Basil II, the Byzantine Empire, the mid-male main in the long years of history of the Byzantine Empire, passive two golden era beaten much longer than the time of prosperity, but also had a glorious past the Basil II (lssjt.cn) era is neck and neck with the Justinian era.

Bulgarian in the late 7th century the establishment of the State, Croom Archduke era began in the early 9th century Byzantine rival Simon the Great compel Byzantine humble tribute, even almost captured the Byzantine Oza the face of the threat of various "barbarians", Byzantine Empire also has its advantages. Christianity is one of its weapons, often can play the role of the enemy your friend. while "by quite hit quite the usual tricks of the Byzantine Empire, the use of money or other bait, to win over the other." barbarians "to combat a greater threat to the" barbarians ", the Byzantine Empire also won a reputation for cunning and varied
867 years, from the Macedonian Basil I completed by a farmer to the emperor's fabulous of course, the establishment of the Macedonian dynasty, the magic figure in the military and diplomatic success, and has laid a good foundation for his successor to his son Leo VI era, hit the heyday of the Bulgarian Kingdom Simon Great whip suffered a lot of shame, to Constantine VII and Roman II era, the power of the empire gradually fell into the hands of the military aristocracy
958, Basil II was born. he was five years old, his father, Roman II died, he succeeded to the throne as emperor by the Queen of Philippine Fang Na regent but then mastered the empire and military power Niji Fu Buddha card with Philippine Fang Na married to stepfather identity with the younger brother of Basil become rule by Emperor. Niji Fu �� Buddha card is representative of Asia Minor military aristocracy quite a lot of the military to from the Arab hands recaptured Crete, Cyprus, and use Ross give enemies Bulgaria devastating blow but this illustrious commander palace conspiracy in 1967, died in a brutal murderer Qi Kami took his throne, Basil second rule by & rdquo ;.
976 years, Qi Kami died, 18-year-old Basil II, determined to own all powerful. has launched excessive emperors of Asia Minor military aristocracy eager launched their new leader Trask Lille. Trask Lille in Qi Kami death immediately declared himself for the rule of Emperor Thus, a civil war is inevitable, Basil II dispatched to go with the same name when Chief Long eunuch Basil insurgency, but the eunuch Basil military incompetence Trask Lille arrogance even more arrogant, [the l $ dj��.��r��] Basil II had hired another the Asia Minor feudal nobility Varda Buddha card finally crushed the rebellion of Gdansk Lille the revolt lasted three years (976-979 years).
Varda �� Buddha card nor good class. Basil II with a series of policies to strengthen the centralized, repression forces too large The aristocracy of Asia Minor, and angered the aristocracy of Asia Minor, so Varda �� Foka Li with such discontent, pull up their own banner. 987 years, he declared himself emperor, soon control the whole of Asia Minor, Basil II there were only Constantinople. Basil life crisis moment, but the potential is only at this juncture in order to fully play out. took full advantage of the occupation of the capital and the orthodox position of these two advantages, the use of Jun Constantine Fort ample financial resources, Luo Siwa Varyag bodyguard team as his main army, after two years of fighting, put down the rebellion.
Basil 5-year-old throne, 18-year-old reign, 31 before to Pingding all hostile forces years old, really arrogate all powers. although born in the palace being longer than the hands of the woman, but given the test of the insurgency to seize power after a few palace peace, has boiled a seasoned monarch.
military aristocracy, the former serious threat to monarchical Asia Minor; rebellion after twice been badly hit, but Basil aristocratic forces still fear the other hand, when the great nobles are more willing to put money into more profitable land management career annexation of land activities intensified, as the economic situation of the national army and tax the cornerstone of homesteaders sergeant deteriorating, the steady decline in the number of free farmers of service compulsory labor and pay taxes. Basil soberly, his ruling policy a key point is to contain despots. 996 years, he strictly big feudal lords ejido farmers land encroachment must be return in full. "payment of Act promulgated in 1001, provisions of the rich and powerful" must be paying taxes & ldquo ; poor and the weak is responsible, if the poor and the weak are unable to pay, the payment by the rich and powerful ". means teaching vulgar big landlords will have to be responsible for the taxes for their serfs, both to ensure national 's total tax revenues, and the fight against the big landlords are greedy Although this Act was the big feudal lords who strongly opposed, but the reign of Basil II will continue its adhere continue.

Generally speaking, a community in the case of no intervention will occur spontaneously divide between rich and poor, usually only dynasty early strong emperors have the ability to reverse this trend, the efforts of King Mongkut and King emperors often difficult to receive the effect.

Basil II to gain a firm foothold, they would in the eyes of the stare to launch a large-scale war in this brutal war lasted for 22 years, spent most of the energy of the middle-aged Basil decisive victory last in 1014 �Ͷ���˹�� Battle in 1018, fully annexed Bulgaria have been brilliant Bulgarian Kingdom thus on the world map disappeared nearly 170 years of the war also make Byzantine established the sovereignty of Serbia. the Basil II command blind the eyes of the 15,000 prisoners of war, per 100 people left only blinded one, led by the one-eyed man blind Back Bulgaria Basil II, which won the title of "Bulgaria butcher" This is the biggest blot on his life.
Basil II took advantage of the further division of the Arab Empire east development site. He made several expeditions near the Caucasus region, occupied part of Georgia, and Armenia into the empire, another part continue to exist as a vassal of the Byzantine to the year of the death of Basil II, the Byzantine Empire reached since Justinian era territory.
