The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 651 On the road and preaching

This is also the biggest problem facing the Guishuang Empire today, and with the rise of the Sasanian Dynasty, the Guishuang Empire can be described as internal and external troubles.

As for the other three empires in the same period, let alone the big Han, the history of Rome is not much worse than that of China. After several wars, Rome still stands. As for the Sasanian Dynasty, it can be said to be the continuation of the Persian Empire. It is also as old as the Guishuang Empire, which is not a mere foreign country.

"Yarman, the messenger of the Kangju Kingdom..."

"Dawan Kingdom Envoy Ackerman..."

"Onios, envoy of Turan Kingdom..."

"Bactrian envoy..."

"Messenger of Mokran..."

"Balmi Grain Messenger..."

. . . . . .

A total of thirteen national envoys, including most of the countries in Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe. Of course, there are more than these countries in Asia today, and there is not a single country in Southeast Asia, but the Han army will soon go to find them. them.

There are also countries in South Asia. The most powerful one now should be the Baicheng Dynasty, and its territory is large enough. It can block the expansion of the Guishuang Empire, which shows its strength.After the big Han conquered the Chop Kingdom and Southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that it will be connected with the Baicheng Dynasty.

As for Europe, being blocked by the Sasanian Dynasty, the Han mission could only stop here, but it still brought back several missions from small countries in Eastern Europe, barely contacting Europe.

After that, the missions from various countries sent gifts to Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty. Most of them were some very precious gold and silver jewelry, ivory inlaid with gold, etc. There were all kinds of things, but I have to say that they were all precious things and worth collecting.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Han." After the gift, Earl Morton, the envoy of the Sasanian Dynasty, stood up, bowed to Liu Bei, and then said: "Our empire wants to reopen the trade route with the Han Empire, and we hope that His Majesty the Emperor of Han will allow it."

At this time, Chen Ziming stood up and said: "The Great Han has also restarted the Silk Road, and communicated with the western countries. At the time when the envoys of all countries are here, we will discuss the matter of reopening the trade route, and hope that all countries will publish their own opinions. view."

Reopening the trade route is not a one-sentence matter. It requires the cooperation of various countries. They need to open the road, they need to send troops to clear the horse bandits on Xiaoqing Road, and all countries need to guarantee the interests and personal safety of the merchants.

Moreover, business taxes also need to be negotiated carefully. Opening up business routes, in addition to exchanging needs, there is also the need to bring tax revenue to the country.

"Our Guishuang Empire agrees to reopen the trade routes and guarantee the safety of merchants from all over the empire..." Barrett, the envoy of the Guishuang Empire, immediately expressed his support.

You must know that the Guishuang Empire is the only place that connects the east-west business routes. I don’t know how much wealth the Silk Road once brought to the Guishuang Empire. Now, of course, they support the opening of the trade route. It is only good for the Guishuang Empire, and there is no harm. .

The Han Empire, the Guishuang Empire, and the Sasanian Dynasty all agreed to reopen the trade routes, and the three empires happened to be connected to each other. After that, it can radiate from the three empires to all directions.

As for the Roman Empire, Chen Ziming couldn't help it. The Sassanid Dynasty blocked the way, and it might take a lot of effort to connect to Rome.

Forcibly forcing the Sasanian Dynasty to give way, Chen Ziming felt that it was quite difficult, at least the current big Han did not have this ability, even though the Sassanian Dynasty had just been established, but its predecessor was the Persian Empire, just like the relationship between the big Han and Qin.

What made Chen Ziming think the most was that the emperor of the Sasanian Dynasty was Ardashir, who was known as the King of Kings in history and the founder of the Sasanian Dynasty. Now it is expanding in all directions, and the Guishuang Empire is also being persecuted by Ardashir. retreat.

The mighty Roman Empire also had difficulty keeping up with Ardasil's offensive pace for a while. That is to say, the Sassanian Dynasty has already walked ahead of the Han Dynasty and opened the road of external expansion, and the Sassanian Dynasty will continue to expand for a long time in the future. Very powerful.

Ardashir's ability is unquestionable. Dare to be called the king of kings. There are several in the entire human history. Alexander is one, and Genghis Khan is one. I don't know if the most powerful Tang Dynasty is one. After all, they did not sweep Asia and Europe record.

The initial summoning of the mission ended hastily, but this time, the initial intention to reopen the trade route was reached, which is not a small gain. The rest of the work is left to the corresponding officials of the Government Affairs Council to complete. This matter cannot be completed overnight.

The next day, the negotiations with the missions of various countries officially started, but not everyone was keen to reopen the trade route, such as Bishop Elliott, the deputy envoy of the Sasanian Dynasty standing in front of Liu Bei.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, please allow the great Zoroastrianism to preach in the Han Empire, and let the world know the oracle of the main god Ahura-Mazda..."

What made Liu Bei and Chen Ziming speechless was that the bishop of the Zoroastrianism started to explain the teachings of the Zoroastrianism to Liu Bei here. I have to say that Elliott has a good eloquence and a deep understanding of the teachings of the Zoroastrianism.

Even for a short while, Liu Bei was fascinated by the teachings of Zoroastrianism. It showed Liu Bei a mythical world and raised Ahura-Mazda's status to an untouchable level.

"Okay." Seeing that Liu Bei didn't interrupt Elliott's speech, Chen Ziming snorted coldly in his heart, and interrupted sharply: "Big Han respects the beliefs of the Sassanid Kingdom, but what the Han people believe in is their freedom. The Han court will not interfere."

"That's great, thank you, Prime Minister Dahan." Elliott immediately became excited after hearing Chen Ziming's words.

Chen Ziming said speechlessly: "I think your envoy misunderstood me. I mean, the Han Dynasty court will not hinder your preaching, but it will not stand up to support your teachings. Moreover, when you preach in the Han Dynasty, you must abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty." , otherwise the big man will expel you."

"I believe in the choices of the world..." As long as the Han emperor does not stop them from preaching, that's enough. Elliott is very confident about whether he can spread the teachings of Zoroastrianism, and they are professional in preaching.

Chen Ziming looked at the back that was slowly going away, and smiled coldly. He wanted to preach in Dahan, and see if Chen Ziming agreed with him. Besides, Dahan's technological road has just started, and he can be imprisoned by messy theories.

"Report to Your Majesty, the deputy envoy of Guishuang Kingdom is asking to see you."

Just as Elliott left, the envoy of the Guishuang Empire came again. Chen Ziming and Liu Bei looked at each other and guessed who it was.
