Chapter 951

"Good news! Report the success of the western region capital guard!"

A knight in a standard Han army uniform, with a flag box behind him and three small triangular flags. He rode on the majestic war horse and reported his victory with the sound of hoofs on the concrete road.

On the road, the people in front of Hongling's hurry made them get out of the way on both sides. Chang'an residents who heard the cry turned their heads and looked.

"I heard that there are only fifteen thousand children in the western regions?"

"Seems to be shouting to annihilate the enemy by 100000?"

"Yes, that's really a great victory."

"No, how many people should become Hou ye?"

"Who was it?"

"I don't know."

Hearing the news of the victory, the Han people naturally showed a happy expression on their faces, but if they wanted to say how excited they were, they really didn't.

People who have never seen or heard of the western regions have heard of it. One hundred and thirty thousand women from the western regions were suddenly sold the previous year, and some cultural and artistic products different from Zhuxia appeared in shops. Even if they didn't buy Women or cultural and artistic products from the western regions, they should know more or less.

It's normal for Han people to hear the good news. It's not normal to suddenly hear the bad news of their own army one day.

From this victory to another victory, we have always been winning. It seems that the war broke out in the western regions after encountering an invasion. People will be happy when they hear that the western regions have won a great victory. But it is really difficult to feel this kind of emotion when they are ecstatic.

Hongling, who reported the victory, hurried away with the crisp sound of horses' hoofs. Those who had stopped to watch and cheer should do what they should do.

On the third floor of a teahouse, Julian stood by the window and looked at the reaction of the Han people. He looked complex and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Western regions?" Keshias sat on a nursery regiment with his knees bent, straightened his waist and held the porcelain cup in both hands: "when did the Han Empire take military action against hunnit?"

Julian turned back, took a few steps and sat down on his knees in a nursery group: "don't you know that the Han Empire fought against hunnit?"

Keshias felt puzzled: "why do we have to know."

Julian would be surprised that the Han Empire did not communicate with Persian sassanne.

You should know that hunnit is sandwiched between the Han Empire and Persian sassanne. At present, the Han Empire and Persian sassanne are allies. Even if Persian sassanne causes a little pressure on hunnit in the west, the Han Empire can gain more advantages in fighting against hunnit.

They have not left since they came to Chang'an and still stay as envoys.

Because of the relationship between the envoys, even if they can buy the residence no matter how rich they are, they can only live in the arranged post house.

Not only did Julian and keshias not leave, but the first batch of envoys from various countries who came to the Han Empire, as well as many nobles from various countries in the back, plus the people who came back one after another, there were more than 40000 crooked nuts in Chang'an alone, and almost 40000 crooked nuts in Jingkou. There were more than 180000 crooked nuts in the whole territory of the Han Empire.

It's interesting to say that only less than 1000 of the crooked nuts who came to the Han Empire took their own ships, and the rest came to the Han territory by taking the ships of the Han Empire at various ports.

In that way, in addition to not having many ocean going ships in various countries, there are also ships from other countries that need to pay almost sky high fees as long as they pass through Malacca. When they arrive in the mainland of Han, they have to pay another expensive fee. At the same time, the total expenses such as ship berthing fee, repair fee, supply fee, etc. add up, the cost is enough to buy a few ships of the same style.

Although the price is so high, foreign ships still arrive in the Han territory by themselves, but they are all funded by the government. Of course, the reason is that those countries want to take a route by themselves.

"The Han Empire knows that we will test the ocean currents everywhere, and we can experience the voyage by driving our own ships." Keshias sighed: "they can promise to let our ships come and prove that they don't care."

The Han Empire didn't care about countries mastering routes, but there were so many restrictions and exaggerated pen costs. At the beginning, countries really didn't understand why and thought it was making trouble. They came back later. The officials of the Han empire made those things to create profits for their own businessmen!

The ships belonging to the Han Empire and civilian ships naturally need to pay various fees, but the amount of those fees is very reasonable.

The Han Empire did not prohibit the navigation of ships from other countries, but ships from other countries cost 1000 gold coins. Ships from the Han Empire may only cost 100 gold coins. The price of the same commodity is absolutely different because of different customs clearance fees.

In that case, it is also businessmen. The problem is that the merchants of the Han Empire have advantages in goods. It is obvious what choices consumers will have.

"So what?" Julian had no grief or anger, but only helplessness: "it is natural for the strong to exploit the weak."

The Romans have been exploiting the outside world for thousands of years, and only then can they have the glory of generations of Romans.

Persians have never been soft when they can bully and exploit the weak. Otherwise, Persians who have experienced decline and stood up again, how can they still be an empire today.

Truth is that truth. Standing on the side of the weak, we understand that it is a universal law. Being able to accept it does not mean no emotion.

"Yes." Keshias said with a wry smile, "what can happen?"

If you can beat the Han Empire, who will accept exploitation when there is something wrong.

Now the Han Empire still uses commercial means, not force to knock on the door. This alone is enough for them to be happy.

"The Han Empire has been very restrained." Julian said in Roman thinking, "if we were to attack, there would be no peace if the attacked countries were unable to counterattack."

This also needs to be acknowledged by kesias.

The fleet of the Han Empire can reach Constantinople, and it is not difficult to go to the coastline of sassanne, Persia.

At present, only the Han Empire has the ability to carry out long-distance cross sea operations. No country other than the Han Empire has that ability. It means that even if a country is invaded by the Han Empire, it is at best fighting a dozen local defense wars.

It is the cruel reality that makes any country, including Rome and sassanne, know how to face the Han Empire, rationally understand that we can't annoy the Han Empire, as long as we don't have a way to live, we should develop obscene first, and strive to improve ourselves so that one day we can have an equal dialogue with the Han Empire, or even surpass the Han Empire.

There is no shortage of people in power in some countries who secretly laugh at the Han people and think that if they only beat others, others can only fight the war of local defense without any hesitation.

"Why did the Han Empire suddenly start war on hunit..." Julian smiled. The Han Empire had entered a state of war with hunit before, but the scale of the war became larger: "do you have any news?"

Keshias was still very upset that he had not found out that the Han Empire would start against hunnit earlier, or Sasan could join the war. Increasing the friendship with the Han Empire was on the one hand, and Sasan and hunnit were also enemy countries on the other.

The Persians were happy to take advantage and teach hunit a lesson. Although they knew it a little late, kesias decided to send the news back.

Hunnit has been taught a lesson by the Han Empire. Maybe Sasan should try to destroy the country when hunnit is weak, even if he can't destroy hunnit, the more declining hunnit is also in Sasan's interests.

"Although we are treated with courtesy in all aspects, you know other things." Keshias meant that the Han Empire had no obligation to tell everything, and the powerful men of the Han Empire they made friends with would only say some unimportant news: "I didn't care much before, now I think I can guess some."

Chang'an is the capital, and the number of dignitaries is the highest in the whole territory.

The number of dignitaries is more than one. It's a bit exaggerated to say that a big banquet is held every day, but it's normal for someone to hold a banquet in three or two days.

Anyway, Julian and keshias are also royal families of powerful countries. They are only polite. Some dignitaries will also invite them to hold a banquet. They can hear some news. They have to identify whether the news is useful or not.

"You mean..." Julian responded: "they have a lot of topics about Northern Xinjiang recently?"

"Yes." Keshias nodded and continued: "this time, the Han Empire should start against xiongnit to prevent the western regions from being threatened by xiongnit after the war in Northern Xinjiang."

Julian was stunned for a while and said with a bitter smile, "the Han Empire is really domineering."

The Han people showed their hegemonic side, but everything was so reasonable. Who let the Han Empire itself have an enemy relationship with hunit.

"The hunites are not weak." Keshias dared to swear that he didn't say that because Sasan was planted in the hands of the hunites several times. He said very seriously, "the Han Empire used an army... Is it an army?"

What Julian knew was that there was only one military establishment in the western regions, but he could not guess how many troops the Han Empire used to fight hunit this time.

"A standing army may recruit local Han people, but it must recruit people from the western regions." Kexiyas knew that the military actions of the Han Empire liked to bring a group of vassal servants into the army. More or less, he also guessed that the Han Empire would consume the people of the western regions: "the number of cavalry that xiongnit can assemble in the East will not be less than 150000. We saw the urgent envoy of Hongling who reported victory. The result of the war is that the Han army will undoubtedly win. It proves once again the strength of the Han Empire."

What they didn't know was that the eastern border of hunit was ravaged all over, and half of the assembled hunit cavalry were lost in the battlefield, but there was no division in the western regions. More than 13000 Han people died in Xiaoguo battle, and only more than 50000 western people were left in the battlefield.

If the outcome is based solely on casualties, it will not be lost by the Han Empire camp with nearly 220000 casualties.

According to incomplete statistics, there should be 130000 hunites (including soldiers and logistics personnel) who died in the front battlefield. The key is that the number of hunites who died in the rampant swimming reached an amazing 400000, which is equivalent to the initiative of the western region capital guard, which immediately reduced the number of hunites by more than 500000.

For a country with a population of almost three million, losing one sixth of its population at once is more than just breaking bones and muscles.

Coupled with the losses caused by the rampage, hunit was almost hit from a regional power to a second-rate country in less than four months.

The good news was sent to the palace city, waiting for Liu Yan's order to fully announce the achievements made by the western region capital guard. After reading the notice, the personnel of all countries couldn't help fighting a cold war.

"It's terrible!" Goodhouse has never left the Han Empire since he came to the Han Empire. He stayed in the Han Empire as a communication between frank and the Han Empire. He spent about four years, spent a lot of money and made his own efforts. He can speak fluent Chinese, but he can't read Chinese characters smoothly. He asked the translator, "is it true?"

The translation hired by Frank is a thin black and thin South African species. The registered residence is in the elephant forest of Nina County, formerly a nobleman of Lin Yi Guo, and now one of the naturalized books.

"Of course it's true." Lin Wen was the new name he gave himself. He held his head high and said proudly, "the big man will not commit any fraud in the notice!"

Lin Wen's experience was somewhat complicated. When the country was broken, he didn't even believe that he had no resentment. He changed from a noble to a relatively rich naturalized nationality. His heart was full of gaps. He was very lucky compared with those who died and became slaves.

From resentment at the beginning to gradually accepting his new identity, Lin Wen felt that he had become a Han Chinese... Even if he was naturalized, he was hundreds and thousands of times more noble than those who were not Chinese, and his mentality became proud. He was able to treat his customers with a proud expression and tone of voice.

"More than half a million!?" Goodhouse's eyes widened and his lips trembled: "more than the population of our whole country, he was killed by... 15000 Han Army in less than four months."

Lin Wengang was seriously translating. The notice said that nearly 300000 troops were sent to the western regions' capital guard. However, out of pride, he specially explained that the western regions' capital guard sent an army. Both Han Xiaoguo and western regions' people were irregular troops temporarily recruited. It seems that goodhouse understood that only the western regions' capital guard is an army?

Goodhouse didn't think he had any misunderstanding. Frank had a clear distinction between combat effectiveness. The army was the army and the civilians were the civilians. The army and the civilian husband would not be confused deliberately.

Even 15000 regular troops were a big number for Frank. If they carried out extreme mobilization, there would be less than 50000 men and women with combat effectiveness.

This notice is in the post house area. Naturally, almost all the people who come to watch are crooked nuts. They are really frightened by the contents written on the notice. The total population of many countries does not exceed 500000. They can't help thinking about what will happen to their country if they provoke the Han Empire.
