Chapter 639: I'll Help You Eliminate the Pirates, It's Reasonable for You to Give Money (Part I)
When I got the battle report in my hand, the whole person of the King of the Ring Sun was not good, who can tell me, what is going on?! Why is Datang here?! The focus is still on the army of the Tang Dynasty! And an army that can wipe out thousands of elite pirates, needless to say, it must be the army of the Tang Dynasty.
The question is...... He wanted to curse, because the Tang Dynasty occupied this place, which is completely different from pirates.
Now he wants to take back the land, how can he take it back? Attack the Tang Dynasty? Don't make trouble, the current Tubo is a huge enemy for the Jieri Dynasty, offend the Tang Dynasty at this time, don't die?!
The King of the Ring of the Sun is not a mediocre emperor, he was able to establish the Ring of the Sun Dynasty in terms of strategic vision and knowledge, he knows very well that since the army of the Tang Dynasty can appear in this place, it must come through the fleet, and the fleet that can carry so many soldiers must be very large!
This means that they quit the Japanese dynasty...... Can't afford to mess with it!
A little Tubo they can't beat, compared with the powerful Tang Dynasty?
"General Ashunluo, are you sure it's the army of the Tang Dynasty?" The King of the Ringing Sun, Holi Shavadana, looked at the battle report in his hand, raised his head and asked.
"Yes, King of the Sun. The other party was not far from our city and launched a hunt for those pirates, and the army of the Tang Dynasty ...... It's so powerful! Fully armed, fully armoured! And with a terrifying number of crossbows, almost all of those pirates were wiped out in a rain of arrows! ”
"After the other party eliminated the pirates, at first they thought that we were also accomplices of the pirates, but later after we explained, we learned that we were the army of the Jieri Dynasty, and they told us that these pirates attacked Luzon, the territory of the Tang Dynasty, in the Nanyang region of the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tang naval fleet chased them all the way."
"These pirates have also wiped out many countries along the way in order to replenish supplies, and the Lion Kingdom has also been exterminated by these pirates, and these places are currently under the control of the Tang Dynasty. The general of the Tang Dynasty said that those who dare to offend the power of the Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away, and these pirates are the same! The territory of these pirates will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty as their reparations. ”
Ah Shunluo lowered his head and spoke.
The King of the Ring of the Sun froze there.
My Nima's! His heart burst into a local foul language, the territory of pirates? Is there a possibility that the territories you are talking about are all territories of our Ring Dynasty?! The question is...... Does he dare to say this to the generals of the Tang Dynasty? Can't.
Because the Tang generals were not snatched from the hands of their soldiers, but from the hands of pirates...... Your past at this time is going to be ...... Aren't you looking for death?
"General Ashunluo, do you think we can take back our land from the hands of the Tang Dynasty." The King of the Ring looked at him and asked.
Ah Shunluo didn't look up, he was a little speechless in his heart, can you take it back that you don't have a B number in your heart? Look at the current situation in our country, don't you know? Of course, it is impossible to put into words what you think in your heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time, it is not a question of whether we can recover the country, but whether we can hold the attack of Tibet." Ah Shunluo gathered his thoughts and said, "It is foreseeable that it is definitely impossible for us to offend a powerful Tang Empire again. ”
"In such a situation, the minister has some other ideas."
"You say." The King of the Ring Sun frowned, then looked at Ah Shunluo and spoke.
"I heard that the Tang army was personally led by His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and this time His Royal Highness the King of Qin came over, mainly to do business with Persia, and I heard that even weapons and steel can be bought."
"Your Majesty, if we have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, buy steel from them, and build our armor, then we will not only be able to resist the attack of Tubo, but even take more land, compared to these, those occupied by the Tang Dynasty in the past are nothing at all, and when the time comes, not only Tubo is nothing, but you can unify the entire continent by the King of the Sun." Ah Shunluo said in a deep voice.
King Jieri was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he nodded violently and said: "General, what you said is very reasonable, in this way, it just so happens that you also understand the Tang dialect, I appoint you as my envoy, and take me to the target location to visit His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you can persuade the Tang Dynasty to sell us weapons or steel and other materials, you have full authority to deal with other things." ”
"Yes!" Ah Shunluo directly bent down and saluted.
……
Li Ke looked at the port in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, the bay below the Baling Peninsula itself has a good port, because this itself is a necessary place for merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty to trade with Persia.
This Baling Bay is a place where a total of four rivers flow into the sea, so it was originally a good port in itself.
Now the entire port has been taken by the Tang army, and the construction of the port can directly dock large ships like the Qinwang, which is a good place. At this time, because there was not so much sediment in several rivers, the closest distance between the two bays on the Baling Peninsula was only 400 li.
Moreover, it is far from the main port of Persia, that is, the city of Crane Mo, and the port of Hormuz near the Strait of Hormuz in later generations, which is the port where the fleet of the Tang Dynasty mainly unloads goods.
It is about 3,000 miles away, and if it is the closest port in Persia, it is less than 2,000 miles. With Li Ke's current speed of the ship, if it only takes about four days to arrive day and night, even if the weather is bad, five days will definitely arrive.
At present, the area occupied by this area is large enough to be developed into a good overseas base, a material transfer station, and there are iron ore, limestone mines, coal mines, etc., although the reserves are ordinary, but for this era, it is too sufficient.
Since the port is sufficient, and the natural bay acts as a harbor, it is safe from storms, and there is enough cargo to be loaded and unloaded here, and there is a river next to it, and it is more convenient to replenish fresh water resources. After finalizing this place, Li Ke decided to wait here, the war has not started yet, and now Persia still looks down on Arabia very much, and if Persia does not lose something, how can he buy things.
Another reason is that he has to wait here for the reaction of the Ring Sun Dynasty, and he is also going to ask the other party for a "bandit" fee, I will go all the way to help you exterminate the pirates, and you won't give me the fee? How can this work.
Li Ke didn't wait too long, five days later, Ah Shunluo had already arrived here, and after informing him of his identity as the envoy of the king of the sun, Li Ke met him at this port.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty." Ah Shunluo saluted Li Ke in the broken Tang dialect and spoke.
