It sounds like a lot of nonsense for a captive to be able to live in the palace city of the country that captured his own side, but such a thing really happened to Li Ming.
Li Ming was not blindfolded on the way to Fahrenheit, and was able to fully observe the place of the Gupta Dynasty, what he saw was a country with a not bad degree of civilization, and there were distinct classes in society, but the social class did not make the Gupta Dynasty show its dire side, on the contrary, the nobles enjoyed all kinds of privileges with peace of mind, and those who were classified as untouchables also fulfilled their responsibilities as untouchables.
If it was in the Central Plains Dynasty, the vast majority of the groups lived in a state of oppression at all times, no matter how strong the dynasty's force was, the outbreak of civil uprisings in various places was absolutely frequent.
Such frequent popular uprisings will inevitably bring down the dynasty, and either a new family will become the supreme ruler, or a foreign race will take advantage of the situation to enter the Central Plains and replace it.
The Ignohs are not even human, and the majority of the Dalit brothers are convinced of suffering in this life and enjoying happiness in the next life, and they only regard it as a practice.
Li Ming felt the need to write down what he had seen and heard, but he had this idea but suffered from not being literate, so he had to give up.
In the Central Plains Dynasty, it was not a miracle that the literacy rate was low, knowledge was in the hands of a few, and there were not many ways to obtain knowledge.
It is the same situation in any country, where knowledge is monopolized by a small number of people, and more people are tried to prevent it from acquiring it, so that those who previously possessed knowledge can consolidate their vested interests.
To say that the knowledge of the Central Plains Dynasty was monopolized by the families and clans, the knowledge of the Gupta Dynasty was more clearly divided.
What kind of caste class on the Gupta Dynasty can learn what knowledge, for example, although Brahmins can learn everything, Brahmins are more inclined to the study of management; Kshatriyas, on the other hand, focus on military techniques, and are divided into two types: individual force and "ten thousand enemies"; Vaishyas, on the other hand, will learn some knowledge of how to run and trade because of the relationship between the main business; The Shudra is here to learn how to serve people, and how to serve his master comfortably is the main thing.
If you are a discerning person, as long as you observe the social structure of the Gupta Dynasty, you will find that the Gupta Dynasty has formed a solidification, and at the same time, because of the influence of the sect and religion, it is actually difficult to break out any civil strife, and the phenomenon of the destruction of the country will only be the conquest of foreign forces.
About half a month after arriving in Fahrenheit, Li Ming was surprised to find that his comrades had been released, and he himself had been taken out of Miyagi and visited a family manor with the surname Yadu.
Fahrenheit is an ancient city, and its overall environment is not unlike that of many countries, with nobles, commercial districts, slums, and some high-caste families can also have large tracts of land on the outskirts of the city, usually built into manors.
Yadu is a tall surname on Ah San's side, rumored to be a descendant of a certain god, and the owner of the manor is the finance minister of the Gupta dynasty, and the full name is a bit long, called Singh Ai Wei Rui Na Yadu.
The manor that was arranged to house Li Ming and some other Han Chinese was one of the many manors in Singh Aiwei Na Yadu.
When they arrived, they saw an elegantly built manor house, with a Greek style and a vast wooded garden, with fountains as the main part of the garden.
There were a large number of servants in the manor, and Li Ming learned that he had the right to give any orders to those servants, but he was subject to the supervision of the manor guards, and he could not leave the manor.
Or Kapil Marik, who is the liaison, doesn't know for what reason, and bluntly said to Li Ming: "Any order includes letting them die." ” Li Ming saw not only the dark-skinned Ah San, but also some people who were obviously from Central Asia, some bewitching Persian women and Arab women, and even white-skinned and blond-haired Greek women.
"You can enjoy it to your heart's content."
Kapil Marik knew that Li Ming didn't understand what was going on, and he didn't mind giving some reminders: "We are already assembling our fleet, and the outcome of the next naval battle will determine your fate." ” Speaking of which, nearly three months have passed since Li Ming and the others were captured, and the second fleet from the mainland to the front line without mistakes has been put in place.
Obviously, the Gupta dynasty had also discovered that things were not simple, and the number of Han ships found was not small, and the Han also established a stronghold on the western coast outside the territory of the Pyu Kingdom.
What Li Ming didn't know was what the situation of the two sides was in Haishan, or whether there were any communication channels established between the two sides.
He prefers not to establish a channel of communication, perhaps because the Gupta dynasty has always treated him well not only because of social customs, but also because of the intention to win over and soften him, making him himself a bridge of communication "You're not mistaken."
Kapil Marik did not deny it, saying: "We tried again and again, but each time it didn't work.
We need a window of dialogue, and you, who already know us somewhat, will be able to avoid this war that may not be necessary."
The Gupta dynasty has not yet figured out why the Han Chinese, who have re-established themselves in the east, are coming to start a war, the two sides are too far away and too far away, and there is no entanglement at all, let alone any conflict of interest.
They don't want an inexplicable war, but they are not afraid of war, and they plan to gather enough fleets to fight, and the victory and defeat will use different strategies to deal with the Han State.
Li Ming already knew that the Gupta Dynasty was not an uncivilized and backward civilization, but he despised Ah San's lack of blood, obviously the sea trade routes had been broken to the point that the two sides had actually entered a state of war, but Ah San still wanted to think about whether it was necessary to have a war that had actually broken out, and he had to be surprised what was going on with Ah San's brain circuit.
Ah San is a magical people, whether it is ancient or modern, often makes some inexplicable behaviors, and the attitude of dealing with things is usually unusual, so he has the spirit of being cheated thousands of times and still not changing.
That's right, it's the stuffy bear Seeing that Li Ming was in a daze, Kapil Marik said as if he was joking: "Do you know why you left the palace because we have carefully explored the historical materials and found that you Han people have a hobby of entering his king's palace to assassinate, but you didn't do that." ” Li Ming didn't know what Kapil Marik meant by the joke at all, and the first thing he wanted was the famous Jing Ke assassinating King Qin.
However, what Kapil Marik is talking about is not Jing Ke's assassination of the king of Qin, it is that after the Han people appeared in the Western Regions, they repeatedly killed dozens of people who dared to rush into his palace, read a non-existent crusade edict, and then kill the king of this country.
The Gupta Dynasty has not been sitting around in the past few months, they are trying to find out as much as possible about the East, the first thing they do is to send people to the Western Regions to see if the Han people have marched into the Western Regions again, it is obvious that there are really Han troops re-entering the Western Regions, but they just stop at Shanshan.
The news of Ah San's exploration of the Han Kingdom has attracted the attention of many people, among whom the Sassanid Empire is the most concerned, and those countries in the Western Regions have inevitably added some firewood and salary after knowing about it.
After all, the rise of the Han Kingdom again, the most nervous are the countries of the Western Regions.
The people of the Western Regions did a good job, they told the Han people all kinds of bad deeds and great achievements, and when necessary, they had to exaggerate and embellish them, describing the Han people as an extremely barbaric people who had no reason to talk about, and there was nothing more barbaric than the Han people daring to rush into a king's palace and kill the king.
Li Ming is not a son of a family, before the establishment of the Han State, he was a common man who was arbitrarily bullied by the Hu people, and after he went out of his house thirty miles away or became a Han soldier, although he received some education in the army, no one would explain the history in detail.
"Dozens of people dare to rush into a king's palace and shout the battle cry to kill the king of the enemy country" Chai Xiong immediately grinned and said, "It sounds very exciting" Kapil Marik couldn't understand Chinese, because Li Ming already knew some Sanskrit and didn't bring an interpreter, but he didn't think it was a good thing to see Chai Xiong's demeanor.
Twenty-six Han Chinese were imprisoned by the Gupta dynasty, including thirteen sergeants and the others were sailors.
They were more or less tortured after they were captured, but there was no attrition.
Before they reunited with Li Ming, twelve sergeants were placed in the Gupta garrison camp and practiced daily with Gupta soldiers.
The other twelve sailors, who had been in captivity.
The officials of the Gupta Dynasty used the sergeants of the Han army to train, just to see the combat effectiveness of the Han people, and they did see that the Han people at least the Han army had its own organization and cooperation.
Although the Gupta Dynasty did not know what level of force the soldiers including Chai Xiong belonged to in the Han army, they were able to find from repeated drills that the Han people's ability to cooperate on land was not bad, at least with the same equipment and numbers, the Gupta soldiers were on the inferior side.
"I'll be back in Cuttack, and I'll lead one of these fleets into battle."
Kapil Marik asked Li Ming with a smile: "If necessary, I can bring you a letter" Li Ming thought about it and really felt the need, he nodded politely, and immediately a servant brought parchment and charcoal.

By the way, paper was invented a long time ago, but only a small amount was sold to the Central Plains Dynasty via the Silk Road.
With the exception of the Chinese civilization, other civilizations had not actually mastered the method of making paper, and parchment was the main record carrier of each civilization.
Charcoal is really a pen made of charcoal, and it is a coincidence that the Han army also popularized the use of charcoal inside, and the difference is that the pen provided by Ah San has been processed, and it is wrapped with a kind of leather, and the tip of the pen has been sharpened.
Li Ming's knowledge of words is limited, and he writes a small space, mainly to describe some of his experiences after being captured, talk about some of his own observations, and then mention the temporary safety of his captured comrades.
There are some words that cannot be written, and he uses patterns to describe them, but they are not beautiful to draw.
Kapil Marik looked very happy to receive Li Ming's letter, and he repeatedly promised that he would definitely deliver the letter to the Han side, and even asked if there was anything he could do to help, and then left.
"It's a strange country."
Deng Liang said with a smile: "If we treat prisoners of war, what is this." ” For this point, all the Han people who were also captured were deeply convinced, it was already very good that they were not abused, and it was special to be able to get two meals a day, anyway, don't think about the treatment beyond the standard, although they had different experiences after being captured, it was really not how miserable.
"So, if you conquer this country, I think you can manage it according to the treatment of the Japanese people anyway."
Chai Xiong is a knowledgeable person, and he has traveled back and forth to the Japanese countries many times to enjoy super-national treatment.
He asked Li Ming with a little curiosity: "Team rate, what is written in your letter?"
Li Ming is a team leader, and some special ones can only be said to have a knighthood.
One of his teams, the two who stayed behind on the ship, lost eight people in the process of resistance, and the rest except for the captured were disguised to enter various parts of the Gupta Dynasty to collect intelligence, and the most losses were the sailors who did not have time to leave the cabin after the ship sank.
"Just give him what he wants."
Li Ming is talking about Kapil Marik to get in touch with the head.
He waved his hand to let everyone feel free, waited and found a place to sit down, first asked about what happened to each other, and then said: "Obviously, we didn't die because Ah San wanted to leave room for us." ” As long as they are Han Chinese, they think it's funny, they don't understand Ah San's thinking, and they think that they will definitely not do it if they are themselves.
"Maybe it's half a month, maybe it's also a month, and a big war at sea will inevitably break out."
Li Ming was different from everyone else in the Gupta Dynasty, he knew more about the situation, and did not talk about what they were going to do, such as the warriors proposed by Chai Xiong to enter the Gupta Palace Castle and kill the king.
He glanced at everyone, and then grinned and said, "It's not that Lao Tzu is cowardly, it's that Lao Tzu needs to bring what he sees and understands back to Dahan to report." ” Everyone must have their own ideas when faced with a choice, and at this time, a leader is needed to make a decision, Li Ming has the qualifications to be a leader regardless of his position or title, as long as the people present do not rebel, his resolution is the final order.
It's a strange country, with a bunch of rulers with strange ideas, and a large number of oppressed, and I can't think of any more Li Ming going outside and looking at the garden, where it looks green, and how many beautiful women play in the fountain pool: there must be a lot of articles to be done, and I must go back and report my opinion When it comes to Li Ming's class, no matter how limited the knowledge he has, as a member of the benefit recipients of the twentieth rank, he can always grasp something vaguely, and maybe the Han Dynasty's conquest of Ah San can still play a key role
