Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

Ying Zigao smiled, and said, "You don't know about this. The emperor has ordered you to go to Bamin immediately to supervise the shipbuilding!"

"shipbuilding?"

Suzaku asked with a puzzled look: "Why do you want to build a ship again? Not long ago, didn't the emperor give an order to revitalize the navy?"

"This time is different."

Ying Zigao explained: "This time, the emperor will build an ocean-going fleet to go to the high seas, sail south first, and then head west all the way to the Western Ocean."

"Oh?"

Suzaku looked puzzled, and said, "What is there in the West? As far as the little girl knows, the Western Regions are barren and wild lands, except for the Xiongnu, it is the Xiongnu."

"Besides the Huns, there are many other civilizations that you have never heard of."

Anyway, this journey was quite boring, and it was good to chat with this little girl.

Therefore, Ying Zigao patiently explained: "The Western Regions are so vast that they pass through the four seas and countless countries."

"There's the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean."

"Oh? Could it be that the Western Regions don't divide into four seas?"

Suzaku asked.

"The four seas refer to the southeast and northwest, and the east and west continents are connected! Moreover, this world is not a square."

Hearing this, Suzaku was still a little puzzled.

Then he asked: "My lord, is the minister of the Ministry of Industry? He is in charge of engineering construction. How can he know so much about geography?"

"You said that you know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom, why don't you know this?" Ying Zi gave Suzaku a high-pitched look, then shrugged, and continued, "Although I am young, I am also well-versed in poetry. Shu, when he was young, he also traveled around the world with his father, and the more he saw, the more knowledge he would naturally master."

"Then, my lord! Do you know what is available in the West?"

"Hehehe..."

Ying Zigao opened his mouth and said: "Gold is the land, ivory is the door, fragrant wood is the pillars, and the soil is full of gold and silver treasures! Victory over millions of soldiers! Tens of thousands of miles across! All countries look up to Zhou Jing, with the momentum of great unity, the capital is especially Absolutely handsome!"

Hearing this, Suzaku stared at Ying Zi Gao with a surprised face and said, "Master Gao! Xiyang...is there really such a country?!"

"That's natural. In this country, there is no emperor and no emperor. With the power of a republic, the ruling and opposition parties are governed. It is called 'Rome'."

Ying Zigao calculated, in this day and age, Caesar has not yet been born, and Rome is still a republic.

"No emperor?"

The more Suzaku listened, the more excited she became. She blushed, stared at Ying Zi Gao and said, "Master Gao! This time, the emperor ordered the construction of a fleet to attack this kind of country?!"

"of course not!"

Ying Zi rolled his eyes at Suzaku and said, "We are also a country of etiquette and civilization. What we should do is to establish diplomatic relations and attack rashly. How is it different from the barbarians of the Huns?"

Hearing this, Suzaku also nodded slowly: "That's right, that's right, besides, according to Mr. Gao's description, this Roman country is very powerful. They are comparable, but due to the long distance, if you travel long distances, your soldiers will not be able to fight at all."

"Hehe, it's good that you understand."

Ying Zi gave Suzaku a high-pitched look.

The two continued, all the way east.

In the evening, the two had arrived in a small town along the coast.

The city was very deserted, which made Suzaku a little puzzled.

Ying Zigao guessed it. It is estimated that the young and middle-aged people in this city were all recruited to Ludao by the Ministry of Industry to build a fleet.

It is only one sea away from Ludao. If you take a boat, it is estimated that it will take a few hours to arrive.

"Okay, let's rest here tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will go to Ludao."

Hearing this, Suzaku nodded.

The two came to an inn and opened two rooms.

Ying Zigao was sitting in front of the table, holding a pen, drawing something on the blueprint.

Although this inn is the best inn in the city, because it is very close to the sea, it has been wet year after year, and the wooden building has many signs of decay.

There is even a huge crack in the wall beside it.

Suzaku was just behind the crack, looking at Ying Zigao.

"Hey! Master Gao!"

Ying Zigao turned his head and found no one behind him.

Thought I was hallucinating.

"Master Gao!"

Ying Zigao turned his head again, looked around, and found that there was still no one there, but felt that it was definitely not an auditory hallucination this time.

So, he went to the door and opened the door.

No one was found outside.

"Haunted?"

Ying Zigao was a little confused.

Boom boom boom!
At this time, there was a knocking sound on the wall beside him.

Ying Zigao turned his head to look, and found that there was such a big hole in the wall beside him!

Suzaku stood by the hole, looked at Yingzi Gao and said, "Master Gao! Are you still studying that weapon?"

Ying Zigao shook his head helplessly, returned to the table, and ignored it.

Seeing this, Suzaku simply stretched out his hand and broke off the wooden board on the hole!
Click!
Then, Suzaku stretched his legs and walked into Ying Zigao's room.

"You? You?"

Ying Zigao was a little confused. He pointed at Suzaku and said, "You girl, what's the matter? Don't you know whether men and women will kiss each other in the middle of the night? If you're like this, how will you get married in the future? Also, what's the matter with the hole?" ? Hurry up and make it up for others!"

Suzaku chuckled, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao! The little girl not only knows astronomy and geography, but also is proficient in all kinds of craftsman's skills! It's just a wall, and you can do it with your hands!"

After speaking, Suzaku strode up to Ying Zigao and said, "My lord! I can't sleep either! Come on! Let's study together!"

"Who says I can't sleep?"

Suzaku ignored Ying Zigao, but strode to Ying Zigao's desk, looked at the blueprint, tilted his head, and said, "My lord, you... this is not a ship, is it?" ?”

"Boat? You can see that?"

Ying Zigao just drew a sketch now.

But Suzaku saw it at a glance.

"Sail battleship? Interesting!"

Suzaku took Ying Zigao's blueprint and thought carefully.

After a long time, Suzaku suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "Master Gao! Look! The design of your sailing battleship is really exquisite! The holes on both sides can completely deploy ballistas! Even if you don't log into the enemy ship, you can easily win!"

"But... the holes on both sides are a bit too big? The arrows on the ballista are at most as thick as a little girl's wrist, so there is no need for such a big hole!"

Hearing this, Ying Zigao smiled helplessly.

I thought to myself, I am planning to make guns, can't I also build guns?

But Suzaku hadn't thought of this question yet.

However, Suzaku's unintentional question gave Zhu Tong an idea.

With the current iron smelting technology of the Great Qin Kingdom, I am afraid that it cannot withstand the pressure brought by the artillery.

I just have an idea for the time being.
