Chapter 56 Territorial Claims

In any case, Li Liguo's behavior greatly changed his cruel and tyrannical image, and a monarch who treats his own people well is a qualified monarch!

As for the cruelty to the commoners, in this era, it is really too normal, and the attitude of the nobles at the top to the commoners is to look at the eyes of the inferior, and in the eyes of the nobles, the commoners are a group of mud legs who are born to work to death to support them!

It's just that Li Liguo's approach is more blatant and reckless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The plenipotentiary envoy of the Kingdom of Sparta is one of the few remaining veterans of Sparta, and he was granted all the negotiation rights and negotiation bottom line by Li Liguo!

The peace conditions brought by the envoy were simple:

1. Recognize the legitimacy of the territory and state of the Kingdom of Sparta, and pay war reparations!

2. Cedion of the Mercia region, the Macedonian region and the Greek peninsula!

3. Reach a strategic alliance to jointly resist the invasion of the Huns!

Well, these 3 articles are all unilateral payments of the Eastern Roman Empire, and there are some other details, and the two sides are quite equal conditions.

However, everything else is negotiable, and it is really difficult for the Eastern Roman Empire to accept this cession of territory!

This cession was recognized by the Eastern Roman Empire itself, which means that the war between the two countries would be ended, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of regaining it in the future......

If it was a state of war, the Eastern Roman Empire could mobilize the people to evacuate the area, and even ruthlessly adopt a scorched earth policy, which could not be done in accordance with the treaty......

Of course, Li Liguo is not negotiable, in fact, what Li Liguo wants most is the Macedonian region and the Greek Peninsula, which have not experienced war for many years, where the local customs are relatively easy to control and very rich!

The most important thing is that the culture of the two places is very close to the kingdom of Sparta, after all, the Spartan civilization was born from the Greek civilization......

This was even more conducive to the Spartan kingdom's effective rule over these two places in a short period of time!

In the end, under the coercion of Li Liguo's army, both sides took a step back, and the Eastern Roman Empire agreed to cede Macedonia and the Greek Peninsula, but the Mercia region was not ceded!

In return, of course, they paid an additional sum of money and weapons to the kingdom of Sparta!

Without the link of the Mercia region, the kingdom of Sparta, where the navy is about zero, is equivalent to the separation of the two territories!

The emperors and senators of the Eastern Roman Empire thought that after they reorganized their army in a few years, the kingdom of Sparta would inevitably be weakened by the management of the two enclaves, and at that time, it would be time to restart the war!

The nobles of the Eastern Roman Empire are not worried, Li Liguo once again recklessly formed a large army, Macedonia and Greece have a high degree of civilization, and are very friendly to the Roman Empire, and the number of slaves is not large, it is difficult for Li Liguo to recruit an army hostile to the Eastern Roman Empire from these two places in a short time!

Of course, the Eastern Roman Empire also added an insurance, and all the materials for compensation were imported in batches and delivered once every few months, so that Li Liguo would not suddenly become rich like looting the city of Rome!

Li Liguo doesn't care about these at all, because he already has a better target for plundering!

While the Kingdom of Sparta sent a small number of troops into Macedonia and the Greek Peninsula to take over its territory, and completed the handover with Roman officials, it reorganized the 1st to 5th legions, no longer setting up a separate archer legion, but each legion was equipped with archer troops, organized into a regular legion in the Cold Weapon Age!

After the Kingdom of Sparta stabilized the dominance of Macedonia and the Greek Peninsula, Li Liguo's main force of 5 legions did not move over, but carried out large-scale looting and massacres against the Lycia and Illyrian regions where the East and West Goths were located!

Li Liguo preached to the outside world that the Goths did not obey discipline during the war and attacked the heroic soldiers of the Spartan Kingdom, and he would repay it with the blood of all the Goths!

The Goths, who were still in the tribal era, naturally did not sit back and clashed with the regular army of the Spartan kingdom in constant conflict and war!

However, how could the scattered Goths outlast the war-torn Spartan army of 100,000?

An army of 100,000 was definitely a behemoth in Roman times!

These 100,000 people are not a ragtag army of armies of various nationalities, but a highly centralized army with a unified structure, unified armament, and loyalty to one person!

Li Liguo spent half a year to carry out a large-scale eradication of the Goths in the two places, and the surrendered Goths were used as slaves by men and military prostitutes by women, living a dark life......

This time, Li Liguo has higher requirements for slaves, and has always controlled the number of Gothic slaves, and a large number of Goths are actually slaughtered!

In the end, the goths in the two places really can't stand this kind of life, what if they can't beat it?

Let's migrate......

The two Goths reunited in the flames of war, and were banished by the Spartan army to the war-torn Gaul!

When Li Liguo was busy robbing and killing, the Eastern Roman Empire was naturally very happy to watch from the sidelines, and was busy recovering its strength, while the Huns were not concerned with themselves and hung high, and the Huns did not think that the Goths could cause much trouble to the Spartan army, so naturally they had no intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob......

When robbing the Goths, Li Liguo did not forget to mobilize the slave masses and increase the taxes of the Romans in the Italian peninsula, accumulating wealth to build weapons and armor!

But Li Liguo's approach to Macedonia and the Greek Peninsula is the opposite!

He changed the image of a tyrant in Macedonia and the Greek Peninsula, and did not affect the lives of the local civilians in the slightest, but carried out a series of local garrison recruitments and military training in both places, in the name of protecting the security of the two places......

Most of the wealth that Li Liguo looted was invested in this larger and larger local garrison!

Even the Spartan city-state, which was of the same origin and ancestry, gained many officer positions in the local garrison and shared a great cake of power!

Under Li Liguo's special care, the Spartan city-state was completely thrown into the arms of the Spartan kingdom, and he was proud to be a Spartan when he went out!

In this way, while the Goths were displaced and the Romans were living in hardship, the Greeks lived happily and happily!

These are all thanks to Li Liguo!

When Li Liguo declared that the capital of the Kingdom of Sparta would be the city-state of Sparta, the entire Greek peninsula was boiling!

Li Liguo is preliminarily recognized by the Greeks! (To be continued.) )
