"Seris is not at all like a civilized country that has been passed down for thousands of years, they are too violent, too barbaric" "The same cannot be said.
Constantius II had a headache now, and simply going to war with the Han was not his option, and at the same time, he could not fail to express what the Han were doing in Constantinople.
What happened today will forever be recorded in the history of Rome, probably compared to the Celtic invasion of Rome, which happened around the second millennium BC, and would be a new stain on the history of Rome and a disgrace.
The Romans had long since washed away the humiliation of the Celtic invasion of Rome, and they were close to exterminating the Celts, even if the oppression of the Celts has not ended, and will not end.
"On the other hand, the actions of the Seris confirm their strength, and they are not afraid to go to war with Rome, and they may want to go to war with Rome as well" "We are so far away from Seris that it has been proven that our ships cannot sail out of the Mediterranean, and it will definitely not be our legions who will take the initiative to go to war.
They were able to cross the sea to expedition trust, and the known world is the only one in the world that the Seris can do such a thing, far more crazy and more technical than the Macedonian expedition trust. ” "The distance between the two countries is too far, and I still want to believe that Seris is not here to go to war."
"Yes, what happened today is completely Peter's fault."
The Peter they say is now in the cathedral of Constantinople, and there is no dismissal at all, as the Romans say, but rather a hero, receiving praise from various bishops and archbishops, and even the archbishop speaks of fulfilling the sacred mission given by the "Lord".
Peter had to pay the 1,000 gold coins he had to pay for it, but it was the church that helped pay for it, and he himself was rewarded with 200 gold coins.
From this, we can also see the attitude of the first superintendent and the first religion.
It was not that the Roman officials deceived Wang Meng, in fact, the reply that the Roman officials got was what they said, but it was one thing to do and another thing to do.
Ji 1 Du 1 Jiao did not make much effort to cover up his own behavior, and those who should know would know it sooner or later, and even if they did, it would be like that, and those who knew would not mention it to the Han people.
In today's Rome, a considerable number of high-ranking officials and nobles are followers of the 1 Governor's Religion, and it doesn't matter how pious their beliefs are, it is the Christianity that can bring them benefits.
It is common to turn a blind eye to the interests of any country and any nation, and what choice to do or what choice will be made when encountering a multiple-choice question, just to see how big the benefits will be.
Obviously, the Han Kingdom was too far away from Rome, but the influence of the 1st Governor and 1st Sect in Rome was too great, and it was a matter of dignity for the Romans, who had not killed their own people because of diplomatic disputes in history, even if that one of their own people was a complete bastard, and had not been killed because of external requirements.
The Han Chinese could not force the Romans to kill their own people, no one could, especially since Rome was still very powerful.
If things really want to end in a mess, it's nothing more than war.
In the process of unifying Rome, Constantius II relied on the Governor and the Church, which also allowed the Church to further increase its influence, and the material and financial resources were also increased.
For Constantius II, the Church was already a big deal, and at the same time, he did not want to erase the Sect of Ruler 1, but he just wanted to suppress it, but the facts have repeatedly proved that it is not easy to suppress the Sect of Ruler 1.
Now, however, Constantius II had found an opportunity, and he had gathered people he thought were credible in order to do just that.
"If war cannot be avoided, let it come."
Constantius II was still very resolute, he was a monarch who had come all the way from the flames of war, but he did not grow up in the deep palace and was raised by the hands of women: "But the war with Seris did us no good at all. ” Now Rome has external enemies, and it is also a mess inside.
Rome had many foreign enemies, the Persians, with whom they had fought bloodily for thousands of years, the Germanic tribes who had been coming and going endlessly, Spain and Gaul, whose national consciousness had reared up, and the British barbarians who had not yielded to death across the Channel.
The interior of Rome was more complicated, having become a behemoth of Christianity in just a few decades, the remnants of the vassals of Constans I and Constantine II, the nobles who had heavy armies in their hands.
Of course, there are also those nephews who Constantius II has always wanted to dispose of, but he can't do it at all.
"I learned a quote from Cicero."
As if recalling, Constantius II spoke a sentence in Chinese with an awkward accent, and then repeated it in Roman: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." ” The source of this sentence is not Lao Jiang, it was Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty who first mentioned it, but Zhang Zhongjing did not say anything about the use of soldiers, but actually wrote it in the previous chapter on typhoid fever when he was writing on typhoid fever.
In fact, the principle of curing the disease and governing the country is the same.
Only by first solving the most threatening part of the disease, and the bones of the body can be supported, can the condition be regulated.
Only by first making there only one voice within the country can we concentrate the greatest strength to resist external enemies, otherwise there will not only be chaos inside, but also someone will overthrow themselves from power, how to resist external enemies "I have a lot of admiration for the Celestial Son."
Constantius II was not like a fraud, he was both envious and jealous: "He went from having nothing to becoming the ruler of a great empire, and he used strong means to make the internal unity, and all the people obeyed his orders, so that they could easily destroy those powerful external enemies." ” In other words, Liu Yan seems to have really done that, but he didn't do anything to his subordinates and subordinates.
In the process of his rise, he bloodily eliminated those who were unwilling to go together, such as the powerful people, the scholars, the families and the gate valves, which really could not be regarded as internal enemies, but external enemies.
"The Seris obey their Son of Heaven, so the Seris not only destroy the once strong enemy, but also continue to use foreign troops."
Constantius II could not hide the gloom and unwillingness on his face: "What am I doing, I am nominally the ruler of Rome, but in fact I can hardly decide Rome." ” The truth is that none of the rulers in Roman history have been able to truly dominate Rome, whether it is Gaius Julius Caesar, or Sheptimius Severus, or Gevis Octavian Augustus, and no one has done what seems to be easy to do in the Eastern Empire.
It is the people of Zhuxia who do not like freedom, it is the rise in the history of ancient times that has taught a lesson, only the existence of a voice can exert the greatest power of a nation, thus giving rise to collective consciousness, and so that collective consciousness has been passed down.
History has proven one thing time and again, Zhuxia is not to stifle freedom, but once there are multiple voices, it always makes Zhuxia fall into extreme weakness, giving alien races an opportunity to take advantage of, proving that no matter how bad the central group is, it is better than not knowing the so-called freedom.
The Romans were different, they were accustomed to "freedom" from time immemorial, and even if there was a temporary central bloc, it was a false central bloc.
They grow stronger in "freedom" and become stronger in the process of growth, and they take it for granted that the "free" system is the best system.
Rome was able to pass on "freedom" not because there were no hard-line rulers who wanted to end "freedom", but because the foundation of "freedom" was based on force.
Anyone with a well-established family can raise private soldiers, and if a ruler wants to end "freedom" and greet everyone's counterattack, then unless the ruler can sweep by himself, he or be honest.
In fact, whether it is like this or that, only the most suitable is the most suitable, and the same system is implemented in different peoples, some nations will be extremely strong, but some nations will be chaotic and weak.
Constantius II did not think of doing something inside, but the idea of doing it came back and pressed it down on himself.
Many times he had made a very detailed comparison in the dead of night, and there were twenty-seven legions in his hands, and there were as many as forty legions with regular establishments outside his control, not counting the private armies of those nobles.
What made Constantius II even more annoyed and embarrassed was that the threats on the surface were not the most important, but that ordinary Romans and citizens would never choose to side with them once they tore their faces with the nobles.
"You need money, lots and lots of money."

Luskrugdeah spoke the truth of the world: "The Romans are now subservient only to money. ” There was no caste system in Rome, but having an honorable surname in Rome would add a lot of points.
At every time in Rome, there were some unprovoked surnames, the ones who would rather offend the consuls or Augustus to death, than provoke the severity of those surnames.
For a certain time in Rome, Daia belonged to the kind of surname that could not be provoked.
The family ruled Rome twice, first as a partition of the Four Emperors, and then as the supreme ruler of Rome as a whole.
Luskrugodia was enjoying the shade of his family name, and it was his family that remained in the upper echelons of Roman society in order to become the Roman treasurer.
There were many treasurers in Rome, the local provinces had their own treasurers, and the families had their own treasurers, but there was one position that was unique, and that was the treasurer of the capital.
Although they were all the same treasurers, the treasurer of the capital was in charge of the finances of the whole country, and the Romans used to call him the treasurer, and Luskrugodia is now such a position.
"Sociability to associate with Seris brings you wealth."
Luskrugodia said with all seriousness: "The Seris may be evil, but their gold is not evil.
There is no doubt that you need friendship from Seris now. ” "Your Excellency the Treasurer is right."
Flavis Valentinus chimed in: "You do need wealth from Seris. ” Later, many people agreed, and they agreed that even if a war broke out with the Han Kingdom, what Constantius II should do at present was to acquire wealth.
It is important to know that no matter what period of history Rome is in, wealth will always be paramount.
The Romans' death money was fixed from the moment the election was born, and the electors could bribe the voters openly, which meant that the dominance of the state could be bought with money To the horror of the Roman rulers of all eras, the first rebellion of the Roman legions was due to the fact that the military pay was not paid, the first rebellion occurred in the Ninth Spanish Legion, and the subsequent rebellions of the Roman legions were not related to the military salary.
During the reign of the Roman military officers, money really did what it meant to do whatever it wanted, and as a result, everyone understood what the serious consequences of not having money would be, which made the Romans even more desperate for money.
"We can't monopolize all the benefits, but we can take the vast majority of the benefits, especially now."
Luskrugodia is not the Lamb of the Lord, he believes in the Olympian god lineage, and he has not given up on stumbling over the Church of the Priest 1 before, and he will not give up on the Church of the Priest: "If the rumored description of the Seris is not wrong.
In the arena of dealing with Seris, they are already out. ” "It's not just the base 1 governor and 1 sect, there is reason to believe that those people are out."
Flavis Valentineus was also not the Lamb of the Lord and did not hide his schadenfreude: "I am now glad that I believe in Poseidon. ” The Romans were particular about what gods they believed in, and the Valentine family believed in Poseidon, which meant that their family ate by the sea.
The Valentinianus family is considered a rising star in Rome, and the real development is in the era of the four emperors, they relied on the right team to make the first windfall, and then they chose the family to take the maritime development route with extremely correct eyes, and made a lot of wealth by mastering a route unknown to others, including smuggling ordnance from Rome to selling it to those barbarians in Great Britain.
Among the people summoned by Constantius II, there was no shortage of lambs of the "Lord", but only he knew how pious he could be, and their faces were not so good-looking, including Constantius II himself.
The Church of the Church of the Ruler of Rome is not officially designated as the religion of the State, but in fact it is the religion of the State of Rome.
From Constantine I onwards, whether he competed for the throne of Augustus or sat on the throne of Augustus, he pretended to be devout to the "Lord".
"Julian and the Han envoy are very close."
Constantius II really didn't like Julian, but he noticed a little from Wang Meng's attitude towards Julian, and if he didn't like it, he would ease the relationship: "I want Julian to be on our side":
