I don't know when the current lord of Kalihet, Nagodpur, began to become restless and restless. And the reason why he became like this is nothing more than that he feels tremendous pressure from the outside world.

In fact, among the more than a dozen city-states of Ah San at that time, Nagopur's strength was not very strong, but it was not weak, it belonged to the kind of situation where he couldn't move others, but others couldn't help him. And this situation, such a number of city-states, was not brought to an end until much later. Not to mention, anyway, if it is the original history, until Chen Xuanzang went to Ah San to study Buddhism, Ah San still has this virtue of a multi-city-state.

Don't go too far, just say that Nagopur was originally able to be his city-state lord in Kalihet, he could be very nourished, and he could enjoy power, wealth, and beauty as he pleased, and he could also live his life in peace and comfort. However, the emergence of the caste revolutionary army some time ago caused him to panic. It is important to know that the caste revolutionary army now occupies a number of areas in the southernmost and southeastern parts of the Asan Peninsula, and the original high castes in these areas ......

Needless to say, anyway, the caste revolutionary army was influenced by Lu Ren to come to a large-scale peasant uprising, and what is the attitude of the peasant uprising in China towards corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry? Need more explanation?

So Nagodpur was really frightened, and immediately began to build up his armaments. In fact, at the beginning, he only had more than 10,000 troops. However, because the caste revolutionary army made such a fuss, he had to expand the army to about 30,000...... Don't think that the population of the Asan region was large at that time, the population expansion of the Asan region only began in modern times. And the 30,000 men in Nagodpur were almost beyond the limits of what he could bear, after all, he was only the lord of a city-state. There is really no way to increase it, otherwise Nagor Zen really wants the entire army of more than 100,000 people to come out.

Speaking of which, Nagopur's ability is not very bad, at least at this time, in addition to active military preparations, he has also spent a lot of thought on intelligence and diplomacy. Diplomatically speaking, he tried to forge alliances with several other city-states, but unfortunately to no avail...... Well, there were also many irreconcilable contradictions within the early Ah San, or between the high castes and the high castes, between the priestly group and the priestly group, who made the religion on Ah San's side too mixed and competing for power? And this kind of contradiction is still common in modern society, let alone in that era.

However, although Nagopur did not improve in terms of diplomatic alliances, he did a good job in intelligence, at least he quickly found out that Lu Ren was behind the caste revolutionary army. And for Nagopur, he is really no stranger to Lu Ren, and when he was doing business earlier, Nagopur knew that Lu Ren was a very, very powerful lord, at least very, very rich.

Then, when Lu Ren's corps first arrived in Central Asia, Nagopur also sent a small number of ships to follow the rest fleet to Yangon, wanting to see if he could grab something and pick up some cheap from Lu Ren. However, it turned out that none of the ships he sent out returned.

It was from that time that Nagopur knew that a character like Lu Ren would never be provoked, let alone something like him could afford. So after getting this information, Nagopur wondered if he could get in touch with Lu Ren.

He is not stupid, he knows that at some point, he will probably not be able to withstand the hard top if he wants to go to the hard top, so the end will either surrender or die. Especially if it falls into the hands of the caste revolutionary army, there is no other way but to die. In this case, it is better to find a big backer and surrender as soon as possible...... There is no more nonsense here, anyway, Lu Ren has already made a corresponding analysis, and the actual situation is not much different from what Lu Ren analyzed.

Then, just as Lu Ren said to Huang Zhong and Zhou Yu, it was impossible for Lu Ren to accept this kind of surrender from Nagopur, even though Lu Ren was actually quite happy in his heart. Because if it is accepted, it will cause a series of major differences between Lu Ren and the caste revolutionary army in terms of political ideas, beliefs, slogans, etc.

Once these divisions arise and turn Lu Ren against the caste revolutionary army, wouldn't that make Lu Ren's current good situation have one less friend and one more powerful enemy? And no matter how Lu Ren didn't want to see the Ah San, he didn't want to have any conflicts with these people in terms of spiritual beliefs. Because if you have a spiritual conflict with someone like that, these people will definitely give you a terrible headache......

The castle of Nagodpur is not in the coastal area...... This seems to be a bit of nonsense, and generally no one would build their base camp by the sea. Lu Ren set the administrative center in Keelung at the earliest, there was no way, but didn't he move to Mangjia later?

This is not a big deal, except that although the castle of Nagodpur is not located by the sea, the main harbour of Kalihet is far more prosperous than the castle of Nagodpur. Because in a sense, Calihet is located in the center of the Indian Ocean, and the ships of Luren in the east and the Roman or resting ships in the west are generally replenished in Caliheit, which will naturally lead to the economic development of Calihet.

It can even be said that if Lu Ren had not deliberately set the main export points of goods from the East in Yangon and Malacca, so that the ships in the west would go straight to these two places, then Kalihut was likely to become the main cargo distribution center in the Indian Ocean at that time. Lu Ren: How good is that? Of course, the dominance of some things must be firmly grasped in the hands.

In any case, Khalihut was very prosperous in India at that time, and Nagodpur profited greatly from it. It's just that after Lu Ren sent troops to Central Asia, these Ah Sanmen followed the resting fleet in a daze and wanted to go to Lu Ren's territory to get a vote, but they were defeated and returned, and Lu Ren ordered to cut off the trade related to it, and Kalihat became a little deserted here.

Especially later, Lu Ren sent Huang Zhong and others to seize Ceylon, and established a new transit station for the fleets of the East and the West, and the prosperity of Calihat in the past few years plummeted, and the Roman side would not stop at Caliheit if it was not necessary, but went directly to Ceylon, anyway, the road was not too much.

So by this time, Nagodpur regretted his decision to be dizzy. And with Lu Ren's corps taking full control of Ceylon and supporting the occupation of the Asan Peninsula by the caste revolutionary army, Nagpoour, who was not too stupid, knew that if he didn't take any more action, then he would definitely be unlucky.

Because of this, Nagopur had many contacts with Lu Ren, mainly after Huang Zhong and others occupied Ceylon, Nagopur sent a fleet several times to Ceylon to inquire about the news in the name of business. And because Huang Zhong didn't get Lu Ren's order to attack them before this, he just asked Huang Zhong and them to guard Ceylon, so Huang Zhong and the others took a pretending deaf and dumb attitude towards Nagopur's great courtesy, and did not make any friendly expressions, but they did not embarrass them too much. In short, he just saw Nagopur as a passerby.

Lu Ren's decision is mainly because he doesn't want to be too stiff with the Three Cities of Ah before some conditions are met, because if it is too stiff, if the entire Three Cities of Ah are united to be enemies of him, then it will only add too much trouble to Lu Ren's next attack and rest. To put it bluntly, Lu Ren wanted the caste revolutionary army to make trouble with each other with the Three Cities State, so that Lu Ren himself could save a lot of trouble, so Lu Ren did not directly engage with the Three Cities States.

It's just that where would Nagopur understand Lu Ren's thoughts? In his own opinion, he had offended Lu Ren before because of the fact that he had sent a fleet to Yangon, but now Lu Ren's attitude seemed to be a little indifferent to him? And such a discovery made Nagopur feel a lot more relieved, and his courage became a little bigger, and he wanted to get closer to Lu Ren more and more.

Nagopur's mentality is just like Lu Ren's analysis, this guy wants to find a big backer, and then use this big backer to maintain his own interests. In other words, Nagopur's plan is to pay protection money to Lu Ren, and then continue to exert power in his territory with the protection of "Brother Lu". And because the big backer is Lu Ren, if the caste revolutionary army wants to move him, they will have to weigh it more, so won't his territory be preserved?

But again, Lu Ren could not accept this kind of surrender of Nagodpur out of his follow-up plan. On the one hand, Lu Ren didn't want to have a disagreement with the caste revolutionary army he had supported, and on the other hand, what Lu Ren needed was absolute control of the Kalikhit region, and Nagopur's idea was to pay protection money to Lu Ren, but the territory was not given to Lu Ren, which doomed Lu Ren to attack Kaliheit and Nagopur.

The harbour of Kalimet was still a little deserted on this day. What was a busy wharf a few years ago is now a place for a large number of people to bask in the sun and sleep in...... There is no fleet to dock, what can these people do but sleep and wait for food?

The weather in Kalihet was very hot, so when the cool hours of the morning had passed and the sun was rising, the lazy dock workers could not lie down in the sun and ran to the shade. Among these dock workers, the watchtower workers climbed up to the lookout slowly, intending to lie down and sleep after looking around casually, but after casually glancing at the sea, the watchman shouted: "There is a fleet, there is a fleet!" ”

This shouted to lift the spirits of many of the workers, who had not worked for a while, so they all gathered at the docks and looked out to sea to see the size of the fleet that had come today, and to calculate how much money they would probably make. But as the fleet approached, there was a more discerning and knowledgeable job that exclaimed, "No! Those are warships! It's all a warship from the Han's side!! ”

As soon as this statement came out, in fact, there were many people who did not react, only knowing that a small number of workers turned around and ran. But in the next moment, they hurried away, because the ships had already begun a deterrent shelling. Yes, it was just a deterrent shelling, and the shells all fell a dozen or twenty meters from the pier. It's not that the range is not enough, it's that I don't want to kill people yet.

After the first round of shelling, a number of small and medium-sized ships began to land. There was also a garrison at the Calikhit Wharf, but they did not dare to stop it at this time, because these landed troops were under the cover of artillery fire, and the garrison would only be bombarded if they were to pass by rashly.

It didn't take much time before and after, and about a few hundred troops landed and set up their formation, but there was no next move, just a distant confrontation with the garrison of Calihat. After a few more moments, some of the troops who landed began to shout to the garrison in the local language of Kalihet, which roughly meant that the garrison should come out with someone who could speak, and everyone had something to say to each other.

There were a few brave people on the garrison's side, so they stood up, while the landing force came out with a few people, plus two translators. The two sides met in the middle of the battlefield, and the landing force handed over several documents...... It's a pity that no one on the landing army's side can understand it, because the literacy rate in the Asan area at that time was really not very good. In fact, not to mention in that era, it is said that until the modern society, the education rate of Ah San is still very low.

In short, the garrison was at a loss with those few manuscripts, or the translator on the landing army's side opened his voice and shouted to the garrison after inquiring about the meaning of the above, which roughly meant that Nagopur, the lord of Kalihet, had offended Lu Ren, and now Lu Ren had come to Nagopur for revenge.

However, the fault lies with Nagopur, but Lu Ren doesn't want to hurt the innocent civilians, so today he just sent the fleet over to warn, show the power of Lu Ren's fleet's artillery fire, and at the same time hope that the innocent civilians in the Kalikhit area will flee first.

After shouting these words, the garrison was in an uproar. And at this time, hundreds of landing troops began to board again, and it did not take long to leave the coast and return to the fleet. Then it was under the consternation of the garrison that a new round of shelling began by the fleet. But as before, although the shells flew out a lot, they only hit the sea, stirring up one wave after another, but they did not hit people or buildings.

Although there were no dead people and no buildings destroyed, the commotion was really not small, and the civilians here at the dock were naturally all alarmed.
