Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 919 A ​​Helper Is Here

There is one more thing in the city of Athens that the ladies crave.

Princess Datang's afternoon tea invitation letter, there are only seven tea parties every ten days, and only seven invitations are released each time.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the tripartite negotiations are still wrangling over some details.Liu Mu, who was playing baseball with the guards in the open space, suddenly saw the clerk of the city lord's mansion of Athens running towards him, sweating profusely.

"Drink some water, what's the hurry?"

Liu Mu signaled the guard to give the clerk a glass of water.

The clerk was out of breath, and after drinking the water, he said, "A prince, a prince from the Tang Empire, came to Athens from Alexandria."

"Prince?" Liu Muxin said that it had only been a month since he had sent someone to deliver the letter, and even if the distance was calculated, it would have just passed Malacca, how could there be a prince-level figure coming from Datang.

Liu Mu didn't change his clothes. He was wearing his own baseball clothes. He asked someone to prepare his own dress. He got on the carriage and walked to the pier. The clothes were changed on the carriage.

There is a grand welcome ceremony on the pier, although it is hasty but also grand, all the people who are ranked in the city of Athens are here.

When Liu Mu arrived at the pier and saw the people on the pier, Liu Mu was even more puzzled.

Li Daozong.

Not only Li Daozong, but also Li Junxian behind him, the very trusted general Liang Jianfang during the Qin Dynasty, and the Turkic general Zhili Sili.There is also Zheng Rentai, the governor who is in charge of the route from the Tang Dynasty to East Rome, and more than ten middle-level generals who are brave and outstanding in the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Mu participated in the welcome ceremony, and then said to the city lord of Athens: "There will be a banquet tonight, 24 cold dishes and [-] hot dishes. You must come. There is enough wine."

Tang cuisine has conquered all the nobles in the Mediterranean.

After the important figures in Athens City left, the smile on Liu Mu's face disappeared in an instant, and the guards around him quickly opened the cordon around. Li Daozong waved his hand, and the people behind him also retreated a little.

At this time, those who can stand beside Li Daozong and talk to Liu Mu must not be lower than the third rank.

Li Daozong spoke first: "It seems that something unexpected happened to us. A few months ago, when you first arrived here, you wrote a letter back to Chang'an saying that the Roman emperor gifted a hundred miles of land, half a port and half a canal It belongs to Datang, so the sage sent us here."

Liu Mu replied: "The facts have changed. I want to occupy more space. It just so happens that General Li is here. How many troops did you bring?"

Li Junxian said: "I brought three hundred riders, but only fifty horses. There are enough ordnance, and it is not a problem to equip 3000 men."

Liu Mu asked again: "What level of ordnance?"

"Acropolis-level ordnance."

Datang's ordnance is divided into grades, which are Shence grade, Zhengyuan grade, Weicheng border army grade, state capital patrol grade, and county guard grade.

"General Li, rest for two days and use your fifty heavy cavalry to let them see our majesty." Liu Mu said to Li Daozong after speaking to Li Junxian: "Second brother-in-law, I have sent a letter back to Chang'an, please call the three thousand guards. Elites come here, for my route, no matter who they are, they will fight to death."

"Three thousand! Is it enough?"

"Not on the battlefield, but responsible for training the army here, and then we will sell ordnance, distribute loot, etc. Jiang Ke is leading people to negotiate the details, and we have been negotiating for a month. That's right."

Liu Mu stretched his strength and thought: "Since you are here, do you bring many people with you? No matter how many people there are, help me train an assault light cavalry."

Liu Mu talked endlessly, Zhili Sili and Li Junxian didn't understand, but they didn't ask.

They came because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked them to come, just to protect the interests of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter who they fight, as long as there is a battle to fight.

Feng Hou paid homage to the prime minister by relying on the knife in his palm and dismounting from the horse.

After entering the castle that Liu Mu temporarily borrowed in Athens, all the civil and military personnel who came this time came to Liu Mu's study.

Liu Mu reached out and tore off a huge piece of white cloth, and a huge hand-painted map hung on the wall: "This is the New Canal, this is called Djibouti, and it is a transit port that I begged for. There is no name here, and the Persians are willing." Here to build a port. And here..."

Liu Mu slapped Mogadishu heavily.

"Do you know how many precious goods I have hoarded here? The Kingdom of Saracens is planning to invade the two kingdoms of Rome and Sassan. As the important trading objects of these two kingdoms, does anyone think that the majesty of the Tang Dynasty can make Sara Sen doesn't even dare to move my Datang's ship?"

Liu Mu threw a bunch of materials on the table: "Look, here are all kinds of materials collected from the three kingdoms here. The Saracen power has already been established, so what if I bombard their capital with a thousand cannons? Let us become deadly enemies, how many soldiers and horses can my Tang Dynasty call in?"

Liu Mu is recognized as a strategic master by Datang.

This point was recognized by the Tang military from top to bottom, including the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty.

"I want ordnance, unlimited ordnance."

Willow's finger slid to the north again: "Here, there are countless barbarians in the eyes of the Romans. The Eastern Rome wants to restore the glory of the old Rome. Don't look at the Visigothic Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom. They still have respect for Heraclius. But given the chance I have no doubts that they will annex East Rome."

Liu Mu took out a few small pictures: "This is the result of the investigation. In the past 70 years, Eastern Rome has continuously lost land and lost control of many dependent countries."

Li Daozong asked Liu Mu at this time: "Why did you choose to support Rome instead of those emerging powers."

"Trust my choice." Liu Mu didn't explain.

At this time, Li Daozong asked as the second brother-in-law, and Liu Mu would still say that he believed in my choice. If Li Daozong used the identity of King Yan, Liu Mu would probably not say a word.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has already issued several secret orders.

The content of the secret order is completely consistent. Outside of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if the general secretary needs to use force to guarantee the trade route, everything will be decided by Liu Mu. Unless there is a major tactical error, no refutation is allowed.

Li Daozong didn't ask any more questions, and signaled everyone to change their clothes, and the banquet was about to begin.

After the banquet lasted for two days, Li Junxian got a supplement of [-] Arabian horses, which were lent to Liumu by the city guard of Athens. They said it was a loan, and it was unlikely that Liumu would return it. In the future, the horses would be settled with ordnance .

There is not much interest in the silk business. The profit of silk seems to be high, but the merchants in the Mediterranean are not purely stupid. become huge profits.

Liumu does not engage in business with huge profits, the profits are too low.

In the evening of the next day, Liu Mu saw his second sister, who came on the same boat as Baoqin.
