"This ...... This...... This is Jicheng?! ”

After more than half a year of wandering on the sea, the three princes of Persia finally arrived in Liaodong smoothly. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looking at the magnificent Jicheng, let him feel shocked from the depths of his heart, the magnificent buildings will make people feel a desire to surrender from the bottom of their hearts!

After the defeat of Malacca, all the Persians thought that they had arrived in another world. In the waters of the South Seas, the Persian prince met the Liaodong sailors who were rampant on the sea, and he was both shocked by the vastness of the territory of the Great Jin Empire, and was also intimidated by the wealth and power of the Great Jin Empire!

After coming ashore in Lushun, the Persian prince entered the interior of Liaodong, and the first thing he entered was the straight and wide roads and star-studded towns in the eyes of the Persians. Jin Min, who lives in the town, has a happy and confident smile on his face, which impresses Hormizd III.

In the end, when these Persians saw Jicheng, no one doubted the strength of the Great Jin, which was a great, rich, and powerful country.

"After Arhan saw the great Thistle City, I finally had confidence in the restoration of the country. The country that was able to create such a magnificent city would never be weaker! Let's go and visit the city! ”

Hormizd III rode through the huge urn city in a carriage and slowly walked into the first city under heaven. After going ashore, the Persians were accustomed to taking a horse-drawn carriage, and the horse-drawn carriage service in Liaodong was the most convenient transportation at present; Second, the roads in Liaodong are smooth, and the carriage has good shock absorption measures, so that the carriage can hardly feel any bumps.

In the carriage, the third prince of Persia asked Arhan beside him: "Arhan, do you say that the Great Jin will support our restoration?" ”

"It's not easy to say, but I heard that the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty likes to be famous, His Royal Highness might as well pay tribute to the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty first, in exchange for the support of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Knowing that he had to be a vassal to the Great Jin Dynasty in order to gain support, the third prince of Persia showed a hint of displeasure on his face. Thinking that Persia was once the overlord of the ruling side, and even a strong Roman had never conquered Persia, I didn't expect that today I would have to pay tribute to the Great Jin.

"Your Royal Highness, in order to realize your dream of returning to Persia, we must endure humiliation. When we return to Persia in the future, we will no longer have to look at other people's faces. ”

"Well, well, if you are a minister, you will be a minister!"

……

The secret letter about the whereabouts of the Persian prince was quickly delivered to Wei Shuo. After learning the news, Wei Shuo was shocked, to be honest, he had no idea that the butterfly effect he had set off would affect Persia.

"King, what did this Persian prince do secretly to my Great Jin?" Mo Han was confused.

In fact, not only Mo Han, except for Wei Shuo, who knew something about Persia, the rest of the people were completely blind to Persia, and if they didn't understand Persia, they naturally couldn't judge the Persians' intentions.

"What you don't know is that just over a decade ago, civil strife broke out in Persia like the Great Jin Dynasty. In this civil strife, the Persians lost their own emperor. The rebels then supported the emperor's widow to the throne, but killed several of the emperor's other adult princes, only one of whom was lucky enough to escape from Persia. ”

"Originally, the prince of Persia had been staying in Eastern Rome, but he didn't expect to come to my Liaodong today. Moreover, during his exile in Rome, this prince never gave up revenge, but because the Eastern Emperor Licinius was busy competing with Constantine for the right to rule Rome, he had no time to take care of Persia, so the Persian prince has been ruined to this day. ”

"So this Persian prince didn't see any hope of recovering his country in Rome, so he came to Liaodong to try his luck?"

After listening to Wei Shuo's introduction, everyone suddenly understood at a glance the intention of the Persian prince, and the biggest possibility was that he wanted to realize the dream of recovering the country with the help of Liaodong.

So the question is, should Liaodong support the restoration of the Persian prince?

"Great King, Persia is the most important country in the middle of the Silk Road, west of the Western Regions. Suffice it to say that if Persia were to cut off land communications, the Silk Road would also be interrupted. If it was the hands of the Persian princes who intervened in Persia, the minister thought that he might as well give it a try. ”

"The king, the minister thinks that he should also support the Persian prince, now that Liaodong has pacified the internal troubles, it is time to start recovering the hegemony of the Western Regions. And once Liaodong moved west into the Western Regions, the value of Persia was reflected. Liaodong supported the restoration of the Persian prince, and perhaps could control it in Liaodong's hands. ”

Looking at the excited subordinates, Wei Shuo smiled: "Hehe, this is really beyond the expectations of the widow, I didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm to be so high." However, you all underestimate Persia, the country of Persia is not weak, and it is a little far away from my China, and it is almost impossible to control Persia. ”

"Look, this is a map of the world, and there are several countries between the Great Jin and Persia. It's a bit unrealistic for us to come to the aid of this Persian prince directly, and at least for five to ten years, our Great Jin will not be able to influence Persia. ”

"The king is too modest, with the majesty and talent of the king, it is a matter of time before he takes the Western Regions and several countries in the west!"

In recent years, as Liaodong has become stronger and stronger, it has also boosted the arrogance of everyone, and it can be said that except for Rome, other countries in the world do not pay attention to them at all. However, Wei Shuo knew that whether it was West Asian Persia or the Gupta Empire in South Asia, or even the North Asian Gupta Empire, they would enter or be in their heyday, and almost every empire had the ability to wrestle with the Great Jin.

"The strength of Persia is not inferior to our dynasty, and it is also a long way to go, even if we take the Western Regions, we will not be able to control Persia. In fact, the only benefit of our support for the restoration of the Persian prince is to be able to establish ties with Persia, which is good for strengthening trade between the two sides. ”

"As we all know, since the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, there have been frequent trade exchanges between our Great Jin Dynasty and Rome. And because there are no other countries in the middle to extract heavy taxes, both sides benefit greatly. If it weren't for the fact that the sea route was too risky, I am afraid that it would have replaced the Silk Road on land long ago. ”

"The reason why the overland Silk Road can't catch up with the sea is because the taxes drawn by Persia and other countries are too heavy."

At this time, Mo Han's eyes rolled and said: "King, the minister has a plan to ensure that my China will always enjoy the Silk Road!" ”

"Oh? I don't know what Shirong's plan is? ”

"Speaking of which, the person who broke the situation is still in the Persian prince, Liaodong's support for the Persian prince does not necessarily have to support his restoration, in fact, we can use the Persian prince to divide Persia. As long as the powerful Persia was divided, Liaodong would be able to profit from it. ”

Mo Han's words made Wei Shuo's eyes light up, others didn't know how powerful Persia was, how could he not know? It won't be long before Shapur II grows up, and Persia will usher in a golden age. But if the Persian prince is used to strangle the rise of Persia in the cradle, then Liaodong will definitely be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Well, Shirong's words have won my heart, and Persia is also a country with a long history, and the current king Shapur II is young, but he is ambitious and intelligent. If left unchecked, Persia would rise under the leadership of Shapur II as a veritable hegemon in Western Asia. ”

"Once Persia rises, it will inevitably expand to the east and west, and Persia will definitely affect the stability of the Western Regions to the east, which means that if we don't want to contain Persia now, then maybe ten or twenty years later, we will have to fight Persia for the hegemony of the Western Regions."

Wei Shuo's words made everyone realize the importance of containing the rise of Persia, but fortunately, the Persian prince crashed into the arms of Liaodong with an ignorant face, which saved the Liaodong people too much thought. There are too many ready-made examples in Chinese history to learn from such things as designing the division of enemy countries and disturbing the situation of enemy countries.

Originally, this method was used on Huaxia himself, but it was the first time that it was used on a foreign enemy, which made the cabinet ministers extremely excited and excited.

Seeing this scene, Wei Shuo was also excited, he tried his best to introduce Rome and Persia, not just hoping to open the horizons of the Chinese elites, so that everyone should not always stare at the acres and thirds of land in front of them, and look up more to look outside China.

As the reconstruction of Luoyang nears its end, more and more people are pouring into Luoyang. Among the crowds of people entering and leaving, there was a group of Persians who stood out in particular, and this group of people was the Persian prince and his party who had just arrived in Luoyang, Beijing.

Knowing that Wei Shuo was in Luoyang, the Persians did not stay in Jicheng for long, but set off for Luoyang after packing up a little. After entering Luoyang, Hormizd III was a little disappointed, because he found that Luoyang, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, was far less magnificent and prosperous than Jicheng.
