Chapter 687 Roman Orthodoxy

There was no too much discussion at all, and this matter was easily agreed. The queen of the Regent Persia nodded in recognition. The Persian aristocratic class supported it, and the relevant preparations were instantly launched. The relationship between Persia and Rome was to fight when it was time to fight and do business when it was time to do business. No matter who could not leave anyone, the Persian Empire did control the trade route geographically.

Facing the Jin army stationed not far from Taixifeng, the Persians chose to obey again. It was not that the Persians were afraid to confront Sima Ji, because public opinion had already formed. It was obvious that if they wanted to defeat this eastern army, they needed to work together. Now the other party was dealing with the Arabs, and the Holy Fire Order with ancient Persia was leaked. It was said that it was a sacred object of the Zoroastrian religion, so we had to consider it.

Since the beginning, when the Jin army came from Khorasan, the difficulty of starting a war has increased a lot more than that time. Sima Ji has never been worried. If the Persian nobles really did this, the King of Yan might have to try whether the Persian revolution could incite.

Look at whether Persian civilians who don’t know a word can be incited by nationalism or class. This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the hinterland of the Great Jin Dynasty. Sima Ji is not afraid of causing trouble this time. His agitation before the war with Sima Ying has now become a taboo in China. All parties tacitly regard this matter as never before. At most it is just a matter of the status of a military class.

Sima Ji never wants to use the class thing again. If the enemy is limited to the national scope, he can at least define a rough range. If it becomes a class issue, he will not know how big the enemy's scope is. As the instinct of the ruling class, Sima Ji deliberately forgets what happened before.

"General Murong Han has replied, preparing to return in a month, and it should be late December. From the horse tent, we can know that the troops and horses are getting a lot." Tang Qiang looked through the battle report sent back by Murong Han and said with mixed joys and sorrows, "General Murong Han's military achievements are finally admired. Fortunately, this person serves my Great Jin, so the consequences will be unimaginable."

"What's the unimaginable? Cherish the hard-won opportunity. Will he dare to rebel? The 80,000 troops in his hands are my support. And Murong Han may not return to the Great Jin Dynasty." Sima Ji said to Tang Qiang in a double conversation. He had talked to Murong Han in depth that the other party might be independent in the river.

The reason why Murong Han works so hard now is that he has attracted some subordinates to leave the idea of ​​helping him. However, the confident subordinates are all among the Murong family's soldiers, and the soldiers of the other three departments are still a bit in trouble. It is considered that Murong Han has a great reputation as being able to pull over ten thousand soldiers among the four Xianbei vassals. You should know that many small countries in the Western Regions have only 800 soldiers.

"King Yan, after many inquiries, we found the oil in our mouths. A hundred miles southeast, black oil often poured out below the local land, which could be used to ignite. Many local people said that there was a hell connected below." While discussing, Zhou Rong came in from outside the account, wearing a cotton coat, and said with some sweat stains on his forehead, panting.

"The winter clothes prepared are a bit thick, but they are prepared for any reason. If we are still in the river at this time, we can use them." Sima Ji looked at Zhou Rong's appearance and said jokingly, "Since you find them, get some back. You may be able to use them after entering Rome."

Is it winter in the Mesopotamia? Now it seems that it is not zero degrees at night because it is not frozen. It is within the late autumn of Chenzhou. He made some big fuss here according to the winter clothes he prepared in Chenzhou in winter. As for Egypt in the Roman Empire, the temperature will be even higher, and basically no winter clothes can be used.

Otherwise, Egypt, as the first stop for mankind to leave Africa, has its own uniqueness. However, Egypt's potential is too limited in terms of a big country. It will eventually be caught up and become a part of the Mediterranean civilization and will become a part of the West Asian civilization in the future.

"We take away some oil, and the Persians cannot use it. If it is made into oil bombs, there may be siege battles." Sima Ji ordered calmly. He did not have any greed for the blood of later industries. This was the agricultural era, and this thing was not very useful, except for ignition to fight wars.

Later generations of the Middle East was the region with the largest oil reserves and the largest oil production and exports in the world. The Middle East oil was mainly distributed in the Persian Gulf and coastal areas. Because it consumes very little oil, it is the region with the largest oil exports in the world, which has a significant impact on the development of the world's economic development. The problem of water shortage in Middle Eastern countries is much greater than that of oil shortage, especially those countries that seem to be rich, such as beaches, Qatar.

In later republics, there was naturally a large oil gap, but there was nothing short of countries with such a large population? Sima Ji thought about it casually and found that there was nothing short of something, even women were short of it.

If he lacks anything, he will rob anything. Then don't live this life, there is nothing to be needed. He led 30 million Jin people to rob and live everywhere. The problem is that the population of the Jin Dynasty cannot be improved by robbing. The country still has to follow the right path to maintain it. Sima Ji doesn't even want this Western Expedition to be imitated by later generations, unless the East has been filled with population, please feel free to do so.

Nanyang can be used as an extension of agricultural civilization. Sima Jicai formulated a policy of advancing south. If the environment of Nanyang is more unsuitable for farming than the northern grasslands, wouldn’t the King of Yan change to a policy of advancing north?

The only place where the foundation in the Middle East is quite good is that in later Iran. Although the Persians lost the dominance of West Asian civilization, the remaining land was incomparable to ancient times, but it was not a land with nothing but oil. It was the only land that could be self-sufficient in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia really had only oil and sand.

If Iran had not lost to the Ottoman Empire while competing for two river basins and retained the Mesopotamia, the natural hegemony of the Middle East would have been Iran, but he lost, and I don’t know how long it would take to wait for the days of Persia’s revival.

Oil is really a good thing. At this time, Sima Ji was just used to ignite the fire, which was a bit useless.

"I have only one person, I want to follow you, I won't stay here." Astaya shouted unyieldingly, his eyes full of determination, "I want to see you defeat the Romans."
