Luxor stands like a majestic thousand-year-old giant on the dividing line between the Aegean Sea and the Baltic Sea. Standing on the top of the city of Luxor and looking up, the boundless sea water gently laps the coast, and the merchant ships lined up on the pier seem to The rise and fall of this city and the kingdom has not been affected much by the change of ownership. The bustling merchants, sailors and dock workers are still busy according to their own life tracks. Passengers and freight carriages are rushing to and from the city and the dock. Except for Tang soldiers in black military uniforms occasionally seen on the pier were vigilantly occupying the throat of the main road with guns and weapons in hand. The Golden Roc flag replaced the Duke Meili flag that used to represent the York family. Nothing seemed to have changed.
Cui Wenxiu was very satisfied with the scene in front of him. It had been a week since he entered Luxor, and the situation in Luxor was calmer than expected. This was also thanks to the full cooperation of the Grand Duke of York. At least a few incidents were avoided under his call. Riots and wars, although the final victory must belong to the Tang army, Cui Wenxiu did not want to see that scene.
Cui Wenxiu also frankly exchanged views on this issue with the Duke of York who had abdicated. It should be said that the Duke of York acted very wisely at this time. Cui Wenxiu could not understand why the other party was so reckless and impulsive in his decision to help the Luzon people. Perhaps as the Grand Duke of York himself said, he has never made a mistake in his life, and one mistake is fatal. At this time, Cui Wenxiu admired the Grand Duke of York who was not too old. He was in his fifties and almost sixty years old. His performance is quite open-minded. I wonder if the huge changes that happened to him made him like this or is it just forgetfulness
The Prindisi River meanders from the Anatolian plain and divides into several branches into the sea in the city of Luxor. The city of Luxor is therefore divided into several parts. The two river mouths pour into the Baltic Sea to the north. , but the three estuaries flow into the Aegean Sea in the south. The city is crisscrossed by rivers and covered with bridges. The dense water network makes Luxor full of the atmosphere of an exotic water town. Large and small stone bridges and small boats that travel back and forth have become the most important means of transportation to communicate with various parts of Luxor.
Perhaps it was the long period of peace that allowed the Meili people to develop the habit of being lazy and advocating a luxurious life. The natural superior conditions of the Principality of Meili and Luxor brought them not only rich wealth, but also made their character gradually fade away. Transformed into this leisurely and leisurely laziness. Even Cui Wenxiu walking on the street could clearly feel the laziness and indifference of the people in Luxor. This is a nation that has lost its enterprising spirit, a nation that only knows how to lie on the pile of spices and gold coins and gradually degenerate, a typical nation that is strong on the outside and hard on the inside, although this only refers to their national character and military strength. In fact, their culture, art, architectural sculptures, etc. have been elevated to a higher level.
Delicate and fragile, this is Cui Wenxiu’s comment on this country. Delicacy is beautiful, but without strong power to protect this delicacy, the delicacy may be shattered by external forces. If you cannot understand this nation in depth, you will definitely be frightened by the superficial splendor and nobility of this nation. Fortunately, I was not like this, and the risk paid off beyond my imagination. Since the Melians cannot defend the exquisite beauty they have inherited for a long time, let the Empire be their master and protector.
After the Grand Duke of York abdicated, he and his large family returned to the seaside manor thirty kilometers away from Luxor to rest. Cui Wenxiu admired the free and easy manner of the Grand Duke of York. When the Tang army entered Luxor, he could have taken a boat and fled to neighboring countries or to Constantine across the sea or to other countries in the Western Continent. It is said that the Grand Duke of York was a rare expert in business management. In Constantine and the Western Continent, Countries on the mainland have huge investments, and there are even several gorgeous castles in several major countries in the western continent.
After Cui Wenxiu proposed an absolute guarantee of the private property of the York family and the Meili nobles, the Meili nobles headed by the York family immediately surrendered, and the two sides hardly argued on other issues. Everything went extremely smoothly. Perhaps in their eyes, wealth is the most important thing, and it cannot even be compared to the master of a country. This is indeed somewhat inconsistent with the thinking of people on the Eastern Continent.
Wandering on the streets of Luxor, wide and flat bluestone floors cover the streets and alleys. The Wangos Mountains from Luxor have provided Luxor with sufficient building materials, making the urban area of Luxor expand day by day. However, it does not appear disorganized at all. The historical relics that can be seen everywhere are the greatest and most important existence of Luxor City. They are also the main reason why tourists from all over the mainland, especially the western mainland, come here to travel here. The huge and well-preserved plum blossoms The National Museum of Liberia, the National Museum of Luxor, and many private museums and libraries are all world-famous treasure houses.
The ancient buildings and historical relics inside and outside the city are even more famous on the mainland, such as the Great Temple of Karnak, the Temple of Carabosa, the Colossus of Menon, the Nineveh Obelisk, the Hephra Golden Inscriptions and the Sakyamuni Inscriptions. There are the Dashur Temple and the Hadak Temple, the Kings Canyon on the Prindisi River, and countless tombs and ruins, which prove the glorious history of Luxor for more than a thousand years.
Although Cui Wenxiu is not very proficient in this aspect, he knows that His Majesty the Emperor pays special attention to and attaches great importance to this aspect. Back then, in Hailum City in Lahore, the empire once moved a large number of cultural relics to the territory of the Pancha people. Later, they were all moved to Hanzhong. It is estimated that they have now reached the imperial capital and become a collection of the Imperial National Museum. Therefore, the first order Cui Wenxiu issued after entering the city of Luxor was to declare that all publicly owned cultural relics and monuments were the property of the empire and no one was allowed to damage them. At the same time, the flow of cultural relics out of Luxor was prohibited to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the cultural relics.
Cui Wenxiu discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, the city's public administrators are extremely serious and responsible, and they take great care of public buildings and various historical relics, even if they have just accepted the jurisdiction of Luxor City. After that, these people still performed their duties without any regrets, without considering whether they would not be recognized by the new owners. Their hard work also protected the circulation of these historical relics to a large extent.
The leisurely atmosphere exuding from Luxor City even affected Cui Wenxiu. He found that he seemed to sleep much better here. He didn't know whether it was because the long-term mental stress was now being relieved or because it was what the locals called Luxor. Because it is a paradise for lazy people, Cui Wenxiu prefers the latter, so that he can enjoy his life here until the officials sent by the Imperial Administration arrive here.
The Melis are not a native ethnic group on this land. They should be a mixture of multiple ethnic groups, including the Yakuans in the Indian region, the whites and Andes in the western continent, and the Moors and people further south. The Mafei people, multiple nationalities and races, races and civilizations all blended together here, forming a unique civilization here, and now it seems that the Tang civilization is also nourished.
There are many beautiful women scattered on the steps in the river branch. Their gorgeous and luxurious clothes and exquisite and dazzling metal headdresses show their special status as prostitutes. This is also a major feature of Luxor City. , it is said that the number of women engaged in this industry in the entire city of Luxor has reached nearly 30,000. They are distributed in several major urban areas of Luxor and make a living by recruiting merchants and travelers from all over the world.
The spring-like climate all year round and the long historical and cultural relics have made Luxor the most famous tourist city in the entire Baltic Sea and Aegean Sea. It is said that more than 300,000 tourists come here every year, and these merchants and travelers are not only engaged in business. Apart from doing business and admiring the scenery, in your spare time you can't help but taste another delicacy of Luxor...the Mery Girl.
The mixed advantages of multiple ethnic groups have created the natural charm of Meili women, and the Luxor people who advocate luxury and vanity despise the kind of life in which physical labor is exchanged for rewards. This trend also makes Luxor *** The career has been greatly catalyzed and developed. Women are not ashamed to engage in a career of flesh and blood. On the contrary, if a woman wears rags, she will be ridiculed by people. Men do not seem to think there is anything wrong with eating soft rice.
The small boats that shuttle back and forth in the river are undoubtedly the main means of transportation for prostitutes. There are hundreds of hotels and inns scattered along the coast and along the river at the mouth of the sea. These are the main places where prostitutes attract customers, and pimps gather here, vying for the first place. Carrying and disturbing the guests. The Tianjin Hotel on the Mula Cliff is undoubtedly the most famous place in Luxor.
Cui Wenxiu did not live in the vacated Grand Duke's Palace. In this regard, he was still very self-aware. He led the army outside. Although His Majesty granted him full power, Cui Wenxiu knew that the people from the Imperial National Security Agency and the Imperial Security Bureau were not They are idlers, their eyes are following their every move. They have a high and powerful position, but it is all given by His Majesty. If they have any misconduct, I am afraid that His Majesty will immediately have a secret report on his desk.
Cui Wenxiu had received some news before that. Many people in the country believed that they had too many troops and too much military power. However, this was an opinion raised by some supervisors of the Supervisory Yuan. Cui Wenxiu was not sure whether Linghu was Wing also has this view, but at least His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to agree with this opinion. This is proved by the fact that the Imperial Eleventh Army has arrived in the Indian region and begun to deploy defenses in the southern Indian region.
