"Good news for the Western Regions Protectorate" A knight dressed in a standard Han army uniform, with a flag box behind his back and three small triangular flags.
On the road, the people who were blocking the road in front of Hongling's urgent envoy all moved to both sides, and the residents of Chang'an who heard the shouts all turned their heads to look.
"I heard that there are only 15,000 sons in the Western Regions Protectorate" "It seems to be shouting to destroy 100,000 enemies" "Yes, that's a real victory."
"No, how many people should become Hou Ye" "Who is it to hit" "I don't know."
When they heard the Han people who reported the victory, they naturally showed a happy expression on their faces, but they really didn't have to say how excited they were.
What kind of place is the Western Regions, people who have never seen or heard of it have heard of it to some extent.
That was the year before when there were suddenly 130,000 women in the Western Regions for sale, and there were some literary and artistic products different from Zhuxia in the shops, even if they didn't buy women or literary and artistic products in the Western Regions, they should know more or less.
For the current Han people, it is normal to hear good news, and it is not normal to suddenly hear bad news about which army in their country one day.
From this victory to another victory, it has been winning, and it seems that the war broke out only after the invasion on the Western Regions, and people will be happy when they hear that the Western Regions Protectorate has won a big victory, but it is really difficult to say that this kind of mood is really difficult to say that they are ecstatic.
With the crisp sound of horses' hooves, the people who had paused to watch and cheer should do what they should do.
On the third floor of a teahouse, Julian stood by the window and watched the reaction of the Han people, with a complicated expression and did not know what he was thinking.
"Western Regions" Ksiaias sat on a nursery in a kneeling position, straightened his waist and held a porcelain cup in both hands: "When did the Han Empire take military action against the Hunnit?"
Julian turned around and took a few steps to sit down on his knees in a nursery group: "You didn't know that the Han Empire was at war against the Hunnette" Ksiaias was puzzled: "Why do we have to know?
” Julian would have wondered if the Han Empire had not communicated with the Persian Sassanids.
You must know that the Hunite is sandwiched between the Han Empire and the Persian Sasanid, and at present, the Han Empire and the Persian Sassanid are allies, even if the Persian Sasanid only puts a little pressure on the Hunnite in the west, the Han Empire can gain more advantages by going to war against the Hunit.
They have not left since they came to Chang'an, and they still stay as envoys.
Because of the relationship between the envoys, even if they have money, they can buy a mansion, and they can only live in the arranged post house.
Not only did Julian and Xeias not leave, but the first batch of envoys from various countries who came to the Han Empire, as well as many nobles from various countries who came from the back side, plus the people who came one after another, there were more than 40,000 crooked nuts in Chang'an alone, and there were almost more than 40,000 crooked nuts in Jingkou, and the number of crooked nuts in the entire territory of the Han Empire reached more than 180,000.
It's quite interesting to say, less than 1,000 of those crooked nuts who came to the Han Empire took their own ships, and the rest all came to the Han Territory on the ships of the Han Empire in various ports.
In addition to the fact that there are not many ocean-going ships in other countries, there are ships from other countries that need to pay almost sky-high fees to pass through Malacca, and another large amount of money to pay when they arrive in the Han territory, and at the same time, the berthing fees, repair fees, supply fees, etc., add up, and the cost is enough to buy several ships of the same style.
Despite the great cost, there were still foreign ships that arrived at the Han border on their own, but they were all officially funded, of course, because those countries wanted to use their own ships to take a route themselves.
"The Han Empire knew that we would test the currents everywhere, and we would be able to experience the voyage by driving our own boats."
Xeias sighed, "They were able to promise to let our ships come over, proving that they didn't really care." ” The Han Empire didn't care about the countries mastering the routes, but there were so many restrictions and exaggerated pen costs, and at first the countries really didn't understand why, thinking that they were making things difficult.
It was only later that they realized that the official Han Empire was doing those things to create profits for its own merchants Ships belonging to the Han Empire, private ships naturally need to pay all kinds of fees, but the amount of those expenses is very reasonable.
The Han Empire did not prohibit the navigation of ships from other countries, but a trip by ships from other countries cost 1,000 gold coins, and ships of the Han Empire may only cost 100 gold coins.
In that case, the same merchants, the problem is that the merchants of the Han Empire have an advantage in their goods, and it is obvious what kind of choice consumers will have.
"What can it be" Julian was not sad and angry, but only helpless: "It is natural for the strong to exploit the weak." ” The Romans have been like this for thousands of years, and they have been constantly exploiting the outside world, so that they have the glory of generations of Romans.
The Persians were able to oppress and exploit the weak, and they did not show mercy when they were able to oppress and exploit the weak, otherwise the Persians, who had gone through decline and stood up again, would not have been in the situation of an empire today.
The truth is like that, standing on the side of the weak understands that it is a universal law, and being able to accept it does not mean that there is no emotion.
"yes."
Ksiaias smiled bitterly, "What can you do?"
” If you can beat the Han Empire, whoever is wrong will accept exploitation.
The current Han Empire still uses commercial means, not military means to knock on the door of the country, and this alone is enough for them to rejoice.
"The Han Empire has been very restrained."
Julian said in Roman thinking: "In the case of us, there will be no peace only if we can attack, and the attacked country is not capable of fighting back." ” This is something that Ksiaias also needs to acknowledge.
The fleet of the Han Empire could reach even Constantinople, and it was not difficult to reach the coastline of Persian Sasani.
Now only the Han Empire has the ability to conduct long-distance cross-sea operations, and no known country except the Han Empire has that ability.
It means that even if any country is invaded by the Han Empire, at most it will be a dozen battles to defend its homeland.
It is the cruel reality that makes any country, including Rome and Sasanian, know how to face the Han Empire, and rationally understand that the Han Empire cannot be provoked, as long as it is not out of life, or it is still obscene and developed first, and strive to improve itself to the point that one day it can talk to the Han Empire on an equal footing, and even surpass the Han Empire.
There is no shortage of those in power in some countries who secretly ridicule the Han people, believing that if they only fight others, others can only fight the war of defending their homeland, and there will be no hesitation to start fighting early.
"Why did the Han Empire suddenly go to war against the Hunnit" Julian said with a sneer, the Han Empire had entered a state of war with the Hunnit before, but the scale of the war had increased: "Do you have any news?"
Xeias was still very annoyed that he didn't find out earlier that the Han Empire would take action against the Hunnit, otherwise the Sassanid could have joined the war, and increasing the friendship with the Han Empire was one thing, and the other was that the Sassanid and the Hunnite were also enemy countries.
The Persians were happy to take advantage of the Hunnite and teach it a lesson, and although they learned a little too late, Ksiaias decided to send the news back.
Hunnit had already been taught a lesson by the Han Empire, and the Sassanid might have tried to destroy the country while the Hunnit was weak, even if the Hunnit could not be destroyed, the more declining Hunnit would also be in Sassanid interest.
"We've been courteous in every way, but you know something else."

Xeias pointed out that the Han Empire was not obliged to announce everything, and the Han Empire magnates they befriended would only say some inconsequential news: "I didn't care much about it before, but now that I think about it, I might be able to guess a little." ” Chang'an is the capital, and the number of magnates is the largest in the whole territory.
The number of powerful people is large, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that there is a big banquet every day, but it is normal for people to hold banquets at two ends in three days.
Anyway, Julian and Xeias are also powerful royal families, and some powerful people will also invite them to banquets just because they are polite, and they can hear some news, and as for whether the news is useful or not, they have to judge it themselves.
"You mean," Julian reacted: "They have been talking a lot about Northern Xinjiang lately" "Yes."
Ksiaias nodded and continued: "The Han Empire's action against the Hunnes this time should be to prevent the Western Regions from being threatened by the Hunnes after the war in the northern frontier. ” Julian was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The Han Empire is really domineering. ” Just the first move that might be threatened, the Han people showed their domineering side, but everything was so reasonable, who let the Han Empire itself and the Hunnette be an enemy relationship.
"The Hunnites are not weak."
Xeias swore that he would not have said so because Sassanid had been planted in the hands of the Hunnites several times.
He said with extreme seriousness: "The Han Empire uses an army, it is an army."
Julian knew that there was only one army in the Western Regions Protectorate, but he couldn't guess how many troops the Han Empire used to fight the Hunnette this time.
"A standing army may recruit local Han people, and it will inevitably recruit people from the Western Regions."
Ksiaias knew that the military operations of the Han Empire were very fond of pulling a group of vassal servants, and he more or less guessed that the Han Empire would consume the people of the Western Regions: "The cavalry that Hunnite can gather in the east will not be less than 150,000.
We met with Hongling's urgent envoy who reported the victory, and the result of the war was a definite victory for the Han army.
Once again, it proves the strength of the Han Empire. ” What they didn't know was that the eastern border of the Hunnite was ravaged all over again, and half of the assembled Hunnite cavalry was folded on the battlefield, but the Western Regions Protectorate also did not have a division, and the Han people died more than 13,000 in battle, and the 250,000 people in the Western Regions who went to the battlefield were only a little more than 50,000 left.
If you win or lose simply by casualties, it is not the Han Empire camp that has nearly 220,000 casualties to lose.
According to incomplete statistics, there should be 1340,000 Hunnites including soldiers and logistics personnel who died on the frontal battlefield, and the key is that the number of Hunnites who died in the roaming and raging reached an astonishing 400,000, which is equivalent to the initiative of the Western Regions Protectorate to reduce the Hunnites by more than 500,000 at once.
For a country with a population of only about 3 million, the loss of one-sixth of its population is more than just a matter of breaking the bones.
Combined with the losses caused by the ravages, Hunnit was almost transformed from a regional power to a second-rate country in less than four months.
The good news was sent to the palace city, waiting for Liu Yan's order to fully announce the achievements made by the Western Regions Protectorate, and the personnel from various countries who read the announcement couldn't help but shiver in an instant.
"It's terrible" Goodhouse has not left since he came to the Han Empire, and he stayed in the Han Empire as a person who communicated between Frank and the Han Empire.
It took him about four years, and he spent a lot of money and his own efforts, but he could speak Chinese fluently, but he couldn't read Chinese characters fluently, and asked the translator: "Is what is written in it true?"
The translator hired by Frank was a thin black and thin Nanyang species, registered in Xianglin in Rinan County, who was originally a nobleman of the Linyi Kingdom, and is now one of the naturalized people.
"Of course it's true."
Lin Wen was the new name he gave himself, and he held his head high and said proudly: "Dahan will not cheat in the announcement."
Lin Wen's experience is a bit complicated, when the country was broken, he didn't even believe in himself if he had no resentment, and his heart was full of gaps from a nobleman to a relatively wealthy naturalized member, compared to those who died and became slaves, but he seemed very lucky.
From the resentment at the beginning to the gradual acceptance of the new identity, Lin Wen felt that even if he was a naturalized Chinese, he was a hundred times more noble than a person who was not a Han person, and his mentality had become pride, and he was able to treat his customers with an arrogant expression and tone as a matter of course.
"More than half a hundred thousand" Goodhouse's eyes widened and his lips trembled: "More than the population of our entire country, killed by fifteen thousand Han troops in less than four months. ” Lin Wen was translating very seriously just now, and the notice said that the Western Regions Protectorate had sent nearly 300,000 troops, but he specially explained out of pride that the Western Regions Protectorate had sent an army, and the Han people and the Western Regions were both irregular troops who were temporarily conscripted, as if Goodhouse understood that only the Western Regions Protectorate was an army Goodhouse didn't feel that he had misunderstood, they Frankish had a clear distinction between combat effectiveness, the army was the army, the civilian was the civilian, and the army and the people did not deliberately confuse it.
Even fifteen thousand regular troops were a large number for the Franks, and if they had been mobilized to the limit, the total number of men and women who could fight would not have been 50,000.
This piece of notice is in the post house area, and the people who come to watch are naturally almost all crooked nuts, they are really frightened by what is written on the notice, the total population of many countries does not exceed 500,000, and they can't help but think about what will happen to their country if they provoke the Han Empire
