"Wang Meng will arrive today" "General, the fleet has arrived at Dingwu.
Now Huan Wen can be described as high-spirited, he led the army across the sea, half a month to destroy Gitanado, and in four months to capture all the coast of the Gupta Dynasty, the history of Zhuxia Kecheng to destroy the country of the generals abound, but there is no general like him to do such a great cause of destroying the country across the sea.
Dingwu was the area where the Han army landed for the first time in Jitanado, where there were only some small fishing villages, in order to make the troops from across the sea better landing, Huan Wen ordered the construction of a military port in the first landing, and then built a camp, which slowly expanded from the camp to a military town.
With the Han army conquering the coast of the Gupta Dynasty, especially the capture of Ketak, the largest port of the Gupta Dynasty, the immediate military status of Dingwu in Gitanado was repeatedly reduced, but it still had great political significance.
Zhuxia is very particular about the geographical location, once it is built by the army, there will basically be a "wu" character when naming.
Throughout history, there are too many places where the word "wu" is used in Zhuxia, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period.
At that time, the princes paid attention to spring plowing and autumn warfare, and the army must be fortified every time it arrived, and the scale was large and small, some were hastily established, and some were built on a permanent scale.
Because it was built for the garrison, it was basically named "Wucheng", and the result was that when you spread out the map of the Spring and Autumn Period, you can see that the map is full of geographical names called "Wucheng".
The Eastern Han Dynasty is the tail of the classical military of Zhuxia, and although there are still some traces of the classical era in the subsequent dynasties, some traditions are gone.
For example, after the Western Jin Dynasty, the "Wucheng" no longer appeared in the outward expansion of Zhuxia, and even lost the old tradition of building towns as fences in every place the army went.
Looking at the changes in the size of the territory of each dynasty and each generation, you will find that the territory of Zhuxia before the Eastern Han Dynasty is increasing even if it is expanding slowly, and it is to occupy a place until the fall of the dynasty is still firmly controlled from being taken away by other countries.
Lost the old tradition of building "Wucheng", it is as strong as Yang Sui and Li Tang, the real situation is that the Sui army and the Tang army came, and this land is the land of Sui and Tang, but with the departure of the Sui army and the Tang army, the land has become owned by other countries.
The so-called "Detention District" is the first local administrative unit of Yang Sui, and the so-called "Detention District" is, to put it bluntly, the place on the map nominally belongs to Yang Sui's territory, but in fact it only has a name, and whether those who really control the "Detention District" are willing to obey the emperor's orders is another matter.
Later, Li Tang learned Yang Sui's policies, especially to carry them forward more vigorously, in short, he didn't care whether he was willing to listen to the order issued by the "Detention District", and what he wanted was to send a letter of allegiance from somewhere, so that a certain piece of land could be included in Li Tang's territory openly, so that Li Tang's territory map looked so big.
"The solidity of the country, in virtue is not in danger" this sentence has been mentioned by countless people, although the people's hearts are important but changeable, the last moment to love the next moment to become an enemy, do not pay attention to the real challenge of national defense, although it is to win the hearts of the people again, but can not escape the fate of destruction.
Qin has the danger of Hangu Pass, based on the northwest for more than 800 years, and has repeatedly turned danger into a disaster by virtue of the danger, so that the first emperor can sweep the great cause of sweeping the eight wildernesses and six combinations.
The reason why Guanzhong has always been the land of kings is because there are mountains and rivers in Guanzhong and dangerous passes as a reliance, and they can be attacked and retreated, and they can be defended, so that they will not lose once and they will lose their underwear.
History also proves that any expansion does not build permanent towns, expansion is my advance and retreat, I retreat from the enemy's play, fortunately, the old Zhu family finally picked up the tradition of the classical military era of Zhuxia, every expansion to a place is a fort built and garrisoned, and finally the Han people do not have to experience the embarrassment of advancing and retreating, and there is a huge country that the Manchu Qing Dynasty can "inherit" the old Zhu family to fight down.
"Your Majesty has the reason for saying that the country has both virtue and risk."
Huan Wen is now standing on the land of the newly built permanent fortification: "Aggression is like fire, immobile like a mountain, it is better to move slowly." ” Numerous military examples have repeatedly shown that when the national strength is sufficient, there is nothing more secure than to establish a garrison after capturing a place, and then continue to advance quickly or slowly.
When the Han army came to the Asan continent, swallowed Jitanado as a bridgehead, and officially marched to the Gupta Dynasty, it was of course best to have the city that Asan had already built on the route of the march, and the terrain was dangerous, and no matter how difficult the conditions were, they would build a permanent barracks.
Any country and nation will only choose to take risks when its strength is inferior to others, and who will take unnecessary risks if they really have absolute strength, and generals with slightly normal brains will choose to be steady and steady.
Therefore, there is a phenomenon that there has always been a weak country with many generals, and a strong country without a prominent general.
The country is so weak, and if you don't go sideways, you really can't play the opponent.
I have succeeded in becoming famous, and the country has a chance to breathe.
Defeated, died, and the country was destroyed.
The country is strong, and the enemy country can be killed casually with the pile of resources, and anyone will say that even a pig can win the command if he commands, and no matter how perfect the commander's command can be, it will inevitably be covered by the strong strength of the country.
Huan Wen now wants people, materials, materials, and everything, and it is quite comfortable to live a small life.
The Roman fleet would pass through the continent of Asan, and the central side meant to let the Romans and Persians go ashore to see how the Han army was squeezing the Gupta dynasty step by step.
Huan Wen's decision to the center is to raise his hands and feet in favor, there is nothing more worthy of showing off than letting the foreigners see how majestic they are, and it just so happens that the Gupta Dynasty has also gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to get involved again, and a new big war is about to break out.
Whether it is from the official position or the title, Huan Wen is much higher than Wang Meng, and then he also belongs to his uncle in terms of age, but just because Wang Meng is an angel, Huan Wen should personally go to Cutuck to greet him even if he is pretending.
"This was once the largest port in Gupta, and now," Flavis looked at the land, the city was still the same city, but the flag above the city had changed to the Han side: "It belongs to Seris." ” The coastal city of Cuttak was famous in both Persian Sassanid and Rome, and many goods from the continent of Quetak were loaded from here, and then sold by sea to Persian Sassanid or Rome, and countless Azan told or flaunted the prosperity of Cuttac to the Persians and Romans, making it very famous.
"Look over there," Julian pointed in front of him, where the walls had collapsed in a large section, and several large pits could be seen from a distance: "It must be the Seris who used that weapon" It was gunpowder, but in what way Julian couldn't guess, he only knew that after the thunder would have a terrifying destructive power, there was no word "explosion".
Cuttack has changed from a civilian port to a military port, and when it will be converted to a civilian port will have to be considered appropriate by the Han army.
In the harbor, rows of warships docked against each other, and at first glance there were no less than a thousand, making it look as if a ship had been built on the sea, and if a ship wanted to enter the harbor, it had to sail in the channel that the moored ships had given way.
Some of the seemingly large warships caught the attention of the Romans and Persians, who had never seen a large ship more than a hundred meters long, and could not understand what the long tubes at the bow and stern were, let alone the buildings to which the tubes were connected.
At present, there are only twenty gunboats in the entire Han Kingdom, ten of which were joined in the war against the Gupta Dynasty, but the navy of the Gupta Dynasty was completely annihilated before they could participate in the naval duel, and the latter was used to shell coastal cities.
The gunboats fell to shelling the coast for the first time in the war, and did not show their heroism in the naval duel, but they still showed their hideous side, and the direct consequence was that the Gupta dynasty successively abandoned the coast and retreated inland.
The Romans and Persians crowded on the deck were like Grandma Liu entering the viewing garden, they were dazzled, they saw so many warships moored side by side for the first time, and it was clear that the warships moored here alone may not add up to the number of warships in their own country, but these warships are capable of ocean voyages.
"A warship takes a hundred soldiers, and the ships anchored here alone need 100,000 soldiers" Julian kept gasping: "What we see is fifty legions. ” Of course, not every ship needs a hundred soldiers, the standard configuration of small ships including sailors is twenty-eight people, medium ships increase to eighty, and large ships have nearly two hundred, and when needed, they can carry more people.
Rome only has a few legions, counting the private armies of each family, and it will not exceed 200 legions if it dies, and the standard configuration of 2,000 people per legion is 400,000 warrior field soldiers.
"Fifty legions, no matter what time it is, is enough for us to fight all over the Mediterranean coast."
Flavies was right, Rome often did not reach the number of fifty legions, but it was invincible in the known world: "We destroyed Parthia, including the baggage regiments and the barbarian legions, and only thirty-eight legions were used. ” The Roman legions of Alexandria's reign were based on 6,000 men each, three times as many as the Roman legions of the reign of Constantius II.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the baggage regiment are all veterans of battle, and their combat effectiveness is more powerful than that of the Roman legions named the Guards, but the strength of each baggage regiment generally does not exceed 3,000 people.
The barbarian legions under the command of the Romans, each of which had the same strength as the barbarian legions.

For example, the Ninth Spanish Legion, which was quite famous in Alexandria's Severus era, was actually recruited from various barbarian tribes, and its strength exceeded 10,000 at its peak.
In addition, the Macedonian, Germanic, Celtic, Saxon and many other legions under the command of the Romans had less than 1,000 troops and more than 50,000 troops The Romans and Persians who stood on the deck to watch the Han fleet now had only one thought, that is, after returning to China, they must make a big call for increasing their military strength, otherwise if the Han State had the intention to invade, the naval strength of the Han State alone would be enough for themselves to drink.
Of course, not all ships in the envoy fleet will enter the port, Wang Meng's ships, including those carrying distant guests, will enter the port and dock, and the rest of the ships will either anchor outside the port or head for Malacca first.
Wang Meng saw Huan Wen from a distance, he didn't dare to have the slightest support, the ship was docked, and the people went down to land to meet them quickly.
"I've seen an angel" Huan Wen took the lead in saluting for the sake of Wang Meng's holding the angel festival, there was no contempt in his attitude, and he respected the authority on behalf of the Son of Heaven, waiting for Wang Meng to return the gift and put away the angel festival, before he smiled and said: "Jing Luo looks like a lot of spirit." ” "I've seen the Marquis of Xinping" Wang Meng saluted respectfully, glanced at Julian, Kesiaias and others who followed the disembarkation, and after introducing them one by one, he complimented: "The general's strategy is so fast." ” "Hahaha" Huan Wen looked very happy, but the words of the scene were to say: "Relying on the divine power of the Son of Heaven and the soldiers' lives, they can achieve a little success." ” Julian just knew who the Han general in front of him was, and how much power he had, and he heard that he was still the patriarch of a family with a long history, so he had been looking at it curiously.
Huan Wen can now be called in power, belonging to the establishment under his command, excluding the servant army and slave army, there are 80,000, and the navy has more than 3,000 ships, which can be said to be in his possession of the military power that can easily destroy most known countries.
After a period of greetings, naturally they couldn't stand on the pier all the time to chat, so everyone got into the vehicle prepared in advance and went to the city to go to the place where they stayed.
"There are only four generals like Huan Wen, Seris."
Julian has done his homework: "Huan Wen is not the most powerful general, I heard that a general named Xie An is leading a large army to conquer the northwest of the old land of Seris, a general named Lu Tai is in charge of the northeast of Seris, and a general named Li Tan has been leading the army in the north of Seris.
Each of them commanded an army of not less than 200,000 troops. ” The Romans who just knew that there was such a thing were all dumbfounded, the four generals of the east, south, west, and north "Zheng" levels combined were 800,000 troops, and the Han State must have other levels of generals, so how many troops should there be But they didn't know that Julian was talking nonsense at all, except for a few exceptions, such as the outbreak of the national war, or it would be like the end of Li Tan's war in the north, and there would only be one army left under his command plus a part of the border army, which was almost about 20,000 troops.
"I heard that there are not only four generals, but also four towns, four pings, and four fu, as well as chariot generals, hussar generals, and generals," Julian said, as if deliberately scaring his companions who opened the car, "You can imagine how many troops Seris has":
