Chapter 229 The City of Rome Wasn't Built in a Day
The speed of Byzantine relocation of the capital is still not slow.

The expansion of the city of Rome was carried out rapidly, and the original city was still usable.Therefore, Yang Zheng decided to expand while moving the capital.

Yang Zheng pacified the Apennine Peninsula so quickly. All Byzantine officials and people had no doubts about his decision to move the capital. Even Clark had to think that there was no problem with moving the capital. Rome, as the center of the Byzantine Empire, was obviously more powerful than Constantine. Dinburgh is suitable.

In this way, there will be no obstacles to the work of moving the capital.

And with the help of the navy, the relocation of the capital went smoothly.Large warships transported people, and civilian and merchant ships transported supplies.

There are also many people who want to relocate to the city of Rome. There are still many Byzantine officials, and many businesses will also be relocated. The entire relocation team is mighty, and the Mediterranean Sea is extremely spectacular.Of course, during the migration process, there were still many warships patrolling and guarding to avoid being attacked.

At the same time, the geographical location of Constantinople is also extremely important, and it cannot be idle here, so Yang Zheng still retains a considerable amount of software and hardware, so that the strength of Constantinople will not be greatly reduced.This is the hub connecting Eurasia. As long as Constantinople operates normally, Byzantium's interests in the East can also be guaranteed.

It took nearly a month for the capital move to be completed. After the capital move, the population of the city of Rome skyrocketed to 100 million, making it a qualified capital city.Obviously, with the advancement of urban construction, the population will gradually increase, and it is only a matter of time before Rome becomes the largest city in Europe.

And a large number of Tang troops have been deployed in the Apennines Peninsula. Although they are now at peace with the Frankish Empire, no one can guarantee that anyone who is jealous will suddenly launch an attack on the Apennines, and those European barbarians have to guard against them. These guys are not afraid. Death, as long as you see something, you may rob.For example, the kingdom established by the Germans was not far from Apennines. Yang Zheng didn't mind using Tang Jun to deal with these people. If he refused to obey, he would definitely be beaten. If he followed Yang Zheng, he would definitely have good results.

In May, the Germans really couldn't bear their jealousy. They crossed the Alps and decisively launched an attack on the north of the Apennines.This group of Germans crossed the Franks' defense zone, fully armed, with heavy cavalry in front and light cavalry supporting them, and launched attacks on Turin County, Milan County and many other places.

Upon hearing the news, Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Haha, these grandsons are in a hurry to reincarnate, so I will not be polite. Franks, this time it is definitely because you indulged the Germans. There are probably Goths among them." Right? Don’t worry, I’ll accept everything as ordered!”

For these Germans, Yang Zheng admired them very much, and was reluctant to kill them all. The Germans were ambitious, but they were also very intelligent. If they were tamed, they could bring a lot of labor to Datang and Byzantium.

Therefore, Yang Zheng immediately ordered Luo Tong, Qin Huaiyu, and Cheng Chumo to lure the enemy to go deep, using the terrain in the northern region and cooperating with space beasts to continuously capture those intimidated Germans.

When the Germans first saw that the Tang army was actually retreating, they threw away their helmets and armor, and all their supplies and supplies were intercepted by them, so they chased them vigorously.But once they got into Tang Jun's ambush circle, those huge monsters immediately made them dumbfounded, and they were all stunned, and then they were easily captured by Tang Jun.

The number of Germans continued to decrease. One month later, the 20 Germans lost three-quarters of their workforce. These captives were immediately taken by Yang Zheng to build the city of Rome. They were worried that there was not enough labor, but these Germans came to their door.

After that, Yang Zheng immediately ordered to pursue the remaining Germans.

The Tang army swarmed out, several times more than the Germans, and these Germans immediately ran away in fright.

Faced with the Germans who had fled into the Frankish territory, Yang Zheng decisively sent envoys to demand that the Franks hand over the perpetrators.The Franks were dumb and ate Coptis chinensis this time, and it was hard for them to tell.The Germans were obviously instigated by them, and the Franks also provided food, grass and weapons. Unexpectedly, 20 Germans were dismembered very quickly. The beasts of the Tang army are indeed invincible.But the Franks must be reluctant to let them hand over these Germans now.Therefore, the Franks rejected Yang Zheng's request.

Yang Zheng was furious and immediately ordered his army to cross the border and begin the prelude to attacking the Frank Empire!
With the help of ferocious beasts, the Tang army quickly broke through the Alpine defense line and quickly entered the Frankish territory.

This time the Franks did not expect that the Tang army would attack without saying hello, and they were going to deal with the Germans under the banner of revenge, so the Franks were even more miserable.

With an almost destructive attack, Tang Jun asked the Germans to lead the way, and he swept behind. Wherever he went, all the population and supplies were collected. The ones who followed leisurely behind were the ones who suffered the most, but it was the Franks who suffered.

In the Gallic palace, Papan said angrily: "Your Majesty, I don't know who has entered into the slander this time, causing the Tang army to destroy my people and the city of the Frankish Empire in this way. Please arrest this person immediately and hand it over to the Tang army so that they can be extinguished." Otherwise, the Frankish Empire will be in danger!"

Diego Belter said with some embarrassment: "Is the left minister's remarks alarmist? I just hope that the Germans can cause a little trouble for the Byzantines. It is estimated that after the Tang army captures these Germans, they will naturally retreat."

"Your Majesty, don't you see it now? Tang Jun is using this excuse to rampage in our Frankish territory. Yang Zheng has long seen His Majesty's intentions. This time it is definitely his revenge against the Frankish Empire. Your Majesty If the perpetrator is not handed over, Yang Zheng will never give up!"

While discussing, a Frankish knight ran in panting heavily: "Report!!! Your Majesty, the Tang army is only 200 miles away from the city of Gaul! Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly, otherwise something bad will happen!"

Diego Belter was taken aback and almost fell off the throne.

Papan hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you don't make a decision at this time, it will be too late to regret it!"

Diego Belter sighed: "At this point, I have no choice but to sacrifice the right minister. Someone, quickly take down Canton, then take it out of the city and hand it over to Tang Jun, and then hand over my letter of credence, asking Tang Jun Withdraw!"

"Ah? Your Majesty, how can you treat me like this? You are thinking of the Frankish Empire. With such a powerful Byzantine Empire at your side, the Frankish Empire will be attacked by them sooner or later. Your Majesty should quickly assemble the army and fight to the death with the Tang army. Otherwise, The Frankish Empire cannot be guaranteed!" Canton argued in panic.But Diego Belter obviously didn't want to listen to him fooling around. The Tang army was not far away from the city of Gaul. If he didn't do anything now, I'm afraid the Frankish Empire would really be over.If you hand over Kantong and make an apology, I am afraid that you will have to provide some money and food before Tang Jun will give up.

The palace guards rushed up, twisted Canton and tied him tightly.

Papan said again: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go to the Tang camp in person to persuade the generals of the Tang army to retreat!"

"Okay, okay! It's so embarrassing for the left to go, and the Tang army must be retreated." Diego Bert said happily, Papan is eloquent, and this time the Tang army should be able to withdraw.

"The old minister takes orders!" Papan has always hated Canton. Now if he can successfully persuade the Tang army to withdraw, he will definitely be an important minister in front of Diego Belter in the future.

Yang Zheng was not in the mood to pay attention to what the Frankish ruler and ministers were thinking, and now the expansion of the city of Rome was the top priority.As for the war, it has long been under control. This war has brought hundreds of thousands of labor to Byzantium, which can be regarded as the benefit of the expedition.Handing over the negotiation with the Franks to Constantine, Yang Zheng focused on the expansion of the city of Rome.

The expansion of the city of Rome continues along the Great Plains in the lower reaches of the Tiber River. The future of the city of Rome will be a political center, commercial center, entertainment center and other multi-faceted cities. More and more land will be developed, so agricultural production will be affected Great shock.However, the development of the Byzantine Empire will also become larger and larger. Even if the city of Rome cannot produce food, food from other regions will certainly be able to supply it.Therefore, Yang Zheng carried out the expansion of the city of Rome completely in accordance with the standards of urbanization. Wherever a city could be formed, houses were built.And the traffic in the whole city is planned very smoothly, the drainage system is also extremely developed, and the greening is also arranged intensively.

Only when the urban system is perfected can the entire city of Rome develop for a long time. What is left to future generations is also a perfect city. Yang Zheng, as a traveler, naturally understands this truth. It must be foolproof.Therefore, under Yang Zheng's strict control, the urban construction of the entire city of Rome proceeded in an orderly manner, and the key areas were handed over to the construction team under Zhang Shigui's command.

It’s just that such a huge city cannot be built in a day. It will take time for Rome, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, to become the center of the Western world.

 Finally back, thank you for your understanding!
