sweeping the world

Chapter 983

The first record of the name Tianzhu appearing in Zhuxia occurred in the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Che sent Zhang Qian on a mission to the Western Regions. Zhang Qian learned a piece of news from some countries in the Western Regions. He heard that there was a very large country on a continent to the south of the Western Regions.

Because of language, the "Tianzhu" known in the Western Han Dynasty is actually the Maurya Dynasty.

However, when Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, the Maurya Dynasty had actually perished and split into dozens of countries, large and small.

Zhang Qian had no way of knowing whether those countries in the Western Regions knew that the Maurya Dynasty was over. He collected information seriously and reported it to Liu Che after returning home.

As the emperor, Liu Che, his words and deeds, and his confrontation with the ministers must have a historian present, and the records about "Tianzhu" were written in the annals of history.

After Liu Che, several generations of emperors of the Han family basically sent people to search for "Tianzhu", but failed to find it once or twice.

They found countries with other names, such as the Sunga Dynasty and the Baichen Dynasty.

After the fall of the Maurya Dynasty, the northern part of the South Asian subcontinent entered the glorious age of Greek civilization. The Greeks, the Serbians, and the Sakyas jointly established Greece-the Kingdom of Bactria (Eukrates Dynasty), and some Greeks Indians and Indians also jointly established the Indo-Greek Kingdom.

Greece—Kingdom of Bactria and India—Kingdom of Greece are just two of the larger kingdoms in the northern part of the South Asian subcontinent. There are almost countless other small countries and city-states controlled by Greeks.

The northern part is almost Hellenized, while the central and southern parts are more chaotic even though they are not Hellenized. For example, Kashmir (state), which chose to defend Buddhism, is in constant conflict with the emerging Vedicism.

Along with Kashmir, Aldan Barrow, Nagaya, Three Caves, and Youdhia, which are in the northern part of the South Asian subcontinent, also got into trouble with religious religions. Facing the decline of Buddhism, Vedicism and Brahmanism However, religion is rising strongly, and there are even other religions joining in the fun. People of different beliefs break out small conflicts every day, and there will be big conflicts from time to time.

It is also the Sunga Dynasty that split from the Mauryan Dynasty.The establishment of this country was when General Pusyamitha killed Prihadorada, the last king of the Mauryan Dynasty, during the military parade, and then the country of Sunga was founded.

As a country that destroyed the Mauryan Dynasty, the Sunga Dynasty occupied the most vast territory of the South Asian subcontinent, ruling the Ganges River Basin and the Indus River Basin.

A little different from some other countries that have been in religious troubles, the Sunga Dynasty adopted the belief concept of the Mauryan Dynasty, and most people in the country are still Buddhist believers.In order to counteract the influence of the Maurya Dynasty, and also to show their correctness and greatness, the rulers undoubtedly wanted to attack Buddhism and support other religions. They chose Brahmanism, which also opened up the religion because of Buddhism. The turmoil and chaos that arise from teaching trouble.

Coincidentally, the Baicheng Dynasty, which also benefited from the demise of the Mauryan Dynasty, was the second largest country in the South Asian subcontinent at that time, and they did not escape religious chaos.

Several generations of Han people searched for "Tianzhu". After the Maurya Dynasty perished, of course the country that was transliterated as "Tianzhu" disappeared, but I don't know what happened. Behind it was the Baicheng Dynasty, Galingji and Donghui Kingdom, etc. Nearly twenty countries and city-states entered the tributary system of the Central Plains dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Tianzhu" in the records of Zhuxia became the Baicheng Dynasty, while the Sunga Dynasty was destroyed.

After the collapse of the Sunga Dynasty, the northern and central territories fell into the hands of the Kushan people who invaded later. Some surviving countries, such as Dasana and Nashi Keda, also sent help to the Eastern Han Dynasty through the Baicheng Dynasty, asking the Han people to help resist Invasion of the Kushan Empire.

In the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is no record of getting help from the South Asian subcontinent, but it is recorded that the Parthians sought to become allies, that is, the Eastern Han Dynasty ignored the Parthians at all.

At the same time, some official documents sent back to Chang'an by the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the Eastern Han Dynasty mentioned that the Protectorate of the Western Regions was aware of the Guishuang Empire's invasion of the Western Regions and easily shattered the Guishuang Empire's ambitions for the Western Regions.

"So, they are part of the tributary system of the Central Plains. It is legally reasonable for us to send troops to the Asan Continent." Huan Wen held a history book in his hand, full of greatness and justice, and spoke even more confidently: "Our vassal country was destroyed by them, how can we do nothing as the suzerain country?"

Qian Jiantong, who was about to leave for Asan Continent to take up the post of the Protector of Tianzhu Protectorate, kept nodding his head in agreement.

At this time, no one will say, for example, regardless of which country on the Asan continent established a tribute system with the Western Han or Eastern Han, the current Han Empire only inherits the title and spirit of "Han", and the emperor is not Lao Liu Descendants of the family.

Of course, in fact, Liu Yan didn't even know whether he was related to the old Liu family who established the Western Han and Eastern Han.

"General Hussars originally suggested to Your Majesty to name it the Asandu Protectorate." Huan Wen's brain hurts when he said this. He now has both military and civilian positions. When he is involved in government and military affairs, he is usually regarded as a bridge The media, whenever there is any disagreement, will be entangled by both sides: "The three provinces are naturally opposed, and the general's mansion is also opposed. Later, His Majesty made the decision to take the name of Tianzhu Protector's Mansion."

Ran Min has been too busy to panic recently, and will not interfere with major matters, but likes to catch people and mess around with trivial matters.

For the naming of the Duhu Mansion, after Ran Min made a fuss, he first asked Ji Chang to single out, and then shouted for Ji Chang and Xu Zheng to go up together. He wanted to single out Xu Zheng and Ji Chang, and clamored that he wanted to stand The people on Ji Chang and Xu Zheng's side were also able to stand side by side, and he took them all with all his might.

Of course the ministers didn't fight each other, but Liu Yan summoned Ran Min alone on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month.

That day when Ran Min came out of the palace city, his eyes were darkened, and when he walked out of the gate of the palace city, he was also swaying every step, with his hand still on his waist.

It didn’t take long for the gossip about what happened to the core important ministers to spread to the entire specific circle. The news about Ran Min being beaten up by Liu Yanpang made all the ministers who were qualified to know it amused for the most part. moon.

Ran Min, who became the object of fun, was not annoyed. Whenever someone mentioned that matter, he proudly said that he had fought with Liu Yan for dozens of rounds before losing.

After Liu Yan became king, he never went to the battlefield in person, but the whole country still praised his reputation of bravery and invincibility.

In fact, regardless of whether Liu Yan is brave or not, anyone who can live well after being beaten up by the emperor is undoubtedly something to brag about and be proud of.After all, not everyone has the qualifications to be beaten by the emperor himself. Isn't it a manifestation of intimacy?
Qian Jiantong happened to be one of the insiders. He envied Ran Min for being treated like that and was glad that the emperor did not use the name Asan Protectorate.

The Han people now refer to the land and people as Asan, Asan, and Asan. Although no one knows why Liu Yan called him "Asan", they all understand that it is a derogatory term.

Official institutions use contemptuous epithets, and whoever takes over that institution will be depressed.

Using the name "Tianzhu" is quite good, firstly it is more formal, and secondly it means that the Han people have reasonable and legal ownership over there from various aspects.

What?How long have those countries that paid tribute to the Western Han or Eastern Han perished?Do the Han people agree with this statement? ?

Didn't the Han Chinese destroy the Gupta Empire without looking for the descendants of those former vassal states to restore the state?That's what the Han people are trying to find, and we'll wait until they find it one day.

"Just to give an explanation." Huan Wen said without concealment: "It's just an explanation. Don't say you can't find it, you really found it..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck, and indicated with his eyes that Qian Jiantong should understand .

"The general understands, fully understands." Qian Jiantong knew that one of his tasks as the guardian, who dared to show that he was a descendant of a royal family, would do it if he could hide it, and had to do it once if he couldn't hide it shipwreck.What he wants to know is: "Does the Ministry of War have any requirements for the surrounding countries of the Protectorate?"

Qian Jiantong had left from the general's mansion before, and went directly to the Ministry of War to find Huan Wen.

The attitude of the general’s mansion is that there is no attitude. Xu Zhengming told Qian Jiantong plainly that Tianzhu Governor’s Mansion can do whatever he wants, provided that he can handle it. Those enemy countries must be wiped out, but Qian Jiantong can only choose to pack up and return to the mainland.

"Requirement?" Huan Wen looked at Qian Jiantong with a surprised look, seeing that Qian Jiantong felt uncomfortable for a while, and then said: "Under the premise of not conflicting with the decision of the General's Mansion, the Ministry of War has only one suggestion."

What Huan Wen said was a suggestion, not an order, nor a requirement, because the Ministry of War did not have the authority to issue orders to the troops.

Qian Jiantong made a listening gesture.

"You know, the southern part of the Han Dynasty is wantonly replacing slaves with slaves." Huan Wen said that the Nanyang monkeys received numerous bad reviews, and later the center proposed to replace them with Asan, which has entered the actual operation stage: "Not only must we maintain the transportation to the mainland, If the number can be increased, the Protectorate will also benefit."

Qianjian also attaches great importance to this.

The Ministry of War of the Han Empire was more like a logistics department of the army. They were involved in far more production-related matters than military affairs. Although Huan Wen was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was actually a warehouse manager and transportation team leader.

If he wanted to be a big mouse and keep his eyes on military supplies to enrich his own pockets, this official position would undoubtedly be a good one.

But if he has no idea about enriching his own pockets, what he desires is to lead the army to fight, so it may not be so comfortable to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

It was because the Minister of the Ministry of War did not have much military power that Huan Wen concurrently served as the Zhongcheng of the General's Mansion.

What kind of explanation will the General's Mansion give to the Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion? As long as it does not cause fatal trouble to the Ministry of War, Huan Wen's tendency is to focus on the decision of the General's Mansion.His attitude is also because the Ministry of War really has no conflicts with the General's Mansion other than the allocation of resources.

"Is there a navy under the jurisdiction of the Tianzhu Governor's Mansion?" Huan Wen was not actually asking, he said that to pave the way for the following words: "For the time being, there is no discussion on the scale of the meeting, and it is still possible to maintain the safety of the route. .”

The name is Duhufu, but if it has three standing armies, with the strength of the standing army of the Han Empire, a Duhufu with three standing armies is actually stronger than some big countries on that continent.

There are three elite standing armies, plus a navy with more advanced and powerful warships than anyone else. It is not to look down on which countries on the Asan continent, but to look down on all the countries on the current side. To the nerves of Sasan and Rome, they are fully capable of launching a war of extermination on the Asan continent.

"Route?" Qian Jiantong instantly knew what Huan Wen was talking about, and he didn't dare to make any guarantees. He said casually, "I don't know the size of the navy of the Annan Governor's Mansion."

The jurisdiction of the Annan Protectorate's Mansion is the entire peninsula, which is much longer than the coastline of the Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion. At the same time, the Annan Protectorate's Mansion has undergone a gorgeous transformation from the Pingman School Captain.

The former Pingman Colonel Department had a huge naval force.Now that the Pingman Captain's Department has expanded into the Annan Protectorate, both the army and the navy must be under the Annan Protectorate, unlike the newly established Tianzhu Protectorate, which has no basis for rearranging troops.

"It's okay to tell you." Huan Wen said with a smile: "Didn't the Nanyang Protectorate be established at the same time? The navy over there only kept a necessary part, and the rest was deployed under the Nanyang Protectorate system."

Qian Jiantong didn't know the news, and the picture of Si Hongzhuang jumping suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Understood." With obvious joy on his face, Qian Jiantong agreed: "It is the duty of the Tianzhu Protectorate to protect the interests of the big man."

Now that the size of the navy of the Annan Governor's Mansion has been reduced, the naval power of the Tianzhu Governor's Mansion will definitely be strengthened, otherwise there will be a vacancy of maritime military forces in Sanyang.

The center will not ignore Asanyang. Once the Han Empire does not pay attention to it, other forces will have the desire to spy on it, which is absolutely not allowed.

"Very good." Huan Wen also laughed and said, "It's best if you think that way."

Qian Jiantong is not stupid, he can guess that Huan Wen is reminding himself.

To be clear about one thing, the Tianzhu Protectorate will become the sphere of influence farthest from the mainland of the Han Empire. If it is in other places, it may be the same thing, but the Tianzhu Protectorate is far away from the newly discovered The African continent is not far away, especially when the Han Empire wants to go to the African continent must be one of the transit points, so it seems special.

When the Han people discovered the African continent, they knew that there were a large number of indigenous people there, so they sent out slave-hunting teams, or even formed a slave-hunting fleet.

As the protector of the Tianzhu Protectorate, Qian Jiantong provides some protection or convenience, just to sell the face and favor of those who have interests involved. Perhaps this will be the biggest gain for Qian Jiantong as the protector of the Tianzhu Protectorate ?
