There was no problem with Rome's behavior in Liu Bei's view. After all, during the period of peace, the Han Dynasty did a lot to add obstructions there. There were only so many countries in the world. Rome wanted money and the Han Dynasty wanted land. The two sides were a perfect match.
Besides, Rome sent people to Kushan, not to mention selling some military supplies to Kushan. The Han Dynasty had nothing to say. After all, the empire has been like this since ancient times. What can you do to others? Beat them? Are you kidding?
If you want to fight early, you have to start fighting. This is not impossible. You still have to do the business that needs to be done.
"Isn't the current focus of Rome on the Atlantic side?" Liu Bei remembered certain things very clearly and asked casually.
The Han Dynasty knew that Rome spent a lot of money on the Atlantic Ocean. They had no choice. The Romans wanted to eat sugar, but the climate of the Mediterranean could not grow the Han Dynasty's sugar cane. If the Han Dynasty's sugar cane was grown, it would become
The livers of Romans were shattered when the reed pole was broken.
This problem also existed in Africa, so the Romans took the sea route to find places where they could grow sugar cane. However, the environment on the Atlantic side was relatively harsh. It is not clear whether the Romans had recently gone to South America.
I have to mention here that because the earth is a ball, the North African region of Rome's homeland is actually several kilometers closer to Brazil than to the Caribbean Sea. This is also the reason why European navigators in the early days went to South America first. On the one hand
It's smooth sailing, and it's also close.
However, the shipbuilding technology of the Romans was about the same as that of the Han Dynasty ten years ago. The shipbuilding technology of the Han Dynasty came from seven hundred years ago, while that of Rome came from about five hundred years ago.
After all, the Han Dynasty had Chen Xi cheating, and its potential quickly exploded in terms of relatively easy-to-copy technology, but Rome had a headache. A ship that could run in the Mediterranean did not mean it could run in the Atlantic, so the Romans needed
New navigation technology and new warships.
The Han Dynasty didn't care about this, because the distance between the Han Dynasty and Rome was really painful, and the relationship between the two parties was quite harmonious. Therefore, the Han Dynasty gave Rome some foundation for shipbuilding technology, but compared to
Due to the great advancement of the Han Dynasty, Rome finally copied the turbine and keel, and finally decided to copy the rest from Kushan.
After all, there are still some differences between the technology of the Han Dynasty and the technology of the Kushan Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was obviously a little confused, but the details of the Kushan Dynasty were very complete. If the Romans wanted to upgrade, they naturally found a good one to copy, and added
Following Masinde's original proposal to Selian, the Romans directly sent an observation team to Kushan's warships to learn and absorb Kushan's technology and knowledge.
To put it simply, the Han Dynasty and the Kushans were fighting to the death and struggling to advance, while the Romans picked up what they had ready-made.
But there is nothing to say about this. This has always been the case in imperial wars. If the Romans are strong enough, they are qualified to take advantage of them. If they are too weak and dare to have such covetous thoughts, they may not be killed on the spot.
"Probably still struggling in the Atlantic Ocean. I heard that the boat capsized several times. I don't know what the situation is, but I guess it's not a big problem." Chen Xi thought for a while and replied.
When the feudal empire was at its peak, its executive power and national strength were not inferior to those of junk industrial countries. Therefore, although the Atlantic Ocean is wide, if Rome insists on going there to see it, to be honest, Rome can find a way to get there without the technology provided by Kushan. So this is
A matter of time.
"Speaking of which, after Kushan, do we need to adjust our diplomacy with Rome?" Zhao Yun asked solemnly after eating the meat from the bones.
"No need, the Han Dynasty will definitely pass by then. If we rely on the feudal state, the most we can do is blood transfusion, even to the Yuan family, which is currently the strongest." Chen Xi waved his hand and said lazily.
Yuan Tan's current performance is indeed very amazing, but it is useless. Yuan Tan has too few chess pieces that can serve as the backbone. There is indeed no shortage of combat power in the middle and lower levels, but the lack of the upper level has reduced the overall combat effectiveness of the Yuan family.
Big question.
If Yuan Tan currently has the luxurious civil servants and generals that Yuan Shao had in the middle period, even if he cannot defeat Rome, with the will and belief that Yuan Tan has shown now, it is basically impossible for Rome to kill Yuan.
It's a pity that this is impossible. The battle between Yuan and Liu happened at that point. If Chen Xi didn't kill a group of Yuan family's main force, then the battle of Dingding in the north might not end until five or six years. By then, the essence of the whole north would be
The district will be destroyed, and there will really be no way to recover by then.
What's more, the battle of Dingding in the north will last for five or six years, so it will take more time to defeat Cao Sun. By that time, not so many people will die, and it will be impossible to suppress the general trend of the world and let them follow Chen Xi's plan.
Went out.
Chen Xi believes in a saying that the best way to predict the future is to actually create the future yourself.
After all, if you don't create it yourself and just rely on prediction, accidents will inevitably happen. Therefore, even if Chen Xi is prepared for the super sect Yuezu to fight out early in the morning, he still has a rough idea of the future direction, but after facing an uncertain direction, he makes a decisive choice
It’s up to you to create the future.
After all, it is better to rely on the intelligence to collect and judge than to rely on your own skills to create. At least when the latter is done, you have to be mentally prepared for what consequences will occur and how to correct the leaks.
"In this case, there won't be any major changes in our diplomacy with Rome in the short term. After all, the Yuan family and Rome are struggling like this, and there is no reaction from Rome." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, he was not satisfied with Rome's system.
I always thought it was outrageous.
"It's not that Rome didn't respond, but for Rome, these losses are nothing at all." Chen Xi shook his head and said, in the Roman system, citizens were the backbone, non-citizens, barbarians, and slaves only fought for the citizens.
exist.
Six million citizens, barbarians and slaves are six or seven times as many as citizens. On average, from a national perspective, for each citizen, it is equivalent to six or seven employees per citizen.
Not to mention the semi-slave and semi-feudal society, these people can be used to death. Take now, for an ordinary person, there are six or seven people who follow your blind orders, move bricks when you are told, and fight when you are told.
Employees don't need to be used to death like in feudal society. Everyone contributes half of your income every month, and you can live a good life.
This is why citizens can raise their own weapons and equipment, as well as their own war horses. This is also why under the Roman citizen system, even if taxes were increased, all citizens only scolded the emperor for being crazy, but strongly supported the citizen system because of their
Taxes can be passed on to others.
This is also the reason why after Caracalla issued an order to grant citizenship to everyone, not only the original citizens rebelled, but also the barbarians and slaves.
Because what the barbarians and slaves want from citizens is the kind that on the surface is just a citizen title, but in fact it exploits more than 85% of the people in the entire country and provides less than one-tenth of the remaining people.
perfect benefits.
This is also the reason why the Roman emperor found that his ruling class was crumbling after having a reference, because this method was too unstable. Of course, if the upward path is clear, like Severus, in this method, barbarians and slaves
They are also very motivated.
Who doesn't want to live like this? But the problem is that the number of citizens Rome can support is limited, unless the citizenship status of some people is eliminated to allow the system to flow.
But if it moves, it means disturbing the civil system, and if the civil system is disturbed, it is basically finished. This is Rome's Achilles' heel, and what Rome is currently doing in Eastern Europe is to thin out the elite among the barbarians, and to free up additional resources.
The location of some citizens.
Yes, the positions of citizens are also being vacated. Although it is not much, it is true.
This is also the reason why the war in Eastern Europe cannot end, because Rome has realized the fact that it seems that their system can continue as long as they fight.
"Actually, I have a question I wanted to ask before." Gan Ning didn't care too much after listening to Chen Xi's narration. His thoughts were actually mainly on Kushan.
"What's the problem?" Chen Xi picked up a piece of meat, then turned his head and asked.
"There are so many Roman barbarians in Kushan. Will they really return to Rome in the future?" Gan Ning has a good vision, enough strategic thinking and adventurous spirit, and he can get ideas when he has an idea, plus he can think about it blindly.
There are many strange conclusions, but in essence this guy is still a second haha, even though he belongs to the king of haha!
"What are you worried about?" Zhang Fei looked at Gan Ning in confusion and asked.
"What should we do about moving the capital of Guishuang?" Gan Ning looked at Zhang Fei and asked.
"Didn't they just move the capital?" Zhang Fei had not yet reacted.
"You wouldn't say that the Kushans moved directly to Africa." Chen Xi pressed his temple and asked. He really hadn't considered this kind of question. This question is ridiculous, but if you think about the Guishan's shipping capacity carefully, it can be said that it can
Later generations built cities in Indonesia and Malay territories, and even reached Rome.
"Why is it impossible?" Gan Ning looked at Chen Xi and asked, "When I was chasing Meng Kangbu near Australia, I was thinking about a question. Have those Kushan people been to Africa? They are now
They are at the beginning of their ****, they are the weakest, but if they run away by boat..."
Chen Xi pressed his temples. This is really a trouble. If you think about it this way, if the Wu family can go to Africa, maybe Zhu He will come and let those guys go. If you think about it again, the wise men of Guishang will
The grand strategy seems to be pretty good.
With Kuishang's shipping capacity, well, let alone Kushan. With India's shipping capacity, it is not too difficult to transport millions of people to Africa. However, the Han Dynasty's invasion of Kushan is now very smooth. Kushan
If you go to the middle of the African continent and survive for twenty years, you will really die.
As for the African beasts and so on, unless those things become spirits, they will never be able to defeat Kushan. Kushan is also an empire after all. ()
