Chapter 358: The Messenger Goes Away, Modern Ships Appear
Zhao Feng looked at it for a while and couldn't help but admire: "Wonderful! Beautiful! Thank you!"
So some people brought in various gold and jade articles and gave them to the dancing girls.
After they retreated, Roman officials already knew Zhao Feng's choice.
One of them said with shame: "We have still maintained some of the physical appearance of our ancestors, but we cannot compare with the East. Your Majesty, we have made a fool of ourselves! But please, Your Majesty, please understand our sincerity!"
Zhao Feng was relieved: "Don't say anything sincere. It's no good. Tell me, why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, we really want to make friends with your country! Of course, there are indeed some unspeakable things. For example, we want to borrow some gold from your country."
Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh. Both he and the ministers below had already guessed that the Romans were going to be in economic trouble. After all, the total trade volume had obviously declined in the past few months!
But they didn't expect that these Romans would actually come up with the idea of offering their beauty to borrow money.
Zhao Feng immediately laughed: "If you borrow money from me, those women are the benefits you think of?"
The Roman officials immediately showed a look of shame: "Your Majesty Wei, we are indeed prepared to be hasty, but our Emperor Severus will definitely be willing to give you conditions that satisfy you. What do you want before you can lend us money?
"
Zhao Feng didn't even think about it and just laughed: "Honestly, I can get everything in Rome myself. However, if you really want to use this to borrow money, then give me the special things from your place.
Bring it here. As long as I don't have it, you can bring it. If I need it, I can give you money, which is much more than what you can borrow directly."
The Roman officials did not expect that Zhao Feng's request was so simple, and they immediately beamed with joy.
But they immediately asked: "Then, Your Majesty, can you lend us money first?"
"Of course not. Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhao Feng immediately laughed, "After you take the money, sooner or later you will come to harass me, Da Wei. If you don't give me enough benefits first, how can I help you?"
These Roman officials immediately looked disappointed.
At this time, Ju Shou, Xun Yu and others in front had already sent back a report, reporting that the Romans had once again raised troops to invade.
Zhao Feng looked at it and then laughed: "You actually used beauties to confuse my officials and ask them to borrow money, but now your army is on the road and wants to attack our Wei Dynasty again! It seems that everyone,
Are you here to defraud me of money? Do you want to make some money in advance?"
Before those Roman officials left, they had no idea that Severus would do this, and they all became furious and cursed Severus.
However, they also knew that there was no chance of borrowing money this time, so they had no choice but to take hundreds of their beauties and leave Wei in despair.
After the Roman envoy left, several ministers below came in immediately.
Zhou Yu immediately said: "Your Majesty, do you want me to support Zhuge Liang? Now he only has 100,000 soldiers. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the Romans!"
Guo Jia also said: "Your Majesty, last time the Romans made a little move, more than a million people came. If they get serious this time, there will be millions of troops!"
Zhao Feng laughed and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. The letter from Jushu and Xun Yu not only mentioned the Romans raising an army, but also said that there were many internal conflicts in Rome and the political situation was turbulent. This time, Severus' army launched a massive attack.
We are dispatched, but the internal forces are empty, and I am afraid something will happen!"
Jia Xu immediately showed a smile: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we should send troops. When our army arrives, we will wait for them to kill them all, and we can easily capture Rome!"
Ma Chao suddenly became full of fighting spirit and couldn't help but stand up: "Your Majesty, in the past few battles between all parties, I was the only one who retreated early. This time, I am willing to lead the troops to fight and destroy the Romans for your Majesty!"
Zhao Feng waved his hand and suppressed everyone's voices: "I have thought about what you guys said. Since everyone intends to send troops, I can still stop you. However, the battle is about heart-warming! This time, if the Romans insist on coming,
If they want to fight, let’s fight! If they really fight among themselves and the army retreats, then we will focus on deterrence and think of other ways to force them to surrender!”
Zhou Yu laughed: "So, no matter what, our army will be ready to go out, right?"
Zhao Feng nodded: "Let's get ready. How is our cavalry doing now? If the training is successful, we can attack from the grassland and go to Parthia to wait first."
Gongsun Zan immediately stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, we captured 150,000 Parthian war horses earlier, and later spent a lot of money to buy horses, including 200,000 fine Parthian horses! Now our Wei Dynasty has 300,000 elite cavalry, all of them are
The speed of all Parthian war horses has been significantly improved compared to before! Now, all training has been completed!"
Zhao Feng nodded: "Then, let me ask General Gongsun to go first. Ma Chao, you have wanted to fight for a long time. This time you go with Gongsun Zan!"
Ma Chao was overjoyed: "Ma Chao accepts the order!"
Zhao Feng added: "The infantry will not be sent this time. Gongsun Zan and Ma Chao's cavalry will mainly go to assist Zhuge Liang! However, can the navy also be sent to Rome?"
Zhou Yu looked troubled: "Your Majesty, we have not built a ship as big as the Romans. The expedition will suffer. It is better for the navy to stay offshore for defense."
Zhao Feng said thoughtfully: "I know, I forgot about this incident."
The full version of "Tiangong Kaiwu" contains ship construction drawings!
Large building ships, giant cargo ships, lightweight Mengtong battleships, all kinds of ships of all sizes are available, but I was focused on other things before, and unexpectedly, I forgot to build a powerful navy!
So, Zhao Feng immediately gave the warship blueprint to Zhou Yu: "In this case, you don't want to go to war this time."
"Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Gan Ning, all three of you are going to Yangzhou. If you don't build me a powerful warship, then don't come back!"
The three of them, Sun Ce, gathered around and looked at the drawings. They were so excited that they almost jumped up: "Your Majesty, this is incredible. There are such exquisite drawings. Don't worry, with these drawings, we will definitely be able to do it."
Create an invincible fleet!"
Gan Ning looked at the drawings greedily and couldn't help but admire: "This big ship can probably accommodate three thousand people. Is this a crossbow on top? Wow, these windows are all for archery."
What a great place! Is this reinforced bow used for impact?"
Sun Ce pointed at the cargo ship and said: "This cargo ship can transport eight thousand to ten thousand troops! This is simply a legendary thing! If it can be built, our transportation capacity will be greatly improved in the future! From now on
, our navy can also shine and can sail ultra-long distances!"
Zhou Yu pointed to the separately listed power system, looked at it for a while, and looked shocked!
"Power is the core of a big ship. In the past, it was all about rowing, but your majesty's big ship has a completely different power source! It boils water and propels it with steam! Such a fantastic idea is so unimaginable that it is unimaginable! Your Majesty,
Is this possible? How can just water vapor have such power?"
