77, Section 2 The Huns defeated West Asia and Rome
In the second quarter, the Huns completely defeated Rome in Western Asia.
The general has a reputation for righteousness and bravery, and the bees and ants taste the brigade. He bends down to build the red oil, and waves his white feathers. He does not hesitate to support the drums, how can he leave his father behind?
Attached. The trees in the family are oily, and the streets are full of dew. The Marquis of Pingchang, Ping'en, talks about disobedience. Ten thousand households with ten thousand gold, recruit generals and kill the captives. Row the houses with famous names, and even carry the clean wine in the cars. Use money to get the water balance, and predict the house.
The arsenal. The potential of the mountains can be moved, and the thunder and lightning are powerful.
The Visigoths were forced to flee to Rome by the Northern Huns, but the funny thing is that when the Visigoths and Romans clashed, the Northern Huns actually stood firmly on the side of the Visigoths.
, often helping them deal with the Romans.
In the Battle of Adrianople, the Huns helped the Visigoths defeat the Roman army. During this war, the Northern Huns unexpectedly discovered that the huge Roman Empire turned out to be a vulnerable and empty shell.
Most of the Roman army was heavy infantry, and they could not stop the advance of the Northern Huns' cavalry. So they had to reach a compromise with the Visigoths and let the Goths help Rome deal with the Huns' cavalry. The Roman emperor was really funny, he
I don’t even think about it, if the Visigoths’ cavalry could stop the Northern Huns, would the Visigoths still have the need to flee to Rome for refuge?
Since 395 AD, the Northern Huns have been plundering the Thrace area one after another. They wanted to expand their strength through such plundering before launching a large-scale invasion of the European continent.
In 395 AD, the Roman Empire was divided into Eastern Rome and Western Rome. In 400 AD, the emperors of the Eastern and Western Romans at this time were two brothers, but the political power was not in their hands. Moreover, the two countries had strong opposition to Illyricum.
There was a dispute over the ownership of the Roman Empire. The Western Rome sent troops into the Eastern Rome. The Eastern Rome did not strengthen its vigilance and was controlled by the Western Rome.
The man who led the army into Eastern Rome was a Goth. The Goths believed in the Christian Arian sect, but this was regarded as a heresy by the Catholic Eastern Romans. Therefore, the entire Eastern Rome hated him and the Gothic army he led.
, finally a big war broke out between the two sides. The Western Romans were driven away. These Goths found the Northern Huns and asked them to help them fight back to the military city of Tantingburg.
What is unexpected is that Udan, the leader of the Northern Huns, killed Ganas and presented his head to the Eastern Roman emperor. Because he knew that the best way now was to show goodwill to the Eastern Romans first and wait for his return.
When the strength developed and Eastern Rome gradually relaxed its vigilance, the best time was for the Northern Huns to attack Eastern Rome.
The Northern Huns not only showed goodwill to the Eastern Rome, but also formed an alliance with the Western Rome. At this time, the Ostrogoths invaded the Western Rome, and the Western Rome could not resist, so the Northern Huns asked for help. Udan helped them defeat the Ostrogoths,
Then the Northern Huns plundered and withdrew.
Eastern Rome had been paralyzed for several years, and Udan thought the time was ripe. In 408 AD, he personally led an army to invade Eastern Rome. The Northern Huns army marched forward in Eastern Rome, but on their way back with their loot, they were attacked by the Eastern Romans.
The Roman army raided and the Northern Huns suffered heavy losses in this war, and Udan was almost killed.
After the defeat of this war, Udan never invaded Eastern Rome again. When the position of the leader of the Huns was passed to Lua, he often led troops to invade Seres and Macedonia. In 431 AD, the Eastern Roman emperor had to
Officially promised to pay 350 pounds of gold to the Huns every year, and allowed the Northern Huns to enter and trade.
However, there were many people in the Huns who were not satisfied with Lua's high-pressure rule, and many people fled back to the Eastern Roman Empire. There were also many tribes under the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu who secretly signed treaties with the Eastern Romans, promising to fight between them.
When the time comes, troops will be sent to aid Eastern Rome.
Rua was very angry, and he declared that the contracts signed by Eastern Rome and the Huns tribes were invalid. Eastern Rome was very afraid of another invasion by the Huns, and at this time Rua died. The Huns were jointly ruled by Breda and Attila in 435 AD.
The Huns forced Eastern Rome to sign a treaty. The main contents of the treaty included the following.
First, send back all the Northern Huns and Northern Huns tribes who had previously rebelled and returned to Eastern Rome.
Second, it abolished the treaties that the Eastern Roman Empire had privately concluded with the tribes ruled by the Huns, and from now on only recognized the treaties with Breda and Attila.
Third, the annual protection fee given to the Northern Huns was doubled.
Fourth, the Eastern Romans opened markets on the banks of the Danube River to supply supplies to the northern Huns.
Fifth, for every Eastern Roman who escaped in the territory of the Northern Huns, the Eastern Romans would be punished with 8 gold coins.
The Eastern Romans had no right to rebut, so they had no choice but to sign a treaty. Subsequently, Breda and Attila began to carry out military suppression operations in the country.
In 435 AD, Breda died, and Attila became the only king of the Northern Huns. The sphere of influence of the Northern Huns Empire ranged from Hainan to the Mediterranean Sea in the south, to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in the north, to the Don River in the east, and to the Don River in the west.
Blast furnace and the Atlantic coast. The non-Huns in the Northern Huns far outnumber the Huns. After the descendants of these Northern Huns moved westward to Europe, they seemed to have achieved the goals of their ancestors who had fought against the Central Plains dynasty for hundreds of years.
Short story: When Lei was 25 years old, he was unemployed and hungry. He walked around on the road during the day with only one purpose: to avoid debt collection from his landlord.
One day he met the famous singer Mr. Charlie Bin on 42nd Street. Rein had interviewed him before he lost his job. But what he didn't expect was that Charlie Bin recognized him immediately.
"Are you busy?" he asked Rein.
Rein answered him vaguely. He thought Charlie Bin had probably seen his situation. "The hotel I'm staying in is on No. 103 Street. Can you walk there with me?" "Walk there? But Charlie Bin
Sir, there are 60 intersections, which is not close!" "Nonsense," he said with a smile, "there are only 5 intersections.".... Rein was puzzled.
"Yes, I'm talking about the shooting arcade on Sixth Street."
This was a bit of an answer but not a question, but Rein followed him obediently.
"Now," Mr. Charibin said when they arrived at the shooting range, "there are only 11 blocks to go." After a while, they arrived at the Carnage Theater. "Now, there are only 5 blocks to the zoo."
After walking another 12 blocks, they stopped at the hotel where Mr. Charlie Bin stayed. Strangely enough, Rein didn't feel very tired.
Charlie Bin explained to him the reasons why he was not tired:
"You can always remember today's walk in your mind. This is a revelation of the art of living. No matter how far away you are from your goal, don't worry, focus your energy on the distance within S blocks.
Don’t let the distant future depress you.”
The accumulated sand forms a tower, and the gathered armpits form fur. If the stars are connected together, it will still be a brilliant starry sky!
Success is the result of a natural explosion after energy accumulates to a critical level. It is by no means achieved overnight. The expansion of a person's horizons, the improvement of knowledge, the growth of abilities, the formation of good habits, and the achievement of work results are all a continuous effort, and gradually
The process of accumulation is the sum of "a little bit of progress every day". Every major achievement is made up of a series of small achievements. If we pay attention to the lives of those who seem to be a blockbuster, we will find the "amazing" behind them
It takes a long time, little efforts and progress, and persistent pursuit.
When the Lakers were at their lowest point, Patrelli, the former coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, told the 12 members of the team: "This year we only require everyone to improve by 1% compared to last year. Is there any problem?" The players heard:
"It's only 1%, it's too easy!" So, everyone improved by 1% in free throws, rebounds, assists, interceptions, and defense. As a result, the Lakers actually won the championship that year, and it was the easiest.
One year.
You don’t need to make a big improvement at one time, just a little bit is enough. Don’t underestimate this little bit. Small changes every day will make a big difference when accumulated. And many people don’t even make this little progress in their lives.
You can definitely do it. The difference in life is just a little bit every day. If you are a little worse than others every day, in a few years, the difference will be huge.
Making a little progress every day may sound like there is no soaring courage, no attractive results, and no sensational momentum. But think about it carefully: making progress every day, little by little, is simply creating an unexpected world silently.
Miracle, a true and touching myth in a calm manner. Mr. Zhu Xueqin once said: It is better not to be a general for ten years than to be without a soldier for a day. If you want to have the power of water droplets piercing stone, you need continuous and maximum strength.
A person's efforts will take root, sprout, and bear fruit at unexpected times and places.
From now on, before going to bed every night, you may wish to reflect on yourself: What did I learn today? What did I do wrong? What did I do right? If I want to get the desired result tomorrow, what mistakes did I make?
Never do it again?
After reflecting on these questions, you will be better than yesterday. Endless progress is the basis for your continuous transcendence in life.
