Chapter 1024 The Fortune of the Empire
"What a chaos!" Liu Shen looked ahead and said, "Are you suppressing the riot?"

In the village ahead, soldiers in auxiliary uniforms could be seen arresting people from the Western Regions.

They had already entered the Anxi Protectorate's jurisdiction two days ago, and they hadn't seen any villages inhabited in the first two days. They didn't expect to see such a scene when they saw the first village.

"I heard that the enemy army exceeds 20." Xu Guang looked at the capture screen with great interest, and guessed: "It should be that the people from the Western Regions here thought they could get rid of the rule of the big man, so they did something."

In fact, that was not the case. It was the Anxi Protectorate's recruitment of servant soldiers that encountered resistance. After a negotiation failed to produce any results, they simply sent troops over.

The last time the Western Regions servants fought with the Han army, although a large number of people made a fortune, the casualties were really heavy.

This time the Anxi Protectorate once again ordered the recruitment, and the people of the Western Regions had two completely different reactions.

The group of people who made a fortune last time, and the other group of people who are envious of the group of people who made a fortune, are full of expectations for the recruitment of the Anxi Protectorate.

There are people from the Western Regions who feel enthusiastic because they have made a fortune or want to get rich, so there must be people from the Western Regions who are afraid of dying and don't want to be drafted.

The village where the arrests are taking place ahead is only showing one thing, the Anxi Protectorate doesn't care what the people from the Western Regions think.

The reason is very simple, as the ruled Western Regions people, it doesn't matter what they think.Because no matter what they think, they just think about it in the end, and there will be no change in the disposal they have to face.

The Han Chinese auxiliary soldiers who were encircling the village and arresting them did not kill people at will. They received the task of gathering the men in this village and sending them to the nearby military camp, not the suppression military order.

"Oh? Why are you reasonable?" Bai Wenqu was a little dazed when asked by the stranger in front of him. He only explained the reason because of the fact that the stranger was wearing a regular army uniform: "The front line needs a lot of cannon fodder. We can kill less Let’s kill less, or there won’t be enough cannon fodder on the front line.”

Come on, it turns out that among the values ​​of some Han people, not killing people from the Western Regions is a kind of reasoning.

"Speaking of the front, what's the situation over there?"

"What else can it be? Our troops rely on the Panchi River as a support, and firmly block the enemy on the other side of the river."

"Still deadlocked..."

"It's already great if we can maintain a stalemate! There are only a few of us, but the other party has nearly 30 people!"

"The enemy has increased their troops again?"

In the end, the Junjishan Colonel's Department mobilized more than 2 people to reinforce Anxi Dufu, about [-] riflemen and more than [-] artillerymen, and the rest were traditional cold weapon troops.

It took them less than five days to enter the Anxi Protectorate's jurisdiction. The news of their arrival had already dispatched cavalry to rule the Anxi Protectorate's shogunate first. step by step instructions.

Because of the marching route, they entered the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion from the northeast, and the first place to enter the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion belonged to the original Yanqi Kingdom.

Yanqi was one of the main forces who resisted the Han army's recovery. Large numbers of Yanqi either died or became slaves. Many villages were completely deserted. That's why the troops of the Junjishan Academy were left for so long. The road just met a village.

It is no secret that Sassanid and Rome took the lead in organizing the anti-Han axis. At the same time, news that more than [-] enemy troops from the two countries invaded the Anxi Protectorate was also spread.

Some interested people are not surprised that Sasanian and Rome will take the lead in organizing the anti-Han axis, because they know how the Han Empire bullied two countries that are both empires, and they have long guessed that Sassanian, who is also an empire and Rome would not be reconciled, but they did not expect that the two countries would raise the banner of resistance to Han hegemony so quickly.

"Captain, there are more than 30 enemy troops exposed on the front line." Xu Guang chose the more familiar title of 'Captain' to Liu Shen instead of 'Your Highness'.He said with a smile: "But after 20 days of attacking, we are still blocked on the west bank. It doesn't look very good."

"Sassan and Rome are both empire-level countries." Liu Shen didn't mean to look down on Sasan and Rome: "The big man took a few steps ahead of them, but the big man's firearms troops have not yet completed the deployment, so we should treat them with caution. .”

Xu Guang smiled a few times and nodded to show that he had been taught.

The army of the Junji Mountain Colonel's Department did not get involved in the actions of the Anxi Protectorate in the area under its jurisdiction, and marched directly towards Gumo.

Along the way, they could see that there seemed to be some chaos inside the Anxi Protectorate's precinct. Even if they didn't take the initiative to inquire about individual news, they would still know the news that should spread.

"Li Duhu compulsorily recruits servants, and plans to forcibly conscript 20." Yang Rui has not yet been formally included in the shogunate of Anxi Dufu, so he does not need to be so formal in terms of titles: "The chaos we have seen should be more than Is it as simple as recruiting servant soldiers?"

"It's wartime control." Sun Fang squinted his eyes: "It should be meant."

After all, the Han people really didn’t regard the people of the Western Regions as their own. Looking at the previous history books, it was recorded that the people of the Western Regions were capricious and had entered a state of war, or that the whole world was against the Han. Naturally, they had to use a high-pressure policy to deal with the Western Regions. people.

The servants of the Western Regions who were recruited in advance were all transferred to the front line at the first time. There were nearly [-] servants of the Western Regions who went to the front line. What Yang Rui knew was that they were exhausted in less than ten days. clean.

"Li Duhu and the enemy are repeatedly competing for a section of the river?" Sun Fang was talking about the section of the river where the riverbed will be exposed in summer: "The competition for the pontoon bridge area is also quite fierce."

The Penchi River is too long, and almost every section of the river can be used as a battlefield. It is conceivable that as the fighting time between the two sides prolongs, the number of river sections that become battlefields will inevitably continue to increase.

"That's a matter of course." Yang Rui said as if he had seen through everything: "The number of enemy troops exceeds 30. At present, they are only focusing on a few places to attack. It is nothing more than a kind of 'inertia'. We It’s impossible to be fooled.”

Because the Penchi River is too long and the water flow is relatively gentle, as long as enough rafts are made, they can start swimming. There is really no strategic point that must be contested.

The Han army was cutting down the woods near the river in advance, but the time was running short. It was really impossible to cut down all the woods, and the enemy still had enough wood to use.

The "inertia" mentioned by Yang Rui is a tactical strategy. It is probably to use a certain offensive method repeatedly to make the enemy's response gradually rigid, and then break that "inertia" when the right time comes. By surprise.

Similar tactics are very common in Zhuxia's war history, and they can often achieve the desired effect, that is, the troops at hand must be sufficient, and the time must be able to afford it.

They spent two days recuperating in Gumo, and got a better understanding of the state of the Anxi Protectorate's jurisdiction.

It can be said that under the high-pressure policy of the Anxi Protectorate, most of the young and strong in the Western Regions once again fell into bad luck. As long as these young and strong in the Western Regions show up, they will be forced to recruit regardless of time and place. People from the Western Regions who have been incorporated as servants do this. Rarely are the Han auxiliary soldiers, and the regular army does not intervene.

Even if you don’t have to go to the scene to see the strong men, there are many pictures if you imagine a little bit, nothing more than a few wolf-like people rushing into a certain room, they roared or screamed at the owner of the room. The lieutenant will pull the man out, followed by crying women and children, and then tie up the young and strong and take them away, leaving the women and children howling in the cold wind.

In addition, some people from the Western Regions who still have time to escape will drag their families and families to flee if they have enough time and opportunity.If the time is too late, he will leave his wife and children and escape by himself. There will be no muddy water when escaping, and he will not even think about whether he will face revenge if he escapes.

In fact, there will be no revenge. Those who came later saw that the master of the family was gone, so they kindly invited the hostess to visit, and even more kindly chose a husband for her, who could be a concubine , also as a female slave.

According to local customs and traditions, that is really doing a good deed. Otherwise, the male master will not appear for a long time, and it will be difficult for her to survive. Even if she can survive, she will suffer from strange men constantly coming to the house. Begging for a warm bed, the rougher one is simply rape.And this is really not nonsense, it is a normal state of people in the Western Regions.

As for the children, they may be kept at home, or they may be taken away.

How can outsiders "pamper" a nation that is so cruel to itself?

Furthermore, as a weak nation, whatever happens to it, misfortune will be misfortune, but it is a law of natural selection.

Even if they are Han Chinese, don’t they still suffer bullying when they are weak?
So, if you want to keep yourself safe, you have to become strong!
Of course, the Han people have the concept of "don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself", but their ancestors have repeatedly taught the value of "not my race".To put it simply, except for the comrades who are human, the rest are just animals that can walk on two legs.Therefore, treating people from the Western Regions or people of any ethnicity like that is not really bullying.

Most of the milder Han people turn a blind eye to foreigners.

The more radical Han Chinese will not choose to do it themselves more often, but will borrow it from others.

As a reinforcement, the Junjishan School Lieutenant's Department set out again, marching together with nearly [-] servants from the Western Regions who were forcibly conscripted.

"The head of the village has been watching them?" Ji Hai asked openly, "Did he feel compassion?"

Liu Shen had indeed been looking at the servants from the Western Regions. When asked, he turned to look at Ji Hai strangely and asked, "Should I have compassion?"

Ji Hai was choked by the rhetorical question.

Of course, the servants of the Western Regions do not have standard military uniforms. They wear their original clothes. Most of the servants are empty-handed.

Only a small number of servants of the Western Regions have guys in their hands. They are a group of relatives with the Han people, and they are also the type of people who voluntarily serve the Han army.They are responsible for driving the other servants of the Western Regions on their way. When they see someone walking slowly, they will go up to warn them, and if the warning is ineffective, they will punch and kick them.When they meet someone who wants to run away, they will catch up and kill them directly.

"These people don't accept Wang Hua, they are not from my race." Liu Shen raised his head slightly and said, "There should be such a catastrophe."

No matter how he is the eldest son of the imperial emperor, Liu Yan usually personally instills some ideas into Liu Shen, the most emphatic thing is "people who are not of my race must have different hearts".

All because Liu Yan was afraid that Liu Shen's heart was "not right". If I worked hard to clear the living space for the Han people, but my son felt that the aliens were really pitiful, he did something to treat the aliens kindly, so that the aliens could breathe and have a chance to become stronger. Waiting One day, the alien race that was treated well became the existence that destroyed the Han Empire. That would be really funny.

However, there is no shortage of such funny examples in the history of Zhuxia, and there is even more than one example, so Liu Yan can't help being nervous.

Yang Rui happened to be passing by on horseback, and when he heard Liu Shen's words, he was instantly relieved.

As the "knives" in Liu Yan's hands, it was their bloody battles that enabled the Han people to break free from the state of being arbitrarily humiliated. It was their countless bloody fights that made the Han people become the undisputed hegemony of the world again. No one is better than them It is more hoped that the next generation of the lord of the empire will be more iron-blooded, and even more iron-blooded. Even if he is not iron-blooded, he must not be a "Holy Mother" heir.

The soldiers of the Han Empire knew that the emperor sent the eldest son of the emperor to the army for training, and all the soldiers who knew the news were in high spirits. Their understanding was that the emperor still believed in the military, and they knew that the military was responsible for the growth of the emperor's eldest son. Escorting is the correct way to cultivate.

Of course, Liu Shen is only the eldest son of the emperor, and has not yet been registered as the crown prince. That is where the military feels a little disappointed. It would be even more perfect if Liu Shen went to the military to train as the crown prince.

In fact, as long as the Han Dynasty is in power, the military without exception is eager for the heirs of the empire to be close to the army. This is a shadow left by the father and son of Emperor Xiaowu of the previous Han Dynasty, which has always shrouded the sky of Zhuxia and has never receded.

The military during Liu Che's period, what they were most afraid of was that Liu Ju would really inherit the general rule, all because Liu Ju opposed the war.

The next emperor's opposition to the war does not mean denying the military's record.Not only are the merits denied, but there is a great possibility that they will be regarded as taints.Needless to say, such a prince must die, no matter what!
"The big man has the eldest son of the emperor. We are so lucky." Yang Rui has been paying attention to Liu Shen. Based on Liu Shen's usual performance, combined with what he just heard, he said happily: "The big man has no worries."

Not only did he have the ardent expectation that Liu Shen could be canonized as the prince, but he also had strong confidence in the education of the royal family.

In fact, the military has always insisted on a point of view, as long as the royal family does not restrain the military's footsteps, the military will definitely be able to make the ball under its feet unique to the Han people!
