The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Time flies. In 1096 AD, great changes have taken place throughout Europe. The Eastern Roman Empire is still ruled by the descendants of Zhao Yuanlang. After Zhao Yuanlang returned to Mount Olympus, his son Aurelius successfully ascended the throne as the emperor of the empire.

As the son of Zhao Yuanlang, although he was not as outstanding as Zhao Yuanlang, he did make great contributions to the restoration of the empire's territory. In order to stabilize the unrest caused by Zhao Yuanlang's disappearance, he immediately launched a war and feigned an attack on Frank.

The Franks were facing encirclement on three sides. The Umayyad Dynasty in Portugal completely defeated the few remaining small Christian kingdoms in the region and led its army north to capture Falak. The crazy attack of the Germanic pagans in Saxony and the Eastern Roman Empire led by Aurelius completely plunged the Franks into the swamp of war.

However, with the support of Christianity, Caoti was crowned as the emperor of the Frankish Empire before his death. Louis was his only son, so Louis inherited the vast empire.

Although Louis was not very good, the strength of Christianity was too strong. He withstood the encirclement on three sides. Aurelius made preparations for both situations and immediately sent troops from Mallorca and Gibraltar to directly attack Andalusia and Valencia!

In the face of such a catastrophic disaster, Hakam I, who had led the Umayyad army into the Franks, wanted to retreat, but found that they had been held back by the Frankish army and could not go back.

Countless lives were lost and the entire Spanish region was on the verge of collapse. The soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire pushed forward all the way, and all parts of the Spanish region surrendered at once. The entire Spanish region completely returned to the embrace of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Hakam I, who had originally planned to fight a desperate battle with the Frankish army, found that the Franks actually let him go. He understood that the Franks wanted him to go to war with the Eastern Roman Empire to buy time for the Saxony region in the northern war zone of the Frank Empire.

This was a blatant conspiracy, but Hakam I did the opposite. On the surface, he was preparing to withdraw his troops back to Spain, but he ordered his soldiers to further attack Aquitaine and then stayed in Aquitaine.

Aurelius did not continue the attack. The vast Iberian Peninsula had just been conquered, and the officials and priests accumulated by the empire over the years were just enough, so he further strengthened his rule and missionary work in the Iberian Peninsula.

As time passed, Aurelius finally reached his death at the age of 76. He chose his eldest son, the Imperial Caesar Nerva, to succeed him. Unlike his father Aurelius, he assembled an army of to hold military exercises in Damascus, which surprised the Abbasid Caliph Mutawakkil who was destroying various religions in the east.

The well-equipped and high-spirited troops frightened the people of the Abbasid Empire, and they had to send envoys to meet Nerva as soon as possible. Nerva's coercive and enticement forced the Abbasid Empire to sign the shameful Damascus Trade Treaty.

All treaties were beneficial to the Eastern Roman Empire. Even the safety of the Eastern Roman Empire's caravans heading east was guaranteed by the Abbasid Empire. What a glory.

During the 42 years that Nerva worked hard to govern the country, the economic level of the Eastern Roman Empire reached its highest level in history, with annual tax revenue of nearly 8000 million gold coins. One-third of the money was used for normal maintenance of the army, and the other one-third was used for national officials and various infrastructure projects.

During the reign of Nerva, there was never a real war, but each time he was able to achieve the desired effect through military exercises. He made an unimaginable impact on the empire's finances, and the Ministry of Finance even had to build two more treasuries.

After Nerva abdicated, his eldest son Caesar Aurelian ascended the throne. Unlike his father, he was a pure militarist. As soon as he came to power, he launched a war and sent his troops to the Pannonia region. Although the chiefs of various ethnic groups of the Pannonia people united at this time, they were defeated in the fourth month of Aurelian's accession to the throne. Since then, the Pannonia region returned to the rule of the empire.

However, Aurelian was not reconciled. The person he admired most in his life was Emperor Aurelian the Great, the emperor who solved the empire's crisis in the third century. His army did not stop and directly invaded the Bavaria region.

It was a classic blitzkrieg. Before the King of Bavaria could react, Aurelian had already led his army to capture a large area and captured the King of Bavaria alive from his castle bed overnight.

The Eastern Roman Empire's momentary action instantly detonated Europe, and all countries were very uneasy. They then abandoned their religious prejudices against each other and signed an alliance treaty, stating that as long as the Eastern Roman Empire sent troops to any other country, everyone would send troops together.

Aurelian was very smart. On the one hand, he sent messengers to the Frankish emperor and other Christian countries to convey the message of peace with Christianity, saying that Christianity was one of the religions of the Roman Empire and would not do anything to them. On the other hand, he directly sent a large army to invade the Aquitaine region, captured Abdul-Rahman III of the Umayyad family who swore to resist to the death, and hanged him on the city wall.

For a time, Aurelian's reputation was so great that all European countries trembled in fear and assembled their armies to prepare for any eventuality.

Aurelian was smart enough to know that this was the limit of what he could do, so he stopped his offensive and began to rule the three newly conquered regions.

Until his death, he never gave up the idea of ​​defeating the Franks, but in order to avoid being involved in the religious war between Christianity and Germanic paganism, he moved the war to the east.

Since ancient times, nomadic peoples have been a headache for every country, because except for their parents and children, almost all of them are warriors, and they come to plunder when the weather is bad every year.

Aurelian began to build fortresses in the Crimea region in large numbers, dividing each area there and blocking the nomadic peoples' attempts to move south. He even built a large number of beacon towers in the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia and stationed two large legions in Georgia alone.

As a result, the nomadic people who wanted to move south could only plunder to the west, but the west was full of Germanic barbarians. How much money and food could they have? They had to move further west.

The Germanic pagans and Christians who were originally fighting in the Saxony region maintained a hostile attitude towards the invading nomads and launched a counterattack against them together. They did not want to encounter another Attila, the Scourge of God.

Everything was disrupted, and Northern Europe was in complete chaos.

Aurelian reigned for 37 years and died at the age of 71. The throne of the empire was succeeded by his second son Caesar Antony. Originally, his eldest son should have succeeded him, but his eldest son was born with dementia.

It was now the year 950, and the Frankish Empire was already on the verge of collapse. In the Hundred Years' War with the Germanic polytheists, the Frankish Empire had suffered serious losses. There were constant uprisings at home, and the economy was in decline. The kings of the three Frankish kingdoms of East, Central, and West were ready to overthrow the sparsely populated Carolingian royal family, and the entire empire was on the verge of collapse.

Antony would certainly not waste this good opportunity. The army encountered resistance on its way north, but the Eastern Roman Empire was too powerful. It fought on three fronts simultaneously. The Aquitaine region sent troops directly to West Francia and Brittany; the Italian region directly penetrated Burgundy and used it as a springboard to prepare to swallow up Middle Francia; the Pannonia region directly attacked the already dilapidated East Francia.

After struggling for a year, the Frankish Empire completely collapsed. All the nobles of the empire were killed or injured. The only heir of the Carolingian Empire fled to Britain to seek help from the King of England. Christianity completely lost its control over Europe, and only Great Britain still believed in Catholicism.
