Severus, who had already planned to turn against the big man, naturally didn't want to take it seriously again.
"Go back and tell the Emperor of Han that the Emperor does not intend to end the payment."
Severus said harshly.
Thinking that the Han envoys would be angry, they took advantage of the situation to take down all the Han people.
But he didn't expect that instead of being angry, the Han envoy smiled understandingly.
"My Majesty has long expected that you would say that. My Majesty said it's okay, and it's a gift for you."
The words of the Han envoy made Severus a little ashamed.
Hanhuang actually has such sincerity, more than 300 million dinars, if you don't want it, don't you want it?
As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, so he doesn't know how to do it to the Han people.
The Han envoy continued with a smile,
"Your Majesty the Roman Emperor, I think you are still very unfamiliar with these weapons. Please allow me to introduce you to the names, functions and power of these bombs. After that, I will give you a practical demonstration."
Severus thinks it's okay, he really wants to know how these powerful firearms are made!
Disguised Vologis V and Suwei Deva I also followed him.
However, they always kept a certain distance.
The Han envoy still had a very friendly smile on his face, "Come closer, please rest assured that these firearms are very safe and will not explode casually."
This Chinese envoy is born with an affinity that can make people let down their guard.
Moreover, Severus and others still think that the big man does not know their ambitions.Moreover, the Han envoy himself was in the car, so he couldn't blow himself up too.
So he moved a little closer.
Vologis V and Suwei Deva I were equally curious, and the three of them and some important officials all surrounded the Chinese envoy.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Rome, what you are about to witness is the greatest invention of our great man—the double-ying bomb, which was invented by our two imperial concubines."
nitroglycerin bomb,
Inventors: Huang Yueying, Xin Xianying
So Liu Bian named it Shuangying Bomb in recognition of their contributions.
"It's powerful, even if it's only the size of a fist, its lethality is enough to reach a width of ten feet!"
"There are three vehicles of Shuangying bombs here, enough to level the enemy's camp!"
The Han envoy introduced it seriously.
"They are also very simple to use. You only need to open the safety device, then ignite with an open flame or receive a violent impact, and the explosion will occur."
"It's like... like this!"
While talking, he pulled out the safety device of one bomb without warning, then held two bombs in his hand, and collided with all his strength!
"not good!"
"Stop him!"
"Run away!"
Severus' guard chief reacted the fastest, and rushed towards Severus, trying to save him.
However, it was all too late.
The two bombs were violently collided and exploded instantly!
With a loud bang,
The flames set off tens of feet high, and the terrifying impact instantly overwhelmed the Han envoy and the surrounding people!
At the same time, guards in two other vehicles also set off bombs.
The three vehicles add up to more than 200 catties of explosives.
One-third of them are double-ying bombs, which are extremely powerful.
As the Han envoy said, it is enough to raze this place to the ground!
After a series of explosions,
No one survived within a hundred meters!
Nine Han envoys, Roman Emperor Severus, Parthian Emperor Vologis V, Guishuang Emperor Suwei Deva I, and more than [-] high-ranking officials from the three countries were all blown to pieces.
Originally, I just wanted to blow up Severus, but I didn't expect to get a surprise!
……
Chapter 536 Rome is divided into two, Xu Shu's chance
The mushroom cloud raised by the explosion completely dumbfounded the surrounding soldiers.
For a moment, their brains went blank!
In the Roman Empire, the emperor is gone, the captain of the guard is gone, and the captain of the knights is gone...
On the side of the Anxi Empire, the emperor is gone, the chief minister is gone, and several governors and consuls are gone...
On the side of the Guishuang Empire, the emperor is gone, the regent is gone, and the military and political officials are gone...
According to the classification of the big men, this bombing reimbursed their emperor, first-rank officials, and many second- and third-rank officials!
The highest command level of the empire collapsed in an instant!
For ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, this is no different from the sky falling.
After a long time, until someone with a higher rank appeared, the situation gradually stabilized.
While cleaning up their mess, they gave speeches to boost morale!
They also want to obtain explosives manufacturing technology, but the three vehicles of explosives have all exploded, leaving only some gunpowder residue and shrapnel.
Based on these things, they may be able to research it in ten or eight years.
But it was impossible for Liu Bian to give them so much time.
The news of Severus' death quickly reached the Roman Senate.
But after Severus' rectification, the Senate has long lost its former power, and the military and political power is in the hands of Severus' two sons.
It was Severus' younger son Geta who remained in Mesopotamia, and his elder son Caracalla in Rome.
The Mesopotamian army supported Geta as emperor, and the Senate chose to support Caracalla in order to regain power!
Ever since, there were two emperors in the Roman Empire!
Although Severu prefers his youngest son Geta, Caracalla's talent is far better than Geta's.
Caracalla perfectly inherited his father's style, acting decisively and cruelly.
Most importantly, he knew that the most important thing to rule the empire was the army.
Therefore, Caracalla, who had no army in hand, immediately raised troops in the country, and even changed the slavery system to allow slaves to join the army.
The Roman Empire had a system of universal military service,
Ordinary Roman citizens between the ages of 17 and 45 were obliged to perform military service.Men between the ages of 45 and 60 also serve as reserve guards to guard the rear.
Only infantrymen who have participated in 20 expeditionary armies or cavalrymen who have participated in 10 expeditionary armies are exempt from military service.
Yet this was the right of Roman citizens.
It is impossible for slaves to enjoy this honor.
However, all the troops in the country were taken by Severus to attack Anxie. There was only one legion and one wing in Rome, which added up to less than 1 people.
The use of slaves is also a helpless move of Caracalla.
He established a system of rewards and punishments for slaves, and as long as their credit reached a certain level, they could obtain free status.
This system has attracted many slaves to work for it.
As for the opposition of the Senate, it was suppressed by Caracalla with a strong wrist.
Moreover, Caracalla also increased the salary of the army and won the support and support of the new army.
As for the Anxi Empire and the Guishuang Empire, there are also successors who have made corresponding reforms to stabilize the situation.
Since the Guishuang people did not have their own territory, his successor was a general, but he could not convince the crowd.So their 35 army fell apart. 10 people broke away from the new emperor's rule and went north to join the Huns, and more than 3 people were going back to their hometown.
Although these 3 people have no intention of defecting to the big Han, but if you go to the territory of the Han people, you are surrendering to the enemy!
So the Anxi people and the Guishuang people joined forces in an attempt to kill all the 3 people in Mulu, the eastern province of Anxi.
However, just as they were attacking, Ran Min and Guan Yu suddenly led the Han army to kill them.
The 3 people who defected were like the bait of the Han army, luring the [-] Guishuang and Anxi allied forces into the encirclement of the Han army.
The reason why the Han army judged so accurately was because their emperor could foresee the future.
Long before delivering the bomb, Liu Bian conducted more than a dozen simulations, rehearsing all possible events.
Therefore, the army led by Ran Min and Guan Yu not only wiped out [-] enemy troops, but also rescued [-] Guishuang rebels.
These 3 people never imagined that their own people were so old and stabbed in the back.
Instead, it was the Han people they hated who saved their lives.
Therefore, they were sincerely convinced by the big man, not only joined the ranks of the Han army, but also played a positive role in promoting the big man's rule of their tribe.
Liu Bian immediately ordered to march into Sulun and Mulu, and at the same time sent Liu Rengui to lead the Han navy to cross the Strait of Hormuz and march into the Persian Gulf.
When Liu Rengui wiped out the Siren Pirates before, he pardoned some people.
Some of them took refuge in Liu Rengui and became good guides at the moment.
The goal of this sea march is Persepolis, the capital city of Persis, a vassal state in the south of Anxi!
As the three-way army of the Han Dynasty marched westward, the Anxi people also entered the countdown to their demise.
the other side,
The split of the Romans in two created an opportunity for slave revolts.
