Chapter 998: Establishment of diplomatic relations with Rome
An old man who was on the verge of death suddenly launched a decisive blow, which caught people off guard.
Perhaps, Kasegas II had a chance, but his sword, like the first and second half of his life, went from a murderous weapon to an ornament.
Cangchang~
While~
The sharp sword of Yitian cut through the jewel-studded, flashy, Guishan "king of kings" sword. The next moment, the sharp blade still had the strength to cut his facial bone along the jaw of Gasega II.
Chalcega II fell, and the emperor of the empire showed the courage he should have shown at the last moment of his life, but it was too late. And history is destined to remember this night, the most powerful "king of kings" in Central Asia, fell at the feet of Qin Feng, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire. Chalsega II completed his illustrious life, and with his death, Kushan, one of the world's three most famous empires, came to an end.
"Majesty!" The nobles' heavyweights who bowed their heads to the ground straightened their waists and exclaimed. In the past, they followed the Kasega and destroyed countless countries, and on this day, it was their turn.
The sharp Heavenly Sword landed on the shoulder of Alilaka, the Prime Minister of Kushan. This prime minister is a clever man, and he is no longer the warrior who conquered the world in the past, and his waist bent down in an instant. The rest of the noble and important ministers also trembled one by one and bowed their heads to the ground.
Qin Feng wiped the Heavenly Sword on Alilaka's gorgeous clothes, which made the prime minister's heart rise to his throat. Although the emperor of the empire died, he did not want to die. The blood in the hall was particularly dignified, and the remnants of Guishan waited in horror for their fate.
Qin Feng took the sword, he still needed these important ministers of Guishuang. to help yourself put the southern Kushan in order. Therefore, Qin Feng decided to let them go. said lightly: "Surrender or die......." ”
The relict were relieved, right next to the corpse of Gasega II. Qi shouted: "I am willing to serve the emperor and ......." ”
In this way, the highest echelons of the Kushan Empire surrendered en masse.
"I'm Almur!" However, the cries of the Kushan warriors still echoed. Until dawn, until Almur was exhausted to death by himself.
Emperor Hongwu buried this warrior.
This warrior, for his country, really fought to the last moment of his life.
In May of the sixth year of Hongwu, Qin Feng, the Hongwu Emperor of Great Qin, unified the southern part of Guishan with his own strength of 100,000 people and the Qin Association army of 200,000 people.
It once sat at the center of the world. The Kushan Empire of the Megatron World has fallen, and when the news spread, the whole world was shocked! For thousands of years, the mysterious oriental country, which has never really come out, has finally stepped out of the country. And announced in a way that shocked the world, Daqin is here.
After the city of Rome received the news, the world "overlord", the Roman emperor "Triumphant Great" Septimius. Severus, summoned a meeting of the Senate that belonged to him. At the meeting, the Triumphant Emperor believed. Establishing diplomatic relations with the rising Great Qin would be very beneficial to the Roman Empire at some point in the future.
The previous power of the Senate was able to contain the Roman emperor and end the civil war. The triumphant Emperor who conquered Great Britain and twice defeated the Sabbatarian Empire, the Senate became almost an appendage to him. So the senators of the Senate. Very much with the Triumphant Great.
So, when Emperor Hongwu stayed in Fulousha to rectify Guishan Prefecture. The Roman Empire sent the second consul of the Senate, "Aemilius", to Fulousha to meet with Emperor Hongwu.
For the first time, Emperor Hongwu met senators from the highest echelons of the Roman Empire. The old man wore a white robe trimmed with purple and red trims, decorated with a half-moon buckle, a garment that only the senators of the Senate could wear. Ordinary senators, wearing only white robes and no decorations.
Aemilius, the second consul of the Senate, conveyed the highest respect of the Roman Emperor and the Senate to Qin Feng, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, in the palace of Fulousha. And extended an olive branch and was willing to conclude equal diplomatic relations with Daqin.
The Roman Empire was very powerful, the hegemon of the world, and he looked down on all the countries around him. The countries that emerged around Rome had either been annexed by Rome or were hostile to Rome. Even Egypt, once at its peak, is now only a Roman province.
Rest now ...... in the middle of the world.
It seems that Rome needs to have a friend in the East.
And Daqin also needs to have a friend in the West.
As a result, Qin Feng and Rome signed a treaty of mutual respect, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. The treaty focused on stipulating that the Great Qin people would be treated as Roman citizens in Rome. Emperor Hongwu specifically pointed out that under no circumstances could the Great Qin people be judged to be Roman slaves.
Although Rome claimed to be "democratic", it was only democratic for citizens of Roman origin, and the foreign minority were commoners and the majority were slaves, so Rome's national policy was the exact opposite of that of Emperor Hongwu. Therefore, Rome also emphasized that only the old Qin people in the thirteen states of Great Qin could enjoy the treatment of Roman citizens.
However, Emperor Hongwu refuted Rome, and Emperor Hongwu pointed out that Northeast Prefecture, Dizhou, Qiang Prefecture, Nanban Prefecture, and Grassland Prefecture were also Old Qin people, and in his opinion, the later Chinese ethnic regions were all today's Old Qin people. Other regions are the New Qin people.
Rome, though incomprehensible, also admitted.
The two sides emphasized that the relationship between Great Qin and Rome must be higher than that of other countries.
The two sides happily signed a treaty and became a good-neighborly and friendly country.
When Vologis V of the Rest Empire received the news, he angrily recalled the envoy who was about to arrive in Furusha. In his opinion, Rome in the West and Great Qin in the East have shamelessly signed a treaty to divide the world, and despicably abandoned their empires. The ambitions of these two countries have been on full display, and the rest, which is powerful, has ruled the center of the world without fear. A strong rest will make the great rest of the gospel of the true God of rest cover the whole world.
Great Qin defeated the Kushan Empire!
When the news came back to China, the people of Daqin, the sense of superiority of the nation, and the pride of the country spontaneously rose. People set off fireworks to celebrate the victory of Daqin. Waves of people came to the square of the Forbidden City. Chanting the prestige of the Emperor.
Having defeated one of the most powerful empires in the world, the pride of the nation transcends a qiē. All ethnic groups in Daqin are united.
The merchants of Daqin, who were abroad, also stood up. There is a strong Motherland behind it. They have been respected abroad like never before.
In the western part of the Persian Gulf, there is a port that belongs to Rome and borders Sabbath.
Chen Wu, a merchant of Great Qin, brought his team to this port belonging to the Roman Empire to trade. He is in China and belongs to the first-class seller of the Daqin Royal Chamber of Commerce. He bought porcelain, silk, tea and other items from the royal chamber of commerce and sold them to distant Rome, which took a year or two to make a round trip, but he was able to earn more than ten times the profit. Huge profits are the backbone of the Silk Road. Businessmen are not afraid of hardship for the sake of profit. Trekking thousands of miles.
Chen Wu came to the port, and he traveled through the entire Sabbath, but he came to trade with the Romans. In his opinion, the most important trading partners of the Silk Road were the Romans. The rest people are too conservative, and they always engage in some kind of "Muyue", even if they are nobles, they only use utensils with strong sectarian characteristics. The Romans, on the other hand, were very open-minded, almost taboo-free, and could accept anything. And the Roman "citizens" were very rich. For example, Pubsta, who is about to meet.
Soon, Chen Wu arrived at a large ship flying the Roman flag in the harbor, which was a three-story galleon with a very Roman character, and the bow had bronze ramming horns at the bottom. It also has shark eyes and a hook on the stern, like a scorpion tail. From the sides of the hull protruded forty or fifty sticks to say less. Five or six meters long oars, the crew sits right in the middle of the cabin with a slit. Paddle. Two hundred people can row smoothly.
Chen Wu was very disdainful of Roman shipbuilding technology. Daqin had already abandoned the backward paddle and switched to the flap power of mechanical gears.
There were many sturdy young men on the deck who wore only trousers, and Chen Wu knew that these people were slaves. Because in Rome, only slaves and women wore so little. He couldn't help but recall the women of Rome, blonde, brunette, red-haired. They are different from the women of Daqin, they live a rotten life, but they are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and dare to try a qiē.
At this time, the Roman merchant Pubsta came over with a servant. This person wears the "toga", which was worn only by the ancient Romans and is the most important symbol of the nation's clothing. The material is made of a large piece of woolen fabric that is not bleached, which is rectangular in the early days and later changed to an oval shape. In the earliest days, all Roman citizens could wear toga, but in the republican period, only Roman citizens and men were allowed to wear toga.
One end hangs from the left shoulder to the ground in front of you, and the rest is draped behind you and passes under your right arm, past your chest, and over your left shoulder. It looks very elegant and solemn.
The facial features are naturally European, but the short curly hair is very distinctive, and it is decorated with gold dust, and the sideburns are very long and the beard is connected to the chin.
Pubsta wore gold rings on the ring fingers of his hands, and the Romans of this period, commoners could only wear iron rings. This shows that Pubsta has surpassed the commoners and is a nobleman. His ring has a flower on it, which is his family crest, and many times, the ring is his seal.
Pubsta was a minor nobleman in Capua, with a dozen people in his family but more than a thousand slaves. These people farmed and worked for him, and they were always ready to contribute their part to the master.
"Your Excellency Chen Wu......." Pubsta stroked his chest and saluted, and said modestly.
Chen Wu hurriedly returned the salute, "Your Excellency Honorable Pubsta......." Chen Wu was very happy, because Pubsta used to be very arrogant and would never be kind to himself. However, when the news of Great Qin's great victory came, everything changed. Even Rome, the world's most powerful country, had to face up to Great Qin, because Great Qin was a powerful country with the power to destroy an empire.
And Chen Wu of the Han nationality is an old Qin person, and he automatically has the status of a Roman citizen in Rome. The Romans were divided into citizens, commoners, and slaves. Only pure-blooded Roman adult men could become citizens, with political and economic privileges.
"I have brought you fine glasswork, spices, and other goods ...... you," said Pubsta. ”
The two sides made a deal and it was very pleasant.
In the end, Pubsta couldn't help but say: "Congratulations to Your Excellency on a great victory for the great empire, the Kushan of Central Asia is just a clown, and the rest of West Asia is a stubborn country. He fanned the air in front of him, "The goods produced in their country, both in appearance and in practical terms, are lifeless and smelly of rancidity. And in this world, only the great and open Rome and Great Qin can produce a shrewd and pleasing ...... goods. May our friendship endure...... ”
Chen Wu was very proud in his heart, and he knew deeply that it was the prosperity of the country under the leadership of Emperor Hongwu that led to this. He was about to say something when he saw a group of cloaked guards, with four handcuffed and shackled men and hooded men on board. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Excellency has bought a new slave ......." ”
"Huh!" However, Chen Wu then took a look, because he found that the four men were wearing Han Chinese costumes. There are Confucian shirts, green robes, hands over the knees, and five strands of long hair ....... (To be continued......)
