Chapter 273 The earliest online romance! Business blowjob between the Han and Roman
Amid Zhu Di's confusion and curiosity, Tianmu continued his story.
【Generally speaking, a country wants to be respected. 】
【Especially comprehensive respect that transcends time, space and geography.】
【Those are the two biggest factors.】
【One is truth, the other is power. 】
[Rome is a very rare civilization in ancient Western history that has both.]
【In the West at that time, the country of ancient Rome firmly occupied the high ground in the West, whether in terms of institutional construction, cultural achievements, or military strength. 】
【It is the source of all modern Western civilization. 】
[So even if Rome declined and perished. ]
[However, almost all Western countries in later generations wanted to seek a succession relationship from Rome to prove their legitimacy.]
[Even the Turkic warlords on the Anatolian steppes declared themselves Roman emperors.]
[Not to mention those powers that are even slightly related. ]
[The Germanic barbarians who directly destroyed Rome dared to call themselves the Holy Roman Empire! ]
【Claims to be the successor of Rome.】
[Although this so-called Shinra is not as legitimate as a barrel of water. 】
[Here I want to explain why the Roman legitimacy of the Holy Roman Empire, which was crowned by the Pope, was so poor? ]
[First, the Holy Roman Empire has no inland sea; second, there are no straits; third, the Holy Roman Empire is not a polytheistic religion; third, the Holy Roman Empire is not a republic; at the same time, it does not practice Roman law; and it is not a unicameral political system; nor does it practice military farming.]
[The word "people" is not included in the country's name.]
【So in the eyes of today's Internet elite groups. 】
[This so-called Holy Roman Empire has less legitimacy than a barrel of water.]
【After all, even if it is a bottle of bottled water. 】
[At least there are inland seas and straits, right? ]
[However, China’s elite Luo community is mainly concentrated in the Internet’s gaming history circle. ]
【China's elite Luo will only exist on the Internet. 】
[In reality, Chinese people do not have any special feelings towards Rome.]
[Westerners are obsessed with Rome because their ancestors were influenced by Rome.]
[If we trace back Western civilization, the most powerful country we can trace back to is Rome.]
【In ancient times, China was at the forefront of the world for a long time.】
[If nothing else, the Han Dynasty, which coincided with the peak of Rome, was a very powerful and advanced empire.]
【And its superiority over Rome is. 】
【This civilization has been passed down from generation to generation. 】
[So the group of elite Romans only exists in the Western world in reality.]
【And it will not exist in China. 】
……
The comments on this popular video kept flying.
"Rome is the source? I, Greece, don't accept it!"
"The ancestors of modern Western countries are all murderers who destroyed Rome."
"If China invades Huaxia, it will be Huaxia. If the West destroys Rome, it will be Rome, right?"
"Aisin-Gioro is also Luo!"
"Napoleon was also a die-hard Romanian."
"The Ottoman Sultan called himself the Emperor of the Romans."
……
【Let us expand our perspective to the global context and the entire historical trend. 】
【You can see that it is full of coincidences. 】
【In ancient Greece, the period when the source of Western thought and philosophy flourished. 】
【China was also in the pre-Qin period when there was a fierce clash of ideas among various schools of thought.】
【The era of prosperity of Rome, the military power that inherited Greece. 】
[It also happened to be the era when the Qin and Han empires rose and dominated. ]
[At the two ends of the Eurasian continent at that time, whether it was Rome in the west or the Han Dynasty in the east, the martial virtues were so abundant that they were off the charts! ]
【Comparison between Rome, Qin, and Han. 】
[This is a menstrual issue that has been spreading on the Internet since its inception. 】
【The discussion on which of the two superpowers, the East and the West, is stronger and which is weaker, has lasted for decades. 】
[To the regret of many netizens, why didn't these two civilizations fight a war? 】
[Since I have never fought a war, I can freely guess and play with it. 】
【When netizens speculate and discuss, they tend to quarrel. 】
[Many netizens even thought that Rome and the Han Dynasty looked down on and hated each other. ]
【In the traditional impression, the relationship between Rome and the Han Dynasty is like this. 】【Han: Rome is a dog! I killed all the Huns that were beaten by me! Don’t you have any idea about adding lead to the dish? You lost the battle and the legion is missing, so you put the shit pot on me? Don’t you know what happened to you when you were beaten by Parthia? You use one sponge to wipe ten butts? How many emperors did Rome change in a year? You dance on the graves every day, and Rome’s territory is gone! 】
【Rome: Seres is a dog! I beat the Huns to the point of extinction, can you Han do it? Stop talking nonsense, Bronze Kingdom! What are you talking about, Silk Country? Without Rome, how can you Han make glass? The Roman legion disappeared in Han? I think they want to take advantage of the popularity of Rome to advertise tourism! Parthia? Watch me burn Ctesiphon! I beat up Parthia and slaughtered Jerusalem at the same time, and let the Celestial Dragons wander for two thousand years! 】
……
[Many netizens think that Rome and the Han Dynasty were like the above, looking down on each other and being hostile to each other.]
[But in fact, their style of painting is...]
【Rome: The Han Dynasty is vast, populous, strict in law, and upright. This is a vast country, a nation full of justice! It is simply brilliant! Their people are full of wisdom, their country is rich in resources, with a lot of gold and silver, and they love peace and will never go to war.】
【Da Han: Rome is a country with gold as its ground, ivory as its doors, fragrant wood as its pillars, and gold, silver and jewels everywhere in its land. Rome has millions of victorious soldiers, and its territory stretches for tens of millions of miles. The surrounding countries all look up to Rome. The Roman people are all tall and handsome, just like us Chinese, and they are full of martial virtues and are expanding their territory everywhere.】
[Yes, in real history, Rome and the Han Dynasty not only had no hostility towards each other, but also carried out a long-lasting commercial exchange. Although the two great powers did not have direct official contact, through the Silk Road trade channel, they not only knew each other's existence, but also had a certain understanding of each other, and after understanding each other, they gave each other a very high evaluation. ]
[To put it bluntly, it’s online dating. ]
[The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of the Western Regions, clearly states the Han Dynasty’s view of Rome at that time. It says that the Romans were tall and handsome, similar to the Chinese, so Rome was called Daqin at that time.]
【Pay attention to the key words.】
【Something like China! 】
[It is similar to China, which is a very high evaluation! 】
【For the Han people who were beating up the surrounding countries at that time. 】
[Praising you for looking like a Chinese person is definitely praising you to the sky. ]
[If you don't believe it, compare it with the other countries around us and the contemptuous names the Han Dynasty used against them. ]
[Compare this with the comment about Rome being "similar to China". ]
[You will find that the gap is huge. ]
[Except for the fact that the Romans mainly had black hair, they were familiar with their appearance. ]
[The Han Dynasty also had a good understanding of the Roman political system.]
【Know the Roman Senate system. 】
[Of course, the Han people also knew the wealth of Rome. ]
[The Han Dynasty history books record that the Romans used gold and silver as coins, with ten silver coins equaling one gold coin.]
[Rome had long-term trade with countries such as Parthia and India.]
【Cross-border trade often brings profits more than ten times. 】
【However, merchants in Rome were relatively honest and fair, and there was no second price in the entire market. 】
【There was plenty of food, the price of grain was low, and the whole country was very rich.】
[Even the Han knew that the Parthian king was caught between Rome and the Han.]
[In order to be a middleman, he also deliberately obstructed both parties, making it difficult for them to communicate directly. ]
……
Outside the sky.
Compared with those emperors in later generations, he had some understanding of Rome and the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi, who lived in an even more distant time.
It can be said that we know almost nothing about Rome.
What Ying Zheng knew was a little bit about Rome.
Almost all of them were seen from the sky during this period of time.
I saw in history books that Rome was called Daqin.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but complain again.
"He is a Daqin."
"I am also a Daqin!"
"Could it be that the Great Qin in the West is the new Great Qin founded by my people?"
Of course, Ying Zheng was just saying it as a joke.
Because Ying Zheng knew by comparing the time that Rome had already been founded in his time.
It just hasn't reached its peak yet.
And see the story of Rome on the sky curtain.
It is said that the country has a vast territory, a million strong army, a strong national power, and can suppress all directions.
The people there look like Chinese and have upright characters.
In addition, Rome was also known as Daqin.
This made Ying Zheng feel more favorable towards Rome.
"It depends on what is said in the history books and on the sky screen of later generations."
"This Rome is really nice!"
"If Rome is really a powerful and civilized country."
"If they are fundamentally different from the barbarians around them."
"Then even my Great Qin is willing to have friendly exchanges with it."
