Chapter 532 [Anti-Bone One]
The situation in Persia is very delicate now. The provincial governors and nobles are watching the scenery, and have not yet made up their minds to throw themselves into Abu Hassan's arms or to bow to Mogina's pomegranate skirt; while Sussa's Kodorman's remnants have waved the flag of China, and welcomed Silde and some of the Yongjin cavalry he commanded into the political, economic and cultural center of this Persian Empire. (The previous chapter confuses Kodorman and Xerxes III, has been revised)
According to Bai Dong's plan, Pang Juan's army will be secretly transferred to the near Istanbul Strait. This famous general on land will try to practice water war. His soldiers will also take off their thick armor and learn water nature, and complete the gorgeous turn from landscaping to water ducks as soon as possible; while Sun Bin returns to Lao Qin and continues to complete his military theoretical research. The two who really stayed in Persia are the two young masters and Sildes. The young master will become the highest military commander of the Qin State stationed in Persia. On the one hand, they control Abu Hassan and Mogina, and deal with possible changes in Persia at any time. On the other hand, they suppress Silde, a crazy boy with a surging murderous intention with the dual identities of young masters and seniors. This boy was originally a good game, but he always felt uncontrollable, and he was more murderous and more like a devil. If it were not for the suppression of the young masters and young masters, Bai Dong was really afraid that he would go against the sky.
This arrangement is practical and at the same time can also reassure Ying Quliang; there are two "pseudo-governments" in Persia now competing in secret, and the military power is firmly in the hands of the young master. The 30,000 Wei Wushu under Pang Juan can only learn to swim honestly on the Western coast, and there is no chance of rebellion. Pang Juan has long lost his home, where can he go to rebel against Lao Qin? Moreover, all the logistics supplies of these 30,000 troops depend on the young master's transfer, and the job is controlled. Any hero and hero must become a good little white rabbit. How can Pang Juan be exception?
The Istanbul Strait is not far from Lydia, but Mogina still doesn't have the courage to show kindness to Pang Juan. What's more, she is busy lifting up her pomegranate skirt every day, attracting those swaying Persian nobles, how could they even have the intention to make trouble? Otherwise, even if Bai Dong is not annoyed, the young master dares to cut off her head! The young master who has studied in Fengming Academy for two years is not the stupid man who only chased Bai Dong's butt and called "Brother of the Bai Family". Now she has transformed into a general with strong control and strong control, and even Qin Guan, who even praised Sun Bin, would Bai Dong feel at ease to hand over Persia to him?
Silde was transferred to Susa from Ying Quliang. Originally, in Bai Dong's opinion, Abu Hassan had more blood and influence than Mogina, a woman with half Greek ancestry. So in the early days when Mogina tried to control the province of Lydia, he ordered Silde to lead some Yongqin cavalry to help him, and soon helped Mogina gain control of Lydia and had the conditions to compete with Abu Hassan. However, when Lydia and Huassar entered the confrontation stage and began
After the competition for the people, Abu Hassan, who was closer to China by Buzhou Mountain, gradually gained an advantage. The number of Persian nobles under his sect far exceeded Mogina, and the army quickly expanded to 30,000. The power far exceeded Mogina. Abu Hassan was obviously more capable than Bai Dong expected. In order to balance the strength of both sides, Bai Dong originally intended to let Silde continue to station troops in Lydia, but Ying Quliang actually issued a letter himself and ordered Silde to lead his army to return east to accept Susa, who had been waving the flag lowering, without having to participate in the competition between Mogina and Abu Hassan.
Since Ying Quliang is destined, Bai Dong naturally doesn't have much to say. At least this second brother still supports him in the proposal of "using barbarians to control barbarians", but he is a little biased with Abu Hassan and secretly suppressing Mojina's development; perhaps because Mojina once lived in the Bai family for a long time and had a deep impression of the Bai family? This cannot be blamed for the second brother. Since ancient times, he is smart enough to be a king, otherwise he will not even know how to die. This has nothing to do with brotherhood. Friendship between brothers and brothers discuss friendship, and friendship between kings and ministers discuss power and strategy, which is originally a thousand years of unchanging truth.

The famous Arlica oil well in later generations was far from being dug. Now Susa has not been polluted by the industrial age, and is still a beautiful city with blue sky, exquisite glazed bricks and colorful tents. The Persian nobles living here have incredible living habits. What they love most is to set up huge tents in ornate palaces full of Babylonian style to live. It is cool in winter and warm in summer, and it is very proud. On the contrary, ordinary civilians love to live in houses. Some economic conditions
Every time a good civilian saves some money, he will run to the famous Persian Imperial Road. There are many hotels here, and you only need to spend a silver coin to eat the most delicious food. You can drink wine that has been stored for more than three years, and there are slaves from all over the world for him to choose from. The female slaves from the Nile River are among the best. They have ivory skin and blue eyes, breasts and butts, but with thin waists, which can be held with just one hand. It is simply a gift given to the Persians by the gods.
The Persian Imperial Road, which was built since the Darius era, is exactly the opposite of the Persian Empire, which gradually declined. It is now entering its heyday. This 5,000-mile imperial road is really a miracle in the history of human architecture. It starts from Susa, goes west to the Tigris River, and then passes through Syria and Asia Minor, and finally arrives at Ephesus on the Aegean Sea. On this long monarchy, there is an imperial post station every fifty miles to ensure the smooth operation of the "Persian Post". If pigeon cages and eagle cages with "white zi characteristics" are added to these post stations, this monarchy can be called an information channel.
Just as darkness is always hidden in the sun, the establishment of this imperial road was originally derived from the slave economy. A large number of slaves were transported from Europe and Africa across the Mediterranean. After repeated selection and selection, the best of them were transported to Susa through this imperial road for purchase by the nobles and wealthy civilians. It is not an exaggeration to say that half of this imperial road was built by slave traders.
On both sides of the Imperial Road in the outskirts of Susa, there are several famous hotels. The biggest feature of these hotels is not wine and food, but in slave stores next to the hotel. Every noon, there will be carriages full of slaves coming here. Slave dealers will make slaves stand in rows on the auction table, take off their tops and reveal their strong or white pink milk, break open their mouths and reveal their snow-white teeth, and then sell them like selling goods. Every time the gong sounds, buyers who eat and drink until they are full of wine and food will happily stand by the auction hall to bid. Here, the strong male slaves and beautiful female slaves are the most popular goods, and they can usually be photographed with two to three Daliokes.
The Langk Hotel has the largest nearby store. Every three days in the first and middle of the month and the end of the month, a large number of new slaves will be transported here, each of which is the best goods. Susa's highest slave auction price was sold here several times. Today is the first of the month, and as usual, the top slaves will be transported to it. So before noon arrived, there were dozens of big buyers preparing to buy slaves next to the store. There were almost no civilians, all of them were aristocrats with status. Today,
The more turbulent Persia was, the more prosperous the slave transactions became. The little nobles wanted to buy slaves to curry favor with the great nobles. The great nobles also needed high-quality slaves to please those who might have the power of the empire in the future. Several provincial governors even searched for the best slaves everywhere, preparing to give them to "Chinese New Year's High Principals" like the young masters and Silde. Now the price of top slaves has been hyped up to three times the previous one, which has already made the civilian class unattainable.
"Mu Xijing, you are a smart person. Do you know why Bai Dong did this? My mentor is Bai Zi, a famous man in the world. He is famous for his kindness and kindness. I just killed a few people in Mulu City, so he was scolded by him and even refused to let Cao'er marry me. But he ordered the five major trading companies of the Bai family, Fan family, Xu family, Gan family, and Du family to acquire a large number of slaves in Persia, and pushed the price of slaves three times. Could this be the kind and kind Bai Zi?" (To be continued)
