Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 986 Chivalry and National Fortune

After listening to Liu Mu's words, Feng Zhidai didn't have any good ideas.

What's more, Datang only wants to build a port on the other side of the strait to control the strait, and the rest is not important.

Right now, Datang's population has reached its limit, and it will not be able to expand its territory within ten years.

The Six Edicts was the last battle for land expansion within ten years.

Liu Mu stayed in Temasek. According to the plan brought back by Woodworthy, a few days later the gold fleet armed to the teeth and escorted by Dugu Shura himself appeared in Malacca.

Willow's boat is just across the exit of the Strait of Malacca.

Naturally, a ship can't block the strait, ordinary merchant ships will bypass the port, Dugu Shura knows Liu Mu's boat, and immediately ordered the fleet to enter the Temasek military port.

In Dugu Shura's room in the flagship, the three treasures of the Saracen Kingdom are housed in three iron boxes.

"Go home!" Liu Mu only said these two words from his mouth after seeing the three things.

Dugu Xiuluo ordered to supply immediately, and left the port in the early morning of the next day and went straight to Huating Port. A light fast boat went to Huating first for preparations.Feng Zhidai transferred two battalions of the South China Sea Navy to escort Dugu Shura.

The next day, before the fleet set off, under Dugu Shura's strong request, Liu Mu gave up his own boat and took Dugu Shura's boat.

"Just talk about it!"

Liu Mu didn't need to guess, Dugu Shura must have something to do, otherwise he wouldn't have left himself on the battleship.

"What do you think of that matter? It's about the Roman emperor's letter."

"Benefits, what benefits can we get from this matter, but a little gold is not attractive at all. Unless..." Liu Mu stopped, looking at Dugu Shura with a smile on his face.

Dugu Shura asked anxiously: "Unless what?"

"Unless Chirac has a little ambition to unify the Mediterranean. He just guards the broken place at the door of his house. I might as well support the Visigoth king to become the hegemon of Europe. What I want, what I want is interest, long-term interest. There is no friendship between nations, only interests."

Liu Mu's words completely subverted Dugu Shura's morality.

In Dugu Shura's view, Great Tang and Eastern Rome are friendly states, states of brothers.

"This, this is not good!"

"Although you are an elder brother, I still have to say two words to you very politely."

"What word?"

"madness."

After Liu Mu finished talking about being stupid, he stopped talking, and Dugu Shura sat there for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Liu Mu also ignored Dugu Shura, in fact Liu Mu didn't know how to instill dirty political ideas into the head of Dugu Shura who only knew chivalry.

In foreign wars, chivalry is not impossible, but everything is based on national justice and national interests.

Dugu Xiuluo suddenly felt that Liu Mu was very strange, and he was no longer the same Liu Mu who led eight hundred people into the Turks desperately because of the injury of the Ba Dao.

After three full days of stalemate between the two, Dugu Shura came to look for Liu Mu again.

"I forgot to tell you something. That Viscount Romeo brought many precious Visigothic, ancient Greek, and ancient Egyptian treasures. King Yan granted him a chance to meet the saint with my fleet. It is also a commendation He organized hundreds of noble merchants in the Western Mediterranean to contribute to Datang's overseas trade."

"Romeo is a very important pawn."

Liu Mu finally found an opportunity to speak: "In a word, I want to make him King of the Visigoths!"

Many names flashed across Dugu Shura's mind instantly, and many of these names had disappeared and turned into corpses.

Such as Soga Ezo, Sowa Ling, Hayato Satsuma.

The living ones, Kinderman and Suga Meizi are purely turned into a vase, just for display.

"The first step, he is about to become an earl, the earl of Datang, and own a small piece of land bestowed by Datang. Don't tell me you don't know, he is now a pious Taoist disciple, and his Taoist name is Qingfeng."

Dugu Shura nodded: "I know that among the merchants who followed him, at least 100 of them and their families have their own Dao names."

A smile appeared on Willow's face.

Dugu Shura was also very depressed because of this incident. He said to Liu Mu: "The Tao they understand is somewhat different from the Tao I understand. These bastards have misunderstood the Tao. A businessman thought he was correct. Thinking that being a businessman means trying to be an excellent and great businessman is the original intention of Tao.”

Liu Mu asked back: "Is there something wrong?"

"This……"

Dugu Shura was questioned.

Liu Mu continued: "He must have said that Tao produces all things, and everything is born of Tao. He is also a part of Tao. As a businessman, he guards the Tao of businessmen. His way of business."

Dugu Shura didn't expect Liu Mu to say this, and after listening, he said: "It seems that what he said is what he meant."

Liu Mu pretended to be profound: "I think Romeo is talking about the way of a monarch and his ministers, the way can be said, and the way is very good!"

"If you don't accept it, then find out your master and discuss it."

Dugu Xiuluo's master is Xie Yingdeng. Old Xie no longer wants to be one of the Four Heroes of the Tang Dynasty, nor does he want to be the best arrow in the world. He just wants to be a Taoist priest.

However, Xie Yingdeng seems to have really achieved the right result. Many people in later generations deified him and called him the ancestor of immortals.

Only then did Dugu Shura say: "Then I'll go back and ask my master."

"I'm going to see him too, and by the way, ask Lao Xie to accept a few more disciples, that Romeo is very suitable. If possible, I plan to lure Lao Xie to the Mediterranean Sea, ask him to open an altar to accept disciples, and create a myth in the world Come."

"This..." Dugu Shura was speechless.

While Liumu was still on his way back to Chang'an, the first battle of Liuzhao started.

The first battle started at the same time between Woodwalli and Konoe Tadahito, one marching on the west road and the other on the east road.

Li Ke did not wear the armor specially made for him by Hua Yuan.

There are two reasons.

The gorgeous and special armor is perfect for both command and charge when you are the commander and have the protection of your own soldiers. But here, the gorgeous and special armor is equivalent to telling the enemy that there is a good prey here. bring it on.

Another reason is that Li Ke chose the same armor as Wood and others to show that he is also a sergeant at this time, not the son of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke's plan is not particularly complicated, but in this era of unsophisticated communication, a certain command ability is required to cooperate tacitly.

First send a small team to cross the deep and fast-flowing river quietly at night, then tie dozens of ropes to the big trees on the opposite bank, and sink the ropes into the river.
