Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1163 Abolition of the Council of Elders

"Get out! Those old bastards actually asked me to give up the throne!"

Diocletian was furious. He was fighting fiercely with the people from the Central Plains, but found that the backyard was on fire.

The Roman Council of Elders asked him to reconcile with the Central Plains army, and voluntarily abdicated, allowing the former navy commander Abdul to take the throne!
How could Diocletian accept such a request?
He single-handedly ended the division of Rome from east to west, defeated the barbarians in the west, and now defeated the ever-growing Persian Empire.

He is a well-deserved hero in the eyes of the Roman people!

Diocletian could not bear the persecution of the Council of Elders, and Abdullah was not talented enough to lead Rome.

So take Diocletian to make a major and dangerous decision-abolish the Council of Elders!
Those pampered old guys have been discouraged by the enemies in front of them, and welcome the arrival of the Central Plains people.

At this time, Diocletian had to admire the strength of the Central Plains people!

Almost single-handedly arranged and planned their war between Rome and Persia.

Now that Persia has been defeated and Rome's troops have been greatly damaged, the purpose of the Central Plains people has become apparent.Diocletian was thankful, thankful for his ambition.

If he didn't want to take the ordnance of the Suzaku Legion as his own, how could he discover the various arrangements in the Central Plains?
If the Central Plains army is allowed to act quietly, Rome will have nothing to stop it!I can only watch the soldiers of the Central Plains rob them of their finances and endure the endless oppression of the Central Plains people.

When he came to the barracks, Diocletian climbed onto the platform and made an announcement that shocked the Roman soldiers!
His behavior directly changed the Roman soldiers' perception of the Central Plains people!
At this moment, the Central Plains army is no longer a friend to help them defeat the Persians, but a jackal who came from the far east to plunder them!
"Fight, warriors! We will fight for Rome, and we will expel the hypocritical Central Plains people!" Diocletian raised his arms and shouted!
"Fight for Rome!"

"..."

"Expel the Central Plains people!"

"..."

The soldiers were so angry that their anger turned into endless fighting spirit, and they looked extremely excited!

"Then, let's gather all our forces and expel those hypocrites!" Diocletian said again: "Before that, we must first dissolve the weak Council of Elders! They agreed to the conditions of the Central Plains people!"

"Dissolution of the Council of Elders..."

……

When the Roman soldiers rushed into Constantinople, the elders who were usually high above were trembling...

Gaining control of the Roman Empire easily, Diocletian's only enemies are Wu Shun and Abdullah in the Mediterranean!

The Roman navy was all under the control of Abdullah. In contrast, Diocletian could only order his troops to stay away from the Mediterranean coast to avoid the threat of the Central Plains naval guns.

……

……

In a military port in the Mediterranean Sea, Abdul was full of complaints. He didn't understand why Wu Shun stopped Diocletian's vain attempt to control Rome, allowing Diocletian to easily gain control of Rome.

If the Central Plains army went ashore, Diocletian might not be able to stop it, and the Suzaku Legion would not be besieged and bought a castle.

Because Diocletian completely controlled Rome, Suzaku's army was forced to a castle near the Mediterranean Sea.

Without the threat of the Jiaolong fleet, the Roman army's original idea was to drive all the people from the Central Plains to the Mediterranean.

"Xingba, Abdul has complained to you again?" In the cabin, seeing Gan Ning's relaxed and happy look, Wu Shun knew that Abdul was coming again.

"The Supreme Emperor is really clever, and he can't hide anything from you." Gan Ning said with a smile, "That old man Abdullah is here to urge the last general to use his troops again."

"Is he impatient to wait so soon?"

Wu Shun laughed.

"Yeah, I came here every day to ask questions, but I didn't dare to go ashore to compete with Diocletian."

Gan Ning pouted.

If it was him, he would have killed him ashore long ago, so he would not have the leisure to soak in the sea.

"This Abdul is not capable enough, but we just need someone like him. Let this person control Rome, and the whole western world will have no time for him." Wu Shun said.

Abdul's ability is not strong, but he has a great desire for power. He wants to own the whole of Rome, but he doesn't have the corresponding ability, so he now turns to the Central Plains for help.

For this reason, Abdul completely betrayed Diocletian.

"The emperor, why don't we go up and help that Abdul take Rome?"

Gan Ning asked.

From his point of view, defeating Diocletian was not difficult, the difficulty was who the Protectorate of Rome would send to take office.Rome is too far away from the Central Plains, and the generals in the court may not be willing.

Wu Shun knew that Gan Ning, a war madman, could not sit still. This battle was going to be fought, but it was better late than early!
So he said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, if Abdul asks you again, you can say that Diocletian is the hero of the whole Rome now, and it is not suitable to fight against him for the time being. collapse, our Central Plains army will help him realize his dream."

"What is the meaning of the collapse of the human setting?" Gan Ning asked.

The words that Wu Shun said occasionally were difficult for him to understand.

"Isn't Diocletian a hero of Rome now? It won't be long before the people of Rome will see his true face, and then he will lose popular support." Wu Shun explained.

In order to push back the Central Plains army, Diocletian forcibly abolished the Council of Elders who restrained him. Now he has the final say on the whole of Rome except the Mediterranean Sea.

Without the containment of the parliament, the principalities of Rome would lose their restraints. Coupled with the pressure on Diocletian from the Central Plains army in the Mediterranean, he would be forced to use the most direct means to suppress dissatisfied people.

As long as Abduller sent some people to contact those grand dukes who complained about Diocletian, Diocletian's advantage would collapse.

Diocletian was able to control Rome so easily, thanks to Wu Shun's cooperation.Diocletian would not have dared to abolish the parliament if the Central Plains army hadn't taken the initiative to retreat during the armistice.

……

……

When Abdul came to look for Gan Ning again, Gan Ning repeated Wu Shun's words to him, which also made Abdul's mind active.

On the shore, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Roman army, Diocletian continued to increase taxes. At first, the Romans thought that Diocletian was trying to expel foreign enemies, so they responded positively.

There was no movement from the Roman army behind, and the Roman civilians began to question it.

At this time, news about Diocletian's extravagant construction of luxurious palaces and wanton squandering came out, and the Romans expressed their indignation at what the dictator had done.

Again, all kinds of gossip about Diocletian's extravagance and prostitution emerged endlessly. After the public opinion plummeted, Diocletian wanted to make up for it, but by this time, the rumors had also become facts, which could not be explained clearly.

In order to rebuild his image, Diocletian knew that his chance was to defeat the Central Plains people and drive the Central Plains army out of the Mediterranean Sea.
