Chapter 814: Eurasian Fundamentals
The development of Europe is a little better than that of the Indians in the Americas, because once these warriors of Greece, Rome, and Northern Europe had traditional armaments, and the emergence of knights was the main force of Europe.
According to the later generations, the knight should be a heavy cavalry, select strong, skilled knights with bows and horses, their own combat effectiveness is relatively high, knights are also the top power in Europe, once invincible troops, the strength of the combat effectiveness between the nobles, all come from the number of knights.
But this knight system, that is, around the 11th and 12th centuries, fell apart, and the root of his disintegration was the Mongolian cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry of 20,000 people, like the Yellow Peril, beat the heavy cavalry of Europe to the ground, and after that, the military system of the whole Europe changed, and the knights were still there, but they were no longer the main forces on the original battlefield.
In this time and space, the fate of the knights is even more miserable, the thermal weapons troops that come from thousands of miles away, but there is no logistical problem at all, China's steady and steady progress, let the army fight, where the railway is repaired, there is only a difference of 100 kilometers at most, which can provide sufficient supplements with strong manufacturing power.
With a distance of more than 100 kilometers, even if you use horse-drawn horses and manpower, there will not be much of a problem, not to mention that the current Dinghai Navy also has motor vehicles.
From the appearance of the internal combustion engine, to the gradual development, it has been decades, the emergence of a large number of cars, solved the problem of the final transportation, if the road is muddy, the conditions are not enough, there are also tracked motor vehicles.
As long as there is an internal combustion engine, it is not a problem to make a car, and the crawler type is of course, although it is said that the crawler crawler has many ways, as well as the relationship between the wheels, but these can be obtained through experiments, because of the relationship between the high processing difficulty, there are not many.
However, 10 tracked transporters and 200 other vehicles of various kinds in one division are enough to meet the needs of the entire division, and as long as the railway is built in the future, it can provide continuous support.
Thermal weapons units with logistical support and thermal weapons units without logistical support are two completely different troops, and in the face of thermal weapons, heavy cavalry like knights are probably not very different from other arms, and even because they are too heavy, they fail and can't run.
The battle on the battlefield, because of the characteristics of the European war, after suffering a defeat on the battlefield, they found that they could not fight, they would quickly surrender, and there was no tradition of massacres in the navy, so in the whole process of the war, the population loss was not large.
Zhao Xin is not an extreme nationalist, but the foreign race should be reduced, the more the Northern Song Dynasty people increase, the better, and the fewer other people, the better.
Infectious diseases, mainly the Black Death, began to circulate through secret channels, smallpox and plague, as well as malaria and cholera, which began to be used in Europe through bacteriological research in the Dinghai Navy.
But relatively speaking, it is much better, the Dinghai Navy has developed vaccines for several of them, and the resistance to these is very strong, and at the same time, a large number of doctors are with the army, in the army, implement environmental sanitation, do not drink raw water, and do all the protection, even if it has some impact, it will not affect the overall situation.
Even the guarded navy was not immune to the plague, let alone the Europeans, in the Middle Ages Dark Ages, there were no doctors in Europe at all, and the construction of the modern medical system was after the 19th century, before that, the whole of Europe, there were more witch doctors, bloodletting was the most important treatment, and in the face of the Black Death and other similar plagues, they had no effective methods at all.
20 years is the dark years of Europe, of course, after the Chinese occupation, almost all history has been cut off, relying on word of mouth, it is impossible to record history, plus the white race has been integrated and divided dozens of times, or even more yellow people, about this period of history, almost all of them have been buried in the pile of old papers.
Everything is advancing according to the plan of the navy, China's advance speed is very fast, in a sense, the speed of the navy's advancement is not according to the degree of resistance, it is completely the speed of its own construction, once the construction is completed, the railway spreads forward, the army will naturally move forward, this speed can not be regarded as fast, of course, it cannot be regarded as slow, maintaining a certain constant speed, no matter how the European vertical and horizontal are combined, can not resist China's troops.
In 1092 AD, in the abdication of Renzong for 30 years, Zhao Xin at this moment is 53 years old, in terms of age, it is already very old, in history, there are very few emperors who can live to this age, not to mention, when Zhao Xin was more than ten years old, he was already pro-government, and he reigned for more than 40 years, and even from Renzong's abdication and the beginning of China's merger, it has been 30 years.
The average emperor, at this moment, is already low on energy, if there are some diseases, overindulgence, excessive intake, will also cause a series of diseases, and the state of all aspects will decline.
But Zhao Xin didn't, because of the existence of the all-in-one machine, Zhao Xin had developed very early, and he was the most at the age of ten, whether it was strength, mind, or energy, he was stronger than ordinary people, which was also the foundation for Zhao Xin to be able to sit firmly.
After that, for 40 years, Zhao Xin has always maintained a mental state, as well as physical characteristics, in 1092, Zhao Xin, who is already 53 years old, is still a young man about 20 years old, physical state, energy, and many other aspects, are at the peak of the state.
According to his physical condition, he still has at least a few decades to take advantage of this opportunity to fundamentally lay a good and profound foundation for China and the yellow race.
30 years of time, is the fastest development of the whole of China, but also the most drastic change of the era, if replaced by someone else's rule, such a huge country, a large population, a vast territory, I am afraid that there will be a problem long ago, the feudal dynasty in history, often only able to command a part of the Central Plains region, other places, are remote collar, generally there is no problem is just that, once there is a problem, it will be a big problem.
None of these situations happened in the hands of Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin was in the Dinghai Navy, and after the unification of China, the most he did was transportation, from roads, railways, aviation, shipping, different forms, similar systems, so that the distance became shorter.
Distance is the biggest problem, the emperor is far away, this is a very critical problem, the same, Zhao Xin also chose flat management, although the establishment of Wujing, Wujing plays more of a monitoring function, is the role of the regional center and hub, the real role, or the administrative division of the province as a unit.
Here, it must be said that Zhao Xin has been steady and steady from the beginning, and it took several years to stabilize the Dinghai Navy and lay a deep foundation in the Dinghai Navy, and then he expanded, through Ryukyu, Hainan, and Jeju Island.
When these lands and islands had been almost developed, they attacked the Liao State and took over the Liao State completely with a large army.
After that, even the Liao State can be easily taken, if it attacks the Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention a single down, it should be no problem to take it in a relatively short period of time, but Zhao Xin is not.
Such a move laid the foundation for the future, and the Dinghai Navy was later, taking advantage of the Northern Song Dynasty's defenselessness, to gain tens of millions of people, and laid the foundation of the Dinghai Navy in one fell swoop.
Then, it took more than 10 years to continue to consolidate the whole of China, and only after it developed did it expand to the outside world.
It is this kind of stability, so that China's development, completely embarked on a different path, China's development to this time, is incomprehensible, in the 10th century, with the 29th century or so shipping capacity and combat effectiveness, while the steel production has also surpassed before World War II, the most important thing is to have more population.
Not to mention the First World War, at that time, it was mainly Europe that participated in the war, and the United States only entered the war in the later period, so let's talk about the Second World War, excluding China and India, how many people are there, and how many people are there in China at this moment.
In the 42 years from 1046 to 1092, China's average growth rate reached 8%, from a population of more than 100 million to 850 million, and the result was that the whole world was full of yellow people.Chinese
Population is always the most important factor, Napoleon said that the sleeping lion, more is the potential of the population, in European countries, millions of people, can already be called a big country, an old China with a population of 450 million, even if it is very weak in all aspects, is a terrible object.
Now, everything is gone, in the best of times, in the era of great development, the emergence of China, changed the whole course, in the Americas, in Europe, the growth of the yellow race, in contrast, the great shrinkage of the white race and other races.
Based on the tactics and weapons of East Asia at that time, as long as there was a reasonable tool, the forces of the Western Xia Liao State and any of the three Northern Song Dynasty countries in Europe would be swept away, not to mention the China with thermal weapons and terrible warships that had destroyed many nomads and completely eliminated the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols.
The soldiers pointed out that the entire Eurasian continent was quickly occupied, starting from 1070, almost 20 years, which took Europe, 20 years of wars, infectious diseases and killings, the population of Europe was at least more than half, and the remaining population, almost rarely left in place, 850 million people, to assimilate twenty or thirty million white people, maybe a few generations later, these races will be integrated into the yellow race.
Steady and steady, from the beginning of the start, to all of Europe, it took 20 years, this is still under the premise of trains, internal combustion engines, and a large number of mechanized equipment, this can not be said to be stable, it is simply turtle speed.
After occupying Europe step by step, some follow-up arrangements have also begun to be gradually revealed.
First of all, it is the construction of the city, in the development of the navy, taking the road of urbanization, with the city as the core, with transportation as the link of the development mode, compared with the state and county governments in this era, it is a level higher, so to occupy such a large territory in Eurasia, it needs a large number of cities.
At the time of the invasion from Asia all the way to Europe, cities were also being built, mostly some liaison cities, and node cities, these cities, used for logistical supply cities, were no problem, but as a regional control core, some were not good.
The construction of the city is inevitable, for this, Zhao Xin has no experience, this era, and later generations are very different, some transportation hubs and big cities have not yet appeared, Europe in the 11th century and the 21st century, the changes are very big, Zhao Xin can not from the history, but only from the convenience and transportation hub characteristics of the city to build the city.
Eurasia is a basic disk, this is a complete continent that can be connected together, this is the largest continent on the whole earth, a large number of cities will be built, and at the same time, various means of transportation are needed to connect them together.
In Zhao Xin's plan, four major arteries will be used to connect the entire continent.
In the 21st century, because of the environment, as well as various problems and disputes between countries, the Eurasian artery has not been completely connected, a total of 4 have been designed, the northernmost is the Trans-Siberian Railway, which once allowed Russia's footsteps to move quickly to Asia, which is the most difficult and takes longer.
Although it is said that when the Dinghai Navy advanced to Europe, it will take at least 10 years to complete the double line and the overall electrification transformation.
The second is from Beijing, then to Mongolia, then to the Xinjiang region, through the mountain passes, into Central Asia, and then from the middle, from the north side of the Caspian Sea, to Europe.
The third is that the location of the Eurasian land bridge and the end point of the connection are the largest port in Asia, the Dinghai Port, which is also an important passage for China to attack Europe, and the main force along the way is in this aspect.
The fourth is in the south, which is more complicated, because she will travel through the Tibetan Plateau, and then, in the plateau, blow up a mountain pass, pass to the South Asian subcontinent, and then detour, to the Arab region, and then from the direction of Turkey, contact the location that originally belonged to the 3B railway, and follow the 3B railway into Europe.
The four railways, designed to have a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour, can complete a distance of 3,600 kilometers in one day, and it may only take about 4 days to reach Paris, the core of Europe, from Bianliang, so that the whole of Europe can be controlled.
