Chapter 1284: Emperor Hongwu's Saint Seiya
The slaves of Egypt were freed and helped the Qin army to eliminate the Egyptian legions in Rome. And the expeditionary force led by the great general Zhao Yun also won victories in the European battlefield. With the help of slaves from all regions, the Roman army swept away the way of the way, so that in the end, the Romans did not dare to leave any slaves to work in the city.
In May 222 A.D., the army of Emperor Hongwu and the army of the great general joined forces in Greece. Will be a descendant of the bloodline of the Greek governor of glory, Marcus. Junius. Octavian and his army of 500,000 men surrounded the Greek city.
Roman City, Palace Hill, inside the main hall. The Triumphant Emperor Severus looked haggard, and his palace was very empty, because all the artifacts related to Great Qin had been smashed by him, and he was poor and had no other luxuries to fill in. And the maids, who changed back into Roman clothes, were also emaciated.
Severus' scarlet eyes, gazing at the coat of arms on the palace wall that symbolizes the glory of Rome.
"Your Majesty, Caesar died...... Emperor Hongwu's army surrounded Greece, and Governor Octavian asked for reinforcements." The first patriarch, Antonique, suddenly grew old, and his trembling voice was out of breath after saying these words.
"Reinforcements?" Severus's muscular body trembled.
The only thing Severus could do was to defend the last of Rome.
In the once glorious hall where all ethnic groups came to worship, only desolation remained.
In fact, Rome's national strength was not at a disadvantage in the face of Great Qin. However, Rome's powerful national power was based on the exploitation and enslavement of the peoples of the world, and at this moment, the peoples of the world were united around Daqin. The world, to make Rome pay the price of enslaving all races, let alone a Rome. Ten Romans together could not stand it.
Rome's current fate is inseparable from his enslavement of all peoples of the world. Exploitation and oppression of tens of millions of slaves. is so inhumane, and only the old American slaves can be compared with the black slaves in later generations. Slavery in modern civilization. It's a shame to the whole world.
However, Rome will not be resigned to defeat and it will save itself.
As one of its members, Antonic said: "Your Majesty, there are many slaves in the Empire. If you can win over these people, and the slaves do not support Emperor Hongwu and support you, then Rome still has a chance. β
"Is this possible?" Severus said as he looked at him with red eyes.
Old Anthony trembled. "As long as His Majesty grants them freedom, in giving them the status of Roman citizens. After defeating Great Qin, rewarding them, I think it should be possible. β
Rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and now Severus is at the end of his rope, whether it works or not, he has to try.
So, Antonic sent a team of envoys with Severus's credentials. Run around the areas where Rome still controls and give freedom to slaves.
XX City, the central square, Roman officials faced tens of thousands of slaves. Impassionedly, "You are free, you are all Roman citizens now." Let's take up arms and destroy Great Qin. After the destruction of Great Qin, the wealth of Great Qin will be yours. You're all noble....... β
Square, dark skin. The white-skinned, yellow-skinned slaves all looked at each other. Although they have been slaves for a long time, it does not mean that they do not understand, they serve treacherous slave owners all day long, but they are more able to see their ugly faces.
Now all the races of the world are united, closely rally around Great Qin, and work together to deal with Rome, which enslaved other races. You Romans can't beat us, so they give us freedom and lie to us to deal with Daqin. "How is this possible, to take us for stupidity?"
Then some of the slaves cried out, "Are we free? β
The Roman official said, "Yes, you are all free." β
So the slaves shouted, "Then let's go out of the city!" β
The Roman officials were shocked, "What are you doing out of the city?" β
"To run to true freedom, of course!" The slaves said disdainfully.
"Damn, this is going to defect to Daqin, come on, take them all down, and arrest them as slaves."
"Shameless, despicable Roman ......."
The Romans once again showed the world the face of slave owners, and the slaves under the tide of liberation of Daqin rose up one after another. As a result, Severus' fight for slaves turned into a series of vigorous slave revolts, which made the existing Roman area even more unstable.
On the other hand, the city of Athens, the greatest city in the Greek city-states, was 12 li long from north to south and 16 li from east to west.
When Qin Feng crossed the Aegean Sea, he felt that the place full of sacredness and mission was calling him, "Could it be Athena's call!" Qin Feng could only smile.
The great cause created by Emperor Hongwu could not be completed even if Athena and her followers came into the world.
Two million troops surrounded Athens, and the camp was ten times the size of the city. In the future, the camp for 700 miles will stand aside.
On this day, Qin Feng strolled through the camp and discussed the attack on Athens with the accompanying military advisors. Qin Feng stood still in front of a destroyed temple, looking at the exquisite carved fragments in the huge ruins and frowning slightly, in the future generations, it is these today's garbage, and the pieces are also priceless.
Emperor Hongwu said earnestly: "Athens is a symbol of Greek civilization. The Persians destroyed it, the Romans destroyed it, and its people rebuilt better time and time again with their labor and wisdom. We, the Great Qin people, have come here, and we must not do these barbaric things. β
Pang Tong, who had just taken a step, retreated when he heard that his nose widened. Emperor Hongwu This is the qualitative of the battle of Athens, Pang Tong was depressed, he figured out a good plan yesterday, flooding, fire, attacking and burying the earth, but it was just ruined.
Emperor Hongwu turned around, faced his military advisor, and said, "Send someone to communicate with Octavian, if he can hand over the city of Athens to me completely, I can pardon him." After saying that, Emperor Hongwu returned to the imperial tent.
Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu met as soon as the five military advisors met, "It seems that the emperor is doing his best to ensure the completeness of the origin of Greek civilization." β
Then, the news spread.
When the Qin army came to Greece, they helped the local Greeks as if they were on their own. At the beginning, the Greeks only thought that Great Qin was a destroyer like Persia and Rome.
Gentle. The Greeks, full of wisdom, felt the benevolence of Great Qin. After learning the news, I was even more grateful. They came to the outside of the Qin military camp and worshiped Emperor Hongwu from afar. And when they looked up at the city of Athens. It was full of anger against the Romans.
The next day, Ponton came to the city of Athens with an olive branch unique to the Greeks, and he entered the city with Lì, and met Octavian in the Doge's palace in the Acropolis.
Pang Tong said indifferently: "Your Excellency the Governor, this is an opportunity for you, and this is also an opportunity for the Greek people, and Emperor Hongwu rarely gives such an opportunity. You have to grasp it. β
Today's shape shΓ¬ is the end of the world for the Romans in the city of Athens. However, the glory bloodline is the glory bloodline after all, Octavian was furious, "The glory of Rome will never be dimmed, you go back to Emperor SΓΉ Hongwu, if you want to get the city of Athens, fight me to the death!" β
Day 3. The powerful Qin army launched an offensive against the city of Athens.
On the fourth day, the Greeks in the city revolted, and they suddenly occupied the Acropolis in the center of Athens, echoing the Qin army outside the city.
The city of Athens is broken. Emperor Hongwu did not kill the Roman captives, but let these captives be re-educated in the Greek region to enslave the sins of the Greek people for them. Expiation.
Qin Feng entered the city of Athens due to the timely uprising of the Greeks. This ancient city of civilization's origins, has been preserved. Qin Feng was also able to ascend the one located in the center of the city. The Acropolis built on a hill. This acropolis is the most Greek place.
In this acropolis, there is the world-famous Parthenon Temple, and the even more world-famous Temple of Athena. On the hill on which the acropolis is located, there is a magnificent pillar-like temple representing the twelve main Greek gods, which was also the source of inspiration for the later zodiac signs.
Of course, Qin Feng, who has seen the Saint Seiya, is most concerned not about Zeus, but about Zeus's daughter Athena. When he walked into the temple of Athena, he was shocked by the statue of Athena. I saw that the colossus of the goddess Athena was 12 meters high. This goddess carries her holy crown, holds a war shield in her hand, and her beautiful face reveals wisdom and strength, she is the wisest goddess, a perfect combination of wisdom and strength.
And worthy of the surprise of the gods of Olympus, a graceful and stubborn goddess was born, she was radiant, and her demeanor was .......
The statue is 12 meters, and Qin Feng is about 1.8 meters, which makes him have to "look up", he looked around, and found no other statues, and said, "Hey, is there no Saint Seiya?" β
"Saint Seiya?" The old man with a long white beard, High Priest Phidias, who followed and explained all the way, was dumbfounded, "There is a Saint Seiya? β
So, Qin Feng hehehe, he told about the goddess with Chinese characteristics and the Chinese fighters who belonged to her. The Greek priests were shocked and shocked with this mythical story. "The goddess of wisdom and war, and her saint warrior of China!"
The high priest immediately grasped the point, and now that he can contact Huaxia, it is all necessary to grasp. As a result, this myth was recorded and incorporated into the Greek gods.
When Qin Feng was about to leave the temple of Athena, he reluctantly looked at the goddess of wisdom and war, he hoped to remember the face of this goddess, maybe he would not come again in this life, he sighed, and said: "How good it would be if I could see it every day." β
Every word of the emperor has to be figured out. Qin Feng went back to rest, and the military advisors discussed with the Greek priests.
"No, no, no, you must not move to Yedu!" The high priest was sweating and said, "Otherwise, I will take the craftsman to Yedu to re-carve a statue of the goddess." He felt that this was a good way to show the world the position of the Greek nation in the Great Qin Empire.
"No, no, no, this is too hard for the people and money, the emperor advocates frugality, and he will definitely not agree." Pang Tong said.
The high priest was very disappointed, and at this time, Lao Jia Xu rolled his eyes, pointed to the goddess and said, "We can carve the emperor's statue next to the goddess......." β
"Hey, that makes sense!" The high priest was overjoyed, and after he was reminded, he suddenly became enlightened, "Not only to carve the colossal statue of the emperor, but also to carve the statue of the twelve saints!" He said secretly: "This is connected with Emperor Hongwu, and it is good for the Greek region." β
So, the Greek master carvers took action, and carved a fifteen-meter-high statue of Hongwu the Great three meters higher than the goddess statue in front of the graceful statue of the goddess of wisdom and war. In this way, Emperor Hongwu can be with the goddess every day.
In addition, a smaller statue of the saint warrior was carved outside the temple, and since then, the story that the goddess and the Hongwu Emperor had to tell began to be widely spread. When the Greeks were shocked by the majestic statue of the Emperor Hongwu, they were in awe of the stone statue of the Saint Seiya.
The Greeks always taught their younger generations like this, "You see that these saint warriors are very powerful, they all follow the Hongwu Emperor, you see this big red face with five strands of long hair, this waist is ten girths, the weapon in this hand is called the double iron halberd, and this white-faced and handsome is the first saint seiya ......." β
As a result, there is a legend of the Saint Seiya in later generations, the Saint Seiya of the Hongwu Emperor, according to the relationship between the Hongwu Emperor and the Goddess, that is, the Saint Seiya of the Goddess. Later, the island country had "immortal little power", which was actually inspired by the story that Emperor Hongwu and the goddess had to say.
