Chapter 448: Hire Your Soldiers First, Then Your Country—3
After the battle of Hua's City, most of the Ganges River valley had fallen into the hands of the Yangzhou system, but the pressure on law and order here was still very great. According to common sense, ancient India has been invaded by outsiders many times, and they should have more advanced experience in how to deal with such a situation, of course, this sentence is not to praise them, but to say that they are submissive, and should not bring too much trouble to the people of Suning, but the facts have proved that they still need to exert huge pressure in the process of local governance as they did in the Sindh region before, and even after Suning analyzed some intelligence, At one point, he wanted Shiro to come here to serve as an archon.
Of course, his ideas could not be universally agreed upon by the top of the system, although after the fall of Berthelow, Suning's authority continued to expand, and now he is an emperor in the system, and most orders will be thoroughly carried out once they are issued. But the use of white Qi will still be resolutely resisted by humanism, although such a voice will no longer be as sharp as before, but the more at this time, Suning will become more and more careful, he always has a literati-like feeling of guarding against slander, so at this time he is not ready to pull white chess here.
However, the Ganges River basin will be an important grain production base in the future, and it is also an important forward base for their further development in the direction of Myanmar.
The first is to maintain sufficient military deterrence in the local area, after all, in addition to the internal Xiao Xiaozhi, they also need to worry about the strong coveting of several neighboring regimes, such as the guy called the Baicheng Dynasty, they will bring a huge threat to Suning's team. Speaking of which, this dynasty, which has many different translations, was originally one of the successors of the Mauryan Empire, but since they set up camp in the northern part of the Deccan Plateau, they have not developed into the core area of the Mauryan Empire, that is, the Ganges River valley, which has just been occupied by Suning and others.
But this does not mean that they are indifferent to this large bunch of granaries, and if the situation here is in chaos, then a large-scale military operation is inevitable, and for the largest empire in north-central India, it is entirely possible to challenge a foreign empire that has not yet established its roots.
So a new war was pushed into their plans by the Liangzhou system, but the realization of this sentence arrangement did not depend on them, and the Han Dynasty army that fought most of Central and South Asia, but from the distant Western Great Qin Empire, the mercenary corps from Su Sister, who would be the backbone of most of the regimes in the northern Deccan Plateau.
Among their ancestors, there may have been many people who followed Alexander and participated in the Eastern Crusade, but their footsteps stopped north of the New Kush Mountains, and they did not complete the conquest of North India and Central and South India, but this time the gate of the New Kush Mountains was already in the hands of the Han Dynasty brothers, and their power did not even need to be shown in North India, because their enemy was the Baiyan Dynasty in Central and North India.
When they saw the empire on the map, some people not only complained with annoyance about the military route arrangement of the Liangzhou system, but also knew that when they went south, they could launch a surprise attack on the empire from the north, without taking a detour to the northeast to attack the country.
But in fact, the Ganges River basin has always been an important birthplace of Indian civilization, and this river is also known as their holy river, and even after 1800, many people are proud to be able to drink boxes of water, even if the water of the Ganges River has become dirty at that time, but it cannot stop their worship.
This is a good demonstration of the importance of the Ganges Valley to Indian civilization, which means that they cannot give up a core area like this, and it is a decisive battle to attack from here.
Moreover, if the attack is launched from the northeast of the Deccan Plateau, then the Liangzhou system, which already has a territory in northwest India, can easily attack from behind.
As for how this territory was won, of course, it was due to Bai Qi, his high-pressure policy in Sindh and Punjab or the local residents, quickly integrated into the Liangzhou system, after that, he began to follow the routine of the Greeks to invade India, and began to gradually encroach on the land of Northwest India, those principalities established by the Greeks, under the attack of the well-organized Liangzhou system, soon collapsed, although their ancestors left them enough glory and glory, Even in the Hellenistic era, except for the Chinese civilization protected by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the desert of the Western Regions, most of them were influenced, but it is undeniable that the Greeks were indeed very strong along the weft, but if they changed the vertical direction, what they did was really inferior to the Chinese civilization.
Look at the fat rooster territory, which is 5,000 kilometers away horizontally and vertically, unlike Alexander's empire, which looks like a rugby lying on its side.
So they were under the attack of the Liangzhou system, it was impossible to hold out for too long, so Bai Qi controlled this area, and looked for a few good harbors nearby, although the construction of the navy could not be achieved overnight, although the long-distance navigation ability is still the same, they need to slowly pile up, but it is undeniable that in Suning's Liangzhou system, there is such a large group of summoners, willing to do their best for this future will definitely be promising, so a large amount of wood began to be cut from the surrounding forests, Their ability to control land was quickly improved by the fact that they were involved in maritime trade, as most people wanted to be able to exchange their hands for enough money, rather than use their hands to fight the rulers to the death.
As a result, Northwest India has long been within the control of the Liangzhou system, but those states in North India are not yet in their hands, so that the Baiyan Dynasty did not take them to heart at all, after all, they were also controlled by foreigners in the past.
This is also what the civil administrators of the Ganges Valley should learn from.
It's a pity that they haven't found a suitable outlet to the sea yet, but inland waterway shipping has made a huge contribution to the recovery of the economy, and will also become an important contribution to the Liangzhou system for traditional agri-food production.
