Sweep the World

Chapter 863: : Scare yourself

"Wang Meng will arrive today?"

"According to General, the fleet has reached'Dingwu'... the fastest update"

Huan Wen nowadays can be said to be full of spirits. He led an army across the sea, and destroyed Gitanato in half a month, and took four months to capture all the coasts of the Gupta Dynasty. In the history of Zhuxia, the general who defeated the city and destroyed the country It is everywhere, but no general has ever achieved such a great cause of destroying the country across the sea.

Dingwu was the area where the Han army first landed in Jitanado. There were originally only some small fishing villages. In order to make the troops coming across the sea better land ashore, Huan Wen ordered the construction of a military port during the first landing. After that, a battalion was built, and the battalion slowly expanded into a military town.

As the Han army captured the coast of the Gupta dynasty, especially the largest port of the Gupta dynasty, Ketak, the immediate military status of Dingwu in Gitanadu was also reduced again and again, but it still has great political significance there. .

Zhu Xia was very particular about his geographical location. Once it was built by the army, it would basically have the word "wu" in the name.

Throughout the long history, there are too many places with the word "wu" in Zhuxia, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At that time, the princes paid attention to spring ploughing and autumn warfare. Every place the army went, it was bound to be a stronghold. The scales were large or small, some were built quickly, and some were built on an everlasting scale.

Because it was built for the purpose of garrisoning troops, it was basically named "Wucheng". As a result, when you opened the map of the Spring and Autumn Period, the whole map was named "Wucheng" geographically.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was the tail of the classical military of the Xia Dynasty. Although there are still some traces of the classical era in the subsequent dynasties, some traditions have disappeared. For example, after the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhu Xia's outward expansion no longer appeared "Wucheng", and even lost the old tradition of constructing towns as barriers wherever the army went.

The decline of "Wucheng" shows a serious problem. Looking at the changes in the size of the territory of each dynasty, you will find that the territory of Zhuxia before the Eastern Han Dynasty is increasing even if it expands slowly, and it occupied a land until the dynasty's demise. It is firmly controlled (not taken away by other countries).

Lost the old tradition of building "Wucheng", it is as powerful as Yang Sui and Li Tang. The real situation is that Sui Jun (Tang Jun) came to this land to be Sui Tu (Tang Tu), but it was accompanied by Sui Jun (Tang Jun). After the departure, the land became owned by another race (other country) again.

The local administrative unit of "Jimi District" was initiated by Yang Sui. The so-called "Jimi District" means that the place on the map nominally belongs to Yang Sui's territory, but in fact it only has a name, truly Whether the people who control the "military area" are willing to obey the emperor's order is another matter, usually taking advantage of it but not listening.

Later, Li Tang learned Yang Sui’s policies, especially to carry forward the policy in an even more vigorous way. In short, he didn’t care about the order and issued the “Ji Mi District” and would like to listen. What he wanted was a letter of allegiance sent from a certain place, so fair and honest. Land incorporates a piece of land into the territory of Li Tang, making Li Tang’s territory map look so big.

The phrase "the solidity of the country, morality is not in danger" has been mentioned by countless people. Although the human heart is important, it is changeable. When you love it at the last moment and become a foe at the next moment, when you don’t pay attention to the real challenges of national defense, it is of course no matter what. Win the hearts of the people, but they can't escape the fate of destruction.

Qin had the danger of Hangu Pass, based in the northwest for more than 800 years, and relying on the dangers to repeatedly turn the dangers into bargaining, the first emperor's great cause of sweeping the wastes.

Why Guanzhong has always been the land of kings and hegemony? It is because Guanzhong has mountains and terrains and dangerous passes as a backing, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and a defeat is not a complete defeat to even the panties.

History has also proved that any expansion does not build immortal towns. Expansion is a trifle for me to advance and retreat, and I retreat into the enemy. Fortunately, the old Zhu family finally picked up the traditions of Zhuxia’s classical military era. It was the construction of the fort and the presence of garrisons, which finally saved the Han people from the embarrassment of advancing and retreating. Only then did the Manchu "inherit" the vast world that the old Zhu family had defeated.

"Your Majesty has said,'For the sake of the country, both virtue and risk.'" Huan Wen is now standing on the land of the immortal camp that has just been built: "Aggression is like fire, immobility is like a mountain, it is better to progress slowly."

Countless military examples have repeatedly shown that when the national strength is sufficient, there is nothing like attacking and occupying a place to establish a station, and then continue to advance faster or slower, this kind of invasion method is the safest.

When the Han army came to Asan Continent, swallowed Gitanadu as a bridgehead, and formally marched toward the Gupta Dynasty, it is of course best to have a city built by Asan on the route, and the difficult terrain is where the conditions are no matter how difficult it is. Will build a permanent fortress.

Any country or nation will only choose to take risks when its strength is not as good as that of its people. Whoever has absolute strength will take unnecessary risks. Generals with a slightly normal mind will choose to be steady and steady.

Therefore, there is a phenomenon that there have always been many famous generals in weak countries, and no powerful generals in strong countries.

The country is so weak, it is really impossible to play against the opponent without the sword. I succeeded and became famous, and the country also had a chance to breathe. Failed... Death and death.

The country is powerful, and the enemy can be killed casually with the use of resources. Anyone will say that even a pig can command a victory. It is the commander’s command, no matter how perfect it is, it will inevitably be the country’s powerful strength. Concealed.

Huan Wen now wants people and people, supplies and supplies, and what he wants. It's quite comfortable to have a small life.

The fleet going to Rome will pass through the Asan Continent. The center means to let the Romans and Persians land ashore and see how the Han army is squeezing the Gupta dynasty step by step.

Huan Wen’s decision to the center is to raise his hands and feet in favor. There is nothing more worthy of showing off than letting a foreigner see how he is. A new war is about to break out.

Regardless of whether he was an official or a knighthood, Huan Wen was much higher than Wang Meng, and he also belonged to uncles in age. But just because Wang Meng was an angel, Huan Wen should personally come to Ketak to greet him even if he was pretending to be an angel.

"This used to be the largest port in Gupta, now..." Flaves looked at the land. The city was still that city, but the flag on the top of the city became the Han side: "It belongs to Seres."

The coastal city of Cuttack is well-known in both Persian Sassanid and Rome. Many goods from the Asan Continent are shipped from here, and then trafficked to Persian Sassanian or Rome by sea. There are countless Assams to Persia. People and Romans have told or flaunted the prosperity of Cutak, which made it famous.

"Look over there!" Julian pointed his finger forward, where the city wall had collapsed for a long time. From a distance, you could see several huge pits: "The Serris must have used that kind of weapon!"

He was talking about gunpowder, but Julian couldn't guess it in what way. He only knew that there would be horrible destructive power after thunder, and there was no such word as "explosion".

Cuttack has changed from a civilian port to a military port, and when it will be converted to a civilian port, the Han army thinks it is appropriate. In the port, rows of warships berthed against each other. At first glance, it would not be less than a thousand ships, making it look like a ship was built on the sea and on land. If a ship wants to enter the port, it must be sailing. The waterway for the moored vessel to let out.

Some seemingly large warships attracted the attention of the Romans and Persians. They had never seen a big ship over a hundred meters in length, and could not understand what the long pipes at the bow and stern were. I can't even understand what the building connected by the pipe is.

The entire Han nation currently has only 20 gunboats, ten of which joined the war against the Gupta dynasty. However, the Gupta dynasty’s navy was wiped out before participating in the naval duel, and the latter were used to bombard the coast. The purpose of the city.

The gunboat was reduced to shelling the coast for the first time participating in the war. It did not show its heroism in the naval battle, but still showed its hideous side. The direct consequence was that the Gupta Dynasty successively abandoned the coastal turtles and shrank inland.

The Romans and Persians squeezed on the deck were like grandma Liu entering the garden. They were dazzled. It was the first time they saw so many warships parked side by side. It was clear that it was only the warships parked here. It seems that there may not be a large number of warships in the country, but these warships are all capable of ocean navigation.

"A warship takes a hundred soldiers, just the ship anchored here needs 100,000 soldiers!" Julian kept breathing in the air, "What we see is fifty legions."

Of course, not every ship needs a hundred soldiers. The standard configuration of small ships, including sailors, is 28 people. Medium ships have increased to 80, and large ships have nearly 200. When needed It is the people who can carry more.

How many legions are there in Rome? Counting the private armies of each family, there will be no more than two hundred legions if they die. Taking the standard configuration of 2,000 men per legion, that is, 400,000 soldiers (field soldiers).

"Fifty legions, no matter at any time, are enough for us to hit the Mediterranean coast all over." Flavis was right. Rome did not reach the number of fifty legions in many cases, but it was all over. Knowing the World’s Invincible Hand: "We only used 38 legions to eliminate Parthia, including the Serving Regiment and the Barbarian Legion."

The Roman legion under the rule of Alexander Severus had a base of 6,000 troops per legion, three times that of the Roman legion under the reign of Constantius II.

The Roman regiments are not a group of soldiers who do logistics maintenance. On the contrary, the soldiers of the regiments are all veterans who have been fighting for a long time. The combat effectiveness is more powerful than the Roman regiment named Guards, but every single regiment is more powerful. The military strength generally does not exceed three thousand.

The barbarian legions under the command of the Romans, the strength of each barbarian legion is inconsistent.

For example, the 9th Spanish Legion, which was quite famous in the era of Alexander Severus, was actually recruited from various barbarians, and its strength exceeded 10,000 at its peak.

In addition, the Macedonian, Germanic, Celtic, Saxon, and many other legions under the command of the Romans had less than 1,000 troops and more than 50,000 troops.

Standing on the deck watching the Romans and Persians of the Han fleet, they have only one mind now, that is, after returning to China, they must call for an increase in military strength. Otherwise, if Han intends to invade, only the naval strength of Han will be enough. Drink a pot.

Of course, not all ships of the embassy fleet will enter the port. The ships Wang Meng is on, including those carrying passengers from afar, will enter the port. The rest of the ships will either berth outside the port or head towards Malacca first.

Wang Meng saw Huan Wen from a distance, but he didn't dare to hold it in the slightest. After the ship docked, people walked up quickly when they got off the land.

"I have seen angels!" Huan Wen took the lead in saluting because of Wang Meng holding the Angel Festival. He didn't have any scorn in his attitude. He respected the authority representing the emperor. He waited for Wang Meng to return the gift and put away the Angel Festival before he smiled and said: "Jing Lue looks very energetic."

"I have seen Xinpinghou!" Wang Meng respectfully greeted him. He glanced at Julian, Kexias and others who were following to disembark. After introducing them one by one, he complimented: "How fast is the general strategy."

"Hahaha!" Huan Wen looked very happy, but he wanted to say: "Relying on the emperor's power, soldiers and soldiers can achieve a little achievement."

Julian just knew who the Han general in front of him was and how many rights he had. He heard that he was still the head of a family with a long history, and he kept looking curiously.

Huan Wen can now say that the power is in control. It belongs to the organization under his command. There are 80,000 excluding servants and slaves, and more than 3,000 naval ships. It can be said that he can easily destroy most of the known countries. military force.

There was a round of greetings~www.wuxiamtl.com~Naturally, we couldn't stand at the dock and talk, so everyone got on the vehicle prepared in advance and went into the city to their place of stay.

"For generals like Huan Wen, Cyris has only four." Julian has done his homework: "Huan Wen is not the most powerful general. I heard that a general named Xie An is leading the army to fight in the old northwestern land of Cyris. A general named Lu Tai is in charge of being in the northeast of Seris, and a general named Li Tan has been leading his army in the north of Seris. They are generals at the rank of "Zheng", and each of them commands an army of no less than 200,000. ."

The Romans who just learned about such a thing were all dumbfounded. The four generals of the "Zheng" ranks of east, south, west, and north combined have 800,000 troops. There must be other ranks of generals in Han. , Then how many troops should there be?

They didn’t know that Julian was talking nonsense at all, except for a few special cases, such as the outbreak of a national war, or it was like Li Tan’s war in the north ended, and only one army plus a part of the frontier army was left under his command, which was almost 20,000. Forces around.

"I heard that there are not only four generals, but four towns, Siping, and Sifu, as well as generals, generals, hussars, and generals..." Julian said, like a partner who deliberately frightened the traffic, "You can imagine How many troops are there to leave Seris?"
