Once again, we have also talked before that almost all small countries and even city-states currently do not have their own cultural system, so they believe in the cultural system of the Roman Empire, mainly Christianity, which is also indirect

As a result, everyone believed that the Roman emperor was the real concept of God.

At this point, the Roman Emperor Justinian's idea was to use the identity of God to mediate the current internal disputes in the Ostrogothic Kingdom, and the other was to save many people from being persecuted due to different branches of Christianity, so this is a

A good excuse. Therefore, the Roman Emperor Justinian used this excuse to dispatch his army again and entered Italy occupied by the Ostrogoths.

This time the general sent by Roman Emperor Justinian was still Belisarius, and this time Belisarius understood the internal situation of the Ostrogothic Kingdom at this time, so he did not lead the army that had been rested and replenished, but

Led only about 8,000 elite warriors, they first occupied Sicily and killed all the troops stationed in Sicily! Because this was an excuse, Justinian said that the branch of Christianity they believed in was a heresy! This was in

It's just to eliminate heretics. But we don't care whether Justinian is really eliminating the so-called heretics in the church. Anyway, he used very bloody methods to recover the very wealthy Sicily, and now he also gave up the resources of the Eastern Roman Empire.

Supplies have surged! As we said, Sicily is actually a treasure.

After the Eastern Roman Empire regained Sicily, it stationed a lot of troops on Sicily because this place was really a treasure. So it also built a large number of ports and warships on Sicily, and then when everything was ready, this

He landed on the Italian Peninsula at lightning speed.

The Ostrogothic King Diodat, who was on the Italian peninsula, immediately began to panic! Although the Roman army was completely less than ten thousand people, their Ostrogothic Kingdom was not much better. The high-level officials were originally decayed, resulting in a lack of troops.

It was in such a mess that the Ostrogothic king Diodat wanted to surrender to the Roman emperor.

But what should we say about this surrender? This is no longer a matter of national war. The excuse for this war is not as simple as burning, killing and looting. It is the Roman Emperor, the God, who sent troops to the Ostrogothic Kingdom to rescue the victims.

Heretics of the Christian branch persecuted other people, which was also called the adjustment of cultural disputes within the Ostrogothic Kingdom.

But this is not the case at all! King Deodat of the Ostrogoths understood this truth very well, and he analyzed the matter very clearly. Despite this, everything was in vain, because the believers of Christianity are very scary.

Yes, they believe that God, the Roman Emperor, is now coming to save their cultural system, that is, the disputes in the church's belief system. Therefore, they must be very suspicious of the Ostrogothic King's surrender! They think that the Ostrogothic Kingdom

King Deodat was actually a heretic!

Another one is the high-level officials of the Ostrogothic Kingdom. In fact, they analyzed the matter very clearly and knew that this was not a matter of surrender or not. The Emperor of the Roman Empire, Justinian, was not here to mediate internal disputes and church cultural issues at all.

, just came to kill them. Up to this point, the senior officials of the Ostrogothic Kingdom vowed not to surrender, but the king did not listen, so the nobles actually killed their King Diodat of the Ostrogothic Kingdom on the spot!

So all of a sudden things seem to be getting more and more chaotic, and no matter what, it has reached the point where it is unclear. In other words, the civilians and soldiers of the Ostrogoth Kingdom simply don't listen to the nonsense of their senior officials. So Brother Dong

The Kingdom of Ostrogoth immediately took office as a new king, but the new king was jointly elected by the Ostrogoths. This is like the concept of democracy. So far, the Ostrogoths still listen to the new king. At this time, the new king of the Ostrogoths

His name is Vitiges. Vitiges used to be a general in the army, but Vitiges is not a fool. He knows that the Roman emperor is here to regulate the cultural system of some bullshit church. This is clearly to ask them.

Do you want to die together? At this point, in order to avoid his sharp edge, Vitiges led the main force of their army to withdraw to Ravenna, the capital city in the north.

Then the Roman general Belisarius directly attacked the current capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, but what is the story of this matter? In fact, in December of 536 AD, Belisarius’ army just arrived here.

The pope and residents in the city did not put up any resistance at all, because this was God's army, so they just opened the city gate and surrendered.

After Belisarius took over the town, he did not carry out any form of burning, killing, looting, but really resolved the cultural disputes within the church in the city, and resolved them very well. However, this process was still somewhat bloody, but

All are within everyone's acceptance range.

We can also say that the current capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom has returned to the embrace of the Roman Empire, and the system of the Roman Empire has once again begun to be implemented in the city. The residents are living very well, because the current high-level officials of the Eastern Roman Empire are not very good.

Decay was quite acceptable to the residents, and it would not cause them to suffer from lack of food and clothing, so the Ostrogoths did not engage in any form of rebellion.

In February 537 AD, Vitiges, the man who had been publicly elected as the king of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, now gathered a large number of troops, and then led the army south, and began to attack Rome! Also

It was the old capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, but Belisarius only defended the city and did not carry out any form of attack. After all, the city wall was also very strong, so Vitiges was never able to capture it, and Vittigs

This attack lasted for about three years. Is this a joke? So at this time, the army of King Vitiges of the Ostrogoths was really demoralized to a mess! In addition, they had been outside the city.

Moreover, the corpses were not handled properly, which eventually resulted in a plague! The plague swept through Vitiges' army at once, causing the death of a large number of soldiers in an instant. King Vitiges saw that this was not going to work, and in the end he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

In 540 AD, the Roman general Belisarius came out of the city and led his army northward. In an instant, he captured Ravenna, the current capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, and captured the current king of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, Vitoria.

Tigus. However, the Roman army did not carry out mass burning, killing and looting in the city of Ravenna. They seemed to be real gods who came to resolve the disputes caused by the cultural system. Therefore, the residents still liked the Roman army very much and did not

What kind of major conflict occurred? We can also say that this is simply a concept of not spending a single soldier? It was just that the Roman army encountered a small amount of resistance during the siege.

Then the Roman general Belisarius implemented various systems of the Roman Empire in the city of Ravenna according to the orders of the Roman Emperor Justinian, and everything began to return to the way it had been in the previous Roman Empire.

It wasn't until 545 AD that the Ostrogoths sent a large army to another capital of the Ostrogoths. The current king of the Ostrogoths is Totila. This time Totila directly captured the city of Ravenna, and both armies

There were deaths and injuries all over the place, cries for help and gradually cold corpses everywhere. It was also a scene of rivers of blood. In short, Totila, the new Ostrogothic king, after leading his army into Ravenna

, believed that the people here were heretics of the Christian Church, so they carried out large-scale massacres and looting.

But the Ostrogothic Kingdom is just a small kingdom at the moment. In front of an absolute behemoth like the Roman Empire, they are still like little ants, so King Totila of the Ostrogothic knows his current situation, and he will soon

So he asked Justinian, the emperor of the Roman Empire, for peace, hoping that there would be no more wars. Of course, the conditions were very good.

But Justinian, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, was very angry! Because all Justinian wanted was to restore the previous territory of the Roman Empire. This was his only ambition in this life. So what is the need to sign a contract with the Ostrogothic Kingdom?

What about the peace treaty? Is this simply baffling?

Another one is that when King Totila of the Ostrogothic Kingdom sued for peace from the Roman Emperor, this was a disguised form of giving the Roman army some breathing space, and coupled with other reasons, anyway, the current Roman Emperor

The matter of seeking peace was ignored, so it was very strange that the matter was dragged on like this. This caused Totila, the king of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, to be worried every day.

But the worry of King Totila of the Ostrogoths was certainly correct, because the Eastern Roman army immediately launched an attack on them, and this time it was in the name of war! Why? Because King Totila of the Ostrogoths

They attacked the Roman province and carried out massacres and looting. At this point, the Roman army's attack on their Ostrogothic country was reasonable, because it was the Ostrogothic kingdom that destroyed the peaceful situation first.

This made the Ostrogothic Kingdom two-faced! It was wrong no matter what it did! But the Ostrogothic Kingdom still put up a very heroic resistance, but the Roman army was very powerful, so this time it was also in the name of war.

This resulted in the Roman Empire's army being very cruel! They simply killed everyone and then dealt with the entire Ostrogothic Kingdom.

Until 554 AD, the Eastern Roman army used bloody violence in absolute war mode to completely annihilate all the remaining places of the Ostrogothic Kingdom! Therefore, the Roman Empire also recovered the entire Italian Peninsula at this time, and the Italian Peninsula also
Chapter completed!
