Chapter 794 Agree to garrison troops

After Fang Xuanling and others arrived at the palace and heard Li Er's plan, they no longer felt hungry after they were originally hungry.

They began to talk about their respective views on Li Feng's garrison in Persia.

They felt that as long as Persia did not refuse, the imperial court could send a large army to garrison in Persia for a long time.

However, there were several problems along the way. It was a long journey. Even if there were only 5,000 people, these 5,000 people would definitely encounter many difficulties on the way. How to ensure that the 5,000 people could reach the Persian country safely.

There are also issues such as eating and drinking water.

The 5,000-strong army will definitely pass through many towns, so what if they rebel against the Tang army?

The most important thing is the communication problem. The journey is long. If the court wants to know about Persia, it will take at least a few months. A few months is enough to change everything.

If Li Feng were here, everyone's problems could be classified into two categories: transportation and communications.

The long journey will inevitably waste a lot of time. If too much time is wasted, communication will become a problem. Even if the two sides cannot communicate, there will be little meaning in sending troops there.

"Since everyone has so many problems, Fang Xuanling, please go find Li Feng after tomorrow morning and tell him that as long as these problems can be solved, I will agree to him and send troops to station in Persia regardless of the opposition of all the vassal countries in the world.

"Li Er said.

"I accept my order," Fang Xuanling said.

…

The next day, during the morning court, the Prince of Persia and the Ninth Prince of Dashi Kingdom wanted to see Li Er.

Li Er immediately thought of what Li Feng had said about sending troops to station in Persia, and thought that the other party was here to question him.

When Fang Xuanling saw Li Er showing embarrassment, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the use that should come will come. If you want to hide, you won't be able to escape."

Li Er sighed and said: "Xuan them come in."

"yes."

The Prince of Persia and the Ninth Prince entered the court at the same time.

"Manders (Is) meets His Majesty the Tang Emperor."

Li Er waved his hands and said: "You two envoys don't need to be polite. I didn't announce it to you, but you want to see me. What's the matter?"

The Prince of Persia was the first to say: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, yesterday the foreign minister went to the Marquis of Lantian to buy muskets. His words touched the foreign minister very much and he thought it was very reasonable."

"Oh, what did he say that made you feel so much that you must come to see me." Li Shiwen asked curiously.

The Prince of Persia said: "Let the Tang Dynasty send troops to station in Persia for a long time, and Persia will become a satellite state of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Er was a little confused, and other ministers were also a little confused.

Cheng Yaojin asked with some confusion: "Persian envoy, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know, and I also know what you are thinking in your hearts?" Prince Persia said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, the foreign minister hopes that the Tang Dynasty will make Persia a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and then send troops to station in Persia to help Persia.

Let’s fight against foreign enemies together.”

"Your Majesty, Emperor Tang, you must not do this." The Ninth Prince said immediately.

Li Er frowned slightly and said, "Envoy from the Great Food Country, why can't I agree?"

The Ninth Prince immediately explained: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not know that the foreign enemy mentioned by Mandes is our Dashi Country.

Now our great food country is waging war with Persia, and now 80% of the land of Persia is occupied by our great food country.

Now that the Persian State wants to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, why don't we, the Great Shi Country, want to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty?

The Persian state is willing to let the Tang Dynasty send troops to station. In addition, our country of Great Shi is also willing to let the Tang Dynasty send troops to station.

If His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty agrees to Manders' request and helps Persia resist foreign enemies, we, the Dashi Kingdom, also hope that the Tang army will help us attack the enemies.

This will put the Tang army and His Majesty the Tang Emperor into a dilemma. Therefore, the foreign ministers will stop it."

"I see, then I need to discuss this matter carefully." Li Er paused and continued: "Since the two of you are hostile and have requests from me at the same time, then I need to discuss it carefully with the ministers.

For a moment. You go back first."

"Yes, His Majesty the Tang Emperor."

After the Prince of Persia and the Ninth Prince left, Li Er asked: "My dear friends, what do you think?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very simple. Since both sides are vassal states and both are willing to station the Tang general's troops there, then we can all agree to their consent."

Fang Xuanling said: "It's not that easy. Didn't you just listen to what the Prince of Persia said? I hope the garrison of the Tang Dynasty can help them resist foreign enemies.

Could it be that while the Tang garrison in Persia resisted the army of the Great Shi Country, it also resisted the Tang garrison in the Great Shi Country?

Let the Tang army attack itself?"

Cheng Yaojin was confused by the question and said: "Why do you have to beat yourself up?

The mission of our garrison is to defend against foreign enemies. When did we say that we were helping others invade?

If the great food country wants to attack Persia, our Tang garrison needs help. What is the difference between this and working with a tiger? Besides, if we want to attack Persia, why do we need to cooperate with the great food country? We can just do it ourselves. Are we still afraid?

Is it possible to reach Persia?”

Yu Chigong said: "I agree with Lao Cheng's words. The garrison is only to help the country resist the aggression of other countries, not to join the country in attacking other countries."

Li Er and others nodded slightly. It turned out that there was a loophole in the process. In this way, even if Datang was stationed in various countries at the same time, there would not be any conflict for Datang.

"Your Majesty, this matter was brought up by Marquis Lantian. I will just go back and find him." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Er nodded and said: "Then let's go find him. I really want to know how he got into so many troubles by asking him to sell a musket."

…

Lantianhou Mansion.

Tsuruta and Orihime came to find Li Feng together. Now Orihime's identity is the eldest daughter of the Tsuruta family, Michiru Tsuruta.

She wanted to use this identity to purchase an additional 500 muskets from Li Feng in the name of the Tsuruta family.

In other words, the emperor has a thousand muskets, and the Tsuruta family has 500 muskets.

The purpose of this was to tell Emperor Fuso that his Fukuda family also had muskets, making their emperor afraid.

After Li Feng learned of their purpose, he fell silent, which somewhat disrupted his plan. It wasn't that he couldn't get so many muskets.

Once five hundred more muskets are produced, there will be no way to talk about the five hundred muskets given to Persia six months later.

When Tsuruta saw Li Feng, he frowned and sighed for a while, but did not speak. This made him very anxious, "Okay, okay, you have to say something."

"Marquis Lantian, I hope you can sell five hundred muskets to the Tsuruta family." Tsuruta couldn't help but urge.

Li Feng shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I can't give it to you. Except for the thousand muskets from the Firearms Camp, the rest of the entire Tang Dynasty is in my house."
