Chapter 461
But after seeing the various methods of Fusu, Hannibal felt jealousy, even fear, for the first time!
"Then it seems that Scipio is planting a big fight this time, in order to solve the situation of Rome's internal and external troubles, he chose to marry Daqin, but he doesn't know that he is 1 and has attracted a more vicious beast!"
The adjutant said from the side.
"Do you think Scipio would not know this, he is also the supreme consul of Rome, how can he not understand that the reason why Daqin married him was to lay the foundation for the annexation of Rome in the future? This is the trap set by the prince of 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 was well aware of his situation.
Compared to the trap set for him by Fusu, Scipio now faces a problem that is even more serious than this.
Nowadays, the aristocracy in the Roman Empire was rampant, some even more powerful than his regular army, which made him, the supreme consul, have very little actual power, and it may be okay to manage the commoners, but it is almost impossible to manage the nobility. "
Therefore, even if Scipio knew that marrying Great Qin was to quench his thirst, he would definitely do it.
If it does, Rome will at least have any hope of developing, and even if Rome is really annexed in the future, Scipio will at least be able to preserve his current position.
But if he didn't do it, maybe he wouldn't even be able to last that little time, and he would have to be ousted by the disgruntled nobles, and Rome would be destroyed on the stage of history in internal and external troubles.
However, I still admire him for having the courage to be the enemy of the entire Roman aristocracy. "
"If it were me, I am afraid that I would not be able to wait for the news of the successful marriage between my daughter and the prince of Fusu of Great Qin, and I would have been eaten alive by those rotten nobles of Carthage!"
Speaking of which, Hannibal couldn't help but feel a little sad for himself.
In order to protect Carthage from foreign invasion, he almost gave up all opportunities for pleasure, but what was the result in the end?
If you win a battle, you don't have any commendation, and the Carthaginian nobles will prevent you from taking advantage of the victory on the grounds that the cost is too great, and those nobles who have lost the battle will fall into the well, like beating the water dogs, and catching it is a humiliation and scolding.
If it weren't for the fact that his parents, relatives and friends were all in the capital of Carthage, Hannibal would have led his army to wipe out this group of corrupt nobles! Anyway, these people are useless, and keeping them is only a disaster for the country.
The nobles of Rome were mercenary, greedy and selfish.
But at least they all knew the truth that when the Roman Empire was really in danger, they would still send their private armies to drive out foreign enemies and help the Roman Empire out of danger.
There is a saying in Daqin that there are no eggs under the nest, but the pig brains of those nobles in Carthage don't even seem to understand this truth, and they will always only have their own interests in their eyes.
Hannibal even doubted that even if Carthage's borders were about to be breached, the nobles would still hold on to their wealth.
Even if the invaders could guarantee that they would not damage their property, and that they would be able to give them some benefits, the nobles might not hesitate to give up all of Carthage to others!
Although this idea is a bit extreme, with the mercenary behavior of the Carthaginian aristocracy, it is possible that these things will happen.
Sometimes, as long as he thinks that he is protecting such a group of despicable villains, Hannibal really wants to just pick and choose!
"Hey, the interior of my Carthage has already been riddled with holes by those noble moths!"
The lieutenant stayed with Hannibal for many years, and of course was well aware of the unfair treatment he received from the nobility.
After hesitating for a moment, the adjutant continued to speak: "General, if you really can't do it, you can take us away! Anyway, now that Rome and Great Qin are married, we are only waiting for death here, rather than letting our brothers live and die to protect those noble bastards, it is better for you to take us out of here." "
"As for where to go...... If it really doesn't work, let's go to the Qin State, I heard that the prince of Fusu does not refuse to come to join the talent, and does not care about the noble and lowly background of the comeder, even if you are a foreigner, as long as you pass the assessment, you can also have the same opportunity to be an official as the Qin people. "
"Although I'm not sure what life will be like after going 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 heard about the system of selecting officials in Daqin.
Don't ask the court, meritocracy!
But anyone who is talented can get the opportunity to be an official in Daqin, and they don't care if you are from a poor background or a noble birth, or if you are from that clan.
As long as you decide to submit to Great Qin, and never betray Great Qin for eternity, then you will be able to compete with the other people of Great Qin, fair and just, and those with talented official positions will be elevated.
A general like Hannibal, if he was not discovered and recruited by Fusu at the first time, he could have participated in the martial arts selection by himself.
And Daqin's martial arts are not just a test of one person's force as the literal meaning suggests, because Fusu knows that the talents elected in this way are reckless nine times out of ten.
However, fighting a war is not reckless to win, no matter how strong your force is, you can fight ten at a time, and you can still fail a hundred?
Not to mention the current war, which is often calculated in tens of thousands, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, the force of an individual is so small that one spitting on you 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 meets the standard of being a soldier, and the six arts are basically good at it, which is very suitable for Hannibal.
After all, he is also a lot older, although his health is not bad, but it is not as good as before, and he usually commands in the rear when he fights, if he really lets Hanniba fight with those strong guys who grew up eating eggs and milk in Daqin, he is really a little unbearable.
The Great Qin Wuju does not have high requirements for personal force, and it is more of a test of a person's means of arranging troops on the battlefield, as well as the most important ability.
Because the battlefield can be different from the usual sand table exercises, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the situation may change all the time.
As a commander-in-chief, you must make the right choices in time and immediately when the situation on the battlefield changes, otherwise you will risk losing everything!
Negative examples, such as Zhao Kuo of Zhao State, usually when deducing the battlefield, all kinds of exquisite tactical theories emerge in endlessly, like a military god, but as soon as he got on the battlefield, he was slightly disturbed by Bai Qi and changed the military formation, and the whole person was stunned, which led to the destruction of the 400,000 army of Zhao State.
This is also the reason why Great Qin Wuju values the ability to adapt to changes.
And Hannibal is a top commander, and these martial arts tests are naturally not a problem. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
At that time, even if you can't get the top three such as champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, as long as you perform well, you can still hold an official position, so that Hannibal will have a chance to rise again!
Moreover, Daqin will also give you a large allowance every month, which is enough for you and your family to have no worries about food and clothing.
To be honest, Hannibal was already a little tempted.
But after much consideration, Hannibal only sighed heavily.
"Those nobles may be bastards, but Carthage is our country after all, and if we take even a step back, the enemy will invade our homeland and kill our sisters and compatriots! "
"Moreover, we are not hopeless at the moment, Scipio has only just taken over the general trend, and there are still many places in the whole of Rome that need to be renovated, and after he issued a new decree, all the nobles of Rome need to pay taxes, and the whole of Rome, large and small, is almost innumerable, and all at once, so many taxpayers have been added, and it will take a long time just to collect their taxes,"
"We can take advantage of this time 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 to catch them off guard!"
"This is our only chance to win, we must take advantage of it, otherwise, when Scipi settles down all the affairs in Rome and turns his head to unite with Great Qin, we will really have no hope.0"
"As for what you said about defecting to Daqin, I will think about it, but let's talk about it later. "
In the end, Hannibal was unwilling to give up his homeland like this. []
I plan to take advantage of Scipio's busy political affairs and can't take care of the war between the two countries for the time being, so he will give it a go!
So, on his orders.
The men and horses of the Carthaginian army no longer lay in ambush and hid, but all gathered on the side of the main army.
Strategic materials such as grain, grass, and weapons were also gathered together.
A war between Rome and Carthage is about to begin!
The next day, above the Xianyang court.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any important things to do recently?"
Ying Zheng waved his hand to let the civil and military officials below get up, with a smile on his lips.
"Your Majesty, since the horse farming experiment in Liaodong and other regions, it has been unanimously praised by the people, so this new cultivation method, in addition to the Liaodong region, other places that meet the conditions have also spread rapidly, solving the problem that many people cannot carry out reclamation and sowing due to the drought and density of the land. "
In addition, according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, most of the country has realized the cooperation of one agricultural tractor for every three peasant households, even in poor places, under the care of the imperial court subsidy, at least one agricultural tractor for every five peasant households. "
"With the progress of various agricultural tools, the efficiency of grain planting, cotton and spice cash crops has been greatly improved, and the output and economic effects have greatly exceeded the expected goals. "
As Shang Shuling, Li Si took the lead in coming out of the group of ministers, and Lang Sheng reported the good news to Yingzheng.
"Okay, if this trend continues, I believe that my Great Qin will soon be able to far exceed the agricultural output of other countries in the world with the strength of one country, which is a remarkable achievement!"
"It seems that it is one step closer to the modern agricultural construction mentioned by Fusu. "
Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, rejoicing at the booming Great Qin.
The construction of modern agriculture in Daqin is a prospective plan specially put forward by Fusu after seeing that all kinds of modern agricultural tools have been basically completed.
With the vigorous development of industrial technology, the casting of Daqin has been quite developed, and various modern agricultural tools such as agricultural tractors and Qin plows have been able to achieve mass production on the assembly line, and the durability is also very good.
Especially under Daqin's decree to benefit the people, all kinds of new agricultural tools are no longer chicken rib products that the rich can't use and the poor can't afford.
Nowadays, as long as the family has a little deposit of 5.5, they can easily change to modern farm tools, and now farmers are allowed to buy half of the loan, that is, when farmers buy modern farm tools, they can pay half of the money first, and the remaining half can be repaid with a monthly mortgage at an interest rate of 50 to 1 or even lower.
Whether it is plowing, sowing, or harvesting during the harvest season, the efficiency of modern agricultural tools is far from comparable to that of the old agricultural tools of the past.
Once modern agriculture is successfully built in all parts of the country, then Daqin's agricultural economy will be greatly improved again.
If the economy goes up, other aspects will naturally be able to drive continuous breakthroughs, and Daqin will also be pushed to a new height!
"Your Majesty, many small countries in the Western Regions want to become my Great Qin vassal states, and they respectfully call my Great Qin the upper country. "
"Moreover, there are many countries that plan to send their own princesses, who plan to enter the Great Qin Prince's Mansion to follow His Royal Highness Fusu, saying that they want to promote friendly exchanges between the two countries. "
Chen Ping walked out and played.
Since the news that Sophie, the supreme consul of Rome, was about to marry into the prince's mansion, there has been a wave of marriage with Daqin, to be precise, with the prince's mansion!
After all, now with the popularity of Daqin Daily, now all countries in the world, who doesn't know the strength of Daqin, people in every country want to marry their daughters into the crown prince's mansion.
Moreover, these people are also smart, knowing that their country is weak, not as big as Rome, and if they ask for marriage, they will definitely be refused.
Therefore, it is deliberately said that he is going to send someone to follow the prince in the prince's mansion, rather than being a wife and a concubine, and his status is far inferior to Thea and Sophie, so the probability of success will obviously be higher.
