Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

In Liu Bei's view, there is nothing wrong with Rome's behavior. After all, when the rest of the year, the Han Dynasty did not do little to add obstacles there. There are only so many countries in the world. Rome wants money, and the Han Dynasty wants land.

Besides, let alone sell some military supplies to Guishuang, Rome sent people to Guishuang, and the Han Dynasty had nothing to say. After all, the empire has been in such a tune since ancient times. What can you do with others, beat them? Are you kidding me, if I could fight, I would have started fighting. It's not that I can't fight, and I still have to do the business that needs to be done.

"Isn't Rome's center of gravity currently on the Atlantic side?" Liu Bei remembered something clearly, so he asked a few words casually.

The Han Dynasty knew that Rome invested a lot of capital in the Atlantic Ocean. There was no way. The reed stalks were eaten, and the livers of the Romans were broken.

This problem also existed in Africa, so the Romans went by sea to find a place where sugar cane could be grown. However, the environment on the Atlantic side is relatively harsh. It is not clear whether the Romans have traveled to South America recently.

Here I have to say that because the earth is a ball, the North African region of Rome itself is actually about 1,000 kilometers away from Brazil than the Caribbean Sea. This is also the reason why European navigators first went to South America in the early days. On the one hand It is smooth and smooth, and on the one hand, it is also close.

However, the shipbuilding technology of the Romans is almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty ten years ago. The shipbuilding technology of the Han Dynasty came from 700 years ago, while Rome came from almost 500 years ago.

At any rate, the Han Dynasty was developed by Chen Xi. In terms of technology that is relatively easy to replicate, its potential quickly exploded, but Rome is a headache. A ship that can run in the Mediterranean does not mean that it can run in the Atlantic, so the Romans need New sailing techniques and new warships.

The Han Dynasty didn't care about this, because the distance between the Han Dynasty and Rome was really a bit painful, and the relationship between the two parties was considered harmonious, so the Han Dynasty gave Rome a foundation of shipbuilding technology. Due to the breakthrough of the Han Dynasty, Rome finally copied the turbine and keel, and the rest finally decided to copy Guishuang.

After all, there are still some differences between the technology of the Han Dynasty and the technology of Guishuang. The Han Dynasty is obviously a little confused, but the details of Guishuang are very complete. If the Romans want to upgrade, they will naturally find a good one to copy. Based on Mahinda's proposal to Celian, the Romans directly sent an observation team to Guishuang's battleship to learn and absorb Guishuang's technology and knowledge.

To put it simply, the Han Dynasty and Guishuang fight to the death and advance with difficulty, while Rome picks up ready-made ones for nothing.

But there is nothing to say about this matter. It has always been the case in imperial wars. Rome is strong enough, so he is entitled to take advantage of it for nothing.

"Probably still struggling in the Atlantic Ocean. I heard that the ship capsized several times, so I don't know what's going on, but I guess it's not a big problem." Chen Xi replied after thinking for a while.

When the feudal empire was at its peak, its executive power and national power would not be inferior to the garbage industrial countries. Therefore, although the Atlantic Ocean is wide, if Rome insists on going there, to be honest, Rome can find a way to go there without Guishuang's technology, so this is a matter of time.

"Speaking of which, after Guishuang, do we need to adjust our diplomacy with Rome?" Zhao Yun asked solemnly after eating the meat off the bones.

"No, when the time comes, the Han family will definitely pass away. If we rely on the closure of the country, we will have the most blood transfusions, even if it is the strongest Yuan family." Chen Xi waved his hand and said without hesitation.

Yuan Tan's current performance is indeed very astonishing, but it is useless. Yuan Tan has too few chess pieces that can serve as the backbone. The middle and lower levels are indeed not lacking in combat power, but the lack of upper levels has caused Yuan's overall combat power to appear. Big question.

If Yuan Tan has a string of luxurious civil servants and military generals like Yuan Shao's in the middle period, even if he can't beat Rome, with Yuan Tan's current will and belief, it is basically impossible for Rome to kill Yuan.

It's a pity that this is impossible. The battle between Yuan and Liu happened at that point. If Chen Xi doesn't kill a group of Yuan family's main force, then the battle of Dingding in the north might take five or six years to end. By then, the essence of the whole north will be The district will be blown up, and by then there will be no way to recover.

What's more, the battle of Dingding in the north lasted five or six years, and it would take more time to fight Cao Sun. By that time, not so many people died, and it was impossible to suppress the general trend of the world and let them follow Chen Xi's plan went out.

Chen Xi believed in a saying, the best way to predict the future is to create the future by yourself.

After all, if you don’t create by yourself, but only rely on prediction, there will inevitably be accidents, so even if Chen Xi is ready to go out early in the morning, he still has a rough idea of ​​the future direction, but after facing an uncertain direction, he chooses decisively. To create the future by ourselves.

After all, it is better to rely on those intelligence to collect and judge than to rely on one's own wrist to create. At least when the latter is done, one has to be mentally prepared for what will happen and how to fill in the gaps.

"In this case, in the short term, there should be no major changes in our diplomacy with Rome. After all, the Yuan family and Rome are now tossing around, and there is no reaction from Rome." Zhao Yun shook his head again and again. Always felt outrageous.

"It's not that Rome didn't respond, but to Rome, these losses are nothing at all." Chen Xi shook his head and said, in Rome's system, citizens are the backbone, non-citizens, barbarians, and slaves are only for citizens exist.

There are six million citizens, barbarians and slaves are six or seven times as many as citizens. On average, from the perspective of the country, for each citizen, each citizen has six or seven employees.

Not to mention the semi-slave and semi-feudal society, these people can be used to death. Take the present as an example, for an ordinary person, there are six or seven people who follow your blind orders, move bricks when they are asked to move bricks, and fight when they are asked to fight Employees don't have to die like in feudal society. Everyone contributes half of your income every month, and you live well.

This is why citizens can raise their own weapons and equipment, and they can also raise their own war horses. This is also the reason why under the Roman citizenship system, even if all citizens were taxed, they just scolded the emperor for being crazy, but they strongly supported the citizenship system. Taxes can be passed on to others.

This is also the reason why Caracalla issued an order to grant citizenship to everyone, not only the original citizens, but also the barbarians and slaves.

Because the citizens that the barbarians and slaves want are those who are only a citizen title on the surface, but actually exploit more than 85% of the people in the entire country and provide for the remaining less than one-tenth of the people. perfect benefits.

This is also the reason why the Roman emperor found that his ruling class was shaky after having a reference, because this method is too unstable. Of course, if the ascending channel is clear, like Severus, in this method, barbarians and slaves They are also very motivated.

Who wouldn't want to live a life like this? But the problem is that the number of citizens that Rome can support is limited, unless some people's citizenship status is eliminated to allow the system to flow.

But if it is moved, it means that the civic system is disturbed, and if the civil system is disturbed, it is basically finished. This is the Achilles heel of Rome, and what Rome is currently playing in Eastern Europe is to thin out the elite among the barbarians, and to spare The location of some citizens.

Yes, the position of citizens is also being vacated, although not much, but it is true.

This is also the reason why the war in Eastern Europe cannot be ended, because Rome has already realized the fact that it seems that their system can continue as long as they fight.

"Actually, I have a question that I wanted to ask before." After listening to Chen Xi's narration, Gan Ning didn't care too much, his mind was actually mainly on Guishuang.

"What's the problem?" Chen Xi picked up a piece of meat, then turned his head to ask.

"There are so many barbarians in Guishuang in Rome, will they really return to Rome?" Gan Ning has a good vision, enough strategic thinking and adventurous spirit, and he can win when he has an idea, and when he is thinking about it Draw a lot of strange conclusions, but in essence this guy is still a erha, although he belongs to the king of Kazakhstan!

"What are you worried about?" Zhang Fei looked at Gan Ning in confusion and asked.

"What about Guishuang's mother moving the capital?" Gan Ning looked at Zhang Fei and asked.

"Didn't they just move the capital?" Zhang Fei hadn't reacted yet.

"You wouldn't say that Guishuang moved directly to Africa, right?" Chen Xi pressed his temple and asked. He really hadn't considered this kind of problem. Later generations built cities in the territories of Indonesia and Malay, and they could even go to Rome.

"Why is it impossible?" Gan Ning looked at Chen Xi and asked, "When I approached Australia to hunt down Meng Kangbu, I was thinking about a question, those Guishuang people, have they been to Africa? They are at the beginning of the **** and are the weakest, but if they escape by boat..."

Chen Xi pressed his temples, this is really troublesome, if you think about it this way, the Wu family can go to Africa, maybe there is Zhu Helai and those guys to release the water, if you think about it again, the wise men in Guishuang It seems that the grand strategy is not bad.

With the shipping capacity of Guishuang, well, let’s not go to Guishuang. With India’s shipping capacity, it is not too difficult to transport millions of people to Africa. Don’t look at the fact that the Han Dynasty is very smooth to fight Guishuang, Guishuang If you go to the middle of the African continent and wait for twenty years to come out, it will really be fatal.

As for African beasts, unless those things become fine, they will definitely not be able to compete with Guishuang. Guishuang is also an empire after all. (xinshuhaige.com)
