India in this era cannot be said to be unified. Just like India before the East India Company, it was in a state of pan-rule. They were governed by a complete Brahmanical doctrine, but they themselves were divided into many countries.
However, one thing that is more reliable than most of the time after that is that the strength of Kushan during this period is that even the small countries in these pan-ruling areas in the south cannot be defeated together, so it is not wrong to call it a unified state.
It is not that the Kushans do not have the ability to unify these places, nor is it a problem that the Kushans will be dragged to death due to lack of output if they occupy this area.
In fact, if we really want to say it, we can only say that the Brahmins were at fault. In addition, there was serious internal quarrel in Kushan. The previous generations of emperors did not have the courage. They were partly compromising, and partly under the whitewash of peace by the Brahmins, they took advantage of the east of Brahmas.
It's just a wasteland and the ancient Indian countries are left alone.
Of course, this area is basically equivalent to the Brahmin private land. The national system, tax management, etc. are all carried out by the Brahmin side. Although the northern nobles are particularly unhappy about this, they are indeed beyond their reach. In addition, the Kushan Essence Area,
One-third of the output is taken away directly by them without having to deal with anything. Overall, it is quite harmonious.
Having said that, this is also the reason why the northern Kushans are still able to survive well despite the poor mountains and rivers. It is also an important reason why the northern and southern Kushans can generally survive despite great friction.
This is also why after the northern nobles based in Khwarezm and the Khorasan region split, they began to hammer the nobles to peace. Later, they were easily pushed aside by Ardashir, and then even beat the nobles all the way.
An important cause of frost.
Because the northern part of Kushan is basically a desert, Gobi, mountainous area, with barren mountains and rivers, and mainly plateaus. The environment is as bad as Liangzhou. It is said that barren mountains and rivers breed unruly people, and this is also the case in Kushan.
Of course, this kind of harsh environment is more likely to give birth to strong soldiers. Before Bei Kuishang was divided, the main thing he did every year was to keep an eye on the output of the southern elite area, no matter what it was, such as food, cloth, armor, weapons, money, etc.
Dried meat, anything will do, just take a third of it.
After these things were taken away, everyone in Bei Guishang was divided, and then the people below were shocked. This year has passed like this. I don’t know whether Yan Gaozhen did it on purpose or what happened. What was transferred in the south was directly physical goods and money.
Not much.
This resulted in the military nobles in the north being greedy even if they wanted to. Gold, gems, and money could be taken away, but armor, weapons, cloth, and grain were meaningless unless they were resold, and grain was never a problem in Kushan.
question.
As a result, most of the nobles in the northern part of Kushan were only given out money and treasures. The grain was not worth the money and they were distributed. The cloth was not distributed depending on the situation. The armor and weapons were the same as those of the Han Dynasty. No one dared to touch them, so they were distributed. However,
After the news spread, they were heartbroken, so the military nobles in the northern part of Kushan had nothing to do to deal with the soldiers under their command.
In addition, there is really nothing that can be done in the north. Most places can't even afford soil. If you are a soldier, you will not be able to take care of anything else, so in fact, adult men in northern Kushan are basically soldiers. This is why the south and north
After so many frictions, they basically couldn't defeat the north.
In fact, when Fulward and others attacked Li Jue angrily, and the battle was like that, the army basically did not flee, which is enough to show the quality of these soldiers in the north.
It is not that Kushan cannot be defeated in history. On the contrary, judging from the performance of the three eastern Parthian nobles when they first faced the group of Kushan separatists in Khwarezm, the three nobles representing one-third of Parthia's strength were suppressed.
Hammer, you will know that the northern part of Kushan is actually very capable of fighting.
And being hung up by Aldashir later, it can only be said that these people have no money and no food. Before the split, they had nothing to do except recruit the villains from the poor mountains and rivers in the north and train them into professional soldiers.
, the remaining time is to scold the Brahmins in the court for being mentally retarded traitors, and then the other side needs to allocate one-third of the output of the southern Kushan area to the north.
Although they have to fight for this output every year, at least hundreds of people are killed or wounded, and at most one or two legions are destroyed, but the north successfully obtains this thing every year. After all, this is an ancestral system, even the Kushan Emperor.
An ancestral system of identity.
It is precisely because of these outputs that the northern part of Kushan does not have to worry about logistical supplies, that all the people can be soldiers, and that the southern part of Kushan can be attacked every year, and there is basically no chance of failure.
However, the short-sighted northern Kushan nobles split first in history, and then Wrath Hammer Anxi, which had great momentum to annex Anxi, ended up being unable to succeed.
In the past, when there were money bags in the south, the northern military nobles did not pay attention to these things at all. Is food a problem for Kushan, which owns the essence of the Ganges and the essence of the Indus, the most fertile land in the world? Not at all.
Unfortunately, after the split, these non-issues came up again. Although the northern nobles later turned around, the then Emperor Vesudeva II, named Bo Diao, had changed his mind and did not know that only the north had taken over the south.
In terms of money, food and supplies, they, Kushan, were the first-class empire, but they were delayed and were directly killed by Aldashir.
If the northern and southern Kushans merge into one, even if there is a conflict, they will be a first-rate empire. Even as long as the south gives supplies to the north and allows the northern military camp covering more than three million square kilometers to operate, the Kushans will have the combat effectiveness of a first-rate empire.
Because the soldiers in the northern part of Kushan are more clear than those in the Han Dynasty. They don't need to farm. There is no place for farming there. You only need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!
Having said that, the hidden danger of Kushan is also this. The north is not engaged in production, but takes everything from the southern elite area, and also beats the south. No one can stand it.
Naturally, under such circumstances, if outsiders attacked the Brahmin private lands west of the Brahmas, the northern nobles might even close their doors and applaud.
But if we cross the Brahgas line, the entire Kushan will be in turmoil, and even the northern nobles will directly start the indiscriminate mode, because one-third of all output west of this city comes from their north.
And the east of this city has nothing to do with them.
What's more, once the attack reaches there, the Brahmins will go to heaven, and there is no way to whitewash it. At that time, no matter what the Brahmins say, it will be useless. I am afraid that the northern nobles will even attack those who stopped them, and they will come to stop them themselves.
In this case, not only was it useless to defend Kalanasuvarasana, but it was also a mistake. If Durga and her men did not want to die, they would have to retreat desperately and set up a line of defense in front of Brahmas.
Because if there falls, the northern nobles are really not afraid of a large-scale internal purge, and Guo Jia firmly believes that the other party will not seek death.
Of course, the main point is that there is no point in seeking death. As a pan-ruling area, just like the grassland to the north of the Han Dynasty, there are no roads and roads everywhere. As long as the luggage is sufficient, there is no chance of being cut off by others.
This is what the back road says.
As for the only problem of food shortage, to be honest, with the rich storage of cities like Kushan, according to Guo Jia's estimation, looting any city can solve the problem.
"In this case, it's not impossible, it's just that here in Samajima City..." Wang Lei couldn't help but glance at Chen Chi, who seemed to be fine.
"Don't worry, it's too late when he evacuates." Guo Jia said with a smile, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Gongxi stay here in Samajima. Although the straight-line distance between the two sides is only three hundred miles, they are retreating.
We don’t have time, so it’s very possible to leave a small force to harass us. After all, this distance, without cavalry, is just disgusting.”
When Wang Lei and Huang Quan heard this, they nodded silently and didn't say anything in the end. Indeed, although the Han army left, they must have had spies left. If Durga had too many troops left, they might only be used to attack the enemy.
As the Han army gains more victories, its own military strength will also shrink.
The few left behind are of little value, and the final option is probably to gather a small group of troops to carry out destruction in the area of Samao and Zha City. This is a disgusting choice for the Han army.
"Don't worry. In fact, this is just a way of thinking. After all, we are a fake city, and there will definitely be times when we miss. Even if the other party goes around and is slower than us, they can still get in front of us. Kushan will never
Maybe we can successfully deceive the city all the way." Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "If this kind of thing happens, it can only be said that destiny lies with the Han Dynasty."
When Xu Shu and others heard this, they turned their heads speechlessly. Indeed, in this case, Durga's retreat was the best option to stop the loss. Instead of retreating, once the Han army was lucky enough to invade the essence of Kushan.
, then Durga will inevitably die except for treason.
"That's it, I'll inform Lidas now." After listening to Guo Jia's summary, Guan Yu also understood that the overall situation was basically doomed, so he spoke.
"How powerful~" Lidas stopped thinking silently. The sense of power conveyed by Guan Yu's stalwart back made him, a believer, feel the irresistible power. "God Jialan, your believers are willing to offer sacrifices to you."
everything."
"Lidas." Just when Lidas was silently reciting the call of Jialan God, Lidas suddenly heard the summons of Jialan God. Lidas fell to the ground on the spot, and after humbly saluting, he respectfully replied, "Honored God, your humble believer, please come at any time.
On standby."
"I'll give you a mission." Guan Yu's cold voice was conveyed to Lida's mind. In other words, it would be impossible to have such a big signal source as Lida. Otherwise, Guan Yu would not be able to accurately transmit the message to Lida without leaving the main account.
S.
"Follow the oracle." Lidas replied humbly.
"Stand up." Guan Yu didn't like that a master with the ultimate strength of internal energy separation could be so humble, so he didn't tell Lidas about the mission, but asked Lidas to stand up.
