The sea surface of the South China Sea, compared with the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea in the north, is a different scene.

The sea was as blue as a sparkling Persian blanket, churning and rolling layer by layer, as if the blue blanket was slowly undulating. When the sun shines, the eyes are full of light and flickering. The hot flashes filled the air, and as far as the eye could see, there were only small islands dotted at the open entrance to the Srivijaya Strait, each of which was lush with lush jungle and white sandy beaches. It was as if the vitality was about to overflow from it. During the scattering of dozens of Arabic-style galleys, the triangular sails resemble full white clouds. Pouab stood on the bow of the Arabian galleys of the Sea of Allah, looking at the beautiful sea view in front of him, and did not feel sleepy for several hours.

He is the cousin of Pu Ali, the master of the Srivijaya Pu family, and also the hereditary Sriwijaya nobleman and the governor of the Sriwijaya Navy - "Pu" in Sriwijaya means noble and gentleman, and it is also the custom of Arabs to put the title in front of the name.

As for the surname of the Pu family, there is actually none...... Arabs usually do not have a surname, their habit of giving names is like this, the title is added to their own name, then the name of the father, the name of the grandfather, the name of the grandfather, the name of the grandfather, the name of the grandfather, and finally the name of the place or tribe if it is a famous family. In later generations, that place name or tribal name will be used as a surname.

The Pu family was a pirate earlier, and there was no tribe to boast about, nor could they add a place name, otherwise it must be some "Skull Island" and "Treasure Island", and people would know that they were robbers at a glance.

Therefore, the Pu family, which did not have a place name or tribal name as a surname, took the Chinese transliteration of the title "Pu" as a surname after entering Middle-earth.

However, in Sriwijaya, their family does not have the surname "Pu", but "Ali". This "Ali" is the name of Pu Abu and Pu Ali's grandfather Ali, who is also the one who made the Pu family change from a maritime merchant and a pirate to a Sriwijaya nobleman, and then used his privileges in Sriwijaya to become the most powerful maritime family in the South Seas.

Therefore, the real name of Puab should be Pu. Abu. So-and-so. Ali.

And his Governor of the Sriwijaya Navy is a hereditary position. Sriwijaya is a very old feudal state, deeply influenced by the Asan culture, and is most likely the country founded by the ancient Asan conquerors. In the beginning, they were segregated Brahmans, and their upper class was probably Aryans from India.

However, when the ancestor of the Pu family went to the Srivijaya Strait to be a robber, Brahmanism had long lost its right to rule, and the Tantric Buddhism of Mahayana Buddhism rose (perhaps the number of upper Aryans was too small and had to use Buddhism to fool the Malay untouchables below), becoming the state religion of the Srivijaya country.

Around the time of Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Chola Dynasty, a small state of Brahmanism, rose to prominence and began to wage war against the Buddhist countries around the Bay of Bengal. The Three Buddhas are the most leftovers of the A-San civilization and have always had close relations with the native Buddhist countries of the A-San Dynasty, so they were also involved in conflicts with the Chola Dynasty. He was attacked twice by the powerful Chola Dynasty, and at one point lost the capital of Bolimbang, and declared himself a vassal to the Chola Dynasty.

Now Sriwijaya has been freed from the oppression of the Chola Dynasty and has regained its independence. However, the important vassal state of Srivijaya (a small state that controlled the Clark Isthmus and was also an important trading transit state) remained subject to the Chola dynasty until now.

Moreover, the Chola Dynasty also maintained a huge military presence in the Srivijaya Strait by virtue of its control over the Katoha Kingdom.

In this case, the Pu family pirates and maritime merchant families who believed in the Heavenly Sect were given the opportunity to serve the Srivijaya Kingdom. Not only became a nobleman, but also got the official position of the hereditary governor of the navy - the Heavenly Sect and the Brahmanical Sect are blood feuds, if the Brahmanical maritime power Chola Dynasty controls the Sriwijaya Strait, needless to say, it will definitely impose heavy taxes on the merchants of the Celestial Sect!

From this point of view, the Chola Kingdom can also be regarded as the common enemy of the Three Buddhas and the Celestial Sect Maritime Merchant. It is not surprising that the Pu family, who believe in the Heavenly Sect, was recruited by the Three Buddhas who believe in Buddhism.

Of course, this "hereditary naval governor" is also a name, and the king of Srivijaya will not let Puab command his own naval army. With the help of this name, Pu Abu could only call on the ships of the merchants of the Celestial Sect to fight for the kingdom of Srivijaya.

And this time, the Governor of Puab and the Srivijaya Kingdom are about to encounter an unexpected enemy - the Great Song!

It's unimaginable! On the one hand, the Srivijaya Kingdom was the enemy of Zhuluo, a powerful country in Southern Tianzhu, and the confrontation had lasted for more than a hundred years. On the other hand, it started a war with the Great Song Dynasty, a maritime power in the east...... This is suicide!

Therefore, Pu Abu did not dare to report the news to the king of the Three Buddhas, Bidra and the Great Minister, who were afraid that the monarchs of the Three Buddhas would kneel directly to the Great Song Dynasty. It was only under the pretext that there were pirates from the Annam Kingdom who wanted to loot the wealth of Morajaya that dozens of Srivijaya warships were deployed at the mouth of the Zhanbei River (the waterway leading to the sea in Morayu City) to prepare for war. He led the Pu family's warfleet to the entrance of the Srivijaya Strait to guard to prevent the Song fleet's fleet from crossing the strait directly, or grabbing an island in the strait.

The reason for this deployment is that the capital of Srivijaya is located on the southeast side of the large island later known as Kalimantan, 500 miles away from the entrance to the Sriwijaya Strait.

If Puab had not deployed his fleet separately from the fleet of Srivijayaya, he would not have been able to guard the city of Morayu and the entrance to the Sriwijaya Strait at the same time.

However, the strength of the dispersed fleet was a bit insufficient, so Pu Abu asked Pu Ali to take the banner of Wan Si Sheng to mobilize other Arab maritime merchants in the Srivijaya area, wanting to concentrate their fleet to fight a war of gods.

But Puab was skeptical that anyone would believe Pu Ali's words. How could such a large and weak country as the Great Song Dynasty go to war against the powerful Seljuk Sultan? They are a weak country that even the barbarian Khitans can't beat!

In fact, even Puab himself did not believe Puali's words......

"The hosts! Ship spotted ahead! ”

Puab's ears rang with the voice of his Gulam captain, Yusufu. A Turkic man in his forties, Yusufu was taken to the Pu family's estate in Lahore by traffickers at the age of ten, where he underwent rigorous training to become a water warrior gulam – he could not ride a horse, but could jump from a rickety warship to another nearby warship, and then immediately engage in hand-to-hand combat.

In addition, he was also a very good bow, never lost when commanding a warship at sea, and was Puab's trump card.

The bow of Puab's flagship, the Sea of Allah, was this Yusufu.

"Check it out!"

Puab commanded.

"Yes, my master!"

You Sufu pressed his chest with one hand, saluted, and then quickly climbed up the mast, his palm on his eyebrows, and looked north.

What caught his eye was a huge Arabian galleys. Above the white sails, there is a black flag!

This is the black flag that symbolizes the Abbasids!

"Master," shouted Yusufu, "is an Arabic galleys, flying the flag of the caliphate. ”

Pu Abu nodded slightly, not showing a surprised expression, "You Sufu, you go to the 'Allah Blade', and then take the 'Allah Blade' to inquire about the situation...... If it is a merchant ship from the Song Kingdom, ask if there is a Song Navy Master who wants to conquer the Three Buddhas? ”

"Yes, my master."

Yu Sufu slid from the mast to the deck neatly, then took the command flag from a sailor, waved it a few times, called the "Blade of Allah" driving next to the "Ali", and then jumped up with a rope.

The bow of the "Blade of Allah" is also a water battle gulam named Ayub, from the Kipchak steppe. He was also sold to the Pu family estate in Lahore for training since he was a child, and he was a little older than You Sufu, about 50 years old. Moreover, he also commanded the "Blade of Allah" to escort the Pu family's merchant fleet to Guangzhou many times, so he recognized at a glance the big ship that was coming downwind from the northeast.

"Brother Yusufu, that's 'Said. Wan Ge Su' is the ship of the Wan family in Guangzhou. ”

"Said" means "holy descendant", Wan Gesu, who founded Huaisheng Temple, is not a holy descendant, but he is a disciple of Muhammad, and has a particularly high status in Guangdong and Nanyang, so he is also respected as "Said".

And the descendants of "Said" are all "Said". Therefore, the men of the Guangzhou Wan family can be crowned with "Said" in front of their names.

"It's the ship of the Saidwan family!" You Sufu showed an admiring expression and said to Ayubu, "Brother Ayubu, then let's hurry up and greet you." ”

Driven by eighteen long oars, the Blade of Allah, sailing against the wind, quickly approached Saeed. Wan Ge Su.

Ayub himself stood on the bow of the ship and shouted in a respectful tone: "On the other side is Said. Wan Ge Su? ”

Immediately, someone replied in stiff Arabic, again in a female voice: "Yes! This is Said. Wan Ge Su, the Honorable Said. Muhammad. Wan Suge was on the boat. ”

Oh, my God!

There was a Said!

You Sufu and Ayub all feel extremely honored - now "Said" and "Sharif" are piled up in the Great Food Country, but in Nanyang and Song Kingdom, only the children of the Wan family in Guangzhou dare to name "Said" in front of the name.

"May I ask respected Said, why did you come all the way to the Three Buddhas?" Ayub asked respectfully.

Another replied in a somewhat stiff Arabic voice: "I am Saeed. Muhammad. Wan Suge, I brought my father's divine war decree! ”

It turned out to be Wan Sisheng's son, who came to convey the divine war decree for Wan Sisheng......
