Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Mediterranean Sea is a vast sea between Europe, Africa and Asia, which has given birth to the splendid civilization that the West is proud of.  Among these ancient civilizations, the Greek civilization is the most eye-catching.  The numerous islands, different cultures, and the dhows traveling between the islands have connected the dotted city-state civilizations with different characteristics.  The greatest epic of the West was written here.  The Olympic flame is lit here.  Unfortunately, all this glory ended in the third century BC. The rise of Macedonia ended the history of the Greek city-state alliance. After that, the Greeks never stood up again.  A Homer epic and a Trojan War not only created mythical heroes such as Achilles and Hector, but also made Helen, a beauty who brought disaster to the country, a household name.  No one has explored the true history, and the passionate Odyssey heroes who inspired the Greeks have gradually disappeared into the dust of history under the influence of the giant hand of time.  Caused this decline.  Not only the defeat of the country, but also because of the departure of the sages.  Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle¡ªthese prophets who are so resounding in Western history have all gone with the wind, and their successors, whether they are Theophrastus or  Dikar and Gemisius, when it comes to knowledge, they really look like crazy students, but when it comes to talent, they are far inferior to their teachers.  In this regard, Aristotle actually has to shoulder a lot of responsibility, because his most proud hero was none other than Alexander of Macedonia, who destroyed Greece.  February 6th.  In the evening, the setting sun leaves a long string of afterglow on the sea.  Haifa Bay.  Like a large storage box with a huge mouth open, it is accepting merchant ships from various places along the Mediterranean coast. In the winter of last year, the first major cooperation intention was reached in the alliance between the Jews and the Qin State.  , which is to carry out deep-water port expansion in the Haifa Bay area.  With the participation of Qin's advanced technology, the construction of the dock at Haifa Port was very smooth. This plan was very secretive at the beginning. The Jews deliberately concealed their alliance with Qin. David was in Macedonia and Ptolemy.  They struggled so much between the bandit neighbors that even though they wanted to resist, they were still afraid.  The first people to expose this plan were Greek businessmen from the Bay of Beirut and Haifa Bay. The first thing they discovered was a group of yellow-skinned people appearing on the coast. These people were not tall in stature, but had an intimidating temperament.  The Orientals seem to appear out of thin air, making people suspicious.  A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Compared with Macedonia, which is mostly landlocked and not close to the Aegean Sea and the east coast of the Mediterranean, the Greeks who advocated industry and commerce and mostly used ships as transportation had to understand the actions of the Qin army.  A little more.  "What are these Qin people doing here? How did they get together with the Jews?" "Look, what is that? They are building a dock. Is this to build a fleet and conduct a cross-sea expedition? How is this possible, even if the Qin people  With warships, it is impossible to find enough sailors. " "Don't think blindly. These days, as long as you have money, you can get anything. On this coast, you just need to call and you won't find any kind of people.  Captains, sailors, oarsmen, deck crews, there are many." With deep worries, businessmen from different countries brought what they saw back to the country. Unfortunately, their reminders  , has almost no reference value for the Mediterranean countries that are under strong threat from the Romans.  "The Phoenicians are building a port. Are they crazy? There are wars in that place every day. Why is it occupied by others before the dock is built?" In the temple of Crete, the origin of Greek civilization  In one of the places, the elders of the Cretan Citizens' Assembly heard the news with contempt on their faces.  The Dead Sea area of ??the Mediterranean where the Jews are located was formerly inhabited by the Phoenicians. The Cretan elders were accustomed to calling them this. In their view, there was no difference between the Jews and the Phoenicians.  The Cretans were like this. On the Greek peninsula, the Greek upper class, who were caught in the civil war between the Peloponnesian League and the Delian League, did not have the slightest interest.  ¡ª¡ª.  No matter whether the upper-class nobles are interested or not.  With the opening of the Silk Road across the entire Asian continent, trade between the East and the West has become more prosperous. Not only Europeans from the West have arrived in the East, but also people from the Qin Dynasty from the East have traveled thousands of miles to reach the West. They are not just for business.  The interests of Qin State also represent the interests of Qin State.  The sixteenth year of the Qin Dynasty.    the first month, spring.  A triangular dhow flying the flag of a Greek business group is sailing along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Cyprus. The triangular sail is the most advanced technology of this era. It can ensure that the sailor can smoothly control the speed and direction of the ship regardless of whether it is a tailwind or a headwind.  Carry out ** control.  This is a large merchant ship with a crew of thirty-six people. Its lower cabin is filled with Western artifacts that have just been exchanged from the Apennine Peninsula and Crete.  Trade has always been two-way. As Oriental silk swept the upper class nobility throughout Europe, these objects from foreign countries also began to become popular in the Central Plains.  On the side of the ship.  A young man with an oriental face was pale, bent over, and vomiting violently. The topsy-turvy waves made him feel like he was on a roller coaster. The little food he had eaten before boarding the boat had all returned to the sea.  "Jia Sheng, you are seasick, haha, it doesn't matter, as long as you get used to it, it was the same when I, Dikar, went to sea with my teacher for the first time." Behind the young man, there was a man with a round body and curly hair.  The fat man laughed and stood firmly on the deck with his legs spread apart. Looking at him, he looked like he was standing on land.  "Dekar, you are bragging again. When the teacher accepted you as a disciple, you were already over eighty years old. How could you go out on a boat again?" On the deck of the ship, an old man with messy hair and a red nose lowered his head and concentrated.  While studying a picture from the Eastern Qin Dynasty, he sarcastically said.  "Gmethius, you old guy, don't think that I'm afraid of you. If you don't believe me, let's compete again." Being stabbed, Dikar's face turned red and he said angrily.  "Andy, Gemmi, when you two arrive at Haifa Port, you will know that riding a horse is very comfortable, and it is much more refreshing than taking a boat." After a long time, the young man who had just calmed down finally had the idea to fight back.  Strength, he said to two old guys who were more than thirty years older than him.  "Jia Sheng, the Shenwu Emperor you mentioned who invented this map logo is really in Babylon." Gemisius stared at the parchment in his hand and asked.  "Of course, but the city of Babylon has been renamed Xin'an City. It won't be long before you see an eastern city rising along the two rivers." Jia Sheng smiled and nodded proudly.  Lyceum College.  The school founded by the great ancient Greek thinker Aristotle, and the original versions of the works of Socrates, Plato and others can be found here. It can be said that the essence of Western civilization is here.  Dikar and Gemisius.  These two slovenly guys were the two new prostitutes acquired by Aristotle's wife Theophrastus in his later years. Compared with the teachers who guarded the Lyceum Academy conscientiously, what these two prostitutes did was nothing.  Because, it really loses the identity of a college professor and a Western bachelor.  A young man named Jia Sheng came from the State of Qin. He was one of the young envoys under Lu Jia. Born in Luoyang, he was just a little boy with a runny nose ten years ago.  Ten years later, as the most famous and talented scholar in Sanchuan County, Jia Yi began to become famous in the land of Guanzhong.  ?????In recent years, when it comes to debaters.  Lu Jia, a great debater who traveled all over the country and successfully lobbied South Vietnam, Wusun, and the Jews, was the well-deserved number one.  Later, Kuai Tong and Zhao Ping also occupied a place in their respective fields of expertise.  ???????????????????????????????????????: ?????????????????????????:?????????? Talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the country for 500 years.  More than ten years to generate interest.  Coupled with the huge wealth brought by expeditions, the lives of the people of Qin have been greatly improved. In the past, the land annexation and the contradiction of more people and less land that appeared in the bottleneck stage of social and economic development are not prominent in Qin.  This is attributed to the Western Expedition launched by Li Yuan.  "Going to the West to dig for gold - those brave men who followed the army have made a fortune." "Brothers, if we miss this opportunity, we will have no choice but to stay here in the countryside without any future.  How about, go out and have a try, what are the risks? We are still young and can withstand the hardships. " Young people in Guanzhong, Guandong, and Jiangdong said goodbye to their parents and relatives one by one, and embarked on the unknown road to the west. There is hope among them.  Among the warriors who joined the Qin army and fought in all directions, there were also talented men who were well-read in scriptures and literate in writing.  Jia Yi, a great talent in Luoyang.  Jia Yi could almost recite the deeds of these ancestors from memory. Originally, he thought that the Qin State was so powerful that there was no room for him to develop as an eloquent debater. But when Li Yuan led the Western Expedition Army to open up one country after another  After being exposed to a battlefield that the people of Qin could not imagine, Jia Yi found that he had thought wrong.  Qin State, which has a huge territory, needs moreTalented people worked for him, and when Lu Jia was getting older, young Jia Yi and others finally got their chance.  Now, it depends on whether you can catch it. Jia Yi knows that among the people led by Lu Jia, there are many who have their eyes on the position of the number one diplomat.  Maybe his last name was, so he had to be surprised.  This time, following the caravan to the Greek Peninsula, and with a sharp tongue, as well as a miniature map and sand table that were not secrets in the East, Jia Yi got two of the most famous Lyceum Academy in Greece.  The favor of a famous professor, and under his lobbying, Dikar and Gemisius even came up with the idea of ????traveling to the East.  (To be continued.)
