After Yang Lie and Yang Jiu's fleet left Yanzhou, they soon arrived at the capital of Linyi Kingdom. Linyi Kingdom, also known as Chameng Kingdom, but they generally called themselves Zhan Po. Linyi Kingdom was originally named Indra Bulu, but the Han people thought this name was too complicated, so they called the city name and Linyi City.

Linyi City is built on the sea and is a very important port. Because Linyi happens to be located on the Maritime Silk Road, Linyi City is also an important port on the Maritime Silk Road. Generally, ships on this route from the Tang Dynasty to pass through the Malacca Strait and then arrive at India will be moored in Linyi City. Therefore, with the advantages of the port city, Linyi City has developed very rapidly and has now become the largest city on the Indochina Peninsula.

When Yang Lie and his fleet arrived at the port of Linyicheng, it was the afternoon, which was the time when the number of ships entering the port was the most. In addition, the officials in Linyicheng were in poor quality and there was no order in organizing the fleet to enter the port, which led to the port being often blocked, which caused many ships to complain and had a bad temper or even started to scold them directly. Unfortunately, there was no way to scold them anymore. Linyi was originally a small country, and its personnel quality was not comparable to that of a big country like the Tang Dynasty, so this situation could only wait.

However, Yang Lie and his fleet shouldered a very special mission, and there were also people in Linyi who were able to meet them, so after their fleet arrived, officials from Linyi immediately came to greet them by boat and personally led them to a military port next to them.

As a sea-side country, Linyi has also put a lot of efforts in the construction of the navy, for example, there are thousands of warships stationed in the military port outside Linyi City, with a total number of more than 30,000. This is undoubtedly an amazing achievement for a small country like Linyi.

However, it is worth mentioning that the shipbuilding technology of Linyi Kingdom was very backward compared to the Tang Dynasty, and even large ships could not be built. Even warships were small boats that could only carry dozens of warships. Not to mention the warships in Li Yan's hands, even some armed merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty were much stronger than those of Linyi Kingdom's warships.

The people of Linyi also knew about this situation, so they always wanted to obtain the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty, and even repeatedly lured the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to open shipyards in Linyi. Unfortunately, Li Yan had already blocked shipbuilding technology. He led the Cabin Design Academy to prohibit the merchants of the Tang Dynasty from opening shipyards outside and implement technical blockades on coastal countries. It is precisely because of this that the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty was unique, at least in a short period of time, and there was no need to worry that any other country's shipbuilding technology would surpass them.

Yang Jiu was sent by Wu Meiniang to contact Mahamandou. His fleet was filled with weapons from the Tang Dynasty. However, these weapons have always been contraband and are not allowed to be exported at any port. Li Yan did not want these weapons to have too much relationship with him, so he finally smuggled out of Yanzhou. This is not only hidden enough, but also clears his relationship.

Mahamandhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadha

This is not the first time Yang Jiu has come to Linyi. He has met Mahamandha Duo several times before, so when the other party saw Yang Jiu who had just walked off the boat, he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and said, "Mr. Yang has come from afar. It's really hard. I have asked someone to set up a banquet in the mansion to welcome Mr. Yang!"

When Yang Jiu saw Mahamandhagadu, he laughed and said, "You are polite, but we are still very important. There are five thousand pairs of armor and weapons on the ship. You may as well send someone to count them first and then equip them as soon as possible to avoid delaying major events!"

Although Mahamandhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhadhad

At that time, Mahamandora was not polite, and immediately sent his confidants to board the ship, and then counted the armor and weapons that Yang Jiu had sent. These weapons were obtained by Yang Jiu through informal channels, and were old-style armor replaced by the Tang army. However, although they were old-style, they were quite intact. At least for Linyi's army, they were quite excellent equipment.

Five thousand sets of armor and weapons were counted quickly. These equipment were used by Mahamandora to rebel alone, and this was also a part of Wu Meiniang's plan, so there was naturally no problem with the equipment. Even after the inventory, Yang Jiu even asked someone to carry out ten large boxes and then open them.

"This... this... is it the legendary firearm?" When Mahamandhaga Duo saw the things in the box, he was excited and trembled all over and pointed to the things in the box. He saw that the ten large boxes were divided into two types, two of which were relatively slender boxes, and the other eight boxes contained iron lumps the size of sweet potatoes. These two things were the blasting tubes and grenades that Li Yan had tried for the first time.

Seeing the other party's excited look, Yang Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, these two are firearms. The reason why my Tang army is invincible is because of the power of this firearm. I have put a lot of effort into helping Lord Maha get these two things!"

Although the smuggling merchants are bold and can indeed get some contraband, it is a dream to get firearms. This is because not all Tang army can equip firearms, and even Tang army equipped with firearms has extremely strict management systems. It is difficult to get firearms from the army.

Of course, although it is difficult to get a firearm, it is not without a chance. However, the main reason why no one dares to smuggle firearms is that the Tang Dynasty also divided the charges of smuggling into numbers. For example, smuggling goods such as silk is just a crime of exile, but smuggling firearms is an unforgivable crime to exterminate the three clans. In addition, the profits of smuggling are originally huge, so instead of risking the serious crime of smuggling firearms to destroy the three clans, it is better to smuggle more other commodities to be safe. Even if the matter is revealed, they can save their lives.

It is also under such circumstances that there are almost no one who dares to smuggle firearms. Therefore, although countries around the Tang Dynasty have long heard of the sharp reputation of firearms, they have no chance to see them with their own eyes. Unless they have a war with the Tang Dynasty, they can only learn about firearms from the words and pictures in newspapers and magazines circulating from the Tang Dynasty.

When Yang Lie, who was pretending to be an old servant, was laughing in his heart when he heard Yang Jiu fooling people there. The Tang army was invincible, so how could it rely on a small firearm? Although the role of firearms has been increasingly valued in the past two years, when the Tang Dynasty had no firearms in the past, wasn’t it still fighting the Turks and Tubo?

Although Mahamandhagadu knew that the Tang army was not only because of firearms, it was indeed a great power when exterminated Goguryeo. In addition, when Li Yan attacked Japan, firearms also played a key role, so people have long exaggerated the role of firearms infinitely. Even if a country like Mahamandhagadudu was actually in power, they were influenced by the theory of invincibility of firearms, they were so excited when they saw the firearms taken out by Yang Jiu.

However, Mahamandhadha is a great man after all, and soon stabilized his emotions. Then he bowed to Yang Jiushen and said, "Thank you for your help. If a great thing can be accomplished, I will repay you for your great kindness in the future. As for the conditions you have put forward before, I will definitely keep my promise!"

Seeing Mahamandouga solemnly assuring himself, Yang Jiu did not doubt the other party's sincerity, but he knew very well that if the other party was really put on the throne of Linyi, his sincerity today would soon fade. After all, many of the conditions he proposed were achieved at the expense of Linyi's interests. When Mahamandouga controlled Linyi alone, with his personality, he would definitely not be willing to see that his own interests were taken away by others. Even if he did not dare to turn against him openly, there would definitely be small movements in secret, and this would be an enemy that would be more difficult to deal with than the current King of Linyi.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Jiu praised the other party on the surface, but in fact he was sneering in his heart. At the same time, he also looked at Yang Lie from the corner of his eyes. After the reorganization of the clean guard in Yang Lie, he had become a very special force, and this time he might have to use them to take action.

When Mahamandora Duo received the weapons and armor sent by Yang Jiu, his confidence in his heart expanded again. At the same time, he was very enthusiastic about Yang Jiu, a very loyal friend. He personally welcomed him to Linyi City and held a banquet in the mansion to entertain him. Yang Lie and other people on the ship also got off the boat together. As Yang Jiu's entourage, they were temporarily arranged by Mahamandora Duo to live in his mansion.

When Yang Jiu came to Linyi this time, in addition to sending weapons to Mahamandora, he would also participate in the other party's rebellion throughout the whole process and give him advice. Mahamandora has long believed in Yang Jiu. After all, the other party has already put a lot of heavy bets on him, and there is no reason to hope that he will fail.
