The Mediterranean is magnificent, and this vast sea between Europe, Africa and Asia has nurtured the splendid civilization that the West is proud of.

Among these ancient civilizations, Greek civilization is the most dazzling one.

Many islands, different cultures, and sloops traveling between the islands are connected with city-state civilizations that are scattered and have different characteristics.

The greatest epic of the West is written here.

The Olympic flame is lit here.

Unfortunately, all this glory ended in the third century BC, and the rise of Macedonia ended the history of the Greeks' reading city-confederacy alliance, and after that, the Greeks never stood up again.

A Homer epic and a Trojan War not only made mythical heroes such as Akhathias and Hector, but also made the beautiful Helen, a beautiful woman who was in trouble with the country, known to everyone. No one has explored the real history, and the passionate Odyssey heroes who excited the Greeks also gradually sank into the dust of history under the great hand of time.

This decline caused.

It is not only the defeat of the country, but also the departure of ancestors.

Homer, Socrates, Plato, Alexotus, these prophets who were famous in Western history have all gone with the wind, and their masters, whether they are Theophrastos, Dikar, or Gmetheus, are really crazy about learning, but when it comes to talent, they are far inferior to teachers.

In this regard, Alexander actually had to bear a great responsibility, because his most proud ** was not someone else, but the Macedonian Alexander who destroyed Greece.

February 6th.

In the evening, the setting sun leaves a long list of afterglows on the sea.

Haifa Bay.

Just like a large storage box with a huge mouth open, it is receiving the breath of merchant ships from various places along the Mediterranean coast. In the winter of the last year, the first major cooperation intention reached between the Jews and Qin was to expand the port in the deep waters of the Haifa Bay area.

With the participation of the Qin State's advanced technical forces, the construction of the dock at Haifa Port was very smooth. The plan began very secretly. The Jews deliberately concealed the alliance with the Qin State. David struggled too much in the cracks between the two neighboring countries of Macedonia and Ptolemy that although he was determined to resist, he was still afraid.

The first person to reveal this plan was Greek businessmen from the Bay of Beirut and Haifa Bay. The first thing they discovered was a group of yellow-skinned people appeared on the coast. These Oriental people with not tall figures but their temperaments were intimidating, as if they appeared out of thin air, making people suspicious.

The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Compared with Macedonia, which is mostly inland countries and is not close to the Aegean Sea and the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, the Greeks, who advocate industry and commerce, and use ships as means of transportation, need to know more about the actions of the Qin army.

"What are these Qin people doing here? How did they get along with the Jews?"

"Look, what is that? They are building a dock. Is this going to build a fleet and cross-sea expedition? How is this possible? Even if the Qin people have warships, they will not be able to find enough sailors."

"Stop thinking about it. Nowadays, as long as you have money, you can get anything. On this coast, you can only hear what kind of people you can't find, captain, sailor, paddler, deckman, some."

With deep worries, merchants from different countries brought what they saw back to the country. Unfortunately, their reminders have little reference value for the Mediterranean countries that are under the threat of the Romans.

"The Phoenicians are building ports. Are they crazy? There are two wars in that place for three days. Don't be occupied by others before the dock is built?" In the temple on Crete, one of the origins of Greek civilization, the elders of the Crete Citizens' Congress looked contemptuous when they heard the news.

The area of ​​the Dead Sea in the Mediterranean where the Jews were located was used to the Phoenicians. The elders of Crete were used to this title. In their opinion, there was no difference between the Jews and the Phoenicians.

This was true for the Cretans. On the Greek Peninsula, the upper class of Greece, who was trapped in the civil war between the Peloponnese and the Deluxe League, had no interest at all.

——.

Regardless of whether the upper nobles are interested or not.

With the opening of the Silk Road across the Asian continent, trade between the East and the West has become more prosperous. Not only did Europeans from the West arrive in the East, but also the Qin people from the East arrive in the West. They are not only for commercial interests, but also represent the interests of the Qin State.

The 16th year of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The first month, spring.

A triangular sloop sailing ship with the banner of Greek merchant groups is sailing around Cyprus, the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean. The spinnaker is the most advanced technology of this era. It can ensure that sailors can control the speed and direction of the ship smoothly regardless of whether in the downwind or against the wind.

This is a large merchant ship with thirty-six crew members. Its lower cabin is filled with Western artifacts just exchanged from the Apennine Peninsula and Crete.

Transactions have always been two-way. While Eastern silk swept across the upper class of European nobles, these objects from foreign countries began to become popular in the Central Plains.

On the side of the ship.

A young man with an oriental appearance was pale, bent over and vomiting violently. The upside-down waves made him eat some food before boarding the boat, and now all he had returned to the sea.

"Jia Sheng, you're seasick, haha, it's okay, as long as you get used to it, it was the same when I, Dikar, went to sea with my teacher for the first time."

Behind the young man, a fat man with round body and curly hair laughed, and stood firmly on the deck with his feet spread out. Looking at him, he looked like he was standing on land.

"Dikar, you are bragging again. When the teacher accepted you as a 80-year-old, how could he take a boat to sea again?" On the deck of the ship, an old man with a messy hair lowered his head and concentrated on studying a picture from the Eastern Qin Dynasty, while sarcastically.

"Gmetheus, you old guy, don't think I'm afraid of you. If you don't believe me, let's compete again." Dikar's face turned red and he said in a fury after being exposed to his cowhide.

"Andy, Gemi, you two, after you arrive at Haifa Port, you will know that riding a horse is very comfortable and much more refreshing than taking a boat." After a long time, the young man who had just recovered finally had the strength to fight back and said to the two old guys who were over thirty years older than him.

"Jia Sheng, the Emperor Shenwu who invented this map logo was really in Babylon." Gemetheus asked, staring at the parchment scroll in his hand.

"Of course, however, Babylon City has been renamed Xin'an City. It won't take long to see an eastern city rising in the Two Rivers." Jia Sheng smiled and nodded proudly.

Luke'ang Academy.

The school founded by the great ancient Greek thinker Alexander, and the works of Socrates, Plato and others can be found here. It can be said that the essence of Western civilization is here.

Dikar and Gmetheus.

These two unkempt guys are two newly acquired by Alexander's Taeflastus in his later years. Compared with the teachers who worked diligently to protect Luke'ang's College, the actions of these two guys are really detrimental to the identity of a professor and a Western Grand Secretary.

The young man named Jia Sheng came from Qin. He was one of the young missions under Lu Jia. Born in Luoyang, he was just a runny boy ten years ago. Ten years later, as the most famous and talented scholar in Sanchuan County, Jia Yi began to become increasingly loud in the land of Guanzhong.

In recent years, when it comes to debaters.

Lu Jia, a great debater who traveled around the world and successfully lobbled Nanyue, Wusun, and Jews, was the well-deserved first person. Later, Kuai Tong, Zhaoping and others also gained a place in their respective fields of expertise.

There are talented people in the country who have been in charge of each of them for five hundred years.

More than ten years of rebirth.

Coupled with the huge wealth brought by the expeditions, the lives of the Qin people have greatly improved. The land annexation that had reached a bottleneck stage in the past, and the contradiction of large populations and small lands in the Qin State was not prominent, thanks to the Western Expedition launched by Li Yuan.

"Go to the West to hunt for gold—the brave people who follow the army have made a fortune."

"Brothers, if we miss this opportunity, we can only stay in this countryside with no prospects. How about it? Go out and try it out, what are the risks? We are still young and can withstand the tossing."

Young people in Guanzhong, Guandong and Jiangdong said goodbye to their parents and relatives one by one and embarked on the unknown road to the west. Among them, there were warriors who hoped to join the Qin army to fight in all directions, and there were also talented men who read scriptures and read literati.

Jia Yi, a talented man in Luoyang.

Jia Yi could almost memorize the deeds of these ancestors. Originally, he thought that Qin was so powerful that as a wise debater, he no longer had room to play. When Li Yuan led the Western Expedition army to open up one battlefield after another that the Qin people could not imagine, Jia Yi found that he was wrong.

The Qin State, which had a huge territory, needed more talents to serve it. When Lu Jia gradually grew old, the young Jia Yi and others finally waited for the opportunity.

Now, it depends on whether you can catch it. Jia Yi knows that among the **s Lu Jia led, there are many eyes staring at this diplomatic first person. If he competes with them in a normal manner, there is no possibility of a surname, so he will be surprised.

This time, with the caravan to the Greek Peninsula, and with a tongue that is not a bad thing, as well as a reduced-formed map that was not a secret in the East, Jia Yi was favored by two famous professors in the most famous Luke'an Academy in Greece. Under his lobbying, Dikar and Gmetheus even had the idea of ​​traveling to the East. (To be continued.)
