Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Unexpectedly, Amias took his words and said: "That's right. Although the word Roman emperor is translated into the language of the Liang Kingdom, it is also called the Emperor, but it is very different from the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom. One is his The power is very small compared to the Liang Emperor, and the second is that there is no statutory hereditary, that is, there is no law that only people with direct blood relationship are eligible to inherit the throne."

Feng Yu thought about it, and wanted to be quiet but couldn't help but said: "Uh... the princess's words are basically correct. There are only a few differences. In fact, in Liang Guo, only those who are directly related to the paternal line are eligible to inherit the throne. So Once someone who is not like this inherits the throne, the country will not be the same country in terms of legal system, so as long as the emperor's surname changes, the country's name will definitely change."

Amias sighed again: "It's better to have your political system in the East. If our Roman government is also like this, we won't be in decline like it is today."

Feng Yu secretly thought that if Rome and the East were the same political system, it might not exist now, at least it would not be called Rome.I don't have to work hard to implement my plan.That's really the case, I have already directly sent my troops to attack Europa from the north and the south, conquering Rome like conquering Guishuang Sassan, and dominating the world.The reason why I don't do this now is because that would not be too much to conquer tens of millions of square miles of land and tens of millions of people, and it has no practical significance.After a hundred years of my life, the huge empire will fall apart sooner or later.

He immediately responded: "Your Highness, these two regimes have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there is no way to distinguish between them."

Amias snorted coldly and said, "Maybe the early Roman city-states and the six to seven hundred years of expansion. This kind of decentralization helped the growth of the Roman Empire. Today, the Roman Empire has a territory of thousands of miles and a population of Tens of millions, hundreds of races. It stands to reason that barbarians and foreigners should be more intimidated by the power of the empire, but the reality is just the opposite. You know the invasion of the empire by the former Sassanid and Bedouin , In addition, there are Celts and Germans who harass and plunder from time to time. Why is this so? That is because the seemingly powerful empire is still very strong, but it is actually a mess. I don’t even need foreign enemies , it will all collapse!"

Chapter 1016: Secretly Observing

Feng Yu deliberately pretended to be stunned and said to Amias: "Your Highness, this statement is too serious. From what I have seen along the way, the Roman Empire has a vast territory, strong troops, and prosperous cities and towns everywhere. How could it be as you said? Is it so unbearable that foreign enemies collapse at the first touch? Of course, there was a rebellion in the empire before, and there were unfaithful and unfilial people like Macrinus, but in the end it was put down by His Majesty, and the Syrian territory that was once occupied by the Sasanian Empire was recovered. Province."

Amias smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency, all you see are appearances. The strong soldiers and horses you see are indeed strong and strong, but haven't you noticed that the proportion of orthodox Latin Romans among those generals is very small? Nobles, that is, orthodox Roman citizens, seldom serve in the army. Soldiers are mostly served by non-Latin Roman citizens or barbarian mercenaries. In the eyes of these soldiers, their trustworthiness can bring them benefits Officials are far more important than Rome, and of course they are more important than the Roman emperor. Therefore, the consuls of the large armies and the governors of the provinces are actually the kings who dominate one side. But the Roman emperor and the decrees of the Senate even It is difficult to get out. The judge's judgment is basically equivalent to waste paper in the eyes of the provincial governors and the consuls of the large army stationed abroad."

Feng Yu nodded thoughtfully.After taking a sip of his drink, Amiyas continued: "The prosperity of the town you see is also an illusion. In fact, there are a lot of barren fields on one side, and a lot of idle free people on the other. If things go on like this, riots will definitely follow. And once a civil strife occurs, Rome can only rely on the consuls of the large legions and the governors of the provinces to counter the rebellion. This will increase their authority in the army and weaken the power of the city of Rome. In addition, in In the city of Rome, the various forces are also intriguing."

When Amiyas said this, he suddenly stopped talking, then stared at Feng Yu and said, "Do you know why I told you this?"

Although Feng Yu guessed something in his heart, he still shook his head.Amiyas's expression became serious, and he continued:

"Now the Roman Empire is like a plate of loose sand, and it needs His Majesty the Emperor to use strong means to re-condense the sand. Otherwise, Rome will be in serious trouble in a short period of ten years or a long period of more than a hundred years. But my son Alexander wants to have such a If you want to be powerful, you must have someone who can be trusted and capable and who has military power to support him. I hope you are one of them."

Feng Yu also said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have sworn to my god Taishang Laojun to be loyal to the Roman Empire forever. I also swore to fight for the Roman Empire at the inauguration ceremony of the legion commander."

Amias still said with a sullen face: "No, what I mean is that I hope you will be loyal to Alexander, not the Roman Empire..."

Amias paused when he said this, and said in the second half of the sentence, "Actually, I just want Alexander to be like Feng Yu, the founding monarch of your Liang Kingdom. Let our family become a hereditary Roman royal family. That is to say, let Rome's political system is restructured like that of Liang. This is not for our family and Alexander, but for Rome."

But no matter who Feng Yu was, even if she swallowed back the blunt words, Feng Yu still understood her intentions.I thought to myself, even if I want to help your son become an emperor like the Eastern Emperor, your son Alexander is not that material, he is still a pure boy at the age of 20.How could it be possible to fight against other scheming and dark people.But he still said perfunctorily:

"That's natural. His Majesty Alexander is the emperor of Rome and the first citizen. To be loyal to His Majesty Alexander is to be loyal to Rome."

After hearing Feng Yu's words, Amiyas felt a strange feeling in his heart.These words were not what she wanted to hear, but they were pleasing to her ears.She pondered for a moment before responding: "It would be great if every Roman thought like you. It's a pity that the Romans are different from you Orientals and don't have this correct understanding."

At this moment, Amias felt that it was not yet ripe to elaborate further.So he said goodbye to Feng Yu with an excuse: "I still have a few friends today, and I can't talk with you anymore. I hope to have a chance to talk in detail in the future."

Feng Yu understood what she meant, and hurriedly bid her farewell and left.

After half an hour, Feng Yu returned to the small hotel.He first asked Simmons if the thousand gold coins were ready.After getting an affirmative answer, he said to Dian Qing and others: "We are going to leave Rome immediately and go to Milan. You send someone to the Cedar Hotel and inform our people there to get ready too."

At this time, John Lawrence appeared in front of Feng Yu, suddenly knelt down to Feng Yu on one knee, and said his oath of allegiance to Feng Yu.Feng Yu quickly wanted to help him up, but he asked Simmons, "Why, you haven't proved the deed and release to him?"

John quickly said: "My lord, although I am no longer a slave, it does not prevent me from becoming your loyal servant according to the tradition of our Germanic tribe. This is different from a slave...but I will still obey..."

John didn't know how to express himself clearly, and was blushing anxiously.Feng Yu nodded and said: "I understand. This is a voluntary and conditional loyalty. I can't do whatever I want with you. This oath is a contract between us, not a contract with others who buy and sell you as goods .”

Seeing that Feng Yu understood what he meant, John grinned happily.

Three days later, Feng Yu and his party finally left Rome and headed for Milan in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula.At the same time, a few people who looked like passers-by watched their backs leave, and hurried to the official office of the tribune.

In the tribune's office, Quintus had already been waiting here.After those people came to stand in front of him, he asked, "How is it? Is there anything unusual about their behavior?"

"Report Your Excellency the Tribune. Since they stayed at the Cedar Hotel and left the city of Rome, although there have been many disturbances during the period, and even made things known to the entire city of Rome. But their behavior is generally normal. Some of them and The two slaves rescued by them left the Cedar Inn and lived in a remote small hotel to avoid the harassment of idlers and others."

"The cedar hotel and this small hotel, have you checked their details?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency the Tribune, we checked immediately, and there was nothing suspicious at all. These two stores have been open for several years. The backer of the Cedar Hotel in the city is Prosecutor Proseus, and Proseus also There is a relationship. The owner of the small hotel is an exiled Guishuang nobleman who has lived in Rome for many years."

Quintus nodded and said, "You just said that there is basically no problem, that is to say, there are still some abnormalities? Tell me..."

Chapter 1017

Quintus' subordinates said: "The only thing that makes me wonder is where did their thousand gold coins come from? After they moved to that small hotel, no one interacted with them. But yesterday, some of them gave One thousand gold coins were sent to the arena."

Quintus changed his expression slightly and said, "This is a major doubt, why are you still downplaying it so lightly?"

The man hurriedly said: "Although no one interacted with them. But Feng Hu and his two followers went to the consul's office before and stayed there for a long time. We guessed that maybe the thousand gold coins came from His Majesty Alexander. Arrived."

Quintus nodded and said: "That's right, they need to go to the Consul's Office, where Feng Hu will be officially appointed as the head of the Milan Legion. I will find an appropriate opportunity to ask Alexander about this."

Quintus said this on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart--it is not easy to ask Alexander such a question.

……

After five or six days of marching, Feng Yu once again saw the outline of the snow-capped Alps.At the same time, the city walls of Milan City also appeared in their sight.

Dian Qing pointed to the city wall and said, "That should be the city of Milan. Why didn't the magistrate send someone to pick it up?"

At this time, there were several snorts and hooves of horses from the corner of the road.After a while, several Roman cavalrymen on tall horses turned out from behind a grove that blocked Feng Yu and others' sight.

Of course, they also saw Feng Yu and the others, and rushed over immediately, and asked anxiously: "May I ask, are you accompanying His Excellency Feng Hu, the new head of the Milan Legion?"

"I am Feng Hu," Feng Yu responded immediately.One of the Roman generals, who looked like a centurion, jumped off his horse and saluted Feng Yu and said: "We are the generals of the Milan Legion. We have been notified by Rome a few days ago and have been waiting for you to take up the post. It is estimated that Your Excellency the General will be here for a few days, so he will be waiting here all the time."

Feng Yu waved his hand calmly and said: "Lead the way." A few riders then turned their horses and led the way.Only then did Feng Yu and others realize that after turning this corner, the road diverged in two.One leads to the city of Milan, but the other does not know where it leads.The few Roman soldiers leading the way ahead went up the fork in the back.

Feng Yu immediately asked: "What? Isn't the barracks in the city of Milan?"

Those soldiers immediately replied: "Milan City is a small city, and there is no room for a whole army of soldiers. Moreover, the local tribunes of Milan City also refused to set up a military camp in the city. So our military camp is ten miles outside the city."

After a while, Feng Yu and others finally entered the barracks of the Milan Legion.The reality was far beyond Feng Yu's expectations. In the barracks with very simple facilities, there were only five or six hundred Roman soldiers lined up crookedly to welcome Feng Yu.The weapons in their hands were obviously rusty, and the shields were also obviously old, covered with patches of cowhide.

A Roman general ran forward, raised his hands to Feng Yu and said: "Douglas, the acting head of the No.30 Seventh Legion of the Roman Emperor in Milan, reported to the new head of the legion that all the officers and soldiers of our army welcome the arrival of Your Excellency the General. "

Feng Yu scanned the team back and forth three times with his eyes and said, "Everyone? Are these all the officers and soldiers in the legion?"

"Return to Your Excellency General, all 580 officers and soldiers are here."

Feng Yu wondered: "As far as I know, a reorganized army should have at least 5000 people, and if the auxiliary auxiliary army is counted, it should have a size of tens of thousands. But why is our army only five or six centuries strong? "

Douglas replied truthfully: "Your Excellency, this is because our legion was not long after it was established, and the treasurer's office did not allocate much money. So so far, only these soldiers have been recruited."

Feng Yu thought coldly, after working for a long time, the so-called army commander took over such a mess.At this time, he had already got off the carriage to the ground, walked past these legion officers and soldiers, and looked at each of them one by one.

These Roman soldiers were indeed as Amias said, and quite a few of them did not have typical Latin appearances.Several of them have distinctly Germanic or Celtic features.You know, this is still on the Anning Peninsula, the hinterland of the Roman Empire.If it is in other provinces, the proportion of non-Latinos in the legion should be much higher.

Feng Yu randomly selected one of them and asked, "Where are you from? How did you come to Rome? Why did you become a soldier?"

"Report to the general. I am a Carthaginian. I came to Apennines with my master in my early years, and was later released as a free man by my master. In the era of Caracalla, I was pardoned as a Roman citizen. Naturally, I am a soldier for food, and now I can't find other suitable ones. Either serve as a soldier, or sign a contract with the landowner as a long-term slave peasant. The latter is no different from a slave except that the landlord cannot take the life of the slave peasant at will. Even so, it is difficult to find a landowner who is willing to sign a contract .”

"Then why not rent a piece of land to cultivate? I saw a lot of land listed for lease in the city of Rome."

Hearing Feng Yu's question, many soldiers showed surprised expressions, and one of them said: "General, you must have only come to Rome not long ago. To rent land, the landlord wants real money. So you can only rent from usurers." Many people borrow at high interest rates, but it is difficult to sell the grain they grow at an appropriate price and turn it into gold and silver. In the end, they can only turn themselves into slaves of landlords because of their debts.”

Feng Yu secretly thought that this is the case. Although he has been observing and understanding Rome constantly, he only focuses on the upper structure of Roman society, customs, culture, religion, and the surrounding situation. Instead, he pays little attention to the economic foundation.Because he believes that Rome's economy should not be much different from that of Liang.As long as there are no natural disasters, the problem will not be too big.

He didn't think that there would be problems with Rome's economic foundation, let alone that this problem was different from the crises that had occurred in the past dynasties in the history of Eastern Turkey.Whereas crises in the East were all caused by shortages of agricultural output, the crises here seem to be caused by overproduction of food.

He asked again, "Why, is there so much food in Rome that it can't be eaten? So it can't be sold?"

"It's not that there is too much food to eat, and it's not that it can't be sold. It's just that it can only be sold at a very low price to a few big oligarchic firms that have united."

Feng Yu pondered and said to himself: "So that's the case, so it's all caused by monopoly."

He came to a barbarian soldier again and asked the same question.He thought the barbarian soldier had the same answer, but unexpectedly the other party replied: "I am from the Germanic reservation on the north bank of the Danube River. Why did I become a soldier? Naturally, I want to get ahead and make a fortune!"

Chapter 1018 Barbarian Soldiers in the Legion

After listening to the barbarian soldier's narration, Feng Yu was taken aback for a moment.He remembered the various checks he had made when he crossed the Roman border, and then asked: "The Germanic reservation on the north bank of the Danube? That is, outside the border of the Roman Empire. How did you cross the Roman border? Who approved it?"

The expression of the Germanic barbarian soldier was even weirder than his. He also wondered in his heart why the general sent from above would ask such a strange question, but he still answered patiently: "The chief of our tribe issued a certificate to prove that I am from this tribe. , and came to Rome to serve as a soldier to make money, so naturally the border checkpoints let them go. It has been like this for several generations."

Standing aside, Douglas, the acting regiment commander, looked at Feng Yu's puzzled expression, and quickly pulled Feng Yu aside and explained in a low voice: "Your Excellency, you don't know something. More than 80 years ago, two Germanic tribal alliances on the north bank of the Danube invaded the south bank of the Danube River, and even It once crossed the Alps and threatened the city of Rome. At that time, the Roman Emperor Commodus led his army to go out. After several fierce battles, he finally forced the Germans to reach a peace agreement with Rome. The two sides strictly abide by the Danube River as the border between the two. The north of the Danube River is a Germanic tribe reservation But Germania is also recognized by this treaty as an ally of the Roman Empire, and the common enemy is the Celts. The people of its tribes have the right to enter and leave the Roman border as individuals as long as they have a legitimate purpose. Today, our Roman army is quite More soldiers are obtained in this form."

Feng Yu nodded in thanks and said, "Thank you for your advice." But he secretly thought in his heart that his understanding of Rome is only superficial, and there are many things that he still doesn't know.In addition, he understood better what Amias had said to him in the palace.It appears that the barbarization of the Roman legions was a trend.

After Feng Yu stopped talking for two or three seconds, he said to the commander who was temporarily acting as the commander of the army: "Now, the top priority is to fill the army."

Douglas said: "It's easy, as long as the recruiting list is posted everywhere, more people will come to join the army. The only problem is that we don't have that much money. The financial bureau did not allocate enough money, otherwise the subordinates would have already recruited soldiers." full."

After thinking for a moment, Feng Yu said: "This is not a problem. You just hurry up and recruit soldiers. I will urge my superiors to solve their military salary issue, and it will definitely be resolved."

In fact, Feng Yu has already made up his mind that if the Roman government does not have money to allocate, he will use "private channels" to raise funds for conscription.He believes that Rome in the crisis era is the same as in the last years of the Han Dynasty. If you have soldiers, you will be the grass-headed king. Only with soldiers can you guarantee your basic survival and realize your future ambitions.So in this regard, he will not be stingy.

Feng Yu explained some matters to Douglas, and then ordered him to incorporate Dianqing and Simmons into the army as foreign mercenaries.

Douglas hesitated slightly, because according to Roman law, only citizens, freedmen, and members of "Alliance Allies" like Germania could join the Roman Legion.Although foreigners can also join the legion as mercenaries, they must obtain the approval of the Supreme Consulate.But after Feng Yu showed him a letter from Alexander's mansion, he immediately followed Feng Yu's instructions.The content of the letter was that Alexander agreed to Feng Yu's arbitrary hiring of less than fifty foreign mercenaries,

After Feng Yu finished these, he sent a letter directly to the financial officer's office in the name of the head of the army.The content is naturally urging money.He originally wanted to send a letter to Alexander, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

On the second day, just after dawn, Douglas got up early as usual, ready to start training the more than 500 soldiers.As soon as he arrived at the open space in the barracks, he was stunned. He didn't expect Feng Yu to wake up earlier than him, and was already waiting for him here.

Feng Yu didn't say a word, just made a gesture to indicate that he could start.Douglas asked two of his personal entourage to play the trombone.As the trumpets sounded, Roman soldiers began to rush out of the tents and lined up in the open space.It's just that their movements are still very slow and disorderly in Feng Yu's eyes.

Then they started to practice marching in formation again. Feng Yu knew that this was mainly to train their discipline, and it was not considered military formation training.

When these soldiers finished their morning exercises and started their military formation training after breakfast, Feng Yu discovered the problem and shouted "Wait".When Douglas was wondering why Feng Yu was like this, Feng Yu had already come to a barbarian soldier and asked, "Why are your weapons different from others'?"

It turned out that the rest of the soldiers were equipped with large shields, javelins and short swords as standard.Only these few barbarian soldiers were holding sharp axes and some were holding broadswords, and one or two of them were holding shields, but the very special small round shields were completely different from the large square shields held by the other soldiers nearby.Looking at the armor on their bodies, it is not the ring armor like others, but the chain mail commonly used by barbarian warriors.

Before these barbarian soldiers could speak, Douglas had already explained: "They are from the tribe, and they can hold the weapons they are used to every day and handy, so that the combat effectiveness will be higher."

"Oh? Is this another special regulation in the military regulations?"

"Uh, there is no explicit regulation on this. But everyone... all legions have been established in this way, and it has been like this for seven or eighty years. No one has objected."

Feng Yu shook his head and said: "In this case, this is not allowed in my army. The equipment and armor of the same unit must be unified, and no one can specialize. Let them change into short swords, large shields, javelins... Javelins don't need to be configured for them."

His words were loud, and several barbarian soldiers could hear them clearly.One of them glared and said, "We don't want any specialization, but this small sword and big shield is really difficult to use. If it is not easy to use, how can there be combat power? How can we kill the enemy on the battlefield?"

Feng Yu snorted coldly without giving in: "If you are not comfortable with it, just practice hard until you are proficient!"

The scene was suddenly silent, and a needle could be heard on the ground.Suddenly a barbarian soldier said: "Since this is the case, let's withdraw, let's go to another army that can use our own weapons as soldiers!" He said as he strode out.

Before he took two steps, Feng Yu shouted: "This is in the army, how can you let you come and leave as soon as you say it. You are deserting. According to the Roman military law, you should be beheaded!" He While speaking, he waved his hand towards the barbarian soldier, a black shadow approached him like lightning, and then a flash of light flashed, and the barbarian soldier's head fell to the ground.Several other barbarian soldiers who wanted to follow him stopped hurriedly.

Chapter 1019

The barbarian soldier's headless body fell in a pool of blood, and standing beside him was John Lawrence holding a broadsword.The accident at the scene shocked everyone, and Feng Yu said to the corpse in the shock of everyone: "You should have known military law like a mountain when you joined the army, so no one can blame you for losing your life."

Although the other barbarian soldiers were dissatisfied and cast resentful glances at Feng Yu, they did not dare to act rashly anymore.The corpses were quickly cleaned up, and the barbarian soldiers obediently changed their equipment and armor.Even the guards composed of Feng Yu's entourage, including John Lawrence, were replaced with the same large shield and short sword as the Roman soldiers.Those who originally carried heavy javelins also unloaded the javelins according to Feng Yu's instructions, and piled them up on the side of the open space.

Douglas asked Feng Yu: "General, we only do sword and shield close combat training, don't we plan to use javelins in the future?"

"That's right, I won't use javelins anymore. But there will be another more effective weapon as a supplement. In addition, this large shield needs to be improved." Looking at Douglas' puzzled face, Feng Yu added: "I'm telling you now, but I can't explain it clearly. You will understand when the time comes."

Hearing what Feng Yu said, Douglas stopped talking.He knew in his heart that according to the Roman military laws and regulations, the equipment of this legion was completely determined by the commander of the legion.Otherwise, there would not be so many barbaric non-standard weapons and armor in each legion.

A moment later, the sounds of swords and shields colliding and weapons clanging echoed in the open space of the barracks.Feng Yu stopped Douglas, who was instructing the soldiers in training, and said, "From today on, all your energy will be devoted to recruiting soldiers. The training of the soldiers can be done by Simmons and the others themselves."

Feng Yu saw the embarrassing expression on Douglas's face again, and added: "Douglas, you don't have to worry about money. As long as you recruit people, make sure that their salaries are indispensable, and it will not be too late."

Douglas replied truthfully: "General, I'm not worried about this. It's just that there is no extra money in the army now. Even the expenses for recruiting troops are not enough. The personnel who go to various towns to recruit, the transportation and horse fees, Accommodation expenses, daily meals, and news advertisements all need to be paid for.”

Feng Yu laughed and said: "So that's the case, but this is not a problem. I can personally advance the money." After finishing speaking, he ordered Simmons to take out fifty gold coins from his personal purse and gave it to Douglas, and then asked Said: "Is this much money enough?"

Douglas said repeatedly: "Enough, enough. But according to the Roman military practice, new recruits have to pay the first payment in advance in the first week after enlisting in the army. I wonder if the general's payment will arrive by then?"

Feng Yu pinched his fingers and said: "It should be enough. Even if we can't raise so much money by then, we can definitely raise it if we delay it by another week."

Douglas nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved." After that, he turned around to prepare for the recruitment.The training for the soldiers was taken over by Dianqing Simmons, who had just been promoted to commander in chief.

Time passed quickly, and nearly two weeks passed in a blink of an eye.One after another, newly recruited soldiers poured into the barracks.The barracks, which seemed sparse and deserted during the non-training hours, became bustling and bustling. When it was time for training, the barracks were filled with loud horns, the shouts of thousands of soldiers, and the sound of metal clanging.

On this day, when the horn sounded for the morning exercise, the open space of the barracks was already filled with darkness, and the messy recruits almost occupied the open space.It's a far cry from the empty scene two weeks ago.Feng Yu secretly admired Douglas's efficiency in handling affairs. In just a little over two weeks, he will have recruited more than 5000 people, which is an entire army.

After Feng Yu was going to give these recruits a short speech, he asked Dianqing, Simmons, John and others to train outside the barracks, because there was really not enough space in the barracks.Unexpectedly, he climbed onto the high platform of the school field built of wood, and just about to speak, there was a burst of noise from the crooked recruits lined up below.

"Legion Commander! When will the first installment of military pay be paid to us? This is why we are soldiers."

"Yeah, we came here because we saw that your army pays a higher salary than others. We didn't expect to be in arrears from the beginning."

"In principle, it can be issued within a week. Now that we joined the legion earlier, it has been almost two weeks, but the first installment of the advance payment of the military salary is still not seen. This is for the expenses of settling down. The family has no money. We How can you be a soldier with peace of mind?"

"Now other people's Vienna Legion is also recruiting. If I knew this, I might as well join the Vienna Legion nearby."

Just as Feng Yu was about to speak, Douglas rushed up to the stage and explained first: "Everyone, please be patient. Our military pay and finance bureau is in the process of disbursement. Don't worry, everyone, you won't lose a penny of your money. At most one week, seven days The money will definitely be in your pocket."

But his explanation did not quell the commotion, and these soldiers were still chattering: "What? It will take another week. What is this?"

"We can't afford to wait. The wives and children in the tribe are still waiting for money."

Feng Yu looked around and found that most of the booing were Germanic barbarian soldiers, and only a few were soldiers of other ethnicities.Among them, those with typical Latin looks are rarely seen.He thought to himself, if there is no response from the city of Rome at this time, it must be that the money cannot be allocated.I can only use the intelligence network deployed by Liang Guo in Rome to raise money.He didn't want to do this at first, not because he felt sorry for the money, but doing so would greatly increase the risk of the intelligence network being exposed.

Just as Feng Yu was about to speak to these commotion soldiers, there was a rush of horseshoes at the gate of the barracks.A few riders had rushed into the barracks, followed by a few four-wheeled carts, and on both sides of the carts were guarding more than a hundred Roman soldiers running forward.

The leader jumped off the horse, raised his hand to Feng Yu and said, "Your Excellency is Feng Hu, my name is Julius, and I was ordered to give you your military salary."
