Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 1011 Time flies like an arrow to make people grow old, and the sun and the moon drive away young people like a shuttle!
Winter goes and spring comes again, like water like years.In a blink of an eye, the new year has arrived.

Lu Qian was one year older. Seeing the white hairs growing on his head, he couldn't help feeling tense, feeling very sad that "days never come again, time waits for no one".

Old, old, almost sixty.

Don't talk about anything else, just say that his force value has dropped to the zero point of 90 at this time, and you can truly understand why time makes people grow old.

If we say that Lu Qi ten years ago was an unknown sweeping monk, no matter how fierce he is, he would not be his opponent, but now, he has transformed from a sweeping monk to Xiao Yuanshan. The decline, from Lu Bu to Guan Er Zhang San.

There is only one reason for this, and that is that he is really old.

Boxing is a hurdle that no one can overcome.As people get older, their muscles and bones become soft, their physical strength and energy decline, and their strength should also decrease sharply.

Time flies like an arrow to urge people to grow old, and the sun and the moon drive away young people like a shuttle!
But Lu Qian wasn't too scared.

Resurrection, he has done everything he can do.

Borrow a famous saying from Paul Kochagin: A person's life should be spent like this: when he recalls the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor will he be ashamed for being inactive; Said: "My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world and the struggle for the greatness of China."

As a "youth" with anger in his bones, he watched Khitan, Dangxiang, and Jurchen submit to his feet one by one. He watched Koryo, Japan, South Vietnam and other countries all belong to Han soil. He watched Tianzhu kneel down and sing conquest, and Tianfang cried Qi's body was paralyzed from the beating, and the Europeans would kiss his blade with their necks, so what if he was old?
The old is meaningful, the old is worth it!
He didn't want to be an immortal emperor like the tortoise bastard, so when he found that time had passed like a dog's meat bun, he was very calm.

The pace of time should be so ruthless, otherwise, it would be a greater sorrow to go through a round of winter, summer, spring and autumn silently.

Watch the sunrise and sunset, the clouds roll and relax; listen to the ebb and flow of the tide, and the flowers fade and bloom!

As soon as the eyes are closed and opened, one day passes; as soon as the eyes are closed, the life is over!

This is not the life he wants to live.

If so, being busy is also a kind of happiness, and being tired is also a kind of enjoyment!Seeing a glorious empire that has never been seen in ancient and modern times being born bit by bit in my own hands, this kind of spiritual satisfaction is the highest pursuit in life!

……

The land of the Central Plains is full of joy and joy. In the past year, there have been frequent news of Lu Qi's victory, not to mention that just after the New Year's Day, there was another good news on the Tianzhu battlefield-Xu Huiyan led an army of 2 people to defeat the main force of Zhu Luoguo. For the legion, there are nearly a thousand war elephants captured alive, plus thousands of good horses, and the total number of enemies wiped out is no less than [-]!
It is said that the emperor of the Chula Kingdom, Kurutunga Chola II, was wounded on the battlefield.

This is really the icing on the cake.

With the weakness of the Seljuks, and as the situation on the Tianzhu battlefield became more and more inclined to the Lu Qi army, everyone thought that victory was no longer far away.The thighs of the Goddess of Victory have been opened to the Chinese, and everything is so wonderful!

……

Innocent II wanted to mediate the conflict between Byzantium and the Knights of the Crusaders. John II certainly agreed. Under the current conditions, since Byzantium could no longer take back Antioch with a tough stance, why not make a concession?

Even if you want to regain your homeland, at least you have to wait until the Chinese are repelled, right?It's like when Principal Chang wanted to suppress the Communist Party, he could only do it after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. On weekdays, he only played some small tricks and made some small frictions!
But as mentioned in the previous article, the situation in the Middle East really affects the whole body.

Among the four knight kingdoms, the southernmost Kingdom of Jerusalem has the most resounding name, but its strength is definitely not outstanding.It's just the safest location.

Regardless of the fact that the southern tip of the Kingdom of Jerusalem is the Sinai Peninsula, it is Egypt. However, after the Fatimid Dynasty experienced a big defeat 40 years ago, this decadent empire had difficulty parrying the Ethiopians in the south, and it was no longer able to attack Jerusalem again. offensive.On the contrary, the Kingdom of Jerusalem has always had a heart to conquer Egypt.

It's just that its fragile national power also made the three successive kings have more than enough heart and power.This can be seen from the fact that the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Fatimid Dynasty only maintain small-scale low-intensity conflicts every year!
However, in the strange area south of Egypt, there is still a force belonging to the world of one god exuding vitality.

The Zagwi dynasty of Ethiopians is on the rise, jumping into the eyes of John II with a dazzling gesture.

Although this is a group of black Shuli, as long as it is helpful to the war, John II can admit without hesitation that those black Shuli with slightly lighter skin in Ethiopia are white people and loyal people of God.

But everyone knows that Ethiopians have a better relationship with the Chinese.

They were concerned about Lu Qi's reaction, and they didn't want to send troops to stimulate the nerves of Lu Qi's court.

You must know that Lu Qi's support for them over the years is crucial to the rapid development and growth of the Zagwi dynasty in Ethiopia.And because the road to the west was completely blocked by the Famadi dynasty in Egypt, the silk, porcelain and other goods that the Ethiopians entered from Lu Qi every year were all sent to the deeper parts of Africa.

In South Sudan, Congo, Central Africa, Uganda and other places in later generations, the tribes there are still at a fairly primitive level, and the Zagwi Dynasty can earn a lot of profits from them.

In order to make their business with China more convenient and fast, they also launched a counterattack against the Beja people, the younger brothers of the Famadi Dynasty, and successfully established a foothold on the west coast of the Red Sea.

In order to defend trade, they established a navy almost from the beginning when the Zagvi dynasty gained a foothold on the west coast of the Red Sea, and under the personal supervision and support of the emperor of the dynasty, it developed very fast, and the strength of the fleet has been expanding, making Fati The Ma Dynasty is already feeling the pressure.

Although they believe in Orthodoxy (belonging to the Coptic sect of Orthodoxy), they are no longer the country of Aksum, and they have severed all interest ties with the West.Even the bilateral [Byzantine] connection is only a recent one.

In this case, let them engage in a very possible war with Lu Qi, and the lifeblood of the Ethiopians - trade with China will surely fall into the most desperate situation.

They live a very comfortable life today, the biggest reason is that Lu Qi has huge resources and countless commodities that exceed their own standards.This makes the gold, rhino horn, ivory, etc. in their hands useful.

"I'm very sorry, my respected Majesty. The Ethiopians refuse to launch a war against the Chinese!" Nikephorus is the brother-in-law of John II and the heir to the throne recognized by John II's mother Irina earlier.

Although Chinese people can't understand what makes a mother prefer to let her son-in-law inherit the throne, but also resolutely oppose her son.

But Nikephoros' retreat at the critical moment allowed John II to successfully inherit the throne.And also won the trust of John II.

This trip to Ethiopia, John II chose him as his envoy, which can be said to have high hopes.Unfortunately, the result still disappointed him.

"These damned niggers, they should be hanged and then all hell. May the good God bless those children. Then punish those heretics who hurt them!"

Mosul has been conquered, Lu Qi's army has entered Asia Minor, and the Byzantines are already bleeding.
