Of course, Ji Yi was unwilling to send troops to Aceh for the Three Buddhas.

Because the South China colonial movement initiated by him and Wu Haogu was fundamentally a commercial activity. Except for the very few warships and troops provided by the Coastal Maritime Control Department, most of the warships and personnel were raised by Wu Haogu and Ji Yi from investors.

Investors need to make money, and the way to get satisfactory returns is to participate in the road-blocking business of Sanfoqi Strait.

There is nothing in the world that can make money faster than a road-blocking career!

Now that the "Nanxin Island Toll Station" has been obtained, the rest is naturally to restore the normal traffic order of the Sanfoqi Strait as soon as possible. If Ji Yi and the Pu family start war endlessly in the Sanfoqi Strait, how can merchant ships pass? Without merchant ships, who will charge to the Nanxin Island Toll Station?

Moreover, the "Nanxin Island Toll Station" itself has room for development and construction, which can completely copy Jiehe Commercial City and develop into a trading center city where talents, capital and goods gather.

The profit here is no less than simply collecting tolls.

To develop Nanxin Island as soon as possible, the participation of Tianfang Cultivate Maritime Merchants is indispensable. After all, the merchant ships passing through the Sanfoqi Strait are mainly based on Tianfang Cultivate Maritime Merchants.

If Ji Yi really wanted to fight a full-scale war with the Tianfang Cultivator on the Sanfoqi Strait, it would be equivalent to forcing all the Tianfang Cultivator on the side of the Pu family... Then Hu Yanqing's more than thirty warships are really not big enough. In fact, the Tianfang Cultivator's warships are not without any advantages. Although the Song-style warships are relatively strong, they have an overwhelming advantage in jumping gang battles. However, the Tianfang Cultivator's warships are huge (it is only a numerical advantage in the Sanfoqi Strait), and they are fast and flexible.

Therefore, once the two sides start a war, it will inevitably be long and lasting!

In addition, there is another reason that Ji Yi is unwilling to start a full-scale war with the Tianfang Cult Maritime Merchant, that is, he still has to go to Baghdad to meet the Caliph!

If the fight really starts, how else can he go to Baghdad? The west of the Sanfoqi Strait is the power of the Tianfang Sect maritime merchants! Can he fight all the way?

So after obtaining the approval of the leather socks, Sayed Wansisheng and Mo Niangzi took the Arabic galleon "Aladdin" to the Port of Aceh in the northwest of Sumatra to carry out the "recruitment" mission.

That's right, it was to recruit the Arab pirates who represented the Song Dynasty's official Zhao Ji to recruit the Arab pirates entrenched in Aceh Port and appointed Pu Moumou as the Aceh inspector under the jurisdiction of the Coastal Maritime Division of the Song Dynasty!

"Sai, Sayed, aren't you kidding me? Da Song wants to enthrone me as the Aceh inspector?"

In Aceh Harbor, in a white, beautifully decorated Tianfang Sect-style palace, Pu Abu respectfully looked at Sayed Wan Sisheng, wearing the green official uniform of the Song Dynasty, and didn't know what to say.

Yesterday he was still playing the name of Sayed Wan Sisheng in this palace and inciting a group of Tianfang Cult merchants to war of gods! Now Wan Sisheng is wearing a Song Dynasty official uniform to recruit people...

Of course, his effect of inciting the Battle of Gods was not very good. After all, the opponent of the Battle of Gods was the Song Dynasty! Everyone was going to do business with the Song Dynasty, how could the war start? After the war starts, can the transaction continue?

Moreover, the "sea power" of Arab merchants in the Indian Ocean is not particularly reliable. Although they have a great advantage at sea, they exist in the form of merchants and pirates after all. They did not form a country to form a navy. Moreover, in the Bay of Bengal, west of the Sanfoqi Strait, they were also under pressure from the Zhulu Kingdom, the kingdom of the Brahman maritime power. When they went to war with the Song Dynasty, they would probably not be merchants and pirates in the future, but pure pirates...

Besides, everyone knows more or less the experience of the Pu family naval army in the Battle of Puluo Zhongdao.

The water army of the Song people had black magic! They had black wizards, fireball techniques, demon boys, and big iron men... By the way, they also had the terrifying Roman fire!

How can you beat such an enemy?

Inside Aceh's palace, Sayed Wanmud touched his white beard and asked Pu Abu with a smile, "Abu, don't you really have to consider the Pu family's children in Guangzhou? If you are not recruited, then they will be the family of thieves!

In addition, you are now just a defeated general under the Song Navy! Dozens of ships beat others but failed to take down a single ship, and they also lost more than ten warships... Now that they can occupy Aceh, what else can they be dissatisfied with being the inspector of Song State? Do you still want the Caliph to seal an emir?"

Of course, Pu Abu didn't care about the Pu family in Guangzhou. Those people were not Pu Abu's close relatives, but just brothers, nephews and uncles in the cousin's room. It had nothing to do with Abu if they were not dead.

But in what name he ruled Aceh is a problem!

He was neither Said nor Sharif, nor a great imam. So not long after he fled to Aceh, he sent his cousin Pu Ali to Baghdad with gifts and asked the Caliph for Emir.

However, if it can be sealed, Pu Abu was not sure that there were too many Tianfang Sect maritime merchants doing East-West trade, and some of them were not weaker than the Pu family. Why did the Pu family be the Emir?

There are so many benefits involved in this!

Pu Abu was silent for a moment, looked at Wan Sisheng, who was respectful and looked at Mori, who was sitting next to Wan Sisheng. This woman was obviously a pagan, and she followed Said into her palace without wearing a headscarf, and Said was very respectful to her.

Seeing Pu Abu looking at him, Moli smiled coldly and spoke in a stiff Arabic, "Abu, when Said and I arrived, we saw that the Pu family's warships were levying taxes on the passing merchant ships on the sea near Aceh. I want to know, who gave you the power to do this?"

This question made Pu Abu stunned.

He really doesn't have the right to tax past maritime merchants now!

"You are..." Pu Abu asked as he looked at Moli.

Wan Sisheng smiled and introduced: "She is the messenger of the God of Light, the saint of Manichaeism, and he is the person of Ji Yizhi, the envoy of the Song Dynasty."

It was indeed a pagan... Pu Abu took a breath, smiled and bent down, "It turned out to be a saint, lucky to meet, lucky to meet."

Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do! He is Ji Yi's man, and Ji Yi has a fleet of black magic and Roman fire in his hands!

Moli smiled and said, "Abu, the Sanfoqi Strait is neither from you Tianfang Sect nor from our Song Dynasty... Both sides of us are from outside! The truth is that you can occupy a piece of land here, build a port and market, and then take the navigation trade of the Strait into your hands!

As for God’s affairs, the missions of the Song Dynasty went to Baghdad to discuss with the Caliph in person.”

Bai Siwen, who was standing next to him, also said in Arabic, "Abu, actually Ji Zhengzhi knew that you must have sent an envoy to Baghdad to ask for the emir, but that doesn't matter... You can be an emir while being an inspector of the Song Dynasty and then become an official for the Sanfoqi people. The coastal Maritime Control Department of the Song Dynasty will not be in charge of Aceh's affairs. You just need to offer sacrifices on time!"

As soon as he heard that he wanted to offer sacrifices, Pu Abu's brows frowned.

"Sayed, Aladdin, Saint, I wonder how much I, as a patrolman, will pay for a year?"

Said smiled and said, "Not much, not much, just give one hundred thousand taels of gold a year."

One hundred thousand taels of gold are not much! Pu Abu's face wrinkled with distress.

Bai Siwen hurriedly said, "Abu, this money is much less than what your family gave to the Sanfoqi royal court before. Although you can only collect money in Aceh, your family no longer has to maintain so many warships. Is it not enough to have ten or eight ships?"

This is to disarm most of the Pu family!

Although the Pu family naval army suffered a crushing defeat near Puluo Zhongdao, the capital was not lost. The high speed of the Arabian galleys saved the broken fleet. More than 20 warships arrived at the Port of Aceh, which restored the Pu family naval army a little vitality.

However, it is not easy to maintain a naval army of this size. Whether it is the Gulam warriors or ordinary Arabs and Persian sailors, they all have to pay for money. Moreover, the paddling slaves are also very expensive and they need to replenish frequently!

In addition, the training of Guram warriors and sailors and the renewal of warships are also the focus of expenditure.

If we want to maintain a fleet of dozens of warships in the Sanfoqi Strait, the annual expense will not be less than 100,000 taels of gold.

In addition to the fleet's money, the Port of Aceh also needs to spend huge amounts of money to maintain and defend. Unlike Nanxin Island, Aceh is not an isolated island. Therefore, it is necessary to be prepared for attacks launched from land. This requires Pu Abu, the leader of the maritime merchant, to maintain an army. For this reason, he has sent people to India and Persia to hire mercenaries. Considering the climate of Aceh and the flood of plague, the expenses of hiring soldiers will not be cheap!

"Abu," Sayed Wanmud saw that Puabu was still hesitating, and said a little unhappy, "This time you incite the war of gods in my name, is this deceiving believers. If I expose you to believers, can you still gain a foothold in Aceh? Without the protection of believers, how much power can you use? At that time, the Song army would not need to take action. The fleet and soldiers of the Sanfuqi people can take away everything you have in Aceh."

Pu Abu looked at Wan Sisheng in pain, "Said, can you really allow the pagans to rule the Three Buddhas Strait?"

"Abu!" Anger appeared on Wan Sisheng's old face, "Why don't you understand? The Sanfoqi Strait was originally a pagan... Originally, your Pu family didn't even have an inch of land here! But now, you have Aceh! A commercial country belonging to the Pu family can allow all religions, so that merchants of race can freely enter and exit! Why are you not satisfied? What else do you want?"
