The Tang Dynasty supported Rahman so many weapons and equipment at once, which naturally attracted everyone's attention, ordinary people just joined in the fun, talked about state affairs, and the people sent by Charlemagne, as well as the supporters under Rahman, as well as the opposition within the kingdom, attached great importance to this matter.

Charlemagne and Rahman had just broken out in a tragic war not long ago, and at this moment, although they tried to rebuild the old friendship in the name of fake peace talks, the relationship between the two sides was still not good enough.

The opposition of the kingdom, bent on overthrowing Rahman's rule, naturally did not want Rahman to obtain the equipment of the Tang Dynasty, and it was naturally very uneasy and frightened to see that the Tang Dynasty had so many weapons to help Rahman.

As for Rahman's supporters, they are also very concerned about this batch of aid weapons, after all, these supporters belong to different factions and represent different interest groups, and Datang has sent so many weapons and equipment, they will definitely have a piece of the pie, and how much they can get is something they need to seriously consider.

Charlemagne's subordinates, after getting the news, naturally couldn't wait to send the news back so that Charlemagne could be prepared.

The opposition of the Rahman kingdom also sent the news back to the mountains so that their leaders could be prepared.

As for Rahman's supporters, they immediately went to the palace, ready to ask for more weapons and equipment, so as to enrich their armed forces, so that their position in the kingdom could be more stable, and they could have a greater voice in their speech, in short, they were going for profit.

Of course, at this moment, they are still unaware of the fact that Ang Lee has already assisted a large amount of technical information, and if they do, it is estimated that they will fight for a bloody battle.

"The king, the ministers are anxious to see you."

The squire spoke.

Hearing this, Rahman smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, nodded in agreement.

When did these ministers refuse to see them when they wanted to, and they didn't see each other when they met, who made their position not stable enough?

However, this time, Rahman has found a way to deal with these supporters, he has a large amount of technical information supported by Ang Lee, which only he knows, as long as Ang Lee doesn't say it, he doesn't say it himself, no one should know, so he can give these techniques to the people he likes as he likes.

Of all of Rahman's supporters, some are very powerful, some are loyal, in short, there are any kinds of situations, and he has been trying to balance these intricate relationships.

With the help of the God-given opportunity of technical support, La Shimei naturally has to favor the weaker and more loyal supporters, once these technical materials are given to the weak, but reliable supporters, they will soon be able to form a new force, so as to better neutralize the existing powerful faction.

For an emperor, the more factions he supports, the safer his throne will be, because a large number of supporters can check and balance each other, so that no one dares to be disrespectful to the king, which in turn strengthens the king's status and prestige, and makes everyone fear the king.

"Hahaha! King, I have heard that Datang has assisted us with a large amount of weapons and equipment, so hurry up and share them with everyone! Are we in need of these weapons? ”

"Yes, yes, so many weapons, hurry up and divide them!"

"Datang's weapons, the quality must be good, equipped with Datang's weapons, can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our army, the sooner the equipment is equipped, the better, after all, the soldiers still need some time to adapt to the use of new weapons."

"Datang won't give us weapons for no reason, there must be something to ask for! Don't know what they are asking for. ”

As soon as the ministers entered the door, they talked loudly, and they were quite disrespectful to the king.

Rahman looked at the ministers with a smile and said: "Everyone, what we analyzed before is not wrong, Datang really fell in love with our Gibraltar, so he is willing to use these weapons to exchange Gibraltar, in addition, Datang also promised that if the Ottomans attack our country from the south, Datang will not agree, and will definitely organize Ottoman military operations, so we are not at a loss, after all, there is not much place there, and we can't grow food, the only thing that is valuable is the port, and we have no shortage of ports in the south, It doesn't hurt to give one to Datang, and in the later stage, Datang will give us more assistance. ”

These are all truths, and Rahman only discarded the technical assistance information and did not tell the ministers, lest it cause them to fight even more.

"King, Gibraltar is my territory, and the Tang Dynasty has used so many weapons to exchange Gibraltar, these weapons should be given to me in full."

A minister asked.

"No, you only have 3,000 soldiers and horses under your command, and you need so many weapons, can you use them up? At most, we will give you a few more, and we should have a share of it. ”

"The king, the soldiers and horses responsible for defending the north should be given priority to get these weapons, after all, the threat to the north is the greatest now."

"The threat in the south is not small, the rebels are mainly entrenched in the south, we should give priority to equipping the soldiers and horses in the south, and the most important thing is to destroy the rebels first, isn't Charlemagne still not moving, rashly strengthening the defense of the north will weaken the sincerity of our peace talks."

"Charlie, this guy is not here for peace talks at all, the war in the north may ignite at any time, and the defense of the north must be strengthened first."

Many ministers argued endlessly, and they all wanted to carve up the weapons of the Tang Dynasty.

Rahman has a large amount of technical information in his hands, so he naturally doesn't care about them competing for Datang weapons, so he is not in a hurry at all, and he seems to be very leisurely.

"Don't fight, I have already seen these Datang weapons, they are a little different from our weapons, the soldiers need to be familiar with them before they can be used normally, so all the soldiers and horses need to be equipped, and the Praetorian Guards of the palace also need to be equipped, if it is easy to use, in the future, you can also buy it from Datang, and the price is cheaper than our own imitation."

Rahman opened his mouth and spoke up about his decision.

Many ministers, most of them were satisfied, as long as it was divided equally, they naturally had no opinion, after all, these weapons were exchanged for the port of Gibraltar, and they did not have any actual losses.

And the minister, who once owned the port of Gibraltar, was very unhappy in his heart, and his face was very ugly, but because his strength was relatively weak, he could only sulk by himself.

"The list of weapons allocation, I have already written it, you each receive your weapons and send them to the army quickly!"

Rahman spoke.

All the ministers were happy to go to collect their weapons, but the unhappy minister did not leave.

"King, I am the most loyal to you, we have all fled from Khorasan, why should you favor them?"

The henchman said very unhappily.

Rahman smiled and said: "I naturally know this, but these weapons are nothing, it costs money to raise soldiers, if you don't have enough wealth, no matter how many soldiers and weapons you have, it's useless, this time, Datang not only gave us a lot of weapons, but also gave us some technical information, I think you are the most suitable to have." ”

After speaking, he handed some of the technical information to the confidant minister.

"Datang Iron and Steel Smelting Technology, Cement Manufacturing Technology, Crushed Stone and Sand for Concrete."

When the confidant minister saw this, he was a little puzzled at first, but he soon understood that this was a technology that could make money.

Not much else, just the new steel smelting technology can achieve higher production and quality of the iron ore he masters, and naturally he can make more money.

Seeing that the face of the confidant minister finally softened, Rahman spoke: "There is a lime mine in the mountains near Gibraltar, you can build a cement workshop in that place, Datang will send someone to help you, and the things produced will be sold to Datang first, and after the output increases, we can supply ourselves, and the iron ore also needs to be improved according to this method, and the crushed stone and sand should also be improved according to this requirement, and then it can be sold to Datang." ”

"Thank you, King, I was wrong just now."

The confidant minister hurriedly apologized.

Rahman said magnanimously: "It's okay, let's go and prepare early!" I hope your cement plant can produce products as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry, king, I will work hard, I will always be your loyal subordinate."

In addition to thanking the minister, he did not forget to express his loyalty.

Because there have long been rumors that the Tang Dynasty has an attempt on Gibraltar of the Rahman Kingdom, so when everyone saw that the Tang Dynasty was transporting a large number of weapons to Rahman, they naturally thought of this problem, so the news that Rahman ceded Gibraltar to the Tang Dynasty quickly spread, whether it was true or not, in short, almost everyone believed it.

The remnants of Youssef, who were active around Córdoba, were naturally quite frightened after learning the news, and Rahman won the support of the Tang Empire at the price of ceding a piece of land, which was naturally not good news for them.

In addition, since the civil strife of the nascent Abbasan Dynasty, they have lost all kinds of support from the Khorasan side, and everything can only rely on their own ability, after all, the territory of the Abbasid Dynasty has been greatly reduced, Egypt has been occupied by the Ottomans, the Arabian Peninsula has also become someone else's territory, and their remaining core territory of Khorasan has been divided into two parts, and Abdullah in the northwest has become a separatist force.

They no longer have the support of the Khorasan side, but Rahman has obtained the weapon support of the Tang Dynasty on the basis of sacrificing part of the land, so the situation has become even more unfavorable for them.

Therefore, these rebel forces are very anxious, and all they can do is to bewitch the common people, trumpet Rahman's traitorous behavior, reduce Rahman's prestige, and achieve their own goals.

But the effect of this is really very general, because there is no unified patriotic education in this era, and almost all people are selfish, which is human nature, and there is nothing worth saying.

Therefore, the propaganda actions of these opposition parties do not play a big role, and it is almost impossible to arouse the anger of the common people, because this is a deal between the Rahman Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, and the ordinary people have not received any losses, they are naturally unwilling to take care of these idle matters, and it is the right thing to live their own small life.

The powerful interest groups would not care about these matters either, after all, they had agreed with Rahman that they could sacrifice the interests of Gibraltar if necessary, and that the port was the domain of a certain minister, so as long as the minister had no opinion, why should the other ministers and interest groups have an opinion? Someone else loses their land and gets a weapon for themselves, such a good thing is hard to find with a lantern!

The minister who lost the territory of Gibraltar obtained several technical materials of the Tang Dynasty from Rahman, and the benefits gained were even greater, and he was the biggest winner.

In this exchange of interests, the only interests that were damaged were the opposition of the Rahman kingdom, and by the way, Charlemagne in the far north.

After the subordinates sent by Charlemagne sent the news back to the north, everyone in the entire empire, including Charlemagne himself, was shocked and was very wary of the Tang Dynasty's assistance to Rahman's weapons.

Because they had already seen the sophisticated weapons of the Tang Dynasty with their own eyes, Charlemagne's subordinates all felt that Rahman's combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced after obtaining the weapons supported by the Tang Dynasty, and it would be a huge threat to their empire.

When his subordinates generally believed that Rahman's support from the Tang Dynasty would greatly increase his strength, Charlemagne also had to believe it, and felt that he had to find a way to deal with the current crisis.

It is necessary to strengthen border preparations, and peace talks cannot be stopped, and in addition, we must find ways to contact Datang and strive to obtain Datang's assistance.

However, as soon as he heard that Rahman was selling part of his land in exchange for the aid of weapons from the Tang Dynasty, Charlemagne muttered a little in his heart.

After all, no king is willing to give up his territory, this is a traitorous behavior, which is despised by many aspiring kings, Charlemagne is naturally the same, as the greatest king of the entire Europa world, he is very face-oriented, and the method of ceding territory to obtain assistance is obviously difficult for Charlemagne to accept, but if he does not cede the land, Charlemagne does not know what else he can come up with, what can be exchanged with the Tang Dynasty, gold, silver and jewelry are good things, but the Tang Dynasty does not lack these at all, If Rahman had obstructed it, things would have been more troublesome.

However, if you don't touch it, how can you know if it can't be done? Therefore, Charlemagne quickly ordered that the people under his command should contact the Tang Dynasty, and in addition, they said that they were going to peace talks, so the peace talks will also begin, as long as the boundaries are determined, the contradictions will be much smaller in the future.
