Chapter 990: Tianzhu Protectorate


The name Tianzhu first appeared in Zhuxia, and it was recorded that it occurred in the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Che sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, and Zhang Qian learned a news from some countries in the Western Regions, and heard that on a continent south of the Western Regions, there was a very large country over there.

Because of the relationship between languages, the "Tianzhu" known by the Western Han Dynasty is actually the Peacock Dynasty.

However, when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, in fact, the Mauryan Empire had already fallen and was divided into dozens of large and small countries.

Whether those countries in the Western Regions knew that the Peacock Dynasty was over, Zhang Qian had no way of knowing, he carefully collected intelligence, and handed over to Liu Che after returning to China.

As Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, his words and deeds, as well as his play with ministers, must have a historian present, and the record of "Tianzhu" has been written in the annals of history.

The generations of emperors of the Han family after Liu Che basically sent people to look for "Tianzhu", but they didn't find it once or twice.

They were looking for countries with other names, such as the Sunga dynasty and the Baiyan dynasty.

After the fall of the Mauryan Empire, the northern part of the South Asian subcontinent entered the glorious era of Greek civilization, and the Greeks united with the Serbs and Sagas to establish the Greek Bactrian Kingdom of Oklatides, and some Greeks and Indians also united to establish the Indo-Greek Kingdom.

The Greek kingdom of Bactria and the Indo-Greek kingdom are just two of the larger kingdoms in the northern part of the subcontinent, and the other small states and city-states controlled by Greeks can be described as almost numerous.

The north was almost Hellenistic, while the central and southern parts were more chaotic, though not Hellenistic, with the Kashmir states that chose to defend Buddhism and the emerging Vedic religion.

In the face of the decline of Buddhism, Vedic and Brahmanism are rising strongly, and even other sects and religions are also joining in the fun, and people of different faiths have to break out in small conflicts every day, and from time to time there is a big conflict.

It is also a Xunga dynasty that split from the Mauryan Empire.

The founding of this country was the founding of the Sunga country when General Pssimitus killed the last king of the Mauryan Empire, Prihadorada, during a military parade.

As one of the countries that overthrew the Mauryan Empire, the Sunga Dynasty occupied the largest territory in the South Asian subcontinent, ruling the Ganges and Indus valleys.

A little different from some other countries that have fallen into the trouble of religion, the Sunga Dynasty adopted the beliefs of the Mauryan Dynasty, and most people in the country are still Buddhism, religion, believers and disciples.

In order to counteract the influence of the Mauryan Empire, and also to show their correctness and greatness, the rulers undoubtedly wanted to attack Buddhism and support other sects, and they chose Brahmanism, which also opened up the turmoil and chaos caused by the troubles of Buddhism.

Coincidentally, the Baicheng Dynasty, which was also established thanks to the fall of the Mauryan Empire, the second largest country in the South Asian subcontinent at that time, did not escape the chaos of religion.

Several generations of Han people looked for "Tianzhu", and the Peacock Dynasty perished, of course, there was no country that was transliterated as "Tianzhu", but I don't know what was going on, and it was followed by nearly 20 countries and city-states such as the Baicheng Dynasty, the Jialingqi and the Donghui Kingdom, which entered the tributary system of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Tianzhu" in the Zhuxia records became the Baicheng Dynasty, while the Xunjia Dynasty was destroyed.

After the fall of the Sunga Dynasty, the northern and central territories fell to the invading Kushans, and some of the surviving states, such as Dasana and Nashikda, also sent a plea to the Eastern Han through the Baicheng Dynasty, asking the Han Chinese to help defend against the invasion of the Kushan Empire.

In the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is no record of receiving help from the South Asian subcontinent, but there is a record of the Parthians seeking to become allies, that is, the Eastern Han Dynasty did not pay attention to the Parthians at all.

At the same time, in some official documents sent back to Chang'an, the Eastern Han Dynasty's Western Regions Protectorate mentioned that the Protectorate sensed the Kushan Empire's invasion of the Western Regions and easily crushed the Kushan Empire's ambitions for the Western Regions.

"Therefore, they are part of the tributary system of the Central Plains, and it is legally reasonable for us to send troops to the Asan Continent."

Huan Wen was holding a history book in his hand, full of greatness and justice, and his words were even more reasonable: "Our subject country was destroyed by them, how can we not do anything as a suzerain?"

Qian Jiantong, who was about to leave for the Asan Continent to take up the post of Protector of the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate, kept nodding his head in agreement.

At this time, no one will say, for example, no matter which country on the Asan continent established a tributary system with the Western Han or Eastern Han Dynasty before, the current Han Empire only inherits the name and spirit of "Han", and the Son of Heaven is not a descendant of the old Liu family.

Of course, in fact, Liu Yan didn't know if he was related to the old Liu family, which established the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, and that was something that could never be figured out.

"The hussar general originally suggested that Your Majesty should be named Ah Sandu Protectorate."

Huan Wen's brain hurts when he talks about this, he is now an official on both the military and civilian sides, and when it comes to government affairs and military affairs, he is usually used as a bridging medium, and whenever there is any disagreement, he must be entangled by both sides: "The three provinces are naturally opposed, and the general's palace is also opposed."

Behind it, His Majesty took the name of Tianzhu Protectorate. ” Ran Min has been so idle that he has been panicking recently, and he will not interfere in major matters, and some innocuous little things are very fond of catching people and messing around.

For the naming of the Duhu Mansion, after Ran Min made a fuss, he first asked Ji Chang to go alone, and then yelled for Ji Chang and Xu Zheng to go together, he wanted to single out Xu Zheng and Ji Chang alone, and shouted that the people who wanted to stand on Ji Chang and Xu Zheng's side could also be side by side, and he took it all.

Of course, the fight between the ministers did not start, but Liu Yan summoned Ran Min alone on a certain day in a certain year and month.

That day, Ran Min came out of the palace with two blue eyes, and when he walked out of the palace gate, he also limped one step at a time, and his hand was still pressing his old waist.

What gossip happened to the core ministers, it didn't take long for the entire specific circle to spread, and the news that Ran Min was beaten by Liu Yanfat made all the ministers who were qualified to know happy for more than half a month.

Ran Min, who became the object of fun, was not annoyed, and as soon as someone mentioned it, he proudly said that he fought with Liu Yan for dozens of rounds before losing.

Liu Yan has not personally been on the battlefield since he became king, but the whole country still praises him for his brave and invincible prestige.

In fact, regardless of whether Liu Yan is brave or not, anyone who can be beaten by the Son of Heaven and still live a good life is undoubtedly a thing worth boasting about and proud of.

After all, not everyone has the qualifications to be beaten by the Son of Heaven himself, so it is not a manifestation of intimacy Qian Jiantong happened to be one of the people in the know, he envied Ran Min for having such treatment, and was glad that the Son of Heaven did not adopt the name of Asan Du Hufu.

The Han people are now Ah San, Ah San, and Ah San, and although no one knows why Liu Yan is called "Ah San", they all understand that it is a contemptuous title.

Official institutions use contemptuous titles, and whoever takes over that institution is depressed.

It is good to use the title "Tianzhu", firstly, it is more formal, and secondly, it is to show from all sides that the Han people have reasonable and legal ownership over there.

What are those countries that paid tribute to the Western Han or Eastern Han Dynasty have perished, I don't know how long, this statement is agreed by the Han people The Han people destroyed the Gupta Empire, and did not look for the descendants of the previous subject countries to restore the country, that is, the Han people are trying to find it, and they will find it one day.

"Just give an explanation."

Huan Wen said without concealment: "It's just a statement."

Don't say you can't find it, but you really found it" compared a gesture of wiping his neck, and signaled with his eyes that Qian Jiantong should understand.

"The last general understands, understands completely."

Qian Jiantong knew that one of his tasks as the protector of the capital, who dared to show that he was a descendant of a certain royal family, if he could conceal it, he would do it directly, and if he couldn't hide it, he had to engage in a shipwreck.

What he wanted to know was: "The Ministry of War has requirements for the countries around the Metropolitan Protectorate" Qian Jiantong left the General's Mansion earlier and came directly to the military headquarters to find Huan Wen.

The attitude of the general's mansion is that there is no attitude, Xu Zhengming clearly told Qian Jiantong that the Tianzhu Protectorate will do whatever he wants, provided that he can hold it, if he does it, he will wipe his ass locally, and those enemy countries that have entered a hostile state will definitely be destroyed, but Qian Jiantong can only choose one way to roll back to the mainland.

"Request" Huan Wen looked at Qian Jiantong with surprised eyes, and saw that Qian Jiantong was uncomfortable for a while, and then said: "On the premise of not conflicting with the resolution of the General's Palace, the Ministry of War has only one suggestion. ” What Huan Wen said was a suggestion, not an order, nor a request, because the military department did not have the authority to issue orders to the troops.

Qian Jiantong made a gesture of listening.

"You know, the south side of the Han is trading slaves for slaves on a large scale."

Huan Wen said that the Nanyang monkey has received countless bad reviews, and the center proposed to replace it with Ah San, and it has entered the practical operation stage: "Not only must we maintain the delivery to the mainland, but if we can increase the number, the capital can also profit." ” Qian Jian's same guessing department also attaches importance to this.

The military department of the Han Empire is more like a logistics department of the army, and they are involved in much more production-related than military-related.

If you want to be a big rat and stare at the military quartermaster to do things that enrich your own pockets, this official position will undoubtedly be a beauty difference.

But he has no idea about filling his pockets, and what he desires is to lead the army to fight, so it may not be very comfortable for the secretary of the military department.

It was because the military department did not have much military power that Huan Wen concurrently served as the Zhongcheng of the General's Mansion.

What kind of explanation did the General's Mansion give to the Tianzhu Protectorate, as long as it would not cause fatal trouble to the military department, Huan Wen's tendency was to focus on the resolution of the General's Mansion.

He will have such an attitude, also because in addition to allocating resources, the military department really has no place where it will conflict with the general's mansion.

"Tianzhu Protectorate has a subordinate navy" Huan Wen was not actually asking, he said that sentence was to pave the way for the following words: "For the time being, we have not discussed how big the scale will be, and it must still be possible to maintain the safety of the route." ” The name is called the Metropolitan Protectorate, but if there are three standing armies, with the strength of the Standing Army of the Han Empire, a Metropolitan Protectorate with three standing armies is actually stronger than some of the big countries on that continent.

There are three elite standing armies, plus a navy with warships that are more advanced and powerful than anyone else, not to look down on any countries on the Asan continent, but to look down on all the countries on the current side, if the Tianzhu Protectorate ignores the influences, such as involving the nerves of Sassanid and Rome, it is fully capable of launching a war of annihilation on the Asan continent.

"Route" Qian Jiantong instantly knew what Huan Wen was talking about, and he didn't dare to have any guarantees, so he said casually as if he was inadvertent: "I don't know what the size of the navy of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate is." ” The jurisdiction of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate is the entire peninsula, which is much longer than the coastline of the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate, and at the same time, the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate has been transformed from the Pingban Captain's Department.

The previous Pingman Lieutenant Department had a large naval force.

Since the Pingman Captain's Department has been expanded into the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, then both the army and the navy must also be under the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, unlike the newly established Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate, which has no foundation for rematching the troops.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

Huan Wen said with a smile: "Didn't you establish the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate at the same time, the navy over there only left a necessary part, and the rest was deployed under the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate." ” Qian Jiantong didn't know the news, and the picture of Si Hongzhuang jumping on his feet instantly appeared in his mind.

"Understood."

Qian Jiantong had obvious joy on his face, and agreed: "It is the duty of the Tianzhu Protectorate to maintain the Han Dynasty. ” Since the size of the navy of the Annam Prefecture has been reduced, it will definitely strengthen the naval strength of the Tianzhu Prefecture, or there will be a vacancy in the military strength of the sea in the three oceans.

The center will not ignore Ah Sanyang, once the Han Empire does not pay attention to it, it will let the rest of the forces have the mind to snoop, which is absolutely not allowed.

"Good."

Huan Wen also laughed and said, "It's best that you can think like that." ” Qian Jiantong is not stupid, he can guess that Huan Wen is mentioning himself.

To know one thing clearly, the Tianzhu Protectorate will become the farthest from the Han Empire's mainland of a sphere of influence, if it is in other places, it may be the same thing, but the Tianzhu Protectorate is not far from the newly discovered African continent, especially if the Han Empire wants to go to the African continent, it must be one of the transit points, then it is special.

The Han people discovered the African continent and knew that there were a large number of indigenous people there, and they didn't know how many people sent slave hunting teams, or even simply formed slave hunting fleets.

As the protector of the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate, Qian Jiantong provides a little protection or convenience, which is to sell the face and favor of those who have interests involved, perhaps this will become Qian Jiantong's biggest gain when he takes office as the Protector of the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate:
