Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 299 The Conqueror of Jerusalem

In fact, he knows what there is in the Holy of Holies, there are no statues of God at all.

"Okay, if you don't go in, you don't go in."

"Thank you, General Levy."

John said sincerely.

"But in exchange, the whole of Palestine will become a Roman province."

Levi said.

Hearing this, John was struck by lightning.

"Didn't you say you were going to choose someone to be... King of the Jews?"

he said with difficulty.

"I could have made your people kings of the Jews, but you have inflicted great casualties on the Roman army. In retaliation, I will completely destroy Jerusalem, including the Temple."

Levi said.

"Please don't do this!"

John said quickly.

There was enough suffering in Jerusalem, and he didn't want to see the Temple destroyed again.

"Then tell me your choice, whether you will destroy Jerusalem including the Temple and make your people kings of the Jews. Or will you make Palestine a province of Rome so that I can forgive your crimes, my man It’s actually pretty easy to talk about.”

Levi said.

John smiled wryly, do they still have a choice?

"If you can't make a decision? I can give you three days."

Levi said.

"No, we have chosen to be a province of Rome."

John said.

"Wise choice."

Li Wei said with a smile.

Jerusalem was finally captured, and Aristoblus was captured.

Li Wei appointed Belieus as the governor of Palestine, and then began to distribute the wealth.

The whole Roman army cheered because they were getting too much money.

This is probably the most money allocated to Rome in history. Each soldier was allocated 2,300 dramaks. The East is indeed rich.

After leaving the garrison army, Li Wei ordered the army to disband on the spot, and he led the guards to set off for Rome.

He has been away from Rome for more than two years, and at this time he is eager to return.

The port of Brindisi has been busier than ever since Sulla declared Lindisi duty-free.

Coupled with the elimination of pirates, a large number of merchants brought goods from the entire Mediterranean, and then shipped these goods to the whole of Rome, and Brindisi experienced unprecedented prosperity.

At this time, dozens of giant ships appeared in the distance. Although the merchants on the pier were surprised by the appearance of so many giant ships, they were not worried.

Pirates have basically disappeared, Li Wei has won many battles in the east, and the Mediterranean Sea has basically become the inland sea of ​​the Romans. Some people even call the Mediterranean Sea our sea. They can’t think of anyone who would dare to attack Brindisi. .

Some dock officials even looked at those giant ships arrogantly. If those giant ships belonged to foreigners, they would definitely warn them that they had to obey the rules when they arrived in Rome, and don’t think that this was their countryside.

To their surprise, after those giant ships docked,

A large number of Roman soldiers dismounted from the giant ship.

"Who are you?"

A dock official asked the soldiers.

"We are the personal guard of General Levi. General Livi defeated the Arabs and then conquered Jerusalem. He ordered the army to disband on the spot and has returned now."

said a soldier.

"It turned out to be General Li Wei?"

The dock official exclaimed, and his exclamation attracted a lot of attention.

Although Li Wei won many battles in the East, some people in Rome never stopped slandering him.

For example, after victory, he would follow the example of Sulla, march into Rome after victory, and become Rome's dictator for life.

This kind of statement is very popular among the Romans, because Li Wei's record is too dazzling.

Never before had a Roman achieved such a glorious feat, and some even compared him to Alexander.

"Of course, General Li Wei has decided to designate Pallas as our province of Rome. From then on, Rome will add another province."

The soldier said proudly that he was extremely proud to be Li Wei's personal guard.

"We actually have another province in Rome!"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"..."

The Romans on those docks talked a lot, and even foreigners joined the discussion team.

Their eyes are full of awe, Rome is really getting stronger and stronger, even the mighty Pontus and the King of Kings are not their opponents.

They kept asking the soldiers about the Eastern Expedition, and the soldiers didn't hesitate to answer their questions.

He even brags about how many enemies he has killed and how much money he has earned.

"You said that each of you got 2,300 dramaks?"

Someone exclaimed.

"Of course, we have conquered so many countries, and it is only natural to distribute so much money."

Some soldiers said proudly.

This made those people very envious. This is definitely the time when Roman soldiers made the most money.

In the past, it would be nice to earn a few hundred dinars, which is simply unbelievable.

But it's understandable when you think about it. Li Wei completed the achievements of Lukulus and Pompey alone, and the money will naturally be more than theirs.

"And I heard that the general will pay 20,000 talents to the national treasury. This is just the gold, silver and precious ornaments, not the land wealth."

someone said.

Twenty thousand talents? How much is this?

Some people couldn't figure it out after a long time of calculation, but soon someone figured it out, 120 million dinars, which exceeded Rome's taxes for two years, and everyone was shocked by this.

At this moment, twelve guards with pistols came down from one of the giant ships, followed by Levi wearing a red cloak.

Looking at the familiar Rome, Li Wei was filled with emotion.

After more than two years of fighting, he is finally back.

"Long live Li Wei!"

At this time, someone on the pier shouted loudly.

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Long live Li Wei!"

"Long live Li Wei!"

"..."

There were more and more voices on the pier, and people rushed towards Levi cheering.

Li Wei was a little surprised, and then fell into the vast ocean of people, and then smiled on his face.

Rome, I'm back!

Li Wei disbanded the army and returned, and the news spread throughout Rome like a whirlwind.

This surprised many people. They thought that Li Wei would not intend to disband the army as before, and put forward some excessive conditions to Rome. After all, Li Wei had a criminal record.

And Li Wei officially announced the name change, the full name is Lucius. Posius. Livi. Jerusalemus. Armenianus. Bendunus.

This made many people feel envious and jealous. It is said that Crassus even broke his beloved glass when he knew about it.

On the way to Capua, the people and local officials lined up to welcome him, which made Li Wei's journey very difficult, but he still returned to Dragon City.

"Li Wei, I miss you so much."

Xibel was always so enthusiastic, she threw herself on Li Wei as soon as she came back, and never wanted to come down again.
