The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 489 Smoke rising from ancestral graves

And Frank is the best at learning. They sent a large number of people to study the advanced culture of the Central Plains in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, and then moved to the mainland.

It really works. The Franks have become more and more aggressive in the past two years, and their hearts are swelled.

In terms of relations with Western countries, Frank was indeed Datang's best ally.

Li Chengdao even guessed that if Frank's strength hadn't been improving every year, the country of Sina might not have come to the principality to find someone to unite with.

Although Minister Xina's Tang dialect was a little stiff, he could still continue: "The Ossan area was originally our country's undisputed territory. Now Frank invaded before the principality was established, claiming that it is their territory and ours." The Council of Elders is very angry. Our king is very busy all day long for the principality and has not proposed to recover it!"

"We, the Council of Elders, want His Majesty to hear our voices. If this land can be returned to us, we will support the Principality and be honored to be one of them!"

Cen Wenwen frowned after hearing this, and Xiao Yu sighed.

Li Chengdao was furious. Xina Zhen had never given him face before, so he was looking for face here.

The meaning of this is that if Datang helps you get the territory back, you will join. If it doesn't help you get it back, you won't join. Is this a threat or something?

The Presbytery is nothing.

"No, no, no..." Ambassador Frank said loudly: "Dear Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. Our ancestors were active in Osshan thousands of years ago, and our people still live in it. They have occupied it for a long time. our territory!"

"Your Majesty! If you lend something to someone for use for a period of time, does it belong to him forever?"

"Obviously that's not the case. We just take back what's ours. We don't want anything from others, even a stone!"

When the Xina envoy heard this, he was furious and said: "What kind of loan? Do you have an IOU? It is true that your tribe lives there, but don't forget that the majority of the population there are our tribesmen!"

The two started arguing again!

Cen Wenwen said: "Two gentlemen, please be patient. Your Majesty established the Principality to resolve disputes in the world. There is a Principality Dali Temple in the Principality to resolve disputes. Why don't you wait until the Principality is established and then leave it to the Principality Dali Temple to handle it?"

Ambassador Frank said: "This gentleman is absolutely right. We are willing to resolve it within the Dali Temple of the Principality! If the Dali Temple of the Principality decides that we should hand over this territory, our king will definitely abide by it!"

Ambassador Xina said: "I don't agree with this. We want to hear what His Majesty means!"

Everyone could see what he was thinking. Ambassador Xina was just worried that the principality, Dali Temple, would have a better relationship with Frank, and decided that it would be detrimental to him.

"Minister, are you trying to offend His Majesty?"

Minister Xina was stunned and said anxiously: "This country has no intention of offending His Majesty. If Your Majesty does not make a just decision, even if my king promised the Council of Elders, he would not have fulfilled the fairness promised to the Principality."

Li Chengdao said: "Today's breakfast was a bit stiff. My appetite has not been good these days. I just sat for a while and I feel a little tired!"

Eunuch Gao Huai shouted: "Your Majesty, return to the hospital!"

Li Chengdao stood up, turned and walked towards the backyard, while Cen Wenwen and others also walked away.

"I want to calm the world, and all countries should live in harmony around the Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with this? I want to quarrel over some interests!"

Li Xiaodie said: "It's so easy to give what you have in your bowl to others. If the principality is to be effective, it still has a long way to go!"

"You know it all?"

Li Xiaodie nodded: "I heard that part! It's France's fault. Your Majesty established a principality to not allow bullying!"

"I understand! It's just that this Xina person's words are a bit annoying!"

"Let the Dali Temple of the Principality put an end to this matter in the future, but Your Majesty must establish prestige first, otherwise the Dali Temple of the Principality will be built in vain." "Then what should I do according to your words?"

Li Xiaodie smiled slightly: "Your Majesty already knew it, so why bother asking me!"

"Xuan Cen Wenwen!"

Cen Wenwen hurried over, and Li Chengdao asked, "Where is Li Jing now?"

"Your Majesty, there has been no messenger from the Anbei Protectorate in the past few days. Mr. Xiao has sent someone to inquire. I think there should be news in the past few days!"

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Cen Wenwen withdrew.

Li Chengdao ordered Gao Huai to open the map, looked at the map and murmured: "I guess Li Jing should be around Tucson City at this time, which is far away from Xina!"

"Your Majesty can't think about Li Jing whenever something unpleasant happens. He can't handle it alone!"

"What do you say?"

Li Xiaodie said: "You should understand after looking at the map that all countries with a little ability, such as Xina, are near the water. Your Majesty, Li Jing, might as well think about the fleet, they are faster."

Li Chengdao thought for a while, he had a fleet in hand, and he could build a rapid response fleet, but who would command it?

Ran Min is a good choice, but he is going to Japan now.

Although the other generals are capable, they have never fought on the water or at sea. If we are talking about fighting an unfamiliar battle, Wang Xuance is suitable. This man can destroy other people's countries without fighting. It seems that this man has a lot of brains.

Since no one is very familiar with naval battles, let Wang Xuance go!

Thinking of this, he immediately summoned Xiao Yu and asked him to appoint Wang Xuance, who was idle in Chang'an, as General Jinghai. He took over the ships from the Ministry of Industry and built a rapid response fleet.

Each ship is equipped with a thousand elite soldiers.

At this time, the Ministry of Industry was manufacturing a large number of ships day and night according to Li Chengdao's previous design. After Ran Min took over part of it, half of it was still available, but only a hundred or so ships were available.

But Datang's ships are all made of metal. They were designed by the top talents of Datang Academy with reference to Li Chengdao's ideas. They are already the most advanced warships in the world.

It is also equipped with artillery fire. This kind of artillery fire is very simple. It is a fine iron pipe with a medicine chamber inside, which is fired by people.

Xiao Yu drafted an imperial edict according to Li Chengdao's order, and then Li Chengdao stamped it with a jade seal and was immediately sent to Chang'an.

Since Wang Xuance sent the former King Jieri back to Chang'an, he has been doing nothing in the name of General Pingxi. In fact, he has been ignored by the court. He only has the title of general but no actual general.

What is a general without soldiers?

Moreover, he came from out of town and was originally a minor official. Even though he was a nouveau riche, no one made friends with him in Chang'an, so his life was quite miserable.

I sigh and sigh all day long, wishing that I could be appreciated by the emperor.

It wasn't that Li Chengdao didn't appreciate him, but that there was nothing suitable for him to do.

Now it's here. The imperial edict was sent by the governor himself to read it. Wang Xuance was overjoyed when he heard it. Countless people came to the door that day to discuss learning and drinking, and the door became lively.

Wang Xuance did not dare to delay and looked for books about naval battles to read everywhere. He knew that although His Majesty did not ask him to fight anyone, it was easy to see that His Majesty intended for him to shock all countries.

It can be of such great use because the ancestral graves are filled with smoke.
