"Da Qin...oh, it should be Rome.

This country is far stronger than Anxu or Kushan, with a population of 40 to 50 million. Its territory is not inferior to that of our great man. It is a great country that can be compared with our great man.

Before going west, Bei Zhi looked through the classics hidden in Chang'an and found that in the 12th year of Yongyuan more than 90 years ago, a Roman envoy came to our Han Dynasty to ask for an enquiries, but I thought that Rome was so powerful that it would not be a submissive country or merchants below.

Then there was the ninth year of Yanxi, and some envoys who claimed to be from Rome came to Luoyang."

Liu Yu said at this time, "I remembered it, but this happened.

At that time, it seemed that it was reported by Rinan County, Jiaozhou. King An Dun of the Qin Dynasty sent an envoy to offer treasures such as ivory, rhino horns, tortoiseshells, etc.."

Xiao Meng smiled and said, "These are all specialties in Jiaozhou, and there are probably fakes, and 80% of them are fakes by Daqin merchants.

But thanks to these two so-called messengers, I learned some of the situation in Rome in advance, so I arrived at Rest. In Rest, I found some scholars and merchants from Rome, and then I learned the details of Rome.

More than two hundred years ago, a hero named Caesar in Rome, who conquered all countries and political enemies. He was about to be king but was assassinated.

Later, his adopted son Augustus followed his will, wiped out the princes and ruled Rome.

Later, his son succeeded to the throne, and he passed on from generation to generation. If he had no son or his son could not bear to succeed, he would take virtuous and kind as his adopted son. It has been two hundred years and more than ten generations. Today, Rome is like our great man, and civil strife has occurred."

Lu Zhi and Liu Yu couldn't help but frown slightly when they heard this.

Although the adopted son also had the right to inherit the throne in the Han Dynasty, he rarely did such a slut in inheriting the throne.

"Tell me the causes and consequences of this civil strife." Ma Qiang said.

Xiao Meng nodded and said, "If you want to talk about the root cause of this civil strife, it is because of the assassinated Roman King Conmod.

The first five Roman kings of Commod had no direct blood relationship, and at most they were kinship. They took each other as adopted sons, made them crown princes, and then passed the throne.

All five people were called wise kings, so Rome was prosperous in national strength and the Ku Mansion was prosperous.

According to Roman merchants and scholars, these five kings were called the Five Sages.

It is worth mentioning that in the past hundred years, the Five Sages have gradually unified the laws, road traffic, weights and measures, currency and even built the Great Wall in the north."

Ma Qiang couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth after hearing this.

It makes sense that Rome is called Daqin.

However, these things that were unified by Rome gradually collapsed in the chaos that followed nearly two thousand years, turning Europe into a mess.

"After the Five Sages, the one who ascended the throne was Conmaud, the son of the last Five Sages, Aurelius.

When Commod was young, he was appointed as the crown prince because his two brothers died of illness one after another. Sixteen years ago, Aurelius died of illness in the war against the Hu people. At the age of twenty, he inherited the throne and negotiated with the Hu people in the north ended the war.

But in the fourteenth year, two years after he ascended the throne, he encountered an assassination. It is said that his sister was the one who assassinated him. Therefore, he hated government affairs, was keen on having fun, and sold official positions and even sold three official positions twenty-five times a year.

Rome began to decline rapidly. Four years ago, someone planned to assassinate him, but some warriors succeeded in helping the king. Commod was furious and arrested him in the capital of Rome.

But soon afterwards, Commod was assassinated. The powerful minister Letus elected Commod's son-in-law Petinacus as the new king, but he could not convince the public at all. The Roman states rebelled and fought against each other, just like the great man a few years ago.

During the melee, a Rogers rose from the border army, claiming that he had a book on Commod's fight against thieves in his hand, and raised an army in the border areas of Rome. It took only two years to capture most of the Roman territory and even began to attack Anxue."

Is it such a coincidence?

Lu Zhi and Liu Yu couldn't help but smack their tongues.

The situation in Rome is too similar to that of the great man.

They all had monarchs who were not doing their jobs, and then there were powerful ministers who dared to assassinate the monarch. In the end, the world was in chaos and the princes fought in a mess.

Even... there is a man who started his military achievements quickly swept across various prefectures and counties...

Ma Qiang sighed, he guessed what the two of them were thinking.

I'm afraid the two of them will feel even more terrifying to think about what they want to say later...

"General, although this Roman affairs are interesting, they have nothing to do with my great man?"

"Well, it doesn't matter.

Xiao Meng, take out that thing.”

Xiao Meng nodded and stood up, opened the box, and took out a locked box.

Then, the lock was opened, and Lu Zhi and Liu Yu looked at the box curiously, and Xiao Meng slowly took out the things in the box.

The dark iron pipes and wooden handles... This is a musket!

"Is this?" Lu Zhi looked at Ma Qiang in confusion.

What do you do to bring out the musket?

Lu Zhi and the other two were not worried about what Ma Qiang wanted to do. They really wanted to kill them, and they didn’t need to do so many things. A few warriors were enough.

"This musket was purchased by Xiao Meng at Anxi with a lot of money to get Anxi merchants to the Roman army.

Yes, this is not my Hebei musket, but a Roman musket from thousands of miles away!”

"What?"

“Rome also has firearms?”

Not to mention Lu Zhi and Liu Yu were surprised, Ma Qiang's eyes almost fell out when he saw this thing for the first time.

Although this musket has a rough texture, it is also a musket!

This is by no means something that the Romans of this era could have created.

Let’s not talk about the problem of smelting and forging technology, when did you have black gunpowder in Rome?

It was indeed black gunpowder. When the musket of Little Mumbai was intimate, the Roman military gave a lot of black gunpowder...

"General! What's going on?

Isn’t a firearm the top secret technique of your master?

Why does Rome have it?"

Now, Lu Zhi knows why Ma Qiang asked Xiao Meng to talk about so many things about Rome. After a long time, the root of it is here!

Both Lu Zhi and Liu Yu knew the power of firearms. They thought they were unique to China, but who would have thought that there were also in the west.

"Firearm... is indeed the top secret technique of my master..."

Ma Qiang rubbed his head and began to make up lies.

It’s not OK to make it up. A lie has to be summed up with countless lies.

Ma Qiang can't admit to Lu Zhi that he traveled through time, and there may be someone traveling through time in the west.

“This matter is also very complicated to say.

Simply put, twenty years ago, a Roman was sold to Youzhou as a slave. When the man from our school went out, he saw that the man was pitiful, so he rescued him and adopted him under his sect.

I didn’t expect that if I were not my race, my heart would be different!

A few years later, this man secretly learned the secret techniques of our master and wanted to escape. After being discovered, he ignited the gunpowder depot of our master and completely exploded our master.

I feel sorry for my entire master, and I am the only one left... I thought he had already been killed, but now it seems that he has escaped back to Rome, and he has been doing well in Rome using various secret techniques he had learned secretly in my master...

When this man was in Youzhou, he was bullied and hated me very much. He thought that the people in my sect had already influenced him, but now it seems that he has always kept those hatreds in his heart.
