Rome also had a time of rebellion, the period of the largest number of troops was during the reign of Alexandria Severus, the correct number of troops is difficult to find an accurate answer from the historical records, it is generally believed that at the insistence of Alexander Severus, the total strength of Rome at that time will not be less than 380,000.
Only 380,000 is not understood by the Roman method of calculating troops, first of all, you must be a Roman citizen to become a field soldier, that is, a member of the so-called Roman legions, and the rest of the armed men stationed in various places such as frontier fortresses or domestic towns are not counted as army soldiers.
If you understand the composition of the Roman legions, you will know how terrible the number of 380,000 soldiers is, that is, 380,000 strong men who brought their own armor and weapons to join the army.
They usually do almost nothing, only learn killing techniques, that is, professional soldiers in the true sense of the word.
The samurai of the Spring and Autumn period were also professional soldiers, and they had slaves to replace their labor, and they only needed to concentrate on learning how to kill.
However, the samurai of the Spring and Autumn Period will never add up to too many, and during the Spring and Autumn Period, small countries only have one or two thousand troops, medium countries have nearly 10,000, and large countries have a maximum of 350,000 troops.
Alexander Severus Riot in the same period of the world, the Zhuxia at that time was the period of chaos between the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, don't look at the princes at every turn, tens of thousands of troops, but the source of soldiers is generally temporarily conscripted, most of the professionals are farmers, or they are conscripts who enlist through normal channels, speaking of which there are not many professional soldiers, even the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry in the later Cao Wei is also an army composed of non-professional soldiers.
There is a fundamental difference between professional soldiers and those recruited in various ways.
First of all, what professional soldiers learn is the means of killing, and professional soldiers will not be unfamiliar with military life, and it is very difficult for an army composed of professional soldiers to disperse in a hurry at the slightest setback.
Non-professional soldiers from mixed sources, they usually learn everything but they don't learn how to kill, and they are definitely inferior to professional soldiers in terms of will, and they will fight very happily when the wind blows, but the problem is that if the situation is not right, it is very easy to collapse.
What kind of situation it was for professional soldiers to fight troops from mixed sources, a look at the history of Rome's wars against the Parthian Empire shows a clear gap.
The war between Rome and the Parthian Empire has been fought for hundreds of years, and the two sides have won and lost each other, but the key point is that Rome has always been under a gap of many times or even dozens of times the strength of the Parthian Empire.
Even though Rome was far inferior to the Parthian Empire in terms of military strength, Rome still won more than defeated.
Alexandria Severus attacked the Parthian Empire with a fierce army, and once he was half-paralyzed.
The Romans had their own way of calculating their armies, and just now Flavies asked the key point.
"Thirteen corps, each with 15,000 soldiers, for a total of 195,000 professional soldiers."
Julian was quite familiar with this, adding: "The rest of the army, according to the Seris, belonged to the conscripts or county soldiers" Flavies was a little relaxed at that moment, and exhaled a breath of turbid breath in his chest: "In this way, the number of our professional soldiers is not as small as that of Reese. ” "The Seris soldiers who sent to Rome were drawn from the Thirteen Armies."
Julian did not want to fight Flavies, but said: "My legions, the legions of Gallus and the garrison of Constantinople, when facing them" The word "vulnerable" came to Flavies's mind, a fact that had been present to the Han Chinese since their arrival in Constantinople.
Although the Roman soldiers at that time were in a state of confusion, they really showed the qualities of a professional soldier, and unfortunately they encountered the Han army, which was equipped with armor and cavalry as the main charging force, and was crushed after resisting a little bit.
On both sides of the road where the vehicle was advancing, Han soldiers pulled up into a wall to isolate the crowd of onlookers.
These soldiers are not wearing heavy armor, because the Asan continent is in a hot climate all year round, they wear short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and they wear a kind of armor that looks light, which is mainly a leather organization with iron plates in key positions, and the weapons are mostly spears, and a few officers are swords.
The vast majority of the onlookers were local Ah San, and Han Chinese could also be seen, and even Persians from Sassanid and Serbs, Su, Gypsies and so on from other countries.
Of course, the Han people came to do business, to do business with the local Ah San, and also to buy the booty in the hands of the soldiers.
They buy the private booty in the hands of the soldiers at a reasonable price in the Asan Continent, transport it back to the mainland and sell it, and generally get more than double the profit, but there are also losses to the grandmother's family.
The rest of the people of various nationalities, who were in the Gupta Dynasty before the invasion of the Han army, also came to do business.
Some were originally in Cuttac, and many more came from the rest of the Gupta dynasty after the Han army captured Cuttac.
The Han people came to do business on the Asan Continent to buy goods that were not available in the mainland, and the businessmen of those nationalities came to the Han people to buy goods from the Han country, and the port of Cuttac was under military control, but there was no strict control in the city, and the business was not lost to the prosperity before the war, that is, it would be difficult for foreigners to purchase materials for a while and a half.
"Why can't you see fear or hatred for Seris soldiers in the eyes of the faithful people" Helena is in the same car with Helena and Selena, the eldest daughter of a family with a long history: "Shouldn't they be afraid" Selena is eighteen years old this year, which is precisely the age of grace, and judging by the aesthetic standards of the Romans, she is undoubtedly a beauty at the level of a goddess.
She didn't learn the blonde hair of other Roman noblewomen, and she didn't dress very revealingly, and even seemed a little conservative in terms of Roman social values.
"Look at the way the ordinary people look at those dwarf soldiers and the soldiers of their own clan."
Selena reminded and said, "You can see the fear and hatred that Your Excellency said. ” The short soldiers were, of course, servants from the Japanese Islands, who were the vanguard of the Xindu battlefield, and they were the first to charge in every major battle, and their figures were all over every battlefield and the cities and villages under military control, doing the work ordered by the Han people.
The so-called soldiers of their own nationality are of course Ah San's imperial army, their source is not the defeated and captured prisoners, it is some high castes who know the times and defect to the Han army, they are the private army of the high caste, and the high castes all recognize the Han people as their fathers, and as the subordinates of the high castes, they naturally have to work for the Han people.
In the past, the Han people assigned the Japanese servant army to do some dirty work and tiring work, but with the Three Emperors Cooperative Army, they no longer used the Japanese servants to die, and the cannon fodder was used by the Three Emperors Cooperative Army, and the dirty work and tired work became the Japanese servant army to supervise the Three Emperors Cooperative Army.
Like many traitors, once you become a traitor, you no longer have any moral values, let alone any camaraderie, and even do things far more brutal and cruel than the invaders, and naturally you will gain hatred from your comrades.
The Han army often appears as a messenger of justice, such as pulling out a certain evil Ah San Huang Cooperative Army for trial, adjudicating a certain Japanese servant army, showing the justice and greatness of the Han people, and gaining the gratitude and worship from the Ah San people.
The Ah San Emperor Army, which is defined as full of evil, will not be dealt with because he has done anything crazy to his compatriots, it may be that the execution of the orders of the Han army is not enough, maybe it is just that the Japanese servant army who supervises him is simply unhappy, and it is more likely that he is an undercover agent of Ah San who is in the heart of the Han camp.
"The Han is here to promote the king."
Huan Wen was also asked by Wang Meng about the attitude of the people of Ah San just now, and said quite proudly: "Conquer its tyranny and subdue its people, and call it conquest." ” When the Han people came to the Asan Continent, they naturally wanted to do what they wanted to do, but they didn't have to go back with the spoils of war after they left, and taking care of some images was conducive to the rule of Ah San in the future.
"Jing Luo shouldn't know yet" Huan Wen didn't need to grovel to Wang Meng, just out of the purest investment, he said the latest news from the center: "The center is already discussing the matter of separation. ” Wang Meng was slightly stunned.
When he was Liu Yan's personal secretary, he had already guessed from some bits and pieces that Liu Yan did not reject the partition, but the partition of the old land of the Han family, so that although the heroes were rewarded in terms of wealth, the feudal country that was rewarded was not at all, only as the level of the fiefdom.
The so-called feudal state is a fief that can be completely self-decided, and there is no need to pay any taxes to the Son of Heaven or the government.
The fiefdom is to have the right to collect taxes in that place, but it cannot interfere in any administration, and only enjoys the offerings from the fiefdom.
Huan Wen is now the Marquis of Xinping, and he only enjoys the honor and status from the title, and naturally he also has the hidden convenience brought by the title, but there is really not much wealth, let alone enjoying the governance rights of a country within a country like a real marquis.
"Divide the seal" Huan Wen couldn't help but be excited even if he mentioned it again and again: "Your Majesty treats his subordinates so kindly, and his temperament is rare in a thousand years." ” In the early years, those ministers from the dragon were looking forward to rewarding meritorious deeds, but Liu Yan was only generous in wealth, and it was not without rumors that he was stingy with the feudal city, if it were not for the mysterious and ignorant of Liu Yan, and then Liu Yan had the prestige of a "national liberator", and some people who were not satisfied were not unable to do things that were rebellious.
Wang Meng's current status is not up or down, and he doesn't want to talk about this topic, but Huan Wen is really too excited to dismiss the fun: "The place of the feud is the Asan Continent" "Ah San Continent, and the Black Continent that has just been discovered."

Huan Wen's biggest wish before was to have a fiefdom, but his thin arms were destined to break his thighs, and he didn't have that obsession for a long time.
He now thinks that it is the greatest good thing to have a feudal country that he can call the shots, and he will no longer be obsessed with where to seal it: "The news is very accurate, they are busy calculating the wealth and recruiting warriors, just waiting for Your Majesty to issue an edict to do a big job." ” Wang Meng somewhat understood, on the way back, he encountered so many fleets, it turned out that the various families knew that they were going to divide the seals and rushed to explore the details of the African continent, not all of them were fascinated by the great cause of captured slaves.
Chatting about the not-so-secret news, the carriage entered the city and stopped at the gate of the original City Lord's Mansion.
The Asan high caste has always been unbeatably top of the pack when it comes to enjoyment, and it is the provenance that shows the nouveau riche, for example in the use of gold.
As the castle lord's mansion, its buildings are being built on a tall side, especially after choosing the hill in the castle, the gardens and promenades are in line with nature, and the lake is inevitably excavated artificially to create a waterfall landscape.
"The roof of the tallest building," Helena said, pointing to the sun-drenched golden thing on the top of the hill: "Is it gold, how big gold must it be to be able to see from afar" It was a gold ingot that melted into a triangle, and the volume really looked like it was not small, so I don't know if it was gilded or solid.
Unlike Helena, who focuses on wealth, Helena and Selena, the latter two focus on fitting with nature, and feel that they should feel comfortable living there.
The area of the Castle Lord's Mansion is very large, and there is even a barracks that can accommodate 3,000 soldiers, and the rest is a place to rest and play.
When Ah San built a house, he paid attention to setting aside a square, which included raising some flowers and plants or animals, and then there was a fountain or something, and there was not just one.
"No, it's the technique of Ah Sanxiu Pool or learning from us."
Julian didn't talk nonsense about this, he walked down the deep corridor, looked at a large pool not far away, and said in an inexplicable tone: "They are better than blue." ” It was not just a large pool, it was a well-built swimming pool, about the size of a modern basketball court, and the surrounding ground was built with pottery shards, and the other five sides of the pool were also built with pottery shards.
Now there are a lot of coolly dressed women who are having fun, and they can be distinguished from quite a lot of regions by looking at their appearance and skin color, some high-caste women from Ah San, women from Persia, I don't know where there are white-skinned women, anyway, there are a lot of varieties.
"Seris was fascinated by the slave trade."
Flavies knew exactly what it was for a country to be fascinated by the slave trade, and later added: "There was a great demand for female slaves, in particular." ” Julian, who knew what he meant, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "We are on the disadvantaged side in our trade relations with Seris. ” The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and they thought more than once when they dreamed back at midnight, Rome basically had no resistance to the goods of the Han people, and basically wanted to buy and buy every time they saw it, but there were very few goods that the Han people had the desire to buy.
"I need to write back home."
Julian asked, "What about you?"
Flavies smiled, he also happened to need to write back home
