Chapter 616: The Quietly Changing World Pattern

Fighting a war like a military exercise is no one.

The Baotou steel battleship was not afraid of the little flames from the burning of the ruined ships, and after someone in the bow of the ship used a long steel fork to push the driftwood of the burned ships to both sides, a road was quickly cleared.

For the burning ability of the fire oil bomb on the sea surface, Zhao Long needs to make a new assessment, don't look at just ten hot air balloons lifted into the air, dozens of fire oil bombs were dropped, but the fire area in an instant reached nearly 1,000 square meters, igniting hundreds of boats, and then, under the action of the sea breeze, these huddled together ships, and burned each other, and when they gradually pulled away those burned ships in the upwind position, the fleet of the Japanese country was still intact, and there were less than a thousand ships.

However, in an hour or so, the more than 3,000 warships that the stables had accumulated for more than two years and built were destroyed by three-quarters of the navy, nearly 30,000 people, and now there are less than 10,000 alive. I don't take the pig so fast!

When the stable saw the tall ships that emitted black metal light in front of him, he knelt down directly, because he knew that if he dared to hesitate, the Tang army only had to let go, and in less than an hour, all the people on the warship that had not yet been burned would be buried in the fire.

It's just an hour's war, and the stable's outlook on life and values have all been subverted by the Tang Army, and now he knows that Inugami Mita didn't lie to him at the beginning, and the gap between the Wa Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty is really indescribable.

"Put the fancy-clad guy in the most fancy, drag them aboard, and the boats that have not left behind will line up from the passage we have cleared, and if they have the courage to escape, we will simply knock them all into the sea."

Zhao Long gave the order, and the sailors immediately complied, and a rope with a loop was skillfully thrown at the stable by a sailor, and then he was lassoed and dragged into the sea, and after choking a few mouthfuls of water, he was hoisted onto the deck where the flagship was.

There were sailors on the ship who understood the Chinese language, and under Zhao Long's instructions, they shouted to those ships of the Chinese Kingdom that had not yet gone overboard, "Immediately, if one person is found on the ship holding a weapon, the whole ship will be beheaded, and if someone dares to flee on the boat, our army will directly crash into pieces and sink to the bottom of the sea." All the ships lined up and followed the large ships of our army out of the harbor area. ”

Escape? Who would dare to escape?

The Datang Navy proved its invincible strength at sea several years ago, and did not see that there was an encirclement of hundreds of waterships in the distance, and the speed of these ships that moved slowly by oars and small sails was not half the speed of other waterships, and there was no possibility of escaping at all.

On the deck, the shivering stables were covered, and the sailors who came up kicked and knelt in front of Zhang Gongjin.

"You should know Chinese! Let's talk about what your identity is in the Wa Kingdom. Zhang Gongjin glanced at the miserable appearance of the stable.

"I'm the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom, you can't do this to me." The stableman tried to break free of the rope and stand up, but he couldn't.

"Arrest."

It was actually an emperor, and the sailor who was still firmly holding the noose heard this, his body stiffened, and he looked at his feet, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, just now he actually kicked the emperor of the Japanese country to the ground.

"Are you the Imperial Stable? What credentials do you have? Not only the sailors who kicked him, but even Zhao Long and Zhang Gongjin were really surprised, unexpectedly, they had just arrived in the Wa Kingdom, and they had caught the biggest fish in the Wa Kingdom.

"I, my waist, have the Emperor's seal."

The stable glanced at his waist, a yellow brocade bag was still hanging on it, and as soon as Zhao Long stretched out his hand, he pulled it down, opened it and saw that it was really.

"Hehe, this Japanese people love to learn the rules of our dynasty, this thing should be equivalent to their jade seal, or the talisman for transferring troops, with it in hand, those guys on the shore are easy to deal with."

"You, why do you want to attack our Wa Kingdom, this is not okay." After listening to Zhao Long's words, the stable owner suddenly became anxious and shouted.

"But no, it's not up to you to have the final say, if you insist on finding a reason, that is, I think you are unhappy, so do it!"

Other courtiers of the Tang Dynasty may not know yet, but Zhao Long knows very well that in several military campaigns against the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese State has participated, and fortunately, Yuan Gai Suwen killed many of them at the beginning, otherwise, maybe this stable can mobilize more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops now!

Zhang Gongjin looked at the seal letter handed over by Zhao Long, stared at the eyes of the stable and said, "I'll ask you a question, do you want the Japanese country to continue to die, if you want, we don't mind letting you see them die, if you don't want to, immediately order all the troops to surrender to our army, I believe you have also seen it, we clean them up, it's just a matter of time." ”

"Surrender, disarm and surrender?" The stable was depressed when he heard this, the more than 50,000 troops he brought out were the strongest army in the Japanese country, if this army surrendered, it would be equivalent to the entire destruction of the Japanese country, but think about his current situation, what is the difference between the country and the country?

"We wanted to surrender to Datang early on, but our envoy never went back every time······"

"I think you misunderstood what I meant, you Japanese countries, in fact, don't even have the qualifications to submit to our Tang Dynasty, now, you are just our prisoners of war, including you, stable, just your title of 'Emperor' is already a great disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Gongjin explained to the stable very calmly, and looked at Zhao Long again.

Zhao Long quickly understood what he meant, and ordered the sailors to put up all the guys who looked like officials on the stables, and then, the next thing, it was not the turn of the stables to have different opinions at all.

An hour's battle wiped out a country with a population of nearly one million, and this was the great result of the Battle of Kyushu.

After that, with the stables and a cadre of the ministers of the Japanese kingdom in hand, the army on land is easy to control, however, these are Zhang Gongjin's affairs, he has spare time, and it is no problem to completely rule the Japanese country, Zhang Long also has to hurry up to complete the clearance of Yizhou Island, Luzon Island, and the remnants of Wang Hao on the coastal islands of India, he just went ashore, and it took a quarter of an hour to break through the remnants of Wang Hao, who were only a few hundred people, and after beheading them all, he sailed away.

At the beginning of March, when Li Shimin went ashore at the Jiangling wharf, he received a flying pigeon from the peninsula, and a month later, Zhang Gongjin will send someone to escort the stables to Jiangling and give Li Shimin a prisoner, and he himself will stay in the Japanese thieves, continue to settle all dissatisfaction, and bring them all under the rule of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Datang now only needs to manufacture these things in large quantities to maintain a war advantage over all enemy countries.

Also at this point in time, Heraclius, who had been walking for half a year, finally returned to Constantinople, he was accompanied by 3,000 soldiers, so he brought back a lot of things, and almost all the high-end goods sold in Dingxiang's Times Square were swept by him, and he just entered the city, and he was impatient to deliver these top goods to his father.

Then, when Heraclius told his father, Emperor Flavis, about what he saw and heard in the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere in the entire palace became heavy.

As the terminal sales market of the Silk Road, they didn't know that the Eastern Empire, which exported goods to them in the past, had become so powerful, no wonder in recent years, their Byzantine Empire's goods were rarely exported to the outside world, but the inflow of goods was more and more, the economy has always been stable, and the Byzantine Empire, which has never lacked gold and silver currency, has gradually felt that the currency in the market has been tense.

This is a new issue, they need to convene the largest political meeting to discuss, however, there is one thing they can determine for the first time, that is, in the current situation of losing the war with the Arabs, they should not be the enemy of an eastern power like Datang, and learn more advanced culture from Datang, and various craft technologies, it is necessary to do, fortunately, Heraclius has agreed with Datang when he was in Datang before some study abroad places, however, Flavies thinks, It is better to send people to study in the Tang Dynasty in multiple times, because the things that Chirac brought back to Constantinople are so good, even if they eat, they are delicious and exquisite, so that reasonable people, including Flavis, feel that even if they spend a lot of money to buy them, they are worth it.

There are many representatives of many countries who have called a meeting of all the management as soon as Heraclius returned to China, especially those countries that had negotiated projects with the Datang mission to the Western Regions, and they did not have so much confidence in Datang before.

However, after seeing the tip of the iceberg of Datang, their confidence has grown directly from insufficient to bursting, and those who were arranged by Ma Zhou to negotiate business cooperation with them, factory development managers, technicians, etc., were directly regarded by them as domestic guests, because they wanted their backward country to be as rich as Datang, even if they followed the footsteps of Datang, they were many times stronger than before.

Due to the distance is too far, it must be very troublesome to communicate these things back and forth, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Commerce each sent an official at the rank of Langzhong, led a cadre of subordinate officials, and after a few months of preparation, they began to set off for the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, and after that, they will be stationed in Broken Leaf City to support the development of these cooperation projects nearby.

On the Jiangling wharf, Li Shimin, who had just gotten off the boat and walked into the front row of the storage area, was attracted by the long row of flags waving in the wind in front of him, almost the same as when the eldest grandson Wuji came here, the eldest grandson Wuji who came to greet him was naturally prepared for a long time, and there were dozens of stalls that he had contracted to serve the officials who were present, and the dining place was on the river embankment next to the wharf.

"The eldest grandson is in charge of entertaining me and waiting for a meal like this, but it is light." Fang Xuanling followed Li Shimin to watch the Jiangling Wharf from a high place, and after sitting in front of a long row of small stools and small tables set up on the embankment, he took the lead in quipping.

"Hehe, it's not light, it's very light, guess what, nearly a hundred court officials, more than a thousand entourage, how much does it cost to eat such a meal?"

"Since you've said it's very light, it's only going to cost a few hundred at most."

"Hahahaha, hundreds."

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head while laughing, and then gave Fang Xuanling five fingers and said, "Fifty guan, this is because the old man has chartered them for an hour, and specially increased the price, if you go to the stall to order and eat like ordinary people, it is difficult for everyone's consumption to exceed thirty yuan, and if there are a thousand people, it will be less than thirty yuan." And as long as I made fifty strokes, they would be able to set up the scene in an instant at the place I had designated, and from beginning to end, I only had to give money and tell them how many guests I had to eat. ”

Hearing this, including Li Shimin, all the courtiers looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, in their opinion, although the types of food on the table are not large, but there are many types, several kinds of fish, chicken and duck, eggs, vermicelli, lo-mei, seasonal vegetables, everything, how can it be so cheap?

The most important thing is that they know that these things are the industries of Jiuyuan County, and it is because of these industries and earning money that Jiuyuan County dares to ensure that everyone has free medical care, education, and pension services, so they are even more puzzled that these foods are sold so cheaply, how did Jiuyuan County make a huge profit?
