Chapter 126 Men Conquer the World, Women Conquer Men (Three Watches)
Chapter 126 Men conquer the world, women conquer men
The Sassanid Empire, in fact a country of fighting peoples, has been at war with the surrounding nations since its founding, and the key is that it has been fighting with the Byzantine Empire, the successor of the Roman Empire, for more than four hundred years, due to geopolitical problems.
However, it is said that from the beginning of the founding of the country to the death of the country. The Sassanid Empire basically did not have a period of peace for more than twenty years, and almost every king would launch a war of aggression, or a war of passive defense. During the period of the Sassanid Empire's strength, to say that during the period of Shapur I, the third emperor of the Sassanid Empire, he dealt three extremely heavy blows to the Roman Empire. The third defeat of the Roman army near Edessa, Valerian. In more than 200 years of wars with the Roman Empire, the Sassanid Empire also won more than lost.
The historian Amian, a former Roman officer, records that "the Persians appeared in large numbers, and their cavalry commanders, the emperor's two princes, and a large number of nobles were present on the battlefield," ...... all dressed in full-body armor, covered with solid steel plates. The blades of the armor fit the joints of every limb, and the visor like a human statue was worn accurately on their heads. No arrow could penetrate them, except for the small openings in their helmets with their eyes and breathing nostrils. ”
At that time, after years of expansionary invasion, the Sassanid Empire rode heavily armed sword cavalry to attack the Roman army, and the Roman legions with infantry phalanxes as the main mode of combat were defeated, and among the 29 Roman legions standing in the Roman Empire, 19 of them suffered heavy losses.
It's just a pity that with the decline of the Sassanid Empire's national strength, this kind of heavy sword knight like an iron fortress (in fact, it was the Persians who developed from the rest of the heavy cavalry), and now the Sassanid Empire can no longer afford such heavy cavalry.
There is no way, to create such a set of armor, it takes more than six times more iron, and a horse's equipment needs to cost 400 catties of iron, but now the Sassanid Empire can only use the broken armored iron horses to repair it, and as time goes by, the remaining armored iron horses will only become less and less!
Minawar recalled the glory of their Sassanid Empire and said: "When our ancestors were sweeping through the Roman Empire, at that time, the Han people were also killed into the Central Plains by the Shiguo people in the Khorasan region of our Sassanid Empire. As a result, after more than a hundred years passed, the Han people not only did not die, but became more and more powerful, and finally the Sui State appeared, and the powerful Sui State eventually perished, but they established the Tang State on the ruins, whether it was the Sui State or the Tang State, but the people who sat on the emperor were different, in fact, they were all Han people! The Holy Master said that the Han people were never exterminated, even when we aliens were at their most powerful. You know why? ”
Jacquelyn shook her head and said, "I don't know ......"
Minawar smiled self-deprecatingly: "We Pars people call themselves a fighting nation, in fact, we don't know that the Han people are the best fighting people, no matter how powerful the enemy they encounter, no matter how much loss and defeat they suffer, but the final result must be the victory of the Han people, there is no doubt that they are the final victors!" ”
"But...... Your Royal Highness Princess, it seems that General Chen will not be easily attracted to you! Jacqueline said angrily: "He is really a fool, Your Royal Highness Princess, your beauty, under the moon, who can compare with you......"
Minawar smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, I won't give up, true warriors, rely on their swords and horses to conquer the world, and we women, just use song and dance, as well as our own bodies, to conquer men, I will definitely conquer him, let him love me and love me so much that I can't extricate myself!" ”
……
Chen Ying took off his underwear and jumped into the boiling water, enjoying the moisturizing of the hot water. Chen Ying's head still lingered in Minawar's body......
His head was disorganized, and when he finally calmed down, Chen Ying found that the hot water was already slightly cold.
Chen Ying didn't dare to let other women serve him at this time, so he hurriedly shouted outside the door: "Zhou Qing, get me some hot water!" ”
After a while, Zhou Qing carried hot water into the bathroom.
The steam was filled, and Zhou Qing pretended to be casual and said, "Dadu Hu, you said that a vassal woman, if you sleep, you will sleep...... What do you worry about so much? ”
"You don't understand!" Chen Ying pouted and said: "My Han family is a Miao descendant, how noble the bloodline is, if I have a child, I will also breed together, and if I give birth to a gray-headed and green-eyed child, I will not be able to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors." ”
Zhou Qing said thoughtfully: "That's right! ”
In the Tang Dynasty, unlike later generations, it was proud to marry a foreigner and to give birth to mixed-race children. In fact, the so-called mixed race is actually a hybrid, and some Tian shamelessly claims to be a mixed race of eight countries, which is a hybrid among hybrids......
Everyone has two sets of codes of conduct, and Chen Ying insists on the purity of his bloodline. However, he encouraged the concubines of the Hu people in the Western Regions to be the concubines of ordinary soldiers and soldiers, especially Duan Zhigan of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, and Chen Ying gave the daughters of eight tribal leaders as concubines at one time.
As for Luo Shixin, there are already five orchid concubines in the room. Like Su Dingfang and Guo Xiaoke, they are also happy, hugging left and right, and enjoying the blessings of all people.
However, Chen Ying still couldn't sleep alone.
Finally fell asleep in a daze.
The characteristics of the Western Regions are that the cold winter is infinitely prolonged, and the world is frozen for thousands of miles, and people have almost nothing to do. Chen Ying feels that people can't be idle, and once they are idle, they will become a waste. Just like Lao Cheng, if he breaks off one day, he doesn't want to write at all.
Laziness is contagious, and it gets worse and worse.
In the capital of the Western Regions of Gaoche City, Chen Ying made a quality oil press to squeeze the cotton seeds out of oil. The so-called oil press is actually two rotating shafts that protect each other, and the oil in the cotton boy is squeezed out by squeezing.
Theoretically, the oil yield of cottonseed is the same as that of soybeans, and the cottonseed cake that has been squeezed can also be used as fine material for war horses to feed war horses, and there is no worry about waste at all.
After spending more than half a day's effort, Chen Ying squeezed a full forty or fifty catties of cottonseed oil.
Looking at a piece of golden cottonseed oil, Chen Ying stopped.
At this time of lack of oil, there is no way to promote stir-frying, but stir-frying with lard, the taste is a little worse, especially if it must be eaten hot, once it cools down, it will become white greasy, making people so disgusting that they have no appetite for eating.
As Chen Ying, who has been poisoned by junk food in later generations, Chen Ying is haunted by dreams, thinking about fried chicken in later generations.
Carrying a bucket of cottonseed oil, Chen Ying poured it into the pot without thinking about it, and let the maid burn the fire.
At this time, Chen Ying took a kitchen knife, cut the pork into pieces, then coated it with starch, threw it into an oil pan and fried it in oil.
What Chen Ying made was naturally a famous dish in later generations, sweet and sour tenderloin.
It's just that Chen Ying tried to make fat lard, and he paid for it, and Chen Ying vowed not to pay for the second bite.
After the oily tenderloin cubes, and then adjust the sweet and sour sauce, Chen Ying's sweet and sour tenderloin is ready.
Looking at a large plate full of sweet and sour tenderloin, Chen Ying beckoned and asked Zhou Qing to come over and try it.
But when Zhou Qing came to the kitchen, Chen Ying changed his mind.
Zhou Qing is the commander of his personal guard, and now Guo Luo is still in the Ile River Valley, in case Zhou Qing eats a bad stomach, there will be no one to stand guard for him.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying said to Zhou Qing: "You go and call Minawar over!" ”
"I don't know what Dadu Hu commands!" At this time, Minawar came behind Chen Ying.
Chen Ying smiled faintly: "I just made it, you pay it off, is it delicious?" ”
Mina Valzi stared at the plate of dishes on the table in surprise, a plate of slices of meat wrapped in golden flour, and suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? Are these dishes weird? ”
Minawar hadn't thought about letting him try the dishes.
However, when Minawar took it, after chewing it gently, her eyes lit up, and she praised: "Crispy and delicious, sweet taste, good, good." ”
Minawar showed an intoxicated expression and said: "Fat but not greasy, rotten but not scattered, smooth and delicious, I can't imagine that such an inconspicuous piece of pork can be made so delicious, amazing, amazing!" ”
Minawar felt that her hands were not enough, and quickly took a piece of tenderloin with her chopsticks and ate it into her mouth.
Chen Ying looked at Minawar's murderous appearance, and even had some doubts about whether Minawar was a princess pretending to be a princess, who was also a princess, and Li Xiuning was a hundred times more beautiful than Minawar when she ate.
Minawar then looked at Chen Ying with a smile and said, "Is my eating look ugly?" ”
Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, not only ugly, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost. But he felt embarrassed to say it, otherwise it would be too devastating. Chen Ying thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "Maybe it's the characteristics of your Sassanid Empire!" ”
Mina Val smiled and said, "Are you Han people always so funny when you talk?" ”
"The environment is different, the people are different, and some details of life will naturally be different." Chen Ying shook his head and said.
Minawar smiled, "General Chen." You are really a knowledgeable person, and even more so, you should be the doctor of Chang'an City of Tang State, not a general in charge of killing! ”
"Thanks for the compliment!" Chen Ying said modestly: "It's just an ordinary dish......"
Minawar re-weaved her words and said, "I want to learn how to cook with you, I wonder if His Excellency the General will teach me this stupid apprentice." ”
"Haha......" Chen Ying said: "If you are willing to learn, I am naturally willing to pay it myself!" ”
