Patriarch Jemu stood on the balcony and looked at the sea: "Your Excellency, we in Rome need a new phase, the old slave era has passed, and now there needs a new policy for slaves. The glory of Rome is in the past, and now it is the glory of Athens and Constantine, but the city of Rome should return to our bosom. ”

"More than half of Rome is occupied by someone else."

Patriarch Gemu said that Rome was just a city, and Willow Mu said that Rome was the original territory of the Roman Empire in ancient Roman times.

At the moment, many places are occupied by the Vandals.

"Your Excellency, we need a ship."

"I'm sorry, the shipbuilding skills of the big warship are a secret that I don't pass on to the Tang Dynasty, but we can help you build ships and share most of the technology, especially the technology of all-sail sea ships."

Yanagi is not going to take out top-of-the-line technology.

The full-sail type given by Liumu is also the old full-sail type, which belongs to the original experimental nature of Datang, and the new sail-mast combination Datang belongs to the secret technology.

After Liu Mu returned to the Red Sea again, he changed ships.

Leaving his original fleet, he changed six ships from Dugu Shura's new heavy warship, and then went to Spice Bay to pick up Dugu Lanruo.

"Husband, you're going to go there."

Faced with Dugu Lanruo's question, Liu Mu's eyes kept looking west, Liu Mu wanted to go to the Americas from Northern Europe once, but after thinking about it again and again, he shook his head, this road is too far, and there are countless dangers, and he can't take his whole family to adventure.

It's time to go back.

"Madame, let's go to Ceylon."

"Ceylon?" Dugu Lanruo said that she didn't understand, what was particularly good about that island.

"War, it just so happens that I have more than 100,000 slave soldiers, these people staying in the Mediterranean will make Emperor Heraclius uneasy, not far from the Red Sea to Ceylon, there are two small kingdoms there, I believe it will end without war."

Dugu Lanruo didn't like to fight, so she whispered to Liu Mu: "This is an invasion. ”

"Yes, but we've given them a better life, and all I'm going to do is get rid of all the nobles. Then the island of Ceylon was planted with tea, so that there was no need to always transport tea from Lingnan to the Mediterranean, and Ceylon would become the second important tea plantation, mainly growing black tea. For the rest, if you think about it from another angle, I'm doing a good thing. ”

Liu Mu said that the invasion was doing a good thing, and Dugu Lan didn't believe it anyway.

Liu Mu didn't believe it himself, but he still explained to Dugu Lanruo: "You don't know, the people on that island are divided into two factions, and they are also two small kingdoms, fighting and killing all day long, and the nobles don't die, and the dead are ordinary people." I give them a new life and let them learn from the civilization of our Datang. ”

Dugu Lanruo didn't want to persuade anymore.

She suddenly found that she didn't know when Liu Mu and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin began to expand wildly.

Then concentrate the wealth of the entire world in Datang.

Countless materials were shipped to Datang, countless wealth was shipped to Datang, and countless outstanding talents also went to Datang.

"Husband, kill less." Dugu Lanruo can only persuade like this.

Liu Mu didn't want to either, but this was what the Tang Emperor needed.

Ceylon Island is very important, after establishing a base here, you can attack Tianzhu to the north, attack the west coast of the Six Zhao to the east, and control the important route of Datang to the Mediterranean Sea to the south, so this island is very important to Datang.

In fact, Dugu Lanruo didn't see the battle at all.

As early as when Dugu Shura went to the Mediterranean, he had already dealt with the situation on the island of Ceylon in advance, which was already a big island under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

If Dugu Lan doesn't like this, or because this is the first place that Datang invaded in the true sense.

Liu Mu coaxed Dugu Lanruo for three days, but Dugu Lanruo didn't have any smile on her face.

Liu Muyi gritted his teeth: "Madam, there is a place I originally planned to approach in five years, at least five years, and I will take you there now." ”

"Five years?"

Dugu Lan didn't expect Liu Mu to have such a distant plan, so she immediately asked, "What's there?" ”

"There is the most perfect in the world, emperor-grade jadeite. It would be almost 800 years before it was discovered, and the jade material there was unparalleled in the world, and I couldn't find any words to describe it. ”

"There?" Dugu Lanruo really became interested.

Liu Mu took out a map of the world that he drew by feeling from the study, and then pointed it out to Dugu Lanruo.

"This is, Tengyue Zhao."

"Yes, it is about a hundred miles west from Tengyue Zhao."

"It's too dangerous, where is the beautiful jade that the husband said?" Dugu Lanruo stared at the map without even blinking her eyes. Obviously, Liu Mu underestimated the depth of jade culture of the Tang Dynasty aristocracy.

Liu Mu drew a circle on the map: "The best jade in the world is in this circle, you remember that Shangshu Province once promised me several mining areas, as well as overseas fiefdoms, I have kept it useless." I'm going to mark this piece out for you, my lady, and this is the only place in the world that produces jadeite. ”

"Jade, good name." Dugu Lanruo helped Liu Mu roll up the map while speaking: "Husband, I'm not in a hurry, I can afford to wait for five years." It's better to plan well now, how to pacify the six edicts, the six edicts are a big trouble in the second brother's heart, because of the existence of the six edicts, the southwest is always unstable. ”

"So, let's go to Haixi New Town."

Dugu Lanruo was stunned for a moment, obviously she hadn't heard that this Haixi New Town was there.

"It's at the top of Long Bay, where General Niu Jinda just captured a few months ago," Yanagi explained. ”

Hay West New Town, which later became the location of Bangkok, did not have a city and not many people at this time.

Lionwood arrives with his Indigo Raiders, putting a lot of pressure on the Fuso soldiers.

Indigo Raiders were already very good at mountain warfare, they didn't need much heavy weaponry, they only wore breastplates that protected the front and back, and each was given a one-foot-diameter steel round shield, and an axe, or a weighted horizontal knife, or a kind of oddly shaped mace.

Then each of them had a bow, and it became a fierce mountain combat unit.

After only three days of rest, Woodwally and his men fought continuously, and in five days and five nights they advanced one hundred and twenty miles, breaking two lines of defense that the Fuso soldiers had not captured, and occupying an important high ground.

At Wood's barracks, Willow Wood and Niu Jinda gave Wood a promise.

Because Wood already knew what the Fuso soldiers were all about.

In Wood's eyes, the Fusang soldiers were not more noble than them, an island country that had been destroyed, and the whole clan was merged into the noble Tang Dynasty, and they were ridiculously weak compared to the real main army of the Tang Dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that the main army of the Tang Dynasty could not draw enough troops, there would be no chance for the Fusang soldiers to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield of the Indochina Peninsula.
