Su Chen waved his hand: "It's better to leave this kind of coercion and inducement, sow discord, and collude with others to professionals."
"When His Highness sends the officials from Honglu Temple, we will leave this task to them."
"But I can intimidate them first."
"I have ordered the naval fleet to dispatch some warships to bombard all the major port cities on the Dashi Peninsula along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf!"
Hearing what Su Chen said, Elsa's eyes widened: "Commander, why do I think you have other agendas?"
Su Chen: "Hmph! If we hadn't happened to meet him in Malacca when we came here last year, Dashi's fleet would have gone directly to Guangzhou."
"As the Marshal of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, how can I turn a blind eye to such a thing?"
The Dashi fleet that ambushed the Tang naval fleet in Malacca at that time certainly did not travel more than 10,000 miles to Malacca for sightseeing.
Their target was most likely a coastal city of the Tang Dynasty, but they happened to encounter the Tang naval fleet in Malacca.
Then the big cannibal who escaped from Guangzhou gave them advance notice, and then they successfully carried out an ambush in Malacca.
Su Chen estimated that the cannibals who escaped from Guangzhou should have gone to Guangzhou to collect intelligence, or to recruit the remnants of the family to act as internal agents.
Since the Great Eater dared to take the initiative to send a fleet to the Tang Dynasty, don't blame Su Chen for being rude.
Therefore, when he was in Malacca, Su Chen set the complete elimination of the cannibal's maritime power as one of the goals of this army expedition.
Su Chen didn't want that after the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, all the oceans would be filled with large merchant ships and large military warships.
After previous naval battles, Dashi's fleet in the Persian Gulf has basically been lost.
However, in order to further eliminate the possibility of the rise of Dashi's maritime power, it is necessary to destroy Dashi's shipyards along the coast.
Therefore, Su Chen ordered the bombardment of Dashi's coastal cities not only to intimidate Dashi's nobles, but also to destroy Dashi's shipyard.
The plan to destroy the Dashi Shipyard was actually made long ago, and both Li Chengqian and Liu Rengui knew it.
However, in order not to irritate the food-eating nobles during the previous fierce battle with the Ottomans, this plan was never implemented.
Now that the Ottomans on the other side of the river have been sorted out, it's time to continue with the previous plan, and also teach these big-eating nobles a lesson.
Those shipyards must be owned by the big food aristocrats, let them bleed and be honest.
…
Hashem has finished reporting on the situation of the Lahemites,
Elsa saw that she had no role to interfere in what Su Chen said,
So the two of them were about to leave Su Chen's Chinese army tent, but Su Chen stopped them.
"Elsa, Hashem, have you decided what to do about the Kanni Kingdom?"
When the two of them heard Su Chen ask this question, they immediately became excited.
"Ah! Commander, are you ready to help us restore our country?"
Elsa said happily.
Su Chen nodded: "I promised you a long time ago, it's time to fulfill it."
"You go back and make a careful calculation of how many troops you need from me to help you."
Before Su Chen finished speaking, Elsa hurriedly said: "No need to add up, the commander-in-chief just needs to lend us a thousand men and horses."
"A thousand men and horses?"
Su Chen glared at Elsa: "Didn't you tell me that your Canni country has tens of thousands of troops?"
Elsa waved her hand: "That's the total number. Now there are only a few thousand defenders in Chabiye,"
"All the troops of Cannae were sent to Damascus by the traitors to work as coolies for the cannibals."
Su Chen glanced at Hashem: "Do you think a thousand people are enough?"
Hashim: "Commander, actually the number of people is not a big problem. The main thing is that we need to borrow some hot air balloons and gunpowder bombs from the commander."
Elsa went on to say: "Commander, after that evil thief killed his brother and usurped the throne, he went on the wrong side again. Everyone in Canni hates him to death."
"As long as Hashem returns to Chabiyah, there will be people who will support him!"
"Then the hot air balloon flew over Chabiye and dropped a few bombs to scare him. The defenders of Chabiye automatically opened the city gate to welcome Hashim into the city."
"One thousand Tang Dynasty warriors only need to defeat that evil thief's personal guards."
Su Chen looked at the two siblings: "It seems that you have already planned it!"
"Elsa, you gained a lot from your last visit to Biye!"
Elsa smiled and said: "I just secretly met with a few of my father's former important ministers, and they expressed their loyalty to Hashem."
Su Chen nodded: "Since you already have a plan, I will lend you a thousand troops, thirty hot air balloons, gunpowder, and bombs. You can take them with you."
The two of them immediately bowed and saluted Su Chen, thanking him!
Su Chen looked at Hashem: "That's right, he will be the king of Kanni from now on!"
Hashim bowed and said to Su Chen: "Hashim will never forget the great kindness that the commander-in-chief showed to our siblings. Hashim will always respect the commander-in-chief like a father and brother!"
Su Chen smiled: "That's not necessary! You two siblings have indeed made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the past six months!"
"Helping you regain the throne is not only my promise, but also Datang's reward for you!"
Elsa and Hashem were in a very urgent mood. After getting Su Chen's approval, they took their troops back to the Kingdom of Kanni to fight for the throne the next day.
Su Chen lent them a thousand marines, led by Xue Rengui and Li Qi as his deputy.
In the entire military camp, they were the most familiar with Elsa.
Needless to say, Li Qi has almost become Elsa's bodyguard in the past few months, and he is as tan as black charcoal.
As for Xue Rengui, on the day Su Chen met Elsa, this guy rummaged through the warehouse and gave Elsa a set of dresses, preparing for Elsa to serve Su Chen.
The ambiguous rumors about Su Chen and Elsa in the army were spread by this bastard Xue Rengui!
Su Chen had long wanted to deal with Xue Rengui, but this time he would have to make Xue Rengui run back and forth from the Syrian desert no matter what.
Elsa, Hashem, Xue Rengui and others just left the camp,
A small group of troops crossed the pontoon bridge and arrived at the Tang Army camp from the Dashi Army Camp on the other side of the river.
Osman sent an envoy to negotiate with Su Chen.
Su Chen called all the officers and smiled happily at the Chinese army tent to receive Muwesa who came to negotiate.
In fact, Su Chen didn't plan to discuss anything with Muwesa.
To be precise, Su Chen had already made up his mind to hand over the conditions that had room for negotiation to the officials of Honglu Temple.
Su Chen met Muwisa to tell him which items were non-negotiable.
For example, Osman had to submit a confession to Datang;
The culprit who brought disaster to the Tang Dynasty must be handed over, the food prime minister named Mutarif and so on.
As for the specific matters of land cessation and compensation, it is better to wait for the people from Honglu Temple to come, and then let them talk slowly with the big cannibal one by one. Su Chen is too lazy to waste time.
