When Serali and Salivi, the envoys sent by Rome to the Han Dynasty, came to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty, they wandered around Yecheng and deeply felt the wealth and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and then returned to their hometown with Liu Bei's reward.
It is said that Liu Bei was a little stunned by Chen Xi at that time. He really thought that Rome had defeated the Western Regions. In fact, the wave of Li Jue's confrontation with Ganassis actually happened in Ctesiphon, that is, in Western Asia, which was actually far away from the Han Dynasty.
After the Roman envoy came over, although Liu Bei showed his due magnanimity and did not treat the Roman envoy lightly, even with the reward of a large amount of silk, Serali and others were almost too excited and did not notice the fear in Liu Bei's eyes.
.
After the Roman envoys returned to Rome with several carts of Shu brocade, Liu Bei started making noises about organizing a group of envoys to go to Rome to see them.
In addition, Chen Xi also had this idea, and the two hit it off immediately, and immediately selected a group of people in the country to form an envoy. Jian Yong was particularly interested in going to Rome as an envoy, so he went together, along with Nangong Xue.
.
After all, we are thousands of miles away and we can’t cheat our own people. There is still no problem in terms of safety.
The group of people walked around, and Jian Yong, thinking that he had enough time anyway, had some dealings with each country in the Western Regions, so that the countries in the Western Regions could feel the majesty of the Han Dynasty.
After all, Li Jue had just made waves at that time, and the countries in the Western Regions were extremely respectful of the Han Dynasty. With Jian Yong following behind to comfort him, all the countries in the Western Regions firmly recognized the Han Dynasty.
Along the way, Jian Yong traveled through the countries in the Western Regions and learned all kinds of weird languages. Jian Yong, who is now proficient in dozens of dialects, feels that he has touched the evolution of some languages, and it is easier to learn.
When waiting to cross the Permian Plateau, Jian Yong originally planned to communicate with Li Jue and others, but he was really not familiar with them, so he simply informed them twice.
Later, when Jian Yong was in Anxi, Vorogis V was cleaning up the Sullun family in Anxi, and there was a big fuss. Jian Yong had no idea of stopping and went straight over. But as far as Jian Yong saw,
In fact, the situation in Parthia is just average, with dark politics and many contradictions, but the potential for war is there.
Heading eastward and entering the Syrian province, Jian Yong did not see Ganassis because Serali and others had already returned to Rome, and Ganassis had already taken Serali to Rome.
He could only take out his identity certificate and take a boat to Italy. However, by the time Jian Yong's envoy arrived in Italy, Severus had already gone to the north, so naturally he could not meet Jian Yong.
However, due to the report of Serali and others, the Han Dynasty envoys were treated very favorably. The Senate immediately arranged the residence of the Han Dynasty, and then said that their emperor was not in Italy and asked the Han Dynasty envoys to wait for a while.
time, feel free to browse Italy in the meantime.
By the way, the Senate also approved a large sum of money to Jian Yong, saying that our emperor is not here, and you are a distinguished envoy, representing the Han Empire. It is not easy for us to communicate with you, so we have not returned until His Majesty the Emperor.
Time, you can take your money and have fun in Italy.
Although the current silk is not as expensive as more than two hundred gold coins per pound, it is almost more expensive per pound. Jian Yong, who brought a lot of silk, exchanged a sum of money for it, and began to travel around the city of Rome.
The Roman Empire, which had experienced the rule of the Five Wise Emperors and had its military strengthened by Severus, greatly shocked Jian Yong.
To put it simply, the horizontal comparison, what Jian Yong saw was enough to make him not have any hope for Anxi. As for comparing the Han Dynasty, Jian Yong thought about it for a long time, and in the end he could only say that the current Han Dynasty could barely
It was a powerful empire that surpassed Rome.
The senators of the Roman Parliament still gave Jian Yong a lot of respect for this mythical country of gold and silk, so Jian Yong could run around in the city of Rome. Because of this, he also saw the shortcomings of the Han Dynasty and what he should be proud of.
one side.
Of course, this was before the Parthian Counterattack began. After the Parthian Counterattack began, and after learning that the Han Dynasty was involved, the Romans' favor for the mythical and legendary kingdom of gold and silk suddenly dropped.
It felt like falling from the level of myth to the level of mortals. Although the silk was still luxurious, the fact that the myth became reality from the book and started to fight with reality was not a good thing.
In particular, the Romans were extremely confident. Even if a myth happened in front of them, they would be the composers of the myth.
For this reason, after the war between Parthia and Rome broke out, the treatment of Jian Yong and others declined. After all, they became belligerents inexplicably. Although Rome had no intention of fighting with the Han Dynasty, it had to fight back if it was beaten.
.
As a result, Jian Yong and his party were put under some surveillance, but after all, the Romans were in a state of imperial pride and could not do anything that was disrespectful to their status, so they did not put Jian Yong under house arrest.
It's just that getting in and out is no longer as easy as it was before, just taking money and wandering around. After all, there will be some Roman heavy infantry or guards following.
Although these Roman heavy infantry who followed the Han Dynasty envoys had a very formal job, called because the Han Dynasty and Rome were currently in a state of misunderstanding, some regional conflicts occurred. In order to ensure that the Han Dynasty envoys would not have any accidents in the city of Rome,
, the necessary protection is carried out.
In fact, everyone understands what it means. Although these heavy infantrymen never do anything unnecessary, this attitude already explains their attitude very well.
Therefore, after the Battle of Lianghe, the Han Dynasty envoys fell silent. As for the Kushan envoys, they had actually arrived at this time, but the Romans were very wise to place the two sides separately.
This is why neither the Kushan envoys nor the Han Dynasty envoys know that there is an envoy from another empire in Rome.
Of course, this is because the state control of Rome was relatively reliable, and it could control the country to this situation. In this era, only the Han Empire and Rome, and other countries did not have this capital.
Jian Yong's personality is relatively easy-going, and the Romans really have no intention of falling out with the Han Dynasty. After a while, a senator will come over to inform Jian Yong and ask about his current situation.
After all, compared to Kushan, Rome was still prepared to treat the Han Dynasty with the highest etiquette, that is, Severus personally summoned him. Therefore, before Severus came back, there was no formal reception, only a senator
A briefing was conducted to ensure that no dissatisfaction would arise in the Han Dynasty.
It was precisely because he could feel Rome's sincerity that Jian Yong made no special moves. He just stayed quietly in the courtyard prepared for them by Rome and minimized travel.
"Why do you have such an expression? What happened?" Jian Yong, who came back from the bath, looked at the accompanying doctor and asked in confusion. After all, Zhang Zhi now had a ghostly expression on his face.
"I don't know what to say now." Zhang Zhi looked at Jian Yong in surprise, and then looked at the heavy infantrymen aside.
"What's wrong?" Jian Yong stepped forward naturally and walked towards the inner hall, while the heavy infantry following him stopped expressionlessly and continued to guard.
After all, it was arranged for Jian Yong to officially go to Rome, so this group of people was actually very well-equipped. Even two doctors were equipped, and they were also equipped with microscopes made of colorless crystal. They were considered to be quite high-end envoys.
, Jian Yong’s identity means he can make decisions about many things.
"I now deeply doubt whether the Romans are human beings." Zhang Zhi looked at Jian Yong with a headache and said, "I haven't gone out with you for a while. We saw many things in Rome that we have never seen before.
Plants, so we analyzed them in terms of their medicinal properties.”
"You know, I am from a pharmacy background, so I have done in-depth research on plants, animals and other things that can be used as medicine. I also tried to change the proportions of local plants to make potions, and treated the nearby Romans."
Zhang Zhi said with a headache on his face.
When we assigned doctors to the envoys, we chose Zhang Zhi, a doctor who was not very good in medical skills, because this guy had extremely high research on botany and medicinal properties. In other words, there was no one in the local area.
When growing medicinal materials, he can rely on his knowledge of the properties of the medicinal herbs to mix medicines that suit the local conditions.
Of course, this guy is not even ranked in the top ten in terms of pharmaceuticals, so he was assigned a doctor who knew how to blend medicinal properties, and he was also equipped with a microscope.
As a doctor, after being able to observe more subtle aspects, he will habitually use it in more places. As a very normal doctor, Zhang Zhi also used it to do things, and then gave
When the Romans were treating diseases easily, he discovered the difference between the Romans.
In the city of Rome, Zhang Zhi discovered that the Romans were severely polarized. To put it simply, the Romans in the city were either in a state of poisoning that was about to die at any time, or they were extremely strong, and Zhang Zhi was impressed by both.
I got sick and gained the skin and flesh of both.
Under the microscope, there are differences between the two at the cellular level. There is a layer of skeleton-like things in the cells of those strong Romans. Although Hua Tuo and others had noticed the cytoskeleton when they led them to study Zhou Tai.
existence.
According to the estimation of Hua Tuo and others, this kind of thing should also exist in the body of normal people, but it may be too thin to be observed. Only when the physical fitness reaches a certain level can this kind of skeleton be truly observed.
However, Zhang Zhi discovered this kind of thing in the bodies of those strong Romans, and unlike Zhou Tai's cytoskeleton, which seemed to be a normal color, the Romans' cytoskeleton was a dark gray, which looked like
