Chapter 1290 Hamilka arrives at the Imperial Capital
How much impact does a train have on an ancient man?
This can be seen from the expression on Hamilka's face alone.
"This is so fast, and it's not just pulled by horse?"
Due to the strong impact, Hamilka even stuttered when speaking.
He really couldn't believe that there was such a magical thing in the world! Li Jian felt a little secretly happy when he looked at Hamilka's appearance.
Although it is not the first time I saw someone stuttering on the train, Li Jian still feels very happy and very happy every time he sees this kind of expression.
And every time he saw this situation, Li Jian felt that his love for the Han Kingdom was even more serious.
Our great Han Kingdom is so powerful! Li Jian smiled and said to Hamilka: "Now do you know what I said?"
This train is more powerful than your carriages and sailboats. Have you seen the door of this carriage?
Go, open it, walk around and see how many cars there are!"
Hamilka stood up in a daze and walked out along the carriage door.
Beside Li Jian, several colleagues from the intelligence department couldn't help but laugh: "Deputy Minister Li, aren't you afraid that this messenger will fall off the train?"
Li Jian smiled even more: "Falling off the train?
Stop making trouble, normal people will not be surprised to this point."
Having said that, Li Jian followed Hamilka out quickly. He was really worried. After all, Hamilka looked a little lost.
Hamilka walked all the way, walked six cars before finally reaching the end.
Standing here, Hamilka could clearly see that the train was whistling in the wind and snow, leaving all the white earth behind.
Hamilka was silent for a long time and suddenly spoke to Li Jian: "Will you choose to start a war in winter?"
Li Jian understood what Hamilka meant and said with a smile: "We won't do it before."
Not before, what about in the future?
With the train, I believe that many questions do not need to be answered, and Hamilka himself can get the answer.
Hamilka breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Now I have begun to doubt whether it is a good or a bad idea when I come to you for help."
Li Jian patted Hamilka on the shoulder and said with a smile: "To be honest, sometimes we all need some guidance from fate, whether it is good or bad, only history will tell us the answer."
Xianyang is here.
Although Xianyang is not located in the Central Plains, since Xianyang is still at the necessary railway node from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, and it is the last Central Plains metropolis that I passed before heading to the Western Regions, it is also particularly prosperous.
Hamilka looked at the high walls of Xianyang City through the carriage for a long time, and then said, "This place should not be your capital yet?"
Li Jian nodded: "Yes, it will take about two or three days."
Hamilka sighed, I don’t know how many times he has been sighing these days: “It’s really hard to imagine what a magnificent city your capital is.”
“Great?”
After hearing this sentence, Li Jian smiled: "Actually, it is a city you have never seen before."
Three days later, Hamilka walked out of the railway station and saw countless houses and pedestrians. He was immediately caught in huge doubts and shock.
"Your capital is so big that it can't even be seen in the city wall?"
In Hamilka's sight, there was no trace of the city wall.
Li Jian laughed: "You are wrong. It's not that you can't see the city wall, but that there is no city wall at all!"
Hamilka: "..." Even though he had already prepared himself mentally, this answer was still completely beyond his expectations.
There are no walls.
There is no city wall?
In this world, there are still cities that do not have walls.
Moreover, it is a capital city! Li Jian stood beside Hamilka with a smile and said, "Our Emperor Majesty said that if an empire has been defeated by the enemy, it means that the demise of this empire is close. If that is the case, what's the difference between a city wall?"
Hamilka was shocked and couldn't help but take two steps back.
At this moment, Hamilka was really impressed by the domineering aura in Zhao Kuo's words! At this moment, Hamilka suddenly felt something and looked up and found a young man walking towards him with a smile.
The young man smiled and said a few words to Hamilka. Because it was Yayan, Hamilka couldn't understand.
Li Jian, who was standing beside him, saluted respectfully, and then translated: "This is Prince Zhao Qian, the Crown Prince of our Great Han Kingdom. He said that it was His Majesty who asked him to welcome you."
Hamilka was immediately flattered and said stammeringly: "I have met His Highness the Prince."
After so many days of travel, Hamilka has already gained a very intuitive understanding of the power of the Han Kingdom.
In Hamilka's view, the Han Kingdom was much stronger than Carthage, and neither of the two countries were even on the same level.
Under such circumstances, the prince of the Han Dynasty was able to come to greet him in person, which undoubtedly had great respect for Hamilka and Carthage, and it could even be said that he was a bit too much.
Looking at Hamilka's crampage, Zhao Qian also smiled.
"The envoy came from afar, so let's have a good meal and rest for a few days with me.
When you have rested, my father will naturally meet you."
...In the palace, Zhao Kuo was having a meal, and Mao Sui appeared to report.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has received the Hamilka envoy."
Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Very good, let Qian'er talk to him. As the emperor of the Han Kingdom in the future, there will be fewer such opportunities in the future."
Why not much?
Because the whole world will be from the Han Kingdom in the future, there are indeed not many opportunities to receive foreign envoys... Mao Sui nodded and continued: "According to previous news, Carthage should be defeated soon, but he just doesn't know how the Romans would stipulate this victorious treaty."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Although Rome is a republic, the republic does not mean a country that values peace.
The next treaty signed by Rome will be a treaty that is extremely harsh for Carthage, and all we have to do is provide Carthage with enough confidence and strength to continue their endless battles with the Romans in the Mediterranean.
