Two small teams of less than 1,000 people are just impossible to make any waves in Dingxiang City, which has an army of more than 200,000 people.

Soon, all kinds of screams came from the back of the team, which was more like Sun Xiangfu's military warning to all outsiders, here, they must not provoke the authority of the Tang Dynasty.

Behind Abu Bakr, is Tianzhu's important minister Boni, this nearly sixty-year-old man in Tianzhu's status is extremely lofty, even the king of the ring is under his support, but at this time the king of the ring has not yet unified South India, the population under his rule, almost only about 13 million, Tang Jian ranked it in Byzantium, Persia, and after the Great Eclipse, it can be regarded as the fourth power of the state outside the Tang Dynasty.

"The steel ingots brought by Anato, are you still satisfied?"

To Sun Xiangfu's surprise, Po Ni can also speak Chinese, but not as fluently as Abu Bakr, and it is obvious that he is a newcomer.

After making the standard greeting to the mother, Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, our Datang is very willing to do business with a 'businessman' like Ana Tuo in your country, but it seems that he didn't come this time." ”

Sun Xiangfu deliberately bit the word 'businessman' very hard, just to remind Po Ni that it was just a business transaction and did not involve politics, although Anatuo's status in Tianzhu was comparable to that of the general of the Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty.

Po Ni smiled and said, "Our great King of the Ring of the Sun is about to launch a unified war against the south, so there will be no more such things as transporting a large number of steel ingots to Datang for trading in the next few years, but if you merchants of Datang can bring a large number of goods to us to trade, we don't mind selling more steel ingots to you." ”

Historically, the southern expedition of the King of the Ring Sun was not so smooth, after the defeat in the first battle, there were several years of offensive and defensive warfare, and it was not until more than ten years later that it was finally unified.

Now, it may be even more difficult, because the South Indian region is closer to the sea and closer to the Tang Dynasty in a straight line on the sea, and if the Tang Dynasty also allows the King of the Ring of the Sun to unify the entire Indian region as in history, and establish a great dynasty with a population of 20 million people, which is enough to threaten the international status of the Tang Dynasty, it is not in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

Yes, after receiving the news brought back by Ma Zhou, Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu both knew what kind of attitude to use to deal with Tianzhu.

Po Ni has long known that the Tang Dynasty has dealings with several major kingdoms in the coastal areas of India from the sea, and now, Master Xuanzang, who is quite famous in Tianzhu, arrived at the Vaanaby Kingdom from the sea several years ago, and then arrived at Qunu City, the capital of Tianzhu.

It's a pity that the current territory of the King of the Ring Sun is only the area of Jijarat west of the Deccan Plateau that is coastal, and if the Tang fleet wants to trade directly with them, it needs to sail thousands of miles more, in this way, I am afraid that the merchants of the Tang Dynasty will not be willing, and the coastal kingdom will not use more favorable conditions to cut off their Hu.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu roughly guessed that Po Ni was showing favor on behalf of the King of the Ring Sun, and even, it was also a kind of show of goodwill to let Ananta Tuo transport so many steel ingots to sell to the Tang Dynasty, you must know that the King of the Ring Sun does not have an overwhelming advantage over the southern coastal kingdoms with a total population of 10 million, and if the Tang Dynasty receives their materials at sea, or starts trade, he will have no advantage at all.

"Yes, in a few years, when our sea transportation channels are more perfect, our ships can go directly to the Ganges and Indus rivers to many inland cities on your side."

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's words, even if he is as old as a mother, he is a little uneasy, is Datang's navigation technology so advanced?

You must know that although their Indian civilization originated very early, it is still in a situation of admiration so far.

Thinking of this, Bo Ni spoke again, "If Datang can give me some support in shipbuilding technology, we are willing to give you some good steel ingots for free." ”

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he said with a smile, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can take the invitation card to enter the city first, and at the banquet in the afternoon, we can draw up the trade framework that the two sides want to cooperate with, and talk slowly one by one, anyway, we still have a long time to meet after that." ”

Hearing this, Po Ni shook his head left and right, then took the invitation, led Tianzhu's thousand-person brigade, and walked towards the wide city gate, he wanted to draw up something as soon as possible and reach a cooperation agreement with Datang.

Sun Xiangfu knew early on that the Indian's shaking was confirmation, but he asked Tang Jian, who was about to explain to him on the side, to put some thought in vain.

After that, the kingdoms were complicated, the Khazar Khanate, Magadha, the Deccan Kingdom, the Garud Wave, the Orissa Kingdom, the Oghuz Kingdom, and so on and so forth.

There are dozens of kingdoms with a population of more than one million alone, among them, many of them are still the lords of the country, they all greeted Sun Xiangfu and Tang Jian one by one, and roughly expressed some intentions before entering the city, and when the delegations of those small countries with a population of only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands arrived, Sun Xiangfu didn't chat with them much.

Report their names, do a free courtesy, and directly let people take them to the property developed by Zhang Chun, with their spending power, they are not qualified to live in a hotel, and directly live in the property developed by Zhang Chun' After all, it is Datang who bears their food, drink and accommodation throughout the whole process, and the consumption of these small countries in Dingxiang may not be enough for the food and accommodation provided by Datang, and it is unfair to those big countries that pay for themselves.

Of course, there are also small coastal countries like the Kingdom of Vaanabi that have special treatment, who calls the king of the family to have a good son-in-law!

Xi Junmai is a seed player of the Anbei Army team, although he came to Dingxiang some time ago, but has been in the devilish closed training with the team, he is now also a miscellaneous general of the Tang Dynasty, his own money and money from Sun Xiangfu's side of the industry can be a lot, before, the head of his twelve Indian wives, Princess Daier of the Vaanabi country, took his money to buy a big castle in Dingxiang City, and now, he directly took the entire delegation to his own castle to live.

However, the number of the Vaanabi Kingdom delegation, which was originally quite good on the coast of India, was a little small, only more than 300 people, for no other reason, if it wasn't for the Lingnan fleet to help them in the previous two years, they would have been defeated by the King of the Ring of the Sun.

Therefore, Po Ni's worries are not unreasonable, the fleet of Lingnan is now running very diligently towards the Indian Sea, they only need to give some ship support to countries like Vanaby, even if it has lost most of the land, only one or two hundred thousand people in a small country, it is difficult to destroy the king of the sun, no way, the Tianzhu people who originated in the northern plateau are not good at water warfare, once they reach the area with more coastal lakes and rivers, even if the number of troops is several times larger than the other party, it is easy to lose.

Moreover, this tradition, the Indians have continued to later generations, and every time he sees the news about the aircraft carrier they bought, Sun Xiangfu feels funny.

At the end of the day, the teams of Tubo and Bi finally came over.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Tang Army is still very powerful, almost every one of them has been slapped, and on the premise that there is no fear for their lives, they are extremely embarrassed.

"Is this your Datang's hospitality?" The leader of the Tibetan people, Dawang, a big man dressed in a suit similar to a fish lin's armor, yelled at Sun Xiangfu.

However, his roar was obviously not very angry, because one of his back molars should have been knocked out, and after vomiting a lot of blood, the saliva star was still red, and now, the muscles of half of his face were throbbing in pain.

"The Tang Dynasty has always been like this to the villains, have you Tubo people forgotten the battle of Yanpingmen so quickly?"

Sun Xiangfu said this, Dawang with two plateau red cheeks, even more red and black, more than 200,000 Tubo iron horsemen, after coming to the Tang Dynasty, the waves did not turn up a single one, so defeated, all the main generals were in prison in Chang'an, more than 100,000 young and strong soldiers, reduced to slaves who did heavy physical work for the Tang Dynasty.

At first, he thought it was caused by the incompetence of Songtsen Gampo and Wang Lin and others in leading the troops, but now it seems that this is not the case, just now, just a random team of Tang soldiers and horses came, and they didn't even pull out their sharp blades, just used their fists and feet, and after a few breaths, they beat them to their knees and begged for mercy.

Of course, if he had the iron armor of the Tang Army, he would dare to fight like this, the key is that from the beginning of the queue to the time he walked to the city gate, all the Tang soldiers he saw were wearing such full-body iron armor, which was not ordinary.

You must know that the level of civilization in their Tubo at this time is not very bad, and the fish scale armor on his body is self-made by them, and even, in history, they also built a huge Potala Palace during this period, but compared with the Tang Dynasty, it seems that it is still far away!

"Hmph, today's matter, Benjiang will definitely get it back on the battlefield one day." Tawang can be a high-ranking general representing Tibet, and he is not a fool, he knows the loss, but he also stubbornly finds himself a step down.

It's not early, Sun Xiangfu is too lazy to talk nonsense with them at the gate of the city, he glanced at the team of the Piu Kingdom who were as colorful as them from a distance, turned around and walked towards the city, for this country controlled by religion, Sun Xiangfu also has no good feelings, and it is indeed not early now, he has to go to Wangjiang Tower to arrange the banquet first, as for the invitation to the banquet, Sun Xiangfu directly does not plan to give them.

"Zhengming, no matter how you say it, Bi Guo can be regarded as a big country with a population of more than two million, and at the end of the list, it can already be regarded as losing their face, so give them a copy!" Tang Jian, who had previously been in contact with the Pi State and Tubo teams, pulled Sun Xiangfu and persuaded him.

"You can't get used to them too much, if you want an invitation, you have to correct your attitude first."

After that, Sun Xiangfu handed the last two invitations to Tang Jian, and said as he walked into the city, "If they come to you for advice, you can depend on their attitude!" Hopefully, after a walk around the city, they'll know what the green onion is. ”
