Chapter 5: Hermes-Epitek Survives

The words of the light curtain also said that everyone in the hall was enthusiastic.

As far as the world can see, only Han and Da Qin Er!

Zhang Fei was even more itchy:

"This rest is really a good dog! In the past, there were lies to deceive the Han envoys, and then there were people who took the initiative to cut down people's subordinates. ”

"What Master Pang said is really right! This rest is afraid that the Great Han and the Great Qin will join forces! ”

Kong Ming looked at Liu Bei's gloomy expression and understood very well: Great Qin has the disaster of resting, why is this not the case with Great Han?

Then he comforted:

"The light curtain has already said, the rest of the country is about to die, it seems that Great Qin must have survived this catastrophe."

"And since the envoy of Weizong is true, then after the lord revives the Han Dynasty, he can send an envoy to visit the west."

Liu Bei could only lift his spirits and said with a forced smile:

"Daqin has external enemies, and our Han has internal troubles, but we are in trouble together."

[Because of the war between Rome and Sabbatio, the land route was cut off, so the mission could only go by sea. 】

It was still the same picture on the light curtain, and everyone watched as a point appeared on Daqin's side, and then swayed on the sea, heading towards the east.

[Moreover, the Kushan Empire to the west of the Han Dynasty was in an alliance with Anxi at that time, so the Silk Road completely blocked the Roman mission.

In 165 AD, the Roman mission departed from the Red Sea and crossed the Arabian Sea to India, where it was repaired.

In the summer of the following year, when the southwest monsoon in the Indian Ocean began, the Roman envoys set sail again, crossed the Strait of Malacca, and traveled north along the Indochina Peninsula to reach Ninanjun, which was also the route taken by Qin Lun.

After entering the Han realm, it was also smooth sailing, and he was received by Liu Zhi, the emperor of Han Huan, in Luoyang, and presented his own gifts.

At that time, there was Rinan County in the Han Dynasty, and at that time, wild animals were overflowing, and rhino horns, ivory, tortoiseshells, and other things were not rare, so it was understandable that scholars and doctors at that time doubted the authenticity of this mission.

But judging from Western historical sources, although Marcus Aurelius was an emperor, he was also a philosopher.

"A happy life does not need material things" is the famous saying left by the emperor, valuing thought over materialism, and abandoning enjoyment to perfect the soul.

So the Roman mission couldn't help it: the emperor didn't approve that much funding at all. 】

"Treat money like dung!" Zhang Fei understood.

"It's a gentleman of sincerity." Kong Ming appreciated it very much, especially when he contacted Emperor Huan again, and appreciated it even more:

"Nine years of Yanxi, this is the beginning of the disaster of the party!"

Liu Bei's face was also stinky, and he remembered Kong Ming's evaluation of the teacher's table:

"I didn't sigh at Huan and Lingye."

Especially at this time, compared with Daqin: although I don't know what philosophy is, it sounds like a good word!

And everyone is thinking about it, and it is still appreciated when it is mentioned after a thousand years, Emperor Huan, you have to stand up!

Mi Zhu didn't care much, and this sea route seemed so charming to him!

"Monsoon's saying should be the same thing as the hyacinth that the seafarer said, and it must be written down."

The desire to go through this route is becoming more and more urgent.

Ma Liang commented while copying:

"This emperor's opinion is similar to the prime minister's indifference and Mingzhi."

It's a pity to say that Ma Liang:

"If this mission comes to visit now, it will definitely be able to have a good conversation with the military advisor!"

Pang Tong scoffed: "Such an assertion is required by oneself, how can there be an embassy who is indifferent!" ”

[But as the so-called previous barrage said, the charm of history lies in its unpredictability.

In 166, the Romans invaded Sabbath and burned Ctesiphon, the capital of Sabbat, but by this time Roman soldiers contracted smallpox.

This highly contagious disease broke out within the Roman legions, and the morale of the Romans was reduced by 1,000 and they had to retreat.

The spread of smallpox caused panic in Rome, and in the same year, the Germanic tribes of the north began to raid the country.

Fourteen years later, Aurelius, who had been fighting frequently, died of plague, and the period of the Five Sages of Rome ended, and the period of thirty tyrants began.

Four years after Aurelius died of illness, a person in the far east shouted "The sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand", which sounded the death knell for the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the troubled era of the Three Kingdoms officially began.

At about the same time, the two great empires of the East and the West in the world fell into internal and external troubles, and the only exchange between the Han and Rome came to an abrupt end. 】

Everyone sighed, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

In this way, it seems that this Rome is so similar to the Great Han, with the same timing of civil strife, the same northern threat, the same curiosity about distant empires, and the same ill-intentioned neighbors.

Even the end of the Great Rule in the history of the country is almost the same, only...

"Thirty tyrants?" Zhang Fei smacked his tongue, if he understood correctly, this meant that the thirty emperors did not ascend the throne by normal means.

"Can you still not die?" Zhang Fei felt incomprehensible.

"Or is it because ......" Kong Ming accurately thought of what the light curtain had inadvertently mentioned before: "Senate? ”

The decree prohibiting men from wearing silk came from the senate, not from the emperor or ministers, and it seems that the Roman bureaucracy was very different from that of the Han dynasty.

As for the Yellow Turban Rebellion or something, the big guys are too clear, they are basically witnesses, what is there to say?

Civil officials such as Ma Liang Kong Ming, etc., can talk about the disaster of the party, and can talk about the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, and Liu Guanzhang and the three of them fought in person in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

On the contrary, Guan Yu noticed another thing: "Smallpox, what kind of epidemic is it?" ”

"This kingdom of rest is broken! The merit of destroying the country is close at hand, and it can make the morale of the generals collapse to this point, what kind of epidemic can it reach?! ”

The short number made Guan Yu's back a little chilly.

As a general, he was never afraid of the enemy's sophisticated weapons, nor did he complain about the dangerous fortresses that his opponents relied on.

But how to face such a fierce epidemic? How to prepare?

Guan Yu was a little confused for a while.

Kong Ming was relieved: "General Guan, don't worry, since it can be transmitted quickly, the illness must not be death." ”

Guan Yu calmed down a little, just now he had the impulse to drag the juniors of the later generations over for the first time since he saw the light curtain:

Let's talk about this terrible epidemic that can make an empire as powerful as a Han man fear, what does it look like?

Zhao Yun also analyzed:

"If they are infected and die, they will dig pits and burn the dead bodies, and dig wells without water, and build camps in the wilderness, and the plague will disappear after twenty days."

"This smallpox, or maybe there's something else weird."

"And ......" Pang Tong was also a little worried: "Since the silk silk cloth of the Han Dynasty can be transmitted to Daqin, then the smallpox of Daqin can naturally be transmitted to Dahan." ”

Everyone was shocked for a while.

Pang Tong remembered a more distant one: "I looked at the text record of the light curtain before, and it was also said that when General Guan was defeated, the monarch of Rome ......"

Thinking of the long list of titles of the Roman emperor, everyone's faces turned a little pale.

"The country is in turmoil so far, could it be that smallpox is still raging?"

Kong Ming shook his head and made a decision: "When today's matter is over, I will go and consult Doctor Zhang, Doctor Zhang is good at this, or has other sayings." ”

The matter will be pressed for the time being.

[The topic turned back to the prime minister's strategy in the south. 】

"Huh?" Zhang Fei didn't react for a while, only watched the map across the Han and Rome in the light curtain shrink rapidly, and re-freeze in the "small" south-central place.

[In the face of the wealthy family and the Yi people of Nanzhong, the prime minister can only use the ancient body poison to unite most of them.

But he did not give up on the oppressed Yi people, and even exhausted his ability.

Let me turn the hour hand 1,600 years later.

At that time, China was suffering from internal and external troubles, and in the south at that time, Burma was colonized by the British, and the British occupying Burma were still not satisfied, and they set their sights on two mines on the land of the Wa people.

Here in Banhong, there is a very high silver mine, which the British covet very much, and in order to seize this silver mine, the British tried to buy it unsuccessfully.

The British, who had touched the gray nose, were furious and quickly made a decision: take it by force!

In the 34th year of the 20th century, the British colonists gathered 2,000 people to forcibly occupy and forcibly exploit silver mines.

The silver mines are rich, and the British have also made a good calculation, and a little profit from the silver mines should be able to buy these ignorant natives, right?

To this, Ban Hong Wang and Ban Lao Wang's answer is: We are Chinese!

King Banhong was even more stern: "We are the descendants of Kong Ming, the subjects of the Celestial Empire, our motherland is China, we do not want to be slaves of the country, just like Burma died to Britain." ”】

"Good man!"

Zhang Fei slapped Zhao Yun's thigh and praised:

"What a bunch of good guys! Strategist, your species are all good!! ”

Kong Ming: "? ”

Liu Bei contacted the time and roughly understood:

"At this time...... Life in China is not easy......"

"It's not a good time, it seems that in a few years, that widow is about to show his fangs!" Guan Yu roared angrily.

The crowd was excited, only Kong Ming sat there calmly and thoughtfully, and he remembered a word he had written for the light curtain jokingly.

[In the face of the British's forcible occupation of mine land, King Ban Hong gathered 17 Wa chieftains, swore to resist the British, made an oath together, and issued the very famous "Letter of the Seventeenth King of Wa to the Motherland".

In the declaration, the Wa compatriots said very simply, but very moving, they claimed that they were not very good at speaking Chinese, but fifty generations of people obeyed the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was good to the Wa people, and the Wa people could not betray the Han Dynasty!

The land and mines belong to the Han Dynasty, and we cannot live up to the will of our ancestors!

In the face of compatriots who regarded death as home, the people at that time were filled with righteous indignation and generously donated money to help resist the British.

On 30 May, the Wa, armed with primitive weapons, launched an attack on the British, and after fierce fighting until 6 June, the British were forced to retreat to Burma.

And the ancestor mentioned by the Wa compatriots here is Zhuge Liang.

They believe in their ancestors, and they also believe in a grandfather and a grandfather, this is Zhuge Liang.

In the legends of their generations, Zhuge Liang made an agreement with their ancestors:

Zhuge Liang helped them live, and in return, they were willing to guard the southern gate of Han for the prime minister.

For about 1,700 years, the world has been changing, but in this small land, the Han Dynasty will not die, and the Han people will still exist! 】

Zhang Fei was already excited and didn't know what to say, so he slapped his thigh again, but the shot was empty.

So he had to rush to Kong Ming, lifted Kong Ming up and turned around twice, and shouted:

"Strategist, I've always been convinced of you, but today I found out that I'm still underestimating Lao Zhang!"

In a whirlwind, Kong Ming remembered the sentence he wrote with a playful mentality:

Glory belongs to the people.

I am grateful for everyone's support, but I am also ashamed that yesterday's update was not good.

After finishing his work on Thursday night, the writer's assistant recorded and wrote 8,000 words in one night, but in fact it was deleted, deleted, and modified, and there were less than 3,000 words.

Then I slept in the storage room for an hour during the day and got up to work, and at night I wanted to write 4,000, but then I found that my brain was completely stiff, and I entered 4,000 again, and only 2,000 after deletion.

Anyway, I'm sorry everyone, I owe two thousand yesterday, and I'll make up for it later.

I will also try to do the addition of tips and monthly passes.

Anyway, thank you.
