Chapter 1264: The Beginning of Glory

For the retreating Triumphant Emperor Severus, he was not completely defeated, at the very least, he resolved the internal contradictions, and there was no longer a danger of being overthrown by the Roman people.

Later historians agree that the glory of Rome at that time went from strength to decline and even peasant rebellion in just a few years. This qiē came from Emperor Hongwu's policy of economic plundering of Rome.

The Triumphant Emperor allowed Rome to smash and loot the legions, and the three resting areas were gone, and the relics of the gods fell in the smashing and looting. Subsequently, the smashing and looting legions were reorganized by Triumph the Great and became part of the regular Roman army.

Thus, Rome had an army of three million.

As a result, the triumphant Emperor Severus laid down 300,000 troops in Babylon, 500,000 heavy troops in Egypt, and 500,000 soldiers and horses in Greece.

Triumphant Emperor Severus, sent a descendant of the glorious bloodline, Sempronius. Tiberius's governor Babylon arranged a fortress in the majestic ancient city of Babylon, hoping to use the fortress walls to consume the Qin army's vital strength on a large scale, give the Qin army a blow to the head, and severely reduce its spirit.

On the other hand, Severus sent Gadet. Julius. Caesar's governor of Egypt, sued him, "Originally, Pompey's ancestors conquered Africa and were awarded the "great." And now, like your ancestor Julius Caesar, you should protect the empire's Africa. If the Qin army breaks through Babylon and advances closer to the interior of Europe, you will send troops to cut off the supply lines of the Qin army. ”

Severus sent Marcus, a descendant of the Glory Bloodline. Junius. Octavian, Doge of Greece, said: "Greece is the beginning of imperial glory. To protect Greece is to protect the glory of the empire. ”

In this way, Severo is the whole Mediterranean Rim. Lay out the next triangular defensive system. And he himself will sit in the city of Rome and try to restore the vitality of the country. "When the empire recovers," he said, "the counteroffensive begins. ”

Severus began to concretely lay out his triangular defenses in order to keep the Qin army out of his empire.

On the other hand, Qin Feng, who was about to reach the western shore of the Persian Gulf, received news that the Romans had retreated on all fronts.

"The glory of Great Qin has begun!" In the flagship command room, Qin Feng said to his military advisors and generals.

The hearts of the Great Qin Qunchen were stirred, once upon a time, the empire that came out of China could obtain the glory of the world? It is the powerful Han Empire. Nor has it really gone out of East Asia. The only country in the world today that has glory is Rome. And at this moment, Daqin has opened its own road to glory. The glory of Daqin, that is, the glory of China.

There will only be one glory in the world, and the road to glory of Great Qin has just begun. Rome, in order not to lose its glory, will definitely fight to the bottom. In today's world, no country or nation can be said to be able to defeat Rome.

This is a declaration of war by a new empire against an old one, and who wins and who loses. It was expected.

We must be cautious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are walking on thin ice.

Lao Jia Xu walked out, and his ideal in this life is a good death. However, when he was under the command of Emperor Hongwu, his ideals changed. He will definitely be able to die well, and he wants to do something for the world. And at the moment. His philosophy has changed dramatically, and he wants to live his life. Seeing the glory of Daqin, the glory of China envelops the world.

"Your Majesty. First of all, the southern peninsula of the Persian Gulf should be subdued, so as not to have worries. In addition, the Babylonian region was an endless plain, and the minister guessed that the Romans must have concentrated their forces in the city of Babylon. This is at the confluence of the two river basins, which is easy to defend and difficult to ......attack. ”

Qin Feng nodded thoughtfully, "First of all, we must solve the Arabian Peninsula." ”

"Arabian Peninsula!" The ministers' hearts moved, at this moment there is no official name for this peninsula, since the emperor said that it is called the Arabian Peninsula, then it is called the Arabian Peninsula, and the people above are naturally Arabs. Therefore, the Arabs in later generations will also be grateful to the Hongwu Emperor, if it were not for the Hongwu Emperor to give the name, they would not be Arabs, maybe they would be called Atubers.

And the region of Babylon is indeed a great plain that has no danger to defend. How flat it was was when King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon built the Hanging Gardens for his queen. Methys, queen of Babylon, was a Medes, and after she came to Babylon, she was not long in her face filled with sorrow. When Nebuchadnezzar II asked why, the queen said, "My hometown is full of mountains and flowers. And this is the endless plain of Babylon, where not even a hill can be found, and how I longed to see the mountains and winding trails of our homeland again! ”

There is not even a small hill, which shows that it is too peaceful. However, Nebuchadnezzar II could not help but think, "The plains are good for the crops and for the people." Your country is in the mountains, and the people are few and poor. Of course, he loved his wife deeply, so he did not say it explicitly, but in the palace, he used houses of different heights as "mountains", planted flowers and trees on them as "stacked greens", and opened up "mountain roads" in them, and "gurgling water" beside the mountain roads.

This mountainous garden, built on top of the palace, gives the impression that the entire imperial garden hangs in the air, hence the name "Hanging Garden".

Although the cost of construction and maintenance is huge, it is better than the princes of the Beacon Theater.

"Hanging Garden, I really want to see it!" Qin Feng said.

In the 2nd century AD, Greek scholars listed the "Hanging Garden" as one of the "Seven Wonders of the World" when appreciating famous buildings and sculptures from all over the world, as well as the Great Wall of China. Due to the openness and invigoration of Emperor Hongwu, the people of Great Qin still know this allusion.

The ministers sighed and wanted to see it.

Pang Tong said: "These seven wonders happen to be the palace of our emperor. ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he was "full of liver and gall", and said with a smile: "The rest is okay, the pyramid is still forgotten!" ”

Lao Jia Xu gave Pang Tongyi a record of the explosion at that time, "So that you don't study hard, do you know what the pyramid is for?" ”

Pang Tong was very aggrieved, "Isn't it a place to communicate with the gods?" ”

"The ...... of dead man's communication." Guo Jia whispered.

Pang Tongyi was shocked and knelt down at that time, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Qin Feng could finally start the counterattack on Rome, he was happy in his heart, and he didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Ten thousand years old is estimated to be enough, and the pyramids are not bad, when the time comes, everyone will live in it together and communicate with the gods!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they were first overjoyed, and said in their hearts, "My emperor is benevolent and sage, and he is approachable, if it is another emperor, just this sentence will wipe out Pang Tong to the end." Then he was frightened and said secretly: "We still have to go to the ancestral grave!" So, the ministers pointed to Pang Tong together and said, "Just live in Pang Junshi." ”

Who knew that Pang Tong threw up his sleeves and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are with you!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked, and said in unison: "We are willing to follow the emperor with the emperor in life and death!" ”

Qin Feng laughed, and soon got up, and with a slap on the map, he called out the location of the city of Rome on the map, and said: "Defeat the city of Rome, it's not too late for our monarchs and ministers to discuss it!" ”

So, the ministers stirred up and began to act.

Half a month later, the good news was frequent, Guan Yu subdued the Arabian Peninsula, and a small number of Jews and nomads on the peninsula who had been oppressed by Rome were willing to join the Great Qin system and contribute to the victory over Rome. Emperor Hongwu thought that he would face great resistance in the face of the Jews, and he was ready.

But the news from Guan Yu was that hundreds of years ago, when the Romans conquered here, the Jews were scattered. Qin Feng was overjoyed and ordered to canonize Guan Yu as a third-class Han Shouhouhou, a "Middle Eastern" general. He also ordered officials of Great Qin to be careful to safeguard the holy city, implement a policy of religious freedom, and avoid religious disputes.

At the end of August 221, the Romans were indeed unable to resist the army clusters of Great Qin on the Great Plains, and retreated into the city of Babylon on all fronts, hoping to use the Xiongcheng to block the footsteps of Great Qin.

At the end of the same month, the Qin army of more than 2 million troops besieged Babylon.

In the city, 300,000 Romans were surrounded by nearly ten times the Qin army, and in the palace, the Babylonian governor Tiberius was anxious, and he scratched his curly gold and said to his tribune: "Doyus, hasn't the news of Your Majesty arrived yet?" ”

"Report ......, Lord Governor, Your Majesty's edict has arrived!" At this time, a Guards officer came to report.

Tiberius was overjoyed, took it and opened it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he threw the edict and said angrily: "Old fellow, this is clearly asking us to die!" ”

The tribune Doyus was shocked, and hurriedly picked it up to see, his face was also pale, and the edict roughly said this: The city of Babylon is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is at the confluence of two rivers, and the water and food are not worried, and it is suitable for a long time. It is expected that the soldiers in the city will fight bravely for the empire, and the Qin army will retreat if they cannot attack it for a long time.

"The old guy is going to sacrifice us and buy time!" Tiberius scolded.

Doyus said: "What His Majesty said is not unreasonable, if our army can hold on, we will kill a large number of Qin troops. The Qin army will retreat, after all, the Qin army has recovered all the lost territory. ”

In any case, Tiberius was in the city, and he could only bite the bullet and hope that the army would boost morale, saying that the reinforcements of the Triumphant Emperor would soon arrive, and that if he could support the most difficult moment, he would be able to usher in a great counteroffensive. When Severus left, he left most of his supplies in Babylon, which shows that the Triumphant Emperor attached great importance to the Babylonian region. The Roman soldiers, who did not know what to do, were all gearing up to defend the land to the death.

And for the Qin army, there are five major civilizations in the world, China, Egypt, the subcontinent, Babylon, and Greece. Rome is the product of a union under barbarism and is not among them.

These five different civilizations are the birthplace of modern world civilization. Whoever obtains the other four civilizations will be able to control the world.

Great Qin came from the Chinese civilization and had already gained the civilization of the subcontinent, and the Hongwu Emperor, who came to Babylon, would continue to lead Great Qin forward. And ancient Babylon was the beginning of Great Qin's glorious conquest of the world? Or the Waterloo of Emperor Hongwu? (To be continued......)
