A nation with heritage, even when she is arrogant, inheriting the heritage in the culture will make that arrogance full of a different charm.

At this moment, Han Xin raised his head slightly and looked at the team of envoys from Wusun, unabashedly realizing that he should be a strong man, and then with a confident smile on his face, his waist pole riding on the back of the war horse also looked straight.

"I am from the land of Tianhe, and my name is Shea, and I have come with the sincere greetings of my king."

The Tianhe River in the Wusun population is actually the modern Ili River, the current Wusun tribes are inhabited in the southeast area of Lake Balkhash, they still exist in the form of tribal alliances, and they have not been established until about the Western Han Dynasty, so the so-called "my king" of the Wusun envoy should be the chief.

The communication of different races always requires at least one interpreter, and the Wusun people brought their own interpreter, and that was a Yueshi person who understood the Qin dialect.

"I'm from the Fifth Cavalry Regiment of the Empire, my surname is Han Mingxin, and I was ordered to come to receive me."

Not everyone in the Chinese ethnic group has a "clan", and many times a "surname" is actually quite special, and more people don't even have a "surname", only a name.

The Usun people are ethnically Caucasians, but they are also distinct from the Caucasian people of Europa. Most of the hair is black, some women have red hair, most of the pupils are of rest color, the bridge of the nose is not straight in the cold zone, and the nostrils are round.

In fact, the Caucasian people of Europa are also divided into several types, for example, the Greeks have generally golden hair, blue eyes, and the bridge of the nose is not high; The Romans had black hair, black eyes, and relatively less white skin, more yellow skin; Caucasian people on the European subcontinent and in northern Europe have a pink skin and more of a miserable white skin. There are also obvious differences in the pupils, hair, and facial features.

Han Xin paid attention to the team of Wusun envoys who came over, and he found that if he carefully distinguished, not all Wusun people's facial features were the same, for example, the Yueshi people were a group of people whose skin was white but whose facial features were not much different from those of Huaxia, and some of them were even people with wheat-colored skin but unique facial features.

"Honorable officer of the Han army," how could Shea not see that Han Xin was observing? He didn't know for what purpose, but he personally introduced and translated through a translator: "As you can see, some of our team are from the Yueshi, some are from the Caucasus, and some are from the distant Mediterranean. Our ontological group is people like me, the Yueshi are the second highest status class in our group, and the others are our servant vassals. ”

In the intelligence spied by the Han army. The Wusun people did indeed accept a lot of Yue's people, and the Wusun cavalry also fought with some forces further west. And it seems that the Wusun people also annexed quite a few ethnic groups that migrated from west to east?

The Yueshi people were defeated by the Xiongnu, and the group of people who migrated westward were called the Da Yue clan in Chinese history, and there were also clansmen who did not migrate westward among the Yue clan, and this part was called the Xiao Yue clan in the records of Chinese history, but the Chinese history did not record the Yue clan too much, but simply recorded the Da Yue clan's westward migration and the small Yue clan stayed to resist.

Obviously, the group of Yue's people who are attached to Wusun are the "legendary" Xiaoyue's people, and they seem to have received good treatment in the tribal alliance of Wusun?

The current chieftain of the Usun Tribal Alliance is a man named Bo Ximi. "Mi" is the surname of the Wusun royal family. There is a premise that he sent a team of envoys to contact the Han army, that is, the cavalry of Wusun and the cavalry of the Han army had an inexplicable battle, and the result was that only eight of the more than 1,000 Wusun cavalry escaped, but the Han army only lost less than 100 people.

Community-to-community contact has always begun with violence. Many times the violence will continue, but more often than not, it is the weaker side who will give in first, hoping to engage in a non-violent way.

He was shocked and puzzled to learn that his thousand cavalry had been almost completely annihilated at the hands of an army he had never touched.

In the world known to Usun. No army is dressed in red robes and black armor, and it has strong fighting power. Listen to the survivors' descriptions, and the army has a lot of equipment and is very sophisticated.

The first contact between the Wusun cavalry and the Han army explained a lot of things, especially the fact that the 1,000 Wusun cavalry were almost completely annihilated by the defeat of the 250 Han troops, and Bo Ximi was not only shocked but also afraid. He thought that no one would become an undying enemy with a group of strangers as soon as they met, and he thought that Wusun should not have such an enemy, so he did what he thought was right, and that was to send an envoy to communicate.

In the follow-up, Bo Ximi learned from the Xiaoyue clan who had encountered who, in the Xiaoyue clan's description, the army in red robes and black armor came from the eastern continent, and the ethnic groups on that continent called themselves Huaxia. And there is not only one country in this ethnic group in China, the once powerful Yue clan has repeatedly fought with two Chinese countries, they are called Qin and Zhao.

The Qin State was a very barbaric and belligerent country in the memory of the Yue people, and the Qin army was very fierce on the battlefield, and loved to cut off the enemy's head and tie it around the waist to continue to charge. The Yue clan was not in an advantageous position in the contest with the Qin state, but gradually lost the dominance of the Hetao in the invasion of the Qin army. It must be said that Bo Ximi knew very well that the Yue Clan was once powerful, and when he heard that description and his own speculation, he really felt a little frightened.

Zhao Guo? In the memory of the Yue people, the Zhao State is also a Chinese country that can fight well, but relatively speaking, the Zhao army is easier to deal with, at least the Yue people don't need to see the picture of the Zhao army soldiers cutting off the enemy's head and tying it around the waist to charge.

"Then the thing is true, the former Qin, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, and Han have mostly disappeared, and the Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Han who have not disappeared will also become the feudal states of your monarch, and a powerful new empire in the East is taking shape?"

"You guys are very well informed. Indeed, the old nations are largely gone, and new empires are being built. ”

Under the escort of five hundred Han cavalry, the Wusun envoy regiment that was temporarily combined was slowly moving towards the direction of Woye.

Han Xin got a message from his conversation with the Wusun envoy She'a, that the Wusun people did not know much about the land of China, and a lot of information was outdated, and those information were full of all kinds of unreliable speculation. However, there is one thing that Shea is not wrong about. The former Warring States will inevitably disappear into the Chinese continent, and the empire will definitely become the sole master of that land.

Shea also got the information he wanted, and he affirmed one thing from Han Xin's words, the empire was being formed, and it was still the Han National Defense Force's many foreign armies, and those armies would be renamed the Imperial Defense Force in the future.

Imperial? "Imperial" country? It sounds a little uncomfortable, but any title is from unfamiliar and uncomfortable to familiar, at least Shea didn't feel anything wrong when he heard "Empire" as the name of the country, and he didn't fail to understand that the name of the country called the Empire was a kind of thing that dragged the Coollord to blow up the sky.

The fertile field is still the same fertile field, the difference is that it was originally a turquoise grassland wilderness. After the Han army settled in, barracks were erected one after another, and the camp expanded with the increase in the number of troops stationed there, and finally Fertile Field became a large military camp.

"Heaven above, your army...... That's a lot! Shea was stunned when he saw the camp so large that it stretched almost to the end of the world.

How many Han troops were there under the Fertile Field Front? The 1st Cavalry Corps, the 2nd Mixed Legion, the 5th Cavalry Corps, the 10th Mixed Legion, and the 11th Mixed Regiment are 250,000 soldiers plus about 300,000 auxiliaries. Among them, the 1st Cavalry Corps, the 2nd Mixed Legion, and the 5th Cavalry Corps were stationed in the fertile field, and the remaining 10th Mixed Regiment and 11th Mixed Regiment were assigned to Jiuyuan and Yunzhong.

It is difficult to accurately count the number of second-line troops and civilians who are moving on the logistics line, but it is not to mention that there are more than 1.5 million second-line troops and civilians who are constantly transporting baggage back and forth, and they are active in the newly occupied grasslands to ensure logistics for the troops on all fronts.

Not counting the second-line troops and civilians who are mobile. The total number of people stationed in Woye has increased to nearly 600,000, and among the 600,000 people, there are more than 70,000 Zhao troops led by Sima Ang.

600,000 people may not sound like a literal number, but when the camp of 500,000 people is presented in front of people's eyes, the camp will occupy the whole view. It gives people an infinite visual impact of the camp.

Han Xin was deeply impressed by She'a's admiration, the camp in the fertile field did seem to be too big, but the 600,000 troops were by no means all the Chinese armed forces in the grassland, but he knew that the army had a new order to be issued. On the grassland, whether it is the Han army or the Qin army, Ang or the Zhao army and the Yan army that have not been reorganized and reorganized, they all have a common number, which is the first name of the grassland dispatch army.

It was supposed to be named the Steppe Expeditionary Force. However, Lu Zhe thought that being so close to the mainland could not be regarded as an expedition, and referred to the naming method of "dispatch army" at the Qin level, and after discussion, he combined the front army originally stationed in Woye, the eighth mixed army, the thirteenth cavalry corps, and the fifteenth mixed army led by Sima Xin, and the Qin army led by Meng Tian after obtaining the consent of Fusu, and the 70,000 Zhao army led by Sima Ang did not let go, and merged the army with a total strength of about one million into the grassland dispatch army.

The establishment of the Grassland Dispatch Army also led to the emergence of some new positions, for example, Lu Zhe set up three military positions: Hussar General, Che Cavalry General, and Wei General, and then added four generals: former general, rear general, left general, and right general.

The new round of restructuring has a corresponding historical background, mainly the formation of the empire, and before that, both military and civilian officials seemed to be simpler and could not take into account all aspects, so the establishment of new official positions has also become an absolute necessity.

Under the premise that the Imperial Commander's Office and the General's Office did not change their powers, the military attachés of the empire had the most new changes.

Taiwei is still the first military attaché, that is, a super-grade general.

Hussar generals, chariot generals, and Wei generals are used as the second ladder to become first-class military generals.

The generals of the east and the west, the generals of the south and the north are the third echelon and the second-class generals.

General Zhendong, General Zhenxi, General Zhennan, and General Zhenbei are the fourth echelon and are three-rank military generals.

The former general, the rear general, the left general, and the right general are the fourth echelon, as the four-rank generals.

The generals of the east and the west, the south and the north will become the fifth echelon, and they are the five military generals.

Zhennan Zhonglang General, Zhenxi Zhonglang General, Zhennan Zhonglang General, and Zhenbei Zhonglang will be the sixth echelon and are six-rank military generals.

All kinds of captains and captains are usually stationed in their places, such as stationed in Jiuyuan, which is currently part of the border county, then it is Jiuyuan Captain or Jiuyuan Captain, and this echelon is used as a seven-rank general.

The captains of the city gates everywhere are connected to the eighth rank and the ninth rank of the military marquis, and the military marquis below is no rank.

The empire did not implement any nine-rank system, so it was destined that although the rank existed, it was not fixed, that is, the position of the military was full of change.

The so-called changeability means that the military general will change his official position in whatever position he is transferred to, for example, Xu Zhi in Woye, his previous position was the commander of the Zhonglang General, and now he is appointed as the right general according to his position, but his right general is also a wartime rank because of the needs of the operation, once the position changes, it may be changed to the former general, rear general, left general and other official positions.

It must be noted that once you hold any military general position, then usually when there is a need for change, the rank will basically not decline, that is, the power and treatment are either flat or promoted, and the empire will have a bottom file, even if it is after returning to China, although the rank and position of the military general are gone, but they will still enjoy the treatment and benefits of the last rank.

In addition, it needs to be explained that whether it is a facial feature or a civil official, whether it is a nobleman or not is the most important thing, and if it is a nobleman, it is the priority to determine the treatment by title.

Xu Zhizheng, who learned that he was going to become a fifth-class viscount, was in a period of excitement, that is, the ruler recognized his exploits in the fertile field, and he finally became a real nobleman from an unpopular lord, and jumped five levels in a row to become a fifth-class viscount.

Although it is a fifth-class viscount, but it is a viscount, how many viscounts are there in the entire empire now? He, Xu Zhi, can be regarded as stepping into the core class of the empire, how can he not feel excited!

Xu Zhi, who was excited and happy, looked at everything because he was in a happy mood, and even the Caucasian who hated and wanted to use the knife when he saw it, now he looks at it and how pleasing to the eye.

When he learned that the person standing in front of him was a nobleman who had heard that he was a nobleman who had heard that he was a very tall noble, and that he was the commander of a powerful legion, or the right general who didn't understand what he meant, but felt very powerful, he immediately stood in awe......
