sweeping the world

Chapter 951 The Allies Are Surprised!

"Good news! Great news from the Protectorate of the Western Regions!"

A knight in standard Han military uniform, with a flag case on his back, with three small triangular flags inserted.He straddled the majestic war horse, following the crisp sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the concrete road, he continued to report victory.

On the road, those who stood in front of Hongling's urgent mission all stepped aside, and the residents of Chang'an who heard the shouts all turned their heads to look.

"I heard that the Protectorate of the Western Regions only has [-] sons?"

"It seems to be shouting to wipe out one hundred thousand enemies?"

"Yes, that's really a great victory."

"No, how many people should become Marquis?"

"Who was it?"

"do not know."

When the Han people heard the news, they naturally showed joyful expressions on their faces, but they really lost their excitement.

Where the Western Regions are, people who have never seen them have heard of them.That was when 13 women from the Western Regions suddenly sold in the year before, and some literary works different from Zhu Xia appeared in the shops. Even if you didn’t buy Western Region women or literary works, you should know more or less.

For the current Han people, it is normal to hear good news, but it is not normal to suddenly hear bad news about a certain army in their country one day.

From this victory to another victory, they have been winning all the time. It seems that the Western Regions did not encounter an invasion before the war broke out. People will be happy when they hear that the Protectorate of the Western Regions has won a big victory, but they are happy Ruo Kuang's excitement is really difficult to have this kind of emotion.

Hong Ling, who had reported victory, hurriedly drifted away with the crisp sound of horseshoes. People who had stopped to watch and cheered did what they should do.

On the third floor of a teahouse, Julian stood by the window and watched the reactions of the Han people, with a complex expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Western Regions?" Xyas sat on a bed in a kneeling posture, holding a porcelain cup in both hands with his back straight: "When did the Han Empire take military action against Hunnit?"

Julian turned around, walked a few steps, and sat down in a kneeling posture in a group: "You don't know that the Han Empire started war against Hunnit?"

Xeas felt baffled: "Why do we have to know?"

Julian felt strange, because he was surprised that the Han Empire did not communicate with Persian Sassanid.

You must know that Hunnit was sandwiched between the Han Empire and Persian Sassanid. At present, the Han Empire and Persian Sassanid are allies. Even if the Persian Sassanid only puts a little pressure on Hunni in the west, the Han Empire will The Hungarians can also gain more advantages when they go to war.

They have not left since they came to Chang'an, and they still stay as envoys.

Because they are envoys, no matter how rich they are, they can buy a mansion, and they can only live in the assigned post house.

Not only Julian and Xeas did not leave, but the first batch of envoys from various countries who came to the Han Empire, as well as the many nobles from various countries who came later, plus the people who came one after another, Chang'an alone has There are more than 18 crooked nuts, and there are almost [-] crooked nuts in Jingkou, and the number of crooked nuts in the entire Han Empire has reached more than [-].

It's quite interesting to say that less than 1000 of those crooked nuts who came to the Han Empire took their own ships, and the rest all came to Han territory by boarding ships of the Han Empire at various ports.

In addition to the fact that there are not many ocean-going ships in various countries, there are also ships from other countries that need to pay almost sky-high fees as long as they pass through Malacca, and another expensive fee when they arrive in the mainland of Han. Supplies fees...and so on, all kinds of expenses add up, and the expenses are enough to buy several ships of the same style.

Despite the high cost, there are still foreign ships that have arrived in Han territory by themselves, but they are all funded by the government. The reason is of course that those countries want to use their own ships to take the route themselves.

"The Han Empire knows that we will test the ocean currents everywhere, and only by driving a ship can we experience the voyage." Xias sighed: "They were able to agree to let our ship come over, which proves that they don't really care."

The Han Empire didn't care about countries controlling the routes, but there were so many restrictions and exaggerated fees. At first, the countries really didn't understand why, thinking they were making things difficult.It was only later that they realized that the officials of the Han Empire did those things to create profits for the merchants in the country!
Ships belonging to the Han Empire and private ships naturally need to pay various fees, but the amount of those fees is very reasonable.

The Han Empire did not prohibit ships from other countries from navigating, but ships from other countries cost [-] gold coins for a trip, while ships from the Han Empire might only cost [-] gold coins. no the same.

In that case, they are also merchants. The problem is that merchants of the Han Empire have advantages in goods, and it is obvious what choices consumers will have.

"So what?" Julian didn't feel grief or indignation, but was helpless: "It's only natural for the strong to exploit the weak."

That's how the Romans came here for thousands of years, and it was through continuous exploitation that the glory of the Romans generation after generation came about.

The Persians were not soft when they were able to bully and exploit the weak. Otherwise, the Persians, who had experienced decline and stood up again, would not be in the situation where they are still an empire today.

The truth is that way, standing on the side of the weak understands that it is a universal law, but being able to accept it does not mean that you have no emotions.

"That's right." Xyas smiled wryly, "What can I do?"

If they can beat the Han Empire, whoever is sick will accept exploitation.

The current Han Empire is still using commercial means instead of using force to knock on the country's door. This alone is enough for them to rejoice.

"The Han Empire has been very restrained." Julian said with the thinking of the Romans: "If it is us, only if we can attack and the attacked country has no ability to fight back, there will be no peace."

Xyas also needs to admit this.

The fleet of the Han Empire can even reach Constantinople, and it is not difficult to go to the coastline of Persia and Sassanid.

Now only the Han Empire has the ability to conduct long-distance sea-crossing operations, and no known country except the Han Empire has that ability.It means that even if any country is invaded by the Han Empire, at most it will be a dozen battles to defend the country.

It is the cruel reality that any country, including Rome and Sassanid, knows how to face the Han Empire, and rationally understands that the Han Empire cannot be angered. It can have an equal dialogue with the Han Empire, and even surpass the Han Empire.

There is no shortage of people in power in some countries secretly laughing at the Han people, thinking that if they were the only ones fighting others, others could only fight the homeland defense war, and they would have started fighting earlier without any hesitation.

"Why did the Han Empire suddenly go to war against Hunnitt...?" Julian smiled after finishing speaking. The Han Empire had entered a state of war with Hunnitt before, but the scale of the war became larger: "Do you have any news?"

Xyas is still very annoyed that he did not find out that the Han Empire would attack the Hunnites, otherwise Sassan could have joined the war. Increasing friendship with the Han Empire is one aspect, and the other is Sasanian and Hunnites It is also an enemy country.

The Persians were more than happy to take advantage of things that could teach Hunnit a lesson. Even though they knew about it a bit late, Xyas decided to pass the news back.

Hunnit has been taught a lesson by the Han Empire. Sassan should try to destroy the country when Hunnit is weak. Benefit.

"Although we have received courtesy in all aspects, you also know about other things." Xeas was referring to the fact that the Han Empire was not obliged to announce everything, and the dignitaries of the Han Empire they befriended would only say some irrelevant news: " I didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now that I think about it, I might be able to guess a little.”

Chang'an is the capital, and the number of dignitaries is the largest in the whole territory.

The number of dignitaries increased, so it is a bit exaggerated to say that there is a big banquet every day, but it is normal for people to hold banquets every three days.

Anyway, Julian and Xyas are also the royal family of a powerful country. Some dignitaries will also invite them to banquets just out of politeness. They can hear some news. As for whether the news is useful or not, they have to judge by themselves.

"You mean..." Julian reacted: "They have talked a lot about northern Xinjiang recently?"

"Yes." Xyas nodded and continued: "The Han Empire's action against Hunnitt this time should be to prevent the Western Regions from being threatened by Hunnitt after the war in northern Xinjiang."

Julian was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "The Han Empire is really domineering."

Just because they might be threatened, they took action first. The Han people showed their domineering side, but everything was so reasonable and reasonable. Who made the Han Empire itself have an enemy relationship with the Hunnites.

"The Huns are not weak." Xias dared to swear that he did not say that because Sassan had fallen into the hands of the Huns several times.He said very seriously: "The Han Empire uses one army...is it one army?"

What Julian knew was that the Protectorate of the Western Regions had only one army, but he couldn't guess how many troops the Han Empire used to fight Hunnit this time.

"A standing army may recruit local Han people, but it must recruit people from the Western Regions." Knowing that the military operations of the Han Empire liked to recruit a group of servants from the vassal states, Xeas guessed that the Han Empire would consume the people from the Western Regions: "The Huns The cavalry that Nite can assemble in the east will not be less than 15. We have seen Hongling's urgent emissary who reported victory, and the result of the war is that the Han army will undoubtedly win. It once again proves the strength of the Han Empire."

What they didn't know was that Hunnit's eastern border was ravaged all over, and half of the assembled Hunnit cavalry fell on the battlefield, but there was no division in the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Of the 25 people from the Western Regions who went to the battlefield, there were only a little over [-] left.

If the casualty is used to determine the outcome, it is not the Han Empire camp that lost nearly 22 casualties.

According to incomplete statistics, there should be 50 to [-] Hunnites (including soldiers and support personnel) who died on the frontal battlefield. This is equivalent to the proactive attack of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, which immediately reduced the number of Hunnites by more than [-].

For a country with a population of only about 300 million, losing one-sixth of its population all of a sudden is not just a simple injury.

Coupled with the losses caused by the ravage, Hunnit was almost transformed from a regional power to a second-rate country in less than four months.

The victory report was sent to Miyagi, waiting for Liu Yan's order to fully announce the achievements made by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The personnel from various countries who read the announcement couldn't help but fight coldly.

"It's terrible!" Goodhouse has not left since he came to the Han Empire. He stayed in the Han Empire as a person communicating with Frank and the Han Empire.He spent about four years and spent a lot of money on his own efforts. He can speak Chinese fluently, but he still can't read Chinese characters fluently. He asked the translator: "Is what written in it true?"

The translator hired by Frank was a thin and thin black Nanyang, whose household registration was in Xianglin, Rinan County. He was originally a nobleman of Linyi Kingdom, but now he is one of the naturalized ones.

"Of course it's true." Lin Wen is the new name he gave himself. He held his head up and said proudly: "The big man will not make any false announcements!"

Lin Wen's experience was a bit complicated. When the country was broken, even he didn't believe that he had no resentment, and he was full of gaps in his heart when he changed from a nobleman to a relatively wealthy naturalized citizen. Compared with those who died and became slaves People seem to be very lucky.

From resentment at the beginning to gradually accepting the new identity, Lin Wen felt that he had become a Han again...even if he is naturalized, he is a thousand times more noble than a person who is not Chinese, and his mentality has turned into pride again. He can treat his customers with a proud expression and tone as a matter of course.

"More than 50!?" Goodhouse's eyes widened and his lips trembled: "It's more than the population of our entire country, and was killed by... [-] Han troops in less than four months gone."

Lin Wen was translating very seriously just now. The announcement said that the Protectorate of the Western Regions dispatched nearly 30 troops, but out of pride, he explained that the Protectorate of the Western Regions dispatched an army. The irregular army recruited seemed to be understood by Goodhouse as only the Protectorate of the Western Regions being an army?

Goodhouse doesn't think there is anything wrong with his understanding. Frank has a clear distinction between combat power. The army is the army, and the civilians are the civilians. The army and the civilians will not deliberately confuse.

Even a regular army of 5 is a large number for Frank. If they were to mobilize to the extreme, there would be less than [-] men and women with combat effectiveness.

This notice is in the posthouse area, and the people who came to watch were almost all crooked nuts. They were really shocked by what was written on the notice. The total population of many countries does not exceed 50. He would think about what would happen to his country if he provoked the Han Empire.
