Chapter 936

The civil war of the Constantine family brought the Roman Empire into a critical period. Even if Constantius unified Rome again, even if the unification of Rome has always been a form, this time is really quite different.

Before Rome, whether it was a republic or an empire, whether it was called a consul or Augustus, Rome was never a centralized system, but a form of CO governance.

The political ecology of Rome is doomed to one thing. The supreme ruler has never had the space and opportunity to make arbitrary decisions, that is, the most powerful Octavian still can't decide the local family, let alone the other Roman rulers.

The situation of CO governance has not changed in Rome, but local families will try their best to cooperate with Roman policy, which is based on the righteous reputation of the current Augustus (consul).

"It's probably like the time of the emperor of Zhou." When Wang Meng was in Constantinople, he borrowed a lot of books and studied the history of Rome: "it's just that the Qin Dynasty was not the only family to continue the rule, they just didn't change the name of the country."

Cai Youlue wondered, "why don't they change the name of the country?"

Wang Meng can't answer this question.

"They have gone through a variety of regimes, including republican system, patriarchal system, religious 1 system, king system and imperial system. They have tried almost all of them." Wang Meng has been able to roughly understand the systems with different names and explained: "in fact, the core has not changed, and the central government can not fully lead the local government."

"It should be messy." Xie AI had no time to understand Rome for the time being, and guessed: "every period will be chaotic once?"

Wang Meng nodded and said, "the cycle is about 30 to 50 years, and the families ruling Daqin will change. Each time is a dynasty change. Sometimes there will be co governance, which is divided into peaceful co governance and conflict co governance, which is different from us."

In the earliest period, Rome had a period of four emperors' co governance, which was a civil war period that could be described as "catastrophe" for Rome. If there were not the era of "five sages" in Rome, Rome would probably have died in the general outbreak of Germanic, Celtic and Slavic.

Later, there was another stage of "co governance of the four emperors" in Rome, which was clearly divided into two parts with the early "co governance of the four emperors".

From about 270a.d. at the end of the Illyrian Dynasty to about 310a.d., Rome did not appear quiet.

During the period from about 280a.d. to about 305a.d., the co governance of the four emperors appeared in the East and west of Rome, which is equivalent to the existence of eight people claiming to be Augustus in the whole territory of Rome. It can be imagined how chaotic it was.

Constantine I ended the co governance of Rome's four emperors and made Rome usher in glory again. The key is that the good scenery is not long. The rise of families once again has divided Rome. Waiting for him to solve those opponents once again and become the only Augustus, it is because of the hesitation of successors that Rome ushered in a "family style" civil war.

If we take into account the period of officer chaos and the illinian Dynasty, which did little, Constantius has at least kept Rome relatively stable until now. Rome has been in constant scuffle and civil strife for a full 102 years.

"So long!?" Cai you was obviously shocked: "after a hundred years of civil war, there was no subjugation?"

Xie AI was thinking about the extent to which the aliens around Rome should be garbage. Zhuxia was only a civil strife for 40 or 50 years. Waiting for the aliens around to make efforts, they almost came to extinction.

"It's strange to be fierce." When Wang Meng went to Rome, he didn't forget to observe. What he saw and heard was that the slaves in Rome were very comfortable. What was around Rome, he didn't have the opportunity to observe: "the Germanic people have made some achievements, and the other nationalities... Don't seem to see the Daqin people in trouble?"

Xie AI concluded, "they are really lucky."

Cai you deeply believes in Xie AI's statement. If the foreign races around Rome were replaced by those of Zhuxia, he can be sure that the Romans would have been cold long ago.

The Eastern Han Dynasty collapsed in A.D. 220. It lasted 46 years for the princes to fight disorderly and stand side by side with the Three Kingdoms before Sima came to the "unification of the Three Kingdoms".

In 46 years, the Han people from the peak of 56 million people, waiting for the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were only 5.37 million people left when the census was conducted.

The chaos in Rome lasted more than a hundred years. Although there was a respite time for the Illyrian Dynasty, it was unbearable that the Illyrian dynasty did not end the chaos. Later, it was a dog's brain. It was hard to calculate how many people died. In fact, the Constantine family did not know how many people there were in Rome.

From some vague historical data, it is speculated that in the early days of Constantius' rule of Rome, the Roman population should be less than 12 million?

"You mentioned before..." Cai you thought carefully before continuing: "the population under the territory of the Qin Dynasty will not be less than 60 million."

"Meng is counting the nations other than the Romans." Wang Meng's guess is that there will be no less than 10 million people under Roman rule, 60 million or less. He cited several places, especially: "Egypt alone has a population of nearly 30 million, and Europe will not be less than 20 million."

Xie AI seemed to understand something and blurted out: "no wonder!"

"Last time some Germans came to the big man." Cai you really didn't remember the country's name very clearly. He repeatedly determined it several times: "frank, Burgundy, Alemanni?"

Wang Meng said that Cai you had a good memory and said the country name correctly.

For Han people, it's really bad that waiguoren likes to take a smelly and long name. It's necessary to reverse this.

"After the Yongjia rebellion, we experienced a large number of northerners moving south, and there was also population migration in Daqin." Wang Meng looked out of the window and took back his sight before continuing: "the political focus of the Daqin people moved eastward during Constantine I. a large number of Daqin people also moved eastward from Spain, Gaul, Saxony and Celtic regions, resulting in the decline of the population of Daqin in some parts of Europe."

Cai you and Xie AI looked at each other. They suddenly felt very strange. It is clear that Rome is so far away from Zhuxia. Why are some things so similar, and even the time nodes are almost the same?

Which nationality does a piece of land belong to and whether it can be protected depends on the national strength. If there are no people in that piece of land when the national strength decreases, a large number of other nationalities migrate in the past, and the state does not take any action to recover it by force, there will be disputes over that piece of land over time.

A large number of Romans migrated from, and a large number of Germanic people filled the gap. Belgium, Luxembourg and Eastern Gaul, which originally belonged to Rome, were established one after another.

"The three Germanic countries were not established during the reign of Constantius. In fact, most of magnentius's troops fought with Constantius, resulting in a military vacuum in that area." Wang Meng looked out of the window again. Cai you and Xie AI looked at his actions: "only frank, Burgundy and Alemanni were established."

Constantius, the current Augustus of Rome, did not want to solve the problem in the past, but when he learned the actual situation, he fell into a state of hesitation. The reason is that too many families in Europe do not obey his rule at all. He originally wanted to use the righteous name to let those families in Europe destroy frank, Burgundy and almani, However, it turned out to be counterproductive. Instead, it ended the friction between those families and frank, Burgundy and Alemanni and entered the stage of allies without publicizing the covenant.

The last time frank, Burgundy and Alemanni were able to make an envoy to the Han Empire was when a considerable number of families contributed. The power gathered by these families made Constantius extremely afraid. Unless Constantius wanted a war between Asia Minor and Europe, he had to choose to bear it.

The location of the three people is a side hall teahouse, outside of which is naturally the atrium square.

It is rare for them to get together for tea. Liu Yan invited several important officials, especially Helena, to explain Roman history.

Liu Yan has multiple intentions to do this, broaden the horizons of several officials and let them really understand what Rome looks like. Don't naively think that Rome is a system of all ages and there are dynasty changes. The difference is that the Romans have always adopted the national name of "Rome".

"It is said that the Shangshu order should learn from the great Qin Dynasty to deal with internal affairs?" Xie AI also pointed out one of the reasons why Liu Yan wanted several important officials to understand Rome: "if you don't really understand Daqin..., you don't say anything later, because you think sang Yu will be ashamed.

Let Helena tell the history of Rome. Liu Yan didn't do it properly. Except Helena, Liu Yan really doesn't have a suitable candidate. It can't be Julian or anyone, right?

"Ai thinks that man is a little too active." Xie AI was a servant. He didn't go beyond this: "it's too quiet to make (Helena)."

The servant is not only a state official, but also a close Minister of the emperor. He can intervene in government affairs and the emperor's family affairs, but a smart servant will not easily intervene in the emperor's family affairs.

"Just a woman." Cai you had higher status and older qualifications than Xie AI and Wang Meng in any aspect before. Although they are all attendants now, they still have high and low points: "a woman of a big man can be an official, but she is not a woman of a Han."

As long as Helena did not suddenly become a minister of the Han Empire, even if she became one of the concubines of the harem, unless Liu Yan was bewitched, she could not intervene in state affairs at all.

They have some understanding of Liu Yan. They think that Liu Yan is not controlled by a woman at all. It is speculated that Liu Yan must have a reason for doing so. It is very likely that he is planning for Rome.

"Compared with the people of Daqin..." Cai you dragged an end before continuing to say: "the Persians are closer to us."

"So now the most populous country is sassanne!" Xie AI put down the tea in his hand and said faintly, "the population under the rule of Shapur II will not be less than 80 million!"

That comes from a series of relevant statistics. 80 million doesn't all refer to Persians. Persians should only account for about 38 million. The rest are Arabs, Egyptians, Syria, Iraq... No less than 20 ethnic groups, and the number of Arabs is the largest.

Xie AI has always been very concerned about the west of the big man, which has a lot to do with his birth in the northwest.

Now a large number of northwest people are pouring into the western regions. It is also necessary to immigrate to the western regions for a long time in the future. Those who have already poured into the western regions will certainly be dredged and settled.

The western regions are still very chaotic. The hunit people have already intervened. Xie an fought with them several times before he came back and cut off the hand extended by the hunit people. However, due to the change of national policy, he just killed in the warning and did not break out into a national war.

"There are also obvious internal contradictions in Sasan." Wang Meng said something he had seen with his own eyes, and then summarized: "although some people in the Qin Dynasty provoked obstacles, it can also be imagined that the contradiction broke out at a sharp moment."

Wang Meng didn't just travel to bossasan. He didn't have much chance before. In the back, he accidentally lost several boxes of gold with the idea that it would be no harm to prepare more. It seems that he was found by the Arab leader called Ibn or something?

In fact, General Wang Meng remembered his name very clearly. There was nothing wrong with his name being Ibn. There were two people, one named Ibn Abdul, the other is Ibn Rahman. He also knew that not long after he left, the Arabs there became very active.

"Big men don't lack gold." Cai you knew what Wang Meng had done before. He appreciated Wang Meng's behavior very much: "he has been continuing JINGLUE's practice."

Wang Meng smiled implicitly, but said, "Your Majesty seems to have a bad impression of Arabs?"

If you want to make bossasan more chaotic, supporting Arabs seems to be the right thing to do.

The Romans had been supporting the Arabs before, but the Romans used more mouth guns and couldn't bring out too practical things.

At present, the Han Empire has put too much pressure on Rome and sassanne, and the relations between the two countries have eased down again and again. The Romans simply quit their gun business to the Arabs. There is a great trend that two millennium enemies want to go to Colombia and Colombia.

"Their fear is inevitable." Cai you said happily, "it's just that the hatred of thousands of years can be easily eliminated."

Xie AI then said, "unless the big man invades immediately."

Cai Youxi said, "yes."

Wang Meng thinks so too. Rome and sassanne are the most nervous time now. That's because the Han Empire appears too abrupt. As long as there is a period of time as a buffer, the Han Empire does not show an obvious desire to attack. The two countries will fall in love and kill each other again.

The Han people's financial support for the Arab people's 1 race, 1 resistance, 1 movement really made Liu Yan hesitate for a time, but he knew that the Arabs did replace the Persians.

What else do you say? Amerikan supports Arabs, which is a "lesson" for Liu Yan!
