- As the saying goes, time is like water and life is like song!
Liu Xuan didn¡¯t feel much about the last sentence, but the first half of the sentence really felt it very personally.
After returning to Dahan, I lived a very monotonous and ordinary life every day, because there was not much difference in what I did every day, so the passage of time left almost no feeling.
In addition, Liu Xuan himself does not age, and he cannot feel the passage of time from himself, so when he came to his senses, the past few decades had passed in a blink of an eye.
For such a long time, the entire Han Dynasty has been in a prosperous situation. The prosperity and prosperity of the Han Dynasty are not only known to the Han people themselves, but also to distant countries such as Anxi, Kushan and the tyrannical Roman Empire. Well, there is another point. The Parthian Dynasty, which was extremely powerful back then, has now fallen into the garbage heap of history. It was replaced by the powerful Sasanian Dynasty of Persia and Zhang Lu's Celestial Master Taoist forces.
Within a few decades, although the distance between Asia and Europe was very far, they also attracted envoys from the Roman Empire.
The two sides have contacted several times in the past few decades, but those times were sent by the Roman Empire, while the Han Dynasty never sent an envoy.
Logically speaking, such a situation would cause strong dissatisfaction from the powerful Roman Empire, but in fact it was not like that.
The Roman Empire had begun to decline. Even if no one told Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan still vaguely remembered it.
Although the Roman Empire at this time had not really been divided into two parts, the internal chaos was actually getting more and more serious. In addition, the west and east were facing powerful enemies at the same time. The Roman Empire had to divide its most elite soldiers into two parts. In part, one rushed to the northern front to deal with the Germans, and all the way to the eastern front to deal with the Persians and Zhang Lu's forces.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually. Even without Zhang Lu, this move was an introduction to the later division into east and west parts. In addition, the central government gradually loses its binding force on the lower levels. So the Roman Empire was in chaos for the next time, and was eventually divided into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire.
In recent years, the Roman Empire has faced more enemies. The Gauls and Goths have successively raised armies, and the Roman Empire can be said to be completely in chaos.
?That is to say. The Roman Empire was not having an easy time now, and their envoys came to the East. I was shocked by the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the magical tools that seemed to exist only in legends.
When the first batch of merchants returned to Rome and told about the prosperity of the Han Dynasty in the streets, alleys, taverns, squares and other places, many people thought they were making things up. There were many disputes.
Logically speaking. Because the content they told was too magical, the Roman Empire would not take these "rumors" to heart. But Zhang Lu's appearance became an opportunity.
The army of Zhang Lu's forces was not large in number, but the several generals who led the army knew how to cast magical spells, which made the Roman army complain incessantly. Even the Persians, who gave the Romans a huge headache, faced the forces of Tianshi Dao. Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed. So despite Zhang Lu's small power, he initially lived in the cracks between the Roman Empire, the Persian Sasanian Dynasty, and the Parthian Empire.
But when the Persian Sasanian Dynasty launched an all-out attack on the Parthian Empire, which was also the Parthian Empire. Zhang Lu took advantage of the situation to rise, expanding his power a lot, and truly establishing a foothold in the east of the Mediterranean.
Now Zhang Lu is still desperately expanding his power, hoping to push his power to the east coast of the Mediterranean. In that case, he will build a seaport city. Although Zhang Lu does not know much about the role of seaports, if he can win it, at least he will No longer need to be surrounded by enemies like now.
The Tianshi Dao army that was attacking with all its strength was very terrifying. This caused the Roman Empire's army to retreat steadily, and it was about to give up its territory on the east coast of the Mediterranean. In this case, the power of the Roman Empire would also be cut off. In the future, the territories on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and the northern coast of Africa will become enclaves, which can only be connected by relying on the immature navigation technology of this era. This will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Roman Empire.
What¡¯s more, the Sasanian dynasty of Persia was eyeing these places eagerly. How could the Roman Empire not be anxious? It happened to be at this time that the rulers of Rome noticed the rumors about the Han Dynasty.
The man named Zhang Lu was a rebel of the Han Dynasty. He fled here after being defeated by the rulers of the Han Empire!
The Han Empire was extremely powerful. The people there wore gorgeous clothes, there were endless amounts of novel and delicious food, there were endless drinks that were unimaginably delicious, the territory was extremely vast and was no worse than the Roman Empire, and there were various All kinds of amazing tools.
?Finally, under the pressure of Zhang Lu, the Romans began to accept these rumors, organized a large mission, and led the caravans to the distant east.
This was the beginning of the connection between the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty - in fact, the Romans had communicated with the Han Dynasty for a long time, but at that time there was only a slight contact, and there was no communication at all.
Unlike this time, the communication really started.
It¡¯s just that Liu Xuan was not very interested in in-depth exchanges with the Roman Empire. Even when the Roman Empire might be able to deepen their friendship through marriage, Liu Xuan said: The Han Dynasty only has one princess, and she has been married long ago! Got blocked and went back.
This made the envoy of the Roman Empire very discouraged, but he couldn't get angry.
He only had to live in the Han Dynasty for the first half of a year, and he fully felt the huge gap between the Roman Empire and the Han Empire - this gap was all-round, and he even believed that the Roman Empire was like a defenseless baby in front of the Han Empire. , as long as the other party is willing, he can kill himself at any time.
"terrible!"
Unlike merchants who could only see some ordinary things, these envoys representing the Roman Empire could see more, especially when all the cavalry were riding winged Pegasus and could fly into the sky to attack. Afterwards, they even suspected that they had arrived in the legendary world, where the people living here were not humans, but gods!
In fact, when they saw the Yulin Cavalry all rising into the sky and collectively using their sunset bows to cover the ground with shooting, the terrifying explosions and the cloud of smoke and dust that covered the sky did make many Romans kneel on the ground. Prayers were performed They thought it was the wrath of the gods.
Although the Roman as the envoy performed better, it was limited. He just didn't kneel down!
Under this situation, the Romans really couldn't stand up, so in the subsequent exchanges, the Romans came to 'pilgrimage', but Liu Xuan simply didn't even bother to meet him, and sent officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to deal with it. that is.
But the more he behaved like this, the more attentive the Romans became. Even when their country was in chaos, the number of envoys coming to the Han Dynasty never stopped - there were even high-level Roman officials coming to 'pilgrimage', and these people came to visit After going back for a while, they started to promote again, which resulted in a situation that made Liu Xuan dumbfounded.
The Han Empire became a place where all kinds of gods lived in the minds of the Romans. The Han people have almost become the people of the gods, and the emperor of the Han Empire is the spokesperson of the gods in the world, the incarnation of Jupiter in the world (this name was originally the self-proclaimed name of the Roman ruler Diocletian, but now it is directly sent to It¡¯s on Liu Xuan¡¯s head) Wait, wait, wait
"If this were to happen in future generations, Liu Xuan would never believe that such a thing would happen. Even if someone says that an Asian is the incarnation of God, he will probably be hunted down by the Holy See immediately - the contradiction between culture and race is almost irreconcilable.
On the contrary, in this era, the concept of race is much weaker!
Liu Xuan, who only showed up occasionally and never showed his immortal skills in front of the Romans, should not be regarded as the incarnation of a god. But who asked a certain nobleman from the Roman Empire to come to the Han Dynasty not long ago? It took Liu Xuan a hundred years to ascend the throne.
¡°This person thought he heard it wrong at first, but after questioning carefully, it turned out to be true for a hundred years.
"Running an empire for a hundred years?"
In the eyes of this Roman, this is simply impossible. Not to mention the age when he ascended the throne of God, even this one hundred years of life is not something ordinary people can have.
What's more, he had met the Emperor of the Han Empire once, and his face was even much younger than his, as if he was in his early twenties.
"That Emperor is over a hundred years old this year?"
There happened to be an official from the Ministry of Rites nearby. Hearing this, he smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is already one hundred and twenty years old this year!"
The Roman opened his mouth and was so shocked that he didn¡¯t know what to say! The next day, this man set out to return to the Roman Empire, and finally succeeded in telling this 'important' news to Diocletian, the ruler of the Roman Empire at that time.
Until this time, someone suddenly realized that Zhang Lu, who had been threatening the eastern part of the Roman Empire, seemed to be quite old
At this point, the Han Empire was no longer a country in the eyes of the Romans, it was a place where the gods lived.
Diocletian even prepared to go to the Han Empire in person. For this reason, he even reduced his troops and stopped military operations against the Sasanian Dynasty of Persia. The entire Roman Empire strangely began to shrink and defend.
Then Diocletian formed a large armyThe pilgrim team is preparing to take the sea route to the Han Empire - and what is interesting is that all the ships used by the Roman Empire were bought from the civilian shipyards of the Han Dynasty in recent years. It is with these ships that the Roman Empire and the Han Empire The contact can be so frequent.
It can be said that although Liu Xuan did not take the initiative to influence, the world has completely deflected from its original trajectory, and it is no longer possible for him to control it even if he wants to.
"The era of global villagemay come earlier than I expected!"
And at this time, a new news came from the north: the Tuoba family, the most powerful family in the Dai Kingdom, won the throne and became the new emperor of the Xianbei country, and changed the name of the country to Wei!
The news reached the Han Dynasty, and the Han people called it the Northern Wei Dynasty according to the custom of earlier years. At this time, it happened to be the 100th year of the Han calendar, which was the 300th year of AD.
