Molested Zulong at the beginning

And an envoy wearing a palace skirt stepped down from the carriage, and hurriedly said to Bai Su who was far away on the second floor: "Master Bai, Your Majesty summons you to enter the palace quickly."

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "What happened, why did you suddenly find me, can you wait for me a little longer, my clothes will come out soon."

The messenger smiled wryly and said: "My lord Bai, what time is it now? You still have time to make clothes. The whole court is about to explode. Come and follow me into the palace. It will be later, Your Majesty." Might as well chop off my head."

Seeing the envoy's face about to cry, Bai Su couldn't help scratching his cheek: "Then just wait for me, and I will follow you into the palace."

......

......

Xianyang Palace.

A group of officials in the DPRK and China whispered, constantly discussing whether or not to send troops.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Sister Zheng looked down at the imperial court that looked like a vegetable market, her slender willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she couldn't help feeling restless for a while.

Just as she was waiting impatiently, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

"My humble minister Bai Su has seen His Majesty."

A young man in a white robe came in. This man was handsome and personable. Although he looked young, he looked quite stable.

"You paddling fisherman, you're finally here..."

Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su's familiar figure, and the irritability in her heart subsided involuntarily, her whole mood improved a lot, and there was a faint smile on her elegant and luxurious face.

Bai Su asked curiously: "I don't know what your majesty called me over?"

After pondering for a while, Zheng Jie said, "It's not that something happened to Bactria..."

She briefly described what had happened recently.

After Bai Su learned that Rome had moved from a republic to an empire, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This is really the butterfly effect.

Unexpectedly, when he opened up the gift of silk in advance and traded with various states, he directly and indirectly contributed to the collapse of the Roman Republic, which turned into an imperial system, and a Roman emperor was born.

Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su's surprised expression, and her slender eyebrows couldn't help but frowned: "Could it be... don't you have any countermeasures?"

Hearing Sister Zheng's words, all the officials in the court shook their heads and sighed.

After all, Bai Su is Daxia's only hope right now. If even Bai Su, who has high hopes, has no way to deal with it, then Daxia can only choose to withdraw his troops and make peace with Rome and Anxi.

Even the great general Wang Jian couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on his face.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Bai Su immediately understood that he was misunderstood.

He laughed a little and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be disappointed, I already have a countermeasure."

There was a look of surprise on Sister Zheng's face, and she said curiously: "Oh, tell me quickly."

Bai Su bowed his hands and saluted, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember when I led the fleet to Dongying to arrest Xu Fu?"

Sister Zheng nodded lightly: "At this time, I naturally know that you led a mighty fleet back then, carrying more than 2 sailors, crossed the sea all the way east, and took down Dongpu."

"Wait, do you want to rely on the navy to go out?"

With a smile on Bai Su's face, he said approvingly, "As expected of your Majesty, you really hit the nail on the head with one glance."

Sister Zheng frowned beautifully, and couldn't help asking: "But with the current fleet of the Central Plains, it can barely transport an army of [-] to [-]. It is not difficult for these soldiers to destroy a small country, but if they want to face For Rome, resting such a big country in peace may not help."

Many officials in the DPRK and China also nodded.

In their traditional concept, to defeat a large country, at least hundreds of thousands of troops must be dispatched.

Just [-] to [-] soldiers and horses are really too few.

There was a smile on Bai Su's face, and he explained: "The previous [-] to [-] soldiers are naturally insufficient, but after some training from me, these soldiers are all armed with flintlock guns, and can easily shoot them with one shot. One hundred enemies."

"Moreover, we are not at a disadvantage, but have a great advantage inherently."

Sister Zheng was stunned for a moment, and gave Bai Su a weird look, wondering if he was trying to make her happy.

After all, even with the advantage in equipment, the difference in size between 70 and [-] million is too big after all, which sounds a bit unreliable.

Prime Minister Li Sidei frowned, and couldn't help asking: "I wonder if Mr. Bai can explain."

Bai Su didn't care about it either, and said, "This Rome is different from our Central Plains. They don't have the so-called strategic jump. The whole country is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, divided into pieces. On weekdays, it relies entirely on ships to transport supplies, food, and troops."

"It's convenient for them to transport on weekdays, so it's also very convenient for our navy to attack. We can lead the fleet all the way west, along the Nile River in Egypt, and enter the Mediterranean Sea."

"The Roman warships are far behind ours. As long as their navy is destroyed, the entire Mediterranean Sea will allow us to enter and exit freely, and there will be no power to stop our navy's advance."

"At that time, if the troops from all over Rome respond quickly, then I will attack the places with weak troops. If the soldiers and horses are slow to rush to help, then I will land directly at the Greek port and fight all the way towards the Roman capital."

"The soldiers and horses we lead will be like a sharp knife, piercing straight through the heart of Rome."

"As long as the capital of Rome is captured and Anxi loses its greatest ally, it will naturally never dare to confront me in the Central Plains. They will surrender without us doing anything."

After hearing Bai Su's plan, the officials present gasped.

They never imagined that this navy army, which had never been valued, would have such terrifying power.

Relying on hundreds of thousands of infantry may not be able to win a war, but only relying on fifty to sixty thousand naval forces can easily disintegrate the alliance between the two great powers.

What's even more frightening is that this warship transports soldiers at a constant speed, and the cost of transporting food, grass and supplies is extremely low, which is insignificant to the consumption of the imperial court's finances.

This... this is really unbelievable.

A smile suddenly appeared on Sister Zheng's elegant and graceful face, and a pair of charming phoenix eyes stared closely at Bai Su below, her face was full of tenderness.

Although she doesn't know what is Greece, what is the Nile, what is the Mediterranean.

But there is one thing she knows very well, that is, once this battle is won, the Central Plains will completely become the only overlord in the world.

From then on, the Central Plains will completely control this trade route that concerns the fate of all nations in the world. From then on, it can rely on the sale of commodities such as porcelain, tea, silk, cotton clothes, cotton cloth, etc., in exchange for a large amount of food, gold, cotton and other resources from all countries in the world.

In this way, the prosperity of the Central Plains will reach a level that is unprecedented and unprecedented.

And she will also become an undoubted, one emperor through the ages, a model for future monarchs to follow, and will be passed down for generations to come.

Sister Zheng's heart couldn't help being excited for a while, whether Daxia's fame through the ages, whether Daxia can firmly sit on the overlord's position, depends on this battle.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and said, "Bai Su..."

Bai Su stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My minister is here."

Sister Zheng looked at the reliable figure of Bai Su in front of her, and said, "Facing the blackmail from Rome and Parthia, I backed down again and again, but they kept pressing me every step of the way."

"Especially the Roman Emperor Nero, who threatened to use troops to make me pay compensation and send tribute to Daxia."

"Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, I order you to be the commander of the navy, and immediately lead my Great Xia navy to march west to Rome..."

Under the eyes of everyone, Bai Su cupped his hands and said, "I...take orders."

Chapter 470 God's Punishment From Heaven

After many days.

There are nearly a hundred ships in Luoyang's wharf and port, covering all the north and south of the river, and looking around, it is a dark, majestic and mighty one.

There were many soldiers standing on the boat, all dressed in uniform military uniforms, holding flintlock guns, looking majestic.

Zhang Han walked slowly to Bai Su's side, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, everything is ready and we can set off."

Bai Su nodded: "I see."

Hu Yan was standing aside in a black palace dress. Seeing that Bai Su was about to leave, she couldn't help asking with some reluctance: "Sir, why do you want to go in person, can you not go?"

Bai Su sighed helplessly: "If possible, I don't want to go, but now the Central Plains lacks talents for long-distance voyages, and I don't know anything about the sea route from the Central Plains to Rome."

"Now I am the only one who has the ability to serve as the commander-in-chief and lead the fleet..."

Hu Yanhao bit his vermilion lips lightly, and after hesitating for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Then you should be careful all the way, remember to send a message back earlier, don't worry me..."

Bai Su nodded slightly, turned around, looked at Zhang Han and the others beside him, and said, "Let's go."

Zhang Han clasped his fists and complied.

The expeditionary force sent by the Central Plains this time is unprecedentedly large. In addition to the [-] to [-] troops, there are also many doctors, painters who draw nautical charts, farmers who grow fruits in the cabins, craftsmen who smelt, war horses, and livestock. etc.

Even if you don't go to the shore for supplies, you can support yourself at sea for three to five months. It is not so much an army as a sea fortress.

Standing on the port of Luoyang, Hu Yan looked at the direction where the mighty fleet was slowly leaving, Zhu Lip murmured: "May your husband have a smooth journey..."

......

......

Crash.

The salty sea breeze blows against Bai Su's cheeks.

After a long voyage, stubble had grown on his chin, his skin was slightly tanned, and he looked rough and strong.

When he held the octagonal instrument to locate the latitude and longitude.

Zhang Han walked over and stood side by side with Bai Su. She looked at the endless sea in the distance, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, how long will it take to reach the Mediterranean Sea you mentioned?"

There was also a hint of fatigue in her tone.

It's not that the life of sailing is too hard. For many years leading troops to fight, the hard days are more difficult than this. No matter how strong the enemy is, she will not have the slightest fear.

But now since going out to sea, all he can see is a blue sea every day, and he can't even see the shadow of an enemy.

This day-to-day boring life caused her to gradually become a little depressed from the high mood at the beginning.

Bai Su coughed twice and said, "If there's no problem, it should arrive in a few days."

Zhang Han gave Bai Su a strange look, and couldn't help whispering: "My lord, that's what you said a few days ago."

Bai Su smiled awkwardly, he was also very helpless.

After all, there are no accurate nautical charts these days, and the entire Central Plains is surrounded by the fog of war, which can be said to be blind.

Although he only knows the general direction and not the specifics, but relying on the size of Zheng He's treasure ship, it can sail for a long time.

Coupled with experienced crew, all the way to Rome, should not be a problem.

"grown ups……"

Bai Su woke up from his contemplation.

Zhang Han pointed to the distance, and said with some surprise: "My lord, I found a group of strange fleets ahead."

Bai Su was taken aback, and looked in the direction of her finger, only to see a boat that looked like a large dragon boat appearing in sight.

A paddle protrudes from both sides of the ship, which looks like two wings from a distance.

And above the raised sails, a red flag was erected, with a pattern like an eagle drawn on it.

Bai Su picked up the binoculars to look, and immediately smiled: "This is the flag of the Roman army."

Zhang Han's eyes lit up, and he immediately became excited: "So, we are here, and we can finally draw our swords."

Bai Su's eyelids couldn't help shaking, it seemed that the long sea voyage had almost driven her crazy.

Zhang Han clenched his fists excitedly: "Our sailors in Daxia have been training for so long, and they have magical weapons in their hands, but they don't even have a single enemy to practice their hands. Right now, the group of guys who came to our door just happened to sacrifice them first." sky."

Seeing her excited look, Bai Su couldn't help being a little funny.

But it's normal to think about it. Unlike the army, the navy in Daxia can go to suppress rebellious bandits and have various opportunities to train troops.

The navy is basically training continuously on weekdays. It may take a year and a half without a chance to fire in actual combat. Naturally, everyone's hands are itchy.

The Roman navy in the distance also seemed to have spotted them, and took the initiative to sail towards Bai Su.

It seems that since they conquered the Mediterranean area, they didn't even have a strong enemy around them. Over time, they got used to their arrogance. Obviously, they regarded Bai Su and others as ordinary merchant ships, fleets.

As the distance gradually tightened, the two sides could already vaguely see each other's silhouette.

On a Roman warship.

One of the soldiers opened his mouth in surprise, and couldn't help saying, "Oh my God, look what I saw."

"Damn it, you pissed me off. If you don't give me a good explanation, I'm going to kick your ass hard with my boots."

A Roman general frowned, walked out of the cabin, and said with a displeased expression.

The soldier hurriedly said: "General, look, I found a big boat."

The Roman general sneered: "Isn't it just a big ship, what is there to be surprised about, well... what a big ship!!!"

He turned his head to look, and the whole person froze.
