Sweep the World

There were also violent soldiers in Rome. The most powerful period was during the reign of Alexander Severus. It is difficult to find an accurate answer from historical records. It is generally believed that at the insistence of Alexander Severus. The total strength of Rome will not be less than 380,000.

Only 380,000? That’s because you don’t understand how Rome’s forces are calculated. First, you must be a Roman citizen to become a field soldier, that is, a member of the so-called Roman legion. Army soldiers.

If you understand the composition of the Roman legion, you will know how terrible the figure of 380,000 soldiers, that is, 380,000 strong men who joined the army with their own armor and weapons. They usually do nothing but learn killing techniques, that is, they are professional soldiers in the true sense.

The warriors in the Spring and Autumn Period were also professional soldiers. They had slaves instead of labor, and they only needed to concentrate on learning how to kill. However, the total number of warriors in the Spring and Autumn Period will not be too many. In the Spring and Autumn Period, small countries have only one to two thousand troops, medium-sized countries have nearly ten thousand, and large countries can reach up to three to five thousand.

The Alexander Severus rioters were in various countries in the same period. At that time, the vassals were in the period of the princes fighting in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Regardless of the various princes, they had tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops, but the sources of soldiers were generally temporary recruits of various professions. (Mostly farmers), or they are conscripts enlisted through normal channels, speaking of which there are not many professional soldiers, even the most elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the later period of Cao Wei is an army composed of non-professional soldiers.

Professional soldiers are fundamentally different from the sources of troops recruited in various ways.

First of all, what professional soldiers learn is to kill people. Professional soldiers are not unfamiliar with military life. It is difficult for an army of professional soldiers to break up after a little setback.

Non-professional soldiers with mixed sources, they usually learn everything, but they don't learn the methods of killing, and their will is definitely not as good as professional soldiers. The tailwind fights are very happy. The problem is that if the situation is wrong, they are easily broken.

What kind of situation is it like for professional soldiers to fight against troops with mixed sources? Looking at the history of Rome's war against the Parthian Empire, there is a clear gap.

The war between Rome and the Parthian Empire has been fought for hundreds of years, and the two sides have won each other's victory and defeat, but the key is that Rome has always been at a gap of several times that of the Parthian Empire...even dozens of times. under. Even if Rome's military strength is far less than that of the Parthian Empire, Rome still wins more than loses. Alexander Severus violently attacked him, and in one shot the Parthian Empire was half-bodied.

The Romans had their own way of calculating the army, and Flaves asked the key point just now.

"Thirteen armies, each has 15,000 soldiers, and a total of 195,000 professional soldiers." Julian knew this well, and added: "The rest of the army, according to Cyris People say it belongs to conscripts...or county soldiers?"

Flavis was a little relaxed at that moment, and exhaled the breath in his chest: "In this way, the number of our professional soldiers is not as small as the game."

"The Serris soldiers who went to Rome were drawn from the thirteen armies." Julian didn't want to attack Flaves, but said: "My legion, Gallus' legion and Constantine The garrison in Fort, when facing them..."

The word "vulnerable" appeared in Flavis's mind, which was a fact presented by the Han people as soon as they arrived in Constantinople.

Although the Roman soldiers at the time started fighting in a dazed state, they really showed the qualities that professional soldiers should have. Unfortunately, they encountered the Han army, which was equipped with armour as the main assault force, and resisted vigorously. It was crushed.

On both sides of the road where the vehicle was advancing, Han soldiers pulled a wall to isolate the crowd. These soldiers are not wearing heavy armor. Because the three continents are in the high temperature climate all the year round, they wear short-sleeved shirts and shorts. They are covered with a light-looking armor, which is mainly a style with iron plates in the key positions of the leather organization. Most of the weapons are spears, and a few officers are sabers.

Most of the onlookers were local Asan, and Han people could also be seen. There were even Persians from Sassanids and other ethnic groups such as Serbs, millets, Gypsies...etc.

Of course, the Han people are here to do business, and they do business with the local Asan, and they also buy the trophies from the soldiers. They bought private trophies in the hands of soldiers at reasonable prices in Asan Continent, transported them back to the mainland and sold them. Generally, they could get more than double the profit, but there were also cases where they lost money to their grandma's home.

People of other ethnic groups, they were in the realm of the Gupta dynasty before the Han army invaded, and they also came to do business. Some stayed in Cutak, and more came from the rest of the Gupta dynasty after the Han army captured Cutak.

The Han Chinese came to do business here in the Asan Continent to buy goods that are not available in the mainland, and businessmen of those ethnic groups came to the Han to buy goods from the Han country. The port of Ktak was under military control, but there was no control in the city. , Under the business follow-up, it appears that it is not at all lost to the prosperity before the war, that is, it will be difficult for foreigners to purchase supplies for a while.

"Why can't you see the fear or hatred of Serris soldiers in the eyes of the trustworthy people?" Helena is in the same car with Helena and Selena. Selena is the eldest daughter of a family with a long history: "They Shouldn’t you feel scared?"

Selena is eighteen years old this year. She is exactly the age of beauty. If judged by the aesthetic standards of the Romans, she is undoubtedly a beauty of the goddess level. She did not imitate the blonde hair dyed by her Roman noble lady, and she did not show much in her dress, and even seemed a little conservative in terms of Roman social values.

"Look at the eyes of ordinary people with confidence in the eyes of those short soldiers and soldiers of the same race." Selena reminded and said: "You can see the fear and hatred that your Excellency said."

The short soldiers are of course the servants from the Uygur Islands. They are the vanguard of the faith battlefield. They are the first to charge every time a war breaks out. They are everywhere on battlefields and military-controlled cities and villages. The work ordered by the Han people.

The so-called soldiers of this race are of course Ah San’s imperial alliance. Their origin is not the defeated and captured prisoners, but some high caste who knows the current affairs and joins the Han army. They are the private army of the high caste, and the high castes recognize the Han people. Daddy, as the subordinates of the high caste, naturally they also have to work for the Han people.

Previously, the Han people assigned the Japanese servant army to do some dirty and tiring work. With the Associated Army of the Three Emperors, they no longer use the deadly use of the Army of the Three Emperors. The Japanese servant army supervised the operation of the Associated Army of the Three Emperors.

Just like many traitors, once you become a traitor, you no longer have any moral concepts, let alone fellowship, and even do things that are far more cruel and cruel than the invaders. Naturally, you will reap the hatred from your colleagues.

Many times the Han army appeared as justice messengers. For example, it pulled out a wicked Asan Emperor’s Army for trial, ruled on a Japanese servant army, showed the justice and greatness that belonged to the Han people, and reaped the gratitude from the Asan people. And worship.

The Associated Army of the Three Emperors, who was defined as full of wickedness, would be dealt with not because of what he did to his compatriots, but because of the lack of execution of the orders of the Han army, or the simple supervision of his Japanese servant army. Not happy, it is more likely to be the undercover agent of Asan, who was in the Han camp.

"The big man is here to promote Wang Hua." Huan Wen was also asked by Wang Meng just now about the attitude of the Asan people, and said triumphantly: "To conquer their tyranny and to subdue their people is called conquest."

When the Han people came to the Asan Continent, they naturally wanted to do things like looting and plundering the land, but they didn't want to take the spoils back after they walked away. Taking into account some of their images is conducive to the rule of Asan in the future.

"Jing Lue shouldn't know..." Huan Wen didn't need to bow down to Wang Meng. It was only out of the purest investment, and he gave the latest news from the center: "The center is already discussing the issue of entrustment."

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment. When he was Liu Yan's personal secretary, he had guessed from a few aspects that Liu Yan did not reject enfeoffment, but that he rejected enfeoffment of the old land of the Han family, so that although he rewarded the heroes on the wealth, but rewards The country that has gone out is not at all, it is only the level of the land.

The so-called feudal state is a feudal land that can completely decide on its own, and there is no need to pay any taxes to the emperor or the government.

Sealing the land means having the right to collect taxes in that place, but it cannot interfere with any administration itself, just enjoying the offerings from the land.

Huan Wen is now Xinping Hou (Ting Hou), and he only enjoys the honor and status from the knighthood, and naturally also has the hidden convenience brought by the knighthood, but there is really not much wealth, let alone enjoying the real Hou Guo. The right to govern the country within a country.

"Partitioning!" Huan Wen couldn't help being excited even if he repeatedly mentioned it: "Your Majesty treats his subjects with such kindness, and his spirit is a rare encounter in a thousand years."

In the morning for a few years, the ministers from the Dragon were all looking forward to rewards for their merits, but Liu Yan was only generous in wealth. It was not without rhetoric about being stingy with the feudal town. If it weren’t for Liu Yan’s mystery, he would come again. Liu Yan has the prestige of a "national liberator", and some people who are not satisfied are not incapable of rebelling.

Wang Meng's current status is inferior, and he does not want to talk about this topic, but Huan Wen is too excited to be disappointed: "The land of the division is the Asan Continent?"

"Asan Continent, and the Black Continent that has just been discovered." Huan Wen's biggest wish before was to have an entitlement, but his thin arms were destined to break his thighs, and he didn't have that obsession for a long time. He now thinks that it is the greatest good thing to have a country that can be his master, and he no longer insists on where he is sealed: "The news is very accurate, and they are busy calculating money and recruiting warriors, waiting for your majesty to issue an edict. It's a game."

Wang Meng understood a little bit. When there were so many fleets on the way back, it turned out that the families knew that they had to be divided and rushed to discover the details of the African continent.

Chatting with those not secret news, the carriage entered the city and stopped in front of the gate of the original City Lord's Mansion.

The Asangao caste has always been unparalleled in terms of enjoyment, that is, the provenance shows the atmosphere of nouveau riche, such as the use of gold.

As the City Lord’s Mansion, its buildings are being built in a taller way. Especially after choosing the hills in the city, the pavilions and walking gardens everywhere are in line with nature. In addition, the lakes have been manually excavated and the waterfalls have been created. landscape.

"The roof of the tallest building..." Helena pointed to the shiny golden thing on the top of the mountain: "Is it gold? How big is the gold to be seen from a distance!"

It was a gold ingot melted into a triangle. The volume looked really big, so I don't know if it was gilded or solid.

Unlike Helena, whose focus is on wealth, Helena and Selena, the latter two focus on the fit with nature, and feel that they should feel comfortable living.

The City Lord’s Mansion covers a very large area, and there is even a barracks that can accommodate three thousand soldiers. The rest are places for rest and play.

When building a house, Ah San pays attention to setting aside a square, which includes raising flowers, plants, grass, or animals, and there is more than just one fountain.

"Reliability... No, it's Ah Sanxiu's pool technique or learning from us." Julian didn't say nonsense to this. He walked on the deep corridor and looked at a large pool not far away, inexplicably In his tone, he said: "They are still greener than blue."

It’s not just a big pool~www.wuxiamtl.com~ at all, it’s a well-built swimming pool. It is about the size of a modern basketball court. The surrounding ground is built with pottery. The other five sides of the pool are also The pottery was built.

Nowadays, many women dressed in cool clothes are having fun. Looking at their appearance and skin color, they can be distinguished from many regions. Some of Asan’s high caste women, women from Persia, I don’t know where the fair-skinned women are, anyway. There are many varieties.

"Seris is very fascinated by the slave trade." Flavis is very clear about the reason why a country is fascinated by the slave trade. Later, he added: "In particular, there is a great demand for female slaves."

Julian, who heard the strings and knew the elegance, thought about it for a while, and said: "We are at a disadvantage in the trade relationship with Serris."

The two people looked at each other. They thought about it more than once when they dreamed back at midnight. Rome had little resistance to the products of the Han people. Basically, they wanted to buy something every time they saw it, but they had very little in themselves. There are Chinese people who want to buy goods.

"I need to write back to China." Julian asked: "How about you?"

Flavis smiled, he also happened to need to write back to China.
