    After visiting Bali for more than a month, Li Min and his concubines returned to Chang'an. His next trip was to go to the Great Food Country. In the era that Li Min is living in now, the Great Food Country is very powerful at this time.  The land area is almost equal to that of the Tang Dynasty, and even Persia in the west has almost been annexed by the Great Food Kingdom. If the Tang Dynasty's expeditionary army to the west attracted the attention of the Great Food Kingdom, the Sassanid Dynasty of the Persian Kingdom would have been destroyed by this time.  It could not survive until now, so in order to thank Li Min and because it was connected to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Persia was extremely respectful to the Tang Dynasty and paid tribute to countless rare treasures every year.  I had breakfast calmly in the morning. At noon, Li Min and Martha set off from the airport in Chang'an and arrived at the Dashi Country in less than an hour. Unlike the Japanese and other eastern countries, after the Dashi Country declared its defeat,  Surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the ruler of the Great Food Kingdom at this time was Osman, one of the four caliphs of the Great Food Kingdom in history.  "Welcome the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the Great Food Country." At Medina Airport, the capital of the Great Food Country, Osman brought the ministers of the Great Food Country to greet Li Min. After Li Min exchanged greetings, Martha had time to pounce on Osman, and the two fathers  The girls were very happy to meet each other after a year.  In addition to Osman, also arriving at the airport was Li Tong, the person in charge of the Big Food Country, a management robot, and with him came the Terminator troops responsible for Li Min's safety. After all, although Osman unilaterally admitted defeat,  However, those who opposed him did not accept it, but kept resisting stubbornly. Therefore, it can be said that there are constant wars in Dashi, and Datang merchants are often attacked by unknown people here. Among all the colonies, it can be said that Dashi is currently the least  Popular with businessmen.  After staying at the airport for a while, Li Min and Osman took everyone to the palace. Unlike the buildings of the Tang Dynasty, the palace of the Great Food Kingdom was filled with a strong Middle Eastern style. Mosque-like buildings could be seen everywhere. Li Min looked at the streets along the way.  The crowds on both sides, from their eyes.  Li Min saw various expressions, including joy, disgust, and numbness. To them, Li Min's Tang Dynasty people were full-scale invaders, but Li Min also understood that this was something they would inevitably experience in the early stages of occupation.  matter.  When they arrived at the palace, Osman had already prepared a banquet. Li Min feasted on a sumptuous meal of exotic dishes and followed the local customs to comply with the court etiquette of the food-rich country.  At this time, Dashi Country believed in Muslim teachings, and almost everyone was a believer. Regarding this, Li Min fully expressed his views on religious freedom, because he understood that religion and belief are very complicated matters that cannot be dealt with by one person.  Rather than leading to big chaos, it would be better to allow them to believe freely.  Anyway, all Li Min wants is the right to rule.  "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the opponents in Egypt and Iraq still do not agree with my rule. Yesterday my palace was surrounded by opponents. If General Li Tong had not arrived in time, I would have been killed by them." Withdraw.  After the banquet, Osman poured bitter water on Li Min.  Li Min frowned. Historically, Osman was assassinated and killed by opponents in these two places. Then the Dashi Kingdom entered the reign of the fourth caliph.  According to Li Min's understanding, it was the rulers of the two regions who had been opposing the management of the Tang Dynasty and the Shiguo Kingdom, especially the opponents in Iraq.  They also often attacked the oil facilities there, causing a lot of trouble to the local garrison. In this era, the population of the Great Food Country was more than 20 million, which was not part of the population of the Tang Dynasty, and the invincible cavalry of the Great Food Country was still on the stage of history.  It was these cavalry teams that came and went like the wind that often brought trouble to the Tang Dynasty.  Li Min's original expectation was to resolve the issues in these two places peacefully, but now it seems that it is just his wishful thinking. He said: "In this case, why do you continue to be patient and just eliminate them." "  It's just that the two regions are very powerful. If they really fight, it will probably be a long war." Osman sighed.  Li Min understood Osman's thoughts. Osman had been acting as Li Min's shield after admitting defeat. Li Min was also willing to use locals against locals. However, such a large-scale war was still a difficult decision for Osman, so this time it consumed a lot of money.  of time and financial resources.  "For the sake of peace in this region, I will dispatch the army of this big food country to jointly destroy these rebels." Li Min said, which was a reassurance for Osman.  Hearing this, Osman showed a satisfied smile. Now he admitted that it was a province of the Tang Empire, but said that it would take time for the Great Food Kingdom to be fully integrated into the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he still had selfish intentions, "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."  "Li Min nodded slightly. The situation in Dashi Country also gave him a headache. The assimilation process here is extremely slow. The reason is religion, because destroying their culture is equivalent to destroying them.  Their religion records their history in their teachings, so it is basically impossible to completely assimilate this place. Li Min can only start with governance.?His and Martha's son will inherit the position of caliph and continue the rule here. After a few generations, the caliph here will basically retain only a trace of the blood of the great cannibal, but he is also prepared to use some small tricks.  "Another thing is that we also need to prepare for the war against the Eastern Roman Empire. Now Constantinople is experiencing internal and external troubles. The Germans and Goths are constantly harassing the Eastern Roman Empire. It is the right time for us to take action.  "Li Min is ready to restart his conquest of Europe.  Osman's eyes suddenly shone with a strange light. To him, the Eastern Roman Empire was like a stumbling block on the way forward. The food country had fought against the Roman Empire many times but had not gained any advantage, so it was worth giving up this piece of fat around him.  Meat, in fact, Osman has always dreamed of one day standing in the palace of Constantinople to accept the letter of surrender from the Romans, "This is really a wise decision. I am willing to lead the cavalry of the Great Food Kingdom to serve the emperor."  " Li Min saw Osman's expression and instantly guessed his thoughts. However, although he restarted the conquest plan, Li Min did not feel relaxed, because Europe during this period was really a barbaric and chaotic land, and people drank blood like hair.  Nomadic tribes are everywhere. They do not accept education and only know how to herd and rob. They will only be a factor of instability. But now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe in the Tang Dynasty, the remaining energy of the army needs a place to vent, so Li Min decided to restart this plan.  After sitting in Dashi Country for two months, Li Min cooperated with Osman to eliminate his opponents. With the cooperation of satellites and terminators, it was not difficult to eliminate these people. The environment in Dashi Country suddenly became clear.  After getting up, commerce was obviously more than before, and Li Min's name was also spread throughout the Dashi Country. This magical Eastern Emperor was recognized by many people.  This is not because the people here agree with Li Min's actions against opponents, but that Li Min bribed many big figures in the religion. Just as not all believers are loyal, facing disloyal believers, the temptation of money and beauty  The effect is amazing, and these bribed people will beautify the rule of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible.  Li Min did not expect that this small method would achieve such good results, so he continued to increase investment. During this period, royal power and divine power were in opposition but unified. He needed a religious leader who was willing to serve the court. From this point of view, he also  You can let Roman Catholicism serve you quickly and effectively.  The rule of the Dashi Kingdom was further consolidated, and Li Min returned to Chang'an with Martha. They stayed alone with Li Min for two months. Ma Fa became more and more dependent on Li Min, and Li Min also showed his love for Martha.  This made Osman's loyalty to Li Min even stronger, and Li Min wanted exactly this result. In the past, Li Min was confused as to why Li Shimin suddenly became passionate with a certain concubine, but now he understands a little bit.  Sometimes the emperor had to play tricks on the occasion. In order to obtain the support of the forces behind his concubine, he had to be partial. If he received further support, he might have to give birth to a prince in exchange for trust.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! u
