Chapter 114 Han People Still Exist
The words of the light curtain also made everyone in the hall excited.
The world can only see the Han and the Qin!
Zhang Fei was even more itchy and said:
"This Anxi is really a dog! First, it lied to deceive the Han envoy, and then it took the initiative to attack the vassal."
"What Pang Junshi said is really right! This Anxi is afraid that the Han and the Qin will join forces!"
Kong Ming looked at Liu Bei's gloomy expression and understood: The Qin had the trouble of Anxi, and the Han was not the same.
Then he comforted:
"The light curtain has said that the Anxi national destiny will perish, and it seems that the Qin must have survived this disaster."
"And since the envoy during the reign of Emperor Weizong is true, then after the lord restores the Han Dynasty, he can send an envoy to visit the west."
Liu Bei could only cheer up and force a smile:
"The Qin has external enemies, and my Han has internal troubles, so we are in the same trouble."
[Because of the war between Rome and the Parthian War, the land route was cut off, so the delegation could only go by sea. 】
It was still the same picture on the screen. Everyone watched a dot appear on the side of Daqin, then it slithered and crawled on the sea, heading eastward.
【In addition, the Kushan Empire to the west of the Han Dynasty was in an alliance with the Parthian Empire at that time, so the Silk Road was completely blocked for the Roman mission.
In 165 AD, the Roman mission set out from the Red Sea, passed through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea to India, and rested here.
The following summer, the southwest monsoon in the Indian Ocean began, and the Roman envoys set sail again, crossed the Strait of Malacca, and went north along the Indochina Peninsula to reach Rinan County, which was also the route Qin Lun took later.
After entering the Han territory, it was also smooth sailing. He was received by Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi, in Luoyang and presented his gifts.
There was Rinan County in the Han Dynasty at that time, and wild animals were rampant in that era. Rhinoceros horns, ivory, tortoises, etc. were not rare things, so it was understandable that the literati at that time doubted the authenticity of this mission.
But from Western historical materials, although Marcus Aurelius was an emperor, he was more of a philosopher.
"A happy life does not need material things" is the famous saying left by this emperor. He values thought over material things and abandons enjoyment to perfect the soul.
So the Roman delegation had no choice: the emperor did not approve so much funding. 】
"Regard money as dirt!" Zhang Fei understood.
"He is a wise and honest monarch." Kong Ming admired him very much, especially when he connected it to Emperor Huan, he admired him even more:
"In the ninth year of Yan Xi, this was the beginning of the Party and Faction Persecution!"
Liu Bei's face was also stinky. He remembered Kong Ming's evaluation of the "Departmental Biao":
"I have never failed to sigh for Huan and Ling."
Especially when compared with the Qin Dynasty, it was even more: Although I don't know what philosophy is, it sounds like a good word!
And people are all emphasizing thought, and they still admire it a thousand years later. Emperor Huan, you have to stand up!
Mi Zhu didn't care about much. For him, this sea route seemed so charming!
"The saying of monsoon should be the same as the wind signal mentioned by the seafarer. It must be recorded."
The desire to travel this route became more and more urgent.
Ma Liang commented as he copied:
"The emperor's view is quite different from the prime minister's indifference to show his ambition."
Ma Liang said with some regret:
"If this delegation came now, they would definitely have a good chat with the military advisor!"
Pang Tong sneered: "Such a proposition is required of oneself, how can the delegation also be indifferent to show its ambition!"
[But as the previous barrage said, the charm of history lies in its unpredictability.
In 166, Rome invaded Parthia and burned down the capital of Parthia, Ctesiphon, but at this time Roman soldiers were infected with smallpox.
This highly contagious disease broke out in the Roman legion, and the Roman morale dropped by 1,000, so they had to retreat.
The widespread spread of smallpox caused panic in Rome. In the same year, the Germanic tribes in the north also began to frequently go south to plunder.
Fourteen years later, Aurelius, who had been fighting frequently, died of plague. The period of the Five Good Emperors of Rome ended and entered the period of the Thirty Tyrants.
Four years after Aurelius died of illness, a man in the far east shouted "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established", sounding the death knell for the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Three Kingdoms period officially began.
Almost at the same time, the two great empires in the East and the West in the world fell into internal and external troubles, and the only communication between the Han Dynasty and Rome came to an abrupt end. 】
Everyone sighed and didn't know what to say for a while.
It seems that Rome is so similar to the Han Dynasty, with the same civil strife, the same threat from the north, the same curiosity about the distant empire, and the same neighbors with ill intentions.
Even the end time of the great governance in the history of the country is almost the same, but...
"Thirty tyrants?" Zhang Fei clicked his tongue. If he understood correctly, this meant that the thirty emperors did not ascend the throne by normal means.
"How can it not perish like this?" Zhang Fei felt that he couldn't understand.
"Maybe because..." Kong Ming accurately thought of what the light curtain had mentioned before: "Senate?"
The decree prohibiting men from wearing silk came from the Senate, not from the emperor or ministers. It seems that the official system of Rome is very different from that of the Han Dynasty.
As for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, everyone knows it too well. They are basically witnesses. What can they say?
Civil officials such as Ma Liang and Kong Ming can talk about the Party Banishment Disaster and the Ten Eunuchs Rebellion. Liu, Guan and Zhang fought in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Guan Yu noticed another thing: "Smallpox, what kind of epidemic is it?"
"This Parthian Kingdom has been destroyed! The merit of destroying the country is just around the corner. What kind of epidemic can make the morale of the soldiers collapse to this extent?!"
The short number made Guan Yu's back a little cold.
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: "After today's work 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 powerful 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 descendants of Kong Ming and subjects of the Celestial Dynasty. Our motherland is China. We do not want to be slaves to the country's subjugation, 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: "?"
After contacting Liu Bei for a while, he 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.
[In the face of the British occupying the mining 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 did not speak Chinese very well, 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!"
While 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 deletions, deletions, and revisions, there were only 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 again. I wanted to write four thousand at night, 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 you two thousand yesterday, and I'll make it up later.
I will also try my best to update more for rewards and monthly tickets.
Anyway, thank you all.
