At 7:30, this chapter has some narratives about history, but not much story. If you don’t like it, please take a detour!

Damascus has the following praise in ancient Arabic books: "If there is heaven on earth, Damascus will be in it, and if heaven is in the sky, Damascus will be as famous as it."

From 10,000 BC to around 8,000 BC, people began to live here. Then, the city was established by the Alami people who belonged to the Semitic tribe. However, Damascus was not a famous city at that time.

Afterwards, Damascus experienced constant wars. In 538 BC, the Persian army of Cyrus the Great captured Damascus and used it as the capital of the Syrian province of the Persian Empire. Then Alexander the Great swept half of Asia to put it on the cloak of Greece.

In 64 BC, Roman commander Pompei set western Syria as a Roman province. With the arrival of the Roman peace era, Damascus and Syrian provinces began to flourish because it connected the ancient Silk Road in China.

In 636 AD, Damascus was conquered by Omar I, the second Islamic caliph. Soon after that, Damascus became the capital of the Umayyad dynasty, the Arab Empire, which extended from Spain to the border of India, and the city's power and fame reached its peak.

But it was such a beautiful city that began to fight continuously. The Crusaders came and were beaten away again. Before the Allahs could enjoy the eyes, the *** people took away all the craftsmen here. This chaos continued until after the Ottoman Empire occupied it, nearly 400 years of peace came.

When it comes to Damascus, we must mention the Damascus sword. Like the beauty of his city, such forging technology was even the source of the Damascus disaster. When Napoleon arrived here, the Damascus sword became a famous collection. Because the Mamluk cavalry equipped with this weapon was no longer European, and had completed the innovative opponents of the European army with the prototype of the modern army.

Damascus knife is called by Europeans. It refers to Damascus flat pattern blade. The surface of this knife will have a special pattern - the Mohammed pattern. It belongs to the cast pattern in the pattern. It is completely different from the welded pattern formed by folding and forging of Chinese swords, or the best quenched pattern.

Real Damascus steel, also known as crystalline pattern steel, is a perfect combination of ancient powder metallurgy and forging technology. The blades of many Damascus steel are black, and the shiny charcoal iron is distributed on the black blade. The ancient Persians described it as as beautiful as the stars in the night sky.

When Zhao Fubo stepped into Damascus City, he looked at the huge and absolutely honorable welcome ceremony prepared by the sultan here, Azam Tulansha. How could he not feel deeply moved by the fact that he knew part of the history?

He thought in his heart about the experiences of Alexandria, Jerusalem, Baghdad, Bianliang, and Lin'an. The experiences of these historical cities were filled with bloody massacres and robberies. He recalled what Teacher Martin said when he told him about these history.

"History can be used to relieve ignorance! When the new European army swept across the entire Arab Empire; when the *** army trampled on the exquisite life created by our Song people; when the Qing Dynasty only used a few armies, it conquered the Ming Dynasty, which had a population of nearly 200 million.

All civilizations and all justice have become irrelevant things. Some are just slaughtering and robbery because of their plunder. Whether you like to hear or to see it or not, this is an irrefutable historical fact.

And these only prove one thing! What is it, I don’t want to influence you, you can slowly realize it yourself!"

Whenever Zhao Fubo thinks of what Teacher Martin said, he must hate him. Isn’t it good to give him the answer? He has to understand it himself!

Zhao Fubo looked at the minister who led him and saluted him respectfully. Looking back on all the ancient cities he had just associated with, he really had some realization. But he didn't know, it was not right to realize it.

At this moment, his horse was still hung on the Victory hook. The sword was still hung on one side of the horse's neck, and the other side was his rifle. His eyes had just fallen on these things. He looked at the Syrian monarchs and ministers who expressed their surrender to him, and he really realized it.

"What a bullshit, Jiading three massacres, Yangzhou ten days, Nanjing Massacre. This time I am going to return to the Song Dynasty, so I will let you taste what it means to offend the power of the great Han Dynasty. Even if you are far away, you will be punished! Kill you all in advance and see how you can do these things!"

This strong nationalism cannot be said to be right, and of course it cannot be said to be all wrong easily! Although Zhao Fubo has read a lot now, his path is obviously shorter. I believe that with Martin's teaching, he will eventually become mature.

The welcome ceremony ended in the palace prepared by Azam Tulansha for Zhao Fubo. Zhao Fubo was not interested in things like hospitality and revealing the wind. He only cared about one thing, and this matter played an important role in promoting military and scientific research on Socotra Island.

"Emperor, I have collected all the craftsmen here. The best craftsmen, utensils and all the records about making knives have been packaged. I'm waiting for you to come and present them to you! But although I have asked people to collect all the books in the city, I'm afraid you have to send someone to choose whatever you want!"

Azam Tulansha Sultan knew what Zhao Fubo likes, scholars, craftsmen and books, but he was a little unfamiliar with what books Zhao Fubo liked. This was good news for Zhao Fubo, after all, Teacher Martin liked these things. Maybe a gift would he give him some equipment!

"Junior sister, please stay here with Alisa and take people to pick all the books in this city. I guess you know what books the teacher wants! As for Baghdad, there will be opportunities to go in the future."

Shi Xuerong was fine for this order. But Alisha didn't like to do this, so it was naturally much more interesting to go to Baghdad. Zhao Fubo looked at her somewhat unhesitant expression and explained again.

"We will have to go to Europe soon. You know, I won't be able to stay in Baghdad for long, and when I come back from Europe in the future, there will be no problem for how long you are willing to go there!"

Alisa knew that in addition to the problem of Geriel, her own problems were also something that had to be solved.
