Chapter 2702 Complex System
India in this era cannot be said to be unified. Just like India before the East India Company, it was in a state of pan-ruling. They were led by a complete Brahman doctrine, but they were divided into many countries.
However, what is more reliable than most of the time after that is that the strength of Kushan during this period, even the small countries in the pan-ruling regions in the south, could not be defeated, so there is no mistake in barely calling it a unified state.
It’s not that Kushan does not have the ability to unify these places, nor is it that Kushan will be dragged to death because of no output if it occupys this place.
In fact, what I really want to say can only be said that the Brahmins were causing trouble. In addition, the Kushan internal disputes were serious, and the previous generations of emperors were not courageous. They were half compromising, and half used Brahmins to whitewash the peace, and just used the east of Brahmins as a wasteland and allowed those ancient Indian countries to be allowed to do so.
Of course, this place is basically equivalent to the Brahmin's private land, the state system, and tax management are carried out by the Brahmins. Although the northern nobles were particularly unhappy about this, they were indeed far behind. In addition, the Kushan elite area, one-third of the output was taken away by them without caring about anything. Overall, it was still harmonious.
Having said that this is also the reason why Kushan in the north is poor and bad, but he can still survive well. It is also an important reason why Kushan in the north and south can still maintain it in general.
This is also an important reason why the northern aristocracy, which was based on Khwarezm and Khorasan region, began to angrily hammer the nobles in peace, and was easily pushed by Ardashir, and then beat Kushan all the way.
Because the northern Kushan area is basically deserts, Gobi and mountains, poor mountains and rivers, and mainly plateaus. The environment is so harsh that it is comparable to Liangzhou. The so-called poor mountains and rivers produce unruly people, and the same is true for Kushan.
Of course, this harsh environment makes it easier to produce strong soldiers. Before the North Kushan split, the main thing he did every year was to focus on the output of the southern essence area. No matter what food, cloth, armor and weapons, money, jerky, everything would be fine. Anyway, take away one-third of it.
After taking these things away, everyone in the North Kushan was very smart, and then they gave the people below a rush. This year has passed. I don’t know whether Yan Gaozhen did it on purpose or what happened back then. The transfer of the southern part was directly in physical goods, and the money was not much.
This led to the fact that the military nobles in the north were greedy but they could not be greedy. Gold, gems, money, etc. could be taken away, but armor, weapons, cloth, and food were really meaningless unless they were resold. Food was never a problem in Kushan.
As a result, most of the nobles in the northern Kushan were paid in money and treasures. The food was not worthwhile. The cloth was distributed depending on the situation. No one dared to move the armor and weapons like the Han Dynasty, so they distributed them. However, after the distributing, they felt heartbroken. The military nobles in the northern Kushan had nothing to do to deal with their soldiers.
In addition, there is really nothing to do in the north. Most places can’t even eat soil, but if you are a soldier, you can only eat enough. So in fact, adult men in northern Kushan are basically soldiers. This is why the south and the north have been rubbed so many times, and basically they can’t beat the north.
In fact, when Fu Ward and others angrily criticized Li Jue, the fight was like that, and the army basically did not flee, it was enough to show the quality of these soldiers in the north.
The Kushans in history are not unbearable. On the contrary, from the performance of the three nobles in the eastern part of Anxi to the group of Kushan separatists in the Khwarezm at the beginning, the three nobles who represent one-third of the strength of Anxi were pressed and knew that the northern part of the Kushans were actually very capable of fighting.
Later, Ardashir was hung up, and it can only be said that these people had no money and no food. When they had not split before, they had no need to do anything. Apart from calling out the evil men from the poor mountains and rivers in the north to train them to become professional soldiers, the rest of their time was to scold Brahmins in the court for mentally retarded traitors, and the other party also needed to allocate one-third of the output of the southern essence of Kushan to the north.
Although we have to take action for this output every year, at least hundreds of people were killed or injured, and at most one or two legions were destroyed, the northern part successfully obtained this money every year. After all, this is an ancestral system, and even the Kushan emperors agreed with it.
It is precisely because of these outputs that the northern part of Kushan will not worry about logistics supply, the whole people will be soldiers, and the southern part of Kushan will be angrily beaten up every year, and there will be basically no time to fail.
However, the short-lived northern Kushan nobles split first and then rested in peace. At that time, they had the momentum of annexation of peace, but they were unable to succeed.
When there were southern money bags in the past, the northern military aristocrats did not pay attention to these things at all. Food was a problem for Kushan, which owned the essence of the Ganges and the Indus River, the world's largest fertile land? It was not at all.
Unfortunately, after the split, these problems that were not problems were raised again. Although the northern nobles turned back, the emperor named Bodhi had changed their minds at that time. They did not know that only the north had taken the money, food and supplies from the south. The Kushans were the first-class empire. As a result, they were a little late and were beaten to death by Ardashire.
The north and south Kushan are united, even if there is conflict, they are first-class empires. Even if the south gives supplies to the north, so that the north, a military camp covering more than three million square kilometers can be operated, Kushan has the combat power of a first-class empire.
Because the soldiers in northern Kushan are even more clear than those in the Han Dynasty, they do not need to be cultivated, and there is no place to cultivate there, you only need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!
Having said that, this is also the hidden danger of Kushan. If the north does not have to produce, it will take everything from the southern essence area and beat the south. No one can stand it.
Of course, under this situation, if an outsider beats the places west of Brahmins that belong to the private areas of Brahmins, the northern nobles might even close the door and applaud.
But if we pass the Brahmadhis line, there will be turmoil in the entire Kushan Mountains, and even the northern nobles will directly start the indiscriminate mode, because to the west of this city, one-third of all output is from their north, and to the east of this city, it has nothing to do with them.
What's more, if you hit there, the Brahmins will not be able to whitewash them. At that time, no matter what the Brahmins say, it will be useless. The northern nobles may even come to stop them, and even if they fight with the people who block them, they will come to stop them themselves.
In this case, defending Karona Suvasna to the death is not only ineffective, but also in the past. If Durga and his subordinates do not want to be finished, they will retreat desperately and set up a defense line before Bharatus, because if it falls there, the northern nobles are not afraid of a great purge, and Guo Jia firmly believes that the other party will not commit suicide.
Of course, the main point is that there is no point in dying. As a pan-ruling area, like the grasslands north of the Han Dynasty, there are no roads everywhere and roads everywhere. With enough supplies, there is no such thing as a person cutting off the back road.
As for the only problem of food cuts, to be honest, as far as the warehouses of these cities in Kushan are rich, according to Guo Jia's estimates, plundering a city can solve the problem.
"In this case, it's not impossible, it's just here in Sammo Zha City..." Wang Lei couldn't help but look at Chen Chi who seemed to be fine.
"Don't worry, it's too late for him to withdraw." Guo Jia said with a smile, "Otherwise, I wouldn't let Gongxi stay with Sammo Khazha. Although the straight-line distance between the two sides is only 300 miles, they have no time when they retreat, so it is very likely that they will leave a small group of troops to harass them. After all, this distance is purely disgusting without cavalry."
When Wang Lei and Huang Quan heard this, they nodded silently, but in the end they didn't say much. Indeed, although the Han army left, they must have left a suspicion. If Durga had too many troops left, they would probably only be used to add military achievements to the Han army, and their own troops would be reduced.
The few left behind are of no value. The final choice is probably to get some small troops and destroy the area of Sammo Zha City, which is a disgusting choice for the Han army.
"Safe, actually this is just a matter of thinking. After all, we are cheating the city, and there will definitely be a mistake. Even if the other party is taking a detour, it is slower than us, and it can still move around us. Kushan cannot make us cheat the city all the way." Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "If this kind of thing happens, it can only be said that fate is in the Han Dynasty."
Xu Shu and others turned their heads speechlessly when they heard this. Indeed, in this case, Durga retreat was the best choice for stop loss, rather than retreat. Once the Han army lucky enough to attack the essence of Kushan, Durga could not escape death besides treason.
"Then let it go, I'll notify Lidas now." After hearing Guo Jia's summary, Guan Yu also understood that the overall situation was basically doomed, so he spoke.
"How powerful~" Lidas silently stopped visualizing. The sense of power conveyed by Guan Yu's majestic back made him, the believer feel the irresistible power, "God of Galan, your believer, are willing to give you everything."
"Lidas." Just as Lidas was chanting God Galan, he suddenly heard the summons of God Galan. Lidas was prostrated on the spot and humbly saluted, and then replied respectfully, "God, your humble believer, are on standby at any time."
"I'll give you a task." Guan Yu's cold voice passed to Lidas' mind. It was a loss to Lidas as big as a signal source. Otherwise, Guan Yu wouldn't be able to accurately transmit the message to Lidas if he didn't leave the main account.
"Abide by the oracle." Lidas replied humbly.
