Although the number of unsystematic Han warships in a San Yang has increased again and again, there have never been more than 400. Such an unsystematic warship is already the limit of the Han state. It is not that it is unable to build more warships, but that the navy has not enough troops. Even if it is recruited again, it will take time for training.
"We will have more warships." Huan Wen said that a large number of system docks have been built, and warships have begun to launch: "in terms of quantity, we will not be less than ah San, or even several times more than them!"
Li Mai's status is not as high as Huan Wen's. He doesn't know some secrets that are not secrets. After listening to them, he is relieved, but he has to ask: "general, when can the reinforcements arrive?"
Huan Wen won't say that reinforcements don't have to arrive at all. There is already a fleet of more than 500 warships in the rear (Tuwa), and more and more will come.
"For the time being, I'll spend it with them first." Huan Wen is still aware of his side's disadvantages: "we need more experience in maritime operations."
Li Mai has got the answer he wants, and he extremely agrees with Huan Wen's accumulated maritime combat experience.
After the Gupta Dynasty also formed a formation to deal with the attack of the Han Army, Li Mai clearly reported to Huan Wen that his own side is indeed inferior to the Gupta Navy in terms of experience in naval warfare. It is entirely because his own warships are better than Gupta warships.
It must be said that the Han state actually had only one serious sea war, and its opponent was the Gupta Dynasty. Before that, the Han country had no rivals at sea, and its expansion in the Pacific Ocean could basically be regarded as enclosure rather than conquest.
Before Liu Yan established the state of Han, none of the previous dynasties had experience in sea warfare. They fought inland water warfare. The experience of the inland water war, to put it bluntly, is two levels of water war with the sea. The water flow above the sea is not one-way, and the battle site is far beyond the Hanoi water system.
The reason why the Han navy has repeatedly avoided another big naval battle with the Gupta Dynasty is that the number of warships stationed at the pingman captain department is far less than that of the Gupta Navy. On the other hand, it is also a naval battle at the level of battle that the Han country can't play now.
"We have been accumulating experience in naval warfare with assault warfare, and we are also training more qualified and even excellent seafarers." Li Mai said the reason why the Han state did not want to fight an economic war but maintained the attack war: "recently, a San formed a large formation to deal with it. The attack formation of our three warships as a group has been difficult to play a role, and even has been surrounded and annihilated."
In the final analysis, no one is stupid. It is difficult to make mistakes at the national level when they know they are wrong and continue to make mistakes again and again. It must be revised according to the situation. When the Gupta Dynasty found that the Han state repeatedly avoided the great sea war, it must find that the Han state had insufficient warships, or that the Han state had no confidence in winning the great sea war.
After the Gupta Dynasty found that the Han state did not want to fight a big naval battle, their internal voice was to concentrate a large number of ships on it. It should be that they blocked the warships of the Han state along the coast. The reason why this opinion was not agreed was that even if it was pressed to block the warships of the Han state along the coast, the Gupta Dynasty could not land until it was ready. It would be better to release the warships of the Han state to seek opportunities to destroy them.
Yes, the Gupta Dynasty will not give up because of the failure of a landing operation. They know and understand that they will not occupy or destroy the Han Army base entrenched along the coast of PYU. Even victory at sea is not a success.
On the other hand, isn't the Gupta Dynasty not blocked on the coast? They know much more about a Sanyang than the Han people. Some ships have bypassed to Malacca and found that the Han state is wantonly operating Malacca. This discovery shocked the Gupta Dynasty. If the skull is not broken, it is clear that this war is no longer a small fight and should be prepared for a long-term battle.
"Inevitable." Huan Wen said that the Gupta Dynasty found that the Han state was operating Malacca: "the news from detailed work has repeatedly shown that ah San has been mobilizing the south of his country."
The state of Han and the Gupta Dynasty entered a state of war, but the two sides established a communication channel. The reason is that a large number of A3 nobles were captured in the state of Han, and there are also soldiers captured in the state of Han. Both sides want to redeem their captured people, so there must be a communication channel.
Speaking of prisoners of war, Huan Wen did not treat the captured A-San nobles too harshly. He gave relative preferential treatment to the captured A-San nobles, but he would not be completely used to the A-San nobles. For example, he had exaggerated requirements for residence and needed beautiful women to serve. However, he learned that the captured soldiers on his side were given exaggerated preferential treatment as long as they had titles, and even a shangzao lived in a San's palace. He felt that it was difficult to understand when he was tongue tied.
For Zhuxia civilization, being captured itself is an unacceptable thing. Being captured for whatever reason is a disgrace. Even if you are released after being captured, you will not be able to lift your head all your life. A considerable number of civilizations do not think it is wrong to surrender after trying their best. They can still be regarded as heroes when they go back alive after being captured.
A San had a lot of exchanges with many civilizations in Europe and was influenced by many European and Roman civilizations, such as the fact that nobles can pay ransom after being captured. The reason why they arranged the nobles on the side of the Han state in the palace was that they did not want to fight the Han state at the beginning and wanted to rely on the captured nobles of the Han state to seek peace channels. After really determined to fight, although ah San still guaranteed the treatment of the nobles of the Han country, he really didn't want to ask for more.
"They really set up a defense line along the coast." Yuan Qiao has done information sorting and said, "except for ketak, some areas are garrisoned with heavy troops and fortifications are built at the same time. It is known that the number of troops has reached 200000."
At the present stage, many expeditionary generals, including Huan Wen, have no knowledge of the Gupta Dynasty. During the war, they found that the Gupta Navy is indeed rich in combat experience. They also know that the Gupta Dynasty is the overlord of the region, and they have no doubt that the Gupta Dynasty can arm millions of people.
"Their Dalits have the same status as livestock." Yuan Qiao meant that the Gupta high level did not treat the domestic Dalits as human beings: "a San's Dalits did not undergo any military training, but they were armed in large numbers."
There is no joke. Ah San's Dalits are really not regarded as adults. Their social structure determines that only a few Dalits can own their own land, and the vast majority of Dalits do not own their own land.
For the time being, the state of Han did not know how a San's Dalits should obtain living materials since they did not have their own land, but it was enough to know that a San's Dalits were not regarded as people, which meant that the Gupta Dynasty really didn't care how many Dalits died. They had to face endless armed Dalits.
"The elite of a San is the sardili Legion." Yuan Qiao has more or less studied a San's caste system and has figured out what's going on: "the so-called sardili is a warrior, equivalent to our professional warriors in the ancient pre-Qin era."
There is nothing wrong with that. In the ancient pre-Qin period of Zhuxia, there was a class, a warrior who did not work all his life and only trained his killing skills. They themselves or their ancestors established meritorious deeds and obtained land rewards. They will have varying numbers of slaves as labor force. They usually train again and again. When they are called, they bring their own weapons to join the national army, which is not only to complete military service, but also to establish new meritorious deeds and continue the prosperity of the family.
Other people do not know what happened to professional warriors in ancient and Pre-Qin times because they are limited by knowledge, but people from large families such as Huan Wen and Li Mai do. They are actually worried when they know that there is such a class in the Gupta Dynasty.
He began to train martial arts skills since childhood. He didn't work all his life, but only practiced killing skills. If he had enough resources, he would also learn the knowledge of "ten thousand enemies". People who knew what was going on would definitely be afraid of this class.
In other words, Zhuxia civilization disappeared the warrior class by recruiting civilians to the battlefield, but the emergence of the so-called Jiangmen family means that this class has never really disappeared, but just moved towards a higher-end route.
The warrior class has become a general system in the Zhuxia civilization. In fact, the Persian civilization has also evolved into a general system similar to the Zhuxia civilization. The warrior class of many other civilizations has always existed and continued, such as the chadili of the A3 civilization, the citizens of Rome, and the warrior class of the Japanese.
According to Huan Wen's knowledge, the number of chadilis in the Gupta Dynasty is very large. The last time the Gupta Dynasty sent 40000 troops, there were thousands of chadilis. He has seen the performance of Gupta's chadili on the battlefield. He has seen with his own eyes that those chadili are at least good at killing people, but he has not seen any achievements in commanding operations for the time being.
"Except for the royal family, each of their castes has its own status and rights." Yuan Qiao explained the four levels in the caste system and said firmly: "each level has its own obligations and responsibilities in addition to status and rights."
The first level Brahmans are mainly monks and nobles. They have the privilege of interpreting religious classics and offering sacrifices to gods and the right to enjoy dedication. They are the main educator and the audience of chadili. They are responsible for monopolizing cultural education, reporting agricultural seasons and the interpretation of religious discourse.
The second level is the military nobility and administrative nobility. They are the audience of Brahman thought. They have the privilege of collecting all kinds of taxes. They are in charge of the political army and are responsible for guarding the Brahman class from generation to generation.
The third class is an ordinary Aryan. It has no political privilege. It must support the first two classes in the form of giving and paying taxes. It is the main business.
The vast majority of the fourth level sudara are conquered aborigines, belonging to non Aryans, composed of senior servants and craftsmen serving meals and cooking. It is the most populous caste. A profession considered inferior. In the caste system, the offspring of parents from different castes are called hybrid castes.
A group of generals sounds like they are "tall, big and superior". A group specializes in learning those all their life. As long as they are not as stupid as pigs, they must succeed.
Today's Zhuxia civilization does not have the system of "scholar, agriculture, industry and commerce". After listening to Yuan Qiao, many people think a San's system is very advanced.
Even Huan Wen came to many conclusions after understanding a San's caste system. For example, a San under the caste system, the country must be very stable. He believes that if every class can shoulder the responsibility of its own class, it is difficult for the country not to be strong.
In fact, it's no joke to say that if a San's caste system is not "crooked", every class is committed to their own responsibilities and obligations, and the rulers who lead the country are majestic. A San's caste system really has considerable advantages (not on the contrary), that is, the system is very beautiful, but the people who implement the system are not so good.
There is no absolutely perfect system in the world. The system is established and implemented by people. The same system will have different results when used by different people.
In fact, there was no caste system similar to a San in Zhuxia civilization. That was the case with the emergence of taxis, farmers, workers and businessmen. Even craftsmen and businessmen were restricted from changing jobs. The "scholars" with the least number and the most power controlled everything, but gave the most "farmers" room to make progress, proving that the people who created this system were at least rational, Know that we should draw a cake to give to the "farmers", the class with the largest number.
"If ah San allows room for improvement, it is almost a powerful country system." Huan Wen pointed out the fatal defects of the caste system. He said, "now I know why ah San's country is stable. In addition to castes, he is a religion."
The reason why they are talking about this is not that they are already discussing the details after landing. They always have to figure out the object of collection first, but they can't bump into it without knowing anything.
"Zhi has tried to plot..." Yuan Qiao paused with a bitter smile: "almost no effect."
At least until the palace secret history of "my Qing Dynasty", the history of Zhuxia was actually a history of war. It was not strange to use tricks. On the contrary, it had too many means.
Yuan Qiao was responsible for buying off the nobles who plotted against the Gupta Dynasty, but as he said, I don't know whether it was the wrong method or what. It really didn't work.
"Huh?" Huan Wen was a little hard to believe: "how could this happen?"
If yuan Qiao knew the reason, he wouldn't have no effect. He continued to smile bitterly and didn't know what to say.
The Han state rebelled against the captured Gupta nobles by nothing more than coercion and inducement. The executable yuan Qiao really didn't understand one key. Of course, the nobles of a San were not loyal to the king and patriotic. It was that the Han Army didn't really invade Gupta. According to a San's thinking, any promise that they didn't reach their native land was false.
In fact, it's not very difficult for a San to serve himself. He attacked their homeland and occupied it, showing that he is absolutely capable of turning over their strength. At this stage, he doesn't have to promise any benefits. As long as he is willing to continue to implement the caste system, abide by a San's customs to a certain extent, and retain the original privileges of each class, Just wait for ah San to compete first. I'm afraid he'll be willing to serve later.
