The primitive jungle has never lacked all kinds of beasts and poisons, and most of them are mosquitoes and snakes.
When mankind opens up living space, every step is actually competing for habitat with natural creatures. I don't know how many people fall in the way of benefiting future generations, so that future generations can take it for granted that they have a comfortable living environment around them.
The climate of Indochina Peninsula has determined that this is a more difficult area to develop than the Central Plains. It is not only mysterious but also a black hole that can devour human life. If you want to develop this treasure house, you must be mentally prepared to fill it with human life.
The beasts in the dense forest pose a threat to people, but they are far less threatening than mosquitoes and snakes. Whether they are tigers, leopards, wolves, bears and other beasts, humans have too much experience in competing for living space with them. Once primitive people could kill mammoths with stone weapons, In the current era, it may be difficult for one person to deal with a tiger, but it can be easily cleaned up with the cooperation of multiple people.
Although the mosquito is small, it is very flexible. It is not so easy to kill it when you see it there. But there are many terrible mosquitoes in the dense forest. They are still carriers of germs. Once they bite gently, the germs will be introduced into the human body. If their resistance is poor, they will wait for a cold and fever, and then die.
Then there are all kinds of snakes. Snakes in the jungle are basically poisonous, and those without poison will be very large. The Indochina Peninsula is famous for its large number and variety of snakes. Just like there are no various disease prevention vaccines for mosquitoes, it can't be saved when a poisonous snake bites it when there is no serum.
In order to avoid all kinds of non combat attrition, the Han Army did not make less preparations and drove the naturalized Jiaozhi people to make a lot of materials, such as breathable yarn, which was widely used.
In the Han Army in the jungle, their helmets were specially processed, and their necks were basically covered with a layer of yarn or cloth to prevent being bitten by mosquitoes.
In addition to responding to the jungle in terms of service, lime and sulfur are also necessities for the captain of pingman school. That's why our ancestors knew that those two things can drive away snakes. It's always right to sprinkle more if they don't want to be troubled by snakes.
Visible pests are prevented, and invisible harmful matters are also stopped from some behaviors. For example, the item of never drinking raw water was implemented by the military and people on the expedition to the Indochina Peninsula. That is the premise that many people learned a lesson, so that later people did not do it for the sake of small life.
"Something strange..." Cheng Shuo was really confused: "why can savages survive in the jungle?"
In fact, nature is very fair. It will not identify which creatures survive in its own environment. Any harm is not targeted. As long as it is human, it is human. The threat will not be different. It does not mean that the Han people will die when bitten by a snake, but the savages will not die when bitten by a snake.
"Uh?" Marius Ugri was confused when asked. He was not sure if there were any errors in the translation. He said: "we have always had similar puzzles. We don't understand how those barbarians can survive in the mountains for generations."
The nations with a high degree of civilization actually have a relatively excellent living environment. This kind of excellence is not in vain. It is their own labor or driving slaves to build. Ethnic groups with high civilization basically live in artificially built houses, which are usually relatively comfortable. However, if savages can live in caves, even if they are comfortable, more savages simply eat and sleep in the open air.
"The big man has conducted special research. Even if the savage is not ill or disaster, his life expectancy is only about 30 years." Cheng Shuo didn't lie. The state of Han really carried out a similar investigation: "people who drink blood and hair usually don't live long."
To explain in a scientific way, eating cooked food can make the nutrition of food fully absorbed by people. Food without cooking is less the process of temperature disinfection. Eating raw food will eat those germs, even parasites, which are all collected according to the order, resulting in too many parasites in the human body.
"The savage caught by the big man is thin and weak, but his stomach is bulging." Cheng Shuo said strangely: "some scholars dissect and see, and the worm in the belly makes people can't bear to witness."
Marius Ugri was eating, and suddenly the whole person was not well.
However, Cheng Shuo really didn't talk nonsense. Not only did savages have such a phenomenon. For example, Han people living in the south of Han, especially those who like to eat sashimi (sashimi, etc.), died of abdominal distension and peeled their stomachs. When they saw that their large intestine, small intestine and even other organs were full of parasites.
Cheng Shuo saw Marius Ugri's face was disgusting and happy. He was also eating. No matter what he said in his mouth and what kind of imagination in his mind, he could still eat sweetly. He and Marius Ugri came into contact and found that the Roman aristocrat had a serious obsession with ideological cleanliness, that is, his imagination was very rich, but he would be broken if he could think of anything disgusting.
When the food of the Han army was not bad, even if it was worse, it would be equipped with salted fish. That was a habit of Liu Yan's extreme dependence on seafood in difficult times. Then, the sea was really a treasure house. As a result, salted fish was the standard food from the moment when he became an army. This phenomenon is that no matter where the Han army is, mountains, forests, Gobi and grasslands... As long as it is for dinner, you can certainly see salted fish.
As an officer, Cheng Shuo will have more abundant food. In addition to the standard configuration of salted fish, he has never been short of meat. He will also eat special products because he is in the region, such as the stewing snake soup and a huge tiger leg, and some local fruits are indispensable.
At present, the Han people have not evolved to eat all goods, that is, any creature can use superb cooking methods to make delicious food. However, once the Han people find that a certain creature can eat, it tastes good, and they will eat it wantonly.
Pingman Colonel's Department has been plagued by many frightening snakes. Si Hongzhuang saw that the naturalized Han people from Jiaozhi ate very beautiful. After trying, they tasted really good. After eating, they made a big tonic, so he promoted them to his troops.
Once human beings find a creature that can eat and eat well, then the creature will be completely infected with blood mold. After the popularity of eating snakes in the Han Army, the number of snakes began to decrease sharply, which brought trouble to some extent. For example, the frequency of men running to camp prostitutes has increased sharply.
Han Army has camp prostitutes? It should be said that from the Xia Dynasty to the two Song Dynasties, when scholars controlled the government, the army really had the existence of prostitutes. Some regular prostitutes are official prostitutes, usually family members of criminals, and there is no lack of women who used to be aristocrats. There are also camp prostitutes operated by military merchants, and women are willing to play such a role. This habit was initiated by Guan Zhong and has been continued.
Not everyone can run to the camp prostitutes casually. The officer class naturally has privileges, but the officer also has to spend money. Soldiers have to rest or do meritorious service before they can run to the camp prostitutes. They often agree to be happy for life, but women will continue to work. If they really want to get married, they have to wait until the war is over.
Prostitutes are not only engaged in the flesh business, but also usually take into account the work of washing clothes. Similarly, a woman who has a lifelong relationship will stop doing the flesh business and focus on dry cleaning. They also take on some literary and artistic work, such as singing, dancing and so on.
So, it's a joke that there are no women in the army, but they can't step into some places.
Merchants are also full of Zhuxia characteristics. They do some business with the army. Basically, they carry goods with the army, provide goods for soldiers and digest booty from the battlefield. Usually, they make more profits than can be imagined. Naturally, merchants who can join the army are basically endorsed by a general or noble of the military. Otherwise, the military dare not let them join the army. Once something happens, the general or noble who endorses them must bear the responsibility.
"Cheng Xiaowei." Marius Ugri was eating bananas just now. He picked up the rag next to him and wiped his hands. He said unhappily, "why don't those prostitutes 1 women accept the Roman business?"
Not only did Zhuxia civilization have prostitutes, but in fact every civilization had prostitutes. The Roman army also arranged prostitutes from the beginning.
How should Cheng Shuo answer? Do you want to say that you can't touch the value of Han women?
The camp prostitutes with the army did not get any instructions. They not only refused to serve the Romans, but also rejected the Persians. In the past, the Persians protested again and again, but now it's the turn of the Romans.
Since ancient times, Zhuxia had the thought of not taking other nationalities as people, that is, except the Chinese, the other nationalities are human beasts or tools. The men of Zhuxia never reject and absorb foreign women. That's a good habit left by their ancestors. They kill all foreign men and accept foreign women. Zhuxia has grown so strong.
Since it is an established thought that different races will not be regarded as adults by Zhuxia, Zhuxia women certainly do not want to be ridden by humanoid beasts or tools! Isn't it reasonable to refuse to serve an alien?
Those are facts and habits that won't change at all. The problem is that Cheng Shuo can't say it so clearly. It's not because he's surprised by his friends. He doesn't even bother to explain.
"Well...?" Cheng Shuo thought about it and said, "I don't know."
Marius Ugri didn't know the long formed thinking of Zhuxia, but he was not stupid. He knew that the Romans were discriminated against, and he knew that the Persians were in the same situation. What he felt most uncomfortable was that not only the Han women refused, but also the apparently indigenous female savages.
There's nothing wrong with it. The camp prostitutes in the army are Han women, but the number is really not much. They are more local conquered Aboriginal women. However, one thing is that Han family Erlang's aesthetics is not as fraternal as that of later generations. On the premise of choice, he doesn't want to patronize foreign women who don't conform to aesthetics at all.
Cheng Shuo was not surprised to know that indigenous women also refused to serve the Romans. In fact, the Persians were treated the same. He took it for granted that such things happened. The Han, Roman and Persian were all alien to those indigenous women, but the Han were conquerors. It was an honor to sleep with them. The Romans and Persians did not have such treatment.
I can imagine how idle it is to talk about such a topic on the battlefield.
In fact, the reason why the Han camp is attacking is only to take appropriate pressure on the Gupta camp. There is really no idea of taking an all-round offensive.
On the other side of the Gupta camp, the Han army took the initiative to attack and began to compete for the initiative after the initial defense, but the two sides soon retracted, basically according to the camp.
At present, the two camps have not taken the idea of fierce offensive. They have maintained a small fight for nearly ten days, which seems to be a stalemate in the war.
Senior leaders of all parties need to understand what the other party is thinking, or what is happening inside and behind the other party. On the premise that they don't want to act rashly, will the soldiers of both sides on the front line be idle?
"I heard that the Persian Navy also participated in the war?"
Marius Ugri has stopped talking about whoring 1 prostitutes. The kind of business you love and I want is the woman's unwillingness. The Romans know where they are. Coming to this place is to increase the goodwill of the Han people. It won't be as strong as it is in the middle and east of Europe.
"Yes." Cheng Shuo didn't know the true news, but he knew more or less. He said, "the Persian monarch Shapur II is very sincere about this alliance. The first Persian fleet has arrived."
Marius Ugri could not help sighing. Rome also had warships, but the Roman warships played well in the Mediterranean environment. They couldn't adapt when they came out of the Mediterranean. Even if they wanted to "compete for favor", they didn't have that capital. He didn't mean to laugh at the Persians sending out their navy to beg for the hero country. On the contrary, he thought Shapur II was atmospheric enough.
In fact, the more the two countries know about Han, the more they want to have a good relationship with Han. It is not only the military strength shown by Han, but also the premise determined by trade demand itself.
Marius Ugri asked, "can we send someone to watch the naval battle?"
Cheng Shuo smiled and said, "this is not something I can reply to."
The state of Han is constantly assembling fleets. The number of warships of all sizes on the side of pingman Colonel's headquarters alone has exceeded 1500, and more than 1000 warships have also been assembled in another military port not far from pingman Colonel's headquarters.
Although the Han country did not deliberately show off, it was difficult to keep it secret after the route was opened. The Persians and Romans thought it was easy to get the news. They were shocked that the Han country could assemble such a huge fleet.
The land battlefield of the Han camp and the Gupta camp has entered a period of restraint. Everyone knows that they are waiting for the results of the confrontation at sea. Persian sassanne will send a fleet temporarily. The mind of the Romans is the same, just to have a deeper understanding of the sea power of the Han country.
