Farash finally understood, how could these Tang people be so kind? It was just a protection agreement but no substantial benefits could be seen immediately. These guys were obviously targeting the Tik tribe's treasury, and they even shamelessly said such things. It's not a difficult question. With his eyes fixed on Pauling's face, Farash's face became extremely ugly. These guys had too much appetite.
Pauling turned a blind eye to the other person's predatory eyes. Since he had made up his mind to be the villain, he didn't care what the other person thought of him.
"Great Chief, you may think we are going too far, but think about it. Now the people of Luzon are coming with all their strength, and they obviously want to turn the entire Tik territory into the current Komini area and Ruchar line. Like the province, it has completely become their territory, and the current strength of the Tik family cannot change this situation at all. I can responsibly say that if the current situation continues, you, the Farash family, may never be able to return. On this land. If you can't even set foot on the land, what's the point of everything left behind?" Pauling had prepared these remarks countless times, and he said them in a loose and clear way. Straighten out.
"We, the Tang people, have a saying that if we keep the green hills, we will not be afraid of running out of firewood. You, your family members and the wealth belonging to your family still belong to you privately. We will provide you with transportation means to transfer to Lahore first. Or if you think Lahore is not safe, you can also transfer it to any place in the empire, including Qingyang and Zhongzhou. But I think that as the treasury of the Tik tribe, you may not be able to transfer it immediately. I also know that Tik Some of the tribe's gold is stored in several banks of the current empire in Goa City, but that is only a small part. Most of it should still be stored somewhere in Goa City. Now the military situation is critical, you should act early Decide, as soon as you leave the city of Goa, I am afraid that the greedy Luzon people will swallow up the entire city of Goa. If you are willing to use this fund as the price for us to recover everything that should belong to you. Then I can represent you The empire promises you that you will be back here soon. All honors still belong to you."
As the representative of the empire in the Indian region who best understands the psychology of these Indian princes, Pauling certainly knows what the other party's concerns are, and he also knows that his big mouth this time will definitely cause pain to the other party. But he has no choice. Between private interests and tribal interests, he believes that the other party will make a rational choice.
"Are you saying that you are willing to ensure that all the wealth of me and my family is not infringed, and that you are willing to help us move to a safe place?" Hesitantly asking such a sentence has fully exposed Farash's true inner thoughts. What he is most worried about is not the safety of the tribal treasury, but his own private wealth.
"Of course, if you need it, I can also provide sufficient transportation means to help the nobles of the tribe transfer their property, Chief. Please don't worry, the Tang Empire still needs your cooperation and support, and you will come back again." Come to this land, I promise you." Pauling smiled slightly.
The rolling carriage convoy divided into several roads and poured into Goa City like a torrent. Pauling looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction. Farash was undoubtedly wise, and he fully demonstrated his skill in this regard. Bremer was sent to the front line. Once this stumbling block was removed, everything went extremely smoothly. The first batch of horse-drawn carriages from Lahore and Kada mainly met the needs of the Farash family and his trusted families to transport property. After a batch of transport vehicles arrived, the secret treasury of the Tik tribe was finally opened.
The road from Goa to Hailum, the capital of Lahore Province, was almost crowded with a steady stream of convoys. Private convoys were ordered to get out of the way. The imperial transport vehicles flying the Golden Roc flag naturally received special Treatment, the coming and going of motorcades only took two days and one night to turn the prosperous and prosperous city of Goa into an empty city. When the Luzon vanguard finally defeated Bremer's last line of defense and broke into Goa City, A regiment of the Seventh Army responsible for suppressing the battle had already left Goa City for three hours.
When Kruff stepped into the city of Goa to the drums of the victory march, he really couldn't use other words to describe his mood except sighing. What the Tang Dynasty did was so shameless! The entire city of Goa is in a mess, with all kinds of messy debris scattered on the streets. There is almost no decent person to be seen. The doors of all businesses and shops are closed. Except for a few rogue proletarians who take advantage of the fire and wander around in the streets, no one can see them. There is nothing to show that this was once the most prosperous and wealthy place in the entire southern India.
With the deliberate propaganda and help of the Tang people, almost all the wealthy people in Goa City fled. According to intelligence, at least thousands of transport trucks from Lahore and Kada provinces were involved so that they could be transferred. In this case, it goes without saying that the Tang people would not leave a single thing on their side, except for what they could not move away.
At this time, Kruff even had a mentality of being deceived. The Luzon people sent troops and took various risks, and even bore the condemnation from neighboring parties. From Komini to Tik, many surrounding countries have felt that they are gradually Threat from the growing Kingdom of Luzon, but the Tang people clearly participated in this carve-up and even gained more than the Luzon people, from Kunduz, Kada, Lahore Province and even Rosette Province, as well as the entire Tibet The wealth and works of art accumulated by the Ke tribe for hundreds of years were all looted by the Tang people, but they did not need to bear any moral responsibility.
They can even shamelessly participate in condemning and threatening themselves, shouting that the Luzon people have destroyed regional peace and posed a huge threat to the security of the entire Central Continent, and call on neighboring countries to impose trade sanctions on Luzon. This kind of The method of calling out thieves to catch thieves is probably what Li Wufeng is best at, so much so that Kruff has some doubts that Li Wufeng is obviously aware of the Kingdom's plan to send troops to Tik, but deliberately delays the war in order to obtain greater benefits. Woolen cloth? This question has always haunted Kloof.
It seems that the envoys sent by the kingdom were not successful. Without the cooperation of Tik's upper class, the Tang people would not have been able to do so beautifully and perfectly here. When Kruf realized that war is not just military means but requires the cooperation of other means, he discovered that Lu Song's arrangements in this regard were indeed too weak and backward. They failed to establish an effective communication channel with the upper class of the Tik people. They only thought that they could conquer this land with military force. In fact, they did this. The army conquered this land, but what about the original owner of this land? ? No one remained on this land. It was obvious that the Tang people successfully recruited them, and what was left to the Luzon Kingdom was only an unstable land. Without the help of these guys, it will not be easy to re-establish long-term rule on this land. And with the support of the Tang people behind these guys, I am afraid that this land will still be full of instability and variables. It is undoubtedly a huge challenge to establish a stable kingdom here.
The envoys of the Tang people have clearly requested that their side stop the invasion of the Indian Kingdom and ensure the sovereignty and integrity of the Indian Kingdom. When did these Tang people become so peace-loving and opposed to hegemony? Then the three northeastern provinces of the Indian Kingdom What about the protected areas? What about the Province of Poirot? What about the Panja area? These guys actually had the nerve to accuse us and even issued war threats. Kluf even almost kicked this guy out. If he hadn't considered that the other party was a diplomatic envoy, Kluf really wanted the military judges to A whipping taught him to respect others.
The combat effectiveness of the Tik army is indeed not worth mentioning. Kruff could not imagine that an army with such combat power could almost defeat the central army of the Indian Kingdom and achieve the change of dynasty. Even if the Tik army encountered the Tang Dynasty and the The combat effectiveness of the Kominis was greatly reduced due to heavy losses, but based on their combat effectiveness at their peak, it was impossible to rank among their own troops.
Kluf didn't know how such a kingdom with such a weak military force but such a rich military could maintain their rule. No wonder the nomads in the north and the Tang people in the east were able to succeed here frequently. Kluf even regretted why the kingdom was so powerful in the first place. If we have to fight endlessly with the Pasha people, we should say that when Northern Luzon is still in the hands of the kingdom, we directly send troops from Northern Luzon into Indian territory. The benefits gained are simply enough for our own army to build an army of 300,000. More than enough. Although it is not too late now, the Tang Dynasty, a great enemy, has gained the greatest opportunity and advantage in the Indian region, and the Hansen Alliance has also invaded the Yakuan region. It seems that the Indian army is afraid that it will It will become the most intense competition between the three major forces.
From January 22 to 28, 700 in the Continental Calendar, 300,000 troops from the Five Kingdoms of Luzon divided into three groups and entered the Tik Tribe-controlled area of the Indian Kingdom. They swept across the entire Tik Tribe-controlled area in just one week with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Within a period of time, four of the five provinces in the area actually controlled by the Tik tribe fell. Except for Lahore Province, which was controlled by the Seventh Army of the Tang Empire who had reached a garrison agreement with the Tik tribe first, the other four provinces were All provinces fell under the control of the Kingdom of Luzon. However, before the fall of Goa, the capital of the Tik-controlled area, the Tang Dynasty successfully instigated the collective flight of the upper-class Tik nobles and successfully transferred all the property of the Tik tribe in Goa city to the province of Lahore. The other provinces of Rossai, Kunduz, and Kada, which once obeyed the Tik tribe, also announced their acceptance of the Tang Empire's protection agreement and became the protected areas of the Tang Empire.
