Half a month before Wang Fangyi launched the Battle of Ctesiphon, Massoud's envoys went to Constantinople, the capital of Eastern Rome, and they met Constans II, and after learning that Broken Leaf planned to swallow Persia in one gulp, Constans II, who was politically wise, immediately realized that if Persia perished, then his Roman Empire would be swallowed up by the powerful British, just like the Wu State in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he saw.Constans II understood the truth very well, and he immediately convened his ministers to discuss the matter, but what he didn't expect was that his idea of sending troops to aid Ctesiphon was blocked by the ministers."
Did you know that once the British finish digesting Persia, then our Roman Empire will directly face the threat of a terrifying beast?
The Persians are about to die, and if we don't send troops to rescue them, then their today will be our tomorrow......"
Constans II said angrily as he sat on his throne."
Your Majesty, to put it mildly, the combat effectiveness of the British is not at all what we can resist now....."
The Duke of Ascension, who succeeded the Chief Minister after Prushac's death, saw that Constans II insisted on sending troops, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you have also seen the power of the muskets of the British......
In front of the musket, no matter how fine the armor is...... it is the same as sackcloth, "Since Li Lu made the thermal weapon of musket artillery, all parties, including the Constantinople side, actually got some muskets from some sources, but they tried all means and did not get the gunpowder formula, this is no gunpowder, muskets and burning sticks are no different.Seeing that Ascensio mentioned the musket, Constans II sat up straight and said angrily, "Of course I know how powerful the musket is......
The old duke of Ascensia, you have been in charge of the empire's workshop for a long time, and I ask you, have you figured out the formula of gunpowder?
”"It is a pity, my majesty, that, like our Roman fire, the English have kept their gunpowder secret secret secret secret......
We've exhausted all means, but we can't do it......
Those black powders, even the top alchemists can't analyze the specific proportion......"
Assensio shook his head and said."
Waste, all waste......
"Constans II said angrily, "Spread my will, if there is anyone who cracks the gunpowder formula, I will reward .......
Brof, your people continue to operate in England, no matter how much it costs, you must get the gunpowder formula......."
The emperor was angry, and the courtiers naturally did not dare to say more, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that gunpowder is not impossible to deal ......with" Just when Constans II was angry, an officer named Aloisia stood up, "Gunpowder is afraid of waterOnce you fight in the rain, the gunpowder will not work when it is damp..... and the musket will not meet the sandstorm......
As long as the timing is right, the British can be caught off guard......
"Hearing someone say that there is a way to deal with the terrible thermal weapons, Constans II smiled, "Aloy Aiqing, you tell me carefully......"
"Your Majesty, we have done experiments......
That's it......
As long as the time is right, the minister thinks that the British army is not invincible..."
Aroisio told Constans II how they had experimented with the precious firearms obtained from the English army by secret means, and finally he swore that the English army was not terrible."
Oh?
Aloisia, I have entrusted you with the task of sending troops to rescue Ctesiphon, can you take on this heavy responsibility?
”Hearing Aroisia say that the firearms of the British army were not terrible, Constans II was overjoyed, and he immediately stared at this Aloy Western Ao with burning eyes."
Your Majesty, if you insist on asking your ministers to lead troops to Ctesiphon, your ministers can only go......
It's not that the minister is afraid of death, but there is no possibility of rescue for this Ctesiphon..... the British will not let us reach Ctesiphon smoothly......"
Aloisio said, "Massoud is now a dry bone in the grave, he is dead..... we don't have Poole, the former Persian Shahansha, this is the time to play his role....."
Listening to Aloisia's talk of Shapur III, who took refuge under his wing, Constans II slapped his head, yes, how could I forget this person who could be used?
Since the death of the old prime minister Rustam, this Shapur III has become a complete loner, and he is a puppet that Constans II can use.Thinking of this, he immediately came to his senses, "Aloy Asi, I have decided that you will escort Shapur III back to the throne...""
Your Majesty, now is not the time for us to turn against the British, so the minister suggests that we intervene in this war as mercenaries......"
Aloisio walked to the front of the map, picked up a baton, pointed at the map and said, "Ctesiphon, we will definitely not get it, but Palmyra, Homs, Aleppo these places, we must be in our hands.....
I suggest that Shapur III can be placed in Palmyra, and he will rule the Persians who live here for us, It also acts as a buffer zone with the British......" and "quasi-....."
Constans II was very satisfied with Aroisia's suggestion, mercenaries went to war, and his cheap brother-in-law must not be able to pick any thorns, "Li Lu can support Is'e to establish Eastern Persia, and I can also establish a new Persian ...... in Palmyra" Although the vast majority of courtiers, including the chief minister Ascensia, were opposed to direct intervention in Persian affairs, Constans II decided to propose a Persian puppet state in the upper reaches of the two river valleys, and he sent Aloisia to lead 30,000 Eastern Roman cavalry" Escort "Shapur III to Palmyra.After learning that he could sit on the throne of Shahansha again, Shapur III, who had grown up, was happy, he was fed up with the days under the fence, although this time it is very likely that he will still be a puppet, but it is better to be a puppet than to be a puppet, as long as he survives, he can get rid of the control of the Romans like his grandfather Kuth Lao II, drive out the hateful British invaders, exterminate those Mazdak rebels, and re-realize the revival of the Persian Empire.The change in Constantinople was soon learned by the Eastern Roman Branch of the Jinyi Guard, and they immediately reported the relevant information to the front line of Ctesiphon and Broken Leaf City, after getting the information, Wang Fangyi immediately adjusted the deployment, and he transferred Shi Xin and the three of them to the north according to the explanation of Li Lu before coming to Lianghe, to give the Romans who did not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth a little color.After Wang Fangyi made adjustments, Li Lu's order also passed from Broken Leaf to the front line of Ctesiphon, his order was very simple, as long as Constantinople dared to stretch out his claws, then Wang Fangyi must cut off the small claws stretched out by Constans II, and Li Lu also explained that he should not enter the Eastern Roman border for the time being......
Seeing Li Lu's will, Wang Fangyi breathed a sigh of relief, he sent Li Lu's order to Shi Xin and the three of them, and let the three of them play freely, while he himself focused on Taixifeng, Wang Fangyi was determined to take Taixifeng at all costs."
The Romans are moving faster than we expected......"
Seeing the latest information sent by Jinyiwei, Shi Xin frowned, "They have already sent Shapur III to Palmyra and established the Third Persian ......"
"Chief, it's not surprising .....that this area is called Li by the Romans.
Every.
In the special region, although there are many Persians here, there are also many Christians who believe in the Christianity......
We in Mazdaq and Daomen have basically no roots here....."
Sphinx said with a smile, he and Guan Sai had to obey Shi Xin's command in this battle, so it was not wrong to call Shi Xin's leader."
Bearded, you said Lai.
Every.
There's no one of us over there?

”Guan Plug also frowned, "Straight lady thief, this Li.
Every.
It's really hard to fight, you see, there's a big desert between us and it.....""
Yes....."
The Sphinx nodded, "Our people have tried to spread the word about Mazdak and Daomen over there, but, well, with little success..... the people over there did not participate in this great uprising, on the contrary, they called us traitors and infidels....""
Hmph, a group of people who don't know how to lift, it seems that if they don't give them some color to see, they won't know what to do....."
Shi Xin, as the supreme commander of the Northern Front, said coldly, "Whether it is the Diao people here or the Romans who support them, we have to use iron and blood to tell them that the consequences of disobedience are very serious......."
Shi Xin returned his gaze to the map after speaking, he stared at the yellow spot that represented the desert, and after a long time, he raised his head, "Although the Romans have occupied Li.
Every.
Specially, although there is the assistance of that group of Diao people, but in the face of absolute strength, all this is not worth mentioning......"
