Chapter 552

Constantinople is very lively every day, and a large number of oriental goods are sold, causing a rush of buying by merchants. And Peter also invited the special envoy to have a banquet in the palace. Finally, the war was over, and Peter was about to let himself go.

One glass after another of wine was consumed, and Peter's cheeks became a little red. But he is happy. After the war, can't he still enjoy it?
Looking at the dancers below and listening to the compliments from the minister's envoy next to him, Peter felt a little carried away. Now that the overall situation has been decided, as long as no one else takes action, it will be a matter of time before the Roman Empire returns to dominate Europe.

"His Majesty!"

Peter heard a shout. It was Listerine. He was back from vacation so soon?

"Oh, it's the Prime Minister. I heard that you went to Cyprus for vacation and you came back so soon?"

"I have received some news before I arrived in Cyprus, so I came back quickly to discuss it with His Majesty."

Peter was curious as to what news made the prime minister panic. Until an urgent notice from Syria was delivered to him, Peter had no intention of attending the banquet. There was a massive rebellion in Syria, and it was Jewish.

Rome has always had a tolerant policy towards the Syrian region. Rome has not made such an action since the last time it expelled the Jews. And Jerusalem still has their own section, but the Jews don't care about that. Without saying anything, they started an uprising in Idlib in northern Syria and attacked everywhere. Now they have 30,000 troops.

"Let everyone come to the Senate immediately, quickly!!!"

The emperor's order was quickly carried out, and all members came to the Senate. They also learned about what was happening in Syria on the way and cursed the Jews for their shamelessness.

Although Rome is not as friendly to them as Lithuania, it is still very tolerant. They only need to pay an extra amount of money to live peacefully. Is this what they use in return?

Christian was the first to come to the Senate. When he saw the emperor staring at the map of Rome on the wall with a gloomy expression, he knew that these people must not be allowed to stay, and they might not even have graves.

"His Majesty…"

"Don't say anything else. Let me ask you, how many troops does the empire still have in Syria?"

Christian immediately told the statistics: "The empire has 7000 troops in Damascus, 3000 in Beirut, 6000 in Aleppo, and 2000 in Tripoli. In addition, there are 20000 troops in Palestine and 10000 troops in Antioch."

These people are standing troops and have rich experience. Although the Jews are very vocal, most of them are untrained people. Apart from their unity, they don’t have much to brag about.

"Let Woike lead the army to the north quickly to wipe out the rebels, and tell him that there is no need to keep people, otherwise we will waste food." Peter was really ruthless this time. This group of people is really a cancer in society, and wildfire cannot burn it. When the spring breeze blows, it will grow again. Every time it is destroyed, it will always grow again.

This is not the first time they have been cruel. During the wars of the ancient Roman Empire, the Jews carried out massacres in many places. They even ate the flesh of the victims, beat their tendons, smeared their bodies with their blood, and wore clothes made of their skins. Clothes; many were sawed in half from head to toe. Others were thrown to wild beasts or forced to fight each other like gladiators, and 22 were killed in Palestine alone.

Among them, the existence of the Zealot Party has pushed hatred to the top. During the first Roman-Jewish war, Jerusalem was about to fall, and the Zealots did not even think about negotiation or surrender. They killed the envoys who persuaded them to surrender, and coerced ordinary people into street fighting with the Romans.

Some Jewish families actually ate their own children and family members in order to resist. When the Romans failed to attack the Jerusalem temple with a battering ram, they set it on fire. As a result, a fire swept through the city and countless residents were burned to death.

When they opened the city gates, they saw only a hellish scene in Jerusalem:

The Jewish and other nationality resisters burned down all the buildings, and 960 defenders, regardless of age or sex, committed mass suicide. The most cruel thing is that Judaism prohibits suicide, so they draw lots to help others commit suicide. That is, the husband hacks his wife to death, and the wife stabs her husband to death. Children kill old people, I stab you, and you stab me before you die... The last one is left to commit suicide by taking poison.

After the war, Rome increased its surveillance of the Jews, but the other party immediately launched the Second Revolt. And this time they also persecuted other believers.

But this time the Roman Empire lost patience with the local Jews who had repeatedly rebelled, so they took crazy revenge: Emperor Hadrian ordered that all Jews were not allowed to enter Jerusalem for life, and moved the local Jews to various parts of the empire. Other peoples migrated there to fill the Jewish province, and at the same time, the Jewish province area was renamed Palestine.

They wanted to enjoy the overall benefits of the Roman Empire while also ensuring their own uniqueness. If they had to resist forcefully, the results would be tragic. And if the Jewish rebels insisted on doing so, then no matter what the outcome, the Jews must accept it and be willing to admit defeat.

"Your Majesty, what will happen to those people after the suppression?" Listerine asked.

Peter spoke unhurriedly: "After the suppression, issue an order to the whole country. Whether they are men, women, old or young, whether they are gasping for breath or about to run out of breath, all of them must gather together for me. No matter where, we must make it impossible for them to escape.”

Peter was completely disappointed with this group, so why was he not grateful? If that's the case, then he has nothing to say. It's not modern anyway. You will be praised for doing this, and anyone who dares to sympathize with the Jews will be expelled from the church. You can decide for yourself.

And the fact is just as Peter thought, the Jews are massacring local Alawites and Orthodox people. In order to protect themselves, they could only flee into towns such as Aleppo, and those who ran slowly naturally became the objects of fun for the Jews. All kinds of cruel techniques were used, and churches and monasteries were burned down. Antiochus Pastor The Prime Minister and the Patriarchate of Jerusalem directly called on everyone to exterminate the Jews, and the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem was abolished. All the synagogues were demolished and the local Jews were rounded up for exile in the Syrian desert.

Not only the Orthodox Church, but also the Alawites, Druze, Armenian Church, and even the local Catholic Church have unanimously called on everyone to jointly attack Judaism, which shows the cruelty of the other side.

Jews can't meet people. When they see people, they will preach their stories endlessly. Originally, I wanted to kill them directly, but in the current situation, I was afraid that someone would kill the heretics to make up for the loss, so I gathered together first and then made the next move.
