Chapter 799: The Lord of Suez’s Decision
It only took about a quarter of an hour for the Han soldiers to attack the city and open the city gate. The Han soldiers used muskets on the city wall to shoot at the defenders on the city wall. As long as the defenders raised their heads, they would be killed. Their bows and arrows had basically no effect.
Few people present paid attention to the fact that many defenders were secretly killed by flying knives.
Liu Xin was leisurely walking around. He seemed to be admiring the scenery outside the city of Alexandria. The Han soldiers were moving quickly around him. The soldiers and people in the city raised their hands and began to surrender before they knew what was happening.
.
An Alexandria soldier saw Liu Xin with a big Han face, shouted loudly and charged towards Liu Xin, but before he had taken a few steps, a flying knife flew across his neck, and the soldier fell to the ground without knowing he was
How was killed.
Liu Xin walked step by step towards the most prosperous place in the city. More and more soldiers from the Han Dynasty entered Alexandria. Liu Xin saw a garrison of thousands of Han people fighting against Brigadier Fu Wei. Fu Wei only led three soldiers.
More than a hundred people fired volleys of muskets, killing the opponent step by step. However, there was also a super-class general in the opponent's team who was very strong. Fu Wei couldn't take it down even if he tried to take it personally. Liu Xin glanced at the opponent lightly, and soon that commander
The guard was killed by flying knives and fell to the ground. Fu Wei glanced at Liu Xin and charged towards the Duke's Mansion. Only by taking down the Zijinlan family could this battle end quickly.
When Liu Xin entered the Duke's Mansion, he saw Duke Zijinlan and his family members kneeling on the ground and trembling. Duke Zijinlan was kneeling on the ground explaining to Brigadier Fu Wei. When Liu Xin came in, all the soldiers looked at Liu Xin, as did Zijinlan.
Looking up at Liu Xin, he saw Liu Xin's eyes going deep into the sea. He felt lost after just one glance. This is Liu Xin's ability after reaching the fourth realm. He can feel a person's basic thoughts, which is fear.
Angry or excited.
"Please forgive me. Our Zijinlan family did not go against the Han Empire. Our emperor captured the man. I am a noble and should be treated as a prisoner as a noble." Although Duke Zijinlan did not know who Liu Xin was, he
Still kneeling at Liu Xin's feet, he said.
"You speak Chinese very well, and you must have traded with me Han Dynasty a lot. The Roman emperor arrested my Han general, and this has nothing to do with you. I once asked people to notify the lords of all the towns along the way that they should leave early if they don't want to be involved.
If you did not leave but closed the city gate to stop him, you are the enemy of the Han Dynasty.
The treatment of noble prisoners, these are the rules of your Roman Empire, why should we, the Han Empire, abide by them?" Liu Xin looked at Duke Zijinlan and said.
"I, Alexander City, have been doing very good business with the Han caravans. If you keep me, the Zijinlan family will always be friends of the Han Empire. In the Roman Empire, there are many things that can only go smoothly if we take action." Duke Zijinlan shouted loudly to the Han Empire.
Duke Zijinlan could feel Liu Xin's contempt for him. Although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, judging from the respect of the Han soldiers, his status must be much nobler than that of Gan Ning in the Han fleet.
"No, if you take the city of Carthage, there will be many nobles in the entire Roman Empire who are willing to cooperate with the Han Empire. If you want to survive, just be your prisoner. Everything you have now has no meaning to the Han Empire.
.A word of advice, if you play tricks, you will definitely lose everything you have now." Liu Xin said lightly.
"You are...the Emperor of the Han Dynasty?" Duke Zijinlan said in surprise.
Liu Xin ignored him and turned around to leave the Duke's Palace. He asked the Lord of Suez to lead his soldiers to guard all the prisoners. He then selected 3,000 soldiers from Alexandria as auxiliaries to help the Han soldiers transport supplies. He only stayed in Alexandria for one night.
, and then set off again the next day.
The Lord of Suez gained a lot from trade with the Han Dynasty. On the one hand, he hoped that the Han Dynasty could increase trade so that he could rely on the strength of the Gulf of Suez to become stronger. On the other hand, he was also worried that the Roman Empire would cause trouble before him.
The Han Empire had already shown him its strength. He had conquered the top five cities in the Roman Empire in half an hour. Now he was leaving Duke Zijinlan and the local people in his hands. If he was an ambitious and capable person, he would definitely take this opportunity to annex the city.
The power of the Zijinlan family relies on the Han Dynasty to put pressure on other nobles.
As long as Liu Xin could break through the city of Carthage, the lord of Suez could quickly recruit a group of nobles to stand behind the Han Empire. The Han needed to support some Roman nobles who were close to the Han in the Roman Empire.
There is another thing. With the current technological power of the Han Dynasty, if they want to dig a canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, there will be no problem in thirty years. If the lord of Suez joins the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty digs the canal and takes ownership of the canal, then the entire Rome
The empire will be under the control of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xin's lifespan allows him to do this. He has a lifespan of more than four hundred years.
The Lord of Suez was very surprised when he heard that the Han Empire asked him to manage the captives in Alexandria. After the Han Empire informed him, he left directly without saying much more to him. When he came to the Duke's Palace, he was very tormented, but when he saw the palace
With all kinds of luxurious facilities, the Lord of Suez felt a little crueler in his heart.
"Lord of Suez, why don't you help me up quickly!" Duke Zijinlan was very angry when he saw the Lord of Suez entering his house. The other party broke into his house directly after the Han soldiers left. He must have colluded with the Han army, and as a
It is a capital offense for one of his subordinate lords to break in without his consent.
"Duke...,...you are a prisoner now. If you yell like this again, I will...I will...kill you!" The Lord of Suez saw that the fear in Duke Zijinlan's heart could not disappear at all, but when he said these words
At that moment, I suddenly became extremely happy.
Yes, the Zijinlan family is now his prisoner. Killing everyone in the Zijinlan family is also the responsibility of the Han army, but he will not admit that he did it. The Han empire is definitely not afraid of the trouble of killing the Zijinlan family.
, the other party is going to kill Carthage City. If I kill everyone in the Zijinlan family now, what will be the result!
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading! The more Lord Suez thinks about it, the more excited he becomes. Although his own territory is not the largest among the Zijinlan family’s territories, relying on the Han Empire, he has a chance to replace the Zijinlan family. Even if the Han Dynasty
The empire could not suppress the Roman Empire. At worst, he took a ship to the Han Empire, or even bought a large ship from the Han fleet. The Han soldiers left him and found a place to hide on both sides of the Red Sea. When the Han Empire came the next year, he
Come out again.
This will never affect your own money-making. If the Emperor of the Han Dynasty really caused a great setback to the Roman Empire's royal family this time, and the other party did not dare to touch the Han Empire's caravan in the future, then the Roman Empire's royal family would have to win over him.
"Lord of Suez, don't you want to live? If you realize your mistake now and kneel before me to repent, I may be able to spare your life!" Duke Zijinlan said with a cold face.
"No, respected Duke Zijinlan, maybe you haven't understood your current situation. You are my prisoner now. I can deal with you as I please. If you don't want to suffer, just be obedient and tell me how much Duke Zijinlan's money is.
Hidden somewhere. Maybe this Viscount will be happy and can plead for you in front of the Han Emperor and spare your life." The Lord of Suez felt confident and said to Lord Zijinlan with a smile.
"You...you...come here and capture him for me!" Duke Zijinlan shouted angrily.
"Dear Duke, all the soldiers in Alexandria have been taken away by the Han army, including all your guards and guards. Now everyone in Alexandria has become a prisoner. Those who can stand are all my people. May I ask if you are here?
Who are you calling?" A hint of madness appeared on the face of the Suez City Lord, which made Duke Zijinlan finally realize his situation.
"Viscount Suez, you know in your heart what I have done to you before. If you stop me now, just pretend that nothing has happened.
The Han Empire will never be in the Roman Empire forever. When the Han Empire leaves, the only thing waiting for you is hanging." Duke Zijinlan controlled his emotions and said to the Lord of Suez. He knew that he might really die, and he
No one in the family will survive if the Lord of Suez becomes crazy.
"Don't say those words, Dahan's big ship is beyond what we can imagine. It can withstand all the wind and waves on the sea. This lord can buy such a big ship if he joins Dahan. Now I can make a lot of money first. The Duke feels that I
How much can a lord earn?" the Lord of Suez asked with a smile.
Duke Zijinlan was terrified. He fell into the hands of the Suez City Lord, which would be worse than falling into the hands of the Han army. There would be no benefit from the Han army killing him, but if he died, the Suez City Lord could gain greater power.
Under torture to extract confessions, Duke Zijinlan fainted several times, but he never told where the family treasure was buried. However, his family members still couldn't bear it, and finally let the Lord of Suez know where the Zijinlan family treasure was buried.
.
In the Roman Empire, all nobles had the custom of burying treasures. When a family suffered a disaster, if they were in danger of annihilation, they would let some people leave early. If the territory was destroyed and the family was destroyed, they would get the treasure buried by the family.
Treasures, survivors can also rely on treasures to rebuild their families.
Another point is that when the family faces a crisis, they can use maintenance in exchange for the lives of family members. If all the money is placed in the house, and the enemy kills everyone and robs the treasure, there is no need to have too much contact with them.
The Lord of Suez escorted everyone in the Zijinlan family back to his own city of Suez, and asked Duke Zijinlan to write an order to temporarily handle the affairs of Zijinlan's territory. He still doesn't know whether the treasure he obtained is real.
, so he can only consider killing the members of the Zijinlan family after he gets the treasure. Now he has to control the other party while getting the other party to cooperate with him.
Liu Xin didn't care what the lord of Suez was doing. The soldiers captured from Alexandria were very cooperative. In the hearts of these ordinary people, they served all lords the same. Anyway, the essence of lords was exploitation, and the Han army promised to let them go within half a month.
They go back, and everyone gets a certain reward.
Although some prisoners did not believe it, they saw that those who escaped secretly were caught up and killed, and the Han army fed the prisoners very well. Not only did they eat enough white flour, but they also had meat to eat every day. This kind of life they used to
I dare not even think about it.
The Han army moved very fast all the way north. The carriages they used were shock-absorbing carriages used by the Han to pull goods, so the speed was not bad on the rugged roads. Following the map, the Han army moved north. They passed many villages and towns, and the opponent
They all fled early, and only when they encountered some larger cities did they put up some resistance. However, when the Han army entered the city, the nobles here fled long ago and no one was left.
The powerful city of Alexandria was instantly defeated by the Han army. They would be stupid if they didn't run away. In this way, Liu Xin followed the official road and approached the city of Carthage, and the news soon spread to the city of Carthage.
"Lord Attendant God, the Han Empire army has set out from the Gulf of Suez. It only took them half an hour to break through the city of Alexandria, and they marched 60 miles every day. There was no city along the way that could stop the Han army. This army is very powerful.
It is powerful, and the weapons he uses can kill enemies from a long distance." The Roman emperor came to the largest temple in Carthage and said to an old man who looked extremely old.
"Don't be so anxious, my Majesty! I heard the voice of God. This time the Emperor of Han came in person.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is the greatest emperor in the world today. His wisdom is more dazzling than his force. The powerful Emperor Kanishaka can only surrender in front of him, but our Roman Empire must do something, otherwise the whole world will soon
will be unified by the Han Dynasty.
We trade with the Han Dynasty. It seems that the empire has become prosperous everywhere, and national taxes have also increased. However, it is the nobles of our empire who have become poorer. Their wealth accumulated for hundreds of years has been almost emptied out in just four years.
Our Rome lost nearly half of its gold, silver and jewelry, while the silks, ceramics, and ironware lost by the Han Dynasty can be continuously manufactured. In this way, our Roman Empire is getting weaker and weaker, and the Han Empire is getting stronger and stronger. So we have to
We cannot completely prevent the Han Empire caravans from entering our country. The nobles who have learned to enjoy the exquisite goods of the Han will not give up the goods of the Han. Therefore, to solve the problem, we must deal with the high-level officials of the Han directly.
The strength of the commander of the Han Navy has also reached the level of a divine servant. Just because I am in the temple, I can borrow the power of the God Lord to confine his abilities. We just want to use the commander of the Han Navy to let them talk to us, so that both parties can
Start equal trade, otherwise the proud Han Empire will not talk to us as equals." The old man's voice was a little low, but the people next to him could hear it clearly.
