Chapter seven hundred and twentieth peace talks with Rome

"What's strange about it? It's just the beginning? Isn't it the same for a while to scold you early or late? As long as our army leaves, the tribes that are affected by our travels west will curse us. As for the forces we have helped, it is naturally the people themselves. Our help is just a trivial factor. It's normal, it's too normal."

Looking at the indignant student, Sima Ji was very open-minded. Is there a secret to my great Jin Dynasty that is unique to me? This is definitely impossible. People like him who have more foreign history than their own history can easily find many examples.

As for whether this trip west will be in the future, becoming a positive example or a negative impact, it ultimately depends on whether China will be strong in the future. Sima Ji did not think there was any essential difference between Alexander and Temujin. Although Temujin only left a pile of horse manure along the way, Macedonia seems to be among Greek city-states and is not famous for its culture.

The civilization of ancient Persia is not inferior to that of ancient Greece, and it is not as good as a remote mountainous area in Greece? However, the reason why this remote mountainous area in Greece appeared in history was that ancient Greece influenced the West. The overall power of the West in modern society does surpass other civilizations.

As the enemy of ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, the Western Asian civilization, which had been shrouded in the hearts of Europeans for a long time, became the dead in modern society. Even the Persians and Arabs were the feud of the Westerners, so the ancient Persian Empire naturally became the first sign of the victory over the East. The villain of the ancient Persian Empire must bear it. This is a matter of right to speak.

The reason why I think so is that Sima Ji didn't see why the Spartan military society became a positive role when ancient Persia attacked ancient Greece. How could the Macedonia attacked Persia in ancient Greece, and Macedonia became a spreading civilization and promoting exchanges between the East and the West? Persians were still a negative role.

It seems that whether it is attack or defense, it is the Greeks' front and the Persians' back? It's so shameless.

If Western Asian civilization happened to be in reverse with Europe in later generations, were the two conflicts both positive images of Persians and had no choice but to teach the barbarians a lesson? The Greeks were all despicable and shameless, and they were all self-destructive?

However, although it is shameless, this is normal propaganda. As long as the Jin army leaves, it will basically be a murderous and robbed invading army in the eyes of the tribes along the way. Can it be whitewashed? Is it true that China is strong in the industrial era?

"There are naturally reasons to fool the people, but we should know what we have done. You are the pillars of the Jin Dynasty. First of all, you must understand one thing. Sometimes it is good for the court, but it is not good for the people. Many times the court and the people have different ideas. If we want to expand our territory and achieve glory, we must pay and work hard to sacrifice bloodshed. But you probably don't want to be from the perspective of the people, right?"

"Can we understand the ideas of Egyptian Christians now? They are fooling their electors and talking nonsense is very normal. They are all due to interests and are not worth making a fuss. Then we pat our butts and leave, and we will be out of sight. If there is anything worth making a fuss, continue to observe, and maybe there will be unexpected gains."

What are you afraid of when belittled the Jin army? Sima Ji has killed so many people, but he still cares about being scolded. The one who scolds him the most is the Jin people. The King of Yan has been used to it for many years, and it feels uncomfortable not to be scolded.

"Have you heard that when Peter was in Syria, he betrayed the interests of our church members and reported them to the Romans. You don't know that the man who was captured and killed by Roman soldiers was the pillar of the whole family, leaving a widow and a few children. He lived a miserable life. Now he is so embarrassed to come out and talk about his loyalty to God? He said that he was ready to die in the resistance of the Roman Legion. He was just a bastard!"

"Really or false?" asked a group of Christians in shock, "Peter appeared on the city wall some time ago, and it turned out to be such a person?"

"Judah was also a respected man before he betrayed Jesus, but he still collected gold coins from the Romans."

"I also heard that John had an affair with his brother's wife, and I don't know if it was true. Seeing that he always calls God, he didn't expect that he was such a disgusting person in private."

"It's really morally corrupt, and God will definitely despise his actions." Others nodded and expressed their disdain for another candidate.

A group of Egyptian Christians left slowly by themselves, and did not attract everyone's attention.

"Explanation means to cover up the truth, not explaining means to acquiesce. As long as the water is muddy, no one will pay attention to what the truth is. People will only accept the facts they believe." Sima Ji was still holding the new public opinion every day to popularize the key points for his students. "There are not many simple fools in the world, but they think they are very smart fools, and that is everywhere. You and I cannot guarantee that they will not be deceived, so our whole life is learning."

In Alexandria, the warm-up work of electing the pope continues, and more and more Christians are involved in it, with the illusion that they are very important. Sima Ji felt that his achievements are not much different from God, so that Egyptian Christians could experience in the future generations that the American people could take one turn once in four years and become the most important voter in the eyes of politicians.

However, it is not certain how long is this election left next time, because the pope will sit until death, and the election itself is the king of Yan making a fuss. Now there are only a few cities in Egypt, and it is still possible to elect like this. If the area is larger and there are more people, this election will inevitably not last.

This is based on the premise that Christians successfully establish the Kingdom of Christ. If the Romans settled the accounts after the fall, they would probably have chosen the Pope this time, which is unprecedented. Please cherish this opportunity.

"John had made a sinister remark that Peter, the Pope candidate who was loved by the congregation, had betrayed our partners, and this crime was simply a blasphemy to God. Now this remark has been proven by many congregations living in Syria, Peter's neighbors, and local believers by oaths. John gained an advantage in the election, and did not hesitate to speak evilly and slander our respected Peter. This method is extremely shameless and even more powerful.

Christians are shamed. For Peter, this shameful slander will undoubtedly cause great harm to him. In thinking of this, we can't help but want to call on all the humiliated and upright Christians to stand up immediately and seek justice from the culprit of this slander, even if they act beyond the boundaries of the Bible. However, this is not what we really want to do! Rather than this, it is better to ask the culprit to reflect on their own faults and endure the great torture of conscience for it."

"Of course, if this matter arouses public outrage and the initiator is attacked by everyone, even if his body is damaged, those who hurt him will not be punished by law, because God cannot convict them at all."

"At this point, John must provide a reasonable explanation for all of us Christians, why spread rumors about Peter, how can such a person take on the mission of growing the Christian community? Become the Pope who leads us?"

The Christians gathered in the open land burst out with huge sounds, as if they were sympathetic to Peter's experience. Christians in the entire city of Alexandria, whether rich or poor, entered this election feast.

As for Sima Ji, the biggest outsider, it doesn't matter what he does, and it won't affect my Grand Jin. He also has his own affairs and is busy negotiating with the Romans who are ashore. What a great opportunity. No matter what class of Christians are, they are busy having a carnival. Some of them may want to care about the attitude of the Romans, but most people will not pay attention to this small group of aliens who delay the future of Christians.

The Romans who came to negotiate had a low status. They were the Syrian governor of Rome, named Gudes. Sima Ji expressed his sincerity and let him meet Constantius and Galerius, two clear heirs of Augustus.

"Christians are busy now, and it is a good time for us to negotiate." After the greetings, Sima Ji put forward his own conditions. "I know that you have a tradition of paying for redemption of people, but for the sake of the Roman Empire, this matter can be solved in another way. I brought 30,000 satin silk and wanted to do business with you, but I didn't expect a misunderstanding. I can now release all the Roman soldiers unconditionally, including two Caesars. The condition is that the Romans want to buy the silk that I carry, and you will not suffer any loss. Anyway, your silk has a huge demand."

Sima Ji acted as if he was self-sacrificing and directly helped the other party think about all the reasons. "I will start to return to China soon. When I leave, will the result of this war be casually said? In the eyes of the Romans, I can be said to have suffered heavy losses and left in a dusty manner. In the end, as long as you can recover Egypt, I believe the Romans will accept this explanation."

"I don't know what the price is?" Goodes, who represented Diocle, asked, and asked. People could provide such an explanation, and he had nothing to say. Because Rome would definitely do this. And it seems that the other party is indeed intending to preserve the face of the Roman Empire, and this condition is actually very good.

"I heard that the Persians gave you the price equivalent to gold. I would not be so dark." Sima Ji looked at Gudes, reached out and gestured and said, "Along with all Roman prisoners, I will give you 60% off. Remember, I have no habit of bargaining, this is your Romans. If you were other small troops, I would have advanced to make a big army to let them know their superiority."
