Chapter 1080: Summary
'Whoosh! A sharp arrow burst through the air and burrowed into the green grass like lightning, knocking a rabbit running to the ground in an instant.
"Good archery!" A compliment rang out all around Gao Yang. A large group of generals loudly expressed their admiration for Gao Yang's archery technique.
Gao Yang put away his bow and arrows with a smile on his face, and thanked the flattery and flattery of the generals around him. Gao Yang, who has experienced strong winds and waves, naturally doesn't care about these things. What hasn't he seen in all these years?
It was a hunting ground on the outskirts of Rome. It was also the spring of the second year after the capture of Rome. Gao Yang, who had just returned to Rome City from modern time and space, took a large group of generals out hunting and recreation as soon as he returned, obviously in high spirits and in a very good mood. It's as if something good has happened.
After seeing Gao Yang's unfathomable magical power, the generals of the Han army have become accustomed to his disappearance and appearance. Just do what he commands.
"Mengde." Gao Yang urged the war horse under his crotch to move forward slowly, and called Cao Cao forward in a low voice.
"The end will be." Cao Cao, who was unusually conspicuous among a group of tall generals, hurriedly stepped forward to respond.
"How have the remnants of the Great Qin people been cleared?" Gao Yang, who had spent the entire winter in modern time and space, began to inquire about the progress of clearing the remnants of the Roman Empire. After all, the Han army brigade is about to set off to return to the distant mainland, and it is not good to keep these hidden dangers after all.
"Back to Lord Taiwei." Cao Cao replied with a respectful expression: "The enemy chieftain Severus has fled north at this time, crossed the sea, and entered the province of Britannia. General Zilong had already crossed the sea with his soldiers and horses to chase after him. It won't be long before good news comes. ”
After escaping from Rome, Severus fled north to the province of Gaul. There, he forcibly plundered the wealth of the wealthy local people for military expenses, massively expanded his army, and hired soldiers from the Germanic barbarians to bolster his power. An unusually large army was built up in a very short period of time.
It's a pity that the spirit and morale of these Romans have been crushed. They have empty numbers, but the morale of the army, weapons and equipment, and training level are all in shambles. Especially with the knowledge that the city of Rome has fallen. What other fighting power can they have? The settlers were forcibly conscripted to fight, and the Germanic barbarians were hired by gold and silver. How can such an army be able to fight?
When Zhao Yun and Guo Jia set out from Rome with tens of thousands of soldiers to the north to conquer Severus, the massive number of soldiers and horses under Severus were about to collapse at the touch of a button. After a series of defeats, the entire province of Gaul was soon lost. Severus fought non-stop all winter. But they all failed. He could only keep retreating. Until he crossed the sea and went to Britannia. Like a fighter, he tried to make a comeback and continue to fight against the Han army.
"How is Guo Jia's health?" Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction. Then he asked out loud.
"Very good, now in the city of Rome every day is a wine and beauty, which is so enviable." Cao Cao laughed and said.
When Guo Jia was in Gaul, he contracted a cold and induced pneumonia. This was originally a terminal illness that could not be cured, and could only depend on personal resistance and luck. However, Gao Yang has brought a large number of advanced drugs from modern time and space, and there is still no problem in treating Guo Jia. Guo Jia, who died young in history, easily escaped this catastrophe.
"How's the progress going elsewhere?" Gao Yang laughed for a moment and then continued to ask.
"The men and horses of the enemy chieftain Nigel were surrounded by a large army as they fled to Africa. It was already annihilated by the soldiers and horses under the command of General Wen Yuan last month. According to General Wen Yuan's battle report, the enemy chief Nigel committed suicide in the chaos of the army, and most of his soldiers and horses surrendered. General Wen Yuan captured a lot of materials in the army. This Nigel's ability to scavenge for wealth is no worse than that of the elders. Cao Cao continued to report on the military situation with a smile.
"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded.
"As for the provinces of Inner and Outer Spain, Lusitania and other provinces under the jurisdiction of the Great Qin people. As soon as the army of our Celestial Empire arrived, the resistance there immediately vanished. All of these places are now under the control of our army. There was a pause. Cao Cao continued, "A large number of enemy chieftains who escaped from the city of Rome have been captured from these places, and these people are all extremely rich. ”
"Hey." Gao Yang smiled and said, "These people are the truly rich Great Qin people. Did they resist? ”
"Nope." Cao Cao smiled and said, "Let's turn on the knife, these guys are all scared to pee their pants." ”
"Hahaha~~~" The generals around suddenly burst into laughter.
"Send all the captives to Alexandria, and send them to dig the canal. Including those nobles of noble status. There is no use in keeping all this waste, throw them all to build canals. The most important thing for us right now is this canal. Gao Yang clapped his hands and said in a deep voice, "As long as this canal is dug up, the transportation distance between here and the mainland will be reduced by half!" ”
"Yes." Cao Cao hurriedly responded.
"And." Gao Yang continued to instruct: "The earth kings and tribal leaders who have returned everywhere should also be educated. Send out all the rotten people who have migrated from their own land to rot. Transform the earth kings. Teach these bloody aliens to be honest and obedient. We don't need them to fight anymore. Let's go farming and grazing with peace of mind. ”
"Whoa!" All the generals responded in unison.
"Let's go." Gao Yang shook the reins and shouted with a laugh, "Hunting today." Open air barbecue in the evening. Whoever has the most prey, I'll give him a bottle of good wine! ”
"Oh!" The generals around them all shouted excitedly. They rushed to the prey.
After the fall of Rome, the entire western crusade could be declared over. The scattered resistance elsewhere has little practical significance. At best, it's just a matter of lingering.
Severus, who resisted the Han Empire to the death, eventually died at the hands of his own men. His men could no longer endure this endless and hopeless brutal battle.
The uprooted Romans had lost everything, but they were still fighting a brutal guerrilla war against the Han army in the pristine highlands of Scotland. They had no food and no salt. Even the clothes on their bodies began to put on animal skins. When Severus summoned his men and gave the order to cross the sea to the northern cold of the Vikings, his desperate men finally broke out.
After Severus' death, the remnants of organized resistance in the Roman Empire vanished. The entire Roman Empire had completely fallen into the hands of Gao Yang. He then made a new plan for this vast territory.
The lands of Gaul, Germania, Britannia, and the Vikings further north were united into a new Viceroyalty of Northern Europe. The Doge's Palace was set up in a fertile basin on the banks of the Seine. The Han army built a new city here, which was named Paris by Gaoyang.
Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong became the first governors of the Nordic Viceroyalty. Within a decade, he had developed the city in the middle of a fertile basin. Before he left to return to the Han Empire, Paris had a population of more than 300,000, more than half of whom were immigrants from the mainland.
The Viceroyalty of Western Europe, centered on the city of Rome, covered the whole of Italy, Inner and Outer Spain, Lusitania and Sardinia. Macedonia also has provinces such as Greece. The first governor was Cao Cao.
The city of Rome, which had been rebuilt after the war, was soon revived, when a large number of immigrants from distant lands arrived in the megacity. The industrious and courageous virtues of the Chinese nation soon turned this place into a vibrant place. A large number of originally poor Chinese people have found their own wealth and future here. It was also quickly black-haired. The world of yellow-skinned people.
Byzantium, the core seat of the Viceroyalty of Eastern Europe.
The Viceroyalty of Eastern Europe encompassed a large area of land throughout the North. Thrace, Poland, Bohemia, Asia Minor, and the entire Black Sea Rim are all under its jurisdiction. The development here is relatively backward. Gao Yang didn't pay much attention here. After all, everything has to be focused.
The Viceroyalty of North Africa in Alexandria in the south was much more important. It was home to the Suez Canal, which was crucial to the Han Empire. The canal is a bridge between two worlds in the truest sense of the word. Location is the absolute number one.
Zhang Liao, the first governor of the Viceroyalty of North Africa, successfully opened the Suez Canal in ten years with the help of countless slave lives and the cooperation of black powder and various large instruments.
The Viceroyalty of North Africa included Africa, Cyrenaica, Tunisia, Syria, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. Here, too, is extremely important.
The expeditionary armies of the Han army began to return to their distant homeland. Their epic expedition was enough to leave a name for all who participated. Their names will still be sung by countless people even after thousands of years.
As for their commander, the unusually low-key and mysterious Captain Gao Tai who appeared and rose like a comet. After the glorious westward crusade, it rarely appeared in people's eyes. However, although his people are far away, legends and deterrence still exist.
In the long years after the end of the Western Expedition, generation after generation of Chinese people took root in all parts of the world, spreading the fire of Chinese civilization to the world.
There is no shortage of careerists in this world. Rebellions have erupted from time to time, but no one has ever succeeded. Legend has it that Captain Gao had the power of a ghost, and he would appear every once in a while, patrolling everything in the world. All careerists who dared to betray were sent to the gallows.
The world is moving at a speed beyond normal sense. The resources of the entire world were used in a unified manner, and in a short period of time many industrial revolutions began, and gradually moved towards the cosmic age. (To be continued)
