Chapter 520: Soldiers Coming to the City

The white sugar has a hint of coolness, and after it is completely fused with the soy milk, the temperature of the soy milk is lowered a little, and the temperature in the mouth is just right. Ranwen ??.? r?a?n?? e?n?a`c?o?m?

Li An put the jade bowl to his mouth and tasted it gently, the sweet taste made Li An quite satisfied, and he couldn't help but take a few more sips.

After raising his head and drinking a bowl of soy milk with white sugar, Ang Lee wanted to drink another bowl to continue to experience this long-lost taste.

"Ah Lang, this soy milk is really delicious, but it takes a little effort to make it."

Yuna drank a bowl of unsweetened soy milk, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"The corners of my mouth are smeared with a layer of soy milk, and I drank it too quickly."

Ang Lee laughed at Yun'er, pointed to the bowl of white sugar next to him, and said softly: "The original flavor is not delicious, try it with some sugar?" ”

Yun'er and the beauty were not polite, boldly added a bowl of sugar each, and after stirring well, they tasted it again.

When the slightest sweetness entered their mouths, the beauty and Yun'a couldn't help but show a sour expression, and glanced at each other, feeling that they had tasted the delicacies of the world.

"Ah Lang, this is really delicious, more delicious than goat's milk."

Yun'er licked the remaining soy milk at the corner of her mouth and said sweetly.

"Ah Lang, can we drink more?"

The beauty was also fascinated by the deliciousness of sweetened soy milk and longed to take a few more sips.

Li An pointed to the ultra-small grinding disc next to him and said: "There is a lot of soybean sugar, if you want to drink, just grind more, you can drink every day in the future, you can drink as much as you want, and you can do it yourself, haha!" ”

Ang Lee has always been very kind to his personal maids, as long as it is not an excessive request, Ang Lee will be satisfied, after all, they are not ordinary maids, let them be happy, in order to better serve themselves and make their lives more nourishing.

"Xie Alang."

The second daughter was so happy, after drinking a few sips of soy milk, she was busy grinding soy milk again, the small grinding plate, the strength required was very small, and it was nothing to the second daughter.

Li An drank three bowls of soy milk early in the morning, which can be said to be full, and the entire soldiers on the ship also enjoyed the blessings, almost everyone drank the soy milk, and even said that it was delicious.

"What is the content of the Treaty of Nanjing? The cession of Hong Kong Island has compensated a lot of silver, and there are also a lot of treaty ports. ”

Li An had eaten and drunk enough, and began to think about how to sign the alliance under the city after meeting the king of the ring kingdom.

Since the Xingshi mobilized the crowd to come here, they must always ask for enough benefits, otherwise, where is the heavenly power of the Tang Empire.

After thinking about it, in addition to getting the other party to agree to reduce the tariff, it is also necessary to ask them to repay the overcharged taxes, and if the other party does not agree, they can make more demands in exchange for this article.

The content of the Nanjing Treaty, Li An quickly recalled, however, many of the provisions in it did not apply to the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Huan Kingdom, and some adjustments needed to be made, and Li An was adjusting in his heart at the moment, and thinking about the interests of both parties, and how to make a request, so that the other party could accept it.

Everyone has a bottom line, and the country is the same, once this bottom line is violated, it will start a war, so it is very important to understand the bottom line of the other party, so it is very convenient to negotiate.

Of course, the bottom line can also change, once you know that the other party is much stronger than you and you can't beat it, then you will naturally lower your bottom line.

For example, there are many female babies in later generations, because they pick men and pick dazzling eyes, and they are slowly getting older and older, and their value is naturally getting lower and lower.

In this case, their standards for finding a partner will naturally be lowered, that is, they will re-examine themselves and lower their requirements for their spouses, so that they can marry out faster.

Therefore, the bottom line can also be lowered, when Li Ang understands that the death of the country is in an instant, it is estimated that the king of the other party will reduce his conditions without limit, as long as he can maintain the operation of the kingdom normally.

The speed of the steam ships was already fast, and the journey was mostly tailwindy, so the huge fleet led by Ang Lee arrived at the port of Champa before evening, and was ready to move at any time.

More than 100 huge sea ships surrounded the port, which frightened the soldiers of the Ring Kingdom in the port, they had never seen such a big battle before, and some of the timid indiscriminate people were even so frightened that they peed their pants.

"Li Shilang, look at what they are scared of, haha!"

One of his subordinates walked up to Ang Lee and laughed happily.

Li An gently put down the binoculars, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Order the landing ship to dock immediately, all the ironclad artillery trucks go ashore, the forward battalion will land later, and the soldiers and horses of the Longwu Army will go ashore last." ”

If the elite sailors of the Tang Dynasty wanted to land here, the military strength of the Ring Kingdom was powerless to stop it, they could only watch all this, and there was no way at all.

When the unstoppable ironclad artillery trucks rushed onto the beach, a small number of soldiers around the kingdom turned around in fright and ran, they all ate mixed food, usually bullied merchants and ordinary people, but they had no idea at all in the face of the real elite army.

Fifty ironclad artillery trucks landed on the beach like bamboos, and the unstoppable momentum not only scared away the soldiers of the Ring Kingdom, but even the ordinary fishermen and ordinary people were scared away, they probably thought that the Tang army was going to attack, so in order to save Qingqing's life, they could flee as fast as they could.

Behind the 50 ironclad artillery wagons were 500 officers and men of the Guangzhou Army, all of whom were from fishermen's background, and their combat effectiveness was still very strong, so they were the most suitable for the landing force.

Subsequently, the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the forward battalion began to land, and finally converged with the ironclad artillery brigade to form a more powerful combat force.

This powerful army approached the city at an unfast speed and stopped at a distance from the gates of the city.

Li An did not intend to come out of the nest, he ordered Li Feiyu to lead three thousand dragon warriors to land on the beach with him and join the troops in front.

The news of the arrival of the elite soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty soon reached the ears of the king of the ring kingdom, this young king, who was originally pampering the beauty in the palace, heard the news, he was frightened at that time, and it is estimated that there will be a psychological shadow in the future, if he can't do anything from now on, it is estimated that he will hate Li An to death.

"King, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses have sailed out of the city, and there are more than 100 big ships on the sea, very big ships, what should we do?"

A minister who ascended the throne with a concubine said tremblingly.

"Let's go, go to the city walls."

The king hurriedly went to the city wall, he wanted to see the Tang army with his own eyes, to see how powerful the Tang army was, whether it was as powerful as the courtiers said.

Champa is the largest city in the kingdom, but after all, it is a city of small countries, so it must not be too big, and it is not far from the palace to the city wall, and it can be reached quickly by making a sedan chair.

It didn't take long for the king to arrive at the gate tower and squint into the distance.

"There are a lot of Tang troops, there are tens of thousands of horses!"

The king was frightened, and felt that his garrison soldiers and horses were not enough at all, such a large and small country, the whole country had only 10,000 soldiers, and it would be good to have 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, besides, the equipment of the Tang army was there, and it was impossible to defeat it at a glance.

"King, surrender!"

Said the timid minister.

"Surrender, surrender before you fight?"

The king was a little unwilling, if he surrendered, he would no longer be a king, he would become a prisoner, and his life would be ruled by someone else.

"King, we are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, there is no reason for the Tang army to attack us, otherwise, it is not moral."

A general came over and loudly pointed out the fault of the Don army.

The king suddenly came to his senses and nodded: "That's right, the Tang army can't attack its own subjects at will, and we haven't done anything to threaten the Tang Dynasty, and the annual tribute has never been less." ”

"King, the last general will go down and talk to him."

The military general said loudly.

The king nodded, "Well, you can go!" I'm here waiting for your good news. ”

Soon, the gates of the city opened, and a military general with a dozen soldiers rode to the Tang army's camp, preparing to negotiate with the Tang army.

At this moment, Li An had already arrived in the city, and in addition to five or six thousand soldiers and horses, there were also two maids, Yun'er and Beauty, and some of the kitchen equipment was also brought.

Among them, the equipment for grinding soybean milk is naturally indispensable, and the soybeans have been soaked for a long time and can be ground at any time.

"Big brother, the city gate is open."

Li Feiyu reminded.

Li An nodded, looked at the maid beside him, and asked, "Yun'er, beauty, is soy milk delicious?" ”

The second daughter was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's delicious, it's very delicious, does Ah Lang want to grind soy milk here?" ”

Li An smiled: "The king of the Ring Kingdom, although he is the king of a country, I suspect that he has never drunk soy milk, and it is good to let him drink a few sips today." ”

The two girls glanced at each other and felt quite surprised.

Soon, the defender of the city approached on horseback and dismounted alone.

"I am the general who occupies the city, why did your Tang army invade my territory for no reason?"

The guards of the city of Zhancheng shouted accusations as soon as they came up.

Li An smiled and beckoned: "General, don't be angry, the Huan Kingdom is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, and the land of the Huan Kingdom is the land of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Although the Huan Kingdom is a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, it does not accept direct jurisdiction, besides, I see that what you are putting on is obviously attacking the city, and it doesn't look like you're here to take a turn at all."

The defender of the city said angrily.

Li An smiled: "Siege? Champa is just a small city, if you want to attack the city, now the city has long been broken, we really came to walk around, by the way, go back and ask your king, have you ever drunk soy milk, if not, I can make a copy here, let him try it. ”

"My squire has no ill intentions, he just wants to invite the king of your country to come over."

One of the ministers said again.

The defenders of the city had no choice but to retreat.

"How is it, what did the generals of the Tang Army say?"

As soon as the guard returned, the king questioned him.

"The king, they said that there was no malice in coming this time, they just wanted to invite the king to come over and talk about it, and they also wanted to invite the king to drink soy milk."

The defender of the city said truthfully.

"Soy milk, this king has heard of it, it seems to be the drink of the Tang nobles, but I don't know what it tastes like."

The king thought for a while, and felt that it was better to go over, in case he annoyed the Tang army, it was not safe for him to hide in the city.

In order to show his sincerity, the king of the Huan Kingdom walked out of the city on foot with dozens of cronies, and soon came to Li An.

At the number of courtesies, Li An hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, please take a seat." ”

Outside the city, Li An had already prepared tables and chairs, as well as large umbrellas to shade the sun.

The king sat down lightly and looked at Li An with some horror, as if he was worried about his life, while dozens of his subordinates stood honestly behind him, not daring to say a word.

As for the real purpose of Ang Lee's visit this time, the king has a number, a few days ago, he just rejected Ang Lee's request to reduce tariffs, and he estimated that Ang Lee was here to ask the guilt.

"Your Royal Highness, have you ever drunk soy milk?"

Ang Lee asked softly.

"No, I've never drunk it, which makes Li Shilang smile."

The king said with a smile.

Li An pointed to the small grinding disc and said, "Your Royal Highness, please see, this is the grinding disc, which is specially used to grind soy milk, and the ground soy milk can be boiled and drinkable." ”

After speaking, he looked at the beauty and Yun'er, and asked the two to start grinding.

The soaked soybeans are soft and perfect for grinding, and after a while, white juice flows out of the cracks in the grinding disc, which looks very magical.

"Your Royal Highness, this white juice is soy milk, it is very delicious and nutritious."

Ang Lee said.

"Oh, is it? Xiao Wang didn't know. ”

The king was still nervous, he vaguely guessed Ang Lee's intention, but Ang Lee did not say what he meant directly, but leisurely let the maid grind soy milk here, which made him feel very nervous.

"Actually, this grinding soy milk! It's very simple, just turn the grinding disc, His Royal Highness try it. ”

Ang Lee told Yun'er to stop and let the king grind.

"Okay, Xiao Wang try."

The king had no choice but to reach out and grind soy milk, but he had been watching it for a while just now, so he knew how to grind soy milk.

"His Royal Highness the King grinds so well, it's a pity not to open a soy milk workshop in Chang'an City."

Ang Lee smiled.

"Ah......h

The king was immediately frightened, Li An obviously had something to say, let him be the king of a country, go to Chang'an City to grind soy milk and sell it, this is not a threat.

Seeing that the king's face was frightened, Li An hurriedly comforted: "Your Royal Highness the King, don't blame, it's just a joke below, Your Highness is a dignified king of a country, and you still need to go to Chang'an City to sell soy milk, jokes, jokes!" ”

The king breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took out a scented handkerchief and gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

The king of the ring kingdom only grinded for a short time, and then handed over the task of grinding beans to Yun'er and Beauty, and soon, a wooden barrel full of raw soy milk was gathered.
