    Chapter 52 The Arrival of the Romans

    After settling some details, Liu Xuan directly issued an internal mobilization order.

    This order is not publicized to the outside world. Only the ministers in the court and the generals in the army know about it. But even so, some people can feel from the gradually changing atmosphere that the huge machine of the Han Dynasty is starting to operate at high speed.

    The Han Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population. It will take a lot of time to truly mobilize. Moreover, Liu Xuan also intends to take this opportunity to examine the current efficiency of the Han Dynasty not only the efficiency of the army, but also the state of mobilization.  What was the reaction of officials from various places?

    The mobilization order lasted for a whole year, and countless problems were exposed during this period.

    The mobilization of the army, the mobilization of ordnance, the mobilization of grain and grass, the mobilization of officials from various places

    The entire Han Dynasty was so busy. Some officials who could not keep up with the pace and were very slow were demoted or dismissed. What they knew was that the court was carrying out a big move. It was very important, so they acted so resolutely. I don't know what I thought.  The situation in the court was changing, and what earth-shattering changes in power had taken place!

    Even in remote places such as Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, there were rumors that the emperor had died. After receiving the news, Liu Xuan directly ordered the arrests and beheaded the rumor mongers in public. This stabilized the situation in the south and nothing happened.

    After struggling for so long, the vanguard troops and horses have already moved to Yongzhou under the leadership of Lu Bu, and then will go north in Yongzhou and keep pushing northward.

    This time, Liu Xuan did not engage in a strategy of sending out several armies to strangle the Huns. Instead, he simply left Yongzhou and headed north, killing enemies when he encountered them, and then stopped step by step, constantly squeezing the Xiongnu's survival.  space until all the Huns are finally destroyed.

    This style of play should be the most royal style of play. It is simply to push past with superior strength. The Huns have no other choice except to continue to resist without any doubt.

    Any tactics such as roaming, harassment, and running attacks are all nonsense in the face of this style of play, and the Huns will also lose their most proud mobility - in fact, even if they are fighting for mobility, the Huns are not.  The big man's opponent.

    "After preparing for so long, the rest of the army will also go to the battlefield!"

    This is Liu Xuan¡¯s last night before departure. The review before departure has already been completed, but there is only one reason why Liu Xuan hasn¡¯t set off yet. He is waiting for someone.

    "Where is Diocletian?"

    In order to wait for the former ruler of the Roman Empire, Liu Xuan delayed his departure. Anyway, in his opinion, fighting the Xiongnu was a large-scale experiment. In this case, it is better to show the true strength of the Han Dynasty.

    So he not only invited envoys from the Roman Empire, but also invited some Persians. After all, the Persian Empire now took shape.  It is a pity that the Persian Empire does not seem to realize that there is a powerful empire in the far east. This empire is powerful enough to crush the emerging Persian Empire into ashes with a wave of its hand.

    This time, Liu Xuan just hopes that these Persians will bring this news back. Although he will fight there sooner or later, after all, the fight is not going to start immediately. Before that, he should maintain some communication. This will be helpful for conquering these countries in the future.  It¡¯s also much more convenient.

    "Your Majesty, Diocletian has already landed in Qingzhou, and then transferred to a Han Dynasty ship from the Yellow River waterway to Luoyang. According to calculations, he will arrive at midnight tomorrow at the latest and midnight today at the earliest."

    Diocletian¡¯s whereabouts have always been under Chen Lin¡¯s control, especially after arriving in the territory of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that Liu Xuan could know how many times Diocletian went to the toilet.

    "Oh, it's almost there!"

    Liu Xuan is very curious, what will Diocletian do after seeing all kinds of magical things in the big man?

    In fact, Diocletian never stopped marveling since he boarded the ship he bought from the Han Dynasty.

    With such a fast ship and no need for manpower, he simply couldn't figure out how it was done - the launching system was too complicated, so complicated that even the Romans couldn't do it if they wanted to take it apart and study it.

    What's more, the cultivation civilization of the Han people has been raised to a higher level. The Romans, who didn't understand these things at all, would not have been able to even sail a ship to sea if they hadn't hired a group of Han people as sailors. Even with the hands-on teachings of these people,  Currently, there are not many people who are proficient in ship posture skills.

    After Diocletian saw this situation, he felt more and more that his decision was correct. This trip to the East will definitely have a good result.

    ??????????????????? After reaching the territorial waters of the Han Dynasty - in fact, all the oceans now can be regarded as the territorial waters of the Han Dynasty, because there is no?Can compete with the Han navy at sea - Diocletian finally saw the rumored iron ship.

    Diocletian was even invited to board the flagship by Yu Jin, who was specially sent to pick him up. Only after he actually set foot on the Han's warship did Diocletian realize how wrong his and others' guesses were.  .

    "A boat really made of metalhow does it float on the water?"

    Diocletian did not speak Chinese, but the Roman Empire had very frequent exchanges with the Han people in recent years, so there was no shortage of people who knew how to Chinese. So Diocletian specially found a few people to be his translators. At this time, he finally  Came in handy.

    Yu Jin frowned. He only had a rough understanding of these theories. If he wanted to explain them clearly, he would probably have to send Diocletian to Luoyang University to study for a few years.

    So he could only give a rough explanation. Fortunately, after Diocletian listened in the fog for a while and found that he couldn't understand at all, he decisively gave up questioning and continued walking up and down the deck, nonstop.  He reached out and rubbed the hull of the boat.

    Diocletian was not an ignorant man, and he was also very knowledgeable. After just touching it a few times, Diocletian discovered that the metal used to make the ship was something he did not recognize at all, and it was extremely strong - even the Roman  The sharpest spear could not leave even the slightest trace on this battleship.

    And how on earth did the big man build such a strong metal into the shape of a ship?

    This thought was put aside after turning around in his head. Compared with these, there were more questions he wanted to know.

    It can be said that after receiving the Roman Empire's fleet from the sea and inviting the former Roman Emperor aboard the ship, Yu Jin ran into huge trouble-this Roman who was not young seemed to be interested in  He is curious about everything and asks questions almost all the time. If Yu Jin had not had a good temper, he would have gone crazy.

    At this time, he was glad that he came in person. If he had sent Gan Ning, he would have really gone crazy.

    After about half a month, Diocletian finally didn't have so many questions anymore, because he had already got most of the answers. As for a small part of the answers, it wasn't that he couldn't tell them, but that he couldn't listen at all.  Understand - for example, how on earth does this boat move forward on the water?

    He could understand some things, but most of them he couldn't understand. He was keenly aware that those things he didn't understand were the key to his trip. If he could understand them, he might get great benefits.

    Especially when he learned that Yu Jin was already over a hundred years old this year, but still looked like a man in his thirties, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a bit.

    "Abandoning the throne of the Roman Empire and coming to this far away east, this place known as the country where the gods live is really the most correct choice I have ever made in my life!"

    Standing on a much smaller warship, Diocletian would look at both sides of the Yellow River every day to see the strange and beautiful scenery.

    Especially when we arrived in Luoyang, even though it was night, we could still vaguely see the outline of Luoyang City, because Luoyang City was so huge that we couldn't even see the edges.

    Yu Jin stood nearby and looked very proud when he noticed Diocletian's surprised mouth.

    "This is the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City!"

    Diocletian could not imagine how such a huge city was built. The tall city wall with no end visible at a glance gave people a more astonishing visual impact than an iron knot running back and forth on the water.

    Until the ship docked on the log, Diocletian did not fully come back to his senses.

    The closer you get, the more shocking you are. Coupled with Luoyang's continuous development over the years, its prosperity is definitely the highest in the world. Even though it is already midnight, you can still see the lights in the town that are like stars - that  Luoyang City is a city that never sleeps. It has almost all kinds of consumer and entertainment facilities. It is the busiest place in these places at night. Many people who have worked all day are willing to go there to have some fun and relax.

    Compared with Diocletian, it was not the first time for the Roman merchants he brought to see Luoyang, so they behaved slightly better. They were even introducing the city to some compatriots, including what fun places there were.  There are delicious food and drinks. These people are so excited that they can't wait to get off the boat and run directly there.

    But they knew this was impossible, because when they set foot on the ship, they learned that the supreme ruler of the Han Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, who was called the incarnation of Jupiter in the world by many Roman businessmen,  We are waiting for their arrival and will take them to see a big show early tomorrow morning.

      They never knew what it was exactly. Now that they had arrived in Luoyang, Diocletian finally couldn't help but ask - he also wanted to take a look around this magical city and see it up close.  There are so many amazing things about this city.

    But he was also a little curious about what the so-called ¡®big show¡¯ was?  Is there any grand celebration?

    When we got here, there was no need to hide Yu Jin. Anyway, he was leaving early tomorrow morning, so there was no harm in telling the former Roman emperor now.

    "My Han army has been preparing for war this year, and even 50,000 troops have gone to the north. Tomorrow, Your Majesty will personally lead the remaining 250,000 troops to go to the north to destroy the Xiongnu!"

    As soon as these words came out, several Romans were stunned into silence.

    p.s: There¡¯s going to be a war again I¡¯m so depressed
