According to Roman estimates, among the more than 40 million barbarians, a rough screening should be able to screen out 400,000 barbarians with one talent.
In fact, for Rome, the biggest problem is actually the 400,000-talented barbarian army that is very likely to be born proportionally.
Different from the requirements for dual talents, the core requirement for one talent is quality. The quality must meet the standard. As long as the will is not distorted by external forces and is relatively active, achievements can be made. At most, it is just a matter of the strength of the talent. Generally speaking, the conventional concept The difference in talent strength is not big.
Of course, this refers to the regular talent one. Some guys who take the extreme route or the talent combination route cannot be counted among them at all.
It can be said that the existence of these people is a hidden danger to the Roman Empire. Although Rome is powerful enough to suppress these 400,000 talents, if it really comes to that, even if Rome can win in a fight, it will not be a favor. After all, talents can be achieved. It means getting started.
There is a big gap between two talents and one talent, but with a scale of 400,000, it is extremely troublesome even if it is thrown into the imperial battlefield. The simplest one is that one of Beigui's millions of soldiers can have one talent. It can't be half the problem.
You must know that this is the overall situation that the wise men of Beigui spent a hundred years laying out. Even if it is limited by the population size, it is theoretically combined with the six or seven dual talents of Beigui Ming, plus the royal guards and military souls. Able to overthrow Nangui and establish a complete empire's military power.
Naturally, this kind of threat that is not completely controlled by the Roman military system and is outside the system is an object that must be eliminated in the eyes of Roman wise men like Pompianus.
After all, it's not a good idea for Rome to clean it up on its own. Leaving it there will cause trouble. It's better to throw out bait to lure those guys out, and then give them to those who need them, consume them on the battlefield, and get a tenth of the money back. Oh, It's best not to come back...
If the war death pension can be collected in advance, Pompianus really doesn't mind letting Vesutiva I settle the pension in advance. Rome will not have to worry about whether they live or die by then, even if those people are in Kushan The rebellion has nothing to do with Rome. After-sales service and so on. Sorry, the Roman Empire only collects money and has no after-sales service.
In short, after thinking about it, Pompianus released a bait and lured a large number of European barbarians to take the bait. There is no doubt that these barbarians who want to become Roman citizens and believe in their own strength to become Roman citizens belong to the Roman Empire. Hidden danger.
After all, the Roman Empire did not have so many vacant citizen positions. It may be too much to say that it is a carrot and a pit, but it is true that the annual quota is very small.
Hundreds of thousands of barbarians who can become a talented person want to become citizens. If they are not given a chance, it will be troublesome if there is an unrest. Call them all together and put them under the nose, under the watch of the Tenth Knight Legion. Then It can be said that it was the temptation of hope and the deterrence of force. In short, after nine months of training, Rome finally jumped out of all the hidden dangers.
However, there was an error in the early estimate of 400,000. In short, Perennis only produced 300,000. This was because many of them had been on the Parthian battlefield. Although they did not obtain enough military exploits, they at least had some combat experience. See Too much blood.
The remaining unqualified ones were all eliminated. They had no combat effectiveness and would not cause hidden dangers. They stayed in the country and worked hard to support the Roman citizens.
Think about it, why do citizens eat well and live well, and each of them is equivalent to a small landowner? Isn't it because there are so many European barbarians working for them?
The ratio of citizens to barbarians is now as high as about one to seven. Coupled with the national economy and policy control, it is really equivalent to having a dozen people working hard to support you anytime, anywhere. In this case, how can citizens survive? Not good?
In the same way, in this case, how can Rome expand the number of citizens? How can citizens enjoy such high welfare without a dozen people working hard to support each citizen.
The simplest analogy is that of the small countries in Western Europe, one has better welfare than the other, but the premise is that the population is small enough and the industrial gap is large enough. If it were China, I am afraid that it would really have to conquer the entire world in order to obtain so many benefits to maintain. Such high benefits.
In the Roman Empire, after the contrast between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, smart people have actually reacted. The question is, do they dare to touch the privileges, benefits and preferential treatment of Roman citizens? To take a step back, remember what the real title of the Roman emperor was - the First Citizen of Rome. There were two sets of laws in Rome, one was called Roman Civil Law, and the other was called Roman Civil Law.
The reality is so cruel, and this is why Herodian and his group had a big headache after discovering the problems in the Roman system, because they could not solve them at all.
In Rome, big figures like the quaestor, especially a god like Pompianus, could affect the interests of many people, but to affect the interests of all citizens was to seek death.
The collapse of the Roman Empire in official history began when Caracalla committed suicide. Giving everyone the status of Roman citizens directly caused the foundation of the Roman Empire to collapse. Pompianus was not that short-sighted, but even so, faced with this All we can do is stare blankly at such an unsolvable problem.
solve? There are seven senators who know about this matter so far, all of them are Ulpian, Papinian, Pompianus, Herodian and other gods who have considerable influence in history. However, there are no ghosts. Yes, as long as some things are opened, unless someone makes a ruthless revolution, other solutions are basically a dream.
After all, this kind of thing is already related to productivity and production relations. Even if Chen Xi is replaced by Pompianus, he can only delay it by extending his life. As for the solution, there is really no way to solve it. The only solution is to wait for the social revolution.
Although Pompianus did not understand this, the instinct to survive still existed. Although the system could no longer be solved, even the previous crude plan of reducing households and annihilating households could not be used. After all, the Roman citizen system was destined to be wiped out in large numbers. Barbarians will also cause turmoil in the civil system, which will directly affect the entire system.
In this way, Pompianus could only pinch his nose and accept his fate, choosing to kill the most combative among the barbarians, plus the group of people who most wanted to join Roman citizens.
This group of people are capable and believe that they can do it. They are a group of people who may actually overthrow the Roman system because of its unfairness. If the Roman civil system was not a semi-locked system, Pompianus would definitely I happily accept the joining of these people, but unfortunately the space is limited and cannot accommodate them, so I have to deal with them.
As for the group of barbarians who have no ability and can only beep, Pompianus doesn't care at all. There are many such barbarians, but they are not capable enough. They can dance very happily and can become the focus of many barbarians. When they really When the people's hearts are about to be won, Pompianus can stand up and directly address the citizens' demands.
As expected, the result is to kill them directly. After all, I lack the ability. I can only beep, attract the attention of other barbarians, and at the same time hide the real problems. By the way, I can also pull out the sacrificial flag when necessary. After all, I am really capable. Either it is absorbed, or there is no chance to jump.
The operation of the Roman Empire was so simple and crude. They collected the internal hidden dangers and communicated with Kushan again. After confirming that the price was suitable, the Romans said that they could send it to the Red Sea, and Kushan took it away by himself. Vesutiva I Bian thought and agreed to the proposal again and again.
Although there are not many local ships anymore, there are still some when squeezed. After all, it is an empire, and it will not have these things.
After finalizing this article, the Roman Senate, with the encouragement of several big bosses, threw out all 300,000 barbarians without saying a word, saying that these are all talented people. Since you and I have signed a strategic alliance, it is a one-price deal. , a down payment of 30 million small silver coins, these are all yours.
After determining the scale, the Kushan envoy decisively rejected the proposal of the Roman Senate and stated righteously that he could only eat one hundred thousand at most.
For Guishang, this is no longer a matter of money and food, this is a fatal rhythm!
Three hundred thousand talents arrived in Kushan from Rome. Before he could understand what Rome was thinking, he borrowed the courage of Vesutiva I, but he didn’t dare to take it. He was not a fool. Three hundred thousand talents arrived in Rome. If he had evil intentions, Guishang might die suddenly on the spot.
A talent army of 300,000 people appears directly in the hinterland. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to kill the empire. But when the empire itself is attacked by another empire, it might be in trouble. Think about it, just Nan Gui If 300,000 Roman elites appear on the coastline, they will destroy the country.
The purpose of borrowing troops is to deepen the friendship between the two parties and add some cannon fodder to make up the number, but if hundreds of thousands of elites really come, haha!
Even when the Kushan envoys heard about the scale of three hundred thousand, their first reaction was that Rome would not want to cooperate with the Han Dynasty to kill the Kushans.
Under such circumstances, how could the Kushan envoy dare to take over such a hot potato? He decisively stated that the maximum would be 100,000 yuan and not one more person. For this reason, Pompianus was quite sorry. After the crowd was pulled away, Pompianus also realized that he had been a little negligent, but he still felt that the country of Kushan was not grand enough!
By the way, even if Kushan didn't want the remaining 200,000 barbarian troops, Pompianus still shamelessly accepted Kushan's 30 million deposit, saying that he could come anytime if needed.
For Pompianus, the loss of 100,000 barbarians was too little. They now have more than 40 million barbarians in Rome. Killing 100,000 barbarians who can fight cannot solve the problem at all. At least this group must be eliminated. Eighty percent of the barbarians who can be beaten will die, which is 320,000!
