Chapter 498 Ceylon Island

Li Yan wanted to give the firearm to Li Zhen and Li Yun, which made them feel a little embarrassed, and Li Yun even hoped to pay some money to make up for Li Yan's losses. After all, a firearm of more than one million guan was not a small amount, no matter how rich Li Yan was.

Seeing Li Zhen and Li Yun feel ashamed, Li Yan laughed in his heart, but he thought about it carefully and said righteously: "I don't need money. You still have more places to use money in the future. But I just happened to want to build a stronghold in the west, which not only facilitates you to transport supplies, but also facilitates merchant ships' exchanges. So when you arrive in India in the future, you will help me build a place to serve as a stronghold, even if you pay for the goods for this batch of firearms!"

When Li Zhen and Li Yun heard that the Sixth Brother actually only had a piece of land in Tianzhu, they felt even more embarrassed because in their opinion, they had taken such a big advantage in Li Yan, but they used a piece of valuable land to pay off their debts, which was almost the same as giving it for free.

Originally, Li Zhen and Li Yun wanted to say something, but were interrupted by Li Yan and said, "Okay, this matter has been settled. Someone will send the information from Tianzhu in a while. There is also a latest map of Tianzhu. However, my people are still unable to penetrate into the inland of Tianzhu, so they can only draw the coastal terrain of Tianzhu."

"Thank you, Brother Six, you have helped us enough!" Li Zhen and Li Yun were overjoyed when they heard another map. Although they had seen Li Yan's world map and knew the approximate shape of Tianzhu, they were far from meeting their requirements for marching. After all, no matter in which era, the more detailed the military map, the better.

"What are our brothers saying about Xie? If you have any difficulties in the future, come to find Brother Six!" Li Yan said generously, but at the same time he was happy. The treasure land was about to be obtained.

The three brothers sat together and chatted for a while. Li Yan gave some suggestions for Li Zhen and Li Yun's future actions, mainly to let them go after they arrived in India. Don't rush to expand, but first occupy a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then send most of the grassland troops there. While adapting to the climate there, they can investigate the surrounding situation. After finding out the surrounding situation, they can slowly expand outward. In addition, they should also pay attention to using some diplomatic and soft means to unite some local forces. They must never make enemies everywhere. Otherwise, no matter how strong their army is, they may not withstand the attacks of all the forces in India.

Although Li Zhen and Li Yun also understand these things, this is the evil of a brother who cares about his younger brother. So they all listened very seriously. In addition, Li Yan also promised them that the food, equipment and other things they needed in the future could be purchased from him, and the price would definitely be lower than that of the Tang Dynasty, which also made Li Zhen and Li Yun very grateful.

While the three were chatting, Yang Shi suddenly walked in. He came to send Tianzhu information. 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, a sister, naturally had to check it personally. However, now she was congratulating her feelings for family love with Mrs. Yang in recent years and she had no time to come. So Yang Shi sent it here.

After Yang Shi retreated, Li Yan and the other two began to read the information. In general, this information was much more detailed than the previous information. Not only did it introduce all the forces along the southern coast of Tianzhu, it also briefly described the relationship between various forces, as well as the maximum combat power that these forces can go out, etc.

There is also a map of India. Although this map seems very simple to Li Yan, it is a treasure for Li Zhen and Li Yun. On this map, the most conspicuous one is the Jieji Dynasty, which lives in northern India, also known as the Qunun Kingdom. The current king is King of Jieji and the capital is Qunun City. It is the most powerful force in India now.

In addition to the Jieji Dynasty, there are several larger forces in the south, including a dotted line. This is the Zhaloqi Dynasty, which was the overlord of Southern India. It also repelled the attack of King Jieji. Unfortunately, the Zhaloqi Dynasty lost to the Panawa people in the war two years ago. Now the country has been destroyed and the capital has been occupied. However, the rule of the Panawa people is not stable. The Zhaloqi people still retains powerful power and can restore the country at any time, so it is marked with a dotted line.

In addition, the Panawa people also have their own dynasties and are now the overlords of the south for the time being. However, according to the intelligence system estimates, the Panawa people have shallow foundations and may be replaced by the Zhalo people again. In addition, there are also forces such as the Quzheluo people and the Zhaohan people in the south. Although these forces are not as good as the Zhalo people and the Panawa people, they are also regional overlords and are also the main opponents of Li Zhen and Li Yun in the future.

While looking at these situations, Li Zhen and Li Yun compared them on the map and deeply engraved them in their hearts. Although they have not chosen these major forces in recent years, it is not harmful to know more about them now, and nothing is absolute. Maybe they don’t want to provoke others in recent years, but they may provoke them on their own initiative, so they have to be careful.

After finally verifying the map and information, Li Zhen and Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Li Yan: "Sixth Brother, Tianzhu's map is here. Look at which piece you want, let's help you draw it!"

While Li Zhen was speaking, he and Li Yun kept staring at Northern Tianzhu, especially the Ganges Basin, which was the richest and most populous place in India, so they thought that Li Yan would definitely ask for a piece of land somewhere in Northern Tianzhu and then build a stronghold.

However, Li Yan smiled and looked at the map, then stretched out his finger and clicked at the southernmost part of Tianzhu. However, Li Zhen and Li Yun were stunned when they saw the spot where Li Yan clicked, because it was not the continent of Tianzhu, but an island at the southernmost part of Tianzhu. According to the mark on the map, it was called Ceylon. There were two small kingdoms on the island, namely the Kingdom of Sinhalese and the Kingdom of Tamil. They fought endlessly and were not very strong.

"Brother Six, are you used to living in Zhudao? Why did you think of such a place?" Li Zhen asked in confusion, and Li Yun next to him also asked, "Yes, Brother Six, although this island is not small in size, according to the information, it seems that it is not special. It is not a large population. Should you change a place?"

Although Li Yan knew that Li Zhen and Li Yun had good intentions, he still insisted: "No, this island is good, and you know that my strongest power is the navy. As long as you help me clear the local people on the island, I can send a navy to station there. As long as the strait between Ceylon and India is blocked, there is no need to worry about the enemy. In addition, this place can also be used as your supply base. I can send you the supplies you need here first. After all, there is no safer place than here."

When they heard the words of the sixth brother Li Yan, Li Zhen and Li Yun nodded. In addition, they also knew that the sixth brother had evil and did not say it clearly, that is, if their attack was not smooth and they could not gain a foothold in India, then Ceylon Island could become their backing. Thinking of the sixth brother's considerations so carefully, Li Zhen and Li Yun no longer insisted, but they were even more grateful to Li Yan.

When Li Yan saw Li Zhen and Li Yun agree, he was very happy. Although Ceylon Island is not very eye-catching now, Li Yan knew that this island was known as the "Gem Kingdom" in later generations. Cat's eye stone, ruby, sapphire and other gems, all of which are specialties on this island. In addition, it is also very suitable for the development of tea-growing industry. Ceylon black tea in later generations is also very famous, and seems to be one of the important tea production areas in the world.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yan gave so many firearms to Li Zhen and Li Yun for free. In fact, his purpose was the island of Ceylon. Whether it was gems or future tea, they were probably more valuable than the millions of firearms. Unfortunately, Li Zhen and Li Yun didn't know this, and even thought that Li Yan suffered a loss, but he didn't expect that he had fallen into the trap of their unscrupulous brothers.

After discussing the remuneration of Ceylon Island, Li Yan, Li Zhen and Li Yun began to study where to land in India? Although the Jieji Dynasty in the north is already on the decline, its strength is still there, so it must not be provoked. Although there are several major forces in the south, there are many small countries and they are fighting each other continuously. Wars occur almost every day, and the prosperity and demise of small countries are very common, and not many people pay attention to it.

In addition, Li Yan called for Ceylon Island, so Li Zhen and Li Yun finally decided that their army would first defeat Ceylon Island and then temporarily rest on the island. However, this island belongs to Li Yan. In order to show his support for Li Zhen and Li Yun, Li Yan would establish a harbor on the island in the shortest time to transport various materials to the island, preparing for Li Zhen and Li Yun to land in Tianzhu later.

After Li Zhen and Li Yun's army adapted to the climate of India, they then crossed the strait between Ceylon and India, and landed nearby, first occupy a piece of land on the mainland, and then built a solid fortress to occupy India for them. After they had the power to protect themselves, they could make every effort to explore outward.

Just as the three brothers were discussing it very enthusiastically, a young man in white suddenly walked in from outside the garden. This man looked at most twenty-seven or eight years old. Although he looked ordinary, his eyes were deep and his mouth was a confident smile. He could tell at a glance that he was a kind of smart and changeable person.
