"Cyris doesn't look like a civilized country with thousands of years of inheritance. They are too violent and barbaric!"
"I can't say that. If someone threatens to kill their emperor, but they don't respond, I will doubt whether cyris is as powerful as the rumor and will look down on cyris."
Constantius II now has a headache. It is not his option to simply go to war with the Han state. At the same time, he can't say nothing about what the Han people did in Constantinople.
What happened today will be recorded forever in the history of Rome, which may be compared with the Celtic invasion of Rome (it happened around 2000 BC), which will be a new stain and Disgrace in the history of Rome.
The Romans had long washed away the humiliation brought by the Celts' invasion of Rome, and almost exterminated the Celts. Even now, the oppression of the Celts has not ended, and will not end.
"The actions of the cyris proved their strength on the other hand. They are not afraid to go to war with Rome at all. Perhaps... They also want to go to war with Rome?"
"We are so far away from cyris. Facts have proved that our warships can't get out of the Mediterranean. It will never be our Legion's initiative to start a war. They can cross the sea. It is known that the cyris people in the world can do such things, which is far more crazy and technical than the machiden expedition."
"The distance between the two countries is too far. I'm still willing to believe that Siris didn't come for war."
"Yes, what will happen today is entirely Peter's fault."
Peter, as they said, is now in the Cathedral of Constantinople. He is not dismissed as the Romans said. On the contrary, he receives praise from bishops and archbishops like a hero, and even the Archbishop speaks that he has fulfilled the sacred mission given by the "Lord".
Peter paid the 1000 gold coins he needed to pay, but the church helped pay the money, and he himself received a reward of 200 gold coins. From here, we can see the attitude of fundamentalism, supervision and religion.
It was not those Roman officials who deceived Wang Meng. In fact, the reply received by Roman officials was what they said, but ji1 Du1 religion said it was one thing and did it another.
Ji1 governor 1 did not spend much effort to cover up his own behavior. Those who should know will know sooner or later. Even if they know, it will be the same. Those who know will not mention it to the Han people.
In today's Rome, a considerable number of dignitaries are believers of ji1 Du1 religion. It doesn't matter how pious their faith is. It is ji1 Du1 religion that can bring benefits to them.
For the sake of interests, it is common for any country and any nation to turn a blind eye. What to do, or what choice to make when encountering multiple-choice questions, just see how big the interests will be.
Obviously, the Han country is too far away from Rome, but the influence of ji1 Du1 religion in Rome is too great, which is also related to the dignity of the Romans. They have not killed their own people because of diplomatic disputes in history... Even if they are a complete asshole, they have not killed them because of external demands.
The Han people can't force the Romans to kill their own people, no matter who, especially Rome is still very strong. If things really get too noisy to end, it's nothing more than war.
Constantius II relied on ji1 Du1 religion in the process of unifying Rome, which further increased his influence, material and financial resources.
For Constantius II, ji1 Du1 religion has been a big deal. At the same time, he did not want to erase the idea of ji1 Du1 religion. He just wanted to suppress it. However, facts have repeatedly proved that it is not easy even to suppress ji1 Du1 religion.
Now, however, Constantius II has found an opportunity. He has summoned those who believe him to do it.
"If war cannot be avoided, let it come." Constantius II's appearance was still very resolute. He was a monarch who came all the way from the war. He did not grow up in a deep palace and was raised by women's hands: "but the war with cyris did us no good."
Now Rome has foreign enemies and its interior is a mess.
There are not many foreign enemies in Rome. The Persians who have fought bloody battles with them for thousands of years, the Germanic tribes who have been coming and going for endless conquest, Spain and Gaul with renewed national consciousness, and the British barbarians who are dead and unyielding across the Strait.
The interior of Rome is more complex. In just a few decades, it has become a huge Christianity, the remnants of the vassals of CONSTANS I and Constantine II, and the aristocrats with heavy arms. Of course, there are those nephews of Constantius II who have always wanted to be quick, but they can't do it at all.
"I learned a famous saying of Cyrus from Cicero." Constantius II seemed to recall, said a sentence in Chinese with an awkward accent, and then repeated it in Roman: "you must settle in before you rush out."
The source of this sentence is not Lao Jiang, but Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty first mentioned it, but Zhang Zhongjing didn't say anything about the use of troops. In fact, he wrote it in the chapter of treatise on Febrile Diseases and solar diseases when he wrote treatise on febrile diseases.
In fact, treating diseases and governing the country are interlinked. Only when the most threatening part is solved first, and the body bones can be supported, can we adjust the condition well. Only when there is only one voice inside the country can we concentrate our maximum strength to resist foreign enemies. Otherwise, there is not only chaos inside, but also someone wants to overthrow himself. How can we resist foreign enemies?
"I admire the son of Siris very much." Constantius II, unlike fraud, was both envious and jealous: "he had nothing to become the master of such a great empire. He used tough means to form internal consistency. All people obeyed his orders, so that they could easily destroy those powerful external enemies."
In other words, Liu Yan seems to have really done that, but he didn't do anything to his subordinates and subordinates. In the process of his rise, what he bloody cleared were the local giants, gentry, aristocratic families and door lords who did not want to go together. They really could not be regarded as internal or external enemies.
"The cyris listen to their emperor, so the cyris not only destroy their strong enemies, but also continue to use troops." Constantius II could not hide his bad luck and unwillingness: "what am I doing? Nominally, I am the master of Rome. In fact, I can hardly decide Rome."
The truth is that none of the rulers in Roman history can really dominate Rome, whether Gaius Julius Caesar, or Septimus Seviru, or gavis Octavian Augustus, no one did what seemed easy to do in eastern empire.
Is it Zhuxia people who 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 one voice can give play to the greatest strength of a nation, resulting in the collective consciousness, which has been inherited.
History has repeatedly proved that Zhuxia did not stifle freedom, but that once there were multiple voices, Zhuxia always fell into extreme weakness and gave opportunities to other races. It has proved that the worst centralization of power is better than the so-called freedom.
Unlike the Romans, they have been used to "freedom" since ancient times. Even if there is a short central group, it is also a false central group. They grow stronger and stronger in "freedom", and naturally they will think that the "free" system is the best system.
Rome can inherit "freedom", not that there are no tough rulers who want to end "freedom", but that "freedom" is based on force. Anyone in a family with rich information can raise private soldiers. If any ruler wants to end "freedom" and welcome everyone's counterattack, the ruler should be honest unless he can sweep it on his own.
In fact, no matter this or that, only the most appropriate is the most suitable. When the same system is implemented in different nationalities, some nationalities will be extremely strong, but others are chaotic and weak.
Constantius II did not want to do it internally, but the idea of doing it was reborn and pressed down on himself. Many times in the dead of night, he made a very detailed comparison. There were 27 legions in his hands, but there were as many as 40 legions with formal establishment, not counting the private armies of those nobles.
What makes Constantius II more angry and embarrassed is that the threats in the open are not the most critical. Once they tear their faces with the nobles, ordinary Romans and citizens never choose to stand on their side.
"You need money, a lot of money." Luce Kruger Daya said the truth of the world: "the Romans now only give in to money."
There is no caste system in Rome, but having a glorious surname in Rome will add countless points. In every period of time in Rome, there were some surnames that could not be provoked. They were those who would rather offend the consul or Augustus to death, but could not provoke those surnames.
At one time in Rome, Deia belonged to that kind of unpopular surname. The dya family once ruled Rome twice, the first was the divided state of the four emperors, and the second was the supreme ruler of Rome as a whole.
Luce Kruger Daya is enjoying the shadow brought by his surname. His family has always been in the upper reaches of Roman society in order to become a Roman treasurer.
There are many positions of treasurer in Rome. Local provinces have their own treasurers, and families also have their own treasurers. However, one position is unique, that is, the treasurer of the capital. Although they are all the same treasurers, the treasurer of the capital is always in charge of the finance of the whole country. The Romans used to call it the treasurer, Luce Kruger Daya is now in such a position.
"Your association with cyris can bring you wealth." Luce Kruger Daya said very seriously, "the cyris may be hateful, but their gold is not hateful. There is no doubt that you need friendship from cyris now."
"Your Excellency the treasurer is right." Flavis Valentinianus echoed: "you really need wealth from cyris."
Later, many people agreed that even if war broke out with the Han state, what Constantius II should do at present is to obtain wealth.
We should deeply understand that no matter what historical period Rome is in, wealth is always the most important.
The dead money of the Romans has long been fixed at the moment of the birth of the election. Voters can bribe voters openly. Doesn't it mean that the ruling position of the country can be bought with money?
What frightened the Roman rulers of all times 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, and the later rebellion of the Roman Legion was not paid.
In the period of Roman officer rule, what money really did was that you could do whatever you wanted. As a result, everyone knew what serious consequences would be if you didn't have money, which made the Romans more stubborn about money.
"We can't swallow all the interests, but we can account for the vast majority of the interests, especially now." Luce Kruger Daya is not the lamb of the 'Lord'. He believes in the Olympian God system. He has not taught ji1 Du1 less before, nor will he give up teaching ji1 Du1: "if the rumor is correct in the description of the cyris people, they have been out on the stage of communication with cyris."
"It's not just basic 1, supervisor 1 and religion. There's reason to believe that those people are out." Flavis Valentinianus is also not the lamb of the 'Lord', and he did not hide his gloating: "I'm glad I believe in Poseidon now."
The Romans believed in all kinds of gods. The Valentinian anus family believed in Poseidon, which was equivalent to their family eating by the sea.
Valentinianus family is a rising star in Rome. It is really developed. That is, in the era of the joint rule of the four emperors, they made their first fortune by standing in the right team. Later, they chose the family's marine development route extremely correctly, and earned a lot of wealth by mastering a route unknown to others, This includes smuggling weapons from Rome to Great Britain and selling them to the barbarians.
Among the people summoned by Constantius II, there is no lack of the lamb of the "Lord", but only they know how pious they can be, and their faces are not so good-looking, including Constantius II himself.
Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian Christian. From Constantine I, whether competing for the throne of Augustus or sitting on the throne of Augustus, we should pretend to be pious to the "Lord".
"Julian and Ambassador Han are very close." Constantius II really didn't like Julian, but he noticed a little from Wang Meng's attitude towards Julian. If he didn't like it, he would ease the relationship: "I want Julian to stand on our side!"
