Chapter 392 The Power of Civilization

After all, Solange was also an outstanding person. He quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and entered the market.

The market was tidier than the last time he came.

The flow of people was also greater than before, and he found that wherever there were crowds of people, they were talking about the expansion of the Han army.

Every time he saw a gathering of people, he couldn't help but come forward and listen for a while.

He originally thought that the businessmen and wealthy people in the city would not want to join the army.

But the fact is that both the rich and the poor are actually looking forward to themselves or the men in their families joining the Han army.

Especially when he entered a wine shop owned by Yuezhi people, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

Although he had never met the owner of that wine shop, he had heard of his name.

Such a prominent businessman in the Kushan Kingdom was actually looking forward to his youngest son joining the Han army.

"If my son can join the Han army, I will go to the Duhu Mansion tomorrow to donate money!"

The Yuezhi merchant's words made it difficult for Solange to understand for a moment.

Could it be that there are great benefits to joining the Han army?

Unable to bear it, Solange came to ask a businessman who advocated the Han army.

The businessman looked at Solange as if he were an idiot. Don't you know how valuable the Han army is?

Only then did Solange suddenly remember what he had seen and heard in various countries along the way.

Countries in the Western Regions now have Han academies.

From the princes and nobles of all countries to the common people, they are proud to be admitted to the academy.

Most of the clothes now worn in various countries have been replaced by Hanfu.

People who wear the original costumes of various countries are ridiculed and despised.

When walking in the market, except for a few countries, there are also many people who speak Chinese.

Moreover, this generation often has a high status, and there are many Chinese language learning centers in various countries.

When Solange came to think of this, he felt in a trance, and infinite fear arose in his heart.

He muttered in his mouth, "After a hundred years, the Han civilization will probably be the only one in the world... How should I, Kushan, deal with myself..."

Because of his change in mentality, he had completely different feelings when he looked at everything in the market.

At this time, in his eyes, everything in the market seemed to be a sword slashing at Kushan.

Regardless of the products, Chinese characters, Chinese language, and gorgeous Hanfu, they will all be weapons for the Han Dynasty to attack Kushan in the future.

He forced himself to cheer up and barely walked through the entire market.

When he led a group of people back to the post house, cold sweat had soaked his back.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker.

The followers he sent out to inquire for information gradually returned.

As soon as these people returned to the inn, they immediately informed Solange of what they had seen and heard.

Everyone's inquiries were similar, and Solange was keenly aware that someone among his entourage had already had strange thoughts.

This discovery made him even more wary of big men.

But for a moment, he couldn't figure out how to deal with the big man's soft power.

His personal followers had already discovered that he was mentally disturbed.

He quickly asked, "Is the Prime Minister feeling ill?"

Solange forced a smile and said, "What do you think of this round?"

Everyone on the left and right said with envy, "This place is really the kingdom of God on earth, I hope I can live here forever!"

The words of the crowd once again plunged Solange into silence.

As night fell, Solange climbed up to the high building of the post house.

He looked around and saw that although it was already night, the whole city was still awake.

There are lights everywhere, especially in the direction of Fangshi in the south, which is even brighter.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of a ditty said to be written by Zhang Yue, the supreme commander of the Han army in the Western Regions.

"The east wind blows thousands of trees and flowers at night. It blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMWs and carved cars fill the road with fragrance. The phoenix flutes sound, the jade pots turn with light, and fish and dragons dance all night."

As he recited this poem and looked at the scene in front of him that fascinated him, he suddenly figured it out.

“Is this the power of civilization?”

"This is the most powerful power of the Han Dynasty... If you want to defeat the Han Dynasty, you must first destroy the civilization of the Han Dynasty..."

He couldn't help mumbling to himself.

After a long time, he suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist.

Looking at the sharp blade in his hand, he said softly, "What the Kushan people don't have, the Han people shouldn't have either. One day this Luntai will be destroyed by the Kushan people!"

Solange felt full of strength at this moment.

If you can't get it, destroy it. This is the truth in the world.

He took one last look at the lights around him, then went downstairs without hesitation and returned to the bedroom.

…

Although Zhang Yue, the governor of the Protectorate, appeared not to pay much attention to Solange and his party, in fact, his every move was under the surveillance of Qianniu Guards.

Although Zhang Yue did not know much about the Kushan Empire in later generations, he understood that the Kushan Empire, which could be listed as one of the four great empires, must have its own unique features.

At the second watch, Qianniuwei sent today's information on time.

Zhang Yue carefully read this information and became wary of Solange.

…

Originally, according to the plan, Solangelai and others were to meet with Zhang Yue three days later.

However, on the second day, Solange formally made a request for negotiation to the Western Region Protectorate.

"Mr. Fu, let me leave the matter of Solange and Guishan to your hands!"

Although Zhang Yue accepted Solange's request to negotiate with the Western Region Protector, he did not intend to meet him, but left the matter to Fu Jiezi.

Zhang Yue had more important things to do at this time.

Fu Jiezi heard this and said, "Your Majesty wants to go and camp with your general!"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Yes, the general has produced a magical weapon. How can I not go and take a look!"

Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please go ahead with peace of mind... Your subordinates should handle it properly!"

"Mr. Fu, I would like to ask the Prime Minister of Guishuang to go to the general to camp first!"

Zhang Yue said "Thank you for your hard work" to Fu Jiezi, and then led the people out of the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion and headed for the General's Camp.

After more than ten years of research, Jiang Zuoying finally produced a hydraulic forging press that could be put into practical use.

After receiving the news, Zhang Yue could be said to be ecstatic.

If he hadn't been in a high position for a long time, he would have developed a character that is not surprised by changes. He would not be able to dance with joy.

With the hydraulic forging press, a type of armor that appeared in the late Middle Ages could be released ahead of schedule. This is the plate armor that has been controversial in later generations.

Plate armor, an armor that was eliminated by firearms when it first appeared, has been controversial in history, and the debate about the strongest armor has never stopped.

But Zhang Yue believed that war would only eliminate backward armor.

In the long Middle Ages, after countless wars in the West, Western knights finally chose plate armor. This only shows that the cost performance of plate armor is much higher than that of other armors.

Nowadays, Zhang Yue has no shortage of steel. If he can use hydraulic forging hammers to manufacture plate armor in large quantities, then the Han army in the Western Regions will have a greater equipment advantage.

…

When Zhang Yue arrived at the new camp of Jiangzuo Camp located on the waterfront of Kuqa, Pang Yi was already waiting outside Jiangzuo Camp with a group of middle-aged craftsmen and several followers.

"Junhou, this is Ye Yong, he is the one who made the hydraulic forging hammer!"

Pang Yi took one of the craftsmen and introduced him to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction, "Maybe you will take a look at the hydraulic forging hammer?"

Ye Yong was so nervous that he could not speak when facing Zhang Yue.

Seeing this, Pang Yi could only kick him, and then led Zhang Yue and his party to the location of the hydraulic forging hammer.

The water conservancy forging hammer was quite far away, and the group walked for two quarters of an hour before reaching the location.
