Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

Chapter 4 The tune that the great emperors love to play

() The Morris plan has a lot of loopholes.How could it be possible to kidnap hundreds of people, even if a dozen pigs were lost, it would attract attention, let alone hundreds of people.Therefore, normal people with normal thinking will immediately reject and veto this kind of kidnapping.But there are a few guys around Morris who are not normal people, are they?

Constance and Valens are also two perverts.After realizing the loophole, what they thought of was not to veto it, but to patch it up. With the addition of Morris, the proposer, the three of them immediately conceived a kidnapping procedure comparable to Hollywood blockbusters!

Kidnapping the population has turned into extorting money, reducing the number of kidnappings, identifying worthy kidnapping targets, and then eliminating them one by one according to the background of the targets, drawing the conclusion that all locals should be eliminated, and then continue to select targets, and finally in a short period of digestion During the breakfast time, the three guys worked out a series of arrangements including site visits, kidnapping planning, and aftermath measures.

Ignoring the stunned group of quasi-accomplices next to us with black lines on their heads who were directly counted into the criminal plan without any explanation, this proposal was sent to Alexander.

Without even thinking about it, Alexander left it as one of the backup plans.

For the next time, everyone spent the time in the instructor's class. Due to some intense outdoor sports, everyone was covered in sweat. After simply changing into dry clothes, it was time to go home.

Our group of more than 30 people plus the guards waiting in front of the door formed a mighty cavalry team of over a hundred people.

The Constantine West Point Military Academy is located on a small highland on the side of Constantinople, and the road winding out from the military academy gate connects to the main road into the city.There are many pedestrians in twos and threes on the road, but most of them are merchants who use donkeys or horses to draw goods, and some even start business directly on both sides of the road as they walk.

The sea water slaps the coast, splashing white waves. Behind the winding avenue is the famous Constantinople. However, because Constantinople is too large, all you can see is the whole city. The tip of the iceberg, the walls of Theodosius II.

The city wall of Theodosius II, the city wall built with huge financial resources is very shocking. I really have to use a feeling to describe it. I walked into the movie and saw Minas in the third part of the Lord of the Rings. The White City of Tirith is similar.Speaking of the city of Minas Tirith, I have to mention the 10-minute fierce battle in the movie. That fierce battle can be regarded as the classic of all magical epic blockbusters. Hundreds of years ago, Constantinople also encountered a tragedy similar to that of Minas Tirith. Without opening the plug-in hula, people block and kill people, and monsters block and kill monsters. The undead army.In the future, if there is a man named Tolkien in the UK, he probably won't have to worry about Lord of the Rings anymore. In the future, Hollywood can also directly appropriate the scene that happened under the city of Constantinople at that time.It is a pity that such a fantasy masterpiece as Lord of the Rings is missing.

Just when I was in such a trance, we passed through the city gate, and the vision in front of us suddenly changed, and the vicissitudes of life came oncoming, ancient but not lifeless.The beautiful dim sky above the head, the crisp sound of horseshoes stepping on the stone road, breathing the air of the thousand-year-old capital, and looking at the magnificent buildings scattered high and low in the distance and the church with a high cross erected in the distance, this is Constantinople dusk.

A group of us walked through the Constantine Square near the city walls of Constantinople before we scattered and went home, and it didn't take long to leave.

Alexander pretended to be casual and asked: "You haven't expressed your opinion today, is there any idea that is inconvenient to say?"

I couldn't help smiling when I thought of Alexander's move to leave that plan as a candidate, and I asked, "brother, to be honest, do you really want to conquer the world and become king?"

"Returning the Mediterranean Sea to our inland lake is my biggest dream since I was a child. Don't you always know it?" Alexander said with an expression of knowingly asking and being too lazy to talk nonsense with you.

"But don't you think that's nonsense?" I said.

Alexander didn't answer my question right away, he asked instead: "What do you want to say?"

"Okay, let me ask you in another way. On the day you were born, was there a vision from the sky? It was a prophecy made by a person who pretended to be a ghost and made it look like a psycho, but said that he was a prophet, predicting that you would be the one who ruled the world in the future. , and then many impressive miracles were born. Not to mention lightning, thunder, and volcanic eruptions, the year you were born, when someone mentions it, there will always be an impression that it was an unusual year, um, for example Cows and horses gave birth to one more child, chickens, ducks and geese laid a dozen more eggs, fields yielded [-] catties per mu, and women gave birth to more than one child in that year, or unmarried virgins conceived first.”

"It's normal for an unmarried virgin to conceive first." Alexander corrected my mistake, and then he squeezed his chin and began to recall, "It seems that there is no such thing. The most special thing is that our mother called it It’s loud, does it count? But what does it matter to me that horses, cows, chickens, ducks, and geese are prolific and women have multiple babies? I didn’t do it.”

"Of course I know that you didn't do it, brother, but you also know that the birth of the great emperor and the person with a heavy responsibility just like to play this tune? Take the first few hundred years as an example, the one who was expelled in the Fourth Crusade The great emperor of Constantinople who defeated the Crusaders and defended it is still said that in the year he was born, a prophet predicted that he would be the one who saved our Roman Empire, and that God would always be by his side. There are many miracles, including Many cows and horses gave birth to twins, women had several babies at once, many eggs and duck eggs had double yolks, and the crops were ripe all year round." I counted my fingers carefully and listed the miracles that accompanied the birth of the great emperor before throwing out The point is, "Look, even the great emperor who was born with so many miracles barely expelled the Mongols when he was dying, and just recovered Asia Minor. But the two of us, one did not come out to prophesy, and the other did not let the mother Horses, cows, and women are prolific, and hens, ducks, and geese lay more eggs. Third, there is no such thing as a crop yield of [-] catties per mu. What is most peculiar is that our mother screams louder. Based on this alone, we Can you fulfill your dream of conquering the world?"

Alexander had a black line in his head: "Do you believe this kind of words that can only deceive three-year-olds?"

"Don't you feel a heavy and sacred sense of mission because of this?" Alexander doesn't understand, so I won't bother to say it.And I dare say that the guy who made a lot of money in the Fourth Crusade is undoubtedly a time traveler. If those rumors are true, this guy must have a system or magical body protection, Constantine West Point Military Academy It is the product of his tossing here, and his biggest product is to keep the Byzantine Empire, which should have declined, alive and kicking until now.

Alexander shook his head: "I feel a vomit churning in my stomach."

I smiled and said, "I think it's quite interesting. The Muslims in the south must have felt the same way, so they took it and used it."

Alexander was amused, and his loud laughter attracted a strange look from the passing crowd.I smiled slightly and touched the tip of my nose. The joke that Alexander thought was impossible was still a little bit possible in my opinion.One must know that even the most nonsensical time travel has appeared, what else is impossible?However, according to my years of observation, Alexander did not possess Alexander the Great.

"Sometimes, I really wish you were the wise and mighty Alexander the Great in history."

Conquering the world is a very difficult dream, even if it is only the world in Alexander's mind, but it is many times more difficult than liberating black people.Two lifetimes, two lifetimes. Before Alexander, the most insane dream I ever saw was that when I was in elementary school, an idiot wrote in his composition that he wanted to be the President of the United States.The teacher praised him for his ideals and creativity. In fact, we all know that guy really didn't know how to write and just babbled.Although I don't have similar grand or even huge ideals, I know that every dream must have certain external conditions and internal factors in order to realize it.Not to mention the external conditions.On a personal level alone, one's tolerance for failure is important.I don't want Alexander to be crippled after one or two failures, and a crippled pervert is no different from an ordinary person, isn't he?Then wouldn't I become bored by then.

To be honest, I don't expect Alexander's luck to be that bad, but who knows where the damn wheel of fate will pass.Besides, this world is not the world I am familiar with, that is to say, the historical knowledge I have mastered can't play a role in avoiding evil and bringing good luck to him.This is one of the greatest misfortunes for the traversers.

After I finished speaking, I glanced at that old man, only to see that he put away his smile and looked at me faintly: "Is that why you have no confidence?"

"Relying on the great achievements of the great emperor in history, I can relieve a lot of worry. You know, I have always been concerned about my appearance. What if I worry too much and become bald? After all, we will be enemies of the world in the future!" I After speaking with a smile, he immediately rolled his eyes at Alexander.

He snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if Alexander is alive, the wars of this era are no longer the wars he was familiar with in his era. Although the series of great achievements he established in the past are indeed impressive, don't forget that our starting point is the same! Perhaps he Experience can add a lot to him, but it doesn't mean that I am worthless, the most important thing is, that great emperor, he can't afford to lose, but I can."

I was a little emotional, because Alexander's words, so what if Alexander is alive, resonated a lot with me as a human being in these two lives.Although I dare not say that what he said is absolutely correct, in many respects, I, a guy with a mature soul, do not have much advantage over him and others.Like learning how to do mass murder and arson from old scumbags, I was educated on basically the same level as Alexander and others.

"Brother's point of view is very novel, and it seems to be quite reasonable." I opened my mouth in surprise, come on, since everyone has realized it, I can save myself a lot of nonsense.

"of course!"

Quickly changing the subject, I casually asked about a guy in the group of followers on the road who had been grimacing, so I asked Alexander.Alexander's face became a little unnatural at this moment.He told me that the guy was told by the guard that he was most likely going on a blind date.

Go on a blind date?

Just those virgins?

Just those guys who are almost [-] or [-] and still virgins? !

No, it's not that group, it's that one!

A complex emotion rushed into my heart. Ever since I thought I was smart enough to keep the old scumbag's secret, no one has ever robbed me of beautiful girls, but because of the weird education of these bastards and that old pervert, I got Still a virgin....God, I've waited so long for this day to finally come!Now that someone can finally go on a blind date, does that mean I'm ready to have such a beautiful day?

Hehehe, there are many beautiful noble ladies in Constantinople.I heard that a club named **Lishe is all young noble girls, and I don't know who the lucky guy's blind date is.

The youngest daughter of the Storakios family is a beautiful woman. The daughter of the Longabi family is as famous as her, and the sisters of the Artabasdus family are a little older. The three sisters are young enough, but they are also too young. It is said that the daughters of the Zeno family and the Gimiski family are the most eye-catching at every banquet. The reputation of the Rufinus girl It is only slightly inferior to the first two, but it is related to the Valens family....

A little stunned, a little surprised, and a little relieved, but more of a gloat and a desire to watch a good show.Before Alexander found out his true colors, he hurriedly put away his wretched face with crooked nose and slanted eyes, and then I said solemnly: "We must extend a helping hand to this companion who has stepped into hell with one foot, and get him out of hell. Pull it out!"
