Chapter 90: The Partition of Eastern and Western Rome

In a fit of rage, Hadu went to Bethlehem to ask the governor of Judea for a reason: who had put the damned Huns in the "Pharith". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, Hadu didn't care if the other party had any predatory ability, and he rushed to the other party's house to smash it all over the righteous, right to speak, strength, and plundering ability.

At this time, Theodosius I was appointed co-emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, and on the basis of Constantine I, he made Christianity the state religion, making Christianity very prosperous in the country. Hadu did not pay any attention to the crosses that filled the streets, and when he had finished venting, he noticed that the Jewish governor had a rather humble attitude towards him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, Theodosius I happened to be patrolling the province of Judea, and was living in the temple in Jerusalem (the Holy of Holies was forcibly demolished after the adoption of Christianity as the state religion), and when he heard of the arrival of Hado, the "legendary tribal leader", he hurried out to meet the legendary old chief.

When he met Theodosius I, Hado still looked confused and cautious, and after repeated inquiries, he realized that this was no longer the era of persecution of Christianity. Not only did the Roman emperor himself wear the cross accessory, but even the attendants behind him wore the cross. Suddenly, Hado keenly felt a special gaze looking at him, and following that gaze, it turned out to be a slightly shorter squire, but he was wearing an inverted cross, and Hadu immediately reacted that the other party was an undercover agent of the Demon Church.

Speaking of which, even though the Roman Emperor had decreed Christianity as the state religion, not only the Christian Church but also the Demon Church were wary and did not fully cooperate with the Emperor, which made the spread of Christianity in the western part of Rome not too fast. The difference in the proportion of Christians in the East and the West also made the contradictions between the two places more and more serious, and when Theodosius I had just ascended the throne, he felt somewhat powerless to discuss the affairs of the East and the West.

The two leaders talked for a long time in the cathedral of Bethlehem, and Hado heard about Constantine I's pardon of Christianity, and about Emperor Diocletian's proposal for the partition of the four emperors. In this regard, Hado quietly asked the latter if he felt difficult to manage this empire with a large territory, only to see Theodosius I sigh and affirm with a wry smile: "Of course it's a headache, not to mention the heavy affairs, just on the issue of Christianity, there is no way for the East and the West to agree on the issue. Whew,I don't know if Brother Ren has any good suggestions.。。 ?”

What good advice could Hadu have, not to mention that the territory of "Shin'ne-Nu" was eventually reduced to a small area near "Falie", and he himself never really "ruled". But he couldn't save face in front of the Roman emperor, so he pretended to be silent for a while, and then suggested: "It is said that 'brothers are alive, and they are like brothers', and it is said that Your Majesty and others discuss matters together, there will be some estrangement; Your Majesty, your eldest son, Arcadius, and your second, Honorius, are they just the right fit for this soon? ?”

Hearing Hadu's suggestion, the emperor's eyes lit up: this was really a good suggestion, which not only solved the problem of divide and rule, but also satisfied the need for collegiality, and he was able to pass on the throne to his descendants without the interference and hindrance of the Senate. In this way, Diodosius II and III can be born logically, and then this bloodline of their family will be passed down intact. As a result, the Emperor happily began a deeper conversation with Hado, and secretly made up his mind to follow this suggestion.

But neither Hado nor Theodosius I himself could have imagined that in two years, the mighty Roman Empire would finally break up as a result of this suggestion. However, neither of the two people who were chatting had thought about this matter, and they were exchanging views on matters related to Christianity.

One of the things that Hado had to say something for these old fellows was that he had discovered that after experiencing monotheism, these dioceses had enough potential to develop into atheist bases, which made him want to promote monotheism as much as possible and eliminate the polytheism of ancient Rome. In this regard, Hado hoped that the emperor would stop this "last gathering of polytheism" on the grounds that "the ancient Olympics are contrary to the tenets of Christianity". The Emperor was very pleased with this suggestion, and he also saw it as a great act to unite the Christian Church and show the Christians that he truly trusted the Church. Therefore, Theodosius I immediately dictated and asked the clerk next to him to record it: the ancient Olympic Games (which had just been held that year) were abolished, the event was judged to be a pagan activity, and all those involved in it were arrested and tried - in fact, most of them were disobedient Western athletes, which was also a disgrace to the Western consuls.

As for the Huns' invasion of "Falie", the emperor expressed some innocence and helplessness: Attila's troops still couldn't fight the Roman soldiers, and in order to be able to make a difference, one of the fast troops passed quickly through the corridor area between the blood sea and the blue sea, but it couldn't beat the guards of Alexandria, so it had to go all the way down to the south. The Emperor could only offer compensation to the "Fa Lie" for this unfortunate fact, but Hado "generously" refused - he instead demanded the establishment of a buffer zone, that is, from the Third Falls of the Nile to the areas of the First and Fifth Falls, to prevent such a thing from happening again. This request was actually to suggest that the emperor send more troops to Egypt and set up a border post near the Fourth Falls.

Theodosius I, who was well versed in Egyptian affairs, smiled bitterly at this suggestion: when the Fifth Waterfall was hit, it was already the land of the old Egyptian dynasty, where not only were resources scarce, but also the population was sparse, let alone increase the army, and even the basic recruitment of auxiliary soldiers could not be completed locally, and this method was definitely not feasible.

However, Hadu was not satisfied, and the emperor was not sure, so he turned to a compromise plan: set up an outpost in the Sinai Peninsula in the narrowing area of the sea of blood and the small port area directly opposite, at least to prevent harassment by horseback peoples who were not good at water transportation.
