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

Chapter 651: Detaining the King of the Arab Empire

Seeing that the plan was going smoothly, Her Majesty Queen Victoria finally spoke out and affirmed the plan to conquer the Tang Dynasty.

After the tone of the main battle is set, the next step is to discuss the specific details.

The army that the Sultan of John could mobilize in Delhi was nearly 800,000, including 50,000 to 60,000 troops from John's own territory.

Finally, John decided to use the army of Delhi Sultanate as the main force to attack Burma, tying down the elite main force of Tang, while John sent its elite navy to attack Tang from the sea.

Use John's powerful ships and cannons to bombard the Tang Dynasty's national gate.

It has to be said that the young queen of John Kingdom is still of a certain level. If it were the original Tang Dynasty, John Kingdom’s plan might not necessarily destroy the Tang Dynasty, but it would at least bring a lot of trouble to the Tang Dynasty.

But now the combat capability of the Tang Dynasty under Li Zheng's governance is far ahead of this era. No matter how meticulous the strategy is, it will be futile in the face of absolute strength.

In this way, the top leaders of the Kingdom of John reached the decision to fight against the Tang Dynasty against the backdrop of the young Queen's urgent need to consolidate her rule.

Today's John Kingdom can indeed be said to be strong in both military and horses. If Li Zheng had not appeared, John Kingdom would still be the invincible British Empire of the past.

With the end of this meeting, the huge state machinery of John's country began to operate.

Orders were sent in all directions, and the order with the Governor of Delhi Sultan was written by Her Majesty the Queen herself.

In her letter, the young Queen Victoria affirmed Davis's achievements and mentioned the importance of this war to the Great John Kingdom.

the other side.

Led by the envoys from the Tang Dynasty, the king, princes and ministers of the Arab Empire traveled through Central Europe and arrived at the border town where the hot air balloon once took off.

The Tang Dynasty’s first air force took off from here and directly captured the capital of the Kushan Empire.

When Hassan and his party entered the border town, they were shocked by the city they saw.

In the barracks not far away, hot air balloons were lined up neatly, and next to the barracks, a steam locomotive emitting white smoke was roaring into the distance.

"Monster, monster, it's a monster."

"Look, what's that flying in the sky!"

"Could this be a hot air balloon? This is the artifact that the Tang Dynasty used to destroy the Kushan Empire."

Compared to the hot air balloons that people had heard of a long time ago, the people of the Arab Empire were even more amazed at how the steam locomotive, which was like a giant steel beast, could run.

They died without being able to figure out how a block of steel that looked like it weighed dozens of tons could move.

If Li Zheng were here, he would definitely answer their questions - boiling water, the end of technology is boiling water, at least that was the case in Li Zheng's previous life.

The Tang envoy standing by looked at the shocked Arabs and smiled without saying a word.

I wonder what kind of surprised expressions they will have when I take them back to ride the steam locomotive and feel the lightning speed of this steel behemoth.

All of this was brought about by the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Thinking of Li Zheng, every citizen of the Tang Dynasty today would praise him from the bottom of their hearts.

As the envoys expected, the ruler and his ministers of the Arab Empire were once again shocked by the steam locomotive.

With the speed of the steam locomotive, the ruler and his ministers of the Arab Empire reached the current capital of the Tang Dynasty, Peking, within a few days.

When the rulers and ministers of the Arab Empire saw the true state of the Tang Dynasty today, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, they did not choose to oppose the Tang Dynasty in the first place.

A group of people from the Kingdom of the Arabs were walking on the streets of Peking. With the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, foreigners were not uncommon in the city of Peking, and their appearance did not cause any disturbance.

Li Zheng in the palace also received a report from the Minister of Rites Zhu Jun.

"Your Majesty, the rulers and ministers of the Arab Empire have arrived in Peking and are waiting to be received by Your Majesty."

Li Zheng smiled when he heard this. With the surrender of the Arab Empire, the Tang Dynasty has already controlled most of the Western Regions. The remaining effects originally depended on the Arab Empire and the Kushan Empire for survival, so it was naturally a piece of cake.

"Mr. Zhu, arrange for a reception for the monarch and ministers of the Arab Empire at the Taiji Hall tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The next day, inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Zheng sat upright on the dragon throne. At Li Zheng's signal, Wang De loudly summoned the king and ministers of the Arab Kingdom to enter the hall.

Led by Hassan, the ministers of the Arab Empire walked into the hall one by one.

Hassan looked at Li Zheng and knelt down to pay homage.

"Little Prince Hassan pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Led by Hassan, the princes and ministers behind him also knelt down.

"My country, the Arab Empire, is willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."

After saying this, he waited for Li Zheng's instructions.

However, Li Zheng did not make any move and looked at His Highness Hassan coldly. As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became weird. Hassan even felt as if the air around him had stopped flowing.

Just when Hassan felt he was about to suffocate, Li Zheng's voice rang out.

"Hassan, our Tang envoys have already gone to your country of Daqin, but you, Hassan, keep delaying. Do you think you don't take our Tang seriously?"

Li Zheng's cold voice reached Hassan's ears and made him tremble a little.

Today, the Tang Dynasty controls the largest territory in Chinese history and is the only monarch on this vast continent. The aura of a superior being on him is certainly not comparable to that of the king of the small Arab Empire.

"Your Majesty, I dare not go against the Tang Dynasty. It is just that I am stupid and incompetent. In addition, I was ill before, which led to my failure to respond to Your Majesty in time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Hassan answered tremblingly, giving people the feeling of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty in the hall smiled at each other. This old guy is really good at acting.

Li Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, didn't say much after hearing this. He just nodded lightly, which seemed to indicate that he accepted the explanation.

But before Hassan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Li Zheng standing up from the dragon throne.

He walked slowly to Hassan and looked at him carefully.

After a moment, Li Zheng said, "Hassan, you are a smart man, at least smarter than Batum, and I like dealing with smart people the most."

Li Zheng continued, "I am very happy that you can lead the princes and ministers of the Arab Empire to submit to the Tang Dynasty."

"Hassan, what do you think of my new capital of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is rich and powerful, and the imperial capital is certainly a hundred, a thousand times stronger than our country, the Arab Empire."

Hearing Hassan's words, Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I will grant you the right to live in Peking for a long time and grant you endless wealth and glory."

After hearing what Li Zheng said, Hassan's face turned pale. His expression changed again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, for your mercy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hassan knelt down and thanked him, and replied loudly.
