Make Eastern Rome Great Again, 1416

It was okay to say that before the civil war between the two Johns, the empire was already dead after the two Johns Shukerbeta performed the talent show, and what was behind was just a rotting corpse. Even if Manuel II attacked after the prison lightning and won all the battles, it was still hanging, let alone after 1400. Even if Varna wins, how will the unity of the universal church be solved? The last chance to save the empire without cheating and writing a purely historical article is actually Miba. Saving the empire during the two Johns period was all cheating (hidden route: Maimaiti II's mother is Greek, so in a parallel world, Maimaiti II's brain was upgraded (and his body was taken away by time travel) and he felt that he was a Roman)

Rome, hey hey hey hey hey, as long as there is a book written about Rome, I will come to help support the scene.

Well written, I feel like this book is like a god. Finally found a work similar to Lucky Sulla. 😁

Why are there so many eunuchs in the book of Romans..., The Jingluo Party has broken its defenses

Recover Magna Graecia, Recover the Balkans, Recover Anatolia, Recover Syria, Recover Jordan, Recover Jerusalem, Recover Egypt, Restore the five major dioceses, close the Catholic commissary, and bridge the East-West divide🥰

In fact, I want to read every book about Eastern Rome, mainly because of the author's deduction ability. After all, reality is not a game. It cannot be digested by laying down territory. It is not possible to send a priest to appease the land for a period of time and then the land will be used by you. What's more, allies will definitely come to help you instead of "sit quietly". This is different from AI allies. In addition, the enemy will not abide by the armistice agreement and cannot give you time to digest the territory. I can't think of a reasonable way to break the situation. Breaking the situation in the game still relies on the game mechanism.

First, imperial officials are divided into three categories, namely the royal family (big nobles), senior central officials, and local officials. Let's first introduce the high-level titles surrounding the royal family, which are the so-called purple nobles: Basilius (βασίλεύ ς) means "king" in the classical period. The Eastern Roman Empire used this title as the supreme ruler, generally translated as "emperor", but also means "general commander", who can mobilize the national army, that is, the person with the highest military power. Sebastokrator, Supreme/Chief Noble, the most senior title under the emperor, invented by Alexios I, used for the immediate branch of the royal family, the de facto co-ruling emperor and successor, in fact, the protagonist should be this official name, Caesar was not used in the late empire To represent the co-ruling emperor, in China it can be almost equal to the power of the prince plus the superintendent of the country. It is not necessarily permanent, and it does not have to be the emperor's son, but it may also be his brother. After all, Eastern Rome is a monogamous system. If there is no son, the brother will inherit. Panhypersebastos, the most noble, is an honorary title given to the nearby royal family. It has no fixed power, but is quite noble in the court. It can be regarded as the one-word prince level in China. The power depends on the emperor's favor, and is usually in a competitive relationship with the former. Caesar, Caesar, a close royal title, is slightly worse than the former. Generally speaking, it will supervise the military affairs of a certain aspect and region. It was the second-highest title before the 12th century, but became the third-level title after the Komnenos Dynasty. It can be regarded as a prince of a small country in ancient China. Usually not capable of inheriting the throne. Porohyrogennetos, born in the Purple House, this rank is basically available to anyone who is a direct relative of the royal family. They are potential successors to the emperor (with the right to inherit) but generally have no chance. They usually have little power, but they can lead the army. Despotes, autocratic monarch/despot prince, is the lowest title among the immediate branches of the royal family. It usually has the power of the autocratic party to manage military affairs, but has almost no qualifications to inherit the throne. It is similar to a Chinese prince, but with a fiefdom. Some foreigners who submit to them will also be granted this title. Nobelissimos, noble, is at the same level as the absolute monarch, but it is an honorary title. It is the highest military title. Most non-royal military titles reach the top here. Unless they become powerful ministers, they will become Despotes. It is a bit like the "Gong" in China. Generally speaking, it will be a military and political official of a party.

Alas, this is the standard ending of Eastern Roman literature

I first saw the introductory paragraph from a big guy named Xiao Yao on Zhihu. It's really amazing 😭

It seems that we need to first conquer the Greek base through the Achaean expedition, and then use the Crusaders to become the exclusive ophthalmologists for the Turks, and then recreate the Baliolo ZTE?😏

From left to right: John, Emperor Manuel II, Theodosius, Andronikos and Queen Helena:

Woohoo woohoo, update soon, if you haven't seen it bye bye, Watasi

It's rare to find another Roman novel. Hope the quality is as good as the one next door. Come on! Author

So cute~~

The author should not be a eunuch, you have lost so many votes from me.

Can you hang the Doge of Venice?😢

I have never seen a few stories about Rome that have been completed.

After reading it, it seems that the overall content is quite good, the plot is reasonable and there are no big flaws. The small problem is that I think it's a bit scary to make a flintlock thing. The protagonist in this era can slowly transform the army to look like the Spanish Grand Square era. He should be very strong.

The icon collected in St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, comes from Byzantium. It is made of gold, inlaid with semi-precious stones and enamel, and depicts the fully armed Archangel Michael

The empire is about to start a decisive battle with the Ottomans. When all the dust settles, the first volume will also come to an end. Starting from the second volume, the focus will be more on the characters and the plot within the empire, and the Victory Army directly under the protagonist is also facing changes. In this context, I would like to seek the opinions of all book friends on what is a better name for the new army of the empire. You can put forward your favorite title in the reply to this post: 1. Ever Victorious Army 2. Garrison Army 3. Guards 4. New Army 5. Guards 6. Purple Banner Army 7. Eagle Banner Army In addition to the above names, you can also imagine other titles that are in line with the naming style of the Eastern Roman Empire and the early Renaissance.

The update speed is also too slow.

"... The Byzantines founded their country on the coast of the Aegean Sea, with sparse arable land, poor soil, and low food production. However, they had many harbors and were located at the intersection of two trade routes from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean and from Europe to Asia. Commercial trade was developed and the country has been founded on commerce since ancient times. "But with the expansion of the Ottoman Empire in Asia Minor, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and Egypt, the loss of territory was accompanied by the loss of commerce and taxation. Before the Battle of Constantinople, the Byzantine territory consisted of the isolated city of Constantinople, several islands in the Aegean Sea, and half of the Peloponnese Peninsula. "In April 1453, when the Turkish Sultan Mehmet II came to the city, the Byzantines faced a full 200,000 troops, 300 warships and heavy artillery for siege. Such a powerful military strength of the Ottomans carefully prepared a Jedi offensive. Looking at Europe at that time, almost no country could take the lead alone, let alone the Byzantines who defended the city..."

These officials are lower than the officials of the central competent authority, but they are also necessary and will be supplemented here. Magas konostablos is the title of mercenary leader and leader of foreign/foreign mercenaries. It should be noted that the Varangian Guard does not belong to this system, but belongs to the resident guard system and is under the control of the resident guard chief. Pinkernes, the cupbearer, is generally given to the emperor's cronies. It can be used to express favor or to grant gifts to foreign vassals. Kouropalates, court counts, are mostly used to reward vassal states. Their function in the court is a bit like the servants of the Han Dynasty, used to pass messages up and down. Parakolmomenos, the chief chamberlain, is the highest position of eunuchs. In the late empire, it was later divided into three official positions, but they were all the highest eunuchs, namely: tes sphendones, seal official tou kolton, sleeping official Domestikos tes trapezes, diner hogenikos Chancellor of the Exchequer, favoring matters such as coinage Protovestiarites, weaving, in charge of the silk trade, and procurement of royal clothes. Vestiarites, close to China's Shaofu, are in charge of the emperor's food and clothing expenses Magas papias, palace envoys, are a bit like Chinese doctors, with a large number of people, most of whom are given to nobles, and it is also a kind of honorary title. The Eastern Roman Empire had a mature local bureaucracy. Although it was destroyed by the feudal fief system (Pronian system) in the late empire, it was still much more complete than the Western kingdoms. The second half is about introducing the bureaucrats of the central authorities. If you want to see the royal family, you can read the previous posts Megas domestikos, the generalissimo, is actually the commander-in-chief of the army. There are two positions. They are equal in status. Sometimes they also have the title of Nobelissimos, which cannot be hereditary. It should be noted that sometimes Panhypersebastos will also hold this position, especially when leading. Pantovestiarios, the great treasurer, is in charge of government affairs and financial expenditures. He is a bit like the Zhongshu Ling in China and is the de facto prime minister. Megas doux is the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy (literally translated as Grand Duke) and the person in charge of the national fleet. His status is inferior to the above two. Protostrator, the minister of the bodyguard, is usually the deputy of the generalissimo. He will supervise the management and deployment of military affairs by the generalissimo. He is also responsible for the garrison and guards of the palace. He is usually a minister close to the emperor. Magas logothetes, deputy minister of state, foreign minister, sometimes responsible for part of the finance, usually supervision. Megas stratopedarches, regional commanders (in charge of the army), a bit like the Chinese Minister of War, sometimes led by eunuchs Megas primikerios Su Wei Chief, in charge of the emperor's imperial army. This title is sometimes used as a generic term for senior officials, the highest ranking officials above this level.

How long will it take for the author to resume updating this time?

After such a long time, do you have time to make a picture? Almost forgotten 🙂

This book is really good. It is the best novel about the revitalization of Eastern Rome that I have ever read. There is no special golden finger. The timeline is advanced reasonably. I seize the opportunity step by step and gradually revive it. It would be perfect if the map could be updated more.

Why did you get to the final volume? Can it still be restored to the 1025 layout?😭

As a farming nation, doesn't anyone on the Internet know that cultivated land does not need to be left fallow? The land in ancient China became more fertile the more it was cultivated. Does any reader know? In the decades after World War II, Europeans learned how to farm from China.

The start of the Danube Front in 999 when Rome was founded, reveals the origins of the crisis in the third century from various perspectives, builds the future Queen of the Cities, who among the gods or Christ can save the souls of the Romans in the crisis, determines the political pattern of the empire for the next thousand years, and shapes a new common identity (there are too few foreign historical resources, so I will take a place to advertise, sincerely thank you, and wish the author an early ascension to the king of heaven 🌹🌹🌹)
