Chapter 206 To Rome

  【Crotis recruited 100,000 soldiers from all over the country, ready to defeat the soldiers of Daqi! 】

  【You led the troops all the way to attack, and the soldiers of the Ptolemaic Dynasty could not stop your footsteps at all. 】

  On the battlefield, the armies of both sides clashed.

  There are more than 60,000 troops on the Ptolemaic side, but only 30,000 on the Qi side!

   "Kill them!" The nobles of the Ptolemaic dynasty ordered the slaves to charge. Under the threat of death and braids, the slaves had to take up arms and rush to the battlefield!

   They were disorganized, like a herd of wild animals charging at the crowd.

   On Daqi's side, the soldiers lined up, stood, defended, and attacked in an orderly manner.

  Cleopatra saw that among the soldiers of Daqi, even if their comrades in arms died before their eyes, they would not stop walking, but immediately took up weapons to fill in the vacancies of their comrades in arms!

   Their condensed battle formation can easily tear apart the enemy army!

   Their firecrackers had wiped out more than 10,000 enemy troops before the two armies approached. And when swords and soldiers meet, the soldiers of the Ptolemy dynasty are even more vulnerable!

   It only took an hour for Da Qi's soldiers to defeat them, and the nobles knelt down to beg for mercy or ran for their lives in embarrassment!

"Is this a war? It's too fast, and the balance of victory has not tilted from beginning to end!" Cleopatra looked at Zhang Beichen with a face full of surprise, and said, "Your soldiers are stronger than the Roman legions. !"

   "Of course!" Zhang Beichen smiled, "Even if Caesar is here, he can't resist our attack!"

   These people are all carefully selected by him from Daqi's army of millions!

  Many of them are veterans of hundreds of battles, the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms, the southern barbarians, the northern Xiongnu, and the expedition to Guishuang!

   There are also large and small battles in the voyage. It can be said that any one of them jumping out is enough to lead an army of ten thousand people!

  【You fought all the way to the Ptolemy King City, and your soldiers only lost less than a hundred people. 】

  …

  In the palace, Crotis questioned the nobles and generals: "Why, why did we lose so many people, or let them fight over?"

   "My king, they are demons from the east!" The generals were terrified, "Only the gods can resist them!"

   "Hurry up, go to Caesar for help!" Clotis knew that he would definitely not be able to defend himself, so he could only seek the help of the Roman army.

  The messenger of Clotis came to Caesar's military account and explained everything to him.

  Caesar already knew the information at this time. He led his troops to chase and kill Pompey. After killing Pompey, he should withdraw his troops.

  But the fact that the Easterners snatched Cleopatra made him furious.

   "No one can offend me!"

   "I conquer everything, no matter where it comes from!"

   "Send the order to go to Ptolemy and kill those Easterners!" Caesar raised the knight's long sword and ordered.

  The Roman army immediately dispatched to rescue the Ptolemaic dynasty.

  …

  【You started to attack Ptolemy’s royal city. After half a month, Da Qi’s soldiers broke through the royal city. 】

  The soldiers rushed into the palace and surrounded Clotis.

   "My dear brother, we meet again!" Cleopatra walked slowly.

  Crotis looked resentful, and said: "Cleopatra, you betrayed Caesar! The Romans will not let you and these Orientals go!"

   "It's a pity you can't see it!" Cleopatra didn't have any affection for this younger brother.

  The soldiers rushed forward and killed Clotis.

  The nobles of the Ptolemy dynasty naturally loyal to Cleopatra, after all, she is also the legal heir to the throne.

  The first thing Cleopatra did after becoming a female pharaoh was to find a way to resist the attack of the Roman army.

  Information shows that Caesar brought 80,000 people to the royal city within ten days.

   It is worth mentioning that although Rome has a vast area, there are not many soldiers.

  Da Qi's population and army are far larger than Rome's. Now Rome has nearly 40 legions, each with more than 10,000 people.

  This number of soldiers makes the western countries frightened!

  But for Zhang Beichen, who is used to seeing big scenes, this is just normal!

   "Can we stop the Romans?" Cleopatra lay in Zhang Beichen's arms, still worried.

  Zhang Beichen caressed her soft long hair and said, "Don't worry, Caesar wants to attack the city after he brought 80,000 people? It's absolutely impossible!"

  Thinking back then, he used to defend hundreds of thousands of people with 30,000 people!

   As for going out of the city to fight, Zhang Beichen didn't think about it. Roman soldiers also fight all year round, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.

  He doesn't want to lose these 30,000 people in vain!

  Even if they try their best to repel these Romans, the Roman Republic still has hundreds of thousands of troops, how to deal with it?

  No matter how powerful Da Qi is, it is impossible to send a large army to support him.

   Zhang Beichen also decided to only defend and not attack for Cleopatra and business considerations.

  …

  【Caesar led the Roman army to the city of King Ptolemy. 】

  Caesar looked at the top of the wall, the goddess-like woman was holding hands with Zhang Beichen to watch the battle at the top of the wall, which made him jealous.

   "Siege!" Caesar ordered.

  【The Roman army fought hard to attack the city, but the soldiers of Daqi had very rich experience in defending the city. No matter how they charged, they could not break through the city. 】

  【Caesar has been attacking the city for more than half a month, but still has not achieved any results. 】

   At this time, it was Caesar who couldn't bear it first!

  Because his Roman army expedition will not carry too much supplies, basically he will go all the way, either the local nobles "filial piety" or just grab it!

  Now the city cannot be broken, and the army is directly short of food and grass. If they don't retreat, the army will starve to death here.

  Under the city, Caesar roared: "Cleopatra, Zhang Beichen, I will come back! When the Roman army arrives again, the Ptolemaic Dynasty will definitely be crushed!"

   "Let's go, don't send it off!" Zhang Beichen smiled and waved, which made Caesar even more angry!

  In his life, he had defeated countless opponents, but he never expected that in this little Ptolemy, he would be blocked by an oriental man who came across the sea!

  Caesar secretly swore in his heart that he would dispatch troops and generals after returning, and then conquer here, kill Zhang Beichen, and **** Cleopatra away!

  …

  【The Roman army withdrew. With the help of Da Qi soldiers, Cleopatra quickly took control of the entire Ptolemaic dynasty and became a noble female pharaoh! 】

  【Cleopatra announced that the Ptolemaic dynasty and Da Qi will have a good relationship forever, and start business with Da Qi. 】

   On Pharaoh’s big bed, Zhang Beichen and Cleopatra were disheveled, hugging and sleeping.

  He found that Cleopatra was somewhat similar to Wei Yao, and this little girl was crazy in some ways.

   "Don't leave me, okay?" Cleopatra hugged him tightly and said.

  Zhang Beichen did not answer, but said: "After all, I am the prime minister of Daqi."

  Cleopatra was a little disappointed, and then asked: "Then when will you leave?"

  Zhang Beichen said: "Soon, but don't worry, I will come back to see you."

  At this time, he noticed that Cleopatra made another small move.

   "Before I leave, I want to conceive your child! He (she) will be the Pharaoh of the Ptolemaic Dynasty in the future!" Cleopatra said firmly.

  …

  【You stayed in the Ptolemaic dynasty for several months, and finally returned to the fleet with the property from the West. 】

  By the port, Cleopatra stayed for a long time until the fleet disappeared at the end of the sea level. She had been reluctant to leave for a long time.

  …

  【The fleet speeded up to return, and after more than half a year, they finally returned to Qi. 】

  Hearing that the fleet was returning, Jiang Chan personally went to the port to meet Zhang Beichen.

  As soon as she saw Zhang Beichen, she jumped into Zhang Beichen's arms unscrupulously, and said in a resentful tone: "You are finally back, I am so boring by myself!"

   "Your Majesty, there are so many people watching!" Zhang Beichen reminded.

   "Take care of them?" Jiang Chan snorted softly, she was unwilling to let go.

  Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "This time I brought back a lot of good things from Nanyang and Xiyang, please take a look at your majesty!"

   "Really? I want to see!" Jiang Chan followed Zhang Beichen to board the boat.

  There are all kinds of novel plants and animals on the treasure ship. Zhang Beichen even brought back a lion and a giraffe.

   In addition, there are a large number of gold, treasures, etc. from various countries.

  Jiang Chan's eyes sparkled, and she said, "So many treasures!"

   "This trip, I made a hundred times the profit!" Zhang Beichen proudly said, "There are more than a dozen countries willing to do business with Daqi!"

   "Okay, good job!" Jiang Chan waved her arm, "I will reward you greatly!"

  Zhang Beichen also suggested: "I hope His Majesty will allow Daqi's private boats to go to these countries for business."

  Relying solely on official ship commerce, the scale is too small. Although there will be some problems in private ship commerce, as long as Daqi is strong, the benefits will far outweigh the problems!

   "Quite!" Jiang Chan agreed directly.

  …

  【You bring the things brought by the fleet to the imperial city, and all kinds of strange things and western treasures attract the attention of the subjects. For a while, many people start to organize the fleet and start maritime trade. 】

  【Two years later. You asked Emperor Qi to go to the West again, and Emperor Qi approved your request. 】

   This time, Zhang Beichen's voyage to the West was much smoother. Most of the countries along the way are still friendly to them. Even if there are some disobedient ones, they will be honest if they are educated with sticks.

  【The fleet sailed all the way and came to the Ptolemy Dynasty again. 】

   "Zhang Beichen!" Cleopatra finally waited for Zhang Beichen. She hadn't seen her for more than three years, and she became even more beautiful!

  Beside Cleopatra, there is a little boy.

   "This is, my child?" Zhang Beichen felt the fetters of blood.

   "Yes, his name is Zhang Yang Patra!" Cleopatra said.

   "Great!" Zhang Beichen took his wife and children by the hand and spent happy time with them.

  Business matters, Zhang Beichen taught his subordinates.

   Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and Zhang Beichen and Cleopatra have been separated for more than three years, and she is even more crazy.

   A few days later, Zhang Beichen broke free from Ruan Ruanxiang.

  He began to understand the current situation of the Tolemo Dynasty.

  When Zhang Beichen left, he left some people behind to help Cleopatra. After a few years, Cleopatra had stronger control over the Ptolemaic dynasty and began to prosper.

  This aroused Caesar's dissatisfaction even more. It is said that he is already preparing to send troops again to conquer the Ptolemaic dynasty.

   "If the Roman army attacks me, I won't be able to defend this place without your help." Cleopatra knew very well that Ptolemy's military strength could not be Rome's opponent.

   "It's better not to fight or not to fight." Zhang Beichen is not afraid of the Romans, but he can't stay in the Ptolemaic dynasty forever, right?

   What if the Romans call as soon as he leaves?

  After much deliberation, Zhang Beichen decided to go to Rome to see the situation.

   "Are you going to Rome? Take me with you!" Cleopatra asked to go together when she heard this.

   "You are the queen, and this trip is dangerous..." Zhang Beichen said.

   "I'm not afraid!" Cleopatra said aggrievedly, "You come this time, and you will stay for a few months before leaving. If I can't be with you, wouldn't we only meet once in a few years?"

   "Even if you don't want the throne, I will be with you!" She hugged Zhang Beichen tightly, not letting him leave.

   "Okay then!" Zhang Beichen thought that it was indeed so, and agreed to her request.

  Cleopatra handed over the matter to the minister, and she, Zhang Beichen and his entourage disguised themselves as businessmen and went to Rome.

  【You have traveled all the way, relying on your strong strength, you came to Rome safely. 】

   "This is my first time in Rome! It's so majestic!" Cleopatra was a little excited. The city of Rome is majestic, and huge stone sculptures and buildings can be seen everywhere in the city.

  Cleopatra is easy to attract people's attention because of her outstanding appearance. At this time, she is covering her face with a white gauze.

   "How does Daqi's imperial city compare to it?" Cleopatra asked Zhang Beichen.

   "The imperial city of Daqi is more majestic than it! There are one million people living in the entire city!" Zhang Beichen said.

   "One million people!" Cleopatra exclaimed. It was hard for her to imagine that a city could actually house a million people!

   This figure is too exaggerated.

  【You stay in Rome and start looking for news. 】

  【Relying on money, you quickly got on the line of an official in Rome, and learned about the current situation in Rome through him. 】

  Since Caesar killed his confidant Pompey, he has almost monopolized the power of the Roman Republic.

  In the Roman Republic at this time, although the consul was the highest commander in name, major events were decided by the Senate meeting.

  Caesar was very dissatisfied with the Senate, and believed that the existence of the Senate limited his power, so he began to suppress the Senate.

   Therefore, the elders of the Senate began to fight against Caesar, and the fight was very fierce.

  This is also the reason why Caesar wanted to send troops to the Ptolemaic dynasty, but he has been procrastinating and not implementing it. The elders are very opposed.

  …

  Rome, in the Senate, the elders are meeting to discuss whether to send troops to the Ptolemaic Dynasty.

   "My opinion is that you can't send troops! Sending troops to Ptolemy is not good for us at all!"

   "Yes, Caesar actually wants to send out an army to conquer a country for a woman! Doesn't he know that we have owed a lot of debts for his war?"

   "He doesn't care at all, he is a dictator. We can't let a dictator control the army!" The senators were very dissatisfied with Caesar, and took advantage of this opportunity to attack Caesar wildly.
