Chapter 701

"Naturally, the Gupta Dynasty cannot wait to die."

The season has entered the middle of autumn. Guanzhong has been cool at this time in previous years, but it still looks a little hot this year.

Liu Yan has been touring the counties in Guanzhong for more than two months. At first, he was active around Chang'an, old and new. He mainly saw the organizational situation with his own eyes, paid attention to various logistics distribution, the corvee recruited and the living conditions of the employed men. After touring Chang'an for more than a month, the journey turned to the West. Along the Weishui line, we entered Shiping County to investigate the local geological features. All the way to the west, we passed Fufeng County, Lueyang county and Tianshui county to Longxi County.

There were several light rains in all parts of Guanzhong at the beginning of autumn, but the amount of rain was much less than that in previous years. If you survey the water level of Weihe River, you will find that it has decreased a lot. However, the more you move west, the more you can be sure that drought will break out.

"The Gupta Dynasty is a regional overlord, and of course it will have a strong influence on the surrounding countries. In addition, we appear very suddenly, and the countries in that region dare not take it lightly, including the prestige of the pre Han Dynasty."

The former Han Dynasty refers to the western and Eastern Han Dynasties, not counting the countries established by the Hu people.

The first emperor swept the eight wastelands and six harmonies to form a unified pattern, but the Qin Empire did not exist for long. In the second period, the original six countries were re established, and the three counties in southern Xinjiang conquered by the first emperor also lost control.

After the war in the late Qin Dynasty and the struggle between Chu and Han, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, finally became the new emperor. The territory of the Western Han Dynasty was not as large as that of the unification period of the Qin Empire. For example, the remnants of the Qin army in the South and the local barbarians jointly founded the country, and for example, there were Vietnamese in Chu, and some destroyed countries also revived.

In 150 BC, the territory of the Western Han Dynasty was 2.1 million square kilometers; By 120 BC, it had increased to 2.67 million square kilometers; By the first year of AD, it had rapidly expanded to 6.1 million square kilometers.

During the unification of the Qin Empire, the living space of Zhuxia civilization was 3.47 million square kilometers. Before the demise of the Western Han Dynasty, it was stable at 6.1 million square kilometers. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was 4.25 million square kilometers. By the time of the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the largest territory area was 5.8 million square kilometers, that is to say, the territory area of the Eastern Han Dynasty has always been less than that of the Western Han Dynasty.

The Western Han Dynasty was a period of expansion of Zhuxia civilization. Liu Che opened up more than three times the living space belonging to the Han people in his life. That was the blood of countless soldiers. It's not too much to say that an inch of blood is an inch of mountain and river. Later, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty made great efforts to govern, and the Han people had a new round of development period, which expanded the living space of the Han people to the extreme at that time.

After the early Han Dynasty, the Han people were not only a title, but also a pronoun of martial spirit. The word "hero" has been sufficiently representative. The first Han Dynasty destroyed countless countries and families, and achieved great prestige. Only then did there be the phenomenon of claiming to be Han people in all dynasties.

The Han people are sheep, the Hu people are wolves, and there are wolf totems. The Han people are born weak, and the rest of the nation are born strong. Some of the statements are nonsense. For example, the Chinese people's statement that one person is a dragon and many people are adults is actually an offensive with sinister public opinion. Just as Goebbels in World War II said, lying 10000 times is the truth. Under the repeated bombing of information, the fake becomes true, and the nature of a nation is distorted.

In fact, every time it's the turn of the Han Dynasty, one people, one nation, one Lord and one righteousness to rise, it is an opportunity for the prosperity of Zhuxia civilization, which brings about each revival and rapid expansion.

Each rise and expansion of the Han people is a nightmare for the surrounding areas. The new round of great expansion in the Wu Zhou (Wu Zetian) period has made the living space of the Zhuxia civilization reach the largest 12.1 million square kilometers in history, which makes the foreign people have another name for the people of the central country, that is, the Tang people.

A warlike civilization will never be unknown. How many foreign nationalities have heard of it represents how prosperous the reputation of the nation is. When those foreign nationalities fight against this civilization, they are actually soft first.

"This is the situation we are facing now. The great achievements made by our ancestors are so great that our descendants have not really started, and those countries have been scared to hold together."

Any nation is a nation whose ancestors cut thorns and covered thorns, and accumulated enough details for future generations. Some nations died in that process, and some stood up again despite repeated disasters. Any nation that can exist and continue, whether strong or weak, as long as it is not eliminated, is a victory.

Zhuxia civilization has a period of prosperity and decline. It can be regarded as a relatively special existence of the forest of nations in the world. At present, when it is Liu Yan's turn to take charge of the ox ear of Zhuxia civilization, the situation is far more complex than before. At least the farthest stage of previous dynasties is the western region.

The reputation of our ancestors alone can make other nations tremble. As future generations, while feeling glory, they should work harder not to tarnish the glory of our ancestors. If they can't stop, they will inevitably become a consensus. And this is what Liu Yan wants.

"The Gupta Dynasty is not the first step for a great man, but a step that a great man should pay attention to." Ji Chang said that there was nothing wrong with this sentence. He said, "send more troops, king?"

Today's Han Dynasty has gone further than the western and Eastern Han Dynasties. It has brought the whole Korean peninsula into its territory, marched into the Northeast Plain, occupied more than half of the grassland, invaded the depths of the Indochina Peninsula, and started its own exploration of the sea. It has lived up to its predecessors.

The pace of the Han Dynasty's conquest will not stop at assan territory, but the war against the Gupta Dynasty has attracted a lot of attention, which is equivalent to the war against the Gupta Dynasty stepping on the stage of the world island.

On the big stage of the world island, anyone with foresight knows what it means. Just winning is not enough. You need to play great martial arts. The more powerful you show, the more helpful it will be to continue to expand in the future.

"At present, most of the 13 standing armies are in a stopped state." Xu Zheng was happy and immediately said, "seven standing soldiers can be transferred to the war at any time."

Ji Chang was very helpless to Xu Zheng who climbed up along the pole. The reason why he stopped large-scale military use is not only because of the outbreak of large-scale natural disasters, but also the need to stop to develop internal affairs to the greatest extent. That is an inevitable trend, but the military is obviously not happy.

"I'm afraid it's difficult to mobilize the seven standing armies due to the limitations of maritime transport capacity and land roads." Sang Yu teased Xu Zheng: "I'm afraid Taiwei will be disappointed."

It has been some time since sang Yu returned to the center. As soon as he came back, he did a major event. He supervised officials at all levels of the Imperial Palace and tried six Prefects. There were as many as 47 county magistrates and county heads, and the following public officials and local people involved were worthless, which showed the majesty of the imperial palace.

Every country will carry out a "clean-up" before the great rule of law. It is not entirely for the sake of the clean administration of officials, but also a necessary means to unify the spirit. In addition, there is the choice of "standing in line". People who conform to the current national policy naturally deserve many benefits. It is a kind of happiness for people with different ideas to go back to their hometown and farm land.

The current national policy of the Han state is to deal with a large area of natural disasters. Anyone who stands in the way or causes negative factors belongs to the object to be cleaned up. Naturally, someone will make up for it after cleaning up a group. Liu Yan has obtained the ideological unity of the whole country. In fact, each central leader has benefited more or less, such as the expansion of his faction.

Xu Zheng said very seriously, "the Gupta Dynasty is a powerful country that can arm millions of troops!"

As for how strong the Gupta Dynasty is, the war report sent back from the front mentioned that the Gupta navy has rich combat experience and reminded that the Gupta Dynasty can really arm millions of troops, but the Han state still has no clear concept.

"That's a million troops!" Xu Zheng wants the military to have more troops to participate in the war and make more people have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Even if he is talking nonsense, he should also say in a serious direction: "only a million troops deserve the attention of the Great Han. It is said that even if a million troops are destroyed, the Gupta Dynasty can arm the next one million troops, not to mention that there are many dependent countries of the Gupta Dynasty."

That's a million troops! Even if the combat effectiveness of those one million soldiers is not very good, from the perspective of the country, it can be explained that there are enough resources to arm one million people.

Now the Gupta Dynasty has begun to take a group of younger brothers to engage in affairs at the pingman Colonel's headquarters after the violent soldiers continue to mobilize the south. In fact, it has begun to prepare for the national mobilization.

The Han parliament knew that the Gupta Dynasty was doing national mobilization. It was not the fine work of the Han people, but the information provided by the Roman side. As for why the Romans disclosed information to the Han state, there are aspects worth thinking about.

Some countries have a large population, but limited to the relevant aspects of national strength, they can't arm a million people. After all, if you want to have many troops, you must first have weapons to equip the soldiers, and after the establishment, you must also have logistical supplies to ensure that even no matter what makes the people miserable, not every country can do it. A country that does not have the ability and does not do so has basically finished its own life in a series of domestic turmoil before going to war with the enemy country.

According to Xu Zheng, the Han state's action against the Gupta Dynasty is to mention the iron plate at all. There is no lack of Ministers who feel that they have found the wrong opponent, but no one will show regret. Even if they pretend to be strong, they should pretend to be just.

In fact, even if the Gupta Dynasty is strong, the Han parliament is worried, but I'm afraid it really doesn't.

Because of the existence of Liu Yan's golden finger, the state of Han did not need to worry about supplies such as food and fodder. If it really wanted to be cruel, it was just to open up more space for garrison troops and send hundreds of thousands of troops anytime, anywhere.

What about the Gupta dynasty? They held their own a Sanyang, destroyed and captured the captain's Department of pingman. What can they do after that? Can we learn from Han to build a forward base? Even if a forward base was built on the border of the Han Kingdom, how many troops could the Gupta Dynasty deploy in the forward base, and how should the logistics be maintained?

In the current era, Liu Yan has a golden finger to engage in large-scale cross sea invasion over a long distance, which is the premise that there is no need to worry about the difficulty of logistics supply.

Then, the Han state is already operating Malacca. This portal is in the hands of the Han state. The Gupta Dynasty really destroyed the pingman school and army. How to get through Malacca is a difficult point.

Under a series of preconditions, the center of the Han state already knows that the Gupta Dynasty is a little difficult, but it is really not afraid of any counterattack by the Gupta Dynasty. On the contrary, even if the Han state fails for the first time, it can do things for the second, third... Countless times.

At present, Liu Yan has encountered no other difficulties. A large area of natural disasters need to be dealt with, and the internal affairs really need to be developed. At the same time, it is really impossible to employ troops on a large scale, not only for the Gupta Dynasty, but also for the western regions that should be recovered.

"As long as we can land in the mainland of assan and support the war with war, we can solve many problems." Xu Zheng obviously didn't give up. He was a bit of a fuss and said, "can't he still buy food from many countries?"

One of the difficulties in limiting the large-scale use of troops is that the Han country is now short of food. After the outbreak of natural disasters, the vast majority of areas will have no harvest. The food used in the large-scale work for relief project will be an astronomical number. Under this premise, most of the standing armies are nestled, and the soldiers of counties and counties have been transferred in batches to the south to engage in the "land of fish and rice", which has expanded the number of tuntian regiments to nearly one million in a very short time.

In the face of Xu Zheng's reckless entanglement, Liu Yan made no statement. Ji Chang and other ministers smiled bitterly again and again.

The original intention of the Han state to invade the Gupta Dynasty is to plunder. Yes, but the ultimate goal is to destroy the country and occupy land. If you really want to destroy ah San, you can't be extremely poor and ferocious at the beginning. You have to take it step by step, at least you can't push all ah San to the opposite at the beginning.

The Central Committee has approved Huanwen's landing operation plan against A-San. After dealing with the troops of A-San and other multinational coalition forces against pingman, the expeditionary army will implement the landing plan of a small country whose name is unknown until now.

Now the battle to defend the captain's Department of pingman school is the initial stage. Huan Wen did not ask for help at home. Xu Zhenghui came out to do things purely under the pressure of his colleagues. A group of guys whose eyes turn red when they smell blood are eager to find a battlefield that can establish military merit.

Buying food from many countries has been implemented. The envoys of various diplomatic missions are still in the Han country and have not returned. The Han country sent people to follow their Deputy envoys back home. It is unknown how much food can be purchased.

Liu Yan did not declare his position on the troop increase because he knew that even if Huan Wen began to implement the landing operation plan for the A3 site, the process would take at least more than half a year from the confused actions related to landing to the real landing.

There is still more than half a year. Liu Yan must have a good time. The military, who is crazy to make achievements, hold it until it is really released. The war enthusiasm erupted is definitely more ferocious than under normal circumstances.
