Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

And even in some respects, the combat effectiveness of these aristocratic private armies is stronger than that of the government army!

If they were able to come to their aid, it would have worked wonders against the Carthaginian army that was resisting Hannibal.

"By the way, Lord Scipio, in addition to asking for assistance from Great Qin, we can first ask for assistance from other nobles. "

"After all, Daqin is too far away from our Rome, according to their Daqin's words, far water can't solve the near fire, and now Hannibal's Carthaginian army is pressing towards my Roman city step by step, even if it is delayed for a moment, it will cause great damage to my Roman land subjects!"

"At such a time of crisis, no matter how much those nobles and adults value their private army, they should understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, and because of the relationship between you and Great Qin, I believe that it is definitely not good for them to reject you directly. "

"If we can have the armies of the nobles and greats, and then join forces with our existing Roman army, not to mention repelling the Carthaginian army, we can at least temporarily block the pace of their invasion until the arrival of the Great Qin reinforcements. "

The consul Hucong was apparently aware of this, and made a suggestion to Scipio about it.

"Do you think I haven't tried?"

"They really didn't dare to refuse directly, but it was no different from this, or they were looking for an excuse to say that their own private army had been sent home by themselves, and gave me a perfunctory answer, or they simply did not give any reply, and pretended to confiscate my letter for help. "

"If you want to count on the armies of these nobles to come to the front to support, I'm afraid you will never be able to wait. "

Scipio's face was evident in his anger at these Roman nobles.

Of course, he knew that the best solution was to have the Roman army join forces with the nobles' private armies to fight the enemy.

Therefore, when he learned that Scipio's Carthaginian army was beginning to assemble and was about to attack their Roman city, Scipio immediately sent a letter requesting support to the nobles, no matter how reluctant he was.

But in the end, the result was nothing more than his own humiliation.

"Now that my Rome is in the midst of life and death, the common enemy should be what every Roman subject should do, and I thought that those nobles, even if they were selfish in ordinary times, would put the country first and send troops to support at such a time. "

"I didn't expect that these nobles and adults still have a posture of not caring about themselves, and they only think about preserving their own strength one by one, which is simply too unusual!"

"Don't those nobles know that the reason why they were able to live a life of luxury, food and clothing was entirely based on the kingdom of Rome?"

"Even their noble status as nobles is also given by Rome, and it can be said that without Rome, they are nothing at all!"

"The skin does not have hair, such a simple truth, I am afraid that if you ask a three-year-old child on the street of Rome, why don't these nobles understand?"

Upon hearing Scipio's reply, the consul Hu Cong was both angry and incomprehensible at the nobles' behavior.

Since they have the ability to win so many interests and rights for themselves, it is naturally impossible for them not to know this truth, but now the invasion of Carthage has not yet reached their bottom line. "

"With the selfish face of the nobles, unless Hannibal's Carthaginian army had already reached the Roman capital and threatened their territory, they would never risk losing their military power to come to the aid of the Roman army. "

"And most of these cities that the Carthaginian army is attacking now are mediocre in development, basically have no commercial development value, and there is no oil and water to fish, so it can be said that the only role is to defend in front of the Roman capital and block the invasion from foreign enemies for the capital. "

"For these cities, not to mention that only one has been lost so far, even if another ten or eight are lost, those nobles will not feel distressed at all. "

"Coupled with the reason for the implementation of the New Deal, I can offend these nobles in Rome miserably. "

"If nothing else, just the abolition of the tax exemption law for nobles alone will make almost all of our nobles in Rome want to drink my blood and eat my flesh raw!"

"If it weren't for the relationship between me and Great Qin, I'm afraid I would have been pulled down from the position of the supreme consul a long time ago, and my life might even be lost!"

"In this case, it would be good for the nobles not to fall into the trap for me, let alone let them send their own private army that they have cultivated at great cost to the front line to fight against the Carthaginian army.0"

Scipio snorted coldly and said with a mocking tone.

Since the Carthaginian army began to invade Rome, all the nobles in Rome have basically been waiting to see Scipio's jokes, and even wished that Hannibal's Carthaginian army would wipe out the Roman government army!

Because of this development, even with the great backer of Daqin, Scipio had to abdicate due to the pressure of the Roman people, which was undoubtedly of great benefit to their nobles in regaining power in Rome. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Therefore, Scipio, who knew all this, basically never counted on their power.

Although he said that he had sent them a letter of assistance before, he only had the mentality of giving it a try, and he did not place too much hope on it, and still put the expectation of blocking the Carthaginian army on the reinforcements of Great Qin. 1.3

"I heard that on the Great Qin side, under the vigorous reform of His Royal Highness the Prince of Fusu, the nobles of Great Qin have no privileges at all except for the advantages of status over commoners. "

"Although they have their own fiefdoms, they do not have complete autonomy, and many things have to be controlled by the central court. "

"Not to mention cultivating their own private armies like our Roman nobles, even the number of servants and miscellaneous servants in their fiefs will be severely limited, and if they are violated, they will be cut off from the title at least and their heads will fall to the ground!"

"And under the implementation of the Tui En Order, those princes and nobles could not keep their fiefs at all, and as their children and grandchildren continued to be born, the fiefs would gradually split up and become smaller and smaller. "。
