Chapter 4839: Framing the blame
Fu Yulong was confused and confused.
Abu Awar is not a fool. No matter how rebellious a person is, after learning that more than a hundred warships of the Tang Dynasty are coming across the ocean with great momentum, he must be ready to order the soldiers to hold back and not cause conflicts. Where do they come from so many opportunities?
If you slapped someone in the past, they would not fight back, and even after slapping the left cheek, they would give you the right cheek so that you could slap them freely...
Yang Zhou drank tea slowly and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Then you can find two natives and put them on the boat wearing our military uniforms, then sail the boat forward to negotiate with the big eater, and push the natives in when they are not prepared. The man who drowned in the sea was blamed on the cannibal, and then he gave a stern warning and took the opportunity to attack... making him unable to defend himself. "
Fu Yulong: "..."
This kind of thing was done with Goguryeo and Silla when Baekje was strong in the past. I didn’t expect that the generals of the Tang Dynasty would do this...
Yang Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Why, do you feel it is disgraceful? Or do you feel that you can't bear to harm the lives of the indigenous people like this?"
"No, no, no, as the saying goes, the army only cares about victory. As long as the goal is achieved, any means can be used. Furthermore, the lives of the mere indigenous people are not even as good as cats and dogs. It is a supreme honor to allow them to contribute their lives to the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty! ”
Fu Yulong shook his head like a rattle. He now regarded himself as a complete Tang Dynasty person, inside and out. How could he feel sorry for a few natives? The natives here were quite troublesome when the Tang Army built the Xunda Port. These savage-like natives had no sense of etiquette, justice, shame, and moral standards. They only saw the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. Living was a waste of food and there was no need to exist at all!
Then he rubbed his hands and said with an apologetic smile: "Leave this matter to the last general. I will definitely handle it properly and make the general famous!"
Although he didn't stay at Zhenguan Academy for a long time, he had seen a lot of the Tang Dynasty's military strategies and strategies, and he knew the principles of "a name is justifiable" and "a teacher has a reputation"...
Yang Zhou laughed: "Okay! Let's join hands to do something great on this sea border thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, protect China, promote our country's prestige, and let all the barbarians in the world know that the power of the Tang Dynasty is inviolable! ”
"The general is mighty! The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
*****
Although the fleet traveled far across the ocean and traveled thousands of miles, there were many ports built by the Tang Dynasty Navy on the way to supply supplies, so the damage was not serious. It was rested and renovated in just three days. The artillery, muskets, thunderbolts, and crossbows on the ship passed by All tests can be put into battle, and the "King of Wei" is as high as The three-story deck looks like a giant in the harbor. The racket poles at the bow, stern, and sides of the ship are erected high. This is a sharp weapon in close combat. The iron blocks hanging above can be smashed down with the racket poles. Small ships can be smashed to pieces, and large ships can also be severely damaged. It is better than the Sky Thunder.
Not to mention that the lower deck is equipped with dozens of artillery pieces, and a single salvo can destroy a small fleet...
The fleet was ready to go into battle at any time. Fu Yulong led a warship with dozens of soldiers and sailed northwest along the coast. After passing through the curved waterway, it entered the calm Persian Gulf and drove directly to the northern coast of the bay. Port of Shirov.
Most of the ships heading to Persia for trade from the East sailed along the northern coastline after entering the Persian Gulf from the strait. After arriving at Shirov Port, they sold the goods to Persian merchants who gathered here, and then purchased local goods from here, shipped them back to the East. A few ships continued westward to Wuchang Port in the Mesopotamia.
After the fall of Persia, the Great Food Kingdom occupied this area, which allowed trade to grow. However, due to the heavy taxes imposed on the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty and the killing of merchants of the Tang Dynasty, the merchant ships from the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu and other places were almost extinct, leaving only corpses. The local merchant ships coming in and out of Ruofu Port made the huge port empty and very depressed.
As soon as Fu Yulong's ship arrived at Shirov Port, he saw many warships densely gathered at the port, and several more warships came forward to block it.
"On the order of Tang Dynasty Navy General Yang Zhou, I have come to meet with the Governor of Shirov Port to submit my credentials. You will quickly lead the way and do not obstruct me!"
Fu Yulong stood at the bow of the ship and spoke loudly in Chinese, regardless of whether the person on the other side could understand him or not.
The navy of the Tang Dynasty traveled across the oceans and covered every sea. It had long been strictly ordered to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters no matter which country it negotiated with. It would never accommodate any country. If the country did not understand, it would find an interpreter on its own.
In this way, Chinese language and Chinese characters can be more widely promoted throughout the world. This extremely overbearing military order has been supported by the civil servants in the court, who believe that this is a good deed of "prosperous Chinese culture" and can promote the bathing of hundreds of millions of people in the world. Chinese civilization...
Because of the power of the Tang Dynasty, wherever there were interactions with the Tang Dynasty around the world, there would mostly be interpreters who were proficient in Chinese.
There were obviously people like this on the man-eating warship. After understanding what Fu Yulong said, the general on the ship was sweating profusely and asked the interpreter to come forward and shout: "Since it is a negotiation between two countries, you should submit your credentials first and wait for the governor's choice. How could you come without telling me when you have time to meet me?”
Buyeo Yong, the "Baekje traitor", enjoyed the advantages brought by his status as a Tang Dynasty, and also knew how to use the power of a fox to pretend to be a tiger. He stood on the bow of the ship with his nostrils turned to the sky and said arrogantly: "The Tang Dynasty is the country of Zhongzheng, the lord of the world, the country of the Tang Dynasty When the book arrives, even the caliph has to go out of the city to greet it. How dare a mere governor put on airs? If he doesn’t come to greet him, I’ll go see him and you all get out of the way!”
Regardless of the several warships on the opposite side blocking the front, he ordered the sailors to control the boats and ram them straight into them.
After listening to the interpretation, the Dashi navy was also angry. Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful and arrogant, how could it become the "kingdom of Zhongzheng" and "the lord of the world"?
You are the "Lords of the World", so what do you think of my big food country?
Even the arrogant and unruly Roman Empire, which considered itself "the most powerful among gods", would not dare to say that!
Although I was ordered not to conflict with the Tang Army under any circumstances, I was so angry at this time that I saw that the other party was arrogant and unreasonable and rammed me with a boat. I thought that if you hit me, I don’t need to fight back, but if you hit me with a boat, I can’t wait. Was he knocked down and drowned?
Several ships then quickly adjusted their hulls and sandwiched the oncoming Tang army warships, intending to "escort" them out of the port and drive them away. This would not count as a fight back, and the Tang people could not find anything wrong with them. My own governor will not convict him...
However, as soon as they were clamped on, they saw a scream and panic on the Tang Army's warship. Some people fell into the water with a "plop". The sailors laughed one after another. How dare such soldiers call themselves "Lords of the World"? As a sailor, I can’t even stand steady, I’m laughing so hard!
When someone from the Tang army jumped into the sea and finally fished out the fallen man, he placed them on the deck and gathered around them, shouting loudly. The sailor's laughter suddenly stopped, feeling that something was wrong, and he quickly asked the interpreter what was going on.
The interpreter's face turned pale and his lips trembled: "It seems...drown?"
"What?!"
The Japanese sailor was so shocked that his eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears. Is this the invincible navy of the Tang Dynasty that was roaming the East?
Can you drown if you fall into the water?
"This, this, this..."
After the shock, the sailors were filled with fear, and the governor's order was still ringing in their ears, "No conflict with the Tang army is allowed, let alone giving the Tang army a reason to go to war." It was clear to hear that the empire was now making full preparations to fight with the Tang army. During the war in Eastern Rome, no accidents were allowed, and naval battles with the Tang Dynasty were strictly prohibited.
As a result, some soldiers of the Tang army drowned? !
How can you drown!
The sailors were almost crazy with fear. Some people shouted: "No, no, how can you drown so easily after just falling into the water? Could it be a conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, yes, you are going to die if you say you will? We need to check!"
The interpreter told Tang Jun this request. He thought Tang Jun would refuse, but Tang Jun agreed with a look of grief and anger...
Several large sailors jumped onto the Tang army's warship and looked at the two drowned soldiers lying on the deck. They squatted down and took a closer look. Sure enough, they were all dead. They opened their eyelids and looked at their pupils and found nothing unusual. They were dead. I can't die anymore.
One of the sailors felt something was wrong and pointed at the dead soldier and asked, "Why does this man have curly hair and dark skin?"
People in the Tang Dynasty had straight hair and yellow skin...
The Tang army, who was short and strong, stared at his eyes: "Do you think the Tang army is only Han? The Tang Dynasty was so powerful that it was conquered all over the world. The Japanese, Goguryeo, Baekje, Turks, Kunlun slaves... all gathered in the Tang Dynasty. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty swore allegiance to him under the dragon flag. Not only did he have curly hair, he even had extreme White people in the North! You rammed our ship and killed me, and now you are falsely accusing the dead man of not being a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. It is simply unreasonable! Brothers, let’s return to the sea and tell the general about this, and ask the general to make the decision for us. The Great Food Nation declares war!”
"Declaration of war! Declaration of war!"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
The Tang army on the ship raised their arms and roared with high morale.
The sailors with pale faces were driven back to their warships. They watched the Tang warships turn around, leave, and gradually disappear into the vast bay...
"What to do?"
All the sailors looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Go back and report truthfully, otherwise what else can you do? My family is still in the harbor. If we run away, I'm afraid they will be skinned and torn apart by the Governor one by one..."
With the cruelty of Governor Abu Awal, this kind of thing is really possible...
The sailors on several ships were all dejected and frightened, but they had to return to the port to report the drowning of Tang soldiers.
The superiors immediately realized that something bad was going on and did not dare to hide it, so they reported it to all levels.
Soon, the news was reported to the Governor's Palace in Port Shirov...
Abu Awal was sitting in the study room of the Governor's Palace, drinking the top-quality tea produced in the Tang Dynasty. The tea set was all Xing kiln white porcelain, as thin as a cicada's wing, and as white as jade. He raised his little finger with his thumb and index finger to stroke his curled beard. , looking leisurely and contented, this is truly noble enjoyment.
When the deputy general came in to report the news on the sea, the frightened Governor accidentally knocked over the white porcelain tea cup, and the emerald green tea with a dense fragrance spilled all over the floor...(End of Chapter)
