Chapter 1184 The resilient Tianzhu(1/2)
Kanchipuram City.
After a war, the whole city became much more depressed.
The originally prosperous capital has now been burned out by several fires.
The Panava dynasty has been officially overthrown by the Ansello and Mital coalition.
Although the Panava dynasty is only one of the many kingdoms in India, it occupies a rich land in the southeast and has a relatively large influence.
"Mittal, you and I use Kanchipuram as the boundary. The southern region was established by me, and the northern region was established by you. As for this Kanchipuram city, we handed it over to the Shunfeng Escort Agency for management as agreed. What do you think?"
During the process of overthrowing the Pavana dynasty, both the Ansello and the Mital family grew and grew, and the strength of the two sides was not much different.
The most important thing is that they all have close ties with the Tang Dynasty.
India is very large, and the territory occupied by the Anseromitar coalition forces is less than one-tenth of that of the entire India.
As a merchant, they naturally had no short-sighted vision. They had just overthrew the Panava dynasty and began to fight in the internal strife.
"No problem. Although the Panava Dynasty was overthrown by us, their remnants still occupy a large area in the west. If we fight first, we might turn them over at that time."
Mittal felt very happy that he could have a kingdom.
He did not want to occupy the entire Tianzhu, nor did he dare to have such an idea.
In history, no one has truly realized the unification of India.
Just like now, the two of them divide the territory, and everyone is united in the outside world to clean up some small tribes and small kingdoms around them. That's all.
After working hard for a year, it is time to start enjoying life.
As the main distribution center for goods between Tianzhu and the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Tang people continue to come to Kanchipuran City to do business, they can quickly earn more money, bribe and attract more people to do their own business.
"During this period, the people responsible for our equipment sales are all the maritime maritimes in Qiwang Port. I plan to go to Qiwang Port in person, explain our plans to them, and try to get their support. Otherwise, if we cannot master the exclusive trade in goods, we will suffer a lot."
Ansello now has a further understanding of the strength of the Tang Dynasty.
Whether it is the sharp swords, exquisite white sugar, salt, or spices transported from Southeast Asia, there is a very good market in India.
Due to the influence of the war, most of the goods originally traded in Kanchipuram were transferred to Qiwang Port.
This means that there are more merchants from other kingdoms who can get goods from Qiwang Port.
This is very unfavorable for Ansello and Mital.
"Yes, I suggest you set out tomorrow! Let's go there together!"
Mital was also worried that Ansello and the people from Qiwanggang would reach a private agreement by then, so he thought it would be better for everyone to go there together.
...
"The four princes, Anthello and Mitale coalition have only temporarily gained the upper hand, and we still have a chance to fight back. Although our troops are not as strong as theirs now, it is because the swords are not good enough and have had a great impact during combat.
Actually, I have an idea that they can cooperate with the Tang Dynasty and buy swords from the Tang people, so can we do it."
Shamoto, with a group of defeated generals, regained his foothold in a city in the western part of the Panava dynasty.
At this time, we naturally have to start thinking about what to do in the future.
As the actual ruler of the Panawa Dynasty today, the Four Princes Shamoto is still somewhat capable.
"The Tangren cooperated very closely with Mital and Ansello. I heard that many swords were transported directly from the Qiwang Port in the south to Kanchipuram City. Will they be willing to sell them to us?"
Shamoto used to look down on the Tang people who did business in the Panawa Dynasty, but now he found that he seemed a little overwhelmed.
But although I was unwilling to admit it, the Tang people's swords were much better than those of Tianzhu, which is a fact.
During the battle between the two armies, when the Tianzhu people's own weapons collided with the weapons purchased by the Tang people, they often either knocked off one piece or broke directly.
How can I fight this battle?
Originally, the lives of the Indians were relatively comfortable, and fewer people were willing to rise up and wanted to die for some illusory things.
Now there is an excuse to be open and upright, and everyone runs faster than anyone else when they are fighting.
This is why Mital and Ansello were able to overthrow the Panava dynasty in just one year.
After all, this is also a dynasty with a history of more than 100 years.
"Will, the Tang people are definitely willing. There is no reason why they are unwilling to sell swords to us? Tianzhu is very far away from the Tang Dynasty. Although the sea route is relatively smooth, it will take two months for the fastest sea ship to come from the south of the Tang Dynasty to our Tianzhu.
What are they going to India so far away? They are not trying to make money from us. The gold in China will not generate any value in the house, either in temples or in the homes of some people. Wouldn't it be better for us to use this gold to exchange swords and other supplies from the Tang people?"
As a loyal servant of Shamoto, A San felt that his future had come.
The Panava Dynasty is now in power by Shamoto, the four princes. Many of the ministers in the court lost their lives during the war or became prisoners of the Anseromitar coalition.
In this way, you have an opportunity.
It seems nothing strange to become a minister of the Panava dynasty in the future?
I have been a pariah for several lifetimes, but in fact I have turned over.
"Can the Tang people really sell swords to us? Are they not afraid of offending Ansello and Mital?"
Shamoto was obviously already moved.
Although most of the land is occupied, if you continue to go west, Shamoto will still have confidence in bullying other kingdoms.
It was like the Hu people on the northern grassland could not survive, and then kept going west, but instead welcomed a new life again.
"Why should I be afraid? If I were a Tangren, I would not want the Anselomite coalition to be too strong, because that would affect the Tangren's status on their side, and even their dependence on the Tangren would be further reduced.
If we take the initiative to find Datang at this time, they will definitely be willing to cooperate with us. It is not surprising that they even give priority to the materials planned to be sold to the Anseromitar coalition to us."
"Okay! Since you said that, thank you for your hard work. Once you succeed, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Shamoto finally made up his mind.
Anyway, I failed and I didn’t lose much.
But if it succeeds, it will not only weaken the strength of the Ansellomite coalition, but also strengthen its equipment and confidence.
As one goes up and down, even if the previous territory cannot be regained, at least it is no problem to stabilize the situation.
Let’s fight slowly behind.
...
"Admiral Yang, if the second brother agrees to establish a Maritime Division in the Port of Qi Wang, you will be the Admiral of Maritime Investment here?"
In the King of Qi Port, Yang Qiwa is now a guest of honor for Li You.
Although after two years of development, Li You also has a strong armed force, the number of personnel is limited after all.
At present, the security issues of Qiwang Port still rely more on the Navy in Puluo.
"I obey His Highness the King of Chu's orders. However, the King of Qi's port guards the important transportation routes between the East and the West, and His Highness the King of Chu must attach great importance to it. No matter who serves as the admiral of the maritime ship, the navy team here will be focused on construction, and the threats coming from the sea will become smaller and smaller."
Yang Qiwa has been spending more time in Qiwanggang recently than in Puluo.
Because the current development trend of the Tang Dynasty is to expand westward.
And Qiwang Port is a bridgehead.
All ships that continue westward must pass here.
And the sea ships coming from the west are basically replenished here.
So it has become a very important existence here.
Just as we were about to talk about the importance of ports, Puluo Zhong and Qi Wang Port should be the two most important ports of the Tang Dynasty overseas.
Since the status is so important, various resources are naturally tilted.
Just like cement, this year a cement workshop was set up in Qiwanggang to meet local construction needs.
Originally, Yang Qiwa wanted to propose to set up an iron smelting workshop here, but due to the need for technical confidentiality, it was not approved in the end.
After all, cement is mainly used for construction purposes. Even if the technology is leaked, it will have very limited harm to the Tang Dynasty and even no harm.
But the iron smelting technology is different.
Once you have excellent stainless steel, the first thing that comes to mind is to make weapons.
"I heard that the situation in the Panawa Dynasty has become clearer. Will the merchants go directly to Kanchipuran City and no longer trade in Qiwang Port?"
Li You still understands the reason behind the fact that King Kong of Qi has been able to rise in just two years.
Once the sugar trading center is transferred to Kanchipuram, the impact on Qiwang Port will be great.
"Although we supported Ansello and Mital there to cause trouble, they were all natives of India after all, and we could not really trust them. We were just using each other's relationship. Even if our business would be able to achieve the city of Kanchipuram, the status of Qiwang Port would not be greatly affected.
This is our Tang Dynasty's base camp in the Atlantic, and all the goods and personnel will be transferred here. We provide fixed routes to all maritime merchants, and they are all on this way. They don't have to venture to explore new routes."
Yang Qiwa is very clear about Li Kuan’s positioning of King Gang.
In the next few decades, the conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi Empire in the Atlantic will definitely become more and more intense, and it is not so easy to defeat the powerful Dashi Empire.
After all, the Tang Dynasty fought long distances, and neither the right time, place nor the people had the advantage.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty's current influence in India was only limited to the scope of the Panawa Dynasty.
The entire Tianzhu area is vast and is no smaller than the area of the Tang Dynasty.
