"So be prepared. The quality of the Romans is not bad. We can barely agree with the four great empires you mentioned to us at the beginning, and the most surprising one among them is probably Rome." Jia Xu looked solemn.
said.
When Chen Xi led this group of people to unify the Han Dynasty, and opened his eyes to see the world from Long Feitian, he blew up the surrounding empires and really suppressed this group of people at that time.
However, after they actually opened the map and went out to fight other empires, this group of people were not so afraid. What rest, isn't it just burning talents to suppress the empire? What is there to be afraid of? They are about to fall, although
He also has a little bit of capital, but that's really the same thing. However, the emperor of this country is really courageous.
As for Kushan, isn't that the vassal state established by our younger brother Da Yuezhi? With good cards and top grain-producing areas such as the Indus and Ganges river basins, it has developed into this kind of fat pig, with more than a hundred
I have gained weight after not seeing the light for many years, and I don’t see much muscle.
Empire? Hehe, I think Anxi is more like an empire than your Kushan. Of course, those who know it more thoroughly, such as Jia Xu and others, know that Kushan is actually quite strong, but the internal management is chaotic and the cultural conflict is too great. No one can yet
The leading figure.
If you really want to say it, it is indeed quite strong, but just like the army, the basic quality is one thing, the will is another, and the performance is another. The foundation of the Kshatriya warrior army is unparalleled in the world, but even the top two
No talent can beat him.
When the cavalry camp with dual will attributes is strong, it can penetrate the ceiling and compete with legions of another level. When it is weak, it may not even be able to serve as a dual talent floor tile.
There is also a problem with performance. Both Li Jue and Wan Peng are leading Xiliang cavalry. The cavalry led by Li Jue will dare to be reckless no matter what the opponent is, and no matter what the opponent is, they can be reckless and impressive.
As for Wan Peng, he was almost beaten by the Qiang King's guard last time.
This is the difference between one's own strength and actual combat effectiveness. It is also the same at the empire level. Kuishang's hard qualities are really not bad, but Kuishang firstly has no will and secondly has not exerted himself. It is obviously a very strong empire.
What kind of stuff is that? It's not even as good as the rest of a dying person.
To be honest, if Volojis V were to rule Kushan in the current state, the area occupied by the Han Dynasty in the lower reaches of the Ganges River might have been pushed back by this guy. However, Kushan is still in a civil war, so
Jia Xu deeply doubted whether this country was a whole.
As for the last empire, that is, Rome, Jia Xu no longer wants to comment. This country is really powerful. It is so strong that it makes Jia Xu's scalp numb. If any country is likely to be able to defeat the main force of the Han Dynasty in a land war,
If you translate it, Jia Xu feels that it is only Rome now.
Don't look at Ardashir, Atratome, and Babak who are all outstanding, but in Jia Xu's view, they are just the same thing. The stronger is the stronger. There are only a few in a country who can show their strength.
characters, what about the other backbones?
The thing about Rome that makes Jia Xu's liver hurt is that the middle-level people in Rome are very reliable and have some ability. As for the lack of strength in the past, even the Han Dynasty may not be able to stabilize the opponent now.
It is not that the Rome-Arthia battlefield has not lost its masters. During the imperial battle, Rome also tempered a number of truly strong men.
Under this situation, the more he learned, the more difficult Jia Xu found Rome to deal with. This empire, which was called Da Qin by the Han Dynasty and called itself Rome, really launched a charge towards the peak, and its momentum was fierce.
Even the Han Dynasty would find it difficult to suppress the opponent.
Perhaps feeling Jia Xu's worries, Chen Xi couldn't help but smile and said, "Having said that, but if you really want to say it, Roman civilization has a fatal flaw. It is true that they are extremely powerful now, but their flaws are also obvious.
"
"They are still following the old path of our Spring and Autumn Period. Although it has changed, the most obvious thing has not changed." Jia Xu nodded and said.
The Roman citizenship system was replaced by the Chinese citizen system in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. However, this system was abolished in the Central Plains. The Qin Dynasty even overthrew the six countries and completely ended it. This system had many advantages, but the disadvantages were also the same.
Quite a few, and the most important thing is the number of Chinese people.
In fact, the treatment and obligations enjoyed by Roman citizens were similar to those of Chinese people in the Spring and Autumn Period. Their rank was regarded as the knight class or warrior class in later generations, which could clearly be classified as the lower nobles at the level of "shi".
In the Spring and Autumn Period, China also had this kind of system, and there were cases where the people directly expelled the king because the king had done too much. At that time, the people of the country had serious obligations and rights.
They could even arbitrate the abolition of monarchs, arbitrate disputes between nobles, and participate in the discussion of political affairs. It can be said that at that time, the people of the country did not have any problems when they said that the nobles were nobility. However, later this class disappeared, or was banned.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, the influence of these people has been eliminated. Although some rulers do mean to maintain their rule, the core problem is the population issue. By the time of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Chinese class had basically disappeared. By the time of the Pre-Han Dynasty
The concept of retainers supporting scholars also gradually disappeared, and many things that were very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period gradually faded into history.
These things have advantages and disadvantages, but from the perspective of unification, they are indeed harmful. Of course, now that enfeoffment has been implemented, it is inevitable that the Chinese class will still appear. This is difficult to avoid.
When the country was founded, those who pioneered together with the first generation of pioneers were bound to enjoy some special treatment.
These treatments are naturally universal among this group of people, but they are not so common in a large area. However, with China's continuous development, even if the concept of Chinese people has been developed again, it will last for at most three generations.
It will subside after the period is over.
After all, they have all experienced the Great Unification, and they all understand what kind of impact the existence of the Chinese class has on the whole. If it can be eliminated, it will be gradually eliminated.
And Rome still maintains their civil system. From Jia Xu's perspective, this system will drag them to death sooner or later. Moreover, when Rome has developed so big, the citizens can live as well as the nobles. To put it bluntly, it is not by exploiting those tens of millions.
Barbarian?
Welfare is easy when it is provided, but it is very difficult when you want to cancel it. Once one day Rome has no way to continue to maintain the current welfare for its citizens, I am afraid that Rome will not be far from collapse, and Rome must continue
To maintain the current welfare, one must exploit the barbarians under his rule, and this is the source of the contradiction.
Even if we open up the civil system and allow capable people among the barbarians to enter the civil class, it will only delay the arrival of those who overthrow Rome, rather than truly solving the problem. The civil system and the national system are themselves very obvious.
system of exploitation.
Even though exploitation is everywhere, hidden exploitation or explicit exploitation is easier to be targeted. This is an important reason why most aristocratic families strive to maintain a good reputation in the local area. Even if they are exploiters, they are actually
You can wear the coat of kindness.
However, there is no way to put a layer on the citizenship system. After all, the attraction of this system lies in the benefits you get as a citizen, the rights you have, etc. If you whitewash it, once these are removed
If it's whitewashed, the system will be finished.
What's even worse is that this system blatantly exploits the non-citizen class. It is precisely because of this exploitation that all Roman citizens live like shit, and it is precisely because of this system that Roman citizens can express their inner feelings.
Support this country.
The converse is also true, but Rome is now powerful and the barbarians can't do anything about it. However, the root of the disaster has been buried long ago. Unless the Roman citizens remain strong, once it is overthrown, it will most likely be difficult for Rome to climb back up.
"Yes, so many people are more interested in digging up the history of the Romans." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said. After all, there are relevant records from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the system used by the Romans is particularly similar to that used by their ancestors at that time. Everyone
They all look so similar, it would be weird if they don't look crooked.
"However, with regard to the progress in this area, I think there is no other solution except falsifying history." Jia Xu said with disdain, and was very unhappy with the group of classical scholars who studied history and tried hard to find ways to verify it.
, Jia Xu hates historical falsification, because this kind of cost can easily leave great trouble to future generations.
"Let's look at this first. I think even if there is a crisis in Rome, it won't be a matter of this generation." Chen Xi naturally changed the topic. He was actually very interested in the Han Dynasty's research on Roman history.
of.
"There is absolutely no hope for this generation. The emperor Severus is not simple in terms of ability or courage, and his ruling staff are not bad either. With the help of the Senate, there is no hope at all." Jia Xu said casually.
said, "Speaking of it, the Roman system is really good."
"I think you are probably focusing on the Roman Senate's restrictions on the emperor." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "I can't say that it's not good, but I can't say it's too good. In our current era, the eldest princess is completely
It is indeed good to be careless, but not in other times."
"It can only be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages." Chen Xi concluded, "The Roman system and our system both have advantages and disadvantages, but both have been verified for hundreds of years. If we rashly combine the other's system, it will not only be of no benefit to us, but also
There may also be disadvantages.”
"I just mentioned it, there is no need to say it so harshly." Jia Xu waved his hand and pretended that he had never said it.
