Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 250

"The Lord of the Kingdom of God shouldn't be so crazy! If Rome really controls the grenade, it will be another Great Tang! I heard that he is actually a prince of the Great Tang, so he shouldn't do such a thing. Be silly!"

After hearing this, Osman was shocked and questioned.

"You don't know him. He is a man who has no scruples. He is extremely conceited and has a good face! We made him lose face, and he will definitely get it back. As for the grenade, let's not say that Rome can Can't control it, even if they really analyze the formula and production method, do you think they have no way to restrict it in the Kingdom of God?

You have also participated in the battle with Datang, you should know how terrifying Datang is!Although Datang chose to evacuate in the end, it was because Datang cared more about the lives and deaths of soldiers.I heard that in Datang, all the family members of the war dead can get 20 years of support!How big an expense must this be?
They spared their lives, we spared our lives, so we won!But this does not mean that Datang has no other means!
As for Rome!Their soldiers are not very valuable. If we add grenades, we have no chance of winning at all!
Zuo Ming is a lunatic, why not Chen Dong?So we must go all out and beat Rome by surprise!Even if the country cannot be destroyed, heavy damage is necessary!Otherwise, when Zuo Ming lets go and Chen Dong gets the grenade, we'll be out of action! "

Seeing the disbelief on his face, Hisoka smiled wryly and spoke.

Although I don't want to admit it, Zuo Ming is really an extremely terrifying existence to them. He doesn't even need to do anything, just leaking an idea, and they are in a hurry!
Although Datang is powerful, he doesn't bother to use some low-level methods, but Zuo Ming is different, he has no principles and bottom lines to speak of.He didn't even think of himself as a king, but only as a bandit leader.

And most importantly, no one in this world can restrain him!Even the current emperor of Tang Dynasty has to call him "Brother Huang" when they meet each other.

If other people in Datang want to sell grenades, they must have a lot of worries, and they will even be blocked by many people and forces, but Zuo Ming is not the same!
He was the one who brought grenades into this world, so who dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of him?

Of course, in fact, Zuo Ming would not sell the grenade, and the reason why he released the news was just to scare them.

There is no doubt about the role of grenades in small-scale battles, but if it is used in a large-scale battle of 10 or even [-] people, it may not be very effective, especially in most European countries. In the case of using the armor and shield of the Tang Dynasty.

Once close combat, the grenade is too easy to blow up one's own people!And if you throw a grenade when approaching, it will be blocked by the enemy's shield wall, so this thing is actually not as scary as Hisoka said.

It's just that after seeing Datang's artillery, hot air balloons and grenades, they were scared out of their wits.After all, more than 40 people were buried in the frontier during that battle. With so many people, the corpses alone could pile up into a mountain!

"But! What if the Kingdom of God took out a grenade in the middle of the war! Wouldn't the result be the same?"

Osman strongly disagreed with Hisoka's plan to launch an attack before Rome got the grenade.

It's too childish to start a war just because of a rumor, and it doesn't seem to be able to prevent the situation from getting worse!

"How could it be the same? When the three countries join forces, the Roman Empire must be caught off guard and suffer heavy losses! Appeasing the people requires money, rebuilding requires money, and fighting is even more expensive. What do they use to buy grenades? There will inevitably be mourning inside. At that time, even with the help of grenades, we don't have to be too afraid!
A wounded tiger is easier to deal with than a tiger in its prime! "

Hisoka said in an extremely displeased manner.

"I still think it's too childish! Then Zuo Ming just revealed a hint of news that he was going to buy and sell grenades. It's really unreasonable for you to have such a big reaction!"

Shaking his head slightly, Osman still questioned.In his eyes, whether it is Hisoka or Zhuoguman, they are just two little brats.He felt that the two of them were really making a fuss.

"It's not that we overreacted! It's that Rome has gained too much benefit from the Kingdom of God by relying on the trading of minerals in the past two years! Food, clothing, armor, chariots, horses and ships! I'm afraid you haven't heard of these things. But! We are far away, get some from the Kingdom of God and ship them from Gothic like thieves! It is incomparable with them!

We all had losses in the last war, but in terms of recovery speed, we are really inferior to Rome, which is backed by the big tree of the Kingdom of God!Now that Rome has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass, the only flaw is that they despise us too much!This is our chance, and our only chance!If you win, maybe Rome will fall apart, and if you lose, it will be nothing more than ceding land and paying compensation!

You both Persia and Dashi still have a way out, but I, Byzantium, have no way out!Zuo Ming once said that 'people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries'!You think it’s okay for me to make a fuss out of a molehill, but it’s not easy for me to survive in Byzantium. If I can’t seize the opportunity in this battle, I may face the crisis of national subjugation and extinction!So no matter what, I, Byzantium, must fight! "

With a bitter smile again, Hisoka said helplessly.

At this time, Zhuo Guman also said solemnly, "The Mediterranean Sea is so big, and Rome has dominated the Mediterranean Sea for too long! It's time to change the situation! The reason why the Kingdom of God chooses to cooperate with Rome is not only the geographical advantage, but also the more important Rome is too strong!

I won't say anything else!In this battle, in addition to avenging the thieves and soldiers who disrupted the country's internal affairs, we in Persia also need to open up the entire earth's shipping lanes!Use this to communicate with the Kingdom of God!
The resources of the Kingdom of God seem to be inexhaustible!Moreover, the grain output is frighteningly high. Just the one sold to me in Persia this year has reached as much as [-] tons!The most important thing is that the price of the materials sold by the Kingdom of God is very cheap, and often they just want some rare minerals that cannot be eaten, drunk or used!

There was a severe drought in your country in the past few years, and you were also worried about food!If this channel is really opened up, it will definitely be a good thing for your country! "

Zhuo Guman said sincerely.

They are now cautious about buying goods from the Kingdom of God, and the amount of delivery is not large at all, which cannot meet the requirements of their entire empire, so they need to return it from the ground!And absolutely can't let Rome control this channel again!Otherwise, the gap between them and Rome will only grow wider.

"What? A few rare minerals can be exchanged for a large amount of food? Is there such a good thing? Isn't it also iron ore and copper?"

Hearing that the things sold by the Kingdom of God are not gold and silver but minerals, Osman was slightly taken aback.

"Of course! A few days ago, I exchanged three thousand bright light armors and five thousand Tang knives with a piece of black ground oil! You also know that ground oil, when it burns, it will cover the sky with smoke and dust, and it is also highly poisonous. I don't know What are they coming for?"

With a slight smile, Zhuo Guman said affirmatively.

However, what he didn't know was that the so-called ground oil, to put it bluntly, was oil that was extremely precious in later generations!In order to obtain the oil, Zuo Ming asked Chen Dong for a pass to sail through the Mediterranean Sea with a face!Of course, the prerequisite is not to sell anything to Persia and Byzantium through the waterway.

Zuo Ming is a businessman who respects the contract very much, so he really didn't take the opportunity to smuggle the goods, but honestly parked the ship in Egypt, and then went to contact the Persians near the oil fields.

Chen Dong's customs is very strict, and Zuo Ming's ships are not allowed to carry anything other than the ore obtained from Rome, so Zuo Ming must not use his own ship to bring the oil back to the Kingdom of God!In desperation, he had no choice but to ask the Persians to transport the barreled oil across the Black Sea to the north after negotiating the price, and then send it back to the Kingdom of God by Goth!

Such a broken-line and criminal-shaped transportation method not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also has extremely high risks!So not only them, but even Zuo Ming urgently needs a completely open Mediterranean shipping lane.

Not only that, Zuo Ming is also eager to the extreme for the future generations of Iraq!He spent so much energy and time arranging all of this, perhaps in order to be able to reach out to the Middle East through Egypt.

"I heard that Zuo Ming is a scholar, known as the most intelligent person in the Tang Dynasty, and he likes to collect some strange things! I think he wanted those things, but it was just out of interest."

Zhuo Guman knew Zuo Ming very well, so he smiled.

For a person like Zuo Ming, he admires and despises him at the same time. He admires Zuo Ming's ability, but at the same time looks down on his lack of proper work.

In Zhuoguman's view, as a king, he should have his own ideals and goals, and he must not waste his mind on trivial things.

Zuo Ming is still keen on scientific research until now, which is no longer the attitude an emperor should have.

"Is there such a thing? After what you said, I am getting more and more curious about that Zuo Ming! An emperor, who actually learns from a craftsman to do research, simply doesn't know what it means!"

Hearing that Zuo Ming was actually a scholar, Osman also laughed lightly.

He is the same kind of person as Zhuo Guman, and he also feels that the emperor Zuo Ming is a bit nondescript. He is a businessman, a craftsman, and an emperor. It is really a bit different.
Such a person can actually make the Kingdom of God so powerful, it is really unreasonable!
