Some people may think that Suning's self-confidence is illogical, because the conquest of the Indian subcontinent often cannot be modeled simply using the confrontation between nomadic and agrarian tribes.

At least in the place called India, the agricultural economy was not as developed as expected, and it was not until the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty that they began to use iron farming tools extensively, and the news was only a few hundred years later than their neighbors, but the gap caused during this period was enough for them to slowly be pulled away enough.

And because their climate is relatively suitable for the growth of plants and trees, coupled with local food, they have a high yield. So they have a lot of information to feed their livestock, so they look more like a nomadic tribe, which is a worrying phenomenon in terms of the number of items they have.

What's more, the Han Dynasty that has been transformed by Suning has long been no longer what it used to be, if the land they occupy still has signs of nomadism, then after the arrival of his industrial system, this sign will quickly disappear. At least the herders don't drive their beloved long-haired sheep to the battlefield.

And the way they relied to achieve victory on the battlefield was more like that of agricultural civilizations, with strong walls and advanced machinery to defend and counterattack.

Therefore, in this war between the Han Dynasty and the Baicheng Dynasty, they must not be simply classified as a war between agricultural civilization and animal husbandry civilization.

This is Suning's evaluation of this, has always been dismissive, he insisted that after his rise in Liangzhou, he has already made a strong nomadic mark for the Han Dynasty, even now, within the scope of his control, the amount of arable land has not been quickly restored, out of the Guanzhong area and the Hezhong Plain, a large number of agricultural and sideline products are produced in the hope of high-yield crops. Even in the cabinet of the base camp, they have more than once drawn up a plan for the production of vegetable baskets for the peasants, which is mainly a choice made to enrich the national menu.

The Han Dynasty was a dynasty that liked to emphasize the issue of food and clothing. They did not hesitate to bring in a variety of crops suitable for cultivation from the Western Regions, and even local officials often opened their own small vegetable gardens for cultivation, including garlic from Lanling County in Shandong Province, there are many places with agricultural characteristics, and the history of their vegetable cultivation can be traced back to this period. This fully proves the importance that the government at that time attached to enriching agricultural production and sources of income.

But since the arrival of Kang Caien, although he brought more seeds to the Liangzhou system, but the relatively scarce population, so that the arable land seems very rich, coupled with the alleviation of the main food, and the simplicity of the local folk customs, so that most of the vegetables have become a luxury that people can only see but not taste, and then with the continuous development of agricultural planting technology, each family has mastered the ability to grow vegetables, according to common sense, you can deal with this kind of luxury that is usually rare, but the situation has changed in another wayThat is, because the land is relatively allocated, so they can grow enough vegetables for their own families to eat, so they stop and continue to expand production, because each family has sufficient land for similar cultivation, so the vegetables in the market are not common, because no one will go there to buy at all, and the vegetable farmers who only occasionally try to sell there will also suffer serious mental trauma because of the recession of the sales channel.

This situation has not been well improved in the past few years, even if the Guanzhong area fell into the hands of Suning, the local relatively dense population should play a role in promoting this slow process of marketization, but unfortunately, the Guanzhong people have a very tight feeling of food because of the long-term overpopulation, they immediately replaced their original wheat as the main plant, with potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that they have freed up a sufficient amount of land to grow vegetables as a luxury, yes, These vegetables are also delicacies that should only be eaten by those dignitaries in their minds, and they only need a small amount to satisfy their curiosity, and they are satisfied.

This situation made Suning very distressed, but he couldn't find a solution for a while, and even because most of the vegetables could bear seeds for the next generation to continue to reproduce, it was not easy to sell them directly to the various princes in the Kanto region.

At least among Cao Cao's subordinates, some people broke the chili peppers they bought and scattered the seeds directly on the ground, I heard that fried pork with chili peppers has become an indispensable local dish, these things happened in Liangzhou ten years ago, and Cao Cao has now copied them into his own territory, it is obvious that Tao Tao is imitating the rise of the Liangzhou system to win more people's following.

Although Suning still has the greatest advantage now, in this case, if it is not taken decisively, I am afraid that there will be greater problems in the future, so trade with the Western Great Qin Empire will be very important.

Returning to the essence of the problem, all these changes mean that the Han Dynasty controlled by Suning is likely to be no longer a country with agriculture as the main production, too high production efficiency, too advanced production machinery, too sophisticated grain seeds are all the products of their emphasis on agriculture, but unfortunately, this Chinese habit comes from their tradition, and they are lucky to get something beyond them for more than a thousand years, so under the brewing of this tradition, suddenly gave birth to something unconventional, which made Suning a little crying and laughing.

So from his own point of view, the Han Dynasty is no longer a purely agricultural country, but India in the south is undoubtedly still carrying out traditional agricultural production, although the production efficiency is not high, the production tools are not advanced enough, and even the consciousness of production labor is not strong, because their local natives are too difficult, but this cannot be denied that they are still an agricultural country, even if they raise war elephants and other livestock, this cannot be used as evidence of nomadic herding. At least most of them are sedentary.

In such a statement, some people may say that this is an industrial civilization, an invasion of agricultural civilization, just like the British colonists did, the difference is that Suning's process is going very fast, and there are not even too many contradictions with the local soil bags, but in fact, your subordinates still paid a lot of patience in the process of conquering the Balochistan region. The local natives caused enough trouble for them that they even forced Suning's subordinates to resort to many unconventional methods, including large-scale killings.

Although in the original history, the British also paid a heavy price because of the resistance of several princely states when they were in the government, and even some places were finally solved after three or four wars, but the British have a whole life system to serve their war, as long as the war is over and the land is in their own hands, they can quickly integrate this place into their own trade system through posters.

It's a pity that Suning's subordinates don't have such a developed trade system, and if they want to fully integrate this place into their control, they still need to carry out strict management. This is an important reason why they will take unconventional measures here, and another point is that they have a large number of educational facilities in the local area, although they emphasize the use of Chinese characters for teaching, but some widely used languages in the local princely states will also be included in their teaching scope, which effectively alleviates the political contradictions with the local natives.

But even so, their local dignitaries also need unity and a large number of troops to be able to do well, which is completely different from the British approach, because they can use trade to bring benefits to the locals, under the temptation of money, the so-called loyalty is not as reliable as imagined, even if their primitive beliefs seem very fierce, but they cannot withstand the deception of the material interests of the new era.

Therefore, to sum it up in one sentence, Suning's current chain system is still very different from the British colonists at that time, and even a gap.

Therefore, this war is a showdown between industrial civilization and agricultural civilization, and it is also very irrational and scientific.

So the definition from the beginning should be very accurate, this is a nomadic tribe armed by industrial civilization, against the southern agricultural civilization, control the area of large-scale invasion.

It was only this war of aggression that aroused the vigilance of the local regime, and it took the initiative to send troops to counterattack.

That's the only difference.

But this is obviously naïve, because even the Han Dynasty, which was still very strong at the time of its fall, lost to the nomadic tribes in the north, the Xianbei people, with the record of all three armies in the first few years of Suning's crossing here.

Under such circumstances, the regime of agricultural civilization that dares to take the initiative is simply synonymous with madness.

So on their charging road, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of dangerous situations, and after the previous station was not under the king's order, slowly moving, and after the opponent's solid defense line, Suning was lying calmly in the trench, slowly looking up into the distance, and the morning star that had not yet completely disappeared in the sun.

Some of the more stubborn Emperor Wei Ming will make surprising choices, but in line with the principle of opportunism, the southern county king, who tried to use this war of aggression to achieve his goal of unifying his internal power, may not be able to achieve his wish this time.

Because of the next tactical arrangement, there was almost no need for him to act, the commanders who were familiar with the battlefield had already moved the counterweight trebuchet behind the defense line, and in the process of standing on it, huge stones were whistling in their sky, and the whirring sound surprised the elephants who had never seen this thing, and their discomfort became heavier and heavier, as if they were cursed by some demon king, The soldiers who followed them closely behind them were severely hit, and the cries all over the mountains began to resound in the sky, and the king who was hiding at the end of the fire, although it was not within the range of the counterweight trebuchet, he looked deeply at everything that happened in front of him, and only felt that his back had been soaked with cold sweat, and he didn't expect that the empire called the Han Dynasty was so powerful and despicable.

In fact, there is something even more despicable going on, your teahouse bubble made of bronze is being filled with gunpowder.

The loud roar was followed by the thought of the already terrified elephants, and under the fright of this mysterious weapon, they immediately changed their original docile appearance, and they fled in all directions in panic, trampling down most of the infantry around them, and throwing down all the archers on their bodies.

During this period, there are two worlds that are very noteworthy, one is the archers on the elephants, they brought a huge threat to the Han Dynasty soldiers hiding in the positional warfare by virtue of their height advantage, and when they entered Lian Suning's side, they also dropped a lot of feather arrows, but fortunately, the armor on his body was quite strong, and the depth of the trench digging was enough. This allowed him to dodge a large number of sneak attacks with tricky tracks.

Otherwise, he would have been unable to hold back a long time ago, and he would have launched an attack in advance.

And another detail had already made her laugh, after pushing the stone driver to attack, the soldiers behind the elephant made a strange choice, because they had a large number of military teams behind them, so they did not dare to escape, so as not to lose their lives, but they were afraid of the huge stones flying from the sky, so they had to hide near the huge elephants, they thought that these big guys could help them cover the flying stones, Unfortunately, however, the big projects were then even more frightened, and as they ran in all directions in panic, they trampled all the soldiers to the ground.

Under the combined blow of two weapons with five not too high pillows, the southern regime that launched an initiative to the north paid the price of a large number of soldiers killed, which was obviously something that the monarch did not want to see, so he immediately showed a sad expression, but under his flickering, the princes who chose to send troops together would not let go of the opportunity to clean him up because of his painful performance, you know, most of them took out their old ways to fight against this powerful invader.

But it's good that their old book was folded in like this, and if they didn't give an explanation, they wouldn't let go of this southern monarch.
