Xu Ding nodded and asked with concern: "How about the casualties of our army?"

"Mr. Huifu, our army injured 12 people and killed two people!" The officer who lost the count replied.

"Give care to the casualties, let them sum up their experience, and at the same time erect a monument to write down their names, so that those who come after them will know that they have sacrificed their lives for this, for future generations to remember." After hearing the officer's answer, Xu Ding went on to download an order.

Returning to the official position, he was taken aback for a moment, and immediately replied with excitement in his eyes: "It's the prince!"

"My lord! The group of foreign races we captured can't understand what they are saying, how can we drive them away!" Zhang Fei asked bluntly.

In his mind, it would be better to kill these people directly, which would save trouble and convenience.

The other people also mean the same thing. According to the thinking logic of the big man, people who are not of our race must have different hearts. It is better to kill them than to keep them.

Xu Ding said: "It's okay, I still have great use for them, let's go and have a look together, I think I should be able to understand what they said."

"Ugh! My lord understands barbarian language!" Zhang Fei and the others were shocked again. Xu Ding actually knew these things, what on earth did he not know.

Sure enough, Xu Ding came to the place where the captives were staying, and said a simple sentence, the captives who had been quiet immediately got up one after another, talking in a hurry.

Guan Yu swept over with his broadsword tightly, and asked, "My lord, what did they say?"

Xu Ding said: "They said why they attacked them and asked us to let them go, otherwise the Roman Empire's army would come and we would die in an ugly way."

"Hmph! A bunch of ignorant barbarians, what's the point of Rome." Guan Yu snorted coldly, not paying attention to the so-called Roman Empire at all, intending to chop off the captives with a knife if there was any disagreement.

Xu Ding said with a smile: "It's not like that. Speaking of which, the Roman Empire is a distant country in the west that is not weaker than my big man. When the Western Regions were doing business, my big man also had transactions with the country. Its country is in the west just like we are in the west. Like the East, there are also many vassal states, but they seem to be weakening now."

"Western countries?" Everyone had a half-knowledge.

However, I heard that it is west of the Western Regions, and it will feel quite far away. After all, the Western Regions are a barren land in the eyes of the big Han.

Xu Ding didn't explain too much to them, and then continued to communicate with these captives to obtain the situation of Rome, and at the same time told these Romans that they were too far away from Rome, their island drifted to the Han Empire, and now this island was officially taken over by the Han Empire. take over.

"How is this possible! How is it possible for our island to float to the east, this is impossible..."

Almost none of the Romans believed Xu Ding's words, after all, this was too far-fetched.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is a fact and it cannot be changed. In addition, I am just telling you. After all, in my eyes, you are all invaders and alien races that can be eliminated. Now you only have two There are two choices, one is surrender, and the other is death!" Xu Ding didn't bother to explain too much to them, because it couldn't be explained by himself.

If it were him, he wouldn't believe that an island in the Mediterranean suddenly crossed the border to the east of Dahan. This is a bit more exaggerated than the legendary moving mountains and seas.

Surrender or die!

Do not!

We are proud Romans, how could we surrender to yellow-skinned Han Chinese.

The promised words immediately aroused the emotions of more than 2000 Roman men, women and children.

"So, you all want to choose death." Xu Ding sneered, pointing to Dian Wei, the right captain of the Fuwei, and said:

"My big man has always been a state of etiquette. I pay attention to the virtue of good life in heaven. I will give you a chance. Whoever doesn't want to surrender can go to my captain of the guard to fight one-on-one. If you fail, I'm sorry, you can only die."

Of course, there were people who really wanted to try, ten people stood up quickly and promised to get them weapons.

As a result, Dian Wei went over and proudly pointed at the ten people and said:

"Let's go together, save trouble!"

Xu Ding gave the translation to the ten Roman soldiers, and the ten were immediately angry, looked at each other, and rushed over with their weapons.

Dian Wei swung his iron halberd to attack with one hand and block with the other. With a few simple moves, he quickly killed five of them, and the remaining five were a little scared for a while. He didn't expect the captain of the general's guard to be so powerful.

Dian Wei didn't think so much. Seeing them hesitate, he took the initiative to swing the twin iron halberds to kill them. The five had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight, but they couldn't last a few rounds and were all hacked to death.

This time the other Romans were all quiet.

Worshiping the strong is a common feature of human beings, and the Romans were no exception. On the contrary, they were more enthusiastic about it.

Seeing Dian Wei being so brave, he knew there was no chance.

This kind of brave man, not to mention the island of Cyprus, is rare even in the entire Roman Empire.

"Honorable Governor, we are willing to submit to you and fight for you." Seeing the strength of the generals, the Romans finally chose to submit.

To them, submitting to the strong is not a shame, but an honor.

You must know that Xu Ding is an official of the Han Dynasty, and his official position is not low. This kind of person must also be a distinguished nobleman.

In Rome, only the great nobles are qualified for such an important official position as shepherd. Following such a person, the future is bright.

"Very well, you have made the right decision, and you will be proud of your decision today." Although there were only more than 2000 Romans in this group, and there were both men and women, and there were not many people with real combat effectiveness, Xu Ding still very happy.

Temporarily subduing this group of Romans, Xu Ding then left Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to build cities on the island, reclaim wasteland, and at the same time build bridges and pave roads to explore the entire island.

On the way back, Lu Qian said: "My lord, now that such a big new island should be reported to the imperial court, where does the lord plan to transfer the population?"

Xu Ding said: "For the time being, don't report to the imperial court, seal off the sea area, and don't let idle people outside our army wait on Dengdao.

As for emigration, next year, I think Taiping Road will become more and more excessive in other states and counties. I am afraid that if war is about to break out, refugees will flood into Qingzhou at that time, and it should be enough to resettle them. "

Lu Qian nodded, Xu Ding's arrangement was very appropriate. If the news about this island is reported to the public, no one will believe it, and it will easily attract coveters and cause trouble for himself.

"That's right! Your Captain Hengshui should move to the island, and build water villages and docks for the east and west. The salt industry, papermaking, and wine making may also be moved to the island." Xu Ding suddenly instructed.

After all, Cyprus is his own private island, and he can move it at any time.

The prefect of Donglai was appointed by the imperial court. Today he can buy an official and take it down, and tomorrow someone else can change his position as prefect.

After all, this island has a more secure sense of belonging.

Moreover, the island is more closed, and the salt industry and papermaking industry are not afraid of revealing any secrets. In the future, steelmaking, copper refining, and wine making can also be concentrated on the island.

It can be said that the island of Cyprus in the future is too important, and there is no navy to look at it.

"It's my lord, Qian understands." Lu Qian replied.

Back in Donglai, it’s the day of offering sacrifices to the kitchen stove, and every family in Donglai is offering sacrifices to send off the kitchen god and Tai Sui God, so this day is commonly known as sending off the gods.

Of course, because this day is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, it is still a small year.

The annual leave stipulated by the Han Dynasty begins, so people who are officials, businessmen, or study and travel around the world must go home for reunion and eat homemade candies.

In order to pray for the kitchen god, the whole family will be safe in the coming year.
