"The heavenly soldiers are here! The heavenly army is here!" Many Chinese people followed behind the Marine Corps and shouted, proclaiming the arrival of the heavenly army to the Ma Yi people.

For these Chinese who have been active in this area for a long time, today is indeed a very happy day. We hope that the court will take measures to force the countries in Southeast Asia to abolish their discrimination policies against the Chinese, give them their due rights, and ensure their safety has always been their long-cherished wish. Unfortunately, the court has not taken effective action.

It's different now. More than 10,000 elite troops of the Southern Song Dynasty appeared here, not only razing the port of Manila to the ground, but also starting a military operation to occupy Manila. Needless to say, after Fang Mao's fight, Ma Yiguo naturally did not dare to underestimate the Chinese people anymore. Their rights and interests will be protected and life will be better. It's not enough to make them unhappy or not excited. They are all as happy as the New Year, following the Marine Corps happily, becoming propaganda volunteers, and promoting the Song army's policies to Ma Yi people.

These Chinese people have been in this area for a long time and are familiar with the language of Ma Yiguo. With their participation, they have saved language difficulties and saved Su Dingfang a lot of trouble.

The Marine Corps led by Fang Mao is an elite army. Not only does everyone have a good body, but they also have to be selected through strict training and strict selection conditions. The reason for sending elite army is that Li Jun has two main considerations. One is that they have to pass through many countries. These countries do not know the majesty of the Celestial Empire and must be deterred. Naturally, they must have elite troops.

Another reason is that they must enter the deepest part of the ocean, and they must be elite troops. Once an accident occurs, the adaptability they obtain through their rigorous training will have more opportunities to survive.

King Ma Yi was so obsessed with the desire to attack two invincible warships. It was his own fault to provoke the battle. The incident happened too suddenly, and the army and the people of Ma Yi had no idea what had happened. Seeing the landing team running through the street in an orderly manner, they all looked at it as if they were dumb and looked foolishly, like statues.

Until the Chinese people's excited roar woke them up and knew that the Celestial Kingdom had sent troops to come. For these ordinary people, they knew an unchanging fact: the Celestial Kingdom is full of gold and rich. They just had never seen the Celestial Kingdom's army. In their hearts, the Celestial Kingdom's army was nothing different from the legendary things. They were very curious and immediately followed the Marine Corps to join in the fun as soon as they woke up.

Su Dingfang and others deeply understood Li Jun's intention, to ensure that the countries in this area protect the Chinese people here and provide a good safe environment for businessmen in the Southern Song Dynasty, rather than dealing with the people, they have long restricted the soldiers and not disturbed the people.

The people of Ma Yi saw that the Southern Song army was strict and unscrupulous, which was more than ten times better than the army with dispersed military discipline in their country. In addition, the propaganda of volunteers, saying that the heavenly soldiers came to eliminate violence, eliminate rampant pirates, and protect them were all very happy, and their favor for the Song army increased sharply.

Pirates were rampant and did a lot of things that harmed the local people, which made the people hate them to the core. However, due to complex reasons, the Ma Yi Kingdom could not be wiped out. The people had suffering and could not be expressed, and they could not be exterminated. It was really painful. After listening to the propaganda of the volunteers, it would be difficult to have a good impression of the Southern Song army.

King Ma Yi had never seen such a violent explosion scene. He was so scared that he looked like a slut. He knew that he had touched the tiger's butt, which angered the tiger. He was so scared that he fled back to the palace in a hurry, preparing to pack up valuables and escape from Zejiya.

Unfortunately, he made a mistake in his plan. He entered the palace just before he could enter the palace, and Fang Mao and Su Dingfang arrived. With Fang Mao's order, the Marines surrounded the palace and were completely out of touch. It was impossible for King Ma Yi to escape.

Su Dingfang and Fang Mao led a team of marines directly into the palace to arrest King Ma Yi.

"Sweetheart, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't leave." King Ma Yi shouted to his beloved concubine. He is really romantic, and at this time he is still in the mood to call him sweetheart.

The concubine said coquettishly: "Oh, king, you have urged people to death. Aren't they cleaning up?"

"I don't want those things you have anymore, I've brought enough of them." King Ma Yi stomped his feet and said, "If they don't leave, they will chase them into the palace, and it will be too late."

King Ma Yi has touched the tiger's butt now, and the consequences are very serious. The concubine is bound to re-establish whether she is going to run away with him, the king who is about to fall into trouble, so she simply sit down and said, "King, you go first. It's okay to come to you after they have packed up. Why have to walk together? Let's go separately and have more chances of escape."

It was obvious that he didn't want to follow him anymore. King Ma Yi would not be willing to give up his beloved concubine. He rubbed his hands and said, "Sweetheart, I beg you, can you? Don't throw a tantrum. It's time now, and it's still like this. If you don't leave, it's really too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice rang out: "Don't worry, you can clean up slowly. Wherever you are going, you say, I'll send a boat to you."

"Who?" King Ma Yi asked nervously, now a frightened bird.

A loud voice sounded again: "I." only had one word, but it was so flashy, as if a spectator watching a monkey show was talking.

"It's you?" King Ma Yi finally saw clearly. The master of the voice was Fang Mao. There was still a person standing beside him, Su Dingfang. Behind the two were a group of fully armed marines. King Ma Yi knew very well that his guards were no longer there, his army had completely collapsed, and his throne was gone. He shouted in despair: "Can you not treat me like this? I respect the Celestial Kingdom. I also sent envoys to pay tribute. Please spare me for my loyalty."

Tribute was indeed a tribute, but he did another one. On the surface, he said that he followed the orders of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but secretly he disobeyed and did not obey the Southern Song Dynasty at all. Otherwise, the pirates would have been wiped out long ago. How many countries in this area are not like him?

Fang Mao was a soldier and looked down on King Ma Yi's clown-like performance. He curled his lips and said, "I wonder if there are those two eggs in his crotch?"

"Oh, General, he is okay." The concubine immediately became energetic and leaned towards Fang Mao, saying, "General, I don't know who is stronger than him? I really want to know."

Fang Mao had thick eyebrows and shouted, "Get away."

The concubine originally thought that she could impress Fang Mao with her appearance, but she didn't expect that the fallen flowers would be intentional and the flowing water would be ruthless, which made Fang Mao angry and stunned. It was not until Su Dingfang smiled and said to her: "Beautiful woman, I will give you a good suggestion: men talk, women avoid it." Then she woke up, glanced at Fang Mao with dissatisfaction, and left with her delicate body.

Su Dingfang's performance was completely different from Fang Mao. He slapped King Ma Yi's shoulder and smiled and said, "You are not a way to treat guests. When the master wants to calm down. Come on, there is a stool here, you can sit down." He pressed King Ma Yi's shoulder and asked him to sit down.

Su Dingfang's behavior can be said to be full of gentleman spirit, but in the eyes of King Ma Yi, it was unfathomable. He didn't know what Su Dingfang's intention was. He said in surprise: "Yes, yes, angels are right." He sat down mechanically and immediately realized that he was sitting. Fang Mao and the others were still standing. This was disrespectful to the angels. He was too guilty, so he wanted to stand up. Fang Mao stretched out his big hand, pressed on his shoulder, and said: "No need." He moved a chair and sat down.

The soldiers moved a stool, and Su Dingfang sat down, smiling at King Ma Yi not speaking. This was even more uncomfortable than killing him, and he was frightened and could not understand Su Dingfang's intentions at all.

Fang Mao knew that this was Su Dingfang's usual style. Whenever he wanted to bid, he always comforted you first, which made you at a loss, and then came to discuss business. He thought to himself: "If Lao Su's business is not done well, I will ask him to pay me 100 taels of silver. Otherwise, I will lose this bet too much." He had the idea of ​​preparing to turn the tables.

As Fang Mao expected, just as King Ma Yi showed Su Dingfang that he was almost wet his crotch, he finally spoke slowly and said, "Do you know how serious your sin is?"

In this case, the pressure of silentness is much greater than that of sound. As soon as Su Dingfang spoke, King Ma Yi felt relieved and hurriedly said: "I am neglecting the angels, and I am extremely evil." King Ma Yi called the Southern Song Dynasty the sect leader country, so he naturally had to surrender in front of the envoys of the Celestial Dynasty.

"We came from state affairs, not for our own desires. You are too judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Su Dingfang smiled and said, "You have many sins, and every one is a serious sin, and you will bear any one. Instigate pirates to harm the people of the Celestial Kingdom. This is your evidence of your crime, you have taken it yourself." He took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was full of evidence of the collusion between pirates and ministers of Ma Yi.

Fang Mao and the others captured pirate leaders such as Fellero and Pulpus alive, and it was not a piece of cake to force them to ask about their crimes. These pirate leaders had already scared the power of the Song army and had to take anything away after being forced. It was too simple to obtain evidence of the crime.

King Ma Yi read the record tremblingly, and many ministers were involved. They were incredible for a moment and stuttered: "Is this true?"

Su Dingfang turned his head to look at Fang Mao, and Fang Mao clapped his hands and said, "Bring it in." A group of Song soldiers led many ministers of Ma Yi in. These ministers were as scared as earth-colored as the king of Ma Yi, and their legs were trembling, and they could not even walk on the road. If the soldiers hadn't helped them, they would have lie on the ground like dead dogs.

Having mastered the evidence of these ministers, it was not easy to arrest them. The Marines came ashore and acted separately. These ministers were completely unaware that the disaster was coming, and they were not prepared at all, and they could not even be arrested.

"Pu Zhenggan, are you colluding with the pirates and sharing the spoils?" King Ma Yi asked Pu Zhenggan a little in disbelief, wanting to confirm.

"No." Pu Zhenggan said something. Fang Mao waved his hand and threw the paper that recorded his evidence in front of him. A marine hit his mouth with a knife. Pu Zhenggan screamed and knelt on the ground, saying, "Please spare your life, please spare your life, please spare your life, you will never dare, you will never dare again."

King Ma Yi said in surprise: "It's really true." His eyes swept across the faces of the ministers and lowered their heads one by one. It was obvious that they all colluded with the pirates. For a moment, King Ma Yi suddenly understood and said: "No wonder you want to wipe out the pirates. You all pushed for three or four. So that's what happened."

"Do you agree that the pirates are incompetent, and the people are in trouble?" Su Dingfang asked indifferently at King Ma Yi.

King Ma Yi nodded and said, "Thank you, angel, I admit it. I ask you, angel, what other crimes do I admit it."

"Yeah." Su Dingfang was very satisfied with his confession and said, "The Song Dynasty will discuss matters and will not wrongly accuse people, and will not impose any on you, and will not let some go. The second article is that the court once ordered you to send troops to wipe out pirates, but you did not do it and ignore the imperial order. Do you admit it?"

This is indeed true, and he had no choice but to refuse to admit it. King Ma Yi nodded and said, "Confirm."

"The Chinese people are discriminated against here, and you have exploited them in every way. Your personal and property are threatened. You have not taken measures to protect them. This is the third article. Did I say anything randomly?" Su Dingfang still casually criticized his sins and said, "You said, what do you have to do to be worthy of the court."

This is also an indisputable fact. The reason is that the Song people are too rich, which makes them jealous. King Ma Yi is also a greedy person. He turned a blind eye to this matter, thought for a while, and said, "Compensation, compensation, how much they have lost, we will all compensate."

"When will the compensation be paid?" Su Dingfang is worthy of being a shrewd diplomat. He has to give him a time limit, otherwise he can completely delay.

King Ma Yi thought for a while and said, "The compensation will be made within one month."

"What else?" Fang Mao asked. He did not have the good temper of Su Dingfang, and was very dissatisfied with King Ma Yi not talking about protecting the safety of the Song people.

"I will order the country to no longer discriminate against the people of the court, to loot their property, and to ensure their safety." King Ma Yi was not a very stupid person, and immediately thought of this festival.

"I think you will admit it if you stop the heavenly soldiers." He made such a promise, and Su Dingfang's goal was almost achieved. A smile immediately appeared on his calm face and said to King Ma Yi: "Now, I will tell you a good news. The pirates have flattened the court and the sea is safe."

"This is all the kindness of the Celestial Empire. Heavenly soldiers are everywhere. Just pirates are not the opponent of heavenly soldiers." King Ma Yi also guessed that Su Dingfang had no intention of abolishing his throne. He felt much more relieved, and he became flexible and began to flatter him.

It is very easy to depose such an overseas country. But once it is deposed, it would be too troublesome to support another king. It would be better to still want him to be the king, as long as he is obedient. This is Su Dingfang's plan.

There is another way to deal with it, which is to completely annex Ma Yi Kingdom, but this will encounter another big problem, that is, Ma Yi Kingdom is poor. If it obtains this territory, it will be too troublesome to govern it, which will increase economic pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty and drag down the Mongolian war, which is not cost-effective.

Besides, this territory that is thousands of miles apart has very low reliability. Perhaps it will change tomorrow if it belongs to the court today. If it is not done well, it will add unnecessary trouble to the court. It is better to support an obedient king to rule. It is for this reason that the Huns and Khans were very polite during the Han Dynasty. It is enough to ask them to rule the Huns and block the northern border.

"The imperial court sent a lot of troops this time, and it needed a port to moor warships. I chose it all over the place. If there is no port in Manila, you rent the port to the court. I still don't have much confidence in your security commitment. With this port, the safety of the Chinese people can be guaranteed." Su Dingfang once again showed the wisdom of a diplomat and said: "Don't worry, the court will compensate you and give you 10,000 taels of silver a year. In this way, you have an explanation to the people. If you agree, put your jade seal on it." Put a piece of paper full of the treaty in front of King Ma Yi.

Su Dingfang's actions have shown that he is still the king. King Ma Yi is really happy to come from the sky. Not to mention this condition, he would agree to even a ten thousand times more harsh condition than this and take out the jade seal and cover it.

Lease the Manila port is a ruthless trick. As long as this port is in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty is tantamount to putting a sharp sword on the chest of Ma Yi Kingdom. Ma Yi Kingdom will not be able to do anything if he doesn't obey the court, otherwise, he could send troops from the port at any time and kill him.

The annual rent of 10,000 taels of silver for Ma Yiguo is completely symbolic, and it is not much different from not giving it to others. It is used to stuff people's mouths.

Su Dingfang, a shrewd diplomat, only took this measure to facilitate the order of Ma Yiguo. What he never imagined was how huge the impact this measure would have on the future Royal Expeditionary Force of the Song Dynasty. It was his action this time that created the conditions for the expeditionary forces to carry out overseas expeditions, and these ports became extremely important bases of the expeditionary forces.

The scorching sun hangs high, without a trace of wind or waves, and the sea surface is as calm as a mirror.

The Ocean Fleet embarked on the journey again under Su Dingfang and Fang Mao.

Fang Mao and Su Dingfang, the pair of partners, stood at the bow of the boat, and looked at the mirror-like sea. Fang Mao said, "Old Su, do you think the Three Buddhas will welcome us?"

"It's still a question." Su Dingfang said without looking back: "The battle of Ma Yi Kingdom is enough to intimidate these countries, and they dare not dislike it. Lao Fang, we can do another big deal."

Fang Mao looked at Su Dingfang curiously and asked, "What else is there? You have so many."

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "We go to Sanfoqi and Manzhe Boyi to ask them for ports in the Strait of Malacca. With these ports, this important passage in Malacca falls into the hands of the court, and they dare not ignore the court's orders."

For Sanfoqi and Manzhe Boyi, the Malacca Strait is an extremely important maritime lifeline. Under the clever arrangement of Su Dingfang, the Southern Song Dynasty controlled several important ports on the strait, and this maritime lifeline fell into the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty. The construction materials such as cement and steel bars were transported from the country to build these ports into solid fortresses, which is an important guarantee for the safety of the Malacca Strait.
