Chapter 1287 Hamilka, the messenger of Carthage
Just as Zhao Kuo and Zhao Qian and his son were having a game with Ashoka, something was happening in the distant Egyptian province in the western part of the Han Dynasty.
Several ships came from the sea and were heading towards the shore.
A very heroic middle-aged general stood on the bow of the ship. It can be seen from his face and clothes that he was not from the Han Dynasty.
The general looked at the city in front of him, and his face couldn't help but sigh.
"The last time I came here, it was ten years ago.
Unexpectedly, in just ten years, the once powerful Ptolemaic dynasty had completely disappeared."
Next to the middle-aged general, an escort couldn't help but say, "General Hamilka, do you think this so-called Han Kingdom will really help us?"
The general, known as Hamilka, was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know if the Han Dynasty will help us, but now the Romans are aggressive, we have no choice but to find allies."
The guard said: "Where are the countries over Greece?"
Hamilka shook her head and said, "If it were a few years ago, they would have the power to fight.
But now, they have been terrified by the Han Dynasty. Even self-protection is a problem. How can they help us again?"
While speaking, the ship was slowly leaning on the dock.
Hamilka jumped off the ship and said to the dock official who walked up to it: "I am Hamilka, the messenger from Carthage. I hope to see His Majesty the Emperor of your Han Kingdom."
That night, Hamilka met the Egyptian Governor of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Dongzheng.
Zhou Dongzheng is 36 years old this year. He is also the first batch of graduates in the Han Dynasty Academy. After step-by-step efforts, he finally got a high position.
Zhou Dongzheng looked at Hamilka in front of him and said slowly: "The envoy of Carthage actually traveled thousands of miles to the land of our great Han Kingdom. I wonder what the intention is?"
The territory ruled by Carthage was mainly in Tunisia and northern Algeria, and Libya was separated from the westernmost territory of Egypt controlled by the Great Han Kingdom.
Hamilka performed a ritual towards Zhou Dong's administration, and then said solemnly: "Hello, Dear Governor Zhou, I am Hamilka, the messenger of Carthage. Now the despicable Romans are invading our territory. We hope to get your help."
After hearing Hamilka's words, Zhou Dongzheng's expression was quite subtle.
As the governor of the Egyptian province, Zhou Dongzheng had another secret task in addition to governing the Egyptian region, which was to help the intelligence department of the Han Kingdom collect information from Carthage and Rome.
Why collect information from these two places?
Zhou Dongzheng didn't have to think about it, of course he was preparing to conquer these two places in the future! Unexpectedly, there were people from Carthage who came to him on his own initiative, which was completely beyond Zhou Dongzheng's expectations.
Zhou Dongzheng pondered for a while and said slowly: "I need to know the actual situation before I can make a judgment on whether to rule your envoy to our great emperor."
"Dear wife, I have arrived safely in Alexandria. The Governor of the Great Han Kingdom here will send someone to escort me to the capital of this mysterious and unknown country to meet their great and powerful emperor.
