Xuanzong was a little unhappy when he saw that Hemar had said threatening words, but he still looked at Zhao Ziliang, who was standing at the back of the general's side, and asked: "General Zhao, you should know about this, right?"
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang walked to Hemar's side and saluted Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, Jia Luolin was arrested by Wei Chen, and Wei Chen was about to report this to Your Majesty."
"Oh why did you send someone to arrest Galolin?"
Not only Xuanzong was curious, but other ministers also looked at Zhao Ziliang with their ears wide open.
Except for Yao Jingming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he had known about this for a long time.
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, both the officials and the people of the Tang Dynasty call the country represented by His Excellency Hemal Fufu.
In fact, its real name when translated is Eastern Rome, also called Byzantium.
The emperor is Leo III, but according to the According to the latest news obtained by Weichen, Emperor Leo III passed away two months ago, and the current emperor is led by Leo III's son Constantine V succeeded to the throne.
Their rulers always claimed that they were descendants of the ancient Roman Empire, so they were called Eastern Rome.
The capital of Eastern Rome was called Constantinople, spanning the Eurasian continent.
It is an extremely important military fortress.
In the past, the Eastern Roman Empire inherited all the land of the Western Roman Empire, and its territory was extremely vast.
However, due to their The rulers often changed, causing instability in the government.
In addition, the rulers exploited the people more and more, which caused rebellions in many places.
The territory was once greatly reduced.
Now, to the east of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Great Food Kingdom Rising day by day, they annexed and cannibalized the land and people of the former Persian Empire.
The Persian Empire is also what we call Da Qin.
After the rise of the Food Kingdom, it began to expand westward.
The eastern border of the Eastern Roman Empire was often invaded by the Food Kingdom.
Their emperor was ignorant, their officials only knew how to exploit the people, and there were few good generals.
They were unable to resist the invasion of the Food Country.
The land fell, and more slaves could only be recruited to join the army to support it.
This is the current situation of the Eastern Roman Empire today."
"So that's it, okay, now I and all the ministers know about the situation in the Eastern Roman Empire, but what does this have to do with you sending people to arrest Caroline?"
Emperor Xuanzong asked in confusion.
"Of course it is related," Zhao Ziliang continued, "The Eastern Roman Empire, and even some small countries further west, their military strengths are heavy armored infantry and heavy armored cavalry.
The defensive power of heavy armored infantry is extremely amazing and has great lethality. , the soldiers lined up in a neat square formation and advanced like a wall.
No one could resist.
The heavy armored cavalry not only has strong defensive power, but also has a strong collision force.
The ordinary military formation cannot stop the impact of their heavy armored cavalry.
However, these two units with strong defensive power and lethality are in the great food country.
They were vulnerable to a large number of light cavalry and camel soldiers, so Because they lack weapons for long-range strikes, the light cavalry and camel soldiers of the Great Food Kingdom are equipped with light armor, sabers, cavalry crossbows, and a large number of arrows.
When attacking, the light cavalry of the Great Food Country usually perform mounted shooting at long distances, using The light cavalry maneuvered at high speed to outflank, but although the troops of the Eastern Roman Empire There are bows and arrows, but the range of the bows and arrows is far inferior to the cavalry crossbows of the Kingdom of Food.
Therefore, when the two countries fought, basically only the light cavalry of the Kingdom of Food attacked the Eastern Roman army.
They shot a bunch of arrows and ran away.
Because the Roman army's armor was too heavy, it was impossible to catch up with them and could only be beaten passively.
Also, in terms of weapons, the weapons of the Eastern Roman Empire’s army were not as sharp and tough as those of the Kingdom of Food.
The Damascus scimitar made by the Kingdom of Food was as sharp as clay, but the swords of the Eastern Roman Empire were inferior.
Much more.
Therefore, the rulers of the Eastern Roman Empire believed that if they wanted to fight against the Great Food Kingdom, they must acquire higher forging skills and crossbow manufacturing technology.
They learned about the sharpness of the weapons of the Tang Dynasty from the merchants traveling between the East and the West.
No less than a Damascus scimitar, the range of the crossbow is even longer than that of the food country's crossbow. to become stronger, so they sent Hemar and Gallolin with envoys to the Tang Dynasty.
Galolin was directly responsible for stealing the weapons and crossbow manufacturing process technology of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, they also did nothing to the Tang Dynasty.
The Japanese are also taking a peek at weapons manufacturing and crossbow manufacturing technology.

Takashi Sakai, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, One is the death chamber sent by Japan to steal weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology.
Now these two people have been arrested and brought to justice by Weichen sent people.
In the face of sufficient witness and material evidence, they are irrefutable and have all confessed. , a total of eighteen officials were bribed by them, and now, these people have been arrested They have been arrested and brought to justice.
Wei Chen has sent people to conduct a detailed investigation on them.
If His Majesty and all your lords and generals do not believe it, they can order a joint trial among the three departments.
Wei Chen will hand over the relevant evidence and witnesses.
This is the testimony of the relevant witnesses.
Jia Luo The confessions of Hayashi and Ryuichi Sakai and the evidence recovered from them."
After listening to Zhao Ziliang's narration, Xuanzong and the ministers had their eyes opened.
They only knew that there was a country like Fu Fu, but they knew nothing about the situation in Fu Fu Country.
They only knew so much after Zhao Ziliang's introduction. detailed.
Xuanzong also realized the seriousness of the matter.
If it were other technologies, Xuanzong and his ministers would not take it seriously.
However, the manufacturing technology of weapons and crossbows is top secret and must not be leaked.
After Xuanzong looked at the testimonies of the witnesses and the original evidence, he looked at Hemar with a bad expression and asked: "Your Excellency Tokichen, even if you are envoys, you cannot act recklessly in our country.
What else do you have to say now?"
" Hemar was unwilling to give in.
He looked at Zhao Ziliang and asked: "General Zhao, I think our country and Japan are not the first countries to want to steal your country's weapon manufacturing and crossbow manufacturing technology.
Why do you and your The subordinates only look at us, but not at the envoys of other countries.
Don’t they want to obtain your country’s weapon-making technology?”
After hearing Hemar's words, Xuanzong and the ministers were also very confused about this.
Yes, why didn't the surrounding small countries such as Tuqishi, Tubo, Huihe in the north, Shiwei, etc. steal our weapons and crossbow manufacturing?
technology Everyone looked at Zhao Ziliang, who saluted Xuanzong and said: "Your Majesty, your lords, and Your Majesty Herma, since I took office as General Zuojinwuwei Youwei, I have only discovered that the Eastern Roman Empire and Japan want to steal our country's weapons. and crossbow making technology, but I believe that some neighboring countries must have stolen our technology before, and they have succeeded."
Xuanzong was puzzled: "Then why didn't they build the same sharp weapons and the same range of crossbows as ours?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Actually, this is very simple.
There are dozens of manufacturing processes to complete the production of a weapon and a crossbow.
It requires several technologies or a combination of dozens of technologies.
Without any one of them, it is impossible to complete the whole process.
The manufacture of a weapon and a crossbow, any technology requires the accumulation of civilization.
These technologies cannot be realized without the corresponding level of civilization.
Wei Chen gave the simplest example.
For example, to make weapons, you must first collect iron ore.
Some iron ores are suitable for making weapons, and some iron ores are only suitable for making agricultural tools.
The craftsmen of our dynasty can rely on the skills left by their predecessors.
We have the knowledge and experience to identify which kinds of ores are suitable for making weapons and which kinds of ores are suitable for making agricultural tools.
However, no one in the surrounding small countries has this kind of knowledge and experience.
Our craftsmen know how to add in iron tools.
Adding certain metals can make weapons sharper and tougher, and can also prevent rust, but no one in the surrounding countries knows this.
They don't even know that other metals exist except gold, silver, copper and iron.
It is the huge gap in technology caused by the gap in civilization level.
Therefore, even if the surrounding small countries obtain our country's weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology, they will not be able to use it for actual manufacturing for the time being.
Your Majesty, I am not looking down on those rotten literati who only care about others all day long.
Literati always look down on other people.
This is wrong.
Everyone has their own value in the world.

I do not deny the role of literati.
They It serves as a bridge to pass down civilization, but the existence of craftsmen allows our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to have the sharpest weapons and crossbows with the longest range in the world."
"It turns out that the role of craftsmen is indeed very important."
Xuanzong sighed very much.
Zhao Ziliang's words made him very proud, and also greatly expanded the national self-confidence of other ministers.
Xuanzong looked at Hemar again and said: "Your Excellency, the evidence is enough to prove that your deputy envoy Galolin is stealing our country's confidential technology through bad means.
This is a capital crime.
I'm afraid I can't help you."
As an envoy, Hemar was of course clear about his mission.
Now that Zhao Ziliang had produced evidence and the testimonies of other witnesses, he knew that the matter had been completely exposed, so he had no choice but to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, the Emperor, please be broad-minded.
Please forgive our sins.
We in the Eastern Roman Empire were really forced by the Great Food Kingdom to have no choice but to take the risk to steal your country’s weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology.
This General Zhao and his subordinates have We have a very sensitive sense of smell.
We always thought that we were doing this very secretly and that it would be impossible for your country to discover it, but unexpectedly we were discovered anyway.
In fact, our country did not want to use this method to obtain your country's weapons and crossbow manufacturing.
Technology, if His Majesty the Emperor agrees, we would like to exchange our country’s armor manufacturing technology, vest manufacturing technology and horse training technology for your country’s weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology.
I don’t know what His Majesty the Emperor thinks.”
"This" Xuanzong did not expect that Hemar would want to use their technology in exchange for Tang Dynasty's weapons and crossbow manufacturing technology, which caught him off guard.
Zhao Ziliang agreed, fearing that Xuanzong would become dizzy, and immediately said to Hemar: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor will discuss this matter with all the ministers.
Please go back first, and we will give you an answer as soon as possible." " Xuanzong also reacted at this time and said quickly: "Yes, Your Excellency Hemar, please go back and rest first.
We will inform you as soon as possible when we have the results."
Seeing this, Hemar couldn't be impatient and could only bow and say goodbye
