Wang Miaoyin murmured: "Ansa, Ansa? I have never heard of it. Are you saying that just like the names of tribes like Xiongnu and Xianbei, they were two tribes called Angles and Saxons who conquered these Western countries?"
Are you barbarizing your original country?"
Liu Yu sighed: "During the Han Dynasty, we once passed through the Western Regions, and then went westward from the Western Regions to Daxia where Da Yueshi was located, then westward to Daxia, and reached the Parthian Empire. You know this.
Well, it is also recorded in our history books."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "I have seen these, and it is said that the Han envoys heard in An'an that there was a powerful empire thousands of miles west of An'an, called Da Qin, right? This Da Qin was still in the Later Han Dynasty.
, sent envoys to pay tribute to the Later Han Dynasty."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Our history books will call all the countries and forces that send envoys tribute. This is the mentality of our Central Plains dynasty, Lao Tzu, who is the best in the world. In fact, to change the way of thinking, the Han envoy Zhang Qian came out
To envoy the Great Yuezhi, could it be that we, the Han, were also paying tribute to the Great Yuezhi?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled and waved her hand: "We all understand that this is just to save face. The culture of the Central Plains has always been to pursue the suit of barbarians from all over the world, even if they come from far away. There is no need to worry about this. I heard that Da Qin is only 20,000 to 30,000 people away from us.
Is it true that it is so far away?"
Liu Yu nodded: "That's right. Da Qin is just a name we give randomly in the Central Plains. It is not their real name. Their real name is the Roman Empire. They once established a vast empire with an area of thousands of miles and a population of tens of millions.
This super empire, in terms of scale and population, is not inferior to our Central Plains dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, it was also a great world empire that rose to prominence in the West."
Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "I know that the Great Qin, well, in your words, it is called Rome, is a very powerful empire, and even Anxi is in awe of it, so how could such a large empire give such things to the Anglo-Saxons?
Have the pirates been conquered?"
Liu Yu sighed: "It's a long story. Time is running out now. We don't have time to review history here. You just need to think about it. Our Central Plains dynasty has a long history and strong national power. During the Western Jin Dynasty, it once seemed like a barbarian.
Binfu is invincible in the world, with a large population and a vast territory. How could it be that in just a few years, the Yongjia Rebellion allowed the Wuhu to take over? Until now, the north is still occupied by the barbarians."
Wang Miaoyin frowned: "That's because of our internal struggle for power and the Eight Kings Rebellion, which allowed the barbarians to sneak in. Could it be that the Roman Empire also fell like this?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Absolutely. When the Roman Empire was strong, the people were warlike and proud to sacrifice their lives for the country. But after hundreds of years, they were arrogant, extravagant, greedy for life and afraid of death. They were no match for those in our era.
Scholars and nobles all hated soldiers, and military households almost became inferior slaves. Even Huan Wen would be laughed at by his fellow disciples for being a veteran. Otherwise, how could a noble family lose its military power? Let us Qiu Ba
What’s the chance of rising to the top?”
Wang Miaoyin sighed: "It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and to be lazy and comfortable. In troubled times, only joining the army can protect one's family and life. As time goes by, the status of soldiers will naturally be reduced. This is a fact that has been difficult to change throughout the ages. It seems that Rome
The empire cannot escape this fate. Brother Yu, the system in which military honors are reduced on behalf of others, and non-nobles do not serve as officials, is probably to prevent this situation from happening again."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "This is a topic for later, let's not mention it for now, let's get back to business. In the later stage of the Roman Empire, no one wanted to join the army, so they had to recruit troops from the barbarian tribes in the empire on a large scale. Oh, by the way, I forgot. I told you, there are many barbarians in this Roman Empire, and speaking of it, they have something to do with us Han people!"
Wang Miaoyin was a little surprised: "What does this have to do with us Han people? They are tens of thousands of miles away, and there is no record of the Roman Empire or the Qin Dynasty in the history books."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Do you still remember the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu? Starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's official counterattack against the Xiongnu, the Han-Hungarian War lasted for hundreds of years until the Western Han Dynasty became the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Dou Xiancai went north to conquer the Northern Huns. , sealing the wolf to Juxu, completely expelled the Xiongnu forces from the Mobei grassland. The Xiongnu royal tribes moved all the way westward without a trace. It was also during this period that the Xianbei tribes, especially the Tuoba clan, came from the bitter cold north of Liaodong. Those who moved westward and entered Mobei, how dare they do this if the Xiongnu Khanate is still there?"
Wang Miaoyin laughed: "Yes, where did the Xiongnu escape to? This is an unsolved mystery in history. On one side, barbarians from all walks of life entered the Central Plains. By the Western Jin Dynasty, the five southern Xiongnu tribes were moved to Bingzhou as a whole. Guanzhong was divided equally between Han and Qiang, which eventually led to the Five Huns' chaos in China. On the other hand, after the Northern Huns moved westward, no news came from them, and they seemed to have disappeared in the long river of history. Do you want to say that the Northern Huns In the end, he actually wandered all the way to the Roman Empire and became a barbarian in their territory?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "You are half right. In Mobei, to the Western Regions, and then to the river, there are vast grasslands with a radius of thousands of miles. On these grasslands, there are also thousands of nomadic tribes, large and small. After the Northern Huns moved westward, the specific history is unknown, but a hundred years after they moved westward, a tribe named the Huns suddenly appeared in the eastern grasslands of the Roman Empire. The Huns' approach was almost exactly the same, forcing numerous nomadic tribes on the grasslands within thousands of miles to be unable to gain a foothold and had no choice but to flee into the Roman Empire. Oh, by the way, the collective name of these tribes is German, just like us These nomadic tribes on the grassland are collectively called Xiongnu."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "I kind of understand it. Just like the Southern Huns were attacked by the Northern Huns and were unable to gain a foothold in Monan. Later, they were threatened by Xianbei again, so they simply asked to be protected in the Central Plains and became subjects of Cao Wei. This Rome The empire also took in the German tribes that were attacked by the Huns, oh, no, they were attacked by the Huns, and entered the empire. It happened that the Romans did not want to be soldiers, so they let these Germans join the army as soldiers. Just like the Eight Kings During the rebellion, the imperial court ordered Liu Yuan to return to the five Xiongnu tribes to recruit troops to quell the rebellion?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Yes, Rome will also face the attack of the Huns. The Roman army at this time alone will not be able to deal with the Huns cavalry coming and going like the wind. You know, even the emperor of the Han Dynasty had to fight against the Huns when he first encountered them. With the shame of Baideng, the Roman legion, which was also dominated by chariots and infantry, was also unable to defeat the Huns' cavalry. Later, it relied on the support of the Germanic tribes to barely win. The Huns retreated in defeat and began to fight again. Disappeared into the grassland."
