Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 763 Unification of Asia and Europe

It is definitely more difficult to tell the big cannibals how to farm than to tell the Byzantines.

Moreover, after they knew that Datang was a two-way acquisition of prisoners of war from Dashi and the Byzantine Empire, they became more defensive towards the Datang envoys.

However, just like when Sun Xiangfu went to Byzantium, Byzantium at that time needed the support of Datang, and now, they are cannibals, and they also need the support of Datang.

So, not to mention delicious food and drink, at least they dare not violate the agreement reached before the mission, making Datang feel dissatisfied.

Because whether they can continue their current affluent life depends on Datang.

Yes, their current life is rich.

Because, by selling prisoners of war, they got a lot of money and supplies from Tang Dynasty, and robbed the treasure houses of various cities of the Byzantine Empire, which also allowed them to get a lot of gold and silver, which was enough for them to squander for a long time.

And when they faced the counterattack of the newly armed Byzantine army, they realized that materials and money may not help them win the war, but will become their drag.

The big cannibals on horseback are the strongest, and the big cannibals who have been dragged off the horse by the extravagant life are no different from people of any other race.

At this time, it was Uthman who served as the caliph of the Great Food. Although he was quite talented in military affairs, he was very greedy for pleasure. Dissatisfaction and conflicts within the sect due to power struggles may erupt at any time. These are points that Datang can take advantage of.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu came here and brought many luxurious and enviable gifts to Osman, and even a luxuriously decorated steam locomotive.

This made Osman very happy. You must know that the previous Heraclius did not receive such treatment. Like him, he did not get high-tech products that Datang did not sell to the outside world.

Therefore, Osman did not have any restrictions on Sun Xiangfu's lectures in the Dashi territory. Soon, the Han culture began to take root in the territory ruled by the Dashiren.

And Heraclius, who got the news of Sun Xiangfu's mission to Dashi, already knew the purpose of Datang. He didn't want Datang to get the support of Datang's weapons and equipment. Therefore, the arrival of Sun Xiangfu accelerated the Byzantine In the empire's counterattack against the big cannibal, Heraclius attempted to cripple the big cannibal in one battle, to the point where in the eyes of Datang, there was no value for support.

Therefore, for more than a year, the two empires fought dozens of battles on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, with a scale of more than 10 people. It was almost a small fight in three days, and a big fight in five days. Osman, and those fanatical church members who complained about him, didn't have the time to pay attention to the extent of what Datang, a large envoy group, did in Dashi territory.

Then, when Osman found that the Great Food Army was about to be unable to withstand the attack of the Byzantine Empire, he chose to let those fanatical believers take their lives. Finally, a rebellion within the Great Food Army was triggered, which made him fall into the middle of the battle. In a desperate situation, he approached Sun Xiangfu.

The result after that was just like Datang’s preset plan. With the support of a group of advanced weapons and equipment from Datang, he quickly quelled the internal rebellion, wiped out those fanatical church members, and led the army , The army of the Byzantine Empire was defeated, and the battle line advanced straight to Ankara, an important town in the south of the Byzantine Empire.

At this time, Heraclius was already in a panic. He didn't expect that the equipment sold by Datang to the outside world was divided into so many levels. The dozens of battles that came and went had already made his loyal subordinates dare to fight. The soldiers were completely lost, and he no longer had enough military power to resist the attack of the big cannibals. Once Ankara fell, the capital Constantinople might not be safe.

At this moment, other than asking Datang for help, he would end up subjugated.

Then, Datang's goal was achieved without any surprise.

Because, from the very beginning, Li Shimin wanted to use the hands of the big cannibal to force-land the Byzantine Empire with a larger population and a higher level of civilization.

When they owed Datang 5000 million yuan in national debt and had no ability to resist the Dashi invasion, instead of continuing to lend them money without a bottom line, they were required to repay the debt.

Li Shimin only gave the only choice for Heraclius, who could not repay the debt, which was to let the Tang army station in Ankara and Constantinople, and Heracloo removed the title of emperor and named him king.

Then, after two or three urgent consultations, this empire with an ancient civilization has since disappeared from the world.

The Tang army entered Ankara and Constantinople within ten days. All the territories of the Byzantine Empire were merged into the Tang Dynasty at the moment the army entered. Later, these lands will be divided into more than [-] by the Zhengshitang. Provinces, for governance.

At this time, Ottoman, who still wanted to continue to attack the Byzantine Empire, was stunned. In just a few days, the Tang Army took over Ankara's front-line defense. As a result, what he would face was the Tang Army's defense line, which was difficult for them to get close to. .

At this time, he received a letter of negotiation in the nature of an ultimatum from Sun Xiangfu.

The document asked him to return the plundered land of the original Byzantine Empire to Datang within the specified time, otherwise, Datang would impose sanctions on Dashi.

After understanding the meaning of this negotiation letter, Osman was even more confused. Although Dashi had obtained a lot of benefits from Datang before.However, they are two empires after all, and it is ridiculous that Datang would use the word sanction.

He can stop the continued attack on the old land of Byzantium, which is already a face for Datang, but it is impossible to return the territory.

Then, Sun Xiangfu broke up with him, and began to lead the members of the mission to evacuate to his country.

Under the instigation of his trusted confidant, Osman wanted to detain Sun Xiangfu and the mission, but he didn't want to. The mission had already embarked on a passage that they could not even imagine, and quickly marched in the opposite direction of Datang's existing territory. On the coast of Dashi, I boarded the fleet that the navy had been waiting here for a long time.

Of course, this journey was not easy. The mission received help from many cannibals who had been favored by them in the past year. At the beginning of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Sun Xiangfu went ashore at Bushehr Wharf and traveled northward. , came to the place where Li Shimin temporarily set up camp, probably the area around the city of Tehran in later generations.

Here, more than 60 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have gathered, including more than 2 cannons of different calibers, more than 3000 steam chariots with steel shells, and countless other new weapons and equipment.

Sun Xiangfu was actually not interested in watching this nearly flat-out war, but he wanted to prevent the war from harming the common people as much as possible, so Li Shimin appointed him an official position as the commander of the war zone and did not command Combat is responsible for gathering the people in the areas captured by the army and re-planning their lives.

With the mobilization of 60 Tang troops, the Great Unification War broke out.

Under the attack of firearms and equipment, the big cannibals had little possibility of counterattacking. After a few frontal battles with Tang Jun with huge losses, they were in a retreat. Later, Sun Xiangfu even stopped Instead of using cannons to bombard the city where there are not many big cannibals, they used the method of persuading them to surrender.

It has to be said that his mouth is better than a cannon. The army advanced all the way to the Arabian Peninsula, and there was no city that he could not open the door. It was not until they arrived at Medina, the capital of food, that there was an accident.

Under Sun Xiangfu's repeated persuasion, Osman was still stubborn, and Tang Jun finally chose to attack by force.

In the summer of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Osman was hit by Tang Jun’s artillery shells in Medina, and he died. The Eurasian continent officially entered the period of great unification. After Li Shimin received the battle report ahead, he left Sun Xiangfu to continue to lead the Great War. In the food area, I myself will start to drive back to the dynasty.

In this world, if anyone is said to be the best at tidying up Dashi's stalls, then it must be Sun Zhengming, and Li Shimin's return to Chang'an is also to plan and arrange the future for this new world structure.

Because, in the future, people's lives will be completely changed. There will be no foreign enemies, and there will be no more arms races. The focus should be on how to live well.

The responsibilities of the soldiers will be those proposed by Sun Xiangfu before, focusing on various rescue guarantees.

Various welfare items and taxation structures also need to be changed. When the taxes collected by the court are for the common people, in fact, the role of the court is to balance the interests of the common people.

Before launching the war, Li Shimin had many ideas about various changes in direction. Of course, many of them were based on Sun Xiangfu's opinions. There may be a process for these changes to be implemented. Shi leads the local people to plant the land and do infrastructure construction, while waiting for the end of this process so that he can go home and enjoy life.

The new Chang'an City, which has been built as a whole, is so big that you can't see it with a telescope. It has become the center of the world in a veritable name.

In the early morning, the death knell sounded, and Fang Xuanling, a virtuous prime minister of a generation, passed away on August 22, the [-]nd year of Zhenguan.

His last memorial before his death was delivered to the gate of Daming Palace by his eldest son Fang Yizhi with both hands. People, read it aloud.

The content of his recitation is not complicated. Please invite the first emperor who has pacified the universe and truly realized the unification of the world, Li Shimin, to add the title of "Human Emperor" and be the father of all human beings in the world.

Then, this quickly became the common wish of tens of thousands of people who gathered in front of the Daming Palace, and with their cries, more and more residents of Chang'an City were alarmed, and more and more people also began to go to court. Gathered in front of the gate of Daming Palace.

One hundred thousand, one million, even two million, three million.

Now, there are more than 500 million people surrounded by the new city wall that is hundreds of miles long. There is the biggest excitement in the world to watch, and who doesn't want to come out and take a look.

In the Daming Palace, the court bell was ringing, and all the officials above the seventh rank in Beijing rushed to the palace one after another. There were tens of thousands of them, and the hall of the world's largest palace was squeezed to the brim.

Li Shimin hadn't uttered the words of delay, in the hall, starting from Prince Li Chengqian, tens of thousands of officials bowed to the ground, begging him to comply with public opinion and add the title of 'Human Emperor'.

Although everyone knows in their hearts that this is a play, but the people who kicked off the prelude to this play are important enough, and the people who participated in and played the roles of this play are also important enough. Therefore, the result of this play , is required to succeed.
