Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"That's good."

"The junior came here this time to ask Lord Chongguo for help."

"What help?"

"This is the son of His Royal Highness King Kang, Zhao Yan, King of Nanping County."

"Oh, it's Uncle Kang's child." A smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face, and his eyes fell on Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan said: "According to seniority, I should call you elder brother."

"Yes, Uncle Kang is okay?"

"He's all right."

"After all, Uncle Kang Wang is also 80 years old."

"81 years old."

"Time flies so fast!"

Zhao Chen suddenly realized that if the man was still alive, he would be 88 years old.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen felt infinite sadness in his heart.

He hated his father all his life, and he didn't really let go of it until he heard the news of his father's death.

That day, he cried for a whole day, shouting one sentence: I don't have a father anymore!

Later, he suddenly realized that although he was relegated to the Southern Continent, his father gave him the best batch of engineering talents, gave him many confidential blueprints of the imperial court, and selected a large number of administrative and military talents.

To make these people voluntarily follow him to such a wild place, in addition to the prestige of Zhao Guan's family, he also needs to spend a lot of money.

"What are you looking for from me?"

"The king of Nanping County hopes that you can provide the eighth generation warship of the Song Dynasty."

"What do you want the eighth-generation warship to do?"

"To Cairo."

"Cairo?"

"Yes."

Zhao Chen felt that the name seemed familiar, as if he had seen it in the book "Records of Western Countries".

"Is it in the Mediterranean area?"

"Yes."

"What are you going to do there?"

Zhao Yan said with burning eyes: "Go and conquer!"

"conquer?"

"Yes!"

"Conquer who?"

"Conquer the trade there."

"Is there going to be another war?"

"The war never ends."

"Why conquer so far away?"

"Because in the Mediterranean area, there is a new world."

"You mean Europa?"

"Yes."

"They're poor."

"But they have gold and silver."

"It's a mess over there," Zhao Chen said.

"It's very big and rich. As long as I occupy Cairo, I can use it as my base."

"Why should I help you?"

"It can connect the sea lines between the east and the west, and sell more goods from the southern continent."

Zhao Chen was silent for a long time before he said, "The world belongs to you young people. How many ships do you need?"

"Five."

"I asked the people below to prepare it for you."

"Thank you brother."

"Say hello to Uncle Kang Wang for me."

Chapter 1535 Lu You and Xin Qiji (Special Part 2)

Bursts of thick smoke billowed from the city, and the sounds of fighting inside slowly fell silent.

At the gate of the city, many people in rags and tattered clothes were watching. They looked at the orientals with strange weapons with puzzled and numb eyes.

Even when their city was captured, they did nothing.

In the eighth year of Longxing, Baghdad was captured by the Song army, and the main force of the Seljuk dynasty retreated steadily. The last sultan committed suicide in the Tigris River.

"Marshal, all the Turks have surrendered." A heroic officer came over on horseback.

"understood."

The old man sat on a chair, looked at the city in front of him with a telescope, and said, "Jiaxuan is really brave."

"Hahaha, it's because the marshal arranged well that I was able to quickly repel the Turkic reinforcements and capture this city."

Xin Qiji took off his helmet and all his armor, took the water from the person next to him, and drank it in big gulps.

This is an officer full of strength, his eyes are as sharp as the cold light in the night sky, and his aura is as vigorous as an ancient dragon.

"After this battle, I can also retire. I have already written to Tokyo, asking Jiaxuan to preside over the Anxi Protectorate."

"Marshal is old and strong, why do you say that!"

"It's time for me to retire and go back to my hometown. I haven't gone back for many years." Lu You smiled.

Xin Qiji took two bottles of apricot blossom wine from the wooden platform in front and handed one to Lu You.

"Actually, I have a question that I have been unable to figure out." Xin Qiji said, "Why is the Anxi Protectorate so interested in the Turkic territory? This place is [-] miles away from the capital, and the imperial court cannot effectively control it even if it is defeated."

"The imperial court is not very interested in this land, it's just that the Western Regions Trading Company wants to get profits from it."

"What about you, Marshal, are you also very interested in this profit?" Xin Qiji asked again.

Lu You smiled and said, "I'm not interested in money, I just help an old man fulfill his last wish."

This year, Lu You is already in his sixtieth year. He has been in the frontier fortress all year round, and he looks older than ordinary people.

However, his eyes were still piercing, as if thunder had gathered in them, and his voice was also loud and powerful.

Xin Qiji suddenly said: "Is it from Yingguan?"

"Yes." Lu You smiled lightly, "Yingguan has always wanted to defeat the main force of the Turkic people all his life."

"Why?"

"His idea is not complicated. He doesn't want the Turks to make a comeback one day, so he has always wanted to use force in the west. Since the civilian businessmen have profit needs there, it can just support the military to continue to invest force there. The old man also Here it is, I can fulfill the long-cherished wish of a winning officer in my lifetime, and I can rest in peace."

Xin Qiji thought for a while and said, "But as far as I know, the real rich place is further west. The Turkic people call them the Romans, and it's at the junction of the sea."

"I know the place you mentioned. There are two voices in the country about opening up business there. The Nanhai faction represents Kang Wang, who has always wanted to arrive by sea. At the end of the place, the ship could not go there, but King Kang insisted that a river could be artificially dug there to connect to the opposite sea, and use Cairo in Egypt as a base to expand the commercial route to Rome."

Xin Qiji said: "I heard that King Kang is already in his eighties, but he still has such ambitions?"

"It's just to fulfill someone's last wish."

Xin Qiji took a sip of wine and felt his whole body relax. His eyes softened, he glanced at Lu You next to him, and asked, "Oh, whose last wish does King Kang want to fulfill?"

Lu You didn't answer right away, but just looked up at the sky, which was as clear as blue.

Gusts of wind blew from a distance, Lu You slowly closed his eyes, as if he had returned to that era, the time when he was galloping on the grassland with Yue Yun.

It was as if he saw the royal face of Zhao Guan's family again.

I don't know how long it took before Lu You said: "His Royal Highness King Kang has actually lived in the shadow of the late emperor all his life. He wants to follow in the footsteps of the late emperor and do many things, but because of his special status, in the end Was arranged to go to Guangzhou."

Xin Qiji didn't speak, but just listened quietly.

Lu You continued: "That was the best arrangement the late emperor gave him. It not only kept him away from court disputes, but also gave him a large area to display his fists."

"King Kang wants to prove himself, and also wants to meet the late emperor after a hundred years, and tell the late emperor that he has already thought of the best way to go to Europa, and there is no problem with the business line between the east and the west."

Xin Qiji's heart moved, and he said, "Is it just like you, wanting to say something to Yingguan?"

"Yes." Lu You said with a sigh, "Those of you who haven't experienced that era can't understand this kind of mood. Everyone in that era has a knot in their hearts, and there are people who are regarded as role models in life. "

"Me too." Xin Qiji smiled, "My role model is Grand Master Yue, otherwise I wouldn't have joined the army."

Lu You calmed down, and suddenly became a little lost.

"Let's go, Jiaxuan, let's go back to the camp to drink and have a good meal. Let the merchants take care of the frontline affairs."

Xin Qiji and Lu You went to the camp together.

"Marshal, do you think Kang Wang's people arrived in Rome first, or our people first?"

"I don't know, but with your ability, Xin Jiaxuan, I'm afraid you have to arrive first."

"But I've always been in favor of the sea line. Isn't Rome also by the sea?"

"Whether it is right or wrong, leave it to future generations."

Chapter 1536 The Pan-Globalization Era (Special Part 3)

"You actually let a Europa get No.1 this semester!"

The old man sitting in front of the desk had a solemn look on his brows.

This person is Xu Guangqi, the dean of Hangzhou University.

As the world's number one university together with Bianjing University, Hangzhou University is unique in the field of natural science.

Song Yingxing, who was sitting on the side, said: "This Europa man is really not simple. He surpassed Galileo in physical talent."

Xu Guangqi asked: "The Galileo you are talking about is the one who was No. 40 in the general science department of Bianjing University 1 years ago?"

"Yes, that is also a genius." Song Yingxing said with emotion.

Xu Guangqi said: "When Galileo returned to the West from Bianjing, he helped the West build a new scientific system. The first generation of industry in the West was shaped by him. The Seventh Fleet of the Great Song Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Chariots 20 years ago. It’s also thanks to this.”

The atmosphere in the room was a little dignified.

Xu Guangqi lit a cigarette, which was brought back from the far side of the ocean.

Immediately, Xu Guangqi handed another one to Song Yingxing. Song Yingxing shook his head and said, "I'm smoking a cigar now, and it's produced by Yanggu Trading Company."

With that said, he took out a delicate box, took out two, and handed one to Xu Guangqi.

Yanggu is the place where the sun rises in Eastern myths and legends.

After the publication of "Natural Law" that year, the wave of humanism in the Song Dynasty lasted for more than 100 years.

During those more than 100 years, the entire Eastern civilization moved forward in twists and turns in the debate of ideas.

A large number of caravans not only passed through the Lingya Gate and arrived at Zhuchari, the southernmost point of Tianzhu, but also entered the coast of the Far West Continent, where they built a large-scale giant port, hired local dark-skinned aborigines, and mined mineral.

The farthest is to cross the vast Great East China Sea and enter the Yanggu Continent.

In the Yanggu Continent, Huaxia discovered crops such as corn and potatoes. At that time, the Gewu Institute sent a large number of scientific researchers to conduct comprehensive research on new species and cultivate new crops suitable for human citation.

These are not the most popular yet.

The most popular is tobacco.

Since the end of the era of humanism, the mind has been fully opened, and China has ushered in a technological explosion.

The appearance of the steam engine shortened the time from the core area of ​​Middle-earth to Yanggu, and a large amount of tobacco quickly entered Middle-earth.
