Sweep the World

The diplomatic relations of each country are basically just out of need. They can come together because they have the same interests, or they can become belligerents because of conflicts of interests. At one moment, they are still fighting for life, and the next may be due to some reasons. Become friendly again, so what the relationship should be depends on actual needs.

The Kingdom of Han is far in the east of the world. Under the repeated battles of the ancestors of Zhu Xia, the surrounding countries will either perish or become dependent countries. The only long-term threat is the northern grasslands. This kind of environment actually made Zhu Xia's dynasty feel arrogant. If it weren't for the threat on the grassland, every dynasty would have liked to shout "I am invincible".

The Persians successively established many empire-level countries. Their geographic location determined one thing. Once the Persians stabilized internally, they would expand outward. The deserts in the east were not the first choice for Persians to expand. There is a sea (Mediterranean sea), but that sea does not appear to be dangerous. The west has become the expansion direction of the Persians in the past. It was blocked by the Greeks before and encountered the Romans who were more difficult to deal with.

Rome emerged from the Italian peninsula and expanded rapidly during the era of the Big Three. Until the first century AD, it had turned the Mediterranean into the inner sea belonging to the Roman Empire. In addition to the eastern part of modern Germany, it also faced Europa to the west. Part of it is actually already under Roman rule.

The Central Plains Dynasty did not actually seek outward expansion.

Zhu Xia repeatedly conquered the grassland because the grassland could not be farmed and did not know how to manage it, so he conquered and gave up again and again.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the Han people marched to the northeast, encountering an icy land. If they were unable to survive, they would not be able to be included in the territory. To the greatest extent, they could only maintain the Yandi in the pre-Qin period.

During Liu Che's reign, he expanded southward to the coast, facing the sea, and had no idea of ​​going out to explore the sea at all.

In the Li Tang period, the way to the west was first blocked by the plateau, and from the Western Regions to the west, it faced the Gobi and the desert.

From the beginning of the emperor to the southwest, he has expanded to a large extent, but in a long history, he has nothing to do with the virgin forest. The only thing is that the alien races in this area are relatively moderate, so that the ruling power can be maintained and transitioned to modern times.

If you check the geographical distribution of Asia, you will definitely find that the area that can be farmed in ancient times was actually almost occupied by the Han people. There was no further expansion. First, because of not persisting, explore a little further, and then because of the occupation. The problem.

In the east of the world, the only rivals of the nomads are the grassland nomads, and the rest are actually not enemies of the First World War. The Central Plains Dynasty only needs to be alert to threats from the grasslands. As a result, in addition to the northern borders of the Dynasty, other regions can actually be said. It is very peaceful. Under normal circumstances, except for the sense of crisis in the northern frontier, the rest of the region is always singing and dancing. The result is that the dynasty is either destroyed by the grassland nomads, or after a certain degree of development, internal conflicts will always erupt and die.

In contrast, the Romans at the westernmost point of the world island rarely lived in peace. They ruled a huge and vast territory with a very small population. There were still barbarians who resisted in some conquered areas, and there were Germanic people in Eastern Europe. The Goths have been invading Western Europe in the Roman Europa part, while Southern Europe is engaged in endless entanglements and battles with the Persians.

Of course, Rome has its own civil strife. Every time a certain nobleman has grown to a certain extent and wiped out the previous generation of Roman ruling families, but the ruling family has not changed its country name, and each time it can inherit all the rule of Roman territory. right. This kind of inheritance has never been low. The ruling family nominally ruled the entire Rome, but in fact, the provinces or the local nobles had the final say, and there were two "four emperors co-ruling", and then it was simply split. Become two parts of Western Rome and Eastern Rome.

The Han country under Liu Yan’s rule actually faced the same problems as the past dynasties, such as the plateau climate problem to the west. How to manage the grassland to the north is a big problem, and to the southwest is to face the endless primitive jungle. To the northeast is the extreme cold that cannot be ignored, and from the Western Regions to the west, it is necessary to face the desert.

"Fortunately, the king advocates the development of navigation." Lu Yi has reason to say this, or he, a pianist, will be in an awkward situation of doing nothing for a long time: "As the king said, the sea is a treasure house!"

Han has not been operating the ocean for a long time, but the benefits it has obtained are infinite. The continuous acquisition of seafood is only one aspect. The discovery and occupation of ocean islands has already produced benefits, not to mention the real "world" because of navigation. ", know how big the world is.

Today, Lu Yi is responsible for introducing the Persian Sassanian envoy into Miyagi to meet him. He does not need to be with the Persian Sassanian envoy all the time. After entering Miyagi, he will sit in the side hall and drink tea with Liu Yan. Naturally, there will be people. To teach and remind the Persian audience process.

At this moment, Kianush Alta Aldahir and other Persians are in the front part of the palace, and the person who taught them the process of meeting is Cui Zong.

In Zhuxia, there is a very rigorous process for visiting the emperor, especially for foreign envoys.

What must be said is that the minister of the emperor does not need to be a kowtow all the time nowadays. It only needs to bow down on some special occasions, and bow and bow on other occasions.

"No, no, no, I am a member of the royal family, and it is absolutely impossible to bow down to your emperor." Kiyanush Alta Aldahir's reaction was a bit big, and his face was refusing, and at the same time he made a statement of reluctance. : "You can't have this kind of rude request!"

After hearing the translation, Cui Zong stared at Kianusz Alta Ardashir strangely, and saw that Kianusz Alta Ardashir himself showed an inexplicable expression before saying: " Your emperor is the emperor, our emperor is not the emperor?"

Kiyanus Alta Aldashir was stunned after listening to those somewhat aggressive translators. He really didn’t know which one was the emperor or the emperor. According to the common customs of the world, it’s not a shame to surrender to the emperor. On the contrary, showing respect to the emperor of another country is equivalent to respecting the emperor of his own country.

So far, any foreign race who is meeting the ruler of the Central Plains dynasty needs to bow down. This is a kind of pride brought by the long-term absolute hegemony of the Zhuxia Miao. It shows that the white point is that the foreign race is born inferior to itself. Until the Five Husbands, the Miao Yi of all summers was indeed qualified to be proud, followed by Yang Sui and Li Tang also qualified, and the subsequent dynasties were also qualified by the Zhu Ming generation.

"We are here with friendship..." Kiyanush Alta Aldahir actually hesitated: "Before the formal alliance, I only bow down to the emperor of my country."

Cui Zong asked strangely: "Do you really want to form an alliance?"

Kiyanush Alta Aldahir, of course, hopes to be able to successfully form an alliance with the Han Kingdom. After hearing Cui Zong's inspiring words, he hesitated and spit out the word "Okay."

In fact, Lu Yi confessed that Cui Zong must be done. It is really out of the process of seeing him. It is not out of pride and complacency. It is fundamentally different from the later generations of wild boar skin that must require foreigners to kneel and worship when they see the emperor. One is to continue Zhu Xia. The "li", another is more of trying to get back some face after being repeatedly taught.

Yiying’s interview process had been taught before, and Cui Zong was just making the final confirmation. Not only was it the Persian, but in fact, it was the same for any envoy, including Rome.

When the Persians were ready, Cui Zong led them out of the room. They walked around the complicated indoor corridors for a while, but they were empty when they went out.

The open area is a square. The ground that was supposed to be made of bricks has long been damaged and has not been maintained. It has become potholes. The back is filled with soil for leveling. It is possible to see the other than the bricks. Repairing pits everywhere, there is no magnificence that the Shangguo dynasty should have.

There are guards standing guard on the square. On both sides of the walkway in the middle, there are guards standing every three meters, extending to the front of the palace group. The rest are also standing guard sergeants.

Kianusz Alta Aldahir can see the palaces in the distance in the distance. At first glance, it is actually a bit dumbfounded, just because the palaces look broken and collapsed, so I won’t say anything. , Most of the roofs that have not collapsed are lacking in tiles, and only a few of them seem to have been repaired.

"If you haven't seen the prosperity of Jiankang, I really doubt what kind of country we have come to." Egutai Bachram suppressed his voice very low: "The emperor of the Han is willing to live in such a dilapidated palace. , Enough to prove that he is a great person."

Kiyanus Alta Aldahir had no words to refute. The ruler of any country would never wronged him. Which ruler would not try to build a magnificent residence as long as he had some conditions? Anyone who is willing to wrong their own rule will subconsciously think that he is a person with extraordinary ambitions.

Miyagi looked very dilapidated, but the sergeant standing guard showed another side. Every sergeant was gorgeous and practical.

"At least it proves that the emperor of the Han people is very frugal in treating himself." Kianush Alta Aldahir said that Liu Yan was willing to live in the ruined palace but tried his best to treat his army: "They seem to be also Don't care if we see the run-down side?"

They came by sea and saw Malacca, which was developing and constructing vigorously. After landing, they first entered the prosperous city, but on the way to Chang'an, they could see the scene after the war with their own eyes.

"It's our reception envoy..." Egutai Bachram shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It must be the most prosperous route, even if it is pretending, it will pretend to be the most beautiful."

So, it’s not just that Zhuxia has good face, any civilization will have good face.

"Did you find it?" Kiyanush Alta Aldashir deliberately motioned to Egutai Bachram to look at the sergeants: "The soldiers of the Han must have been strictly selected."

They have already seen the field army of the Han country in the Pingman Captain's Department. The height of the soldiers of the Han sergeant will generally be more than 1.6 meters, and there is no shortage of soldiers with a height of more than 1.8 meters. They originally thought that the Han people were all tall people, but after landing, they found that it was not like that. Yu Jiankang often saw people who were less than 1.6 meters tall.

In fact, the height of Zhu Xia Miao Yi depends on the region. Northerners are taller, while Southerners are relatively short. To put it bluntly, it is not only the genetic difference, but also the difference in eating habits.

Similar to Zhuxia’s large territory, it is divided by water systems. There are obvious differences in eating habits between the North and the South. There are not many countries with vast territories, all because of the obvious differences in the physical fitness of different citizens in the region, but the difference is as big as that of Zhuxia. There are really few countries, all because the eating habits of other countries are basically the same.

When they walked across the square, they saw Yuan Qiao who had been waiting again. The two sides did not talk. Yuan Qiao led him through the palace gate and came to a corridor surrounded by two walls.

Kianusz Alta Aldahir walked into the corridor surrounded by the tall city wall. It’s actually a bit chilling. Terrain like this is designed for killing. If there is an enemy, don’t talk about the front and back. In siege, there is no need to shoot arrows on the city wall. You only need to keep dropping stones to wipe out the invading enemy.

After passing the corridor, they had to pass another palace gate, and when they walked up the stairs, they saw a square again, and there were also many sergeants on guard.

[The defense construction of the Han Empire is too particular. 】Kianusz Alta Aldashir has been looking around and found that not only the guard sergeants have a bright spot, but some buildings have a lot of remote equipment arranged: 【Maybe we should learn from the model of the Han Empire to rebuild the royal city ? 】

They walked to the other end of the square, and they had to walk over ninety-nine eighty-one steps to reach the gate of the palace~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They were quite curious about the sculptures placed on both sides, they were some broken The dragon-shaped sculpture is also something they have never seen before.

Yuan Qiao stopped and said, "Please place your weapon on the weapon rack."

Kiyanush Alta Aldahir said very simply: "We do not carry weapons."

That said, but still undergoing rigorous searches, the Persians didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and they would do the same.

When he really entered the hall, Kianusz Alta Aldahir found that the internal space was really large. Originally, he wanted to observe the environment carefully, but he saw that on both sides of the front end of the interior, there were officials sitting on their knees. On the high platform, people who can only slightly see the outline of the human figure because of the dimness.

The hall seemed very quiet. They only heard the sound of stepping when they were led to move forward. They always came to a platform above the pool. Suddenly someone sang and said a bunch of words, and they knelt in pieces according to the etiquette taught in advance. Down.

The high platform is not a high platform, just because Zhu Xia's "ritual" needs to leave the "Nine-Five Supreme" steps, the person sitting is naturally Liu Yan, and he is expressionless when he sees the visitors kneeling down.
