Sweep the World

Chapter 845: Uncomfortable, want to cry!

"Seris is not like a civilized country that has been passed down for thousands of years. They are too violent and too barbaric!"

"Can't say the same. If someone threatens to kill their emperor, but they don't react at all, I will doubt if Seris is as powerful as the rumors, and will look down on Seris."

Constantius II has a headache now. It is not his option to start a war with Han, and he cannot say nothing about what the Han people did in Constantinople.

What happened today will be recorded forever in the history of Rome, and may be on par with the Celtic invasion of Rome (it happened around two thousand years BC). It will be a new stain in the history of Rome. It will also be a shame.

The Romans have long since washed away the shame brought about by the Celtics invading the city of Rome, and they are almost annihilating the Celtics. Even if the oppression of the Celtics has not ended until now, it will definitely not. Finish.

"The actions of the Serris have confirmed their strength from another aspect. They are not afraid to go to war with Rome at all, maybe... also want to go to war with Rome?"

"We are so far away from Seris. Facts have proved that our warships cannot sail out of the Mediterranean. It will never be our legion's initiative to go to war. They can cross the sea to gain credibility, and in the known world, Serris can To do such a thing is far crazier and more technical than the Macedonian expedition."

"The distance between the two countries is too far away. I still want to believe that Seris is not here for war."

"Yes, what will happen today is completely Peter's fault."

They said that Peter is now in the Cathedral of Constantinople. He has not been dismissed as the Romans said. On the contrary, he accepts praise from various bishops and archbishops like a hero, and even the archbishop has said that he has fulfilled it. The sacred mission given by the Lord.

The 1,000 gold coins that Peter needed to pay were neatly handed in, but the church helped to provide the money, and he himself was rewarded with two hundred gold coins. From here, we can see the attitude of the 1 governor and 1 religion.

It was not that the officials in Rome deceived Wang Meng. In fact, the reply received by the officials in Rome was exactly what they were said.

The 1st Governor and 1st Church did not take much effort to cover up their actions. Those who should know will know it sooner or later. Even if they do, it will be the same, and those who know will not mention it to the Han people.

Nowadays, in Rome, quite a lot of high-ranking officials are believers of Christianity, and the faith is not important at all. It is Christianity that can bring them benefits.

It is common in any country and any nation to keep one eye open for the sake of benefit. What you do, or what choices you will make when you encounter multiple-choice questions, are just the benefits you can see.

Obviously, Han is too far away from Rome, but the influence of Christianity 1 Governor 1 Church in Rome is too great, and it is a matter of the dignity of the Romans. They have not killed their own people due to diplomatic disputes in history... even that He is a complete bastard, and he has not been killed because of external demands.

The Han people cannot force the Romans to kill their own people, no matter who they are, especially Rome is still very powerful. If things really make it impossible to end, it is nothing more than war.

In the process of unifying Rome, Constantius II relied on the 1st Dove and 1 Religion, and also allowed the 1st Dove and 1 Church to further increase his influence, and also increased in material and financial resources.

For Constantius II, Christianity 1 Governor and 1 Church was already a big deal. At the same time, he did not want to erase Christianity 1 Governor and 1 Church. He just wanted to suppress it, but the facts have repeatedly proved that even if it wants to suppress It is not easy to teach 1 governor and 1 governor.

However, now Constantius II has found an opportunity. He called people he believed to be credible to do this.

"If war is unavoidable, let it come." Constantius II's appearance is still very fortitude. He is a monarch who has come all the way from the flames of war. Hand Raised: "But the war with Syris will not benefit us at all."

Rome now has foreign enemies, and the interior is also a mess.

There are not many foreign enemies in Rome. The Persians who have fought bloodily for thousands of years, the German tribes who have been conquering endlessly, Spain and Gaul, whose national consciousness has regained their heads, are unsuccessful across the strait. The Barbarians of Britain.

The interior of Rome is more complicated. In just a few decades, Christianity has become a behemoth, the remnants of the vassals of Constantine I and Constantine II, and the nobles with heavy arms. Of course, there are also those nephews of Constantius II who have always wanted to deal with them quickly, but they can't do anything at all.

"I learned a famous quote by Seres from Cicero." Constantius II seemed to recall it, speaking in Chinese with a awkward accent, and then repeating it in Roman language: " You must first settle the inside if you want to fight outside."

The source of this sentence is not Lao Jiang. It was first mentioned by Zhang Zhongjing during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is just that Zhang Zhongjing was not talking about using soldiers. In fact, it was written in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases. Sun Disease" when he wrote "Treatise on Febrile Diseases." In the chapter.

Treating diseases and governing the country are actually the same. Only when the most threatening part of the treatment is solved first, and the body bones can be supported, can the condition be treated. In order to govern the country, only one voice inside can concentrate the greatest strength to defend against foreign enemies. Otherwise, not only is the inside messy, but someone wants to overthrow himself from power, how can one defend against the law of foreign enemies?

"I admire the emperor Sirius very much." Constantius II is not like a fake, he is both envy and jealous: "He went from nothing to the master of the empire, using strong means to make the internal formation consistent, all People only obey his orders to easily destroy those powerful external enemies."

In other words, Liu Yan seemed to have really done it before, but he didn't do anything to his subjects and subordinates. In the process of his rise, he bloodyly cleared out the powerful, gentry, aristocratic families, and clans who didn't want to walk together. They really can't be regarded as internal, but they are all external enemies.

"The Seris people obey their emperor, so the Seris people not only wiped out their once powerful enemies, but they can also continue to use foreign troops." Constantius II could hardly conceal the bad luck and unwillingness on his face: "I'm all here. What are you doing? It's the ruler of Rome in name, but it's almost impossible to decide Rome in reality."

The truth is that no ruler in Roman history can truly dominate Rome, whether it is Gaius Julius Caesar, Septimius Severus, or Gavis Octavian Augustus, no one did what seemed to be done easily in the Eastern Empire.

Is it that Zhuxia’s people don’t like freedom? No, it is the history of the rise in ancient times that has taught us a lesson. Only the existence of a voice can exert the greatest strength of a nation, thereby creating a collective consciousness and passing it on.

History has repeatedly proved one thing, Zhu Xia is not stifling freedom, but once there are multiple voices that always make Zhu Xia fall into extreme weakness, giving foreign races an opportunity to take advantage, it proves that no matter how bad the central group is, it is better than the so-called so-called. Freedom is good.

The Romans are different. They have been accustomed to "freedom" since ancient times. Even if there is a short-term central group, it is a false central group. They are going to grow in "free", and from growing to becoming stronger, they will naturally think that the "free" system is the best system.

Rome was able to pass on "freedom". It was not that there were no strong rulers who wanted to end "freedom", but that the foundation of "freedom" was based on force. Anyone with a well-founded family can raise private soldiers, and any ruler who wants to end "freedom" welcomes everyone's counterattack, so unless the ruler can sweep it by himself, he should be honest.

In fact, no matter it is this or that, only the most suitable is the most suitable. When the same system is implemented in different ethnic groups, some ethnic groups will be extremely strong, but some ethnic groups will be chaotic and weak.

It's not that Constantius II didn't think of working on the inside, but the idea of ​​working on it was reborn and pressed himself down. He has made detailed comparisons many times in the dead of night. There are 27 legions in his hands, and there are more than forty legions that have regular formations outside of his control, not counting those nobles. Private army.

What irritated and embarrassed Constantius II was that the threats presented to him were not the most important thing. Once they were torn apart from the nobles, ordinary Romans and citizens would never choose to stand on their side. .

"You need money, a lot, a lot of money." Luce Kruger Deia said the truth of the world: "The Romans only succumb to money now."

Rome does not have a caste system, but having a glorious surname in Rome will add countless points. In every period of time in Rome, there are some surnames that are unattractive, the kind that would rather offend the consul or Augustus to death than to provoke the severity of those surnames.

Deya belonged to that unattractive surname during a certain period of time in Rome. The Deia family once ruled Rome twice, the first time it was the division of the four emperors, and the second time it was the supreme ruler of Rome as a whole.

Luce Kruger Deya is enjoying the shadow brought by his surname, and his family has been kept in the upper reaches of Roman society in order to become the treasurer of Rome.

There are many positions of treasurer in Rome. Local provinces have their own treasurers, and families have their own treasurers, but there is one position that is unique, that is, the treasurer of the capital. Although they are all finance officials, the finance officer of the capital is in charge of the finances of the entire country. The Romans are accustomed to call it chief finance officer, and Luce Kruger Deya is now in such a position.

"Association with Seris can bring you wealth." Luce Kruger Dea said seriously: "The Serris may be evil, but their gold is not hateful. There is no doubt that you need it now. Friendship from Seris."

"Your Excellency the Treasurer is right." Flavis Valentiniannus echoed: "You really need wealth from Serris."

Many people later agreed, and they agreed that even if there is a war with Han, what Constantius II should do at present is to obtain wealth.

We must know one thing deeply, no matter what historical period Rome is in, wealth is always the most important.

The death of the Romans was fixed from the moment the election was born. The electors can bribe voters in a fair manner. Doesn't it mean that the ruling status of the country can be bought with money?

What frightened the Roman rulers of all ages was that the first rebellion of the Roman Legion was because the military pay was not paid. The first rebellion occurred on the Ninth Spanish Legion. The rebellion of the Roman Legion was not matched with the military pay. .

During the reign of Roman officers, money really did what it meant to be able to do whatever they wanted. As a result, everyone understood that there would be serious consequences if there was no money, which made the Romans even more confession of money.

"We can't monopolize all the benefits, but we can occupy most of the benefits, especially now." Luz Kruger Deya is not the lamb of the Lord, he believes in the Olympus **** system. In the past, I did not give up the trip to the 1st Governor and 1 teacher, and would not give up the trip to the 1st Governor: "If there is no error in the description of the Serris in the rumors. On the stage of interacting with Seris, they It's out."

"It's not just the 1 governor and 1 church. There are reasons to believe that those people are out." Flavis Valentiniannus is also not the lamb of the Lord, and he did not hide his gloat at all: "I am very grateful for myself now. They believe in Poseidon~lightnovelpub.net~ The Romans are particular about what gods they believe in. The Valentiniannus family believes in Poseidon, which is equivalent to their family relying on the sea for food.

The Valentiniannus family is a rising star in Rome. The real development was in the era of the four emperors. They relied on standing correctly and the team made the first windfall. Later, they chose the family to take the ocean development route extremely correctly. , Earned a lot of wealth by mastering a route that no one else knew, including smuggling weapons from Rome to selling them to the barbarians in Great Britain.

Among the people summoned by Constantius II, there is no shortage of the "Lord" Lamb, but only you know how pious you can be. Their faces are not so good-looking, including Constantine. Uth II himself.

The Christian Church is not officially designated as the State Church in Rome, but in fact it is the State Church in Rome. Beginning with Constantine I, whether it was competing for the throne of Augustus or sitting on the throne of Augustus, it was pretending to pretend to be devotion to the "Lord".

"Julian and the Han envoy are very close." Constantius II really didn't like Julian, but he noticed a little bit from Wang Meng's attitude towards Julian, and if he didn't like it, he had to relax the relationship: " I want Julian to be on our side!"
