But after seeing Fusu’s various methods, Hannibal felt fear and even fear for the first time!

“It seems that Scipio is in a big fight this time. In order to solve Rome’s internal and external troubles, he chose to marry with the Qin Dynasty. Little did he know that he had attracted an even more ferocious beast!”

The adjutant said from the side.

“Do you think Scipio doesn’t know this? He is also the highest consul of Rome after all. How could he not understand that the reason why Qin married him was to lay the foundation for annexing Rome in the future? Is this a trap set by Prince Fusu?”

“It’s just that, even though he knew it was a trap, Scipio had no other choice but to step into it.”

As Scipio’s old rival, Hannibal is very familiar with his situation.

Compared to the trap Fusu set for him, Scipio is now facing a more serious problem than this.

Today’s Roman Empire The internal aristocratic armed forces are rampant, and some are even more powerful than his regular army. This makes him, the last consul, have very little actual power. It may be okay to control the civilians, but it is almost impossible to control the nobles..”

Therefore, even if Scipio knew that marrying Da Qin was a poison to quench his thirst, he would definitely do it.

If it is done, Rome will at least have hope of development. Even if Rome is really annexed in the future, Scipio can at least maintain his current status.

But if he doesn’t do it, he may not be able to survive even that time, and he will have to be ousted by the dissatisfied nobles, and Rome will also be destroyed on the stage of history due to internal and external troubles.

“But I still admire him very much. He actually has the courage to make an enemy of the entire Roman aristocracy.”

“If it had been me, I would have been eaten alive by those decadent nobles of Carthage before the news of my daughter’s successful marriage to Prince Fusu of Great Qin came!”

Having said this, Hannibal couldn’t help but feel a little sad for himself.

He worked hard for Carthage and gave up almost all opportunities for enjoyment in order to protect Carthage from foreign invasion. But what did he get in the end? What kind of result?

Even if you win a battle without any commendation, the Carthaginian nobles will stop you from chasing the victory on the grounds that the cost is too high. If you lose the battle, those nobles will add insult to injury, just like beating a drowned dog. Just catch them. Humiliating and scolding.

If his parents, relatives and friends hadn’t thought about it in the capital of Carthage, Hannibal would have led his army and wiped out this group of corrupt nobles! Anyway, these people are of no use, just keep them. Harmful to the country.

Although the nobles in Rome were mercenary, greedy and selfish, at least they understood the truth of the cold. When the Roman Empire was really in danger, they would still send out their own private armies to expel foreign enemies and help the Roman Empire. Out of danger.

There is a saying in the Qin Dynasty that is good, no eggs are left intact after the nest is overturned, but the pig brains of the nobles in Carthage do not seem to even understand this truth, and they always only have their own interests in their eyes.

Han Nibal even suspected that even if one day Carthage’s national gate was about to be breached by others, those nobles would still guard their wealth.

Even if the invaders could guarantee not to damage their property, and could give another Given some benefits, those nobles might give up the entire Carthage without hesitation!

Although this idea is a bit too extreme, but based on the profit-seeking code of conduct of the Carthage nobles, these things are really possible..

Sometimes, when he thinks that he is protecting such a group of despicable people, Hannibal really wants to give up!

“Hey, the interior of my Carthage has been riddled with holes by those noble moths!”

The adjutant has been with Hannibal all year round, and of course he is very aware of the unfair treatment he received from the nobles.

After hesitating, the adjutant continued:”General, if it doesn’t work, you can take us away! Anyway, now that Rome is married to Da Qin, we are just waiting to die here. Instead of letting our brothers go through life and death to protect those noble bastards, why not take us away from here?”

“As for where to go……If that doesn’t work, let’s go to Qin. I heard that Prince Fusu will not refuse talents who come to seek refuge, and he doesn’t care whether the person comes from high or low. Even if you are a foreigner, as long as you pass the assessment, you can have the same qualifications as the Qin State. Qin people have the same opportunities to become officials”

“Although I’m not sure what life will be like after I go to Daqin, I think it will definitely be more comfortable than living in Carthage!”

After listening to what his adjutant said, Hannibal’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker a few times.

In fact, Hannibal had already heard about the system of selecting officials in Da Qin.

Regardless of the family background, meritocracy is the rule!

As long as there is Talented people can get the opportunity to serve as officials in Da Qin. They don’t care whether you are born poor or noble, or which clan you are from.

As long as you decide to submit to Da Qin and never betray Da Qin forever, then You will be able to compete on the same stage with other people of the Qin Dynasty, fair and just, and those with talents in official positions will be promoted. If a general like Hannibal is not discovered and recruited by Fusu at the first time, he can still participate on his own Martial arts selection.

Moreover, Da Qin’s martial arts examination is not just a test of a person’s martial arts as the literal meaning, because Fusu knows very well that the talents selected in this way are likely to be reckless.

However, in war, recklessness does not mean that Win, no matter how powerful you are, you can fight ten people, but how can you fight a hundred people? Not to mention that today’s wars are often measured in tens of thousands. In front of tens of thousands of soldiers, personal Force is so insignificant that even a spit from someone is enough to drown you!

Therefore, in the martial arts selection specially proposed by Fusu, the requirements for personal force are not high, as long as the physical fitness of the participants reaches It is enough to meet the standards of a soldier and be basically good at the six arts. This is perfect for Hannibal.

After all, he is quite old. Although his body is still good, it is not as good as before. When fighting in peacetime, They were all commanding from the rear. If Hannibal was really allowed to fight those strong young men in Da Qin who grew up eating eggs and milk, he would really be a bit overwhelmed. The

Da Qin martial arts examination does not have high requirements for personal force, and it is more of a test. A person’s method of arranging troops on the battlefield, and most importantly, the ability to adapt to changes.

Because the battlefield can be different from the usual sand table exercises, with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the situation may change at any time. Changes will occur.

As a commander, you must make the right choice promptly and immediately when the battlefield situation changes, otherwise it is very likely to cause the whole game to be lost!

A negative example is Zhao Kuo of Zhao State, who usually When deducing the battlefield, all kinds of exquisite tactical theories emerged one after another, just like the gods of war.

But once they got to the battlefield, Bai Qi slightly disturbed and changed the military formation, and everyone was confused.

This led to the destruction of Zhao’s 400,000-strong army..

This is why the Great Qin martial arts competition values the ability to adapt to changes in circumstances.

And as Hannibal is a top commander, these martial arts tests are naturally not a problem. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

By then Even if you don’t get the top three picks such as No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, etc., you can still get an official position as long as you perform well. In this way, Hannibal will still have a chance to rise again!

Moreover, Da Qin will also give you a large sum of money every month. The allowance is enough for you and your family to have enough food and clothing.

To be honest, Hannibal was actually a little tempted.

But after thinking about it again and again, Hannibal just sighed heavily.

“Although those nobles are bastards, Carthage is our country after all. Even if we take a step back, the enemy will invade our home and harm our sisters and compatriots! In fact, from the moment we join the army, we have no way out. Our life begins and ends on the battlefield.”

“Moreover, we are not completely hopeless now. Scipio has just taken over the situation, and there are still many places that need to be reformed in Rome. Moreover, after he issued a new decree, all Roman nobles need to pay taxes, and the entire Rome is large and small. There are almost countless small nobles. Suddenly, so many taxpayers have been added. It will take a long time just to collect their taxes.”

“We can take advantage of this period to take the initiative to attack the Roman army! Scipio would never have imagined that I would take the initiative to attack the Roman army under such circumstances, just in time to catch them off guard!”

“This is our only chance to win, and we must seize it. Otherwise, when Xibi settles things in Rome and turns around to unite with Qin, we will really have no hope. 0”

“As for what you said about defecting to Da Qin, I will consider it, but let’s wait until later.”

Hannibal was still unwilling to give up his homeland in the end.[]

I plan to give it a try while Scipio is busy with political affairs and cannot take care of the war between the two countries for the time being!

So, under his command.

All members of the Carthaginian army no longer ambush and hide, but all gathered towards the main army.

Strategic materials such as grain, grass, weapons, etc. were also concentrated together.

A war between Rome and Carthage is about to begin!

The next day, above the Xianyang court

“My dear friends, do you have anything important to do these days?”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked the civil and military officials below to stand up, with a smile on his lips.

“Your Majesty, since Ma Geng was put into experiments in Liaodong and other regions, it has been unanimously praised by the people. Therefore, in addition to Liaodong, this new farming method has also spread rapidly in other places that meet the conditions, solving many people’s problems. The land is dry and dense, making it impossible to cultivate and sow.”

“In addition, according to the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince, most regions across the country have realized the cooperative model of one agricultural tractor for every three farmers. Even in poorer areas, with the care of the court subsidies, at least every five farmers have one. A farm tractor”

“With the advancement of various agricultural tools, Daqin’s efficiency has been greatly improved whether it is growing grain or growing cash crops such as cotton and spices. The output and economic effects have greatly exceeded expectations. Target.”

Li Si, as Shangshu Ling, took the lead to come out of the group of ministers and reported the good news to Ying Zheng in a loud voice.

“Well, if this trend continues, I believe that Great Qin will soon be able to far exceed the combined agricultural output of the rest of the world with the power of one country. This is an incredible achievement!”

“It seems that we are one step closer to the modern agricultural construction that Fusu mentioned.”

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, feeling very happy for the booming Daqin.

Daqin’s modern agricultural construction was a prospect plan specially proposed by Fusu after seeing that all kinds of modern agricultural tools were basically in place.

In the development of industrial technology With vigorous development, Daqin’s foundry has now become quite developed. Various modern agricultural tools such as agricultural tractors and Qin plows can be mass-produced on the assembly line, and their durability is also very good.

Especially under Daqin’s government order to benefit the people, various new agricultural tools It is no longer a useless product that the rich cannot use and the poor cannot afford.

Nowadays, as long as every farmer has a little savings of 5.5 at home, they can easily replace it with modern farm tools, and farmers are now allowed to buy half and half borrow, that is to say, When farmers purchase modern agricultural tools, they can pay half of the money upfront, and the remaining half is repaid monthly with an interest rate of 50 to 1 or even lower.

Modern agricultural tools are highly efficient whether they are used for farming, sowing, or harvesting during the harvest season. They are far from comparable to the old farm tools of the past.

Once modern agriculture is successfully constructed across the country, Daqin’s agricultural economy will once again improve a lot. As the economy improves, other aspects will naturally lead to continuous breakthroughs, and Daqin will also benefit from this. Be pushed to the next level!

“Your Majesty, many small countries in the Western Region want to become vassal states of our Great Qin, and respectfully call our Great Qin the superior state.”

“Moreover, many of them plan to send their own princesses to the Prince’s Palace of Qin to follow His Highness Fusu, saying that they want to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries.”

Chen Ping came out and said.

Ever since the news came out that the Roman supreme consul had banished his daughter Sophie to marry into the prince’s palace, there has been a wave of marriage with the Qin Dynasty all over the world. To be precise, with the prince. The trend of palace marriages!

After all, with the popularity of Daqin Daily, everyone in the world now knows how powerful Daqin is. People in every country want to marry their daughters into the crown prince’s palace.

And these people are also smart and know My country is weak, not as big as Rome. If I ask for marriage, I will definitely be rejected.

Therefore, I deliberately say that I am sending someone to follow the prince in his house, rather than being a wife or concubine, and his status is far inferior to Theia. , Sophie and the others, their chances of success will obviously be higher…
