Chapter 510 The Shaken Hannibal
Chapter 510 The Shaken Hannibal
But after seeing Ying Yu's methods, Hannibal felt fear, even fear, for the first time!
"Then it seems that this time Scipio has fallen into a big fight this time. In order to solve the situation of Rome's internal and external troubles, he chose to marry Daqin, but he didn't realize that it was a sheep in the mouth of a tiger."
The adjutant said from the side.
"Do you think Scipio doesn't know this? He is also the highest consul in Rome. How could he not understand that the reason why Daqin married him was to lay the foundation for the annexation of Rome in the future? This is what the prince of Qin said. A trap set?"
"It's just that even though he knew it was a trap, Scipio had no choice but to step into it."
As Scipio's old opponent, Hanni was naturally very aware of his situation.
Compared with the trap that Ying Yu set for him, what Scipio is facing now is a more serious problem than this.
Nowadays, the armed forces of nobles in the Roman Empire are rampant, and some are even stronger than his regular army. This makes him, the supreme consul, have very little actual power. It may be okay to manage civilians, but it is almost impossible to manage nobles. up. "
Therefore, even if Scipio knew that marrying Daqin was to drink poison to quench thirst, he would definitely do it.
If it is done, at least Rome still has hope of developing. Even if Rome is really annexed in the future, Scipio can at least preserve his current status.
But if it doesn't, Rome won't last a few years and will fall apart.
And he himself will be kicked out by those dissatisfied nobles.
"However, I still admire him. He has the courage to fight against the nobles of Rome."
"If it were me, I'm afraid I would have been eaten alive by those corrupt nobles of Carthage before the news of my daughter's successful marriage with Prince Yingyu of Great Qin came out!"
Speaking of this, Hannibal couldn't help but feel a little sad for himself.
I did my best for Carthage, devoted myself to protecting Carthage from foreign enemies, and almost gave up all opportunities for enjoyment, but what kind of result did I get in the end?
It's fine if you don't have any commendation for winning a battle, and the Carthaginian nobles will stop you from chasing after the victory on the grounds that the cost is too high.
Those aristocrats who lost the battle were even worse, just like beating a dog in the water, catching them was humiliating and cursing.
If his parents, relatives and friends were not in the capital of Carthage, Hannibal would have led his army to wipe out this group of corrupt nobles!
Anyway, these people are useless, keeping them is just a disaster for the country.
Although the nobles in Rome are mercenary, greedy and selfish.
But at least they all understand the truth that when the Roman Empire is really in danger, they will still dispatch their own private army to expel foreign enemies and help the Roman Empire out of danger.
Daqin has a very good saying that there will be no eggs under the cover of the nest, but the pig brains of the nobles in Carthage seem to not even understand this truth, and they always only have their own interests in their eyes.
Hannibal even suspected that even if one day the gates of Carthage were about to be breached by others, those tribes would still guard their wealth.
Even if those invaders can guarantee not to damage their property, and can give some benefits, those nobles might not hesitate to hand over the entire Carthage to others!
Although such thoughts are a bit too extreme, but with the mercenary code of conduct of the Carthaginian nobles, these things are really possible.
Sometimes, as long as he thinks that he is protecting such a group of despicable villains, Hannibal really wants to quit!
"Hey, the interior of my Carthage has already been riddled with holes by those noble moths!"
The adjutant stayed by Hannibal's side all year round, so of course he was aware of the unfair treatment his general received from the nobles. .
After hesitating for a while, the adjutant continued to speak: "General, if you really can't do it, you can take us away! Anyway, now that Rome is married to the Great Qin, we are just waiting to die here, instead of letting our brothers go through life and death to protect the group of nobles." You bastard, you might as well take us out of here."
"As for where to go... If it doesn't work, let's go to Qin State. I heard that Prince Yingyu will not refuse anyone who joins him, and he doesn't care about the origin of the person. Even if you are a foreigner, as long as you have good character Correct, outstanding ability, will still be reused."
"Although I'm not sure what life will be like after I go to Daqin, my subordinates know that it will definitely not be worse than it is now!"
After listening to what his adjutant said, Hannibal's eyes flickered a few times.
In fact, Hannibal had already heard about the system of selecting officials in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Don't ask about the court, only talent!
But all talented people can get the opportunity to be an official in Daqin. They don't care whether you are from a poor or noble family, or which clan you are from.
As long as you decide to submit to Daqin and never betray Daqin forever, then you will be able to compete with other people of Daqin on the same stage, fair and just, and those who are talented in official positions will be selected.
A general like Hannibal, if he is not discovered and recruited by Ying Yu immediately, he can go to the martial arts selection by himself.
Moreover, Daqin's martial arts is not the literal meaning, it only tests one person's martial strength, because Ying Yu knows that the talents selected in this way are probably reckless.
Leading troops to fight a war does not mean that recklessness can win. No matter how brave your personal force is, if you can fight ten by one, can you still fight a hundred or a thousand by yourself?
Not to mention the current wars, which are often calculated in tens of thousands. In front of tens of thousands of soldiers, personal force is too small, and one person spit out sleep foam on you is enough to drown you!
Therefore, in the martial arts selection that Ying Yu specially proposed, the requirements for personal force are not high, as long as the participants' physical fitness meets the standard of being a soldier, and they are basically good at the six arts. It couldn't be more appropriate.
After all, he is quite old. Although his body is still strong, he is not as good as before. He usually commands from the rear when fighting. Fighting, he really can't stand it.
