I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 650: The Surrender of the Arab Empire

"According to the decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you barbarians refuse to be educated. Now the Tang Dynasty has deployed 200,000 troops on the border. If you do not submit to the Tang Dynasty within three days, the army will arrive at any time to end your country's prosperity and destroy your ancestral temples."

The voice of the Tang envoy resounded throughout the hall. The aura of one person was so overwhelming that the civil and military officials of the Arab Empire could not even raise their heads.

After a long silence in the hall, Hassan stood up with a heavy face and looked at the ordinary Tang Dynasty envoys without saying a word.

The Tang envoys showed no fear and maintained their morale.

"I have given you three months to make your choice. Everyone, the lesson from the past is right in front of us. Baturu's body is still on the execution ground of my Tang Dynasty."

These words from the Tang envoy became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Hassan's face showed a struggle, but after a moment, the wrinkles on his face slowly relaxed and he sighed as if he had accepted his fate.

"My country, the Arab Empire, is willing to submit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

It seemed as if he had used up all his strength to say this.

After all, human nature is like this. If they can survive in disgrace, not many people would have the courage to fight against the powerful Tang Dynasty soldiers.

The loyal Tang envoy in the hall took in the expressions of the crowd and relaxed. He knew that the surrender of the Arab Empire was a foregone conclusion.

"Very good, you made the most correct choice." The Tang envoy said with satisfaction.

Then he looked at Hassan and said, "Then please hand over your seal, draft your letter of credence, and come with me to the capital of the Tang Dynasty in three days to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"By the way, please ask the king to hand over the military power. Our Tang soldiers will take over the defense of the royal capital."

As the envoy's words reached Hassan's ears, the foreign king seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

After the Tang envoy announced Li Zheng's order, he left the hall. After all, killing people is not a good thing.

Hassan is quite sensible. Now that the matter has been decided, it is not appropriate to oppress him too harshly.

Three days was enough for Hassan to properly deal with the follow-up affairs of the Arab Empire.

After Hassan reluctantly accepted the result of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he did not delay any longer. After arranging the handover of military power, he led the royal members of the Arab Empire and important civil and military ministers on the journey to the Tang Dynasty without even waiting for three days.

As had been shown before, the king of the Arab Empire was more politically wise than Baturu of the Kushan Empire.

Since you have already decided to submit to the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to procrastinate. Submission directly will win the favor of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang envoys also expressed their appreciation for the cooperation of King Hassan of the Arab Empire.

It's always a pleasure to deal with smart people.

And at this moment, in John's country, far away on the other side of the ocean.

The new Queen of Johan lives in a huge and magnificent classical castle. This castle is not only the Queen’s residence but also the political power center of the entire Johan.

The young queen has golden curly hair, deep blue eyes, and fair skin. She wears a classic yet majestic long dress, giving people a sense of inviolability.

In a huge room in the castle, the young queen was frowning at the letter in her hand.

This was a report from the Governor of the Delhi Sultanate. "The mysterious and corrupt ancient country in the East slaughtered the soldiers of my country of John..." The queen couldn't help but fall into deep thought after reading the letter.

To be precise, this letter from Davis, the Governor of Delhi Sultan, was not addressed to Her Majesty the Queen.

This letter should have been handled by her mother, the previous Queen of John, but just two months ago, Her Majesty the previous Queen passed away.

Her Majesty's funeral was complicated, so it was only now that the young Queen had time to deal with this letter.

The young Victoria had just ascended the throne, and the power of the Kingdom of John was widely distributed. Unlike the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty whose words were law, Queen Victoria had just ascended the throne and her power was not yet stable.

There are even signs that the great nobles are uniting to fight against the authority of Her Majesty the Queen.

Today, the Kingdom of John has already begun to colonize the world. If she can conquer the ancient and corrupt empire mentioned in the letter from the Governor of the Delhi Sultanate, her prestige will surely be able to suppress those nobles who are ready to make moves.

After pondering for a moment, Victoria looked at the letter in her hand and made a decision in her heart.

The next day, the young Queen Victoria summoned the ministers of John's country to discuss the matter.

In a huge conference hall that can accommodate thousands of people.

Queen Victoria sat on the queen's throne in the center, looking majestically at the nobles below.

"Everyone, I think you have all read Davis' letter. The Tang Kingdom in the east slaughtered our soldiers and took away Burma, which was supposed to be our colony. Tell us what you think."

After Victoria finished speaking, the meeting room fell into silence for a short time.

The main reason is that John's Country is far away from the Tang Dynasty across the ocean, and the people of John's Country don't know much about this country that generally only exists in legends.

After a while, John's finance minister, Cannon, spoke first: "The Tang State killed our soldiers and robbed John's territory. Of course, we can't let them go easily. However, the Tang State is far away from us, so we have to think long and hard about conquering it."

This is the conservative faction.

"The distance is not that of the royal court. Our Great John Kingdom has strong ships and powerful artillery. Moreover, we can use the Delhi Sultanate as the main force to conquer the Tang Kingdom, and we don't need to send troops directly."

Immediately, the ministers holding the two opinions started arguing with each other.

"Governor Davis mentioned in his letter that the Tang Kingdom is weak, and its emperor is incompetent and ambitious. In addition, the Tang Kingdom has been severely damaged by its attack on Burma. This is a good time for our Great John Kingdom to conquer it."

"My dear ministers, the porcelain, tea and other things from the Tang Dynasty are good things. If my country John can successfully conquer the Tang Dynasty, the benefits we will get will be incalculable." Queen Victoria said.

The young queen's words were undoubtedly extremely destructive, and the nobles of John's country in the conference hall were also very excited.

Although the Tang Dynasty and John's Kingdom were far apart, there were still many caravans and countless adventurers who either crossed the ocean or transported the Tang Dynasty's exquisite porcelain and mellow tea to John's Kingdom through the Silk Road.

Anything that comes from this ancient empire in the East is a rare treasure in the entire John Kingdom and the entire Western world.

Thinking of the huge profits that would be brought by conquering this Eastern Empire, all the nobles, big and small, could no longer sit still.

In the end, the war faction prevailed, and this result was of course due to the instigation of Queen Victoria.

Of course, the proud people of John would never allow anyone to stop them, nor would they believe that anyone could stop the expansion of the Great John Nation.
