Fu Qin starts with a plan

In the northwest of Jiuyuan County, in a dilapidated small village.

Since Zhao Kun expelled the Xiongnu, the original territory of the Xiongnu was incorporated into the territory of Jiuyuan County.

Jiuyuan County was originally a border county, located in a bitterly cold place, and was often plundered by barbarians, the life of the people was miserable.

However, since receiving a large area of ​​the Xiongnu's territory, the people of Jiuyuan County immediately trembled.

There is no way to grow food in this area, so the local people simply graze. Over time, they have become good at grazing.

After the old land of the Xiongnu was included in the territory of the Great Qin, it was still not a good place for the counties and counties in the interior of the Great Qin.

Even, it was once used as a place of exile for prisoners.

The prisoners in other counties would feel cold when they heard that the place of exile was the former land of the Huns.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he would rather be exiled to the island outside Yue County than go north.

Although Xiang County Linhai was exiled, due to the developed sea trade in Daqin, the nearest Qiongdao was developed into an independent commercial island.

But, what is there in Jiuyuan County?
Although Daqin has trade with the Western Regions, the border of Daqin is still a long way from the Western Regions.

Jiuyuan County is in the northeast of the Western Regions, and no caravan will detour from Jiuyuan County.

Naturally, Jiuyuan County does not enjoy much of the benefits of trade in the Western Regions.

In this way, it is a proper backcountry.

However, in the eyes of the common people in Jiuyuan County, this place was a treasure land.

In the past, the Huns were powerful and occupied a large area of ​​natural grassland with abundant water and soil.

These places cannot be cultivated, but are excellent places for grazing.

In the past few years, almost all the original people in Jiuyuan County have moved to the north, and the villages that were not well located before have gradually declined and were eventually abandoned.

At this moment, hundreds of people are crowded in the only ancestral hall that is still intact in this deserted village.

Squatting on the ground in the middle of the ancestral hall, looking around, there are hundreds of Daqin people with black hair and black eyes.

Around them was a group of aliens pretending to be Qin people.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, there were two people standing, one tall and one short.

Shorty is a skinny old man of different races.

The tall one was a burly man with bumps on his face and hideous wounds.

If Wang Li were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the burly man was none other than Liu Cheng, a Nanyang tycoon.

In the South China Sea War the year before last, Liu Cheng's main fleet was destroyed in Wang Li's battle.

In fact, as a Nanyang giant bandit, how could Liu Cheng not know the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

In that naval battle at that time, the sky was full of guns and rain, and Liu Cheng had already prepared the small sailboat for escape.

Seeing that something was wrong, he ran away immediately.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough. In the chaos, although the small sailboat he escaped was blown up, he was also seriously injured.

However, relying on the skills he had cultivated over the years across the sea, Liu Cheng still escaped.

Although he escaped with his life, the huge fleet built up over the years was completely wiped out by Wang Li in that battle.

The capital for Liu Cheng's comeback no longer exists.

But when he fled, he brought Hannibal's messengers with him.

Although the messenger Crean was very grateful to Liu Cheng for saving his life, but Liu Cheng who lost the fleet was meaningless to Carthage. …

Crazy Liu Cheng thought of a way.

He bewitched Crean to kidnap talents from the Daqin Academy of Sciences and go to Carthage to develop armaments.

This proposal immediately moved Klein's heart.

The naval battle back then almost frightened him to death.

Klein thinks he has the most say on the strength of Great Qin's force.

Liu Cheng told him that the military equipment of Daqin was all produced by the Academy of Sciences.

If you can abduct a group of people from the Academy of Sciences and help Carthage manufacture gunpowder weapons and other armaments.

Then, in the war between Carthage and Rome, things will definitely turn around.

This kind of temptation is really too great.

Crean immediately sent a message back to Europe, asking Hannibal to send someone to support him.

At this time, Carthage is being crushed by Rome on the European battlefield.

Hannibal's army was like a trapped beast, completely insane.

Even the devil told him that as long as he sold his soul, he could defeat Rome.

Hannibal would do it without hesitation.

He walked all the way, finally boiled his father to death, killed his elder brother, and only then did he monopolize the power.

At the beginning of the Second Punic War, Carthage also had an absolute advantage.

It went smoothly all the way, but in the end it was overturned.

How could a proud person like Hannibal bear it?

Therefore, as soon as Hannibal received Klein's message, he immediately sent someone to support him.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse
As one of the two heroes in Europe, although Carthage lost on the battlefield, the power he could mobilize was still terrifying.

Hannibal gave an order, and the elites in Carthage immediately set off to Daqin to cooperate with Keleian.

The backward feudal system in Europe has allowed the nobles to fight much more than in the East.

Letting the elites of these countries go to the battlefield may not be very powerful.

But they are experts at murder and kidnapping.

At the beginning of February this year, the people sent by Hannibal, with the help of the Kingdom of Pontus, mixed into the mission of the Kingdom of Pontus and entered Daqin.

Then, they immediately began to plan operations.

For a full four months, they secretly kidnapped the talents of the Academy of Sciences, pretending to be accidental deaths or missing cases.

When doing this kind of thing in Daqin, Keleian is naturally cautious.

His original plan was to use two years to achieve his goal.

But this year Carthage has suffered successive defeats on the European battlefield.

In addition, in July, the Daqin Navy entered Europe, showing off its power and showing off its force in the city of Sibal.

This made Hannibal even more anxious.

When he learned that the Great Qin Navy would wipe out the navy of the Roman Southern Legion without any loss, he had an unprecedented desire for the great Qin military force.

Under Hannibal's urging, Crean had to speed up.

Hence, what happened now.

The Daqin people in the ancestral hall are all members of the Academy of Sciences that they captured in the past eight months.

The four people surrounded by everyone, to be precise, were three people and one corpse.

A middle-aged man with gray temples and a gloomy complexion. This man is one of the core members of the Academy of Sciences who disappeared a few days ago, Liang Ji. …

Interlocking his five fingers is a European woman with long brown hair, who is Surya's maid Lisanna.

Next to the two of them sat a young man in his early 20s.

The young man showed fear and was looking at the door in a panic.

This man is the son of Wu Cheng, Wu Luo.

The man lying on the ground is the captain of the guard who went to Xianyang to purchase with Lisanna.

Lisanna looked at the guard captain on the ground with tears on her face.

Lisanna never imagined that the captain of the guard traveled across the ocean with them, and finally came to Daqin from Carthage.

Chased and intercepted by various pursuers along the way, he survived.

Finally died here.

Moreover, for this reason, he died at the hands of the Carthaginians.

At this time, Liu Cheng and Keleian walked in quickly.

"Vice President Wang, how do you think about what I said?" Liu Cheng asked with a gloomy expression.

In the past eight months, he has taken the Carthaginians captive everywhere in the territory of Daqin.

Those who were caught were also settled in this deserted village, where they were raised with good food and drink.

Because those people before had access to the core secrets of the Academy of Sciences, but their status was not high enough to be in charge.

Just half a month ago, Keleian received an urgent letter from Hannibal, which made him speed up.

The so-called slow work produces meticulous work. If the speed is fast, the work will naturally become rough.

But the last vote doesn't pay attention to these.

Therefore, when planning to kidnap Liang Ji and Uro, the Carthaginians did not spend much effort.

The status of these two people is very important.

Liang Ji is the vice president of the Academy of Civil Sciences and a core figure in the early Academy of Sciences. Whether it is knowledge reserve or management ability, he is considered a leader in the Academy of Sciences.

The reason why he was chosen was because he had a fatal weakness, and that was Lisanna.

Moreover, this person is not good at communication and does not communicate much with others, so it is easy to start.

As for Wu Luo, he is the son of Wu Cheng, vice president of the Daqin Academy of Sciences.

Wu Cheng is in the Academy of Sciences, although he has conflicts of ideas with Gong Shuchou, Wang Xue and others.

But his ancestors were all craftsmen, and his family education was very strict.

Uro has been an excellent craftsman under his teaching since he was a child.

After the Academy of Sciences opened, Wu Cheng took him with him even more.

Uro also lived up to his father's expectations. His performance in the Academy of Sciences has always been very good, and he has participated in many important projects.

Therefore, he is regarded as the leader of the younger generation of the Academy of Sciences.

The most wonderful thing is that because of Wu's popularity, his son Wu Luo is also withdrawn and his living habits are very simple.

Therefore, Uro is also a very easy target.

The Carthaginians tried their best to tie the two together, but as for the other 20 people, they could only be regarded as stuffing at best.

This afternoon, the mission of the Bendu Kingdom is about to leave Daqin.

Under their support, the Carthaginians will take these talents from the Academy of Sciences and sneak out through secret paths.

As long as you go to the Western Regions, the sky is high and the birds are free to fly.

At this time, the Carthaginians finally tried to show up.

For a whole day, Liu Chengcheng was persuading Liang Ji to join Carthage.

In Liu Cheng's view, although Liang Ji had a good status in the Academy of Sciences, he was actually quite excluded because of his personality. …

As long as Gong Shuqiu and the Wang family's father and daughter are still there, people like Liang Ji will never have a bright future.

After going to Carthage, Hannibal would immediately promise a high position and generous salary.

At that time, if you don't want to have anything, why bother to fall in love with Daqin?

After all, there are not many of them in Daqin, and there are many of them in the absence.

Haven't you seen the more than 50 people who were kidnapped by them before, and the Black Ice Terrace didn't respond?

However, it was a big mistake for Liu Cheng to speculate on the thoughts of these technical nerds in the Academy of Sciences with the mind of a pirate.

For these people, high-ranking officials and rich salary are nothing but a fleeting moment.

No one, including Liang Ji, took these things seriously.

No matter how much Hannibal gave them, there was one thing he could never give them.

That is a good research atmosphere, and the pride of being a Daqin person.

The technical geeks of this era can be said to be masters of handicrafts. Not only are their bodies strong, but their bones are also particularly hard.

Liang Ji naturally dismissed Liu Cheng's persuasion.

This made Liu Cheng angry.

Liu Cheng was very clear about his position. If he wanted to gain a foothold in Carthage, he had to win over these technical nerds who were also from Qin.

Keleian didn't give him much time, if he couldn't convince Liang Ji within the stipulated time limit.

Although it may not have any impact on the final result, it is still Liu Cheng's disadvantage in doing things after all.

At that time, his use value for the Carthaginians will be better than nothing.

Liang Ji snorted coldly, and spat at Liu Cheng fiercely, without saying a word.

But his performance has already shown his attitude.

Liu Cheng grinned grimly: "Deputy President Wang, it seems that you are toasting instead of eating and drinking. If you still don't agree, then don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of fellow citizens!"

"Spit! You are just a bandit, and you deserve to talk about fellowship with me?" Liang Ji cursed.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Liu Cheng wiped the saliva off his face, nodded again and again, and then pulled out the long knife abruptly.

"From now on, every quarter of an hour, if you don't agree, I will kill one of you!"

Liu Cheng is worthy of being a giant bandit across the sea, after he said this, he didn't allow Liang Ji to answer, he dragged the person next to him, swiped his long knife, and a head shot up into the sky.

Immediately, Liang Ji was sprayed with blood all over his face.

"Thief, you want to die!" Liang Ji suddenly wanted to stand up.

However, as soon as Liu Cheng raised his hand, the long knife, still dripping with blood, rested on his shoulder.

Liu Cheng said with a gloomy face: "Vice President Wang, I don't want to make things difficult for you, but the premise is that you know each other!"

Faced with this sudden scene, most of the members of the Academy of Sciences in the ancestral hall showed sadness, and at the same time, everyone was extremely indignant.

There were only a few people, with frightened faces, subconsciously moved their positions, wanting to stay away from Liang Ji.

As for the Carthaginian soldiers around them, they were mocking.

Obviously, Liu Cheng's behavior, in their eyes, was similar to watching a play.

Of those who were afraid, Uro was the most violent.

Although he is known as a child prodigy, he lived in a simple environment since he was a child, and he only devoted himself to research in the Academy of Sciences on weekdays.

In terms of xinxing, he is basically equivalent to an ordinary child in his teens.

The bloodiest thing I've ever seen in my 20s was nothing more than half of a companion's hand being cut off by a steam engine blade.

The scene where the head was cut off was too shocking for him.

The fear that followed couldn't be suppressed at all.

Liu Cheng has been in the sea for several years, and he has been able to gather tens of thousands of pirates under his command. Naturally, his ability to read words and deeds is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

He immediately noticed Uro's anomaly.

Of course he wouldn't kill Uro, but he didn't have any psychological barriers when he killed other people.

A quarter of an hour passed, and he picked up the person next to Uro.

During the flickering of the knife, another human head flew up.

Only this time, blood was sprayed on Uro's face.

Under such extreme and terrifying pressure, Uro finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"what--!"

Wu Luo let out a horrific scream, and looked at Liang Ji with pleading eyes.
