Don't look at the fact that Kushan has been beaten so badly by the Han Dynasty, but even so, Kushan is still one of the top three hegemons in the world. It is indeed beyond his power to defeat Rome and the Han Dynasty, but he has no organizational skills.
African ferocious beasts are just like mowing grass.
If this were true, the Han Dynasty would really be unable to do anything, but it seemed to be nothing. Kushan ran away, Di stayed, and the Han Dynasty also won.
After thinking of this, Chen Xi instantly didn't care. Anyway, the purpose of the Han Dynasty was not to directly hammer Kushan to death. To be precise, killing Kushan was not the goal of the Han Dynasty, but the Ganges and Indus river basins in Nangui.
This was the purpose of the Han Dynasty to attack Guishang.
Therefore, as long as Kushan ran away, the Han Dynasty would win the final victory. As for whether this victory was achieved by killing Kushan or by running away, there was actually no difference.
As for the Kushans going to Africa or something like that, to be honest, at that level, it would be very troublesome for the Han Dynasty to fight against others, but it is not easy for the Kushans to fight against the Han Dynasties. This can be regarded as a result of a complete victory. Besides, this is not
It's just a guess.
"It sounds like if this really happens, Kushan will be in trouble." Guan Yu obviously had a headache. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the war against Kushan. Guan Yu still had a very thorough understanding of Kushan's strength. This country seemed to be relatively weak.
, but really speaking of combat effectiveness, it actually still has it.
It is even an exaggeration to say that Kushan's steel production was greater than that of Rome. The Romans were a little crazy during this period. They brought iron ore from Egypt to the mainland for smelting. However, because the iron ore in Egypt was larger than that in the Central Plains,
The iron ore in Rome was even worse, and the smelting technology of Rome itself was not as good as that of the Han Dynasty, so the steel output was average.
This is also the reason why Pompianus gathered the Celtics from behind. After all, no matter whether you are happy or unhappy, you have to admit that Celtic’s casting and smelting technology is still the strongest in Europe, and it has evolved from the early crucible method.
, which is close to the meaning of steel frying in the Han Dynasty.
It is precisely because of the addition of the Celts that Rome's steel production has soared rapidly. Coupled with the open-pit high-quality iron ore origin brought by the Celts, Rome's current steel production is close to 10,000 tons, and
Kushan is a bit miserable now, but it is still at the level of 10,000 tons.
To be honest, the annual output of 10,000 tons in the cold weapon era was actually very terrifying, which almost meant that it could easily arm 500,000 armored soldiers. Kushan basically relied on the legacy of the Brahmins to easily reach this level.
This is also the reason why Guan Yu felt that Kushan still had a strong fighting capacity after learning the detailed data. If it were not for the organizational power of Kushan garbage, he would have given Rahul and his group hundreds of thousands of steel output.
Even if Guan Yu wanted to gnaw on a soldier, it would be very difficult for him to gnaw.
You must know that under the Brahmin system in the early days, some of the Kushan soldiers were not qualified to wear armor. It was not that they did not have armor, but they were not qualified. If you are not a Kshatriya, why should you wear armor? Just use a cloth armor to top it off.
, coupled with the chaotic management here, the supplies in the warehouse are obviously sufficient, but they cannot be distributed to the soldiers.
This resulted in Kushan's data, which was quite a headache for Guan Yu after reading it, not being used at all. But now that Vesudeva I has crushed the Brahmins, as long as Kushan's data on paper can be used, it will be
A good man.
"Isn't that a joke? Kushan's paper strength has always been quite strong, and the country's hematopoietic ability is outrageous." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "However, the route chosen by Vesuthiva I is fine, but all the route changes
It will cause chaos, and in the next few years, steel production under the Kushan system will decline a lot."
This time, it is not because of management and system problems that the company cannot reach its upper limit, but because of a very real problem, system changes, which caused Kushan's upper limit to drop rapidly to a certain level. To put it simply, in the short term,
Kushan's steel output can no longer exceed 10,000.
Although Brahmins are rubbish, under the management of Brahmins, the caste system constrains each caste very well. Vaisyas in the natural craftsman industry operate according to regulations day after day, year after year under the Brahmin system.
.
These people all know what to produce and what to do, just like the old Soviet Union. Even if the system is indeed a bit cheating, even if it runs to the end, the Soviet Union can actually continue to feed all the people in their country.
But after the system is reformed overnight, even if there is no external invasion and the change can be carried out smoothly, it is impossible to have enough manpower to penetrate the system's tentacles into all aspects. Naturally, various chaos will occur, which will lead to a decrease in productivity.
Kushan is currently experiencing the same situation. The direction is correct. The advantages brought by the merger of political power and religious power were very obvious during the feudal monarchy period.
Even the collapse of Byzantium did not actually collapse due to the impact of XX unity. To be precise, it was because there was a new XX unity force next door that defeated them, and because they were heretics, they could not be defeated by their own side.
, so it’s finished.
Theoretically speaking, although this system is bad, it was at the forefront of world history at least before the fifteenth century. However, as long as it is a system, when it changes, it will cause internal shocks, and these shocks will inevitably
Loss of one's own strength.
Even if the new system bursts out with new vitality in the future and can surpass the previous limits, it will take time to verify. As for the short term, unless we pursue reform instead of revolution.
Chen Xi is a reformist who tinkers with things, but the repairs seem to be okay anyway.
"But even if the steel output is nearly 10,000 tons, it will not be too weak as long as it is used." Guan Yu shook his head, thinking of hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, he had a headache.
"If Sima hadn't made a decisive decision and stabbed the Brahmin to death, it wouldn't have been nearly 10,000 tons. In the situation at that time, the Brahmin would have most likely defected. Even if XX unification was not adopted, the political power would overwhelm the religious power, not before.
A stalemate." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
Although the people of the Sima family caused more harm, they were really very discerning, because at that time, if they had not stabbed the Brahmin to death, even if Vesuthiva I did not react in the early stage, sooner or later Vesudeva I would have surrendered.
Brahmins make deals.
If the deal involves overthrowing the Brahmins, it will definitely not succeed. The Brahmins will definitely fight with the Brahmins, but a deal of this level is impossible to happen while Zhu Helai is still alive.
Judging from the contents of Sima Zhang's suicide note before his death, Sima Zhang concluded that after Vesudeva I recovered, he would most likely follow Zhu He's instructions and ask the Brahmins to trade Vaishyas representing handicrafts and craftsmen to him.
This transaction will definitely be successful. Brahmins will have absolutely no pressure to sell the garbage caste when they don't have many choices. This is something that has happened countless times in history.
But the Vaishya caste in this era represents almost a high degree of division of labor among craftsmen, handicrafts, and complete upstream and downstream collaboration.
Even though Sima Zhang doesn't understand much about this, Sima Zhang is not blind. He is almost the biological father of the Shulak family. He often wants to make something by himself, and the Shulak family will quickly do it. Vaishya's
Fine division of labor is enough to support a lot of things.
It can be said that the founders of the Brahmins left a hand of Tianhu cards to their descendants. As a result, the Brahmin people had to break it up and play it. But even if the cards are not directly played now, the foundation is still there. If someone changes to a stronger person,
If you gather them together, it will be another good deck of cards.
This is also the reason why Sima Zhang made a decisive decision and risked his life to kill the Brahmin, because if the Brahmin was not stabbed to death by himself, there was a high probability that Vesudeva I would take over the complete craftsman system.
The Brahmans were unable to turn this system around because they each played their own roles. But if they were all concentrated in the hands of Vesudeva I, then even if they could not perform 200%, or they could perform 90%, there would be big problems.
very.
This is also the reason why Sima Zhang seized the opportunity and took the Brahmin away directly. If he didn't take away the Brahmin, when Vesudeva I completely overwhelmed the Brahmin and was qualified to pick and choose the Brahmin's resources, something big would really happen.
"The Sima family probably forcibly cut the upper limit of Kuishang by 50%. It is true that Kushan will become stronger and stronger in the past five or six years, but because of management and organization, their steel output cannot be increased to
Twenty thousand tons." Chen Xi said with a smile, "So it is true that it is difficult to deal with, but this is much better than the situation we may have faced before."
The output of 20,000 tons of steel means that in addition to arming all the main soldiers, Kushan can also invest more steel in intensive farming and fighting a protracted war. Although Kushan is in a sorry state now, as long as the front line can withstand it, the rear
Grain production has kept up, and Kushan's overall strength is not weak.
"I think we should consider the issue of large-scale migration of Kushans that I mentioned." Gan Ning said again, "Although Zhou Gongjin said he was so powerful that he almost took off, but in fact, if you think about it, you know that the Indian Ocean is so big, and
It’s not Malacca. Do we have the Indian Ocean route map? At most we can suppress Kushan, but it is impossible to block Kushan.”
Chen Xi nodded when he heard this, it was indeed the case, but so what, "If Kushan runs away, we will win. We are not here to destroy the Kushan regime, we are just for the Kushan territory. They are
Staying and moving will save you some trouble."
"I mean what if they counterattack? The mountains are high over there and the emperor is far away, beyond the reach of the whip." Gan Ning scratched his head, "And if a generation of people regroups, it can really develop."
"The Da Yueshi have already run away from the Xiongnu once. They ran away last time and never came back. This time, run away and leave as many people as possible." Chen Xi said nonchalantly and ran away!
