After leaving the city of Rome, Xu Ding and others walked eastward all the way, encountered several traffic checkpoints along the way, and pulled out all of them.
The city of Rome is in the middle of the Italian peninsula. Of course, it is not called the Italian peninsula, but the Apennines peninsula.
The entire peninsula area is directly under the Roman Empire.
The current Roman Empire implements a provincial system outside the peninsula, and each province has a provincial governor.
The governor is similar to the county guard and state shepherd of the Han Dynasty, and has a lot of power.
Some of these provinces belonged to the Emperor of the Empire, and some belonged to the Senate.
This is why the Senate has the capital to fight against the emperor.
Moreover, among these provinces, most of the provinces that are close to the peninsula are in the hands of the Senate, while those that are far away are in the hands of the emperor.
This is also a great constraint.
The Senate is mainly responsible for internal affairs, and the emperor is mainly responsible for external affairs. This is a tacit understanding that has lasted for hundreds of years.
After all, the Senate does not need to rely on military exploits to consolidate its achievements, while the new emperor needs to win foreign wars to enhance his prestige and achievements. This is an obvious difference, and it also caused this peculiar phenomenon.
There were about [-] people who followed Xu Ding out of the Roman Empire, and the rest either died in battle or sneaked away.
After obtaining simple supplements, Xu Ding led the people into the forest, and then made preliminary reforms to the large army.
Select the five most brave, full of fighting and commanding consciousness as the centurion.
Each has 100 people under his command.
The five centurions are the confidant Meng Yu, the Slavs Bibi, the Germanic Vilatori, the Celtic Mengdu, and Soros who was a former Mediterranean leader.
After electing a new centurion, Xu Ding began to instill in them the military system from the East. Xu Ding decided to abandon the military framework of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Romans. Military units are building a new military system.
The reason for this is mainly because the gladiator army came from all over Rome and the defeated or plundered populations of various tribes around Rome.
The team members are complicated, and there is no sergeant group that seems simple like the Roman system, but actually requires great tacit understanding and trust.
In the future that can be seen, the rebel army has grown stronger, and the source is still complicated. He has no time or possibility to split the army in detail.
"Qin! Where are we going next? I believe that the Roman army will catch up soon. We must find a place to avoid them." The Slavs asked worriedly.
The other four people also looked at Xu Ding, Xu Ding said: "What do you think?"
The Celtic Meng said: "Let's go north first, and then go west. This way, the Romans will be thrown off by surprise, and they will all go east to eat shit."
Soros said: "No, even if you can avoid the Roman army chasing eastward for a short time by going west, they will still be able to catch up when they react. Moreover, there are many checkpoints in the west, and there are a large number of Roman troops. If we want to encounter it, we will be surrounded by it at that time, and we will die.
I propose to go along the east and west coasts. I am familiar with this area. Then we can get a few boats and then go to sea, whether it is to Sicily, Sardinia or Africa. "
Mundo is a Celtic, and his hometown is in the Gaul region, in the northwest of the Roman Empire. If he goes west, he will naturally return to his hometown. It is only natural for him to have his own plans.
Soros understood it better. He was the leader of an island in the Mediterranean Sea, and he lived his life at sea. Where there is water is his paradise.
Going to sea was the most direct choice for him, so he naturally refused to go west to drill mountains and forests and live a life like a savage.
Xu Ding cast his eyes on the other three people, Meng Yu is his retainer so there is nothing to say.
Villatoli was a German, and his hometown was close to the east of the Gaul region. It was undoubtedly in his interest to go west.
The comparison is that the hometown of the Slavs is in the north of the Roman Empire, and it is more convenient to go north.
However, the three of them did not talk about the direction, but expressed their loyalty to Xu Ding: "Alexander Qin, you are our commander-in-chief, we will fight wherever you say, I believe that your vision is farther than ours, and only by following you can we go to victory .”
Two cunning and shrewd fellows.
This made Xu Ding couldn't help but look at the two of them more highly.
Who doesn't want to go home, who doesn't want to be free, but the two of them see it more clearly, this is not a question of where to go, but a question of standing in line.
Small personal interests and selfishness must be obeyed in the will of the Supreme Commander.
Xu Ding smiled, and lightly patted Meng Yu on the two wings beside him to compare with the goods: "Okay! Since everyone said to continue east, let's go east until we reach the east coast. Looking for an opportunity to cross north to the Macedonian province."
The province of Macedonia is located on the Balkan Peninsula.
It has been a place with a strong smell of gunpowder since ancient times.
The eastern part of the Macedonian province is still mostly the territory of the Senate. If you go there by yourself, the new emperor Severus will probably acquiesce.
After all, the new emperor still has a great enemy in the west, and the threat of British Governor Albinus needs to be suppressed more than his small slave rebel army.
"..." Mengdu and Soros looked confused.
It's okay to be so numb, but seeing that the other three people didn't disobey their orders, they shut up wisely.
In this rebel army, Alexander Qin has unparalleled prestige.
Xu Ding could replace them at any time if he was upset, and even dealt with them like a mole.
After all, they didn't make any achievements when they rushed out of Rome.
Being able to sit as a centurion is all due to Xu Ding's direct appointment, because Xu Ding believes that they have the ability to command troops and manage them.
But this kind of ability is not irreplaceable. In the war, personal growth will be very fast, and personal talent will be displayed more directly.
If he meets a good seedling, Xu Ding doesn't mind promoting them vigorously.
After resting, the army moved down along the west coast instead of heading straight eastward in the center of the peninsula.
So the Romans' pursuers quickly overtook them, but the Romans didn't know where Xingding and others went.
Because the number of insurgents was a little smaller, they deliberately avoided and came out at night, so it was difficult to find traces.
Down the west coast, there is an important harbor city called Naples.
From Soros's mouth, Xu must know that this is a big city, and it is also a very rich city.
It is the summer resort of the Roman emperor, with a suitable climate and beautiful scenery.
Not far to the southeast is an active volcano called Mount Vesuvius, an active volcano that erupted 100 years ago and destroyed the bustling ancient city of Pompeii.
So far, Naples has become the veritable largest city in the south of the peninsula.
Capturing here is of extraordinary significance, because there is also a Colosseum in the city, which also imprisoned many gladiator slaves.
This will not only replenish supplies for Xu Ding, replace equipment, expand influence, but also expand troops.
