Chapter 960: Civilization
The Xia, Han, and Anxi protectorates were able to work together with the outside world, but Sassanid and Rome couldnnot.
After two years of fierce fighting, various domestic contradictions are also on the verge of breaking out.
Although the Sassanids were obsessed with the river, they did not have the courage to challenge Daqin at this time.
Central Asia basically became the outer circle of the Great Qin, and the Bada people, the Yueshi people, the Qiuzi people, and the Sogdians united around the Anxi Protectorate.
In the south, Daxia and Tocharo, as well as around the Aral Sea, the tribes relied on the Great Qin to rise up nine small city-states, called Zhaowu Jiu, with their surnames as the country names, namely Mi, Kang, An, Shi, He, Cao, Shi, Huoxun, and Wudi.
For three hundred years, these tribes were enslaved by the Kushan and Sassanid.
Only Great Qin gave them dignity and allowed them to build a state.
Of course, this is also a big game of chess played by Du.
There are these small countries around the river and the Seven River basins, which actually play the role of buffer countries.
It isolated the direct impact of the Persian civilization and the Roman civilization on the Great Qin.
In the military, it can also play the role of a shield.
Although the kingdom was established, the power of these small states was divided into three, the king, the Xuanyi order, and the Zhonglang general.
The king is the nominal supreme ruler.
And the Xuanyi Order is equivalent to the prime minister of these small countries.,In addition to being responsible for the big and small government affairs in the country,One of the most important responsibilities is to sinicize the local.。
The lieutenant general is the military governor and is in charge of all the armies in the country.
It can be a Qin person or a local person.
According to the strength, each country has about 2,000 to 10,000 troops, and the right to train and command is completely in the hands of the Anxi Protectorate.
The system, architecture, clothing, and language of the country are the same as those in the mainland.
Only the appearance is slightly different.
Central Asia has formed a Chinese civilization circle with the Great Qin as the core.
More and more cities began to emerge in the Central Plains style buildings, and more and more people worshiped Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and other sages in the Confucian temple.
The Central Asians of this era did not have so many feelings for their homeland, and they were enslaved by the Kushans today and the Persians tomorrow, and they had long been accustomed to it.
On the contrary, it was Daqin who gave them dignity and allowed them to establish a country, so they naturally had to hug Daqin's thighs tightly.
The Chinese civilization has grown vigorously in Central Asia, and it is basically in a crushing situation against other civilizations, and the powerful civilization has also attached various dividends.
The entire Western Regions and Central Asia are beautiful in terms of the appearance of the Qin people.
In the Han, Wei and Jin eras, attention was paid to manners and handsome guys.
Although Du Yu has a big neck, it does not affect his aesthetics, and the selected Xuanyi Ling and Zhonglang will either have thick eyebrows and big eyes or sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with a tall body, graceful bearing, and exquisite clothing, which immediately set off a wave of enthusiasm in Central Asia.
Appearance has been justice since ancient times.
The people of Central Asia began to be complacent with a face similar to that of the Central Plains, and took the initiative to tie their hair to the right side and learn the Chinese language.
The women were even more crazy, every time the children of the Qingying of the good families of the Anxi Protectorate rode horses to inspect the countries, the women would empty the alleys, and the noble women and commoner women would shout with each other, hoping to attract the attention of the Qin army.
Compared with the rough local men with unshaven beards and unkempt beards in Central Asia, the Daqin men were more refined, handsome, and confident.
These good sons and soldiers of the Qingying are also known as "Oriental Knights" by the Central Asian tribes.
The black armor set off their heroic spirit, and the ring-headed sword at the waist also became the target of imitation by the Central Asian tribes.
A big man in later generations said that if the women of a country like poetry, then the vast majority of men are poets.
If women like money, men all over the country go for it......
It is the same in this era, where a man's aesthetic depends on a woman's vision.
Soon, Central Asia was full of Han clothes.
Huaxia, Huaxia, the beauty of uniforms is called Hua, and the etiquette is called summer.
The rise of civilization, in addition to swords, is also on the basis of clothing and cultural self-confidence.
Compared with the linen shirts of Central Asia, the embroidery and chapter patterns of the Central Plains are undoubtedly crushed.
Many cities began to take the initiative to invite the soldiers of the Qin army as guests, and such a good exchange opportunity, Du Yu naturally would not miss it, and everything was not allowed.
The people of Central Asia were open, and so were the Han and Wei dynasties, and the Confucian rites and religions had not yet developed to the point of restricting human nature.
In the era of the Sima family, the life of the scholars was erosive, and the play was more flowery, and men and women couldn't help but ......
When the wine is hot, half pushed and half done, the raw rice will be cooked into cooked rice.
In the decades that followed, more and more new faces were born in Central Asia......
When the Sassanid Dynasty saw that there was no chance in the river, they could only send envoys again to express peace and friendship.
It is naturally best not to fight, and the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit.
For the Sassanids, the ultimate enemy was still Rome, and if they retreated from the western battlefield, the Romans would move forward.
Sassanid weakened, but Rome did not, and in the last great war, Rome had gained a certain advantage because of Diocletian's new cavalry, and naturally was unwilling to stop fighting now.
So he increased the introduction of Germanic, Slavic, Celtic and other barbarians, ready to play a big game for the Sassanids.
After the Great Qin occupied Hezhong in these years, they were relieved that they did not expand into the core areas of the Sassanid Empire such as Khorasan and Fars, and also contributed to this negotiation.
"Your Excellency, our great Persian Emperor is willing to recognize Great Qin's control of the river, but please support our horses, equipment, and food."
A new round of war was about to resume, and the Sassanids gradually felt the strain, and had to bow their heads in front of Daqin.
The new cavalry of the Romans was a good performer on the battlefield, and the traditional cavalry of the Sassanid Empire was no match for it.
Although they also followed the example of the Qin army and were equipped with high saddles and double stirrups, they did not learn the same things inside.
The Confucian spirit of loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and courage is simply tailor-made for war.
What monarch doesn't want his army to be loyal, brave, and faithful?
"You need more than horses, equipment, and food." Du had an absolute advantage in this negotiation, and over the years his popularity in Central Asia grew, and his name spread to all corners of the Mediterranean.
"What is it?" The messenger became more and more humble.
"You can choose officers to come to the river, and Daqin will train you for you." Du Zhen smiled.
The fall of the Sassanid Empire was not a good thing for Great Qin, and the belligerence of the Romans was not inferior to that of the Persians.
The envoy's face hesitated slightly, and he only started training now, I'm afraid it's too late, the Romans have already sharpened their swords, "Your Excellency, we request that we can recruit mercenaries in the river, hire retired Qin soldiers to fight for us, we will pay a high reward, and at the same time, we will also send the children of nobles to the river to learn advanced military technology." ”
Joining the war between the two countries in the name of an individual is actually an excellent process of infiltration.
The more fierce the fighting on both sides, the more prosperous the river became.
Du Yu nodded slightly, "Yes." ”
The messenger was overjoyed, "Great Qin will win the friendship of our Persians." ”
Du Yu also smiled: "Then I hope there will be no more war between our two countries." ”
