Chapter 574 Asking for Weapons
Xiao Tiansheng froze in place, frowning.
There is no need to mention how important weapons and armor are to the army. Lin Xiaofan's request affected the lives of many generals, so naturally no one could agree to it. There was nothing he could do about it.
About half a quarter of an hour passed until the Emperor of Tang Dynasty frowned, and the little eunuch beside him hurriedly waved his fly whisk and shouted:
"quiet!"
The sharp voice spread throughout the court, and many ministers regained some sense and stood back to their original positions.
For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to the Tang Emperor, waiting for his decision.
"Messenger Daqian, weapons and armor are the foundation of the country, how can we give them away at will?"
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty looked deserted.
All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
All civil servants thought that giving Da Gan weapons and armor was too risky.
And although the sale of weapons and armor is not prohibited between countries, they all regard them as treasures and do not trade them. If Datang sets this precedent, there may be diplomatic problems. These changes are not what they want to see.
As for the military generals, they are still thinking about using weapons and armor to expand the army. How can there be any reason to give them away in just a few words? The worst case scenario is that they start a war with Tianlang Tianwu at the same time.
As for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it was even simpler.
Every set of armor and weapons can create a soldier, and he is not willing to trade them.
Dongfang Yun looked at Lin Xiaofan, his eyes filled with gloating.
Wanting the weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty is really a fool's errand.
However, Lin Xiaofan's always calm expression made him confused.
Lin Xiaofan did not panic at this time, but was actually a little happy.
The importance of weapons and armor to a country is self-evident, and every country needs them.
If you think about it from his perspective, he was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and would not agree to such a ridiculous request.
As for why he was happy, it was because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not explicitly say no, which meant that there was room for maneuver.
"Your Majesty, Dagan is indeed in danger now. It's okay to deal with small countries. If the Sirius Kingdom sends troops, we will never be our opponents. At that time, we will only have to surrender. If Dagan falls into the hands of the Sirius Kingdom, Datang will be restrained in every way. "
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to analyze for Datang.
Hearing this, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also frowned.
He had not been in power for long, and he had never considered that the Sirius Congress would take action against the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, it seems to be passive now.
If Daqian falls, then the Tang Dynasty will have to deploy 100,000 troops in the southern border to deal with the attack from Tianwu Kingdom at any time. and
The southern part of the Tang Dynasty has always been without war, and the defensive strength of the city is far inferior to that of the northern and western regions.
Can we only give Daqian weapons and armor? But although the two countries were allies, he was unwilling to give it up like this. Besides, if Daqian is still captured after getting the things, wouldn't that mean sending equipment to the Sirius Kingdom?
It's not that he doesn't trust Daqian, it's mainly because Daqian is too young.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty looked at Sun Wufeng, wanting to hear his opinion.
Sun Wufeng opened his eyes, glanced at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and then closed them again, looking at ease like an old god, which made the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty quite helpless.
"There is an alliance between the four major countries, and they cannot use troops against small countries at will. If Sirius really sends out troops, we, the Tang Dynasty, will also provide our full assistance."
Wei Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to speak. He was going to disrupt Lin Xiaofan's plan. In addition, the two had already enmity against each other before, so naturally he would not let Lin Xiaofan succeed.
"But we can't resist it even for a moment."
Lin Xiaofan spread his hands and looked helpless.
"The four major kingdoms have always abided by the rules. How could they openly attack Daqian? If that were the case, wouldn't they be going against the other three major kingdoms? Besides, there is Da Qi State to the north of the Sirius Kingdom. If Sirius sends a large-scale army, Da Qi will definitely also How can Sirius take such a big risk if he can send troops?"
"Envoy Daqian, you came here with sincerity. We support the alliance. But don't even think about supporting weapons!"
"Your Majesty, we must not hand over our weapons. I can go to Daqi to discuss the alliance. With Daqi in check, the Tang Dynasty will not be attacked from both sides."
"Your Majesty, even if they really use their weapons, they may not be able to defend against the Sirius Kingdom's attack. These weapons and equipment are the most reliable in their own hands."
Many ministers spoke out in opposition.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also wanted to make a decision, but when he glanced at Sun Wufeng from the corner of his eye, he saw the latter shaking his head slightly, as if to tell him not to worry.
The objections from the ministers were endless, which gave the Emperor of Tang Dynasty a headache. He could not seriously think about Sun Wufeng's ideas, so he could only retreat first:
"Dismiss the dynasty!"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty shouted loudly, showing his dignity without anger, and the place fell silent instantly.
After finishing his words, he quickly left the court.
Many ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty did not agree.
This powerful envoy really overestimates his capabilities.
Only a few ministers looked gloomy, wondering what they were thinking.
Lin Xiaofan walked out of the palace and carefully considered today's events.
Not long after, a hand was placed on his shoulder. He was so frightened that he quickly turned around and saw a smiling Sun Wufeng.
"General Sun, you scared me to death."
Lin Xiaofan said with a wry smile.
Although Sun Wufeng is old, his martial arts skills are not weak at all. Along the way, he didn't notice at all.
"Haha, you still need to practice your martial arts. Strategy is important, but if you don't have martial arts, you might be tricked one day. If you have time, you can come to my house and I will teach you a few tricks. Just treat it like a scare. to your compensation.”
Sun Wufeng said cheerfully.
"Then I'll thank General Sun in advance."
Lin Xiaofan hurriedly responded and couldn't help but think, is there such a good thing?
Sun Wufeng has been on the battlefield for hundreds of years, and he is number one in the list of divine generals. He has many unique skills hidden in him. Revealing anything casually will be of great benefit to yourself.
"Follow me to the imperial study. The emperor is looking for you."
The purpose of what Sun Wufeng said.
Lin Xiaofan had already expected this, so he responded and followed. The two of them walked side by side to the Imperial Study Room. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was correcting government affairs. When he saw Sun Wufeng arriving, he hurriedly greeted him:
"Teacher, come in and sit down!"
Sun Wufeng was the teacher of the Tang Emperor when he was young.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty lost his previous indifference and put on a smile. He was serving tea and pouring water. This was something Lin Xiaofan had never seen before.
Sun Wufeng's status in the heart of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be much higher than he expected.
"Lin Xiaofan, you can do it too, no need to be polite."
After a while, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty thought of Lin Xiaofan.
"I have called you two here this time. One is to discuss the alliance, and the other is to discuss the death of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty in Da Gan."
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not mention weapons and armor immediately. Instead, he talked about the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, who were not very important in comparison.
