Chapter 274 Han-Roman Non-Aggression Treaty, the peace-loving Han people!

The sky continues.

【The wealth and power of Rome aroused the endless imagination of the Han Dynasty at that time.】

[So in 97 AD, Ban Chao sent his deputy Gan Ying to represent the Han Dynasty as an official envoy to the Roman Empire.]

【The Han Dynasty at that time was far away from the borders of Rome. 】

【But after all, there is the Silk Road, so it is not completely impossible. 】

[Gan Ying set out from the Western Regions, passed through Central Asia and Iran, and arrived in Iraq. ]

【Then it was intercepted by the King of Parthia at that time. 】

【The King of Parthia received Gan Ying.】

[They used intimidation like an old grandmother coaxing her grandson.]

【According to the Parthian king, he told Gan Ying that to go from Iraq to Rome, one must take the water route.】

[First, board the ship in the Persian Gulf and sail against the strong winds, huge waves and man-eating sea monsters. ]

[This voyage can take anywhere from a few months to three years.]

【Originally, the borders of Rome had already reached Syria.】

【And Gan Ying is in Iraq. 】

[It can be said that the distance is not far, but the King of Parthia frightened him like this. 】

[It seems as if Rome is on the Trisolaran planet! ]

[Perhaps it was because Gan Ying was frightened by the long journey.]

[Perhaps it was purely because they were coerced by the King of Parthia and could not move forward.]

[In short, Gan Ying's mission to Rome ended in failure.]

【Gan Ying gave up the mission and returned home.】

[And the Han Dynasty also lost the opportunity to establish formal diplomatic relations with Rome. ]

[But if you put yourself in his shoes, you can understand why the King of Parthia lied with his eyes open and blocked Gan Ying's mission to Rome.]

[After all, the Parthian Empire could comfortably act as a middleman between the Han Dynasty and Rome.]

【If the Han Dynasty and Rome established formal relations. 】

[Both sides started to open the door! Free trade! ]

[Then the Parthian king, a trader, will have no food to eat! ]

【And there were constant wars between Parthia and Rome. 】

[What if Rome and the Han Dynasty joined forces to cause trouble? ]

[Anxi, sandwiched in the middle, is being served by two powerful nations at the same time. This blessing is definitely unbearable for Anxi.]

……

"Barrage: Gan Ying is scared, why not send a stubborn diplomat?"

"We've already arrived in Iraq. We'll be there soon."

"I asked you to go to Rome as an envoy, but you got scared and ran back? You won't be beheaded, right?"

"If it were Zhang Qian, he would definitely find it for you."

"The middleman wanted to make a profit from the price difference, so he might have stopped Gan Ying by force."

"Damn, is the route the Parthian king mentioned the Cape of Good Hope?"

"The main reason is to keep the peace, fearing that the Han Dynasty and Rome will sign a non-aggression treaty. "

《Han-Roman Non-Aggression Treaty, right?》

Poland: I know this.

"Poland was not mentioned, but there were waves everywhere."

"And at that time, a large part of Anxi's income came from being a middleman. "

……

Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, saw it on the sky.

Direct communication between the Han Dynasty and Rome was disrupted by the obstruction of the Parthian king.

He also snorted in displeasure.

"The Han Dynasty adopts an attitude of attack and conquest towards the outside world."

"But there are always limits to conquest."

"I have always wanted to open up the Western Regions. In addition to protecting the security of the Han Dynasty militarily, I also want to open up a route for foreign trade!"

"If the Rome of the West is really as powerful and rich as the sky says."

"Then he can definitely become the Han Dynasty's most important trading partner!"

"If we ship a truckload of silk over there, we can earn a hundred times the profit!"

"If we can maintain the stability of this trade route, collect taxes from it, or even directly operate a trade team."

"That will definitely help alleviate the financial crisis of our Han Dynasty."

Having said this, Liu Che couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

Over the years, I have enjoyed fighting and it has been very satisfying.

However, the domestic financial pressure is getting greater every year!

It can be said that Liu Che was poor and was afraid of being poor.

Now we see that Rome is expected to become the most important trading partner of the Han Dynasty.

It might fail because of the obstruction of the Parthian Empire.

This made Liu Che very angry!
"If the Parthian Empire stays within their borders and provides services to our Han merchant caravans," "I don't mind living in peace with them."

"I wouldn't mind giving them a portion of the Han's profits as a bribe or a rest allowance."

"But if they dare to obstruct and deceive my great man!"

"Then don't blame the big man for being so rude!"

"Nothing can stop the free trade of our Han people!"

"But the Parthian Empire is sandwiched between the Han Dynasty and Rome. I wonder how strong its army is?"

"It seems that we can explore more in the near future."

"If necessary, destroy it directly!"

And the sky screen continued to play.

【During the time when Gan Ying was on a diplomatic mission to Rome.】

【At that time, there were four major powers coexisting on the Eurasian continent. 】

[From west to east, they are Rome, Parthia, Kushan and Han. ]

[And this is the Parthian Empire that stopped the Han envoy. 】

[The Han once commented on them contemptuously: This country has weak soldiers.]

[To the Han people, Anxi is just a bunch of noobs! ]

【I just picked it up. 】

[However, it is a bit one-sided to say that the Parthian army was weak.]

[In fact, the infantry of Anxi is indeed weak, and its frontal ability is not strong. 】

【But if it is in suitable grassland or desert terrain. 】

[Let the resting cavalry run and shoot, they will indeed have a certain fighting power. ]

[The Parthian Empire was considered weak by the Han Dynasty. 】

[They suffered one of the most tragic defeats in Roman history, the Battle of Carrhae.]

[Of course, Rome had suffered so many disastrous defeats in history that one more Battle of Carrhae would not have made a big difference.]

……

【Gan Ying's mission to Rome was abandoned halfway.】

[The Han Dynasty's exploration of Rome came to an end.]

[Let's take a look at the Roman side. What do they know about the Han Dynasty? ]

【Ancient Rome called China Seres.】

[According to the records of ancient Rome, the country of Seres they wrote about was a powerful empire with a vast territory, a large population, a civilized and just society, and a simple lifestyle.]

【This country has strict laws and abundant resources. 】

[So these descriptions are quite consistent with the real-life big men. ]

【You can continue. 】

[Their records of the Han Dynasty are somewhat outrageous.]

[The Romans said: The Han people love peace and will never go to war.]

[The Han Dynasty will do its best to avoid conflicts with neighboring countries, and is even unwilling to have too much contact with neighboring countries. ]

【Regarding the attitude of the Han people, who are obviously very strong but love peace. 】

[The Romans expressed great yearning and admiration.]

[After all, Rome was a militaristic country, and invading and conquering other countries was engraved into the entire Roman DNA. ]

【So when Roman scholars learned about this. 】

[In the far east, there is a huge and powerful country, but unlike Rome, which invades other countries everywhere, it loves peace. ]

【Naturally, you will feel admiration and yearning.】

……

When the barrage viewers saw this, they finally couldn't hold it anymore.

《Hahahaha, the Han people love peace! 》

《Hun: Ah, yes, yes!》

《Hun: Yes, I traveled to Europe voluntarily.》

《Distance creates beauty, right?》

"Does this mean that the Han Dynasty is a fallen empire?"

"The Strategic Research Institute has achieved great success!"

"No more wars, that means taking over all the surrounding land that can be used for farming."

"Could it be that the translator didn't dare to say it directly?"

"Is there a possibility that the Han Dynasty was indeed in favor of peace at the beginning, and then there was a slight time lag when the information was passed on?"

"It was indeed like this during the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing. It may be that the information was delayed."

"Rome: How come your empire is so large if you love peace so much?"

"Han Dynasty: I don't know, maybe it was given as a gift when I topped up my phone bill."

"The Han Dynasty looks down on the Parthians so much, and even says that the Parthian army is weak?"

"Maybe the Han people didn't see the Parthian cavalry at that time, but only saw the Eastern infantry of Parth?"

"The Han Dynasty and Rome are the top two permanent members, and the top two permanent members definitely look down on the bottom two permanent members."
