Wait, Dupu brought the supplies into the palace, and the supplies began to move on their own.
Of the hundreds of carts of supplies, only the two carts at the front and back were real supplies, and the others were soldiers hiding from the Tang Dynasty.
A total of 800 Tang Dynasty elites appeared in the Arabian Palace.
What happened after that was simple. Several personal guards of the Emperor of the Arabian Empire were shot dead by Tang soldiers with arm crossbows without saying much, and then the knife was placed on his neck.
Together with the descendants of generals from various countries who arrived and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the entire palace was under the control of the Tang Dynasty in just one hour.
At this time, various nobles in Damascus City learned the news.
However, their first thought was not to rescue him, but to join the queue occupying the palace and began to welcome the Tang army into the city.
I have long wanted to surrender, but there has never been a good chance.
Now is their last chance to perform. If they don't side with the Tang Army, their last chance will be gone.
Li Jing led his army into the city, and the people hid in their rooms and secretly watched, but the nobles came with people on both sides to welcome him, which I must say was ironic.
It's not like the emperor of the Arab Empire didn't have loyal ministers, but they were all killed by these people in a short time.
If they want to surrender, these people are the biggest obstacle.
"You... you... don't keep your word!" The Arab Emperor stared at Tang Ping and the others and said.
He also said that he agreed to the terms of peace talks, but he secretly entered the palace and arrested himself.
"Why don't we keep our word? I'm known as an honest man in the world!" Tang Ping disagreed with him. He dug into the schoolbag he carried and said, "We said we agreed, but we have to report it to Our Majesty, but our Majesty does not agree to the peace talks, so of course we, the ministers, have no choice but to comply."
As he spoke, he finally took out an imperial edict from Li Shimin and handed it to the Arab Emperor: "Look, this is our Majesty's edict."
"Oh, yes, you don't know the characters of the Tang Dynasty, but it doesn't matter. You can learn it slowly after you go to the Tang Dynasty. You will have a lot of time in the future, and you can also learn to dance when you have time."
Ask people to take the Emperor of the Arab Empire down, he is going to bring him back to Chang'an.
Tang Ping took out another imperial edict from his bag, looked at it and ran after the Arab Emperor with some embarrassment, and took back the one in his hand.
I accidentally gave it to the wrong one just now. This letter needs to be read out in public.
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: The Arab Empire killed my people and robbed my caravans. Even though we, the Tang Dynasty, are thousands of miles away, we will definitely seek justice for my people. Now that we have captured the entire territory of Arabia, we will establish the Tang Bozhou Road. , Ping Guogong Tang Pingdai was in charge of Bozhou Road Observation Envoy and Jiedushi Envoy."
"Datang will gradually return the territories occupied by the Arab Empire in various countries and support the restoration of royal families in various countries. Datang is willing to strengthen international cooperation with neighboring countries in the future to safeguard common interests."
Li Shimin wrote a large piece eloquently, and Tang Ping read it again in two languages.
After finishing the recitation, all the generals of the Tang Dynasty knelt on one knee and shouted: "Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
The Arab nobles didn't know what it meant, but they also shouted "long live the Tang Dynasty" in the same way.
Then it was announced to the whole city that the Arab Empire surrendered and the Tang Dynasty occupied Damascus. The war was over. Some necessary supplies for life would be distributed to everyone, and everyone was asked to come out to collect them.
After that, Tang Ping started to get busy. The main reason is that there are too many complicated things in the Arab Empire.
There is Arabia itself... No, it should be called Bozhou Road now.
There are local affairs in Bozhou Road, and there are also those from surrounding countries that want to restore the country.
In some countries, the royal family no longer exists, and several old ministers' forces almost started fighting in Damascus over who should be the king.
In the end, it was Tang Ping who led his troops to suppress them.
Almost more than a month later, the city of Damascus finally returned to its previous calm.
The people found that the Tang Army did not pose any threat to the people. Although some people were upset because their sons died at the hands of the Tang Army in Tianzhu, it was originally an aggressive war launched by the Arab Empire, and they did not dare to show it openly. .
Others were family members who were captured, and these captured soldiers became the Hakushu Road Production and Construction Corps and returned here.
Seeing that the children at home were fine, these people's attitude towards Datang became very good.
Moreover, there will be no need to fight in the future. Although their children will have to work for the Tang Dynasty, they will be treated very well and even earn more than ordinary Arabs in the past.
Common people only want to have enough food and clothing, and earn as much as possible. Datang did much better than Arabia in the past in this regard.
After the situation here stabilized, Li Jing left one hundred thousand troops and Niu Jinda behind, and returned home first with his people.
In the future, the number of permanent troops stationed in the Tang Dynasty in the Arab Empire will probably be this number, and they will be rotated every two or three years.
Although they are far away from home, such overseas corps have extra military pay, so there is nothing unwilling for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It is always good to send more money to their families.
Gradually, the entire region began to calm down, and the countries that had been conquered by the Arabs in the past were restored one by one. These countries were like godfathers to the Tang Dynasty, but they were much more clingy than other subordinate countries of the Tang Dynasty.
There are even a few closer countries where the king has to ask Tang Ping for review before choosing a concubine.
After Tang Ping pushed several times to no avail, he could only issue a strict order directly. Each country was responsible for its own affairs, which made the situation much better.
When the area stabilized, the wealthy merchant families who bought the land in the first place and Datang's engineering team arrived.
Isn't it just for the oil in the ground that we worked so hard to bring down Arabia?
For this reason, they even built various equipment in China in advance, waiting for the dust to settle in Tang Ping, and then came over to mine their own huge wealth.
As soon as they built a simple base on the land they bought, each family and the Datang engineering team began to dig for oil.
At this time, Datang's well-drilling technology was relatively advanced, and it was possible to easily drill wells dozens of meters deep.
Well-drilling machines driven by steam engines were erected one after another and began to work hummingly.
At the same time, a lot of people were recruited from the surrounding areas to start building roads.
The concept of building roads first if you want to get rich has been deeply rooted in the Tang Dynasty.
No matter where they are, roads will be paved, and then connected to docks and the like, and preparations will begin to transport various resources to the country.
