Destiny Only Han

Chapter 805 Liu Ying: Veterans don't die, they come back to life!
Passing through the Strait of Malacca and continuing westward along the coastline, you will find the barbarian tribe marked as the Jianli State on the "Map of Kanyu Wanguo" promulgated by the Han Dynasty.

The sun has just risen in the morning, and the Lishui (Irrawaddy River) estuary delta, which was sold to the Han people by the local tribes, stretches endlessly, scattered with thousands of dry-column houses made of bamboo and wood. A young man with dark skin.

Well, their skin is only tanned. If you look closely at their facial features and listen to their voices, you will find that they are all Han Chinese.

This is a settlement point of the Han Dynasty in Southeast Asia.

About five years ago, the Han fleet sailed out of the Strait of Malacca, obtained this flooded but extremely fertile delta through reasonable diplomatic means, and then employed a large number of indigenous barbarians through other means. It took a full five years to build the dam and drain the swamp, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources, only to have this fertile farmland of tens of thousands of square kilometers!
It's just that early this morning, these Han men are still not carrying agricultural tools on their shoulders, but a wooden box with metal clanging sounds.

They stood on the steps, and after talking about their work plan for the recent period to the flattering native housekeeper who had been waiting below, they changed their smiling faces again, and very gently saw off the seven or eight women and A dozen children bid farewell.

The still hot sun in late autumn shone around the room, illuminating the cheeks of the women and children.

Therefore, it can be clearly distinguished that most of the children's appearance has some Han blood, while those women are native to Southeast Asia, with curly hair, brown skin mixed with yellow and black, and round and wide faces that are closer to a spherical shape. , like a widened oval face.

But those Han people who were saying goodbye to them one by one didn't care.

These are their trophies, and they are raised here in the outer room. As long as they are in good shape and docile, they can have children. Anyway, they still have real wives and children in Han.

Well, they are those retired veterans in their 30s.

Due to the nature of the Han people, they bought the land here with the money they earned from running boats as caravan guards over the years, and sometimes they thought, maybe it’s time to take over their wives here live, and then lease the land granted by his hometown to others for farming.

After all, compared to the barren land in the Han Dynasty that has been cultivated for thousands of years, the land here is extremely fertile, coupled with abundant rainfall and high temperature, three crops a year is not a problem at all!
But they have another thought, which is to let their wives help manage these outer rooms.

The indigenous barbarians have no concept of etiquette and chastity, even if they have a high social status in the colonization point, and they are particularly afraid of their outhouses. Drill into the woods...

Fortunately, the genes of the Han people are relatively strong, and the children born can tell at a glance whether they are the savages next door, so even if they are happy to be fathers, the matter of raising sons for others has never happened.

It's just that if this kind of thing gets out, it's hard to save face.

So naturally they need their proud and loyal wives to be the real housekeepers here!
Well, kids can't come.

After all, there is only agriculture here, but their hometown has a completely free free school for literacy, as well as various universities that can achieve class leaps!
It's a pity that the free school has strict admission requirements, not to mention their yellow-brown mixed race, they have adult children who are different from ordinary people at a glance, even those children born to fair-skinned orchids are also not eligible for admission!
Of course, money can break this rule.

But the tuition fee of more than [-] yuan a year, even a prince's family has to weigh it over and over again!
So their little black children have only one option to work here.

And this is actually in line with the inheritance law of the Han Dynasty where the concubine and the second son support the eldest son together. After all, in a feudal society, only a family hugs each other to keep warm, so that they will not be bullied by powerful families and small government officials!

Well, this is the reason why Shang Yang's reform advocated that "the people have more than two males, and those who are not differentiated will be given more rewards".

The atomized society of a family of three and a family of five is more convenient for the rule of a monarchy and dictatorship. This is the so-called weak people.

........................

As the sun rose gradually, the Han people were respectful, and the slaves were proud. The native butler walked to the dormitory of the farm workers and blew his whistle vigorously. At the same time, the whip in his hand was flying and crackling in the air.

After almost a dozen breaths, the farm worker with a shaved head and some distinctive marks on his face hurried out of the room, picked up the iron farm tools with various Chinese character trademarks, and prepared to start today's labor.

They want to work as much as possible while the weather is still not hot. After all, the weather here is too hot. If they are still working in the farmland after ten o'clock at noon, they will suffer from heatstroke in minutes.

So the farm workers work for a while in the morning, then come back to cook breakfast, rest until two or three o'clock when the weather is not too hot, continue to go out to work, and will not go home until the sun has completely set, and they can't see their fingers. Shower, then eat the leftovers of the morning in the dark.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the life of farm workers in an agricultural society is so leisurely and romantic...

On the other side, Han men carrying clinking wooden boxes began to head towards the big ships moored at the seaside port one after another.

Well, it is said to be a big ship, but it is actually the two-masted sailing ship originally built by Yeyi Shipyard.

Nowadays, the dumplings in the Han Dynasty are clipper ships with larger cargo capacity and faster running, and battleships equipped with more gun positions. The small ships in the past naturally withdraw from the navy and are sold to the rich and powerful at the cost price. The caravan formed by the family, or the various armed forces belonging to Shangxiantang like them...

By the port, a boy with a horse face shook his legs a little irritably, and stared helplessly at the veterans who were dawdling.

This person's name is Chong Zhong, and he is the second son of Qu Cheng Hou Chongda among the Eighteen Gong Hous appointed by Liu Bang.

After all, he is the second son, and his title of title in the family has nothing to do with him. Chongda finds Liu Yingpan to make friends with him in the past, so Chongzhong is sent to Shangxian Hall, and becomes the head of the Black Sail Knights...

Well, the Black Sail Knights is one of the four major overseas guards of Shangxiantang, with a full strength of 5000 people, but at the moment the matter is in a hurry, and only less than [-] can be summoned.

"Can you hurry up? I didn't enjoy enough last night, so I have to do another round in the morning? Don't want to make money?"

Chong Zhongji stood with his fingers pointed, loudly accusing him, not at all worried that he, the second generation of hero, would be randomly hammered by those extremely tough veterans on the opposite side.

After all, his father is Chongda, who is the best swordsman in the world. Chongzhong has practiced martial arts since he was a child. Although he can't beat these veterans in a battle, if it is a melee, the swordsmanship that Chongda taught him, which is good at fighting many enemies with one enemy, will come in handy. !
At the beginning, Chongzhong was able to hold the position of the big regiment leader firmly, not only because of Liu Ying's assignment and his father Chongda's prestige, but mainly because he defeated nineteen veterans alone in a contest, and he was unscathed!
So those veterans just let out bursts of laughter, and subconsciously lined up according to Shiwu.

However, there were still voices of doubt in the crowd.

"Young master, is it true what you said about making money?"

"That's right, don't wait for us to arrive, they tricked us..."

"Yes, yes, this kind of thing is not once or twice!"

"What are you afraid of, he is not benevolent and we are not righteous, and he deceives us, we will break into his city and rob him of his women and wealth!"

"Well, that's the reason. Anyway, I heard people say that Seleucid women are very white..."

Hearing that these guys were talking less and less seriously, Chong Zhong yelled angrily: "Shut up, Nai Gong! Whoever is talking nonsense, Nai Gong will blow his dog's head!"

As a result, the discussion gradually stopped, but a pair of eyes eager for money stared at Chong Zhong without blinking, as if he was the Seleucid woman with fair skin, big breasts and big butt...

Chongzhong stared back and shouted loudly:
"If you say give money, you will definitely give money. Seleucus is also a big country, so it's not bad for us three melons and two dates!"

"According to the telegram sent by Fanyang Lord Xu An, it is said that the king of Seleucus, at the suggestion of Wuyang Hou's heir, allowed us to decapitate and record merit, but this kind of merit is not the title of [-]th-class military meritorious title, but money!"

"Every Roman soldier's head is worth ten Dalic coins!"

"Officers vary in size according to their positions, ranging from one hundred to ten thousand. Whoever can kill the Roman officer, the general named Scipio, will be rewarded with 100 million coins!"

After listening to Chongzhong's words, the veterans imagined their life after getting 100 million yuan with excitement.

But after all, there are more pragmatic people, and the voice of inquiry sounded again from the crowd.

"My lord, it's only ten yuan per head, isn't it a little less? We can get a first-class title over there! Is there anyone who got kickbacks?"

In an instant, pairs of questioning eyes stared at Chongzhong again.

My aristocratic grandpa knows it himself, he is not despicable and shameless, how can he still be called a noble grandpa?
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is our hard-earned money. Who dares to deduct Nai Gong, who was the first to draw his sword and chop that bastard!"

Chongzhong yelled loudly, and then explained:
"Ten coins is a lot. I've seen that kind of Daliq money. Our five-baht money is square-hole money with a gap in the middle. They are solid money, twice the weight of our five-baht money!"

"The key is that the five baht coins of the big man are copper coins, and the Daliq coins are gold. Do you understand gold?"

"Ten pieces of gold for one head, isn't that little?"

After listening to Chong Zhong's explanation, the veterans nodded one after another. Ten gold coins are exchanged for a soldier's head. acres of dry land, the remaining money might be able to build another string of small yards!

Chongzhong looked around, and shouted in a tone like a pyramid scheme: "Are there any hesitation? If you have any, stay here, and those who want to make money get on board now!"

And what responded to him was a louder shout.

"Make money!"

"Make money!"

"Make money!"

When the news of the recruitment of mercenaries came, the first thought that popped into the minds of these veterans who stayed at home was to come back to life!

And the last thought is God help me too!

After all, they wanted to bring their wives to live with them. Naturally, they couldn't let the hot old lady at home see him being frugal and simple, but in reality he was sleeping together every night.

Therefore, another house needs to be built on top of the farm.

And this requires money.

Naturally, they would not miss this opportunity to kill the enemy for money!
Moreover, the most important thing is that they are on the side of justice this time, and they are helping the Seleucids who were invaded by the Roman Legion to defend their home and country!

The teacher is famous, and with financial incentives, the natural momentum is like a rainbow!

So one by one, veterans carrying plate armor and strong crossbows, long knives and round shields, began to board the ship one after another, embarking on a journey of upholding justice not far away.

And this kind of scene doesn't just happen in the delta settlement here, but in the entire Southern Ocean (Indian Ocean), there are fleets of sailing ships everywhere!

..............................

Balkan Peninsula, Athens City.

In the light rain, a man wearing a beautiful toga robe broke into a villa in the countryside.

This person is in his thirties and looks very dignified, but in fact his identity is indeed like this.

His name was Titus Kunctius Flaminin, and he was the former consul who led the Roman legion to defeat Macedonia in the Battle of Cynos Kephale, making the Romans the new masters of the Greek city-state in one fell swoop.

Well, the reason why I said before is because when he was fighting in the Balkans, he was stolen by the opposition from Scipio's side and successfully reorganized the Senate, which also forced him to abandon his goodwill policy towards Seleucus.

And the mansion that Flaminin broke into at this moment was the residence of his enemy Publius Cornelius Scipio.

He came here today because he received a report from an Athens businessman, saying that a group of Han Chinese suddenly appeared in the capital of Seleucid, and a large number of weapons and armor were transported from Anxi in the south!

Therefore, the war with Seleucus cannot be delayed any longer!
The Han Kingdom is an opponent they have never fought against before, but they have long been known as thunder!

The important thing is that he has learned from the merchants who went to Rome to do business that the Han Kingdom has been invincible all these years, even the northern barbarians who were said to have hundreds of thousands of cavalry were defeated by the Han Kingdom and completely surrendered to the Han Kingdom!

You must know that the biggest threat to the Romans who defeated the Phoenicians at this moment is also the barbarians in the north, such as Gaul and Germania.

The former will not be defeated by Caesar until a hundred years later, while the latter has always been entangled with Rome, and even defeated Rome once, causing the Roman emperor to shout out the famous saying "Valus returns my legion"...

Therefore, they had to completely defeat Antiochus III and force him to sign a peace treaty before Han fully intervened!
But when Flaminin looked at Scipio who appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh softly:
"Are you still sick?"
