Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 240 Chapter 252
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. In addition to coming to ask for food and soldiers this time, I also brought a word from our Majesty. Our Majesty said that as long as you don't release Xiaoyaozi again, he will be with you Everything is negotiable!"

Respectfully saluted Zuo Ming, Martin said slowly.

"Hehe! That sounds good to me. That's all, go back and rest first. After I have someone draw up the credentials, let's sign them."

Knowing that Chen Dong sensed Xiaoyaozi's sudden awakening and was frightened out of his wits, Zuo Ming was really amused.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Good news from Martin!"

After another salute, Martin retreated.

Looking at Martin's receding figure, Kuqi frowned, then bowed his body and whispered in Zuo Ming's ear, "Your Majesty, the food is okay. We have a huge granary like America. There is nothing good about it." Distressed. But if the armor is sold to Rome, wouldn't it make Rome the dominant family in the Mediterranean?
In the past few years, Datang relied on these things to determine the hegemony of the East with one against two.There is no shortage of people in Rome, if they are fully armed, I am afraid that the combat power will not be inferior to Datang..."

"Don't lose to Datang? You are so naive! Yes, the armor of Datang is indeed light and tough, and the weapons are also extremely sharp, but do you think that is all there is to Datang? Remember, what Datang shows will always be just an iceberg kick!
Furthermore!Who told you that with my armor they can dominate the Mediterranean?Go back and spread the story of Rome’s purchase of armour, the farther the better, it’s best to spread it to Persia and Byzantium!
To do business, of course you can't just do one business!Of course, this matter has to wait until we have signed a contract with Rome. "

Showing a mocking smile, expressing his contempt for Rome, then Zuo Ming showed a smirk, and said wickedly.

"You mean to sell armor to Dashi, Persia and Byzantium?"

The smart Kuqi immediately understood what Zuo Ming meant, and said with a look of seeing a ghost.

He is a shameless politician, but sometimes he has to admit that his master is more shameless than him!
"Of course! If you have a business, you have to do it! Otherwise, where will your son's milk powder come from? We only promised to give them food and armor, but we didn't promise him to sell them only! He, Chen Dong, can still pay for it because of this matter." I can't turn my face around? What is the relationship between Lao Tzu and him? Do you want to take into account the 'friendship' with her and don't even want the immediate benefits?"

Zuo Ming took it for granted.He will now learn from the United States of later generations and make a fortune in war.The happier the Mediterranean played, the happier he felt.

When they are at the end of their ropes and there is no oil and water, it will be time for him to join hands with Datang to harvest.

"Your Majesty is wise! I'm going to draft the letter of credence!"

Admiringly flattering, Kuqi said vigorously.

"Go! Make the tone of your words a little higher for me. As I said earlier, Chen Dong is not at the same level as me. If you want to be equal to me, in your next life!"

With that said, Zuo Ming reprimanded Kutcher.

Couch is indeed a practical person. The next day, an extremely strict credential was handed over to Martin.

After receiving the credentials, Martin also heaved a long sigh of relief. After confirming that they were correct, he happily returned to Rome with the credentials.As for the food and armor, they will not be handed over until the first batch of ore from Rome arrives.

While Martin went to the Kingdom of God, the whole of Rome was in dire straits.Chen Dong, who didn't care about the situation below, also didn't sleep for nearly three days.

The first was the Polish rebellion. Although it was quickly suppressed by him with iron blood, most of the Poles fled to Gothic!And it was at this time that Chen Dong discovered that a large piece of land to the north of him was already occupied by the Kingdom of God.He was really angry and anxious at that time.

After that, the Algerians on the southern coast of the Mediterranean couldn't bear the oppression of heavy taxes and rebelled.

The situation of those people is actually the same as that of the Liao people in the Tang Dynasty. Simple suppression actually has no effect, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

But at this time, Chen Dong was also forced to do nothing. Before the food from the Kingdom of God arrived, the Romans were doomed to suffer from hunger and cold.

"This group of mud legs! Don't they even want gods? How dare they betray the Holy See? Are they not afraid of going to hell after death!?"

Chen Dong said angrily as he tore the Algeria rebellion intelligence into pieces.

"Your Majesty! That's how people are. For profit, they can sell everything. The so-called backbone and restraint are just not worth the price."

Gently helping Chen Dong's heaving chest, Zuo Qiu advised with a flickering expression.

After these years of trying to please, although Chen Dong still minded the fact that he was a virgin, it was not as bad as before.Now sometimes I even chat with her a little bit.

"Your words are indeed good! But I am still very angry! Those mud legs are simply unreasonable. If it is not worried that they will disturb the morale of the army, I will definitely kill them all."

The anger subsided a little, Chen Dong said with a straight face.

"It's easy to kill people. But your Majesty is the Pope after all. If you do this, it may damage the power of the gods. How about this! Don't you have a trial temple, Your Majesty?? Those people's beliefs have deviated, and they have already deviated from the pagans. It’s no different, just to punish some people with this!”

His expression flashed again, Zuo Qiu said cautiously.

"You want to take charge of the Temple of Judgment?" Chen Dong is not a complete idiot like Xiaoyaozi. To some extent, he is still somewhat wise, so he can see Zuo Qiu's true purpose at a glance.

"Yes! Your Majesty! The Temple of Judgment has been vacant for many years now, and it's time to play its due role! Doesn't the Kingdom of God also have those Judgment Knights?"

Without hiding anything, Zuo Qiu spoke out his thoughts.Because playing smart at this time will only backfire.

"You are a restless woman. Martin has always told me to be careful of you, and it seems that I am right! But sometimes Martin still underestimates me too much!

I will hand over the Temple of Judgment to you, but I still advise you, don't play tricks in front of me.Everything about you is mine, I can give it to you, and I can also take it away!
Those who underestimate me will have to pay an extremely tragic price. "

His complexion changed slightly, Zuo Qiu quickly lowered his head, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Zuo Qiu is loyal to you and will definitely not let you down!"

For the talkative Martin, Zuo Qiu really hated it to the extreme, and even started to think about how to get rid of this thorn in his side.

Chen Dong didn't notice the resentment in Zuo Qiu's eyes after he lowered his head, he just nodded in satisfaction, and then looked worriedly at the shredded paper on the ground again.

The situation in Rome is really terrible. After several years of wars, although Byzantium and Persia have been exhausted, he himself is also riddled with holes.

In order to ensure that the frontline sergeants would not mutiny, he could only forcibly seize food and finances from various places. It was called expropriation, but in fact it was robbery.

If Martin cannot get a large amount of food from the Kingdom of God this time, his Rome may be in danger of being split, because this time, he has already committed public anger.

In fact, it's not just him, Persia in the east is not having a good time, and their main conflict is still internal.

——The younger brother of the Persian emperor, Zhuoguman, actually recruited a large group of Persian nobles to sponsor him, and wanted to compete with his eldest brother for the position of emperor!
This matter really came to the extreme suddenly, except for Hisoka and a small number of Byzantines and Persians, no one knew why the prince Zhuoguman did this.

In fact, Zhuo Guman was only bewitched by Hisoka, and the trick Hisoka gave him was also to be a swimmer.

In order to consolidate the central imperial power, after the Persian emperor occupied the Khorasan area, he wanted to distribute benefits unevenly, which led to many contradictions.Some dignitaries who didn't get enough benefits found that their emperor was a eccentric emperor who only took care of his own direct descendants while ignoring the feelings of others, so they started to think wrongly.

And at this time, Zhuo Guman raised the banner of equal distribution of benefits, and those who failed to reap the benefits naturally fell into his arms one after another.

But what they don't know is that when the spoils were distributed, the suggestion to focus on taking care of the direct descendants was actually made by their new master - Zhuo Guman!

Zhuoguman has long been tired of being just an idle prince!He worships Zuo Ming, so he wants to surpass Zuo Ming.He felt that it was his incompetence that Zuo Ming failed to cross Li Shimin on top of him, as long as he could do it, it would prove that he was better than him!
He wishfully thought that Zuo Ming was the same kind of person as him, and he imposed his ideals on Zuo Ming, and then wanted to use this to defeat the idol he had admired for a long time, which is a bit sad and a bit deplorable!
In addition to receiving the support of most people at home, Byzantium and Dashi abroad have also become his loyal allies.

The mentality of Byzantium is easy to understand. They are now almost crippled by Northern Rome, and they cannot do without the power of Zhuoguman, so Hisoka must stand on his side unconditionally, because he really doesn't know that under the Persian emperor's In his eyes, what kind of position is he?Instead of going to the Persian emperor to try his luck, it is better to hold on to the reliable and powerful Zhuoguman in front of him.

As for Dashi, their intentions are much more sinister.In fact, they don't necessarily want to support Zhuoguman. What they want is just an unstable Persia. It doesn't matter who wins or loses.Of course, the reason for temporarily standing on Zhuoguman's side is also because Zhuoguman's current winning rate is not high, and they need to add a glass of water!
