Is this the capital of the Roman Empire?Sure enough, it is a majestic and famous city, really worthy of its great reputation!

Li Shizhen is one of the hundreds of households in the escorting mission company. These years of combat career have greatly improved his knowledge, but he is still overwhelmed by the magnificent buildings of Constantinople in front of him.

He is also considered a veteran of the Shenji Battalion. Counting from Asia, he participated in many battles and battles, and almost traveled all over Asia. (138 reading, novels are faster and better. 138 reading.)

Counting the countries that Shenjiying has flattened in the past few years, it can be said that there is no repetition in the first half of the day.Plane Travel Guide 1662

However, Li Shizhen was not impressed by such a view of the country. Except for a few amazing places in Tianzhu, there is no place to remember.

However, at this time, when he came to Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, he felt the breath of a great power rushing directly to his face. Perhaps this was the first time he was surprised after leaving Daming.

The endless city walls can barely see the edge. Although the city walls of the outer city are not comparable to the domestic capital, the second-story city walls of the inner city are almost as different as Jinling.

Outer wall, moat, inner wall of moat, steep slope retaining wall, outer city tower, outer city wall, inner city tower, inner city wall...

Even in Li Shizhen's eyes, Li Shizhen secretly nodded in praise of the layer-by-layer defense facilities. The city wall made of pure granite was extremely strong, and Li Shizhen also saw the outer battlements hidden in it to cover the soldiers.

Under the various rock walls, there are caves for soldiers and warehouses in a patchwork pattern.Outer and inner city walls There are nearly a hundred towers and more than 300 turrets and bunkers in Shanghai. The towers protrude at least 2 feet from the city wall, which is enough to form a strong fire support.

Even if this is not counted, there are 6 or 7 feet of wide moats around the city wall, which is enough to delay any enemy's attack.

To be honest, this is the boldness that a real big country should have, at least Li Shizhen and the brothers around him think so.

Although he has never looked down on these envoys from the Great Qin Kingdom, at this moment Li Shizhen has to admit that this country still has a little capital to talk to the Ming Empire - of course, it is impossible to think about equal dialogue!

No matter how much he praised the other party, Li Shizhen didn't think that there was still a country in the world that could be equal to the Ming Empire.

Of course, although the walls of the Roman Empire were beautifully built and might be able to withstand threats from any other country, for Daming Shenjiying, no matter how strong the city was, it could be flattened with a little force.

As long as the Thunder God artillery is used, taking this city is basically as simple as going home and visiting the back garden.

In fact, this is also true in the history of parallel time and space. Constantinople faced the Ottoman Turkish Empire army with artillery and finally fell after resisting for a full 2 ​​years.

Even standing outside the city, you can clearly see many towering buildings in the city.

Although the Eastern Roman Empire was called the Byzantine Empire by later generations, in fact they never called themselves so.

Although the main body of the empire was the Greek nation, and even the culture was heavily influenced by Greece, they always firmly believed that they were the Roman Empire.

Therefore, in terms of the layout of Constantinople, it is also as close as possible to Rome, almost copying the layout of Rome.

The entire city is located on a hill, so the Holy Palace complex, the racing arena and the Hagia Sophia stand most prominently under the sky, and people who come from afar can see the magnificence at first sight.

In particular, the huge dome on the top floor of the Hagia Sophia was originally used as a lighthouse. As long as there are ships coming from the sea, they will definitely see it at the first time.Plane Travel Guide 1662

When the mission fleet returned to Constantinople from the Sea of ​​Marmara, everyone was shocked by the Hagia Sophia seen from the sea at first glance.After asking, I realized that it was a temple of the Roman Empire.

Christopher, the envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire, saw the astonishment of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and immediately showed off proudly: "This is the Hagia Sophia of our country, and it is the pride of Constantinople. Even if you are from You must have never seen such a majestic temple building in the magical East, right?"

Li Shizhen couldn't see him like this. After listening to the interpreter's explanation, he sneered and said, "What is this? Compared with my sky street in the capital of Ming Dynasty, it is simply the light of fireflies trying to compare the brilliance of the bright moon!"

Lian Lian next to him also snorted coldly: "Isn't it better to boast after you have seen Daming's Temple of Heaven and Liuli Tiangong? Hmph, I really don't mind shuddering!"

"I said, why do you have to argue with this little guy who has never seen the world? Even if you win, what is there to be proud of?" Although Li Shizhen also can't understand the other party's frivolity, but he pretends to be a lesson again and again.

The envoy Christopher next to him was taken aback after hearing the interpreter's explanation: Is there any building in this world more majestic than the Sovia Cathedral?Well, it must be that these soldiers of the Ming Empire are bragging for fear of embarrassment!

But the next moment, he became suspicious again.The troops of the Ming Empire are so powerful and unparalleled, and many of the fighting methods are unheard of by him. Could it be that he is not lying, but is there really any powerful building in the country?

Since he hesitated in his heart, his confidence dropped a lot: "Your Excellency, I don't know where the Tianjie you and your colleagues are talking about? Is there a great building like the Hagia Sophia?"

"Hehe, then the envoy needs to find a chance to go to my Daming Capital to take a look, otherwise I can guarantee that you will regret it!"

"That is to say, if you have never been to Tianjie in your life, it is tantamount to living in vain."

Under the praise of Li Shizhen and Deputy Lian, Christopher suddenly felt a little itchy: "Is this so-called Tianjie really powerful? Can you give me a brief introduction so that I can experience it too?"

"Of course it's really amazing! What kind of temple of yours is nothing compared to Tianjie. Your holy... Hagia Sophia temple is probably built by craftsmen, right?"

Of course Christopher nodded, wasn't it built by craftsmen, could it be that it popped out of the stone?That is the pinnacle of European architecture, enough to stand proud for 1000 years.

"But the Tianjie of our Great Ming capital was not built by craftsmen!"

Li Shizhen's light words made Christopher almost half stupid: "What? No... You mean, I may have heard something wrong. The sky streets in your country were not built by craftsmen?"

"Of course, if it is an existence that craftsmen can create, is it worth your lifetime to see it?"

But this building was not made by craftsmen, so how could it appear?It can't be conjured out of thin air by the gods, right?Although God is omnipotent, I have never heard of such a thing.

"Hmph, I don't know if your God is omnipotent, but our Tang Shangxian is absolutely omnipotent. And you are right, the Tianjie in the capital of our country was moved down from the heaven by Tang Shangxian out of thin air."

"It's impossible!" Just after denying Li Shizhen's statement, Christopher came to his senses the next moment: "I'm sorry, maybe I misheard something just now, maybe you can say it again?"

"Of course there is no problem. Tianjie is a good place for Tang Shangxian to move down from the heaven. It is the place where the gods live."

This affirmative tone directly made Christopher feel ridiculous, but he didn't know what to say when he wanted to refute.After all, he had never seen the so-called Paradise Street before, and now he heard people say it with such certainty, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head firmly: "Your Excellency, do you know what you are talking about? We should not make fun of the gods. This is a very dangerous behavior. Facing the omnipotent God, we should Be more devout." Travel Guide to the Planes 1662

Unexpectedly, under his strict words, Li Shizhen looked at him with a very strange look. After a long time, she shook her head with a self-conscious smile and said, "I can't explain it to you. You still need to use your eyes to understand many things." It's better to see clearly."

Although such an attitude was plain, it made Christopher feel that the other party was completely disdainful of arguing with him any longer, and the self-confidence contained in it almost made him collapse.

It wasn't until he finally had the opportunity to set foot on the Daming Capital and saw Tianjie not long later that he really understood it.

The so-called Tianjie is not a place that can be owned by the world at all. Compared with it, the Hagia Sophia Cathedral is as huge as the gap between stones and precious jade.

But since we are talking about this topic now, Christopher also wants to know more about the mystery - for example, who is the so-called Shangxian Tang?It can be compared with God!

In his mind, this so-called Tang Shangxian should be a god worshiped in the eastern world, right?Do you know of any miracle legends?Knowing more about the mysteries of it will also be helpful for future diplomatic negotiations.

"What? You mean that Tang Shangxian is still alive? And he has officially settled down in the Ming Empire?"

This is too exaggerated, right?In any case, Christopher did not expect such an answer to be asked in the end.

If this is true, doesn't it mean that there is still a god protecting the Ming Empire in the world?

"Of course, what do you think is going on? Let me tell you, Tang Shangxian is still my master of Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that the other party's pride was written directly on his face without any falsehood, Christopher's heart skipped a beat. I'm afraid this is true!

But the next moment, a brand new idea rose from my heart without hesitation, and it became more and more determined.

Well, maybe this is an opportunity, I can definitely report the details about Tang Shangxian to His Majesty and the Prime Minister as a key part of this mission!Well, just do it!
