Sweep the World

Chapter 663: Say "hello" when you meet?

Youdao is an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood. It is not only about the tragic and vigorousness of encountering an invasion, but also the blood that must be shed when opening up.

   There is a time when there is generosity and tragedy of any ethnic group. It is when a nation encounters an invasion, soldiers and people rise up to resist. In order to prevent the loss of the land that their ancestors have survived for generations, they fight with the enemy one after another.

  The development of territories has also been carried out by every nation. Some nations have been extremely difficult to develop. Not only do they have to fight the enemy, but also fight with nature. Almost every inch of land development is watered with blood.

   Throughout the long river of history, there are countless wars for survival. Under the cruel competition, I don’t know how many peoples have been submerged by the torrent of the long river of history, and they have disappeared in a true sense and become the nourishment for the growth of other peoples.

   If you don't want to disappear in the fierce competition, you must always remain bloody. Not only do you dare to work hard when you encounter an invasion, but also show your fangs and dare to grab the land you can see.

   Every nation has its pioneering and conservative periods. The nation in the pioneering period is the most offensive. They will invade any enemy they can see. It is extremely likely that they will continue to win but lose all at once. That is because the nation has not effectively digested the invaded resources.

The nation (country) that stopped pioneering and entered the conservative period is actually entering a period of weakness. Usually at this time, they will be constantly invaded by neighboring aliens. If they fail to rise up and enter the pioneering period again, in fact the nation (country) will The countdown to extinction has entered.

"We are carrying out the invasion in a planned way, and we don't want to do it overnight." Fu Wei will board the ship and leave Hong Kong tomorrow, and need to communicate closely with Si Hongzhuang: "The importance of this stronghold is not necessary. Please also Zijun. Get on the right track as soon as possible."

   Si Hongzhuang's response was solemn and noble.

  The Han Kingdom will establish a lot of strongholds on Asanyo's side, with Si Hongzhuang's stronghold as the main base, and continue to expand to the surrounding area, and then establish many sub-bases.

   The strongholds on the invasion route have many functions. One of the main functions is to provide logistical support for the invading troops. Naturally, the use of as a transit point does not need to be discussed. It is also the repair and maintenance base of the fleet, and it is also the port of call. Another function is to serve as a station for troops, so that troops coming from a long distance can catch their breath.

   "In half a month, the second batch of fleets will depart from Panyu, and it should arrive here in about two months." Fu Wei smiled and reminded: "Zijun's current urgent problem is to build a lot of storage warehouses."

   It took two months from Panyu to the immediate base of Dugupta. It was under the premise of a tailwind. If it is headwind, the time would be longer. It would not be an exaggeration to take six or seven months to arrive. And that is using oars, not relying on wind.

   Fuwei left the port this time to explore the periphery of this bay, at least to get a rough idea of ​​the sea conditions. Waiting for the second fleet to come, it is time for them to return to the base to replenish fresh water and other supplies, especially for all kinds of supplies that can provide vitamins.

Thanks to the natural deep-water port at this stronghold, ships do not need to stop far away from the coastline, which is an excellent convenience for loading and unloading cargo, and also indicates that Si Hongzhuang should put the construction of the port in the first place. It is unacceptable for a military port to find it difficult to find a berth unless the fleet comes over.

   "I read the logbook." Si Hongzhuang said about the records of the bases on the movement of ships. Those are the results of Zhang Li's previous results: "Unidentified ships have been discovered many times in the nearby waters."

   "Huh?!" Fu Wei didn't have the right to watch the log of the stronghold, so he asked: "What's the situation?"

"The sudden increase in the number of ships of the big man in this sea area should have attracted the attention of neighboring countries." Si Hongzhuang is really unfamiliar with HNA, but it does not mean that he can't guess something: "Besides, we are on the coast. I can’t cover my movements."

  The location they chose was on the southwest coast of the country. Although this place is not the territory of the country, who can guarantee that no savages will ask for help from the country in the face of invasion?

   In this area, the Gupta Dynasty is the most powerful. A powerful country will definitely radiate its influence to neighboring countries. When a weak country encounters an invasion by a powerful country from afar, it does not seem to be incomprehensible to ask for help from a regional power.

   "For the time being, no ships other than ours have approached for observation." Si Hongzhuang patted the document and said in a certain tone: "But that is definitely something that will happen. Can the navy have a countermeasure?"

  The navy of Han has not been built for many years. Compared with some nations and countries that have been playing offshore for a long time, the navy of Han is only in the infant stage, and because there is no opponent at sea, it can be said that it is extremely lacking in relevant experience.

  The so-called lack of experience is that none of the command system, including the central hub, has a clear understanding of what is going on in naval warfare, and how to operate when entering the waters of another country's sphere of influence.

   Fuwei blinked his eyes and said how to deal with it: "When I saw it, did he capture one ship, or sink one?"

It's so simple and rude, it's a bit of a war of later generations, but it also shows that the Han who just went sailing have sufficient confidence in their own power, that is, they will have many more enemies for no reason, but they really don't care at all. .

   The word that came out of Si Hongzhuang's mind was "Sure enough," and he faced Fu Wei with a speechless expression.

   "What's wrong?" Fu Wei also knew that the order he accepted was very domineering, but he didn't hesitate: "The big man has the ability to destroy any enemy, whether it is on land or at sea!"

   "Although it can kill the grass and startle the snake, it seems that there is no other better way." Si Hongzhuang said somewhat helplessly: "Destroying ships can have the effect of the fog of war, and it is indeed better than they can detect the real situation."

   In fact, there are definitely not many countries that will enter this sea area. At present, they are the ships of the Gupta Dynasty. However, this sea area did not have the sea trade route that the Gupta dynasty paid too much attention to. The most important thing for the Gupta dynasty was the route to Egypt.

  The main maritime trade objects of the Gupta Dynasty were the Greeks and Egyptians under the territories of the Eastern Romans, and the Sassanid Dynasty, which had land access to it, had a small share of trade.

   What is the diplomatic relationship between the Gupta dynasty and the Sassanid dynasty? There is no official information on the Han country, but it can be judged from the trade share that even if the two sides are not incompatible with fire and water, the relationship is definitely not much better.

  Country-to-country trade share will provide a lot of information. Even if there is competition between the two sides, no one can do anything about it. Everyone has a place to rely on each other, and trade share will account for a large share of the two countries’ imports and exports. In this case, interdependent countries will not easily turn competition into war. (Similar to Heavenly Dynasty and American Emperor)

  In ancient times, country-to-country trade was not as complicated as in modern times. Since the Gupta dynasty's trade share with East Rome was exaggerated, and the Sassanid dynasty's trade share was pitifully low, we can infer the relevant geopolitical relationship.

There may be trade routes between the Gupta Dynasty and the Central Plains Dynasty, but it is certainly lower than the trade with the Sassanid Dynasty. The log of the stronghold in Si Hongzhuang’s hands talked about the presence of unknown ships in this sea area. It is most likely that the sea area Han The increasing number of ships in the country attracted the attention of the Gupta dynasty. It would not be the discovery that there were Han army strongholds here, nor was it because the ships of the Gupta dynasty went to the Strait of Malacca without returning.

After all, the current round-trip navigation is not so fast, but it is basically calculated in years for the crossing of tens of thousands of miles. It has only been nearly half a year for the Han army to master Malacca. The Gupta dynasty did not notice the signs of the ships heading east. At least until next year.

   As of now, the monsoon has not been discovered by many people, and ships sailing at sea basically rely on the power of human propellers. Soldiers may only account for 30% of the manning of a ship, but corresponding sailors account for 70%.

  Many countries have one thing in common in the manning of ships. They are divided into soldiers, sailors, and slaves. Warriors are naturally the force used to fight. In addition to operating ships, sailors will also participate in fighting when necessary. The existence of slaves is used as labor, that is, rowing the oars of the boat to provide power for the movement of the boat.

   With the forward base, Fu Wei's fleet can unload more materials, only to keep the needs of this voyage, so that the ship can run faster with less load. After they left the port, they used three ships as a formation to explore according to the pre-divided area.

  The sea area of ​​Asanyang is about the same size as the South 1 Sea. The difference is that Asanyang does not have as many islands as the South 1 Sea. It is bound to be difficult to find islands in exploration. What you can do is to record the basic sea conditions of the sea.

"According to the previous exploration intelligence, there is an island chain in the 32nd area of ​​A." Liang Min is the flagship first officer. The A and what he said is a number on the navy grid: "In addition, there are three surrounding areas. There is no more discovery in a hundred miles."

   The so-called grid map is very simple, it is a modern tactical map. The terrain of a certain area is divided into grids. The horizontal line has a prefix code, and the vertical line also has a prefix code. The number of the first grid is naturally one. Use the grid number to confirm the position. Those who can play strategy games are no strangers to this tactical map, which is used to inform friends where the enemy is. In fact, the emergence of this kind of tactical map was originally used by artillery to make it easier to cover artillery.

   The Han Chinese Navy uses a grid graph instead of a longitude and latitude graph. That's not the Central Plains dynasty. No one has understood the longitude and latitude until now!

  Whether it is called latitude and longitude, latitude and longitude, or meridian, in fact, the East and the West have been doing related research in BC.

   The original meridian was created by the East, with the capital of the country as the center of the world, and then the location of the imperial palace to determine the line. This is the origin of the central dynasty.

   The first similar theories appeared in the West during the Alexander period, earlier than the related theories in the Central Plains dynasty. They also made relevant judgments based on sunshine.

   In fact, no matter whether it is East or West, the preliminary theories of both have been proved to be wrong later. It is after the launch of the satellite that there are mature latitude and longitude lines.

The base of the Pingman Captain's Headquarters was in Yangon in later generations, not close to the Gupta dynasty in the Asan site. Since the ship going to the Gupta dynasty had not returned yet, Fu Wei couldn’t even judge the distance between the two. .

   Sailing at sea is a very boring thing, but boring means that there is no situation, and it is a good thing to have no situation.

   A boring voyage will make time pass very slowly. Every day and night is a long suffering, but Fu Wei would rather this suffering last longer than hitting the storm in Shanghai.

  Han country called this sea area Assanyo, which is a casual name of Liu Yan. If no one makes corrections, Assanyo will really become the official name. In fact, this ocean has many names. Asan is naturally called the Indian Ocean, but Westerners call it the Eritrean Sea.

   Later generations of the United Nations recognized that this sea area was called the Indian Ocean when it formulated the map. That is because ancient India has really been in this sea area, and it has belonged to India's sphere of influence for thousands of years.

   can be crossed by a certain force for thousands of years, even if there is a fault in civilization, as long as it does not stop going to sea, even if some data is missing, it will be quickly filled.

"We don't know what's going on there." Kapil Malik is of course Asan, or a superior Kshatriya, but a little nobleman~lightnovelpub.net~ He was ordered to figure out what's new in the southeast waters. The situation, no reports of missing ships have been received for the time being.

There is not much to say about the caste of Asan. The Sudra class in any dynasty of Asan will not be recorded in the official household registration. Only the class above Sudra is considered as a national. Therefore, the demographic statistics of each dynasty of Asan In fact, they are all incomplete.

  In Asan’s dynasty, only the Vaisha class was qualified to do business. They were responsible for the flow of national resources, and of course they were also responsible for foreign trade.

"Something strange happened recently." Dejean Kumar is also a Kshatriya class. He looked at the sea outside and said: "I haven't seen a ship from the east in the past few years, but within half a year there have been as many as The 13-share Eastern merchant came from the sea."

The    Gupta dynasty was established in 320 AD, and it is now 348 AD. They were established on the ruins of the Guishuang Empire, and the Guishuang Empire has not yet been destroyed. There is also a Jidoruo dynasty lingering in the later Afghan region, but this Jiduoro dynasty claims to be not the Dayue clan. Xiaoyue's people.

The Gupta dynasty, which was established for 28 years, has been at war with neighboring countries in the past few years. Only in recent years has it been relatively peaceful to engage in internal affairs. They inherited most of the Guishuang Empire’s navy, and their use of the sea is beginning to reach its peak. Mainly to carry out maritime trade.

   There was a sudden shout outside, as if the watchman had spotted the ship.

   "Apart from us, who else is in this sea?" Kapil Malik shook his head when he saw his deputy, and exclaimed, "It seems that we did not run in vain again."
