sweeping the world

Chapter 982

Of course, Rome also has high and low status, but it has not established a system of titles.

Rome, which does not have a title system, is considered to be aristocrats and has different rules from other countries. A member of the Senate is a nobleman, and the generals of the army are nobles. They can be nobles even if they are rich.

Because there is no system of knighthood, whether one is a noble in Rome depends entirely on strength, that is, whether one has money, how many private troops, and then how much prestige, which constitutes the basis for being recognized as a noble.

Then this creates a very special phenomenon, one moment a certain guy may be nothing, the next moment this guy does a sensational event, he gains fame, digs gold mines, employs a large number of warriors with gold, and has The basic condition for becoming an aristocrat, what is lacking is recognition.

In the history of Rome, there were gladiators who turned into Augustus because Rome lacked a strict class system.The other is a kind of heroic complex of the Romans, as long as the reputation is enough, they have the foundation for everything to be possible.

"We really need a ladder-style knighthood system!" Julian said extremely seriously: "I found that the reason why the Han people were able to restore their country in a short period of time, and the people's livelihood in the country was worrying, but they were able to sweep the neighboring countries was because of their [-] years old. Waiting Lord is driving!"

From the perspective of Wei Guoren, the Han Empire is a country with distinct classes. The higher the title, the better the treatment and benefits. Many things cannot be done without a high enough title.

While the Han Empire attached great importance to titles, it did not block the way for ordinary people to obtain titles. On the contrary, there were many ways to obtain titles.

For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly the best choice to go to the battlefield to establish military exploits to obtain titles. They want to gain profits and get title rewards for military exploits. The country wants to obtain land, population and resources, forming a perfect of interaction.

"We have a citizenship system." Flavis thought for a while and said, "Perhaps we can suggest that Augustus implement a more complete knighthood system on the basis of the citizenship system."

"The twentieth rank of the Han Empire is ready-made." Julian didn't show any embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Just copy it."

Flavis thought more.

The twentieth rank of the Han Empire is indeed ready-made, and there is no trouble in seeing the application of the Han people, but can Rome really copy it completely?
"Each level of their titles has the same rewards and social treatment." Flavis paused before continuing: "For example, a duke can get a hundred acres of land and a servant, and each level increases the land and related Treatment. Rome...has so much land for rewards?"

Although Rome's current territory has shrunk a bit compared to before, it is not small.

The key is that most of the land in Rome is in private hands, the land held by the state is not too much, and the land held by the state does not seem to be very good.

Julian obviously had thought about it a long time ago, and said: "There is no land, you can go and fight it."

Flavis smiled and said nothing more.

Land mergers can happen in any country with farming habits. If there is any country that is the most serious, there is no doubt that it happened in Rome.

The nobles of Rome liked to build manors very much. Usually, the land of a manor was "acres" as the basic unit. In addition to the necessary rest places, a larger manor could cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of hectares just for a hunting ground.

It was just a manor for fun, not like the Han people who built a manor would have to leave land for farming in addition to playing, which is equivalent to the Roman manor with only inputs and no output.

"Isn't it necessary to obtain a knighthood after the establishment of the knighthood system?" Julian's opinion was that apart from the official position, he did not recognize the previous acquiescence of the noble status, but he did not dare to say it clearly. Sis II discussed behind closed doors.He said with a smile: "The current Roman citizens seem to be two types of people from the former Roman citizens. They should be given motivation again."

The history of the existence of Roman citizens is very long, almost accompanied by the ups and downs of the whole of Rome.

The former Roman citizens attached great importance to honor and the pursuit of glory, but the Roman citizens after Octavian are evolving in the direction of slackers. They usually wait for relief when they don’t do anything, and hide when they can when the army needs soldiers.

When the Constantine family fell into a civil war, it directly broke the rule that the Roman Legion only recruited citizens as regular soldiers. A large number of people who were not Roman citizens joined the army, and even "foreigners" who were not Romans began to pour into the army.

There was no way around that, mainly because most of the current Roman citizens had become useless. If you want the army to have combat effectiveness, of course you can't abide by the rules that are no longer suitable. Naturally, whoever is suitable can be your soldier.

It was precisely the Constantine family who broke the rule that only Roman citizens could enter the Roman legion as regular soldiers. Some conservative nobles had a worse impression of the Constantine family, and even Roman society also felt repulsive towards the Constantine family.

Waste will never admit that they are waste, they will only see things that belonged to them being invaded, even if they are too waste to enjoy (bear) all kinds of things that should belong to them, they are not willing to be replaced by others. It will only generate hatred for the reformers, who dare to deprive them of those things that belonged only to them.

Julian wondered if Constantius II had discovered that he was not sitting on the throne of Augustus, but on a volcanic crater that could erupt at any time.

Rome completely copied the twentieth rank system of the Han Empire, which could inject a strong impetus into Rome, which would inevitably usher in a new round of expansion for Rome.

For the Constantine family, expansion is only incidental, and their ability to cultivate a large group of followers is the top priority.

The truth couldn't be simpler. What kind of identities were those people before? Except for very few rewards from the Constantine family, most of the rest had nothing from the Constantine family at all.It means that the Constantine family has no favors at all for the vast majority of people under the rule, and even encroached on their interests, which attracted their hostility.

Julian learned a lot when he came to the Han Empire, including that the ruling family must give favors or benefits to the group under the rule, otherwise the rule will not be reliable at all, let alone stable.

"Your Highness will stay in the northern border?" Julian spoke to Liu Shen, and asked in surprise: "With your identity, can you stay in the border for a long time?"

Liu Shen knew early on that he would stay in the Captain's Department of Junji Mountain, so he didn't have any resentment about it, and was even very happy.

Julian was surprised because he wondered how the Han emperor would keep his first heir to the throne away from the center, and chose a war zone.

Any Roman dreamed of being able to settle in Rome, and people with a certain status dreamed of squeezing into various small circles in Rome day and night. The aristocratic class who lived in Rome would never leave Rome unless it was a last resort.

Of course, the political center of the Romans has now been replaced by Constantinople, but the thinking has not changed, but the attachment to Rome has been replaced by Constantinople.

Not only the Romans, in fact, people in any country have the same obsession. Ordinary people think that being able to live in the political center of the country is a powerful and face-saving thing, while ambitious people know that only when they are in the country Political centers have more opportunities.

However, Han people with a little bit of ambition would choose to stay in Chang'an no matter how hard they were, and they persisted in the hope that one day they would be appreciated by dignitaries.

In fact, this is also the case. There are really too many dignitaries in the political center of the country, and there are too many opportunities for people with political aspirations to seek appreciation.

After hearing the news, Kexias who came over knew that Liu Shen would stay in Junji Mountain's lieutenant's department, but also showed a surprised expression, and even had a trace of panic.

Junji Mountain is located in the northwestern territory of the Han Empire, continuing to the northwest is Xigaoche, and going southwest is the Western Region.

Whether it was before or now, the strategic position of such a place is very important, otherwise the Han Empire would not have set up a school captain department.

There are not many school lieutenants in the Han Empire, and each school lieutenant has a very special existence, not only for military value, but also for its strong political status.

Due to repeated changes in the current situation, the Captain's Department has been abolished to only two, one is the Junji Mountain Captain's Department, and the other is the Xing'anling Captain's Department in the northeast.

The original Pingman Xiaowei Department was abolished, and the Han Empire completely integrated the Indochina Peninsula and established the Annan Protectorate.The person who served as the guardian was the former captain Si Hongzhuang of the Pingman Captain's Department, but now he has become Annan's governor, that is, like a rocket, he has changed from a captain to a general with the same status as Zhonglang. Military minister.

At the same time, plans were also made for the occupied area of ​​Asan Continent, and the Tianzhu Protectorate was established, with Qian Jiantong as the first protector.

The name of the Protectorate of the Western Regions was changed to the Protectorate of Anxi, and Li Kuang was still the protector.

Zhanghai (South China Sea) and the surrounding islands were unified into the Nanyang Protectorate, and Fu Wei served as the Nanyang Protector.

In the 14th year of Yuanshuo, the Han Empire built three new Protectorate Houses, and together with the Protectorate House in Anxi, which was renamed from the Protectorate House in the Western Regions, a total of four Protectorate Houses were established.

This action of the Han Empire has attracted widespread attention, especially the Persian Sasanian dare not ignore it at all.

"Is the Captain's Department of Junji Mountain where you are under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Dufu?" Xias had the courage to ask, and when he saw Liu Shen looked at him with weird eyes, he said with a smile: " Curious, just curious, nothing else."

Although the Junjishan Captain's Department is located in the northwest, it has not been classified under the Anxi Dufu system, and is an independent "war zone".

"Did the Han Empire divide the Protectorate by region?" Julian was not a Persian, so he didn't feel too much urgency about the actions of the Han Empire: "Then, is there an Anbei Protectorate in the northern border, and an Anbei Protectorate in the east?" Dongdu Protectorate?"

There is no Anbei Protectorate and Anton Protectorate.

The Han Empire established counties and counties directly on the grasslands, which meant that the scope of the counties was much larger than the hinterland, and was unified under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.

Grasslands are already recovering animal husbandry. Because of the development of the wool textile industry, the Han people no longer regard grasslands as tasteless, and even with the huge profits generated by wool spinning, I don’t know how many eyes are on the grasslands, wanting to enter the market and make a fortune.

In the Northeast, the Han Empire was building a grain-producing area, so it must be directly under the central government. It was because of this that the Xing'anling Xiaowei Department was established, and the location chosen was also to defend the grain-producing area.

Whether it's the Romans or the Persians, they have more or less figured out the naming habits of the Han people. Those newly established Protectorate Houses use "An", so it's about consolidation.

If one day the Anxi Protectorate became the Zhengxi Shogunate, the Persians should understand that the Han Empire began to expand westward.

Now Xeas is extremely eager to know if there are any new changes in the Anxi Protectorate. For example, although the administrative level of the Western Region Protectorate was high, the Western Region Protectorate only had a regular establishment of a standing army.He really wanted to know if the Han Empire would increase its staffing after changing its name to Anxi Protectorate.

Don't say that Liu Shen didn't know about this, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell Xeas.

Of course, Xeas's IQ is still online, even if he knew that Liu Shen was young, he would not treat Liu Shen as a fool and ask Liu Shen those things.

The nations, including the Persians, will soon know what they can know.

The establishment of the Protectorate by the Han Empire this time has a very detailed plan, and has its own arrangements for the Protectorate in different regions.

Like Nanyang Protectorate.The environment of this place is destined that the army will not be the main force, but the fleet can take on the role of the main force, so the navy is the main configuration.

As Fu Wei, the protector of the Nanyang Protectorate, what he needs to do is to continue to explore the ocean. The first task is to quickly find a continent that Liu Yan calls Australia.

As the Persians feared, the Anxi Governor's Mansion increased from one standing army to two. In particular, the central government gave Governor Li Kuang the right to recruit troops within the jurisdiction during the war.

For a long period of time to come, the two standing armies led by Li Kuang will not do nothing. They will continue to carry out military operations against Hunnit, and at the same time will not stop exploring and reconnaissance to the west.

Li Kuang was clearly informed that one of the two standing armies of the Anxi Protectorate Mansion would be rotated every two years. The purpose was naturally to keep the standing army familiar with the war.He also knew that not only the Anxi Protectorate, but also the standing troops in all theaters were rotated every two years.

The Tianzhu Protectorate Mansion was equipped with three standing armies, which was the largest among all the Protectorate Mansions.

Qian Jiantong took the position of the Chief Protector of the Tianzhu Protectorate Mansion after he fought hard, all because he knew that among the several Protectorate Mansions, only the Tianzhu Protectorate Mansion would remain relatively "vigorous".
