Sweep the World - Chapter 1101

Twenty-five years of Yuanshuo in the era of the Han Empire.

In Chang’an just after the new year, firecrackers are constantly sounding at night in the squares and Lu in the second year of the second year.

If you are on the high towers of Miyagi, you will see bright lights across Chang’an City. From time to time, there will be fireworks shè from the ground to the sky in a certain area, and the explosion that follows shows colorful bright colors.

Chang’an City now has more than 2.5 million residents. It surpassed Jiankang and Linzi in the 21st year of Yuanshuo and became the most populous city in the Han Empire. It is also the most populous city in the known world. one.

In fact, even with the population data of 2.2 million in Jiankang and 1.4 million in Linzi, no other country in the world is known to have a city comparable to it.

The current fourth largest city is in Sassanid territory. The population of Taixifeng increased sharply in the 23rd year of Yuanshuo of the Han empire, reaching as much as 1.3 million.

The third largest city is Constantinople, the capital of Rome, with a population of about 650,000?

The reason why the population of Sassanid Taixifeng increased sharply in a short period of time was that the Han army on the Western Expedition reached Medes, and Medes was the central province of Sassanid.

It took nearly six years for the Han army to reach Medes. Before, the two sides had had six battles involving the two camps with a combined army of more than 500,000.

In the six great battles, the Han army won four times, but they also retreated twice.

Although the losses of the two voluntary retreats were not too exaggerated, they were undeniable failures. For a time, the anti-Han coalition forces thought that the Han Empire was no longer good, and they assembled heavy troops to counterattack like chicken blood.

The first small defeat of the Han army retreated directly to the territory of Hunite. This time, several small countries attached to the Han Empire were considered **** bad, and were liquidated by the anti-Han Axis coalition forces. Under the condition of their subjugation, the royal family fled. Naturally, he was later helped by the Han Empire to restore the country.

The Han army, which voluntarily retreated for the second time, set up a layout, and this time annihilated the 340,000 army with the Sassanian as the main force. Among them, the Romans left five Manchu army groups totaling 30,000. people.

During the battle for nearly six years, as many as 360,000 soldiers were permanently fallen on the battlefield in the Han Empire camp. Although there were as many as 190,000 soldiers from the Guangxi Region’s servants, the cannon fodder was temporarily drawn from various countries. Sixty to seventy thousand people died in the battle, but nearly one hundred thousand Han soldiers fell on the road to the west, or were disabled and could no longer continue to serve.

The Anti-Han Axis is definitely much more miserable than the Han Empire. In six years, the Han army alone can count more than 800,000 battle results. Sassan’s own statistics lost much more, exceeding 1.3 million heads.

There will be such a big gap between the statistics on the two sides. The Han army only counts the captives and the head, while the Sassan nodded after gathering the troops.

A war is not just a loss if you die on the battlefield. Some soldiers who are no longer returned to the building after escaping will also be included in the loss figure. Then there are some soldiers who can no longer fight because of their disabilities. They are also regarded as part of the loss of combat effectiveness.

The Han army destroyed the main force of the anti-Han Axis coalition forces in eastern Sassanid in the 21st year of Yuanshuo, and formally invaded Sassanian territory on a large scale.

Prior to this, the front of the two sides was actually around the periphery of Jilongpo.

It would be that the road from the mainland of the Han Empire to Jilongpo has been under construction. Although the Han army does not have to worry about the loss of grain and some cold weapons, but the supply of gunpowder must always keep up, otherwise the advancement does not have strategic requirements. .

At the same time, it is also one of the strategic requirements to continuously shed blood on the anti-Han axis, and it is also necessary to deplete the national power of the Sassanids.

In the past six years, the Han Empire did little to support the Arabs. Even Sassan also understood the principle of maintaining national warfare and internal stability at the same time. Before that, it had not killed all Arabs who dared to resist indiscriminately, and moved to the back. The means of repression became bloodier.

In order to build a road from the mainland to the front line, the Western Expedition Han Army captured the enemy as much as possible, while also constantly sending troops to sweep the surrounding area.

In just a few years, the surrounding areas in the Xizheng Shogunate battlefield were actually almost turned into ghosts, and the local natives who were not in the Han Empire camp either ran away or were caught.

The descendants of the Northern Huns, including some tribes around the Black Sea, who were supposed to have moved westward again after more than a hundred years due to the actions of the shogunate on the Western Expedition, ran a clean run in just three to five years, resulting in a war zone. The surrounding area is obviously rich in water and grass, but it has become a vast no-man’s land.

It is not only the Han Empire that is arresting people, the anti-Han axis is also arresting people.

The Han army arrested people to build roads. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people would be killed or injured every month. The more people died, the more vacancies would be filled. Otherwise, when would the road be built?

The reason for the anti-Han axis to arrest people is even simpler. They desperately need cannon fodder, even if they just force the cannon fodder to rush forward, how can it consume more gunpowder, arrows… or even strength for the Han army?

The two strong fight each other, and the weak do not run away because they have brain problems, and they deserve it if they die.

The increase in the population of Constantinople in Rome was also due to the factors of the Han Empire. The expeditionary fleet led by Huan Wen first landed in Rome in the Mauritania province of Africa. After completing the control of the area, it began to take Europa in the 19th year of Yuanshuo. Attacks within the territory caused migration waves in the Europa department of Rome.

Rome, under the rule of the Constantine family, was actually not focused on the Italian peninsula of Europa. Even the “land of the dragon” like Italy could be said to give up and give up, so Western and Central Europe became even less important.

In Rome at this stage, Europa is not the same as the current Constantine family. Before the Constantine family civil war, the Roman nobles of Europa bet on the opponent of Constantine II.

If such a thing as a bet on the wrong treasure happened in Zhu Xia, waiting for the final winner, these guys would definitely die.

However, it is a little different in Rome. The wrong bet is to become a marginal family, and they can even live exceptionally in their own control area. Several competing quasi-Augus have come to the final winner, not only I can’t take them anyway, either to appease them or ignore them, or they’re breaking the rules that Rome has formed over thousands of years.

Once the thousands of years of rules are broken, the new Augustus should face the siege of the aristocracy. It is estimated that just a few days after sitting on the throne of Augustus, the new Augustus will roll down in despair.

That is the root cause of the Roman system. It is not only that the country has an army. Each family has more or less its own private army. Some powerful family private army is even more than the standing army under the national organization. In terms of combat effectiveness It is even more difficult to say accurately.

To put it plainly, the ruling families of Rome are the strongest nobles. They just have a unique name. They are not like Zhu Xia who gradually became restrained. Except for the army established by the state, even if there are people who have enough qualifications to have private The number of soldiers and private soldiers is also restricted to a minimum.

The situation in any country is the same. Whoever has the military power has the right to speak. Without an army, no matter how rich it is, it is just a fat pig to be slaughtered. Whether it will be slaughtered depends on the ruler’s festival. .

Huanwen arrived near the Strait of Gibraltar in the eighteenth year of Yuanshuo, but he did not choose to land from the Strait of Gibraltar. In fact, he landed from a location in the southwest of modern Morocco.

Before the landing, there were no Roman garrisons at all in that area of ​​the coast, but there were some indigenous tribes.

The landing force of the expeditionary fleet did not immediately use force against the natives as soon as they came ashore. They were trying to communicate friendly, but unfortunately the black stalks over there were too ignorant and ignorant.

Hei Shu found out that a strange race had arrived, and their first choice turned out to be to call people to fight.

A group of black shochu without even a piece of fabric on their bodies, only the first batch or leaves are used to cover their crotch, with stone grass and rattan shields in their hands, then “Wow, haha!” launched an offensive, and then… Then become a corpse, or be captured.

The black millet on this side is still in an absolute primitive state, living in a natural cave, or finding a natural cave dwelling.

What is farming? Black mullet will never be willing to farm! Their food comes from nature, and their main means of obtaining food are gathering and hunting.

If it is the season when it is difficult to obtain food from nature, they are the tribes rushing to grab each other, and it is not difficult to eat people when necessary.

Most of the black millet swears that they will never farm even if they are eight hundred years later. They still have to rely on their instincts. They feel that if they can’t survive, they will find someone to cry and they can always arouse some people’s sympathy and donate. Donate food or something, and then continue to **** it internally.

However, some of the black sorghum who were arrested as slaves in the early years have had their genes mutated. It is probably the genes of labor that were buried in the slave life of their ancestors, but they don’t like learning… or their brains are too small to learn, they are still one Help groups who don’t like to learn very much.

The Han people brought by Huanwen discovered a characteristic of the local aboriginals. Even if they were forced to work, they would be lazy in the sun when they caught the opportunity. After being whipped for many times, they should still be lazy or continue to be lazy. The effect of killing chickens and monkeys is not great, even The reward system is not very effective.

This discovery almost made the Han Chinese who came to Africa desperate. The reason why they didn’t go to the Romans to start their work was not because they wanted to find a place to build a forward base first.

The black sorghum caught was too lazy, so lazy that it was almost rotten, should all the projects be done by themselves? How much time should that be wasted!

For a while, they all felt that the start of the slave capture program in southern Africa was definitely the worst decision of the Han Empire. Wouldn’t it be a pleasure to catch such a lazy black millet and return to work as slaves?

What they don’t know is that the same is black sorghum, but there are still some black sorghum who are very hardworking. Although those industrious black stalks are as small as brains…that is, they have simple minds, but at least they are willing to work. The black molluscs in southern Africa and the black molluscs in eastern Africa belong to the category that can still be saved.

Huan Wen’s plan was defeated. It originally took half a year to build the forward base, but it took nearly a year to look like it.

They delayed for more than half a year, during which they encountered dozens of black tribes united to attack.

For the Han army, there was nothing to show off during the combined attack on the black siege. It was only natural to win the battle, and it would be a loss to eliminate hundreds of black siege, if one person died in the battle.

In the 19th year of Yuan Shuo, Huan Wen left the necessary garrison troops before continuing to lead the fleet to the west.

They did not formally invade the Spanish province of Rome until the spring of that year.

This time there is no longer no Maro garrison. It can even be said that the Romans built magnificent coastal defenses near the strait.

Huan Wen attacked twice in total. He tried to find a frontal attack that was difficult to overcome, and chose a detour later.

The first detour did not lure the Roman navy, and successfully landed in northwestern Portugal very easily, but encountered a very quick counterattack from the Roman army.

Huan Wen chose to retreat to the sea and led the fleet back to the forward base in modern Morocco.

For the second time, Huan Wen led his army and continued to advance westward. The Roman navy appeared. The two sides fought a battle near the Strait of Gibraltar, which is definitely a naval battle for this era.

Of course, the naval battle was the final result of the victory of the expeditionary fleet. Even if the complete annihilation of the Roman navy was not completed, a part of the Roman navy fled back.

Behind the expeditionary fleet landed from the coast of modern Portugal under Huan Wen’s resolution, and once again had a fierce confrontation with the Roman Army on the coast.

The last time the naval guns of the Han army did not show off their power, or even no firearms were thrown into the battlefield. It was just a little trouble, and Huan Wen took the people back to the sea again.

This time, Huan Wen came to www.mtlnovel.com with the determination to make a foothold. He has personally observed the tactical tactics of the Roman Legion and deployed a targeted shelling plan.

It was a kind of sea gunship whose main and secondary guns roared in turn. The tight Roman formation was torn apart in the artillery fire. The more tight the formation, the more deaths and injuries, the more miserable the cruel scene.

It was just a coastal shelling of nearly a thousand doors of varying sizes and calibers. There was no way to deal with the coastal defense base of the permanent fortifications, and there was no difficulty in dealing with flesh and blood.

After the shelling, the landing Han army launched a charge.

It is estimated that the Romans were forced by the shelling and did not escape. The two sides carried out a round of one-sided killings, waiting for the Han army to bring some bronze guns to the land to join the ranks of the shelling, and the troops that Rome could retreat could not be saved. The friendly army fled hastily.

The expeditionary fleet currently controls the Portuguese region and parts of Spain in later generations. More importantly, the Strait of Gibraltar is also controlled by the Han forces, which is equivalent to mastering the only natural strait in the Mediterranean, which is the entrance and exit from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.

In the twenty-fourth year of Yuanshuo, Rome once again sent an envoy to Chang’an. They came to negotiate the terms of the armistice agreement.
