Ang Lee knew that as long as he made a request, the King of Rao Yue would definitely fulfill it. Moreover, this was only a young dancer, not an important person. Giving her to Ang Lee as a gift was the same as giving Ang Lee an ordinary commodity. The King would not feel the slightest bit of heartache.
Ang Lee came all the way here to help a small country like Rao Yue annihilate the pirates, allowing the merchants and people of these small countries to live a happy and stable life. His contribution was huge. It was not excessive to ask for a young girl. In the Tang dynasty, where human rights were not developed, such a request was very common.
Even in the future, where human rights were strong, as long as one paid a little money, one could play with young girls. As long as one had money, everything could be settled.
In any era, there was a gap between the rich and the poor. The more prosperous the era, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor. Under such circumstances, the rich could use the resources in their hands to freely humiliate the poor and play with the poor.
Of course, in addition to the gap between the rich and the poor, there was also the gap in power. Those who held power could use their power to obtain huge benefits for themselves. They could even openly bully ordinary people who had no power or status.
Ang Lee was now a shameful person in power. He could bully others at will. Even the King of Rao Yue could be bullied by Ang Lee, let alone a little dancer.
"Little Loli, your King has already given you to me. From now on, you are mine."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Yes, I am yours from now on."
Little Loli replied.
Ang Lee said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad at all. You are too obedient. I like it. Come, sit in my arms."
As he spoke, he took Little Loli into his arms. He and the King of Rao Yue toasted each other and drank happily.
Ang Lee's alcohol tolerance was very high. No matter how much he drank, he would not get drunk. However, if he drank too much, he would become very excited and sometimes it would be difficult for him to control his words and actions.
"Little Loli, come, eat some fruit."
Ang Lee picked up a piece of fruit and stuffed it into the little loli's mouth.
The little loli obediently ate the fruit and looked at Ang Lee with a smile on her face. Obviously, these dancers had undergone a certain degree of training. They knew etiquette and maintained their cute lolita appearance.
Seeing the little loli eat the fruit, Ang Lee was even happier than when he ate it himself. He smiled and lightly stroked the little loli's body, feeling her body.
There weren't many silk leaves on the little loli's body, but there were two large ones in front of her chest. Her back was completely smooth, and there was a full circle below, making her look very youthful and energetic.
There were two large leaves on her chest. As long as she gently pulled them, she would be able to see the spring scenery inside. The leaves below were also very easy to handle. As long as she gently lifted them up, she would be able to see the spring scenery.
Ang Lee made a bet with himself in his heart that the little lolis were not wearing underwear. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he gently lifted the silk leaves below.
"As expected, there is nothing."
Ang Lee saw the intoxicating spring scenery and confirmed his guess. The little loli were indeed not wearing underwear. They were only wearing some silk leaves and nothing else.
After all, Rao Yue's climate was tropical and the temperature was relatively high all year round. Wearing underwear would be very stuffy and it would be easy to breed bacteria, which would lead to diseases. Using a few leaves to block the air would allow for ventilation. This was very beneficial for Jiankang. Moreover, there would not be any strange odors due to the airtight environment. It was a very good method. In addition, it would save on cloth and reduce the cost of living.
The little loli was fresh and tender, white and tender, and very cute. Ang Lee's status here was actually higher than the King of Rao Yue. Therefore, he could touch the little loli as he wished. The King of Rao Yue was not idle either. There were beauties beside him. As for the rest, they were much more obedient. In front of a big shot, they did not dare to be rash.
Ang Lee ate this delicious meal very happily. With the little loli accompanying him, how could he not be happy?
After eating and drinking, Ang Lee and the King of Rao Yue discussed the details of tariffs and other issues. These issues were almost finished, but there were some details that the King of Rao Yue did not agree to. They were bargaining, thinking that they could get the most benefits.
In order to persuade the King of Rao Yue, Ang Lee had to use his own long-term plan and use future achievements to induce the King of Rao Yue to listen to Ang Lee's suggestion.
Of course, Ang Lee did not speak carelessly. As long as the small countries like Rao Yue fully agreed to the requirements of the Tang Dynasty and let the Maritime Silk Road fully operate, they would definitely benefit from it for the rest of their lives. They would lose some immediate benefits, but they could gain more benefits in the future. Why not?
Any negotiation must be at the cost of a win-win situation. Only a win-win situation could be recognized by both sides. The Tang Dynasty's construction of the Maritime Silk Road was a win-win situation in itself, which could be accepted by both sides.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty would get the biggest piece of the cake, while the other countries along the way could only get a small piece. This seemed a little unfair, but the Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country, so of course, it should get the biggest share. Moreover, the Maritime Silk Road needed to be defended by garrisons, which required a lot of financial support. If the Tang Empire could not get the biggest share of the benefits, it would be a loss, right?
The small countries along the way should be aware of this. They were helpless in the face of powerful pirates, and even their governments were in danger of being overthrown. Only the powerful Tang Empire could help them. Moreover, the Tang Empire's long-term military force on the Maritime Silk Road could protect the small countries along the way, allowing these small countries to develop economic and trade with peace of mind. They did not need to spend too much financial resources to develop their defense forces, which could be said to reduce their burdens.
Since the Tang Empire had paid a huge amount of financial resources to maintain and protect the navies of the countries along the way, these small countries certainly had to let the Tang Empire gain more benefits. Only in this way could they achieve a win-win situation.
"Your Royal Highness, do you know how expensive a steam gunship is?"
Ang Lee looked at the King of Rao Yue, who was frowning, and asked.
The King of Rao Yue shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "It's very expensive. Just one steam gunship is enough to buy the whole of Rao Yue."
"It's actually so expensive."
The King of Rao Yue was frightened.
In addition, there are even more advanced landing ships and the Sky Army's mothership. My ship is even more expensive. Oh right, each of the steam gunships has dozens of cannons. Among them, the price of a cannon is even more expensive than a car. Every cannonball that is fired is very expensive. In one attack, at least tens of thousands of cannonballs will be fired. All of this is money! "
The King of Rao Yue complained, "So, the Tang Empire's imperial court spent so much money to eliminate the pirates, and the small countries along the way like us all benefited. Then, what do we have to complain about? We are willing to cooperate with the Tang Empire and follow the Tang Empire wholeheartedly in the future. "
Seeing that the King of Rao Yue even gave up on his last request, Ang Lee was very happy. This way, the negotiations could be considered to have made good progress. In the future, the Tang Empire's interests in Rao Yue would be well protected.
After discussing official matters, Ang Lee and the King of Rao Yue talked about some private matters. In fact, it was not considered a private matter. They were just talking about women. For example, the women in Rao Yue were very beautiful, very warm, and very likable.
In the evening, the King of Rao Yue invited Ang Lee for a meal again. This time, the meal was just as sumptuous, and he sincerely invited Ang Lee to stay for a few more days.
Ang Lee did not refuse and readily agreed. After all, Zhang Batian still needed a long time to arrive in Malacca. He could stay in Rao Yue for a few more days.
Seeing that Ang Lee agreed to stay for a few more days, the King of Rao Yue was very happy and promised to give Ang Lee the best treatment. Ang Lee could go anywhere in Rao Yue, except for the bed of the King's wife.
Ang Lee was also very generous. He lent one of his cars to the King of Rao Yue for a few days. In this way, it could be considered as promoting the automobile industry of the Tang Empire. Moreover, the King of Rao Yue was a person who loved to show off. He would definitely share the joy of riding with his officials. In this way, the entire senior management of Rao Yue would be interested in cars.
At that time, the King could buy a more luxurious model, and his officials could buy a less expensive model. In this way, the market would be opened. The people of Rao Yue would definitely have to deal with the people of the surrounding countries. In this way, it would definitely stimulate the aristocrats of the surrounding countries, and they would also become buyers of the Tang Empire's cars.
Ang Lee's calculation was very good. Lending his car to others could contribute to the Tang Empire.
At night, his days were even better. A twelve-year-old lolita was serving him in his bed. This was a feeling that went without saying. If it was in his previous life, this would be a serious crime. But in the current era of Great Tang, this was completely legal. The reason was that Li An's status was high, and this lolita had no status at all. Even if he killed her, no one would do anything to him.
Ang Lee stayed in Rao Yue for three whole days. During the day, he ate, drank, and played. At night, he let the Lolita serve him. His days were very good. At the same time, in these three days, he also found a lot of precious resources in Rao Yue. This was very beneficial for the Tang Empire's businessmen to develop Rao Yue in the future.
After three days, Ang Lee was going to leave Rao Yue and return to Malacca. Before leaving, the King of Rao Yue tried to buy one of Ang Lee's cars. However, Ang Lee didn't bring much with him this time. If he sold it to the King, he wouldn't be able to go for a ride. Moreover, they were so familiar with each other. If he sold it to the King, he would be embarrassed. If he sold it to the King, he would suffer a loss. So, he simply didn't sell it.
When he left, Ang Lee didn't take the Lolita with him. He returned her to the King of Rao Yue. After all, she was too young. At first, he felt that she was a little fresh. After a few days, he felt that her body was too thin and didn't feel good to touch.
Ang Lee felt that he was too boring. He threw away such a cute Lolita after playing with her. It was as if he was throwing away a piece of clothing. He didn't even frown.
The fleet soon returned to Malacca. After a few days of tidying up, Malacca looked brand new. All the ruins caused by the shells were cleaned up. Moreover, new barracks were built for the newly surrendered soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion.
In order to prevent the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion from rebelling, the Tang Army mixed up the Vanguard Battalion. The subordinates of White Wolf, Wolf One, and Black Wolf were not allowed to be grouped together. Moreover, there were also factions within the same group of pirates. After all, the scale of these pirates was too large. It was impossible for so many people to be united. As long as they mixed up those who were not united, there would be a certain degree of distrust within the group. Naturally, they wouldn't dare to conspire together to rebel.
In addition, considering that the origins of the pirates were too complicated, some of them were criminals who didn't dare to go home, some of them were idlers in society, some of them were fishermen who wanted to make a fortune, and some of them were small businessmen who were forced to join. Therefore, they had to be treated differently. Those who had a pure mind were given priority to be promoted, while those who had a bad heart were suppressed and promoted. They even had to find some excuses to get rid of them so that they wouldn't lead the troops astray.
The main force was still scattered to suppress the remaining pirates. In addition to the pirates in Malacca, the small pirate groups in the surrounding areas could not be let go. Five steam-powered landing ships were used separately to encircle and suppress more places at once.
In Malacca, there were at least 3,000 soldiers encircling and suppressing the remaining pirates in the dense forest. Although Black Wolf personally went out to summon his hidden subordinates to surrender, there were still some people who did not trust Black Wolf. They even thought that the Black Wolf in front of them was a fake. After all, there were too many people under Black Wolf's command. Many of them were stationed far away, so they didn't have many chances to meet the Black Wolf. Even if they did, they didn't dare to stare at the Black Wolf's face. Therefore, they weren't sure whether the one they saw was the real Black Wolf. In addition, because they had done bad things, they were afraid of being punished and would rather fight to the death than surrender.
The only thing the Tang Army in charge of encircling and suppressing these stubborn pirates was to eliminate them completely, so as to prevent them from doing bad things in the future.
After several days of encirclement and suppression, they captured many pirates. At the same time, they also annihilated many pirates who refused to surrender. There were more and more pirates in the prisoner camp. However, as long as these pirates passed the ideological education, they would soon be incorporated into the Vanguard Battalion and would not be kept as prisoners of war for long.
