Sweep the World

Chapter 690: : Terrible country

If the envoys of various countries saw prosperity in Jiankang, and saw energetic labor before arriving in Chang'an from Jiankang, and after the war, what they saw in Chang'an really did not look like a prosperous one. The capital that the empire should have.

The old Chang'an city was repaired during the pre-Zhao and Liuyao period. It should be said that the city wall was still very majestic. But it is not the slaves of the Huns that the Jie tribe rebelled. The Di and Qiang tribes also took turns. The old Chang'an city was actually repeated After the test of war, the majestic city wall was repeatedly damaged in repeated wars. After waiting for the Jie clan to sit on the Central Plains, the capital will be in Xiangguo, and the old Chang'an city has not been repaired at all.

Today’s old Chang’an City is not only cracked everywhere in the city wall, but also the buildings in the city have ten to four or five. Those that have not collapsed are not much better. It is either overgrown with weeds or very badly damaged, giving people the impression that Completely dilapidated.

Liu Yan wants to set the capital in Guanzhong. Considering that the new Chang'an city cannot be built in a short time, the official government has cleaned up the old Chang'an city. The main target of the repair is the Miyagi, but how short is a dilapidated city? It can be recovered within time, and after the new Chang'an City is built, the old Chang'an City will be leveled. It really didn't take much effort to repair it.

The government cleaned up the old Chang'an city to a certain extent. The roads were one of the objects to be cleaned, and then some areas were levelled. The army set up villages in the cleared areas. As a result, the old Chang'an city became a large barracks lined with tents.

The rest places for the envoys of various countries arranged by the Han country are relatively well-kept houses in the city, which are still relatively humanely isolated. For example, the Persian Sassanian and Roman rivals are arranged far away.

"The most powerful empire ever made by the Han people is to use this city as its capital?" Kiyanus Alta Aldahir was agreed to go up to a tower. Looking at the entire city from a height, it was possible to find that the city was still very large: "Although what you see is a piece of ruins, you can imagine that once this city must have been glorious."

To be honest, the old Chang'an City is really very big. If there is not enough height, there will be no end at a glance. If you count the suburban manor, it will look even bigger.

"The Han people are building a new city there." Egutaibahram pointed to the south, and only some vague outlines could be seen too far away: "I heard that more than 1.5 million labor was used?"

In the new Chang'an construction plan, the new Chang'an City will no longer build a city wall, but will divide each "square" by road planning. The new city is at the southeast end of the old city, still in the middle zone between Fengshui and Bashui, but it is closer to Bashui.

The location of the new Chang'an City was actually Chang'an during the Li and Tang Dynasties. Only when the place is changed will there be Bashui Zheliu to send friends off. If there is no change of place, it can only be the gate of the city to send friends off. Therefore, there was no Bashui Zhe before Li Tang. Records of Liu Sending Friends.

This time, the plan for the new Chang'an City directly erased Du County, and even the Lantian was partially covered. During the Li and Tang Dynasties, it also expanded to the south repeatedly, getting closer and closer to the Qinling Mountains.

"One and a half million?!" Kiyanus Alta Aldahir almost peeed: "We came from the south, and the labor force we saw along the way was at least two million! The Han Empire actually used it in the same year. A labor force of 3.5 million? It's terrible!"

In fact, it is far more than 3.5 million. After the end of spring ploughing, it is time to requisition corvee. In addition to normal corvee, there are paid employment. The population participating in the large-scale construction exceeds 6 million, and most of them are concentrated in Jiankang. In Guanzhong's national highway construction, 1.5 million was used to build the new Chang'an City, and the rest were scattered everywhere.

The eight years of Yuanshuo are getting closer and closer to the occurrence of drought, and even in some areas, droughts have broken out. The government has not watched the disasters cause serious consequences. It has taken major projects to consolidate the population, especially in areas where disasters have occurred. Do your best.

The envoys of various countries did not know that Han was facing large-scale natural disasters. The large-scale project was launched to achieve the purpose of working for work. They would only be shocked by the fact that Han was able to organize millions of people to work and marvel at the organization of Han. Ability, surprised why the Han people would cooperate extremely with the government.

"Not to mention the organization of 3.5 million people to work, we will even have a mess of 100,000 people working together." Egutai Bachram knew exactly what Kianush Alta Aldahir was shocked, and said with a wry smile: "The last time we built the road from Taixi to Iraq, only 80,000 people could break out a riot."

What Eguthebakhram was talking about was seven years ago. At that time, the Persian Sassanian was planning to attack the eastern provinces of Rome again. In order to achieve rapid troop deployment and subsequent shipping speed, a considerable number of Arabs, Jews, and Jews were recruited. The Egyptians and African blacks, as a result, the Arabs fought against the Jews before the roads began to be repaired.

How come there are so many ethnic groups in the Sassanid dynasty? In fact, since the Parthian period, they have conquered a considerable number of countries and nations, and some have been persecuted by other countries and immigrated in the past. For example, Jews who migrated all over the world for a long time belonged to autonomous immigrants.

The Jews and the Arabs are at odds with each other a long time ago. It happened after the "Jewish War" between AD 66 and 70. The background was that the Jews rebelled against the Roman rule and used the Roman army to capture Jerusalem as a war. After that, the Jews began to flee all over the world. They were divided into many branches to find their own way out, mainly fleeing to the non-Roman ruled area, a considerable part of them fled to Nabatean at that time, and more fled to the Parthian Empire and the Kingdom of Armenia.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the Jews still do not have their own homeland. The ethnic groups are more scattered than hundreds of years ago. Except for the Jews who became slaves and were taken to Europa, a considerable number of Jews migrated to Europa on their own, but the number of Jews The largest number is still in the Middle East, with the largest number of Jews in Iraq and Syria.

To be serious, the Arabs and Jews who do not have their own country actually have the same disease, but the two sides did not sympathize with each other because of the same misery. On the contrary, the relationship is very bad. The reason is actually quite simple, but it cannot be described in depth.

"Let the accompanying people open their eyes and use their heads!" Kiyanus Alta Aldahir took a deep breath: "Talk to the Han Chinese? If you can get permission, you must learn their management knowledge."

Egutaibakhram nodded immediately. There is no shortage of countries with tens of millions of people in the world, but there are really not many countries that can organize millions of people to work together. What he knows is that there are only two countries so far. , That is (ancient) Egypt that has perished and cannot rise up, and the other is the Han civilization that has been reborn again and again. No other country can do it. Whether it is Rome or them, it is clear that there is no shortage of manpower and material resources, but it is true. Just can't do it.

In another location, the group of Romans was allowed to enter the construction site directly.

The scope of the New Great Wall is very large. It is divided into various areas and constructed in stages. The place where Oulus Sykestus Cicero took the people is an area where the land is being cleared and leveled. What you see is a clear division of labor. There are people shoveling dirt, some loading dirt, and some people transporting it out, but there are too many people to see chaos. On the contrary, it is orderly.

"Only slaves need supervision, and Seris people can work hard without supervision." Oulus Sykestus Cicero is not only looking at how big the construction site is, but also observing how to ensure the order: "They I seem to know what I should do, and I don’t need someone to urge it?"

In fact, both the slaves and the common people are supervising them, but the sergeant who supervises the slaves is too obvious. After the people are divided into groups, there are their own team leaders, and above the team leaders there are team leaders. Both the team leader and the team leader participate in the work personally, but they can urge and assign what the same team should do.

The discipline of the Han people does not appear overnight. It is Liu Yan who will register the population every time it is restored. The area will also be under military control for a period of time. It is inevitable that there will be a set of militarized management and its own civilization. The corvee system, plus each county has its own military training in summer and winter, and discipline is established bit by bit.

If summed up in terms, to put it plainly, Han is now in the stage of military, 1 country, 1 initiative, including administrative construction and related military training systems, everything is paving the way for outward expansion.

When they are far away, they feel that the Han people are very orderly. After close observation, as long as they have a military career, they don't need to pay too much attention to observation, they can perceive that they are very disciplined in the military.

"Jupiter is on!" Oulus Sykestus Cicero would not be able to sign a cross, nor would he call **** or God when he was shocked, but the main **** of the original Roman faith: "That is Said that as long as the emperor Sirius wants to, he can have an army of millions of people with discipline at any time!"

What I want to say is that, in fact, the Romans have always been polytheistic, 1 religion, and the main **** is indeed Jupiter, but there are many gods. After they conquered a place, they would incorporate the conquered object gods into their own religious system.

Then, because Constantine the Great (reigned from 272 to 327 AD) joined the 1st Dove Church, so Rome actually no longer rejects the 1st Dodger Church, but still exists and worships other gods. .

The Romans with tens of millions of armies didn’t care. Historically, the Central Asian empire organized hundreds of thousands or even close to a million people to invade Europa. Rome itself was far less than the Parthian army. The number of people has achieved a real final victory, so I really don’t care so much about the number of an army.

What Oulus Sykestus Cicero cares about is the discipline displayed by the Han people. Whether an army has discipline or not is the basis. Only a disciplined army can be called an army, or it is simply a mob. Since he came into contact with Han, he has been making comparisons in his heart. He believes that the Han army he came into contact with in the Pingman Captain's Department is equivalent to his country’s regular army. He has learned that Han has 13 standing legions and a very elite army Of the Janissaries.

The standing army of Han and the imperial guard is about 250,000 people, but they are not counted as county soldiers and servants.

Rome had fifty-six legions when it was at its most prosperous in the year AD. Each legion had 6,000 personnel and a total force of 3336,000. Four of them are located in Africa, nearly 30 are located in the Rhine and Danube, Romania (anti-Germanic and Slavic), about ten are located in the Euphrates and Syria (anti-Persia), and one regiment is based in Rome. (Capital City), and a few are in England.

At that time, Rome had fifty-six legions, but in fact they were not of the same quality. Only twenty field legions could be pulled out for field battles, and the rest were quite defensive regiments.

The Roman Mephathias used twenty legions and recruited the conquered barbarians to form eight legions. The barbarian legions organized by Rome were very irregular. For example, when the number of the Teutonic legions was the largest, it exceeded 30,000, and the lesser barbarian legions only had three to five thousand.

"Terrible!" Marius Ugli was excited: "Because of this, we must fight for Seris to become our ally!"

"Yes! Yes! Must fight!" Oulus Sykestus Cicero was extremely excited at first, but then said distressedly: "But... our request to meet with the emperor Seris was repeatedly refused, even talking. There is no chance."

Marius Ugli said: "The emperor Serris did not meet the Persians~www.wuxiamtl.com~Our opportunities are the same, and our advantage is even greater."

"The Serris don’t know anything about Rome. The most important thing for us is to let them know how Rome exists." Oulus Sykestus Cicero paused and added: "Especially The fact that we once perished Parthia."

Not to mention that the Han country knew nothing about Rome. In fact, Rome also knew very little about the current Han country. Only the group of people who came in personally had seen it with their own eyes and realized that the country had a huge army of troops. envious.

In the following period of time, the envoys of various countries still did not receive interviews from Liu Yan, but Lu Yi met with the envoys of various countries successively, and still did not respond to the temptation to form an alliance between Rome and Sassan, and all talked about business.

It originated from the fact that they did not know how the Han country should transport the purchased grain back. The envoys of various countries felt that even the Han country would not buy too much grain. Except for the officially agreed grain transaction, they all agreed to the Han people to enter the country to purchase grain. Correspondingly, China accepts trade requests from various countries.

Later, Oulus Sykestus Cicero learned that the group of Persians had determined the time to meet Liu Yan, and he was anxious to see Lu Yi frequently, eager to know when he could see Liu Yan.
