Sweep the World

Perhaps it was not reconciled, or it was because his confidence gained after a small victory, Fu Wei chose to hang far behind the remnant formation of the Gupta dynasty that had failed and left.

　　 Two battle formations from different civilizations competed throughout the day in the later Bay of Bengal area, from the east of the island near Sri Lanka to the north until the end of the war.

　　 After night fell, Fu Wei originally thought that the enemy would control the lights, but he didn't expect the enemy to do that.

　　 "It's still a trap." Chen Tan didn't think there was anything complicated: "The area should be not far from their homeland, leaving the lights to let us continue to follow, hoping that we can continue to follow."

　　 Fuwei walked to the table where the chart was placed, and after marking the chart with his own hands, he ordered: "Quit following, and revise the route according to the original plan!"

　　 During the daytime battle, their three warships did not suffer damage... If being shot by arrows is not considered damage, there is actually no need to return to the stronghold.

In a hasty encounter, almost a whole day of confrontation, the formation in combat did not even have time to eat. After the combat state was lifted and changed to guard patrol, the fatigue hit immediately. Many people even had food. Did not go to sleep directly.

　　 On the side of the three remaining fleets of the Gupta Dynasty, Picard Malik really wanted to attract the Han Guo fleet to follow. Since the Han Guo fleet was under light control, no one of them could be sure whether the opponent was following.

"It's just a small attempt, and it doesn't matter if you haven't followed." Faced with Djean Mark's question, Picard Malik shrugged his shoulders: "The loss of four ships is nothing to us. Fortunately, the loss of only four ships made us realize that there is a new threat."

　　Whether it was during the Guishuang Empire or the establishment of the Gupta Dynasty, Asan has always been Asan's ocean. No one has ever been able to take control of this ocean from Asan's hands.

Picard Malik really didn’t take the loss to heart. After they landed in the port, he even drank a little wine in a very good mood, and reunited with Djean Marcour the next day before going to see him. Own boss.

　　 "You mean, yesterday we encountered a fleet of ships that we had never seen before, and they had no intention of communicating with them and immediately launched an attack?"

　　 Katluk Karp is a Brahmin, and of course he is also a nobleman. He is not a fat body and hateful appearance, on the contrary, he seems to be a middle-aged uncle who is very aristocratic and full of prestige.

In fact, most Brahmins were very self-disciplined during the Kushan Empire and the Gupta Dynasty. They considered themselves to be the chosen people, and they were more noble than countless people from the moment they were born. They would receive systematic education, including literature, since they were young. Knowledge and the martial arts used for fighting, the more emphasis is on management.

　　 On Asan’s side, Brahmins are only divided into nobles and monks. Nobles are not all equal. It is necessary to distinguish the upper line ancestors of blood (surname) to distinguish who is higher. Ah San recognized the existence of "Bang" since the Maurya Dynasty, and every brahmin of the highest sect was actually a child of "Bang King" and gradually evolved into a social manager.

Ah San’s clothing looks very colorful. As long as he allows only one color of the fabric on his body, he is able to wear more gold objects and he is never willing to lose his style. Various pendants such as rings and necklaces will be inlaid. Full of precious stones, no matter how you look at it, there are nouveau riche fans.

Katluk Karp is the above-mentioned appearance. Under the sunlight, the whole body is shining with the reflection of gold and gems. He stared at the two people who came to report in confusion: "They have clearly stopped on our ship to indicate surrender. At that time, the other party still carried out an unhonorable massacre?"

　　 may be nonsense, but it is absolutely true. The Romans under the rule of Europa, the countries on Asan’s side, including the Sassanid dynasty, are far more concerned about the rules of engagement than the Central Plains dynasty. That is, on the premise that the status is noble enough, I feel that there is no possibility of winning in a battle, and there is no hope of escape. Surrender is not a shameful thing. On the contrary, it is recognized that the surrender will be used as a ransom to redeem life. Naturally, those who accept the protection of the rules are limited to those who are noble enough and can afford the ransom, and the others should die or have to die, generally becoming slaves.

　　 "Yes, I swear to the goddess." Picar. Malik is only qualified to swear to Shiva, one of the highest gods of Asan, only Kshatriya, and castes below Kshatriya do not have such qualifications. He vowed to say: "They are definitely a group of highly civilized countries, but their behavior is extremely barbaric."

　　 When Picard Malik swears, he touched the red mole on his forehead with his right hand. However, it was not a mole, it was a decoration that Kshatriya was qualified to put on. After clicking on his right hand, he raised his hands up and then spread them down, and his legs would be slightly crossed and bent down. It was a set of religious etiquette.

"I will take it seriously." Katluk Karp didn't want to ask how much Kapil Malik's formation had lost. He just nodded again and again, like a charity, and said: "Once the intelligence is useful, you will get Deserved reward."

Ah San’s social system is not simple. They accept hereditary official positions, but the central government has never had much control over the localities. There is also a king who is the supreme ruler, but there will be countless state kings below. . Under their social system, as long as they have enough status, they can organize their own armed forces, but from the personnel's salary to the equipment installed, they are all funded by private individuals. Losses in the performance of national missions are generally reported based on conscience. Whether they will be compensated later is another matter.

　　 So, Picard Malik only needs to report how many high-caste people have lost, and he needs to pay those who sacrifice high-caste pensions. For those of the lower castes, including the lost warships, it is only natural for him not to pay the pension. If the country does not replenish the warships, he will lose command of a few ships at most. Whether to replenish them later depends on his financial resources.

In the whole process of reporting, Djean Markur existed as a background wall. Although he was also a Kshatriya, he did not have his own armed forces after the family collapsed because of the generations of the Markur family and the Malik family. After making good friends, I can mix positions in Picard's battle formation, and I don't have the right to speak directly with the Brahmin, Katluk Karp.

　　 Behind the two of them was led by a large group of servants out of the magnificent mansion, and they stood still on the street.

　　 Dejean Marcour wanted to ask for a long time, but he knew how to look at the occasion: "Why don't you tell another level of guessing?"

"Do you mean that they may be from the Far East?" Pical Malik shrugged his shoulders and said with an expression of "you are funny": "We have no evidence, and Karp will not believe that conservative The country will not be far away. Even if it is really from that country in the Far East, don’t you think it’s better not to talk about it?"

　　 Dejean Markur was both stunned and confused, and he didn't understand what Picard Malik meant.

"My brother, our ancestors said long ago that the country belongs to the country, and the family belongs to the family." Pical Malik taught: "The Malik family has fulfilled its obligations for the country in that battle. I have also reported the facts I know. Now I want to think about what benefits the Malik family will gain in this unprecedented incident."

　　 It is not only the aristocratic families in the Central Plains that put family interests in front of the country. It is a family in any country in the world. They will first consider family interests, and then national interests.

　　 The Malik family has been developing in Cutak for hundreds of years. The longer the time, the more complicated the relationship with the local families. Picard had previously told Djean Markour that some merchants from the East had appeared on Cuttack's side. He believed that there must be a connection, and it might be an opportunity for the Malik family to regain silk from the East. chance.

　　The land-based Silk Road has been broken since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Sassanid and Gupta dynasties can still obtain a small amount of goods from the Maritime Silk Road, but there is nothing to the west of the seat of the Sassanid dynasty.

　　 The Maritime Silk Road was not prosperous. It can even be said that only a few Gupta merchants would go to the site of the small Eastern Jin court by sea, so that the small Eastern Jin court often received countries that did not exist at all.

The number of tributaries recorded in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is not too small. Under the premise that the north of the Yangtze River was almost completely lost, those who came to tributary basically went by sea. The names of the countries reported were strange, but in fact they were not serious foreign envoys. It was some businessmen posing as envoys.

The face of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was trampled on the ground for a long time, and would not investigate whether there was that country at all. It would receive it cautiously every time, and would also give several times the tribute in return to prove that he was still a celestial dynasty. Going to the country, there is still a group of young people willing to come to greet.

　　 "Isn't that country oppressed to the south by the nomads in the north?" Djean Macur knew some information, but it was definitely out of date. He guessed: "Could it be that they have resolved the external crisis and returned to their previous prosperity?"

　　 It seems that only this can be explained? Otherwise, a country facing an external crisis would not have enough power to protect itself. How could that power expand to the outside world?

　　 The Gupta Dynasty still knew that there was a powerful empire in the East, and that that powerful empire fell into civil strife and was eventually overthrown. It seldom paid attention to what would happen afterwards. After all, the two sides were too far apart.

"No matter what the East becomes, except for them, I really can't think of anyone who can reach out to our ocean." Picard Macri stopped on the street and said with a smile: "But that It’s a big deal. What we need to do now is find those Eastern businessmen."

Ketak was considered a good city in the Gupta dynasty. No one knows how many people there is, because the Gupta dynasty did not treat untouchables as adults like the previous Kushuang Empire, and only records those above Sudra. Rending household registration.

Cuttack is just off the coast, and there are several foreign trade ports. The foreign population basically landed from here. Some foreign merchants would go to Fahrenheit (the capital of the Gupta Dynasty), and some would sell and sell goods locally. Purchasing went to sea again.

　　 There are still many products produced by Asan, but the largest export share is pigments and metals. The export of high-quality steel makes the most profit. Of course, they are not selling steel directly, but making them into weapons. They are not weapons of that standard, but they are sold as luxury goods.

　　As a local snake, it took nearly half a month for Picard Malik to collect information from Eastern merchants, which shows that the Han people of the Gupta Dynasty were very careful.

　　 "They are not in Cuttack, and the last one that left was seven days ago." Djean Makur's acceptance of Picar Malik's employment is not only in military affairs, but more like an assistant. He had to doubt: "It must have been known that someone was searching for their information before he left."

　　In the past half month, news of more unknown fleets has been found on Asanyo. Katluk Karp has also asked Picard Malik several times for inquiries. The reason is that the losses of the Gupta dynasty have increased again and again.

As the top local manager, Katluk Karp paid attention to it. The first thing he did was to investigate the ships in the port. He actually seized a ship from Han and detained some crew members. The rest of the Han ships were Leave Hong Kong early.

　　 Picar. Malik has been to prison to see the detained crew members~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He also brought an interpreter, like Katluk Karp, the information he got was very limited.

　　 "I have spread the news about the ship in custody, and I believe someone will come to contact me soon."

Picard Malik knows at least that a unified country has appeared in the East, and the country name is still the extremely prestigious "Han". He does not know the difference between the current "Han" and the "Han" during the Guishuang Empire. But he knew that Katluk Karp decided to take the detainees to Fahrenheit City just because he heard the country name "Han".

Of course Ah San knew the Xianhan. After all, the powerful Guishuang suffered many losses on Xianhan's side. The nobles of the Dayue clan suffered a great humiliation for marrying a princess in the Han clan, although that was not related to the South. What's the matter with San, or even using it as a joke, but at least knows who is not easy to provoke.

"The lord invited me to go to the capital together." Picard Malik pointed to the butler who was standing quietly next to him, and said to Djean Markur from behind: "I have decided to go to see the king with the lord, if there are really people. Come to contact us, you need to contact us."

　　 Dejean Marcour agreed, but then he said in a bewildered manner: "Why does the city lord pay so much attention to the other party's country name only when he hears it?"

At this moment, Picard Malik has some sense of superiority, all because he knows a lot of information, and he said in a general sense: "Because'Han' represents prosperity and extinction of the country and countless tribes, not only The city lord will pay attention to it, and I believe the king will not dare to be careless."nt
