    After putting Yin Kel, a descendant of the Sinhalese royal family, on the throne, Yang Yi immediately asked Yin Kel to mobilize an army of 10,000 to accompany him in his northern expedition to Zhunian.

    Not many people in Sinhalese object to this, because over the past century, Zunian has invaded Sinhalese many times, Zhunian has a strong military, Sinhala has been defeated many times, and suffered heavy casualties. It can be said that the hatred between the two countries is as deep as the sea.

    If they can "unite" the powerful Yang family army to defeat the Zhunian Kingdom and destroy this formidable enemy, Sinhalese would be happy for it.

    Of course, Yin Ker had no other choice but to order troops, unless he no longer wanted the throne.

    A fleet of more than 10,000 troops and nearly 200 large and small ships set off from Gaolangbu Port and marched toward Thanjavur, the capital of the Zhunan Kingdom.

    The Zhunian Kingdom was also called the Zhuluo Kingdom due to different pronunciation. The eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty called Zhunian the Zhuliye Kingdom in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".  The capital, Thanjavur, is located in the heart of the Cauvery Delta on the southern coast of India.

    Since the fall of the Gupta dynasty, India has been in a state of division for five or six hundred years. There are many small kingdoms dotted around the country, including one or twenty kingdoms such as Pallava, Chalukya, Kuzheluo Ruodihara, Zhaohan, and Zhuxiang;

    If you include those independent tribes, it would be difficult to count. In the original history, it was not until the arrival of the Mongol army and the emergence of the Mughal Dynasty that India became unified again.

    Among the many kingdoms, large and small, the Kingdom of Zhunan in South India began to prosper after King Rajendra I came to the throne a hundred years ago. It entered its heyday after Rajendra I came to the throne and became India.  The most powerful country on the continent.

    Its power continues to expand northward.  After defeating the Pala Kingdom in Bangladesh, it once occupied the lower Ganges area.

    In order to seize commercial routes in the Indian Ocean.  He even crossed the Indian Ocean and captured the Malay Peninsula, Kalimantan and other places in Srivijaya.

    ??From Rajendra I to the present Prolali I.  The Zhunian Kingdom has experienced the rule of three more kings. Sixty years have passed. Although the Zhunian Kingdom has slowly declined, it is still the most powerful kingdom in the Indian continent.

    It takes about two days to sail north from Gaolangbu in Sinhalese to Thanjavur, the capital of the Zhunan Kingdom, which is very close.

    The Tamil Kingdom to the north of Seran Island has long been a vassal state of the Zhunian Kingdom. As soon as the fleet entered the waters of the Tamil Kingdom, there were Tamil warships trying to stop it.  As a result, after seeing the huge sea giant of the Yang family fleet, he hurried away without firing an arrow.

    Yang Yi was not in a hurry this time. He planned to give Zhongnan Country enough time to gather all the available warships and fight a naval battle with him, so as to annihilate the maritime power of Zhongnan Country in one go and prevent him from returning to his country in the future.  Later, the country's unwillingness to give up caused trouble again.

    On the flagship deck.  Yang Yi, Le Tao, Shi Ran and other generals began to discuss the battle plan.

    Shi Ran said: "Sir, if Prolari I does not engage in a decisive battle with us at sea, but adopts harassment tactics, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for us to slow down our speed. The general believes that it is better to adopt a quick battle and a quick decision.  "

    Le Tao held his chin and thought for a while and said: "This possibility does exist, but it is not very likely. Thanjavur is located in the lower reaches of the Cauvery River. It is very close to the coastline. If Prolali I gives up the naval battle, our  With thousands of warships, he can attack his capital directly along the Cauvery River. This must be something Prolali is very happy about."

    Meng Yunshan said: "I agree with General Le's view. Judging from the intelligence we have, Prollari I is a willful person. We have made a clear plan. Before experiencing failure, Prollari I took retreat.  Tactics are unlikely.¡±

    Letao knocked on the Weizhi of Thanjavur on the map and said: "If Prolari I really avoids fighting, our fleet will stop at the mouth of the Cauvery River, and then the infantry will land and attack the city of Thanjavur.  . I don¡¯t believe it, Prolari I doesn¡¯t even want the capital anymore.¡±

    Shi Ran said: "If we want to fight ashore, the Zhunian Kingdom has more than 40,000 domesticated war elephants and a military strength of hundreds of thousands. This should not be underestimated."

    "Forty thousand war elephants." Yang Yi burst out laughing after hearing this, "I hope Prolari I will send all 40,000 war elephants up at once, hahaha, you don't have to think so much, just kill them."

    Seeing that Yang Yi spoke easily, Le Tao and others also looked relaxed. The Zhunian country has hundreds of thousands of troops, which is good. However, due to its continuous expansion and enmity with neighboring countries over the past century, hundreds of thousands of troops have to be stationed at the border. How can they stay in the country?  There are only tens of thousands of people in the capital area at most.

    In addition, Zhunian Kingdom and Srivijaya have a common weakness. Their capitals are close to the seaside, and there are rivers that can lead directly to the city.

    Napoleon said that justice only comes from cannon fireWithin the range.  It is simply unreasonable for us to bring gunboats to the city and bombard them, but we still cannot win.

    After a day's sailing, the fleet entered the Mannar Sea, which is the northern part of Seran Island. From a distance, you can see a large mangrove forest on the seashore. The scenery is very beautiful. Qing Niang and others saw trees growing in the sea for the first time and couldn't help but feel  Daqi.

    "Brother Yang, why do these trees grow in the sea? It's so strange." Qing Niang ran over and pulled Yang Yi to the side of the boat, pointing to the mangroves on the coast and asked.

    "Qing Niang, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, so I want to take you out to see it." Yang Yi looked indifferent.

    "Don't ordinary trees die if they are soaked in water for a long time? Brother Yang, please tell me why these trees can grow in the sea." Qing Niang looked at him eagerly with her pair of crescent moons fluttering.  Adela and Zhao Qian were almost the same, waiting for his answer.

    "You want to know?" Yang Yi glanced at them with a smile, and then tapped his cheek with his hand.

    "Don't even think about it! Do you want to say it?" Qing Niang immediately made a fierce look and started to use force.  It's just that she is such a picturesque person, no matter how much she pretends to be fierce, it just makes people feel more cute.

    But someone was so careless that he rolled his eyes and fainted immediately, leaning towards Adela. Adela didn't dare to let him really fall, so she had to hug him, holding a pair of breasts against her.  His back was soft.

    Qing Niang refused to obey, and she went up and twisted in a coquettish manner.

    I will endure.  I endure it, I endure it.  Yang Yi finally held back and refused to open his eyes.  Anyway, Qing Niang can't really destroy the "flower".

    "Huh, Brother Yang is the most scoundrel." Qing Niang had no choice but to give him a quick tap on his cheek with her wet lips.  Yang Yi closed his eyes and coughed twice, and soon he was tapped by two dragonflies on his cheek.

    ¡°Well, that¡¯s pretty much it. He ¡°woke up¡± with satisfaction, and saw that the faces of the three girls had a faint blush, like the beauty of peach blossoms, when they saw him.  Qing Niang began to act "fierce" again.

    "Well, this kind of mangrove likes salt and only grows in the intertidal zone. The intertidal zone refers to the beach area that is submerged by sea water at high tide and exposed at low tide. The mangrove has many characteristics. Its roots  They are respiratory roots and pillar roots. Respiratory roots refer to those tree roots that grow upward. When the tide rises, these respiratory roots can be exposed on the water surface, helping the forest to exchange gases, so they are not afraid of flooding."

    "Wait a minute. Brother Yang, do the woods also need to breathe?"

    "Of course, both animals and plants need to breathe. There is another special thing about this kind of mangrove. Its seeds can germinate in the fruits on the tree and grow into saplings, and then break away from the mother plant and fall into the mud.  They can grow in medium and long periods of time. This is something that no other tree on land can do;

    The trees in mangroves are usually shorter.  However, the semi-mangroves accompanying the edges are very tall, such as hibiscus, silver-leaf trees, etc.  These trees are also salt-tolerant and have hard wood, making them good materials for shipbuilding and furniture.  "

    "Brother Yang, wait a minute, I want to write it down." Qing Niang said, picked up her skirt and ran back to the cabin.

    "Don't worry, Qing Niang, that's all I know, it's gone."

    "You must remember that, so as not to forget it later." Qing Niang's graceful figure quickly disappeared into the cabin, leaving only the faint sound. Princess Qin also entered the cabin to see Qing Niang writing a book.

    Only Adela can¡¯t leave, and someone is still in her arms.

    Yang Yi straightened up and held her over with his backhand, showing her affection and affection. The sea breeze was filled with her intoxicating body fragrance, and the fluttering skirt was like a wisp of light clouds.

    Adela was tired in his arms and asked softly: "Sir, there are so many beauties in the Sinhalese palace, have you not fallen in love with any of them?"

    Yang Yi pinched her chin and slowly chanted: "Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to deal with, except for Wushan, it was not cloud."

    "whee"

    "Adela, you are also a bad example, and you dare to make fun of me."

    "No, although the people here are a little darker, there are indeed beauties in the palace."

    There is indeed no shortage of beauties in India, but

    "You dare to say you don't have it?" Yang Yi's palm holding her small waist slid down, and the pert and fragrant buttocks immediately fell into his hands. For a while, they were warm and fragrant, soft and elastic.

    "Master, don't"

    "Nothing else?"

    "Don't stay here." Adela's voice was as thin as a mosquito's whisper, her cheeks were as red as drunkenness, and the intoxicating body fragrance on her body became stronger and stronger.

    "Hahaha"

    The next morning, the mist had not completely dissipated, and the ship??Not long after entering the Palk Strait between the southern tip of India and Seran Island, we saw densely packed warships appearing in front, with sails looming in the confusing white mist.

    On the Yang family fleet, the duty officer Huang Feng immediately issued the order to prepare for battle. The roaring drums suddenly resounded through the sky. The sailors on each ship shouted loudly and hurried to their fighting posts. The scene looked a bit chaotic.  .

    Yang Yi and Le Ran rushed into the Qiban command room almost at the same time.

    "What's going on? Didn't we send a Sinhalese boat ahead to explore the way? Why couldn't we detect the enemy's fleet in advance?" Yang Yi asked directly.

    "My lord, the fog has gotten thicker just now. I'm afraid that the small boat exploring the way ahead will be surrounded by enemies without knowing it."

    Yang Yi said nothing more and immediately began to command the fleet to outline the battle formation.

    The navy of Zhunian Kingdom is not bad. They have taken advantage of the right time and place. The fog will not dissipate for a while, which is naturally more beneficial to the enemy with small boats and strong maneuverability. Moreover, the Palk Strait is also an excellent ambush location.
