I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 531 Use the corpses of Romans to build a temple in Beijing and send Caesar’s head to Chang’an!

In the First Parthian Battle, all 80,000 Roman troops were destroyed.

Ten thousand people died under the artillery of the Han Empire, 20 thousand people died from trampling on each other, 20 thousand people were trampled and chopped to death by the Han cavalry, and more than 10 thousand people fell into the water and died.

The remaining 20,000 people became prisoners of the Han Empire-after all, they were the lucky ones in the Roman army.

The entire battle, or rather the entire massacre, lasted for two days and one night.

After everything was over, the valley of the Tigris River was filled with layers of corpses of Romans, and most of the river was blocked by dead corpses.

The water of the Tigris River flowing down was even brighter red, and its stench reached into the sky.

There were less than two thousand casualties among the Han soldiers, but all the swords of the soldiers were cut and curled.

Pompey's body was finally found in a small puddle. The arrogant consul was trampled to death by the fleeing Roman soldiers.

His whole body was black and blue, his eyes popped out and hung from his eye sockets, and his internal organs protruded from his mouth and buttocks.

The executioner who suppressed the Spartacus uprising probably never thought that he would end up with such an ugly end.

Before this battle, the impression of the Han Empire on Europeans was that it was kind, wealthy, but could be bullied.

This is a good name that is praised, and it is also an excuse for being bullied.

On the long Silk Road, countless businessmen of the Han Dynasty lost their lives at the hands of others because of this.

In the past, the Han army could not leave the Western Regions, so it naturally could not solve this problem.

Now that horses are drinking from "young rivers", they should be taught that big men "cannot be bullied".

Although Han Zeng was born as a general, he was also very knowledgeable. He decided to use one sentence to warn the world: "Those who offend the Han will be punished no matter how far away they are."

This sentence comes from "Zuo Zhuan": "Jun Yong built a military army, and collected the corpses of Jin as a capital."

So Han Zeng built ten temples near the city of Ctesiphon.

The corpses of 60,000 Romans were collected and piled on both sides of the road thirty miles north of Ctesiphon in a structure that was wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.

All Europeans who came to rest from the Roman Republic could see this dozens of meters high temple and feel the oppression and fear from the east.

The cannon used by the Han army also received a romantic and terrifying name in Latin, "Dragon Roar".

A month later, news of Pompey's defeat and death reached Rome.

At the age of thirty-four, Caesar succeeded Pompey as consul.

While gaining power, he was also kidnapped and coerced by public opinion.

Although Caesar did not want to launch a war in the East, the Senate did not agree.

Amid the clamor of rebellion, Caesar mobilized 100,000 Roman troops and launched the Second Parthian Campaign.

However, this massive expedition ended in an extremely ridiculous way.

When Caesar was passing through the Land of Stars and Moon under the escort of the general's guard, he was suddenly attacked by a group of Han Changyi Lang who was on patrol.

Although the Han nation is a farming nation, they have been at war with the Huns for hundreds of years and have extremely high combat literacy.

After the Xiongnu moved westward, the Han cavalry galloped on the plateau plains tens of thousands of miles between Congling and Taixi Feng. Their combat power far exceeded the level of the cavalry of the farming civilization.

The combination of high-quality iron tools, the unique discipline of farming people and the stimulation of military titles created a cavalry that could sweep across nomadic peoples.

Although the Roman Empire was powerful, the number of cavalry was small and their combat effectiveness was low.

Some people even say that the Roman cavalry was used to escape.

Although the cavalry in Caesar's general guard were the best in the Roman army, they were still vulnerable to Chang Yilang, who had experienced hundreds of battles.

After several rounds of charges, the general's guard was completely defeated.

Caesar, who had just taken over as consul, was shot by a stray arrow from nowhere and fell from his horse. The military lord who accomplished this great victory was named Jingmei, and he came from an extremely humble background.

Jingmei cut off Caesar's head and sent it along with the captives to Han Zeng's tent. After embalming, they were sent to Chang'an City.

There were many factions within the Roman Republic. When the military commanders in charge of the army learned of Caesar's death, they all led their troops to retreat and compete for the position of consul.

This huge country suddenly fell into chaos.

At this time, the remnants of the Huns who escaped from northern Parthia to Europe launched a western expedition, forcing the barbarians on Rome's western border to move westward in advance to attack its border.

The Roman Republic, which had lost a large number of Roman veterans and fell into civil war, was unable to resist the invasion of barbarians and Huns.

In the end, they had to recruit some barbarians and use them to resist other barbarians.

In this regard, the decline of Rome came earlier than in the original timeline.

At this point, the Roman Empire's eastward expansion had completely stopped, and it no longer had time to take care of the Parthian Empire.

Liu He immediately issued an edict to establish the Protectorate of Anxi in Taixi and the Protectorate of Central Asia in Lanshi City.

The process of reforming the land and returning it to the countryside, stationing troops in the fields, relocating the Hu people, populating the Han people, and promoting New Confucianism... all the processes were familiar.

At this point, the extraterritorial territory controlled by the Han Dynasty had doubled, and it even controlled important transportation arteries on the Eurasian continent.

To completely digest this large piece of land, the time required may be measured in hundreds of years.

But for the Chinese nation, once they start, they will never stop.

In this vast land, those seemingly powerful and warlike nations were really too primitive in front of the big Han.

There is no complete national administrative system, no unified ideological system, no cohesive spiritual core, and insufficiently high productivity...

In this case, it is impossible to reach the expansion pace of the Han Dynasty.

If Liu He came to this world later, religion would have appeared in Central Asia, West Asia and Europe, and the Han Dynasty might have encountered some obstacles.

But at this time, religion was still in its infancy and was not enough to unite the scattered ethnic groups.

This is Dahan's best opportunity to expand.

In the twelfth year of the Reform, the jurisdiction of the Parthian Protectorate and the Central Asian Protectorate has become increasingly stable, and Eurasia has entered a new page.

While the Han Dynasty was making impressive progress on the mainland, good news also came from the sea.

On the third day of March in the twelfth year of Reform and opening up, on the day of Shangsi Festival, the wind was warm and the sun was beautiful.

Blown by the warm and gentle southeast monsoon, three dilapidated Penglai sailing ships quietly sailed into Quanzhou Port.

The boatmen at the port recognized the Chinese flags and stamps on the ship at a glance.

This was the sailing ship that set out to search for America a year and a half ago and belonged to Higashi Fuso Company.

There were seven ships in total when the entire fleet set off, but now only three ships have returned, and they are extremely dilapidated. Even the sails have been patched.

But the people gathered at the dock were particularly excited. They seemed to have heard good news.

These three sailing ships are the three sailing ships that have been overseas for the longest time. After sailing on the vast ocean for so long, there must be good news.

Sure enough, after the ragged, bald and thin sailor rushed off the ship, the news that the big man had been waiting for for more than ten years spread like an explosion.

America was discovered.
