Chapter 870: Full of pride


"The Han army on the opposite side was about 100,000.

The Sakrhan family is rumored to have been a large family during the Kushan Empire, and it was also a family based on military exploits.

The Kushan Empire often had contradictions between the north and the south, whenever the contradictions could not be divided by verbal arguments, they could only send troops to each other, usually the nobles of the north could teach the nobles of the south to behave, but the nobles of the south were never convinced.

All because the aristocracy of the south is dominated by the navy, and the army of the north can teach the army of the south to be a man on land, but if the battlefield is changed to the sea, it is the navy of the south to teach the landlubber of the north to be a man.

Entering the Gupta Dynasty, the country still has a deep north-south contradiction, but the contradiction no longer has the thorn of the nation.

During the Kushan Empire, the nobles in the north were dominated by the Yueshi people, the southern part was dominated by the conquered Xindu people, and there were many ethnic minorities in the north and south.

The Gupta dynasty was also a multi-ethnic state, but the various ethnic groups were no longer divided into agglomerations, but were scattered and mixed settlements, and there was no longer a clear division of ethnic groups, and they were treated differently according to Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, and untouchables.

Naturally, a country will not lack contradictions, large and small, ethnic antagonism is the most serious contradiction, and conflicts in the form of ethnic groups are also the most likely to stir up sensitive nerves, and once anyone takes the lead, it will be a large-scale conflict between ethnic groups.

The three generations of monarchs of the Gupta Dynasty have been diluting the national concept and trying their best to support the rise of the sect and religion, which can be said to be very clever in terms of means for the continent of Xindu.

At present, the north-south contradiction of the Gupta dynasty is mainly over the gap between the rich and the poor.

Because the south was close to the sea, the Gupta dynasty encouraged trade at sea, and it was only natural that the south would be economically rich.

The environment in the northern part of the Gupta Dynasty was not bad, the existence of the Ganges River and the Indus River, the existence of the two long rivers, made the vast majority of areas not short of water for farming, and it can be said that the grain production can not only supply the consumption of the whole country, but even export a large share of the foreign export.

The work of a family with its back to the loess and facing the sky is not as good as the profit generated by a businessman's business transaction, no matter which country or nation, the same thing happened in the Gupta Dynasty, and then there are southern nobles constantly showing off their wealth, and the north naturally feels unbalanced.

Shamdragupta's control over the country was not very strong, at least not at all inferior to the central control of the local government during the Kushan Empire, better than Sri Gupta and his father Chandragupta, the founder of the dynasty, but he still could not get the nobles in the north to unite and rescue the south at any cost when he thought it was needed.

Shamir was talking about the slave army, and the faces of the southern nobles in the military tent became quite unsightly.

In the camp, the number of southern nobles is far less than that of nobles from other places, that is, the southern part of the Gupta Dynasty can be said to be completely fallen, the vast majority of southern nobles choose the Han people as their fathers on the premise of not taking away their property, and only a small number of nobles with heart choose to flee with the property they can carry.

Too many southern aristocrats chose to be the good sons of the Han people's fathers, and some of their actions continued to spread to the unoccupied areas, and the living conditions naturally passed on to the past.

"The Han people did not kill them all, nor did they confiscate their property."

Zampt Warren sat in the middle of a group of southern nobles and lowered his voice: "I heard that the Han people are still very willing to spend money" Zampt Warren was captured twice by the Han army, and both times spent money to redeem his freedom.

It was with his personal experience of seeing the powerful combat power of the Han army that after he returned for the last time, he concluded that the Gupta Dynasty could not defeat the Han State at all, and he did not know what kind of psychological emotions he disposed of the family's property in the south, and the family began to migrate to the north.

Shamir on the other side continued to talk eloquently, to the effect that the Han people had repeatedly won victories on the battlefield, but the Han people were fighting the southerners, and the northerners had not yet shown their real strength to fight the Han people.

In the past, if there were northerners who kept belittling southerners on such occasions, it was inevitable that southerners would jump out and choke, and the invective would develop in the direction of wealth, and then northerners would be sprayed with spit on their faces and speechless.

Now the northerners can spray as much as they want, whether they can recover the territory occupied by the Han army in the south depends on the army in the north, and no southerners stand up to refute it, and the northerners who were pressed in the past took this opportunity to get out of the stuffiness in their chests.

"So, the Han people also know the incompetence of the southerners, and they are not even willing to let them go to war to consume our arrows and strength."

Shamir was very happy, and liked the appearance of those southerners who obviously didn't want to listen to it, and didn't dare to refute it, so they could only sulk: "We have gathered an army of 300,000, and reinforcements are coming from all over the country.

And our vassals, who know that they can't let the Han people gain a foothold in this land, and are mobilizing troops and supplies to come and support" The Gupta dynasty had a large number of vassal states, and they also had a strong control over those vassal states.

At present, the kings of those vassal countries are in the capital of the Gupta dynasty in Fahrenheit, and will come to the main battlefield with Shamadhara Gupta in the future.

"This time, we will concentrate a million soldiers," Shamir said, the more excited he became: "If the Han do not retreat to the coast in time and roll back in a ship, they are doomed to be wiped out by us on land."

We have wiped out the Han people who came to invade, and we will burn the flames of war into the land of the Han people."

The excited Shamir's proud speech caused more people to be excited, and there were constantly shouts from people in the military tent, which basically would let the Han people see their strength, and they wanted to burn the flames of war to the Han mainland.

If they could really wipe out the expeditionary Han army and regain lost territory, and have a few years to rebuild ships, the Gupta dynasty would really be the only country in the world capable of bringing the flames of war to the Han mainland from the sea.

The southern nobles in the military tent sat honestly in their positions, and one after another looked so dignified.

Once upon a time, the southerners regarded the northerners as a bunch of poor people, and when there were countless conflicts, the southern nobles could always wear golden lights, and look at them so quietly with contempt or contempt, anyway, no matter how much the northern nobles jumped, it was usually a sentence of "I am richer than you" that could make the northern nobles shut up.

Not now, even if the southern nobles who escaped can no longer bring out all their possessions, it is not as simple as who has money in wartime, but how many samurai can be summoned and how many untouchables can be pulled.

Zampt Warren's face was the same as that of all the southern nobles, there was humiliation and unwillingness, but there was something slightly wrong in his eyes, there was no bitterness at all, on the contrary, he could see that there was an inexplicable mockery.

"We saw the banners of the Romans and Persians in the Han Chinese barracks."

Shamir said that this situation was discovered only yesterday, and he bitterly scolded: "The Romans have abandoned their decades-long friendship with us, and they are a band of treachers without any faith or morality."

Shamir scolded the Romans for good reason.

The Gupta dynasty had frequent maritime trade with Rome, and even discussed the possibility of an alliance with each other, and although they did not eventually become full-fledged allies, the Gupta dynasty continued to provide Roman weapons and armor at cheap prices.

Due to the desire for expansion shown by the Persian Sassanids in recent years, the Gupta and Rome also reached a consensus on the targeting of the Persian Sassanids, and on several occasions the Gupta navy also helped the Romans contain the water power of the Persian Sasanids.

"When we needed friendship the most, the Romans chose to stab us severely," Shamir said, turning to the slumpy southern nobles, "You are a bunch of fools, all the time." ” The southern aristocracy had to carry the Gupta dynasty's diplomacy with Rome had always been dominated by them, and the friendship with Rome was the main reason for the hostility of the Persian Sassanids to the Gupta dynasty.

Thinking in a larger and deeper direction, the Han people explored the sea and swept away the Gupta Dynasty's power in the South Seas, and the Han people began to cross Malacca into the Eritrean Sea, which is also due to the Persians, does it mean that the war between the Han State and the Gupta Dynasty also had the shadow of the Persians Under Shamir's wild spray, the southern nobles chose to bow their heads and say nothing.

"The nobles who served as dogs for the Han people must be liquidated after the war" Shamir was convinced that this war would end with their final victory: "You also have to pay the price" "Dear Sakr Khan."

Zampt Warren raised his head slightly, and his arms slowly stretched out: "I am willing to pay the price for my mistakes. ” With Zampt Warren taking the lead, a few southern nobles also expressed their stance one after another.

Shamir looked at the rest of the southern nobles who had not moved, and his gaze fell back on Zampt Warren: "The Warren family is a respectable family.

Although you have repeatedly failed in the contest with the Han Chinese, you have not lost the heart to fight. ” Zampt Warren put on a bitter expression, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, Shamir's words were too uncomfortable to listen to, although they were praise.

"There is a saying that the Han people say very correctly."

Shamir carefully recalled: "Shame and courage, that's the sentence."

It is not enough for you to have the determination to recover, but to take real action. ” Zampt Warren raised his head again, with the same bitter expression: "The Warren family will take out 20,000 grams of Sher." ” Kesher is the name of a coin of Ahsan, and Kesher is talking about weight, not metal.

Shamir looked at the rest of the southern nobles, he said so much, he wanted to extort the only remaining value of the southern nobles:
