It sounds cruel to have the women of the empire sell their lives. [Marshmallow updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, no pop-ups, I like this kind of website the most, I must praise it] But as a party, the female mistress of S.H.I.E.L.D. was basically abandoned by her family from birth, and it was Luan Yi, Guo Jia and the empire who adopted them and raised them as adults. They are very grateful for this, and since they have been children, they have been determined to give everything for the good of the empire - both ** and soul.

At the same time that the Aegis operatives used ** to obtain information, a new commodity was circulated and soon became the favorite of the Roman upper class - it was opium.

In fact, a long time ago, Luan Yi thought of grafting some of the ways and means of the invasion of the Qing Dynasty by Western countries in later generations into his own foreign wars. In this regard, opium applications bear the brunt of the problem.

In the Qing Dynasty, because China's silk and porcelain were favored by the West, and many products of the West were difficult to be accepted by the Qing Dynasty, the West was always in a state of superpower in the East-West trade, and the rolling wealth fell into the pocket of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to reverse the trade deficit, the British invented opium, a spiritual poison, and through its addictive properties, the Qing Dynasty people with big braids became dependent on it, and then earned a huge amount of wealth back to Britain, and at the same time, the poison of opium poisoned the physical and mental health of the Qing Dynasty.

It can be said that the opium trade was the beginning of the trade war between Westerners and the Manchus, and the subsequent opium war was the first step in the history of humiliation of Chinese civilization.

Take history as a mirror to see gains and losses. Combined with this history, Luan Yi decided to use opium as a stepping stone to invade Rome in his strategy against Rome. To this end, he specially set up a medical team headed by Hua Tuo, which is dedicated to the development of drug purification technology for poppies.

After three months of study, Hua Tuoguo lived up to expectations, not only successfully condensed opium, but also discovered many medicinal properties of opium.

After obtaining opium, Luan Yi strictly forbade the cultivation of opium poppies and the production and sale of opium in any unofficial institutions and individuals in the empire and its subordinate countries, otherwise he would be punished for the crime of treason and punished by the nine tribes.

At the same time, he ordered Hua Tuo to work overtime and do his best to produce a batch of opium within a month. [Marshmallow updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few advertisements, no pop-ups, I like this kind of website the most, I must praise it] This batch of opium was then transported to Rome with the Nanyang Fleet.

Luan Yi not only wanted to use opium, silk and porcelain to squeeze the wealth of the Romans, but also to make this group of brave men who once dominated the battlefield become the sick man of Xiniu Hezhou after years of drug abuse.

……

It is said that Sun Quan spent more than half a year in Rome singing and singing at night, and when he saw that the work of the empire was in full swing, the merchants of the empire sold out of goods, and purchased a lot of goods worth bringing back to the country for sale, he knew that it was time to leave for China.

After bidding farewell to the consul Severus, Sun Quan and his entourage embarked on the journey home, boarded the ship, left the port, and sailed out into the vast sea. While passing through the Suez Canal, Sun Quan had no choice but to ask the Egyptian province for assistance again. The poor Egyptians had to put down their spring farming tools and run to the canal once again to ship the huge ship Seris.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Quan met with Nefret and several of his subordinates, who came to see him off. He handed over fifty cannons and a thousand shells from the ship to Nefrit, saying that these cannons were given to the Egyptian people by His Majesty the Pope, and hoped that the Egyptian people would succeed in the ** war. In addition, he returned some of the money paid by Nefrit to Nefrit. Tell her that this money is not given in vain, but that after Egypt wins the first battle, it will use this money to widen and deepen the section of the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, and that after the deed is completed, the empire will have a reward. Wait until the next time you come to Rome to bring it to Nefrit.

Nefret wished that the Empire's warships were in and out of the Mediterranean, serving as her and Egypt's backers. So Sun Quan's request, she agreed without hesitation. He also pledged that as Seris's future vassal state in the state of West Niuhe, Egypt and the Egyptian people were willing to serve the great suzerain.

Sun Quan and his Nanyang fleet had not yet left Egypt before they could rest in peace. The ** war in Egypt began under the call of Nafrit, a descendant of the royal family.

Over the years, the people of Egypt, who had been oppressed by Rome, responded one after another. Nefret soon gathered more than 50,000 rebels.

With the help of artillery and grenades, the rebels captured many important Egyptian towns in Luxor and Thebes all the way, and the troops pointed directly at Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

The military situation was urgent, and the Roman governor of Egypt hurried to the mainland for help. Severus only learned of the news of the Egyptian military mutiny, and after hearing that the Egyptians had used the firearms exclusive to Seris, he roared: "The Seris are shameless and do not abide by the alliance treaty", and at the same time, he took Jian Yong, Sun Quan's envoy who had left him in Rome, and seized the scholar's hut opened by the Imperial Minister, and all the Seris in the courtyard were arrested.

"Why did the Egyptians have gunpowder?" Severus asked angrily.

"Your Excellency the Archon is angry." Jian Yong said unhurriedly: "Before, when the Imperial Nanyang Fleet passed through Egypt, due to the grounding of the battleship, many artillery and ammunition were transported to Alexandria by land. Your Excellency knows this. But there is one thing, General Sun is embarrassed to tell you, in the process of land transportation, I don't know if someone stole it, or if there was a mistake in the Imperial Navy, we lost more than 100 artillery pieces. General Sun sent people to look around for a long time, but they did not find any trace of them. In order to maintain the face of the empire, and at the same time to avoid the loss of ordnance and responsibility, the matter was suppressed. ”

"In order not to be held responsible?" Jian Yong's words are reasonable, and Severus can understand them. Or more accurately, he did something of a similar nature before he became consul. "So the siege engines were not given to the Egyptians by the Seris, but stolen by them?"

"Exactly." Jian Yong's face was full of sincerity.

"Are you saying that in order to evade the guilt of the Seris military, your General Sun deliberately concealed the loss of more than a hundred artillery pieces?"

Jian Yong looked embarrassed, "Just as Your Excellency the Archon said. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused to your country by our negligence. ”

"Regrets?" As soon as Severus heard this, he was angry and did not fight. "You have been negligent, but you have caused our Egypt to become a pot of porridge. How to calculate this account. ”

"Then dare to ask the honorable consul, what are you going to do?"

"You ......" Severus choked for a moment, he was only angry before, and he really didn't think about how to punish the hateful Seris. That's it! Due to the consequences of Seris's army in Rome, Rome demanded five million Roman gold coins from Seris. ”

"Five million gold coins?" One Roman gold coin is estimated to be one or two, which is equivalent to five million taels of gold. "Your Excellency, you are a bit of a lion's mouth!"

"Why don't you want to pay?"

Jian Yong said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The courage to take responsibility is one of the most important tenets of the empire. We have nothing to say about what we should pay. But in the case of the rebellion of the Egyptians, we do not bear the main responsibility and should not pay such a large sum of money. ”

"If you dare not pay reparations, I will kill all the Seris in Rome." Severus roared.

"The two countries have not yet fought each other, and the empire and Rome are allies, and if Your Excellency the Consul kills me, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at me?"

Severus raised his eyebrows, "I'm a dignified Roman consul, who dares to laugh at me." Someone, drag this person down. ”

Seeing this, Petronius, the commander of the guards who was guarding Severus, hurried up to persuade him. "Your Excellency, this person can't be killed, can't be killed! Rome now has an alliance with Seris, and if he is killed, it will be a breach of contract, and he will lose his trust in the world! Moreover, the Seris now had a great deal of relations with the senators of the Roman Senate, as well as with many nobles in the country. You took Mr. Jane's life, and it might lead to civil strife. ”

Upon hearing this, Severus fell silent, raised his eyebrows and asked Petronius, "Can't be killed?" ”

Petronius replied, "Absolutely unkillable." ”

"That's good! Then drive this guy and the Seris out of Rome. I don't want to see them again. ”

"Oh, sir, don't be rash." Petronius' re-persuasion was in vain. Over the next few days, the Romans broke into the scholar's hut in the port of Ostia and arrested all the Chinese Empire and marched them to the eastern frontier of Rome. This news was soon discovered by the Roman nobility and people at all levels, causing great discontent.

A majority of the senators used their power to reject the consul's order to expel the Seris at the Senate. Indicates that as an ally, Seris is an eternal friend of Rome. As a free and civilized nation, the personal freedom of the people of our allies cannot be restricted.

Due to the rules of the patriarchal parliamentary system, Severus had to withdraw his previous instructions and invite Jian Yong and his party back.

This incident further exacerbated Severus's antipathy to the so-called democratic politics of Rome, and he wished to be like Qin Shi Huang in the history of Seris as soon as possible, and he would monopolize the power in his hands and become a pharaoh-like existence of the Roman Empire.

However, the ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, just when he was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, bad news came from Egypt, Cairo fell, and Nafrit, a descendant of the royal family, proclaimed herself queen of Egypt and established a kingdom outside the Roman Empire.

Before the road to supremacy had begun, Severus lost a large piece of fat. In a fit of rage, Severus immediately dispatched 50,000 Roman troops to the sea to attack Egypt.

In this coastal defense war, the valiant Egyptians again won the victory with artillery and thunderbolts, and only half of the 50,000 Roman soldiers fled back, and the Romans suffered a serious setback.

Egypt's victory not only boosted the morale of the invincible Romans, but also greatly boosted the morale of the other Roman colonial provinces. The Spartans of the Greek city-states were the first to raise the flag, and these majestic men who had been slaves for many years for the Romans vented the flames of revenge on the Romans. Although they were not aided by gunpowder, as the most warlike race in the world, they relied on their invincible strength, supplemented by the low morale of the Romans after the defeat of Egypt, and won a series of battles in the initial stage of the war. The rest of the Greek city-states then responded with an unprecedentedly large Greek coalition that besieged Athens.
