Of course, Fa Zheng wanted to comfort the envoy, "These arms transactions are only verbal and paper agreements, and the goods of these transactions are still far away in Dahan, and it is impossible to trade before I return to China, I just collected some deposits." ”

"As long as you and I can finally sign the alliance treaty, we will definitely give priority to the Imperial Legion of the Sabbatarian Empire, although we do not understand this model of separation between the local and the central in your country, but we will maintain the due respect for His Majesty the Emperor."

"Not only will the supply of weapons to the royal army be prioritized, but the quality will be guaranteed, and what I sold before was only finished products, and the design drawings of muskets and the formula of gunpowder?" Speaking of this, Fa Zheng looked at the envoy with a smile, "It depends on the sincerity that His Majesty the Emperor of your country can show, as long as the conditions are right, these can be traded!" ”

The envoy was also an important minister of the Anxi Empire, and he still had this bit of knowledge, and when he heard that Fa Zheng could not only sell ready-made firearms, but also sell shooting drawings and formulas, his eyes widened suddenly.

He still understands this truth, buy weapons made by others, where can you have such freedom to produce your own, and you don't have to be controlled by others.

Although he was sure that the Fa Zheng would not sell him the latest technology, it was enough, he had not heard of the same firearms in the Roman Empire, only the Kushan Empire had been defeated by the Han once and learned some firearms manufacturing techniques.

Even this little bit of firearm manufacturing has made the Kushan Empire's self-confidence swell again, and the Sabbath Empire has completely changed its face when it begins to show off its might.

The envoy immediately patted his chest and assured Fa Zheng that he would definitely persuade his Emperor Majesty to reach this alliance, but Fa Zheng just smiled and said nothing.

Whether it was his previous understanding of the Sabbath Empire, or what he saw and heard when he entered the territory of the Sabbath Empire this time, it was an eye-opener for Fa Zheng.

Through the various infiltrations of the Ministry of Intelligence into the Rest Empire, he already knew the situation in the Rest Empire very well, and he really couldn't believe that such a loose form of government had existed for hundreds of years, and had built a large empire with a territory of thousands of miles and millions of people.

During his many years in the Western Regions, Fa Zheng learned several common languages in Central Asia, especially he mastered Greek, which was one of the common official languages in the Anxian Empire, and the upper nobles and royalty of the Anxi Empire were all Greek.

Therefore, he can communicate directly with the envoys of the Rest Empire, without the need for a translator, and can clearly express his meaning.

After a three-month long journey, the Han Empire mission led by Fa Zheng finally arrived at Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sabbath Empire, located on the banks of the Tigris River.

Ctesiphon was the political and cultural center of the Rest Empire at the time, and it was an ancient city, but it was less than a hundred years old as the capital, so it still seemed to be a new big city.

At a glance, what Fa Zheng will never forget is the tall vault of the Tai Xifeng Palace, which is as high as 100 feet above the ground, which is simply incredible.

Around the entire city are tall city walls, which are not inferior to the walls of Chang'an.

His Majesty Vologis VI, the Emperor of the Sabbath Empire, has received the message and personally went out of the city to greet the envoys of the huge Han Empire from the far east with a very high standard, which is also the first time that an envoy from the east has visited the city of Cessiphorn.

Although there have been two envoys from the Han Dynasty in history, Zhang Qian was already hundreds of years ago, and Gan Ying was only an envoy sent by the Western Regions Protector Banchao, and the specifications were not enough.

Fa Zheng is completely different, not to mention that he is Lu Bu's plenipotentiary envoy, just his status as the protector of the Western Regions, as well as his invincible past achievements in Central Asia and the Western Regions over the years, are enough to make people look out.

That's why Vologis VI received Fa Zheng with a high standard of receiving foreign heads of state, he invited Fa Zheng to his splendid carriage, and invited Fa Zheng to review the most powerful royal guard of the Rest Empire, the armored cavalry.

The mighty and majestic armored cavalry can be said to be super heavy cavalry, and they seem to be moving fortresses, and I don't know if they have actual combat value in addition to their excellent appearance.

Fa Zheng also asked Vologis VI to review his guard regiment, the phalanx that the Han army was most proud of, the shining bayonets, the horizontal and vertical neat formation, and the chic walking, all made Vologis VI eye-opening, I didn't expect the army's queue to be so good-looking.

Subsequently, Fa Zheng performed another shooting performance, still a 200-zhang humanoid target shooting, but this time, Fa Zheng selected ten snipers to perform.

At a distance of 200 zhang, you can still shoot headshots with guns and guns, and even increase the number of moving target shots, and there are still no bullets.

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the wilderness outside Ctesiphon, and Vologis VI was glad for his wise decision.

He had received a secret report from the envoy and knew that Fazheng had reached arms deals of various sizes with many local forces, and that Fazheng had prepared design drawings for firearms, production technology and original formulas of gunpowder to trade with him.

Therefore, he is also determined to achieve the alliance between the Rest Empire and the Han Empire, at any cost.

Any price is not worth mentioning in the face of the life and death of the empire, and he is already mentally prepared to smash the pot and sell iron to get the firearms technology of the Orientals.

After seeing the shooting performance of the Han army, he strengthened this position.

He warmly set up a grand banquet in his palace to welcome the arrival of Fa Zheng and the Han Empire mission, and all the dignitaries and relatives of the Rest Empire attended the banquet in full costume.

He specifically asked all the young ladies of the upper aristocratic families of the Rest Empire and the beauties of the royal clan, whether married or unmarried, to come to the banquet dressed up in fancy clothes.

No matter which woman Fa Zheng has a crush on at the banquet, she must sacrifice her hue for the country without hesitation, and be sure to make Fa Zheng satisfied, which is called at home in Chinese.

Of course, he thought that the Han people, like their resting people, liked beauty, and especially liked this kind of noble status and unusual beauty.

Of course, Fa Zheng knows his intentions, but it's a pity that Fa Zheng is clean and doesn't like beauty, but he is a man who hasn't even married a concubine except for his wife, how can he take a fancy to these tall and vulgar fans?

Of course, these are just episodes, and Fa Zheng is just acting on the spot and dealing with it freely, what he wants is the feeling of joy for the guests and hosts.

Because the pressure on the Romans to put on the Rest Empire was so great and imminent, the two sides entered into formal talks the next day.

Fa Zheng and a number of officials of the mission held formal negotiations with the most confidant civil and military ministers led by Vologis VI in the royal palace on the outskirts of Ctesiphon.
