Chapter 528 Use the corpses of the Romans to build a Jingguan and send Caesar's head to Chang'an!
In the first Battle of Sabbath, the Roman army of 80,000 was completely destroyed.
10,000 died under the artillery of the Han Empire, 20,000 died from trampling on each other, 20,000 were trampled and slashed by the Han cavalry, and more than 10,000 fell into the water and died.
The remaining 20,000 men became prisoners of the Han Empire - they were the lucky ones in the Roman army.
The whole battle, or the whole massacre, lasted two days and one night.
When it was all over, this valley of the Tigris was filled with layers of Roman corpses, and most of the river was blocked by dead bodies.
The water of the Tigris River, which rushed down, was even more red, and the smell was overwhelming.
The Han soldiers were killed and wounded less than 2,000, but the swords of all the soldiers were curled.
Pompey's body was eventually found in a small puddle, and the Archon was trampled to death by fleeing Roman soldiers.
He was covered in blue and black, his eyes burst out and hung on his sockets, and his internal organs came out of his mouth and cheeks.
The executioner who suppressed the Spartak uprising probably never imagined that he would end up in such an ugly end.
Before this battle, the Han Empire gave the impression of the Europa people as kind, wealthy, but deceivable.
This is a good name that has been praised and an excuse to be oppressed.
On the long silk road, I don't know how many Han merchants died at the hands of others because of this.
In the past, the army of the Han Dynasty could not leave the Western Regions, so naturally it could not solve this problem.
Now that the horse is drinking "Youhe", then they should know that the big man "cannot be bullied".
Although Han Zeng was born in a general's family, he was also very knowledgeable, and he decided to use a sentence to warn the world that "those who commit big Han crimes will be punished even if they are far away."
This sentence comes from "Zuo Biography": "Jun Yu built a military army, and collected the corpse of Jin as Jingguan".
So, Han Zeng built ten Jingguan on the edge of the city of Taixifeng.
The corpses of 60,000 Romans were collected and piled up on both sides of the avenue thirty miles north of Ctesiphon.
All the Europa people who came from the Roman Republic to rest in peace can see this Jingguan dozens of meters high, and feel the oppression and fear from the east.
And the cannon used by the Han army also received a romantic and terrifying name "dragon roar" in Latin.
A month later, news of Pompey's defeat and death reached Rome.
Caesar, who was only thirty-four years old, took over as consul of Pompey.
While gaining power, he was also kidnapped and coerced by public opinion.
Although Caesar did not want to wage war against the East, the Senate did not agree.
Under the cries of revolt, Caesar requisitioned 100,000 troops from the Roman Empire and launched the Second Battle of Sabbatation.
However, this huge expedition ended in an extremely ridiculous way.
Caesar was passing through the Land of Stars and Moon under the escort of his general's guard, when he was suddenly attacked by a large Han Chang Yilang who was on guard.
Although the Han people were an agrarian nation, they had been at war with the Huns for hundreds of years and had extremely high combat literacy.
After the Xiongnu moved westward, the Han cavalry galloped on the plateau plain of tens of thousands of miles between the Green Ridge and Taixifeng, and their combat power far exceeded the level of the agricultural civilization cavalry.
The combination of high-quality iron tools, the discipline peculiar to the farming people, and the stimulation of military titles created a cavalry that could sweep away the nomads.
Although the Roman Empire was strong, the number of cavalry was small and the combat power was low.
There is even a legend that the Roman cavalry was used to escape.
Although the cavalry in Caesar's general's guard was the best in the Roman army, it was still vulnerable in front of the battle-hardened Changyilang.
After a few rounds of charges, the general's guard was completely routed.
Caesar, who had just succeeded to the throne, was shot by a stray arrow from nowhere and died.
The military marquis who completed this great victory was named Jingmei, and his background was extremely low.
Jingmei cut off Caesar's head and sent it to Han Zeng's tent along with the captives, and after embalming, he was sent to Chang'an City.
There were already many factions within the Roman Republic, and the leaders of the leading armies learned of Caesar's death, and they led their troops to retreat and compete for the position of consul.
This huge country was suddenly plunged into chaos.
At this time, the remnants of the Huns, who had fled from the north of Anxibei to Europa, launched a westward expedition, forcing the barbarians on the western border of Rome to move west in advance to attack its borders.
The Roman Republic, which had lost a large number of Roman veterans and was mired in civil war, was simply powerless to withstand the invasion of the barbarians and the Huns.
In the end, he had to recruit some barbarians and use them to resist other barbarians.
In this way, the decline of Rome came earlier than the original timeline.
At this point, the eastward expansion of the Roman Empire came to a complete standstill, and there was no longer time to take care of the rest of the empire.
Liu He immediately issued an edict to set up a resting capital in Taixi feudalism and a Central Asian capital in Lan's city.
Changing the land and returning to the stream, garrisoning the tuntian, relocating the Hu people, filling the Han people, and promoting Neo-Confucianism...... All the processes are well understood.
At this point, the extraterritorial territory controlled by the Han Dynasty doubled, and it controlled the important transportation arteries of the Eurasian continent.
To completely digest this large piece of land, the time required is probably a hundred years.
But for the Chinese nation, once it starts, it will never stop.
In this vast land, those seemingly powerful and warlike nations are too primitive in front of the Han Dynasty.
There is no complete state administrative system, no unified ideological system, no cohesive spiritual core, and no sufficiently high productivity......
In this case, it is impossible to reach the expansion footsteps of the Great Han.
If Liu He had come to this world a little later, religion would have appeared in Central Asia, West Asia, and Europa, and the Han might have encountered some obstacles.
However, at this time, religion was still in its infancy, and it was not enough to unite the various peoples who were scattered in the sand.
This is the best opportunity for Dahan to expand.
In the twelfth year of Dingxin, the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of Rest and the Protectorate of Central Asia has become increasingly stable, and the Eurasian continent has entered a new page.
While Dahan made remarkable progress on the mainland, good news also came from the sea.
On the third day of March in the twelfth year of Dingxin, on the day of the Shangsi Festival, the wind and the sun were beautiful.
Under the blowing of the warm and gentle southeast monsoon, three dilapidated Penglai sailing ships quietly sailed into the port of Quanzhou.
The shipwrights at the port recognized the Han flag and stamp on the ship at a glance.
This is a year and a half ago, the sailing ship that set out in search of America and belongs to the Higashifuso Company.
The whole fleet had seven ships when it had set out, but now only three had returned, and they were so dilapidated that even the sails had been patched.
But the people who had gathered at the pier were particularly excited, and they seemed to have heard good news.
These three sailing ships are the three sailing ships that have been on the ocean for the longest time. After sailing on the vast ocean for so long, there must be good news.
Sure enough, after the ragged, bald and thin sailors rushed off the ship, the news that the big man had been waiting for for more than ten years spread like an explosion.
America was discovered.
