Chapter 4175: This needs to be dealt with carefully
Pang Tong's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Chen Zichuan, are you speaking in human language?
However, Pang Tong himself is evil, so this change in his expression was not noticed by Chen Xi, who even said that Chen Xi was still chirping, "Gong Jin can strangle a Selian to death, and there should be no problem in strangling an Altay to death."
, rich experience.”
Liu Bei's eyes twitched at the corner of his eyes. Fortunately, it was Chen Xi who said this. If someone else said this, Liu Bei would definitely think it was nothing to stir up trouble. That's what Chen Xi said. Liu Bei thought that Chen Xi should be expressing his trust in Zhou Yu's ability, although this trust was somewhat
Outrageous.
"Well, Chen Hou, let's figure it out." Pang Tong calmed down.
"Okay, anyway, the latest information is that Altay has regained its youth. In fact, ever since the changes in the sky and the birth of gods and Buddhas the year before last, the Shuangmi Department has been trying to find a way to extend Altay's life. Finally, they used the extraction technology developed by the Xiumi Department.
The way of the origin of gods and Buddhas made Altay become inner Qi separated from the body." Chen Xi restrained his ridicule and said solemnly.
In the previous generation of Kushan, because it was to lay down the territory, it was almost the same as the founding of the country, so talents emerged in large numbers. Due to the turmoil between the north and the south in the previous generation, a lot of powerful men were cultivated, so overall there was no shortage of generals and schools, and it was very prosperous.
But if we really want to talk about strength, there is no doubt that the previous generation is stronger than the previous generation. Shuangmi's Altay, Xiu Mi's Selian, Kushan's Barkol, and Dasguta are all powerful.
It's just that time is like a knife, urging people to grow old. Even the strong men who laid the foundation of this country were defeated by the years and could only fall on the bed.
Just as Zhou Yu speculated at the time, if Beigui could tolerate Selian's defection, join the South, and establish a navy, at least there would be someone in the army who could compete with Selian, or even be better than him, and this person is Xiumi.
A series of Altay.
Compared to Barkol, a guy like Dasgupta who was able to command an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people like the current Oswin when he was young, but by the time he was in his sixties or almost seventy years old, he had fallen behind the command of a large army.
Altay and Selian, at least in their seventies, still maintained a considerable level of command ability. The former could still command an army of more than 100,000 people.
At best, it's easy to exhaust your energy, leading to the situation where you run out of gas and die before the fight is finished.
In fact, during the Brahasi rescue battle, Altay also came with him. However, because he could not bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling, his old illness relapsed, so he could only rest at Mosuluo. Precisely because he did not participate in the battle in the later period, Altay also escaped.
A cut.
After all, the three veteran generals that Kushan could produce at that time were Altay, Barkol and Dasguta. It is true that Altay, who was more than 70 years old at the time, could continue to command the army relying on experience and judgment, but facing Guan Yu, he was still dead.
.
In terms of ability, Altay, who has reached that level of experience, even if he is weaker than Guan Yu, still maintains the level of commander of a large army, and there is no possibility of being killed indiscriminately.
Just like Khosrow Yin facing Guan Yu, when he has the advantage of troops, as long as his generals obey the command and Khosrow Yin defends and counterattacks, there is nothing Guan Yu can do.
In the previous strong attack, when the three talented school swordsmen took the lead, the battle damage ratio was the same, which shows that to truly reach the commander-in-chief of a large army, as long as you fight steadily, there is actually no good way at the same level. If you can't beat it, you can still rely on your solid foundation to slowly defeat it.
grind.
The Han army has been fighting for ten years since it came out of Yizhou and started the war with Guishang. It has killed two million young soldiers of Guishang. It sounds like a lot, but in fact, according to the natural growth rate,
Two million young men were lost in ten years, but four million men have grown into adulthood in this decade. What is long blood bar? This is long blood bar.
If the Brahmins hadn't successfully captured and cut off the Brahmin kingdoms in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, these were not part of the Kushan Empire, but the Brahmin class could recruit and raise livestock to make up the numbers. It was all a problem for the Han Dynasty, although it was still governed now.
Problem, but it's better than before.
In fact, the three real losses caused by the Han Dynasty to Kushan in recent years were only Baima Yicong's indiscriminate burning of grain in the essence area, which led to the interruption of grain and grass, the capture of Brahmas, and the capture of tens of millions of people by the Han Dynasty.
And Sima Zhang died calmly, destroying the Brahmin class.
The most that is left is the loss of troops. The problem is that the hematopoietic ability of the Kushans is on the same level as that of the Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty moved nearly 10 million people out of the country in the past ten years, it has now returned to nearly 48 million.
level.
Although less than 60 million native residents occupy a land of 30 million, resulting in an average of less than two people per square kilometer, which is really miserable, it is enough to illustrate the hematopoietic ability of the Han Dynasty.
On the other hand, Kuishang actually doesn't care much about the loss of hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops a year. Besides, if the generals and schools are reliable, it is actually difficult for Kushan to lose hundreds of thousands a year. To put it simply, it is
The number of deaths has not increased much.
This is also the reason why Vesudeva I was willing to negotiate peace with the Han Dynasty before, because the loss seemed huge, but really, it was just like that.
Just like the Sui coins of the Song Dynasty, they looked huge, but from the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, the Sui coins were simply the best answer to the problem.
At the time of the Chanyuan Alliance, the original words of Zhenzong recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty were "anything less than one million is allowed", and then ordered Cao Lili to negotiate peace. As a result, after leaving the house, Kou Zhun grabbed Cao Lili and said, "Although there are
"Edict, if the amount you promised to your mother exceeds 300,000, I will kill you if it exceeds 300,000." Then the 300,000 was settled. History records record that Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed and promoted Dongshanggemen Envoy, Zhongzhou Governor, and the title of Capital Master.
Therefore, countries are completely different from each other.
At least for Kushan, the average annual loss of 200,000 people is really just 0.5% added to the natural death rate. Now because the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges were taken away by the Han Dynasty, it is almost equivalent to the natural death rate.
Adding 0.6% seems to be no problem.
This is what is outrageous about big countries, especially in the context of the classical militarism era. To be honest, the mortality rate in wars is not as great as the impact of famine during natural disasters.
This is also what worries Chen Xi and others the most. Defeating an empire is really not something that one generation can accomplish. Chen Xi is already cheating, but it is still difficult to fight.
After all, it is not the era when Guan Yu directly shattered the continental shelf with a single blow and caused tens of millions of casualties in the Yunqi era. Nowadays, if we really have to rely on killing slowly instead of trying to find ways to let Guishuang collapse naturally, even Chen Xi will not be able to annihilate him in a short time.
The empire is not optimistic about this kind of thing.
"The description above makes it seem like this person is difficult to deal with." After reading the internal information report, Pang Tong looked extremely complicated. To be honest, after beating a Selian, Pang Tong didn't want to face anyone close to the top level again.
I'm old, war is really too dangerous.
"It's okay, the strength is not as strong as that of old man Huangfu." Chen Xi looked at Dong Zhao's collection of information, and then replied casually, "After all, he is old. Even if he recovers through special methods, it will only stretch his body and experience.
I came back, and some things are gone."
If Huangfu Song only took the life-extending injection that Hua Tuo specially prepared for him when he was over seventy years old, he probably wouldn't be able to get the reputation of a military god with an old body from Caesar.
The passage of time takes away not only energy, but also mentality and motivation. Although bravery and recklessness are very close on the battlefield, as you get older, your fighting style will tend to be conservative. At least the current Huangfu Song will never do it.
Choose high-speed marching to shred the Yellow Turban like mowing grass.
Although that kind of behavior looks cool, it is really very dangerous, especially since Huangfu Song basically had no reinforcements after he passed Yuzhou. He was just fighting in decisive battles. Once he missed, it would be difficult for others to save him. If it were replaced by the current situation,
Huangfu Song would definitely not do this.
But after Huangfu Song defeated Changshe, he went on various high-speed marches, interspersed with decisive battles, and was able to achieve an astonishing record of defeating the Yellow Turban in seven months.
Speaking from experience, the current Huangfu Song is definitely stronger than himself back then, but if it really comes to a fight, the old Huangfu Song is sure to be stable, but he is definitely not as brave as he was more than 20 years ago. Things like time, sometimes
What was taken away was completely out of proportion to what was left behind.
"Who is better, him or Selian?" Pang Tong pointed to the crux of the problem, please stop telling me those messy things, I just want to understand this.
"When I was young, the army was definitely Altay, and the Selian army was not very good." Chen Xi said casually, "Anyway, they are no match for Gong Jin."
"The Selian Army is not good. When we were in Fusang, we still had the ability to command a large army." Pang Tong sighed and said, "And the younger Altay, even if it is anchored by the level of the Salian Army, it will not be easy to deal with.
"
Chen Xi laughed dryly, but it was difficult to deal with any commander of a large army. In the dream, Chen Xi could defeat him even if he hung up, but in reality, Chen Xi lacked the kind of consciousness that makes one general successful, so Chen Xi could not become
Famous general.
"Okay, then I want to know why Altay hasn't appeared since it has been recovering for so long." Pang Tong said with squinted eyes. Although there was speculation, he still wanted to know some details.
"We are preparing troops." Chen Xiyan explained concisely and comprehensively.
"Guishan brought out all the Da Yuezhi people in the mountainous area who were willing to follow. Although the number they really brought out was only three to four million, you also know the military strength of the Da Yuezhi as a whole-military service. It doesn't count.
The elderly and children are all soldiers, but soldiers are soldiers and need to be rectified." Then Chen Xi felt that Pang Tong might have misunderstood him by saying this, so he added a few more sentences.
Chen Xi meant Mohu, but Pang Tong had already figured out what he actually meant.
"The Great Yueshi are also solving problems under their rule. When the Sima family was solving the problem of the Brahmins, they probably never thought that Vesutiva I would move the entire Great Yueshi into the essence of the Ganges, right?" Pang Tong looked complicated.
said.
Sima Zhang's on-the-spot attack on the street really stung the Brahmins, causing the whole of Nangui to fall into turmoil. This turmoil made it impossible for Kushan's complete social division of labor to be fully utilized.
To put it simply, in the Brahmin system, there are Vaishyas who specialize in making chariots. In Nangui, there is no turmoil. If Kushan needs chariots, he only needs to give an order, and there will be a steady stream of chariots.
produced.
Some Vaishyas make crossbars, some Vaishyas make wheel hubs, some Vaishyas make frames, and some Vaishyas splice them. Because of the detailed social division of labor, the efficiency is actually quite good.
The only problem is accuracy, which is of little significance on this kind of product.
The manufacturing method of later Indian warships was also based on this division of labor. Its ability to be built shows that the functionality of this social division of labor is no problem, but the accuracy is life-threatening...
Of course, in the third century, this kind of social division of labor was definitely the most high-end and most effective method in the world. It was basically comparable to the assembly lines of the Han Dynasty and the large-scale workshops of Rome, and even had advantages in some aspects.
However, Sima Zhang stabbed Nangui's social division of labor to a standstill with one stab in the back. How could you operate without Brahmin management?
Some Brahmins even went offline, and a certain corresponding link was also offline. It was not that the Vaishyas who were working were gone, but that the management was not in place and the Vaishyas were unable to work.
For example, if a plan to build a car is issued, it originally requires the cooperation of fifty local Vaishyas. Among them, several Vaishyas must have gone to other places due to turmoil, and a few cannot be delivered because they have to do other things. The rest
All kinds of problems have arisen due to the social shutdown.
In this situation, what could Vesudeva I do? If it hadn't been for the separation between the Northern and Southern nobles, Vesudeva I's decrees would not have been implemented outside the palace.
This is also the reason why Sima Zhang chose to die suddenly. I don’t care what your secret skills are. I am a high-ranking Brahmin and died like this. It is always a fact. You don’t care whether I have evil intentions or not!
In short, there is no solution to this matter if you die!
Originally, this matter was indeed unsolvable. No matter how much Vesudeva I tried to fix it, it would not be possible to recover, because there were not enough managers anyway. Unless we continued to use the previous Brahmins, but if we continued to use the previous Brahmins, then Vesuthiva would not be able to recover.
Everything Deva did in this life was nothing.
Not to mention that the previous Brahmins are still blaming each other, so if you want to restore the entire country's bureaucratic management system, you must introduce new management.
When Sima Zhang died, he estimated that the management would be the Han Dynasty that was pushed over from the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River and gradually stabilized. However, after Vesutiva I moved the entire Northern Gui family, he directly used the Yuezhi to manage the Southern Gui family.
To be honest, this kind of approach would never have been possible before. It was impossible for a Brahmin to let the Great Yuezhi ride on his neck. When he could not defeat the Great Yuezhi at all, he relied on other methods to fight against the Great Yuezhi and retained his position.
Half of India is covered by the Brahminical system.
But now the Brahmins have too much time to take care of themselves, so Vesutiva I took Bankim's righteousness to reshape the Brahmins, and gave the great Yueshi powerful canonization of nobles and nobles to fill the vacancies in the management.
