Chapter 1046 The envoy sent to Tang Dynasty lied

Seeing the bearish appearance of Ichiro Watanabe, Ding Tu silently shook his head beside him. Although this achieved his goal, a local official was so spineless. I think the local officials of the Tang Dynasty, even if they were killed In the end, I would never dare to surrender just like that.

"Then you immediately organize all the information around you into a book, and then send it over as quickly as possible. Although it can still keep you in this position, you also know that there are countless people who want to serve me, Datang. If If you don't do well enough, then I can't guarantee that your position will still be there."

After listening to Ding Tu's words, this guy nodded like a chicken eating rice, and quickly led his men to find the information that had not been burned. If there were none, then he would have to find a way to compile a new volume. .

Seeing the local magistrate coming forward, many panicked people calmed down a little. Of course, many people along the coast are desperadoes, so they have all kinds of tools in their hands. If we rush over rashly, It might cause unnecessary casualties. With local magistrates like them taking the lead, we saved a lot of trouble.

"What do you think of this place?"

Although Li Jingren was the second son of the prince, he was also on the first batch of ships to land. It was inconvenient for those old generals to come, but Li Jingren was very curious about everything here, so he asked to follow him. After thinking again and again, King Wu Li Ke decided to go to the front line It wouldn't work without a royal descendant, so Li Jingren was asked to follow.

Of course, this was done after careful calculation. If Li Jing was in danger, it would be absolutely impossible for him to follow him. We lost a member of the royal family just after the war started. If word spreads in the military camp, then our next Action will be discounted.

"It is not easy to occupy this place. I have observed some of the people here and they are full of hostility towards us. This is definitely not what the envoys to the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an said, especially the people from the lower classes."

Li Jingren hit the mark with one sentence. Because he was going to pay homage to the Tang Dynasty, many local bureaucrats were levying excessive taxes. Although ordinary people also admired the Tang Dynasty, if they robbed them of food and drink, then Their mentality was full of hostility towards Datang.

When they occupied the dock just now, the army, led by local officials, had already laid down their weapons, but many people were still resisting with various tools. The iron tools here were simply not developed enough, so they did not cause many casualties, but it can also be seen that Their rebellious mood.

"The young prince has very poisonous eyes. If we want to occupy this place and convince them from the bottom of our hearts, then we have to create something to let them know how terrifying our Heavenly Army of the Tang Dynasty is. If we just rely on our If it’s your mouth, you’d better go back and rest.”

When the expedition was about to begin, Li Shimin's imperial edict clearly stated that the expeditionary force should be benevolent to the world, but the actual situation did not allow this to be done. If you just show your kindness, why should they give up the land to you? ? Originally, I got the harvest from other people's fields, but now I have to share more than half of it with you. Don't expect to impress others with your kindness and righteousness. Things that concern your own stomach are things that cannot be moved.

"What do you mean, General?"

Li Jingren looked at the bare docks around him. Apart from our army, there was nothing else. Even if these common people wanted to do something to us, I'm afraid they would not see any results. But if the common people did nothing, We can't just rush to their house and arrest them, right?

Ding Tu didn't say anything. He turned to look at the boat in the distance. The boats were all filled with supplies. Li Jingren understood what it meant. All these things would be piled on the dock, and they would be deliberately manufactured. It showed a scene of neglected defense and allowed the surrounding rebels to see clearly that as long as they looted, it would definitely be beneficial.

In a place where pirates are slowly developing, if you put a piece of fat at the door, it would be a damned thing if these people turned a blind eye, but as long as these people show resistance, they will give us the excuse of the Tang Dynasty. , then we can search all the people and catch all the rebels.

"Come here, a few people, take down the sign here and put our sign up."

When he arrived at the door of the local government office, Ding Tu couldn't see it from the corner of his eye. Could this be considered a government office?

This place is really shabby. Even if we were to find the poorest county government in Datang, it would be much better than here. However, for the time being, this is also the office location of the Datang Expeditionary Force.

Dongyi Protectorate...

Wu King Li Ke was the first Dongyi Protector, so he had to find a man. Otherwise, where should the prince stay when he comes down? He can't just find a tent like the rest of us. It can be used when marching and fighting. Let the prince be like us, but he has settled down now. If he still does this, there may be a censor to join him after he returns to the court.

The name of the local area has also been changed. From now on, this will be the forward base for attacking the entire Fuso, so it is called Dongyi City.

"Report to the General, the follow-up fleet has received news and will arrive at Dongyi City in about eight hours."

While Ding Tu was directing his brothers to clean up this yamen, news came from the follow-up fleet. It seems that we only have eight hours left. We can be in such a dangerous environment, but we have to let the two If an old general and a prince are in such an environment, then we are really being rebellious.

"Go ahead and prepare. Lie in ambush around the supplies. If anyone dares to charge here, let them grab it for a while before attacking."

Although Li Jingren has never led an army, Ding Tu also observed it when he was on the ship. After this guy was born in Jiangmen, he is naturally familiar with some things in the army, so he let this guy try his skills in dealing with a bunch of rogues. , that’s absolutely no problem, you have to give people a chance, so how do you get the credit after you go back?

Ding Tu himself does not lack this, because Ding Tu understands that until there is no suitable candidate, the position of naval admiral may always be his, because this is the army that is dear to His Highness Taisun, and he would not be safe if it was handed over to others. , so he shouldn’t think about having too much credit. Credit can only be accumulated.
