Chapter 444: Long-distance Close Attack Intercontinental Edition
Suning's idea looks very familiar, because back then, she was to unite the Rest Empire and kill the Kushan Empire. Although the war was going on, it did not attract widespread attention, at least the ancient Eastern Empire did not take this matter to heart, but later more and more people realized the serious impact of this matter, which is of course very easy to understand, after all, the three main countries participating in the war are among the four major classical empires, accounting for 75% of the total, and this time Suning is ready to repeat the old trick, still using 75% of the proportion to kill the Roman Empire and the Rest Empire between him, For the emperors of the Roman Empire, this trick may not have worked as well as it once did.
Therefore, when Commodus received the envoys sent by Suning, he only agreed to the request for trade, but such a choice did not cause any substantial change for the two countries, and the distance between them was too far, so that all the caravans would be afraid of the strong along the way, not to mention the rest of the empire in the middle, it was impossible for their caravans to pass safely and securely.
Fortunately, Suning immediately launched a new countermeasure, after all, his navy has begun to be established in the northwest of India, and the Greeks who invaded Central Asia did not lose much of the blue civilization of their ancestors.
So the maritime trade with parts of the Roman Empire was pushed up in this way, and the foreground of history, although they were able to send goods to Egypt on the Red Sea coast at most, and during the period, they would be subjected to various plunders along the coast of the Anxi Empire, but it was also in this context that the naval forces of the Han Empire finally got a reasonable training ground.
By the time Severus came to power, trade with the Han Empire to the east had become one of Egypt's most important incomes, much to his surprise as a North African, who had never imagined that the distant Seris could find the Roman Empire from the sea.
In the past, if they wanted to get the green silk, they could only wait obediently at the land transportation hub, Zhao Yuanfang did not have a caravan from Anxi to bring them those exquisite goods, if the Roman Empire and the Sabbatical Empire broke out, then the caravan would also be cut off because of this, although there would be a small number of merchants who risked their lives and continued to sell goods, but after all, it was only a few.
Unfortunately, in the past few decades, they have repeatedly clashed with the Resting Empire, and even extended their territory to the Two Rivers Valley, where they still confront it to this day.
That meant that their mountain path on the road was not as smooth as expected, so much so that when Sai Weilu discovered the Maritime Silk Road, he immediately excitedly received Suning's envoy.
You must know that at this time, the Roman Empire, on the mainland, almost completely severed its ties with the Han Empire, not only because of the barrier of the Rest Empire, but also because the hated Syrian governor had rebelled.
Nigel did not have the support of the Senate like Severus, and the original secession side was obviously not as effective as Severus's active policy, knowing that direct control of the capital was tantamount to receiving the title of freshman, so that he could command other provinces in the empire to work together against Syria.
In other words, it was too difficult for a place like the Roman Empire, which had more than a hundred provinces, to stand on its own. So you don't need to worry at all, Nigel who makes the wrong decision will always be able to turn defeat into victory.
So he put all his bets on Saiviru, and the people around Beijing were the ones who became the next emperor smoothly according to the original historical process.
Emperor Zhang Lu obviously did not mean to refuse the olive branch from the Far East. He spared no effort to inquire about the changes in the Han Empire in recent years, because when this envoy left the Han Dynasty, Suning's deity was still fighting on the battlefield of the Kushan Empire, so what he could bring to the emperor was actually not much, but since the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, His Majesty the Emperor was able to bring a lot of useful news to this envoy.
At least this envoy had learned from the communication with the Yellow Emperor that Suning had defeated the Anxikou Empire, which had sent troops with him to attack the Kushan Empire, in the battles of the previous few years, and had moved the battle line to the hinterland of the H Empire. Even the land in the Hulushan region, where the soil is quite fertile, has become the territory of the Han Empire, and if this situation continues, Suning can rely on its strong national strength to slowly devour the border areas of the Anxi Empire. This is that the two countries have not been able to reach an agreement to end the war, so they may start a new large-scale battle again at any time, which is obviously unfavorable for the Han Dynasty, because it takes them a while to digest the territory they have obtained, and for the victorious countries, it is what they should do to take advantage of the opportunity of peace talks to get a war reparation from the defeated country.
In this way, while digesting the territory that has just been acquired, it can also further weaken the enemy's national strength. It is a pity that in the nearby international order, even if the armistice is negotiated, it is not necessarily how much money will be paid to the other side, not to mention that like those European powers in later generations, they will use their customs revenues as collateral, and even try to control the customs power of the Qing Dynasty.
However, this time it is no longer within the scope of the deceased's worries, because there is another more practical content that requires him to worry about Saiwei aloe vera, when the royal brother states these things, he often inadvertently shows a worried look, because the envoy has made friends in the Roman Empire on a large scale, and now many people have guessed that they are going to deal with the Sabbath Empire together, but the clever Emperor Saiweilu of course saw through Suning's strategy, after all, they have already played once before, This time, I'm afraid only fools will be fooled.
This made the envoy very worried about whether this long-distance close attack would be successful, but it was a pity that the reigning emperor did not give a clear answer to this, which made him wonder whether he should continue his diplomatic activities in the imperial capital that had just ended a chaotic battle.
