Chapter 1293 Li Jing’s grandson

Ogaraba (Yangon)

This is the largest port in the south of Pyu State, but Piao State, like other mainland countries, does not pay much attention to the development of the ocean. Therefore, except for some small fishing boats, there are no naval warships here. If there are any In other words, it is slightly larger than some small fishing boats.

At this moment, everyone in the port was in a panic. Whether it was the government or ordinary people, when the common people saw a large number of naval warships appearing on the sea, they were all surprised and didn't know what to say.

News came from the north a few days ago, saying that the Tang army was coming from the north. But for the local people, this does not seem to affect their lives. After all, it is too far away from the north. Even if they call me, it won't have much to do with them. They will still live honestly according to their previous habits.

I thought that would be the case. Even if the Tang army advanced rapidly, they would first reach their capital and then attack Ogaraba.

But they didn't expect that when they opened their eyes, Datang's naval warships had already arrived. They had never seen such a large naval warships before, and the sea was densely packed, as if the road to the distance was blocked. , after all, the Tang Empire was able to build such a big ship.

"Sir, how should we respond? Currently, except for the patrol battalion of more than 1,700 people, we do not have any troops. All the troops have been transferred to the north by His Royal Highness the King."

A government official said with fear, they originally had more than 4,000 troops stationed here, but after the war started, they continued to mobilize the troops northward, and now there are only more than 1,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left.

"Are you crazy? Even if it's the patrol camp, everyone is here, do you think we can resist? I estimate that such a big ship in the distance can hold at least hundreds of people. Look at the people on the sea. How many ships are there? If they all come down, even if we are all soldiers, can we stop it? By then, there will be a river of blood all the way, who can bear this responsibility? "

Pami, the magistrate of Ogaraba, said angrily.

After hearing his words, the people around him felt relieved in their hearts. This guy is the son-in-law of His Royal Highness. If he says to resist, then we all may have to follow him. Seeing how powerful the Tang fleet is, these In fact, no one wants to resist.

"What about us?"

Since there is no resistance, you must choose to surrender, but it is up to the adults to decide how to surrender.

"Why are you still standing there? Go quickly and invite the people from the Tang Guild Hall in the city. They must have contact information with the people on the sea. We will do whatever we are asked to do and try not to anger these people. Maybe we still have a way to survive."

When Pami saw the warship on the sea, he had already thought about what to do, but he didn't expect that his men were so stupid and couldn't even surrender. He had to do everything by himself. arrange.

Such a result can be achieved, firstly, because of the strong military power of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, because the legend of the Tang Dynasty has spread all over the world. They don't have much resistance here. Even if they do, they have to weigh the pros and cons. What if? If there is a real fight, what can you keep?

The people under my command slapped their heads. Sure enough, we are just followers. They are the local officials here. We can't think of things they can think of. How can this be possible?

There was no need to invite the people in the Tang Guild Hall. They had already stayed at the beach. Now seeing the attitude of the local magistrate, they all smiled and nodded. Although the local resistance was not strong, If a fight really breaks out, it will be of no benefit to us. Since they are willing to surrender, we have to give them the treatment they deserve.

"Master Zhao..."

Seeing Mr. Zhao in Datang Guild Hall, all the people present bowed and saluted. In the past, it was because of etiquette, but now it is purely out of fear. The people in front of you have a great say in what will happen in the future.

"Master Pami can make such a decision, I am really happy in the Tang Dynasty. When our army comes up later, I will ask Master Pami to provide assistance. If everything goes well, Master Pami will make mistakes in the future." No."

Zhao Tongren was an official appointed by the Tang Dynasty. He was also a failed candidate. Later, he volunteered to come here to preside over the Tang Guild Hall. There was no one here, so the Tang Dynasty sent him here. What he has been doing these days can be regarded as Can.

"Everything is subject to Mr. Zhao's orders. All our armed personnel are in the sea market on the left side of the beach. There is an open space there, waiting for the Tang army to collect our weapons. For other places that require our cooperation, please give instructions."

Mr. Pami bent down and said, it turned out that he and Zhao Daliang had a good relationship, but things are different now. In the past, he could still be superior. After all, he was the local magistrate, and these officials of the Tang Dynasty required him to do things. , now the situation has been reversed. You are not asking others to do things, but your head is already in their hands. If you still have the same attitude as before, I am afraid you will not be able to accomplish anything.

Mr. Zhao also nodded, and then asked the people next to him to contact the ship through semaphores, and sort out the small boats in the port. Because the draft of the port is too shallow, the only way is to use small boats to transfer people and materials from the big ships. .

Of course, the entire port needs to be renovated. If it is rebuilt every time, it will be a waste of too much manpower and material resources. This is not in line with Li Xiang's development speed, but now our people have not fully mastered this place, so It's too early for this.

Earlier, His Royal Highness the King also issued an order for Ogaraba to do more. In order to protect the country, both money and people should be concentrated in the royal city, but they did not. I sent it over, but I can’t send it now even if I want to.

But this is fine. If a large number of young adults surrender in the hands of His Highness the King, then those people will not have a good life, and the two sides will most likely meet on the battlefield.

The person leading the team on the warship was Li Youqian.

This man is the grandson of Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Shimin uses people, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to continue to join the army. He can only hide his blood. But Li Xiang has never been afraid of this. As long as you are capable, I can put you in the army. in an important position. (End of chapter)
