"If there is no such country, why do you want to restore the country?" After hearing that Mess Titianus IV wanted to restore the country in one port, the Qin Queen was puzzled to ask.

"The merchant is pursuing profit." King Ji smiled and replied: "It is called restoration of the country, but it is actually about business."

It is said that the book was written in the first year of Heping of Emperor Huan (150), and it was recorded in "Geography" written by Claudius Ptolemaeus. A merchant named Mess Titianus, took advantage of the truce of Rome and resting in peace and the two empires, and led a caravan to the Mediterranean stone tower (Lithinos Prygos) through the Euphrates River, and then sent his subordinates to continue to advance eastward, and finally arrived at the city of Sera, the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, namely Luoyang.

The historical materials cited by Ptolemy originated from the "Introduction to Geography" written by Marinus. It happened to be recorded in "The Chronicles of the Later Han" and "The Book of the Later Han", Monchidoule sent envoys to the court, and the time was consistent.

This trip, which was recorded in historical materials in the East and the West, is bound to be credible.

There are even more. It is said that when Mestienus led the caravan east, Gan Ying led the Han envoys all the way to accompany him. In the spring and summer of the 12th year of Yongyuan, he returned to the Western Regions. Then, the Monchidoule caravan continued to advance eastward through the Hexi Corridor. In November of the same year, he finally arrived in Luoyang.

As we all know, in the ninth year of Yongyuan, the guardian Ban Chao sent Gan Ying to the Qin Dynasty to reach the branch. He was about to save the sea, but he rested in peace on the west border and said to Ying: "The sea water is vast, and those who come and go will be saved after three months of good wind. If they encounter slow wind, there will be two years old. Therefore, everyone who enters the sea will bring three-year-old food. The sea is good at making people fall in love with the land, and there are several dead people." Ying stopped hearing this.

"The Silence West Boatman", Xu is the Monchidolhos merchant and Mess Tittianus himself.

In other words, for some reason, Mess Titianus, a great merchant in the Macedonian province of the Empire, did not want the Han envoys, and Sitong Rome.

In business, business. Just imagine that a monopoly business path that breaks the rest monopoly will have great benefits for Mess Titianus and the Mediterranean merchant alliance behind it.

Just like Shu, the poisonous path. Although there were merchants who had been in exchange for a long time, they were controlled by the powerful surnames of Yizhou and not used by the Han court. In the second year of Yuanfeng (109 BC), Emperor Wu did not hesitate to conquer soldiers and sent elite soldiers from Bashu. Although he beheaded hundreds of thousands, he still failed to achieve it. Until now, Emperor Ming of Han, in the 12th year of Yongping (69), Emperor Wu of Han worked hard to seek the poisonous path of Shu, and finally he was able to understand it. In the past 178 years, countless people of kindness and ambition went on one after another and buried their bones in a foreign land. The ambition of the empire must be seen in person.

Even if we think deeply, if the "salvation shipman in the West" was not Mess Tittianus himself. And Mess Tittianus would secretly inform the Roman consuls when he encountered the Ganying mission on the way. In order to prevent the rest and obstruction, the Roman envoy pretended to be a merchant and followed him to Luoyang to meet the Han emperor. It is very likely that he would be able to see him.

All kinds of guesses can be confirmed.

Mess Titianus was a Roman merchant along the Mediterranean. His caravans or missions successfully arrived in Luoyang.

After that, "In the ninth year of Emperor Huan Yanxi (166), King An Dun of the Qin Dynasty sent envoys to offer ivory, rhinoceros horns, and pine trees from the south of the sun, and then they were connected."

King Anton of the Great Qin Dynasty was the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (reigned 161-180). As the last Roman emperor of the Five Sages, during his reign, he launched a full-scale war against Anxu, conquered Taiseven and Seleucia, annexed the Mesopotamian Basin to the Persian Gulf. He opened up the sea to the eastern route. At the same time, the Roman-Aless War completely cut off the bulk silk fabrics from the Silk Road on the road. The merchant alliance on the east coast of the Mediterranean suffered huge losses. In order to recover the losses, merchants on the east coast of the Mediterranean turned from the Maritime Silk Road to the Han Dynasty.

Mess Titianus IV was one of the leaders of the merchants.

Because "the tribute he presented was not rare and he suspected that he had passed it over", the identity of "Envoy Anduan" was also suspected by the Han court.

Regardless of their identity, the Romans took the two paths of sea and land and arrived at the Han Dynasty. They were of great benefit to Rome and the two empires of the East and West. As the later generations of Wei Lue: Xirong Biography: "The Great Qin Road not only connects from the north of the sea, but also follows the south of the sea, and is comparable to the foreign barbarians in the seven counties of Jiaozhi. There is also a waterway connecting Yizhou Yongchang, so foreign objects appear in Yongchang."

In the 90th year, the blink of an eye. From the ancestors' first understanding of the Han Dynasty to the descendants, they met King Ji in person. The Mess Titianus family has been passed down for four generations.

The Western Merchant Alliance has a long history and has a wide influence. From the early medieval guilds to the heyday of business alliances, it almost runs through the Western Middle Ages.

For example, the Hanseatic League in northern Germany, the Cinque Ports in Southeast England, the Mackinac League in the New World of North America (i.e. the Great Lakes Alliance), etc., were first dominated by commercial covenants and driven by common interests, and then formed political alliances, and gradually formed a political and business alliance with loose structures and relatively independent of each other. A large merchant family, such as the House of Medici family in Florence, was born.

And the origin of everything was the first exchange between the Han Dynasty and Rome, the two empires of the East and West.

A great task was delivered to the hands of King Ji.

Going south to poison, the intersection of east and west, and go further.

It means that it is easy to start and then difficult to get. It is convenient for shipping, far beyond land transportation, which is one of them. Along the Silk Road, great powers are united, not like the poison of all countries, and it is easy to capture them. Ji State is related to it, with many advanced skills such as institutions, shipbuilding, and navigation, and it is unique in the world and leading for thousands of years.

It is even more toxic and has a tradition of being conquered by foreign civilizations.

Therefore, King Ji first took the body poisoning, which is the best choice.

It can be imagined that the "Purchase of Passing East" presented by Mess Titsanus IV is extremely precious to King Ji. Although it cannot be compared with the Medici family that ruled Florence for three hundred years later. However, the Mess Titsanus family is also a great Roman merchant who dominates the East and West trade routes.

Referring to the England Five Port Alliance. The ultimate goal of "begging for one port and restoring your homeland", Mess Titianus needs no more to say.

In a nutshell, the Mediterranean merchants headed by Mess Titianus are seeking to establish the first merchant alliance in the medieval era.

But he was flatly rejected by King Ji.

Just as King Ji regarded Taiping Tao as a cult, all the people in the country believed in Taiping, they would definitely not tolerate the three tribes. King Ji did not want to be divine power and chaotic government, nor did he want merchants to disrupt the country. This is in line with the connection between the world and heaven.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, under the frozen soil, undercurrents surged. Struggles from all sides, like hibernating beasts, hiding in the ice caves. They spy in secret and are ready to move.

In the Nine Battles, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong vs. Zhang He and Ma Chao.

This battle is related to the final ranking of martial arts. And the two sides are evenly matched, it must be a joyful battle.
