Sweep the World

"The shapes of these buildings are very similar to those of a big man!"

Ran Min was walking inside the smallpox goddess temple, and he had already seen the periphery, and was currently watching the internal structure.

They arrived at Tianzhu Duhu Mansion only thirteen days. The time before they were on the shore was spent on the journey. All the way, they just wandered around along the way. Only when they arrived at Fahrenheit City did they have the intention to understand Ah San’s culture. .

Fahrenheit City is Ah San's own name, if it is transliterated, it should be called Patna. However, compared with the strange name of Patna, the Han people still prefer the name Fahrenheit City.

According to rumors, Fahrenheit City was originally built as the capital of the Peacock Dynasty more than 500 BC. It was originally the capital of the country and later became a gathering place for the 1st religion, and slowly became the holy place for the 1st religion. .

"In Ah San's legend, a considerable number of people became saints here." Qian Jiantong was of course to entertain Ran Min and the others. It just so happened that he was not busy with official duties, so he personally served as a tour guide: "They also call this place. The capital of saints."

"Absurd!" Ran Min not only retorted, but also sneered: "Just them, are there saints?"

As long as it is a nation with a long enough history, it will actually have its own saint, which is just not acceptable to other nations.

"Who knows." Qian Jiantong won't go to Ran Min, and there is no need to: "It's true that Ah San was once brilliant."

The so-called brilliance is not fake, it is that they have once been unified, and once became a country with the largest territory in the world.

The Maurya Dynasty conquered almost all the land of the Indian continent, leaving only a small tail in the south. That is, the time from the founding of the Maurya Dynasty to its demise was shorter, only 136 years. The true reunification took less than 50 years, and then it split into nearly a hundred countries and city-states, large and small.

"The founder of the Peacock Dynasty family is also named Gupta?" Zhang Shi was one of the three marquis who came to Tianzhu Duhu Mansion this time. He asked curiously: "Does it have anything to do with the Gupta Empire that we just destroyed?"

But Qian Jiantong asked about this.

The first generation of kings who established the Maurya Dynasty was called Chandala Gupta. Because they were a family that raised peacocks, the dynasty established was also called the Maurya Dynasty.

Chandala Gupta’s historical title in Asan is called Ashoka, and if translated in Chinese, it is called Moonguard King. His rise is full of all kinds of magic, and it should be said that it is an example of heroes created by the times.

At that time, it happened that a Macedonian named Alexander unified Greece and led the army to continue the eastward march. First, he defeated the Persian Empire, and was not satisfied after capturing the entire territory of Persia, and marched east again.

Alexander invaded North India relatively smoothly from the beginning, and occupied most of North India in a very short time.

Ah San recorded Alexander's fiasco in India in history, but it is not the same thing.

According to the records of the Greeks, the group of soldiers who followed Alexander on the Eastern Expedition at that time had already made enough war fortunes, and then they were exhausted physically and mentally. Facing India, which is not only mountain forest or mountain forest, they really did not want to continue the crusade. The soldiers were reluctant to fight again, and Alexander had to retreat and return west.

Ah San did have a head-on fight with Alexander, but looking at the full fall of North India, what kind of words are used to describe how powerful Ah San is.

Chandra Gupta was able to rise because he found that the Greek rule in northern India was getting weaker and weaker. He seized the opportunity to form an army and persuade a considerable number of local nobles.

They drove away the remnants of the Greeks in Punjab, and for this they gained great fame. They then took advantage of their great achievements in defeating the Greeks and set off on a smooth path to unify India.

"Asan's record of this person is very mysterious." Qian Jiantong was only telling the truth: "It is indeed very mysterious. He relied on the record of driving away the Greeks, so that most of Asan didn't dare to fight at all. It is the use of force to unify the credibility, rather than relying on the means of intimidation to obtain the power of governance."

"So..." Ran Min had been listening quietly just now, commenting: "Most of the Asan didn't really succumb to Chandala Gupta. The seemingly unified Maurya Dynasty actually had ghosts in the central and local governments? "

"It's indeed like this." Qian Jiantong said amusedly: "If we insist on a comparison, the Maurya dynasty is probably about the same as ours in the mid-period of the Zhou royal family. It's just that the first king of the Maurya dynasty is still alive, and it keeps splitting. During the war, apart from the fact that there is no new national title in the south, it is actually in a state of division."

The words may not sound so nice, but that is the status quo of the Maurya Dynasty, and it was like that when Chandala Gupta was still alive. From here, we can also see how unstable Chandala Gupta’s rule is. Otherwise, if he is still alive, he looks like it may fall apart at any time, and there is no way it can be seen that it should be the state of a unified country.

"Asan, Yueshi and Serbian people generally have a higher evaluation of Chandala Gupta." Qian Jiantong said that there is a basis: "Although the country was unstable during the reign of Chandala Gupta, it was At that time, the world's most powerful country, an empire called Seleucid, fought and won, and once attacked Central Asia and occupied a part of Central Asia (Afghanistan)."

Ran Min knew about the empire of Seleucid. What he knew was that the empire called Seleucid was once the largest in the world on its territory, and it was once glorious.

"Looking at the buildings here, there are no traces of the Greeks left." Zhang Shi touched the carving on the wall: "This is very similar to our goddess scattered flower picture."

In fact, it was a sculpture of a goddess dancing in a flurry. It was about the background story of the goddess bewitching a goddess who was about to become enlightened.

After leaving the Temple of the Goddess of Smallpox, everyone looked down from a height and could see the Ganges in the distance.

Fahrenheit City itself is on the south bank of the Ganges. It is located on a high ground where you can view a long section of the river and you can also see the scenery on the north bank.

"What are they doing?" Ran Min pointed to the river bank: "Why are there bonfires everywhere?"

There are a lot of people on the banks of the river, some are walking boringly, some are taking a bath, and some are washing up all kinds of things.

The above are normal, but the corpse wrapped in white cloth after burning the bonfire is not so normal.

Not only were there cremations carried out on the banks of the river, there were even people who put corpses wrapped in white cloth on a raft and pushed them out to follow the crowd.

After Ran Min looked through the binoculars, his cheek twitched a few times: "This river..."

"A San calls it the holy river." Qian Jiantong never eats the Ganges water: "They think the water there is very sacred, and all evils can be taken away by the Ganges water."

"Bathing and grooming will make the water source dirty, so ignorantly referencing it is nothing." Zhang Shi was also watching with a binoculars: "People keep cremating on the shore, even putting their bodies in the river. How can they... "

If you stand at a high enough place and you can see farther with a telescope, you will really find that there are enough things floating on the river. The body of a person is because of the custom of burial in the Ganges River. The problem is that there are still a lot of things. The carcass of a cow.

"Isn't it forbidden by the Duhufu?" Ran Min didn't feel any discomfort when watching the dead: "This way... there will be no plague?"

"Before the final general took office, Huan Shangshu was forbidden, but..." Qian Jiantong didn't know what kind of expression to use, so he simply used a dumbfounded expression: "We know that it is very dirty and is extremely prone to plague. But Ah San resisted very resolutely, even more resolute than the resistance of the War of Destruction."

"..." Ran Min twitched his cheeks and cursed in a low voice, "Strange San."

"Asan attaches great importance to the afterlife." Qian Jiantong wants to be the protector of the Tianzhu Protectorate, and is unwilling to understand all aspects of Asan: "They think they are practicing cultivation or accumulating blessings for the future life. The Ganges is their holy river. They believe that this river can wash away their sins and reincarnate in good people in the next life. At the same time, they also have the legend of relying on this Ganges to reach the kingdom of God."

Ran Min was more concerned about whether he was thrown into the Ganges River where he was casually thrown into the corpse, where rotting corpses could be seen everywhere, and whether there was a plague.

"This is very strange to say." Qian Jiantong's face was inconceivable: "The temperature here in Tianzhu is generally higher, but there has not been a large-scale plague. According to Asan's literature, there has been no occurrence of the Ganges River. plague."

"Is it because that river is living water?" Zhang Shi touched his chin: "Probably there is only this explanation."

Qian Jiantong is more inclined to the environment where Ah San has become accustomed to it. In scientific terms, he has stronger antibodies than others.

It's like eating too much waste oil, and slowly the human body's cells will have the corresponding ability to adapt.

Then, if you eat too much genetically modified food, the human body will gradually adapt.

If you have not eaten waste oil and genetically modified food in your growing environment, you will definitely have a problem if you eat it. The difference is how big the problem is.

"The 1st religion completely abolished this nation." Qian Jiantong was talking about the "afterlife". He didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed: "The group called untouchables, except for their enthusiasm for the 1st religion. , Everything is resigned. We know that a nation has always been inseparable from the grassroots that can grow. Once the grassroots collapse, the nation will also cut off its future."

To put it another way, the people as the grassroots, the key is that the people have no pursuit, all they want is the afterlife, and they live in all kinds of muddles in this life.

People's desire is the source of progress. Because they have a desire for something, they will work hard to make money. They make money while creating creation.

People must also have ideals and are willing to fight for that ideal. Then in the process of struggle, a spark of wisdom will be produced and contribute to the overall progress.

"This is a nation that has solidified classes. We all know this." Ran Min did not say that Zhu Xia was in the same situation in the Three Kingdoms, Western Jin and Eastern Jin Dynasty. He affirmed Qian Jiantong's statement and said: "The grassroots is completely abolished. If the group of elites is drunk and dreamy, it would be utterly haha."

"That's it." Qian Jiantong thought of something and said amusedly: "Something happened recently."

Slave riots occurred within the Han Empire, and Han people participated in some parts.

In the newly occupied areas outside the mainland, such as the Indochina Peninsula and the islands of Southeast Asia, something happened more or less.

The Tianzhu Duhufu of Asan Continent has generally stabilized so far.

What Qian Jian also said was that a considerable number of Brahmins reported to each other, and the statements were all surprisingly consistent. It was either a Roman or a Persian brahmin who was bewitching or buying.

"The Dahan did not abolish their privileges, and even strengthened their privileges to some extent." Qian Jiantong said about the Han Empire's policy towards the Asangao caste: "Luxury items that are difficult for Daqin and Persians to obtain. , Dahan will also provide convenient channels for them to purchase."

Ran Min knew this, and knew better that it was a policy made by the emperor himself.

"Of course, it is not that every Brahmin is treated equally and will be treated differently, so that they understand that only by obeying the big man and being loyal to the emperor can they guarantee the current luxury life and even live a more moisturized life." Qian Jiantong now understands. The power of that policy: "Not only did they inform each other, they also arrested the Daqin and Persians who went to confuse and buy them."

The Brahmins on Ah San's side, they never think that they are the same ethnic group as the rest of Asan. It doesn't matter how miserable the bottom is, it is true as long as they can live well.

At the same time, on the side of Asan Continent, as long as the Brahmins do not want to chaos, they will suppress the Kshatriya, so as the largest number of untouchables, they will choose to endure it no matter how miserable they are.

"They donated quite a lot of money, and roared out the slogan'As long as there is another Asan, the big man will never succumb.'" Qian Jiantong's expression on his face was painful: "Investors ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~Willing to be a vanguard to conquer but not ministers."

Ran Min had an expression that seemed to have eaten shit.

More people find it funny and wonder what's going on with Ah San's brain circuit.

"Your Majesty, Sage!" Zhang Shi was talking about Liu Yan's policy towards Ah San: "It's just to arm Ah San..., isn't it necessary?"

Qian Jiantong has a different view. After coming to Tianzhu Protectorate, he carefully observed the Kshatriya class of Asan. He must admit that the Kshatriya, who has been transferred to armed forces for generations, is still quite qualified as a fighter, especially Their obedience to Brahmins is almost unconditional.

Then a Kshatriya group would be a hidden danger to stay. If they could be armed and sent to fight with Romans, Persians, or any enemy of the Han Empire, it would be a good practice.

"The Daqin people and the Persians..." Ran Min thought about the overall situation: "I can't bear it anymore?"

I have to say that the blood in Ran Min's whole body is about to boil. The original purpose of coming to Asan Continent was to inspect his own country, but now he can't wait to fly back to Chang'an...
