After some repairs in Tianzhu, the Tang Army returned all the cities in central Tianzhu to Raja Sri, who will continue to continue the Harsha Dynasty here.
Several cities in the south and southwest were handed over to the former leader of the fake bandit group, Mohandas Karamchand, who later became the leader of the Tianzhu Free Liberation Army.
As a result, there were two different forces in central and southern Tianzhu.
Although Raja Sri was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, she wouldn't even be able to come back to this central part.
This pattern is somewhat similar to the Beibang and Nanbang in later generations.
The northern area of Tianzhu is connected to the Tang Dynasty and has become the territory of various subordinate countries. It is regarded as a reward from the Tang Dynasty for their joint expedition.
The west has completely become the territory of the Tang Dynasty. It borders the Arab Empire. After occupying the Arab Empire, this area will become the second overseas road of the Tang Dynasty after the Oshu Road.
After the war, the Tang Dynasty caravans that had been prepared for a long time swarmed in.
Some came overland and entered Tianzhu with thousands of cavalry.
Coming from the sea, countless large and small merchant ships filled every port in Tianzhu.
Bidding sounds came and went in the military camp.
Fakhr al-Din was shocked when he saw this scene for the first time. He was even more stunned after asking Tang Ping.
After listening to Tang Ping's words, he realized that the Tang Dynasty's war with Arabia not only suffered little loss of soldiers, but also did not spend much money.
It was also the first time that he learned that fighting could not only save money but even make money.
You must know that they went to Tianzhu one after another, but they spent a lot of money from the Arab Empire.
Fortunately, he didn't know that Tang Ping had sold many pieces of their Arabian land before the war. Otherwise, I don't know what he would have thought.
The various chambers of commerce not only came here to buy things, they also brought ammunition produced during the Tang Dynasty to supplement the expeditionary force, and then hurried back home with the loot they received.
These trophies can be disposed of and refurbished and sold at a good price.
What's more, the Tang Army will soon set foot on the mainland of the Arab Empire.
The Arab Empire has conquered so much territory in the past few decades through conquests in the north and south, but it has also plundered the treasures of the Byzantine Empire and other empires along the Mediterranean coast.
Many of these things will definitely become trophies for the Tang Dynasty warriors. These are valuable things, and they cannot miss such a good opportunity.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who followed the caravan to escort supplies came in, and the wounded soldiers were left behind. The Tang Dynasty had another 200,000 troops.
The Arab Empire must not be able to take the surrendered troops with them. Although they surrendered, they are definitely not willing to turn around and attack their own country.
He asked Fakhr al-Din to take care of the people, and found a few businessmen who knew Arabic and Tang Dynasty, and asked them to teach these Arab soldiers to speak Tang Dynasty in the military camp.
You can't become a Tang Dynasty person in the future. You can't even speak a little bit of Tang Dynasty dialect, right?
"Don't worry, Old Fa. Let me tell the people below you that although we will use all means to deal with the enemy, we will never target civilians."
Tang Ping said to Fakhr al-Din.
Speaking of this, he also despised Fakhr al-Din. Back then, they killed all the Indian people in Viramala City.
It can only be said that it is a good thing that they are not ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will retaliate and massacre dozens of Arab cities before giving up.
\"Thank you!\" Many of the Arab soldiers in Tianzhu have family members who are still in the Arab Empire. They are most worried about Tang Ping's attack on Arabia. Their families are also the ones they are most worried about. Now that they have Tang Ping's guarantee, they can feel more at ease.
At this time, many Arab soldiers even looked forward to the early defeat of the Arab Empire so that they could be reunited with their families.
I have to say that they have been living really well in Datang recently.
Although the Tang Dynasty also had a hierarchical system, it was much better than the Arab Empire. Just a noble could not kill civilians at will, which made them envious.
Moreover, there are many paths for advancement in the Tang Dynasty, and there are many ways for people at the bottom to cross class.
Therefore, these Arab Empire soldiers had less and less resistance to joining the Tang Dynasty.
Two hundred thousand troops left the city of Viramāra and entered the Arab Empire only to find that the defense here was empty.
After arresting a few people and asking, they found out that Qian Laosan and Luo Siye led people to bombard them all the way, and one person bombarded them all the way from the Persian Gulf.
The other one went along the Red Sea coast, bombarding coastal cities while heading towards the capital of the Arab Empire. The emperor of the Arab Empire, who already had insufficient troops, panicked.
After several consecutive meetings, everyone unanimously decided that the security of the capital Damascus was the most important.
So they simply mobilized all the garrison troops from all over the country back to Damascus, the capital of the Arab Empire.
After all, if the Arab Empire wins the battle in Tianzhu in the east, the defenders in the east will not need to defend.
However, if the Arab Empire's 600,000-strong army was defeated in the battle in Tianzhu to the east, then the defenders would certainly not be able to hold on to the Tang army that threatened victory.
"It seems that General Qian and General Luo did a good job this time and put a lot of pressure on each other!" Li Jing said happily. According to the current situation, they can march straight in and attack Damascus.
Mainly because the naval guns installed by the navy have rarely been updated, so the production of shells for these naval guns has basically never stopped.
This allowed the South China Sea Fleet and East China Sea Fleet led by two old pirates to have enough artillery to bombard cities along the coast of the Arabian Peninsula.
However, the artillery range at this time was not that far. Their bombardment was mainly of a deterrent nature, and most of them destroyed the city wall on the sea side.
The damage to the civilians in the city was not great. After all, everyone was not stupid. After knowing that the city ahead was bombarded, they quickly fled when they saw warships coming from the sea.
In this way, it only took a month and a half for the Tang army, led by Li Jing, to conquer the city and land, and reached Damascus, the capital of the Arab Empire, with overwhelming force.
This historic city had concentrated almost all the forces of the Arab Empire at this time, and then hunkered down in it.
They had no intention of coming out to fight the Tang Dynasty. These Tang troops could defeat the 600,000-strong army of Arum and Fakhr al-Din, the two famous Arab generals, and their combat power must be extraordinary.
The Arab Empire only has this little capital, and if it is lost by fighting outside the city, there will be nothing left.
Anyway, the Tang Expeditionary Army came from a long distance, and the supply line must be long. After a long time, they ran out of supplies and naturally retreated.
The two sides reached a stalemate under the city of Damascus.
"Congratulations to wbG for their first victory in the Swiss round. I wrote this in an Internet cafe before watching the concert today. I think I am also very strong."
