Chapter 816: An Egyptian's Journey

For a long time, the Chinese ethnic group was indeed full of all kinds of pride, and the continuous pioneering achievements of the ancestors also gave the Chinese ethnic group the qualifications for arrogance.

The arrogance of a group does not come out of nowhere, what is needed is impressive cultural and military achievements.

The culture of the Chinese civilization has always been the leader in the Eastern world, and when other ethnic groups were still drinking blood and living in the Stone Age, the Chinese ethnic group already had a national form and maintained an absolute lead in various developments.

In the military history of Chinese civilization, it continued to expand from the source of the Yellow River, and with the expansion it continued to increase the area of the land under its feet, and finally reached the point of becoming the main ethnic group on the vast land, which was the achievement of defeating one enemy after another, and the spiritual sublimation after annexing one ethnic group after another.

I don't know when arrogance became a bad word, but arrogance was not a derogatory term at the beginning, arrogance is more of a manifestation of honor and glory, after all, if you want to be arrogant, you must have enough capital.

Maureus? Yadea's Egypt has also shown arrogance when dealing with different ethnic groups, so she understands the deep reason for the arrogance of a group. Since she was taken captive and embarked on a journey to the East, she has seen and experienced more things and things than anyone can imagine.

Egypt was gradually sinking because Egypt was weakened by the blow of the Seleucid Empire, so much so that many people thought that the Seleucid Empire in the East was the most powerful country.

To be precise, the Seleucid Empire was indeed a powerful state, and the Seleucid Empire fought five major battles with Egypt, mainly in Syria, because it was about fighting for control of the Mediterranean Sea in the Syrian region. In these five major battles, the Seleucid Empire and Egypt won and lost each other, but in general, the Seleucid Empire had a greater advantage.

Because of the constant defeat by the Seleucid Empire, the Egyptians took it for granted that the Seleucid Empire was a powerful country. The Seleucid Empire was not only at war with Egypt, but the Seleucid Empire was often at war with some countries in the Mediterranean, such as the Macedonians (i.e., the Greek city-state alliance), the Romans, the Nabataeans, and the Pergamnes.

Maureus? Captured by the Seleucid Empire, Yadi spent time in Babylonia, the northern province of the Seleucid Empire, and was fully aware of the strength of the Seleucid state, but in some ways also recognized that the Seleucid Empire was full of crises under its surface.

The Seleucid Empire had offended too many countries by expanding and waging wars everywhere, Egypt had no possibility of peaceful coexistence with the Seleucid Empire because of the seizure of its eastern frontiers, and the Greek city-states saw it as a threat because of the Seleucid Empire's ambitions for the Mediterranean. Not to mention the Kingdom of Pergamum, whose territory was also invaded by the Seleucid Empire.

Recently, the Seleucid Empire has been challenged in the east, and Maureus? Yadi's presence in the east is related to the war that took place in the east of the Seleucid Empire, and she was sent to serve as a slave in the eastern battlefield.

As slaves, service can be divided into many categories, and male slaves are often used as slave soldiers to do things that look and actually certain death. As female slaves, female slaves may not need to go to the front, but in addition to the logistical service they need to serve the army, their bodies are actually the conditions of "service" itself.

That's right. Maureus? Yadi was arranged to be a military ~ prostitute, and while being a military ~ prostitute, he also had to help the Seleucid soldiers wash and cook or something, and Maureus at that time? Yadi is just a fifteen-year-old girl.

In Maurius? When Yadi was seventeen years old, a new chapter in her life began. That year, the Parthians invaded the eastern provinces of the Seleucid Empire, and she was transformed from a slave of the Seleucid army to a slave of the Parthian army, but this time her fortunes were much better.

It's very confusing to say that different ethnic groups always have different aesthetics. Perhaps in the eyes of the Seleucids, Maureus? Yadea's appearance can only be said to be average, or is it ugly? Forget it, whether it's average or ugly. She was not popular with the Seleucids, and in the two years she became a military ~ prostitute, she only served a single number of guests, and was more about working than being done.

Maureus? Yadi's encounter is related to the Parthian aesthetics, a Parthian general took a fancy to her beauty and took her as a private slave girl, the girl who became a private slave girl was really more worked than worked, for a girl who could not decide her own fate, to be honest, I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, but at least there is no need to crawl and starve anymore.

After stepping through the land of the Seleucid Empire and heading towards the more easter, Parthia, which gradually rose like a scorching sun, made Morlius again? Yadea recognizes what it means to be strong militarily.

Maureus? Yadi was favored, and he always served by the side of the Parthian general, because he had always been with the army and could see a lot of battles, seeing that the mighty Parthia had conquered countless tribes and conquered a lot of land, and no enemy could stop the Parthian army along the way, and it was always the army to Parthia that encountered a group of cavalry who called themselves Wusun's name.

Parthia is rising, a rising country or ethnic group will always have strong force, the Parthia defeated one enemy after another seems to show this, but a strange enemy appeared in front of the Parthians, and the army of that country gave the high-spirited Parthian general a blow to the head.

Maybe it shouldn't be called a country? After all, Wusun is just an alliance that does not fall behind. In Maurius? In Yadi's eyes, the invincible Parthia suffered its first defeat after encountering Usun, and the force called Usun defeated the coalition led by Parthia with almost equal forces, preventing Parthia from continuing eastward.

Maureus? Yadi took advantage of the chaos to break away from the Parthian army, and she mixed in with a tribe called "Danger" who had migrated from west to east. This tribe called Dangersu was not very powerful, and even the tribe was very mixed, including Greeks from the far west, Carthaginians from North Africa, Persians from Central Asia, and most strangely of all, the Dravidians from Indochina.

It is precisely because of the mixed race of the bearded beard, Maureus? Yadi easily settled in the tribe. She had expected to live in the Danger Tribe, but what happened after that had happened was something she had never expected.

It turned out that the powerful Wusun was not the most powerful party in that land, and there was a group called the Yue clan that was even more powerful than Wusun, but the powerful Yue clan was defeated by a group called the Xiongnu, and the Yue people were forced to embark on the road of fleeing to the west.

Whether it is Wusun or Xiongnu, in fact, the two are in Molius? Yadi's eyes are just a kind of barbaric arrogance, after all, no matter how Egypt "broke down", there was a glorious civilization, and the Wusun and Xiongnu, who lived in the form of nomadism, were slightly stronger than the Stone Age, and the strength was stronger than the barbaric force, not the culture. Not even more so in the social system.

One of the princes of the Xiongnu had been in contact with various ethnic groups that had migrated from west to east, and Morlius? Because of his linguistic talent, Yadi gradually mastered some spoken languages, including Xiongnu, and was excavated to become a translator.

Maureus who became a translator? Yadi was able to learn more information, and as she was exposed to more information, she learned that there were countries further east. And it seems that in the news she heard, there was also a country in the east that was at war with the Huns, and the Huns failed to invade that country, but were chased and fled to their current temporary destination.

Perhaps it would be a mistake to say that the East is a country? At least Morlius? What Yadi heard was that there was more than one country to the east. She had incomplete information from a lot of unclear information. It seems that a once powerful country split into more than 3,000 small states, and then after five or six hundred years was reunified by a country called Qin, but Qin's unification only lasted for a short time, and those countries that were destroyed launched a movement to restore the country. In the midst of that war, a new power was also rising at an astonishing rate.

The one that rose rapidly in the east was called Han, and the ruler of Han was called Lü Zhe, so it was also called the Lühan Dynasty. To be honest, if the Wusun and Xiongnu in the Eastern world are still in line with Morlius in terms of name? Yadea's worldview. The surnames of the lands in the more eastern world struck her as strange.

There is only a single word for a surname or a given name, and there is generally only a single word for a name, isn't it worth it for Maureus? Yadi surprised? One thing is universal values. That is, people who are not nobles or people of noble birth do not have surnames, which is generally applicable in the known world.

Maureus? According to the information that Yadi knew, the strong rise of the Han country annexed many ancient countries, and finally oppressed the once most powerful Qin to become a vassal state, and the Qin army as a vassal state also cooperated with the Han army in the war against the Xiongnu......?

I have to say that the old values and ideas made Maureus? Yadi misunderstood, Han and Qin were not suzerains and vassals, but one thing was very certain, that is, the Han army and the Qin army were indeed fighting hand in hand.

Maureus? Yadi was frightened when he first saw the Han army, and the Han army, wearing red robes and riding on a war horse, launched a charge after a battle call. In her eyes, the Han army's clothing and armor styles were full of strangeness, and what made her even more incomprehensible was why the Han cavalry could sit on horseback so safely, and the long-range weapon called the crossbow was unprecedented in terms of range and lethality.

The first time I saw the Han army, let Molius? Yadi and a large number of people became the spoils of the Han army, and many of the tribal leaders said that the powerful Huns fought against the Han army, and the scene was completely ......defeated, and of course, the resistance organized by the various ethnic groups was also crushed by the Han army.

The shocking picture of the Han army when it appeared can make many people remember it for a lifetime, Maureus? Yadi knows that there are many countries and even more armies she has seen, but she wants to say that the most impressive thing about the Han army is the existence of such a rare thing as the military formation.

In today's world, many countries do not have such a "skill" as a military formation, such as Egypt does not have a military formation, Seleucus, Parthia, Pergamon and many other countries with good military strength do not have military formations, Maureus? What Yadi knew was that Macedonia and Rome had infantry phalanxes, but no country had cavalry formations.

The Han army appeared in a military formation, and after the charge began to fight, it also maintained a set of tactical maneuvers that seemed to be very fluid, what were the others thinking when they saw that scene? Yadi had no way of knowing, but she felt the invincibility brought by civilization almost at the first moment.

What is civilization? Civilization is culture, but also science and technology, it is culture and science and technology that arm an army that can fight well, an army that is constrained by military discipline and tactics written by culture, and an army that combines scientific and technological strength.

Maureus? Yadi didn't have a ** language to learn, once she learned the language of the Seleucids to survive, and learned the language of the Parthians to be able to take revenge one day, after all, she was a general's slave girl, and the slave girl was likely to become a favored wife, which was not uncommon in Parthian customs, and she also thought that one day she would be able to persuade the Parthian general to suggest that her king invade Seleucus.

Of course, Maureus? Yadi didn't wait for the day to convince the Parthian general, who had been shot dead by a stray arrow, before that day came, and she mentioned learning the Chinese language to find out what that kingdom was really like.

After becoming a slave of the Han army again, Maurius? Yadi thought that she should become a slave girl like a military ~ prostitute, and maybe she would also be a private slave girl by a high-ranking person, but nothing like that happened, the Han army was a little different from the army she had seen, the difference was in the obedience of the soldiers to the officers, and the brutality of the Han army also made her think that she could not live.

It's definitely not nonsense to say that the Han army was brutal, Maureus? On more than one occasion, Yadi saw the Han army systematically killing prisoners of war, and the Han army carried out the killings on the grounds that wounded prisoners of war were worthless. Well, it's not a big deal to kill the enemy's wounded in this day and age, it's just that the Han army is also massacring people who they find useless, on the grounds that those people are too short and not aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Who knows how the Han army distinguishes between beauty and ugliness, Maureus? Yadi was only glad that he was not classified as ugly, and seemed to be considered beautiful, so he could be selected to be sent to the area where the ruler of the empire was...... (To be continued......)
