Chapter 180 Chu River and Han Realm(2/2)
Brother Hai quickly said,
"The sea is very dangerous, but there is no problem if An An wants to see it. Uncle will take you there personally."
Only when he is by the other person's side can he feel at ease.
This matter was settled very easily. Early the next morning, the Great Qin Navy set out to sea and headed southwest.
Tennant stood on the deck of the large sea ship, feeling the waves of sea breeze.
The whole person's mind can't help but float,
He quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote slowly,
"Father, I am now on Da Qin's warships. These warships are larger and more stable than any ships we have ever seen!"
"The Chinese have begun their journey to conquer the ocean, which is awe-inspiring."
"Da Qin is changing every day, and it's moving in a better direction. I see no hope of catching up."
"I have sorted out the records over the years and hope it can be of some help."
"I'm extremely worried about this, but I'm also a little lucky. Our city actually belongs to Da Qin..."
Soon, Tennette's thoughts slowly drifted away with the sea breeze. When the ship stopped for supplies, a group of messengers took her letter and travel notes and headed towards the north of Daqin.
Speeding all the way, all the major transportation roads in Daqin have been rebuilt, and the communication system is extremely fast. Changing horses and people, the messenger has left the Western Region in less than half a month, and here he will send his travel notes and Zhao Anan's
The letter was given to Cao Shen here,
The other party will print Tennant's books here, because there is no need to print them in the mainland and then transport them all the way there.
After printing here, they will pass through Da Qin’s caravan all the way to Rome!
But the messenger did not stop, he still had a letter to deliver.
A few days later, the original Roman border town, now Hannibal City,
This place is directly named after him, because according to China's original agreement with Rome, this place does not belong to Rome or China, but was handed over to Hannibal.
At this time, Hannibal stood on a high place on the city wall, overlooking the bustling crowds and merchants coming and going below, with a somewhat emotional look on his face.
This has now become the junction between Rome and China.
Businessmen from both sides have to pass here, so this place has become extremely prosperous.
Who would have thought that a tragic war took place here a few years ago?
Just when Hannibal was feeling a little emotional, suddenly there was a commotion at the city gate.
Fortunately, he was quickly stopped by the guards, and soon a soldier came over to report.
"General, there was a dispute between two caravans from Rome just now. It has been settled."
Hannibal frowned slightly and asked,
"For what?!"
The guard said helplessly,
"It's all trivial matters. The two caravans come from different places. One of the caravans insulted the other caravan, saying that they were all thieves and that their goods were stolen."
"The other caravans were angry, so they fought back, saying that the other party was a robber and that all the goods had been stolen, so they started fighting."
Upon hearing this, Hannibal immediately understood,
He didn't know what was going on. When he fought with Rome before, he never heard of such big conflicts within Rome.
Anyone with a clear mind will know which area has no thieves? No robbers?
How can we generalize?
Moreover, why do such small things develop into such huge conflicts?
But in the past few years, conflicts within Rome seem to have gradually increased.
There have been similar fights in the city before, but the scale has never been this big.
It's just that it's hard for him, an outsider, to resolve this kind of conflict. He can only say helplessly,
"Tell them that no one is allowed to cause trouble in the city, and no trading will be allowed next time!"
The guards quickly took orders and left.
Looking at the two Roman caravans who were still unconvinced with each other under the city wall, and then looking at the Chinese caravans who were always harmonious and helping each other outside, Hannibal also showed a slightly envious look.
The Chinese people are now extremely popular throughout the Western world. They are smart, kind, wealthy, but also extremely powerful.
Anyone who has one or two Chinese friends will be respected and envied by others.
In such a comparison, the gap between the Roman world and China is really huge.
Thinking of this, Hannibal's heart moved slightly. He vaguely thought of something, but at this moment a messenger hurried over and reported,
"General, a letter from your daughter!"
Hearing this, Hannibal immediately showed a smile, no longer thinking about it, and quickly took the letter.
His daughter followed Zhao Hao to China for five years. During this period, they could only communicate through letters. Of course, he missed each other very much.
Looking at his daughter's letter, Hannibal seemed to have followed him to the Great Qin Dynasty in China.
He saw through letters that great changes were taking place in the land of China and Qin.
After reading the letter, Hannibal couldn't help but exhale slightly, feeling a little relieved and a little disappointed.
Fortunately, my daughter had a good life there, gained more knowledge, and even wrote a travel diary.
What's disappointing is that, according to my daughter, it may be difficult for Rome to catch up with Qin, let alone other small countries that are weaker than Rome.
After all, he had lived in Carthage for so many years and still had his hometown in his heart.
Fortunately, Great Qin is not directly bordering here. Otherwise, with the other party's current strength and reputation in the Roman world,
I’m afraid everyone will want to go to Da Qin!
The other Chinese countries are not that strong yet, and they are still at war with each other.
He had already heard that the Chinese Han Dynasty and the Chinese Chu Dynasty were currently at war in that scorching land.
Thinking of this, Hannibal couldn't help but look to the south.
At this time, in the hot land in the south, a river meandered through,
On both sides of the river, an army carrying the banner of Han was confronting an army carrying the banner of Chu.
In the Han camp, the leader was a young man with a calm face and a resolute look. He said,
"General Xiangzhuang is not as good as us Chu and Han, so we use this river as our boundary."
