Chapter 501 Ying Yu's Plan
Ying Yu confessed to Ying Zheng the plan he had set up.
Ying Yu decided to support Scipio for two reasons.
First, it is natural that Scipio is Sophie's father, and Sophie married into Daqin, which means that Scipio is Daqin's father-in-law. In one fell swoop, he has changed from a foreigner to a relative of Daqin. From a certain level , the relationship is naturally much closer than other nobles in Rome.
Second, although Scipio is now in prison, Hannibal's Carthaginian army is watching him outside, and there are conflicts between the armed forces of the separatist nobles from all over the country.
But in terms of identity, he is still the highest consul in Rome, and the soldiers under him are also regular soldiers, and he is still widely recognized in the hearts of the people.
And now Rome is in turmoil everywhere, and wars are happening almost every moment.
Under such an environment, all the people in all regions of Rome were aggressive. From a 70-year-old man to a six-year-old child, everyone knew how to kill.
They are brave and extraordinary, fearless of death, they are simply born war machines.
At this time, Scipio's own appeal and prestige in Rome were revealed. As long as they are given some help, Scipio will soon be able to recruit troops locally and expand an army that can crush other separatist forces in Rome. .
With this army, it is believed that it is only a matter of time before Scipio defeats the Carthaginians and even unifies the whole of Rome.
Thirdly, Scipio's own ability is strong enough, he is a good talent, and he is smart enough.
He was able to lead the Roman orthodoxy to survive the internal and external troubles, and in the case of the split of the Roman heroes, the Roman orthodoxy could always have a place.
Even occupying a certain dominant position among the powers, this is already quite remarkable, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
If it wasn't for being born in the wrong place, trapped in a country like Rome, which has already sunk into the sky, no matter how wise it is, it is hard to save, and has the invincible Daqin as an opponent, Scipio will definitely be able to leave his name in history. generation Mingjun.
Because of this, working with a talent like Scipio, he knows how to maximize the benefits of the resources Daqin gave him.
And finally turn it into a greater benefit to give back to Daqin, otherwise, if it is a fool who supports him, then even if Daqin gives him more resources, no matter how much Daqin supports him, it will not be successful after all.
And the advantage of working with this kind of people is that their minds are very clear, they know what they should do and what they should not do.
After Scipio unified Rome, he would have ambitions, and would want to conquer more countries, even Great Qin!
This is normal, but anyone with great ambitions would think so, let alone someone like Scipio who possesses knowledge and strategy.
But what is different from ordinary people is that ordinary people may think of anything and do it directly.
But a smart person like Scipio doesn't know it. He is very clear about how he got everything, especially after realizing the suffocating strength of Daqin, which is an insurmountable mountain, he also knows better What are the consequences of rebelling against Daqin?
There is another characteristic of a smart person like this, that is, he is very life-saving.
He would never be so stupid as to sacrifice his own life, choose to strike a rock with a pebble, and gamble for an absolutely impossible future. Ying Yu likes to cooperate with such smart people.
When Daqin brought Rome into its territory in the future, Scipio could also be used by Daqin. I believe that by that time, he would be able to make great contributions to stabilizing the situation and allowing Rome to fully integrate into Daqin.
"Your plan is indeed thorough. Given the complicated situation in Rome, it would not be good for our Great Qin to forcefully intervene from the outside.
Support Scipio and let them solve internal problems internally. On the one hand, they can make them fight each other and weaken Rome's overall strength.
On the other hand, it can also radiate the influence of Daqin through Scipio, and strengthen Daqin's control over Rome in the future. "
"However, I still have to say that there should be a limit to the help I, Daqin, can provide to them. For example, items such as steam engines and ships cannot be provided to them.
If these core technologies are leaked and learned by those Romans, then I am afraid that they will be used as someone else's wedding dress. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, agreeing to Ying Yu's proposal, but finally reminded him.
"Regarding this point, the emperor can rest assured that in recent years, Rome has been constantly fighting, and young and strong farmers have been arrested as young men. This has caused large areas of land to be degraded into wasteland, and The plague of locusts infested Rome, and Rome's food reserves were extremely short."
"Therefore, in my son's vision, Daqin only needs to invest in a certain amount of food, money, or weapons to support Scipio, and there is no need to fund steam engines and other advanced technological products at all."
"Taking a step back, even if the situation in Rome changes and we have to invest in high-tech products to Scipio, complex and delicate mechanical products like steam engines cannot be made just by thinking about them. Even if they know the core technology in Rome, if they don't have enough advanced steel manufacturing technology, it is basically impossible to manufacture it."
"And this kind of machine has almost no redundant parts. Every part is a whole, which can be said to affect the whole body. In many cases, there may be a problem with a small screw assembled inside, and the machine may be broken. won't work anymore."
"With the current situation of Rome being divided and fragmented, the level of science and technology is probably not as good as before, let alone compared with the current Daqin. It is almost impossible for them to process such fine parts.
Therefore, nature can only be expected but out of reach for utensils such as steam engines. "
Ying Yu has never been the one who will suffer, so naturally he has already thought about Scipio.
"Since you say that, I'm relieved."
"Speaking of which, you saw this Scipio's daughter just now, what do you think?"
Ying Zheng smiled.
In an instant, Ying Zheng's image changed from the mighty Great Qin Shihuang to a gossip-loving old father. This huge contrast made Ying Yu dumbfounded.
"Father, this princess Sophie is bright and charming, she is considered a rare beauty, and she is extremely filial, she is a rare and virtuous woman."
Ying Yu knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to answer truthfully.
"It seems that you have a good impression of her. In fact, I have a good sense of the Roman princess. This little girl has a vitality that I don't have in the Daqin girl."
