Section 740 Central Asia and India (1)
In Weiyang Palace, Qingliang Palace.
Liu Che looked at the fold handed by Da Honglu and scratched his head.
"Great Qin ......" rang for a long time, and Liu Che remembered that he seemed to have picked up a messenger from Rome.
However, this Roman envoy, he has only been paying attention to it for a while.
After that, he was left to Confucianism and left to fend for himself.
After all, the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire, no matter how powerful and domineering Mussolini and Hitler bragged, it was also a country tens of thousands of miles away from China, and it was probably unlikely that there would be any intersection before there was no steam train.
At this moment, Rome's significance to the Han dynasty was just a slanted market for silk and spices.
And more importantly, the amount of silk and spices produced by the Han Dynasty that can really flow to Rome is probably pitiful, and most of the profits are taken up by the Huns and Persians.
The Han family is just a wage earner who has earned a few hard-earned money.
Therefore, Liu Che was fresh for a while, and then forgot about this matter with this person.
But now, this envoy from Rome suddenly found Da Honglu and handed over a request for Hajj, claiming that the news and intelligence of the poison had to be reported to Liu Che in person.
"Indian ......" Liu Che knocked on the countertop of the case.
"It is indeed possible that this person knows something about the situation in India at this time, as well as the division ......of countries, tribes, and forces in Central Asia and West Asia," Liu Che thought in his heart.
After all, hundreds of years ago, Alexander the Great went on a crusade to the east. It conquered the vast expanses of Central and West Asia and built a vast empire across Europe and Asia. 、
Although this hung up quickly. The empire he had built dissolved.
But if Liu Che is not mistaken, Alexander's empire after the disintegration. For a long time, it still had a profound impact on the regions he conquered.
There were now many Hellenistic kingdoms and city-states in Central and West Asia and even in part of India.
Indeed, a Roman emissary, who had crossed the sea from Europe, ought to know the truth of these kingdoms and city-states, though his information may have been outdated, and perhaps some of them had now perished.
But at the very least, this is first-hand.
"It's just that he didn't say it before. Now he suddenly jumped out and said......" Liu Che was suspicious in his heart.
The people of the European continent, Liu Che couldn't be clearer.
Even after 2,000 years, when these scum ties, suits, and a contract spirit, they are notoriously dead and don't pay for their lives.
Its integrity value is almost comparable to Maozi.
As for the integrity of the present Roman Republic, or the credibility of the Roman aristocracy......
The corpses of Carthage, Persia and Greece are proof of this......
"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!" Liu Che knocked on the fold and sneered twice.
But. It doesn't hurt to see it.
It doesn't matter if the person is pure to deceive.
Because, when a person tells a lie, he will always involuntarily tell some truth.
It's like when you play Werewolf Kill, even the strongest Werewolf player. When he jumps, he always shows his wolf tail.
Now, what Liu Che lacks most is intelligence and information from distant and foreign lands.
Liu Che didn't even know it at all now. At present, the power of the Yueshi people has swelled to what extent, and it has evolved into the Kushan Dynasty that dominates Central Asia. How much longer?
That's right, after cleaning up the Huns. The Yueshi people, or the Kushan Dynasty established by the Yueshi people, were the biggest enemies of the Han family.
"Let Da Honglu bring someone to see me......" Liu Che said to Wang Dao beside him.
Half an hour later, Curitios, dressed in a Confucian robe, and now a Roman envoy named Zhao Qin in Han, was brought to Liu Che.
"Foreign Minister Zhao Qin, meet His Majesty the Honored Emperor......" Curitios trembled, lying in the hall, learning the etiquette of the Han Dynasty that he had learned, and bowed his head.
At this moment, Curitios naturally already knows what a powerful king China or the emperor of the Han Dynasty is.
His authority, covering almost the entire East.
And his sacredness is like a god, and it cannot be desecrated.
Like the gods of Roman mythology, he possessed incredible abilities.
At this time, Rome was deeply influenced by Greek culture.
The degree of feudal superstition is even more serious than that of China.
Faced with such an earthly god king, the god of all gods, Curitios only felt that his calves were cramping.
And when he was afraid, he also had some pride and pride in his heart, and even had a feeling: I am so honored to be received by this great god emperor several times and listen to the hadith.........
"The envoy is in my country, can you still get used to it?" Liu Che smiled slightly and asked the envoy from Rome gently.
"Thank you for your warm hospitality, and one day, when you return to your country, you will tell all the people of your majesty's friendship and kindness, especially the Senate......," Curitios replied humbly.
"That's good!" Liu Che nodded, and then asked, "I heard that the envoy has news and intelligence about his own poison, and he wants to report it to me?" ”
"Yes, your honorable majesty......" Curitios replied, lying on the ground, with a preconceived statement, "Thanks to the care of Your Majesty and your country, the foreign minister has nothing to repay, and the foreign minister has heard that His Majesty is very interested in the poison of the body, that is, the India that our country is talking about, so the foreign minister wants to use the news and information of the poison as a reward for the preferential treatment of your majesty and your country......"
"Hmm......" Liu Che smiled and nodded, then stood up, looked at this guy, and asked coldly: "Then how did I hear that in that poisonous country, there is currently a kingdom that has a very deep relationship with the envoy's Great Qin?" Can it be said that they come from the same source? ”
In a broad sense, the so-called Greco-Athenian city-states, as well as Carthage, Rome, and Macedonia, should be regarded as a cultural community at this time.
Their religion and culture are highly similar as well as ******** and even ethnicity.
This is also the way the Romans were able to rule over the continent. For the sake of the unification of the European continent for a time.
However, the Romans obviously did not have the tradition of great unification and the high degree of cultural centripetal force and cohesion like China.
Or rather. Rome once had such a cultural centripetal force and cohesion.
But the growth and strength of the Church of the Friends of the Church ruined all this.
So. The European continent of later generations can only be described as a plate of loose sand, even if it is barely pinched together by interests and slogans, Ou Meng was established, but, in fact, Ou Meng may not be as good as its predecessor, the loose European Community!
But Liu Che didn't bother to think about this problem.
The barbarians of the continent are dead or alive. It has nothing to do with China, with the Han people, and with the Zhuxia people.
Liu Che now wants to know only one thing -- what is the current situation in India? How much has the power of the Yueshi people in Central Asia swelled?
When Curitios heard this, he was shocked.
Fear in my heart. There are no words to describe it.
The Kingdom of Bactria of the Greeks did have a very deep connection and relationship with his native Rome.
But in this far eastern world. There are very few outsiders who know and know this.
"This god king of the Han Dynasty really has the power of a god......" thought to himself. Curitios then bowed respectfully, and then said, "Returning to the Great Majesty." That's really the ......"
"But ......," Curitios said, looking up and adoring, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything. The poisonous kingdom of Bactria was founded by the Greek-Macedonians, and although our country is culturally and religiously similar to these two, in the final analysis, both the Greeks and the Macedonians are potential enemies of our country......"
Where did the hegemony of Rome come from?
Didn't you snatch it from the Greek-Macedonians?
Whether it is the Mediterranean or Asia Minor, the previous overlords of these places were all Greco-Macedonians.
Rome snatched it from both through war.
"Greece-Macedonia?" Liu Che looked at Curitios and said coldly: "I have heard that in these two countries, there were once great sages like Aristotle, Plato and Archimedes, and their ideas and books can be regarded as doctors even in China......
"But it's a pity, it seems that these great sages have passed away...... Liu Che smashed his mouth and shook his head, looking very regretful.
But Curitios was scared half to death!
Aristotle, Plato, and Archimedes, the names of the great minds of Greece, never reached the East.
Even in the kingdom of Bactria today, there are only a handful of people who know and know the thoughts and achievements of these people.
In other words, these names should not have traveled tens of thousands of miles to this distant eastern world.
Where did this Chinese emperor learn about it?
There can only be one explanation!
The god-king, upon hearing the name of Greece-Macedonia, immediately came to his heart with these messages.
What a terrible and great living god this is.
Demigods such as Achilles described in Homer's epic poems are undoubtedly the gap between heaven and earth compared to him.
However, why did this god-king only mention Aristotle and others, and completely ignore the Roman Republic?
Don't......
"Only a great sage like Aristotle is qualified to be known to him...... Curitios thought bitterly to himself.
But I also have to admit that the Roman Republic, in terms of culture and art, was thrown into the ditch by the Greek intellectual circles and artists led by Aristotle, Plato and others.
Because of this, Rome was unreservedly receptive to Greek culture, thought, religion, and art.
Liu Che pondered for a moment, and then said, "I seem to have heard that the great sage named Archimedes was killed by the soldiers of your country?" ”
He shook his head and said to Curitios: "How can your country be like this? If there is a wise man in the wilderness, how can he add it with a sword? We should respectfully use etiquette to invite such great sages to the temple to discuss and discuss national policies, so that their wisdom can benefit the people......"
Curitios, however, was already swinging all over his body.
Death of Archimedes......
Well, this is something that the Romans themselves regretted.
When Curitios was in Rome in the past, he also scolded the generals and soldiers who invaded Syracuse.
Throughout the Hellenistic cultural circle, it was often used to ridicule the Romans for their vulgarity and disrespect for scholars.
Now, this scandal has even been known to the god-king of the kingdom of the East......
As far as Curitios knew, the emperor of this eastern empire had greater power and authority than the emperor of the empire of Europe.
However, since ancient times, this country has had a tradition of giving preferential treatment to literati, scholars, and artists.
A great sage like Archimedes will definitely be respected and loved by the whole country in this country.
As for a figure like Socrates, if he had been born in this country, I am afraid, he would not have been punished at all.
From the emperor to the common people, they would only respectfully worship his intellectual and artistic achievements.
If the story of these two men is known to the people of this Eastern Empire, then ......
Curitios seems to have seen the future of Roman-Greek names on the stinky streets of China.
He was well aware that in this eastern empire, the ideological circles, cultural people, and artists enjoyed a special and high social status and respect from all over the country.
Anyone who hurts and insults such a figure, even a nobleman, an emperor, will be spurned and not killed!
"Compared with such a mature empire, Rome really still has a long way to ......go," Curitios thought in his heart, and then he raised his head and looked at the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, the undoubted god-king, sitting at the top, and thought in his heart: "Perhaps, Rome should learn from this ancient empire, learn its political system and structural system......"
In the past nearly a year in China, he has heard and witnessed the powerful mobilization and national strength of this eastern country.
Such a large empire was closely united under the leadership of the Son of Heaven, the supreme Son of Heaven, with his supreme authority, who ruled and governed this empire that was even larger than Rome.
Govern the country with benevolence, reason, and compassion, not force, subterfuge, and conspiracy.
Curitios had been to the civilian area of the capital of the Han Dynasty, and after comparison, he had to admit that even the poor people living in this city were completely superior to the common people of Rome in terms of mental outlook, physical fitness and personal cultivation, and even many of them had cultural accomplishments and personal qualities comparable to those of Roman citizens and even nobles.
Therefore, it is natural for such an empire to reign over the world in which it is located, and to lead the world in which it is, and to go with the flow.
The lord of such an empire, praised and blessed by the gods, is undoubtedly and logically. (To be continued.) )
