Outside Menggla Bay. A small boat is sailing slowly. There were three people on the boat, a rowing sailor, a second lieutenant officer, and a captain officer. The captain officer was Jingmen. He was lying on the bow of the boat and was using a binoculars to check what he could see.

"These **** Mengla people don't even lay out the defense line." Jingmen said while looking at the coastline. He didn't see any coastal defense works on the coastline, such as artillery positions, infantry camps, etc. They didn't have any.

"Sir, can we attack directly?" the ensign on the side asked.

"No, we need to wait. We need artillery. We don’t have artillery support. If the other party rushes over a large number of people at once, although we can resist for a while, but if there are too many, the sea will be behind us. There is a possibility of being driven into the sea, the **** Chu country merchants, they didn't hold on. If there is a good bridgehead, it will be easy to say." Jingmen put down the telescope in his hand and rubbed his eyes and said.

"Sir, we'd better wait for support at the moment. Only with the support of artillery can we do bigger things." The second lieutenant said while looking at the distant Menggla Coast.

"Yeah. Wait a minute. Our people need to recover. Only when we regain our strength can we take action. But these Mengla people are really bold. They don't even do fortifications. There is not even one person on the shore. Really. I don't know what they are doing?" Jingmen looked at the Mengla coast in the distance and said in a puzzled way.

In fact, the Menggla people did not build any fortifications. From their point of view, everything they did was accidental. They accidentally attacked the Korean trade zone and at the same time accidentally attacked the Chu people’s trade zone. The original intention was to scare the Koreans and the Chu people. As a result, their troops actually invaded the two trade zones. This was far beyond their expectation. In addition to these, there was more that after the offensive, they chose In order to avoid, instead of actively defending, they also know very well that Chu people and Koreans have artillery, they can bombard their coastline back and forth, they simply can’t keep there, and no one wants to defend. . Many people are here to take advantage, and they are not willing to fight at all. This is something that all of them know.

Toland Island. Huang Jian is meeting a special guest.

"What you have done is very excessive, you let us put down the fire, is this possible?" Huang Jian said to a Mengla messenger very annoyed.

The messenger was called Arrow. It's too long to remember. You can only remember the simplified name. This is a common problem for Chu people and all Central Plains countries.

"For such a thing, we are very sorry, everything is accident, accident, we just make you feel a little bit of pressure, not too much malice. Really, my friend, please trust our sincerity." Arrow said with his hands in a sorry form.

"Sorry. I'm sorry that can't solve the problem at all. Our country is very angry, and the army has come. You can tell them, we can't manage this." Huang Jian said angrily. But everything in Huang Jian was pretended. In fact, Chu people’s losses are much smaller than those of Koreans, and Chu people are merchants. They are unwilling to give up such trade opportunities. They hope to continue trading because it will be more beneficial to them.

"We know this very well. Our king has already severely accused our officers. They already know that they are wrong. We can give you a certain amount of compensation. We can expand the land. We will not harass your trade zone. Yes. But I hope you can continue to provide us with enough arms, after all, we need those things." Arrow said.

"Oh. It’s unlikely. We’ve already lost a lot. You attack like this. If we do business with you, who knows, will we have life safety? If we don’t have life, wealth is okay for us. No, this is what we need right now." Huang Jian said.

"This. I think, my friend, it is not very good to do this. Peace is a very friendly thing for us, and it is good for us." Arrow still persuaded.

"We also want peace, but how to ensure our peace, we need to garrison troops, and we need a larger trading area, and you need to provide a certain amount of compensation, let us recruit more soldiers to protect ourselves, otherwise, There is no peace between us." Huang Jian simply explained his own peace conditions, stationed troops, expanded the control area, and required compensation from the other party to recruit locals to become soldiers to protect their safety.

"This, we need to think about it. We can only provide a certain amount of compensation. We are unlikely to agree to a garrison." Aro said, shaking his head.

"Now is our bottom line. If it can't be done, then there is no way." Huang Jian shook his head and said. This is the first contact between the two sides, but both sides have their own bottom line. The Menggla people know that they can’t afford to provoke the Chu people, and the Chu people don’t want to expand further. For the Koreans, they seem to like the intensification of conflicts, which will lead to greater wars. In the war, they gain more Big benefits.

West Coast of India. Today's Mumbai area, but this is not a big city port.

"Just stop here. There are several small islands here, and it looks like a good port. If you build a city here, it will be very beneficial, especially the city harbor for trade." Song Ge said with a telescope.

"Sir, there are some villages on the shore. Are we launching an attack and attacking them?" First Mate Archie asked.

"No, no, we don't want to attack, and try our best to get along with them. We don't know anything when we come here. We don't want to be driven out by the other party like last time." Song Ge said. In the area where the Changge was anchored last time, it was because the subordinates were too absolute, which directly caused them a lot of losses. Their supplies were not fully replenished, and there was still a lot of fresh water, but his subordinates killed the locals. . The locals united and launched a counterattack swiftly. Fortunately, they were very alert, and their firearms were sharp. After fighting each other, they immediately left the battle and left. They came here to explore and do business. Fighting is not what they hoped. After all, firearms require considerable financial resources.

"Yes, Captain, I understand. I will control my subordinates." Archie said.

"Well. Very good, we need to understand all the local conditions, which is very beneficial to us. After knowing these places, we can do more things." Song Ge said.

In fact, Song Ge doesn’t know whether the locals are friendly or not. Just like last time, they will definitely be attacked, and the locals are not necessarily friendly, and some are hostile and angry towards them. He knows that he should leave. Region, after all, he was not here to fight.

Soon the Chang Ge released the boat and landed. After waiting for a noon time, good news came from the shore. The locals seemed to be very interested in these people from the sea and expressed a warm welcome. So Song Ge let the Long Ge approach.

"Who are they? What is this place called?" Song Ge asked Archie as soon as he landed.

"Sorry, sir, their language is very difficult to understand. The language we know has no effect on them. It seems to be another language. They have always been called Mahala or something. The language is too long, I can't listen to it. Understand." Archie said helplessly, shaking his head.

"Well, that's it." Song Ge said helplessly. Along the way, there are many such situations. They have been naming regions according to the local people's name. Such naming has local characteristics, but language barriers are still a big problem. They can only use the expression of the other person. Gestures, or emotions to judge.

"Captain, is this place called?" First Mate Archie asked.

"Let's call Mahara. Simple, too long, we can't be called at all, we can only use this name." Song Ge said.

"Mahara. This name is a bit difficult to understand." Archie said. For such a name, he thinks it is very ugly. There is no way for the locals to say this, and their language is not understood at all. Hindi is still not completely unified, or unified in the true sense. Although the Maurya dynasty first made India, there are still many problems, such as language. , And the army, the local area still relies on the city-state lord to maintain local order. The Maurya Dynasty encountered big problems in the north. The Yue people’s constant harassment and southward movement led to lower and lower control over here, such as Mengla. Such an example. But the Central Plains countries don't know this at all, because they have just learned about this place, and what they have done is what they have done hundreds of years ago.

"Are there any specialties here?" Song Ge then asked. Song Ge needs to record it and write it down. If you don't do this, you can't judge where they have been, and the government needs these materials too much.

"Yes, that's it." As he said, Archie took two pieces of cloth.

"This is cotton, what they said, it is very comfortable to wear, and this hemp is also light, the weather here is very hot, this kind of thing is of great benefit to us." Archie said.

"Oh." Song Ge just took a look, and then recorded. He doesn't seem to be interested in such things, because he feels that such things are too common.
