With the three hegemonic and powerful states of the known world, the Great Han, the Great Qin, and the Persian Sassanid as the core, a joint institution between countries was established.
With the last Five-Nation Alliance as a foundation, the central ministers at least had a certain understanding of the proposed alliance, but they were quite unimpressed.
The Han people themselves can play very well, and they don't need the help of so-called allies to expand anywhere, and to some extent, the Han people have never felt that they need any allies, and they insist on having concubines who are also committed to the next Chenghuan, and admitting that other countries have equal status will not only be a joke for the Han people, but also a shame for their ancestors.
Although the Han State recognized the existence of the Five-Power Alliance, it really didn't take this alliance seriously, and didn't even sign any credentials, that is, it didn't join it at all from the official level.
"Their vision is to build strong and friendly relations, and if necessary, to send troops to form coalitions against a common enemy."
Lü Yi is now a presenter, and he will not bring any personal subjective consciousness: "The Sassanid envoys promised that once this organization is established, they will send troops to cooperate with us in the fight against the remnants of the Northern Xiongnu, and they are also willing to provide supplies nearby. ” It seems that in the tenth year of Yuan Shuo, the envoy of Persian Sassanid to Han mentioned the Northern Xiongnu, bringing to the Han people that the Northern Xiongnu have not perished, and even the Northern Xiongnu are still alive and nourishing and continue their journey.
"Our border is at least four thousand miles from the location of the Northern Xiongnu, separated by four countries and an unknown number of tribes."
Xie An did not forget the political task of exploring the Northern Xiongnu, and after entering the Western Regions, he has been collecting news about the Northern Xiongnu: "Basically, as the Persians say, the Northern Xiongnu have been conquest to the west, conquering and destroying the countries and races they encountered, and have gradually regained their strength. ” The Han people are extremely serious about chasing and killing the Northern Huns, especially if the Han people themselves are not caught in civil strife, once the traces of the Northern Huns are detected, it is not a qualified center that does not care about the long journey and the hardships of the journey.
Although the Han State established by Liu Yan has nothing to do with the royal families of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, some political tasks must be carried out to continue to inherit the name of the Han people, including such a thing as the Northern Xiongnu.
"The Northern Xiongnu are currently entrenched in the plains thousands of miles west of the northwest of the Great Han Dynasty, and we have found out from the Persians that the Northern Xiongnu are at war with a group of people called Sarmat and Visigoths."
Xie An's name is basically a transliteration, not necessarily the official name of those ethnic groups, but when did the Han people care about this, he continued: "The minister has an intuition that the Persians do not regard the Northern Xiongnu as enemies, and the Persians still like the Northern Xiongnu to a certain extent.
Then the Persians provided the news of the Northern Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty, and their intention was very obvious. ” The Han people's sense of the Persians is quite complicated, and there are traces of the Persians found in some historical materials, among which the Persians sent tens of thousands of troops to meet the envoys of the Western Han Dynasty, which made the Han people have a good impression.
The Persians who came to the Han Kingdom, they kept talking about the traditional friendship between the ancestors of the Persians and the ancestors of the Han people, and the foundation was that the former Parthian Empire was to welcome the Han envoys with super-standard treatment, and then there was no contradiction between the two countries, although the Persians and the Han did not unite to fight the Huns or the Romans, but the trade was very frequent.
The establishment of the overland Silk Road was indeed in the Western Han Dynasty, and the farthest of the original Silk Road was the Han merchants to the Parthian Empire, and the farthest Han people went to the Mediterranean to wash their boots.
The prosperity of the overland Silk Road that began in the Western Han Dynasty lasted only less than 40 years, and the Huns, who were unwilling to submit to the Han Chinese, moved westward and cut off the overland Silk Road for a time.
Waiting for this group of Northern Xiongnu to be defeated and driven away by the Han people again, the overland Silk Road did not become prosperous again, because the Parthian Empire and Rome entered a decisive period, which led to a sharp decrease in the demand for luxury goods in the Parthian Empire.
Contemporary Persians, at least the Persians who came to the Han Kingdom, talk about "friendship from the ancestors" at every turn, but in fact, the ancestors of both sides did not even hand each other a copy of the official national letter, and there is a kind of friendship to talk about The Han people don't know how the Persians recorded it, but the contemporary Han people have found some sporadic records of exchanges with the Persians, and one of the contents is all about asking the Persians why they didn't protect the Han merchants, and asking the Persians to give an explanation to the Han people, if there is friendship, it must be the Persians as "", but the Han people refuse to be the "s".
It's all about playing politics, and who doesn't know what kind of thoughts a country suddenly pops up, opening its mouth is friendship, and closing its mouth is looking forward to friendship.
"The Persians fear that we will continue to expand westward, and that our troops will be directed at them."
Ran Min has always liked to tell the truth: "What kind of core alliance of the Three Kingdoms was made this time, what the minister saw was that the Persians and the Great Qin people had already wanted to give up their hostility under our pressure. ” It can be said that it hit the nail on the head, two nations that have been fighting for more than a thousand years, they suddenly found that there was a giant beast that came out like that, and after repeated evaluations, they found that they couldn't do it, especially if they were still biting each other, they couldn't do it, and reason drove them to think about giving up the blood, whether to laugh and not say it first, anyway, they couldn't continue to bleed each other.
"The pressure on them from the big man can be imagined."
Ji Chang is somewhat proud, the existence of the Great Han alone can make two mortal enemies who have fought for more than a thousand years want to give up the bloody struggle, and the side also proves that he is quite successful: "What the ministers can't understand is that they think that by forming such an alliance, they can become allies with the Great Han."
Wouldn't it be funny if the Romans and Persians really thought so?
But the truth is that the Romans and Persians thought so, believing in the alliance signed by the king, waiting to be turned into enemies, and that was also the king's telling to cancel the alliance, and it would definitely not be a war during the period of being allies.
On the one hand, the Han people have never signed an alliance with any country, and it has always been the Han people who are playing with a group of younger brothers, simply put, the Han people are not constrained; On the other hand, Zhuxia has gone through the Warring States period and the subsequent periods, and has long not believed that the alliance book will have any binding force.
On Zhuxia's side, the purpose of signing the alliance was to make the enemy lose his vigilance and take advantage of his unpreparedness.
In Rome and Persia, even if they did not strictly enforce the formal signing of the alliance, they would never go to war treacherously without canceling the alliance.
So, it's another ideological generation gap:
