"It's okay to be uncomfortable. War is also a way to quickly bridge national conflicts. Nothing can eliminate internal conflicts better than friendship on the battlefield." Jia Xu said with great solemnity.
"On the other hand, war is also the easiest way to explode internal conflicts." Liu Ye glanced at Jia Xu, rolled his eyes and said.
"Of course, the situation Ziyang mentioned is the kind where everyone is thinking about fighting for power and profit. The current situation of the Yuan family will not develop into that situation at all." Jia Xu glanced at Liu Ye and said, "Slavs are not Resisting the culture and assimilation of the Han Dynasty, they were satisfied with the days of drinking and eating."
More than just satisfied, after drinking tons and tons of wine, the Slavs expressed that they would dare to be tough even if the Roman emperor came, let alone the Romans.
For these Slavs who had no cultural heritage and were willing to fight, becoming a member of the Han Dynasty was completely acceptable.
Although the former Slavs wanted to become a member of Rome, the Roman citizens were so noble that they were completely disdainful of accepting the Slavs. Of course, it was not that they did not accept it at all. On the contrary, the Romans were also satisfied with the strong fighting power of the Slavs.
In addition, the Slavs and the Romans did not have any mortal hatred, and their combat effectiveness was quite good. The Romans said that it was not impossible to accept the Slavs.
The problem is that the Slavs are too large. Even though there are many Romans, there are only six million real citizens. Six million citizens have to take over a fighting barbarian with a population of three million. The pressure on Rome is really too great. .
What's more important is that the welfare of Roman citizens is really too great. Three million more people would mean more than 20 million more people to support. The Romans really couldn't afford to support them.
Therefore, the suggestion of the Romans at that time was that if you Slavs are willing to join, yes, we Rome are also willing to accept you Slavs. We in Rome can even give you a face, like the Scythians, give you an eagle flag and establish a Eagle Banner Regiment.
To be honest, this is already a great honor. Think about it, Scythian and Macedonian barbarians only occupied the same Eagle Flag designation. The Romans gave the Slavs a designation, and they already looked up to the Slavs very much.
Of course, having said that, after the Scythians and Macedonians occupied the fourth Eagle Banner, their own tribes were gradually exhausted. Everyone sharpened their heads and wanted to join the Eagle Banner Corps, become citizens, and became Eagle Banner The soldiers of the legion worked hard to suppress the others.
Throughout history, the two Japs are always more ruthless than the Japs. After so many years, the Scythian Legion and the Macedonian Legion have completely become Roman legions. Although they still have the same numbers as before, in fact, they are no longer the same as the Barbarians. No relationship at all.
Although the Slavs also wanted to become Roman citizens, the quota of 20,000 was not enough, so the Slavic patriarch thought, forget it, we should just continue to be barbarians.
After all, before the sixth century, the Slavs, a nation that generally used stone tools, were indeed united. Later, due to the treacherous tricks of Byzantium, the country was founded and divided, and the once united Slavs completely became the most disunited nation.
However, this incident left a deep impression on the Slavs. Speaking of which, the Yuan family was able to pick up a Slav partly because of Rome.
For the Slavs, they can either vote together, as long as they live a better life than they are now, or they can simply not vote. Rome only gives 20,000 people a quota, which is a bit too much, and only giving one eagle flag is a bit despising. We Slavs, we have three legions after all.
They broke up like this on bad terms, but the envy was still there. After all, the earth-eating people were certainly envious when they saw Roman citizens eating meat, and then at this time the Han Dynasty came.
The Slavs took a look and saw that they were educated, powerful, and similar to the Romans, and they were willing to take over all of us. What else could they say? They voted.
After I voted in, I found that there was wine to drink and food to eat. Although it was not as good as the Roman citizens, but it was a few streets away from fishing and hunting in Eastern Europe. This boss is good, just follow him, and I don’t expect Rome anymore. Rome is rubbish, your uncle. Yes, there is a quota of 20,000 people. Are you human?
Therefore, the Slavs said that there would be no problem in attacking Rome. Anyway, they had been in constant friction with Rome. Either Tanmen would be beheaded or Rome would be beheaded. What was there to be afraid of? After hearing their news, the Slavs laughed. In the past, I could only form three groups if I didn't have enough to eat, but now I can't do it!
It can be said that the Slavs from the Yuan family signed up enthusiastically. They don't need training anyway, and their physical fitness is absolutely up to standard. Even if their organizational skills are a mess, they don't need to wear armor. They wrap their bodies in the ancestral bearskin and give each person an ax. This is their combat effectiveness. guarantee.
Under this situation, Jia Xu thought that unless the Yuan family was too obviously mentally retarded, the Slavs would definitely share the same hatred as the Yuan family and join forces to decimate the Romans.
"I just don't know if the Yuan family can withstand it." Liu Bei sighed. If Yuan Shao was on the other side, with the current size of the troops, Liu Bei thought that it might be difficult to fight back, but there would be no problem in resisting, and Rome could still be guaranteed. Every step is a bloody footprint.
It's a pity that Yuan Shaoliang has been in power for so many years, and Yuan Tan has firmly established himself as the head of the Yuan family. It is up to Yuan Tan to find a way for the next war. Whether he can withstand it depends on Yuan Tan's methods. No matter how you look at it, Rome is not easy to deal with.
"It's not a big problem." Chen Xi said confidently, "Although Rome sent many elites, we still have a lot of strength hoarded there. What's more, this kind of war is full of the Romans' intention to shed blood on the barbarians. I'm afraid the Romans They don’t want to end the war quickly.”
"Isn't this right? If even a Yuan family has such a hard time, the Roman Senate will be questioned." Liu Ye put himself in his shoes and couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
"Will the Senate be overthrown if it is questioned?" Chen Xi asked casually.
"Absolutely not." Liu Ye shook his head and said. By now, Liu Ye has almost understood what kind of organization the Roman Senate is. Overthrowing that kind of thing is no different from overthrowing an empire. It can be said that they themselves are members of the empire. Public opinion is the destiny of the empire.
"Then what else are there to be afraid of? If the war fails, the seats under their butts are more important?" Chen Xi said with a sneer. The Romans' current situation clearly showed that they wanted to kill people with a borrowed knife.
"Since their interests will not be harmed, the victory or defeat of this war is just a war of words for them, and the situation has reached this point. The participation of the Duke of Rome's northern border counties in this battle is simply surrender." Jia Xushen Zai looked out the window and said.
Albinus, the Duke of Rome's northern border county, was also helpless. He was clearly a big boss who could compete with Severus, but in the end, the Han Dynasty entered the scene first, and let the dog Ganassis vote for Severus and let him and Pesinius Nigel was very passive.
However, they were passive, but they did not have no room for resistance at that time. Severus conquered Parthia. If the ship capsized, they would have the hope of making waves again. However, the subsequent development completely exceeded Albinus's expectations. Severus pushed aside Parthia, defeating this centuries-old enemy and ending the feud that had existed since the time of Caesar.
If this was the case, Albinus would have given up at best and would not have been as humble and petty as he is now, doing whatever Severus said.
No way, who made Caesar come out? Caesar came out to crown Severus, recognized that Severus had inherited the legacy of the first dictator, and twice made the Claudius family a loose collection, and once again owned It has the fighting power that only the largest family in Rome has.
Then there is nothing to say. Peisinius Nigel and Albinus, who were still fighting against Severus for the emperor before, are gone. Everyone in Rome knows what the Claudius family is. The imperial system officially began with this family.
Nero was able to ascend to the throne as Roman Emperor for one reason. He was the only direct descendant of the Claudius family at that time. The reason for the collapse of the Claudius dynasty of Julia was because this family had no direct descendants, and the rest were all branches. How do you play this?
Up to now, this family has penetrated into every aspect of this country. To put it too much, Albinus’ full name has the surname Claudius. To put it simply, the so-called Duke of the Northern Border County is actually named Claudius. Alnubis.
This is why Trajan's legion was finished. The reserve elite did not form a legion to inherit the second Trajan, and then continued to work hard and wait for new opportunities.
On the contrary, Thirteen Roses was finished. Someone went directly to Severus, the Treasurer, and the Senate. Even if the eagle flag could not be produced, Thirteen Roses' reserve troops were retained and the Second Auxiliary Legion was eliminated. Waiting for the opportunity to re-establish the Eagle Flag Legion.
Because in terms of significance, the weight of Trajan, one of the Five Wise Emperors, is not to mention comparable to that of the Julia-Claudius dynasty, but it is comparable to the idle alliances of the Claudius family. There is a gap between them. This family needs to be compared. In other words, it is equivalent to the Ji surname in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the sect has restrictions on other branches, which is equivalent to a Zhou Dynasty bringing a group of younger brothers.
But then the direct lineage disappeared, and the younger brothers of each family fell into one group. But now that the big boss who founded the sect has been resurrected, of course the family is prospering again.
This is also the reason why Arnubis directly voted for Severus. Whose name has Claudius in it? It’s good to get closer, but it’s too close. Now the Claudius family listens to Caesar He voted for Severus, and Albinus had no choice but to vote.
This is why Albinus took it even though he knew that this mission was not a good one.
