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

Chapter 490 Only one month left

On the one hand, he contacted the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to ask for soldiers, but he only asked for 10,000 soldiers.

Wang Xuance was indeed a talented person. With his dedicated efforts, he established a naval team in just three months.

He has 10,000 troops and 120 warships under his command. According to the supervision of the country, he is stationed in Linzhou Prefecture.

Wang Xuance trained his troops day and night, just waiting for the imperial decree to come.

Li Chengdao issued an imperial edict to Wang Xuance, and he was a little bit confused in his heart about whether this person could do it.

Li Xiaodie smiled and said: "Don't trust the person you employ! It doesn't matter whether he can do it or not. If he doesn't, just change him. You have to let him try it a few times first!"

Li Chengdao also felt that although Datang was strong, it was still a little powerless.

There are so many countries in the world, but just relying on Ran Min and Wang Xuance would be a drop in the bucket.

"How is Ran Min doing now?"

Gao Huai said: "According to the schedule, General Ran should have arrived in Japan, but the Ministry of War and the Supervisor have not received the battle report!"

Speaking of the Japanese country, Cen Wenwen came in and reported: "Your Majesty! The minister of the Liugui Kingdom suddenly turned back on his way to Guangzhou. I heard that he will not come!"

"Do you know the reason?"

"I heard that the King of Ruki Kingdom had a secret meeting with the Emperor of Japan a month ago! Ichen guessed that it was Japan that exerted pressure. This Ruki Kingdom is close to Japan, and the two countries have contacts with each other. Ruki Kingdom has always put pressure on Japan. The Japanese state is the suzerain state, so it is natural for him to have this idea."

“How many countries are there now?”

In order to cope with the emperor's questions and fear that they would not be able to answer the questions, the ministers would put some important things on an ivory board and hold them in their hands, called the court wat.

There is no imperial wat here, but Cen Wenwen has already prepared it. He took out a pamphlet and said: "Those who have arrived now include Chenla, Pyu Kingdom, Boni, Champa, Sinhala, Chalukya Kingdom, and Phra Wa." , Arab Empire, Frankish, Sina, Volga-Bulgar Khanate, Liuqiu. Your Majesty intends to annex Goryeo, but they did not send anyone!"

"As for Tianzhu, the King Guizhu said that the Tang Dynasty will replace them!"

"The rest are all small countries, and some of them have sent envoys!"

Li Chengdao nodded and said to Gao Huai beside him: "How much time do I have for Ran Min?"

Li Chengdao once limited Ran Min to three months to conquer the Japanese. Gao Huai nodded his orchid finger and said, "There is still one month left!"

"My grand principality is a principality in the world, especially the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty that are close to me. They must participate, so I will consider postponing the founding meeting of the principality for another month!"

"Yes! I will inform you immediately!"

"Is there anything else?"

Cen Wenwen said: "When Mr. Xiao went to Guangzhou, he once told me that the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty need to pay attention to it, and I also believed that it was true. Minister Pulawa and the Kingdom of Chalouqi also seemed a little unhappy and wanted to see your majesty! "

"what is going on?"

It turns out that Chalouqi was the largest country in the area besides Tianzhu. After Tianzhu was occupied by the Tang Dynasty, he took advantage of the situation and occupied some places in Tianzhu. This was before Li Rui went to Tianzhu.

When Chalukya's army went to Tianzhu, they were afraid that Plava would take the opportunity to regain the land in the south, so they went out to threaten him. Phalawa, to show that he had no intention of regaining the lost land, handed over his prince to Chalukchi as a hostage.

So Zheluoqi felt relieved and went to take back several of his cities that had been occupied by Tianzhu. The cities were taken back, but he didn't expect that Li Jing ordered him to return them to Tianzhu.

So they sent troops, hurt money and people, and ended up in vain.

Perhaps Chalukya was very depressed. When he wanted his prince back, he actually asked him to cede three cities. Plawa was not convinced, but he couldn't beat him, so he delayed until the principality was established, so the ambassador wanted to meet Li Chengdao.

This is obviously to redress a grievance.

Li Chengdao said: "The Grand Duchy has the Duchy Dali Temple, why are you looking for me?"

Cen Wenwen said: "After the principality was established, it would still take some time to establish the principality Dali Temple. And Chalukya also knew that after the principality was established, it would be troublesome to ask for a city, so he pressed hard and asked Plava to Hand over the city now.”

"Pelawa is close to the sea. His Majesty is building a large naval force. I suggest that Pelawa be given some benefits so that General Jinghai will have a place to stay on the way."

"Then let Minister Zhelouqi come over and let me talk to him!"

Cen Wenwen resigned, turned around and brought in Minister Zhelouqi.

"I heard that you took someone's prince into custody and refused to return it?"

"Your Majesty!" Minister Zhelouqi was anxious. "Your Majesty is very aware. He gave this prince to us. Now there must be an explanation for returning it. I heard that His Majesty is compassionate and discerning. Small countries like us don't. It’s easy, but people’s lives are hard!”

Gao Huai next to him wanted to laugh when he heard this. This man also had two brushes. He didn't talk about the main topic, but just talked about useless things to prevaricate.

If this man were allowed to become an official, he might become rich immediately and be a first-class flatterer.

"Furthermore, these three cities are our country's territory. They promised to give them to us ten years ago! Your Majesty, the king of a country cannot keep his words. We are willing to return his son to him, but we still ask His Majesty to return the cities to us. ! Let’s thank God!”

After saying that, I bowed down!

It made Li Chengdao feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay! I am the one who makes the decision. If the Dali Temple in the Principality of these three cities is determined to be yours, then Perawa must hand over the cities. But now that you have detained the prince, it is a bit rude. Give them back!"

"Your Majesty!" Minister Zhelouqi said anxiously: "I heard that your Majesty is going to build a road. My king has distributed 30,000 slaves for the use of the Tang Dynasty. They are already on the road. He also presented 3,000 taels of gold and silver and a national treasure stupa for your majesty to appreciate. , we are the only ones in this world who are His Majesty’s loyal ministers!”

He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. This incident made Li Chengdao a little embarrassed.

Next to him, Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty! As I see it, Chalouqi no longer wants these three cities. How about giving Chalouqi a principality ambassadorship under the Dali Temple of the principality?"

According to the principality system, the Dali Temple of the principality adjudicates any dispute in the world. No one knows that the position of Minister of Dali Temple is sent by the Tang Dynasty court, but below it is a department of the principality, which is filled by people from various countries.

His duty is to provide opinions on the judgment of the case and investigate and collect evidence for the Dali Temple of the Principality.

Therefore, the ambassador of this principality has considerable power and can even influence the direction of a country.

After all, the Minister of Dali Temple of the Principality has to judge the case based on their evidence.

There are 120 principal ambassadors in Dali Temple, 60 of them are in Tang Dynasty, and 10 are in Byzantium. Many other countries have no share, even smaller countries.

Before the principality was established, these national envoys were already running around trying to win one.

This is a scarce resource. Everyone thinks that if they get one, their own country's interests will be fully protected in the future, and they can even benefit others.

In this way, the position of an envoy of a principality is more attractive than that of three cities.

What's more, these three cities were not his in the first place.

When Minister Zhelouqi heard this, he immediately saluted and said: "Minister Cen is absolutely right. Our king has wanted to talk to your majesty about this man for a long time, but he has no chance!"
