King Min was right, looting has been immersed in the blood of contemporary Arab tribes, but it has nothing to do with morality, anyone who lives in such a poor and barren place will be forced by nature to do everything to survive, and the cowardly gene will be ruthlessly eliminated at the beginning. XsHuotXT

For example, Xiangxi in China, before the liberation, the people there were not also fierce people, the mountain people were farmers during the day and bandits at night, and there were almost no merchants who passed by who were not robbed. Later, the Xiangxi bandits fought fiercely for more than a year, and the bloody massacre of more than 100,000 people was carried out before the atmosphere of the whole people being bandits was completely rectified, and with the difficult period of the later ************, the population of Xiangxi was lost more than half of the population in starvation, and the bandits in Xiangxi who had been noisy since the Song Dynasty completely disappeared.

However, Li Jie did not want to kill all the Arab robbers through the massacre, and in fact did not have the strength to rectify the entire Arabian Peninsula, all he could do was to guide this force, and after the messengers from Syria went out with the holy decree of the King of Min, they were also ecstatic on the highways for the Arab tribes whose number of merchants had decreased, and converged to Jerusalem like a torrent to respond to the call of the King of Min.

Rob him Eastern Romans to go!

This is somewhat similar to the organizational form of the Vikings, where the counts who ruled the places went out on ships, and the local free peasants as warriors crossed the sea regularly every summer to plunder, and now the organizational form has only changed from a count of a few hundred households in a settlement to a large Fujian, and the scale of looting has also become tens of thousands.

In May, the number of Arab cavalry gathered in Jerusalem had exceeded the estimate of Li Ji, the commander of the march in Asia, reaching 100,000, and the number of hill peoples who had gathered from the Caucasus Mountains was also 40,000.

Drawn out of the five thousand Guanning iron cavalry from the province of Syria, and 12,000 people from the left and right Qianniuwei also joined Li Ji's command, in the battle of Lebanon Mountain, the left and right Qianniuwei lost more than half, supplemented by more than the local soldiers, the proportion of those who need to return to Tianzhu to rest is not much, and the two guards in the Yamouk River have not made many meritorious achievements, compared to those colleagues who have returned to Beijing with a large bag and a small package, from the main general Li Yexusheng to the ordinary privates are not reconciled, so the king of Min blew the battle horn, and the two took the first general to join in.

At the end of May, the British duke, the right attendant of Luantai, and Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, arrived at the Jerusalem military camp with 20,000 troops, and led the personal cavalry to stand on the Mount of Olives not far from the camp, looking at the vigorous Arab cavalry galloping wildly, trampling the sky and smoke on the land of the Jews.

But in just a moment, the Arab cavalry, which had just been galloping vigorously, turned their heads and broke into the nearby Jewish village, and the open fire insisted on shouting and looting, and the Jewish orphans and widows who robbed were crying, and Lao Li Ji was full of green muscles again.

Li Yexu, the general of the Right Thousand Niu Guard, who was accompanying him, scratched the back of his head with a smile, nodded in approval.

"What the British public said is timely, and it is indeed the military heart that can be used!"

This is also the reason why Li Jie set the meeting point near the city of Jerusalem, so that these poor and frightened Arabs should go to the Jews, and not to harm the Fujian people who had been settled near Damascus with great difficulty.

On this end, Li Ji had a headache for rectifying the more than 140,000 robbers who were in a mess, and on the other hand, Antioch was also in a mess.

Sure enough, as expected by the prime ministers present, as soon as the news of King Min's intention to continue to use troops came out, the civilian officials simply exploded, and the brutal bloody war had just ended, and they still had to continue fighting? Everyone hasn't been home for years, and they really don't want to go west anymore.

Everyone is holding their heads and working hard, what they want is glory and wealth, but now they are all at home, and they are still eating and drinking snow outside, just like Xiang Yu said back then, wealth does not return to his hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. After fighting such a big country, many people are satisfied and don't want to fight anymore!

The heads of various ministries filled in the vacancies and picked up the legacy, and hundreds of lower-level officials in the nine temples and five prisons wrote to oppose it.

And in addition to Wenchen, even the military attache is a little reluctant to do it again, of course, such as Yao Geluo, Su Lie, and other heroes who followed Li Jie to the left will not agree with Li Jie, but as the pillar of the Fujian army, the children of the Guanlong Group have written to ask to return to their hometowns, and the regiments that still stay near Antioch have a total of more than 1,000 letters, and they are full of Fengge.

More than a dozen prime ministers were annoyed and tireless, and as a last resort, Yuwenjie came forward and found Xiao Sheng, the leader of the Yanguan, and Li Gang, the leader of the Yushitai, and the Yushi doctor Li Gang for a secret talk.

After all, the matter of the king of Min to be the emperor is very important, there are a lot of old scholars and old antiques in the court, and now the great Min is still nominally the vassal minister of the Tang Dynasty, just like the last Arab defeat, the eldest grandson Wuji was a few thousand old horsemen, and the vast majority of the huge court actually fell to the eldest grandson Wuji, if you don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid there will be a storm.

Sure enough, Li Jie's hole card for being the emperor is better than the nuclear threat, not to mention who really follows Li Jie's command who doesn't want his lord to go further, and he will be on an equal footing with the Tang Dynasty in the future, and said that Li Jie has now set a goal to be emperor in Constantinople, who dares to veto?

Who is not afraid that in the future, he will be held accountable and cut off by others, that is, you will prevent my lord from becoming emperor? No sin is as great as this! Politically, standing on the wrong side has always been a big crime of quarreling and exterminating the race.

Li Gang was born in the Li family of Longxi, and the old Xiao Sheng also belonged to his relatives, and they were naturally willing to support King Min as the emperor.

On May 15, with the efforts of the prime minister and the officials, the Damin civil official group stationed in Antioch was restored to unobstructed again, who would dare not work hard? The work of impeachment! When the impeachment comes, the prime minister will wave his pen, so-and-so will be mediocre and lazy, and he should not be an official, and when the time comes, he will lose his official position and go to his post, not to mention, he will have to affect the future of his family, who will dare to protest passively and slack off?

And there is also news that the prince of Min is finally going to be called the emperor, and the Roman emperor who seized the west is in luck, and finally fights this time, which is to support the dragon's work!

The swords, guns, swords, halberds, armor, food, and medicines transported from Tianzhu were piled up in the warehouses of Antioch, piling up one large warehouse after another, and at the same time, the news of the Armenian soldiers passing through Antioch and the southern Arab cavalry gathering also solved the problem of troop sources.

The king of Min is called the emperor, it seems that this is the last battle of the Great Min, and after the official establishment of the empire, the opportunity to worship the marquis will be extremely few, and if you miss it, you may have to wait for another opportunity in the next life.

However, after being away from home for several years, I really want to go home to see!

Under this entanglement, almost two-thirds of the middle and lower-level officers still followed the group of returning troops to Tianzhu, Khorasan and even as far away as Fujian, and the remaining one-third took their own soldiers and followed Li Ji south to Jerusalem.

At the beginning of June, the Great Min Mediterranean Fleet, which was also eager for revenge, also arrived at the outer port of Jerusalem, and the old Li Ji, who had only sorted out the army for a few days, also relied on his old skills to understand all kinds of complex tribal relations in the army, although it could not be called like an arm command like the Fujian army, but at least it could be a battle!

However, just when everything was ready, the Ministry of Rites jumped out and sang the opposite tune, with Zheng Li in the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Dazhong, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, as the leader, a group of officials emphasized that Damin is a state of etiquette and cannot be rude.

Damin and Eastern Rome have been at war since the last time Constantine stabbed a knife in the back, and now, the Royal Navy under Constantine IV is still attacking the ports of Constantine IV in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Keli is bigger than life for the feudal dynasty, especially the civil officials! A group of nerds spared no effort to write the book, but fortunately, Li Jie himself also felt that he needed to prepare again, and after three days of cold war, he simply agreed to this group of officials, with Zheng Li as the main envoy and Zhao Dazhong as the deputy envoy, with a group of chattering imperial historians, to envoy to Constantinople.

On June 12, with the ultimatum of Da Min, asking Constantine IV to abdicate, and welcoming the two people who had married the Qin concubine Anna to the throne as emperor were full of confidence and boarded the sea ship to Constantinople.

The Damin mission set out from Antioch in a formation composed of three 50-meter-long fortune boats, and traveled westward for thirty-seven days, and on July 19, under the waiting of the ministers of Antioch, the three ransacked Dafu ships returned, along with Zheng Li and Zhao Dazhong's head hanging on the mast of the ship.

In the stunned ministers, the corners of Li Jie's mouth showed a sinister smile, this time, the big war is inevitable!
