Constantinople!

Although Gu Duping had never been there, and even his knowledge of the city and the Roman Empire was through writing, it did not prevent him from considering the problem from the standpoint of the Roman Empire.

After all, his great king was the heir to the Roman Empire, or more precisely, the queen was the heir to the Roman Empire, and their rule was bound to be restored.

"Who are the Turks? They are the mixed descendants of the Western Turks, to put it bluntly, just a bunch of lost dogs who were driven out of the Celestial Empire during the Tang Dynasty, they fought all the way to the Middle East, and it took hundreds of years to conquer most of Anatolia from the Romans, and then what did they do? ”

Looking at Gu Duping, Zhu Hemo explained while asking rhetorically.

"They plundered the wives and daughters of the Romans as wives and concubines, and the more wives and concubines they possessed, so that they could give birth to more children and grandchildren, and they could further increase their own power, and after hundreds of years of conquest and plunder, their power became stronger and stronger, and finally, more than two hundred years ago, they completed the conquest of the Roman Empire, and when they conquered the Roman Empire, there were still millions of Romans there, but now? It's almost gone, why is this happening? Where did the Romans go? ”

Facing the king's question, Gu Duping's brows were tightly locked, and he replied hesitantly.

"It seems that there are still some Romans holding out in the area."

Thanks to the infiltration of Turkey by the Junzheng Division, Gu Duping knew that in addition to many Slavs who did not convert in Turkey, there were many Romans who did not convert their faith, of course, they were very few in number, more Greeks, Armenians, but in fact, they were still Romans, at least part of the Romans. For a long time, Armenian soldiers became the main force of the army of the Eastern Roman Empire. Some people have even relied on it to rise to prominence and become military emperors like Heraclius. However, their impression of Rome has long since faded, and they have always called themselves Armenians.

"But many people have already changed their faith, haven't they? And the number is constantly decreasing, where did the Romans go? ”

As the king of Egypt, Zhu Hemo is naturally very aware of the reality of Turkey, and after asking rhetorically, he said in a sighing tone.

In fact, this kind of thing is inevitable, and as conquerors, they have wealth and natural status, which helps them to gain the right to reproduce first! Of course, this was in peacetime, in fact, in the early days of the conquest, and the objects of the conquest, just because women were plundered in large numbers, population reproduction became a problem, just like the Romans, after the conquest of the Turks, hundreds of thousands of Roman women were plundered by the Turks, a large number of women were plundered, and the reproduction of the Romans became a problem, and the number naturally became smaller and smaller, even if it was not extinct now, it changed from the master of the year to an insignificant minority. There may be only a few hundred thousand real Romans left today, and what about the Turks with Roman blood? They conquered the land as outsiders, but became the majority of the people in that land. These so-called Turks are basically descendants of Turkish fathers and native mothers. They used this fusion to make the Romans disappear from history, as did the Romans, and so did the Slavs in the Balkans and elsewhere. ”

Gu Duping nodded, his tone becoming a little heavy.

"In fact, it is not only the Romans who disappeared, just like in the Western Regions, the local natives also tend to disappear, after the Qing captives entered the Western Regions, they killed all their men and plundered their women as wives and concubines, so that it took a generation to expand from a mere hundreds of thousands of people to millions of people.

When he said this, Gu Duping only felt a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and a chill surged into his heart, he thought of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and thought of the Manchu Qing occupation of China back then, they plundered the clothes in Beizhili, Shandong and other places, isn't it a disguised plundering of wives and concubines, if there is no His Majesty Zhongxing Daming, maybe dozens or hundreds of years later, will the Han people in the world also disappear into the world like the Romans?

Looking at the thoughtful Gu Duping, Zhu Hemo knew that he might be in shock, in fact, when he first learned about the so-called "progress" and the so-called "integration" from his father's mouth, he was also shocked, and even for a long time, he would be shocked by this truth. But it's a fact, an ironclad fact.

"Actually, the same is true of my Chinese ancestors."

Before Gu Duping came back to his senses, Zhu Hemo continued.

"What is "Fuyi Returns to Summer"? The so-called "indoctrination of the four yi" is just to find a reason and a noble excuse for "integration", first to change their beliefs, to seize their wealth, and then to destroy their writing, to destroy their history, and then to occupy their wives and daughters. In this way, the so-called Dongyi, Xirong, Nanban, and Beidi will disappear in history, no, they are integrated into this big family! ”

Integrate into the family!

What a noble word, but what a sarcasm it sounded at this time.

"Then the natives of Nanyang ......"

When the words came to his lips, Gu Duping suddenly stopped.

Not only the natives of Nanyang, but also the Quang Nam people, Burmese people, Koreans, and even the Mongols and Jurchens, what will happen to them in the future?

The answer is obvious.

They will also be integrated into the family and become part of the family.

Facing Gu Duping's question, Zhu Hemo smiled slightly.

"In Turkey, in many parts of the Balkans over the past two hundred years, new Turks have appeared, and in the future, when the Roman Empire is liberated, the scimitars of the Turks will be replaced by the short swords of the Roman Empire, and at that time, what awaits those people? It's a new round of integration...... No, it should be said that it is progress, the progress of civilization! ”

Zhu Hemo did not answer his question, but mentioned Rome again.

"In the process of reconquest, the Roman Empire will also face the same problems as Egypt, the conquered bloodline in a weak position will be replaced by the blood of the conqueror, and whether this bloodline is Greek, Armenian, or Chinese, depends on how the Roman Empire will operate in the future, at least in Egypt, I am using all means to ensure that this bloodline changes, in the direction of development in the direction of China, what will be the Egyptians in the future? Copt? Of course not, and how many pure Copts there are now, but one thing is for sure, as the Xia bloodline expands, many things here are bound to change. After all, at least in the next one or two hundred years, Wang Wei and their descendants are in an advantageous position in terms of property and status, compared to ordinary Copts, maybe the Copts recaptured their country, but it is certain that except for a few powerful people who have gained power, most Copts can only struggle at the bottom, and their future fate can be imagined. However, Wang Wei and their descendants are different, they may not be Mamluk nobles, but in reality, what is the difference? Status and economic disadvantages will directly affect the reproduction of their race! ”

Zhu Hemo's smile was still bright, but his words were cold and ruthless. Even, no one doubted what kind of uproar would be caused by how these words were spread, but Zhu Hemo was not worried about this, because the guards in the palace were all Chinese.

“…… A hundred years, two hundred years, oh, maybe three hundred years, Egypt will be integrated into China in a very special way, just like Dongyi, Xirong, Nanban, Beidi, you see......"

Pointing to Wang Wei standing a few feet away from the window, Zhu Hemo sighed.

"You see, these Wang Wei are the real good sons of my Huaxia, if it weren't for them to conquer the women of the foreign race, how could my Huaxia be educating the Siyi again?"

Belch...... Why does this "Enlightenment Four Yi" sound so awkward now?

As a scholar, Gu Duping's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, what he was thinking about was not the other meaning of those four words, but thinking of the color maid he accepted, and in the past, the color maid was just because he was young and beautiful. But now he suddenly realized that in addition to this, there was another extremely important mission, which was to educate the four yi, to restore the Yi to Xia, and to ......

Hey, suddenly, Gu Duping's heart felt a sense of exhaustion, he realized that he didn't have personal time at all, he worked hard for the king during the day, and he also had to continue to engage in the great cause of education at night.

Ah!

From this point of view, we should also accept a few more beautiful concubines, and the lord should not take concubines for personal selfish desires, but to ensure the spread of civilization and promote "education".

That's really ...... It's hard work!

Looking at those young Wang Wei who were in the prime of life, Gu Duping couldn't help but admire them in his heart, they worked so hard day and night so openly and selflessly, it was really rare, very hard, and really admirable.

Of course, of course Zhu Hemo didn't know what messy things Gu Duping's mind was thinking, but even if he knew, he would feel very reasonable.

Compared with Gu Duping's instantaneous thoughts, Zhu Hemo sighed more about history there.

"I think that my Huaxia has been sunk by a foreign race twice, although I have experienced calamities and hundreds of millions of people have died, but in the end, I can still save the race, I can only say that God blesses, perhaps, this is also the proof of the destiny of heaven in my Huaxia!"

Hearing this, thinking that the Romans in the Roman Empire had tended to disappear, Gu Duping nodded a little heavily.

"Isn't that the case, maybe this is the fate of the people who fell from heaven!"

Gu Duping didn't believe such a statement, that is, he just said it casually, and then he looked at the king who seemed to sigh and asked.

"Your Majesty, is there no room for reciprocation here?"

The reason why Gu Duping came to Cairo was not to seek support, but to reach an alliance with Egypt, but now it seems that the resistance on the Egyptian side is too great.

"Those people just want to sweep the snow in front of their doors......"

With such a sigh, Zhu Hemo said a little dullly.

"This king intends to sign the covenant, and this king also knows that this opportunity is rare, but they are so hostile, what can this king do to them?"

Perhaps, for the Copts, for the whole of Egypt, Zhu Hemo has a complete plan, this plan will be implemented in the next generation, two generations, three generations, or even more than ten generations, but it will not help the current situation.

"The minister knows that the king is embarrassed, but without the help of Egypt, I am afraid that the king will not be able to return to Rome in the short term."

Gu Duping's tone was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Brother Jiu has waited all these years, and he can endure it for a few more years."

Zhu Hemo smiled, then he glanced out the window and continued.

"After the Suez Canal is completed, I think that my father will definitely send troops to help him, and now, the reason why this matter has been delayed until now, in the final analysis, I am afraid that it is because of the canal, if you want to use troops in Turkey, you will inevitably need to send the army and navy, but if you go on an expedition from the Cape of Good Hope, it will inevitably bring a series of problems, and wait, I think, in a few years, when the canal is repaired, the time will be almost ripe...... At that time, my side will almost be able to stabilize, and I should be able to spare some strength to help Brother Jiu. ”

Because they are all their own brothers, Zhu Hemo can understand the helplessness of the ninth brother Zhu Heyan, among all the adult princes, only he has not taken the country, and even his country is still on paper - maybe nominally he has the inheritance of the "Roman Empire", but except for the imperial crown and the inheritance of the empire that the princess married, everything else is illusory, and now even their children have made a pen salute, but the "empire" does not even have a shadow.

But what's the point of being anxious?

"Your Majesty, the king naturally knows that if the canal is not built, the Celestial Empire will definitely not go on an expedition, but in the king's opinion, blindly waiting will not help the future, if he wants to regain the Roman crown, he can't just wait for the help of the Celestial Empire, so ......"

Gu Duping's answer made Zhu Hemo fall into silence, standing in the position of Brother Jiu, he could understand Brother Jiu's thoughts, but from the position of the monarch, the help that Egypt can give to Brother Jiu now is extremely limited, even if the covenant is signed. What's the point?

Without the army sent by the Celestial Empire, how could he regain the crown that belonged to him just by virtue of the Ninth Brother?

Facing the silent king, Gu Duping pursed his lips and then said.

"Your Majesty, the king needs your support, and he needs the support of all the kings, after all, the king is the only king in Zhuxia whose land is occupied by outsiders."
