After a year of bilateral conflict, I was so tired that I couldn't stand it. After the Chinese Empire adopted a commodity embargo policy, ** suddenly became much sadder.

First of all, whether it is gorgeous silk, exquisite porcelain, or glass products that can see clearly what is in the cup, or the kind of tea that makes people feel refreshed and relieved after drinking it.

Also, after the embargo, the copper material dug out was not known at all, except for making the copper basin. However, after a year of war, the ironware consumed a lot of money and was already in a state of insufficient income.

After a long period of consideration, after discovering that neither from Longyou, Hetao, nor from Shanxi, there was no way to open a passage for the cavalry to come and go, and to rage as much as possible. Jie Li Khan, who could not withstand internal pressure and did not want to continue the war, finally lowered his head and sent my old friend Kang Shuoli to Chang'an as an envoy.

The Jie Li Khan of Kangsouli brought a willingness to peace, hoping that both sides would forget the unhappiness of the past and focus on a new future. Jie Li Khan was willing to sign an alliance with our Chinese Empire to strictly observe peace. In addition, he naturally hoped to reopen the market, and hoped that both sides could continue the bartered trade method in the past.

Many civil and military ministers jumped up to oppose the shameless demands, believing that this was clearly because they had no choice but to give in to their Chinese Empire. However, they still said so openly, which was really shameless.

I can understand the thoughts and thoughts of these ministers, but now it is not the time to continue to face evil, because my Chinese Empire has not yet been unified, and I can shake hands and make peace with you first, at least we can focus on the Central Plains.

After taking down the Central Plains and the North seized the Silla Peninsula, the best time to pacify was to siege three sides. At least it is not the time. Keeping this strong enemy can also make the court court, so that the military and civilians of the Chinese Empire can be vigilant at all times, thus paying attention to the development of military and scientific research.

Nowadays, many of the products invented and created by this young master have entered the homes of ordinary people, such as cement, or porcelain. Khan, this thing is not my own, but glassware, which has at least entered the home of the rich.

As for glass mirrors, they are even regarded as treasures in the countries of Xitai. A small piece of glass mirror as big as a palm can even be exchanged for 100,000 Roman gold coins. This is definitely a number and wealth that makes people feel crazy.

It is said that the Byzantine emperor was the first to spend so much money to buy such a small mirror from the merchants. Then, countless wealthy businessmen from Xitai countries waved their wallets desperately, trying to get such an incredibly clear mirror.

But in the end, the merchant of the Chinese Empire only sold ten sides, and they were slightly smaller than the mirrors in the Byzantine Emperor's hand, and they were embedded in silver frames. This made the Byzantine Emperor very satisfied, because, in addition to the mirror he bought, the generous Chinese Empire merchant also gave him a set of transparent and crystal clear glass tea sets. When he saw the tea leaves stretching out in hot water, green and lush, he could smell a faint fragrance that only plants and trees could have. The tea was filled with sips of fragrance, and it could also relieve the fatigue.

This thing is also popular in the Western Thai countries. Although it is not as good as glass mirrors, it can be exchanged for equal weight of gold like silk. Where can I find such a good thing?

Although the merchant ships of the Chinese Empire could not directly reach the Xitai countries, we also have a way. We are currently in the Red Sea, occupying a borderless land, and built a cement city that is both wide and long and is guarded by five thousand elite soldiers of the Chinese Empire.

The goods will be unloaded here and then gathered. Then the merchants will take the goods from here. After more than a hundred miles, they will arrive at another small fortress on the other end of the Mediterranean. They are also stationed by soldiers of our Chinese Empire, and then sail there, and go straight to the Western Thai countries.

In order to choose these two suitable garrison locations and docks, it took a lot of effort from our ocean-going fleet. In addition, in order to obtain the safety of these two places, a radius of hundreds of miles was cleaned up. Therefore, the guy who was hostile to the outsiders of our Huaxia Empire was driven far away, but more natives were bribed by our people with various specialties from the Huaxia Empire.

This means that no one dares to peek at this land route of more than 100 miles. Of course, there are still necessary guards. Every time the goods are transported to the Mediterranean side, at least one thousand elite Chinese Empire cavalry will be escorted.

Wearing a composite armor with a chain, an extremely sharp horizontal knife on his waist, holding a cavalry spear, a steel crossbow and a round shield hanging on his butt, the horses were also carefully selected. With the equipment and strong combat power of the Chinese Empire soldiers, although only one thousand, they can match ten thousand.

Egypt, this ancient country, has now become stormy. It was conquered by Rome in the past, and then it was conquered by other ethnic groups again and again. Before, the cannibals had occupied a lot of Egypt's territory, and the Egyptian pharaoh could only shrank in Cairo and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed to the sky.

But now, the Chinese Empire has brought the gospel, allowing them to see what is an exquisite weapon, an outrageously strong armor, and of course, beautiful porcelain and luxurious silk are also indispensable, and they soon gained the friendship of Egyptian pharaohs.

After seeing the strength of the Expeditionary Force of the Chinese Empire, Egyptian pharaoh even had the idea of ​​paying to hire our Chinese Empire army to fight for them and drive away the despicable and shameless pagans, the Great Cannibal.

After careful consideration of this idea, we gave conditions after giving it a long time. First, the Egyptian Kingdom recognized that the distance between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean controlled by the Chinese Empire, which was about fifty miles wide belonged to the Chinese Empire.

In addition, although the Chinese Empire could not send troops, it could recruit a mercenary from the Chinese Empire to assist in the war. Of course, the commissions, supplies and other fees of this mercenary must be paid by the Kingdom of Egypt.

As for what they want, of course, how much money you give and how much we do. After harvesting the first batch of gold, the first batch of 5,000 mercenary cavalry set off.

Among these five thousand mercenaries, except for more than 100 high and middle-level officers who were Han, most of them were cavalry composed of nomadic peoples captured in the Hetao area or the Xihai area. The concept of mercenaries reminds us of these group of prisoners of war. After a move in the pile of prisoners of war, a large number of people came.

He can still make money in war and make a lot of money, and his family can still get guaranteed. For prisoners of war, he naturally cannot get it. The imperial army also sent a group of instructors to train them into a disciplined army, rather than the scattered soldiers in the past.

Although it was the captured nomadic army defeated by our Chinese Empire, its combat effectiveness was definitely far superior compared to the armies in other places in this era. Think about it, whether it was the Huns or the Turks, they were defeated by our Chinese Empire, but they were able to sweep across the Western continent. Therefore, after rigorous training, these nomadic cavalry were no less than the mission on the Persian Peninsula.

These mercenaries brought not only gold and wealth to the empire, but more importantly, they made the Chinese Empire closer to Western Asian countries such as Egypt and gained more friendship.

What made me most happy was the acquisition of control of the Suez Canal area in the future. Although this place was an enclave for my Chinese Empire, it also felt that this small and barren land was of no use to the Egyptians. That was because they were all ancient people more than a thousand years ago and they had no idea how important the opening of this canal would be for the world's maritime trade.

Although we have not dug the canal now, after all, the control of this land is still incomplete, but when we reach the future, we will definitely take this place completely in the hands of the empire.

Since the emergence of steam locomotives of the Huaxia Empire, countless vassal states cried and shouted that the Huaxia Empire could provide them with the technology of steam engines, and we would not sell them at all. All steam engines are large, and each one has a fixed number. Even if it is scrapped, it can only be returned to the steam engine factory for destruction.

There is no way, in order to keep it secret, it can only be like this. At least the Chinese Empire needs to be at the top of the world's technology. More importantly, science is an important process of civilization, so how can those barbarian countries also master it?

All scientific and technological personnel are required to sign confidentiality regulations and must strictly keep their work confidential. In addition, their spouses and relatives have no idea what their work is. This is to prevent people with ulterior motives from being noticed.

Various anti-espionage work is in full swing, and new works will be arrested every month. Some of the people of the Chinese Empire are even bribed by those vassal states to use money as works. After all, these people are found out, they are mates, or territories such as Luzon and Japanese islands.

Of course, those who have already dug up some important news naturally cannot be let go and thrown them into the labor camp, allowing them to accept the indoctrination and transformation of their thoughts. After working hard for a few years, they will not be released until they truly realize their mistakes.
