Chapter 859: Throw yourself into the arms of civilization

The vast majority of aristocratic women in Rome have black hair and black eyes, and their skin is actually more inclined to yellow skin, that is, the contours of their facial features will be more obvious than those of the Han people, and the bridge of their noses is generally higher.

According to the records and distinctions of the world's ethnic history, the orthodox Romans belong to the Latimites, and many documents clearly record that the Latimites are a group of yellow-skinned people with black hair and black eyes.

For a long time, the Romans were treated as barbarians by the Romans without exception, and it was a basic rule to refuse to be part of them, and to refuse to mate with them (both men and women).

For the first time in Roman history, non-black hair and black eyes were accepted as citizens and was taken place at Gaius. Julius. During the reign of Caesar.

Originally Gaius. Julius. Caesar had curried favor with the civic class because of his constant foreign conquests, and the citizens supported Gaius. Julius. Caesar was equal to the unity of the armed class in Gaius. Julius. Caesar was around, and the rest were on Gaius. Julius. Caesar's aristocrats, who had opinions, could not get the support of the armed class, so they could only endure it.

The fact of the matter was that no matter who was against Gaius at the time. Julius. Caesar had opinions and could not get the support of the citizens to swallow their anger, and even thought that Gaius at one time. Julius. Caesar was a great lord. The problem is with Gaius. Julius. Caesar thought that animals of all hair colors and pupil colors were also human, and that was really unbearable.

Although they were hundreds of thousands of miles apart, the two peoples with the same black hair and black eyes, they showed a striking resemblance in distinguishing other races, and agreed that the rest of the peoples who looked different from themselves did not belong to the scope of man, except that the Romans were defined as livestock, and the Zhuxia were defined as animals.

Gaius, as the first generation of "human liberators". Julius. Caesar, under his strong push, and mastered the force class, successfully "evolved" some species that were not black hair and black eyes, and could be regarded as being promoted to human beings and no longer treated as livestock.

Unable to accept 1 man, 1 beast, 1 hybrid, 1 ...... Well, the Roman aristocracy, who could not bear the division of privileges and the loss of interests, found an opportunity to stab the long-prepared dagger of Gaius, who would destroy the internal unity and interfere with the evolution of the species. Julius. Caesar was stabbed into a broken sack.

Liberator pioneer Gaius. Julius. Caesar was assassinated, but the shackles he opened could no longer be closed, and in the years that followed, no matter how conservative the concept was, they could not prevent a man of all colors of hair and eyes from becoming a Roman, and could only sigh sadly, "The etiquette is broken".

Distance from Gaius. Julius. It has been 496 years since Caesar nailed the coffin board, and there is still a "barbarian distinction" in Rome today, but it is more out of living habits, and the rejection of human race has long been not the mainstream.

Quite a lot of Roman women, they even think that blonde hair is better than black hair, dyed blonde hair has become a fashion, if you do this hundreds of years earlier, it is easy to be killed by the family, and even can not be buried in the family tomb, but directly buried in the garden.

"The golden silk cat or something, it's also excellent......" Fu Wei said and 'sucked' a little, how to look at it, how obscene: "More than 4,000 account for about one-third, absolutely enough!" ”

is full of malicious titles, coupled with an obscene expression no matter how you look at it, Fu Wei is obviously an old driver.

There is no shortage of women of different races in the Han Kingdom, and women with blond hair and blue eyes are still in the minority, and the most are those from the three countries of the peninsula who are not much different from the Han people.

At present, in the Han Kingdom, there are non-black-haired and black-eyed women of different races, and the vast majority of them are white-skinned women, after all, the Han people have exterminated the Qian, but it is a complete waste to say that they are all killed, leaving women of the right age as reproductive tools.

There are also high-caste women from Ah San's side, it just so happens that the high castes are all foreign races, the higher the caste rank, the whiter the skin, and the blonde hair is relatively rare, most of them are maroon, but under the influence of the fashion of the Romans, Ah San's high-caste women also like to dye their hair blonde.

There are inevitably goods from the Western Regions, but it is difficult to see a variety of blonde hair in the Western Regions, and there are more chestnut hairs that are the same as Ah San's.

What Fu Wei said about "enough points" is that the Han people opened a new "recipe" a thousand or hundreds of years in advance, and the higher the title, the more priority they have, and Liu Yan has always deliberately stuffed a few foreign women into the high title.

Liu Yan has only one reason for doing this, the Han people who are accustomed to the custom of three wives and four concubines, will continue to increase their beds when they have status or wealth, although the Han Kingdom has relevant restrictions of the law, but once the title meets the requirements, it can still be justified in taking concubines, the number of Han women is extremely short, but it is difficult for ordinary people to marry a Han woman in the end.

The current aesthetics of the Han people are still quite traditional, and people who look different from themselves do not see any beauty, that is to say, they don't think they are beautiful or anything, but just out of simple curiosity, and more so, it seems, seems, and maybe...... There is a lot of collectible value!

Bingxian said that "the more the merrier", in today's Han Kingdom, the more women from different races, the better, the aesthetic aspect is not necessarily the appetite, but it is related to the great problem of inheritance, under the premise of the shortage of women in this clan, they are not qualified to care about looking beautiful or ugly.

Wang Meng's envoy did nothing else, purchasing grain was the right business, and he wantonly bought slaves...... In particular, female slaves are also in the right business, but a considerable number of slaves have been purchased, and many have been sent back to their homeland.

As the Roman authorities gave the green light later, the envoys made repeated stops on their way back, and everywhere they went, they spent money on purchases, still buying mainly food and slaves.

Grain did not need to be transported, but some goods were needed, and then there were too many female slaves, and there were 20,000 Roman envoys, which led to the fact that some of the Han people themselves needed to travel overland from Asia Minor to the Persian Gulf in order to make room.

The fleet was fully loaded, and it went out of the Strait of Gibraltar into the Atlantic, and along the course it had been south, and it was a smooth sailing along the way.

"Even if they know the route, it won't mean much." Fu Wei put away his obscene expression and said with malice: "They don't have the means to discern the direction at sea, and at the same time, they don't know how to sail in the ocean at all. ”

Nowadays, there are too few people who have mastered the means of discerning direction, and generally only rely on observing the sunrise and sunset and stars to discern the direction, and the method is so primitive that they will be blind when the weather conditions do not allow it. Another fatal weakness of this method of discernment is that it is impossible to determine one's own location at all.

I can tell the direction, but I can't confirm my position, even if I am heading in the right direction, the minimap is off by one degree, but it is definitely not a deviation from the actual walk, and I may want to go to Asia but I floated to the North American continent.

Historically, Europa had always wanted to use the sea route to reach Zhuxia, but later changed its target to India, but found the North American continent, in fact, because it could not determine its own location because it could distinguish the direction.

Even if there is a way to distinguish the direction and direction, it does not mean that you can really sail the ocean freely, the fragility of the human body is beyond imagination, it is not only the body that will lose its life if it is fatally injured from the outside, it is impossible to absorb enough nutrients, and even if you can't get the vitamin supplement you should have for a long time, it will also cause a physical collapse.

The body is only one of the things that plague the ocean, and the other is the mental conditioning of people, many seafarers can only move in a small space for a long time, and all they can see is the sea and the sky, and those who are less able to bear it will collapse from the mental aspect.

The size of the Roman legation was beyond imagination, with nearly 4,000 Roman noble women, most of whom were unmarried, and some were noblewomen who followed their husbands.

There are too many people...... Even if the number of people is small, the Han people will not specifically give up the ships for resettlement, and the way of arrangement is that each ship is placed some, most of them are arranged on the transport ships, and a few noble ones are placed on the war ships.

Julian, Helena, Helena, and Flavis from Rome and Yena, Nikar, Xeias, and Cambyses from Persia were placed on Wang Meng's ship, and they were invited to the deck to drink and chat with Wang Meng under the parasol.

"Life in the ocean is far more boring than you imagined." Flavies said as he took a sip of the wine made from the fruit he didn't know what it was made from, and squinted at the sea reflecting the sun: "The waves in the outer ocean are also higher and bigger than I thought. ”

The current position of the fleet is supposed to be northeast of Cape Verde, that is, eight days after leaving the Strait of Gibraltar, it will enter the western African continent closest to the South American continent.

Cape Verde is, of course, a modern name, marked on the map of the Han Chinese as "Ding. One One Qi". If it is marked with a number, it means that after Fu Wei's fleet left the Three Oceans, it sailed all the way and found 117 islands.

The Romans don't want to see the map, if they can see the map, they will definitely feel cold, because on the map, there are many strange signs along the coast of Africa, and those who have established strongholds and bases have explored clearly and are exploring, and found a large number of natives waiting to be captured...... Wait a minute.

Rome has a large African territory, which is basically in the Mediterranean. Naturally, they also controlled a considerable amount of territory in West Africa, and they had been firmly in control since the destruction of Carthage.

Julian has been making comparisons, and according to the distance and distance, it can be deduced that the current position is in the south of the province of Mauritania (the northern coastal region of Morocco and Algeria), and the land distance should be more than 3,000 Roman miles?

Wang Meng invited them out to chat, it was just small talk, and if there was any purpose, it was to get in touch with Helena more.

Before they returned, Constantius II had officially proposed the marriage, but he did not specify who would be the marriage on the Roman side, but indicated that if the emperor of the Han Kingdom wanted to, all the Roman nobles who accompanied him could be accepted into the harem.

Liu Yan naturally won't do all the ridiculous things that are included in the harem, at most he will accept them all, but there will definitely be a genuine marriage candidate, Helena has been excluded by Wang Meng, and only Helena is on the list of genuine marriage candidates with identity and bloodline as the boundary.

Yena was the daughter of Shapur II, and Nikar was the granddaughter of Shapur II, and the strange thing is that the age difference between the two was only one year, and they stayed on the ship during their time in Constantinople.

Ksheias was a member of the Persian Sassanid royal family, himself a high-ranking general in the Persian Sassanid army, and he was the chief envoy of the Persian Sassanid Legation.

Cambyses was the representative of Zoroastrianism, and was in charge of going to Han to negotiate religious exchanges.

The Romans and the Persians were on the same boat, but they were very peaceful, and they were polite to everyone they met, and they could communicate happily, not at all like enemies of life and death.

"Heading to land?" Helena, who was still half-lying down just now, looked like a charming person, and suddenly turned over and stood up: "Why is there a port in this place, and there are so many ships, and there are towns on land!?" ”

According to the modern name, the place near the fleet is called Freetown, which belongs to a small West African country called Sierra Leone.

Now this place is naturally impossible to call Freetown, on the map of the Han Kingdom is named "Jia. "Sanlu II" is a base built by the military on a certain coastline.

According to the scale, it is not wrong for Helena to call the place she sees a town, there is a town that looks prosperous, but the buildings are all characteristic of Zhuxia.

"Is this ......" Julian asked in shock as he got closer and saw more clearly, "This is a port for transporting slaves?" ”

What do they see? A large number of ships, busy docks, strings of black corn that were tied up and driven aboard.

Wang Meng had already learned the situation from Fu Wei, the fleet could not enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal, and it was absolutely impossible to do nothing from the coastal detour of the African continent.

It is impossible for the Han Kingdom to send a large army to the African continent to open up the territory, knowing that there are so many dark-skinned people on this continent, especially those who still live in a primitive society, and the complete conquest is not yet free, but it is necessary to catch it and transport it back as a coolie.

"There's a lot of people here." Wang Meng said without any shame: "They live in the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, and it is necessary for the Han to lead them to civilization." ”

Not...... Yes, it is to bring them into civilization, and the current Han people have such a concept, and the white skin system in history is also said to be this way.
