Chapter 118: The Chinese Prosperity (Final Chapter)

"Is this the arena in Rome?" Zhou Yang stood outside the arena and looked at it, very surprised. This was similar to the shape in the film and television dramas.

"These Romans are really cruel, they use murder to make fun of them!" Zhao Ponu was a little dissatisfied.

Gladiator, this profession was very popular in Rome and was an entertainment tool for the nobles and wealthy people. In the eyes of the Han people, it was a symbol of barbarism and blood.

"Go in and take a look!" Zhou Yang and the generals entered the arena and saw a passage inside and seats.

In the middle is an open space, which is for gladiators to fight. When fighting alone, fighting alone, killing groups, or even using battle formations is possible. It can be imagined that when the blood light bursts, shocking cheers will sound. How excited the nobles and the rich are.

"It's so cruel!" The generals couldn't help but comment and shook their heads.

"Brutality is a bit cruel, and it is very useful for maintaining the bravery of the Roman Empire!" Zhou Yang's vision was greater than that of the generals and saw more profoundly.

People who have been accustomed to blood since childhood will naturally not faint when they arrive on the battlefield. This is an important reason why the Roman legion can sweep across Europe. Of course, it is cruel for the gladiator itself.

After watching the arena, Zhou Yang and the others went to the Senate again. The Senate was really luxurious. The Senate was very grand and decorated magnificently. However, the Senate is no longer so solemn and sacred, but is covered with blood. The decorations inside were scattered and looted by the angry slaves.

"Send someone to demolish the Senate!" Zhou Yang inspected for a while and decided not to leave anything worth remembering for the Romans.

The Senate had a sacred status in the minds of the Romans. If it stayed, it would be like leaving a disaster. Of course, Zhou Yang would not do that kind of stupid thing.

"No!" Zhao Ponu took the order loudly.

The demolition of the Senate did not require the efforts of the Han army. As soon as the news came out, the slaves rushed to the front and quickly demolished the Senate.

For slaves, the Senate was one of the things they hated the most. Many Roman commands were issued from here. The Roman legions destroyed their hometowns and made them lose their freedom. The root cause was here.

"Master, look, there are so many treasures!" The generals stared at the treasure in front of them, and their eyes were straightened.

The treasures in front of me were piled up like mountains, gold and silver, pearls, jade, tortoiseshell, ivory, and precious utensils... countless, and Zhou Yang could not tell the eye to turn it.

During its rise, the Roman Empire destroyed many countries, and all the treasures of these countries became the Roman Empire. Now, they have fallen into the hands of the Han army, and there are naturally countless.

Zhou Yang defeated the Huns and seized many treasures, not so many.

"These things can be used for many years as military pay!" Zhou Yang sighed.

The Han Dynasty sent troops this time, not much. It was mainly because Zhou Yang implemented a strategy of fighting to support the war, which achieved excellent results. The Han army advanced westward and the treasures seized were enough for the Han army to spend decades. However, the biggest investment was obtained in Rome.

"The more you are, the better!" Zhou Yang was very pleased. When fighting, it was necessary to fight, so that he could become stronger and stronger.

These days, Zhou Yang has traveled around the city of Rome, enjoying the exotic style and handling military and political affairs. Time flies very quickly.

A few days later, Wei Qing and Li Guang arrived one after another. Zhou Yang sent someone to send Dongfang Shuo to discuss with him about dealing with Western affairs.

Not long after Dongfang Shuo arrived, Cheng Buzhi pacified Spain and came to Rome.

In the battle of Spain, there was almost no fight. The reason was very simple. The Roman Empire had already perished, the Roman legion was not very motivated and his morale was low. Although Qin tried every means to deal with Cheng Buzhi, he easily solved it for Cheng Buzhi. Even Qin himself became a prisoner of the Han army.

At this point, all the plans for the Han Dynasty's Western Expedition were realized!

Successfully achieved!

The Roman Empire, the cradle of Western civilization, no longer exists. Two thousand years later, threats from the West will not reappear. The Opium War and the Eight-Nation Alliance will not reappear!

When Zhou Yang thought of this, he was very happy. If this is the case, what regrets should he regret?

"It's all here!" Zhou Yang looked around and couldn't help but smile.

"Haha!" Dongfang Shuo, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Cheng Bushi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Zhang Tong, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui and others all smiled like pistachios.

"This time we advanced westward, we made a great achievement, which was very successful!" Zhou Yang first gave the conclusion: "This is the first successful military use of thousands of miles in the history of China and humanity! Although Alexander built a huge empire thousands of miles away, there is still a gap with us!"

"Yes!" The generals greatly appreciated this statement and couldn't help but agree.

"But, the matter is not finished!" Zhou Yang changed his tone and looked solemn: "Expanding territory is not just about conquering the land, but also about managing it well! Just conquering, not managing it well, that is the Huns, not the Han Dynasty! The reason why Alexander's huge empire collapsed quickly was that he was in his life for too short and did not manage it well, which eventually led to collapse! The Han Dynasty conquered the vast land, which is a good thing and a bad thing!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yang stopped, looked at the generals, and then said, "I know that you still have an idea in your heart and want to fight again! This is a good thing. I am proud of your ambitions! But I want to tell you that you can't fight now! Because the front line of the Han Dynasty has been long enough, if it continues, it will collapse completely and our victory will be in danger! What we need to do now is to govern it quickly! Completely integrate the land we conquered together and become a part of the bloodline of the Han Dynasty! Only in this way can our victory last forever!"

"Yes!" Dongfang Shuo took the conversation and said with emotion: "If I say it from my heart, I really want to kill the Gauls and Germans! However, the front line of the Han Dynasty has been stretched for a long time. I cannot do this at the moment. I have to manage it first and then fight them! With the combat power of the Gauls and Germans, it will only allow them to exist for a little longer!"

"It's time to govern!" Although the generals were unwilling to cease the war, they also understood that what Zhou Yang said was the truth.

"Master, how should we manage it?" Wei Qing asked.

Zhou Yang stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the map, and said, "Now, the land we conquered is far more than thousands of miles away. These places are rich and rich, some are poor, and some are rich. I plan to build four strategic bases for the Han Dynasty: the Kingdom of Bendu, Rome, the Seleucid Empire and Egypt."

"Yes!" These four places are the richest. If the base is built, the benefits to the Han Dynasty will be obvious.

"The most important thing is that the base of the Bendu Kingdom is a link connecting the Han Dynasty and Rome, and it is the top priority. Fortunately, after this period of governance, it has been very effective!" Zhou Yang was very satisfied with the current situation of the Bendu Kingdom: "Even so, it is still not enough, and it needs to be further governed. Secondly, Rome, which is the base of the Han Dynasty heading north and attacking Gaul and Germanic, must be managed well! Needless to say, Seleucid and Egypt."

After walking back, he looked at the generals and said, "This matter is very important, the task is very heavy, and it will take not short time to achieve our goals, ten years, twenty, or even longer. Before these four bases are completely stabilized, the war will be suspended. For the Gauls and Germans, it is just a lesson to teach them, and there is no need to destroy them. It is not too late to deal with them after the governance is done."

A brief pause: "You don't have to worry, maybe you can't accomplish this, but there are many talented people in the Han Dynasty, and there will be heroes to complete this. Li Ling and Huo Qubing, they will accomplish this!"

"Ling'er! Haha!" As soon as Li Ling was mentioned, Li Guang's eyes narrowed together.

It can be imagined that in the foreseeable future, Li Ling and Huo Qubing will surely become the pillars of the Han Dynasty, and their main battlefield was in Europe. With these talents, it was only a matter of time before the Han Dynasty pacified Gaul and Germanic.

"Now, the Roman Empire conquered the territory not wide, and it was not time to govern it. The people of all ethnic groups in the territory were divided into pieces. They had no sense of belonging and would not recognize Rome. This was a good opportunity for the Han Dynasty to govern. Don't miss it." Zhou Yang knew that there was no civilization in the Western world that they recognized. This was a good opportunity to export Chinese civilization.

As long as it operates well, it is inevitable that the West will accept Chinese civilization, because it is taking advantage of the situation.

"Yes!" The generals nodded, agreeing very much.

Especially Dongfang Shuo, he was most proficient in political affairs, admired Zhou Yang from the bottom of his heart and nodded fiercely.

"To govern the place well, it is not enough to rely on the great man alone. The people here must also let the people here govern together." Zhou Yang knew the importance of integrating the people here: "The great man not only needs to give them freedom, equality, and wealth, but also let them become officials. Of course, they must be loyal to the great man!"

"This is not enough. The Han Dynasty also had to send people to the West to teach them Chinese civilization. It also had to select smart, smart and loyal people from here and go to Chang'an to study. When they have finished their studies and return to the West, that is the best publicity to the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty's power and virtue will be announced to the public through their mouths!" Zhou Yang waved his right hand heavily, which was a very, very important thing.

The effect of this matter is obvious and no one will object.

"Master, these days, Roman women always come to tease their brothers, what should I do?" Li Guang asked suddenly.

"Haha!" Such things happen if you don't encounter ten times a day, and you will encounter eight or seven times a day. Who said that the customs of Rome are so open?

"Do you still need to ask? Please leave seeds for brothers!" Zhou Yang knew the benefits of this move: "Of course, we must strictly abide by military discipline, not by force. We can only be voluntary, and money can be used!"

Hundreds of thousands of Han troops were in the West. If they had sex with Western women and gave birth to children, they would be connected by blood and their sense of identity with the Han Dynasty would be stronger. Zhou Yang's wise man would not take advantage of it.

"Haha!" Li Guang asked with a big laugh, "Master, the Roman woman is tall and watery, and has a different charm. Master, you can get a few back."

"Forget it, I still like my three beautiful wives!" Zhou Yang shook his head and joked: "General Fei, do you have any interest in someone?"

"Master, don't talk nonsense! My son is here!" Li Guang's old face turned red.

"Haha!" The generals pointed at Li Guang and laughed.

"By the way, kill all the people of the Julius family, regardless of gender, age, and age!" Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was full of murderous intent.

The Julius family is the Caesar family. Zhou Yang’s history is not good enough, so he still knows about Caesar. During this period, Caesar was not born yet. As long as Caesar was killed all of Caesar’s ancestors, it would be a strange thing if there was Caesar.

No one will violate Zhou Yang's orders, and no one will ask them. Isn't it just a noble family? How big a matter?

"Prepare the gold, silver and treasures, and I will go back to Chang'an!" Zhou Yang's words were amazing.

"Master, are you going back?" Dongfang Shuo was very surprised and hurriedly said, "Master, you can't do without you here!"

"Xiao Shuozi, I've been fighting for so many years and I'm a little tired of it. Besides, I've killed a lot of people and don't want to kill them anymore. It's better to go back to Chang'an." Zhou Yang shook his head, his tone was not high, but he was very determined: "I have one thing I haven't done. I have to fight now and do it well."

"Master, what's the matter?" The generals' eyes widened and stared at Zhou Yang.

What can make Zhou Yang give up on the battle and do wholeheartedly will inevitably be a shocking event.

"It's nothing, it's just teaching and educating people." Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I'm okay with the method of math and calculation. I want to let the great man have more craftsmen and calculation masters in his lifetime to create better tools and sharper weapons!"

At present, it is a good opportunity for the Han Dynasty to export Chinese civilization, and what Zhou Yang needs to do is to implant modern civilization into the Han Dynasty. Only by allowing modern civilization to take root in the Han Dynasty can the Han Dynasty become stronger, and more advanced tools will appear, China's connection with the West will become closer, and the West will emerge as part of the Han Dynasty.

If this is not the case, it can be imagined that due to the distant geography, it was only a matter of time before the Han Dynasty lost the West. The Tang Dynasty once invaded Central Asia and approached the Middle East, but wasn’t it lost in the end?

Zhou Yang would not allow such a thing to happen again. To achieve this, there is only one way to implant modern civilization into the Han Dynasty.

To accomplish this, Zhou Yang needs to exhaust his whole life, spend more time, energy and hard work.

The matter agreed that Zhou Yang was preparing to return to Chang'an.

Zhou Yang wanted Dongfang Shuo to be in charge of political affairs and Wei Qing to be in charge of military affairs. The two of them divided the labor and would definitely manage the West. When the preparations were completed, Zhou Yang, Li Guang and Cheng did not know two veterans and led 30,000 Han troops back to Chang'an. They were not just team troops, but a huge transportation team.

During this Western Expedition, the Han army captured extremely rich seizures, including countless gold, silver, jewelry, tortoiseshell, jade, ivory, and artworks, and the team was continuous for thousands of miles.

The other prisoners who went to Chang'an with the Han army were Mitradati, Antioch, Sula, Mallor, and the selected loyal and reliable students.

After a long journey, Zhou Yang finally returned to the Han world. A sense of intimacy came, both excited and proud. What are the regrets of conquering the world and conquering such a vast land?

Chang'an, Bashang, there are crowds of people, and the people of Chang'an are very happy and come to greet each other.

"Long live the great man!"

The roars of the people resounded throughout the sky. They were so excited that even if they used all their words, they could not describe their joy.

The team continued. After three days and three nights, it had not yet reached its end. It can be seen how rich the harvest of this Western Expedition was.

"Brother-in-law!" As soon as Zhou Yang appeared, he pulled Emperor Wu of Han off the back of the horse. Emperor Wu of Han gave Zhou Yang a bear hug and patted Zhou Yang on his shoulder: "Brother-in-law, you are so awesome! So awesome! How long is this team?"

"It's not too long, it's just a thousand miles!" Zhou Yang was also surprised when he saw such a long team. After a long time, his surprise faded and he said it was easy.

"Hiss!" Emperor Wu of Han, who had always been brave, also took a breath and complained: "Thousands of miles, isn't it long?"

"Your Majesty, this has been reduced and reduced. Otherwise, it would be no problem to have tens of thousands of miles long. Your Majesty, hurry up and expand Chang'an!" Zhou Yang joked with a smile.

"Okay! Expand Chang'an! Chang'an is a little smaller!" Emperor Wu of Han nodded fiercely and agreed readily.

There were too many people coming to greet him, so Zhou Yangguang worked for a long time when he was present. When he returned to Chang'an, he also gave banquets and celebrated these things, and he had been busy for several days.

A month later, he finally settled down. The excited hearts of the Han people finally calmed down. Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh.

On this day, Emperor Wu of Han summoned Zhou Yang to the Yangxin Palace, sat with Zhou Yang on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you have made such a great contribution to the Han Dynasty. I will be promoted to you well! Just be the prime minister!"

"Your Majesty, I am about to tell you something, I am going to resign!" Zhou Yang shook his head.

"Resigning from office?" Emperor Wu of Han jumped up suddenly: "Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense! Do you think that I am a foolish monarch and you have made great contributions, so I hate you, want to kill you, and punish you? Say!"

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen finished speaking!"

Zhou Yang smiled and pulled Emperor Wu of Han to sit down: "Emperor, I have a very important thing to do. I cannot devote my energy to being an official. I want to teach and educate people wholeheartedly and train a group of talents for the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty, you have never been to the West and don't know how big the West is. The place we have built now is just a small piece. However, without talents and more advanced tools, we can't fight anymore! Therefore, teaching and educating people is the fundamental!"

"Brother-in-law, I know you are loyal. But how can I explain to the people of the world when you resign from office?" Emperor Wu of Han frowned: "Talent is very important! But this cannot be done!"

"Your Majesty, this is easy to deal with. Just say that I was injured in an arrow and died without hesitation!" Zhou Yang was very determined: "Your Majesty, I have no other wishes. Just this one, please help me!"

Zhou Yang is a general, and he has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and arrow injuries are the best excuse.

"Brother-in-law, let me think carefully. This is too big!" Emperor Wu of Han frowned very tightly: "Brother-in-law, you have to know that my decree will be gone from now on, and there will be no brother-in-law as a man! Even if you are alive, you will not be able to show up."

"Your Majesty, this is not difficult!" Zhou Yang had already thought about it: "Isn't there a Wangu Hall? Isn't it a joyful and happy place in the Wangu Hall, and I also do things for the Han Dynasty. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

The Mohist disciples are the best students. If they let them learn modern scientific and technological theories and then spread them, they will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Brother-in-law, you are so!" Emperor Wu of Han was very helpless.

After Emperor Wu of Han's decree, news of Zhou Yang's death came out, and the Han people cried. This was a great hero who saved the Han Dynasty. They were all like a loss of their parents and every family paid tribute to them.

In Chang'an City, there is an unusual building, which is a newly built higher education institution called "Dahan Institute of Technology", which brings together the smartest engineering and technical minds of the Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yang walked into a room with bamboo slips. The people in the room stood up and bowed to salute: "I've seen sir!"

"Hello, all the students, my name is Luo Yu!" Zhou Yang glanced at the students and said, "Sit down! I will explain the principle of gunpowder to you today!"

At Zhou Yang's mansion, Su Jian came in with a pretty boy.

"I've seen Da...Mr. Luo!" Su Jian greeted Zhou Yang.

"Su Jian, sit down!" Zhou Yang called Su Jian to sit down and asked, "You are not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Luo, this is my son, please take it under your own sect!" Su Jian shouted to the boy: "Wu'er, see Mr. Luo quickly!"

"Su Wu?" Zhou Yang was very surprised.

Su Wu has been shepherding the sheep for 19 years, and has been so energetic that many heroes have moved many heroes. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Su Jian's son.
Chapter completed!
