(Ahem, I posted a chapter by mistake yesterday. Yanyu was wrong. Yanyu apologizes. Later, when the error was discovered, that chapter has been covered with new content. Readers who have read the wrong version can go back and read it again.
,apology!)
The Tang Dynasty ignored the letters of credence submitted by the Dashi Empire and their request for peace and continued to prepare its army. Ten days later, the Arab Empire could no longer hold on.
It seems that Datang is determined to attack us.
Over there, the Eastern Roman Empire is also eyeing us, adding insult to injury. Our situation is very dangerous!
This situation completely panicked the Arab Empire.
We can no longer sit tight and this problem must be solved immediately.
This time, the Dashi Empire took the initiative to give up their three administrative provinces.
They were willing to use three administrative provinces as an apology and compensation for the invasion of Datang. In addition, they were also willing to compensate Datang a lot of financial compensation.
This time, they were sincere.
After Datang received the letter of credence submitted by the Dashi Empire, it also realized that this had almost reached the limit of the Dashi Empire.
There is not much room to go further.
More importantly, this time, they have achieved their goal.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty agreed to the Arab Empire's peace request.
The two sides quickly sat down to negotiate and finalize the details.
With the full cooperation of the Arab Empire, letters of credence were quickly signed.
Next, the Arab Empire handed over their three administrative provinces.
Well, it's just a transfer of reputation.
After all, these three administrative provinces are now under the actual control of Datang.
The Arab Empire asked Datang for some people.
These people are all nobles of the Arab Empire.
The Tang Dynasty kept these people, but they had no use. In return, the Tang Dynasty happily returned all these people to the Dashi Empire.
Keeping these silverfish in society is a waste of food.
If the Dashi Empire didn't redeem them, they would most likely be beheaded.
After the Dashi Empire and the Tang Dynasty signed a peace treaty.
When the Eastern Roman Empire saw that nothing was going on here, they also withdrew their large army displayed on the border.
I just hate the Arabian Empire, which makes me feel itchy at all.
They even wanted to send troops to attack the Eastern Roman Empire.
However, they had just been defeated by Datang.
This time they lost 200,000 troops and just lost three administrative provinces.
And it's not just material losses.
Morale is also extremely low.
And the current Eastern Roman Empire is no longer the former Eastern Roman Empire.
Under the current circumstances, they really didn't dare to start a war with the Eastern Roman Empire rashly.
At this moment, Li Min received news from Huaxia City.
After receiving the news, Li Min was shocked. Now, it was time to go back.
…
On Datang's side, his goal has basically been achieved.
Computers have become completely popular in Datang.
Of course, private sales are actually polarized.
Most sales are mainly focused on games.
Apart from games, there are very few other sales.
The main thing is that now, among the people, computers have no other value at all except for games.
On the contrary, in today's film and television industry, most are equipped with computers.
With computers, editing or cutting is much more convenient than before.
It's totally different.
Even those screenwriters, even those writers, many people like computers, it is so convenient.
In the past, when I lectured on plays, I needed to make many copies.
It will be even more troublesome if there are areas in the repertoire that need to be revised.
It needs to be corrected and revised first, and then transcribed.
And now?
Just modify it on the computer and print it out.
After training, the typing speed will far exceed the writing speed.
With computers, many things have become simpler.
At present, the computer sales market is basically saturated.
Well, after the accounting software is released, it may still occupy a certain market share.
However, Li Min probably won’t have too many.
After all, in this era, there are probably not many factories that require computers and accounting software.
Unless the Internet can be connected in the future and computers have a wider role, computers will not be able to be popularized by all people.
Of course, the price of computers also needs to come down.
All in all, the goal this time was basically achieved.
And this time Li Min went back because there was something and the time had come.
…
Now, of course, the entire Golden State should actually be in the land that would later be called North America.
The expansion speed of those family alliances suddenly accelerated.
Through war, they robbed a large number of people, and then moved all these people to the Golden State.
And when these relocated people were first relocated, they rejected it in their hearts.
But after living here for a while, they discovered that it actually seemed pretty good here.
Over time, they adapted to life here.
It feels like this place is no worse than their hometown.
There is a population, and now the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi Empire are at war.
They don't know the specific process.
But they believe that this war will not end in a short time.
Then this period of time is the golden time for their development.
Although the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi Empire was started by them.
But they don't know how long this war will last.
They must seize this rare development time.
Therefore, in the following time, the Family Alliance carried out crazy expansion operations.
Those aborigines were driven wildly, and countless people were killed or injured in the war.
The living space of the indigenous people has been further compressed.
They only have two options now.
Or, take their tribe and keep retreating, handing over their territory.
Otherwise, the only option left to them is death.
As the Family Alliance continues to expand, their living space has become smaller and smaller.
At present, their living space is only an area near Huaxia City.
The expansion speed of the Family Alliance has not slowed down.
These aborigines have almost no way out now.
Now, they are left with only a few options.
The first one is to succumb to those family alliances.
This is impossible for those aborigines.
If they were willing to give in, they would have given in long ago. Why do they need to wait until now?
The second option is to fight with the Family Alliance.
And the result of their desperate efforts is very likely that they will fall into an eternal fate, and it is very likely that they will be exterminated.
The third option is to defect to Huaxia City.
However, Huaxia City seems to be in the same group as those invaders. They seem to be from the same place.
Will Huaxia City really make the decision for them?
But surrendering to Huaxia City is the best choice among these three options.
The lord of Huaxia City treats the aboriginal people very kindly.
If they submit to Huaxia City, they will receive very good treatment.
In the end, these aborigines decided to adopt the third option.
Now, it has come to a critical moment of life and death for the indigenous people.
They finally united.
These aborigines sent ten representatives to Huaxia City and submitted their requests to Huaxia City.
They asked for protection from Huaxia City, and also wanted to get help from Huaxia City to send troops to drive away those family alliances so that they could return to their homes.
After receiving the requests submitted by these indigenous representatives, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
The emperor's strategy is complete!
These aborigines have been cornered by the Family Alliance and have no way to retreat.
They must make a choice as soon as possible.
Moreover, they have made the right choice and chose to defect to Huaxia City.
However, these aboriginal people are really too naive and simple.
They actually want Huaxia City to send troops unconditionally to help them drive away the Family Alliance, and then let them return to their own territory.
So, what can they, Huaxia City, gain from this process?
Is it just their gratitude?
Shangguan Yi feels that these aborigines are too simple.
In other words, it was the alliance of aristocratic families that did not force them enough.
This still hasn't pushed them to a dead end.
Therefore, Shangguan Yi quickly contacted Emperor Li Ke.
The final decision on this matter still depends on Shu King Li Min.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yi was extending a helping hand to the aborigines and providing them with various kinds of help.
For example, provide them with food, medical care, tents, clothing and other supplies.
On the other hand, it is prevarication.
"Oh, it's not that we don't want to help you! We really want to help you!"
"But if the name is not justified, what name can we use to help you?"
"Secondly, you have also seen that our strength in Huaxia City is really very weak! Look, our army only has one hundred thousand, and there are fifty thousand in the navy."
"And now the wars all take place on land, so these 50,000 naval forces are of no use! We only have an army of 50,000 people, how can we defeat the coalition forces of those noble families?"
"And the most important thing is that now that our city lord is gone, I can't be the master of this kind of thing."
"But don't worry, I will definitely report this matter to our city lord as soon as possible. We will do our best to help you."
Shangguan Yi's words contain several meanings.
First of all, if we want to help you, we must occupy the moral high ground.
We are neither relatives nor friends, so we have no reason to help you at all.
You must give us a reason to help you.
If you surrender to us, then helping you means helping yourself, and we will definitely help.
Well, the second meaning is almost the same.
Our Huaxia City currently has a serious shortage of troops. Even if we want to help you, we are powerless.
If you want us to help you, you must join us!
In this way, we have manpower, and we can beat them!
Well, okay, actually I still want to annex them.
And those ten aboriginal representatives are not stupid at all.
How could you not hear the underlying meaning of Shangguan Yi's words?
However, to be fair, their request is really not too much.
If they want to help them, they will have to start an all-out war with the Family Alliance.
What we are facing is the danger of annihilation.
If people take such huge risks to help you, why should they help you if there is no benefit at all?
Therefore, the request made by others is not excessive.
However, for these aborigines, self-ownership is equally important.
The blood of freedom flows in their bones.
Give me freedom or give me death.
Otherwise, in the original historical trajectory, they would not have been massacred to the point of almost annihilation.
Therefore, they were still hesitant in the face of Shangguan Yi's conditions.
However, at this time, the Family Alliance has fallen into madness.
They have received some news that the Dashi Empire, which they deceived into attacking the Tang Dynasty, seems to have been defeated by the Tang Dynasty.
Datang will be able to take action very quickly. If Datang attacks them, they will be in a very passive position.
There is not much time left for them, and they must seize this time as quickly as possible.
It would be best for them to take advantage of this last period of time to seize all the territory they originally planned to seize.
Of course, no matter how crazy their plan is, they have no intention of touching Huaxia City.
However, their plan must be advanced to at least a thousand miles away from Huaxia City.
Leaving a buffer zone of more than a thousand miles should be enough in their opinion, right?
The family alliance began their final madness.
And those indigenous people began to suffer.
They migrated repeatedly, and many young, old, sick and disabled died along the way.
There were also some people who died tragically under the armies of the Family Alliance.
Fortunately, these aborigines have excellent physical fitness, and their warriors fight bravely.
If they were really forced into a deadly battle, the Family Alliance's troops would also have to pay a heavy price.
Therefore, when facing these indigenous people, the Family Alliance only focused on driving them away and did not really massacre them.
Otherwise, many times more of these aboriginal people would die.
However, now the Family Alliance is really too cruel to drive them away.
They were given almost no time to rest.
And they also face a more serious problem.
That is, they now have almost no room to survive.
You know, the Golden State is many times larger than the Tang Dynasty.
Although the population is not densely populated, there are still 20 to 30 million people.
Part of it was absorbed by Huaxia City, and part of it was massacred by the Family Alliance.
But the remaining people still number 20 million people.
So many people were hunted down by the Family Alliance from all directions to the narrow area of more than a thousand miles around Huaxia City.
Okay, it’s hard to say that such a large place is small. But, can these lands support such a large population?
