Sweep the World

"interesting……"

The envoys of various countries have arrived in Guanzhong and were arranged in Chang'an City. Liu Yan listened to some reports from Yuan Qiao. Yuan Qiao mentioned that the Persians talked about the Huns, which was really interesting.

Every nation will have some mortal enemies. Was it the hatred accumulated after years of war, or was it because the war brought incomparable grief to every family. From the Western Han Dynasty, the mortal enemy of the Han people was the Xiongnu, and the Huns were split into the North and the South. Department.

The Southern Huns became a captive dog. This dog was never obedient. Even when the Han Dynasty was strong, he would go south to hit the grass valley, waiting for the Han army to send a large army to come and be grandsons. It repeated hundreds of years and waited. The division of the Han family went to the Sima clan to usurp the throne of Cao Wei, shouting revenge for the Han clan and destroying the Western Jin Dynasty.

It must be said that Liu Yuan’s slogans were still recognized by a considerable number of Han people, especially the people who could not stand the rule of the Sima clan responded. Those Hu people of all ethnic groups who were moved to the hinterland by the Jin Dynasty also took the opportunity to get up and ended. The Jin clan’s rule of the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains also became inferior to the wild beasts after the war.

The Northern Huns were the real enemies of the Han people. They didn’t go far when they flew away, and they would invade the Han family from time to time. Later, they once robbed the Han family for control of the Western Regions. The Han-Hungarians had the most fierce battle in the end. It was in the Western Regions that Chen Tang used a small number of Han troops to conscript the servants of the Western Regions and defeated the Northern Huns. Far away will be punishable", the remnants of the Northern Huns dared not stay near the Han family territory, it is considered to be far away in the true sense.

"They are talking about the Hungarians, on the west side of the Caspian Sea, they are currently fighting with the Alans."

Understandably, how can a nation add the word "slave" to its name? The name of the Huns has always been the name of the Central Plains dynasty. In fact, they really call themselves the Huns and their country is the country of the big bear.

Alan was named Amcai in the records of the Central Plains dynasty. It is roughly located in the Don River Basin of Russia today, north of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, and east of the Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Azov (called Daze in ancient Chinese books). It is divided into east and west by the Don River. The east is dominated by yellow people, and the west is dominated by white people, who have lived a nomadic life for a long time. Although they are of different races, the people of the Don River Basin have long formed a national identity, and they all call themselves Alan people, thus forming a unified country.

The official name of the country established by the Alan people is the Alan country, the Western countries are called the Alana country, and the Central Asian countries will be called Alanchao. They were founded in the first century AD, and they often harassed the northern part of the Parthian Empire and the Caucasus provinces of the Roman Empire.

The current Northern Huns are indeed on the west side of the Caspian Sea. In the early days, they first defeated and annexed the Dayi people (Dahe people), and cultivated their lives in the habitat of the Dayi people.

According to legend, the Dayi people are the predecessors of the Parthians. They are actually the branches of the same ethnic group after the split. For example, it is said that the nomadic peoples on the grasslands and the farming peoples of the Central Plains are all descendants of Zhuxia. Another example is that there are mature women in the northeast. Zhen and Jurchen, similar phenomena are very common.

The Northern Huns continued to migrate westward and the first ethnic group they encountered was Huancai. What must be explained is that the "Amcai Kingdom" in the records of the Central Plains Dynasty is the tribe of the Amcai people, so the Alan and Amcai people are actually two different things. In view of the fact that the Central Plains Dynasty always does not understand the difference between different races, It doesn't seem unusual to remember it wrong.

The Amcai people were quickly defeated by the Northern Huns who were moving westward, and the next unlucky target became the Alba.

Western historians regard the Alvars as Rourans, that is, the Rouran tribal alliance in Outer Mongolia during the Five Husbands China. Although both sides are white, they are actually not of the same race.

The Northern Huns defeated the Amcai, Alva, Laga, and Miaoites on the west bank of the Caspian Sea before they really hit the Alans. In the early days, the Northern Huns were full of lessons when they encountered the Alans. In the first stage, the Alan country fought the Parthian Empire and kicked the Roman Empire. It faced the Northern Huns, who were also nomads. Especially the Northern Huns were in the fleeing stage. Naturally, the Alan people were able to teach the Northern Huns how to behave.

"So, the Northern Huns are now blocked by the Alans on the west bank of the Caspian Sea?" Liu Yan didn't know about this period of history, and asked, "Do you know what the current Xiongnu is called?"

Yuan Qiao was dumb when asked.

The North Huns today are actually a bit chaotic. There are leaders but they are not alone. The defeat to the Alans also caused a split. One part retreated to the north shore of the Caspian Sea, and the other part remained to continue to entangle with the Alan people. There is no overall single Yu.

In the decades to come, the Northern Huns split and split again. They had to wait for the short-term unity of the tribes in 350 AD. They once again competed with the Alan people and won. This time the war finally made the Northern Huns once again have a big deal recognized by various ministries, he is Balambar.

Balambar launched another war in AD 374, but this time the target was changed to the Ostrogoths. The Northern Huns defeated the Eastern Goths very easily, causing the Northern Huns to occupy the Don region and forcing the Eastern Goths to defect to the Visigoths.

After that, Barrambur continued to conquer the Visigoths, and the two armies broke out in the Transnistria area, which brought a miracle to Ouroma. The Goths, including the Goths, scrambled to the west. Fleeing, they swarmed into the Danube region, which had a serious impact on the Roman Empire at that time. The Romans were forced to accept the asylum request of the fugitive barbarians, but these barbarians did not thank the Romans and disrupted the Europa part of the Roman Empire. It created conditions for the Northern Huns to invade the Roman Empire in the future.

"The Persians want to use this news in exchange for the big men to form an alliance with them?" Liu Yan is not a man of this era after all. He does not have such a deep hatred for the Northern Huns. He needs opinions from his subjects: "What do you think?"

"The Persians seem to know the big man very well..." Of course, Ji Chang would be the first speaker after being asked, "They know that there can only be one between us and the Northern Huns. Now that they know what the Northern Huns are doing, if they do nothing. ……inappropriate."

Various civil and military officials successively expressed their opinions, unanimously thinking that something should be done. If they knew the existence of the Northern Huns and didn't take any action, it seemed that they would face their ancestors after their death.

Liu Yan felt a little pain in his brain for an instant. The Han army was re-entering the Western Regions, but at present it stopped at Shanshan. It was tens of thousands of miles away from the west bank of the Caspian Sea.

"The minister looked at the map. The northern side of the Sassanids was the western side of the Caspian Sea where the Northern Huns inhabited. Rome and the Northern Huns lived across the sea." Ji Chang obviously also knew that the current Han country could not handle the Northern Huns. In the correct position of politics and governance, one cannot do nothing, just say: "Both countries can do something against the Northern Huns."

Rome is making Oulus Sykestus Cicero and Persian Sassan is making Chianus Alta Aldahir have expressed their willingness to form an alliance. The Han country is basically when they are joking and did not explicitly refuse. At the same time, he did not give any reply.

Liu Yan has a very indifferent attitude towards alliances with other countries. It is normal for countries to form alliances based on circumstances because of needs. Today, Han and Rouran have entered the stage of military alliances. Han needs Rouran to take action against Xi Gaoche, Dong Gaoche, Murong Remnant, and Tuoba Remnant. Waiting for the destruction of the above-mentioned countries or there is no threat, Han would not hesitate to destroy Rouran.

Liu Yan thinks and does things in the thinking of modern people, while the important ministers of the Han country are authentic Han thoughts. They don’t think anyone is qualified to be their ally. Other countries can only exist as younger brothers, and the boss will be behind. It is not shameless to destroy the younger brother. On the contrary, it is the just cause of leading the younger brother to live a happy life. The younger brother should be grateful instead of resentful.

"So..." Xu Zheng stood up and concluded: "Whether it is Sassanian or Roman, whoever is willing to take action against the Northern Huns is qualified to be our ally."

Ji Chang nodded, and then continued the topic: "The minister thought that it didn't matter who the big man aligns with, but the trade request of various countries is a major issue."

To be honest, they really don’t care who they are allied with. After the alliance, it does not mean that Han needs to participate in unnecessary wars. It is equivalent to the allies doing or not doing anything but requesting but difficult to interfere, and the allies should not ask for it. What Han must do.

Liu Yan suddenly felt that he still belonged to the scope of noble people, and compared with a group of ministers, he was simply honest and reliable. He originally wanted to do something against the Northern Huns. The Persian Sassanian or Rome really did something against the Northern Huns. After the formal alliance, they would cooperate with the partners of the alliance on some matters, but the ministers only needed benefits.

Later, Liu Yan thought and thought again, as if he couldn’t do that. If you really form an alliance with Persian Sassanian or Rome, at least some of the ally obligations that should be carried out during the alliance phase must be done, and the alliance must be taken back. Not to mention some petty gains to damage the country’s credibility.

It is very clear that Liu Yan appeared, which changed the historical process of the Central Plains, and also allowed Han to join the game of the world island. As one of the world’s great powers, of course the shamelessness cannot take care of the face, but the country’s credit needs to be guaranteed. You can't just look at the loss when it is.

The Han country that has joined the World Island game must show its responsibilities as a big country in the world. Maintaining good credit is beneficial but not harmful to the subsequent game, especially for Persian Sassan and Rome, which are also big countries in the world, need to maintain good credit. , This is far more important than just taking advantage of one or two times!

"You need to be cautious about the alliance." Liu Yan brought back the attention of the ministers who were talking about trade, and said very solemnly: "The princes, the great people are far in the east of the world, but they can intervene in wars in distant places by sea, whether it is Persia. Sassan, Ang, or Rome are actually within the attackable range of the big man."

The Han army is already invading the Gupta dynasty. Since it is possible to enter the Asanyang and then into the Arabian Sea of ​​later generations, it is to find the leading party. It is equivalent to being able to land on the Persian Sassanids, or from the Gulf of Aden into the Red Sea and land under Roman rule. In Egypt, it is not clear whether the Suez Canal exists or not.

It's hard to say nonsense that the Suez Canal currently exists, but it connects the Red Sea and the Nile River.

The Suez Canal was originally dug in the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt, that is, the Egyptian dynasty from 2000 BC to 1786 BC. The project was initiated by Pharaoh Sinuselte III ( , Its name is the source of the word "Suez"). It lasted until the time of Ramses II in the thirteenth century BC, and then the canal was abandoned, and then rebuilt during the time of Ptolemy II (250 BC), until 640 AD. Also used.

The current Romans have been using the Suez Canal to exit the Mediterranean. Some caravans of the Gupta Dynasty did not stop after arriving in Egypt. They entered the Nile via the Suez Canal, and then entered the Mediterranean via the Nile. When they arrived in the Mediterranean, they could choose to land at will. Rome area.

Of course, no one in Han knew that much. Even Liu Yan thought that the Suez Canal would not be completed until the end of the eighteenth century. He didn't even know that the Egyptians had done it as early as 2000 BC. A big event.

Liu Yan said that the alliance should be prudent. Several important officials did not go around the corner at first, and it was not easy to ask Liu Yan directly, but they had to think hard.

Regarding the country’s credibility, the ancients were not without relevant concepts~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It’s just that the Central Plains dynasty has been "unity" for a long time, and there is no country with the same strength in the surrounding area for a long time. Even if it has, it is an enemy. Existence, diplomacy is actually lacklustre.

Liu Yan could see that they really didn't understand what was going on, and it was a matter of training and restoring for a period of time after the Han country could really intervene in Asia and even Europa, and took the initiative to pull the topic into trade.

"Although it is difficult to understand, any country is very eager for silk. Not only did they buy out silk from the market at Jiankang, they also left pre-purchase agreements with the merchants, and even discussed with the government about large-scale purchases." Lu Yi really didn't know. Why are those crooked nuts so obsessed with silk, thinking that crooked nuts are a hit product, and said: "The minister thinks that silk sales should be controlled and not sold on a large scale."

However, Liu Yan understood what Lu Yi wanted to say, not that it could not be sold, but that it was based on the truth that things are rare and expensive. Selling a small amount of silk guarantees the price of silk, but it cannot be sold as cheap as Chinese cabbage.

"Countries are eager for the goods of the big man, but they are not able to get the goods. The big man's demand for gold is not urgent..." Lu Yi did not lie, and the Han country has to carry out the three rounds of gold, silver and copper. Currency reform, but the Wa Islands controlled by the Han State have stable and huge amounts of gold and silver to mine: "Our most urgent need is food, which can be purchased from various countries through trade!"
