Hu Yanqing and the great monk Yuan Jue were both standing on the bow deck of the "Tianli" Song-style galleys, holding a telescope and looking at everything in front of them.

The port of Mo Luo Yu was displayed in front of them.

Mo Luo Yu is also known as Mo Luo You, Ma Lai You, and the Malays of later generations got their names from this place. The port here is an inland port, built near the Ruhai mouth of the Batang River, which flows through the Morayu Plain. Relying on the port, of course, it is a bustling and crowded commercial market. Legend has it that the Golden Pagoda Futu Temple, which can bless the smooth sailing of maritime merchants, is magnificent and magnificent, standing in a large number of chaotic buildings. The huge Baojin Pagoda reflects a dazzling golden light, which seems to show the prosperity of the Sriwijaya Kingdom's roadblock toll business.

In addition to the Jinta Futu Temple, most of the buildings in the area of Mo Luo Yu Port are mixed with bamboo and wood, most of them are randomly built houses, and there are also some strict and rich houses, almost all of which exude a strong architectural style of Tianfangjiao, and only a few Chinese courtyards with cornices and arches.

The port is surrounded by rice paddies, and the climate here in Nanyang is warm and rainy, and the rice crops are harvested three times a year. In the northern Central Plains, when the weather is still frozen and snowy, the rice fields here are surging with golden rice waves, and there is no end in sight. Between the rice waves, you can occasionally see the local villages, and at this time the smoke is rising, which looks rich and comfortable.

The river is full of merchant ships laden with goods and dotted with fishing boats, most of which are Arabic-style and some Chinese-style. The fishing boats are small wooden boats of the local aborigines, and groups go out to sea to make a living. And it is not so easy for merchant ships to leave the port. The warships flying the Buddhist swastika flag blocked outside the mouth of the Badang River had to be inspected, and the ships that belonged to the Han merchants of the Song State could not leave. Merchant ships of other countries are not allowed to enter or leave.

The waterway leading to the capital of the Srivijaya Kingdom has now been blocked by the warships of the Great Song Dynasty!

As for the warships of the Sriwijaya Kingdom, most of them were now scattered in the winding rivers, and it was too late to concentrate - although Puab reported the news of the attack of the "large number of pirates" to the king and the minister of the Sriwijaya Kingdom, and asked them to send warships to defend the sea beyond the mouth of the river. But now it's been a few days, and I haven't seen any pirates, where do a bunch of Srivijaya masters still have the heart to go to sea with a ship to wait stupidly?

Besides, who doesn't know that the biggest pirate in the Sriwijaya Strait is the Pu family? If there are really any pirates who are strong enough to defeat all the Pu family pirates, then they are good friends of the Three Buddhas and Qi monarchs, what else can they suppress? It is only right for everyone to unite to do a good job in the cause of blocking and collecting fees in the Sriwijaya Strait......

Therefore, when the Great Song warships flying the Buddhist swastika swarmed to the mouth of the Badang River to implement the blockade, the officials and people of the Srivijaya Kingdom, as well as the merchants who were blocked in the port, did not seem too alarmed.

In addition, the gods and Buddhas symbolized by the swastika flag of the Song fleet are also believed in by the Three Buddhas!

The Brahmanical army that really scared the Sriwijaya people, whether it was the Chola Kingdom, which had been fighting with the Srivijaya for a hundred years, or the enemies on the island of Java, all believed in Brahmanism. That's the mortal enemy!

In the estuary, two small sentinel boats were driven by oars, slowly heading towards the Great Song warships lined up outside the estuary. On the bow deck of one of the sentinel ships stood an old man in a silk cardigan with a bun on his head. On the other boat, a Srivijaya warrior dressed in a silk coat and carrying a long sword.

Hu Yanqing had already found two three-Buddha sentry boats, and said to the great monk Yuanjue next to him with a smile: "Finally someone is here, it's really dull!" Our warships blocked their doors, so someone came to inquire, and I didn't see any warships. Hehe, if we really had any bad intentions, we would have taken down that commercial port a long time ago. ”

Yuan Jue clasped his hands together, "Good, good, we didn't come from afar to rob, but to unite the monks of the world, promote the Buddha's righteous path, and save the holy land of Tianzhu Buddhism!" ”

"What the master taught was," Hu Yanqing also folded his palms, with a pious face, "This official has committed the ...... of greed."

Yuan Jue said with a smile: "Huyan inspection, you are not greedy, we came so far to save the holy land of Buddhism, and also to protect the Three Buddhas from being bullied by foreign powers." The monarchs and ministers of the Three Buddhas are also disciples of the Buddha, and they also have the responsibility of eliminating demons and defending the way. Now I don't want them to send troops to help the war, will they be reluctant to give one or two million military expenses? ”

"That's what the master said." Hu Yanqing smiled, "It's only one or two million...... They have been blocking the strait to collect money for hundreds of years, and they will still care about these small money? ”

"Definitely don't care," Yuan Jue said, "They believe in Buddhism, the four are empty!" What is money? ”

"Hahaha, yes, yes!" Hu Yanqing said with a smile, "It seems that Ji Zheng sent you to the Three Buddhas Kingdom to find the right person." ”

Yuan Jue smiled and said to a little novice beside him: "Go and get the poor monk's purple robe and ring knife!" ”

It turns out that Yuan Jue, a fake monk who worships the Buddha of Light (he did not have a degree), now not only has a purple robe that symbolizes high-ranking monks, but also visits the Three Buddhas as a diplomatic monk of the Great Song Dynasty!

As for the nonsense of "uniting the monks of the world, promoting the righteous path of the Buddha, and saving the holy land of Tianzhu Buddhism", you will know that it is the style of Yuntai School Palace when you hear it.

That's a bit of a nonsense!

That is, Ji Yi, who was born in a pirate (maritime business) family and opened Jingdong Commercial Market as a bourgeois leader, did it - although he has a lot of authority, can act cheaply, and can transfer diplomacy. But this kind of road is definitely not something that the traditional Confucian bureaucracy can do.

If Su Zhe had been replaced to preside over this foreign visit, it would have been impossible to fool foreign friends in this way.

……

Two friendly people have already boarded the "Tianli", one of them is an immigrant from the Song Kingdom who holds the official position of the Three Buddhas, an old man named Liang Youwen. The other was the governor of the Batang estuary of the Srivijaya country, a Malay warrior named Topan Yapu.

"Reason! Slay the demons! Protect! ”

Greeting the two friendly envoys were twelve ironclad warriors dressed in full armor and holding Da Mo swords. When the two envoys were hoisted onto the deck by a large basket, and as soon as the battle was secured, the samurai lined up on either side shouted in unison. The two friends were shaken, and the old man named Liang Youwen looked surprised, staring at the "iron men" for a while.

And the Malay face of the Badang estuary governor had an expression of fear that could not be concealed - how could there be ironclad soldiers on board? And their iron armor looks very strong, what kind of weapon can be used to pierce it?

"Liang Youwen, the official of the Three Buddhas Qi Country Badang River Estuary Business Market Administrator," the old man spoke Cantonese Chinese as soon as he opened his mouth, "This Tuo Pan Yapu nobleman, the chief manager of the Badang River Estuary of the Three Buddhas Qi Country, may I ask ...... you are?"

"I'm waiting for the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers!" The ironclad soldier on the Tianli roared, "The enemy country is coming, hand over the blade!" ”

"Hand over your blade!" The rest of the ironclads shouted along.

"This ......" Liang Laohan was stunned for a moment, thinking: What's going on? When did the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty become so unreasonable?

He was actually a maritime merchant from the Song Kingdom, because he did a little bad thing (robbery) along the coast of Guangdong, he couldn't go back to his hometown, and he couldn't run to the sea when he was old, so he simply settled in Srivijaya and made friends with the big minister leather socks of Srivijaya State. On the recommendation of the latter, he became an official in charge of the city.

Although he has not returned to his hometown for many years, he still understands the situation of the Great Song Dynasty - the Great Song Dynasty is still a prosperous and prosperous world, and it is still a world of scholars......

"Are you really the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty?" The old man looked at the dozen fierce iron men in front of him, and there was a sense of intimacy in his heart, as if he had met an old comrade-in-arms.

"Of course we are officers and soldiers!" The fire chief glared, "We are all good officers and soldiers who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic!" ”

He pointed at the nobleman of Yapu next to Tuo with a Mo knife, and the barbarian, quickly hand over the blade! ”

Liang Youwen frowned, "How can you treat the nobles of the Three Buddhas like this?" What are you waiting for the Three Buddhas to do? Could it be that he was ordered by the official family to crusade against the Three Buddhas? ”

"We are on the orders of today's son to come to the aid of the Tianzhu Balo Kingdom and help them resist the attack of the Heavenly Sect Sudan, so that the Buddha's enlightenment and cultivation land will not be ravaged by the outer Dao!"

That fire commander is really a good officer and soldier who can speak well, and he speaks according to the words taught to him by the great monk Yuanjue.

He said with a look of resentment: "But when our fleet sailed to Puluozhong Island, it was ambushed by Pu Abu, the governor of the naval army of your Three Buddhas, and a total of fifty warships in the style of Great Food were all sunk by us!"

Now it's the turn of Mo Luo Yu's outer demon to confer the head! ”

"Ahh Liang Youwen couldn't believe his ears.

What medicine did Pu Abu's boy take wrong? Lead the 50 warships of the Pu family to go to war with the Song Kingdom? And all sunk?

It seems that the Pu family's boat is gone forever! Even if they didn't all sink, they should have suffered heavy losses, and they didn't dare to go back to Mo Luo Yu.

This is really a miserable harm to the Three Buddhas!

"Liang Youwen!" The Malay warrior named Topan Yapu couldn't understand the Chinese language, and he was a little impatient, "Why didn't the Song people welcome the envoy into the cabin?" This is the territory of Srivijaya! They're not afraid ......."

"O nobleman!" Liang Youwen stomped his feet, "Something is wrong, the Three Buddhas and the Great Song Dynasty have already started a war...... Pu Abu led the fleet of the Pu family in a fierce battle with the Great Song Naval Division in Puluo, and the whole army was wiped out! Now the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers are here to ask Luo Yu for their crimes! ”

What the? Topan Apu was almost stupid when he heard it! Pu Abu and the Great Song went to war? Is he crazy? There seems to be a lot of business in Da Song in his family, and he doesn't want them anymore? Why?

"Nobleman!" Liang Youwen said, "The Song people said that they went to Tianzhu to help the people of the Polo royal family fight the Tianfang Sect at the behest of the Son of Heaven...... Noble, why did you kneel? Stand up, don't be afraid, the Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette that is reasonable! ”
