Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 215 Determining the Four Seas
The envoy of the Frankish Empire was in Yang Zheng's arms. Now that there is so much more land, it will take a lot of time to digest, and Datang occupies an important position in the Balkans, which can also effectively contain the Frankish Empire. In Damascus, although the Fusang Army The casualties were heavy, but Damascus was still taken. According to the agreement with Byzantium, Datang got the territory east of Syria, which can directly contain the Great Food Kingdom.Dashi, Frank, and Tubo are all restricted, and now it's time to settle down. It's hard to digest such a wide territory within three to five years.

Therefore, Yang Zheng volunteered to serve as negotiating minister.

"His Royal Highness, the Frankish Empire and the Great Tang Empire are now burdened by the war, and the war has made the common people unable to afford it. Therefore, I am entrusted by the Emperor of the Frankish Empire to come here to discuss with the Great Tang. I don't know what His Royal Highness Sai ah?"

"Hehe, what Prime Minister Papan said is very true. The Tang Dynasty does not want to be an enemy of the Frank Empire, but the Frank Empire has repeatedly attacked the Byzantine Empire. This is something that the Tang Dynasty cannot tolerate, because Byzantium is the link between the East and the West. Tang is a friendly country, not to mention, the third concubine of this king is the princess of the current emperor of the Byzantine Empire, so this king ordered the Tang soldiers to come to mediate, Prime Minister Papan, you will not be offended, right?"

So during the negotiation with Papan, Yang Zheng graciously accepted the other party's request for a truce. Of course, there are still necessary accusations. Yang Zheng revealed his identity as the son-in-law of the Tang Empire and the Byzantine Empire , educated the behavior of the Frankish Empire against the Byzantine Empire.

Datang was the victorious country, so Papan couldn't refute whatever he said, "Hehe, His Royal Highness King Sai was joking, this time it is indeed the Frankish Empire's fault. Since the Byzantine Empire and the Datang Empire are so closely related, after the Frankish Empire I will not attack them again, but what does His Royal Highness King Sai think about the Frankish land occupied by the Tang Dynasty?"

"Oh? The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty marched for thousands of miles. I don't know how much gold and silver money Prime Minister Papan thinks is appropriate for compensation?"

Yang Zheng didn't mention returning the land, but instead asked for compensation, which made Papan a little bit hard to get off.

"His Royal Highness King Sai, our country is willing to compensate Datang with a thousand catties of gold and ten thousand taels of silver. I don't know what to do?" Kuan Land wants to return some money, and there is nothing unworthy of it.

"Hahahaha, Prime Minister Papan is so arrogant." Yang Zheng laughed, making Papan look puzzled, and then said: "My soldiers of the Tang Dynasty traveled thousands of miles, spent countless amounts of food and fodder, and many of them died in battle. If you want to compensate, then compensate one hundred thousand catties of gold, one million carts of silver, one million stones of grain and grass, and one hundred thousand beauties. Only in this way can the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty feel at ease. Otherwise, I, the general of the army, can't do anything. Convincing the public. Isn't it, Prime Minister Papan?"

Yang Zheng’s words immediately made Papan take a deep breath. This is really a big mouth for a lion. If the Frankish Empire agrees to such a request, it will have to do its best. At that time, the Gothic Kingdom, the Kingdom of Britain, and the Kingdom of Lombardy around the Frankish Empire will not be able to do so. Will he take the opportunity to cause trouble?
Seeing that Papan was in trouble, Yang Zheng knew that this guy would definitely not agree to such a condition, so he said again: "Haha, Prime Minister Papan, since your country is in trouble, my Tang Dynasty doesn't want these compensations. Let me cede the place I occupy now to Datang. What do you think? Of course, in order to prevent the Frankish Empire from attacking these places occupied by Datang in the future, the crown prince of the Frankish Empire must enter Youzhou City as a hostage. , the relationship between the two countries must be unbreakable!"

Yang Zheng said nicely, he doesn’t want the compensation for this war, he just wants the entire Eastern European plain.As for the issue of hostages, the defeated country naturally has no reason to refuse.

Papan didn't have the courage to refuse at all. Datang's army was so brave. In just a few months, it swallowed up the territory that Frank had occupied for several years. If he refused, Papan was worried that Datang would attack Poland immediately In any case, the Frankish Empire would find it difficult to resist the military operations in the city, or immediately march from the Balkans to attack the Hun tribes under the Frankish Empire.

Therefore, Papan still reluctantly agreed to Yang Zheng's request, but this time he suffered such a big loss, Papan still hoped to bring some benefits to the Frank Empire, so he said: "Your Highness, the young hero of the King of Sai, I, the eldest princess of the Frank Empire, Ai The baby is as beautiful as a flower, and she is the number one beauty in my Frankish empire. I have taken the liberty to propose marriage on behalf of the princess. What do you think of His Highness King Sai?"

"Wow, Princess Frank? Or the number one beauty? I like it, but it seems that I can't do it. This girl, Meiniang, won't allow me to take a concubine. If I make fun of her, won't I turn my face? For Meiniang, forget it, this beauty No more. Well, it seems that the marriage is not a disadvantage. In the future, it will be absolutely no problem for the Frankish Empire to contain the countries around him. I heard that Li Tai is just 17 years old this year, and he can get married next year. How about just Let this Frankish princess marry and become the princess of Yue." Yang Zheng thought for a while, and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister Papan, but I have many wives and concubines, and Princess Ava will inevitably be wronged when she marries. How about this, my Tang Dynasty The fourth prince of the emperor, Li Tai, king of Yue, is both civil and military, and he is in excellent health. He just lacks a concubine. If Princess Ava agrees to marry me, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be more beautiful?"

Papan thought, yes, the condition of the son of the Tang Emperor is definitely not bad. With this marriage, the Frankish Empire and the Tang Empire will definitely become iron buddies, and it will not be easy for the Tang Dynasty to make plans for the Frankish Empire in the future. .

"Haha, His Royal Highness King Sai is too thoughtful. This is very good. When I go back next time, I will propose to my emperor that the two countries become brothers and lead the country, and we will be friends forever!"

The negotiation with Papan was over, and Datang acquired large tracts of land on the Eastern European Plain, including later Russia, Ukraine, Romania, etc. Sooner or later, it will recover. When the country is strong, it will also have the opportunity to make a comeback.

Papan stayed in Youzhou City for a few days, and then returned to the country with the agreement and a large amount of materials from the Tang Dynasty, but another foreign envoy came again, this time it was Ha Kebi, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom.

Li Shimin took Yang Zheng's ability into consideration, so he entrusted him with the task of negotiating with the Great Food Kingdom.

The Great Food Kingdom is still very powerful. Although it lost millions of troops in the battle with the Tang Dynasty, the Great Food Kingdom still has a wide territory in West Asia and Africa, and the population resources it controls are still very rich. Li observed that after the Great Food Kingdom was defeated and withdrew from Syria, it quickly formed an army of 100 million, half of which were the African Legion. It can be seen that this country is still ambitious and ready to make a comeback at any time.

So Yang Zheng decided to give Huckabee a blow. Before the peace talks, he took Huckabee to inspect the Tang army.

"Report to the king of Sai, the cavalry, infantry and beast soldiers are all ready, please give instructions to the king of Sai!"

"start!"

Huckabee on the side was dumbfounded. The cavalry and infantry were easy to understand. What is this beast soldier?
But soon he understood that on the spacious school field, a group of dinosaurs swaggered over, scaring Huckabee almost peeing his crotch.A sword dragon was even more mischievous, stretching out its sharp finger knife and waving it in front of Huckabee a few times, scaring Huckabee almost to faint.

Of course, Datang's cavalry and infantry were equally majestic, and Hakobi immediately thought of the army of the Great Food Kingdom. Can such be called an army?Compared with the Tang army in front of us, they are simply weak. If there is another battle, Datang will still win.Huckabee thought to himself that after going back, he must think about Umar's suggestion and train the army well, not to mention expansion in the future, self-protection is always beneficial.

After the review, Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Excellency Hakobi, is the Tang army strong?"

"Your Excellency King Sai, the army of the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful, the most powerful in the world!" Ha Kebi hurriedly replied.

Yang Zheng said again: "Hehe, since that's the case, how is our Datang army compared to the Dashi army?"

"Your Excellency King Sai, the Tang army is a hundred times stronger than the Dashi army, and I feel inferior!" Ha Kebi said truthfully.

Yang Zheng laughed loudly, took Ha Kebi's hand, and said: "Your Excellency Ha Kebi is humble. After you go back, please tell your caliph, don't always think about bullying others, and the king is here for a day, everyone The Shiguo would never want to seek hegemony, if the Dashi doesn’t want to destroy the country, it’s better to keep it safe.”

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency King Sai is very right. That's why I entrusted by the Umar Caliphate to come to negotiate peace with Datang." Huckabee flattered his face. It is absolutely right to show weakness at this time. Sheng, if you annoy Yang Zheng and then march to West Asia, it will be bad.

"Well, since that's the case, let's sit down and talk, come and have tea!"

Yang Zheng waved his hand, and the peace talks began.

Huckabee's intention is very obvious, that is, he hopes that Datang will immediately stop marching to the west of the Middle East, and the two sides will use the river (that is, the Jordan River in later generations) as the boundary and rule by river.Huckabee doesn't expect Datang to return those lands anymore. To occupy the beautiful and rich river area is still very satisfying for the Great Food Kingdom.

There have been many wars on this river in history, and the later Middle East war, etc. It can be said that they broke out in order to compete for various resources of this river. The foundation of the region is not deep, and Yang Zheng does not have much confidence in governing these regions that believe in Christianity.

"In that case, well, I know your beliefs, so let's do this. I will let those who believe in the same cannibalism as you move across the river. Both sides of the river will jointly develop it. If there is any trouble, I will definitely send The army crossed the river." Yang Zheng made a helpless concession. The population in this area is still quite large, at least about 50. To give it away all at once would be like cutting off flesh for Yang Zheng, but there was no Fa, other people's beliefs are different from yours. A strong-willed melon may not necessarily be sweet.

Ha Kebi was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you so much, His Excellency King Sai, I will tell the Caliph that Dashi and Datang will always be friendly states and will not invade each other!"

"Well, well, then you can do it for yourself. By the way, what is the territory of the Dashi Kingdom? Get me a map of the Dashi Kingdom as soon as possible, so that I won't accidentally invade the Dashi Kingdom in the future." Territory." Yang Zheng has no idea how much territory Dashi occupies. In history, the Arab Empire can be said to span Europe, Asia and Africa, and its territory is very large.

Ha Kebi said: "His Majesty the King of Sai, do you dare to disobey your orders? You must draw up the latest map of Dashi Country as soon as possible and show it to Your Majesty the King of Sai!"

"That's good. Your Excellency Hakebi came to Youzhou from afar. Let's play for a few more days. This Youzhou city is extremely prosperous. We welcome businessmen from the Dashi Kingdom to do business here in the future." It is very touching that the economic development of Datang cannot be separated from these neighboring countries. As the country grows larger, various factors are needed to regulate the economy in order to maintain the healthy development of the national economy and the healthy development of imports and exports. This is beneficial to Datang. No harm.

Ha Kebi happily agreed. Now that the mission of the envoy has been completed, he can relax for a few days. He has long heard that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. Chang'an City was like this in the past. Now Youzhou City is better than Chang'an City and has a large population. , with a developed economy and unlimited business opportunities, it is a place that every big food businessman yearns for.

After defeating Frank and Dashi one after another, Byzantium became a staunch supporter of the Tang Dynasty. Fusang's population consumption plan was also perfectly implemented. Yang Zheng was in a good mood. Now only Tibet has not sent an envoy to negotiate. It seems that the Tubo people are unwilling to accept it. Failure, since this is the case, I am afraid I will have to take care of the Tubo people in the future.
