Wang Shao smiled and said: "Let's wait one night. We will start cleaning up the waterways tomorrow. Shaobao said that he will send envoys from the South China Sea countries here to prevent them from being able to enter the port by then. That is a big joke."

Traveling with the wind, Yunzhou to Meizhou only takes four days by sea. In addition, Wang Shao spent several days repairing in Meizhou and several more days in Longya City. When Su You arrived at Macheng with a large fleet, the war started.

It's only been three days.

This was the most powerful demonstration. When we came from Longya City, countless ship planks, wreckage, and corpses were drifting down the ocean current.

The Srivijaya envoy Bigara's face was pale, and the deputy envoys on both sides were trembling with fear.

Outside Longya City, nine schooners were lined up majestically outside the seaport, and further inside, there were more than a hundred old-style seagoing ships on one side.

When the envoys' ships arrived at Haikou, flames suddenly burst out from the cannons of Ningyuan and Zhiyuan, "rumbling, rumbling..." Thirty-six thunderbolts roared, startling the envoys to stagger.

"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!" The sailors on the battleships on both sides beat their chests with their hands in unison, and stared with admiration at a figure in purple robes on the deck of the Feiyu, carrying a

Holding his hands in a solemn manner, he entered the temporarily opened waterway into the harbor.

On the top of the main mast, a blood-red triangular flag with Song characters fluttered in the sea breeze.

The victorious army was as powerful as a rainbow.

The Flying Fish took the lead, leading the envoys' ships through the newly cleared waterway and into the river mouth.

Both sides of the waterway were like hell. The wreckage of more than 300 large and small ships were beaten by the waves, swaying and crashing in the sea water, making miserable groans.

The overturned hull, the blackened broken masts, the outstretched ribs, and the broken ship into several sections all showed what kind of tragic situation this place had experienced.

The King Kong, a huge figure that once made the South China Sea merchants talk about it, now lies miserably on the left side of the waterway.

The bow of the ship has completely disappeared, and only a burnt-black rudder remains at the stern. The ship plank on one side of the ship has been almost completely lifted, revealing a huge cavity, and the cabin inside can be seen that was blown to pieces.

Finally, a mast could not withstand its own gravity, and fell down with a creaking sound, hitting a broken ship next to it, making a loud bang, making the envoys tremble involuntarily.

Fortunately, the inner harbor was still intact. Wang Shao, Sun Neng, Wei Shou'an, and Liu Shiheng, leading hundreds of new troops, as well as the envoys and companions of the Song Dynasty who had burned more than 30 of their ships to coke, lined up to welcome them.

.

Su You got off the boat, smiled and nodded to his own people. He waited until the envoys from various countries gathered behind him, then turned his head: "Everyone, are you satisfied with the result?"

There was still a strong smell of fireworks in the air, and the ambassador of Zhunian State first trembled and prostrated on the ground: "Congratulations to the Emperor Song Dynasty for their great victory and the glory of the South China Sea. The Zhunian State must obey the suzerain and jointly safeguard the laws of the South China Sea. If there is any rebellion, we will not do anything."

Ministers, if you submit the edict without any effort, you should all agree with it!"

Are you kidding me? When going out along the strait, the first thing that will bear the brunt is the chariot. If you don't show your loyalty quickly at this time, the king will be frightened and he will not be able to escape the blame even if he goes back.

The rest of the envoys also hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loyalty and obedience. The envoy from Zapo was proficient in writing and was especially brilliant: "The emperor is wise and has great power and virtue. When I go to the country to miss my relatives, I have great kindness."

"Foreign countries often invade each other, and the people are like mustard, scattered by the wind, and they are homeless."

"If it weren't for the protection of the emperor's heavenly virtue, and sent his virtuous ministers to travel thousands of miles across the sea, to revise the laws and regulations, and to clean up the system, why would everyone be afraid of the power of heaven and not dare to murder?!"

"When I am a country, I look up to the benevolent saints, who are like the heavens and carry them like the earth. When I come to my country and receive blessings, they are all within the reach of the saints. Even though I die, there is no way to repay me."

Su You looked at Biga Luo with a half-smile but not a smile: "Envoy of Srivijaya, what do you think?"

The situation was stronger than the others. Cold sweat broke out on Biga Luo's forehead, and he had no choice but to kneel to the ground: "After I come to the country, I will definitely obey the orders of the sect leader, but if I have an order, I will not dare to disobey it."

Su You glanced at the envoys again: "The Song Dynasty is a moderate country and has always been committed to peace and order."

"Both people and countries need to be reverent. I have a friend from the Wisdom Palace in the West. He said that their holy scriptures record a sentence, 'The true God does like those who are reverent.'"

The food envoys and maritime merchants all nodded. I heard that Prince Shaobao was the teacher of the successor of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. He was indeed very knowledgeable and even knew the holy scriptures of the West.

I heard Su You continue to say: "The same is true for me in China. The classics left by our ancestors thousands of years ago require us to respect heaven, respect our ancestors, be filial to our relatives, protect the people, respect the virtuous, value education, and honor our elders.

Punish carefully and be virtuous."

"This time, at the request of various countries, we are rectifying the order in the South China Sea. I think the destruction of Pu Shima should be a lesson for not following the rules."

"This is not the starting point of the strait. The starting point of the strait is Penang Island further west. From now on, the Song Dynasty will send naval troops to patrol the three places to protect all sea vessels and safely pass through the strait. They will stop along the way and the ports will collect parking fees. No

Higher than thirty-one."

All the merchants knelt on the ground, they were really happy: "Thank you Huang Song, thank you Shaobao!"

"Get up." Su You smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? Come with me to thank the heroes of this battle."

Arriving at the square from the dock, Wang Shao came over and saluted: "Welcome to you, Shaobao. Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission this time. We sank and destroyed the bandit Pu Shima in the South China Sea, and Mufti's fleet had 537 warships and wiped out 36,000 soldiers."

Youqi, captured Longya City and Macheng's second port, lost thirty-three warships, and had no casualties..."

There was a gasping sound from behind, and Su You secretly laughed in his heart.

In fact, there were still some injuries, but they were really negligible. Pu Shima was unable to form an effective attack on the Song Navy from the beginning to the end.

However, I am afraid that the secret of the ballista cannot be kept. Even if there is no spring steel, it is estimated that ships from various countries will soon be equipped with hemp rope ballistae.

But do you still care?

Su You praised the soldiers and companions of the Song Dynasty, and then turned to greet the ambassadors: "Never forget the past, the future is the guide. Otherwise, we will establish the "South China Sea Maritime Convention" at this place, so that everyone can

Can you see every passing ship?"

Of course, everyone cheered, so Su You took them to a pit, gave each of them a shovel wrapped in red silk, and held a groundbreaking ceremony.

After the formalities, the envoys and merchants were brought to the capital hall, and Su You handed them a large pile of information: "Come on, these are the formal documents that everyone needs to sign... This is the complaint of the merchants from various countries.

, who accuses the pirate group headed by Pu Shima of numerous crimes, take a look at it, sign and seal it if there is no problem."

"Okay, let's change a pen. The ink has been glued for everyone. This one is a petition asking the Song Dynasty to send troops to rectify the South China Sea. Take a look at it. If you have no questions, please sign and seal it."

"Well, there is also this one. This is a petition for everyone to request the Song Dynasty to garrison Longya City, Macheng, and Penang Island. Take a look at it and sign and seal it if you have no questions."

"This is the taxation, settlement, trade, and investment terms for merchants compiled by the Municipal Shipping Department. After this trade fair, everyone must be familiar with it. It has been distributed to everyone before. Now, everyone is also asked to sign and stamp it.

chapter."

"Okay, this last one is the official South China Sea Maritime Convention. Every country has a copy. If there are other countries willing to participate in the future, we will confirm it through letters of credence."

"But as the first round of member states, you will sign your solemn names on the convention and keep it in your own national archives. Come on, each of you will sign your copy and pass it to the next country.

envoy."

After speaking, he opened the "South China Sea Maritime Convention" with gold-plated cover in sheepskin, turned to the end of the document, and signed with a hard pen "Huang Song Jiaozhi Road Transportation and Appeasement Envoy, Prince Shaobao, Bachelor of Guanwen Palace" where the representative of the Song Dynasty was.

, Su You.”

After stamping his seal, he passed it to the Srivijaya ambassador next to him.

You took over the convention passed by Ambassador Zapo next to you and started writing it again.

This round of ceremony went on for a long time, the ambassadors signed a bunch of documents, and then Su You clapped his hands and held a farewell banquet for the envoys.
Chapter completed!
