Chapter 154 Thirsty for Talent

Today's Europe, like China, is in a period of great turmoil, Western Rome has been destroyed by the barbarians, Western Europe is now in charge of the Merovingian dynasty, before the Renaissance began, this period full of darkness and barbarism is called the Middle Ages, it is also called the Dark Ages

Even if China is in troubled times, but no matter the development of economy and science and technology is stronger than Europe, of course, after the birth of Chen Yu, the demon of Chen Yu, the gap between the two sides will only get bigger and bigger, at this time the Europeans still come to China with an attitude of looking up, of course, this attitude existed for a long time, until the beginning of the Opium War was completely over

If there were a few foreign devils in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yu would still be very interested, after all, at that time, the West was at least very capable in navigation and Western medicine, but at this time there was nothing worthy of Chen Yu's attention in Europe in the Dark Ages, well, the Roman sewer system was indeed unique in the world at that time, but netizens once ridiculed that it was because the Romans did not know how to use chemical fertilizers, although this was a joke, but Chen Yu would not let a few foreign devils from afar repair sewers in China. [No pop-ups. ใ€‘

"Although Your Majesty Great Qin is a barbarian land, but after all, these envoys have come from afar through mountains and rivers, and our Celestial Empire powers must at least receive them in terms of politeness, so it is better for me to send them on behalf of Your Majesty," Chen Yu asked Yuan Ziyou for instructions.

"Haha, then it's hard general" Yuan Ziyou was too lazy to deal with these difficult "savages", Chen Yu offered to help, of course he was extremely happy, Yuan Ziyou didn't take these barbarians seriously at all, so he didn't give Chen Yu any name as the reception envoy.

Chen Yu followed his little father-in-law all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he finally saw these two foreign devils, Chen Yu had already learned from his little father-in-law that these two foreign devils had been in the Northern Wei Dynasty for ten years, which was longer than Chen Yu himself.

The two foreign devils are tall and short, and it is not unusual for Chen Yu that they look good, but the priestly clothes of these two are relatively clean and tidy, and it is estimated that these two clothes should usually be collected, and they will only be worn on such an important occasion as the audience with the Son of Heaven.

"This is Chen Yu, the hussar general of the imperial court. Lord Chen is the special envoy sent by His Majesty to meet you, you can just go directly to Lord Chen if you have something in the future" The little eunuch commanded the envoy and said to the two missionaries, and said in his heart: This can be regarded as making these two foreign devils completely dead, and after Chen Yu leaves in a few days, the foreign devils can directly beat them back if they come to rub again.

The little father-in-law immediately changed into a respectful and smiling face, nodded to Chen Yu and said, "Lord Chen, these two barbarians." Oh, I'll leave the two envoys to you. The little ones are going back."

"Father-in-law go slowly" Chen Yu respectfully replied, and Qian Ergou on the side had already sent a string of copper coins to the little eunuch quietly without the master's instructions.

"In Lower Piero, this is Paul, see Lord Envoy" said the slightly shorter foreign devil, this foreign devil named Piero is not only not blunt at all when he speaks Chinese, but also the pronunciation of the local official dialect of Luoyang.

"Your Excellency the Ambassador speaks Chinese very neatly," Chen Yu said with admiration.

"In addition to Chinese, I also know Xianbei language, but Paul knows Rouran and Qiang languages," Piero said with a smug expression.

Chen Yu said in his heart that he understood Xianbei's words, after all, it is now the world of the Xianbei regime. I have been in contact with more over the years, although I am not proficient in Rouran, but I understand the daily language, but I have no concept of Qiang language at all, looking at some flirtatious foreign devils, how can Chen Yu make them proud, and only one sentence shatters the other party's self-confidence. โ€œsalvฤ“teโ€

The two missionaries who had gone through many hardships and dangers and did not change their color, immediately petrified when they heard Chen Yu's usual greeting in Latin, seeing that their eyes widened and their mouths opened at an incredible angle, Chen Yu immediately continued to say: "Who is His Royal Highness the Pope now, Is His Majesty Clovis still alive, and who is the king of Frankfurt now?"

The Roman Empire ruled Europe for a very long time, and the main language of Rome was Latin. In fact, Chen Yu just happened to only have this sentence, and this sentence was also strange when he said it in his mouth, Chen Xueba's English under the exam-oriented education was not bad, but now the United Kingdom of Great Britain is not a scumbag, and English is not used, otherwise Chen Yu can sell it well.

In terms of language, he really couldn't continue to pretend to be a cow, so Chen Yu used a series of questions to shock the other party to death. The facial expressions of these two missionaries are indeed quite unnatural now, but Chen Yu does not intend to stop there, "His Majesty Clovis I unified the Franks, conquered Gaul and converted to Roman Catholicism, which is also a rare hero, but what interests me most is the story of the Suissons Gold Cup"

The story of the Suissons Gold Cup, which was widely circulated in later generations, tells the story of a battle in which Clovis's men sacked a church and snatched a precious gold cup, and the bishop begged for Clovis' return.

But according to the Frankish tradition, the spoils of war are not divided according to status, including the king himself must rely on the lottery to determine the ownership of the spoils, Clovis himself is very fond of Catholicism, before the lottery he spoke in the hope that the person who got the gold cup can return the gold cup to the church, who would have thought that before his words fell, a warrior jumped out, this warrior not only raised his voice against but also directly smashed the gold cup with an axe.

Clovis did not have a seizure on the spot, and soon after, Clovis threw the soldier's axe to the ground under the pretext that the soldier's tomahawk had not been wiped clean. As the warrior leaned over to pick up the axe, Clovis drew his battle axe and slashed at the warrior, "What you did to Jinbei before, I will do to you now"

Clovis's cold and bloody methods frightened all the warriors present, and his authority was also established with the help of battle axes and blood, although this matter was later known to the world, but now only some Europeans know it, this story was brought up by Chen Yu at once, how can Piero and Paul not be shocked by the big teeth.

"Great, my lord, I even know the folklore of ours," said Paul, who was even taller, trembling.

"This is not the place to talk, if it's convenient for the two of you, come to my house and talk in detail" Chen Yu smiled and turned over and left first, as for these two foreign devils who were shocked beyond measure, they were naturally brought back by Qian Ergou.

The two foreign devils were left aside when they arrived at Chen Yu's mansion, not that Chen Yu intended to make a big deal, because Chen Yu happened to have an important guest to meet today, and this person had just arrived.

After Yuan Shen's crusade against the Six Towns failed and was killed, Yu Jin, the first think tank under his command, was idle at home, Chen Yu knew that Yuan Ziyou's vision would definitely be reused for Jin, so he wanted to grab this talent before Yuan Ziyou, Chen Yu believed that as long as Yu Jin let go, Yuan Ziyou would not give himself this face, after all, Yu Jin's fame is not so big that Yuan Ziyou is reluctant.

It is not the first time that Chen Yu and Yu Jin have met, and they both worked under Yuan Yu at the beginning, although they do not have too deep friendship with each other, they are at least familiar.

"I heard that Lord Chen has been promoted to the general of the hussars and the three divisions of Yitong, which is really gratifying," Yu Jin said politely when he entered the door.

"Brother Si Jing's news is sensitive, but you and I don't have to be polite if we get acquainted" Chen Yu let Yu Jin into the big house, and the two sat down and chatted casually, and then Chen Yu led the topic to the six towns, "Ge Rong is now a man of Du Luo Zhou, and there are already millions of people under him, I don't know how Brother Si Jing thinks the imperial court should deal with him."

"Lord Chen laughed, although Ge Rong has occupied the five prefectures of Ji, Ding, Cang, Ying, and Yin, and the soldiers and horses are strong for a while, but he is only more than 300,000 horses at most" Yu Jin thought for a while and said: "If it comes to strategy, Yan Gongzi, who has no last resort, is the best in this, how dare I show off in front of adults."

"Don't mention that there is no last resort, we were not all almost killed by Yuan Yu back then" Chen Yu smiled bitterly, "I do have some plans to deal with Ge Rong, and now I want to discuss it with Brother Xian, I don't know if Brother Xian is willing to defeat Ge Rong with me, this is not only to relieve the worries of the court, but also to allow you to avenge Lord Yuan Shen."

Chen Yu knew that Yu Jin and Yuan Shen had a very good relationship, and Yuan Shen let his son treat Jin with the gift of his son and nephew, and Yu Jin also regarded Yuan Shen as his own Bole, and he was always angry about Yuan Shen's death in Jin.

"Although the King of Guangyang died at the hands of Du Luo Zhou, he was defeated by the strategies of Yuwen Luosheng and Ge Rong, of course, because of the constraints of the traitor Yuan Hui, now Ge Rong in Hebei is indeed difficult to deal with, but Yuan Hui, who has gained the trust of the Son of Heaven, is even more difficult to deal with, and it is not easy to get rid of these people" Chen Yu said casually.

"At that time, because of the design of Yuan Hui, I had no choice but not to leave the front line, otherwise King Guangyang would not have ended up like this" Yu Jin's face was gloomy, "Lord Chen can deal with these people"

"That's right, these people are either my enemies or the moths of the court, they are all things I must get rid of, but my strength alone is not enough, I hope Brother Yu can help me" Chen Yu said in a sincere tone and with a firm attitude: "I promise not only to get rid of these people, but also to let my brother's ambitions be realized, and I will never bury my brother's talent"

"I don't seem to have any reason to refuse your proposal" Yu Jin smiled: "But I have always had a doubt in my heart, and I ask Brother Chen to help me solve it"

"You can ask any questions casually, I don't dare to say that I have known five hundred years before and after, and it is about the same" Chen Yu was overjoyed when he saw Yu Jin agree, as for what he knew, it was really not just five hundred years to be continued.
