sweeping the world

Chapter 1013 Attacking Han Worldwide ([-])

Great chaos!

If the world were peaceful and there were no wars, it would be the greatest tragedy for soldiers.

Ran Min didn't think he was a hero, but as the center of the Han Empire decided not to fight any more, there was bound to be a sadness that heroes were useless.

At any rate, he is a hussar general, so he can't participate in small-scale wars, even medium-scale wars, and only has the opportunity to participate in wars that reach the level of large-scale battles.

As an extremely militant person, Ran Min longed for war all the time, and the bigger the scale, the better.

“老夫原以为要沉寂至少20年。”冉闵满是欢喜，一点都不掩饰对战争的喜爱：“20年啊！老夫今年42岁了，再过20年就是62岁。就算是真的有战争，20年后还轮到老夫统兵出征吗？”

The group of people who followed Liu Yan to rise to Weimo, the elderly are already in their 30s, and the youngest are in their 20s. If the war starts again after [-] years, it is also the time for the new generation of boys to perform. It’s not like they, the old nobles, are going to act tyrannically.

In the current Han Empire, although the nobles of the older generation in the military are all in high positions, they are more in a state of honor and support. Usually, the only ones who can command are their own soldiers, and they do not directly belong to the army.

This is the system of the army of the Han Empire. Once the rank of general or above is reached, the troops will be assigned to the troops only during wartime. If there is reason in non-wartime, no one will run to the army at every turn.

After reaching a certain status, people always have some scruples, but they can't just mess around with their temper, or if something happens to them, the family will also be implicated.

As an important minister of the military, where the national system is, he has to run to the army even though he knows there are taboos. Is he dissatisfied with the established system, or do he want to make a certain army his own private army?

People like Ran Min, who are always acting arrogant and domineering, know that frequent contact with the army is a taboo, and they stick to that bottom line, and other people can imagine it.

After reaching a certain status, there are more places to be scrupled, and there is really no enthusiasm that the middle and bottom layers can show.After all, they are all important ministers and dignitaries. If they climb up again, how high do they have to climb, and should there be a big drama to replace them?

"Ah San is really as submissive as he shows?" Ran Min didn't want to go to Fengguo anymore, even if his eldest son was doing Fengguo.He asked this question, not because he was worried about something wrong with the feudal parliament, but because he should show his concern as an important minister: "Vagadaga and Liang Satrapu, what happened?"

Qian Jiantong is the only one of the several major guardians who is not a marquis. His current state of mind can be said to be very complicated. He is happy that Ah San knows the way, but depressed that Ah San is enough to know the way.

In the Han Empire, there was no easier or faster way to be promoted than to participate in wars and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

Although the military merits of suppressing rebellion (riots) are not as good as those during the national war, they are still military merits!
Asan, most of the Brahmins are really too knowledgeable about current affairs, and a few of them who don't have time to make any big moves, just move a little bit, and the garrison of the Tianzhu Protectorate has not been deployed yet, and they are killed by other Brahmins. The Kshatriya under the command of the united party with the change was resolved.

So from the looks of it, Ah San is really not stupid, at least he knows how to judge the situation, and he can see how powerful the Han Empire is without being blind.

They may not be as loyal as they appear, but they are not stupid enough to sacrifice themselves for others.

But whoever has a little brain, wouldn't he think that if he takes the lead in opposing the Han Empire, he will be suppressed by the Han Empire in the most resolute and cruel way?

The Han Empire did not show any signs of decline, it was still as powerful as ever.Jumping out to resist at this time, most people think it is an act of seeking death, and maybe some people are not afraid of death, but they definitely don't want to die so that it is meaningless.

"They..." Qian Jiantong will not be so naive, thinking that those Brahmins are loyal and believe it: "It can only be beneficial or harmful to the big man."

Just like the Han Empire still allows Ah San's high caste to retain their privileges, many things don't need to look at the reasons behind them, they are just out of the needs of a certain stage.

The Han Empire needs the stability of the Tianzhu Protectorate, and Brahmins choose to show loyalty to the Han Empire, which is a positive side.

Waiting for the day when the Han Empire thinks that those Brahmins should be wiped out, the loyalty they show will become a harmful side.

Raising a dog, after a long time, the dog is loyal enough, even if you want to kill it, you need to consider the impact, right?

"Vagathaga didn't find any abnormality." Qian Jiantong looked at Ran Min suspiciously, and said, "Something happened in the two satraps."

Qian Jiantong looked at Ran Min with that look, doubting whether Ran Min would take over the command.

"It's best to have exceptions." Ran Min would not do such a stupid thing as taking over the military power of the Tianzhu Protectorate without the emperor's permission. What he wanted to do most now was to return to his country: "Use the fastest and most violent method, that is, Not to destroy the country in one fell swoop, but also to act as a sufficient deterrent."

Of course, Qian Jiantong also thinks so, and has already started to deploy.

Thousands of miles away, although Ran Min is a general of hussars, he really has no right to take over the command of the army of Tianzhu Protectorate.

There is only one prerequisite for Ran Min to take over the command of the Tianzhu Protectorate's army, not because the situation in the Tianzhu Protectorate is corrupt, but the death of Qian Jiantong is the prerequisite for the procedure of taking over the military power.

In fact, taking over the command of the Tianzhu Protectorate's army is troublesome for Ran Min.

Tianzhu Protectorate is just one of the overseas enclaves of the Han Empire.

Although the Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion is the largest overseas enclave, it is only a part of it. Taking over is equivalent to being tied to the Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion. He is absolutely unwilling to accept such a thing.

Rome and Sasanian have clearly shown hostility, and those things they did are tantamount to declaring war. It is impossible for the Han Empire not to respond, so successive wars have become an inevitable trend.

The Han Empire was too far away from Rome, and there was only one way to attack Rome. Once again, it assembled and formed a large-scale fleet to fight tens of thousands of miles across the sea.

The navy is not something Ran Min can handle.He also didn't want to hang around at sea for at least a year, or even longer.

There is currently no land border between the Han Empire and the Persian Sasanian, and there is a Hunnite in the middle, but the Han Empire does not actually take the Hunnite too seriously.

Originally, Hunnit was left because the Han Empire wanted to have a buffer zone with Persian Sassanid.For example, the last time they simply invaded the territory of Hunnit, swept across most of the country with almost no difficulty, and wiped out [-] to [-] Hunnit's so-called elite troops.

Judging from the course of that battle, it would not be too difficult for the Han Empire to destroy the Hunnites. It could be done by mobilizing five standing armies and recruiting about 20 county soldiers or servants.

What Ran Min wants to fight for is to be the commander of the Western Expedition. He is very clear that the Western Expedition will not be just one or a few battles. He can be sure that according to today's temper, this time the Western Expedition will probably continue to fight westward until the end of the Western Expedition. The end of the continent to the west.

Is there a more exciting conquest than this?Absolutely no more!

Just thinking about it for a moment, Ran Min felt that the blood in his body was about to burn!

Since the accident was already known, and it was a comprehensive accident, it was natural to give up visiting the closed country, and put aside the matter of meeting Ah San and collecting some benefits.

It took eight days for Ran Min and others to arrive in Cuttack from Huashi City.

When Ran Min and others arrived in Cuttack, the fleet led by Liang Min happened to have just arrived.

The fleet that came from the Annan Protectorate did not see the chaos that they originally suspected. It should be said that except for the heightened vigilance in Cuttack, the rest was not much different from usual.

"It should be because the Tianzhu Protectorate is not related to gunboats?" Chen Tan can only guess: "The army has artillery and stores a batch of gunpowder. But you can imagine how tightly guarded it is."

Liang Min was reading the newly received official documents.

The official document was written by Ran Min himself. It was not an order. It first introduced the situation of the Tianzhu Protectorate, and then asked if it was possible to arrange a ship to send them to Malacca.

The autographed book from the No. [-] person in the General's Mansion is not to mobilize the main fleet to do something, but to discuss whether a ship can be picked up or not.

Liang Min knew very well that the Hussars General's ability to write in his own hand was a huge honor to Tian Tian, ​​especially if he used the words of inquiry and negotiation.He was somewhat aware of Ran Min's reputation, and to be honest, he was a little afraid of Ran Min's attitude.

"Since there is no chaos in Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion..." Liang Min thought for a while, and said: "Leave [-]% of the warships and send documents to Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion. The remaining formation is dominated by Tan Dong, and we will escort The Hussars General, the Shaofu Ling and the Minister of Rites?"

The Annan Protectorate's Mansion also came to help. If the Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion fell into chaos, they should all stay.

Doesn't Tianzhu Protector's Mansion look peaceful now?Leaving [-]% of the warships has already achieved the greatest sincerity of the friendly forces.

It only takes two or three days to travel from Cuttack to Malacca. On the premise of not being restricted to death, it is necessary to sell face to the three marquises and a large group of nobles!

Naturally, an officer of the "Xingyang" would not object. Under the premise that there is no military conflict, it is a rare opportunity to be able to sell a favor to those big shots. Anyone who does not know how to seize it would be a fool.

In fact, the Tianzhu Protectorate had arranged for a fleet to send Ran Min and the others, but because there were not many fleets in the area under the jurisdiction of the Tianzhu Protectorate, and there were no gunboats, which seemed relatively shabby.

Ran Min knew that the "Xingyang" gunboat was in Cuttack Port, so it was not without reason that he temporarily arrested the strong men.

"Those Ah Sans seem to be very contented. To some extent, this is the most dangerous thing." Ran Min didn't know what arrangements the Tianzhu Protectorate had for the 'Xingyang' gunboat. He said, "Those guys The determination of the foreign race to obtain gunpowder is so great that they will not care about the cost. The old man wants to be escorted by the 'Xingyang' to avoid some potential dangers."

The truth seems to be like that?The military camp of the Annan Protectorate was attacked, and two organized gunboats were also set up.The Tianzhu Protectorate has not many artillery, and the amount of gunpowder it possesses is also scarce, and it is extremely tightly guarded, so there has been no attack.

Fu Shou smiled and said nothing to Ran Min's statement.He has his own judgment on what Ran Min said, about seven points are true and three points are false. If he wants to stay on the "Xingyang" for a period of time, the more starting point is to understand what the so-called gunboat is like, and make judgments based on this. What role will the gunboats play once they cross the sea to conquer Rome?

Gunboats were the absolute main force of the Han Empire at sea, and it was an inevitable trend for the navy to move from cold-armed warships to gunboats.

In the past, the navy only had a dozen or so gunboats because it was unnecessary. According to the plan, it planned to increase the number to fifty within ten years.

Now, the Han Empire is about to face a situation of siege from all over the world. After the national system is turned into a state of war, many things will inevitably change.

Thousands of miles away in the mainland of the Han Empire, Liu Yan led a hundred officials on their way back to Chang'an.

"Within two years, the gunboats must be increased to thirty!" Liu Yan was somewhat surprised to be besieged by the world this time, but he was not panicked: "The Han must firmly control the ocean and remain the sole overlord of the sea. .”

Xie Ai was taking notes, and the hard pen in his hand...that is, a pencil, kept writing "swish, swish, swish".

They have already arrived in Xingyang, and if they go further they will enter an area with a road. At that time, Liu Yan will take the rail car and return to Chang'an as quickly as possible.

Slave riots broke out in the country, and the riots in some places have been completely suppressed, but the riots in some places have left a tail and are still spreading to the surrounding areas.

Those places were joined by local Han people.God knows what they were thinking, maybe they thought it was time to change the dynasty, maybe they were coerced, but they just participated in the riots.

"Send an order to the Nanyang Protectorate." Liu Yan did not just want to do something one by one, but had his own overall considerations: "Fuwei was ordered to form an expedition fleet. At the same time, an order was sent to the Beiyang Fleet, and the gunboats under the establishment were mobilized to The Nanyang Protectorate is included in the sequence of the expedition fleet."

Slave riots would cause trouble for the Han Empire, and it would be a big trouble, but it is impossible to say that it will cause corruption.

The Han Empire is not afraid of wars on land at all, especially the Han Empire now has enemy countries in the west, and the countries in the other directions have basically been swept away.

For the Han Empire, even if the Anxi Protectorate was unable to block the first wave of danger with a standing army, it was only the temporary loss of the Western Regions by the Han Empire, and it was impossible for the enemy to break through the Yang Pass or Yumen Pass to invade the hinterland of the Han Empire.

"Your Majesty?" Sang Yu said in a sonorous tone: "When you return to Chang'an, Your Majesty should issue an edict that the whole country will enter a state of war."

It's just weird, the Han Empire didn't take the initiative to attack, those bastards should be lucky, but they took the initiative to provoke a war, that must be the most violent response!
