Surfing was actually very simple. As long as you studied it seriously, there was nothing you couldn't learn. These Tang Dynasty soldiers were relatively strong and flexible. If they practiced using surfboards, they could quickly learn.
Ang Lee taught the Tang Dynasty Army soldiers how to use surfboards and asked them to go to the beach to practice and get the feeling of surfing. After all, these people were wearing life jackets, so there should be no danger.
When Ang Lee walked to the beach with King Srifoshi, several Tang Dynasty Army soldiers had already practiced very well. They could even play on the sea. Although they were not very good at it and often fell into the sea, at least they could play. This was enough to prove the function and effect of surfboards.
"See? This is a surfboard. It's not bad, right? "
Ang Lee pointed to a Tang Dynasty Army soldier who was surfing and said with a smile.
"It's just a small piece of wood, but it can really come and go on the sea like flying. It's amazing. Oh no, he fell into the sea."
King Srifoshi was very shocked, but he soon found that the surfing Tang Dynasty Army soldier had fallen into the sea, leaving only the surfboard floating on the sea.
"It's okay. They are all wearing life jackets. They will soon get up and continue to surf in the sea."
Ang Lee said indifferently.
Sure enough, the Tang Dynasty Army soldier who fell into the sea quickly got up and continued to practice surfing against the waves on his surfboard.
"It looks a little dangerous!"
King Srifoshi said.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "It is a little dangerous, but under normal circumstances, as long as they wear life jackets, there won't be too much of a problem. Also, these soldiers are surfing for the first time and haven't fully mastered the skills of surfing. If they had mastered the skills of surfing, they wouldn't have fallen into the sea so easily."
The waves in front of them were still relatively small. For a skilled surfer, surfing in such small waves would not pose any danger. Only when facing strong winds and waves would there be a certain degree of danger.
"Haha! It's really not bad. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xiao Wang wouldn't have dared to believe that a small wooden board could allow people to come and go freely in the sea. It's really too amazing. There's one thing I need to teach my soldiers. "
King Srifoshi was quite fond of surfing. He felt that it was a great experience.
"Alright, that's not a problem. Why don't we play it ourselves?"
When Ang Lee saw the soldiers surfing happily, he also wanted to try it himself.
"The waves have suddenly become bigger. Will it be dangerous?"
King Srivijaya was worried about security.
Ang Lee knew how to surf in his previous life, so as long as he was a little familiar with it, he could control it well. With the protection of the life jacket, there was no need to worry about safety, so he could give it a try.
"Such a small wave is nothing. If Your Majesty is afraid, then just watch from the shore! This official must go down and give it a try, haha! "
Ang Lee waved his hand and asked one of the soldiers to come back. It was his turn to surf.
After putting on the life jacket, Ang Lee smiled at King Srivijaya. He stood on the top of the surfboard and started surfing.
As he still had the memories of his previous life, Ang Lee could feel it when he stood on the surfboard. Soon, he could operate the surfboard smoothly and run back and forth in the sea.
The other soldiers were surfing according to Ang Lee's description. Naturally, they weren't familiar with many techniques, so there were situations where they would fall into the sea from time to time. However, Ang Lee had the memories of his previous life as a foundation, so he only needed to practice a little to be able to do it the best. No one could compare to him.
Sure enough, after a few swings, Ang Lee found the best feeling of surfing. He kept accelerating in the sea. He could even make a 360-degree rotation in the air with the help of the rolling waves and continue to speed up surfing.
Spinning in the air without falling into the sea was a technique that only Ang Lee had mastered so far. The others were still in the initial stage of practicing.
Ang Lee was addicted to surfing. The more he played, the faster he became. After playing in the sea for at least half an hour, he returned to the shore with satisfaction and looked at King Srivijaya proudly.
"That's amazing. Assistant Minister Li's surfing skills are far better than those soldiers. He's really amazing. Xiao Wang is very impressed. In the future, Xiao Wang will learn to surf too. I'll definitely master it in three to five months."
King Srivijaya said happily.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "Alright! Now we should return to the Royal City. I'll leave Srivijaya tomorrow and head to Khaling Country. "
"Alright, then we'll return to the Royal City. I'll leave fifty people to guard here until all the pirates are eliminated."
King Srivijaya agreed.
After some preparations, Ang Lee led everyone back to the Royal City of Srivijaya. They were going to rest for the last day before heading to Khaling Country.
When they returned to the Royal City, a business expedition team under Zhang Batian happened to enter Srivijaya. They were looking for projects that could be developed so that they could open a workshop here and gain more business benefits for themselves.
King Srivijaya was naturally very happy to see these businessmen come to Srivijaya to inspect the business environment. He received them with hospitality, hoping that they could stay here and open a workshop to improve the living standards of the people of Srivijaya.
Ang Lee also said some words of encouragement. He asked them to do a good job and open a workshop in Srivijaya as soon as possible so that they could expand their business scale as soon as possible. This was for themselves and for the Tang Empire.
Khaling Country was very close to the east. It was the closest small country to the east among all the Nanyang countries. It was also relatively far from the Strait of Malacca.
However, Khaling Country was also a very important country. It was an existence that Ang Lee could not ignore. If he wanted to maintain the safety of Malacca, he had to take care of many surrounding areas. Khaling Country was also a place that could not be ignored. The safety of this small country also determined the safety of Malacca.
If the pirate forces controlled the entire Khaling Country, Srivijaya, which was west of Khaling Country, would not be safe. If Srivijaya was not safe, it would affect the Strait of Malacca not far away. In this way, Malacca would be in danger. Therefore, for the safety of the Strait of Malacca, Khaling Country had to be taken seriously. The Tang Empire had to build a good relationship with Khaling Country and make it a part of the Silk Road of the Tang Empire. Only in this way could they ensure absolute safety and interests. Ang Lee had to go to Khaling Country now to show that the Tang Empire valued Khaling Country.
They left early the next morning. The banquet was very sumptuous. It was ordered by King Srivijaya himself. However, Ang Lee was not very interested in the food. He was more interested in Srivijaya's little girls. He had not used up the four little girls that King Srivijaya gave him to play with. He was going to leave Srivijaya soon. It was not good to take them with him. After all, Khaling Country was indispensable. It was a good choice to enjoy them on the night before he left.
King Srivijaya gave these little girls to Ang Lee for him to enjoy. If Ang Lee did not enjoy them, King Srivijaya would not be happy. Therefore, whether it was to please his body or to please King Srivijaya, Ang Lee had to enjoy these little girls.
She was a young loli with a good figure and a good personality. She was very good in all aspects and was very suitable for men to enjoy. She was in her teens, which was the best age to serve others. Li An would always like lolis at this age. No matter how old he was, he would always think so.
Four women in one night was nothing for a strong man like Li An. He could easily handle them. In this aspect, Li An was very confident.
After washing up, Ang Lee lay on the soft bed to rest. Not long after, four naked little girls walked to the side of the bed and bowed to Ang Lee. They were ready to serve Ang Lee.
As it was their first time serving a man, the four little girls were very nervous. They were a little reserved. Seeing that Ang Lee was not moving, they did not know what to do.
"Is this your first time serving someone?"
Ang Lee asked even though he knew the answer. With his high status, King Srivijaya would not let women who had been used by others serve him. This was a serious disrespect. New clothes and old clothes were always different. Giving old clothes would make people uncomfortable.
"Yes, Assistant Minister Li. We were just selected to enter the palace this year. We haven't …"
One of the little girls said softly.
"Haha! It's good that you haven't. It's best that you haven't. I like young and passionate girls the most. Don't just stand there. Come over and massage my shoulders and legs. I've been tired for a day and my whole body is aching. "
Ang Lee ordered proudly. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage.
The little loli's strength was very weak, and their massage skills were not very good. However, they were young and beautiful, and that was enough. Li An liked young and beautiful girls. It was okay if their skills were not good. Li An could train them well and enjoy the infinite fun of training them.
With four young bodies by his side, Ang Lee was extremely satisfied. King Srivijaya knew how to be a good person. This made Ang Lee very satisfied. He did not make this friend for nothing.
A five-petaled plum blossom was very beautiful. An eight-petaled plum blossom was even more beautiful. Ang Lee squinted his eyes and admired the eight petaled plum blossom in front of him. He was in a good mood.
He gently touched the petal. It was smooth to the touch. It was indeed a high-quality plum blossom. Just looking at it and touching it could prolong one's life.
Ang Lee had a heavy responsibility to open up the Maritime Silk Road. Therefore, no matter how good Srivijaya was, Ang Lee could not stay for too long. He had to do what he had to do.
The next morning, Ang Lee left Srivijaya for the next small country, Khaling. King Srivijaya personally sent Ang Lee off to show his respect.
Looking at the huge steam cannon ship of the Tang dynasty leaving the port, all the people of Srivijaya felt the huge gap between a big country and a small one. In their hearts, they believed that the Tang dynasty was their savior.
Ang Lee proudly led the team and set off. Looking at the envious eyes of the people of Srivijaya, Ang Lee deeply felt the dignity of a big country. If the Tang dynasty was not a big country, Ang Lee would not be able to do it with his high-tech knowledge.
After all, scientific research required manpower and a country's financial resources. Only a big country could have these resources. A small country could not keep up with the various resources. No matter what they did, they would not be able to achieve much.
For example, the research and development center in the suburbs of the Tang dynasty had more than 200,000 talents. This number was more than the total population of most countries in Nanyang. Therefore, these small countries definitely did not have the resources to do big projects. Only a big empire like the Tang dynasty could do it.
Therefore, a big country was born with an advantage that a small country did not have. That was the ability to gather resources to do big things. A big country could gather a lot of China's resources to do a very important thing, but a small country could not gather enough resources to do big things. Otherwise, the country would collapse because of the lack of human resources.
Ang Lee was really proud of being born in a big country like the Tang Empire. He was determined to protect the Tang dynasty and make the Tang dynasty stronger, to the extent that its enemies could only look up to it.
Standing on the command platform and watching the steam cannon ship cut through the waves was a feeling that not everyone could enjoy. Ang Lee felt really good now.
After traveling for a day, the huge fleet approached the island where Khaling Country was at night. This island was later called Claw Frog Island. It was a huge island with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers.
Like Shilifoshi, the climate here was also a tropical rainforest. There were no changes in the four seasons at all. The annual average temperature was about 26 degrees, which was a good temperature.
Because of the tropical rainforest climate, the rainfall was extremely abundant, which made the plants on the island very lush. Almost all the plants that were unique to the tropics could be found here.
Moreover, there were more than 100 volcanoes here, which could be called a volcanic island. The active volcanoes that existed here undoubtedly made it a real volcanic island.
Compared to Shilifoshi, Khaling Country's climate and natural conditions were better. Its population was also several times that of Shilifoshi. It was estimated to be more than 100,000 people! It might even be more than 200,000 people. It was a relatively large country in Nanyang. This was the main reason why Ang Lee attached great importance to Khaling Country.
A country with a relatively large population must be a friend of the Tang Empire. Only in this way could the Maritime Silk Road be safe for the Tang dynasty to build. If a small country with a large population like Khaling Country became a country that supported the pirate force, it would be too dangerous for the Maritime Silk Road.
