Chapter 531 Discussion

"What are you writing?" Lajosh asked next to him.

"I wonder, if Basil can get married, can the great times continue?"

"I don't know, but I admire Basil's way of treating prisoners. When I become king, I will give it a try."

Lajos came into contact with many books on conquests during the Roman Empire, especially the conquests of the Germans. He was very sorry. Why did you fail? If you succeed, these things won't happen.

Davis did not pay attention to the whispers of the two people below, and continued: "What am I talking about to explain? If you read the history of these countries carefully, you will find that they all have a history from weak to strong, and from strong to strong. In the process of decline, a country is like a person. It goes through the whole period of childhood, adolescence, youth, adulthood, old age... and may die in the middle. "

"In its youth, because it was weak, it had to endure bullying, was forced to sign various unequal agreements, and tried hard to make friends with the strong men around it; when it reached its youth, it had a strong body and a strong It wants to compete with strong opponents; in middle age, its strength and energy decline, its character becomes stable, and it will work hard to maintain the various honors it has won; and in old age, its old body Not only can the wealth you own be easily snatched away by others, but it can even be difficult to save your life..."

Such words made the two of them think deeply. The dynasty will eventually perish. If it is not passed down, the country must always be in a state of vitality, otherwise it will one day enter its twilight years.

"Teacher, what period is the empire in now?" a student asked.

Davis thought for a while and said: "It has only been more than ten years since the empire was established. If we count from the establishment of Wallachia, it has only been a hundred years. If we look at it in terms of time, Romania has only had a history of more than ten years. The Empire is indeed like a teenager.”

"We need to know that the Roman Empire and the Romanian Empire should be viewed separately. Although their names are similar, all systems are different. According to the Romans a thousand years ago, Wallachia was just a barbarian."

This was the first time they heard the term barbarians. The former barbarians entered Constantinople and became the masters here. In the following time, they conquered the north and south, and their territory was larger than that of the Macedonian Dynasty. I dare to ask how many people can achieve such an achievement.

"The empire is still expanding outwards, and our territory is still expanding. We just defeated Germany not long ago and obtained land and an ally. Although the citizens are also afraid of death, they are more eager to win honors in war, and their Relatives will try their best to support them instead of hindering them. Our great emperor will never succumb to external pressure, but respond to the enemy's provocations with more active actions... The entire empire is full of vitality and vitality. Vigorous vitality and hope are like the sun rising in the sky in the morning... I believe you also feel this way, isn't this youth time? "

The students nodded excitedly in agreement.

"Teacher, what about Iberia?" someone asked impatiently.

"Iberia is a bit complicated. After the fall of the Gothic Kingdom, they survived from the mountains in the north and struggled to regain their lost lands in the following hundreds of years. Their courage is admirable, but their disregard for industry and commerce , the oppression of farmers is unprecedented. Everyone must give way to the nobles, and even grazing has privileges. This is a world of nobles, a world where nobles are domineering. "

"Teacher, what do you think of Arabs?"

Alexander raised his hand and asked. Davis saw His Highness asking the question and began to answer it in detail.

"The Arabs created a glorious history. Their Palace of Wisdom gathered the wisdom of the whole country, and their economy and culture developed to unprecedented peaks. From Iberia to Baghdad, they controlled a large amount of land, and all this came from Mongolia Then everything stopped as if it had never happened.”

"Then teacher, what is the empire's attitude towards the Arabs?"

"The empire has always been relatively tolerant of the Arabs, but it is impossible for them to be on an equal footing with the citizens of the empire. Their religious languages ​​are different from those of the empire, and the hundreds of years of war between the two groups have made the hatred between the two sides worse. It goes deeper and deeper, and only when one side completely overwhelms the other can it be considered over.”

Alexander began to take notes again. These thoughts would accompany him in the future and eventually became his guiding thoughts.

Soon the teacher announced that get out of class was over, and Alexander and Lajosh were going to the library. Everyone saluted the two of them. One was the heir to the Roman Empire and the other was the heir to the Kingdom of Hungary. They had the highest status.

The library of Constantinople had been restored, and Mircea had provided it with sufficient funds and a large collection of books. Moreover, the encyclopedia compiled by Peter with huge sums of money was an unprecedented project, and many people joined in. In addition, Peter also ordered the compilation of the history of the Roman Empire. From the beginning of the Roman monarchy to the Palaeolian dynasty, more than 2,000 years of history were gathered in one book. This project was not small.

Alexander was very interested in their marginal books, and when he came to the scene, the official in charge of the general project of compilation of the book saluted the two Highnesses. and first let them see the completed part of the compilation of Roman history.

The history of the Palaiologos and Komnenos dynasties is the easiest to complete. Alexander has some understanding of Alexios's request for reinforcements from the West. There are nomads in the east and rebellions in the west. Only by asking for reinforcements can the empire be saved. Moreover, the emperor's diplomatic attributes are really strong, while his son has strong military attributes, and as for his grandson... he has strong spending attributes.

"Venice's current fate is its own fault. It was too kind to keep them before."

"Venice is now back to where it should be. There are no factors. This is what he deserves."

The two discussed historical events one after another. In their opinion, the things in history books are the most worth savoring, so as to ensure that they will not repeat the same mistakes.

They will scold Bosimonde and regret Manuel's results in Myriokephalon. Rome's geographical location determines that he can only continue to fight, otherwise he will perish. 1204 and 1398 are two key years. Fortunately, Rome will not repeat the same mistakes and will continue to advance until it reaches a safe border.
