Chapter 675: Incorporating Persia into the Territory

With these 100,000 troops, Abbas felt confident and ordered his troops to shoot after the Tang Dynasty airship entered the arrow range.

But as the latest product improved by the Ministry of Industry, how could the airship be afraid of mere bows and arrows? Most of the arrows shot at the airship only splashed some electric sparks and could not cause any harm to the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

At this time, Abbas still didn't know what Persia was facing.

After the airship descended to a suitable altitude, 50,000 innate realm warriors on the airship flew down.

In an instant, wolves joined the flock of sheep, and a one-sided massacre took place in the capital of the Persian king.

After five years of development, there are now countless soldiers in the Tang Dynasty who have reached the Xiantian realm of martial arts.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers who possessed innate martial arts skills had already surpassed the level of ordinary people.

The Persian soldiers were horrified to find that their swords could not cause any harm to the Tang soldiers, and that they had amazing physical strength and seemed to know no fatigue.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty soldiers ruthlessly reaped the lives of Persian soldiers.

Finally, the Persian soldiers collapsed. This was an unequal war.

Once the army is defeated, even the most outstanding generals cannot save it.

Soon, the Tang soldiers attacked the Persian capital with great force.

At this time, Abbas had already realized how big a mistake he had made. He still wanted to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty, but the swords of the Persian Kingdom could not break through the defense of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

In a short while, the Persian King Abbas was captured by the Tang soldiers.

Abbas's defense of the capital was a disastrous defeat.

In the square of the Persian King's capital, the Persian King Abbas Mianlian was surrounded in despair by a group of Tang soldiers. He looked at the Tang soldiers who descended from the sky like divine soldiers with some shock, and finally chose to kneel down under the Tang flag.

With his surrender, the last piece of the puzzle of the Tang Dynasty's unification of the world has been completed. Li Zheng has achieved something that no emperor of any dynasty has been able to achieve.

With the fall of Su Zhi and the King of Persia, the Tang Dynasty's already unstoppable offensive accelerated again, and other city-states throughout Persia fled.

They had little intention of resisting in the first place, and only chose to fight against the Tang Dynasty because of Abbas's existence.

As the Tang army shouted that the Persian king had fallen, they naturally lost the will and meaning to resist.

In the end, the entire territory of Persia was occupied by the Tang Dynasty at a terrifying speed.

Thanks to the existence of radio today, the news quickly spread back to the Tang Dynasty's capital, Peking.

In the council hall, Li Zheng was busy handling government affairs.

Now that he has fully taken over all the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian is very happy. He has retired to the second line and entered into retirement life ahead of schedule.

Li Zheng, who truly accepted the current political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, finally understood Li Chengqian's pain in his heart. At the same time, he also understood how much effort Li Chengqian had silently devoted to him and the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zheng felt that even if he personally went into battle and fought the enemy, he would not be so exhausted. After handling government affairs every day, Li Zheng felt as exhausted as if he had fought with tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Fortunately, Qin Wan'er was there. With a touch of her soft and boneless little hand, Li Zheng felt that most of the fatigue of the day had disappeared.

"Your Majesty, the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice are requesting to see you outside the palace."

Wang De’s voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng raised his head and rubbed his sore eyes. Even though he had advanced martial arts skills, he still felt his vision blurry.

After calming down, Li Zheng spoke to Wang De.

"Let them in."

A moment later, six ministers headed by Zheng Xuan arrived together.

Li Zheng looked up at the six pillars of the Tang Dynasty. They all had smiles on their faces, as if there was some happy event.

As the six ministers entered the hall, they bowed respectfully to Li Zheng. Zheng Xuan, the Minister of War, was the first to speak to Li Zheng. "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Seeing everyone's extraordinary attitude, Li Zheng had some guesses in his mind, but he still wanted to wait for Zheng Xuan to confirm it himself.

"Why should I be happy?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, news has come from the front that the King of Persia has been defeated by our Tang soldiers and captured. The rest of the Persian city-states are also under the control of our Tang."

Zheng Xuan paused, calmed down his excitement, and continued.

"Your Majesty, now our Tang Dynasty has unified the world and the whole world is united."

Even though Li Zheng had guessed it long ago, he was still a little shocked by the speed of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

He thought that in such a short period of time, it would be good enough to capture the King of Persia using the airship, but he did not expect that he had already captured the entire territory of Persia.

When he thought about achieving the goal he had been working for for more than ten years, Li Zheng couldn't help but feel excited.

"Hahaha, ok, ok!"

Li Zheng on the throne suddenly stood up and laughed twice. He felt that all the fatigue from handling government affairs for a day disappeared, and his whole body was filled with strength.

It is true that people feel refreshed when happy events happen to them.

Seeing Li Zheng so excited, the six ministers of the Grand Palace bowed at the same time.

"I congratulate you on behalf of the Tang Dynasty and on behalf of Your Majesty."

Wang De, who was standing by, also hurriedly prepared a yellow imperial edict and waited by the side.

He understood that this imperial edict was undoubtedly one of special significance. As a close figure around Li Zheng, he naturally felt deeply honored.

"Draft an edict to announce to the world that the Tang Dynasty has unified the world and become the true empire on which the sun never sets. This news must be spread to every city in the world."

Li Zheng was already a little crazy with joy. As for the content of the imperial edict, someone would naturally reorganize it. Wang De only needed to understand Li Zheng's meaning.

"Also, pass down the decree that all vassal states and colonies under the rule of the Tang Dynasty will have their country names abolished and will be called prefectures instead. The original kings will all be changed to prefecture lords."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang De respectfully accepted the imperial edict and retreated.

He needs to implement this matter quickly.

Within half a day, Li Zheng's decree had spread to all parts of the world with Beiping as its center.

Billions of people in the Tang Dynasty will receive this exciting news.

Peking City.

Teams of Tang Dynasty imperial guards appeared in various busy places in the city. The braver citizens of Peking asked the leaders of the imperial guards.

"General, what happened? Why is it so big?"

Nowadays, the salaries of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are extremely high, and Li Zheng is correspondingly strict in his management of them, so things like bullying others by taking advantage of their power rarely happen.

So now the people are not that afraid of these imperial guards.

And this team of imperial guards was obviously in a good mood today.

"Our Emperor has conquered the Persian Empire in the west."

Someone from the Imperial Guard replied.
