"How great would it be if I could not write!" - The sigh of grief by the ancient Roman emperor Nero when signing the death sentence on his signature

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It is not difficult to imagine that the cavalry commander's order immediately aroused a drastic effect in the city of Rome. Who can say that what Libidaus asked for is unreasonable? Even Curio himself could not say that Afilica was the last territory occupied by the Pompeii party members. Now the war is intensified, so the cavalry commander acted as a dictator and asked four or five legions that were resting in Italy to go to help. This approach can be said to be flawless.》.[]

But the consequences were as expected by Li Bida. If Pompei wanted to dig three feet into the ground in order to maintain several legions, then Caesar's current number of legions, and all auxiliary soldiers had to pay. However, the civil war has developed to this day. Agriculture and commerce have been severely damaged in the entire Republic and the surrounding world, agriculture and commerce, and even the livelihoods of the knights who followed Caesar were unsustainable. Moreover, the ordinary taxpayers, when both sides put the burden on their shoulders, the financial group could only increase its capital and move the crisis and burden down to the poor citizens who were in debt. Now, these five legions have received the order to dispatch urgently, but there is no food or fodder, and Caesar still owes them a lot of allowances and rewards. The originally sufficient supplies were intercepted by Curio himself and went to Africa. Can't we send ships back now?

As the Day of the God of Agriculture approaches, this was originally a day for people of all classes to revel together, but the atmosphere in Rome was far from so harmonious. There were more than one or two murders and murders caused by debt collection. In panic, many noble veterans holding "bonds" surrounded Julia's synagogue in the evening. They asked Caesar to pay off the debt as soon as possible, and even if they did not pay off all the principal and interest, they would have to pay the amount for one year first.

After panic, even if there was a large depression, Anthony, who was left behind in the hall, had no choice. He was not a person who was good at dealing with such chores. Now, looking at the words and books piled up on the pulpit, I wish I could burn them all clean with a torch, which was better than being exhausted from being stripped down inside. Anthony had never received any good reviews during his previous term in Rome, and his current reputation was even worse. Some people attacked him for asking for bribes.

Anthony was very angry. Although it was true, could he not put it on the table, because I always collected money and did things fairly; some people said that when he was in charge of politics in the synagogue, he also brought prostitutes and dwarfs. Anthony laughed at him, and these people who were catching up with the sensation and knew what kind of mood they were; some people also attacked him for being addicted to banquets and competitive activities, but Anthony disagreed. Although I am a non-civilian aristocratic, I longed to integrate into the common people. What is wrong with this?

But then, the mutiny of the four legions refusing to take the battle made Anthony completely panic.

Unexpectedly, he also faced such a difficult problem for the first time.

The eighth, nine, tenth and eleventh legions were all followed by Caesar's veteran legions in Gaul, Spain, and Greece for many years. The combat effectiveness was not limited to the disparity, but the number of deaths and deaths was very large. Now the remaining number of people in these four legions is only about 2,000 to 2,500 people per legion. Many people were afraid that if they continued to fight, they would eventually be buried in the desert of Afilica. This fear of war was the inspiration. In addition, veterans were veterans, but they had already been in the same spirit for many years of war, and their internal unity was extremely strong. They respected Caesar very much.

Loyalty, but they knew that Caesar would not be able to play with him, so this time they rebelled again - especially the Tenth Legion released by Li Bida from Egypt, which brought bad news that "the dictator could no longer distribute military pay", which made the group of veterans who were resting and resting in a mess. Originally, it was a war of conquest in Gaul, and by flattening barbarian cities, plundering property and selling slaves, they could make this group of people rich; but now it is a civil war, Caesar prohibits veterans from plundering local Italian cities, and even those from Greece and Spain are not allowed to touch them. The veterans have long been on the verge of going wild.

This time, the Tenth Legion played its first good deeds. One-eyed centurion Scarva took the lead in inciting all soldiers, and on behalf of the soldiers and officers reached an agreement, that is, before Caesar fulfilled the reward allowance, no one was allowed to leave the veteran resettlement area, refused to transfer orders, and put forward several conditions for agent Anthony:

Veterans who serve over the age are all allowed to be discharged from the army and do not have to go to Afiriga to participate in the war;

Soldiers who died in battle and were injured should immediately fully cash out their pensions and provide appropriate work and preferential treatment to their families and descendants;

Increase the land and amount allocated by participating soldiers when they are discharged from the army in the future.

"In this case, I'd better dismiss all four legions!" Anthony, furious, said the same words as Li Bida, "I and Gaius took the fifth 'Skylark' legion to Africa." After that, he was so angry that he shook to the porch outside the synagogue. The street was bleak and there was no festive atmosphere. The Colosseum and the Grand Race were dusty. They had not held a competitive competition that could bring joy to the people for a long time, because all the money was invested in the bottomless pit of the war, and there was no sign of ending now.

"What should I do now?" Gaius asked uneasily behind his elder brother.

"I don't have that much cash to pay for the plans proposed by those veterans; but now I have to take the legion to the battlefield, which is equivalent to violating the dictator's order." Anthony was also at a loss, and then he simply adopted the "ostrich policy" and decided to wait for a few days to observe the progress of the situation.

But the progress of the situation was simply unsurprising. Seeing that his request was not responded, the veterans of the 10th Legion simply set out from Campenia, rushed to the battlefield of the God of War in the northeast corner of the city of Rome, and set up colorful tents, claiming that they "will spend the unforgettable Goddess Festival with the Roman nobles and civilians."

The other legions have begun to plunder the merchants and villages in Campenia and Naples.

"It's so bold and arrogant, called the 'Skylark' legion to come in and drive away these veterans!" Anthony was very angry, and then the newly recruited Skylark legion from Gaul outside the mountain, whose nickname was the towering feathers inserted in the corner of the helmet, almost all of them were Gauls or Celtics, and they rushed into the Mars Colonel Field, and even a large number of cavalry came - the nobles who came to Rome to watch the lively were seen on their own terrace. On the Mars Colonel Field, Anthony personally directed the cavalry and trampled on the veteran's tent. The veterans sometimes resisted with weapons, and sometimes asked the women and children to block the horse's hooves and howled.

That scene was simply "spectacular"!
