Chapter 1041 Ancient Oriental Language
In the end, Maloer broke the calm. He knocked the table three times with his fingers and said, "Although we can't figure out how the other party did it, or even who the other party is? We must be more careful with Feng Hu. From today onwards, all ships passing through our defense zone must be inspected more strictly. Anyone with Liang people on the ship is allowed to be released! Anyone with military supplies on the ship is allowed to be released! Anyone with surely going to Genoa Port is allowed to be released! In these three situations, all the materials on the ship are confiscated, and all the personnel will be detained first!"
Everyone understood what these three "no one is allowed to be released". A captain of a thousand-man captain asked carefully: "General, we are actually blocking the Port of Genoa. This...if Feng Hu sued Alexander..."
Marlower waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "I am afraid that he will sue, so I will not be able to capture his ship in front of me. Alexander didn't even take it seriously, are you afraid that he will sue?"
...
Life is fast, and winter is coming, and spring is coming, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. In the past six months, the size of Feng Yu's army camp, located not far from Milan, has doubled, and even so, it cannot accommodate the increasing number of troops. Various workshops have been built outside the camp.
In addition to some basic production units such as iron factories and timber factories, there are also traditional Roman crossbows, some that produce new portable and individual crossbows using rubber bands, and naturally there are workshops that specialize in the production and application of Greek fire weapons.
Of course, some workshops that are related to technical secrets are not included. For example, there is no rubber vulcanizing workshop for producing rubber bands. The rubber bands used are transported from thousands of miles away from Tenglong City, far away from Myanmar. Fortunately, this thing does not account for the total volume or volume. One delivery is enough for Feng Yujun's workshops in need for one year.
None of the ships in Genoa Port have increased, and the blockade of the northern waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea by the Mallor fleet has not been lifted. However, with the help of the veteran navy Gan Ning, Feng Yu, this miniature fleet with only nine galloping warships, more than twenty semi-submersible ships, and fifty or sixty fishing boats and merchant ships has been trained to become elite troops on the water.
Feng Yu naturally reported the incident of the Marlower fleet's open blockade of Genoa Port. But as Marlower said, Alexander had no choice but to use him. Alexander just sent an accountability letter, demanding that Marlower not block the waterway for no reason.
But Mallor replied in an understatement that his three warships disappeared for no reason and that the bodies of the fleet crew were found. He was highly suspected that there were a considerable number of armed warships smuggling or other shady illegal activities. Therefore, he had to strengthen his vigilance and investigation. But this was not a blockade, because as long as there were no Gentiles on the ship and no military supplies, he was not going to the area on the coast where the Port of Genoa was located, his fleet did not intercept it.
Alexander looked at this logically flawed defense, but he could no longer do anything to Marlower. This matter could only end up in silence.
Now, according to Alexander's strength, he can't do anything to Marol. In the past six months, Alexander has not been idle. The strength of the Guards' Corps directly under him who can command himself has doubled and has been organized into a new army. As a result, his Guards Corps became the Guards Army.
On that day, his mother was having lunch in the palace, but Alexander walked in with a breeze on his face. Amyas glanced at him and said, "You don't go back to the palace at this time, why did you come back so early today?" After that, she ordered the maids to prepare a meal for Alexander.
But Alexander said, "No need, I have used food in the military camp. I will tell you something when I come back."
Amyas said: "Look at your expression, what kind of happiness should be. Tell me quickly."
But Alexander curled his lips and said, "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. It depends on what angle it is."
"Stop keeping it aside, talk!"
"There was an accident in Sicily and another slave riot broke out. The family of the ombudsman Proseus could hardly stand it. Although this was not a good thing for our Roman Empire. But if this great riot could exhaust the strength of the Proseus family, it would help us revive the obstacles on the road to Rome."
When Amyas heard this, the knife and fork in his hand fell on the plate. She pondered for a moment and said, "We should immediately find ways to help the Sicily province quell this riot."
Alexander waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Hey, mother, why are you panic? This quelling the rebellion must be quelled, but we don't have to worry. When Sicily is in chaos and the Prosus family is seriously damaged, we will clean up the mess again."
Amyas frowned and said, "My son, why are you so confused? When the Proseus family was seriously injured, I am afraid that the fire of the riots had spread throughout the Apennine Peninsula. You must know that although Sicily is an island, it is not an isolated island. The narrowest part of the Messina Strait between it and the Apennines is only a few hundred meters. Ordinary people can swim across the strait. Will those riots be limited to moving on the Sicily island? What's more terrifying is that if we don't fail to calm down, it will greatly damage your prestige and make people feel that you are weak and can have the idea of replacing you or becoming king."
After a pause, Amyas continued, "Remember, we fight with those nobles again and again, but the slave riots threaten the entire Roman Empire. As the consul, the Roman emperor has the responsibility to take on the burden of suppressing the rebellion."
Alexander frowned and said, "But my son knows an old saying in the Liang Kingdom in the East, "Crane and clam fight, and the fisherman gains profit. It means that a crane pecks a clam, but the other party holds the mouth. In the end, the crane cannot fly, and the clam cannot swim away. In the end, they are all captured by the fisherman. I don't want to be that crane. After fighting with the rioters, both of them are injured and then be hacked from behind."
Amyas shook his head and said, "Since you accepted Feng Hu to Rome, I have also asked someone to find some translation books to understand the East and Liang Kingdoms. I found that there is a considerable difference between them and us. I also know the story you told, but it does not apply to Rome and cannot be copied. Because you, the rebel slaves, and those Roman nobles are not related to cranes and clams and fishermen."
