Sweep the World

In the follow-up reception, Yuan Qiao received enough goodwill from various countries, without exception, he wanted to establish friendly relations with each other and establish trade channels.

Yuan Qiao has a rather scornful attitude towards the so-called friendly relations of those countries. What he wants is that the countries agree to the Han country to go to buy food.

As for the equality relationship, there is no such thing as a root. As long as it is the surrounding countries, the Central Plains elites have only two consistent attitudes towards those countries, that is, they choose to surrender or be destroyed.

Knowing a country, the Central Plains dynasty would want to succumb to become a younger brother or directly occupy the country’s land. This kind of thinking has appeared since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the same is true of Qin Yitong. The Western Han Dynasty even put this hegemonic thinking into action. For countries beyond the reach, it is an attitude that is unreasonable.

Is it possible that Wang Tu and Li Tu’s shores in the whole world are not just talks, it is something that the Central Plains dynasty can do according to the calendar. The Central Plains dynasty has always been basically true except for the split period and the two Song dynasties. So dry, the tributary system also appeared under this kind of thinking.

Of course, Yuan Qiao would not express the psychology of an elite culturally educated in the Central Plains, that is, he would show some arrogance when receiving envoys from various countries, but any country including Persian Sassan (not including or not) The Romans who arrived), even if they feel unaccustomed to or dissatisfied with Yuan Qiao’s arrogance, most people take it for granted.

A strong country should look like a strong country, and it is a rule that the strong should not pretend to color the weak. As a weak person, accepting contempt from the strong is often even rejoicing. After all, it is better for the strong to despise the weak in attitude than to directly use force.

Yuan Qiao was equal to the greatest extent possible for the principal and deputy envoys from the Persian Sassanids. It was based on the premise that the Persian Sassanids were not a weak country. This attitude made Aldashir very useful and even proud.

"We have the strength to have an equal dialogue with the Han Empire." In fact, Aldashir doesn't know much about the current Han country, but more about the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, especially the Western Han who defeated the powerful Huns and fled. : "The Han Empire obviously knows this too."

Egutai Bachram was looking at the scenery beyond the carriage. They have left Jiankang City and are now arriving at the border of Liang County.

As the largest city in the world today, Jiankang City has impressed the envoys of various countries very deeply. All kinds of things from the Eastern civilization can surprise them. They have seen the architecture of the Eastern civilization and saw how the Han people live. The deep one is about the road.

During the small imperial period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the capital of Jiankang as a small imperial court had traffic connecting various places. The road was originally relatively wide, but it was later incorporated into the territory of the Han Kingdom and was transformed into the left and right lanes. The envoys of various countries saw a neat and tidy road. The road is wide and full of order.

It can be said that in the current countries of the world, there are not many roads on the left and right. Basically, people who have to go to different directions on the same road are walking together. When there are few people, it is fine, but when there are many people, it is very easy to crowd each other.

Han Guo has long implemented the left and right branches, and the one-way one-way street allows people who have never seen it to see the benefits at a glance, and the sense of order can be seen in an instant. To be honest, roads have order and no order are two very different situations.

"I don't know how many and how long similar roads are." Egutai Bachram said of the roads at the national highway level: "After driving for so long, I didn't even feel a bump. I can imagine how the road is. smooth."

Aldashir had to recall that Persian Sassan naturally has wide roads, but there are no left and right side lanes. It is impossible to have a long road if the road is flat.

The national road they walked on was rebuilt on the original road. According to the specifications, the total width of the national road is 16 meters, and the left and right sides are 8 meters wide. There is a separation road in the middle and guardrails on both sides. See, even Rome, which is famous for its convenient transportation, is not there.

They are not ordinary people, who don’t know what a country’s transportation means. The higher the status, the more knowledgeable people, the more able to judge a country’s strength and local control from the country’s transportation.

After entering Liang County, some people who understand were relieved and raised their hearts. That was because the road extending from Jiankang to Liang County ended, but Liang County saw the use of huge manpower and resources. Material resources are building roads.

"All roads lead to Rome. The convenient transportation not only guarantees the Romans' control over the provinces, but also expands the territory." Egutai Bachram has personally visited the territory of Rome, right. The traffic in Rome has an extremely deep impression: "Compared with Rome, our traffic is far inferior, so that the provinces will continue to rebel."

"I just learned that the Han Empire is going to build a national road that is tens of thousands of miles long." Aldashir got the news from the officials of Hongruguan: "It's the kind of national road we walked when we came out of Jiankang City."

"What a courageous country!" What Egutai Bahram knows is that the successive kings of the Sassanids of Persia also had similar ideas, but due to their national strength and the surrounding environment, they have not been able to act: "Maybe... we The most important thing to do after returning is to suggest that your Majesty turn your plan into action."

Aldashir smiled bitterly. The reason why the kings of Persian Sassanid generations had ideas and did not act was not only because of national strength and surrounding environment, but mainly because the nobles of various provinces rejected them.

In fact, everyone knows that the central government’s control over the localities will be strengthened after convenient transportation. It is precisely because of this that the local authorities will reject them. What they want is that the central government has weak control over the localities in order to give them more convenience. , Such as developing their own family strength.

Whether in the Parthian period or the Sassanid period, the Persian central government has never had too much control and binding power over the localities.

In the Parthian period, in addition to the central royal family, there were six great nobles. Later, it was said that the Romans were tyrannical enough to destroy Parthia. It is better to say that the central part of the Parthia conflicted with the six great nobles to the total breaking point. To make Vologassis V's Breaking Pot Breaking, he would have to finish playing with the six nobles, and it was really finished, but what I didn't expect was that the Aldashir family who trusted to rebel would rebel.

By the time the Aldashir family became the royal family of the Persians, the first king Aldashir I and the second king Shapur I were working to eliminate the remnants of the six nobles, but more often they had to compromise. Next, the six great nobles may be dead and weak, but there will always be new nobles. The Persian political system is like that. As a result, although the Sassanid dynasty is not as miserable as Parthia, it can be said to be right. Control is not much better.

"Even in Rome, where traffic is extremely developed, Rome (referring to the capital) cannot fully control the provinces, and the facts have proved that the traffic that comes is not a panacea, otherwise there will be no military chaos (officers). . "Aldahir is no stranger to Rome, and should even be said to know better than his own country, or he can know his enemies without knowing himself. He pointed to the huge group of people who were working, and said: "I heard that the reunification of the Han Empire was only in recent years. Their emperor only ended large-scale external wars last year. However, there are still many local wars. Daxing Project."

Of course, Liu Yan has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, but he would not use the title of king outside, but the title of emperor.

The news about the outbreak of a large-scale drought has not been disclosed. Only a very small number of people know it. It is worried that the news of the outbreak of drought will cause turmoil. The center is to take a step-by-step approach to first centralized management of the people, and wait for sufficient control to be established. Strength and order will detonate the news.

After the centralized management of the people is completed, a salary that will not starve to death will be given, and the announcement of the imminent drought will cause the people to panic and unite on the side of the country, so that ambitious people will not have more to hold the victims. Chance. Therefore, the order in which the news is disclosed is also a university question.

The first group of envoys, including the Persian Sassanids, didn’t stop until Shouchun. The counties along the way they passed saw a large number of people being concentrated to work. They were very concerned about the orderly and clear division of labor. Extremely amazed, extremely surprised by Han's organizational ability.

"It can be seen that although it has only been eight years for the Han people to rehabilitate again, they (the people) are very obedient to the ruling class." Egutai Bachram was a sensible person, saying: "Only those who love the ruler will be happy to be Driven, and only trusting rulers will be willing to accept assignments, which proves that the current Han emperors are supported."

Of course Aldahir knew this truth, and he also had his own opinion: "It also proves that the Han Empire has an efficient administrative system."

In fact, starting a national-level project is not so simple. It is not that there are enough human and material resources to start a national-level project. It also involves vital organizational capabilities. Many countries clearly have sufficient human and material resources but cannot start national projects because of insufficient organizational capabilities. Organizational capabilities are not a problem at all in the Central Plains dynasties in the past, and it can even be said that they have sufficient experience.

"The Romans are here." Aldahir learned the news only the second day after Shouchun stopped. While his mood became gloomy, he didn't care about going to the Han State to express more emotion: "They have already started to build. Kang set out. The reason we stopped was to wait for the missions of countries including Rome."

If the Han and the Huns are mortal enemies that will never die, then the Persians and Romans are also mortal enemies that must be eliminated. Before Aldashir's envoy, he had inquired about Rome and sent envoys to Han, and even the Persian Sassanian navy was ordered to intercept, but the Romans came after all.

Although the current Rome has been governed by the four emperors, it has not yet formed a real division. It just has the concept of the west and the east. The division into Western Rome and Eastern Rome occurred in AD 395.

After Rome went through the turmoil of military officials, the country fell into a period of weakness due to long-term turbulence, but it stabilized during the Illyrian dynasty. Governance" era.

Rome’s second “four emperors ruled together” ended in the hands of Constantine, but it took fourteen years of civil war to re-unify, and Constantine became the only Augustus in Rome.

Today’s Roman Augustus is Constantius. His path to Augustus is full of Roman characteristics, that is, he must decide the victory or defeat with his brother to sit on the throne of Augustus. The problem is that the area that Augustus can really control is the Eastern Rome after the split, and the Western Rome of the Europa part is under the autonomy of each family.

In the re-confrontation between Rome and Persian Sassan, it was actually the eastern part of Rome that was fighting against the complete Persian Sassanian. Even so, it could still keep the Persian Sassan from rubbing on the ground for a long time. The reason was that the Persian Sassanian ruled. The Arabs and the remnants of Guishuang will break out major rebellions from time to time. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com and the nomads in the northeast often invade.

"The Han Empire knows that we are at war with Rome, why would we stop and wait for the Romans?" Aldahir felt that he was not respected, and said angrily: "We have shown enough sincerity!"

Not only did Aldashir be angry with the Persians, he also found Yuan Qiao to express his dissatisfaction.

"The official receiving you personally is the greatest sincerity." Yuan Qiao expressed his dissatisfaction with Aldashir in an inexplicable mood: "The official is the servant of the big man, and the only one who goes to receive Rome and other countries is just a general manager."

Aldahir did not understand the official position of the Han country at all. When he heard that Yuan Qiao who received him was a higher official position than the Han official who received Rome, he suddenly felt much better.

"The people of Xindu are friends of the Romans, and you have entered a state of war with the people of Xindu..." Egutai Bachram said in a bewildered tone: "The friend of the enemy is also the enemy, and the enemy of the enemy is the friend. , Isn't it?"

Yuan Qiao laughed immediately after listening to the translation. Persian Sassan and Gidoruo were actually enemies, but before the Persian Sassan came to Gidoruo, it was so simple whether it was an enemy or friend between the countries.

Aldahir said: "We have a long-standing friendship with the Han Empire, and we will also be natural allies in need. You don't need to receive the Romans at all. You should expel them from the country."

Yuan Qiao's face turned dark immediately, and he said very displeased: "The big man doesn't need anyone to teach how to do it."

Aldashir wanted to continue to say something, but Egutai Bachram, who was standing on the side, hurriedly pulled to stop it without any influence, but Yuan Qiao walked away. rw more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
