Chapter 871: A Legend from Far Away


Yes, yes, now the indescribable location of the northerners is large, and everything is right.

Well, the northerners are still poor, but with a large army and plenty of food, there is no louder voice in war than with a heavy army and no shortage of food.

The Ganges River basin and the Indus River basin have been one of the most densely populated areas on the Asan side since ancient times, and any war between the Aesan and other countries and ethnic groups will depend on the above-mentioned two river basins for more than six or seven out of ten military supplies.

What is even more rare is that the Ganges River basin and the Indus River basin contain many tributaries have always been the largest grain-producing areas in the Ahsan continent, precisely because the docility of the two river basins has a natural advantage in agriculture, unless it is a man-made disaster in the history of the Ahsan, or there will be very few large-scale famines.

It is no exaggeration to say that the annual grain production in the Ganges and Indus valleys alone would have supplied one-third of the human population on the earth in 352 A.D.

Among the countries known to the Han Chinese today, the Romans relied heavily on Egypt and Spain for food, the Persians relied on the Nile Valley and the Mesopotamian plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the two river basins, and the Ganges River valley and the Indus River tributaries.

The Han Kingdom is also a vast country, but if you really take a good look, there is no grain producing area that can be compared with the above three countries.

If you want to say that there is, it is also the Northeast Plain, the land of Jingchu and the Indochina Peninsula that have just entered the stage of reclamation.

Founded in the Qin Dynasty, the grain production area of the Chengdu 1 Plain covers an area and scale, which is not large compared to it.

If the population wants to grow, it is not enough to make people and finish the work, first of all, it must ensure that there is enough food, and it must be the premise that ordinary people have no economic pressure to buy, otherwise they will not be able to afford it.

Ah San is very fortunate to have the world's largest grain production area at present, even the most humble and lowly class can afford to buy food, and can even go to the wild to find enough food, but don't you just play with your life to create a baby The Gupta dynasty had thrown in nearly 300,000 troops before that, of which 180,000 were killed in two invasions of the Pingban Commandery, and the rest were wiped out and captured during the local resistance.

Of the 300,000 troops killed, about 30,000 were from the southern Kshatriyas, about 20,000 from the allies, and the rest were untouchables who were dragged into battle as cannon fodder.

For a country with a population of nearly 30 million, burying 300,000 people is really not enough to break the bones, and for the Gupta Dynasty, only the 30,000 or so Kshatriya legions will feel distressed.

After all, the total number of Kshatriya legions in the whole country of the Gupta Dynasty was less than 200,000.

Of these, 80,000 were firmly in the hands of the Gupta royal family, the so-called royal guard.

At the extortion conference, the southern nobles were more or less "bleeding", and they also knew that even if they succeeded in driving the Han people out, the real estate in the occupied area could be recovered, but it was absolutely inevitable that they would be extorted again, and their mood was naturally not happy.

"I heard that the Han Chinese did not confiscate the property they referred to as the occupied areas."

Gavara Kunaljedin also had the experience of being defeated and captured, but only once compared to Zampt Warren: "Even the Han Chinese spent money on supplies. ” Zampt Warren had some friendship with Gavara Kunaljeding, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look at it, and he wanted to see something in his expression or eyes, such as a signal of "a fellow believer".

"Don't look at me like that."

Gavara Kunaljedin was looked at a little uncomfortable: "That's not a secret. ” Zampt Warren was almost certain that Gavara Kunalje was not a "fellow believer", hesitated whether to bring people in, and out of a cautious choice, he did not make any moves, and said along with the topic: "It is our families who chose to come to the north, and all their assets have been confiscated.

Presumably because of the confiscation of our assets, the Han people did not lack wealth and did not want excessive exploitation to cause revolt. ” There are many families in the south who choose to recognize Han people as their fathers, and many choose to flee.

If you do the math seriously, the assets confiscated by the Han army can definitely be called a huge amount, anyway, this three-year cross-sea expedition not only recovered the cost, but also made a lot of money.

It's the real estate that accounts for the largest proportion, and the cash is not too much.

"I was in contact with Gallus Utansis some time ago."

Gavara Kunaljedin's family was engaged in ocean trade, and the trade volume with the Utansis family was very high, and they had more contact with each other and became close friends: "He wrote to me that the style of the Han Chinese envoys to Rome was very arrogant, and even directly used troops to fight the garrison in Constantinople. ” Zampt Warren didn't know about this, and showed a curious expression.

"Constantius II does not know why he chose to remain silent."

There was obvious bitterness on Gavara Kunaljeddin's face: "There is no doubt that Rome is a great power, the most powerful country in the West, there is no one.

They chose to be weak in the face of the Han Chinese. ” Zampt Warren showed a numb expression appropriately, but in his heart he was extremely glad for his choice, admiring that the Han Daddy was really strong and didn't care if he had friends.

"First of all, the Persians were very hospitable to the Han people, and the needs of the Han people were met to the greatest extent, and even prepared two princesses of different generations as marriage candidates."

What Gavara Kunaljedin said was still revealed by Marus Utansi.

He sighed and continued: "The Roman Christianity covers the sky with one hand, and the result of offending the Han people is to kill his bishop and pay for his crimes. ” Zampt Warren knew that the Church was a sect supported by the Constantine family, but after the Church grew stronger, it became an obstacle for the Constantine family to govern the country.

"Constantius II also learned from Shapur II's practice and tried his best to meet the requirements of the Han Chinese, and chose two daughters as candidates for marriage."

Gavalakuna Le Jie Ding didn't know what kind of expression to use, but his tone changed to admiration: "The total number of women selected by the two countries to go to the Han Empire is more than 5,000, all of which are arbitrarily selected by the Son of Heaven of the Han Empire. ” Although there were only two people talking all the time, the southern nobles were gathered together to return to their camp, and Gavara Kunalje didn't notice that what he said made the surrounding people show all kinds of expressions, and all kinds of thoughts in their hearts also grew:
