Chapter 80: Return to Macao

Before the crossing of the king's army, the land field, the edge of the Spartan army, no one could resist, but the number was a little less;

After the crossing of the king's army, the Spartan army, which had skyrocketed in number, had a lot of average individual soldier quality, but its overall strength was far better than before;

With the addition of the longbowmen, a new class, the Spartan army has been strengthened; If 3,000 longbowmen face 3,000 Spartan Royal Guards, as long as a certain distance is given, the defeat will definitely be the Royal Guard, and it will be a miserable defeat.

Because the killing ability of longbowmen was too terrifying, Leonidas made an exception to promote all non-Spartan longbowmen warriors to the rank of second-class citizens of the Empire; In addition, strict confidentiality measures have been arranged for the production and storage of longbows, and the outflow of longbows is prohibited; Longbowmen also have an obvious disadvantage, the consumption of arrows is too large, and a casual battle will consume tens of thousands of arrows; Due to the high consumption and the need for strict control, Leonidas simply kept the longbowmen at 3,000 for the time being.

The trebuchets that began to be equipped one after another completely changed the situation of the weak siege ability of the Spartan army, and at the same time gave the Spartan navy long-range high-power weapons; In the words popular in the Spartan army, in front of the trebuchet, there was no city that could not be captured, and there was no battleship that could not be smashed; Naturally, as strategic weapons, trebuchets and longbows enjoyed the same treatment.

Relatively speaking, the Middle Route Army, that is, the 50,000 army led by Leonidas himself, was the elite of the Spartan army, and the 10,000 royal guards naturally had to follow the emperor's side; In the face of the peerless edge of the Spartan Middle Route Army, the Persian army chose to retreat. Madonhos, the commander of the Persian Western Expeditionary Army, did not hang in Plataya according to the historical process because of the king's army, and he now fled all the way with the remnants of the defeated army. In the early years, the territory conquered by Madonios himself was quite large, and it is said that Madonios personally ceded these areas to the Spartans one by one.

For Madonhos, there was no way around it.

In the case that the Persian Empire was unable to send reinforcements, with only 50,000 Persian troops in his hands, plus the last direct subordinate ship that retreated to the Thracian Sea, a total of 210 Persian sail warships, Madonios could not confront the fierce Leonidas; Instead of choosing to defend the city of Larissa, Madonios led his troops to retreat directly to the Macedonian region, giving up Thessaly.

It was not until the Persian army in Macedonia was gathered that the army strength under Madonios rose to more than 90,000 men, and it felt that it could barely fight; Hoping for luck, the Persian army chose to hold out at the city of Pyra in central Macedonia and waited for Leonidas' arrival.

The Western Route Army, Fassbinder, advanced all the way to the north, and the momentum was like a bamboo; With the fall of the city-state of Epirus, Illyria farther north did not fight a war, and chose to join the Spartan Empire. As far as Wang Jun was concerned, he was not at all interested in whether Illyria could be defeated; The Illyrian region is beyond the task of the plugin system, and Epirus belongs to the Greek territory of this period. After taking control of these two areas, Fassbinder's Western Route Army and the Central Route Army in Thessaly formed an offensive to flank the West Macedonian region, and the situation of the Northern Expedition was bright.

The Spartan army conquered Epirus, Illyria, and Thessaly in succession, and Leonidas was overjoyed.

The total area of these three regions was much larger than that of the Peloponnese, and the territory of the Spartan Empire was once again expanded by fifty percent. Because the territory of the Spartan Empire expanded too quickly, the original administrative division was no longer suitable, and there were many inconveniences in management; Leonidas himself was not good at this, and he didn't expect much from the dirt buns in the Senate, so he could only ask the king's army to replan the administrative area.

In order to allow Leonidas to lead the army to fight the "deserved" area, Wang Jun replanned the area that had not yet been conquered into the territory of the Spartan Empire; Of course, these areas that have not yet been laid down are within the scope of the "United Greece" mission released by the plugin system.

It was clear that Wang Jun did it on purpose, and the starting point was only to complete the task, but Leonidas looked at Wang Jun's hand-drawn map and looked very satisfied; The core reason for the satisfaction is that Wang Jun "expanded" the territory of the Spartan Empire, such as West Macedonia, Central Macedonia, Thrace-East Macedonia, Troy, etc., which were basically still in the hands of the Persians, and all of them were included in the territory.

Madonios' short-term goal was simply to hold the city of Pyra and thus maintain control of West Macedonia and prevent the Spartans from advancing eastward into Central Macedonia; Compared to Madonhos's short-term goals, Leonidad's goals are much stronger. With a powerful army, Leonidas crushed all the way north, unstoppable; The city of Pyra only halted Leonidas for three days.

Since the king army came to this world, Madonios's luck has been amazingly improved, and he has become a "little strong who can't be killed"; Nearly 100,000 Spartan troops had reduced the city of Pyra to almost ruins, but Madonios remained unharmed, and he was once again knocked unconscious and fled by his men; In this run, Madonhos did not stop for hundreds of kilometers and ran back to Asia Minor.

December 30, 479 BC, Troy, a city on the east coast of the Aegean Sea.

Madonhos looked at the bearded man across the table with a reluctant face, and Leonidas of course smiled; The defeat of the mighty Persian Empire at the hands of the Spartan Empire, coupled with the frequent rebellions of other subjects of the Empire, forced to send Madonios to sign a peace treaty in the Spartan-controlled city of Troy.

The entire Aegean coastal area of Asia Minor, including the Thracian Sea, was owned by the Spartan Empire, and the invincible Persian Empire had no land connected to the Aegean Sea; The Sea of Plofengtis, which penetrated deep into the Persian Empire, was also forcibly occupied by the Spartan Empire, which was equivalent to handing over the strategic place of the Strait of Helesbon to the Spartans.

The loss of control of the Strait of Hellesbang by the Persian Empire was even more tragic than the absence of a land border with the Aegean Sea; Henceforth, without the consent of the Spartans, no Persian ships could enter the Mediterranean region from the Sea of Plofontis, but could only go north to the Black Sea, and Persian ships in the Black Sea would likewise have to stop at the Strait of Hellesbon; To put it simply, the Persian Empire's merchant ships and warships in the Black Sea were trapped.

There is no so-called "Kariath contract" in history, Wang Jun's crossing has changed the historical course of this world, as for whether it will lead to the collapse of space and other things, it is considered by the plug-in system, and Wang Jun is not interested; Madonios humiliated himself signed his name on the "Trojan Treaty", his hair was pale, this contract nailed Madonios and the Persian Empire behind him to the pillar of shame, and also marked the decline of the Persian Empire.

The Spartan Empire finally stopped its expansion, and although Leonidas wanted to continue, the national power did not allow it; The empire was expanding rapidly, and many areas needed time to govern, and the war had set the Greek economy back a lot, and it took time to recover.

Leonidas's goal has been locked, and after 5 or 6 years, the Spartan Empire will conquer the Italian Peninsula westward, which is the "hometown" of the royal army; Of course, Leonidas didn't plan to communicate with Wang Jun about these thoughts, and he would wait until that point in time to make plans.

No matter what Leonidas thought, and no matter where the Spartan Empire was headed in the future, it didn't matter to Wang Jun.

The only pity is that Dina, who is far away in Sparta...... What a good girl, but Wang Jun didn't have the ability to take her away.

On the night of the signing of the "Trojan Treaty", Wang Jun, a member of the Spartan council who was also in the city of Troy, disappeared for no reason; The 12 hoplites who had been accompanying Wang Jun also disappeared.

"Life is to meet people! Death to see the corpse! ”

Leonidas' roar resounded throughout the night sky, and tens of thousands of Spartan soldiers were scattered all over the city and outside, searching everywhere.

Of course, all the search was in vain.

Dressed as a Roman general, Wang Jun is now lying on the wide and soft Simmons, his face full of melancholy, my sister Dina, farewell!

The sound of water in the bathroom indicates that the C+-level Lan Fei is still taking a bath; There was a faint fragrance in the guest room, I don't know if the waiter at the Venetian Hotel sprayed perfume in the room, or Lan Fei sprayed perfume on his clothes, anyway, Wang Jun felt that his nose was itchy.

His eyes are full of modern atmosphere, and after more than a year of mixing in the Spartan world, Wang Jun almost forgot that there was a girl with a surname waiting for him in the hotel before the crossing; Turning over and getting up lightly, Wang Jun took off only one trouser and put away all the items that did not belong to this era.

Wang Jun, who bid farewell to his virgin status in the Spartan world, naturally will not appear as a hungry first brother again, and the Spartan girl Dina is definitely the best woman; Like someone who owns a Ferrari sports car and gets a Porsche, they may like it, but they are never ecstatic.

To go up or not to go?

Although not as hungry and tangled as last time, the problem is still there.

When Lan Fei came out wrapped in a bath towel, she was stunned to find that Wang Jun, who had taken off only his pants before, had already dressed neatly and ran to the terrace to smoke; Lan Fei, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, doesn't quite understand, does he still want to continue gambling? Still don't look down on yourself?

Thinking of Wang Jun's unbearable teasing before he entered the bathroom, Lan Fei denied the possibility of not looking down on herself.

Do you want to do so much?

Anyway, this man with super good luck has already given a lot of money, and it doesn't matter if he can't get on himself; Besides, after gambling all night, she was already a little tired, but after the surname subsided, Lan Fei's sleepiness immediately came up.

"Go get busy, I want to sleep." Lan Fei greeted Wang Jun, a "local tyrant", with a smile, revealing the chest of C+, which was half of the bath towel, swaying up and down for a while; People give so many tips, whether they look down on themselves or not, they still have to be polite.

"Sleep! I went out for a walk. ”

After pondering for a while, Wang Jun decided to go out for a walk.

Go buy some gifts for your mother, well, and make a few decent outfits yourself; In these years, people are very realistic, they are too poorly dressed, and in some places even the waiters don't like to take care of you.

"Hmm!" Lan Fei didn't care, she got into the quilt by herself, and she was in a good mood, and she quickly fell asleep.

There are a lot of shopping places in the Venetian Hotel, and Wang Jun doesn't have to go far.

The design of this hotel still took a lot of thought, and a large number of blue sky and white clouds sprayed cloth were arranged on the corridor dome, with lighting, if you don't look closely, you will really think that it is on the outdoor street.

Now when someone sees Wang Jun, they must think that he is shopping with a woman, because the merchant is full of shopping bags.

Wang Jun doesn't have any brand-name clothes, and his mother wears them plainly, and now that he has money in his pocket, it's normal to make a big purchase.

I bought several sets of clothes for my mother, all of them were Boots, and I chose some of them in light colors; When his mother is old, she doesn't like to wear bright colors, which Wang Jun knows very well; As for the price of clothes, of course, Wang Jun must say that if he buys it for 7,000 Hong Kong dollars, he can only say 350, and if it is expensive, his mother will feel distressed. Wang Jun doesn't like shopping very much, and since he has entered the Boots store, he also bought some socks and shoes for his mother; The clerk thought that the young man from the mainland was buying a gift for his girlfriend, but later found out that it was not the case, this young man in ordinary clothes was buying it for his mother, and he bought it...... A bit much.

8 pairs of shoes, 8 sets of summer clothes, and 16 pairs of socks were all gifts for my mother, and the waiters in the store looked at Wang Jun's eyes and became hot; Well, don't get me wrong, this clerk is all at the level of an aunt, and I don't have any other ideas, I just think it's actually good for this young man to be a son-in-law......

Finally, Wang Jun also entered a jewelry store and bought a jade bracelet; When my father was alive, my mother kept talking about buying one, but she never mentioned it again; After Wang Jun worked, he planned to buy one for his mother, but it turned out that the cheap one was not right, and the good-looking one was so expensive that it scared people to death, of course, Wang Jun only had an income of a little more than 1,000 yuan at that time.

Where Macau is bigger, countless people pour in all day long, and it seems that Macau doesn't cost money to buy things; On the streets, in casinos, and in shopping malls, there are all people, and in full view, Wang Jun can't put so many things into the space ring, so he can only carry them in large bags and small bags.

Well, here's a Zegna store?

In the past, the brand that could only be yy is now just a very common thing for Wang Jun, and he purchased it for his mother, and he also ordered it himself.

Macau has a characteristic, as long as you speak Mandarin, no matter how well or poorly dressed, you are all mainlanders, which seems to be a kind of discrimination, right? However, there are a lot of high rollers from the mainland, which makes Macau businesses prefer Mandarin speakers.

Under normal circumstances, if Wang Jun walked into the Zegna stores in cities such as S Sea and S Zhen with a bargain, it is estimated that no one will take care of it; But the shopping guide in the Zegna specialty store in the Venetian is very polite, I don't know if there are too many high-rollers from the mainland, or if Macau is the common owner who spends money after winning.

For his own clothes, Wang Jun was reluctant to buy more; There is a change of washing, this is Wang Jun's point of view, give himself a whole cabinet of leather shoes or something, this is not his style; The shopping guide enthusiastically reminded him that Zegna products can be customized, Wang Jun decisively refused, and the customized products are more expensive on the basis of the already high price; Of course, for Wang Jun, this is not a problem of money, but too troublesome, as long as it is ready-made, how convenient it is to buy it and leave!!

Boots, socks, belts, short-sleeved shirts, slacks, 2 pieces of each, wallets, briefcases, handkerchiefs, 1 piece of each, it's summer now, autumn and winter clothes later; Just like that, plus the things I bought for my mother before, more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars are gone, if Wang Jun customizes a set of Zegna's suit, if it is better, it will cost about 300,000 yuan; In the previous state of Wang Jun's [***] silk's life, it would not cost him to die, but now the casino is so enthusiastic about "supporting" Wang Jun, not spending a little, I'm really sorry for myself.

On the way back, Wang Jun bought three more watches; It's just three small boxes, which together are twice as expensive as all the clothes I bought before.

On the pedestrian shopping street of the Venetian Hotel, Wang Jun is like a "porter", carrying a lot of things, which attracts the attention of many men; The brand LG on the shopping bag indicates that the product has just spent a lot of money, and it is estimated that it is a lucky person who made a small fortune in the casino; However, there are few envious people, and most sympathizers are sympathetic, and many people still observe Wang Jun's surroundings to see what the woman who "tortures" Wang Jun looks like like this.

For all men, it is an absolute nightmare to go on a shopping spree with a woman!

And Wang Jun is like this now, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like a poor bastard in the middle of a nightmare.

Back in the room, Lan Fei was sleeping on Zhengxiang, the quilt slipped to her waist, and her fair and plump upper body was exposed to the air; Wang Jun glanced at it a few times and expressed his high appreciation for C+.

Wang Jun returned to the room, not to have a super friendship and in-depth exchange with Lan Fei, but just to have a hidden place to put away this large pile of purchased things; The Venetian Hotel is full of cameras, and Mr. Wang doesn't want to be filmed of a large chunk of his stuff suddenly disappearing.
