Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 932 The Reasonable Person

Liu Mu's bad attitude made the Gulaixi nobles very dissatisfied.

At that moment, someone from the Gulaixi family drew a knife. Before the knife was raised, his arm was cut off with the knife.

The person who was cut didn't even see clearly who cut him. The willow guards next to him still maintained their original posture, standing straight, with one hand on the handle of the knife.

"You can go away, let your master come if you want to negotiate."

The guests were driven away, and they swore to pay for this humiliation with swords and willows.

The old wolf came in and asked: "They seem to be quite sincere. The gift list and the contract they prepared are quite sincere."

Liu Mu spread his hands helplessly: "What can I do, our King Yan wants to conquer that canyon, there is a place that can barely be regarded as a city, and it was run by the Gulaixi family as early as more than 100 years ago, that is, a few days ago They were defeated by the Arabs, and the Quraishi family turned to the Arabs."

The old wolf said he didn't understand: "What's so special about that canyon?"

After Liu Mu thought for a while, he asked someone to bring a map: "There are two roads from the Mediterranean Sea to the sea here. One is the canal we are building now, taking the Nile River and the canal to the Red Sea."

"En." Old Wolf nodded. He has traveled the whole way and seen it with his own eyes.

"The other road is also more important. From the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean through the Tigris River and the Euphrates River. In fact, this is also the reason why Eastern Rome fought to the death with the Persian Sassanid Kingdom. Brother Wolf can be understood as the Spice War. It's triggered by the spice."

"It's just for the coins." The old wolf expressed his understanding.

Liu Mu added: "It's not entirely true. Spices are as important as salt to Mediterranean people. It's like we cut off the tea business on the grasslands."

"Understood, this must be played."

"Then, the Red Sea is controlled by the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Persian Gulf is in the hands of the Sassanid Kingdom. Then, when it comes to the sea, it is the power of the Arabian Saracens Kingdom. They will fight to the death against the silk in our hands, until it is defeated. There will be a truce if one or two families die. Everything is for money."

The old wolf said that he could understand that the Xiongnu and Turks, they kept going south to figure out what, whether it was slaves, grain, salt, etc., can be attributed to silver with Liu Mu's explanation.

Liu Mu said again: "I brought Dugu Shura's East Sea Fleet here."

"Why?" Old Wolf exclaimed.

In the old wolf's mind, the three thousand magical guards are regarded as a powerful individual regiment in Datang, that is, a strong tactical army.

The East China Sea Fleet is different. In terms of the positioning of the Ministry of War, the East China Sea Fleet is a strategic force.

Before the old wolf came, he had already seen the new battleship of the East China Sea Fleet. According to the craftsmen, it was already the pinnacle of wooden sailing ships for combat. The artillery can be equipped with a maximum of 48 pieces. Even if it is lightly equipped, [-] pieces There are twenty guns on one side, four on the front and back.

That is, twenty artillery pieces on one side are placed in a certain port, and it only takes one stick of incense to destroy that port.

Liu Mu grinned: "It's not the King Yan's fault."

"It belongs to him again, you should just say why!"

The old wolf heard it, Li Daozong only said attack, and Liu Mu said occupation.These are two different strategic meanings.

This will use Li Daozong as an example again, the old wolf will definitely not believe it.

Willow said: "When the Arabs have no way to expand to the north, lose their trade routes, and lose the opportunity to get wine, weapons, spices, and slaves, they have only one choice, which is to go to sea and go south. What we control now is like Mogadi. Sand and Spice Bay will become fat in their eyes."

The old wolf asked back: "Could it be that in the eyes of the Romans, the eyes of the Persians are not fat?"

"I only said that I was an ally with them. I didn't say that I was a friend with them, and I didn't say that I was not an enemy with them. Everything that stops me from digging money is an enemy."

"I agree." Lao Lang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he felt more and more that Liu Mu was outstanding.

When I was in Sanyuan County, Chang'an, Liumu was like a doormat.

But one who left the land of Tang Dynasty, Liu Mu's fangs are extremely sharp, and he can bite the enemy's vitals every time.

Liu Mu was about to brag a few words, when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle outside the door, followed by a rapid drum beat.Hearing this voice, Liu Mu and Lao Lang's expressions changed drastically. This was a signal for Datang to urgently summon soldiers when he encountered an enemy.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Mu, Lao Lang, Hemelitz and several slave generals were all standing in front of the military supplies warehouse.

Soldiers fighting is not a big deal, but the language barrier makes this trouble escalate.

"Tell me, what happened?" Liu Mu first asked a bloody slave soldier.

"I said, I want that suit of armor, but he can only have mine. After a few arguments, I couldn't understand what he was talking about, and it was my first punch."

Liu Mu likes this slave soldier, and he didn't shirk his responsibility. The punishment for attacking first is extremely severe.

Liu Mu motioned for both sets of armor.

Allotted to this soldier is the armor that was replaced, repaired and added a supplementary Xuanjia military armor. If it weren't for the appearance of willow wood, this kind of armor is the best armor in Datang, and the production cost is higher than that of Mingguang armor. .

Another set of armor is the wild goose feather armor for export.

"Understood, this time the matter is handled as follows. General Hemelitz's subordinates can choose ten people, and the logistics team can also choose ten people. Each side will be issued with a short stick. When one side all falls to the ground, there will be nothing to do." Stop, the whole team on the downed side is responsible for apologizing, and the whole team on the standing side carries weight for a [-]-mile cross-country run."

Liu Mu's explanation made all the soldiers a little confused.

At this time, Liu Mu said to the soldiers in the logistics battalion in Chinese: "Their custom is that black is unlucky, and red is the color of soldiers. That's it. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, respect the customs and habits of all ethnic groups and families. If you don't know, it is no fault. Those who know have had it."

Liu Mu said to the slave soldiers again in Greek: "This black armor was once worn by the best soldiers of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Black represents water, and it is also the color of the armor of the Qin army in ancient times. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, we respect each soldier. Clans, the customs and habits of each family, those who don’t know have no faults, those who know have faults.”

"Now, go and fight, I will give you twenty jugs of good wine in private."

The old wolf secretly gave Liu Mu a thumbs up.

Hemelitz bowed slightly to Liumu with the etiquette of his own clan.

"It's a bet, one pays one." The old wolf shouted, attracting countless people to run.

The slave soldiers came from various ethnic groups, and Hemelitz's cavalry was divided into three battalions, namely the Slav Cossack cavalry, the Dacian cavalry, and the Persian cavalry.

The Dacians originally belonged to Rome. After the fall of Western Rome, they were annexed by the Avars and began to fight against Eastern Rome with the Avars.
