C206 (1/2)
To the south of the Tang, between the southern and overseas states of Pharaoh and Java, there was a narrow and long strait about eighty miles wide. It was the only route the ships of the East had to take from the sea to the Gupta Empire and beyond.
And the one controlling this strait is the Overlord of Java.
Whether it was the Tang Dynasty, the Li Kingdom, or the East Ocean Continent, they all had to pay him according to the size of the ships. Otherwise, he would be intercepted and killed by pirates.
As for the plan of the overlord of Java sea, the royal family of the Yuwai Kingdom, who had been beaten to a pulp at the edge of the Strait and had difficulty collecting maritime customs duties, had already dispatched dozens of large warships to suppress the pirates.

Clearly, this was the best time to integrate.
Upon realising that he had lost control of the situation, Kong Juncheng quietly called for a trusted aide.
”Take this token and go to the General Commander of the Zhennan Army stationed in the Eastern and Guangdong Province. Tell him that the martial forces of the three prefectures in Jiangnan are being organized by the foreign sects and are in trouble in the Tang Dynasty.
