Under the reward of merit, Liu Shen became a military marquis. His command was not increased to 500, but to 1300.
Among the 1300 people, the number of riflemen is 600, the rest are cold weapons, and even 200 cavalry. The special advantages of identity can be seen at a glance.
The officers and men who did not know Liu Shen's identity did not have no opinion about Liu Shen's promotion and the irrationality of his troops. After the appeal, they got the answer that they would review, but they didn't get a positive reply for a long time, but someone would give a vague explanation afterwards. It is about Liu Shen's great importance to the military, Liu Shen's promotion will not affect other people who deserve promotion and reward.
No one's credit has been embezzled, there is no lack of promotion that should be obtained, and the distribution of booty is no less. The pimples in the hearts of those who complain are not so easy to eliminate, but no one makes trouble.
The world is an incomparable reality. There may not be any privileged class, but the privileged class should not erode the rights and interests of ordinary people too much when exercising their privileges. The society is basically willing to tolerate it.
The Han Empire did not block the rising channels of the capable. It gave ordinary people more than one way to rise. As long as the rising road was not blocked, no ordinary people were willing to rise more. If they had that Kung Fu, they might as well make great efforts to make contributions and make themselves a privileged class.
Another thing is that the Han Empire clearly put the privilege of having barons in the open. In fact, it rarely happens some shit.
Liu Shen accepted the Department, and some of his officers naturally got promoted.
For example, Xu Guang is one of those with special status because of his enough credit. After all, his Lao Tzu is the current general and the first military attache of this dynasty. He was promoted to Sima of other departments.
Sima of other departments is the adjutant of the military Marquis and a Qu military judge. To some extent, the administrative level is only one level lower than that of the military Marquis, but some authorities are larger than that of the military Marquis, such as the exercise of military law.
According to his credit and identity background, Ji Hai fought several wars, followed by the expansion of the army. In fact, it is natural for him to be promoted to chief of the army.
However, Xu Guang directly removed Ji Hai's position as chief Wu, and even used the power of Sima of other departments to settle accounts after autumn.
"Friends, this is friends!" Ji Hai was beaten down by the 20th army staff, but the meat on his ass was broken: "I didn't offend Lao Xu, and our Lao Ji family didn't provoke them. Why?"
Cai Hao was applying medicine to Ji Hai and patted Ji Hai's ass, which made Ji Hai scream, and then said, "let your mouth break. In wartime, we have to deal with it by pulling it out and killing it directly. It's because of our friends that we can bear it until now. It's quite embarrassing to only give 20 army sticks."
"My mouth is broken, but I didn't yell. It didn't affect the battle." Ji Hai is hard spoken. He knows very well that if he wasn't Ji Chang's son, he might have been killed. He wasn't shot in wartime. After autumn, he wouldn't be just a 20th army staff: "just don't read it in detail in the future..."
This group of people, I'm either a noble or a senior official, I'm an ordinary person, and I'm also from the imperial city guard. I really don't have an ordinary person in the real sense.
Their responsibility is not to kill many enemies on the battlefield. In fact, it is to ensure Liu Shen's safety as the primary task, which can also be said to be the only task.
It may be hard to say, but the fact is that the command team of anxidu escort would rather bury all the soldiers than Liu Shen die on the battlefield.
Another thing is that some people in anxidu Prefecture want Liu Shen to have more fun. They hope to serve this "little young master" and pave the way for their future.
They treat Liu Shen with impure thoughts, which is inevitable. No one will really ignore Liu Shen's identity and will not let Liu Shen leave an impression.
In fact, it is a brain problem to really regard Liu Shen as an ordinary talent, and it is a big problem that he has been caught by the door repeatedly.
"Do the Romans cooperate?" Looking at the list, Liu Shen mainly remembered the names and some characteristics of his officers: "it is necessary to reorganize after breaking up. Don't make any trouble."
Xu Guang was also looking at the list, but he was looking at the Romans and said, "there are 306 Romans, 167 from the traditional aristocracy, 321 from the parliament, and the rest are citizens from Asia Minor."
There was aristocracy in Rome, but there was no division of the titles of the aristocracy. Their so-called traditional aristocracy is generally the family. After several generations of management, they are recognized as the aristocracy for at least two generations.
In fact, the parliament is the Senate, and the members of the Roman Senate are aristocrats, but most of the members belong to the new aristocrats. They are aristocrats compared with the traditional aristocrats who have operated for several generations, but there is a difference between the old and the new.
"Rome's East and West are autonomous. What their Augustus can really command is those in the East. Western nobles don't buy Augustus much." Liu Shen knows a lot about Rome, mainly because Liu Yan has been telling him to broaden his horizons: "the group of Romans who mix their eastern and western people and tilt their treatment to the West."
Xu Guang is already doing that.
Rome has its own contradictions between the East and the west, which must be used, and even create contradictions for them, so that the Romans can not achieve sincere unity.
"They are generally very cooperative..." Xu Guang frowned and continued, "what makes me wonder is that they are too cooperative."
The Romans took the initiative to accept the request to hire to fight for the Han Empire. Whether they know Rome or not, it will certainly cause confusion and doubt.
As a city protector, Li Kuangzheng needs to improve his reputation. It is a must to selectively select a group of people for publicity.
In addition, the national war belongs to the national war, but the decisive place is not just on the battlefield.
This time, even if the Romans did not take the initiative to take refuge, Li Kuang would create some things. Either he made an article about the Romans or the Persians, trying to disintegrate the anti Han axis, or he could not disintegrate and let them have a dirty life.
Li Kuang personally met with Pallas, talked and observed, and was noncommittal about some of Pallas's explanations. In fact, he was also skeptical about the "enthusiasm" of the Romans. Otherwise, he would not increase Liu Shen's direct troops, and even arranged 3000 troops to pay attention to Liu Shen's situation at any time.
"It's too cooperative." Liu Shen knew that the Romans had a tradition of working for their people with their money. In short, the integrity of the army did not exist since the chaos of officers in Rome. He smiled and said, "what should be paid attention to is to pay attention, but don't ruin the good situation because of doubt."
Xu Guang promised, but he made up his mind to keep an eye on the Romans all the time.
Anxi Du's guard house incorporated the Romans, certainly not in the mode of employment, not even a copper coin.
Song Ping, as the head of anxidu Prefecture, replied to the Roman nobles that they needed to make atonement for the Han Empire and wait for their sins to be redeemed before putting employment on the agenda.
Those Roman nobles were not too arrogant. After asking for the treatment that the nobles should get, they didn't quarrel or make trouble. Instead, they helped the Han Empire explain to ordinary Roman citizens.
More than 3000 Romans were able to settle down, and the result of the discussion of anxidu's Protectorate was that the Roman nobles were very knowledgeable.
"I'm a little confused." Xu Guang really couldn't understand: "since Rome doesn't think it's a good option to be an enemy with the Han Dynasty, how can it take the lead with the Persians to form an anti Han axis? They are one of the two giants of that axis. It's unreasonable to have such behavior immediately after a defeat. What's Rome's national credibility if you do that?"
Liu Shen had thought, but he didn't want to understand what the Romans were doing.
If Rome does not want to be hostile to the Han Empire, and considering the fact that Rome is far to the west of the world island, even if the Han Empire wants to go to war with Rome, it will not pay off. Even if the Han Army on the expedition can defeat the Romans in some areas, can it really occupy the land?
How much strength should the Han Empire use to defend the enclaves that are tens of thousands of miles away and are absolutely vulnerable? How much state money should be spent every year and how many soldiers' lives should be consumed in the enclave is obviously an extremely irrational act.
It is reasonable to say that Rome should not become the two giants of the anti Han axis so blatantly. Even if the Romans believe that the Han Empire is a threat and that the Han Empire will destroy Rome one day, their wisest approach should be to secretly support the anti Han axis dominated by Persians.
Rome secretly supported the anti Han axis dominated by the Persians. The Han Empire fell into the current situation that the whole world was enemy. It is likely that the Han Empire knew that the Romans were making small moves behind their backs, but as long as the Han Empire is a rational country, it should turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to avoid the Romans entering in person.
The problem is that the Romans can't wait to enter. They send troops to fight the Han Army in the East. After the failure, they don't have any integrity at all?
"Is it possible that they are worried about being killed by all the big men, so they are willing to serve?" Liu Shen thought about it. It seems that this is the only explanation? He said: "when the Han Dynasty established the country, it was necessary to kill the captured people in the early stage. In the battle of the grassland behind, there were many large-scale pit killings..."
Xu Guang didn't know how to respond.
Yes, the Han Empire has a black history of killing prisoners more than once. In particular, it almost killed more than 1.5 million races, leaving only a person with a special identity as an exhibit.
If the Han people only exterminated the Jie nationality, the enemy aggressor who wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, all countries would still think that the Han people were taking revenge and complaining. The key is that the Han people exterminated not only the Jie nationality, but also the Xianbei, Qiang and Peninsula nationalities.
Even the Han people ran across the sea to the a San continent, showing that whoever provoked me must kill him.
Who is so afraid of such Han people? Especially the Han people really have the strength to destroy the world.
"I asked some new and old Roman nobles." Xu Guang didn't know whether to smile bitterly: "they said that the reason why they fought with the big man was that the big man was too overbearing. Rome suffered a humiliation that had never been seen in thousands of years, and was not defeated and ceded on the battlefield."
Liu Shen really knew how many ports and inland territories the Han Empire asked Rome to lease. From the perspective of the Romans, it was really oppressive.
"Bossasan was frightened by the big man's previous killing into hunit." Xu Guang really smiled bitterly this time: "maybe it's not just the battle of hunit. The big man has completely eliminated the threats other than the West. Looking up, the only direction that can expand is to the West. The big man is a country without endless ambition in the eyes of the Persians. He believes that as long as he solves hunit and xigaoche, the big man will fight against them."
Liu shensec understood that what he sent out was not a bitter smile, but a proud smile from his heart.
"This is not..." Xu Guang is still willing to analyze the situation without Liu Shen. Why did it cause the current situation: "Han has just decided to stop using troops abroad and concentrate on developing at home. The reform of the army has also been put on the agenda. He plans to change and reform all standing armies into firearm divisions in five to seven years."
"So they think it's better to start first than to solve the internal problems with big men like him?" That's Liu Shen's understanding. He subconsciously touched the pistol around his waist and continued: "in addition, they know the power of firearms. They have always wanted to get firearms without success. They are afraid that the Han army will use firearms in an all-round way. They can only start first."
"Your Highness is right." Xu Guang was not surprised at Liu Shen's intelligence: "now the big man just uses more than 13000 firearms and directly hits the other 200000 coalition forces on the front battlefield. It can be seen that they are still very prescient."
"You can't say that..." Liu Shen's pride on his face deepened a little, not modest, and said: "more than 200000 coalition troops, the Roman Legion is only about 5000, the eastern administrative force of Persia is less than 70000, and the rest are miscellaneous soldiers of all ethnic groups."
Xu Guang has his own views on the military. He knows exactly what the coalition army is. The more powerful the coalition army is, the more chaotic the command system will be, and the residual quality of soldiers is uneven. It just seems that there are a lot of people, but in fact there are only a lot of people.
"If the subsequent reinforcements follow up, we will invade hunit." Liu Shen has his own minimum judgment: "after this disastrous defeat again, it is completely impossible for the hunites to stop us. Soon the front will advance to the Sassanian border."
"Next is the marching state." What Xu Guang wants to say is: "Your Highness has to be cautious about restraining and supervising Roman slave soldiers."
"Call me the marquis." Liu Shen likes the identity of junhou very much, and thinks that the junhou is in exchange for merit: "you are another Sima, and you have to worry more."
Xu Guang naturally accepted it and promised that he would keep an eye on the Romans.
