Chapter 123 Gift
There were still some problems with King Wulu's control of West Java.
At least, at this time. Crucially, King Xi left his territory or did not show up in his territory for a long time. I don’t know whether it did not attract the attention of King Wulu, or the news did not reach the ears of King Wulu.
When He Xi took all the navy of the Ming Dynasty to hide in a sea area in the northern part of Java Island.
King Wulu's tens of thousands of troops still marched westward slowly at their own pace.
On top of He Xi's mast, looking from a distance, he could see thousands of warships meandering around. Covering the sea for miles. It looks spectacular. This time King Wulu wanted to scare the nobles of West Java without a fight, so he naturally had to publicize his power. The soldiers on all ships were in high spirits and seemed ready to fight at any time.
The army is attracted but not launched, which is more of a deterrent. He got it right. Now the King of the West is newly defeated. I don't dare to argue with it at all.
I hope the King of the West can figure it out on his own and capture him without hesitation.
However, the high-spirited King Wulu didn’t know. Danger slowly spreads in the darkness.
At this moment, suddenly a ship came quickly. This is a small boat with countless oars on both sides, just like a thousand-legged centipede. However, near the equator, where there is insufficient wind, it can run very fast. It couldn't be better for communication.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty also had such a ship, which was called a centipede ship.
It just couldn't go far across the ocean, so I didn't bring it over at all.
He Xi watched the small boat dock with King Wulu's fleet. The hand holding the telescope tightened slightly. According to King Xi's plan, this is the critical moment. Whether he can successfully ambush and kill King Wulu in one battle depends on this time.
------
King Wulu's ship was a very majestic ship, much larger than the ships of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that this ship, like the Ming Dynasty's Fengzhou, is not used for combat. It is used to declare martial law.
This ship is like a palace moved on the sea. It is extremely spacious, and the largest cabin is the cabin of King Wulu. Not so much the cabin. It's better to say it's a palace. Not just a palace, but an extraordinary palace. Gold and silver jewelry are everywhere. There are also many idols of Brahmins.
The splendor is beyond description.
King Wulu sat high on the throne, with a man kneeling below him. Said: "His Majesty the Supreme God King, His Highness the King of the West, is extremely ashamed. He has been waiting for His Majesty in Coconut City for a long time and sent me to deliver gifts."
King Wulu said: "What gift?"
The messenger said: "My king said that everything he had was given by your majesty. Therefore, he took the treasures of the entire Coconut City, loaded them into ten ships, and gave them to your majesty. However, your majesty, because of his long-term love for his son-in-law, let him Leave him a way to survive. Of course, he won’t want Yecheng again. This time, he has offended everyone by raiding Yecheng.”
After hearing this, King Wulu couldn't help laughing and said: "My son-in-law is a smart man. He is really a smart man. Since he has reached this point, how can I not agree, even if it is for my daughter? To save face, I agreed. Let him deliver the gift."
King Wulu was very happy. He understood the subtext of King Xi. These ten ships of gifts were all treasures. And they were all plundered from the West Java nobles by the King of the West himself, from his own subordinates. The King of the West has defeated all his people in West Java for his forgiveness.
In other words, what the King of the West did betrayed the entire West Java aristocratic group.
Traitors are worse than enemies. Even if the future King of the West has no foundation, he will still be King Wulu, or a sharp blade used by the King of East to deal with West Java. In this case, how could King Wulu kill him?
The messenger said: "Yes."
Then someone was sent to wave the flag on the ship to let the fleet come over.
King Wulu was very happy. This time, his goal was accomplished easily. Even if he died, he would still have something to say to all the previous kings. Although Java is still full of hidden dangers, he has finally left this big ship intact in the hands of the children.
What happens in the future is the children's business.
But when King Wulu stood on a high place and leaned on the railing, watching ten large ships approaching slowly, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he said, "What are the treasures my son-in-law gave me?"
The envoy said: "I don't know this, but I think it must be the most precious treasure in Coconut City."
There was an inexplicable smile on King Wulu's face. He said: "Really?" Then he said sharply: "Take it down."
Immediately, Javanese warriors rushed over from both sides and took down the general.
The envoy said, "Your Majesty, what have I done wrong?"
King Wulu said: "There are no more treasures in the world than the seven. Gold, silver, glass, crystal, clam, coral, and amber. These and other are all very heavy. If he built ten ships, he should not With such a light draft, what exactly is on board this ship?”
None of these things are too light. If all ten ships were the same, it would never be possible for them to be so shallow, and at the same time, they would never be so light.
The envoy's heart skipped a beat. Worried that King Wulu would see through.
It's just that this envoy was selected by the King of the West, no, King Ye. He was calm and determined, and King Xi promised to take care of his family. This time, he never thought about going back alive. Therefore. He was still arrogant at this moment.
Said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. There are so few treasures in the world. I admit that my king is a little vain. I am afraid that I will not satisfy His Majesty. So I played some tricks, but his respect for Your Majesty is absolutely not adulterated." Please give your Majesty a clear warning."
King Wulu said: "What you said makes sense."
"But I don't believe it."
Since King Wulu came to the throne, he has fought several counter-insurgency wars. We also fought foreign wars. He is no stranger to war. After all, Nanyang is in such a troubled time. Being the overlord of Nanyang is definitely not something that a good gentleman can do.
Although King Wulu could not find the problem in the envoy's words. But he had a strong intuition. My intuition is that there is something wrong with these ten ships.
King Wulu immediately said: "Stop these ships."
Following King Wulu's order, several ships immediately came forward. These ships seemed to have discovered that they were exposed, and immediately took off their disguises, launched countless oars, avoided the intercepting ships, and directly collided with King Wulu's ship.
King Wulu's ship is very big. It is very heavy, so in this case, it cannot actually turn immediately. Maneuvering is very slow. It was almost a big target, but King Wulu had been on the throne for decades, so he naturally had many loyal guards around him.
Several ships rushed up and collided with these ships.
For a moment, I didn't know what happened. People on these ten boats jumped into the water to escape. Then there was a roar. Ten ships exploded immediately. No, it exploded.
This is the killer move that King Ye and Fang Guan discussed. As long as the boat is ignited against King Wulu’s ship, it will be almost impossible for King Wulu to escape. There will immediately be enough fierce fire oil and various flammable substances. things. It's a fire attack ship.
Obviously, this plan was proposed by Fang Guan. For King Ye, as long as King Wulu dies. The whole situation had turned around for him.
A lot of things are like that.
A person's prestige can be incredibly powerful.
Even the same power can play different roles in the hands of different people.
In the whole of Java, the only one who can make King Coco fear is King Wulu.
However, now the plan failed.
The explosion approached King Wulu's ship. King Wulu watched the explosion at close range, watching the ten ships ignite the surrounding ships, and dozens of ships turned into a sea of fire on the water.
King Wulu's originally happy expression slowly turned dull.
King Wulu looked at the envoy and said, "Is this the gift he gave me?"
When the envoy saw this situation, he knew that he would not survive. Instead, he calmed down and said, "No, please allow me to get up, and I will show you the gift that the king really gave you."
King Wulu laughed angrily and said, "Oh." He waved his hand and asked Zuo Zuo to let go of him and said, "Then I want to take a look."
The envoy then took out a box from his entourage and opened it in front of King Wulu.
