The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Castel Sant'Angelo, located on the Tiber River in Rome, is the westernmost part of the ancient Roman region and is also known as Hadrian's Mausoleum. It is round on the top and square on the bottom, and the outer wall is in the shape of a five-pointed star, with a majestic and solid shape.

In the late period of the Black Death in the 6th century, Pope Gregory I dreamed that an angel holding a sword descended on this building, and the Black Death epidemic soon ended. To thank the angel, the Pope ordered a bronze statue of an archangel to be added to the building and renamed it "Castle Sant'Angelo".

The bridge under the Castel Sant'Angelo is also named Ponte Sant'Angelo. There are twelve angel statues on the bridge, each holding an instrument of torture or related items used when Jesus was tortured. 12 symbolizes the twelve disciples of Jesus.

Zhao Yuanlang sat in the ruling hall that originally belonged to the Pope. Zhao Yuanlang sat on a high throne and began to meet with the military generals handed over to him by Constantine V.

The result was obvious. Any general from any military district who entered had his eyes flash with confusion and was successfully transformed into a follower of Zhao Yuanlang.

Recruiting refugees, conducting a census, and building fortresses, Zhao Yuanlang began to rule the entire Italy in an orderly manner.

Zhao Yuanlang first used the system to select the Chief Justice of the Royal Palace, who was responsible for hearing judicial cases appealed to Zhao Yuanlang from all over the country. Then came the two finance ministers and the Royal Palace administrator.

In order to enable the kingdom to develop better, Zhao Yuanlang took back the title of military district general, abolished the military district system, appointed corps commanders as before, took back the ruling and judicial powers, and only retained military power.

Cities had mayors and were divided into major cities. Towns had mayors and villages had village elders. Each city strictly established the Roman Kingdom's financial, legal, commercial, guild management, and supervisory departments, organized city guards and prisons, and completely separated the military and politics.

After Zhao Yuanlang finished dealing with these matters, he began to select the chief deacons, and then began to appoint the Minister of Posts, the Minister of Confidential Affairs, the Minister of Protocol, the Kingdom's Foreign Affairs Secretary, etc. He set up a large number of subordinate officials behind them and began to select regional officials from all over the kingdom.

Renegotiate the kingdom's taxes with the Minister of Finance, improve the laws with the Chief Justice, set up separate financial departments in each city under the unified leadership of the kingdom's finance department, and re-set the salary levels for kingdom officials and military personnel in accordance with the current economic conditions.

As one task after another was completed, a year passed quickly, the kingdom was becoming more peaceful, and it was time to start the transformation of the city of Rome. This would require a huge amount of money, but Zhao Yuanlang had plenty of money anyway.

Under Zhao Yuanlang's conscription law, countless refugees were attracted here, and they were provided with food, wages, and accommodation. It was simply a holy land.

Of course, the original Roman people would not give up this opportunity, and they also joined the construction team.

Zhao Yuanlang first built a large number of neat and beautiful houses, then demolished a large area of ​​houses around the Pantheon, and built a series of departments next to the Pantheon, including the Kingdom Administrative Court, the Kingdom Grand Court, the Kingdom Military Department, the Kingdom Taxation Department, etc. He turned the Pantheon and a large open space in front of these buildings into the Roman Forum.

Zhao Yuanlang began to build urban facilities, including public baths, toilets, squares, and the destroyed Roman Colosseum and aqueduct.

Then, a huge institution of higher learning in the kingdom was built opposite the Colosseum, and high schools and primary schools were set up in various regions, requiring children aged 5 to 18 to receive military and cultural education.

A year passed and these were just completed. Strike while the iron was hot, Zhao Yuanlang began to repair the roads in Rome. With the Pantheon as the center, he began to build an extra-wide city road in the shape of a fortified city.

After a year of overhaul, all the roads were finally completed.

The defense of Rome was really poor at this moment. The early Aurelian Walls had become somewhat dilapidated because the Roman Pope had not protected them well for hundreds of years. The entire city of Rome, together with the refugees recruited by Zhao Yuanlang, had a population of only about 100,000, which was far less glorious than the former capital of the empire.

However, the city wall had to be repaired, so Zhao Yuanlang began to make modifications to the wall. He not only raised the height of the wall, but also built more arrow towers and battlements, and used the water from the Tiber River to build a moat. This project was complex and long, and it would take at least three or four years to complete.

Zhao Yuanlang, who had originally focused on building the kingdom, suddenly received news from spies that Kaotian had temporarily settled the Saxony region, and his gaze began to look towards the south.

The army was gathering. Zhao Yuanlang sneered with disdain. "Kaotian, wait and see how I beat you. I'll let you know that the Son of the Plane has no resistance in front of God. I don't believe you can send meteorites from the sky like the great magician Liu Xiu, the Son of the Plane."

At this time, Charles had conquered a large area of ​​Saxony and had a strong army. He decided to lead his army across the Alps and attack Rome in the name of rescuing Adrian I.

According to the report from Kaotian's spy, he learned that the Italian region was undercurrent at the moment, because the new policy caused dissatisfaction in various places, which was a great opportunity for him to take action. Little did he know that the information he got was given by Zhao Yuanlang. After all, Zhao Yuanlang used his magic energy to build multiple diffusion points and began to erode the Italian region.

The ambitious Caotian decided to adopt the tactics of dividing his troops for surprise attack, siege and forced landing, and liberated the cities in northern Italy with the help of the dissatisfied Lombards in various places. He led a large-scale navy to capture Rome and captured the so-called Caesar of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Roman King Apollo Julius Caesar Romanus alive.

Unfortunately, Kaotian was disappointed. His 30,000-strong army had just come out of the snow-capped mountain area and was camped on the plains below the mountain at dawn when they were attacked by Roman soldiers. Fifty thousand soldiers, so mighty and powerful, were terrifying in the Middle Ages.

The army was completely defeated, with 1 soldiers suffering heavy casualties. of them fled into the Alps. Due to various weather conditions, only more than people survived and crossed the Alps and fled back to Frank.

On the sea, Kaotian didn't know that his army had been defeated. At this moment, he fantasized about conquering Italy. The navies of the Roman Kingdom collapsed at the first touch, and his navy was invincible.

As Kaotian's fleet gradually came into sight of the coastline of Rome, Kaotian waved his hand and the fleet began to look for a place to land.

But Kaotian never expected that dense Roman troops would appear where they were preparing to land.

No! They should be blocking his army in the north at this moment. What made him even more desperate was that countless fleets appeared around him. These fleets were equipped with the weapon that the Eastern Roman Empire used to dominate the Mediterranean region, Greek fire.

Kaotian was in a bit of a mess, because they were not in a position to go ashore or fight a naval battle. Their own fleet had been set on fire by the Greek fire, and countless ships were burning, causing heavy casualties.

Zhao Yuanlang stood on a high cliff on the shore, looking at the burning ship with a ferocious smile.

Perhaps it was the inherent skill of the Son of the Plane, Kaotian discovered Zhao Yuanlang and ordered his men to shoot at Zhao Yuanlang's position with a scorpion crossbow.

Countless crossbow arrows shot over. In front of Kaotian's shocked eyes, Zhao Yuanlang waved his robe and blocked all the crossbow arrows. How was this possible!

Only then did Kaotian realize that something was wrong. How could a normal person do this? He began to order the fleet to retreat.

But they had already been surrounded and had no way of getting out, with Greek fire spraying everywhere.
