Chapter 180 Chuhehan Realm
Brother Hai quickly came to his senses and said quickly,
"Quickly please...I'll go outside to greet you!"
After saying that, Brother Hai led the people and walked directly outside.
At this time, outside the camp,
Two young women were talking with relaxed expressions.
One of the blond women said with some confusion in skilled Chinese dialect,
"An'an, you are the princess of Great Qin, why are you waiting outside the military camp?"
"Shouldn't we just go in?"
The woman is naturally Tennite. She has also been in Daqin for 5 years. Most of the time, she has stayed with Zhao Anan and traveled around Daqin. She has been able to hold conversations relatively fluently.
Zhao Anan wanted to travel on the sea this time, so he came here directly.
But she was a little confused. If she were in Rome, as Zhao Anan, such a military camp should be accessible at any time.
But now they have to wait outside the military camp, waiting for reports from others.
Even after staying in Da Qin for so long, she still found it incredible!
Zhao Anan didn't have the slightest surprise and returned very naturally.
"This is the military regulation of Great Qin. Not to mention me, my father is here in person."
"You also need to go through the process."
According to Great Qin's military regulations, even if His Majesty comes in person, if there is no prior notification, a notification is required before he can enter!
After hearing Zhao Anan's explanation, Tennite still had some doubts in his eyes. He said,
"Shouldn't these armies be your royal private army?"
"Why establish such a rule?"
After staying in Da Qin for so many years, she also learned that Da Qin is actually somewhat different from Carthage and Rome.
Although there are nobility, the nobility in the Western world has a clear private territory and army. In the private territory, her rights are no different from those of the king.
But in Da Qin, the nobles of Da Qin only had titles, salaries, etc., but did not have their own private territory, let alone their own army, etc.
It can be said that everything in the entire Qin Dynasty belongs to the royal family.
So she doesn't understand.
This question actually made Zhao Anan frown slightly, and thought about it before saying,
"There is no rule without rules. Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the army be increased."
"Also, Da Qin's army not only belongs to the royal family and government, but also belongs to the people of Da Qin!"
These concepts are what their father has always taught them, the royal family, the people, the army, the trinity, so that they can last long.
When necessary, the common people may even move forward.
Although she didn't understand why, her father was always right.
After hearing the explanation, Tennette still had some doubts on her face, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she took out a paper and pen and wrote down what she just said.
Zhao Anan couldn't help but smile and said,
"Your handwriting is quite good now. How much have you written over the years?"
During their time together in the past few years, Tennette was studying crazily at the beginning.
I have to say that the other party is also extremely smart. In just two years, he was able to read, write and speak Chinese fluently.
Then, no matter where he went, whatever he saw would be written down with paper and notes, and she didn't stop him.
Anyway, according to Dad, these records of the other party will be an excellent way to promote Chinese culture, and should be encouraged instead.
I just don’t know how much the other party has memorized over the years.
Tennant soon returned,
"I divided it based on the counties of Daqin. We have been to more than a dozen counties now, so there should be more than a dozen records."
Zhao Anan couldn't help but let out a wow, and then said with a smile,
"You are so patient."
Tennette looked slightly complicated and said,
"I just want my world to understand you better."
There was another sentence that she didn't say out loud. She wanted people from her own world to learn from Hua Xia.
In the past few years, the more places she traveled, the more lost she felt, even a little bit of despair.
Because she knows how big the gap is between her world and Great Qin,
This does not mean that there are no problems with Da Qin’s current development.
Some of the counties they have visited over the years are extremely poor.
Because of the support of Tudou, although people can't starve to death, they are still far from living a good life.
What makes her despair is that the upward force shown by the entire Daqin now,
Although those places were poor, there were always people from the government helping them. According to the Qin government,
Da Qin will never give up on any Chinese!
But in the world of Rome, it was still the same as before. There was intrigue among the nobles, and the relationship between the nobles and the common people was just oppression.
Everyone seemed to be tied tightly by a chain, without any hope.
If this continues, the gap between them will only grow wider as time goes by!
That's why she had such an idea.
Zhao Anan quickly said,
"Are you going to publish a book? That's something only educated people can do. What's the name of your book?"
Tennant quickly said,
"It's called Tennette's Travels in China."
"I'll have to trouble you to help me print it then. I want to use two languages."
Zhao Anan agreed directly. Printing these books would not be a problem for her anyway, but she asked with some doubts,
"Why use Chinese characters?"
Such travel notes must be for those in the west, and there is no need to print them in Chinese characters.
Tennette said extremely sincerely,
"I also think they can learn Chinese characters in this way."
"I know this will cost a lot. I will write to my father and ask him to send money."
Zhao Anan instantly understood that this method would be beneficial to them, so he quickly said with a smile,
"If you miss your father, write to him, but you don't have to ask your father to send money. I will ask them to give you money."
"We don't need to delay any more. Give me what you have sorted out before. We will print it out and send it to Rome."
She believed that her father would like this method.
When Tennette heard this, she was stunned. She didn't expect how she could print books by herself and still get money.
But before she could think about it, Zhao Anan quickly said,
"This matter is settled."
At this moment, the Qin army in the military camp opened the door.
A somewhat elderly general came out with his people.
When Zhao Anan saw the other party, he immediately smiled and shouted,
"Uncle Hai!"
Her father called Fang Haige, so she naturally wanted to call him Uncle Fang.
When Brother Hai heard the shouting, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and he laughed and said,
"An'an, why didn't you tell me in advance when you were coming? I'll take someone to pick you up."
Although this is not the first time he has been shouted at by the other party, Brother Hai still feels that his body and bones are a little lighter.
To be able to get such recognition, he died without regrets.
His loyalty to the royal family is unparalleled.
Soon, Zhao Anan explained his purpose of coming,
"Uncle Hai, I want to take a look at the sea, and then go all the way to the southwest."
Brother Hai quickly said,
"The sea is very dangerous, but there is no problem if An An wants to go 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 thoughts can't help but float.
He quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote slowly,
"Father, I am now aboard Da Qin's warships. These warships are larger and more stable than all the 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 don't see any hope of catching up."
"I compiled the records over the years and hope they can be of some help."
"I am extremely worried about this, but I am 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, in less than half a month, the messenger has left the Western Region, 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, it 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 the city of Hannibal,
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 was standing on a high place on the city wall, overlooking the bustling crowd below, the merchants who were constantly coming and going, 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, and it has been settled."
Hannibal frowned slightly and asked,
"For what?!"
The guard said helplessly,
"It's all trivial matters. The two caravans are from different places. One of them 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."
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 is free of 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 and so on 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.
Chinese people are now extremely popular in the entire 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 too big.
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 suddenly smiled, 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 China's Great Qin.
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 her 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 hot 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 the Han Dynasty was confronting an army carrying the banner of the Da 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."
