Not changed

The naval battle ended, the Qin army retreated, and the return of Hong was delighted. But when they saw the body cards in wooden boxes, everyone was indignant and sad. They had never killed women and children in battles, but the Qin people even killed boys who were not yet Fu Ji, which was no different from animals. With such grief, Naojiu and others met Fabius that night.

'After learning that the Chinniers killed the child, all General Chunni had a very angry face,' Fabius later wrote in "History of Rome", which recorded this mission that later decided the fate of Rome. But at this time, Fabius and his student Qin Qius were at a loss. They didn't know why they met their generals without a smile.

The late-night reception was just polite. After two days of rest, Fabius and Hong, who was heading to Xinying, transferred to Xinying a new Suzaku class to Xinying. On the way to Xinying, he saw the evacuated boat again. He wanted to talk to Hong, but Hong's face was full of melancholy since he arrived at Zhufanggang.

The king may have died in battle, and he will not know where he will not die in battle. Apart from the six divisions of Dou Yuzhi, and apart from the thousands of remaining troops of Zhu Fang, there is no other army in the country to fight. The Ying division fell and the east land fell, and the capital could only migrate to Penglai Island thousands of other islands...

When he left the country, the Chu State was obviously thriving, but when he returned, it was on the verge of destruction. It was difficult for Hong to accept this reality.

The speed of the new Suzaku-level can reach ten knots with a smooth wind. It took only four days to arrive in Xinying. April is the time when the peach blossoms in Xinying are in full bloom. A beautiful city stands in a sea of ​​pink flowers with a beautiful lake on its back. The melancholy red along the way, and Fabius, who cannot find the partner to talk to, cannot help but exclaim a burst of surprise.

Before their amazement was finished, they saw a three-headed phoenix flag flying on the pier. Including Hong, the sailors on the deck immediately stood at attention. This was the flag of Xiong Sheng, the eldest son of the entrusted state, who was entrusted with the regent. Xiong Sheng was there, and the ministers were there. This was the welcome ceremony for the Green Ocean Fleet to pass the triumphant suburbs from Xizhou.

The number quickly approached the dock. Everyone on the dock looked at Hong. Hong, who was waiting to get off the boat on the deck. He was wearing court clothes, holding axes, flags and drums, and walked straight to the flag to bow deeply to Xiong Sheng, and shouted: "I returned to Luyang and will not be a shame for Da Ao's destiny back then."

Xiong Sheng didn't know who Hong was and where Lu Yang was. He just wanted to leave the palace and move around Xinying. Hong reported that his black eyes looked at the old man with a smile. Mi holding his arm personally took over the axe and drums from Hong's hand, and replied on behalf of Xiong Sheng: "The general has fulfilled his mission and opened the waters of Lu Yang. This is a great achievement to save the country in danger and is a failure."

"I am grateful to Prince Xie Chang, Queen Ao." Mi's unparalleled achievements made Hong excited. When she returned to Zhufanggang and down-to-earth, she thought of the storm on the sea and the unfathomable sea. She often couldn't help but tremble. It seemed that she instantly returned to the sea, blown by the violent west wind and beaten by the huge waves. This made it difficult for him to imagine that he could cross the green ocean.

"The general opened the waterway of the green ocean, but this is an unparalleled achievement. However, the land of the red ocean spice has been lost..."

The significance of the Green Ocean Channel is well known to the doctors. The war lasted for five years, and all the wealth accumulated by Chu State over the years was completely eliminated. Even if the sand sea was victorious, it would be difficult to continue to destroy Qin State in terms of finance. Moving to Xinying, Xinying was not a good place. Even if there were some plains, it was not suitable for cultivation because of acidic soil, and the output of Dongzhou Valley was not as high as expected.

The only good news now is that there are no 600,000 boys who are evading, only more than 400,000, which greatly reduces the pressure on food. In addition to grain, hundreds of thousands of people in Xinying also need a large amount of cloth, and these require gold and silver to buy. Xiong Jing's previous plan was to monopolize the spice trade and cash out the gold and silver obtained from the trade in India in exchange for the materials needed by Chu State.

This plan is not impossible. India has a population of more than 20 million, and the Indus River, which is flooded regularly like the Nile River. The banks of the Ganges River are extremely fertile and cheap. The materials produced by more than 20 million people are enough to support half of the Chu State. However, this plan was interrupted because of the domestic war, and the result of recalling the Red Sea Fleet was that the Red Sea spice land changed hands.

"This is no danger." Zhaoshu, Lan She and others were very worried, but Hong was confident. When the ministers were about to hear him explain the whole story, he half turned around and pointed and said, "This time I return to the country, the envoys of the Roman Kingdom and I will return together."

"Entertainment of the Roman Kingdom?" Everyone looked at the number and saw two white envoys wearing white robes standing on the deck.

"The ones standing under the banner are King Chuni and the Senate?" When Hong reported his life, Fabius, who was standing on the deck, stared at the people under the dock. The only person he could consult was communication.

"No. King Chuni is still in the country, so he should be the queen and the prince." He observed his words and expressions, and obviously knew the level of the people on the dock better than Fabius. "The one wearing clothes should be the elders, the white skirts are the senior veterans, the yellow skirts, and the variegated skirts should be the ordinary veterans..."

"Queen..." Fabius's student Qin Qiwus looked at Queen Mi intently, and his voice seemed to be blocked. Shortly after giving birth, Mi was a little plump, her skin was crystal clear, and her eyes were as bright as autumn water. Even beautiful, they were divided into levels. In the increasing luxury and even in the Second Punic War, Rome, which specially formulated Opiyafa in the Second Punic War, Qin Qiwus had seen beautiful women, but he had never seen such elegant and noble beautiful women.

"Qinqius?Qinqius?" Fabius awakened his students. When his students turned around and looked at him, he frowned and said, "This may be very rude."

Fabius had already understood the etiquette of the Chuni people on the way. Even though Chuni was on the verge of a fall of the country, as long as he saw the heroic Chuni soldiers and the Chuni citizens working together, Fabius not only did not despise him at all, but instead felt a sense of respect.

The greatness of Rome is not in the territory of Rome, not in the wealth of the Senate, but in the unity of the Romans, every clan and every citizen are willing to fight for this country. This is also in the greatness of Chuni, even if their enemies conquered the entire continent, even if their legions were wiped out, the remaining soldiers still did not give up their loyal ministers to this country, and the remaining citizens still believed that they could restore their country.

When the envoy asked Fabius to get off the boat, Fabius caressed his white Toga and walked quickly towards the people on the pier. His claim was very simple, and he said, "The son of Mars, Fabius of the Fabius clan has seen the prince and queen, on behalf of the great Roman Senate, I pay tribute to the same great Senate of Chuni!"

Following him, Qinqius followed him and said, "Chinqius, son of Mars, of the Alimentus clan, met the prince and queen, and paid tribute to the great Senate of Chuni!"

Mars' son is the Romans. For the nobles, it is very important to show that their clan or family is extremely important; for the civilians, they should report their hometown. The simple introduction of the two surprised everyone. After the introduction of the two, Mi, who heard the translation of the news, hesitated and asked: "Will the envoy be safe along the way?"

"Thank you, Queen, we were all very good along the way." Fabius couldn't help but recall his ten-month mileage, and he couldn't help but feel dreamy. He was still on Mount Kabitor last summer and arrived in the easternmost Chuni this spring, which was unimaginable.

"The envoys come thousands of miles away, please go to the inn to rest first. Choose a date to enter the dynasty and submit their letter of state." The person who received the envoys of other countries was Dazai Jin Yi. The wharf is not a place to speak. Even if the state affairs of the two countries are no longer in the dynasty, they should discuss at the inn.

Fabius, who was excited in his heart, wanted to give a speech. When he heard Jin Yi mention the court, he had to press his excitement and accompanied by Jin Yi to the newly built inn. Hong watched Fabius leave and further explained: "I led the boat into the sea of ​​the earth. The Carthaginians stopped me, and the Carthaginians stopped me. The fleet without hooks is also the Carthaginians sinking..."

Last summer, Hong sent several pigeon messages in Rome, but he was very cunning. Chu State received two copies, and the others were lost. Now that he returned to Xinying, he needed to report to the court immediately.

"Please go to the main hall to speak." Standing on the dock was inconvenient to speak, Zhaoshu interrupted Hong when he heard the beginning, but he came to the main hall to talk. The Xinying Palace was still a courtyard-like three dynasties and three gates, right in Xinying, Hong continued his long narrative. Wu Gou Chang's disappearance was related to the Carthaginians, but the shipwreck was not the Carthaginians, but the Greeks on Crete. Wu Gou Chang was anchored in a kingdom on Crete under the leadership of the Carthaginians, and the accident occurred suddenly. Although there were precautions on the ship, it was not easy to leave the port and was sunk by a warship.

"In this way, Wu Gou Chang is not dead?" Mi and Xiong Sheng sat westward. Although Wu Gou Chang's fleet was a state affairs, the ship itself belonged to Wang Ting's property.

"Wei. After the Greeks hunted and killed them, they valued the profits and sold them to the Chu people who had not died as slaves." Hong said affirmatively. "Although I left Rome and returned to my country, the twill name had not returned. I have sent people a lot of money to redeem them."

"Shan." Zhaoshu and the other ministers present all praised Shan. The sinking of the sea boat and the cannon boat was a loss, but the greater loss was the death of Wu Gou Chang and others. If they could be redeemed, they must be redeemed.

"In this way, the Carthaginians are my enemy." Mi knew Xiong Jing's hope for Carthagin before, and now that such a thing happened between the two countries, it was obviously impossible to make friends with each other.
