Indochina Peninsula, Lishui Road.

Near the mouth of Lishui (Irrawaddy River in Myanmar), Lishui Bay (Madaban Bay) Harbour Ruiguang City.

The port is busy, and it is October. For the local area where there are only summer, rain and cool seasons in one year, it is the most comfortable cool season of the year, with the cool breeze not cold or hot.

Although Ruiguang Port is not at the mouth of the Lishui River, it is not far from the mouth of the river. It is a natural excellent port. However, before the Qin people arrived, it was just a small fishing village.

However, after nearly twenty years of development, this place has grown from a small Qin army commercial station twenty years ago, then into a Qin concession, colony, and now the capital of the Central South Li Waterway, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Central South Peninsula, becoming an important maritime trade port on the Indochina Peninsula.

Lishui is a river originating from Daxue Mountains at the junction of Yunnan and Xishan Road. Although it is not the longest and largest river in the Piao Kingdom, it has become an important golden waterway today due to its important value in irrigation and shipping.

To the north of the fiefdom of the ninth son of Emperor Ruili Wang Jiacheng, the two tributaries Dulongjiang and Longquan River, is the northernmost part of the treasure ship on Lijiang. The treasure ship can reach Jinbao Port in Ruili County from the mouth of Lishui River throughout the year.

On the river surface of Jinbaogang Wharf, the river width is between one mile and one mile and a half during the low water level season, and the average water depth of the main river is at least thirty feet.

What is particularly rare is that this river is vastly surging south, with high mountain canyons in the northern part of the basin, high mountains and steep mountains in the west, plateau in the east, and low-lying plains in the south. The river rinses out large areas of river valleys and impacts the plains and becomes a fertile land.

The upper valley, the middle valley, the lower valley, and the most fertile estuary delta plains,

The bottom estuary of the delta plain in the river is even more than 600 miles wide, and the Great River Basin is full of granaries.

The Lishui River system that is navigable in the Lishui River Basin is more than 9,600 miles long, and the Lishui River, which is more than 5,000 miles long, is unique in having such a great navigation channel.

Because of this, as early as the Han Dynasty, a route from Yunnan to flow down the Lishui River, sailing out of the Bay of Bengal to India, connecting it with the Indian Ocean channel.

"Wei Lue: Biography of Xirong" records that the waterway of the Great Qin State connects Yongchang County, Yizhou.

This route refers to it, landing from the Myanmar coast and reaching Yongchang County, Yunnan.

At this time, due to the conquest and colonization of the Indochina Peninsula by the Qin Dynasty, especially the imperial court's nearly forty years of development in the southwest, it was no longer difficult to reach the sky from the southwest to the sea. The route of the Lishui River is one, the Nujiang River is one, and the Minu River is one to the west.

Shu brocade, hemp paper, silk embroidery, tea and porcelain from Shu are transported to Dali, Lijiang, Ruili through the tea and horse road, and then enter Ruili Jinbao Port.

Ruili Jinbao Port has also become an important inland canal port. The gems, jade, kapok and the finest wood teak produced in the former Piao Kingdom in the Lijiang River Basin are traded in large quantities here.

There were even rhinoceros horns, ivory, gold, silver, spices from the South China Sea, sugar cane and sugar candy from India, and slaves from all over the country who were very popular in the Qin Dynasty, all gathered here.

For this reason, the ninth prince of the emperor, Luo Jiacheng, is also a very powerful prince among the princes.

Of course, when you head south from Jinbao City, you can reach the Hekou Bay through the entire journey, so the King of Ruiguang County is also a powerful vassal king.

This was established by the second son of the King of Lijiang Luo Cunxiao. Originally, a vassal king could have granted three sons, but it only divided the original fiefdom into three. However, after Luo Cunxiao became a vassal in Lijiang, Yunnan, he made great contributions to the conquest of the Wuman and Baiman in Yunnan, especially in the battle of conquest against the Piao Kingdom, Luo Cunxiao was on the front line. Therefore, the emperor finally allowed Luo Cunxiao's second son to establish the king in the fiefdom of the Lishui River mouth alone.

At this time, the climate of Ruiguang Port is pleasant, cool and comfortable, and the port is busy and lively.

The spices, slaves, gems, grains, cotton, sugar, slaves, slaves from the Indian countries, sugar sugar, jute, gold, silver and various ores from Taisie, etc., are mixed with Arabian horses, camels, missed Persian noble ladies, unlucky Roman prisoners of war slaves, etc.

Accompanied by his second son Luo Defang, the king of Lijiang, Luo Cunxiao sat on the castle building in the port and had breakfast leisurely. Luo Cunxiao, who was over 60 years old, became much fat, with a big belly as big as a ball and a fat body. Sitting there was like a meat ball.

But this fat man, who is like a meat ball, has a great reputation in the Indochina Peninsula, especially in the former former Piao Kingdom in the Lishui River Basin. Back then, the Piao Kingdom fought desperately to resist the Qin army's attack, such as elephant soldiers, cavalry, mountain infantry, etc., and even finally penetrated into the deep mountains and forests to resist stubbornly. However, under Luo Cunxiao's ruthlessness, the Piao Kingdom and many tribes were wiped out one after another, and Luo Cunxiao showed no mercy to those stubborn resisters.

He was called a child in the Lishui River Basin.

It is said that once he led his army to pursue the rebels led by the Prince of the Piao Army into the jungle, and finally got lost in the deep mountains and jungles. The logistics food and grass were completely cut off and there was no supply. In the end, Cunxiao and his subordinates first killed horses and ate meat. After killing all the horses, they also killed the people of the Piao who caught them and ate meat. They even refused to give up the encirclement and suppression, killed the Piao people and marinated them into dried meat and brought them to the army to continue pursuing.

Until he finally surrounded the Prince of Piao, killed him with his own hands, and killed the Prince of Piao to eat it, the prince's head was made into a wine vessel by him.

During that battle, Luo Cunxiao was famous in Central and South China. No one dared to resist again and surrendered and surrendered.

"It's better for you kid. Your elder brother came here last time. When he came back, he complained to me, saying that I was partial and said that he should have come here. It was so cool to eat seafood with the sea breeze. And look at the surroundings, the river estuary plain hundreds of miles wide, the natural granary, and the harbor, such a rich fishery resource, especially the Ruiguang Port, which is so prosperous and rich."

Luo Defang smiled and said, "He was unwilling to let him show off when he was asked to show off. This is a small fishing village, tens of thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Now his son has been here for more than ten years. After gaining the wealth of the imperial court's maritime trade, he has become rich. He is jealous."

"You kid, don't behave well if you get a cheaper one. Your elder brother is just a joke. Lijiang is not worse than you. Although it's a little colder in winter there, it's also a good place. Your younger brothers are really envious."

"What are you envious? Especially the fourth brother. If I hadn't come to Ruiguang to enfeoff the fief, your father would not have his share in the future."

Originally, the only one who only gave the three sons was to give birth to the title. Whoever was born early will take advantage of the situation. The eldest son who took the advantage of the situation is the best, the higher the title, and the larger the territory.
