Chapter 394 Expanding the Territory

The king of Shiguo chose to surrender.

And he chose to surrender without hesitation.

Relative to Shiguo, Talas is actually similar to the Shanhaiguan, which is blocked in front of the only mountain passage into Shiguo, passing through Talas and then passing through the valley where the Kyrgyz Mountains and the Kalatau Mountains meet to the south of it, and then the plains of the middle reaches of the Syr Darya River, without any mountains or large rivers to block it, and the army of Yang Feng, which has been fully cavalry, is at most two days, or even forced to march for one day to reach Tuozhi City. Although there are still a few small cities in the middle, they are useless, and the Talas can't last more than half an hour, let alone them, in short, unless the people of Shiguo are determined to fight to the end, just like last time, they will wait for the big cannibal to go north, and they must be able to hold out until then, otherwise the best choice is to surrender before Yang Feng, the butcher's knife falls.

As for the future......

In the future, it was a matter between Yang Feng and the big cannibal.

For the countries with the surname Zhaowu, whoever is strong they will be attached to whom, they have been attached to the Turks, attached to the Tang Dynasty, attached to the Turks, have also been attached to the Great Food, in this land, these strong people are all passers-by, and they are the masters, although the experience of these forces will cause losses to the countries with the surname Zhaowu, but for them......

Since you can't resist *****, just close your eyes and enjoy the fun!

It's the same when Yang Feng comes over!

The people of Shiguo, who had long been frightened by the terrifying combat power of the last time he broke into the city alone, rescued three thousand prisoners, and cut off the king's head, had already sent countless supplies to him before Yang Feng's army drove out of Talas, of course, there were indispensable beauties in it, such as BMW and the like, especially his hobby of liking Sogdian beauties was well known, so these ten or twenty Sogdian beauties must be sent to him first, and there was also a request attached to the above table of counties, which was reviewed by him, Then Shiguo sent a prince to Chang'an with tribute to sing praises to Li Longji, as for the future......

Li Longji will not abolish Shi Guo.

The king of Shiguo knew this, and he was originally canonized by Li Longji.

It's just that it used to be a subject country, the emperor was far away, thousands of miles away, and it didn't matter how many families he belonged to, but now he automatically requested to be attached to the county, and he was dedicated to the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly, according to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing more than to seal the king of Shiguo as a governor, and the king of Shiguo was originally the hereditary governor of Dawan in the past, but after the battle of Talas, the Tang Dynasty lost control of here, and the Dawan Governor's Mansion was automatically abolished, and now it is nothing more than re-sealing him as the governor.

The Governor of Bondage.

He still rules his country as he should.

As long as Nagong is diligent in the future, it will be fine.

However......

"First, the city of Talas is classified as Broken Leaf."

In King Shi's palace, Yang Feng sat on the throne that originally belonged to the king, and said with a proud face.

As for the king, he had to stand aside.

"But this matter is on the orders of the general."

King Shiguo said grovelly.

He knew this in his heart, since Yang Feng occupied Talas, he must control it, and if he controls Talas, he will control Shiguo, and in the future, if he is disobedient, the Tang army will block the door for two days at most, and this kind of strategic place must be controlled.

"Second, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty no longer pay taxes."

Then Yang Feng said.

"This, this ......"

King Shiguo immediately showed a look of embarrassment.

This is very bad, the people of Shiguo attach importance to business, and they also know the importance of taxes, and they can vaguely deduce what it means for Datang merchants not to pay taxes, and there has never been such an example, even if those Datang businessmen themselves have to pay taxes in Datang, but they don't pay taxes when they come here, which is a bit deceptive. The fact that the Tang merchants did not pay taxes meant that their goods were cheaper, while the local merchants naturally had to pay taxes because their goods were expensive, so they could not compete with them, and over time these Tang merchants controlled the business.

"Humph!"

Yang Feng suddenly snorted coldly.

At the same moment his hand grasped the hardwood handrail of the throne, and then he broke off a piece of wood, and then brought it to the king with a smirk, and saw that the wood fell from his hand in an instant as he clenched it......

"One, everything is according to the general's orders!"

King Shiguo said with a cold sweat on his head.

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Third, the poll tax."

Then he said.

"General, this, this ......"

The king of Shiguo wanted to cry without tears.

This butcher is too ruthless, there is no tax in the place of bondage, they don't care about surrender, just because they know that they won't lose anything if they surrender, but it's different if they have to pay a poll tax!

"What is this? The saint forgave you for the crime of killing the Tang Dynasty soldiers with the cannibals, that is the mercy of the saint, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers you killed are all the brothers of this general, I really can't kill you as a Tang soldier, but I can also use my private capacity to avenge the brothers who were killed, you killed thousands of my brothers, their souls are still there, I always should avenge them, right? You should know about the Grolos, right? You don't want to be the next Dunviga, do you? I can tell you, not only do I avenge those brothers who died, but my soldiers also have to avenge those brothers who died, many of them are still their closest relatives, and even the emperor can't control this blood revenge! You can kill one of my brothers, and I can kill ten of you, right? ”

Yang Feng said viciously.

As he spoke, his fingers suddenly reached out to the neck of the King of Shiguo, and the strange energy knife slashed lightly......

King Shiguo screamed.

"Everything is according to the general's orders!"

He was too busy screaming in horror.

"There is no basis for words, but words are evidence!"

Yang Feng immediately withdrew his finger and said.

Such a treaty that can be called a loss of power and humiliation for Shi Guo was quickly released, of course, it cannot be said to be a treaty, after all, they have already dedicated their land to the Tang Dynasty, and this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future, at most it is an agreement between the two local governments, in short, Shi Guo will cut the Talas to the Broken Leaf Guard, and in the future, the Tang Dynasty merchants will be exempt from tax in the territory of the Shi Kingdom, and the Shi Kingdom pays taxes to the Broken Leaves every year according to the head, and the tax rate is not very high, and every person regardless of gender, old and young, whether they are slaves or not, As long as the living people in the land of Shiguo are twelve copper coins a year, basically one copper coin per person a month.

This tax was naturally collected by the king of Shiguo, and Yang Feng asked him for it every year in the future.

How can he not collect Yang Feng's affairs, in short, the money will be sent to the broken leaves every year, of course, before that, the population of Shiguo needs to be counted first.

And that's for later.

But before that, the first tax of this year still has to be collected first, the year is about to pass, it is time to collect taxes, although there is no population statistics, this estimate is on the line, Shiguo is a large country in Zhaowu Jiu, from the Syr Darya River to the north to Talas, this vast and suitable for agriculture plains, all of them are Shiguo, in addition to Tuozhi City, there are many other cities such as Baishui City, so hundreds of thousands of people are always there, just count first......

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

Yang Feng said.

"Let's count your population of 250,000 first, that is, 3 million yuan, that is, 3,000 yuan, how can you be so little? Forget it, since you have already said twelve articles, let's do twelve! General Ben is still very credible, three thousand will be three thousand! In the future, if it is found that your population exceeds 250,000, you can pay back, and you can pay gold, silver, and copper coins. In addition, there is the conscription, our Tang Dynasty is here to protect you, I hope you all understand, the big cannibals like to kill those who don't believe in their tricks, just look at the tragic experience of the Persians back then. And we, the Tang Dynasty, have never interfered with your faith, and the Tang Emperor has never forced you to believe, so we are here to protect you from the invasion of the Great Cannibals, and to protect your freedom of belief, so that in the future, wars will require you to transport military supplies, and even recruit you to send troops to help fight.

Of course, it's good for you too.

Look at the cavalry I am with, they are all Turgish, see how happy they are, and you will be like them in the future. ”

He continued.

It's all come to this point, so naturally what he says is what, how dare the king of Shiguo say anything.

In fact, he also understands that Yang Feng is still much gentler than the big cannibal, and the big cannibal's style of believing in me brothers, and those who don't believe in me are too terrible, although the big cannibals haven't done this now, but that's only because they don't have absolute control over this land, and there is the enemy of Datang to contain them. And once they really control the Zhaowu countries, then Persia is a lesson from the past, Persia and Zhaowu countries are all Zoroastrian, the Persian royal family was killed by the big cannibals and had nowhere to go, the misery can be seen for all to see, if it wasn't for the Tang Dynasty to take it in, then the Persian royal family was almost wiped out, with such a lesson from the past, Zhaowu countries all understand the threat of the big cannibals.

The reason why they are swaying is nothing more than trying to fight for more benefits between the two fierce beasts of Datang and Dashi.

Small countries are like this, the world is difficult, how can you survive without relying on the door to laugh?

But in their own hearts, they are still inclined to Datang.

Of course, the key is that they no longer have the power to choose, the terrifying general in front of them is simply invincible, he is simply strong to the point that he is not human, he jumps high on the city wall, weighs hundreds of pounds like nothing, he is still invulnerable without armor, his fingers can cut through steel, and anything that enters his hands will turn into powder, which is still a person! It is said that at this time, the king of Shiguo doubted his beliefs, could it be that the immortals said by the Tang people really existed? Could it be that he is really like the legend of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of immortal disciple? But the gods of the Tang people have it, and they believe in Ahula. What is Mazda?

At this moment, the king of Shiguo was also a little dazed. 10
