After the night, when the tide rose, a ship came to report that everything was all right at sea! And also found a very nice natural haven!

Cheng Hong told the ship to bring all the bags over! Except for the five thousand men on the shore, everyone went to harvest rice, and tried to fill all the Chen-class battleships with rice.

If more than 100 boats are fully loaded, it is enough for the entire Jiangnan Dongdao construction site to eat for three months, and it will be possible to run back and forth in about a month and a half by picking up rice for nothing, and traveling along the coast!

At that time, as long as there is still rice in Champa and the fleet is still there, there is no need to worry about the shortage of food! Money and grain, money and grain, as long as one end is solved, Cheng Hong will basically do it!

The sergeants had only eaten for a few days, and they watched the yellow, orange and orange rice floating, and there were more lodging rice on the ground, all of which had sprouted!

The people who watched it were distressed for a while: "The loser's thing, this grain has been thrown into the ground, if we had come two months earlier, we would have collected more than this!"

It turns out that this plain is not managed at all! The rice grows by itself, and the birds and beasts eat it, and the rest falls to the ground, sprouts, and grows rice.

Year after year, if the people in the city are short of rice, they come directly to pick up the rice grains, but this is only a small part of it! Most of them still rot in the ground!

The veterans who had experienced the Sui Rebellion and starved to death of their relatives cried while collecting them: "If I had known how good this place was at that time, my brother would not have starved to death!" It's all rotten! O iniquity! ”

Put all the rice near the dock to dry, wait for the rice to turn into white flowers in the evening, and wait for the next morning, when the ship comes, to load the ship!

The sun is slanting in the west, and Cheng Hong is holding the rice with his hands to see how far he has done, and to see if he can scoop the rice!

"Woo woo", the horn sounded! Cheng Hong picked up the phoenix wings gilt boring and went straight to the place where the horn sounded, not only Cheng Hong, but all the soldiers who were harvesting rice also hurriedly put on their armor and held their blades, and moved closer to the direction of the horn sound!

When Cheng Hong arrived, he found that Hou Jie was leading the sentry to confront a team of people! It's the mud shell eggs that hit the head.

I saw that this thing was talking here and gesturing, and finally asked the person behind him to tie himself up and walk towards Cheng Hong!

When they arrived, they learned through the interpreter who turned the corner that the king wanted to see the leader of their side! That's the king over there, and a day's walk from here is Champa!

Unexpectedly, this storm directly blew Cheng Hong and them near Zhancheng!

Cheng Hong thought for a while: "Hou Jie, give me an explosives bag, if you hear that the explosives bag is blown, you will rush over directly."

Cheng An ordered ten people to meet this king with me! In addition, Zhikui translator will lend me first! I'd like to see what the hell this big king is up to! ”

took the explosives bag and the fire fold, hung it behind him, put the fire fold on his waist, and didn't take the phoenix wings gilt boring, and the two bright silver hammers took it, at this time Cheng An also picked a good person, all of them were sword and shield soldiers!

It can be said that it is not a problem for these twenty people to persist until the army kills them! Ay! There are no horses, and if there were horses, they would have been discovered a long time ago! And there is more than one step of high mobility!

Cheng Hong saw that he was ready, and waved his hand: "Lead the way!"

He understood this, turned around and walked straight back!

Cheng Hong took twenty-four people and went straight to the opponent's army!

After this, everyone's hearts will be suspended.

After Cheng Hong arrived at the opposite army, he found that most of them were using bamboo guns, and the more they went inside, the better the weapons! When I got to the king of Zhancheng, it was basically the same as the previous knife of the Tang Dynasty!

Compared with the current knife, it is still a lot worse! If you slash each other to the sky, you can cut their knives into jagged teeth!

When he came to the elephant that was pulling the king of Champa, the king of Champa walked down from the elephant and said something, and then an old man next to the king of Champa said, "Dare to ask this general, are you an envoy of the kingdom?"

Cheng Hong was shocked, this product actually spoke fluent Tang dialect! Although the voice is a little short, and the words are a little gen, but this is Tang dialect! Finally, I don't have to worry about communication anymore!

Cheng Hong rolled his eyes and said: "I am an envoy of the Kingdom of Shang, the husband of the eldest daughter of the Emperor of the Kingdom!" I originally wanted to go to other countries, but when I came here, I was attacked by the locals, and two grain ships sank, so I came down to replenish food! ”

(Omit the translation, there is a suspicion of the number of water words!) )

The king of Champa said, "Oh, it turned out to be the emperor's daughter-in-law, and I apologize for the attack on this king!" Now Champa is experiencing an unprecedented war, so the people are a little nervous!

As for the rice you have lost, I will make up for you. ”

"Then thank you King Champong!"

"Don't be in a hurry, I have one more thing to ask for here! I have admired the kingdom of God for a long time, and it is very pleasant to meet this king this time!

So this time I want to submit my credentials and ask for attachment, I don't know what this general wants? ”

Cheng Hong rhythmically tapped his fingers: "This is easy to do, I will return to China with your national letter, I will convey your meaning, and when the national letter comes down, I will send it to you!"

"Don't mind, you see that Champa has become your vassal state, and now that the vassal country is attacked, does the suzerainty have to help us?"

Cheng Hong shook his head: "It's not a matter of helping or not!" We're just envoys, not in charge of the war, but if you want, I can sell you some kitchen knives!

It was the one he took back yesterday, and of course we have silk, porcelain, cloth and so on in addition to kitchen knives! If you buy it, I'll give you a discounted price! ”

At this time, the king of Champa began to mutter, "You also saw it yesterday, as long as you press the longer handle, or use two wooden boards to clamp the back of the knife, you can make a long knife with only four kitchen knives!"

When the time comes, if we are fighting with other city-states, we will definitely have the upper hand! Now it's up to him to see how many knives he can sell us! ”

"Yes, yes, it's just that this leader is a little slippery, otherwise it would be nice to let them help deal with the elephant cavalry! If they lose both, we can eat them both!

Look at their armor and their knives and guns! It's all iron! You say can we defeat them and rob them......"

"No! You know, there were 1,000 defenders on the docks! Do you think it's still there? They are definitely tougher than elephant cavalry! So it's best to put your mind to it! ”

"Then let's exchange it with them, anyway, what they want is worthless rice, human things everywhere, you can exchange it for our necessities by stretching out your hand, why fight to death!"

Cheng Hong didn't know what they were talking about, but looking at their eyes from time to time, one or two of them still had a fierce light in their eyes, Cheng Hong took out the explosives bag from behind him and blew the fire fold!

I don't understand what you're saying, you're secretly discussing, aren't you? As long as you dare to play with me for anything else, I will go down to the sky with this explosive bag and let you go to heaven directly!

At this time, the king spoke: "This general, you see that we are fighting now, and we urgently need some weapons, although the kitchen knife can be changed to a big knife, but after all, it is still a bit indecent!"

Now on the battlefield we are all starting to trade human lives for elephant cavalry! You are the suzerain, can you exchange it for some real weapons for us! To fight against elephant cavalry? ”

Cheng Hong thought about it for a while! This city is really indispensable for the time being, if it is gone, it will be a matter next time!

"Hey! Looks like you're having a hard time! Cheng An, bring your strong crossbow! Cheng An took out a strong crossbow from behind his back.

Cheng Hong put on the strings: "King Zhancheng, you go over there and set up a target!"

The king of Champa ordered people to erect a target about thirty meters, Cheng Hong took aim, and with a pull of the trigger, the crossbow arrow shot at the target with the sound of the wind!

This is a pure steel crossbow, this is still a batch made by Cheng Hong after the breakthrough in the steel mill! Coupled with the three-edged armor-piercing arrow, I saw a "snap"! The thigh-thick stake was actually taken away!

Cheng Hong handed the steel crossbow back to Cheng An, someone on the side of the king of Zhancheng had already resisted the wood, and the king of Zhancheng gasped when he saw it, only to see that the crossbow arrow was about to penetrate the stake!

This is wood, if it shoots at an elephant, "Hiss!" "Sell, this thing must be sold!

King Zhancheng looked at Cheng Hong with hot eyes: "How much grain is exchanged for this thing?"

Cheng Hong shook his head: "This thing doesn't need to be exchanged for food!" Ten strong crossbows, with a hundred crossbow arrows, I want you to have a ten-mile radius of this dock!

This is also for your own good, since you have become a subsidiary, we have to take care of you, and when the time comes, the Tang ships will come and bring silk, porcelain, and ironware in exchange for your food!

But we can't always be here, can we? So we have to build a granary, and by the way, repair this dock for docking!

If you don't give it to the king of Zhancheng, you don't have to worry about it, if you don't agree, this crossbow arrow will definitely not be given to you, because this thing is also a forbidden thing in our Datang! I can't give it to you without a good reason!

If you give me the dock, I can say that this is a bow and crossbow for dock defense! So it's ready for you! ”

The king of Champa struggled for a long time, and finally his desire for crossbow arrows was greater than his desire for land: "For you, the dock is ten miles away, and it is all yours!"

Cheng Hong nodded, revealing a smile: "Okay, King Zhancheng is refreshing!" I'm sending you fifty arrows! It's just that this pier still needs to be bothered by the King of Champa to help build it! ”

"Small meaning, small meaning!"

Cheng Hong arched his hand: "Then I'll go back and prepare for the king of Zhancheng!" Hurry up and bring the food these days, and I will mark my things with the exchange ratio and place them near the dock for you to exchange!

It's best to help promote the Champa King, not only the Champa King, but also the civilians in your city who want to come and exchange it, we welcome it!

The main thing is that the sooner it is installed here, the sooner we will come next time! The more you bring back, the more you bring! The most powerful person is still the king of Champong! ”

After finishing speaking, Cheng Hong arched his hand and said goodbye! The king of Champa here also hurried back!
