Chapter 98: Zhang Qian takes office as an envoy

Killing the Roman Empire means blocking hidden dangers from the source, and there will be no more humiliating history two thousand years later. The prospect is really wonderful. Zhou Yang was very excited and his voice was a little high.

Emperor Wu of Han, Li Guang, and Cheng did not know that they did not understand the reason why Zhou Yang was excited, but they also knew that if the Roman Empire could be killed, it would bring great benefits to the Han Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, the population alone would have a sharp increase in wealth. No one would refuse such a good thing.

What made Emperor Wu of Han and the others most happy was that Zhou Yang was the most authoritative general of the Han Dynasty. He had a good chance of success, and everyone laughed with a cracked mouth.

"Your Majesty, this matter is certainly a good thing, but the Roman Empire is too far away from the Han Dynasty. We must find out the customs and customs. We must know where to garrison troops and where to raise food and grass." Zhang Piqiang, who is well aware of the importance of mastering these information to the Han Dynasty.

"Yes, you can't just listen to Ma Hu's words." Emperor Wu of Han looked at Ma Hu, with an admiration in his eyes: "Although Ma Hu is familiar with the situation along the way, the west of the Western Regions is too broad, and it is impossible for him to understand it clearly alone. The great man must send someone to understand the situation along the way."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" Zhang Qian, who had not spoken, stepped forward and pleaded loudly.

"Zhang Qian, are you going?" Emperor Wu of Han was a little surprised and looked at his companion who was about the same age as him.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" Zhang Qian looked determined: "If you don't know the situation in the West, the army will likely encounter great trouble in the west. Although there are few people going west of the Western Regions, and it is extremely difficult and dangerous, I am willing to shed a lot of passion for the Han Dynasty!"

His voice is not high, but every word is full of perseverance, which makes people dare not doubt at all.

Looking at the young Zhang Qian, Emperor Wu of Han's eyes rolled around, and he wanted to speak, as if something was blocking his throat.

The most surprising thing is Zhou Yang. Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, opened the Silk Road, and influenced the world for more than two thousand years. The incident of Zhang Qian's mission has always been a beautiful story in Chinese history and has been praised by the world.

Logically speaking, when Zhou Yang came to the Han Dynasty, flapped his butterfly wings, changing the course of history, and Zhang Qian did not have to go on an envoy again. You should know that Zhang Qian's original intention of going to the Western Regions was not to open the Silk Road, but to change the strategic situation of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han knew from Hu Shang that the Dayuezhi and the Xiongnu in the Western Regions were deadly enemies, and the head of the Dayuezhi King became the wine vessel of the Shanyu. Considering that the Huns were powerful and relying on the Han Dynasty alone would make the Han Dynasty bear a heavy burden, he decided to send envoys to the Western Regions to form an alliance with the Dayuezhi to deal with the Huns together.

At that time, the Western Regions were a desperate territory, and to go to the Western Regions, they had to pass through the border of the Huns, and there were many dangers and no one was willing to go. Emperor Wu of Han sent a notice and asked the whole country. Zhang Qianyingmo led a team of few people to embark on the road to the Western Regions.

This trip took more than ten years and went through a lot of hardships. On the way, he was captured by the Huns, imprisoned for several years, and then fled, and then went on a mission to the Western Regions. Only a dozen of those who set out with Zhang Qian came back, and all the rest died on the way.

The reason why Zhang Qian was able to come back alive is that he had a family member who was born in Hu and was very loyal. This person had extraordinary archery skills. Whenever Zhang Qian and the others were hungry, he would eat some wild game, so Zhang Qian and the others did not starve to death.

Because of Zhou Yang's arrival, the strategic situation of the Han Dynasty was very different, and it did not require cooperation from the Western Regions, so it defeated the Huns. Zhou Yang originally thought that Zhang Qian's mission would not happen again, but unexpectedly, Zhang Qian asked for his order.

If Emperor Wu of Han was accurate, Zhang Qian faced greater difficulties than his mission to the Western Regions in history. In history, although there were barriers from the Huns, the Western Regions were not too far from the Han Dynasty and could still reach it. The Han Dynasty had to prepare to fight to Rome, which was thousands of miles away. The difficulties and obstacles can be imagined, and it was even more difficult than his mission to the historical one!

"Zhang Qian, you are so good! I'm sure!" Emperor Wu of Han patted Zhang Qian's shoulder a few times, applauding: "I am worthy of being my companion to read, have the courage and knowledge!"

"Thank you for your praise!" Zhang Qian was overjoyed, and he opened his mouth so hard that he could close his mouth, as if he was facing an unexpected abyss, but a broad road.

Zhou Yang saw it and praised it very much. No wonder Zhang Qian in history was able to open the Silk Road. He had a firm heart! It was precisely because Zhang Qian had such a firm heart that he could overcome all difficulties and dangers, open the Silk Road, and be famous in history!

"Young man! He is in full force! There is great potential!" Everyone couldn't help but praise him.

Wei Wan was the most happy and couldn't help but pick up his beard. As the teacher of Emperor Wu of Han and Zhang Qian, is there anything that makes him more happy than this?

"Emperor, although Zhang Qian is determined and able to endure hardships, I think that another person should be sent to assist Zhang Qian during this trip." Zhou Yang spoke to remind Emperor Wu of Han: "This trip is thousands of miles away, and multiple deputy envoys can do more."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Emperor Wu of Han couldn't help but agree, his eyes swept among the crowd, and before he could speak, someone asked for his order.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow Zhang Qian!" It's no one else, it's Nie Yi.

"Nie Yi, are you going?" Emperor Wu of Han was a little surprised: "You are the Marquis of Wanhu! You are not living a good life at home?"

The Marquis of Wanhu was a noble noble in the Han Dynasty. Many people looked up to him. As the Marquis of Wanhu, Nie Yi was successful and fame. There was no need to take any more risks. Although Emperor Wu of Han was extremely smart, he was still very surprised.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" Nie Yi's voice was not high, but it was unquestionable: "Your Majesty, I am a little ashamed of saying that! I cannot gallop on the battlefield like the flying general, General Cheng and others, and I cannot plan and win a thousand miles like the general. I can only find out the advantage of this news. If I don't go at this time, I will never have a chance again! Isn't it a pity to miss such a good opportunity?"

In the past, the Han Dynasty took the strategic task of defeating the Huns. Now, the Huns have been defeated, and the Han Dynasty is about to be peaceful in all four areas and there is no war to fight. If Emperor Wu of Han wanted to solve the hidden danger of the Roman Empire, Nie Yi would do nothing. Using troops thousands of miles away is the first event in Chinese history. If he did not participate in it, anyone would regret it.

"Okay! I'm sure!" Emperor Wu of Han said loudly, and kept slamming his high-highlights, and praised him: "The Han Dynasty is not only full of brave men, but also a hero like you who are selfless in planning a country. Why should the Han Dynasty not be prosperous? Why should the Rome be worried about not being destroyed?"

"Long live the great man!" Zhang Qian and Nie Yi's actions were very inspiring, and Li Guang and others cheered in unison.

Nie Yi's spy talent is unparalleled in the world, which is fully reflected in the Battle of Longcheng. He and Zhang Qian will definitely make contributions when they go there, and Zhou Yang is very pleased.

"You are ready first and learn some Hu language from Ma Hu, so that it will be convenient to go on a mission." Emperor Wu of Han shook his fist excitedly.

"Your Majesty, don't prepare anymore. Hu Yu, I can still deal with it." Nie Yi said with a smile.

"Can you speak Hu language?" Not only Emperor Wu of Han was surprised, but even Zhou Yang felt incredible.

"Your Majesty, if you want to inquire about the enemy's news, you have to change your appearance from time to time. During the years of inquiring about the news of the Huns, I sometimes also visited Hu Shang in the Western Regions and learned some Hu language." Nie Yi replied honestly.

"Ma Hu, you can take Nie Yi." Emperor Wu of Han turned his head and looked at Ma Hu.

"Can you speak our language? No, right?" Ma Hu didn't believe it. After questioning, he just finished a long list of gurgling words, which was very easy to speak and made people unable to understand.

What is unbelievable is that Nie Yi didn't even think about it. A long list of strange words appeared in his mouth. He was very skillful and was not inferior to Ma Hu.

"This is impossible! Impossible!" Ma Hu's eyes widened and looked at Nie Yi in disbelief. Suddenly, he stepped up and hugged Nie Yi in his arms. He laughed and said to Emperor Wu of Han: "Emperor, Nie Yi is not your Han Dynasty, but a brother! He said our words so well!"

"Haha!" There was no better recognition of Nie Yi than Ma Hu's actions, and everyone laughed.

"Zhang Qian, then you follow Nie Yi and learn while walking on the road." I really didn't expect that Nie Yi was so proficient in Hu language. Emperor Wu of Han was very pleased: "Select a group of strong, agile and strong-willed soldiers for you to protect you. Also, this painter is indispensable. They need to draw the mountains, rivers and geography along the way and record the customs and customs."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Qian and Nie Yi thanked each other in unison.

"Don't be idle either. Learn Hu language with Ma Hu." Emperor Wu of Han's eyes passed by Zhou Yang, Zhang Piqi, Li Guang and others. In the future, the language is very important, and it is beneficial to learn in advance.

Everyone would not object to this proposal and would accept the order in unison.

Zhang Qian and Nie Yi did what they said. After the preparations were completed, no matter the year was approaching, they would leave Chang'an and head for the Western Regions with their men.

Zhou Yang and the others followed Ma Hu to learn Hu language. Ma Hu has been to many places and has many languages, including Roman and Asian languages. Zhou Yang listened to it, stroked his forehead and thought to himself that he didn't know if English is useful at this time? Speaking of English, Zhou Yang still passed the CET-6. Although there is a gap with the expert level, he can at least deal with it. If it is useful, there will be much less difficulties in this language level.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Ma Hu sat opposite Zhou Yang, looked at Zhou Yang, raised his thumb and praised: "Master, I have spoken Hu to many people, but I am not as quick as you understand it! Great! Great!"

Zhou Yang, Zhang Piqi, Shen Gong, Zhufu Yan, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Wei Qing, and other people are not talented and well-known people? Of course, this level of language cannot prevent them.

"Ma Hu, I'll say something, can you understand?" Zhou Yang's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea.

"Master, say, say, say." Ma Hu was a little curious: "What do you want to say? I also know several Western Hu language."

"www.piaotian.comame?" Zhou Yang suddenly said something English.

"What did you say? Grandmaster, what you said is so strange!" Ma Hu blinked his eyes, not understanding, and scratched his forehead: "I know several kinds of Hu language, but I have never heard such strange words."

Zhou Yang shook his head and found that there was no popular English in the Western world. Zhou Yang's history is not good enough, so how could he know the origin of English and its popular history.

English is a popular language only two thousand years later. It is reasonable that Ma Hu didn't understand two thousand years ago, so Zhou Yang was not surprised.

"Oh!" Just when Zhou Yang thought the matter was over, Ma Hu suddenly leaned forward and grabbed Zhou Yang's shoulder. His eyes were wider than those of a cow's eyes. He looked at Zhou Yang in surprise: "Master, can you speak Germanic? What about the barbarian?"

"Germanic? Barbarian?" Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly became no smaller than Ma Hu, staring at Ma Hu. If it weren't for confirming that Ma Hu was a normal person, Zhou Yang would have thought that the tendons behind Ma Hu's neck were not in line.

English, the most popular language in the world, is the pride of Westerners, and Westerners believe that this is the symbol of their civilization. In Mahu's mouth, this is the language of barbarians, which is too unbelievable. If someone said this in modern society, what someone said would definitely be criticized and drowned.

"Master, how did you say it?" Mahu was even more surprised and stared at Zhou Yang: "I heard the barbaric Germanic slaves in the slave market in Rome. That's it! Oh, something is wrong, it seems to be pronunciation differently."

The more Ma Hu talked, the more confused he became. He couldn't stop scratching his forehead, and his eyes were full of blur.

"Germany slave?" Zhou Yang felt that the word Germanic was very familiar, and seemed to have heard it somewhere, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes and think about it. This word is so familiar, he must have heard it.

"Bang!" Zhou Yang slapped his thigh heavily and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the ancestor of the head of state! You're right, the head of state believes in pure blood. Germanic is the noblest nation. Other nations are only worthy of being slaves of the Germans, and they also launched World War II for this. Is the head of state too irresponsible? If he knew that his ancestors were called barbarians two thousand years ago, how would he feel?"

Zhou Yang shook his head violently and rejected this idea. The head of state was praised as a "great figure" by his followers. His knowledge must be extremely rich. Of course, he knew what kind of life his ancestors lived two thousand years ago. He said so, just an inspiring statement.

"Master, you haven't seen the German slaves, and you don't know how barbaric they are." A smile flashed through Mahu's eyes, which was ridiculed: "In your eyes, the Huns are barbarians, and they are uncivilized nations. In the eyes of the Romans, the Germans are also uncivilized barbarians, and their barbaric is better than the Huns. Let me tell you, they are wearing furs and tree clothes, and they have no skills in making clothes. They often have their chests and backs exposed. Even the Huns also have fur coats and fur hats!"

Zhou Yang looked at the curved hem deep clothes on his body. They were well-made and exquisite, which was much better than the fur coats and leather hats of the Huns. The Huns' clothes were much worse than those of the Germans, and they were barbaric enough.

"Also, what are the weapons of the Germans? They can't compare with the Huns!" Mahu was a talkative man. His words were opened and he kept going: "The Huns mainly used scimitars, bows and arrows. The Germans also had swords and arrows, but not many, and more weapons were stones and wooden sticks. Do you think they were barbarians?"

"It's barbaric enough!" Zhou Yang had to nod in agreement. There was no need for Ma Hu to exaggerate, his words were almost the same.

During the Roman period more than two thousand years ago, the greatest threat to the Roman Empire was the barbarians from the north, the Germans. The Germans were the ancestors of the current Germans. At that time, they were regarded as the most barbaric nation by the Roman Empire. In fact, the Germans were indeed barbarians at that time. Like the Huns, they were the best at destruction, but not good at building.

The reason why Europe fell into the darkness of the medieval times was closely related to the Germanic destruction of the Roman civilization. Of course, the Germanic people followed the Hun leader Attila and entered Italy to destroy the Roman civilization.

"In Rome, you can see many barbarians, not only Germans, but also Assyrians, Asians, African blacks, and in addition to this, there are also Gauls." Mahu was very interested, and he turned his fingers and said one by one, which was meaningless.

"Gallic people?" Zhou Yang's eyes widened again. Isn't this France known as the "Gallic rooster"? Why did they become barbarians again? Zhou Yang's interest also came and asked, "Mahu, talk about the Gauls."

"Master, are you interested in the Gauls? I'll say." The chatty man of Mahu likes to tell these anecdotes the most, his eyes shining, and he shouted: "Although the Gauls are barbarians, they are slightly better than the Germans. Their place is close to the Roman Empire, between the Roman Empire and the Germans. The Roman Empire repeatedly used military forces against Gauls and wanted to conquer Gauls, but they failed. The Gauls were not so easy to fight."

Gallic? Wasn’t Gaul conquered by Caesar? So, Caesar was not born yet and still had no power? Zhou Yang’s history is really not good enough.

"Mahu, have you heard of Caesar?" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and decided to ask.

"Caesar? Marshal, do you know the Caesar family?" Mahu's eyes rolled, feeling a little unbelievable.

"I have heard of this family, but I don't quite understand. Are there any amazing characters in this family?" Zhou Yang asked skillfully.

"This is a noble family, but no extraordinary people have appeared." Ma Hu certainly didn't know that Zhou Yang was a modern person. He had heard of Caesar's deeds more than two thousand years later and answered honestly: "Although this family is nothing extraordinary, they are quite skilled. Maluo is the son-in-law of this family."

After a pause, he explained to Zhou Yang: "In today's Rome, there are four people with the most powerful people. The first is Scipio, a famous general, with great military achievements and respected by the Romans. The other three are rising stars, namely Marius, Sula, and Qinna."

"Sula? Qin Na?" Zhou Yang's history was not very good, but he had a lot of understanding of Caesar's deeds, and his heart suddenly jumped: "That is to say, Caesar is not yet powerful yet? Or is he not born?"

Sula was Caesar's mortal enemy. He tried to kill Caesar several times but failed. Qin Na was Caesar's father-in-law. Marriott was Caesar's uncle. The reason why Caesar rose in Rome was largely due to the power of these two people.

Great figures like Caesar have not appeared yet. Rome is not an ironclad piece and has not yet formed Roman civilization. It is a good time to destroy Rome. You must not miss it! Zhou Yang clenched his fist hard and decided to do this!

"Master, haven't you said how you speak Germanic?" Mahu likes to break the pot and ask to the end.

"I heard people say it, so I learned a few words." Zhou Yang was full of wits, but he was thinking in his heart, how did English have anything to do with Germanic?
