The Qin people reached a strategic alliance with the Jews.

On the east coast of the Mediterranean, an emerging force is rapidly rising. The road from Dongyang City (Damascus) to Jerusalem is being built. The cheering Jews are extremely excited about the free assistance from the Qin State. Once the road is opened, the goods unloaded from the Bay of Beirut can be shipped directly onto a carriage and then transported to the east without stopping.

This is a transportation line of wealth.

This is a lifeline that resurrects the Jewish nation from the adversity of survival.

In the face of the temptation of real interests, David, the Jewish king who led the Qin and You alliance, was pushed to the pinnacle of singing praises by nobles, merchants and the vast number of poor people. The fact is so strange. Just a month ago, David was almost seized from the throne by dissident nobles and elders because of his contact with Qin.

In mid-October, the Qin army general Li Zhongxiang, the captain Yang Yu and Zhou Ping led 6,000 Qin troops to Haifa Bay on the east coast of the Mediterranean. Their main task here was to help the Jews train a qualified army. Of course, in return, the Jewish merchants also invested a lot this time. They not only had to pay the food and accommodation supplies of the Qin army, but also had to pay the Qin State a ten-year advance to provide 50,000 troops.

This money.

According to Li Yuan, it was the protection fee for the Qin army to protect the Jews from foreign invasion.

Taking advantage of the weak Jews, they slaughtered them hard.

Li Yuan did not forget how powerful the army of Israel was in later generations. Five Middle East wars defeated the more with fewer defeats, almost defeating the descendants of Muhammad.

After hesitating for a while, David and other Jewish nobles finally agreed to this almost desperate condition. Over the years, the Jews have been suffering by the front generals of Alexander the Great. These fierce emperor subordinates not only love killing, but also frequently fuck each other. Even if the Jews can do business and have the ability to make money, they cannot resist endless requests.

Continent and ocean.

Alternating influence on the European continent.

The warm oceanic climate gradually weakened in November, and replaced by the cold currents from the northeastern Siberia and the Arctic Ocean.

The dry season arrives as scheduled.

The abundant sunshine of the whole summer has accelerated the ripening of the olive tree fruits on the Apennine Peninsula. Widths of fragrance float among the mountains, forests and fields, exuding an attractive fragrance.

The century-long war between Rome and Carthage has been marked in the past few months with an exclamation mark that made the Romans proud and the Carthages stamped their feet.

Hannibal was defeated.

Nearly one hundred thousand Carthage soldiers were captured.

More than ten important cities on the southern coast of the Mediterranean fell into the hands of the Romans.

Long live the Roman Republic!

Long live General Scipio!

Neither the Gauls, Germans, Saxons, Macedonians, Thracians, or Egyptians, were the opponents of the invincible Roman heavy armored infantry!

With strong confidence, the Romans began to float up, especially the powerful people in the Senate. After seeing Scipio, who was thirty years younger than them, became a hero, their hearts were filled with loss and jealousy, which made them even more unbalanced.

"Since Scipio is so good, let him become a hero alone. We old guys should enjoy the rest of our wonderful life."

Every morning when I wake up, I am surrounded by beautiful female slaves wearing only a little strip of cloth, and then as my master, I will do whatever I want.

Such temptation is the deadliest poison for a man.

"We are indeed not good at fighting, but who said we are not good at bed fighting?!" There were a group of slaves, including many beautiful young women. Under the stimulation of freshness, the old guys were full of fighting spirit.

Thinking of the beautiful and juicy young women begging me to take pleasure in the Senate, the old men with a deep breath and a scent of old bodies felt a majestic and high-spirited relationship between their legs.

The manor of the Grand Consul Fabian.

Located on the Athletic Mountain outside the city of Rome, on the layers of hills in this area, one large manor after another is scattered. Among the fields around the manor, teams of female slaves are naked, revealing their strong and drooping breasts, and walking past the ridge without any shame.

Not far away.

A team of Roman soldiers wearing bronze helmets, guarding round mirror armor on their chests, holding short swords, were moving quickly. At the front of the team, on the pure white tall war horses, the most outstanding general in the Roman army, Scipio, who defeated the Carthage commander Hannibal, stared at the front with a serious look on his face.

"Look, that's General Scipio, he's looking at me, wow, so handsome, so charming? How great would it be if I could have a hug for a night--!"

"Is it really General Scipio? I heard that the Senate has decided to hand over the command of the army to this young and handsome hero?"

"Don't think about it anymore, don't look at your identity. Working soon, the supervisor's whip is not forgiving people if you are too late." Several female slaves stared at the majestic and powerful figures, and their hearts were rippling.

Scipio.

Two years ago, this name was still unknown, and at best it was one of the many generals of Rome. A year ago, when the news of the victory of the Second Punic War came back to Rome, Scipio's fame immediately soared several times. Not only the upper senate of Rome, but also the nobles, but even the lowest-level slaves also talked about his name.

The female slave who was staring at Scipio was beating wildly in her heart, but she didn't know that Scipio, the great Roman hero, was furious at this time. If the arena was nearby, Scipio would not mind having a one-on-one hand-to-hand fight with the consul Fabian.

Heroes are always lonely.

The two most famous people in the Roman Republic in this era.

The young Scipio and the elderly Fabian reached a brief alliance in the face of the huge threat from Carthage, but after Hannibal's opponent was urged to collapse, the conflict between Scipio and Fabian began to intensify.

Different ideas.

This caused serious differences between the two Roman heroes.

Fabian's most famous feature is the procrastination tactics he adopted when dealing with Hannibal's army. In terms of governance, Fabian's philosophy is the same as his military performance, very conservative.

In contrast, the young Scipio was full of vigor. While the Qin army attacked the Middle East and the east coast of the Mediterranean, the Roman army under the command of Scipio not only occupied all important towns in Carthage except the capital, but also competed with King Philip V of Macedonia to control the Greek Peninsula in the east.

future.

The territory of Rome will span the entire Mediterranean, turning this vast and boundless inland sea of ​​the European and African continent into the inner lake of the Roman Republic. With such a grand goal, Scipio tried his best to lobby the senate nobles in the Senate to increase their investment in the army, but the result was not optimistic.

Defeat the strong rival Carthage, Rome had no rivals in the European and African continents. The nobles of the Roman Senate who relaxed from the danger of destruction of the country at this time were to indulge in joy, buy more slaves, cultivate more land, and then comfortably enjoy a beautiful life in their own manor.

"Rome, before it was time to rest assured, a powerful and terrifying enemy was emerging on our eastern border, that is, the Qin people from the far east -!"

Scipio's shouting at the top of his lungs only won him a few scattered applause. In the Roman Senate, there were really not many people who supported this kind of active war and were enterprising.

All the veterans who can represent one force are old and conservative old guys. It is precisely because of this that the Roman Senate has another name: the Nursing Home.

Scipio's description of the power of Qin made the elders ridiculous.

Qin people.

That distant oriental nation, a country thousands of kilometers away, actually wanted to come to the Mediterranean to fight for hegemony. Did they fly over with wings?

It is undeniable that the silk they produce is indeed a good thing. In the hot and hot summer, it feels cool and refreshing when worn on the body. Even if the delicate skin of a woman is so beautiful that he can't let it go.

Finally, in order to appease Scipio, the rising star in the army, the Senate decided to appoint Scipio as commander of the Roman Expedition Corps, and to draw 50,000 troops from all over the country to launch a war against the Antico Kingdom of Macedonia and the Thracians.

A Greek peninsula.

It should be able to satisfy Scipio's young ambition to make achievements? Fabian and the old guys were planning their own little thoughts, but the kindness they released was a humiliation for Scipio, who was ambitious.

Scipio's "friendly" move to contact Fabian did not bring much benefit to him. Although Fabian, who was treacherous and sloppy, received this rising star in the manor with a smile, he was really not interested in Scipio's proposal to increase the investment in the army, introduce technical craftsmen, and create new weapons.

Roman army.

It's already strong enough.

On the European continent, who can still be enemies with Rome? In this case, Scipio also demands the expansion of the army. What is this to do? Does Scipio want to engage in a military dictatorship?

Dictatorship and democracy.

The current development of the Roman Republic has gradually entered a bottleneck stage. In Rome, a country with a republic system, even the consuls have to be elected by the Senate. However, the advantage of this Senate's way of deliberation is that it can give all forces the opportunity to express their wishes, while the disadvantage is that no matter what the decision is, the process is extremely painful and long.

For a general who was strong and eager to prove himself on the battlefield, the waiting process was too desperate. The young Scipio complained to his colleagues more than once that if one day he had the real power of the army, then what the old guys in the Senate said would not obey.
Chapter completed!
