Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After half-truths and half-false explanations, Poppaea finally believed that Vannius had never thought of killing Caesar. The war between Vannius and Caesar was more due to a misunderstanding than between two careerists.  conflict - after all, compared with the Romans, who were delicate, cunning and fastidious, the Germans were simpler and more direct.  ([] )

    Afterwards, the exhausted Poppaea told the story of Caesar¡¯s assassination in the arms of Vannius.

    After being defeated and returning to Rome, Caesar found that he had lost not only a powerful army, capable assistants and political allies, but also his most valuable asset - the support of the people.

    The so-called Roman people are just such a thing - arrogant, impulsive, and easily incited.

    Originally, when Caesar brought hundreds of thousands of Gauls and countless trophies back to Rome as the conqueror of Gaul, when Caesar defeated the Egyptians in consecutive battles and re-pacified the situation in Asia Minor, Caesar was  The heroes of Rome were great men respected and worshiped by all people.

    And when the news that Caesar had lost nine legions in Belge came back to Rome, everything changed.

    I don't know when, a voice began to gradually spread in Rome - it was Caesar's appeasement and indulgence that made the Germans strong, it was Caesar's tolerance and indulgence that made the Germans arrogant, and in the end, it was Caesar's weakness and incompetence that ruined the nine nations of Rome.  Legion, but also ruined the dignity and honor of Rome.

    Such voices are repeated repeatedly, and as time goes by, there are more and more supporters and communicators.

    Caesar can defeat and kill his enemies through a series of battles.  But he could not fight against the Roman people.  Caesar could express himself through a series of speeches.  But he couldn't change the fact - as a result, Caesar's opponents in Rome became more and more numerous.

    As a result, with the support of the "Roman people", when Caesar proposed to raise new legions to fight the Germans, more than one-third of the senators opposed the recruitment of new legions, while the other one-third  Even opposed to continuing the war against the Germans.

    Therefore, when the envoys sent by Vannius arrived in Rome, Caesar had to ask the guards to drive Vannius's envoys directly out of Rome in order to prevent the Germans from making any remarks in Rome - which would only make Caesar  Get more naysayers.

    What¡¯s even worse is.  When Lucullus the Younger led the army across the strait and entered Greece, the senators actually proposed that Lucullus the Younger lead the army to continue the war against the Germans - which meant that the senators even had doubts about Caesar's military capabilities.  No more trust.

    In order to curb this obviously malicious attitude.  Caesar acted to weaken his opponents by indicting some of his opponents through his own allies and expelling those who opposed him most vehemently from Rome.

    However, this also made Caesar's opponents finally decide to use more violent actions to fight against Caesar - at another regular Senate meeting, a group of senators approached Caesar in the name of petitioning Caesar, and then launched an attack.

    The isolated Caesar was besieged by more than two dozen senators and was stabbed for more than forty times.

    By the time Caesar's guards and relatives arrived, Caesar's body had turned cold.

    And then, something even more unexpected happened - the day after Caesar was assassinated.  Lucullus the Younger entered Rome, escorted by his legions.

    In this way, it became obvious - the reason why those senators dared to assassinate Caesar was entirely because of the support of Lucullus the Younger and his army, and thus became emboldened.

    What¡¯s even more outrageous is that the senators immediately issued a decree to disband the remaining four legions loyal to Caesar.

    Such a decree immediately led to a mutiny.

    The angry veterans supported Labienus, the general appointed by Caesar for them, and started a fierce and cruel battle with Lucullus the Younger outside the city of Rome.

    In the end, when the Roman veterans defeated the legion led by Lucullus the Younger and massacred the scattered soldiers on the plain, Lucullus the Younger used the last resort-he conquered Asia Minor  Bring the cataphract.

    Thousands of armored cavalry charged from the flanks.  Completely destroying the formation of the Roman veterans and collapsing their resistance.

    Neither the Senate nor Lucullus showed even a little bit of kindness to the veterans who had made great achievements for Rome. At the end of the cruel day, the last four veteran legions under Caesar also  Cease to exist.

    At this time, the Romans heard the news that Vannius was marching into Italy again.??

    Not to mention the decision of the Roman senators.  At least, after hearing the news.  Poppaea, who was furious because she had lost almost all her relatives, immediately took her female companions, the soldiers of the Shenyin Assault Regiment who had been trained and trusted with her, to find Vannius and avenge Caesar.  ¡ª¡ªAfter all, in the final analysis, Caesar's death was caused by Vannius's elimination of Caesar's nine veteran legions.

    After hearing this, Vanius and Poppaea returned to the German military camp.

    Caesar's death surprised Vannius and frustrated him.

    Although he had known for a long time that Caesar had been assassinated by the Romans, Vanius still did not expect that the group of senators in Rome would be so stupid and short-sighted that they would disrupt the situation when the enemy was in front of them.  He assassinated an excellent commander and wiped out four powerful legions.

    However, now that Caesar is dead and Caesar's last four veteran legions are finished, Vanius will once again carefully consider the relationship between the Germans and the Romans - perhaps, this time, his envoys  We can have a good talk with the Romans.

    With this in mind, Vannius led his army back to the camp outside Nice, and at the same time sent envoys to Rome again to discuss relations between the Germans and the Romans.

    Because Caesar is dead, Vanius¡¯s conditions have become more stringent.

    First, the Romans must recognize the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Britain, the United Kingdom of Bilge, the Kingdom of Crete, the Kingdom of Geneva, and the Kingdom of Aquitaine, as well as the Kingdom of Thrace.

    Secondly, the Romans maintained peace with the above countries, carried out equal trade, and were not allowed to garrison troops on the borders with these countries.

    Finally, Rome will hand over Caesar¡¯s assassin and give Vannius an explanation ¨C after all, Vannius is Caesar¡¯s son-in-law.

    With these three conditions in mind, Vannius's envoys rode toward Rome on fast horses, escorted by German cavalry.

    Vanius himself sent Pluto and his army out again in order to liberate as many slaves as possible from the Po River Basin before the armistice agreement was reached.

    At the same time, Vanius also asked the Geneva army to escort the old, young, women and children back to the Kingdom of Geneva for resettlement.

    After fifteen days of waiting outside the city of Nice, Vanius finally got his envoy back.

    The Romans were willing to accept Vannius's peace proposal, but they could not fully agree with the specific conditions.

    Those new countries that were once the lands of the Romans, the Romans were willing to recognize their sovereignty and maintain peace with them - except for the so-called Kingdom of Thrace - because Thrace was still owned by the Romans at least so far.  Province.

    And the Romans also demanded that - if Vannius really wanted to maintain peace with Rome - the German legions should immediately withdraw from the province of Thrace and stop their aggression against Rome.

    As for the garrison issue, just as Vannius didn¡¯t trust the Romans, the Romans didn¡¯t trust Vannius either.

    Therefore, the Romans could not accept the request not to station troops on the border.

    The Romans would build fortresses and station legions on the borders - of course, the Romans did not object to doing the same for Rome's neighbors.

    And the last one was something the Romans would not accept.

    The senators assassinated Caesar to save Rome. They were not sinners, but heroes, just like Brutus in ancient times.  Therefore, no one with any sense of justice would punish them for assassinating Caesar.

    In addition to these conditions of exchange, the German envoys also brought Vannius a private message from Lucullus the Younger.

    In the letter, little Lucullus expressed his hope to find an opportunity to talk with Vannius and all the other kings in person to exchange ideas about the relationship between the two nations of Germany and Rome, as well as the many civilizations and countries in the entire civilized world.  things to develop and prosper together.

    This proposal made Vanius a little moved, but also made Vanius a little helpless.

    It has to be said that little Lucullus is a true idealist - until now, he is still thinking about common development and common prosperity.

    However, Vanius knew very well that Lucullus the Younger¡¯s idea would not work in Rome in this era.

    If nothing else, the Roman slavery system alone destined the Romans to be unable to develop together with surrounding countries and nations.

    And Roman civilization, in a sense, was based on the slavery system.

    If you want to solve this problem, little Lucullus will have to solve the problem of land annexation - which means offendingSome of the great Roman aristocrats¡ªand the Tarquin brothers were a lesson learned from their mistakes.

    However, even if he had no hope at all for Lucullus the Younger's proposal, Vannius still agreed to meet with Lucullus the Younger in Nice and have a good discussion - at least, this might bring benefits to the Germanic Kingdom and his allies.  They fought for peace for several years - for Vannius, as long as ten to fifteen years, which is one generation, is enough for the Germanic Kingdom to become a powerful country that is not afraid of Rome.  (To be continued)
