Chapter 763: Unification of Asia and Europe

It is certainly more difficult to teach the big cannibals how to farm than to the Byzantines.

Moreover, after they knew that the Tang Dynasty was a two-way acquisition of prisoners of war from Dashi and the Byzantine Empire, they were a little more defensive about the Tang envoys.

However, just as when Sun Xiangfu went to Byzantium, Byzantium at that time needed the support of the Tang Dynasty, and now, they are cannibals, and they also need the support of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, not to mention the good food and drink, at least, they did not dare to violate the agreement reached before the envoy, which made Datang feel dissatisfied.

Because, whether they can continue to live a rich life now depends on Datang.

Yes, their present life is rich.

Because, by selling prisoners of war, they got a lot of money and materials from the Tang Dynasty, robbed the treasure troves of various cities in the Byzantine Empire, and also gave them a lot of gold and silver money, enough for them to squander for a while.

And when they faced the counterattack of the newly armed Byzantine army, they found that materials and money may not help them win the war, but will become a drag on them.

The great cannibals on horseback are the strongest, and the great cannibals who are dragged off the horseback by extravagant life are no different from people of any other race.

At this time, the person who served as the caliph of the Great Food was already Uthman, although he was quite talented in military affairs, but he was very greedy for pleasure, so he was very dissatisfied with Muhammad and Ali and Abu Bakr, and the contradictions within the sect because of the struggle for power and profit could erupt at any time, these are the points that Datang can take advantage of.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu came here and brought Osman a lot of luxurious and enviable gifts, and even a luxuriously decorated steam locomotive.

This made Osman very happy, you know, the previous Heraclius, but did not have such treatment, like him, did not get the high-tech products that Datang did not sell to the outside world at all.

As a result, the Ottomans did not have any restrictions on Sun Xiangfu's lectures in the territory of the Great Eaters, and soon, Han culture began to take root in the territory ruled by the Great Cannibals.

And Heracliu, who learned the news of Sun Xiangfu's envoy to the Great Eclipse, also knew the purpose of the Tang Dynasty, and he did not want the Great Cannibal to get the support of the Tang Dynasty in terms of weapons and equipment, so the arrival of Sun Xiangfu accelerated the Byzantine Empire's counteroffensive against the Great Cannibal.

Therefore, for more than a year, the two empires fought dozens of major wars on the southern coast of the Mediterranean, with a scale of more than 100,000 people, almost a small fight in three days, a big fight in five days, and the war was so fierce that the Ottomans, and those fanatical church elements who complained about him, did not have the time to pay attention to the extent to which the Tang Dynasty, a large number of envoys, had done something in the territory of the Great Food.

Then, when the Ottomans found that the Great Food Army was about to be unable to withstand the attack of the Byzantine Empire, he chose to let those fanatics take their lives to fill it, and finally, triggered a rebellion within the Great Food Army, which made him fall into decline in the war, and in the absence of any way, he found Sun Xiangfu.

As a result, just like the preset plan of the Tang Dynasty, he was supported by a batch of advanced weapons and equipment from the Tang Dynasty, quickly quelled the internal rebellion, exterminated those fanatical church elements, and led the army to defeat the army of the Byzantine Empire, and the battle line advanced straight to Ankara, an important town in the south of the Byzantine Empire.

At this time, Heraclius was already panicked, he couldn't imagine that the equipment sold by the Tang Dynasty was actually divided into so many levels, and dozens of big battles that came and went had already lost all the loyal and daring men of his subordinates, and he no longer had enough military strength to resist the attack of the big cannibals, once Ankara fell, the capital Constantinople, I am afraid that it will not be guaranteed.

At this moment, in addition to asking Datang for assistance, that is the fate of the country.

Then, Datang's goal was achieved without surprise.

Because, from the very beginning, Li Shimin wanted to use the hands of the big cannibals to make a forced landing on the Byzantine Empire, which had a larger population and a higher level of civilization.

When they owed Datang 150 million yuan in national debts and had no ability to resist the invasion of the Great Eclipse, they did not continue to lend them debts without a bottom line, but asked them to repay their debts.

Li Shimin only gave Heraclius, who could not afford to repay his debts, the only choice was to let the Tang Dynasty's troops enter Ankara and Constantinople, and Heraclius removed the title of emperor and made him a king.

Then, after two or three urgent consultations, this empire with the heritage of an ancient civilization disappeared from the world.

Within ten days, the Tang army entered Ankara and Constantinople, and all the territories of the Byzantine Empire were incorporated into the Tang Dynasty at the moment when the army entered the country, and later, these lands would be divided into more than 20 provinces by the government hall for governance.

At this time, the Ottomans, who still wanted to continue to attack the Byzantine Empire, were confused, and in just a few days, the Tang army took over the defense of Ankara's front line, which led to what he would face was the Tang army's defense line, which was difficult for them to get close to.

At this time, he received an ultimatum letter from Sun Xiangfu.

The document asked him to return the plundered land of the former Byzantine Empire to Datang within a specified time, otherwise, Datang would sanction Dashi.

After understanding the meaning of this letter of representation, Osman was even more confused, although Da Shi had received a lot of benefits from Datang before. However, after all, they are two empires, and it is ridiculous that Datang would use the word sanctions.

He can stop the continued attack on the old Byzantine land, which is already considered to give the Tang Dynasty face, but it is impossible to return the territory.

After that, Sun Xiangfu broke down with him and began to lead the members of the mission to evacuate to his country.

At the instigation of his cronies and villains, the Ottomans wanted to detain Sun Xiangfu and the mission, but they didn't want to, and the mission had already embarked on a passage they couldn't have imagined, marching quickly in the opposite direction of the existing territory of the Tang Dynasty, and on the coast of Dashi, they boarded the fleet that the navy had been waiting for here for a long time.

At the beginning of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Sun Xiangfu disembarked at the Bushehr Wharf and traveled all the way north to the place where Li Shimin temporarily set up camp, probably in the area of Tehran City in the later generations.

Here, more than 600,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have gathered, including more than 20,000 cannons of different calibers, more than 3,000 steam chariots with steel shells, and countless other new weapons and equipment.

Sun Xiangfu was actually not interested in watching this almost flat war, but he wanted to prevent the harm caused by the war to the civilian people as much as possible, so Li Shimin gave him the official position of the head of the war zone, not commanding the battle, and was specifically responsible for collecting the people in the areas that were captured by the army and replanning their lives.

With the mobilization of the 600,000 Tang Army, the Battle of Great Unification broke out.

Under the attack of firearms and equipment, the big cannibals had little possibility of counterattacking, and after a few frontal stations with huge losses in the Tang army at the beginning, they were in a state of defeat and retreat, and then Sun Xiangfu even prevented the artillery from bombarding the city where the big cannibals were already small, but adopted the method of persuasion to surrender.

I have to say that his mouth is better than artillery, and the army advanced all the way to the Arabian Peninsula, and there was no city that he could not shout to open, until he arrived at Medina, the capital of the Great Food, and there was an accident.

Under Sun Xiangfu's repeated persuasion, the Ottomans were still stubborn, and the Tang army finally chose to attack by force.

In the summer of the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, the Ottoman was in Medina, hit by the cannonballs of the Tang army, and he could not die again, and the Eurasian continent officially entered the period of great unification.

In this world, if there is anyone who knows the most and can clean up the stall of big food, it must be Sun Zhengming, and Li Shimin went back to Chang'an to plan and arrange the future for this new world pattern.

Because, in the future, people's lives will be completely changed, there will be no foreign enemies, there will be no more arms race, and the focus should be on how to live a good life.

The responsibilities assumed by the military will be proposed by Sun Xiangfu before, and they will be mainly based on various rescue supports.

All kinds of welfare projects and tax structures also need to be changed, when the taxes collected by the imperial court are for the common people, in fact, the role of the imperial court is only to balance the interests of the common people.

All kinds of changes in the direction, Li Shimin had a lot of ideas before starting the war, of course, many of them were to absorb Sun Xiangfu's opinions, these changes were implemented concretely, and there may be a process, and Sun Xiangfu, while leading the local people to farm the land and engage in infrastructure construction, was waiting for the end of this process, so that he could go home and enjoy life.

The new Chang'an City, which has been completed as a whole, is so big that you can't even look at it with a telescope, and it has truly become the center of the world.

Early in the morning, the sound of the death knell rang, and a generation of virtuous ministers Fang Xuanling passed away on August 18, the 22nd year of Zhenguan.

The last letter before his temporary time was presented to the door of Daming Palace by his eldest son Fang Zhizhi, and he did not hand it over to Li Shimin, but read it aloud in front of tens of thousands of people who didn't know why they got up so early and gathered in front of Daming Palace.

The content of his recitation is not complicated, and he invites His Majesty Li Shimin, the first emperor who has truly realized the unification of the world, to add the title of "human emperor" and be the father of all human beings in the world.

Then, this soon became the common wish of tens of thousands of people gathered in front of Daming Palace, and with their shouts, more residents of Chang'an City were alarmed, and more and more people began to gather in front of Daming Palace.

A hundred thousand, a million, even two million, three million.

Now, there are more than 5 million people who are surrounded by the new city wall that is hundreds of miles long, and there is the biggest bustle in the world to see, and who has not come out to take a look.

In the Daming Palace, the bell roared, and all the officials above the seventh grade in Beijing rushed to the palace, and there were tens of thousands of them, which simply crowded the hall of the world's largest palace.

Before Li Shimin's words were spoken, in the hall, starting with the crown prince Li Chengqian, tens of thousands of officials, bowed to the ground and asked him to conform to the will of the people and add the title of 'human emperor'.

Although everyone knows in their hearts that this is a play, the people who kicked off this scene are weighty, and the people who participated in and played the role of this scene are also weighty, so the result of this scene must be successful. (https:)
