Ran min was supposed to rush back to his native land, but the imperial edict from the center came first.
Rome and Sassanian organized the anti Han axis. Among the many younger brothers, there were vargatoga and satrapu, two countries with large territory on the A3 continent.
Before the Han Empire sent troops to the A3 continent, the Gupta empire was in a state of war with vargathaga and two satraps. The three sides fought several times in the past ten years, and the usual border conflicts never stopped.
In terms of territory, vagadoga and satrapu are not much smaller than the Gupta Empire, but their scientific and technological strength and economic strength are about two-thirds of that of the Gupta empire.
Vargatoga is a country with an army of 300000 in peacetime. Let's not talk about the equipment and elite level of the army, but anyone who can maintain the scale of 300000 in non wartime can be regarded as a regional small power in the current years.
At one time, vagadoga's army expanded to 600000, but their 600000 troops were firmly resisted at the border by more than 100000 troops of the Gupta Empire, with heavy losses and almost no advance.
The territory of the two satraps is smaller than that of vargathaga, and the population is also smaller than that of vargathaga. This is a phenomenon caused by the different regions of the two countries. It is like that the Gupta Empire controls the Ganges River Basin and the Indus River Basin. The geographical environment of vagadoga is much better than that of the two satraps.
The size of the army of the two satraps in non wartime has not been reduced to 200000. Their main military pressure is not from the Gupta Empire, but from the Persian Sassan in the north.
On the contrary, the two satraps were always able to take advantage of the Gupta empire with far less troops than the Gupta empire.
The two satraps not only won more and lost less in the war against the Gupta Empire, but also fought back and forth against the Persian sassanne.
"So, are we going to fight vargatoga or two satraps first?"
"According to the truth, it is right to pinch persimmons soft. But once something is done, another country will not watch."
"Then hit the stronger one first!"
"In fact, the best way to deal with it is to fight together."
Ran min stood on the edge of the mountain map, looked at the terrain display and city landmarks, and listened to the discussion of the praise paintings in his ears.
They came to mainland a'san to inspect their fiefs. I didn't have time to visit the fiefdom. I just visited the scenery from ketak to Fahrenheit City, and then the news of the outbreak of the war came.
There are six marques in the group. Among them, ran min, Fu Shou and Zhang Shi are the highest. In terms of the merits of the country, ran min leads. Among the 24 high marques, 18 have won the Marquis because of their military achievements.
Under an imperial edict, a group of people formed the Tianzhu shogunate. Of course, the head of the shogunate was ran min, Fu Shou and Zhang Shi became a long history. Some high knights who had experienced dozens of wars served as high-level and middle-level officers, and the rest were reassigned to civilian personnel in the army. At this stage, the shogunate lacked a sufficient number of grass-roots officers.
"Use a standing army to attack vargatoga, and use armed assan to block two satraps first." Fu Shou touched the goat's beard on his chin and asked, "how about it?"
There are no organized firearms units on the side of the a'san continent. Both of the two standing armies came from the huantemperate zone to participate in the invasion last time. They were stationed in the a'san continent after the collapse of the Gupta empire.
Last time, Huanwen brought more than 50000 County soldiers and folk Xiaoguo, but after the collapse of the Gupta Empire, the system was dissolved. The county soldiers returned home by boat, and the folk Xiaoguo was really dissolved.
Most of the folk Xiaoguo are hired by those who have a manor in the a'san continent, and those who are not hired are left in the a'san continent to look for opportunities.
This time, ran min opened the shogunate to invite the protector of Tianzhu to post a notice to recruit Han people in the three continents to join the army. At the same time, he also recruited state knights in the three continents. Their addition has supplemented the lack of grass-roots officers, which can be regarded as complementing the functions of the shogunate.
The so-called "a thousand troops are easy to get and one general is difficult to find" means that the army must have qualified commanders, but only one qualified commander is not enough. It also needs a supporting command chain.
In view of the fact that the composition of the army was mainly composed of a San, ran min kneaded his nose and recognized that chadili would become a part of the command chain, that is, don't expect him to give chadili any important position.
In general, ran min was quite satisfied with the components of the command hub of the Tianzhu shogunate. The only thing he is not satisfied with is the source of troops. The chadili he despised originally gave him enough surprises. Chadili is not as waste as he imagined. It can even be said that a considerable part of chadili can be regarded as excellent in terms of the military quality of cold weapons.
As for Brahmans? Ran min can completely ignore this class. He did not participate in the governance of the A-San continent, and the Brahman would not be his trouble. If he wanted to supplement food, grass or other materials, the Tianzhu protectorate would communicate with the Brahman.
In just three months, the 300000 troops that ran min needed had been sent. At the beginning, he didn't expect too much about the quality of the source of troops. After personally inspecting the camp, he was not disappointed because he didn't expect.
"In addition to the chadili legion, there are those teams composed of Dalits..." ran min looked at Fu Shou: "it's too numb and too loose."
"This is the unique social situation of ah San." Fu Shou wanted to tell ran Min that if it were not for this, it would not be easy for the Han Empire to destroy the Gupta Empire: "ah san under the Han Dynasty was divided into Untouchables by themselves, with a number of about 7 million. They didn't have to pay any price to recruit them, and even received a lot of income."
This is also a San's unique feelings. When the Dalits are recruited, they not only need to bring their own weapons, but also need to pay taxes. However, don't expect them to have any sophisticated equipment. If they don't accept the recruitment with empty hands, they should laugh.
"The three Dalits we recruited this time are 130000, 160000 from sudara, and the rest are the sardili Legion." Fu Shou is a long history in charge of the division and establishment of shogunate forces. He is more familiar with the distribution of conscription sources: "in the caste system of a San, the number of Sudras is the largest. They were surprised when we conscripted Sudras."
According to a San's own classification, sudara actually belongs to the hybrid class. Most of them are conquered aborigines, composed of senior servants and craftsmen serving meals and cooking. In the caste system, the offspring of parents from different castes are called hybrid castes.
This large-scale recruitment of sudara really broke the tradition of ah San. In the past, it was not that shoudatura class would not be recruited, but only a small part, mainly the group of shoudatura belonging to meat shield.
When Qian Jiantong issued the recruitment order, the Brahmin class was the first to oppose it. Their reason for opposition was that there were too many recruits.
Even if the Han Empire is being besieged by the whole world, there will be no weakness at all. Qian Jiantong's answer to the Brahman is very direct. As the most noble class in the A-San continent, it is a very kind behavior for the Han people to retain the A-San system. It is the power of the most noble class to change some rules. Don't beep blindly.
A large number of Sudras will be recruited because the Dalits are too poor. On the premise that it is impossible for the Indian shogunate to distribute weapons to them, the vast majority of Dalits will only set foot on the battlefield with wooden sticks.
Although sudara is a low caste, their situation will be better. At least they have money to arm themselves when they are recruited.
According to the conscription tradition of Zhuxia, it is not sudara and Untouchables that should be conscripted, but sardili and Barker.
Chadili can be regarded as a military merit aristocratic family. If Zhuxia mobilizes, the first thing to mobilize is the military merit aristocratic family.
Barker is the merchant class. In the mobilization system of Zhuxia, businessmen and redundant sons-in-law are the front recruitment groups.
According to Zhuxia's conscription system, sudara and Dalits in the A-San caste system will be the lower groups in the conscription sequence.
Zhuxia always knew which kind of groups were most useful on the battlefield. For example, they would give priority to recruiting good family children among the people. In addition to the innocence of good family children, there were enough Zi production to arm themselves, and there was enough desire to pursue military merit. Most importantly, once they become deserters or surrender, their relatives in their hometown will pay a price.
"We don't want to change them too much." Ran min laughed and said sarcastically, "let them continue to rot."
Han people are conquerors, not liberators. They have no obligation to improve ah San's system. That's why they don't destroy the caste system.
In fact, a San's caste system was very beneficial to the conquerors. Their system was originally established for the privileges of the conquerors. The conquerors parachuted down to become the new highest class. Anyone who conquered them can be an uncle immediately. It can be called a seamless structure.
"Let's go." Ran Mi turned and stepped: "take a look at how the whole training has been done."
In the past, when Dalits were called up, they would not be trained at all. They would be brought to the battlefield when they were concentrated.
The Han people are right to use ah San as cannon fodder, but the military tradition is too long. They think that even after a short training, the cannon fodder can change from consuming the enemy's cannon fodder to killing at least some of the enemy's cannon fodder.
"You can't do it without training." Ran min looked at a San who had been numbly trained, frowned deeply and said, "if you can't obey even the most basic orders, what are you going to do?"
There have been countless examples in the military history of Zhuxia, which have proved that the number of troops is never the more the better. The army should have the most basic dispatching ability, or it is simply a waste of food and giving heads to the enemy.
The most important thing is that the Tianzhu shogunate has been training ah San for nearly two months, but the results are almost nothing.
"They are too numb." Zhang Shi commented: "they obey the call and set foot on the battlefield, not to kill many enemies. It's like looking forward to a better afterlife after being killed?"
"..." ran min's expression became a little stiff for a moment. He thought of a very bad past: "once under the ravage of stone tablets, we didn't want to die."
There is still a difference. The Han people are numb, but at least they still have the idea of killing several.
Look at those ah San's eyes, and then look at their expressions and movements. They can't see anything positive in their eyes. The impatience of that face, coupled with the body movements that have been corrected repeatedly, is a group of guys waiting to die.
Ran min took the people away from the Dalit training area and came to the training area of sudara. He saw something slightly positive.
"These guys are relatively better." Zhang Shi commented again: "compared with the Dalits who go to the battlefield to die, they also know that they are afraid of death."
Sudara is also a group benefit bullied in a'san society, but they can bully Dalits worse than themselves. It is more or less a promising class.
Then there is a special attribute of the class of sudara. How much ability they can play is related to what kind of master they serve. The more they serve a powerful master, the more enthusiastic they are.
What ran min and others saw was that those Sudras worked hard to adapt under the training of Han soldiers, but their foundation was really bad. They usually need to be corrected again and again to look like something.
Sudara is taught how to serve people. It must be worn away. At the same time, it will also be trained to have a high degree of obedience.
Obedience will be a good soldier, but if the ferocity is worn away, it will lose the foundation as a soldier.
If the soldiers can't be fierce, they look soft and have no momentum, and can't overwhelm the enemy from the momentum. If they can fight down easily, the enemy will fight back fiercely without fear.
"There are words in the art of war, husband war and courage." Zhang Shi looked at the group of ah San, who were extremely obedient but could not be fierce, and sighed, "they look like this. They are weak without momentum. I'm afraid the enemy will become more fierce from now on."
In the contemporary Han foreign war, the war damage ratio is usually maintained at about five to one in the stage of recovering the Central Plains and the northern expedition to the grasslands.
The cross sea expedition was originally a very difficult thing, but the war damage ratio between the Han people and the Gupta empire could reach about 15 to 1.
Later, the Han Empire summarized the battle of Han Ji and drew many conclusions, including the sharp differences between the two armies and the differences in equipment, especially the temperament contrast between the soldiers of the two sides on the battlefield.
The Han people are naturally extremely ferocious. That's one of the keys to overwhelming any enemy in terms of momentum. It's really not that the Han people's equipment is too much better than the enemy to make such a war damage ratio.
"Vargathaga and two satraps, are they also ah San?" Ran min was not so sure and asked, "what's the difference?"
Ran min means that if it's bad, is it the same for the whole continent.
Zhang Shi and Fu Shou looked at each other for a while. They knew each other. Ah San is the unified name of the emperor for people here. In fact, people on the mainland don't think they are a nation.
