sweeping the world

Chapter 1039 Great doubts

With rewards for meritorious deeds, Liu Shen became a military lord, and the number of people under his command was increased to not 500, but to 300.

Among the 300 people, the number of riflemen is [-], the rest are cold weapons, and there are even [-] cavalry. The special advantages of status can be seen at a glance.

The soldiers who don't know Liu Shen's identity are not unreasonable about Liu Shen's promotion and the irrationality of the troops under his command. After the appeal, the answer they get is that they will be reviewed, but they haven't received a positive reply for a long time. It's just that someone will conceal it afterwards. The explanation is that Liu Shen is extremely important to the military, and Liu Shen's promotion will not affect the rest of the meritorious people who should be promoted and rewarded, and so on.

No one's credit has been embezzled, the promotion that should have been obtained is not missing at all, and the distribution of spoils is not missing at all. The knots in the hearts of those who appealed are not so easy to get rid of, but no one made a fuss.

The world is an incomparable reality, and there is no such thing as a privileged class. It is just that the privileged class should not erode the rights and interests of ordinary people too much when exercising their privileges. The society is basically willing to tolerate it.

The Han Empire did not block the channels for the capable to ascend, and gave ordinary people more than one path to ascend. As long as the path of ascent is not blocked, no ordinary person is willing to go up to something more. Make meritorious deeds and make yourself a privileged class.

What's more, the Han Empire clearly put the privileges of the nobles on the surface, but in fact, it is rare for some bullshit to turn the stove over.

Liu Shen accepted the troops of the headquarters, and some officers under his command were naturally promoted.

For example, Xu Guang is one of the special status because of enough credit, after all, his father is the current general, the No. 1 military officer of this dynasty, and was promoted to be Sima of another department.

Sima Biebu is the adjutant of the military marquis, and he is also a military judge. To some extent, the administrative rank is only one level lower than that of the military marquis, but some authority is greater than that of the military marquis, such as the right to exercise military law.

According to Ji Hai's merits and identity background, after several battles were fought, and then the army was expanded, it was a matter of course that he was promoted to be the corps leader.

But, Xu Guang directly promoted Ji Hai's position as corporal commander, and even used the power of other ministers to settle accounts after the fall.

"A family friend, this is a family friend!" Ji Hai was beaten down by the [-]th army stick, and his muscles and bones were not injured, but the flesh on his butt was smashed: "I didn't offend Lao Xu, our Lao Ji family I haven't provoked their old Xu's family. Why is that?"

Cai Hao was applying medicine to Ji Hai, and slapped Ji Hai's buttocks, causing Ji Hai to let out a scream, and said: "I will break your mouth. If you have to deal with it in wartime, you will be pulled out and killed directly. Forbearance until now, only giving twenty army sticks is quite a face."

"You have a broken mouth, but you didn't yell indiscriminately, and it didn't affect the battle." Ji Hai was stubborn, and he knew that if he wasn't Ji Chang's son, he might have been killed. If he wasn't shot during the war, Qiu In the end, it won't be just twenty army sticks: "In the future, just don't worry about it..."

This group of people, Lao Tzu is either a noble or a high-ranking official, or an ordinary person who comes from the imperial guards, there is really no ordinary person in the true sense.

Their responsibility is not to go to the battlefield to kill many enemies, but to ensure Liu Shen's safety is the first task, and it can be said that it is the only task.

It might sound ugly, but the fact is that the command team of Anxi Protectorate would rather bury all the soldiers than Liu Shen die on the battlefield.

What's more, some people in the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion wanted to let Liu Shen "play" more happily, and hoped that serving this "young master" well could pave the way for their future.

It is unavoidable that they treat Liu Shen with impure thoughts. No one will really ignore Liu Shen's identity, and they will not let it go if they can impress Liu Shen.

In fact, it is a brain problem to really regard Liu Shen as an ordinary person, and it is a big problem that has been repeatedly caught by the door.

"Are those Romans cooperating?" Liu Shen was looking at the list, mainly remembering the names and some characteristics of the officers under his command: "It is necessary to reorganize after breaking up, so there should be no trouble."

Xu Guang was also looking at the list, but he was looking at the Romans, and said: "Three thousand and six Romans, 160 and 320 were born in the traditional aristocracy, [-] were born in that parliament, and the rest are A citizen from Asia Minor."

There was an aristocratic class in Rome, but there was no division of titles for the aristocratic class.Their so-called traditional aristocrats generally mean that the family has been managed by several generations and has been recognized as the aristocratic class for at least two generations.

The parliament is actually the Senate, and the members of the Roman Senate are nobles, but most of the members belong to the newly promoted nobles, and those traditional nobles who have been in business for several generations are nobles, but there is a distinction between old and new.

"The east and west of Rome are in a state of autonomy. Their Augustus can really command those in the east. The nobles in the west don't buy Augustus' account." Liu Shen didn't know much about Rome. The main thing is that Liu Yan has been telling him to broaden his horizons: "The group of Romans who mixed them up from the East and the West, and tilted their treatment towards the West."

Xu Guang was already doing that.

Rome itself has contradictions between the East and the West, and it must be used, and it will even create contradictions for them, so that the Romans cannot achieve sincere unity.

"They are generally very cooperative..." Xu Guang frowned and continued, "What puzzles me is that they are too cooperative."

The Romans offered to accept employment to help the Han Empire fight. Whether you know Rome or not, this will definitely cause confusion and doubts.

Li Kuangzheng, as the protectorate, needs to improve his reputation. Selectively selecting a group of people for publicity is a must.

In addition, the national war belongs to the national war, but the place of decisive victory is not only on the battlefield.

This time, even if the Romans did not take the initiative to seek refuge, Li Kuang would create something, either making a fuss about the Romans or the Persians, trying to disintegrate the anti-Han axis. They are born dirty.

Li Kuangyou met Palles in person, and after some conversation and observation, he was noncommittal to some of Palles' explanations. In fact, he had doubts about the "enthusiasm" of the Romans. Otherwise, Liu Shen's direct subordinates would not have increased. The army even arranged [-] troops to keep an eye on Liu Shen's situation at all times.

"It's too cooperative." Liu Shen knew that the Romans had a tradition of using someone's money to work for their lives. Simply put, since the chaos of military officials occurred in Rome, the morals of the army no longer exist.He smiled and said: "What should be paid attention to must be paid attention to, but don't ruin the good situation because of suspicion."

Xu Guang agreed, but made up his mind to keep an eye on the Romans all the time.

The Anxi Protectorate House incorporated the Romans, and it certainly would not be in the form of employment, and they would not even pay a copper coin.

Song Ping, the governor of Anxi's Protectorate, replied to those Roman nobles that they needed to make atonement for the Han Empire, and waited for the atonement for their sins before putting the employment on the agenda.

The group of Roman nobles were not too arrogant. After asking for the treatment that nobles should receive, they didn't make any noise, but instead helped the Han Empire to explain to ordinary Roman citizens.

More than 3000 Romans can be stabilized. The result of the discussion in the Anxi Protectorate is that the group of Roman nobles are very knowledgeable.

"I'm a bit confused." Xu Guang really couldn't understand: "Since Rome doesn't think it's a good option to be an enemy of the big Han, how could it take the lead in forming an anti-Han axis with the Persians? They are the second giants of that axis." One, it doesn’t make sense to act like that immediately after losing a battle. If you do that, where is Rome’s national reputation?”

Liu Shen had thought about it, but he didn't understand what the Romans were doing.

If Rome is unwilling to fight against the Han Empire, given the fact that Rome is far to the west of the world island, even if the Han Empire wants to go to war with Rome, a cross-sea expedition is not worth the candle. The area defeated the Romans, did it really occupy the land?
How much power would the Han Empire use to defend an enclave that was tens of thousands of miles away and was absolutely weak?It is obviously an extremely irrational behavior to spend so much national money every year and how many soldiers' lives are consumed in the enclave at the same time.

It stands to reason that Rome should not be so blatantly becoming the second giant of the anti-Han axis. Even if the Romans believe that the Han Empire is a threat, and that the Han Empire will destroy Rome one day, their wisest approach should be to support it secretly. An anti-Han axis dominated by Persians.

Rome secretly supported the Persian-dominated anti-Han axis, and the Han Empire fell into the status quo of being enemies all over the world. It is likely that the Han Empire knew that the Romans were making small moves behind their backs, but as long as the Han Empire is a rational country, it should turn a blind eye Listen without hearing, lest the Romans actually enter in person.

The problem is that the Romans couldn't wait to enter the arena, and sent troops to the east to fight the Han army, but after the failure, they had no integrity at all?

"Is it possible that they were willing to serve because they were worried about being murdered by all the big men?" After thinking about it, Liu Shen seemed to be the only explanation?He said: "In the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, the captured Jie people must be killed. In the subsequent battles on the grassland, there were also large-scale murders..."

Xu Guang didn't know how to respond.

That's right, the Han Empire has a dark history of killing captives more than once, especially killing a race of more than 150 million people almost completely, leaving only a special person as an exhibit.

If the Han people only wiped out the Jie tribe, the enemy who raged in the Central Plains, the countries would still feel that the Han people had revenge and complaints. The key is that the Han people wiped out not only the Jie tribe, but also wiped out all the Xianbei, Various Qiang ethnic groups and various ethnic groups in the peninsula.

Even, the Han people ran across the sea to the Asan Continent, putting on a domineering appearance that whoever provokes Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu must beat him to death.

Who is not afraid of such Han people?Especially the Han people really have the ability to destroy the world.

"I asked some old and new Roman nobles." Xu Guang didn't know whether he should smile bitterly: "They said that the reason why they went to war with the big man was that the big man was too domineering. Rome suffered a humiliation never seen in thousands of years. He was not defeated on the battlefield and was ceded."

Liu Shen really knew how many ports and inland land the Han Empire had asked Rome to lease. From the perspective of the Romans, it was indeed aggrieved enough.

"Persian Sassanid was frightened by the big man's invasion of the Hunnitt territory last time." Xu Guang really smiled bitterly this time: "Maybe it's not just the battle of Hunnitt. The big man has completely wiped out all the troops except for the west. Outside threats, the only way to expand is to the west. In the eyes of the Persians, the Dahan is a country with endless ambitions, and they believe that as long as Hunnit and Xigaoche are eliminated, the Dahan will definitely go to war against them."

Liu Shen understood in seconds, but what he uttered was not a wry smile, but a proud smile from the heart.

"It's not..." Xu Guang is still very willing to analyze the situation without Liu Shen, why did it lead to the current situation: "The big man just decided to stop using troops abroad and concentrate on developing the country. The reform of the army has also been put on the agenda. Seven years to redress and reform all standing armies into firearms divisions."

"So they think that instead of waiting for the big man to solve the internal affairs, it is better to take the initiative?" Liu Shen's understanding is that.He touched the pistol at his waist subconsciously, and continued: "In addition, they know the power of firearms, and they have been trying to get them but failed. They are afraid that the army of big men will use firearms in an all-round way, so they can only do it first."

"Your Highness is right." Xu Guang was not surprised by Liu Shen's intelligence at all: "Now the big man is only using more than 3000 firearms troops, and the opponent's more than 20 coalition forces have no resistance on the frontal battlefield. , it can be seen that they are still very foresight.”

"You can't say that..." The pride on Liu Shen's face deepened a bit, not in modesty, and said: "There are more than 20 coalition troops, the Roman legion is only about [-], and the Persian Eastern administrative troops are less than [-]. The rest are all Miscellaneous soldiers of all races."

Xu Guang has his own views on the military. He knows exactly what the coalition army is. The more forces the coalition army forms, the more chaotic the command system will be. The quality of the soldiers is even more uneven. It's just that there are a lot of people.

"The follow-up reinforcements will catch up, and we will invade the Hunnites." Liu Shen has his own basic judgment: "After this fiasco, it is completely impossible for the Hunsnites to stop us, and the front will soon advance to the Sasanian frontier.”

"The next step is the marching state." What Xu Guang wanted to say was: "Your Highness is responsible for restraining and supervising the Roman slave soldiers, so you have to be cautious."

"Let's call me Junhou." Liu Shen liked the status of Junhou very much, and thought that the status of Junhou was exchanged for his merits: "You are the Sima of another department, so you need to worry more."

Xu Guang naturally agreed, and promised that the decision would definitely keep an eye on those Romans.
