Chapter 1412: Overlord

At the foot of Mount Tai, the vassal states and friendly countries in all directions gathered, and the vassal countries were basically the king's personal visit, and the Xi, Qi, Tiele and other countries were all visited by the king in person, even if the three kingdoms such as the Yaksha and the Wandering Ghost Kingdom were far away, their kings also came. There are also many tribal chieftains from the distant Eastern Wilderness Continent, who also came.

Persia, Rome, the Franks, Arabia, and the Japanese also sent envoys.

Although these great powers also dominate one side, Great Qin's trade is very important to them, and they all want to get along with Great Qin.

Persia, in particular, was in a state of flux with Rome while facing a wave of Arab uprisings on the Arabian Peninsula. Knowing that now that Great Qin is constantly advancing westward, its newly established Beiting and Tocharian Dao have approached Persia properness on both sides, but they still dare not offend Great Qin, on the contrary, this time they also sent a huge delegation of envoys led by the prince, the purpose is to form an alliance with Great Qin, in order to strengthen trade and military cooperation, so that they can have the ability to fight on two fronts, and deal with the Arabs and the Romans at the same time.

The biggest idea of Persia was to persuade Daqin not to directly open up the northern line of silk and trade directly with Rome, but to transit through Persia.

As long as you can grasp the goods of Daqin, you can jam the neck of the Romans.

And even jamming the necks of the increasingly powerful Arabs.

Each of the envoys who arrived had their own demands, and the Wandering Ghosts and Yaksha Kings wanted to get more rewards from Daqin, and they also wanted to exchange the few boatloads of precious furs and medicinal materials they had brought for more exquisite Daqin goods. And the tribal chiefs of the Eastern Wilderness and the Northern Barbarians were actually fooled by the merchants to come to the Central Plains to open their eyes and offer some local products in exchange for some Qin goods.

Those merchants are very shrewd, they fooled these people to come to the court to contribute, ask for canonization rewards, in this way, the barbarians in the border wilderness are also naturalized, they naturally have the merit of opening up the territory for the imperial court, anyway, the ice and snow of the Eastern Wilderness and the Northern Barbarians, in the past was the Central Plains Dynasty has never set foot in the place, and now these barbarian kings have come thousands of miles to pay tribute, this is naturally a grand event, and they are naturally a great achievement.

The queen of the Japanese kingdom came and wanted to ask for peace. When the king of Silla came, he asked the Son of Heaven to canonize his nephew Kim Chung Chung as the son of the king of Silla.

King Bolu came and asked Daqin to send troops to help quell another rebellion in the country.

King Zhangzhung came in person, hoping that the emperor would let Zhangzhung keep the land that he had previously sent troops to Tibet.

Tubo Zampu came to hope that the emperor would uphold justice, return to him the land of Tubo seized by Zhangxiong, and send troops to help Tubo quell the rebellion of the nobles.

The king of Gundam in Tianzhu set up a reward to come, just like today, the king of the northern part of Zhu has been ambitious to conquer a large area, and the countries that split after the fall of the Gupta Dynasty were originally formed after years of melee, but now the country of the Ring of Japan is a dominant family and has annexed the other two countries, leaving only the Gundam country still holding on to the east.

King Gundam hoped that Great Qin would support them, and he wanted to strengthen trade with Great Qin, especially to buy more armor weapons and warships from Great Qin.

In the Deccan Plateau in the south of Tianzhu, the king of Chalouqi Buluo Jisha II, and the king of Gamo in the northeast of Tianzhu both felt the tension in the region, so they also rushed to Daqin, hoping to increase trade with Daqin, and purchased sophisticated weapons and equipment and advanced warships from Daqin to deal with the increasingly tense situation.

"Sage, I'm the overlord of the Great Qin World!"

Today's Great Qin Zaifu has also broadened their horizons, knowing that outside the Central Plains, in addition to the traditional barbarians, there are more barbarians who have not been contacted and understood in the past, and even many of them are also very powerful, such as Persia, Rome, Franks, Jieri, Funan, etc.

"It is a good thing that the nations ask of us."

The emperor planned to send envoys to all countries in the future, and even to send envoys to be stationed there, and to establish permanent ambassadors in embassies to strengthen liaison.

"Distant friendship and close attack, this is the wise saying that our ancestors told us."

Wei Zheng said, "The meaning of the sage, could it be that we want to go to war with Persia and befriend Rome?" ”

Luo Cheng shook his head.

Persia is now indeed in contact with Great Qin, whose Tocharian Road is the area of later Afghanistan, and Mulu in Beiting is in Turkmenistan near the Iranian border.

"Although I say that I have already connected with Persia, the east and north of Persia are the borders of the Great Qin, but in fact, the Eighteen Kingdoms of Tocharia and the Nine Kingdoms of Beiting, now the imperial court does not really control it, but by controlling the Silk Road, it has set up Fengbao Post Stations along the Silk Road, established some military cities, and stationed some soldiers."

The Sassanid Empire of Persia was still very powerful, and it was able to fight with the Eastern Romans for hundreds of years, and the Sassanid and Eastern Rome coexisted for more than 400 years, and also fought for hundreds of years.

The heavy cavalry of the Sassanid Empire was once invincible in Central Asia, and Afghanistan was conquered by it.

It was only later that the new emperor of Rome, Heraclius, with the support of the Khazars and the Western Turks, counterattacked Persia. The rise of the Arabs and the rebellion put the Persians in a difficult situation both internally and externally.

The Persian Emperor Kuslao II is now in a hurry.

On the one hand, Emperor Heraclius gathered all his forces to counterattack, and in Asia Minor and the Caucasus, he launched counterattack wars one after another, and the Persians were defeated one after another.

Seeing that the Eastern Rome had brought in the Khazars and the Western Turks, he also united the Slavs and the Alvars and besieged Constantinople, while he himself levied heavy taxes on his subjects and raised a large army to cross the strait to join the Slavs and the Alvas.

An unprecedented war is slowly kicking off.

"The Persians are gambling that they will defeat Rome again in this battle, and then turn back and fight the Arabs." The Emperor said.

"Then does Your Majesty think the Persians can win?"

"The Sassanid Empire of Persia, which has been more than 400 years old, has long been terminally ill, with frequent wars and extremely heavy taxes, and the 20 million people of Persia have long been unbearable, so these years have been frequent civil strife. The father of Kuslao II was overthrown by a palace coup d'Γ©tat by the Persian generals. After Couslao II succeeded to the throne, he was defeated by the rebels, and finally had to flee to Rome, and finally at the cost of ceding the western Caucasus and marrying the daughter of the Roman emperor, he borrowed troops from Rome to form a Persian-Roman alliance, and defeated the usurper who claimed the throne. After the war, Cuslao II finally put down the rebellion and returned to the throne, he also ceded the western Caucasus, and ceded the western part of Armenia to Rome, after which, Persia and Rome maintained peace for nearly thirty years, and the two countries each used troops in other directions, Persia to the east and Rome to the west. ”

It was only later that Cusslau's father-in-law, the Roman Emperor Morris, was also killed by his men, and Rome was in civil strife, at which time Cusslao re-attacked Rome in the name of avenging his father-in-law, and captured Syria and Antioch successively, and then captured Jerusalem and Alexandria, and then the whole of Egypt fell into the hands of Persia.

It can be said that Eastern Rome is facing a crisis of national collapse.

It was only later that the Roman general Heraclius ended the civil strife and ascended the throne as emperor, and he quickly gathered forces to counterattack Persia.

Under the apparent strength of the Persian Sassanids, in fact, they are poor soldiers and soldiers, and the people are not able to make a living.

"I heard that the nobles and common people in Persia are now dissatisfied with the emperor, and even the emperor's crown prince is dissatisfied with him, and Persia is at the end of its rope."

Wei Zheng was thoughtful.

"Great Qin should support Persia."

"Well, it is true that we should support Persia, but not the Persian Emperor Kuslao II, but his son, Prince Kakula." Luo Cheng smiled slightly.
