Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 581 The name of the scumbag is known to everyone from east to west
When Zhao Huan saw the long black hair under Anna's monk hat, it was indeed a disguise.

Whether it is the Holy Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire, in fact, they have always claimed to be the righteousness of the Roman Empire.On this point, there is no doubt.

By chance, Zhao Huan happened to know that the Romans were not blond, but black-haired and black-eyed.

In the Roman Empire, the physical features of blonde hair and blue eyes were equivalent to the left lapel of the barbarians of the Song Dynasty.

"It's a long journey, so I have to pretend to be a group of nuns. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Anna saw that the emperor of Song Dynasty already knew her true identity, so she put on her black hair.

This black hair has the appearance of a person from the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Then Princess Anna, why did you come to Song Dynasty with such a valuable gift?"

Anna looked at the emperor of Song Dynasty with some regret, her expression was full of memories.

Anna said with a sigh: "My father is a great monarch, he led the Roman Empire to complete the revival."

"He resisted the invasion of the Seljuk Turks from the east, broke the pressure of the Normans from the west, organized the Crusades, conquered the Holy City, and if he could regain the island of Asia Minor, my father would become a The new holy emperor, not the king."

"It's very similar to the emperor of the Song Dynasty. My father was a general before he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor."

Zhao Huan nodded. The heart disease of the Song Emperor was Yanyun Sixteen States, and the heart disease of the Roman Empire was the island of Asia Minor.

What this said is that his father's experience is very similar to that of Zhao Kuangyin, both of whom have transformed from a general to an emperor.

Zhao Huan looked at Anna with a smile, waiting for her to tell her purpose.

Anna continued to recall: "My father's way of handling the Crusades was somewhat inappropriate. He ordered the knights from the Kingdom of England, the Seventeenth Duchy of the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Duchy of Ross to be loyal to him."

"However, after these knights broke through the holy city, they did not obey their father's orders, but instead established the principality themselves."

"The meaning of recovering the holy city is only to get back the remains of the holy master, but there is no substantial territory and benefits."

"I believe that Your Majesty can understand my father's feelings."

Zhao Huan nodded and signaled Anna to continue, just like the generals who established themselves as kings after he regained the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

But the officials who fought in the Song Dynasty were first taught by teachers, and then by Yue Fei.

Up to now, there are no courtiers, so it is not wise to say that these two people are in rebellion, otherwise Zhao Huan can twist the head of this courtier and kick it like a ball.

This again involved the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, and he didn't bother to talk about such things with Anna, each had its own advantages.

"Father decided to formally decide to break with the Western Church completely. But the Eastern Church of the Roman Empire is not strong enough."

"Originally, I was the heir appointed by my father to the throne. However, my father's thoughts on the Eastern Expedition nobles and the church were different. He appointed my younger brother as the heir. In the end, John ascended the throne, and I was exiled."

"Humbert himself is the archbishop of the Western Church, but in the negotiation with his father, the negotiation failed. The universal Patriarch expelled all the members of the Eastern Church. My idea is to negotiate with the Western Church, but my father does not agree to do so. .”

"So, I came all the way to Longting. It was Bishop Humbert who wrote me a letter, talking about the great changes in the Eastern Continent. At that time, I decided to bring these books of wisdom to the Great Song Empire. Take your chances."

Zhao Huan finally understood the cause and effect of this incident. It was not a trivial matter for the Jin Kingdom to use troops against the Song Dynasty. Whoever won would be the king of the Eastern Continent.

In history, the Jin people won, but now it is Da Song who wins.

Zhao Huan looked at Anna, and asked puzzledly: "The journey has been hard, but the Song Dynasty is too far away from the Roman Empire, and tens of thousands of miles away from your Byzantium. Can I help you? Come and meet me here." Take a chance?"

Anna said solemnly: "The Persian Governor's Mansion in the former Tang Dynasty extended the tentacles of the Central Plains Dynasty to the Mediterranean Sea and the vicinity of the Holy City."

"The Protectorate of Persia?" Zhao Huan muttered to himself with some doubts.

[Reminder of historical events: The Persian Protectorate, during the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, established the Governor's Mansion in Jiling City in Persia, appointed the Persian prince Belus as the governor, and awarded Belus as the right Weiwei general, under the Anxi Dadu Protectorate . 】

[And in the ninth year of Tianbao (751 A.D.), Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi, led an army of [-] to attack the country of Shi (now Uzbekistan), defeated the country of Shi and captured the king and prince of the country of Shi. 】

Looking at the system introduction, Zhao Huan wished he could slap himself in the face!

What is the goal he set, far away from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

But the more you look at this goal, the more difficult it is to achieve.

"Your Majesty?" Anna looked at the dazed emperor suspiciously. What's the matter?
Zhao Huan asked suspiciously: "Well, what are your thoughts? Let me help you pull your brother from the throne of the Roman Empire? I don't have such a powerful force to influence the Roman Empire."

Anna took a look at the Great Song Emperor. The emperor's desire for territory was written all over his face!

"What will happen in the future can only be seen by the great Holy Lord, and I have accepted the guidance of the Holy Lord to come to Da Song." Anna said meaningfully.

But she went on to say: "My respected majesty, my younger brother John is a hero. He has the same benevolence as your revered majesty. He is a good man."

"His strategy is the same as mine. When I left, he was comforting the wounds brought to the empire by continuous wars for 50 years. When I left, he had already reached a covenant with the Western Church."

"I just want to be able to contribute to the Roman Empire."

It was only then that Zhao Huan realized that he had misunderstood Anna's intention. He thought that Anna was going to help her reset, but now it seems that it is not.

"Sincerely implore Your Majesty, send envoys to the Roman Empire, reopen the Silk Road, and bring more prosperity and knowledge to the Roman Empire. Use the advances of the Song Dynasty to sweep away the ignorance of the Roman Empire, and replace the Roman Empire with the prosperity of the Song Dynasty lag behind." Anna said sincerely.

Restart the Silk Road?

When Anna said this purpose, Zhao Huan's heart was pounding!

Anna continued to use the aria to say: "Depart from Chang'an in China, cross the Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions, cross the desert to Byzantium, pass through the Principality of Ross, reach the Kingdom of France, travel and trade in Europe, and finally arrive at the water city of Venice, take a boat to Athens and Tianfang .”

"This route is recorded in the documents of the Roman Empire, and it is also recorded in the classics of the Central Plains Dynasty."

"This Silk Road once created the prosperity of the Eastern Dynasty Han Empire, and also created the prosperity of the Roman Empire."

"Restart the Silk Road and revive the Central Plains Dynasty and the Roman Empire. This is the purpose of the Great Song Dynasty where Anna came all the way, Your Majesty."

Zhao Huan opened the Kanyu map and looked at it for a long time, then said: "Princess Anna is a good lobbyist, you convinced me."

The significance of restarting the Silk Road is not just as simple as commerce.

For example, to restart the Silk Road in the early stage, it is necessary to conduct a survey of the countries in the Western Regions. It is very reasonable to install Chazi from the Imperial City Division along the way to collect information on the countries in the Western Regions.

After regaining the Western Regions, the geographical location of the Western Regions is destined to be barren.

If it can open up trade between the East and the West, it will be of great significance to the stability and development of the Western Regions!It can also solve the product backlog caused by the high productivity in Dasong.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Zhao Huan had long written down the state affairs of the Silk Road in the schedule. Anna's invitation reminded Zhao Huan that he could make preparations in advance.

"If you just send envoys to communicate with other countries to reopen the Silk Road, it will not be difficult. I will give Princess Anna an answer after the court meeting." Zhao Huan didn't finish his sentence and sipped a cup of tea.

Anna's face was a little strange. She looked at the emperor of Song Dynasty, stared at Humbert in a daze, and asked Humbert in Greek: "Could it be that I, as the eldest princess of the Roman Empire, can't come here in person? To express the sincerity of my Roman Empire?"

"Is it difficult to send an envoy to Rome?"

Humbert also quickly replied in Greek: "It shouldn't be. The Eastern Dynasty likes to discuss everything. It should be like this. We have all heard that the Eastern Dynasty likes to procrastinate. It is not surprising that the Great Song Emperor comes."

Zhao Huan heard the two chattering a lot, but he couldn't understand.

[The history translator is turned on, simultaneously translating in Greek...]

Zhao Huan saw the content of the exchange between Anna and Humbert.

"Hehe, my system has finally worked hard, and I haven't lost the chain." Zhao Huan praised the system.

【Humph!I am strong! 】

Anna was still communicating with Humbert. The two thought they were communicating secretly, and Zhao Huan had real-time subtitles showing it here.

"But Humbert, we don't have much money to impress this greedy emperor." Anna said with a worried expression.

Humbert also frowned and said: "The significance of the Silk Road to the Roman Empire does not need to be said by Humbert. Princess Anna knows more than I do. Whether it is your father or John, the Roman Empire is now in decline. The root cause is still poverty.”

"Princess Anna, since she has come to Yanjing from Byzantium not far away, she must have gained something."

Anna looked at the emperor of the Song Dynasty for a long time before asking: "Bishop Humbert, I heard that the emperor of the Song Dynasty is an extremely lecherous person, and he even married a princess of Xixia."

Looking at Anna's words in the subtitles, Zhao Huan almost spit out his tea!
Has his lustful reputation spread to Longting? !Even the eldest princess of the Roman Empire knew it!
[Yes, the name of a scumbag is known to everyone from the Roman Empire to the Japanese Kingdom, from east to west.Convex! 】

Zhao Huan scratched his head. What Cao Xian did was to split and consume Xixia's strength, and then regain their homeland in one fell swoop.

Just pass it on, if you can reap the benefits.

Zhao Huan is an extreme pragmatist, as long as it is beneficial, let alone Li Qianshun's wife, it doesn't matter if it is Li Qianshun's mother.

Anyway, I don't favor them.

"Humbert, do you want to sacrifice to that extent for the empire?" Anna asked hesitantly, she looked at her figure, and said with a smile: "Humbert, the beauty and figure of the eldest princess of the Roman Empire, is very important to Song Dynasty." Is the emperor attractive enough?"

"No need!" Zhao Huan quickly interrupted the conversation between the two.

If we continue talking, I might be rumored to be a wicked dragon, and whoever catches me will die!

And he didn't forget, Zhu Lian, Zhang Tanghua and Liu Wan, they resisted the outsiders in Funing Palace.

This is his last stubbornness.

Anna covered her red lips lightly, and asked in surprise: "Well, rejecting a beautiful woman in the West is another kind of insult to women. But what is more important now is, does Your Majesty even understand Greek?"

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

　Thanks to "Ning Que Ai Sangsang" for the reward, thank you for your support.
