And the path he is currently pursuing, or the path that the Tang Empire is pursuing beyond the steady advancement of this idea, is to put it bluntly, rapid expansion, as fast as there are areas.
The price of this speed, of course, is that, contrary to the route of seeking stability, the organizational structure of each native tribe is not destroyed or reset, and the leader of the other party is generally not replaced.
Instead, it mainly focuses on cooperation. The main goal is to annihilate more enemies as soon as possible and obtain more land that can be used by itself. Some native tribes want to expand and want more slaves and land, and the people of the Tang Empire
No matter whether the people on our side are good, they also need more slaves and land.
As for long-term peace and stability, that is not something that sensible people should consider at this stage - only by eating the most land and slaves as quickly as possible can we gain the most material resources in the shortest time, and only then can our own combat effectiveness be improved.
In this sense, this rapid expansion path is actually not easy to follow, because even if you expand quickly, it is not a good thing just to cooperate with the various leaders of the Latu tribe - they are cooperating with you today
, maybe we won’t cooperate tomorrow. Or we may listen to the instructions but not the announcement, or we may suddenly mess up and take advantage of the situation at some critical moment, directly trap you and then harvest you.
This kind of thing cannot be said to be common in history, it can only be said that it happens every day. The most direct example is the time when Han Xin asked Liu Bang to make him the King of Qi. In this case, letting the boss be promoted before the battle is really a good man.
.
Han Xin is quite good. Although this guy is talented, he suffered a lot of psychological trauma when he was young, so he has a childish temperament. In fact, if he didn't engage in too many suicide attempts, he wouldn't have to die.
The truly powerful example is the later President Jiang. Li Sheng was very familiar with this guy. This guy used devious tricks to get to the top, but he got there smoothly. The result is that this guy has no control over all the forces in the country.
Although others can do land reform, he will never even think about it - after all, the people who need land reform are the collaborators who sent him there in the first place.
Although little Hannibal didn't know about this classic case in the classics, he could still understand that the guy who came to the temple on the way to become a monk was definitely not as reliable as the little novice monk he had brought up since childhood. In the best case scenario, in fact,
Or just do it like the Tang Empire did.
But the problem is, it can't be done, the Tang Empire's cards are too big and rich!
This is the scariest thing.
The scary thing is not that others have more cards than you, or that they play better than you. Because people who have more cards than you will always make mistakes, and those strategists who rarely make mistakes often refer to Han Fei.
A series of articles and works complaining about society. These people are often unsuccessful, or at least not so successful. If you look at it this way,
An opponent like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is extremely terrifying. Not only does this guy have extremely precise strategic operations, he also has a rich and huge hand of cards. This guy can beat him!
Of course, little Hannibal himself was not a vegetarian. Although the Tang Empire had developed material civilization and mastered many unpredictable and powerful weapons in the military field, they were not unmatched in everything after all. The simplest
, the navigation talents of these guys are not as rich as those on the European continent.
This point has actually been reflected in later generations. For example, in the gaming field, almost every professional player in the European server is good at and loves a character called Blood Harbor Ghost - it can be said that to some extent, it also reflects its culture.
Tradition and spiritual core.
However, young Hannibal was still anxious, because even if he mobilized all the sailing talents from Rome, no, all Southwest Europe, and Northwest Europe to explore the Americas, and even conquered the Americas himself, those less knowledgeable young men in the country might not know.
But I know it too well.
I, the king of Rome, the heroes of Rome, the children of Rome, and Rome itself have been working hard towards victory, so...
Didn't the Tang Empire do this? This is obviously impossible.
So, based on this calculation, if it is assumed that Rome's current strength improvement efficiency is one point per day, then the Tang Empire's efficiency is also one point per day.
And considering the complexity of the terrain of the Tang Empire, the character of the population produced, and the diversity of endowments, and this diversity interacted and promoted each other under the operation of the Tang Empire's current extremely powerful government, then it is conceivable that
And I know, no, there is no doubt that the Tang Empire's national power is not improving a little bit every day, it may be dozens of points.
What does this amount to? Every time Rome captured a piece of American pastoral land, the Tang Empire could capture dozens of times the land!
This feeling is really amazing.
Under this kind of anxiety, little Hannibal's hair is naturally also.
But having said that, little Hannibal was still very excited after learning the latest news.
This news is about another offensive strategy of the Tang Empire. Of course, what the Tang Empire did was a method that did not look like conquering a city or a territory, but it actually did not look like conquering a city or a territory.
The other route seems to be a mirror image of and complementary to this authentic, stable, and trouble-free strategy that allows you to get as much as you want.
That set, to put it bluntly, was what I was doing. I have to say that I was really nervous when I learned about this kind of thing, but I thought about it again.
This doesn't seem to be the case.
Although at first thought, this is undoubtedly a worse situation for little Hannibal, but think about it,
Why is my side, that is, Rome's side, so anxious now? Is it possible that I am worrying too much?
Definitely not.
Rationally speaking, to put it bluntly, Rome's approach, no matter what, still has hidden dangers.
Why do you say that?
Because no matter how smoothly Rome conquers cities and territories - objectively speaking, Rome has now captured one-third, or even close to half of America. This has already captured half of America. The next step, it seems, although the Tang Empire
It was very powerful, but as long as Rome accelerated its expansion as quickly as possible, it would be feasible to eventually capture most of America and start a confrontation with the Tang Empire. It seemed.
If such a situation can be achieved, the future of Rome does not seem so bad, because even if its foundation is not as good as the Tang Empire, and not as deep and powerful as China, Rome is not one of those native tribes after all, and can still develop.
However, in fact, there is no such good thing. Rapid expansion will inevitably give people opportunities to take advantage of.
However, since Rome has an opportunity to take advantage of it, can the hidden branch strategy of the Tang Empire also take advantage of it?
