Lu Ning and his warships were moving forward, and Lu Ning continued to add foreign languages ​​to Mi Tian and Darwin. Now Lu Ning can basically communicate with them in a simple way. Through the exchanges with Darwin, Lu Ning admired the power of the Roman Empire and was also shocked by the scientific and technological level of Rome. They have made great achievements in glass manufacturing, construction level, weapons manufacturing, smelting technology, urban planning, urban drainage, medical level, sculpture art, painting art, machinery manufacturing and other aspects.

After more than twenty days of sailing, Lu Ning and the others finally saw the land again, which made everyone very excited. After so many days of drifting, even Lu Ning couldn't help but cheer loudly. Guo Jia had basically escaped the trouble of seasickness and still felt like he had survived the disaster. Seeing the land also made Guo Jia, a scholar who was smiling, shouting loudly. This is a rare scene.

After Lu Ning and his friends arrived at the Yichengbuguo (Sri Lanka), the people on the other side patrolling warships whispered flags and refused to let the dock. Lu Ning asked Mi Tian to command the fleet to stop first, and asked Zhou Tai to be careful of the opponent's sneak attacks, and asked the soldiers to prepare for battle. This is overseas, Lu Ning and the others must not make mistakes. Any mistakes will make Lu Ning and the others die without a place to die. In China, Lu Ning and the others still have room for remedies and mediation, but there is no way to do this.

After a while, an officer on the other side's warship climbed onto Lu Ning's command ship Jinyang. Just when he was surprised by the hugeness of Lu Ning's command ship, the soldiers on Lu Ning's warship, Guo Jia, Dian Wei and others were also attracted by the foreign dress on the officer. The officer was not wearing the armor that everyone was familiar with, but was just surrounded by a small piece of linen cloth and tied tightly with a belt. He was wearing a leather armor made of skins of unknown animals, and his belly was exposed. Of course, this dress was very different from the dress of Lu Ning and his soldiers. Not to mention that the soldiers had never seen it, even Lu Ning, a later generation, had only seen similar dresses on movies and TV. It was the first time he had seen them with his own eyes.

In fact, this is also normal. Yichengbuguo is located at the equator. Although there is sea breeze blowing from time to time, the temperature is still extremely hot. This is impossible for ancient people to understand these common senses, and they did not know that the equator is the hottest place on the earth. The ancients would have known these common senses. Due to the different geographical environment, the local clothing is of course very different from our Central Plains. In addition, the current Yichengbuguo has a low productivity level and is still in a not very developed stage. It is probably similar to the productivity level in our Warring States Period.

After seeing the outfit of the officers of Chengbuguo, Zhou Tai felt even more contempt. This is the official army of Chengbuguo? The equipment on his body is not as good as the ones under my water bandits? From this we can see that this place is so poor that it is so poor. When Lu Ning saw Zhou Tai's appearance, he immediately said to him: "Youping, you should pay more attention to the situation of Chengbuguo. In the future, you will lead a large army to conquer the conquest here."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhou Tai looked at Lu Ning and asked Lu Ning in a low voice: "Lord, are you really sure you want to conquer this place? This place is so poor and backward. What's the use of us spending a lot of effort to conquer it? It's good if we don't accompany our old capital. It's nearly ten thousand miles away from our great man, and it's not easy to manage even if it conquers."

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and pointed his right hand at the north and said, "There is land not far from this place. It is an extremely large land. It is called the Deccan Plateau area. It is a peninsula terrain. The Deccan Gao area has a very rich high-quality iron ore resources. It is the best thing. Its storage capacity is more than the entire Han Dynasty. There are countless tribes living in the Deccan Gao area, and four of them have formed a country, namely the Huangzhi Kingdom, etc. They have a large population, and the entire Deccan Gao area should have it.

Four or five million people, and their military strength has reached nearly one million. If we want to own those iron mines, we must conquer the Decangao area, but it is not easy to conquer it. We must first establish a transit base and then use troops to the Decangao area. In this way, our army's losses will be reduced and it will be much easier to conquer. Chengbuguo is one of the best transit stations for our army. Once our army controls the many islands around Yechengbuguo and the surrounding areas, then we will gain a foothold in this ocean."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Guo Jia looked around with his glasses and said, "My lord is right. This place is indeed very important to our army. After we control this place, we can place a powerful navy here. And this place can also accommodate victims and refugees. Through our governance, the output on the island is definitely enough to meet the military's expenses. The most important thing is that the geographical location is too important, a bit like the nail laid by our army in the Jiangnan area, which is the naval base of Ruxuwu Wharf. With this nail in our army, we have the ability to conquer anywhere around. Of course, this place will also be the defense depth of the territory security of our Han Dynasty, which is the second defense line or the outer defense line."

At this time, the officer who had already Cheng Buguo came up, and of course Mi Tian would negotiate. After a brief exchange, Mi Tian returned to Lu Ning and said, "Young Master, the other party claimed to be the defending force of Cheng Buguo. After seeing our warship, he immediately came out to inspect and patrol. I had already told the officer that we needed to dock supplies. The other party replied that he could lead the way and lead us to the nearest dock for supply and trade."

After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Since the other party is so reasonable, it saves us a lot of trouble, so let him lead the way. However, our soldiers cannot be careless, and they must be prepared for combat and should be at any time for unexpected events."

Mi Tian replied: "It's the young master."

Mi Tian happened to be li Tian, ​​and Lu Ning called him again and said, "Mi Tian, ​​you can tear a piece of silk to the little officer. Since we are merchant ships, don't look stingy. Of course, if you say that, with his figure and outfit, he probably won't use much silk material."

After hearing the words from Lu Ning, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, Mi Tian, ​​Wei Yan and his "Yeye" guards and others burst into laughter. Even Guo Jia, who had always been steady, couldn't help laughing, shaking his head while laughing. The officer of Cheng Buguo suddenly laughed loudly when he saw Lu Ning and the others laughing, but he was confused for a moment. He didn't know what Lu Ning and the others were laughing, so he had to stand there stupidly and watch the people around him laughing.
