Chapter 1345 Borrowing the Nest
However, it is still deserted now. The center of the Shandi Dynasty is in the capital of Yuanheling Kingdom, which is in the Central Java area. This western coastal area is full of coconut and mangrove forests.
Although it is close to the strait, the Mountain Empire is mainly located on the east coast of the strait, which is closer to the northeast corner of the strait, and is about 200 miles away from the seaside coconut groves that are assigned to Luzon.
Qin Lang likes this place very much. Although it is more than 200 miles away from the strait, there are plains nearby and excellent harbors. The conditions in Jakarta Bay are very good, and there are dense water networks and coconut trees are formed into forests. It is a good place.
After thinking for a while, Qin Lang almost understood what the son-in-law of the Shan Emperor thought.
After King Wolf Fang Xiu and King Sriver Sailed gave the Lion Port to Qin Lang, the Qin family spent less than twenty years to operate this deserted island into one of the best trading ports in the Strait of Malacca, and even drove the economies of the two countries of Wolf Fang Xiu and Sriver Sailed.
This also reduced the transit trade volume of Xunta Strait a lot in disguise. The Shandi Dynasty, east of Xunta Strait, undoubtedly suffered a considerable loss.
At this time, I took out a deserted coconut forest and rented it to the Qin family. This is to borrow a nest to attract phoenixes.
A very smart move.
If the Qin family had this land, if they were to manage it carefully, it would not be as prosperous as the Lion Port at that time, even if it was almost the same, it would not matter. At that time, it would also attract a lot of merchant ships to berth and trade, and it would also drive the economic and trade of the Shandi Dynasty.
What's more, giving away a piece of land can indeed strengthen the relationship with his father-in-law, and in the future, the Qin family will support the Shandi Dynasty to fight back to Funan.
Qin Lang smiled.
This place is so good, it's hard to refuse.
It is only two thousand miles away from Lion Port, and it is only about a thousand miles away from the capital Paleo Port, which is the passing capital of Srivers. It is also about one thousand miles away from the mountain imperial capital to the east.
The most important thing is that this land is on the shore of Xunta Strait. If you take this land, the Qin family will occupy a piece of land in the Malacca Strait and Xunta Strait, which are the most critical to the Xiyi Sea Road.
Not to mention, the two ports radiate Sumatra, Java, and the Malay Peninsula,
In addition, the Qin family’s Shanghai Port on Borneo and the Lin'an Prefecture Saigon on the Mekong River, and the Qin family’s Nanyang strategy can form a perfect closed loop.
"Then I'll thank my beloved son-in-law!"
King Sriva sat down below, looking at the smug look of the Emperor of Shan, and frowned. The countries of Heling and Madalan on Java Island were not rivals of Gantuli, so the trade in the Xunta Strait was generally anchored at the port of Gantuli on the west coast to replenish supplies.
The East Coast is not worth mentioning.
But now the Shan Emperor actually set a large piece of land on the east bank and rented it to his father-in-law. When Langya Xiu gave a deserted island to Qin Lang, the changes here are amazingly enviable.
In time, will this Coconut Port become like this?
Wouldn't that greatly affect the death of Sarivo?
One east and one west, this undoubtedly greatly weakened the control of Saliver's power over the two straits.
But now we can't offend our father-in-law. After all, the alliance established by our father-in-law is too big, and the actual benefits are indeed many and can be seen.
Thinking about it all over the place.
King Saliver had no choice but to stand up unwillingly and proposed to give the Riau Islands to his father-in-law.
The Riau Islands are the northernmost islands of the Sriver Room. The large islands in the archipelago are about 2,000 miles away from the capital Palembang. Further north is the southernmost sea border Guogai Island claimed by the Nanyang Navy of the Tang Dynasty (Anbo Sand Case, also known as the Natuna Islands).
The Riau Islands are quite large, especially the east is very close to Borneo, only a few hundred miles.
In the past, Srivas built a trading port on this island. This was the shelter and supply port for ships when Han merchants headed south. It was also a trading port with Han merchants and Boni countries, which was quite good.
However, since the Qin family opened the port on Shizi Island, it has not been possible here.
Seeing Langya Xiu and Shandi divide the land to open a port for the Qin family, the King of Srivos could not sit still, but he was reluctant to draw a piece of land on the north bank of the local area like Shandi. Even the islands outside Palembang were reluctant to leave, so he finally gave Qin Lang the Riau Islands, which are now a bit useless.
He doesn't even talk about renting, he just gives gifts and respects.
This archipelago is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital, but it is closer to the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. If you give up, just give up.
"Thank you, my son-in-law, I accepted it with a smile. It's not a bad thing to come and not behave. Let's sign an agreement. I accept the gift from your island, and I will give you a few big ships back."
"The same is true for the son-in-law of the Shan Emperor. I will return to your boat later."
"There is also a son-in-law of the Wolf-Tooth Cultivator, and I will give back a few big ships!"
Qin Lang was very generous and each person gave him a few big ships.
The King of Sriver Room was very surprised. He didn't expect that several broken islands could actually get several big ships? He made a lot of money.
Qin Lang was also feeling secretly. It was worth it to exchange for an island with just a few boats, especially since this island was originally on the southernmost border of the Tang Dynasty's sea border. After taking this island, it would be equivalent to expanding the Tang Dynasty's sea border further south for 800 miles. It was worth it.
Then, it is very suitable to build a castle and a port to station a patrol navy, patrol the South China Sea, fight pirates, and guard merchant ships.
From Riau Island to Boni Shanghai Port, the straight line is 1,500 miles, from Riau Island to Shizi Port, and only 1,500 miles to Saigon.
This is a very important strategic support point in Nanyang.
Everyone laughed with their own thoughts.
They all seem to be satisfied.
Qin Lang also struck while the iron was hot and suggested that the ten countries draw troops to form a joint Nanyang security guard fleet.
He said that the Qin family was responsible for ships and instructors. Each family had money and someone paid for them. They were trained and dispatched in a unified manner. They took Riau Island as the base and initially planned to form a fleet of 3,000 people, including surface ships and land forces.
The main task is to patrol Nanyang, guard merchant ships, and fight pirates.
In addition, Qin Lang also said that since the Riau Islands are rich in tin, it would simply be renamed Tin City and Tin Port. In the future, training camps can be built here to train warship captains, sailors, etc. for the alliance countries.
This proposal aroused the interest of several kings. The patrol of the Nanyang Navy of the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, and the armed merchant ships of the Qin family in the Luzon were also very impressive. Now they have the opportunity to order new treasure ships from the Qin family. Of course, they hope to have the opportunity to learn the skills and experience of manipulating and commanding these advanced ships in the Qin family.
In a joyful atmosphere.
Finally, Srivod gave it to the Qin family in Luzon. Hundreds of islands of all sizes and sizes, with an area of nearly 6 million acres. It was named Xigang by Qin Lang.
The land leased by King Xialiantra to Qin Lang has also expanded a lot. Qin Lang named it Coconut Port after the local coconut trees are numerous.
The joint fleet also reached a preliminary agreement, which was led by the Qin family. Each company shared the fees equally and each paid 300 people. The Qin family was responsible for building ships and providing commanders and instructors.
The combined fleet of Tin Port is not only responsible for patrolling the Nanyang and guarding merchant ships, but also for training naval captains and sailors for allies.
In addition, if something happens in the alliance, if there are rebellions and other things, after the allies request aid, the joint fleet will also be obliged to send troops to help quell the rebellion.
In addition, all the free ports and areas of the ten alliance countries allow the ships and marines of the Joint Fleet to berth, supply, and even station.
The negotiations continued for more than a few days in the following day and were quite smooth. The agreements reached one by one, and all parties were very satisfied.
When talking about it later, the pace has slowed down. He only talked for half a day every day. With the remaining half of the day, Qin Lang mainly accompanied the queen and also chatted with several princesses and daughters.
The scenery in Lion Harbor is nice, with blue sky and white clouds, coconut trees and sea breeze.
······
Luoyang.
The emperor sat alone in the imperial study room.
The imperial desk in front of him was filled with secret reports, all about Qin Lang and Luzon.
The letters on the top were sent back from the farthest South China Sea. The above information was about Qin Lang's alliance with the secret meetings of the countries in the Nanyang Shigang.
The members of the League of Ten countries, their respective territory, population, economic and military strength, are listed in the report one by one.
Even their relationship with Qin Lang is listed. The three kings are Qin Lang's son-in-law, one is his in-laws, and the other is his lover. The four kings married Qin Lang's adopted daughter.
This relationship made the emperor frown.
What's even more terrifying is that the intelligence collected by secret spies through hard work also shows that the alliance has reached more and more agreements, such as tariffs, building free ports, and building joint fleets.
Then they had just reached an agreement, and the ten countries jointly sent troops to form a huge expeditionary fleet of 100,000 people, and landed on the southern coast of the Piao Kingdom.
In the name of assisting the Tang Dynasty soldiers to conquer the Piao Yue.
Li Yin couldn't help but sneer when he looked at the information.
I looked down on the teacher.
It was silent that all the powerful countries in Nanyang had united and formed an alliance. The alliance of 100,000 troops went to the Piyue, under the banner of supporting the court, but he seemed to him that it was like Qin Lang emitting a silent threat to him.
The ten countries in Southeast Asia formed an alliance.
One hundred thousand troops.
If Qin Lang can join forces with ten countries to send 100,000 troops to fight Piyue, it means that he is also capable of threatening the court.
Li Yin rubbed his forehead and felt a headache.
It started to hurt again, and my eyes blurred.
The emperor began to hammer the imperial case in pain and let out a low roar.
a long time.
Li Yin was sweating all over and finally recovered.
He looked at the corner of the imperial desk, took the memorials stacked there, opened them again, and looked carefully.
These copies were sent by Qin Lang from Luzon.
One is the tax collection and tax payment list for Luzon summer tax this year. One third of the tax is escorted to Luoyang.
The second part was that Qin Lang presented 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 silver coins to the emperor.
The total amount is only about 200,000 yuan, which is not worth mentioning for the rich emperor. After all, the royal treasury is very rich.
But this money is a contribution, not a tax payment.
At this time, Qin Lang still made contributions as usual, neither too much nor too little, neither too late nor too late.
