Chapter 1263: Severus's Decision

This is the first use of living biological weapons in the history of world warfare, and the Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng, using his insight and wisdom beyond the times, brought another great victory to the Great Qin Empire.

This battle was the second full-scale naval battle between Great Qin and Rome as state entities, and it was also the earliest known international naval battle in the world. It ended with the victory of the Great Qin Navy, which forced the Roman triumphant Emperor Severus to switch from active offensive to strategic defense.

This naval battle, which went down in history, basically laid the political, economic, and cultural pattern of the East and the West for more than a thousand years.

This is a great victory, this is the victory of the Chinese system, this is the victory of Great Qin, this is the victory of Hongwu the Great.

After the complete victory in the naval battle, Emperor Hongwu immediately ordered, "Open up a second battlefield, so that the offensive positions of the Romans and the defensive line of the Romans are useless!" ”

At this point, the Qin army began a full-scale counteroffensive, and the elite Central Army boarded the ships and prepared to land directly into the depths of the Persian Gulf and enter the Roman Babylonian region. Emperor Hongwu Qin Feng will lead his most elite legion to blow the horn of a counterattack.

However, there is one thing, is it the Great Qin military divisions.

On this day, Qin Feng was at the port of Minagara, watching the last group of soldiers get on board.

On the side, Guo Jia frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the people of all ethnic groups have great grievances against the Romans, and they have asked to degrade the captives into slaves. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing?" Qin Feng turned around and said.

Pang Tong followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, our policy of Great Qin is that there are no slaves. ”

Qin Feng nodded. "The Romans enslaved peoples, and we can't do such a thing."

Then the question arises. Lao Jia said: "Then, how can we calm the people's grievances." And doesn't it go against the national policy? ”

Qin Feng frowned, and then looked at his trio of military advisors. After a breath, the trio of military advisors sweated on their foreheads. Pang Tong secretly scolded Jia Xu, "You old guy, can you ask questions?" Do you understand what a military advisor is? Even if you can't think of it and want to hear the hadith, you have to be tactful. ”

If you don't understand, ask the emperor, this is already the consensus of the ministers of Great Qin, who made the emperor the holy master.

Lao Jia Xu was very embarrassed. The trio arched their hands, their bent waists getting lower and lower as time passed.

Qin Feng scratched his forehead, his heart moved, and said, "These Romans have made mistakes and they will be punished." But you don't need to be a slave, you can be reformed through labor. Establishment of a specialized Roman labor camp ....... ”

The trio of military advisors were overjoyed, and Lao Jia Xu was worried: "I'm afraid that something will happen when we gather together." ”

Qin Feng said with a smile: "There are many mines in various places, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" The trio of military advisors suddenly opened their mouths, and they felt that following the Holy Lord was different. There is no obstacle, all the way to the fast lane, happy.

As a result, Daqin had a Roman labor camp. Specialized in re-education through labor for Romans. The Romans worked hard day and night, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than cats. They do more than donkeys, and they eat worse than pigs. And so it goes. The people's grievances were calmed, and Daqin's economic construction added a group of lifelong "new forces".

And the Romans, who had enslaved all peoples for thousands of years, had such an end. It is already the benevolence of the Hongwu Emperor and the burning of high incense.

Subsequently, Emperor Hongwu boarded the Yedu and led his legions to the Persian Gulf to the back of the Romans.

On the other hand, the base camp of the Hari River, where Severus is located.

On this day, the Roman Emperor Severus was in his palace, drinking wine with all the glorious bloodlines and watching the beautiful woman perform.

The Roman Empire had suffered a heavy blow in the past, but in recent times it has had a slight military advantage. Internally, too many mobs died, and the remaining Roman citizens shared the money of the dead, and Roman society stabilized.

Therefore, the Roman top brass can be regarded as relieved. These nobles of the feudal monarchy do not care whether the common people live or die, as long as their rule is consolidated, then the world is peaceful.

Therefore, Severus and his glorious bloodline have some leisure and elegance again.

Just listen to Julius Caesar's grandson "Worm Worm Worm" Guy Ted. Julius. Caesar said: "This Daqin's costume is really good!" ”

So, everyone only watched the beautiful legs in the stockings, and lingered on the murderous cover, all of them contracted chicken plague.

"Report ......."

Just when everyone was about to find the "nurse" to take medicine for treatment, a Praetorian Guard officer rushed in, and the "nurses" were disgraced and hurriedly retreated to the side.

"Majesty, it's not good to be a big deal! Our fleet has been wiped out outside the Persian Gulf! ”

"What!" Severus's heart trembled violently, contracted violently, and two catties of blood were squeezed out. The guide's body twitched, and a glass of grape wine was all exhaled on his face. He didn't care about wiping the scarlet liquid, jumped up and shouted, "The whole army is annihilated!"

"It's a drop, the whole army will be wiped out!" The officer said with a pale face.

The faces of the Glory Bloodlines turned even paler, and the hands holding the goblets kept trembling as they looked at Severus.

Subsequently, Severo received specific information.

Severus smashed his butt on the throne, and the Glory Bloodline was already paralyzed on the throne.

Severus lost his voice, "What, he was defeated by a rat!"

The officer said again: "Later, the Qin army entered the port, and the survivors of our army overheard the conversation of the Qin army. It's so, so, so, ......, it's a rat thrown by Emperor Hongwu. ”

"What!" Severus and his glorious bloodline trembled for a while, and said in shock: "It turned out to be the rat thrown by Emperor Hongwu!" ”

The grandson of Octavian, the first emperor of Rome, was Marcus. Junius. Octavian said incoherently: "It's so despicable, it's so powerful, who would have thought that the enemy would throw rats instead of fire oil bombs, it's really impossible to prevent it!" ”

"Bastard!" Severus threw the glass out of his hand and blossomed on Octavian's head.

"Your Majesty forgiveness!" Octavian screamed, "I didn't mean that, I mean Emperor Hongwu is too despicable!" ”

Followed by the sighs, frowns, bitter faces, anxiety, nervousness, anger, frustration, sadness, pain, remorse, worry, restlessness, sadness, sadness, disappointment, depravity, irritability. And so on and so forth, all the negative feelings poured into my heart that had become a mess.

"Report ......." Then. Another Praetorian Guard officer rushed up to the temple and stumbled several times. He said: "Your Majesty, it's not easy to tease, the Great Qin fleet has entered the Persian Gulf with the army!" ”

"Ahh Severus and the others exclaimed, and the negative feelings immediately pulled the price limit.

"It's over, Rome is over." Glory Bloodline thought so.

Sempronius. Tiberius walked out quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Hongwu is going to copy our back road!" ”

The first patriarch, Antonique, was pale in his old face. The old body was almost trembling and couldn't walk, so he came out and said, "Your Majesty, the rest area is no longer defensible, so as not to be surrounded by the Qin army, let's withdraw quickly!" ”

Just now, Rome was still singing and dancing, enjoying the good turn of the empire, and this side was immediately a roller coaster, and several big benefits came down. It's really unbearable for the living.

However, Severus was the rising king of the Roman Empire in the end, with the title of "great". The level is comparable to the ancestors of Caesar, Octavian, and the dead Pompey and others. He experienced many ups and downs in his life, from a young lightly armed soldier to an emperor. He hadn't experienced anything. It was really a few ups and downs, he had seen a lot of powerful enemies, but he was the one who won in the end.

Severus was freed from negative emotions such as shock, anger, and anxiety. Begin to discuss the retreat with the Glory Bloodline.

Severus made the decision of an emperor, "This time retreat. We must retreat to the end. The Roman army could no longer fight in the outer areas, and all returned to their homeland for defense. ”

This was also a reluctant move on the part of Severus. This time he took the initiative to provoke the war, and the killer was Pompey's expeditionary force. However, the expeditionary force was completely defeated, and the navy was gone at this moment, and if it fought head-on, the domestic production capacity would not be comparable to that of Rome in Daqin, and it would not be able to win against Daqin at all.

And why Severus took the initiative to start a war, there are two points, the first is the most important, he must divert the internal contradictions, otherwise, without the help of Great Qin, his dynasty will be overthrown by his people, and he himself will definitely die. The second is to bet on the expeditionary force.

Now, the result is very bad, and Severus has completely lost the ability to defeat Great Qin. Fortunately, the contradictions in Rome have disappeared due to the mass death of the rebellious people.

Go back and command the slaves, and on a large scale in the vast expanse of land, farming, laboring, and recuperating.

And the wives and daughters of the dead peasants were given to the soldiers of Rome and the people who survived. In this way, Severus was confident that the army and the Roman people had the support of him, and that within a few years he would be able to recover.

The glory bloodlines pondered, and it also made sense. In times of civil turmoil, the Romans could not do anything to their own people, otherwise there would be greater resistance. This time, with the help of the power of Great Qin, the rebellious people were eliminated, and the country was stable. It is good for everyone to develop well and stand up after breaking.

However, will Great Qin give Rome time to break and stand still? Daqin will definitely counterattack!

The Glory Bloodlines voiced their concerns.

Severus said: "Don't panic, Great Qin has built fortifications in the country to resist our attack. We can also build fortifications, and Emperor Hongwu will definitely not lose his mind and mobilize tens of millions of peasants to attack us. Our fortifications, as a result, will face less impact. And Daqin's army suffered a lot of losses, how could it break through our defensive line? ”

Severus said that he had lost his mind, not that he had scolded himself. He mobilized tens of millions of peasants in order to divert domestic contradictions and to protect himself. If the peasant does not die, he will die.

"Even if Emperor Hongwu mobilizes the peasants, let Daqin see the stronger garrison of our Rome. Kill him by millions of people, then, Great Qin's national strength will be empty" Severus spread his hands, "Isn't his empire turbulent?" ”

The crowd felt justified, and Severus, worthy of being the wise monarch of Roman history who stepped on the Senate and ruled the whole country, immediately made a decision and immediately retreated. His regular Roman army did not lose much, so it was not a problem to garrison along the line.

And Hongwu the Great did not know that the Romans had begun to retreat on all fronts, and still took his central army to the west, directly to the interior of the Persian Gulf. (To be continued......)
