Light Screen's words made everyone in the hall excited.
As far as the world can see, only Han and Qin are the only ones!
Zhang Fei even felt a little itchy and said:
"This An'i is really a good dog! In the past, he lied to deceive the Han envoys, and in the later period, he took the initiative to attack his subjects."
"What Military Advisor Pang said is true! This Anxi is afraid that the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty will join forces!"
Kong Ming looked at Liu Bei's dejected expression and understood clearly: Great Qin was in danger of rest, so why not the Great Han?
Then he comforted him and said:
"The curtain of light has said that the Anxi Kingdom Zuo will perish. It seems that the Qin Dynasty will definitely survive this disaster."
"And since the envoy during the reign of Emperor Weizong was true, then we can just wait until the lord revives the Han Dynasty and send the envoy to visit the west."
Liu Bei could only cheer up and said with a forced smile:
"The Qin Dynasty has foreign enemies, and we, the Han Dynasty, have internal troubles, but we share the same troubles."
[Due to the war between Rome and Parthia, land routes were cut off, so the mission could only go by sea. 】
It was still the same picture on the light screen. Everyone watched as a point appeared on the side of Da Qin, and then it meandered on the sea and headed towards the east.
[Also, the Kushan Empire to the west of the Han Dynasty and Parthia were in an alliance at the time, so the Silk Road was completely blocked by the Roman mission.
In 165 AD, the Roman mission set out from the Red Sea, crossed the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea to reach India, where it was repaired.
The following summer, when the southwest monsoon in the Indian Ocean began, the Roman envoys set sail again, crossing the Strait of Malacca and heading north along the Indochina Peninsula to Rinan County. This was also the route that Qin Lun later took.
After entering the Han Dynasty, it was all smooth sailing. He was received by Emperor Huan Liu Zhi in Luoyang and presented his gifts.
There was Rinan County in the Han Dynasty at that time, and wild animals were rampant at that time. Rhino horns, ivories, and hawksbill turtles were not rare things, so it was understandable that the scholar-officials at that time doubted the authenticity of this mission.
But judging from Western historical data, although Marcus Aurelius was an emperor, he was also a philosopher.
"A happy life does not require material things" is the famous saying left by this emperor. He valued thoughts over material things and abandoned enjoyment to perfect the soul.
So the Roman mission had nothing to do: the emperor didn't approve that much funding at all. 】
"Treat money like dung!" Zhang Fei understood.
"He is a wise and sincere king." Kong Ming admired him very much, especially when he contacted Emperor Huan, he praised him even more:
"In the ninth year of Yanxi's reign, this was the beginning of the disaster caused by the Party's imprisonment!"
Liu Bei also had a bad look on his face. He remembered Kong Ming's comment that was just like a teacher:
"It's okay not to sigh at Huan and Lingye."
Especially when compared with Da Qin at this time: Although I don’t know what philosophy is, it sounds like a good word!
Moreover, people are paying more attention to their thoughts. Thousands of years later, they are still praised with admiration. Emperor Huan, you need to stand up!
Mi Zhu didn't care much. To him, this sea route seemed so charming!
"This saying about monsoon should be the same thing as the wind letter mentioned by Haike, so it must be written down."
The desire to walk this route has become more and more urgent.
Ma Liang commented while copying:
"The emperor's views are quite different from the prime minister's indifference and clear ambition."
Speaking of Ma Liang, it was a pity:
"If this envoy comes to visit now, they will definitely have a great time talking with the military advisor!"
Pang Tong sneered: "Such an assertion is required of oneself. How can any envoy be indifferent and clear-minded?"
[But as the previous barrage said, the fascinating thing about history lies in its unpredictability.
In 166, Rome invaded Parthia and burned the Parthian capital of Ctesiphon, but at this time the Roman soldiers contracted smallpox.
This highly contagious disease broke out in the Roman legions. Roman morale was reduced by 1,000, and they could only retreat.
The widespread spread of smallpox caused panic in Rome. In the same year, Germanic tribes in the north also began to raid south frequently.
Fourteen years later, Aurelius, who fought frequently, died of the plague. The period of the Five Wise Emperors ended and Rome entered the period of the Thirty Tyrants.
Four years after Aurelius died of illness, a man in the distant east shouted "The sky is dead and the sky is about to stand", which sounded the death knell for the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the chaos of the Three Kingdoms officially began.
At almost the same time, the two great empires of the East and the West in the world fell into internal and external troubles, and the only exchange between the Han and Rome came to an abrupt end. 】
Everyone was sighing and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It seems that Rome is so similar to the Han Dynasty, with the same opportunities for civil strife, the same threats from the north, the same curiosity about the distant empire, and the same neighbors with evil intentions.
Even the Great Reigns in the history of the country ended at almost the same time, but...
"Thirty tyrants?" Zhang Fei clicked his tongue. If he understood correctly, this meant that none of the thirty emperors ascended the throne through normal means.
"Can you survive like this?" Zhang Fei felt that he couldn't understand.
"Or because..." Kong Ming accurately thought of what Light Screen had mentioned inadvertently before: "The Senate?"
The decree prohibiting men from wearing silk came from the Senate, not from the emperor or ministers. It seems that the official structure of Rome was very different from that of the Han Dynasty.
As for the Yellow Turban Rebellion and so on, everyone knows it very well. They are basically those who have experienced it. What can they say?
Civil servants such as Ma Liang and Kong Ming were able to talk about the disasters caused by the party's imprisonment, and they were able to talk about the chaos caused by Shi Changshi. Liu, Guan, and Zhang even fought personally in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Instead, Guan Yu noticed something else: "Smallpox, what kind of disease is it?"
"This peaceful kingdom has been destroyed! The destruction of the country is so close, how can the morale of the soldiers be reduced to this point? What kind of disease can reach it?!"
Just a few numbers sent chills down Guan Yu's spine.
As a general, he was never afraid of the enemy's sophisticated weapons, nor did he complain about the dangerous mountain fortress that his opponent relied on.
But how to deal with such a severe epidemic? How to prepare?
Guan Yu was a little confused for a while.
Kong Ming comforted him and said: "Don't worry, General Guan. Since the disease can spread so quickly, the disease must not be fatal immediately."
Guan Yu finally calmed down. For the first time since he saw the light curtain, he had the urge to drag the younger generation over:
Let’s talk about this terrible disease that can make an empire as powerful as the Han Dynasty fear it. What does it look like?
Zhao Yun also analyzed:
"If you get involved, you will die. Dig pits and burn the sick corpses. Dig wells to cut off the water source. Build a camp on the flat ground in the wilderness. After twenty days, the disease will disappear."
"There may be something weird about this smallpox."
"And..." Pang Tong was also a little worried: "Since silk and cloth from the Han Dynasty can be spread to the Qin Dynasty, then smallpox from the Qin Dynasty can naturally be spread to the Han Dynasty."
Everyone was shocked for a moment.
Pang Tong remembered something from a longer time: "I looked through the text records of the light curtain before, and it was also said that when General Guan was defeated, the king of Rome..."
Thinking of the long list of titles of the Roman emperor, everyone turned a little pale.
"The country is in such chaos, could it be that smallpox is still raging?"
Kong Ming shook his head and made a decision: "When today is over, I will ask Divine Doctor Zhang for advice. Divine Doctor Zhang is good at this, or he may have other opinions."
This matter will be suppressed for now.
[The topic turns back to the Prime Minister’s strategy for South China. 】
"Huh?" Zhang Fei didn't react for a moment, he just watched the map across the Han and Rome in the light screen shrink rapidly, and re-fixed it on the "small" land of Nanzhong.
[Facing the wealthy families and barbarians in Nanzhong, the prime minister could only use the ancient body poison to unite most of them.
But he did not give up on the oppressed barbarians, and even tried his best.
Let me move the clock hand to one thousand six hundred years from now.
At that time, China was experiencing internal and external troubles. In the south, Myanmar was colonized by the British. The British who occupied Myanmar were not satisfied and focused on two mines on the land of the Wa people.
There is a silver mine with extremely high reserves in Banhong. The British covet it very much. In order to seize this silver mine, the British tried to buy it but failed.
The British guy was furious and quickly made a decision: seize!
In 1934, the British colonists gathered 2,000 people to seize and forcibly mine the silver mines.
The silver mines are rich, and the British have made a good calculation. With a little profit from the silver mines, they should be able to bribe these ignorant natives, right?
King Ban Hong and King Ban Laowang responded: We are Chinese!
King Ban Hong was even more righteous: "We are the descendants of Kong Ming and subjects of the Celestial Dynasty. Our motherland is China. We do not want to be slaves to the subjugation of our country, just like Burma was subjugated to the British."]
"Good man!"
Zhang Fei slapped Zhao Yun on the thigh and praised:
"What a group of good guys! Military advisor, you are all good!!"
Kong Ming: "?"
Liu Bei contacted him for a while and roughly understood:
"At this time... China is having a hard time..."
"Not only is it difficult, it seems that the Japanese pirates will show their fangs in a few years!" Guan Yu said angrily.
The crowd was excited, but Kong Ming was the only one who sat there calmly and thoughtfully. He remembered a piece of writing he once jokingly wrote for the light curtain.
[Faced with the British occupying the mine land, King Banhong gathered 17 Wa chiefs to fight to the death against the British, swore an oath together, and issued the very famous "Seventeen Wa Wa King's Letter to the Compatriots in the Motherland".
What the Wa compatriots said in the declaration was very simple, but very touching. They claimed that they were not very good at speaking Chinese, but for fifty generations, they all obeyed the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty was good to the Wa people, then the Wa people could not betray the Han Dynasty!
The land and mines belong to the Han Dynasty, we cannot let down the wishes of our ancestors!
Faced with the compatriots who regarded death as home, the people at that time were filled with righteous indignation and donated generously to help fight against the British.
On May 30, the Wa armed with primitive weapons launched an attack on the British army, and after a fierce battle until June 6, they forced the British to retreat to Burma in despair.
The ancestor mentioned by the Wa compatriots here is Zhuge Liang.
They believe in their ancestors, and they also believe in an grandfather, Zhuge Liang.
In the legends of their generations, Zhuge Liang reached an agreement with their ancestors:
Zhuge Liang helped them live, and in return, they were willing to guard the southern gate of the Han Dynasty for the prime minister.
The covenant has been kept for 1,700 years, and the world has been changing, but in this small land, the Han Dynasty will never be destroyed, and the Han people still exist! 】
Zhang Fei was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He patted his thigh again, but it was empty.
So I had no choice but to rush to Kong Ming, lift Kong Ming up and spin him twice while shouting:
"Military advisor, I have always admired you, but today I realized that I, Lao Zhang, have underestimated you!"
As the world was spinning, Kong Ming remembered the sentence he wrote with a playful attitude at that time:
Glory belongs to the people.
I’m grateful for everyone’s support, but I’m also ashamed that I couldn’t update yesterday.
After finishing the work on Thursday night, the writer's assistant recorded that he wrote 8,000 words in one night, but in fact, after deleting, deleting, and editing, there were less than 3,000 words. Adding the previous ones, he managed to make up 6,000 words and posted it. Two thousand words and one four thousand words.
Then I slept for an hour in the storage room during the day and got up to go to work. At night I wanted to write four thousand, but then I found that my brain was completely frozen, so I entered four thousand again, and after deletion, it was only two thousand.
Anyway, I'm sorry to everyone. I owed two thousand yesterday and will make up for it later.
We will also work hard to increase rewards and monthly tickets.
Anyway, thank you all.
