What's the age now?
What are the great powers on earth?
Liu Yan knows very well that it is the century A.D. now. The great powers that can be known are sassanne except Rome. In addition, there are really no impressive great powers.
Rome has not yet split into eastern Rome and Western Rome, but in fact, it has long been the stage of regional autonomy. In about 286 ad, the then Roman Augustus Diocletian divided Rome into two parts. Later, he divided the political power into two and established the system of joint rule of the four emperors. From then on, Rome began to have the concept of East and West.
In fact, no matter how the state system of Rome changes, such as the republican system, the parliamentary system and the Augustus system... One thing has not changed is that Rome has always been a state of aristocratic family governance, and each family has its own private territory and private army. Therefore, in fact, Rome has been in divisional autonomy for a long time, but each family abides by and obeys Rome's orders.
If you count, the Roman system is actually the same as the Zhou royal family. The difference is that the "co owners" of the Romans have not changed.
The "Communists" of the Romans can be elected or obtained by violence, but no matter who becomes the "Communists", they can not provoke all nobles and can only maintain the status quo of local autonomy. The rules formed over a long time are fixed in the passage of time, because the "Communist Lord" has no supreme power over the princes. In fact, as long as the "Communist Lord" does not provoke the princes, the princes are too lazy to care who will be the "Communist Lord".
It must be noted that the country name of Rome has always existed, but the "co owners" of Rome have never been continued by a family looking at the blood line. They will also change the ruling family. Then there will be the replacement of the "Dynasty", but they have not changed the country name of Rome. So, Rome is a millennium Empire, not a millennium Dynasty.
Liu Yan vaguely remembers something. Rome at this stage is the time when the rulers change frequently.
Almost at the time of the collapse of the Eastern Han Empire, Rome was actually in turmoil. At that time, the Roman ruler Alexander Seviru continued to expand his army, and also continued to improve the status and pay of soldiers in order to end the Sabbath Empire (Parthia).
Rome was indeed in Alexandria During the reign of severu, the century old enemy of the Sabbath empire was beaten down. The fall of the Sabbath empire made Rome... At least the Roman army robbed a basin full of money, but the Romans could not occupy the land after killing the Sabbath empire. After killing the Sabbath Empire, they robbed and withdrew their troops when they had enough.
For Rome, the Sabbath Empire, which had fought each other for more than a hundred years, was gone, Alexander Severus also became a great Augustus, but the real problem arose with the fall of the Sabbath empire.
Alexander. Seviru ruled Rome for 13 years. Before his death, he tried to suppress the military he trained, but the Roman system did not mean that the ruler could suppress anyone who wanted to do it. Until his death, the military could not be suppressed, which gave Rome an incentive to fall into turmoil.
Alexander. After Severus died, Augustus, who was to be re appointed, had nothing to do with the army, and he could not give enough wealth to continue feeding the military. As a result, the military began to riot, and there was a period of 33 years of officer rule. In a short period of 33 years, the rulers of Rome changed 11 crops, and the officer rebellion was ended by the king of Illyria, But the rule of the Illyrian Dynasty lasted for 16 years, and Rome did not end the chaos and turmoil during the rule of the Illyrian Dynasty.
Almost the Central Plains region entered the period of the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms. After a long period of chaos and turbulence, Rome evolved into a political situation of the joint rule of the four emperors. Dekri was forced first and was helpless. He also engaged in two separate governance patterns of Eastern Rome and Western Rome, which can be regarded as causing the formal division of Rome.
So it's strange that the two dynasties so far apart went to the end at the same time and split at the same time, waiting for the Sima family to officially usurp the throne and build the country and collapse to the Western Jin Dynasty. The ruling dynasty in Rome is also due to the Germanic, Gothic and some ethnic groups with mixed components... Anyway, it is collectively referred to as barbarians by the Romans, It was the constant invasion of barbarians that led to the change of the ruling family of Rome.
[who is the Roman emperor now?] Liu Yan is now on the West Bank of Qiushui. He looks ahead, because there is no urgent matter. He can still recall: [whoever it is, Rome will soon face the adjustment of the 'whip of God'.]
The so-called "whip of God" is of course the Huns who were defeated by the Han Empire and fled far away. In fact, these Xiongnu people did not go directly to the west after fleeing. They first entrenched in the western regions and then recovered their strength. Only then did they have Chen Tang's deeds of "holding the banner of the Marquis and cutting the head of the Zhizhi branch", and let the saying "the Ming Dynasty will kill the strong Han even if it is far away" appear.
After the war with the Han Empire, the Western Xiongnu fled to the West in a panic. They first stayed at the boundary to the north of the kusana Empire and the Sabbath Empire, once accepted the employment of the Sabbath Empire and participated in the war against the Romans. They also continued to recruit each other with the kusana Empire established by the Dayue people among their neighbors for more than 100 years.
The Western Xiongnu stayed in the Caspian Sea area for a long time. During the collapse of the Sabbath Empire, they also fished in troubled waters. However, the Sabbath empire was over at that time, and the Romans did not care about the Western Xiongnu, but let the Western Xiongnu have a pleasant period.
The West Xiongnu moved westward again during the outbreak of the war between the Kushan Empire and the Eastern Han Empire. At that time, the Kushan Empire did not know which tendon was out. First, it constantly invaded the western regions under the rule of the Eastern Han Empire, and then sent people to the western region capital guard of the Eastern Han Empire to ask for a princess of the Han Empire.
It may be because of the translation error of Er Ba Dao. Ban Chao, the protector of the western regions, was very unhappy with the continuous invasion of the territory. As soon as he heard the request of the Kushan Empire to marry the long princess, he immediately blew his hair and asked for more troops at home. Without consent, he recruited troops from various countries in the western regions. He really defeated the nobles in the north of Kushan with a gang of mobs, It can be said that not only did the kusana Empire get hoodwinked at once, but also the West Huns who had been cultivating and recuperating near the Caspian Sea were scared to death. Once again, the West Huns only heard the movements of the Han Army and ran away directly.
The West Huns were scared away by the movements of the Han Empire. First of all, the Alans and Yancai people were unlucky. The two nations that were basically still in the primitive period had been invaded and robbed by the West Huns before, and then were destroyed by the West Huns who were extremely cruel in a state of fear because they had to pass by.
The West Huns, who wanted to be far away from the Han Empire, destroyed and annexed many tribes in the process of moving westward. In addition to the Arameans and Yacai people, they later solved the miaots and abbasgs, and even teased the korkis and Iberian countries until they ran into the huge tribal alliance of salmat.
Salmat is a nation, They are also called Cypriots (actually the East Iranians) have long been the overlord of southern Russia and the eastern Balkans. They existed as early as the third century BC. The first rise period was the elimination of the Scythians. When the West Huns collided, the salmat people were actually fighting with the dakia state established by the dakia people, and on the other side, they were competing with the Goths for territory near the Black Sea.
It was the most appropriate time for the Western Huns to approach the territory of the salmat people. At the beginning, they did not encounter fierce resistance at all. After all, the salmat people were opening films with the skites and Goths at that time. The West Huns encountered a strong counterattack from the salmat after the salmat settled the skites.
At that time, many strange things happened. I don't know what the Goths promised the Finns. Anyway, the Finns stood on the side of the Goths and joined the war against the salmat, together with some Slavs. The Gothic and Finnish allied forces attacked the salmat people from the north. The Western Huns did not know that the salmat people were still fighting with the Gothic and Finnish allied forces in addition to themselves, and even were constantly picked up by the Slavs.
Of course, there is no Slavs now. They are actually some primitive tribes living in the region known as UGR and Samoyed at that time.
The salmat people have been defeated under the pressure of two fists and four hands. The Xiongnu people have always met the Goths and Finns without any contact. As a result, the salmat people have stood aside, and the same land has become the battlefield between the Western Xiongnu people, the Goths and Finns.
In the middle of the fight, the Finns said they would not play. They rolled up their bedding and captured in the war and happily returned to their hometown, leaving the Goths who felt they were very powerful to face the West Huns alone because they defeated the salmat people.
The confrontation between the Goths and the West Huns lasted for a long time, from the second century to the fourth century, and until the period of Attila's father monduk.
By this time, the West Huns had actually grown stronger. They should be serious. They would never be much weaker than the Madden period. It is because time has really passed for too long, and they do not have their own words to record history. Only something like ballads has been passed down to let them know that their ancestors originally lived on a grassland in the East, He fled West because he was defeated.
Because time has really passed for too long, and no one knows whether those songs are true. This group of Huns who integrate multiple nationalities have no idea of looking back to the East, or even the idea of continuing to expand to the West. Some are just living a good life.
[why did the Huns invade Rome?] Liu Yan is not very clear: [anyway, they invaded, and they all hit France and Italy.]
Why does Liu Yan think that Han can become the "island owner" of the world island? It is because there are those Huns who fled from the east to the West. Since the Huns can kill all the way to France, there is no reason why the Han army can't do it!
[the collision between the Hun Empire and the Roman Empire...] Liu Yan couldn't help laughing: [isn't it because of this that the Western Rome was destroyed, leaving only the eastern Rome? If the Han army were killed, there would be no country left anyway.]
The Huns arrived in Europe and Rome after hundreds of years and took the land route.
Liu Yan not only has the road of the mainland, so many fleets can't be wasted, but he just needs to do a lot of things. For example, he needs to find out whether the canal dug in ancient Egypt (the ancient Suez Canal) still exists. If it doesn't exist, he must first support the Sassanian Dynasty.
[HMM!] Liu Yan nodded to himself: [in short, first remove the surrounding threats and make a good internal construction.]
In fact, the state of Han has officially launched the war of annihilation against Murong Yan. In the early stage, it was to clean up the enemy on the West Bank of Qiushui. In only six days, it wiped out the enemy on the West Bank of Qiushui or forced them to flee to the East Bank of Qiushui.
At this moment, a large number of Han troops are gathered on the Bank of Qiushui, and there are dense ships on the river section. Some ships are constantly shooting arrows at Murong Yan army on the East Bank of Qiushui, and some ships are cooperating with the army to build channels that can cross the river.
Liu Yan's presence on the battlefield does not mean that he needs to direct himself. In addition to showing up to boost morale, he is to see how Murong Yan's army will respond.
Not only did Youzhou launch an offensive, but the East shogunate sequence stationed in Koguryo has also launched an invasion. In the following period, the forbidden guards will also invade from the grassland direction. Murong Yanguo needs to deal with the attacks from three directions.
According to scouts and spies... And some people who think Murong Yan can't hold on and secretly take refuge in the Han state, a series of intelligence is gathered. The Han state may not be able to grasp the distribution of Murong Yan's troops, but it can still make a basic judgment.
The layout adopted by Murong Yanguo is obvious.
The most powerful troops were deployed in the West battlefield (where Liu Yan personally marched). Murong Ke served as the commander. Liu Xiang, as a long history, had a total force of about 170000, with Qiushui as the first line of defense, followed by Wuzhong, junmi, Xuwu and other cities. The most important thing is to make the Branch City, and build passes and fortresses according to the dangers of mountains and rivers along the way.
On the eastern battlefield (location of LV Tai's headquarters), Murong Jun led 120000 troops to fight in person, but he had given up the territory except haoxuantu County, Liaodong County, and had not built any defense chain. He took Shoushan as the army camp. Judging from the trend, Murong Jun was not going to fight any defense war. Should it be a field battle with the coalition army dominated by Han Army in the plain of daliangshui area?
In addition to the heavy troops stationed in the East and West, the direction near the grassland in the northwest was handed over to Tuoba shiyijian.
The area where Tuoba shiyijian is stationed is in Wuhou Qinshui (near modern Chifeng City). Murong Jun did not give any additional military strength. What stayed in this area is the residual troops of Tuoba Dai state. It can be seen that Murong Yan state is prepared for possible invasion in the direction of grassland, but it does not pay much attention... Or it can't transfer troops to pay attention to it.
