Sweep the World

From 334 BC to 324 BC, King Alexander of Macedonia launched an Eastern Expedition. He led an army to conquer Persia, Egypt, Asia Minor, and Mesopotamia, and finally built a land across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Alexandria Empire.

After Alexander died of illness, the huge empire spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa collapsed in a very short time. The influence of the continents has not ended. Let’s not mention the influence of Europa and Africa. The subsequent influence on Asia is that many Greeks have established their own kingdoms. The two largest of them are the Seleucid Empire and the Greek-Bactry. Sub-kingdom.

Around 1500 BC, the Seleucid Empire collapsed, and the Persian Kingdom of Parthia began to rise. It originated from the collapse of the Seleucid Empire and had a great impact on places further east, such as Greece-Bactry. After the Asian kingdom was impacted, it lost part of its eastern territories but was compensated in the west. Some Greeks went to the Asan territory to jointly establish the Indo-Greek kingdom with the local indigenous people.

By about 100 BC, the Sisakya people in Central Asia had risen tyrannically. They punched the Parthians and kicked the union of the Central Asian Greeks and other tribes, and once expanded their territory to the west. The Tigri River (approximately the Persian Gulf) extends north to the Indian Desert.

During that long period of time, the influence of Alexander’s Eastern Expedition to Asia was cleared out in the chaos of various races. At the same time, the Dayue people, who were driven west by the Huns from the north of the Central Plains, also rose upright. Waiting for the Parthian Empire to accumulate enough strength to advance eastward, the Dayue people have already established a vast Kushuang Empire in the east.

Speaking of it, Parthia was shocked when she suddenly discovered that she had a huge Kushan Empire in the east. What is more, after a series of expansions, both parties were a little bit overwhelmed. They shook hands in a friendly manner. I don’t know. Whoever proposed it first, the two brothers joined forces to dismember a kingdom called Sulun.

By the way, the country called Suron is actually a vassal of the Parthian Empire, a kingdom established by a group of Persian Serbs. Although they are nominally part of the vassal of the Parthian Empire, they are The empire is basically a bird, so it was divided up by the Parthian Empire as the starting point for establishing friendship with the Guishuang Empire.

It was almost when the Guishuang Empire rose up in Central Asia and strongly invaded South Asia, the influence left by the Greeks was cleaned up, and then there will be no Hellenized countries in Asia.

The Guishuang Empire flourished for more than a hundred years, and it was not until the year 2030 AD that it became weak. After the death of Vesudeva II, it was divided into several countries, but the Dayue people were the ruling class of Guishuang. The Frost Empire has been in prosperity for at least nearly two hundred years, and its influence on Central and South Asia is profound.

The huge and prosperous Kushan Empire is of course invisible. At present, there is only one Gidorian dynasty struggling in the transfer area between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. Although they have fallen down, they still represent the orthodoxy of the Guishuang Empire. For many countries And the tribe still has a strong influence.

In addition, the Persian Sassanids are also the hegemony of Central Asia no matter what, they have a strong deterrent power against the Jitoro dynasty, and they can influence the national policy of the Jitoro dynasty to some extent, including letting the Jidoro dynasty not The Guishuang people who dared to support the rebellion in the Persian Sassanids could also force the Jedala dynasty to exert influence on some countries around the Gupta dynasty.

The former Alexander’s Eastern Expedition has affected Asia for hundreds of years. How can the Dayue people maintain their influence for decades even if they are useless?

Influence is such a thing as a favor. If others ignore it, they won’t use it at all. But isn’t there still Persian Sassanian, a Central Asian hegemony? With the deterrence of the Persian Sassanids, coupled with the influence of the Gidoro dynasty, Kianus Alta Aldahir firmly believes that it can still isolate the Gupta dynasty to the greatest extent.

Lu Yi had doubts about Kianush Alta Aldahir who had been prepared for a long time, and he firmly believed that there were no benefits for no reason in the world.

If according to some of the statements and suggestions of Kianusz Alta Aldashir, the Persian Sassan has a strategy at all, and it is definitely not like a temporary plan that can be planned by a sudden brainstorm. Shan's intentions began to be vigilant.

Kianus Alta Aldahir did not see the changes in Lu Yi. After talking about the influence of the Gupta dynasty, he could use the influence of the Gupta dynasty to isolate the Gupta dynasty. Later, he talked about two satraps. He thinks that it is a wise thing to bring two Satrapuras into the alliance against the Gupta dynasty. They can make the two Satrapuras attack the Gupta dynasty from the northwest, which will largely involve the forces of the Gupta dynasty, and then the Han army. With the Persian army, it was possible to land from the southern coast of the Gupta dynasty.

"The two countries originally had territorial disputes. Although they have not fought large-scale wars, their relations with each other are not friendly." Kianusz Alta Aldahir was completely reasonable and continued. Said: "How much land the Han Empire wants to occupy can be fought from the south. I believe that the fighting power of the Han army will not allow the Serbs to acquire much land."

"The division of land depends on how much each can occupy?" Lu Yi is of course interested in increasing the territory of the Han Kingdom. Regarding the division of land, he is never sloppy. Then he asked: "What about your country?"

Kianusz Alta Aldashir waved his hands and said with great enthusiasm: "We will not occupy even an inch of land. The area we lay down can be handed over to the Han Empire."

Lu Yi was more vigilant because of the selfless dedication of Kianush Alta Aldahir, and looked at Kiyanush Alta Aldahir with weird eyes.

"We are not without any pursuit. In addition to proving that the Han Empire has formed an alliance with us is completely correct, as a replacement of the land, the Han Empire can compensate in other ways." Kiyanush Alta Aldahir smiled heartily. After a short while, he proposed the so-called compensation: "We desperately need silk. If the area we lay down is large enough, will the Han Empire teach us how to make silk?"

Regarding Central Asia and even Europa’s desperate desire for silk, Lu Yi has already fully understood, but for the time being, he has not understood why they are so obsessed with silk.

For a long period of time in history, the Central Plains Dynasty believed that the reason why Central Asia and Europa were so obsessed with silk was because of the beauty of silk, but actually did not know that after silk passed through Central Asia, it was sold to Europe with the same weight of gold. The price is even several times the price of gold.

Of course, clothing made of silk is comfortable to wear and a symbol of face, but there are other reasons why silk is so expensive, in addition to long-term tolls by Central Asian countries, but also because silk can prevent arrows!

Regarding silk, it can effectively reduce the damage of arrows. It is even easier to take out the arrowheads after wearing multiple layers of silk, without tearing the flesh.

The Central Plains dynasty did not know the knowledge that silk has anti-arrow effects. What they did not expect was that the reason why Central Asia and Europa were so obsessed with silk was because silk could save their lives. Central Asia and Europa knew that wearing silk was to add layers of defense. Arrow ability, the Central Plains side is not so dry.

Silk originated from the civilizations of the Xia Dynasty, but the Central Plains dynasties were not used for military purposes at all. It was used extensively during the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties. According to the records of the "World Military History Book": Mongolian light cavalry and heavy cavalry both carried a short scimitar. Or a battle axe, each soldier wears a silk robe before the battle begins. This silk is made of raw silk and woven very finely. Genghis Khan found that it was difficult for the arrow to penetrate this silk cloth, and would only insert the arrow belt into the wound. Therefore, the Central Plains surgeon recruited by the Mongolian army only had to pull the silk out to remove the arrow from the wound.

Han has discovered the military use of silk, and the test of war on silk has also been verified in several battles with heavy cavalry of the Jie nationality. After discovering this use of silk, Liu Yan vigorously encouraged the increase in silk production. In recent years, silk production has only been increased under the leadership of the government. However, it is fake to say that the army's extensive equipment is fake.

"We can only afford to install some heavy rides and sudden rides, but we can't do a full deployment at all."

Lu Yi and Kianus Alta Aldahir went to Miyagi to report on the negotiation process after they were separated. He did not add his own subjective impression to make any comments. Liu Yan also became wary of Persian Sassan after hearing this. .

If the Persian Sassan wants to exchange land for the silk production method, in fact, it can be more or less justified. The reason why they are vigilant is because the Persian Sassan has made relevant plans before going on the mission.

Liu Yan still has considerable foresight. Knowing that foreign envoys have come, he has long been wary of countries' prying on silk manufacturing methods, and has made relevant arrangements in advance.

After the envoys arrived in Han, they really tried their best to explore the method of making silk. Of course, they were not obtained because Han had been prepared for a long time.

"I heard that A San started to imitate our silk long ago." Lu Yi said as a joke: "A San is trying to make spider silk. It seems that he has actually made a similar raw silk, which is made from silk. Silk is two products."

No kidding! Ah San really studied spider silk to make silk, and started experimenting hundreds of years ago. It seems that he has made a finished product. However, during the experiment, he caught fire and turned into ashes when he was fired. The research was stopped for a long time. Just started to try again.

In fact, spider silk is really a good thing. To some extent, spider silk has more fiber strength than silk. Spider silk can really be made into clothes. It requires mature technology, not spinning, but using spiders. For the stickiness of silk itself, the Kucong people in Yunnan have relevant skills.

Until the technological development reached a certain level, the development of spider silk surpassed that of silk. In many military applications, spider silk was even more valuable than silk. For example, during World War II, spider silk was used as a sight for telescopes and guns. The crosshairs of the optical device in the system are later developed for military purposes such as bulletproof vests.

Lu Yi was telling it as a joke, but Liu Yan, who knew that the spider silk was being used, could not laugh.

"A San is at the forefront of the world in smelting, and I didn't expect that even the research on spider silk would be the same..." Liu Yan said that Lu Yi was completely stunned, and the latter sentence almost made Lu Yi petrify: "We There should also be related research on spider silk."

Lu Yi was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while, and he didn't know what expression to use to face his king.

Liu Yan hasn't said that there is one religion. If religion is included, Ah San has a rhythm to go to heaven.

It is that no matter what Ah San invented, it became his own in the end. For example, Uzigang became Persian. Buddhism only flourished in the East. He even worked hard to research and create the "1, 2, 3, 4……9" This set of numbers has also become Arab (not nonsense).

"My lord?" Lu Yi regained his consciousness and immediately asked, "About the Persian proposal?"

"The method of making silk is absolutely impossible to leak!" Liu Yan is not as great as Ah San. He doesn't even have the slightest idea of ​​sharing papermaking, printing, gunpowder, and compasses with the world. Tea can be shared, but tea species are. Don't want to bring out the Han soil. He said simply and clearly: "It is the Persians who want to form an alliance with the big man, and the big man has no need for an alliance. The willingness to let Sassan share a three-point cup of Afghan is to lay the foundation for future strategic deployment. If you have any intentions..., It's wise to know how to respond."

Liu Yan stopped as he said, and he motioned to Cui Zong to bring the memorial sent back by Huan Wen.

"Huan Wen is a pioneering military commander. Sending him a command is considered a widow to do the right thing~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Liu Yan handed the memorial to Lu Yi, and said with a smile: "He didn't limit his gaze to Gupta. "

After the collapse of the Guishuang Empire, it split into several countries. The Gupta dynasty was only one of them. The Asan land was not completely conquered by the Dayue people. Since the collapse of the Maurya Dynasty, Asan’s indigenous country has always existed. Since the Han army was invading the territory of Asan, it did not necessarily need to stare at the Gupta dynasty, and could find other countries as a breakthrough point.

"This..." Lu Yi was a little shocked after reading the memorials. What he saw was Huan Wen's suggestion to attack a small country near the Gupta dynasty and land directly in that small country. He hesitated: "The small country can be destroyed easily, but... Wouldn't the countries there unite to fight against the big guys?"

Including Huan Wen, anyone in Han who cares about the name of that small country will probably still have a mentality of "I am worthy of you when my uncle beats you."

"Of course it will happen." Liu Yan laughed "hehe" for a while and asked Lu Yi: "Once the army has landed and succeeded in gaining a foothold, is there a difference in the Gupta Territory or elsewhere? ?"

Lu Yi thought for a while, and really believed that there is no difference. Those countries of Asan should be united or they should be united. That is, once Huan Wen does that, there will be no room for diplomatic operations in Han.
