What, you said the horse belongs to the Ninth Spanish Legion? Are you kidding? Of course I, Ma Chao, had someone send it there.
What, when you said you were sending it over, why was there still the Ninth Spanish Legion? Isn’t it because you were afraid of being robbed? The Ninth Spanish Legion rides on them. Except for you, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who can buy and sell by force, no one else has this combat capability.
Ma Chao is a weirdo. Although his IQ is not very high most of the time, he can burst out with unexpected wisdom at certain times. Even if this wisdom is closer to the instinct of a beast, you have to admit that this instinct is really It can solve many problems.
"Media is really prosperous. It has developed to this extent in just a few years." Tacito looked at the people coming and going in Media Trading City. Many of them came from the east of Rome. The merchants, who are obviously very short-legged, can actually run so far.
"Yes, when I first took over, this place was almost like an empty city. However, after the trade with the Han Dynasty was opened, it quickly became prosperous. Now many people have settled here directly." Ma Chao answered casually. He said, why Ma Chao didn't understand the prosperity, and Ma Chao felt that as a legion commander, he really didn't need to understand such things.
"Hehehe, I don't know anything else. I just know that silk is a lot cheaper." Tacito said excitedly. Other things did not have much impact on Tacito, but silk, for people with a Mediterranean climate To the Romans, that was popular.
"Silk." Ma Chao thought for a while. To be honest, Ma Chao had no idea about silk clothes before. It wasn't until he became a member of the Roman Senate. After traveling around Italy, Ma Chao finally understood why the Romans liked silk so much.
In Rome, which is surrounded by the sea and is surrounded by hot and humid weather, probably only silk is comfortable to wear. In addition, silk's advantages in textiles are far more gorgeous than the current Roman clothing materials, so that the Romans After trading with the Han Dynasty, other local clothing materials have been defeated by the Han Dynasty.
This is because it is limited by the scale of production. If it could be produced on a larger scale, even barbarians in Rome would want to wear silk.
"Yes, after so many years, silk is the most suitable material for clothing I have ever seen." Taqito said with emotion, "And the tight Shu brocade, as a lining, is of great benefit in treating arrow wounds. It's a pity. We don’t have the production technology.”
Lining plate armor with cowhide and cloth is a common practice, and the Romans generally did this. But since silk became available, the Romans quickly discovered new applications for silk.
Wear the tight silk clothes inside. When shooting with a bow and arrow, it is very likely that the shot will not penetrate the innermost layer of tight silk clothes. Of course, failure to shoot does not mean that you will not be injured. On the contrary, it is very likely that the silk clothes will be taken along with it. Inject into the body.
But this is not only a disadvantage, but also an advantage. On the one hand, it stops bleeding, and on the other hand, it is very simple to remove the arrowhead when going to the battlefield. Just pull the arrowhead out with a silk coat.
Ma Chao shrugged. This usage has been around for a long time. It's just that the Han Dynasty was short of money and couldn't afford to play. But now they basically have silk linings. It is indeed very important to pull arrows and improve the survival rate, and dense Exquisite silk and satin was not a problem at all for the Han Dynasty.
"We somewhat want to talk to the Han Dynasty about the spread of silk technology." Taqito scratched his head and said, "But the financial officer said that this matter is very difficult. I estimate that it will probably not be possible."
Ma Chao smacked his lips twice. Even a mentally retarded person like him knew that this matter would definitely not be discussed. This was a golden chicken that laid golden eggs in the true sense. Killing the chicken to obtain the eggs was impossible in Yuan Feng's time. .
"Sure enough, you think it's impossible." Taqito glanced at Ma Chao's expression and knew what Ma Chao was thinking. He actually felt the same way, but he just happened to bring someone to an armed parade and just stopped by to talk. It could make a lot of money. If you don't translate it, it's just a waste of saliva.
Tacito didn't stay with Ma Chao for long. He just drank a few glasses of wine with Ma Chao and stayed for one night. Then he took his ninth Spain to start an armed march. At this time, the entire Central Asian family had already fallen into In chaos.
It’s not because of Tachito’s armed parade. Although the war horse under Tachito’s crotch is really cool, for the major families, there is no point in being cool with things that don’t belong to them, which makes the major families fall into Among the chaos and wailing was the Changsha Kou family.
Compared to Rome, a powerful country that has existed since their family was founded and still stands proudly on top of the world today, the major families that still respect the strong are drooling with envy, but they are determined in their hearts to ask extravagantly for themselves. He can also grow up to be like Rome.
Why do you say it's impossible to grow like Rome? Seeing how powerful the Yuan family is in the north, since the Yuan family can grow like that, it is also possible for them.
The existence of the Yuan family is both a target and a shot in the arm for the major aristocratic families. Although all the families feel that the existence of the Yuan family makes them uncomfortable, the way the Yuan family is alive and kicking in the hands of Rome every day is also... It makes them feel that living like that is really not a waste of time.
Therefore, all the ambitious aristocratic families did not say anything, but their people were also working hard to accumulate combat power, and then secretly observed the map, looking for comrades, and seeking the right direction of development.
This is also why the families of King Cui Yang have become stronger one by one. Compared with when they were in the Central Plains, these families are now even more powerful than a small prince, even though due to the problem of population transformation, their continuous combat effectiveness is not as good as The small princes in the Central Plains are already much better than when they were in the Central Plains court.
This kind of step by step, steady progress, even though it is sweating and crying, and the appearance is always so embarrassing, but looking back at the past, looking at the foundation that my family has built little by little, I naturally feel that A sense of accomplishment.
"Sooner or later, with the efforts of us people, our family will reach the level of prosperity of the Yuan family. Our future lies in our efforts!" The major aristocratic families look back on the past and encourage themselves like this. After all, they are indeed He is getting stronger, and he is getting stronger continuously and effectively. Even if this process is embarrassing, it will make people addicted.
But this was before, after the Changsha Kou family's information was copied by Sima Fu and sent over, all the major families fell silent.
Changsha Kou family, which one is this? Thinking carefully about the memories, those of the older generation in the family can still barely remember that this family that has withdrawn from the circle was once a very powerful family, but it has withdrawn from the circle and went to the south for hot spring treatment.
But why did this family suddenly go against the grain? We agreed that everyone should work hard together, fight together, forge ahead together, and then catch up with the Yuan family, but in the end, you turned your head and destroyed the next door directly, and then became the king from the ground. Hey, at least tell me some basic rules. This kind of thing is really Is it possible for humans to do it? Why do I feel so unscientific?
In short, the secret letter copied by Sima Fu gave a very heavy blow to the Central Asian family. The whole article is like saying that after several years of hard work, it is really not as good as the other party killing a country with one punch and then becoming a settled household. There is a gap in growth speed. It's too big. In the time it took you to think about it, the other party had already moved from an unknown family to being above your heads.
This kind of crazy behavior has made the struggling families in Central Asia somewhat unbalanced. How can they still play like this? Is there such an operation? Could it be that the correct way to open a military aristocracy is Kou's? What we followed before was not the orthodox military aristocracy route?
In short, after receiving the news forwarded by the Sima family, all the major families seemed to have lost their sense. After all, the Kou family's approach was too unscientific and unreasonable. However, this unscientific and unreasonable approach was also full of Iron blood and wisdom.
Needless to say, the so-called iron-blooded, the 200,000 people who overthrown the Chola Dynasty are enough to be called iron-blooded in any case, and wisdom, if you win, it is wisdom. As long as you win, then all the unreasonable things before All the places can be simply summarized as follows after my analysis...
As for how I analyzed it, why is this behavior so anti-intellectual? In fact, it is time to learn about Sun Tzu's Art of War. The so-called surprise and attack are unprepared. As for saying that you don't understand, there is nothing you can do about it. If you understand it, the other side will also be able to understand it.
This kind of unexplainable explanation is often given after a victory, especially when the Sima family forwarded the detailed battle report of the Kou family to the major families. Just now, the battle report of mobile operations and other damn methods fell into silence. Damn it, can you win this?
However, the reality is so unreasonable. The Kou family not only won, but also won a great victory. The winner has the right to do whatever they want. This is the reality. Therefore, the major families can only use the battle reports to think, discuss and learn, and give the old Kou a chance to succeed. It has an image of making decisions and then acting.
How pitiful God is, Lao Kou was really angry at the time when his wife was proposed to by Vesuthiva I. Moreover, his initial goal was not to make himself the commander of the army, but to make his son achieve success. If you really want to say it, this is already It was a wrong way of dispatching troops.
However, Lao Kou couldn't stand it anymore, and he succeeded in going against the will of the gods, and then he sat in Thanjavur City. As for the logic behind it, there was definitely no logic in it at the time of the fight.
But of course it happened later. Lao Kou made detailed corrections in the battle report afterwards. First of all, it can't be said that he started the army in anger because his mother was teased.
At this time, you need to polish it up and say that you saw Zhu Luo's flaw. As for what flaw he said, Zhu Luo is already lying down now, so you can make it up as you like.
