“To put it bluntly, the reason why Rome is in such chaos now is precisely because there is no one force with absolute dominance that cannot suppress the nobles of all sizes.”

Fusu’s few words clearly clarified the current situation and interests in Rome.

“Rome can be formed because of dozens of like-minded federal forces, so in the past few decades or hundreds of years, it will naturally be divided because of the left-wing opinions of these dozens of federal real forces.”

“Just like the previous enfeoffment system, the first and second generations just now could still obey the orders of the central emperor because they were blood relatives.

The princes and emperors were closely connected with each other in everything.

However, later on, the bloodline was thin, and the central emperor gave too many vassal states.

Freedom led them to develop one by one in their respective territories, which led to the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that lasted for hundreds of years.

“In today’s era, only centralized power is the only right way. If there are multiple voices in a country at the same time and there is no figure who can hold an absolute position, the country will be like a horse being led by multiple reins at the same time. In the end, it will not only be unable to move even an inch , and how could it not be divided?”

Ying Zheng said with empathy.

Before the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the situation of Rome was very similar to that of Rome at this time. Scipio at this time was equivalent to Ying Zheng at that time, but now one has succeeded, and the other There is still a long way to go

“Indeed, Rome’s internal and external troubles did not give us the opportunity to annex them. Father, do you still remember that I once said that we would capture Rome? Fusu said with a slight smile.

“Well, if”030″ wants to completely complete the great cause of unifying the world, the Western Region is our primary goal. Rome, as a powerful country in the Western Region, is definitely an obstacle that cannot be bypassed. It will be a matter of time to capture Rome sooner or later, but regarding this issue we Didn’t we discuss it before, and the result was to postpone it for a few years? Fusu, you already have a new plan in mind?”

Ying Zheng asked.

As early as when they jointly built the railway with Rome, Fusu and Ying Zheng had already discussed the issue of capturing Rome.

At that time, because Rome and Da Qin were really far away, there was no territorial control. Border, not to mention the time of war, the Qin army will cause greater losses due to unfamiliarity with the homeland. Even if it really captures Rome, it will not be able to connect the two countries’ territories at all, and will also be subject to The crazy resistance of the local residents.

Although Persia is relatively close to Rome, Persia and the Seleucids have just been merged into the Qin territory.

The proportion of Qin people is still very low.

Although due to various policies that benefit the people and the threat of the army, the Seleucids The ancients have not made waves for the time being, but as the saying goes, people who are not of my race must have different minds.

If you want to rely on them to defend Rome and assimilate Rome into a part of the Qin Dynasty, it is almost impossible.

It is precisely because of these factors, The matter of capturing Rome was temporarily shelved by Ying Zheng and Fusu.

“Could it be that the Suez Canal has been dug? Or will the railway to Rome be built successfully?”

Ying Zheng suddenly thought of this.

When Fusu was digging the Suez Canal and laying the Roman Railway, he had already mentioned to him that in addition to strengthening trade cooperation between the two countries and promoting the further development of the national economy, it was also to capture Rome. Be prepared, now that Fusu mentioned it again, Yingzheng naturally thought that things had changed.

“Of course not. Whether it is digging a canal or laying a railway, it is a major project that requires a lot of financial, material and manpower. Even though Daqin’s industry is developing very rapidly and the power of steam engines is constantly improving, even in these With the help of machines, those big projects cannot be completed so quickly. Fusu shook his head.

Even in the modern society of his previous life, digging canals and laying railways were still big projects, let alone thousands of years ago in the Qin Dynasty, even if the times were accelerated through the industrial revolution. process, but it is still very backward in many aspects.

According to the current project speed of Daqin, it is better to lay the railway within Rome. At least people from Rome will cooperate in the construction, but the Suez Canal was built by Daqin Excavating it alone, not to mention that even if the construction of these two projects is successful, it will still require later practice and maintenance before it can be truly used for military purposes. It is impossible to complete it in just a few years.

“In fact, the reason why my son suddenly mentioned the capture of Rome was because of Scipio’s marriage to me, the Qin Dynasty. This was a good opportunity.”

“In the past, our Daqin only attacked Rome on a small scale and did not launch a formal offensive. This was entirely because our Daqin was too far away from Rome. Even if it was defeated, it would not be able to connect it to the country. Even if people are stationed there, the conquered land will still be returned, but it will be in vain.”

“In addition, because of the strength of the Qin Dynasty and its oppression of the Romans in business, Rome has always been very repulsive to the Qin people. Even trade has been squeezed out a lot, let alone entering Rome. This has made the Qin Dynasty infiltrate Rome. Difficulties abound, difficult to carry out”

“But after the marriage, our Da Qin has established a friendly relationship with Rome, which is equivalent to in-laws. With such an identity, the trade between our Da Qin and Rome will be much smoother, and our Qin people will appear in all walks of life. , and even penetrated into Rome, which will undoubtedly be of great help to Qin in localizing Rome in the future.”

“In addition, I also mentioned before that the reason why Rome is in such chaos now is because there is no force that can suppress the nobles from all over the country. After the marriage, we can naturally help Scipio become like this. power, and used his hand to end the current situation of the division of Rome”

“Of course, while providing help to Scipio, our Da Qin Dynasty continued to send officials and soldiers, using the excuse of supporting Scipio, to place these people around Scipio and gradually penetrate their senior officials. In order to unify Rome, Even if Scipio knew what our purpose was, he would not refuse. This is an absolute conspiracy.”

“And by the time Scipio truly completed his mission of unifying Rome, our people had already turned into numerous overt and covert chess pieces. Even if he had the idea of resisting the Qin Dynasty, he would still be shackled by the many people we had installed inside Rome. , nothing can be done, ultimately powerless”

“At this time, the railway to Rome and the Suez Canal have been largely completed. With convenient transportation, Daqin can safely take Rome into its hands.”

Fusu told Ying Zhenghe the plan he had set up.

There are two reasons why Fusu decided to support Scipio.

One is that Scipio is Sophie’s father, and Sophie married into the Qin Dynasty. , which is equivalent to Scipio being the father-in-law of the Qin Dynasty. He changed from a foreigner to a relative of the Qin Dynasty in one fell swoop. From a certain level, his relationship was naturally much closer than that of other nobles in Rome.

Second, Scipio Although he is now in prison, Hannibal’s Carthaginian army is eyeing him outside, and there are conflicts among the armed forces of the separatist nobles in various places. The force he has in his hands is not large or small, which is very embarrassing.

But in terms of status, he He is still the supreme consul of Rome, and the soldiers under his command are all regular troops, and he is still widely recognized in the hearts of the people.

Moreover, Rome is now in turmoil, and wars are happening almost every moment. In such an environment As a result, people in various areas of Rome have become fierce. From the seventy-year-old man to the six-year-old child, all of them know how to kill. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

They Each one of them was extremely brave and unafraid of death. They were simply born war machines.

At this time, Scipio’s own appeal and prestige in Rome were revealed. As long as they were given some help, Scipio would soon be able to Recruit local troops and expand an army strong enough to crush other separatist forces in Rome.

With this army, I believe it is only a matter of time before Scipio defeats the Carthaginians and even unifies the entire Rome.

The third is Scipio His ability is strong enough, he is a good talent, and he is smart enough.

He can lead the Roman Orthodoxy to survive internal and external troubles, and even when the Roman heroes are divided, the Roman Orthodoxy can always have a place, and even survive in many countries. Occupying a certain dominant position among the strong is already quite remarkable and definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve.[]

If he hadn’t been born in the wrong place, trapped in a country like Rome that was in decline and could not be saved no matter how wise he was, and had the invincible Fusu as his opponent, Scipio would definitely be able to go down in history. A generation of wise kings.

Because of this, when working with talents like Scipio, he knows how to maximize the benefits of the resources Fusu has given him, and ultimately turn them into greater benefits and give them back to Fusu. Otherwise, if he is supporting a fool, So no matter how much resources Fusu gives him, and no matter how much Da Qin supports him, he will never be able to achieve arrogance. 0

And the advantage of working with such talents is that their minds are very clear, and they know what they should and shouldn’t do. do what.

After Scipio unified Rome, he would be ambitious and want to conquer more countries, even the Qin Dynasty! This is normal, but any ambitious person will think so, let alone a person like Scipio who has great experience and strategy.

But what is different from ordinary people is that they may just do whatever they think of, but a smart man like Scipio does not. He knows very well how everything about him came about, especially after experiencing the amazing power of Da Qin. After suffocating his strength, it was an insurmountable mountain, and he also knew more clearly what the consequences of resisting Da Qin would be.

Such smart people cherish their lives very much and would never be stupid enough to use their own lives to win an absolutely impossible future. Fusu likes to cooperate with such smart people.

When the Qin Dynasty incorporates Rome into its territory in the future, Scipio will be able to be used by the Qin Dynasty. I believe that by that time, he will be able to make a great contribution to stabilizing the situation and allowing Rome to be fully integrated into the Qin Dynasty.

“Fusu, your plan is indeed very thorough. With the complex situation of Rome, it would not be good for us, Great Qin, to intervene forcibly from the outside. Supporting Scipio and letting them solve internal problems internally will make them attrition and weaken each other. The overall strength of Rome, on the other hand, can also radiate Qin’s influence through Scipio, strengthening Qin’s control over Rome in the future, which is simply perfect.”

“However, I still have to say that there should be a limit to the help we can provide them. For example, items such as steam engines and ships must not be provided to them. Otherwise, if the core technology is leaked, it will be If you helped the Romans secretly learn it, you would probably become someone else’s wedding dress.”

Ying Zheng reminded

“Concerning this point, my father can rest assured that wars have been raging in Rome in recent years, and the slightly younger peasants have been captured to become men. As a result, large areas of fields have not been cultivated at all, and they have gradually degraded into wasteland. In addition, Due to the locust plague in recent years, Rome’s food reserves were extremely short.”

“Therefore, in Erchen’s vision, Da Qin’s support for Scipio only required a certain amount of food, money or weapons, and there was no need to fund advanced technological products such as steam engines.”

“Taking a step back, even if the situation in Rome changes and we have to invest in high-tech 4.0 products in Scipio, complex and sophisticated mechanical products like steam engines cannot be built just by thinking about it. Even if you already know the core technology, if you don’t have sufficiently advanced steel-making manufacturing technology, it is basically impossible to manufacture it.”

“And this kind of machine has almost no redundant parts. Every part is a whole, which can be said to affect the whole body. In many cases, there may be a problem with just a small screw assembled inside, and the machine may not work. will work again”

“With the current situation of Rome being divided and broken, the level of science and technology is probably not as good as before, let alone compared with the current Great Qin. It is simply impossible for them to process such fine parts. Therefore, it is natural for them to Steam engines and other appliances can only be elusive.”

Fusu has never been one to suffer losses. Naturally, he has already thought about Scipio’s affairs.

“Now that you say that, I’m relieved”

“Speaking of which, you saw Scipio’s daughter Sophie just now. What do you think?”

Ying Zheng said with a smile.

His image instantly changed from the Emperor of the First Emperor who ruled the world and denounced Fang Qiu, to an old father who loved gossip. This huge contrast made Fusu dumbfounded.

“Reporting back to my father, Princess Sophie is innocent and charming. She is naturally a rare beauty in the world. She is also extremely filial and can be regarded as a rare virtuous woman.”

Fusu knew that he couldn’t escape, so he had to answer truthfully.

“It seems that you have a good impression of her. In fact, I also have a very good sense of this little girl. She has a vitality that Daqin women do not have.”
