The Lachem people took away most of the ordnance captured from the Great Cannibal, which instantly brought the Lachem people's military strength to a higher level.
This is of great benefit to maintaining the balance between the two river basins and temporarily containing the cannibals.
Lapu Pasu still sees this very clearly.
Su Chen also asked Cannae, Lachem, and Persia to copy various technical manuals and drawings compiled by the craftsmen accompanying the army.
As for how useful it can be, it's hard to say. After all, those things also require their own technical support.
Su Chen gave them all the artillery casting technology, but it is estimated that only Persia can cast a usable artillery in a short time.
The metallurgical technology of Lachem and Kanni countries is not as good as that of the Ham people in northwest Africa!
Su Chen remembered that the Tang Dynasty also had a port in Northeast Africa called Adulis.
There is also an eighth-rank official of the Tang Dynasty there, Melokus from Ham.
Su Chen simply asked Lapu Pasu to send a technical manual and a few cannons as samples to the Ham people.
In order to completely contain the expansion of Dashi, Su Chen spared no effort.
The three families here have finished dividing the spoils, and happily went down to send people to haul things away!
Su Chen whispered to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, just reward Hashem with a county king. When you go back, be careful of the ministers impeaching you!"
Ordinarily, Li Chengqian was only the crown prince and had not yet given others the power to crown him king, even if it was a title in name only for a foreign race.
Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Just go back and explain it to your father."
"The country of Canni is not as weak as Persia, and its soldiers are far away from the Mediterranean Sea. It will not cause dissatisfaction with my father."
Seeing that Li Chengqian had something in mind, Su Chen didn't say anything.
"Teacher, when you come here, you throw gunpowder, fire running and other techniques all over the place. When you go back, you will inevitably be questioned by those ignorant censors!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "They are all things that we will eliminate soon. What's wrong with leaving them to the natives here to deal with Dashi?"
"Those rotten scholars have always looked down on these strange skills. They know nothing!"
"Besides, when I get back, I'm going home to rest, just to give those corrupt people an excuse and I can resign to Your Majesty!"
Li Chengqian: "Teacher, it's still some time before we leave to return to China, so you just want to go home and resign!"
"Teacher, you are so capable, why did you resign without reason?"
Su Chen stretched out: "I'm tired!"
"How many days have I stayed at home with Changle since we got married?"
"When I go back this time, I won't even go to court. How good it would be to hide at home and enjoy the happiness!"
Li Chengqian glared at Su Chen: "Teacher, you have really worked hard in the past two years!"
"But teacher, after you become my royal consort of the Tang Dynasty, you will have a concubine for yourself every year. You have to explain it properly."
"I am Chang Le's brother. You and Elsa were flirting with each other in front of me. How should I explain to Chang Le when we go back?"
Su Chen: "Hey, Your Highness, you can't talk nonsense..."
The two were chatting, and a guard outside the door loudly reported that Muwesa had sent Mutarif.
Li Chengqian stood up and said: "It's finally here. Let's go and see the culprit who caused huge disasters to our Datang Dynasty!"
"I would like to ask him. Datang and Dashi are thousands of miles apart and have no contact with each other. Why did he want to harm us, Datang?"
Su Chen followed Li Chengqian to the big tent and met the Prime Minister Mutarif.
The result was a huge disappointment to both of them. He was just a bad old man who was about to die.
It's hard to tell how old you are, but it should be in your fifties or sixties, so that's okay.
The main reason is that Mutarif's face is grayish-white with a bluish tint, and his body is unusually thin and has a bulging belly.
This looks really scary!
Su Chen thought that Muwesa was deliberately trying to shirk his claim that Mutharif was seriously ill.
Now it seems that this Mutharif indeed has only a few days to live.
Li Chengqian was also puzzled: The Prime Minister of Dashi, who was able to plan the locust plague in the Tang Dynasty from thousands of miles away and control the defection of the northwest princes of the Tang Dynasty the year before, was already a dying man.
However, this did not dispel Li Chengqian's anger. This old man had caused too much harm to Datang.
"Mutarif, why did you send people to create a locust plague in our Tang Dynasty for no reason and harm the people of our Tang Dynasty?"
Although Mutarif looked like he was about to die, he did not leave the hotel when faced with Li Chengqian and Su Chen.
"Hmph! You people from the Tang Dynasty have brought harm to the world, and you dare to say that I have brought harm to you?"
Mutarif, who was out of breath, could still snort coldly,
Moreover, he spoke in Chinese. Although the accent was a bit strange, it was indeed Chinese.
Li Chengqian said angrily: "We, a country of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, have always been kind to our neighbors. How dare you slander us?"
Mutarif glanced sideways at Li Chengqian and ignored him, with contempt and hatred on his blue-grey face!
After only one sentence was spoken during the meeting, Mutarif became silent again!
He sat there motionless with his eyelids drooped, no matter what Li Chengqian said, he didn't bother to pay attention.
This made Li Chengqian very angry. Is there anything he can do?
If you were a normal person, you could beat him to vent your anger.
If Mutarif is in this situation, he will definitely die if he touches him!
"Teacher, this old guy probably won't survive the Tang Dynasty!"
Su Chen glared at Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, do you still think he can live to the Tang Dynasty?"
"I guess it will be good if he survives to Basra!"
Li Chengqian said depressedly: "It's bad luck! I thought I could capture the culprit and take him back to the Tang Dynasty. What should I do now?"
Su Chen spread his hands: "Your Highness, how could I know this?
I also didn’t expect that the chief culprit who brought disaster to the Tang Dynasty would be in such a situation now.”
Li Chengqian: "Is there any other way to execute the person directly? Take the head back and hand it over!"
According to Mutarif's crime, he should be captured and punished, and then taken to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices to heaven.
Su Chen: "Your Highness will take care of this matter, but I suggest you don't impose a formal punishment. When the time comes, the old man will not be provoked, and he will die on the execution platform without waiting for the execution."
Li Chengqian nodded and left angrily, letting others prepare to leave.
The most direct reason for this expedition of more than 20,000 miles to Dashi was that Dashi caused a locust plague in the Tang Dynasty.
Now that the culprit has been found, he must give an explanation to both the army and the court.
Su Chen originally had many questions that he wanted to ask this mysterious Mutarif, but looking at his current appearance, Su Chen didn't bother to ask.
Anyway, the purpose of this expedition has been achieved, and Mutarif will soon die.
No matter how many secrets Mutarif has, they will be over once and for all after his death.
And considering Mutarif's attitude, Su Chen probably wouldn't ask him anything.
Su Chen asked people to take Mutarif to another place and take care of him. She didn't want to see him again, looking like a human being or a ghost.
"Are you that Su Chen?"
When Su Chen turned around and left, Mutarif suddenly asked.
