Chapter 698 The Four Emperors Resolution
Sima Ji would not do anything to these mathematicians at all. In fact, someone would definitely eradicate them. Just a hundred years later, the female mathematician, leader of the Neoplatonian school, was savagely killed by Christians. Her death marked the decline of Greek civilization, and the days of creativeness at the University of Alexandria will never return.
As for the Alexander Library, it was also burned by Christians. The Christian Principal Saint Diophirus led the fanatical believers to razed the Temple of Sarabem to the ground. The library located in it could not escape the fate of bad luck, and many books were either robbed or set fire to fire. From then on, the Alexander Library disappeared.
As for the argument that the Peace Church in some people burned the Alexander Library, it only appeared centuries later. Sima Ji thought this might be the frame-up of the Peace Church by Christians. In fact, many of the classics were preserved by the Arabs and spread to Europe.
To be fair, in fact, the ancient Peace religion was more civilized than the gay religion. The later religions must correct some other religious issues, just like the dynasties behind China will summarize the causes of the previous dynasties and make targeted corrections.
Even because he dived into Egypt, the fate of the Alexander Library was changed. Things could not be reversed, because the mathematicians here in Alexander were actually far inferior to those of Archimedes. The creativity was far inferior. The remnants of ancient Greek mathematics have now declined significantly.
The struggle between Christians and Roman Polytheism brought too many uncertain factors. Sima Ji did not think that these future disciples of mathematicians also had such a stable environment as they are now.
Once the required classics were copied, Sima Ji had almost completed the purpose of the Western Expedition. After that, he would see what he could get from the Roman Empire. It was good to get it, but he would not feel heartbroken even if he didn't get it.
When Alexander was in the midst of killing, Sima Ji was holding a piece of silk and making a dog-licking dog in front of Ataya, and said impatiently, "More than 20,000 people died? So many? Besides, that is their own business. I am not convenient for me to interfere with, and do not interfere with other people's internal affairs, especially empires of the same level. Just stay aside and watch. Diocle will deal with these rebels in the future."
For these troublemakers, Sima Ji used the troublemakers to use it and replaced it with another occasion. The bastards' heads fell off eight times. In fact, he had already decided in his heart that he would sell these Christians at a good price when he left. If Diocletian could afford the price, the King of Yan could do it himself.
He can help Diocletian support Rome, and naturally he can help Christians get rid of oppression. As long as the money is in place, Sima Ji is not looking for this reason at will? At present, it is not too much to charge some protection fees from Christians first.
Sima Ji doesn't need to say this, and his generals can understand it. Isn't the blood-stained gold? Can't they spend it? Besides, this is the Romans' own internal struggle, what does it matter to us Jin people?
Sima Ji chose an adjacent temple as his temporary residence and also as a warehouse of weapons and wealth for the army. He was not ready to leave before the copying work was completed. Even if Diocle came back first, he would talk if he could. If he couldn't talk, he would fight again.
In contrast with the riot Christians, Sima Ji's army expressed goodwill at the right time, and did not dare to say that it quickly stabilized the people's hearts, but at least it could be at peace with the locals.
He did not come to the country to establish a country, and he actually had no fundamental conflict with the locals. He would leave after doing his own things. These Christians were different. Under the end of summer operations of a certain cake king painting big cakes, Christians believed that their luxury of building a Christian country was not unfulfilled. After all, when they stayed in the Roman Empire, people would fall to the ground anytime and anywhere.
It has to be said that the King of Yan once again brought Christians into the ditch with knowledge of the development of history. The Roman Empire would recognize the status of Christians within a hundred years. The persecuted Christians today would in turn persecut other Roman polytheists in a hundred years. The Alexander Library and the many mathematicians in it were one of the victims.
The story of a brave man transforming into an evil dragon is not new. Besides, are Christians considered brave men? Sima Ji felt that it should not be considered a gold coin that he did not know his original owner's identity with his fingers.
"Follow closely the movements on the sea. If nothing unexpected happens, the Romans will fight back, but they always have to go ashore. As long as they are on land, I will not be afraid of anyone." Sima Ji ordered to his left and right, "If you do your last business, I will go back to the court. Don't take it lightly at the last moment, do you understand?"
After receiving a satisfactory reply, Sima Ji calculated the gains of this trip, which was a little lower than his psychological price. Then he sold the silk he brought to the Romans, and it should be almost the same. It was true that he had reached this point and he was still thinking about doing business with the Romans.
Is there any deep hatred between the two sides? Sima Ji still treats prisoners preferentially? The people in the city are all killed by Christians. Besides, the Egyptians who died were not Roman citizens. It is not completely impossible to expect the residents of Rome to sympathize with the residents of Alexander, but it is not very likely. To put it very fucking, the people of Youzhou didn’t feel much when they heard that the people of Yangzhou died.
It’s hard to live in this era, so how can I have extra sympathy to sympathize with the fate of others?
There was a small episode among them. The Christian actually wanted to bargain with Sima Ji. I don’t know if it was because the gold coins raised were not enough or was planning to cut off the money. Anyway, I just wanted the King of Yan to be cheaper for God’s sake.
"This is why I am unwilling to deal with the natives. I am unwilling to pay attention to them and always be arrogant. If it really doesn't work, I will release the captives of the Roman legion and let them suppress Christians. They will be shameless." This is not the first time Sima Ji has encountered such a thing. Sometimes the ruling class and the ruled must always show their strength, otherwise something will happen.
Those who play games always want to have free games for free, and it is best for the game company to lose money to coax them. Those who buy mobile phones want top-level configurations and all functions, but they want to only take the top-end mobile phones and take them home, and it is best to trade them for the old ones.
Sima Ji came to Egypt from thousands of miles away, just to contribute to the expansion of the Christian community? He scolded these Christians who could not distinguish between the big and small kings. This matter only strengthened the cooperation between the King of Yan and the ruling class, and was ready to buy Christians at a good price.
"Husband drinks water!" Anita was wearing silk, her enchanting figure twisting and twisting, showing a different beauty. When she came in, she happened to see the old gangster getting angry and quickly persuaded her carefully. She was not old, but in an environment where she had no relatives, she was deceived by the old gangster.
After the actual relationship, Xiao Maomei's status in front of the army also increased. After all, her blonde hair is quite recognizable. As soon as she came in, many generals greeted each other in the school.
"Okay, drink water!" Sima Ji changed into another face. He rarely got angry in front of women.
The one who is furious now is indeed not Sima Ji, but the proud Roman citizen. The name of the Roman Empire naturally comes from Rome. As the capital, the capital of any country has a superior mindset.
The news of Egypt's raid finally reached the city of Rome on the seventh day after Alexander's fall. Roman citizens were suddenly in a rage. The Romans who had been rampant in the Mediterranean for hundreds of years heard the news that the seven Roman legions were defeated, and even thought it was a rumor. Even if it was the powerful Persian Empire in the East, the capital Taisifon was defeated for less than ten years.
Now there has been a large army that I have never heard of, directly occupying the entire Egypt and annihilated all the Roman legions of Egypt? How is this possible? The subsequent news that came back supplemented all the details.
This naturally also included Christian riots and the incident of the enemy stabbing. This incident aroused unanimous anger among Roman citizens. You should know that the Roman Empire is now generally divided into two parts. The East under the control of Diocletian unanimously suppressed Christians, and although the western part of Rome also suppressed, extreme things rarely happened.
The fact that Egyptian Christians opened their doors to face the enemy aroused unanimous anger among Roman citizens, and led to Christians who were in a pretty good situation in western Rome.
There are Christians who were beaten to death in the streets everywhere, and there are even many Christians who are just suspected. This is just a folk reaction. For the four giants of the Empire, which are now gathering in Rome, things are even more difficult. They are not as straightforward as the people, but they are just as angry.
Compared to the invading enemies, being stabbed inside is always unacceptable. What's more, Egypt is so important to the Roman Empire. Now it is not occupied by the enemy, and there is also the Persian Empire that is ready to move. Who knows whether two different armies have lived peacefully in the heart of the Persian Empire for so long, and have secretly reached an agreement that is unfavorable to the Roman Empire?
Diocletian, who was originally preparing to abdicate, could not abdicate according to the original plan. The situation is unclear and external threats can be big or small. The empire's provinces are occupied, which is not a good time to abdicate.
"Egypt is too important to the empire, including the eastern region of Egypt, which is an important source of wealth for the empire. We must take Egypt back!" Diocletian shouted at the other three giants, "What do you think?"
"Yes, we must take back Egypt. We must assemble the army and prepare the warships to Egypt." The other three nodded one after another. For the two Caesars, this was their chance to become Augustus. But now the crowd was excited, and the two could not show their eagerness at this time.
