Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2205 Artificial Wetland

But these families with a long history and a decadent atmosphere really want to let go of their hands, not to mention holding an invincible elite like their ancestors, at least they will never be bullied by the inner qi. They definitely have this ability of.

After all, after the official history, there will be chaos in China, and there will be a lot of northern families who have no clothes to travel south. After the collapse of the northern state regime, whether it is for self-protection or other ideas, let go of your hands and feet and build Wubao. For the rest, it is no problem to stabilize their own living place. This is still a family after the nine-rank Zhongzheng system abolished martial arts.

Really let the guys of the Eastern Han Dynasty let go of their hands and feet, just look at the dead Sun Wentai, the big characters on the head of the descendants of Sun Wu, you really think there is no way to train soldiers, tell you, do you believe it, Wei Qing who is close The descendants of all of them have not died yet, so it can only be said that they dare not mess around.

Strong crossbows, armor, and large-scale elites, these three items are almost the bottom line of the Han Dynasty. As long as the aristocratic family does not touch these three items, all the younger generations will continue to obey Liu Xiu's laissez-faire.

Rome is a little more relaxed than the Han Dynasty in this respect, but it is only for a few families. Of course, the main problem is that these families are not easy to manage. Families named as royal families are not just kidding. .

Although the country of Rome cannot be completely said to be founded by these families, they are also deeply rooted in this country. If you even go deeper, these families have made great contributions in the history of Rome.

It can turn the tide, reshape the world, and expand the territory. Although with the advent of the monarchy, these royal families have gradually retreated to the background, but they have left too many traces in this country, so that even if they try hard to restrain themselves It is also difficult to completely hide one's own power.

The seven nobles of Anxi and the royal family themselves held six non-Anxi traditional dual-talent legions and one army soul legion at their peak. Counting the dual-talent legions that Anxi itself can burn talents, the seven nobles of Anxi at their peak held every Every family has one.

The royal family, that is, the Assasis family from Vologis V, as the descendants of the Achaemenid dynasty, the so-called First Persian Empire, was the first to complete the crossing of Asia, Africa and Europe in BC. large monarchical empires.

That is to say, when they attacked Greece, they were defeated by Sparta. They traveled by sea to the Mediterranean and were defeated by Athens by besieging large ships with small boats. They experienced the so-called Battle of Marathon in ancient Greece, the Greek Conquest, the Hippocratic War X3, etc. A series of Asia Minor, Aegean Sea The epic war of civilization, finally Macedonia came out of Alexander, the unlucky guy who was taken away by a wave.

But how should I put it, a bad ship also has a three-point nail, let alone the first big country across Europe, Asia and Africa. Although it was blown up by Alexander, Alexander will die. After his death, the Assassis family Relying on their former identities and their own abilities, the descendants built a new empire after several generations of accumulation.

This is also the origin of Anxi, but this method of gaining supporters without a lot of conquests, relying on the shadow of the ancestors, and relatively good ability to win supporters is actually very hidden. The problem of the family left by Liu Xiu, Asassis I The Legacy of the Seven Aristocratic Problems.

Relatively speaking, Liu Xiu still has a little bottom line, and Asassis I is quite pitiful here. The seven nobles have all obtained the position of head of the country's main army, and they are of the hereditary type, so the seven nobles behind Anxi are arguing In fact, it was doomed from the beginning.

Of course, in the early years, the royal family held a large number of regular elite and military soul legions, and other nobles kept the elite legions obtained from other places. When fighting, the royal family gathered all the noble legions to send troops to fight together.

Even if there is an event that a certain elite army of nobles is completely wiped out in a certain battle, the seven nobles who are already close to the country will recruit new troops from their own forces.

As long as the time for soaking a certain legion is calculated according to a hundred years, and it is still in constant training and running-in, the family that uses it for war, as long as not even the seeds are wiped out, they will be able to survive in just one to two years. Years of training and war will restore the army.

Of course, the fixed routines, while developing the elite talents to the limit, also locked the possibility of their breakthroughs, which can be regarded as gains and losses, of course, this was in the past.

In the era of Trajan, the baton of the seven nobles under the command of the resting royal family disappeared, that is, the Holy Parthian Army Soul Corps was destroyed by Trajan's Legion. The reason, to put it simply, was that the Anxi royal family had lost the support of force since then, leaving only the so-called moral support.

This is why in the past 100 years, there have been more and more civil strife in Anxi, and the domestic situation has become worse and worse. Because the Anxi royal family has lost its power, the number of people who can shake this position is increasing day by day. The system of the seven nobles sharing one army , has truly shaken the foundation of the country.

The original pattern of one big area and seven small ones collapsed directly, and the original situation where the seven nobles defended the royal family was also completely destroyed. Without power, even if the royal family wanted to unite the country, they would have no capital. After all, peace can only be protected by force. within the range.

Up to now, it is not so much the seven nobles of Anxi, but the seven kingdoms that parasitize on Anxi's body and suck blood. It can be said that if there is no moth like Ardashir behind, the next Persian Empire will basically consist of these seven kingdoms. recommended.

The Anxi royal family ruled the seven nobles, and the seven nobles ruled the big and small nobles, just like the enfeoffment of the princes and officials in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains.

All in all, each empire has its internal contradictions, and each empire also has its own advantages. Countries that can be honored as empires have once shocked one side no matter what. They may have problems of one kind or another, but their The system absolutely has its own universality in certain periods.

What Vologis V originally hoped was to completely subdue the seven nobles, just like subduing the Su Lun family before, not to mention other things, to take the double-talent elite and ordinary elite mastered by the Su Lun family into the hands of the country. There will be a significant increase in strength.

It's a pity that the failure of the Su Lun family made other nobles feel wary. Although the victory of Vologis V dissipated a lot of the clouds of Anxi's repeated failures in the face of Rome, this is after all for the bottom and middle classes.

For the seven nobles, they have been completely corrupted, and they are still sinking in the glory of the past. In their impression, Rome is strong, but they themselves are not weak. The reason why Anxi has been failing is because they want to weaken The power of the royal family.

Look at this time, Vologis V has mastered the strength of the Sulun family, so he easily conquered the two rivers, captured Armenia, and even counterattacked to the mainland of Rome. Doesn't this just show how powerful they are resting in peace?
Therefore, based on merit alone, what Vologis V can get is more support from the bottom and middle classes. The corrupt nobles belong to the master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.

What these nobles need is profit, what kind of country, what glory of rest, what is their business, defeating Rome, the benefit is also the royal family, and it has little to do with them, on the contrary, the continuous weakening of the royal family has more practical significance for them .

[Even if you get the Guard Legion of the Esvan der Yar family, plus the two legions of the Suren family and the Karan family, it is not enough. The dual-talent legion is not enough. 】Wologis V felt quite helpless in his heart, and sometimes he really wanted to lead his troops to wipe out the seven nobles.

It's a pity that after the Su Lun family was negligent and suffered once, other families were wary of this aspect, and it was easy to fight a protracted war. As for Anxi, who is about to fight Rome, a protracted civil war broke out in the country. Said it was courting death.

[I can only talk to the Mihran family again, the Armored Cavalry Legion...] Vologis V felt depressed.

On the other side, the Han army, Fars and others who had withdrawn to the vicinity of the two rivers now looked at the land near the two rivers with strange expressions.

"Couldn't this be the defense you built?" The judge stretched his arm, and tapped the flat black mud in front of him with his saber, as if he touched the surface of the water.

"Naturally, I checked some information about Mesopotamia. There are enough wetlands and swamps in this place. In addition, the climate in this place is humid and there are no tall trees, so after we leave here, I will control the celestial phenomena here. It has been raining for more than a month." Chen Gong patted the black mud not far away with his sword, and ripples like water were produced.

"This place itself is a part of a large wetland swamp, but when there is not enough rain, the size of the wetland will shrink, and I gave them enough rain." Chen Gong said with a smile, "The spread is tens of miles, or even more than a hundred. This is my estimated map."

"So ruthless." The examiner, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, and Lu Meng all squeezed over to look at the map Chen Gong took out, and they could only say this in the end.

"Because these wetland swamps will have an extension area when there is enough rain. Although the overlapping parts of their extension areas are not enough, but when there is enough rain, I think they can still become a whole." Chen Gong explained. , and said a little proudly, "Okay, now send someone to investigate the scope of the fortifications I made."

With more than 200 scouting horses scattered out, it took only two days for the Han army to basically determine the scope of the wetland made by Chen Gong. It is obvious that this method of making wetlands based on feeling and historical materials is a big pit. The wetland created by Chen Gong far exceeded his estimated scale.
