The inadvertent display of strength is the real strength.

Arslan 'knew' that the Chinese Lu Qi Empire did not know the news of his secret coming, and he thought that everything he saw was just China's 'daily life', so he felt desperate for China's strength.

He didn't know that Jinling, who had long known his whereabouts, although he didn't deliberately show his muscles, they had hardly seen the serious Lu Qijun along the way, except for the city gates of some important towns, they had never seen Lu Qijun again. However, the township soldiers in various places were seen by them from time to time, if it were not for the provincial garrison departments to issue orders or drill orders, how could Arslan be so "lucky"?

By the time they got on the ship from Kaifeng, traveled all the way to Liangshanbo, and then turned south along the Grand Canal, all the people in the caravan were in despair.

Arslan's servants and attendants were all wrapped in an aura of despair.

In today's era, whether it is prosperous in industry and agriculture or densely populated, China is unique on the whole earth.

No matter how much you look down on the Zhao and Song dynasties, it is impossible to deny that China during the Zhao and Song dynasties created the pinnacle of wealth in classical society, and the European aristocracy at that time did not necessarily have a better life than the soldiers guarding the gate under the Kaifeng city.

Compared with the dark medieval Europe and the contemporaneous celestial world, the wealth and civilization of China during the Zhao and Song dynasties, especially the Northern Song Dynasty, were as unimaginable as the power of Lu Qi today.

It's just that the lack of force makes Zhao Song's brilliance look much dimmer.

The nascent Lu Qi Dynasty was established on such a basis, and Lu Qian not only made up for the shortcomings in force, but also further made the industrial and commercial trade of the Central Plains more prosperous. How could such a country not dazzle Arslan, the native buns from Flower Thorn Zim, who were shocked by the richness and strength of China while feeling despair and sorrow for the ultimate fate of Flower Thorn Zim.

Since Kaifeng, their group has taken the waterway, just like the leaders of the Western Regions led by Guo Yaoshi, the route has been booked in advance.

It was not because of the speed and convenience of the waterways, but to show the strength of the Luqi Dynasty to the indigenous chieftains of Arslan and the Western Regions.

Cities lined up, rich and prosperous markets along the way, and dense populations flowing endlessly, will completely crush the fighting spirit in their hearts like mountains.

Just like in World War II, the Neon Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto Isoroku. After learning of the success of the fleet's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, instead of rejoicing, he was worried.

Because, Yamamoto Isoroku, who was the naval attache of the neon embassy in the lighthouse country, knew enough about the industrial strength of the lighthouse country, and he had seen the huge factories and shipyards in the lighthouse country, as well as the endless amount of oil

He knew what kind of monster he was provoking.

In front of Jinling, these two groups of people are arranged in this way, that is, with the same purpose.

Because Lu Qi is not Zhao Song, he is not always weaker to the north in terms of force, and every time an envoy from the Liao State comes to arrange a special road to pass by, so as not to be spied on military secrets.

That act is not a matter of course.

Lu Qi, who swept through East Asia, has long proved his combat effectiveness with facts, and they are not the rich but not strong Zhao Song, but a strong and rich new empire.

Seeing Lu Qi's abundance, they couldn't have the slightest idea of coming to rob them, but only endless fear. Because the rich Lu Qi must have an astronomical amount of wealth to use as military expenses, so that their invincible army can conquer the Quartet at will and beat everything.

For now, it seems that this purpose has been successfully accomplished. On the way to the capital Jinling, the prosperity of the Great Qi Empire along the way left an indelible impression on the indigenous leaders of Arslan and the Western Regions.

It's all logical. These indigenous leaders in the Western Regions, the most prosperous city they have seen in the past many years is Gaochang, and they have heard a lot about the prosperity of the Central Plains, but they have not seen it.

The yellow-headed Uighurs and the Dangxiang people cut off communication between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and many merchants from the Western Regions could only reach the territory of the Dangxiang, and the merchants of the Central Plains entered China more by sea than by land. Therefore, these indigenous leaders of the Western Regions are really a group of uninformed buns.

How did they see the prosperity of the Central Plains? The Central Plains cities encountered along the way, each one seemed so huge and prosperous.

The leaders of the tribes, like Arslan, once thought that Gaochang City was already the first magnificent and prosperous city in the world. But when they saw Chang'an, Luoyang, and Kaifeng, they understood that Gaochang City was nothing more than that.

As the first important town in the northwest of Luqi, Chang'an has developed a lot in recent years. Although Luoyang and Kaifeng are not as prosperous as they were in the Zhao and Song dynasties, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and the two cities still have hundreds of thousands of people.

In this way, the prosperous city of Gaochang seems to have become an inconspicuous small city.

Originally, they thought that the Central Plains was already a heavenly kingdom on earth, but when they entered the territory of Qilu and went south along the Grand Canal, passing through Jeju, Xuzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, they felt that the Central Plains they saw before seemed to be a little inadequate. This is the real paradise on earth.

Arslan felt as if he had entered the paradise of the true gods, with endless riches, silk and silk, gold and silver, and no hunger or poverty, and he did not even see a beggar along the way. Isn't this paradise?

The abundant materials, rich land, dense population, and rich and healthy life of the people in the Central Plains were beyond his dreams. He now finally understood why China would abandon the city of Gaochang so easily, and so rashly abandon such a rich city for some spiritual pursuits.

How can the Chinese sitting on the Central Plains put a Gaochang city in their eyes? It's as ridiculous as saying that a rich man cares about a good dinner.

Gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, beautiful porcelain and dazzling beauties, as well as all kinds of meat and wine. He really couldn't think of anything that the Central Plains didn't have. When passing through Yangzhou, the Zhangtai Chu Pavilion in Yangzhou City opened his eyes.

For a moment, Arslan felt the urge to take everything he had for himself.

It's just that this impulse comes and goes faster.

The cannons on the top of the tall city were mercilessly shattering Arslan's thoughts.

He had never seen so many cannons.

And he, who followed his father A Jisi through the western expedition of the Lu Qi army, whenever he looked at the artillery at the head of the city, it was as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his body reflexively stirred, and his whole body trembled.

It's as if you're back in the days of fear when you were dominated by artillery.

Artillery tastes very bad. Watching the men and horses he brought up with his hands being wiped out in batches under the artillery fire of the Qi army, that terrifying feeling still haunts Arslan's heart.

An inn in Jinling City, the small courtyard rented by Arslan is in the westernmost part of the inn, and the night is dark at this moment, but the lights are shining.

Arslan's servants and attendants were all gathered together. Everyone's faces were very gloomy, and their prince had made a very uncomfortable but very correct decision.

"We have a long history, in the past years, we have surrendered to the feet of the Persians, to the feet of the Kushan Empire, to the feet of the Celestial People, and now we can also surrender to the feet of the Chinese in order to survive."

"There is no shame in surrendering to the strong. Everything is to live, and only by living can there be hope. ”

"In the past thousands of years, countless powerful empires have been submerged in time, even the Chinese, from the original Han Empire to the later Tang Empire, and then to the current Daqi Dynasty, the national situation has also risen and fallen."

"Just like the Seljuks, when the Great Qi Dynasty declined, we can regain our freedom......"

For more than a thousand years, the Flowerthorn Zim people have become accustomed to surrendering to the feet of the strong, and this surrender has been repeated many times, and they have all become accustomed to it.
