Chapter 799 How strong is Caesar's internal affairs? Assassinate Caesar!
Outside the sky.
Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang saw the scene on the sky curtain. Caesar was majestic and entered Egypt as a suzerain.
First, he met the extremely beautiful Cleopatra.
Then helped Cleopatra seize the throne.
Afterwards, he returned to Rome with the beautiful queen.
Enjoy the collective watching, cheering and applause of the citizens of Rome.
Yang Guang thought about the many women he had played with.
But the queen has never played it.
In addition, Cleopatra on the sky curtain is extremely gorgeous and her clothes are very hot.
Yang Guang, who was watching this, couldn't help but say with envy: "A real man should be like this!"
Of course, Yang Guang was not simply attracted by her beauty.
Instead, he analyzed:
"Egypt was a weak country, Rome was a strong country."
"Caesar, as the leader of a powerful nation, simply married the queen of Egypt."
"This was equivalent to bringing Egypt almost under Roman rule."
"Although Cleopatra was still nominally the ruler of Egypt."
"But in fact, one could even consider her a Roman governor."
"It's just that this governor is loyal to Caesar, not to the country of Rome."
"That is to say, Caesar not only expanded his territory effortlessly, but also gained control of at least half of Egypt."
"At the same time, he was able to embrace the stunning beauty Cleopatra."
"Haha, wait until I conquer Goguryeo."
"I heard that Goguryeo is also rich in beautiful women."
"If it is not easy for the Great Sui to directly rule Goguryeo, then making a Goryeo queen my beloved consort seems to be a good choice."
Yang Guang looked at the sky, and in his mind he was already imagining himself leading his army to conquer Goguryeo in the future.
A bright future of marrying a beautiful Goguryeo woman.
The sky curtain also continued to broadcast Caesar's glory.
[After ending the civil war, Caesar completely began his career as the leader of Rome. ]
[He was given a bunch of titles, such as dictator for life, consul, general, and patriarch.]
【After taking power, Caesar launched drastic reforms. 】
[He revised the calendar and created the Julian calendar, which has been used for more than 1600 years. July is named after him.]
【The city of Rome was expanded and the famous Caesar Forum was built. 】
[Give welfare to the poor and reduce debts…]
[Every reform was precisely tailored to the needs of the Roman people. ]
[He also engaged in a major image project by printing his profile on coins, creating a precedent for "leaders on currency."]
[The key is that the new currency became the unified currency of Rome and was circulated throughout the world. ]
【Caesar understood a truth well:】
[He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the best way to win the hearts of the people is to make them feel that they can get something for nothing by following you.]
[Caesar reformed the provinces and established the eighteen provinces that formed the basis of Rome.]
【The so-called Eighteen Provinces of Luodi. 】
[He granted partial Roman citizenship to people in provinces such as Gaul and Spain, allowing them to enjoy Roman welfare.]
[Tied these newly conquered provinces even more closely to Rome.]
【Improve the status of teachers and doctors, and grant citizenship to everyone regardless of their ethnicity.】
[Giving unemployed refugees and retired veterans the land of overseas provinces not only appeased the veterans, but also established their own forces in various places and expanded Rome's influence overseas. ]
[He also reorganized the Senate, expanding it to 900 people, and included many ordinary citizens, merchants, craftsmen, and even Gaul tribal leaders in the Senate.]
[After the expansion of the Senate, the new senators all sided with Caesar. ]
[And with so many people, the Senate will no longer be able to reach a conclusion. ]
In the picture of the sky.
A group of bearded Gallic tribal chieftains, incongruously dressed in Roman robes, entered the Senate, the core institution of Roman power.
Barbarians and nobles huddled together.
This slightly funny scene also caused many comments in the barrage.
"This is a clever move, diluting the Senate."
"The Gallic beggar has come to Rome."
"Gallic Chieftain: I am already a Roman. I even wear a toga."
"Li Shimin also brought a large number of Turks into the palace to dilute his power."
《Song Jiang's operation.》
"Does a private placement dilute equity? Diluting equity will abolish the board of directors. "
"Barbarians entering the Senate? No, does this conform to Zhou Li?"
"Cicero: Look, we have senators who cannot understand Latin or Italian."
"The Barbarians are actually the local elite, no worse than the so-called elders."
Canopy.
[Thus, Caesar took away the power of the Senate, the tribunes, and the Citizens' Assembly, and established a power system concentrated in the dictator.]
[At the same time, Caesar, who is good at politics, is also good at governing the country and dividing the cake. ]
[After physically defeating the remaining armies of the aristocracy, Pontus, Numidia and other restless vassal states. ]
[Caesar has given enough sticks and started to extend an olive branch. 】
[Because the fierce internal strife in Rome had lasted for nearly a hundred years since the late Republic. ]
[Caesar pardoned almost all of his enemies and used a tolerant policy to bring peace to Rome, which had been in chaos for nearly a hundred years.]
[The Roman state also prospered under Caesar's reforms. ]
……
Outside the sky.
Qin Dynasty.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he finally put aside his previous prejudice and showed a look of obvious appreciation.
In Ying Zheng's view, Caesar's military achievements were not worth mentioning.
Although Ying Zheng also knew that when it came to leading troops to fight personally, Caesar might indeed be stronger than himself.
But as a national leader, judging from the territorial expansion, he led the Qin Dynasty to sweep across the six kingdoms, and the enemies he defeated and the lands he conquered far exceeded Caesar!
As the first emperor of Qin, I absolutely crush Caesar in this regard.
However, at this moment, after seeing Caesar's series of political, economic and social reforms, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng suddenly felt like he had met a soulmate.
Ying Zheng said slowly: "It can be seen that this ancient Roman Caesar is indeed a very knowledgeable person."
"He not only ended the nearly 100-year-long struggle between the Senate, the nobility, and the common people in Rome."
"The key is his governing philosophy, which is to strengthen centralization and concentrate national power to accomplish great things!"
"It will allow Rome to have a core that stands out and make him the real ruler of Rome."
“This is exactly what I want.”
"So it seems that Caesar is able to quell civil strife and defeat foreign enemies with his military power."
"Wen was able to centralize power, reform ills, and manage the huge and ethnically complex Rome to prosperity."
"It is worthy of the high evaluation given by Tianmu at the beginning."
Fusu also stood quietly beside Ying Zheng and listened to his father's evaluation.
Then he bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Father is right. Caesar the Great was able to implement such reforms in Rome and bring new vitality to the country. He is truly an extraordinary person."
"The situation in Rome was complicated, with many class conflicts, but Caesar was able to find the crux of the problem." "He integrated the forces of all parties by using the strategy of centralization."
“This insight and courage is worthy of admiration.”
"However, father, you founded the Qin Empire and unified China. The laws of the Qin Empire are strict, and the government's orders reach all directions, making the people loyal. I'm afraid Caesar can hardly achieve such achievements and results."
Of course, Fusu was not just a flatterer.
Fusu also continued: "It's just that I feel that although Caesar's reforms are effective, they may affect the interests of many parties and may cause changes in the future."
"When you, Father, implemented the reform, you also encountered many difficulties. Fortunately, the foundation of the Great Qin was solid, so it was able to proceed smoothly."
"Rome's situation is different. I don't know if such a drastic measure can last long."
……
The sky continues.
[But the old nobles in the Senate were not happy.]
[The conservative senators thought that Caesar was going to be the "emperor"! ]
[Although Caesar claimed: I am not the emperor, I am just Caesar. ]
[But the elders still saw that the republican system was going to end! ]
[My Roman Republic is doomed! ]
[The ancestral law is about to change, and the elders have to stand aside. ]
【Thus, a conspiracy was quietly brewing.】
【This also brought about Caesar’s death.】
[And this death is also very popular. ]
[On March 44, 3 BC, Caesar went to a meeting as usual, but was caught off guard and stabbed to death by a group of senators in the theater.]
[60 senators stabbed Caesar 23 times in the Theater of Pompeii.]
[Many of the murderers were people he once trusted.]
[Brutus was especially loved by Caesar, and was even rumored to be Caesar's illegitimate son.]
[It is said that when Caesar discovered that Brutus, whom he particularly trusted, was among the assassins, he said: "And you, Brutus?"]
【Then he covered his face with his cloak and waited for death.】
[After Caesar died, people discovered that he had already made a will. ]
[He also distributed the inheritance to every Roman citizen.]
[This wave of actions directly made the Roman people cry bitterly, those who assassinated him. ]
[Originally he claimed to be saving the Roman Republic, but in fact he became the public enemy of Rome and was soon liquidated.]
[Although Caesar is dead, his influence has just begun. 】
[Caesar's adopted son Octavian took over his scepter, established the Roman Empire, and became the first emperor. ]
[Caesar's "The Gallic War" and "The Civil War" are not only important historical documents, but also literary classics. ]
[The language is concise and powerful, and the war scenes are described in an immersive way. Even modern military strategists are still studying it.]
【Looking back on Caesar's life, from a marginalized person in the aristocratic circle to a lifelong dictator. 】
[It can be seen that Caesar is well versed in marketing and knows how to build personal IP, how to create topics, and how to maintain popularity. ]
【Fighting, writing books, reforming, and falling in love, everything is going well. 】
[Even his death was so topical. ]
【It has become the eternal classic of death. 】
[What he left to future generations was not only the prototype of the Roman Empire, but also countless classic quotations and legendary stories. ]
【“I came, I saw, I conquered.”】
[“The dice has been cast.”]
[“And you, Brutus?”]
[These words are still quoted today.]
[Not to mention the name "Caesar", which later became a synonym for "emperor". The Russian word for "tsar" and the German word for "emperor" both originated from "Caesar".]
【It can be said that Caesar was not an emperor. 】
【He became the "Emperor" himself.】
[This person used his life to prove that if he wanted to leave his name in history, he would be remembered forever.]
【Life can either be lived brilliantly or died sensationally. 】
[It’s best to have both! ]
The video ends here.
Barrages of comments flew out one after another.
"What a pity, the Qin Shi Huang of Rome belongs to me."
《Jingluo sheds tears.》
《The Jing Gong and Luo are ecstatic! 》
"Caesar actually had no intention of becoming emperor. He rejected Antony's advice in public and even carved a note on a stone pillar to show his determination."
"Caesar: If destiny is with me, I wish to be King Wen of Zhou."
《The Republic is the orthodox Roman Empire! Down with the tyrannical Roman Empire! 》
"Forget it. Without reforming the imperial system and sticking with the classical aristocratic republic, Rome would not survive more than 100 years."
"Caesar died not on his way to conquest, but at the hands of a group of people he considered his friends, and whom he defeated on the battlefield and then forgave."
"Brutus, my son, why is it so?"
"Brutus is Lu Bu from ancient Rome, right?"
"Being assassinated by the person I forgave is still not cruel enough."
"So Octavian learned his lesson later."
"In fact, Caesar wrote in a letter that he would not regret it even if the person he had forgiven killed him in the future."
"A sharp review of the assassination of Caesar in Italian textbooks: the self-indulgence of the retro-minded."
"Success is due to tolerance, failure is also due to tolerance, Caesar is still too sentimental."
"Perhaps the ultimate cause requires a ruthless person to carry it through to the end."
"Fortunately, Caesar's reforms were carried forward by Octavian."
"After assassinating the tolerant Caesar, here comes the iron-fisted Octavian. The old nobles have suffered the consequences of their own actions!"
"I could have at least been a rich man. Wait, I'll show you Octavian's methods in the future!"
"Although Octavian was not good at fighting, he was a pure political animal. In comparison, Caesar was more versatile and more emotional."
"If Caesar and Octavian were placed in China, which emperor would they correspond to?"
……
And outside the sky.
Outside the sky, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng fell into silence after watching the video.
When Ying Zheng saw the shattered scene of Caesar being assassinated on the sky curtain and the collapse of his imperial empire, he felt very heavy in his heart.
Although Caesar was only the emperor of a foreign country and had no connection with the Qin Dynasty.
But witness the efforts Caesar made to unify the empire and centralize power.
I saw that he made the country prosperous and strong, but his ambitions were not fulfilled.
His career was forcibly interrupted, and Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
"Caesar on the sky, his work was ultimately unfinished."
"But judging from the spoilers in the comments, Octavian later inherited his career and fulfilled Caesar's long-cherished wish."
After saying this, Ying Zheng stopped talking and thought silently in his heart:
I still have many great things to accomplish, but God is not willing to live long. I am afraid that until my death, I will not be able to truly complete all the reforms I want to implement.
Caesar still had Octavian to carry on his ambitions.
But after I die...can Fusu really inherit my ideas and continue the great cause of the Qin Dynasty?
Unfulfilled ambitions often make heroes cry.
Ying Zheng sighed and looked off into the distance. (End of this chapter)
