The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 394 Confluence of Civilizations ([-])
"Leonardo, special envoy of Emperor Aurelian of the Roman Empire, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Han."

"Madavikia, the special envoy of King Shapur I of the Persian Empire, pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Han."

"Omar, special envoy of Queen Zanubia of Palmyra, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Han..."

On October 270, [-] AD, the official envoys of Rome, Persia, and Palmyra also met with Liu Chan, the current emperor of the Han Empire.

The whole world celebrates, and all nations come to Korea.Such a scene is the dream of any emperor.What's more, these are the envoys of the three great powers whose national power is not inferior to the current big man, not the weak chickens who claimed to be a country in one city a while ago.Therefore, Liu Chan at this time was also full of smiles, and his mental state seemed extremely excited.

"You envoys are very polite. The so-called 'it is such a joy to have friends from afar'. I heard the introduction of Honglu Temple Cheng, and I know that the Three Kingdoms are far away from my big man. But what is more clear is that the national strength of the Three Kingdoms is also extremely strong. , such a country is my friend of the big man. Of course, the big man feels very honored. Come on, give the three envoys a seat."

In the early Han Dynasty, under the efforts of Xiao He and others.Ministers are more dignified in front of the emperor.You can 'sit and talk'.At this time, Ji Han still followed the tradition of the former Han Dynasty. During the great court meeting, the high-ranking officials who are qualified to discuss matters in the hall have their own seats.But since the traverser took out the stool, the previous kneeling has been cancelled, and everyone sat on a comfortable stool.Therefore, after the envoys of the Three Kingdoms took their seats at this time, there was no discomfort.

The next agenda has entered a streamlined operation: the envoys of the Three Kingdoms presented letters of credence and gifts to Liu Chan in turn.Liu Chan also gave the gift in return very decently.The first process for both parties went well.

As a country ruled by traversers, Ji Han didn't give much in return.Guan Yi didn't have the problem of Sui Yangdi's great success and disregarding face for the sake of face: the envoy started from Liangzhou and went all the way to the hinterland of his country for thousands of miles. Who doesn't know what's going on in your country?If you keep whitewashing the peace and pretending to be generous in return gifts, what else can you gain besides being secretly treated as a fool?

After the two parties returned the gift.The envoys of the Three Kingdoms looked at each other, and then stood up in unison.

"Your Majesty..."

Three different languages ​​sounded at the same time, making many ministers in the hall laugh.

Guan Yi smiled and stood up: "Three envoys, if you want to make a statement to His Majesty, please do so in order."

After their respective translations were completed, Leonardo, the envoy of Rome, spoke first: "Honorable Augustus, our Rome is the real and only country in this world that can be compared with a big man. According to the big country priority The principle, of course, should be that we speak first."

"Hey! You Rome is powerful? I don't know if the former emperor of your country, who is now serving as a slave in the stable of His Majesty Sha Zhongsha, agrees?"

"Huh, the two countries are at war, and the momentary victory or defeat doesn't explain much. Your Majesty Shapur, has not been defeated by a country like Palmyra. Then, according to your envoy's logic, should you Persia To speak after Palmyra?"

"That's a shameless sneak attack by the Palmyra people, it doesn't count."

"Then let's decide the order according to the strength of the country?"

"Yes! In terms of national strength, of course we are the strongest in Persia! So we should be the first to speak!"

Three envoys with different skin colors quarreled in the hall.But Ji Han's monarchs and ministers listened to the translation next to them, and they only felt that their eyes were opened.

The order of diplomatic occasions involves national dignity and cannot be disputed.The rulers and ministers of Ji Han understand this very well: in the diplomacy between Han and Wu, there are also many temptations and struggles between each other.But no matter what, the diplomacy of the Chinese countries, at least on the scene, basically maintained a form of fighting without breaking.Compared with the envoys of the three countries directly attacking each other, that is simply the most civilized.

"Hahahaha~~~Emissary of the Three Kingdoms, please stop arguing. My suggestion is that you should draw lots to decide the order of your speeches."

"What Augustus (Prime Minister, Regent) said, I agree with it."

As a result, after a round of draws, Rome ranked first.

Leonardo smiled demonstratively at the other two envoys, and then bowed to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Aurelian has quelled most of the rebellions in the country not long ago. Officially boarded the throne of Roman Emperor. His Majesty sincerely invites us to send a mission to visit Rome again."

Well, this is for me to shout for the legitimacy of his position, but that's okay.

Liu Chan nodded steadily: "Yes. This matter will be arranged by Da Sima."

"Chen Guan Yi leads the order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, and thank you Augustus. Your Majesty, this envoy came to Dahan this time. In addition to signing a business agreement with Dahan and exchanging their respective specialties. Following the orders of His Majesty Aurelian, we still need to complete The following things."

"Please come with your envoy one by one."

"First, improve academic exchanges. There are 30 scholars and 50 noble youths in the Roman mission led by the envoy this time. These scholars hope to stay in the Han Dynasty for three to five years to conduct exchanges with scholars from your country. Exchange and mutual confirmation. The youths of this country hope to study in the best school in Dahan, and if possible, His Majesty can arrange for them to serve in your country."

"I agree with this article. Well, Da Sima, what I mean is that Mr. Huangfu and Mr. Liu will be responsible for the exchange of scholars. Chang'an Mengxue will be responsible for the admission of teenagers. If there are outstanding students here in the future, they can also enter Studying in Longshouyuan and Wuzhangyuan colleges. How is it?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Augustus. Then I will talk about the second item. Our mission has 1000 guards this time. What His Majesty Aurelian means is that in the early this year when the Vandal invasion was suppressed, the dragon of your country The general performed extremely well. It can be seen that your country's military strategy must have its own unique features. Therefore, our country hopes to leave three established centurions to train with your soldiers. If necessary, you can also Participate in the battle against your country's rebellion. Of course, in this process, our country's military uniqueness will definitely not be hidden."

As soon as Leonardo said this, all the monarchs and ministers in the Jihan Dynasty were a little confused.

The one who reacted the fastest was Guan Yi, the traverser.After all, in modern society, military exchanges are actually very common.The benefits of doing so are also great-will there be a life-and-death annexation war between the Han and Rome?This is at least 1000 years later.

Therefore, military exchanges are completely fine.

After Guan Yi nodded slightly, Zhang Yi and the others came to their senses and agreed.The bigwigs in the military all expressed their views unanimously, and Liu Chan naturally followed suit.

"Third, our country is in great need of your country's white paper, soap, silk, porcelain and other items. However, in view of the fact that the Silk Road is too far away, and the land transportation volume is limited. And our country's demand for such items It is huge. Therefore, I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to allow the artisans accompanying our mission to enter the production workshops of the above four types of materials and learn from their masters. We are willing to pay any price your country proposes!"

Although he has no real power in his hands, even Liu Chan is very clear about what these things mean to Ji Han today.Although he has always had dangerous thoughts about Guan Yi in his heart, Mr. Adou also knows very clearly which tribe he is.

Therefore, Liu Chan firmly said no to this point: "I cannot agree to this request of your envoy."

Looking at Leonardo who was very disappointed, and the other two messengers who were also very disappointed beside him.Guan Yi smiled slightly: "I want the three envoys to know that I have just won a good sea port recently. Our country has already started to create the Maritime Silk Road. Therefore, the problem of transportation volume can be as fast as a year, and as slow as two years." , it can be completely resolved. If everything goes well, maybe the envoys have not had time to return to the country at that time."

"Oh, well, I hope I can see what Augustus said soon."

Next, Persia and Palmyra also made similar demands to Rome.The final result was that a total of 55 scholars from the Three Kingdoms stayed in the Han Dynasty, and a total of 110 noble youths studied.The number of officers and soldiers left by the three countries for military exchanges was 600.

The intersection of the civilizations of the top countries in the East and the West has finally reached an extremely high level thousands of years in advance because of the traveler.
