynasty is fighting foreign wars, occupying foreign lands, and conquering foreign countries.
The people have become slaves. But I don’t know what the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty think."
"Tiger eats wolf, wolf eats sheep, sheep eats grass. There is nothing wrong with that."
Qiuxiang's answer stunned Li Yuanxing.
Since when did ancient people only care about aggression and no regard for morality? Then all Confucian benevolence and righteousness were thrown into the ditch?
"Ah!" Li Yuanxing came back to his senses. Just now, the map of the Tang Dynasty from its founding to its peak was speeding up in his mind. Naturally, it was getting bigger and bigger. In other words, the battlefield territory of the Tang Dynasty at this time,
Catching slaves is a normal life for the Chinese people who have been oppressed by foreign countries for hundreds of years.
If ordinary people only have some money in their homes, they will definitely have slaves.
On the other hand, the people of the Tang Dynasty also understood that if they were defeated and became slaves, they would accept their fate.
"Report, the king of Srivijaya has been captured." Pei Xi reported at the door.
"The port of Malacca, how to use it, how to distribute it, allow all classes to speak, draw a circle from the port, the area close to the port is the land leased by the Tang Dynasty, representing the territory of the Tang Dynasty, here we must abide by the Tang Dynasty
The rules. Beyond the line is his Srivijaya land."
Li Yuanxing ordered calmly.
After listening to Li Yuanxing's instructions, Pei Xi asked again: "Your Highness, if they ask how big this painting is, how will the general answer?"
"It doesn't matter how big the painting is." Li Yuanxing actually laughed.
Pei Xi understood, but asked again: "Your Highness, why don't you occupy all of this place?"
Li Yuanxing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this question. He walked up to Pei Xi and placed Qiu Xiang's uneaten share of ice cream in Pei Xi's hand: "Calm down, I'm going to send someone with a hundred people to guard this place.
Go ahead and take advantage of it!"
Pei Xi's face turned green. Not to mention a hundred people, even ten or a hundred people couldn't calm this place.
You know, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of indigenous soldiers will be focused here at any time. No matter how weak they are, their numerical advantage is something Pei Xi can't overcome.
Datang no longer has enough troops, and it seems that it will be difficult to fully occupy it now.
Li Yuanxing's big ship did not dock at all, but left two warships with a thousand marines on each ship. As the flames on the warships were threatening, Li Yuanxing believed that the dock had been occupied. Then he sold it to the merchants.
The land was used to establish Datang's concession here.
Concession, a term that once made Li Yuanxing feel ashamed.
But at this time, Li Yuanxing was asked to draw a concession for Datang on foreign land.
The king of Srivijaya was brought on board the boat. After all, the monarch of a country, Yuchi Gong allowed the surrendered guards in his hands to board the boat with fifty people. The officials also selected three to board the boat, and the rest were locked away.
Get up and allow them to redeem themselves.
"I want to see your king!" the king of Srivijaya shouted.
Yuchi Gong raised his head and slapped an official next to King Srivijaya on the face, and then said: "Shut up, who are you? How dare you yell here, be honest, otherwise..." Yuchi Gong sneered.
He then slapped another official on the face, and then smiled at the king of Srivijaya.
I was scared, I was really scared. At this time, the king of Srivijaya already knew that these people were Han people from the north, the Tang Dynasty.
But why he attacked himself, King Srivijaya didn't understand.
The capital of Srivijaya was located at the location of Palembang in later generations, which was about 240 miles away from the seaside. However, there was a large river with two channels connecting to the seaside. Li Yuanxing sent a small boat in front to explore the way. The huge ship had a draft of three meters.
It was so deep that I could only follow cautiously.
It took less than a day to get from Malacca to South Sumatra.
It took almost another day to reach Palembang on this 200-mile waterway.
"A good place, as the capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this is for the soldiers of the primitive indigenous people, not our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty." Li Yuanxing appeared on the deck again, and King Srivijaya was also brought to the deck.
But he couldn't tell who was the real official here.
After observing for a long time, I found the fattest Changsun Wuji and almost pounced on him.
"I am the King of Srivijaya, and you will fight without declaring it!"
Changsun Wuji was stunned, wondering what was going on, what did it have to do with him, what was this guy shouting at him? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
