sweeping the world

Chapter 758 Will it be a joke?

Bailongdui is the name of a very wide area, which includes a huge lake and fertile grassland with a radius of more than a hundred miles around the lake.

If it's just water and grass, there are plenty of places like this on the grassland, but that lake is called Puchanghai.

Puchanghai is a salt-producing lake in the Western Regions, and it is also the largest salt-producing base in the Western Regions.

The former Cheshi, Shanguo, Weili, Loulan, Pulei, and countless other tribes have played out their brains for the ownership of Puchanghai. Even other big countries far away from Puchanghai will also participate in the fight for salt. Before the Han army in the Western Han Dynasty stepped into the Western Regions, the Huns came and controlled Puchanghai, and then massacred all countries in Puchanghai, so they controlled the countries in the Western Regions.

The Western Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu on the grasslands, marched into the Hexi Corridor and entered the Western Regions. The first important strategic goal was Puchanghai. All because controlling Puchanghai is equivalent to controlling the largest salt-producing land in the Western Regions. One after another, they went to destroy the countries in the Western Regions, and those countries could only submit in order to get the salt.

"Our first goal is it (Puchanghai), and it can only be it."

This is Li Kuang's first time as the supreme commander of the legion who has been going out to fight. Of course, he really wants to seize the opportunity. From the moment the appointment is issued, he has been studying the Western Regions. I don’t want to show off my abilities by playing special.

"The early Han Dynasty started from controlling Puchanghai as the starting point to conquer the Western Regions." Li Kuang stretched out his hand and made a clenched fist gesture: "The Western Regions today are no longer the Western Regions of the Early Han Dynasty, but the geographical location has not changed much. Puchanghai is still The largest salt-producing area in the Western Regions!"

The Han army’s journey of conquest in the Western Regions began when Xi’an mastered Puchanghai, and successively controlled Loulan, Shanguo, Weili, Pulei and other countries.On the one hand, the Han army was constantly competing with the car divisions in the north of Puchanghai, and on the other hand, it set its sights on a country called "Big Xia" further west.

"Conquering the Western Regions is only the first step." Of course Wang Quan knew what it meant to be the marching commander of this army. He grinned and said, "We will also look for the country called 'Big Xia'."

Hearing the name of the country "Great Xia", the eyes of everyone in the military tent lit up.

The country named "Great Xia" in the Western Han Dynasty is actually Greece-Bactria. The two countries have never had contact, but there is a saying that "Great Xia" is the descendant of Zhu Xia.The Han people at that time didn’t care about Greece—Bactria was a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed people, and they firmly believed that they were “same robes”, and since they were “same robes”, they had a natural obligation to rescue them from the oppression of others, Enjoy the grace of Liu Che, the emperor, together.

To put it bluntly, the naming of the Han people is very particular. The country "Great Xia" also has a special status in the history of Zhuxia. "Sometimes it is a white-skinned Di person, and another moment it is the name of a country that doesn't even know what race it is. Anyway, it is what Zhuxia thinks it is.

Those who understand the civilizations of the Xia Dynasty know a little bit, first of all, "there is no two suns in the sky, and there are no two kings in the earth", and then "there is no king in the world, and the king's subjects on the shore of the land". Obtaining the grace (government) of the Son of Heaven is relatively mild, as long as it is land, it is the place under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, and as long as it is a person, it is called overbearing if it is subject to the rule of the Son of Heaven.

"Great Xia", a country that has always been mentioned in the history books of the Xia Dynasty, has the meaning of its existence to call on the descendants of the Xia Dynasty to explore. As for whether they are descendants of the same Miao, it doesn't matter at all.

From the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty to the west, until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the search for "Great Xia" was never given up. The country "Great Xia" has never been found, but the military boots of the Han army have been stepped on to Congling, and even stepped on West of Lake Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan).

"'Big Xia' must be found." Li Kuang knew that it was a follow-up matter, and he could not take the lead, but he still wanted to cheer up: "It is my fault that some people were lost outside."

No one has any objection, if they don't do it, they expect to be pointed at the spine if they don't do it, and not only do it, but do it as best they can.

Many people actually know what's going on. They don't necessarily have to find the so-called "Great Summer", and it's better not to find it forever. Then they can use this "mission" to drive continuous exploration and development. It will be produced in continuous conquest.

Not only is there a journey from the pre-Qin period to the Eastern Han Dynasty to search for the "Great Xia", Liu Yan didn't know what the "Great Xia" was, and when he didn't recall it, the Han Kingdom today also has a search for the "Great Xia". Responses to save the comrades from the fire and water.

Now that I have lived a good life, it is necessary to bring my distant colleagues to enjoy the blessings together to see what a simple thought and great sentiment this is. As for what those colleagues have experienced in the long history, for example, because of generations and In intermarriage, even the color of the skin changes. Even if you become a white-skinned person, you are still the same!

Since we still recognize them as compatriots, how can we let them suffer outside? Rescue is a must, and then we have to let them learn Chinese characters again, and the thoughts in their minds must be synchronized with the local compatriots. What kind of cars are on the same track and books are in the same text? We tried all the same measures again, and worked hard until those distant relatives firmly believed that they were Han Chinese, even if they were white-skinned, they must be Han Chinese!
What are cars on the same track, books on the same text and same weight?That’s great unification!
There will be wars in Zhuxia, and the wars will lead to the occurrence of separatist regimes, but even the weakest separatist regime will dream of reunifying the world, and the powerful separatist forces will simply take action. There is the so-called "long-term division must be combined and long-term division must be divided".

Other civilizations that do not have a unified market, even if they once had a huge empire with a vast territory, but once that empire falls into the grave, what the powerful people want is self-reliance. After self-reliance, of course there will be wars against each other, even A powerful force in the back restored the territory of that perishing country again, and they fought only for the desire of expansion. They really didn't want to unify the "world" again.

In addition to the Zhuxia, if the same nation after the division does not have an absolutely powerful force to wipe out the rest of the forces, after a long period of self-reliance, the countries will not have the determination to "unify", and then as time goes by, Originally of the same race began to evolve into different races.

The simplest reason is that the Romans named the Germanic nation.This Germanic nation is now undergoing a process of national division. One of the tribes is called the Franks. They still belong to one of the Germanic tribes. The problem is that after the collapse of Western Rome, the Franks occupied a huge territory in Western Europe. The first thing they did The thing is to part ways with other old brothers. Anyway, "I am rich, why should I care about those poor relatives?" Later, I simply didn't think that I was a Germanic nation, and went with the local indigenous Gauls.

If it is in Zhuxia, even if there is a place where people can stand on their own, no matter how long it takes, it won't happen that from top to bottom they don't think they are from Zhuxia.Those people may be disgusted or hostile to the regime that dominates Zhuxia, but absolutely no one dares to deny that they are descendants of Zhuxia, let alone think that they are another new nation or something.

For today's warriors of the Han Kingdom... especially those with higher status, the theory of "great unification" is very appetizing, or the kind that doesn't care whether a certain ethnic group is a descendant of Zhu Xia, anyway, I think it is, this kind The argument sounds like nonsense at first, but they think that's the way it should be.

There are no other factors, nothing more than being able to continue to develop and fight. Only those who have war can make meritorious deeds, and only those who have military exploits can seal their wives and sons.

No, the "Great Xia" in the Western Han Dynasty was still the Greek-Bactria, which lived farther west in Kangju. In the current Han Kingdom, no one cares which country the "Great Xia" is, so they simply didn't point it out directly, saying it was That country is "Great Xia", that is, they are unwilling to directly point out that a country is "Great Xia", what they are afraid of is that once they hit the country they think is "Great Xia", they will have no excuse to continue fighting.

Of course, another factor is that compared with their ancestors, the current Han people have a clearer understanding of the world structure. They know which countries are in the Western Regions and further west, and they even know that there is a country called Rome in the far end of the land.

By the way, in addition to bringing up "Great Xia" again, the Han Dynasty clearly knew that the overlord of Europa was called Rome, but they didn't know when the Han people stopped calling Rome Rome and changed to "Great Qin".

The word "Qin" has many meanings, one of which is "the far west". For example, in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when they said people from the West, they called people from Qin.Then people living in the far west, their tribe is called "Qin". Qin people have this name because of the region, and then it becomes the name of the tribe.They summoned their children to escort the king of Zhou to move eastward, and the canonization of the king of Zhou also used "Qin" as the title, and gave a reward from King Qin.

After the Qin people, if there is a dynasty that named a country in the far west "Qin", interpreting it based on the characteristics of the civilization of the Xias, the intention could not be more obvious, that is, to use the special ideas of the Xias to name the country "Great Qin" The country is regarded as "things in the bowl", and one day the country called "Da Qin" will be "unified" under the grace of the same emperor.

Scared to pee yet?That's what Zhu Xia implicitly said, I named you, and we took the name, so you are definitely our people.

So, if Zhuxia named foreign countries in history, it depends on what kind of name it is. As long as it can be related to the place of "Kyushu", it is actually a wish, and we must digest and integrate that place.

The Romans didn’t know Zhu Xia’s implicit way of expression. They were confused when the Han people suddenly changed their address to themselves. They learned that “Qin” in the history of Zhu Xia refers to people in the far west, and then they knew that Zhu Xia had hundreds of people. Years ago, there was a country called "Qin", especially that country called "Qin", which also unified the Xia Dynasty, which caused the Romans to call it happy.

Olus Sextus Cicero is in the Western Regions, and he is in the military tent at this moment.He has already learned Chinese, and there is no difficulty in ordinary communication, but he is blind to the allusions and stories behind some Chinese idioms and words.

"It's no wonder that Seris will become stronger again even after suffering disasters." Aulus Sextus Cicero heard the Han people want to find the comrades of the country called Daxia, and the first impression It is: "Never give up on your comrades, and want to share your happiness with your comrades. What can be more cohesive than this?"

Wang Quan is the commander-in-chief of the army. It is his job to consider and arrange the battle plan. Since there are special people in the army, there is an extra responsibility for fooling around. Facing the feelings of Aulus Sextus Cicero, he can't even think about it. I don't want to nod: "Our ancestors have long said that 'although an inch of land is small, it cannot be lost'. Land is still precious, let alone compatriots of the same blood."

Aulus Sextus Cicero has been in Han for nearly a year and a half. The more Han people he comes into contact with, the greater the impact he will have, especially in order to understand what kind of country Han is. After reading Zhu Xia's classics, I already know Zhu Xia's idea of ​​great unification, and I think it is a very powerful idea.

Precisely knowing the existence of the Great Unity, Aulus Sextus Cicero kept writing letters back to his native land, introducing what the Great Unity is to his superiors and colleagues, emphasizing that Rome should also have such a Thought, we must not allow Rome to continue to be divided.

The thought of great unification from the far east shocked too many people, and Constantius felt like a treasure after learning about it. They didn’t really understand the thought of great unification, but it didn’t prevent them from approving and propagating this thought. Then wrap it up and make it your own mission.

"The Western Regions were originally the lands ruled by the great Han, but our ancestors allowed them to become princes and kings." Li Kuang said naturally: "Our march this time is to let them return to the big family again."

"It should!" Olus Sextus Cicero didn't care so much, he said firmly: "The land that was once lost must be taken back again."

Among the forces of Aulus Sextus and Cicero, why do they want to promote unity? They want to create a bright, great, and just background for Constantius. On the other hand, It means that Constantius did not fight his brothers to death for power, but to ensure the unity of Rome.

The Romans believed in the "Great Unity of God" and could still benefit from it. It is unreasonable not to raise all four limbs to agree with the argument that the Han people feel that the land they ruled will always belong to the Han people!
