Chapter 0904. Roman Liwei
In one day's riots, more than 1,000 Fujian people were mutilated by the crazy mob, more than half of the houses that had been repaired in the settlement area were destroyed, and one or two thousand people were injured, and precious porcelain, silk, tea and spices were lost.

But even so, the Persians, the Tang people, and the Tianzhu people were grieving the dead on the one hand, but they were full of revenge on the other, and those who dared to offend the Chinese made them pay the price of twenty times the blood, and this blood continued to flow.
It's been a day since the riot ended, and outside the north gate of the city of Rome, there was still a bloody Shura at this time.
"Official, please believe me, why am I not messing with the party, I just came out to make soy sauce! I have a wife and a five-year-old child, and they can't live without me! ”
A thin Roman man cried desperately, fluttered, and looked around, but the stout Lombard executioners did not seem to hear, and their fleshy faces showed no trace of pity, but they lifted him up to the bench with indifference, and put his neck in the ropes.
Fortunately, this thin man is not alone, there are hundreds of men and women like him around him, on both sides of the road, imitating ancient Rome, the Fujian Expeditionary Force also built rows of torture racks, a straight pole with a tripod head, it has become a simple device for people's lives, so many people are all helped to hang their hands on it, just like Nanjing people hang ducks.
They were all selected leaders from among the Roman mob, the masterminds of this riot.
Last night at the city gate, there were only a few hundred Roman mobs who sacrificed their lives, and after they were buried under the Frankish axe, the remaining tens of thousands of mobs all knelt down and surrendered, after all, the martyrs are still a small number, and more people still have families and businesses, and cherish their lives.
Originally, I just wanted to follow the riot to pick up some cheap, who knew that the suppression of the Min people was so cruel! More than 10,000 people were killed in the city, and many Roman mob were killed.
The trial was a luxury for the mob, and the Min Expeditionary Force only sent interrogation clerks to ask these captives at will, who led you to rebel? There were already many grievances between the poor and the poor, and some of the mobs simply took the opportunity to take revenge, and many of them were dragged out by the murderous Rumba soldiers as soon as they were identified by the surrounding area, and without any discernment, they were taken to the city gate and hung on the gallows.
There were thousands of people who had attended the last dinner of Adéodatus, and these people at the gate of the city were both wronged and those who had slipped through the net, but at this time, who cared about him, who was appointed as the captain of the mercenary regiment, the more than two meters tall and muscular Lombard nobleman Alamis, gave an order, and the wooden stools under the prisoner's feet were neatly removed, and suddenly, hundreds of men and women on both sides of the road Romans were bouncing and struggling like fish caught.
"See it, this is the end of betrayal of the Min Kingdom!"
Exactly like the proclamators of the Senate in ancient times, the big fat man in the Mediterranean robe of the Roman style hissed and roared with all his might, and with his voice, a large flock of crows was startled and circled, and tens of thousands of captured Roman citizens knelt on the ground, trembling and watching.
It is estimated that this is like a scene of divine punishment, and these mobs will not forget it until they die, and they will pass on this fear to their children and grandchildren.
The prestige of the Min people is completely established in this land!
After watching in despair as many of the neighbors danced on the gallows, as many as 20,000 captive mob men trembled and were driven into the mines where the Lombards had been staying, where they were to pay for their sins by a year of hard labor, and the captured women were also driven into the various textile workshops, where they sat next to spinning machines, watching each other in hatred and anguish to create wealth for the Togofu.
Passing by the door of the workshop, looking at the women from the window looking at each other suspiciously, and hatefully looking at the women of the Rumba Di supervising the work silently, the corners of Zhong Huang's mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile like a little fox.
All this is cruel, but politically it is a wonderful one.
Let the Roman mob identify each other's leaders, in order to survive, these selfish guys have to bite each other, plus there are also mutual enmity in the pauper's house, the internal contradictions are exposed at once, and they hate each other, and they can no longer hold each other.
In addition, the massacre of the Roman mob, except for the Lombards, who were Franks, used Germanic soldiers, on the contrary, the Min people rarely dispatched.
In this case, the citizens of Rome saw the fierce hands of the Protectorate, and the hatred was mainly concentrated on the Germanic and other northern immigrants, and the Min people were ranked behind.
Since then, the contradictions of the Italian peninsula have been torn apart, and this has become more acute, and the complex forces and nationalities hate each other, and can no longer unite together, if you want to live better, you must rely on the Fujian expeditionary force, under this status, the expeditionary force can be incarnated into an arbiter, who does not submit, only needs to favor some other parties, and naturally it is overwhelmed.
Especially this time, it also dealt a serious blow to the power of the Roman land snake and the Holy See
"Okay, Miss Ben has done everything she needs to do, and the King of Min has ordered me to open a port in the eastern part of the Italian Peninsula, and the rest will depend on the two adults." Inspecting the completion workshop, Zhong Huang said a blessing to Chen Zhangming and Yang Xiong in a chic manner, and then comfortably returned to the Fujian settlement to direct their repairs under the escort of the humble Han Anda.
Looking at her figure, and then looking at the organization of the Holy See, the clergy team members who collected the corpses are still busy, and outside the city, Pope Eugene, who is still in a daze with angry eyes on the corpses of his old friend, Chen Zhangming and Yang Xiong are looking at each other and smiling bitterly.
This aunt patted her ass and walked easily, leaving too much mess to clean up!
Since they have already made a ruthless move, they must have delayed the attack on the Viceroyalty of Ravenna, and the rebellion of the Romans sounded the alarm for the Protectorate, and after discussing with Yang Xiong, Chen Zhangming and the two simply stopped the expansion of the Governorate and began to rectify the interior of the territory laid during this time.
The first is to recruit a group of Lombard mercenaries, which will allow the Lombards to come out of the clouds of defeat with a sigh of relief, not only were the 30,000 Lombard prisoners of war who were beaten as slaves pardoned, but many of the original Lombard nobles were also canonized as knights and officials.
Finally stood with the Fujian people, these two devils of the Lumba land also knew the gratitude, under the shouting of the uncle of the Fujian country, like a wolf and a tiger to kill the countryside of northern Italy, the original dare to resist taxes, stealing and slippery Roman mud legs were hung up one by one and pumped, and thrown into the mine after smoking, and the momentum of the rebellion against Fujian in the countryside was suddenly clear.
In half a month, the decree of the protectorate of the capital of Fujian was unimpeded in northern Italy, but the price paid was that there were hundreds of more gallows at the intersections of various places.
It is also ironic that the Holy See worked hard to invite the Fujian Expeditionary Force to Rome to defend the Holy See, but now it is the Lombards who patrol the streets of Rome to bully men and women, which is also a great irony for the Holy See.
This time the biggest loss is the Holy See, in the rebellion the Holy See did not stand on the side of the Roman citizens, but with the expeditionary force to suppress the rebellion, after the rebellion of the Holy See in various suburbs and preached obedience, forbearance, the village churches actively helped the Min army to urge the payment of taxes, invisibly, the prestige of the Holy See weakened among the common people, and the status of the Holy See also tended to be more and more in later generations and the major Western European kingdoms to maintain the suppressive class of feudalism.
After the rebellion, Eugene I fell seriously ill, and in order to appease the suffering pope, Chen Zhangming finally relented and agreed that the entire expeditionary force would convert to Christianity, whether he believed it or not, he made a prayer, which gave this poor old man who thought he was guilty of a little comfort.
In this situation, the troops were scattered to the countryside, and the Viceroyalty of Ravenna was still the strongest fortress in northern Italy, and the unification of Northern Italy had come to naught after the capture of this place within a year.
Unexpectedly, this crooked move had a miraculous effect, seeing the half-rotted corpse, the old man who was frightened at the lady's drinking party, and hurriedly sent someone to the city of Rome to inquire about the situation, and the messenger sent to see all the skeletons, corpses, and the tombs of the mob who were killed in the rebellion were connected in the north of the city, and the sky was full of flying crows, a terrifying image of hell.
Chen Zhangming, who was not satisfied, also put down his cruel words, and soon raised troops to step forward, slaughtering the city for three days, leaving no clouds and dogs, and frightened the Byzantine civil officials, who were also almost playboys, fled back to Ravenna in embarrassment, and trembled to Agorius to describe the cruelty of the Fujian people.
In less than three days, the governor of Ravenna, Agorius, actually personally led more than a thousand Roman legions to surrender to Rome without weapons, and standing at the gate of the city, this frightened fifty-year-old guy actually jumped off the horse and kissed Chen Zhangming's boots.
Since then, the last few thousand Roman soldiers and horses in the Viceroyalty of Ravenna have been subdued, and the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire south of the Alps is now all in the hands of Fujian.
A thriving landscape.
However, Zhong Huang, the chief proprietor of the She Merchant Bank, who was showing his power in the far west, did not follow the cargo ship back to China to buy goods, but led hundreds of soldiers all the way to the east, stopping in a small fishing village on the west coast of the Adriatic Sea in the eastern part of the Italian peninsula.
