Chapter 992 993 They like me
Suddenly, another girl in a white dress rushed out of the crowd. She rushed desperately to a Datang Empire platoon leader who was following the team and walking on one side of the team, waving to the crowd.
Amid everyone’s laughter and cheers, the girl bravely hugged the Tang Empire platoon leader and kissed the platoon leader directly on the cheek.
“Wow!” Many people in the crowd cheered, and then some started laughing. The brave girl blushed and hid in the crowd, while the Tang Empire platoon leader wiped the saliva from his face in embarrassment while laughing.
“Why doesn’t anyone come to kiss me?” In the team, the young soldier began to tease his platoon leader. This kind of moment is a rare opportunity, no matter how much they tease the platoon leader, they will not fall out.
The Great China Empire and the cultural circle of the slave countries to which it belongs have always been conservative. The girls here are far less open-minded than those in the Eastern Continent, so this kind of kissing in the street is not common.
But when someone makes the move, the reserve is thrown aside and disappears. Because many Chu people know that in the Tang Empire, soldiers... that is a symbol of glory!
In the Tang Empire, those respected officials were almost all from the military; in the Tang Empire, the nobles with high status were all people with outstanding military achievements; even those who were handsome and unrestrained on the big screen Handsome and handsome celebrities are all former soldiers!
Being able to marry a soldier was considered extremely noble by women in the Tang Dynasty. The courtesy that military wives received in the Tang Empire was unimaginable in other countries, so starting a family with a soldier was the dream of many women in the Tang Dynasty.
"They like me!" A soldier from the Tang Empire raised his head and saw a young girl waving her arms to his team from the window of the building, proudly showing off to her comrades.
"Do they like you? What they like is your clothes." His comrades poured cold water on him: "If you only have one-third of your current salary, would you even look at those girls looking at you? "
The salary of soldiers in the Tang Empire has always been much higher than that of other countries. This is partly because the training of soldiers in the Tang Empire is indeed difficult, and on the other hand, it is also because the economic conditions of the Datang Empire are much better than those of other empires.
"I'm sorry, sir! Can't you say something nice?" The young soldier cursed as he stretched out his hand to wave to the girl waving to him from the high-rise window.
Some things can only be missed after all, because the soldiers who come here basically have families in China: after all, soldiers are very popular in the Tang Empire, and there are not many singles.
Even if they were single before joining the army, when the soldiers returned home during the holidays, they would immediately be visited by matchmakers who came to propose marriage: There was no way, women who were eager to obtain the citizenship of the Tang Empire were like crucian carp crossing the river, and they had to compete for jobs.
Graceful female elves, cute and sweet cat-eared girls... If you don't have any talents such as dancing, and don't have any family inheritance, it would be a bit difficult to become a citizen by marrying a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.
That's why the civilians in Nanshan Port are so crazy, that's why they are so excited. Because they became legal citizens of the Tang Empire without any effort!
Do you know what the nationality of the Tang Empire means? It means that they can no longer be oppressed by the nobles, and no longer need to live in a low-key manner. They can live an upright life, and they can be a real person even if they are moving boxes at the dock!
The landowners who exploited them have been eliminated in the Tang Empire, and the old nobles in the fish and meat villages will also be liquidated and expelled. For an ordinary person, the Tang Empire was paradise, the "ideal land" they longed for.
From today on, they will be able to live a peaceful life by paying only one type of tax in proportion to their income, as the crew members of the Tang Empire said. They don’t have to pay the “female tax” to give birth to a daughter, and they don’t have to pay the “ding tax” to give birth to a boy…
Those who farm don’t have to pay taxes and even receive subsidies, and those who open factories receive technical guidance.
When they discuss business, they don’t need to be submissive just because the other party is a noble, and they don’t need to bow their heads and give in when they argue with businessmen from other countries...
What could be better than these things? What could be more exciting than a life filled with hope for the future?
So they cheered and they waved their arms wildly. They shouted, louder than the mountain, long live the Tang Empire, and louder than the mountain, long live the Emperor.
At this moment, in their minds, there is only one Emperor, and there should be only one Emperor in the world! That was the emperor of the Tang Empire, the only emperor they recognized!
As the soldiers of the Tang Empire walked through the streets and approached the outskirts of Nanshan Port, they suddenly discovered that they had been subjected to the most brutal "attack" along the way.
Their military uniforms were in a mess. Some soldiers were holding eggs, while others were holding bananas and pineapples.
Many people had food stuck to their clothes, some from sauces and some from soup, and many people had oil stains on the corners of their mouths.
The most despicable thing is that some soldiers still have lipstick on their cheeks, and some of them are holding empty beer glasses and don't know where to return them. After Xiong Biao reluctantly ceded Nanshan Port, he kept it secret and prepared to trick the Tang Empire into receiving troops, but it was easily crushed to pieces.
Originally, he planned to let the confused civilians give a good "welcome" to the Tang troops who came from afar. When the time came, the people threw stones and tiles in anger, and the soldiers of the Tang Empire could not restrain themselves and fired back.
The streets are in chaos, and the entire Nanshan Port will be in chaos because of the handover problem! The arrogant Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would also feel the hostility in the Chu Kingdom through this incident.
At that time, the Tang Empire must rely on the Chu State to appease Nanshan Port, and then the public opinion in the Chu State will also make the decision-makers of the Datang Empire somewhat wary.
Well, unfortunately, nothing he expected happened. The locals in the local garrison did not even leave Nanshan Port.
After they handed over their defense zone posts, they took off their military uniforms and went directly home to celebrate. Some of the more outrageous ones didn't even take off their military uniforms, and went to greet the new Tang Army in the street - they were recorded by the videographer, and became a rare video material: a group of outdated Tang Army soldiers, waving to welcome the new Tang Army entering the city...
What annoyed Xiong Biao the most was that the families of several senior military officials and court ministers were originally located in Nanshan Port, but they went to Tang State overnight without saying a word.
Yes, they are all “foreigners” now. Moreover, for the servant country Chu, the Tang people were particularly untouchable.
Yes, that's right, many high-ranking officials from Chu State used this method to become naturalized in the Tang Empire. They transformed from the old bureaucratic family of Chu State into legal citizens of the Tang Empire.
Even the official positions in Chu State that they valued so highly in the past were no longer wanted. Many people ran away overnight and left their official seals and official uniforms directly at the official offices.
Originally, they wanted to catch the Tang Empire by surprise, but now Chu State itself was caught off guard. Now Xiong Biao has to think carefully about where he can find so many officials to take over the large land in the northern part of Shu.
Under the joint pressure from the Tang Empire, Chu State, and Qin State, Shu State has withdrawn most of its troops from the northern region.
According to the conspiracy between the Qin State and the Tang Empire, this place should have been given to the Chu State in exchange for Nanshan Port and given to the Tang Empire. But now, looking at the almost undefended northern part of Shu, Qin still couldn't help but make some moves.
They occupied part of the area that should have been handed over to the Chu State, and occupied these areas on the pretext of helping to suppress regional resistance forces and stabilize trade routes.
Chu State was originally reluctant to exchange Nanshan Port, but now it became even more furious. King Xiong Biao of Chu sent a special envoy to Qin to ask for an explanation. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the special envoy stationed in Chang'an to ask for help from the Tang Empire.
The Tang Empire, which was busy appeasing the people at Nanshan Port, deliberately encouraged Qin's arrogance and ignored Chu's requests. Of course, no one can tell whether this was due to the Tang Empire's attack on Chu.
Chu State made small moves on the handover of Nanshan Port, which may have caused dissatisfaction with the Tang Empire. Therefore, Xiong Biao could only pretend to be crazy and act foolishly, acquiescing to the Tang Empire's attitude that it would not care about Qin's transgression.
Yingduo waited for the feedback from the Tang Empire and believed that the Tang Empire must not be forced to be involved in the diplomatic incident of the slave state Chu, so it became even more unscrupulous.
The original agreement with the Tang Empire to only take the northern area of Shu was thrown aside by Yingduo and his generals. Qin's troops began to attack the Shushan defense line with no intention of stopping.
Because the Qin State occupied the northern third of the "Chu State Territory" of the Shu State, the Chu State began to secretly support the Shu State. For a time, the entire southern region of the Western Continent developed directly from the Qin and Shu duo into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the war was so fierce. It's so exciting to call one.
Coupled with the civil war in the Great China Empire, the peace on the Western Continent seems to have disappeared. Only the most powerful Tang State seems to be uninterested in this war. After they obtained Nanshan Port, they began to isolate themselves and did not care about the surroundings. The fighting of the country.
While the Western Continent was in a state of chaos, the Tang Empire was carrying transport ships loaded with all kinds of advanced arms, delivering radars, Scud missiles and other weapons and equipment purchased by various countries on the Eastern Continent to the militaries of various countries.
Countries that had obtained these advanced weapons were all overjoyed, and began to build countless radar stations on their own territories according to the drawings sold to them by the Tang Empire...
