Chapter 1279: The Curtain Call After the Five Sage Emperors
The roars in the Roman Parliament did not affect the peace of the Central Plains at all, and the fighting in the Roman Coliseum could not change the current confrontation of swords and guns in the Central Plains.
The same invincible empire, the same empire that began to fall because it had no rivals, also stepped on the corpse of another powerful empire to ascend to the throne. What constrained both sides was not the distance, but their own invincibility.
As long as the pace of conquest does not stop, the dividends of the war can keep the country going, and all conflicts can be transferred away. The empire is so confident that as long as it is undefeated, all problems can be solved by war.
If there is not enough land, let us start a war; if there are not enough resources, let us start a war; if there are too many internal troubles, let us start a war; as long as we win, then everything will not be a problem, and victory will be a problem for these two currently super-large empires.
Say, that’s never a problem!
Don't be afraid that the enemy is too strong, but be afraid that there will be no enemy. The war between Han and Hungary lasted for more than a hundred years, and the Han Dynasty was not destroyed because of it; the war between Rome and Parthia lasted for more than a hundred years, and Rome did not lose its country and family because of it.
, on the contrary, those who let them fall from the peak and fall into internal fighting are all dead!
"Boom!" Severus punched the stone platform with a dull sound, which directly stopped all the elders of the council from speaking.
"What Rome needs is not your wrangling here. We in Rome need a unified voice. This is the Senate, not the vegetable market!" Severus glanced at everyone coldly. Before this, Severus' words and deeds had never been
He has never been so decisive, and his vision has never been so sharp.
"The Han Empire is so far away, how could there be a conflict between us?" a senator wearing silk and gold buttons asked rhetorically.
"Seven hundred years ago, when we were still on the Roman Peninsula, we never thought about ruling the entire Mediterranean, nor did we think about having a Hundred Years War with Parthia, let alone that distant country, but now!" Severus
His eyes scanned all the elders sharply.
"If we stop now, the Han Empire will still move towards us. What should we do with it on that day?" Severus looked at all the elders of the Senate majestically.
If Severus had been keeping a low profile before Ganassis came, then after the news of Ganassis arrived, Severus, who had already surpassed everyone, no longer hesitated at all. He wanted to truly be crowned emperor, and
It’s not like it’s being restricted like now!
"But the scope of our current rule is too huge and we cannot rule it well." A noble asked with a little awe after seeing Severus' majestic look.
"Problems will always arise, but as long as we keep moving forward, they will be solved sooner or later. If we keep focusing on these aspects, Rome could not even go out to the peninsula, so how could it own the entire Mediterranean!" Severus
He replied proudly.
"I don't care what selfish desires you have or how dissatisfied you are with me, but I stand here today and I am responsible for the future of Rome. At first we only owned the Roman Peninsula, but now we own the entire Mediterranean. The future is up to me.
Putimius Severus turns on!" Severus' eyes sharply scanned all the senators, and no one dared to look at him at this moment!
If the era of the Five Wise Emperors was the last glory of Rome, then Septimius Severus was the final rite of passage for the Roman Empire. He suppressed the civil strife caused by the death of Commodus and pushed Rome's military to its extreme.
Destroy the Parthian Empire.
You must know that the Parthian monarch during this period was Vorogis V. Although he was considered a semi-rebel, he forcibly suppressed the seven Parthian nobles in his hands, allowing Parthia to struggle out of the pit of betrayal.
Even relying on the imperial foundation of Parthia itself, it recovered part of its vitality in a few years, and then took advantage of the civil strife in Rome to conquer Mesopotamia, that is, the Mesopotamia, and once again took back part of the territory that originally belonged to Parthia.
Parthia's national fate, which was about to be destroyed, seemed to have been injected with fuel again and burned like crazy during the reign of Vologis V. However, unfortunately, his magical powers were not as good as those of Heaven. After Severus completely consolidated the internal forces of Rome, he personally led his troops to suppress it.
The last trace of Anxi's national destiny was lost.
Although the young Vologes V still wanted to struggle at that time, he lost the entire Mesopotamia to Rome with little room for a counterattack, and Ctesiphon, the capital of the country, also lost to Severus, laying to rest the last trace of national destiny.
It has since been destroyed.
Although there was Volgis VI and so on later, only a small area of his actual rule was left, and even so, the country was still in chaos.
Of course, Severus also died at that time, and Rome was also in civil strife. Parthia was beyond its reach, otherwise there would be no need to record this coexisting history. Then the Sasanian dynasty rose, and Parthia was completely reduced to history.
Generally speaking, if Volgis V had not collided with Severus, Anxi's last trace of national destiny would never have been destroyed. Even under the rule of Volgis, Anxi regained the status of Mesopotamia and spent several years cultivating.
After resting, you can once again have the appearance of an empire.
Similarly, for Rome, it is not rude for Severus to be the final curtain call of Rome's glory. No matter how arrogant Severus' character is, no matter how proud he is, at least in his era as Roman emperor,
Rome completely ended the fate of its great enemy!
In this era of Roman curtain call, no matter how much blood there is and how many parliamentary senators are beheaded by Severus, as the Roman emperor, Severus at least ensures the strength of the Roman army.
The emperor who was taking his last breaths also remembered to tell his heirs to ensure the interests of the Roman soldiers!
It can be said that the person who brought an end to the era of Rome's prosperity was not Severus, who suppressed civil strife in Rome, basically destroyed the Parthian Empire, and gave Roman soldiers the most generous rewards. Although he was not the best emperor in Roman history, he was the most powerful emperor of his era.
This was probably the most powerful era in Rome's history!
This is an emperor on horseback. He has the common problems of all generals, but this common problem may still be a good thing for an empire that is about to be divided. Even if he tramples on the law, even if he violates the republic, the empire must follow his will.
March!
Even if he is criticized by thousands of people, even if more than half of the nobles in the Senate disagree with him, and even if the people's assembly does not approve his decree, his army will turn his decree into reality!
Fortunately, this time, half of the nobles did not veto Severus. Although Severus' narrative did not meet the requirements of the Parliament, he stated everything clearly. Rome really cannot continue to be in civil strife. They need a unification
