For a long time, the education received by the intellectuals of the Central Plains Dynasty had a characteristic, that is, they believed that the Central Plains was "under heaven", and any enemy other than the Central Plains belonged to the wilderness, not only looking down on the land of Zhuxia outside the Central Plains, that is, those areas south of the Yangtze River, the land of Bashu, the land of Liaodong, the land of the northwest, etc., but also those areas outside the land of Zhuxia.
In fact, East Asia has really been in the leading position for a long time, and the Zhuxia and Miao descendants have spread out to bring the Central Plains culture to various places, and they are not interested in the culture extended by the Miao people of the same race, and they are even more disdainful of the cultures of other races.
Before the "Clothed South Crossing", the families of the Central Plains looked at the rest of the area to look at the barbarian savages, and everyone thought that they were drinking blood.
Even under the premise that Chudi itself is not inferior to the culture of the Central Plains, the families of the Central Plains still look down on the cultural inheritance of the southern families.
They fled from the north to the south, and they were obviously inferior to the south in terms of strength, but they were able to easily subdue the south, and their psychological superiority sense can be imagined to be stronger.
Some people who are qualified to be listed in the biography basically have a point of view in their books, that is, they ignore the fact that they were caught and killed by the Hu people before fleeing to the south, and beautify the escape as bringing culture to the south, a knowledge-barren place.
For the compatriots who are also descendants of Zhuxia, how can they still expect those elites to look at the civilization of other countries and nations because of ignorance, for example, they don't know that there are more ancient civilizations besides Zhuxia civilization, and they don't know what glory other nations have had, and that kind of arrogance has always existed.
The Central Plains civilization does have something to be proud of, even if it has gone through the "Shenzhou Land Sinking", but the Hu people who occupied the Central Plains are also copying the Central Plains political system, I don't know how many people are comforting themselves, thinking that no matter how strong the Hu people are, they are not to learn the advanced Central Plains culture.
The enigmatic self-confidence is that in modern times, with the development of science and technology, it has been broken, and then it has entered the stage of comprehensive denial of its own civilization, and those so-called elites have begun to think that they are backward in everything, and foreigners even pull out the that is fragrant.
Since when did the Zhuxia Miao descendants begin to be complacent, it is clear that after the comprehensive rise of Confucianism, they regard any scientific and technological development as a miracle and skill, and only the words of the ancient sages are the truth, and they turn a blind eye to the progress of the times.
Then there is the fact that the forbidden sea has completely cut off communication with the outside world, and we have not seen those originally backward nations catch up, or even surpass far.
Speaking of which, there will be many people who do not believe that it is not wrong that the Zhuxia civilization has been at the forefront of the world for a long time, but to say that it is completely ahead is to deceive itself, compared to the smelting technology is not as good as Ah San, compared to agriculture is not as good as Egypt, to say that the number of conquered countries and nations is not as good as Rome, it seems that it can be side by side with Greece in those mysterious and mysterious philosophies, but the Greek civilization at least has a lot of scientific theories that still have research value in modern times, and it seems that it can only be compared with vitality In fact, it is a victory to survive and pass it on, and many ethnic groups that can lead the Zhuxia civilization in history have become ancient, even if they have not completely disappeared, they have sunk and cannot extricate themselves.
There are not many people who have fallen and got up again, and the Zhuxia civilization has been reincarnated repeatedly in this process, and the other is the Persians who have just got up again.
"This city" Kianush Alta Ardashir looked at the busy traffic, and then at the buildings with no end in sight, and let out a heartfelt emotion: "It's so big" Ergutai Bahram fully agrees with the words of Kianush Arta Ardashir, whose capital is thirty-two kilometers southeast of modern Baghdad in Ctesiphon, and is very large, with a population of nearly half a million, and can be regarded as one of the best cities in Central Asia and Europa.
Nowadays, there are few cities with a population of more than 500,000, and there is only one with a population of more than one million, and the remaining one with a population of more than 100,000 can call itself a big city.
"I heard that the city originally had a population of more than two million."
Ergutai Bahram sighed and said, "The whole world is just such a city. ” Now Jiankang has a population of no two million, and has been relocated nearly 700,000, even if it has become a hoarding place for maritime trade goods due to its geographical location, it has increased a lot of floating population, but it really has not exceeded two million people.
The new Chang'an is still under preliminary construction, and Jiankang is still the most populous city in the Han Dynasty and the most populous city in the world.
The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty surrendered soon after the Han army came to the city, Jiankang City actually did not withstand the devastation of the war, retained the dense building complex that should have been, and the envoys from various countries arrived in Jiankang to be surprised that there was such a big city in the east of the world, and it was climbed to watch it successively.
The people from the Persian Sassanid were located on the Stone Mountain, and they could see most of the city, as well as the boats passing along the Yangtze River, and they had already visited the bazaar, and no one denied the enormity of Jiankang City and the vitality of the city.
"On the way here, we saw the construction of the strait by the Han Empire, and they were obviously determined to step on the trust."
Ardashir was most concerned about this, the Persian Sassanids had resumed their wars against Rome, and the Gupta dynasty had frequent trade with Rome: "It is very beneficial for us to have the Han Empire invade Xindu. ” The Gupta dynasty was defeated once, but it did not admit the overall defeat, and there were still voices calling for peace, waiting for the troops led by Katruk Karp to be completely annihilated, and it was the voice of war that suppressed the voice of peace.
The Han expeditionary force had been engaged in raiding warfare, and was cautious about landing on the Gupta dynasty, and the two sides continued to engage in naval exchanges on the side of the Asan Ocean, and large-scale fleet battles did not occur again.
Speaking of which, Persian Sassanid was re-established on the ruins of the Parthian Empire, during the destruction of Parthia by the Romans, most of the Parthian territory was looted, and the current capital of Persian Sassanid, Ctesiphon, was sacked by the Romans and burned to ruins.
The Parthian Empire died in 224 AD, the same year that the Parthian general Artazelsis founded the Sassanid Empire, and his initial opponent was not the Romans, but the last monarch of the Parthian Empire, Artaban V.
After Artazelsis won the battle and established the Sassanid Dynasty, he actually did not seek revenge on the Romans, but instead brandished his weapons at the six nobles of the original Parthian Empire, and successively eliminated and annexed the six nobles into the incubation period.
In the years that followed, there were sporadic resistance movements in various parts of the former Sabbatical Empire, but Ardashir I continued to expand his influence to the east and northwest, conquering Sistan, Gorgan, Khorasan, Malgiana, present-day Turkmenistan, Balkh, and Kransmia, and he occupied Bahrain and Mosul.
Some Sassanid inscriptions show that the kings of the Kushan Empire, Turan and Mokran were all subservient to Ardashir, although coronal research suggests that they were more likely to be subservient to Ardashir's son, Shapur I.
The Sassanid Empire's westward crusades against Hatra, Armenia, and Adityapona were ineffective.
In 230, the Sassanids attacked the territory of the Roman Empire, and the Roman Empire counterattacked two years later, and although the Roman Emperor Alexander Severus celebrated his triumph in Rome, the war ended without conclusive results.
The second major expansion of the Sassanid Empire did not begin until 293, when the war was fought against the weakened Roman Empire, the first three years of which were largely stalemate, and in 296 the defeat of the Roman Emperor Galerius near Carinigum on the Euphrates River.
Galerius was supported by a reinforcement army called up on the Danube in the spring of 298, and Nars could not make any further advance in Armenia and Mesopotamia, so Galerius launched an offensive against northern Mesopotamia via Armenia in 298.
Nars withdrew to Armenia to face the Romans, and the rugged terrain of Armenia was advantageous to the Roman infantry and conversely to the Sassanid cavalry, and with the help of the locals, Galerius defeated Nars in two successive battles.
The Sassanid Empire began peace talks with the Roman Empire in 299, and this time the Persians initiated a war that ended with the Sassanids admitting defeat and ceding land, followed by rebellions in Sistan and Kushan, and the killing of the modern Sassanid kings by the Arabs in a hunt.
Shapur II, the current Sassanid monarch, was crowned before he was even born, and the crown rested on his mother's belly.
During his early years, the Sassanid dynasty was ruled by his mother and the nobility.
The adult Shapur II immediately came to power and proved that he was an active and influential king.
When Shapur II came to power, he led a small but elite army against the Arabs in the south, ensuring the security of the southern Sassanid Empire.
He launched an offensive against the Romans on the Western Front, and although the Persians won a series of battles, they were never able to capture the territory of the Roman Empire due to their failure to capture Nisibis and the Romans' recapture of Singla and Amida.
The Sassanid Empire was also pinned down by nomads on the eastern front, who threatened the Transoxians of Central Asia, a strategic stronghold of the Silk Road.
Shapur II then personally led his troops to the east, allowing his officers to continue their harassing attacks on the Romans.
Shapur II subdued the peoples of Central Asia and annexed their territories to the Sassanid Empire, conquering the region now known as Afghanistanstan.
At this stage, the war between the Sassanid Empire and Rome is the stage of reopening, and the main attack and destruction between each other before the war breaks out, the problem is that the Arabs within the Sassanid Dynasty have revolted again, and the Central Asian Transoxians are a trend of erosion, which greatly restrains the process of the Sassanid Dynasty's war against Rome.
"We do need an ally with weight."
Before Ardashir came to the Han Kingdom, he had a clear goal, which was to establish an alliance with the Han Kingdom: "The Han Empire is not only present in Xindu, but they are also marching in the direction of the Western Regions.

The trade between Sindu and Rome could be completely blocked on the sea, and the war between the Arabs and the Hunnites and other barbarians could be joined on land. ” After the last battle of the Assanyo, the Sassanid Dynasty had seen the maritime strength of the Han State, and firmly believed that the Han people's land war strength would not be inferior to the previous one, and history repeated it, but this time the Han people did not need the Persians, and the Persians needed the Han people to join their wars.
The Sassanid Dynasty sent an envoy this time only to ask, and the first thing Ardashir had to figure out as the envoy was what the Han people wanted, and impress the Han king with the greatest sincerity.
"Carving up the world is a great sincerity."
Ardashir was not joking, he said seriously: "We need to defeat the Romans, we can recognize the Han Empire's capture of the Gupta dynasty, and we can also recognize the Han Empire's regain control of the Western Regions."
At sea and on land, we and the Han Empire were able to be allies fighting side by side. ” Unlike Ardashir, a member of the royal family who had been well-fed since childhood, Egutai Bahram did not take things for granted, saying, "I'm afraid things won't go as smoothly as we thought."
The Han Empire was in the dominant stage in Xindu Yang, and there was no difference between us and the Han Empire.
The Western Regions as the Han Empire called it was originally their control area, and it was only by acknowledging that the Han Empire's re-control of the Western Regions was not a bargaining chip. ” "A state is needed between the two countries as a buffer zone that can weaken the Hunnite to the maximum, and its demise will not be allowed to happen."
Ardashir smiled and said, "Hunnit cannot perish, presumably the Han Empire will be interested in Kangju, Yueban and Wusun" "Ergutai Bahram is very tempted to say that even if the Han Empire did not have them, the above-mentioned countries could still be destroyed.
He thought so, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say it euphemistically: "I heard that the Han Empire's attack on the Inland Sea Peninsula, the Indochina Peninsula and Xindu was all for the purpose of obtaining food. ” Ardashir also knew this, and immediately smiled and said, "Although I don't understand why the Han Empire went thousands of miles away to seek food, even if it was so far away, how much should it be lost in transportation.
The Han Empire wants to get food, and we just don't lack food, and this is also one of our bargaining chips. ” Only then did Ergutai Bahram feel that this time the alliance between the two sides was discussed, and they had more or less what the Han Empire wanted
