Chapter 1049: All the Way West (6)
"Wherever the Han army goes, it is the territory of the Han!" Looking at the city of Nissa, which was in the midst of war in the distance, I heard countless mournful wails. Gao Yang immediately roared loudly at the generals around him in front of the army.
"!!"
has been invincible and invincible along the way. As well as countless fertile lands, the well-fed Han soldiers who were fed with all kinds of goods filled with all their bags roared in unison! There is nothing more exciting than this battle of conquest and annihilation.
Whether it is honor or interests, whether it is ideals or aspirations. Almost everything can be satisfied by this magnificent battle of annihilation.
"Kill it! Occupy the city! Gao Yang pointed at the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly.
In an instant, countless Han troops poured into the battle-torn city of Nissa. They will conquer the city once and for all!
Just by looking at the size of the city, you can imagine how rich the city is. For the army of this era, it is all nonsense to talk about any ideals with them, and only plundering is the most red fruit benefit!
"Almost all the civilized countries of this era were along the Silk Road. Fight all the way to the city of Rome. That would be the completion of this epic expedition. Looking at the magnificent battlefield in front of him, Gao Yang said softly, "As for the other barbarians who are struggling to survive in the barbarian wasteland, as the population of the Han Empire increases in the future, the continuous expansion will naturally force them into a desperate situation!" β
"This kind of thing can only be done in this era." Yuan Dian said loudly, "Something like this that will sweep the world through an expedition will not happen in a few hundred years. Of course, the Mongol kind doesn't count. β
"Further on, Mesopotamia." Gao Yang watched the tide of Han troops pouring into Nissa, and said with a smile, "This is the core of the Sabbatarians, who have received the legacy of the ancient Persian Empire and the Seleucid Empire. Although there is a trend of regression in strength, it is still not to be underestimated. β
"Do you care about that?" Yuan Dian smiled and replied, "Haven't you always been pushed by the army?" It doesn't matter how strong he is? Just hit it down. β
"You don't talk about tactics and strategy anymore? Why be so violent? Gao Yang said with a smile.
"That's not what you said." The origin responded: "If you have absolute strength, then crush all the way through and subdue all the enemies." As for everything else, it doesn't matter. β
"There's a lot of important things." Gao Yang shook his head slightly, and a faint look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. Looking at the confident Han army sergeants around him, he said, "So many soldiers have been fighting abroad for a long time. With the communication conditions and road conditions of this era. It's a miracle that these most obsessed soldiers in the world have been able to hold on to their hometowns until now. Even Alexander's expedition hundreds of years ago was fought for a period of time before returning to the army. After all, they are just ordinary people. β
"Isn't the army supposed to be used for war?" The origin point was a little confused and asked, "It's okay to have a rest, why do you have to go home?" This will interfere with the progress of the operation. β
Gao Yang raised his hand to stroke his forehead, and said helplessly, "Don't make trouble, what you said is a biochemical warrior." It is impossible for these natural soldier soldiers to ignore all this. For them, their home is far more important than their country and their future. β
After a pause, Gao Yang smiled and raised his hand to the large group of Han soldiers who were frantically pouring into Nisa City in the distance, and said, "Do you believe it or not? They were able to follow me all the way to this place, and they were able to keep fighting so vigorously. Except for the mess of training, military discipline, and honor. The most important thing is that they can get rich because of this war. Many of these soldiers had packed their bags and were waiting to return to their hometowns to enjoy themselves. β
"What then?" The voice of the origin was full of disbelief: "You can't wait, the soldiers don't want to fight, right?" It will be at least a few years before you come back to the army to recuperate. Isn't what you want to do most now is to save time so that you can go back to the modern time and live the good life you have always dreamed of? β
"You'll find out soon." Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth. There was a mysterious smile on his face. Said with a wave of his hand.
......
The city of Nissa is located in the heart of the Rest Empire, and neither the Kushan Empire nor the Roman Empire has the strength to threaten it. So, when the ancient city, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, was suddenly attacked by a powerful army from the far east. The city of Nissa did not resist for long, and only three days later the land of the dragons of the Sabbath was captured.
Gao Yang himself doesn't care about wealth and land at all. These things have always been rewarded on a large scale for their own subordinates.
Because I have long predicted the various things that may arise when the soldiers are out fighting all year round. Look at Alexander's Expedition to know this kind of thing. Therefore, most of the soldiers and horses brought by Gao Yang this time were concubines who could not inherit the family business or could only inherit a small amount of family business. It is the same whether it is a general or a sergeant.
Gao Yang had already told everyone before the expedition that he was willing to live in a big house on the newly developed land, and apply to join the expeditionary force by himself if he got the fertile land. At this time, most of the people in Gaoyang's army were concubines who had not thought of going home, and they had already separated when they went out.
By the time the core territory of the Kushan Empire was occupied, more than 30,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force had chosen to stay there. They would form militarized villages across the vast land of the former Kushan Empire, connected by convenient concrete avenues. Keep all military supplies except crossbow arrows for defense. These armies were the elite reserve of the Central Asian satrapy. As long as the summoning order is issued, it will soon be a decisive war force again!
Each of these sergeants who chose to stay in the area was given a share of the land according to their exploits. All are the best, most fertile, cultivated land. As for the original owner of the land, he either died or fled. Or even if you don't die, you won't dare to get it back. Each sergeant was given at least more than three hundred acres of land. That's the least, you can get so much even if you don't have a military industry.
If it is a military merit, it is even more incredible. It is a common thing to change three to five hundred acres of land for ordinary people. In addition, there are a large number of various livestock here, and Gaoyang also provides a variety of agricultural tools made of stainless steel for free. Don't be too good in the future.
In addition to the fields, these soldiers had more or less obtained a lot of goods in the previous successive battles. Even if you don't grab it. Gao Yang has also given out a lot to everyone. After dividing the land and having a house. The sergeants were arranged by the governor's office of Central Asia to send troops to escort the wealth they had given back to their homeland. These goods were to be used for them to marry their wives.
Although every sergeant at this time had at least one beautiful local woman. But these women can't be on the stage.
The law set by Gao Yang is clear. These women can only be concubines. They do not have any inheritance rights, and the main wife can only be Han Chinese.
In this case, the Han soldiers themselves, who missed their homeland, also rejected the local women. The large-scale marrying of wives for them became the most important circumstance for the satrapies of Central Asia, and for the satrapies everywhere in the future.
Those sergeants who had been engaged in their hometowns were simple, just hand over their wealth to the governor's palace and send them back, and then bring them back. Those who do not have a marriage contract can only rely on a large team of matchmakers. Fortunately, they have a lot of wealth with their heads and their lives, and it is not difficult for Ming Media to marry a wife.
However, in the middle of this, the officials at all levels who spread this kind of errand are all walking on thin ice. Because if you're not careful, you may lose your head.
Gao Yang attaches great importance to the army, and anything that harms the interests of the army will be punished mercilessly and severely. Never leave a trace of affection.
During the Northern Expedition to the grasslands, there was a sergeant who fought abroad, but his fiancΓ©e was forcibly married. When the sergeant learned of this, he reported it all the way to Gao Yang.
After Gao Yang found out what happened, he didn't say a word, and directly used the crime of sabotaging the military marriage from the local lowest-level lieutenant to kill all the way to the county guard from the bottom up. Zhang Zhao, a famous man in Jiangnan who was in charge of the settlement of the army in the court, was also swept to the end, and he died depressed at home.
With the lessons of the past, no one dares to be careless in matters related to the army. This is not a loss of hats, this is a direct loss of heads!
If you lose your hat, you can still find a way to pick it up. I lost my head, but I didn't even have an idea.
In addition to the huge team of mediators, the Han court is also persuading many families to choose to relocate and emigrate according to Gao Yang's orders. A large number of preferential policies are given. The main thing is to give the land desperately. Anyway, the great army conquered countless lands outside. There are so many that even the statistics are incomplete.
In short, Gao Yang wanted to increase the number of Han Chinese in these newly conquered lands as much as possible. The large-scale killings were also carried out in order to enable the Han Chinese to quickly become the dominant ethnic group in the region. Only when there are more people can we really grasp the land firmly.
After capturing the city of Nisa, Gao Yang announced to the whole army that when the Empire of Rest was destroyed, the soldiers could choose to return to their hometown!
Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are unwilling can return to their homeland with the military merits and wealth they have worked so hard to get!
As soon as this news came out, the whole army immediately boiled.
The morale of the Han army has been raised to its peak. If they want to stay and prepare to get more military merits in exchange for more fertile land, the desire for land of the farming people is unimaginable to others. The sergeants who are preparing to return home are even more frenzied in battle, hoping to lay the most solid foundation for a better life in the future in the final feast. There's no faster way to get money than robbery.
In such a state of boiling of the whole army, the huge Han army came to the city of Apameya in the south of the Caspian Sea. Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Rest Empire have been waiting here for a long time under the command of their emperor! (To be continued.) )
