Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Min wanted to give the firearms to Li Zhen and Li Yun, which made them a little embarrassed, and Li Yun even hoped to give some money to make up for Li Min's losses. After all, the firearms cost more than one million guan, no matter how rich Li Min was.  , but it is not a small number.

    Seeing Li Zhen and Li Yun's well-deserved look, Li Min smiled secretly in his heart, but he thought about it deeply, and then said righteously: "I don't want the money. You will pay for it wherever you use it in the future."  There are many, but I also want to establish a stronghold in the west. This will not only facilitate the transportation of supplies to you, but also facilitate the exchange of merchant ships. So when you arrive in Tianzhu in the future, help me lay down a place as a stronghold, even if you get this batch of firearms  The payment is due!¡±

    Hearing that Sixth Brother only wanted a piece of land in Tianzhu, Li Zhen and Li Yun were even more embarrassed, because in their view, they had taken such a huge advantage from Li Min, but used a piece of worthless land to pay off the debt.  This is almost like giving it away for free.

    Li Zhen and Li Yun originally wanted to say something more, but were interrupted by Li Min: "Okay, this matter has been settled. Someone will send the information from Tianzhu in a while, and there will be another one."  The latest map of Tianzhu, but my people are not yet able to penetrate deep into the interior of Tianzhu, so they can only draw the coastal terrain of Tianzhu."

    "Thank you, Sixth Brother, you have helped us enough!" Li Zhen and Li Yun were overjoyed when they heard that there was another map. Although they had seen Li Min's world map, they also knew the general shape of Tianzhu.  However, it is far from meeting their marching requirements. After all, no matter what era, military maps require the more detailed the better.

    "We brothers say thank you. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to Sixth Brother!" Li Min said very generously, but at the same time he felt happy in his heart. He was about to get that treasure land.

    The three brothers sat together and chatted for a while, and Li Min gave Li Zhen and Li Yun some suggestions for their future actions, mainly to let them get to Tianzhu.  Don't rush to expand. Instead, first occupy a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then send most of the prairie people's troops there to adapt to the climate there while exploring the surrounding situation. Wait until you have a clear understanding of the surrounding area.  After that, slowly expand outward.  And we must also pay attention to using some diplomatic and gentle means to unite some local forces, and absolutely not make enemies everywhere. Otherwise, no matter how strong their army is, they may not be able to withstand the attacks of all the forces in Tianzhu.

    Although Li Zhen and Li Yun both understand this, it is all an elder brother's concern for his younger brother.  So they all listened very seriously. In addition, Li Min also promised them that they can buy all the food, equipment and other things they need in the future from him, and the price will definitely be lower than that of Datang. This also made Li Zhen and Li Min  Yun was very grateful.

    While the three of them were chatting, Yang Shi suddenly walked in.  He was here to deliver information about Tianzhu. Originally, Wu Meiniang was personally responsible for this matter. After all, Li Zhen was Wu Meiniang's husband, and his future development was also related to Meiniang's happiness. Therefore, Wu Meiniang, as her elder sister, naturally had to personally  Check, but now she is talking to Mrs. Yang about her homesickness over the past few years, so she has no time to come.  That's why Yang Shi sent it here.

    After asking Yang Shi to retreat, Li Min and the other three began to look through the information. Generally speaking, this information was much more detailed than the previous information. It not only introduced all the forces along the southern coast of Tianzhu, but also briefly  It describes the relationship between the various forces, as well as the maximum combat power these forces can achieve, etc.

    There is also a map of Tianzhu.  Although this map seems very crude to Li Min, for Li Zhen and Li Yun, it is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for anything.  The most conspicuous one is the Harbin Dynasty, also known as Qunu Kingdom, which dominates northern Tianzhu. The current king is King Harsi and the capital is Qunu City. It is the most powerful force in Tianzhu now.

    In addition to the Harsha Dynasty, there are also several larger forces in the south. There is an area marked with a dotted line. This is the Chalukya Dynasty. It used to be the overlord of Southern India. It also repelled the attack of King Harsha.  It is a pity that the Chalukya dynasty lost to the Panavas in the war two years ago. Now the country has been destroyed and the capital has been occupied. However, the rule of the Panavas is not stable, and the Chalukyas still retain their  A powerful force that may restore the country at any time now, so this is marked with a dotted line.

    In addition, the Panavas also have their own dynasty and are currently the overlords of the south. However, according to the intelligence system's estimation, the Panavas have a shallow foundation and are likely to be replaced by the Chalouqi people again.  In addition, there are Quzheluo people, Zhaohan people and other forces in the south. Although these forces are not as good as the Chalouji and Panavas, they are also regional overlords and the main opponents of Li Zhen and Li Yun in the future.

    Li Zhen and Li Yun looked at these situations and compared them on the map, deeply engraving all these forces and their locations in their hearts. Although they have not chosen these big forces in recent years, they now know more about the general situation.  There is no harm, and nothing is absolute. Maybe they don't want to provoke others in the past few years, but others may take the initiative to provoke them, so they have to be on guard.

    It¡¯s not easy?After the map and information were verified, Li Zhen and Li Yun took a deep breath, and then asked Li Min: "Brother Six, all the maps of Tianzhu are here. Which one do you want? We can help you."  Beat it down!"

    While Li Zhen was talking, he and Li Yun kept their eyes fixed on Northern Tianzhu, especially the Ganges River Basin, which is the richest and most populous place in Tianzhu, so they thought that Li Yin would definitely be somewhere in Northern Tianzhu.  You need a piece of land and then build a stronghold.

    But Li Min looked at the map with a smile, then stretched out his finger and clicked on a place at the southernmost tip of Tianzhu.  When Li Zhen and Li Yun saw the place pointed by Li Min, they were both stunned, because it was not the mainland of Tianzhu, but an island at the southernmost tip of Tianzhu. According to the mark on the map, it was called Ceylon.  There are two small kingdoms, the Sinhala Kingdom and the Tamil Kingdom. They are constantly fighting each other and are not very strong.

    "Brother Six, are you used to living on Zhudao? How come you want such a place?" Li Zhen asked with some confusion. Li Yun next to her also asked the same question, "Brother Six, although this island is not large in area,  It¡¯s small, but according to the information, it doesn¡¯t seem to be anything special, and the population isn¡¯t very large. Do you want to change places?¡±

    Although Li Min knew that Li Zhen and Li Yun had good intentions, he still insisted: "No need, this island is good, and you know that my most powerful force is the navy. As long as you help me clear the island of soil,  If we have enough manpower, then I can station a navy there. As long as the strait between Ceylon and Tianzhu is blocked, then there is no need to worry about the enemy. In addition, this place can also be used as your supply base. The materials you need, I  You can have someone send you here first, after all, there is no safer place than here."

    Hearing what Sixth Brother Li Min said, Li Zhen and Li Yun both nodded. In addition, they also knew that Sixth Brother was evil and did not say it clearly. That is, if their attack did not go smoothly and they were unable to gain a foothold in Tianzhu, then this Ceylon Island  It can become a way out for them.  Thinking that Sixth Brother had considered it so carefully, Li Zhen and Li Yun no longer persisted, but felt even more grateful to Li Min in their hearts.

    When Li Min saw that Li Zhen and Li Yun agreed, his heart was filled with joy. Although Ceylon Island is not very eye-catching now, Li Min knew that this island would be known as the 'Kingdom of Gemstones' in later generations.  ', Cat's eye, ruby, sapphire and other various gemstones are specialties of this island. In addition, it is also very suitable for the development of tea industry. Ceylon black tea in later generations is also very famous. It seems to be one of the important tea producing areas in the world.  one.

    It is precisely because of knowing this that Li Min gave Li Zhen and Li Yun so many firearms for free. In fact, his purpose was the island of Ceylon. Whether it was gems or tea in the future, they were probably worth millions more.  Guan's firearms were valuable, but it was a pity that Li Zhen and Li Yun didn't know this. They even thought that Li Min had suffered a loss, but they didn't expect that they had fallen into the trap of their unscrupulous brother.

    After discussing the use of Ceylon Island as reward, Li Min, Li Zhen, and Li Yun began to study where to land in Tianzhu. Although the Harsha Dynasty in the north was in decline, its strength was still there, so it must not be provoked.  Although there are several major forces, there are many small countries, and they are constantly fighting against each other. Wars happen almost every day, and the rise and fall of small countries are very common things, and not many people pay attention to them at all.

    In addition, Li Min also named Ceylon Island, so in the end Li Zhen and Li Yun decided that their army would take down Ceylon Island as the first step, and then temporarily rest on the island. However, this island  It belongs to Li Min, and in order to show his support for Li Zhen and Li Yun, Li Min will build a seaport on the island in the shortest possible time to transport various materials to the island.  Yun landed in Tianzhu and got ready.

    After Li Zhen and Li Yun's armies have adapted to the climate of Tianzhu, they will then cross the strait between Ceylon and Tianzhu, and after landing nearby, they will first occupy a place on the mainland, and then build a strong fortress in order to occupy Tianzhu.  Once the bridgehead is strong enough to protect itself, it can then expand outward with all its strength.

    While the three brothers were having a very lively discussion, a young man in white suddenly walked in from outside the garden. This man looked to be at most twenty-seven or eighty years old. Although his appearance was ordinary, he had deep eyes and a kind of expression at the corner of his mouth.  With a confident smile, you can tell at a glance that he is the kind of witty and ever-changing person.

    And when Li Zhen saw this young man coming, he immediately stood up very happily and said: "Brother Six, let me introduce you to a great talent in the world!"
