Do you want to modify the protagonist and forces?

After writing for several months, the author discovered a serious problem.

Few people know Laskaris, while many people know him in Komnenos. Theodore Laskaris is already 30 years old at the beginning. According to the author’s original idea, he planned to write several generations of protagonists.

But the problem with this is that readers can read and read without knowing who the protagonist is?

The main reason why we have to write about several generations is that the Laskaris family has an unstable foundation in Asia Minor and few people support it. What's more, Western Asia Minor is already rotten to the core. It is easier to destroy an interest group from the outside than to reform it internally.

Much more.

Therefore, this will inevitably take a lot of energy and time. It is not that expansion is troublesome, but that internal affairs are very difficult.

If there were no internal political resistance, there would be no problem in restoring the territory of the Komnenos dynasty in one generation.

If Theodore was really powerful in the local area, he wouldn't be able to just be a son-in-law. In fact, he was just a rising noble. It would be difficult to gain rule. Historically, he had ruled jointly with the Vatazes family.

Only then did they gain nominal dominance. The aristocratic class of Nicaea was basically not much different from that of the Ko Dynasty. They all married each other.

Andronikos I, the last emperor of the Komnenos dynasty, went crazy and killed people. Looking at it now, it is understandable. After all, he pardoned the Angelos family twice, but Angelos continued to fight against him. This kind of humiliation

No one can bear to be shameless; the same goes for Michael VIII, who was pardoned by John III, but still continued to secretly oppose him. That is to say, John III barely resisted and did not kill anyone. (This history actually reflects the situation at that time.

How complicated are the internal problems of Dongluo, and the internal strife in Dongluo is very serious.)

During the Angelus Dynasty, Asia Minor had long been divided, and the powerful powers in various places could not fight if they wanted to. The independent warlords in Pontus, Ludia, Nicaea and other places had been divided for more than ten years. There was no way to use Chinese style

Looking at Rome at that time - everything can be solved by relying on personal ability. This is unrealistic.

The system alone was already hopelessly ill. The reason why Alexius III fled to Thrace was because Thrace was dotted with Angelos’ private property, just like why Emperor Angelos went to war every time.

They must gather from here, because this is their root.

Manuel I's annual income was about 5 million nomisma, which is about 1 million silver marks. The HRE emperor of the Staufen family may have had more than this. When Richard the Lionheart was captured, he paid a ransom of 150,000 silver marks.

200,000 might be a big number for a Crusader knight without the support of a big lord, but even if the Count of Champagne hadn't died during the Fourth Crusade, he might have been able to pay it, let alone the king of a big country. 200,000 silver marks is really not much.

It was an outrageous sum of money. However, the problem was that Don Luo couldn't even raise 200,000 yuan at the time, which shows how bad it was at that time.

In summary, the Roman Empire was rotten to the core, and reform could not solve the problem at all (reform was not only about dividing the cake, but also about how much cake the participants wanted to share. The Lascaris family was the one who divided the cake. Emperors of all generations had seriously violated the law in order to save the country.

Hits most of the cake eaters, since the ultimate goal is to completely overthrow the old class.)

No matter how many days the traveler travels, the problem cannot be solved fundamentally. A feudal country is not a socialist country. The emperor relies on the support of nobles, landlords and priests to rule, while a socialist country relies on the peasants, bourgeoisie,

workers and intellectuals.

In a feudal country, the emperor wished that his subjects were all pigs, the dumber the better; he hated intellectuals, because these people always ate the food of the court and scolded the court; the bourgeoisie did not exist in the thirteenth century; let alone the workers, Tiantian 996;

Landowners are eager to annex all the land, so how can they leave land for the farmers?

Don't look at ancient times with modern ideas. At that time, there was no national consciousness or national consciousness.

It is normal for the Nicaea Empire to be counterattacked by the Palaiolo family. The Palaiolo family represents the great aristocracy, the local old social class. Emperor Laskaris's reforms are equivalent to forcing Palaiolo to death. The only way is not to rebel.

Strange.

You might say that the worst case scenario is a civil war and a reshuffling of the cards.

The answer I gave is that it is much easier to destroy an interest group from the outside than to reform it internally.

The situation in Nicaea is just like the Ming Dynasty in the Chongzhen era. It is almost impossible to save. It may be full of martial virtue, but I am afraid it is just a return to the past, and the actual problems have already burned its butt.

(Dare you put the interests of the people first? You were dragged off the throne the next day.)

It is almost impossible to save the situation in Nicaea. Travelers are also human beings. What is the use of traveling across generations? Laskaris is just a small noble. What do the big nobles think? They will definitely not be convinced. Once there is a chance, a coup will inevitably break out.

The ending is still the same as in history, it is nothing more than changing the nobles to rebel, and delaying the rebellion by a few years.

(As mentioned at the beginning, the biggest problem is that the Laskaris family is too weak, and Nicaea is already divided by warlords. No one is willing to surrender to this small family. For example, if your surname is Ducas, your family is somewhat

Fame, why didn't you inherit the throne, why should a third-rate nobleman whom you have never heard of become the emperor? You must be unconvinced, right? Other nobles also think the same way, and they all have thoughts of rebellion, even if this family is really good at running the country.

, there is no chance, rebellion will happen sooner or later.)

Therefore, the author's suggestion is to change the protagonist, change the family, and change the territory. The plot remains the same, it also starts in 1204, and it also revives Rome.

Of the three major exile forces, Imperial was too far from heaven and too close to hell, Nicaea was rotten internally and could not be saved, and Trebizond could not find any major faults.

(Historically, the military and political levels of the Komnenos brothers were worse than the other, which is why they got into this situation. If anyone was even half as good as Ah Yi, Theodore might not be able to hold on. A pair of good cards was beaten by the two brothers.

to pulp)

The first reason is that the local people miss the rule of Komnenos. Historically, the Komnenos brothers were almost "carried" into Trebizond without any decent resistance. The local Romans welcomed King Komnenos' army.

.

The second reason is that Trebizond is far away from Constantinople, the Komnenos system remains intact, and the area is densely populated and has huge trade income.

The third reason is that Trebizond is the place where the Komnenos family flourished. It would be perfect for someone named Komnenos to rule here, and there will be very little hindrance. (The three generations of Nicaea emperors next door each time

The reform encountered great obstacles. John was assassinated twice as soon as he succeeded to the throne.)

The fourth reason is that the Komnenos family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The slogan of "reviving the Komnenos dynasty" is much louder than the slogan of "reviving the Lascaris dynasty". Almost all Romans will choose the former.

The fifth reason is that the Komnenos brothers started with the support of Georgia and had enough troops to unify the remaining Roman lands in Asia Minor; while Theodore started with nothing and was just a bare commander.

The sixth reason is that the grandfather and father-in-law of the Comnenus brothers were both killed by the Angelos family. Comnenus and Angelos had almost a blood feud, and West Asia Minor was completely Angelos' "lackey". Theodore

Lei made his fortune by being the son-in-law of Angelos. If he dared to attack these people, he would be doing it to himself.

It is much easier to destroy an interest group from the outside than to reform it internally. If you choose Trabzon, you can justifiably kill these lackeys of Angelos. Local snakes like Camatlos who are closely tied to Angelos can directly

If it is promoted, there is no need to be constrained everywhere like the three emperors of Nicaea.

The grandfathers of readers prefer expansion and farming. Few people watch this kind of palace infighting. It's like watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan", where people have one idea every day.

Rather than Laskaris carefully playing power with the locals, it would be better for Komnenos to push forward the military and directly promote the local old society, and shoot all the opponents to death. After all, the surnames are Komnenos and Ange.

Los is a sworn enemy, and you are the lackeys of the latter. Do you need a reason to shoot these people to death? Do you need to play power?

Just like the novels of the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen was submissive in reforming internal affairs and could only rely on power to save the country. The Donglin Party had to deal with the vassal king carefully; but it was different when he traveled through time and became a rebel army. He directly overturned it and started over, establishing himself as the emperor. You still need to read

Lord of the vassal, what is the attitude of the Donglin Party? Shoot them all to death.

The number of words is currently small, so it is not difficult to change it, and the general plot will not change too much. What readers want is "Revival of Rome" and "Recovery of the Castle". As for "Revival of Laskaris", they are more inclined.

, or "Komnenos Revival", most people will choose the latter.

At the same time, there is only one protagonist, and that is Alexius Komnenos; if you choose Nicaea, there will be at least five, and many of them are engaged in internal affairs rather than expansion.

The group voted to decide whether to rewrite (not delete the content, only modify the content), or continue the old way and write about Nicaea (the novel does not need to worry so much)
