Chapter 1058

In countries with coastlines, generally, the prosperous economic zone will be in coastal areas, and the coastal areas will inevitably bear more than half of the national tax quota.

The expeditionary fleet came all the way and shelled at least 27 cities, three of which were landed and looted, completely burning seven cities to ruins.

The two satraps are not a strong country in terms of economic strength. Their main business is grazing. However, in terms of the current economic structure, grazing is to ensure that they have enough horses, cattle, sheep and camels. In fact, they can't make much money.

There are several coastal cities that serve as transit areas for other countries' trade. Before that, there were a large number of Persians and Gupta people, and a small number of Romans, Egyptians and Bendu people.

After the Han Empire joined, there were many more Han people.

But when the war broke out, the navy of the Han Empire often cruised and blocked, and there was no one else on the sea route except the Han people.

"In the list they gave, there were 261 Han people and more than 3000 related servants." The two instruments sent by satrapu in Yuan Qiao's hand were a kind of dry and hard parchment. He said to Huan Wen, "this is only the first batch, and there are others behind."

The expeditionary fleet has received two satrapu envoys without deliberately humiliating them, but at the national level, it only arranges two tents and does not give materials for daily expenses, which is actually a kind of humiliation.

"Those merchants move very fast." Huan Wen knew who the two satraps were on the list: "it's only a few years for big men to develop business routes. What are their business opportunities here?"

The Han people must be saved. This is also one of the missions of the expeditionary fleet this time. We should not only save, but also save with great fanfare. We should use this cautious behavior to inform all the people that the country will not abandon anyone, but will do our best whenever possible.

"Exchange some ordinary domestic trade products for precious metals here." Yuan qiaocai doesn't believe Huan Wen and doesn't know what business opportunities are: "trade profits are usually more than 200 percent."

Who doesn't have a trading caravan in the big family of the Han Empire? They were the upper class nobles in the Han Empire. They also had at least one trading fleet under their name. At the beginning, they went to the sea trade from the mainland to the Indochina Peninsula. Later, with the discovery of more and more countries and the repeated development of maritime trade routes, the pace of the trading fleet went farther and farther.

The two satraps are not a country with any special products. They also have what they should have in the hometown of the Gupta empire. If there is a huge profit, it is probably the boutique of some knives, and then horses and camels.

Tens of thousands of miles of sea journey to obtain horses and camels is extremely uneconomical. Unless the horses are expensive enough, the horses on the two satraps are not unique. Some of them will be not only powerful countries in the A3 continent, but also Sasan and other landlocked countries in Central Asia.

The only tools worth buying by the Han people are those knives. It is a very special Uzi steel, which is probably the product of the peak of current smelting and forging technology.

Yes, Persian Damascus knives were obtained either from Indians or from the two satraps. The latter two satraps were destroyed. Then assan kept changing dynasties, and the technology of making Damascus knives became unique to Persians.

"The other is some fur." Yuan Qiao's position determines that once the expedition fleet wants to go to war against a country, it should try its best to understand that country, including but not limited to military strength, What we must rely on to produce economic benefits must be grasps: "the semi nomadic semi farming country is the coastal area where we have been ravaged. After a round of destruction, they will lose at least 4/10 of their tax revenue for two or three years."

Huan Wen thought about it for a while.

If the coastal areas of the Han Empire were ravaged for such a while and the sea trade cities such as Jingkou, Linzi and mashijin were destroyed, the first thing to face would be a large number of homeless refugees, and the second would be the loss of about 28% of the annual tax revenue. The problem may not be big in two or three years, but the follow-up impact over time will inevitably affect the success or failure of the national war.

"They should think our main target is here." Yuan Qiao made a judgment based on the reaction of the two satraps: "the Tianzhu shogunate is preparing for the battle. We landed from the sea. They are afraid of being attacked on both sides."

No country will be afraid of multi-faceted war, especially when facing the overlord power of the Han Empire, the two satraps will not be an accident.

"Uncle Yan's meaning is clear." Huan Wen thought, "can they accept it if they don't surrender to the Tianzhu shogunate and surrender to us?"

Zhuxia's highest level of military use is to subdue people without fighting. In particular, he led his army to a powerful country. As soon as the army arrived, he forced the other party to bend his knees and surrender. It is regarded as the highest achievement of a military general.

Huan Wen has a lot of auras. He is still eager to achieve more achievements in subduing people without fighting.

Then again, the expedition fleet needs a good start. There is no better start than threatening two satraps just for landing.

The question now is what kind of surrender conditions they can negotiate.

"We need time to build this bridgehead." Yuan Qiao's meaning is: "that is, we can't negotiate the desired results. Delaying time is also beneficial to us."

"Presumably, the two satraps are ready to make peace by cutting the soil, and they also understand that they need to pay good money for peace." Huan Wen was seriously discussing the surrender conditions of the two satraps: "they want to get out of this war. It's not that easy!"

The best result is that they can grab enough interests from the two satraps who want to break away from the war, and make the two satraps a country that can be driven. As in many foreign wars in the past, they can defeat an enemy country and use it for themselves, and use them to destroy or consume another enemy country.

Huan Wen clearly understood that it was not difficult to achieve that, especially on the premise that the two satraps had taken the lead in seeking peace, the difference was only the speed of time.

The landing Cape completed the occupation without any cruel war. Then the Han army began to push towards the surrounding areas and arrested the aliens who did not have time to escape, making them the next labor force to build the bridgehead.

"I don't know one thing." Liu Ming trampled on the red soft land and escorted some captured prisoners with a group of paoze: "this place is barren. What do they do for a living?"

The prisoners looked very dark, but they were not African. If it is distributed by race, it should be the race of ah San, not the Cypriots.

Cypriots are a kind of sub white skin race. Zhuxia was called Cypriots long ago. The highest contact was in the Western Han Dynasty. According to records, it was first seen in Dawan.

The contemporary Han people already know that the Cypriots have another name. The Persians call them Scythians, which is inherited from the Parthian Empire.

At that time, the Scythians were a powerful nation in the north of Parthia and enslaved other nationalities. It was equivalent to that the Hun role on the back of the Parthian Empire was hammered and paralyzed. Although there were many Cypriots in the back areas, they no longer had a great threat.

The environment of Haijiao looks too bad. The land is all loose and soft. A little stronger wind can blow a large area of smoke and dust. No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for farming.

In addition to the soft land, most plants look half dead. They can't see the green that plants should have, let alone the shade.

This kind of scenery cannot be seen in the native land of the Han Empire. To see this landscape, we need to wait for serious soil erosion in Guanzhong plateau, but the color of the land will not be earthy red, but a kind of earthy yellow.

Now people can't judge what makes the environment so bad. In fact, it is a phenomenon of dry groundwater. It may be that the underground river is broken, or there is simply no water left. If this phenomenon continues, the geographical environment will soon become the face of the Gobi.

Liu Ming is still very happy to see new things, and is willing to spend some time and effort to explore and understand.

"It is reasonable to say that the seaside should not be like this." Liu Ming grabbed a handful of withered and yellow weeds and smelled them under his nose. He only smelled the smell of soil, not the smell of plants: "is the land salinized?"

For the time being, no one can answer Liu Ming's question. A special scientific research team needs to come and study the soil. If there is no problem on the surface of the soil, find the right place to dig deeply. If you can dig into the underground river, you can get the answer.

They escorted the prisoners back to the camp. Liu Ming was told that Shangguan had a new task.

"We will be the second batch of troops to land in Sassanian territory." Xin Ling is the leader of Liu Ming's team. He looks around at his more than 50 people with enthusiasm on his face: "we will land the enemy's firearm troops from the sea for the first time, and we must be dignified!"

Fifty people responded in unison: "promise!!!"

The expeditionary fleet landed on the Cape, but it did not mainly attack the two satraps. Before the negotiations with the two satraps came to an end, the battle plan for the south coast of Sasan was formulated.

In fact, they are the greatest help to the Tianzhu shogunate here. Even if the two satraps do not immediately advise to negotiate and surrender, their presence on this side will certainly make the two satraps dare not pour out to fight with the Tianzhu shogunate.

"So Qian Jiantong association is the best candidate for the general of the Tianzhu shogunate?" Huan Wen will have a period of leisure after the battle plan is confirmed. He will not be busy again until the war breaks out: "what a lucky guy!"

The Duhu of a Duhu mansion can already be regarded as the upper middle class of the Han Empire, but it is much worse than the generals of the field army.

Being able to become a general of the field army shogunate is actually a ladder to the top of the military. As long as you can win a big victory as the chief of the shogunate, you will have the foundation to become a permanent general. And become a permanent general? Look at those people named by the emperor in case of war, and then look at their titles and treatment. As long as there is no example of rabbit death and dog cooking, the three generations of wealth and honor are inevitable.

Yuan Qiao smiled a few times when he saw Huan Wen's jealousy that he didn't even hide.

The Tianzhu shogunate will not be the most important and prominent shogunate in the future, but it will definitely be the shogunate that has experienced the most wars.

The A3 continent is not small. There are too many kingdoms on it. In addition to the Kingdom, there are many states, city states, tribes and tribes. It is destined to destroy these things all over before it can safely go north to participate in the invasion of Persian Sassanian.

In the Han Empire, fame and wealth can only be achieved through war. As a soldier, the most fear is that there is no war.

In fact, in some ways, the ambition of the emperor and his determination to break through the whole world island are the greatest protective talisman for Xun GUI and generals.

As long as the Han Empire will continue to have wars, the probability of what happens will be reduced.

After all, the emperor has such great wild prospects that he always needs someone who can lead the army to fight. The knife will not be changed easily if it is used smoothly.

In this way, it all shows that unless any guy has a brain attack, he can get a good end.

"I'll take a thousand ships." Huan Wen didn't intend to stay on the Cape and told him, "the negotiations with the two satraps will come from long history."

When Yuan Qiao saluted, he thought, "Yuanzi has taken over some of his responsibilities."

Mainland A3 is the theater of the Tianzhu shogunate. Even if the two satraps want to surrender, they should surrender to the Tianzhu shogunate. If the expeditionary fleet accepted the surrender of the two satraps, it would undoubtedly be a blood spitting thing for the Tianzhu shogunate, and the friendship between the two shogunates would be inevitable.

Yuan Qiao thought that Huan Wen's departure was a good thing. After he became the main person in charge of the two satraps, he would let the Tianzhu shogunate take the lead in accepting the surrender and make the greatest benefit of fame, but he would not give up his achievements in this matter. In fact, the benefit would be the majority.

The expeditionary fleet was established to expedition Europe. The greatest credit would be to appear on the battlefield at war with Rome. The credit for seizing the A3 continent is not only taking over, but also doing nothing. Eating looks too ugly.

On the other side of the Tianzhu shogunate, Qian Jiantong, who was recognized by the Central Committee, took over as the head of the shogunate. As soon as he took office, he received the news that two satraps were going to surrender to the expedition fleet. It can be said that for a time, he felt that his power was in danger.

The army is far more realistic than anywhere. The generals who can't win the war are waste materials. Waste materials will never be recognized by the officers and men. If they can't be recognized by the officers and men, they can't use the army like an arm.

"This is my first challenge after taking office!" Qian Jiantong usually felt guilty about shanghuan Wen. He couldn't stand to retreat from the current situation: "send someone to contact the expeditionary shogunate and send cavalry into the chambar river!"
