Chapter 1020: The World Attacks the Han (11)


It's a big mess If the world is peaceful and there is no war, it will be the greatest sorrow for the soldiers.

Ran Min doesn't think of himself as a hero, but with the decision of the center of the Han Empire not to fight anymore, there will inevitably be a sadness that heroes are useless.

After all, he is a hussar general, and he can't go to a small-scale war, even a medium-sized war, and only a war at the level of a general battle has a chance to play.

As an extremely belligerent person, Ran Min longs for war all the time, and the larger the scale, the better.

"The old man thought he would be silent for at least twenty years."

Ran Min was full of joy and did not hide his love for the war at all: "Twenty years, the old man will be forty-two years old this year, and he will be sixty-two years old in another twenty years."

Even if there is a real war, will it be the old man's turn to lead the army twenty years later?"

The group of people who followed Liu Yan to rise in Weimo, the old ones are already in their sixties, and the youngest ones are in their thirties.

In the current Han Empire, although the nobles of the older generation of the military are all in high positions, they are more of a state of honor, and those who can command in peacetime are only their own personal soldiers, and there are no direct troops.

This is the system of the Han Empire's army, once it reaches the general level or above, it will only allocate its troops in wartime, and if it is rational in non-wartime, no one will run to the army at every turn.

After reaching a certain status, people always have to have some scruples, but they can't mess around with their temperament, otherwise they will have an accident and the family will be implicated.

As an important minister of the military, the state system is there, and he knows that there are taboos and still have to run to the army, whether he is dissatisfied with the formulated system, or he wants to make a certain army his own private army People like Ran Min, who usually behave arrogantly and domineeringly, know that frequent contact with the army is taboo, and they abide by that bottom line very well, and others can be imagined.

After reaching a certain status, there are more places to be careful, and there is really no motivation that the middle and bottom levels can show.

After all, they are all important ministers and dignitaries, and if they climb up, how high will they climb, and whether they should have a big drama to replace them "Ah San is really as surrendered as he shows" Ran Min doesn't want to go to the country anymore at all, even if his eldest son is in the country.

He asked this, not because he was worried about something going wrong with the feudal state, but because he should show concern as an important minister: "Vagathaga and the two Satraps, what is the difference?"

Qian Jiantong is the only one of the several major protectors who is not a marquis, and his current mentality can be said to be very complicated, he is happy that Ah San knows each other, but he is depressed that Ah San knows each other.

In the Han Empire, if you want to be promoted, there is no easier and faster than participating in wars and making meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

Although the military merits of suppressing the rebellion and riots are not as good as those during the National War, they are also military merits Most of the Brahmins in Ah San are really too knowledgeable about current affairs, and a few people who don't know each other have time to make any big moves, just a little move, and the garrison of the Tianzhu Protectorate has not yet been opened, and it has been solved by the Kshatriyas under the command of the other Brahmins and the abnormal party.

So it seems that Ah San is really not stupid, at least he knows how to judge the situation, and he is not blind to see how powerful the Han Empire is.

They may not be as loyal as they appear, but they are not stupid enough to sacrifice themselves for others.

But if you have a little brain, wouldn't you think that if you take the lead in standing up against the Han Empire, you will definitely be suppressed by the Han Empire in the most resolute and cruel way The Han Empire did not show its decline, and it was still as strong as the sky.

At this time, most people think that it is an act of looking for death, and maybe some people are not afraid of death, but they must not want to die without the slightest meaning.

"They" Qian Jiantong was not so naïve, thinking that those brahmins showed loyalty and really believed it: "It is only beneficial or harmful to the Han." ” Just like the Han Empire still allows Ah San's high castes to retain privileges, many things don't need to look at the reasons behind them, just out of the need of a certain stage.

The Han Empire needed the stability of the Tianzhu Protectorate, and the Brahmins chose to show loyalty to the Han Empire, which was on the upside.

Waiting for the day when the Han Empire thinks it should be swept away from the Brahmins, their loyalty will become a harmful aspect.

Raising a dog, raising it for a long time, and the dog is loyal enough, even if you have the intention to kill it, you also need to consider the impact, isn't it "Vagathaga found no anomalies."

Qian Jiantong glanced at Ran Min suspiciously, but still said: "There is something wrong with the two Satraps. ” Qian Jiantong would look at Ran Min with that kind of look, because he doubted that Ran Min would take over the command.

"It's best if there's an anomaly."

Ran Min will not do the of taking over the military power of the Tianzhu Protectorate without the permission of the Son of Heaven, and what he wants to do most now is to return to China: "In the most rapid and violent way, it is not to destroy the country in one fell swoop, but also to play a sufficient deterrent." ” Of course, Qian Jiantong thinks so, and has already begun to deploy.

Thousands of miles away, although Ran Min is a hussar general, he really has no right to take over the command of the army of the Tianzhu Protectorate.

There is only one premise for Ran Min to take over the command of the army of the Tianzhu Protectorate, not that the situation of the Tianzhu Protectorate is erosive, and it can only be the premise that Qian Jiantong dies as a prerequisite to comply with the procedures for taking over the military power.

In fact, taking over the command of the Tianzhu Protectorate army was a trouble for Ran Min.

The Tianzhu Imperial Protectorate was just one of the overseas enclaves of the Han Empire.

Although Tianzhu Protectorate is the largest overseas enclave, it is only a partial, and taking over it is equivalent to Ran Min being tied up in Tianzhu Protectorate, and he is absolutely unwilling to accept such a thing.

Rome and Sassanid were already clearly hostile, and doing those things was tantamount to a declaration of war, and it was impossible for the Han Empire not to respond, so it was inevitable that there would be a succession of wars.

The Han Empire was so far away from Rome that there was only one way to attack Rome, to once again assemble and assemble a huge fleet to carry out cross-sea operations tens of thousands of miles.

The navy is not something that Ran Min can play.

He didn't want to spend at sea for at least a year, or more.

The Han Empire and the Persian Sassanid currently do not currently have a land border, separated by a Hungit, but the Han Empire did not actually take the Hungit too seriously.

Originally, the Hunnite was left because the Han Empire wanted to have a buffer zone with the Persian Sassanids.

For example, the last time he simply invaded the territory of the Hunit, he swept through most of the country's borders with almost no difficulty, and even annihilated the so-called elite troops of sixty or seventy thousand Hunit.

Judging by the experience of that battle, it would not be too difficult for the Han Empire to destroy the Hunnit, and it would be completely possible to mobilize five standing armies and recruit about 200,000 county soldiers or servant troops.

What Ran Min wants to fight for is to be the commander of the Western Expedition, he knows very well that the Western Expedition will not be just one or several major battles, and he can be sure that according to the temper of today's son, this Western Expedition is likely to fight all the way to the west and fight to the end of the Western Continent.

Is there a more energetic conquest than this, absolutely not?

As long as he thought about it for a moment, Ran Min felt that his blood was about to burn Since it was already known that something was going on, and it was a comprehensive accident, it was natural to give up when visiting the country, and even put aside the matter of meeting Ah San to receive some benefits.

It took eight days for Ran Min and the others to rush from Fahrenheit City to Cuttac.

When Ran Min and the others arrived in Ktak, the fleet led by Liang Min happened to have just arrived.

The fleet that had arrived from the Protectorate of Annam did not see the chaos that they had originally suspected, and it should be said that Cuttak was not much different from usual except that the vigilance had been strengthened.

"It should be because the Tianzhu Protectorate has no relationship with gunboats" Chen Tan could only have such a guess: "The army has artillery and has a batch of gunpowder stored."

But one can imagine how tightly guarded it is. ” Liang Min was looking at the newly received official documents.

The official document is written by Ran Min himself, not in the language of an order, but first introduces the situation of the Tianzhu Protectorate, and then asks if he can arrange a ship to send them to Malacca in the form of inquiry.

The handwritten letter from the second person in the General's Mansion is not to mobilize the main fleet to do something, but to negotiate whether it is possible to arrange a boat pick-up.

Liang Min knew very well that the hussar general was able to write the book himself, which had given him a lot of face, especially when he used the words of inquiry and negotiation.

He knew some of Ran Min's reputation, and to be honest, he was a little afraid that Ran Min would have such an attitude.

"Since there is no major chaos in the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate," Liang Min thought for a while and said, "Leave seventy percent of the warships and send documents to the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate."

The remaining formation is mainly Tan Dong, and we escort the hussar generals, the Shaofu Order, and the Ministry of Rites."

The Annan Protectorate is also coming to help, if the Tianzhu Protectorate falls into chaos, naturally they should all stay.

Now that the Tianzhu Protectorate looks at it, isn't it peaceful to leave seventy percent of the warships, which has already achieved the greatest sincerity of the friendly army.

It was only a matter of two or three days from Cuttac to Malacca, and under the premise that there was no task to be limited to death, it was necessary to sell face to the three marquis and a large group of dignitaries A kind of officer of the "Xingyang" will naturally not object, and under the premise that there is no military conflict, it is a rare opportunity to be able to sell the favor of those big people, and whoever does not know how to seize it will be stupid.

In fact, the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate has arranged a fleet to send Ran Min and others, just because the number of fleets in the jurisdiction of the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate is not large, and there are no gunboats, which is relatively shabby.

Ran Min knew that the gunboat "Xingyang" was in Cuttak Harbor, and it was not without reason that he temporarily arrested Zhuangding.

"Those Ah San look very peaceful, and in some ways this is the most dangerous."

Ran Min didn't know what arrangements the Tianzhu Protectorate would make for the gunboat Xingyang, and he said, "Those aliens are very determined to get gunpowder, and they will do whatever it takes.

The old man wanted to be escorted by the Xingyang, which was to avoid some potential dangers. ” In fact, it seems that the military camp of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate was attacked, and the two gunboats under the establishment were also set up.

There are not many artillery pieces equipped in the Tianzhu Protectorate, and the amount of gunpowder they have is also scarce, and they are all very tightly guarded, so there is no attack.

Fu Shou's statement to Ran Min was to smile and not speak.

He had his own judgment on what Ran Min said, which was about seven points true and three points false, and wanted to stay in the "Xingyang" for a period of time, and the starting point was more to understand what the so-called gunboat was, so as to judge what role the gunboat would play once he crossed the sea to Rome.

Gunboats were the absolute main force of the Han Empire at sea, and it was also an inevitable trend for the navy to move from cold-weapon warships to gunboats.

Previously, because there was no need, the navy had only about a dozen gunboats, and according to the plan, it was planned to increase to fifty within ten years.

Now, the Han Empire is about to face a global siege, and after the state system turns into a state of war, many things will inevitably change.

Thousands of miles away in the Han Empire, Liu Yan is leading hundreds of officials on the way back to Chang'an.

"Within two years, the number of gunboats must be increased to thirty" Liu Yan was somewhat surprised by the siege of the whole world this time, but he was not so alarmed: "The Han must firmly control the sea and remain the sole hegemon of the sea." ” Xie Ai was taking notes, and the hard pen in his hand, that is, the pencil, was constantly "swishing" and writing.

They have already arrived in Xingyang, and before that, they will enter the area with a gallop road, and then Liu Yan will take the rail car back to Chang'an as fast as possible.

Slave revolts broke out in the country, and in some places the revolts had been completely suppressed, but in others the revolts had left their tails and were still spreading to the periphery.

In those places, there were local Han Chinese who joined in.

God knows what they were thinking, maybe they thought it was time to change the dynasty, maybe they were coerced, but they were involved in the riots.

"Send an order to the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate."

Liu Yan didn't want to do it all at once, he had his own overall considerations: "Zhao Fuwei formed an expeditionary fleet.

At the same time, an order was sent to the Beiyang Fleet, and the gunboats under the establishment were transferred to the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate and included in the expeditionary fleet sequence. ” Slave revolts would have caused problems for the Han Empire, and would have been big troubles, but it was impossible to say that they would cause erosion.

The Han Empire was not afraid of war on land, especially since the Han Empire now has enemy countries in the west, and the countries in the rest of the directions have basically been swept away.

For the Han Empire, even if the Anxi Protectorate could not block the first wave of danger with the strength of a standing army, it was only a temporary loss of the Western Regions by the Han Empire, and the enemy could not break through the Yangguan Pass or Yumen Pass and invade the hinterland of the Han Empire.

"Your Majesty" Sang Yu said in a sonorous tone: "Back in Chang'an, Your Majesty should issue an edict, and the whole country will enter a state of war." ” It's just special, the Han Empire didn't take the initiative to attack, those deflated calves should be happy, and they took the initiative to provoke a war, that must be the most fierce response:
