Chapter 2321 Six major powers in Central and Western Asia, Shurasna naval battle

Chapter 2317: Six major countries in Central and Western Asia, Shura Sena naval battle

Tianzhu is located in South Asia, and it is too far away from the middle land of East Asia. Coupled with the barrier of the Himalayas, apart from the spread of Buddhism to the East, Tianzhu has almost no communication with the Central Plains. Instead, it has exchanges with Central Asia, West Asia, and Southeast Asia. Quite a lot.

Ye Qingmei also collected information about Central Asia and West Asia for a long time and spent a lot of money before buying it from merchants from the Mughal Empire and the Guishuang Empire.

The exchanges between Tianzhu and Central Asia mainly depended on Guishuang and Timur, while the exchanges with West Asia depended on the Mughal Empire.

The spheres of influence of the two major empires of Guishuang and Timur have penetrated into Central Asia, and there are many confrontations with Central Asian countries, especially the Guishuang Empire, which owns a territory in Central Asia that is larger than that of most Central Asian mainland are powerful.

The total area of ​​Central Asia is about 400 million square kilometers, which is smaller than that of South Asia and Southeast Asia. The overall climate is harsh. The continental climate is dominated by temperate deserts and grasslands. Rain is scarce, and most areas are extremely dry, so it is naturally extremely dry. poor.

Later generations of South Asia feed a quarter of the world's population with an area of ​​430 million square kilometers.

However, the land of 400 million square kilometers in Central Asia only feeds [-]% of the world's population.

It can be seen that the natural environment in Central Asia is harsh.

From the perspective of geographical location, Central Asia is located at the junction of the Eurasian continent and is a transportation hub that runs through the Eurasian continent. It has always been the only place to go east and west, and go south and north. It is also the place where the ancient Silk Road passed.

As the largest continent in the world, Asia has a total area of ​​4457 million square kilometers, accounting for about 30% of the world's total land area. With such a large area, countries and people in different regions are doomed to have different geographical environments. , there is a huge difference.

The regions in Asia with the best environment, the most fertile land, and the most suitable for human survival are basically concentrated in East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Most of the land in East Asia has been developed by the Han people, and the undeveloped land is also being opened up, so this land is definitely the best quality land in the world and the most suitable land for human survival.

Although a lot of land in South Asia has been developed, more than half of it remains undeveloped.

In Southeast Asia, only a small part of the land has been developed, and most of the land is in an undeveloped state.

As for Central Asia, North Asia, and West Asia, most of the areas are ice sheets, deserts, grasslands, and deserts. The climate conditions are too harsh. Even if the limited suitable land is developed, it is destined not to support too many people.

There were five countries in Central Asia in later generations, and now there are five empires, nine kingdoms, and thirteen small countries.

The five empires are: Persian Empire, Guishuang Empire, Timur Empire, Saman Empire, and Seljuk Empire;

Among the five great empires in Central Asia, the top three are all outsiders, especially the Persian Empire.

Under the agitation of Alexander and other rebels, the Roman Empire inevitably split, and the current monarch of the Persian Empire, Darius I, also led Persia to become independent from the Roman Empire.

Darius I originally wanted to fight for hegemony in Europe, but the competition in Europe was too great, and there were too many strong players. Whether it was Macedonia or Rome, he was not sure of victory.

In order to accumulate strength and expand his strength, Darius I led his army to reach West Asia and Central Asia, and established the Persian Empire with a population of 300 million across the three major regions of Eastern Europe, Central Asia and West Asia.

Although the current Persian Empire is not as powerful as it was in history, it is developing extremely rapidly. In a short period of time, it has occupied a large area in the west of Central Asia, forcing the other four empires to join forces to fight.

The Kushan Empire formed an alliance with the Timur Empire from India, and the Saman Empire and the Seljuk Empire in Central Asia also formed an alliance with each other, only to prevent the Persian Empire from accumulating and expanding in Central Asia.

After talking about the Persian Empire, let’s talk about the two major empires in Central Asia.

The current emperor of the Samanid Empire is Nasr ibn Ahmed, who was the founding emperor of the Samanid Dynasty in history. He occupied the northern part of Central Asia and part of the eastern region, with a total population of 700 million.

The current emperor of the Seljuk Empire is Tugril Beg, who was also the founding emperor of the Seljuk Empire in history. It currently occupies the central and eastern parts of Central Asia, with a total population of 750 million.

Nasr and Tugril are both hidden figures of the alien Baizhao.

The Persi Empire occupied most of western Central Asia, the Kushan Empire occupied most of southern Central Asia, and the Timurid Empire occupied parts of southern and western Central Asia.

Add the Saman Empire in the north and the Seljuk Empire in the center.

The above five empires occupied most of Central Asia.

In addition, there are nine kingdoms in Central Asia with a population of less than one million, namely: Ottoman, Khwarazm, Karakhan, Ghazni, Golden Horde, Delhi, Mamluks, Da Yuezhi, Dalai Wan.

In addition to these nine kingdoms, there are thirteen small countries in Central Asia with a population between 50 and [-].

The expansion of the three major foreign empires in Central Asia has aroused the vigilance of the local forces in Central Asia, and then expanded their power by annexing other effects. This also makes the situation of these small countries extremely difficult, either being annexed by the empire or being annexed by the kingdom.

In the beginning, there were more than 200 small countries in Central Asia, but now there are only 13 left, and they are still in the process of disappearing rapidly. Perhaps in a few years, there will not be even one left.

The expansion of the Persian Empire in Central Asia was boycotted by the four great empires including Kushan and Saman. Darius I was not sure about fighting against the four great empires, so he shifted the focus of expansion to West Asia.

The total area of ​​West Asia is about 720 million square kilometers, second only to North Asia and East Asia, and larger than South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia. However, the overall climate is also harsher. Most areas have arid climate, lack of water resources, and annual precipitation in many areas. The volume is less than 200 mm, and the terrain is mainly plateau.

There are a total of 20 countries in Western Asia in later generations, but now there are five empires, four kingdoms, and fourteen small countries.

The five empires are: Persian Empire, Mughal Empire, Parthian Empire, Egyptian Empire, Arab Empire;

The Persian Empire occupied part of the western part of West Asia, and the Mughal Empire occupied part of the eastern part of West Asia.

The Parthian Empire, whose current emperor is Al Sahib, was also the founding monarch of the Sassian Dynasty in history. It occupied the Mesopotamian Plain, the Euphrates River in the southeast of Asia Minor, and the Amu Darya River in the east. The total population of the country is 800 million.

The Egyptian Empire, the current emperor Thutmose III, occupied the Nile Valley and its delta, as well as parts of North Africa, with a total population of 600 million.

The Arab Empire, the current emperor Abu Abbas, occupied most of the Arabian Peninsula, with a population of 550 million;
In West Asia, in addition to these five great empires, Babylon, Umayyad, Abbasid, and Turkey are kingdoms with a population of about one million, and 14 small countries with a population of less than 20.

The Persian Empire didn't pay much attention to West Asia at the beginning, because the land was too barren, so Darius I just captured a territory and led the army directly to fight Central Asia.

However, when Darius I met in Central Asia and wanted to attack West Asia again, he found that this land was also full of heroes, and the joint attack of the three empires of Parthia, Egypt, and Arabia made Persia even more powerful. The empire suffered heavy casualties on this land, and even almost forced the Persian Empire out of West Asia.

After another encounter, Darius I looked back and found that Persia had already offended all the major powers in Central Asia and West Asia. If it continued, sooner or later, it would be attacked by the deadly enemies all around. , So the pace of expansion stopped, and peace was temporarily restored in Central Asia and West Asia.

After learning about the situation in Central Asia and West Asia, Ye Qingmei's mood was obviously not calm. She never expected that the areas outside the Central Plains would be so chaotic.

Relatively speaking, although the East Asian region is chaotic, it has generally stabilized. After the unification of the Great Qin Dynasty is completed, peace will be ushered in completely.

Ye Qingmei's trip to Tianzhu did not go well, and she was intercepted by the kingdom of Shura Sena just after she entered the Indian Ocean.

Shura Sena Kingdom is a medium-sized power on the southeast coast of Tianzhu, with a population of 70. Although the country is small, the monarch is working hard to develop the country into a big country, but it is a pity that his ability is limited.

King Shurasena learned from the Burmese merchants that Daqin had conducted a large number of transactions with various countries in Myanmar, and now there is a lot of wealth in the fleet. Driven by greed, King Shurasena planned to act as a pirate to rob.

What King Shurasena didn't know was that the Burmese businessman he saw was actually sent by Boramo, the king of Ayutthaya, in order to provoke the greed of King Shurasena, so as to avenge the hatred that Daqin almost wiped out Ayutthaya , As a result, the greedy King Shura Sena was really fooled.

Shura Sena is not a powerful country, but because it is near the sea and there are few rivers in the country, it has a large number of naval forces, and it is a regional naval power.

King Shura Sena naturally knew that the Qin army was not easy to mess with. The Dacheng Kingdom of Myanmar, which was stronger than him, was beaten to death by the Daqin navy, but at that time he thought that the reason for the defeat of the Dacheng Army was on land. If that country wants to fight in the sea, can't it win the mere five thousand Qin navy?
In order to be able to take advantage of the great Qin navy in one fell swoop, Shura Sena directly dispatched all the navy in the country, a total of 100 navy and more than [-] warships, to intercept the Qin army.

In the end, the result of this naval battle shocked the entire Tianzhu.

Daqin's shipbuilding technology is several grades higher than Tianzhu's. Shura Sena's navy warships can't catch up at all. Even if they can get close, they will be attacked by Daqin's navy first, and their range can't reach Qin. Army, so this naval battle also showed a one-sided trend.

Under Qi Jiguang's command, none of the warships of the Great Qin Navy sank, but half of the warships of the Ashibo Kingdom were sunk, and the other half of the warships were captured.

After the news of the sea battle of Shura Sena came out, all the countries in Tianzhu were in an uproar.

The infantry of Shura Sena Kingdom is indeed not strong, but the navy is also famous for its strength.

However, the [-] well-recognized strong water army was crushed by the [-] water army of the Great Qin Dynasty. This record is simply amazing.

Although the countries of Tianzhu don’t know much about the Central Plains, there are records in the Buddhist history of Buddhism: the Buddha and the Buddha’s mother went to break the soil to preach, but they were blocked by the local Taoists and injured by the Taoists in the east. Then step into the eastern soil for half a step.

The deeds of the Buddha and the Buddha's mother have made the people of Tianzhu realize that there is a powerful civilization in the east, and it must not be easily provoked before the unification of Tianzhu.

Now Qi Jiguang has not only fully demonstrated the power of the Great Qin to the Tianzhu countries through the sea battle of Shura Sena, but also deterred a large part of the people, so that they will not only plot against the Great Qin Mission.

Ye Qingmei didn't continue to take revenge on Shura Sena country, because it was meaningless. There are many countries like this in Tianzhu, and Daqin couldn't take revenge at all.

Ye Qingmei ordered the fleet to dock, and then took the initiative to communicate with the countries of Tianzhu, and was welcomed by the countries around the sea.

The Mughal Empire, the Peacock Kingdom, the Gupta Kingdom, and many other small kingdoms near the sea all agreed to trade with the Great Qin to purchase goods.

But the Guishuang Empire and the Mughal Empire, the two inland countries in the north, and other inland countries, it was difficult for Ye Qingmei to get in touch with them.

Even if they got in touch, they didn't want to make a deal. After all, the southern coastal area of ​​South Asia was too far away from the two northern empires, so Ye Qingmei could only give up doing business with the two countries.

However, even if Guishuang and Mughal were abandoned, the markets of the countries along the southern coast of Tianzhu would be large enough to fatten Daqin.

Ye Qingmei sells equipment in Southeast Asian countries. After arriving in South Asia, there is not much equipment left on board, so the transaction with Tianzhu countries is not selling arms, but luxury goods such as ceramics, cloth, ornaments, bronzes, etc., and clean commodities Then surface paper, refined salt, sugar and so on.

India deserves to be called the brightest jewel in the crown of the King of England. It is really rich. The transactions with Daqin are all traded in gold, and they bought all of Daqin's goods, but they can give Ye Qingmei I'm so happy.

After the transaction was over, Ye Qingmei and the three major overlords decided to build two new ports in Tianzhu after some discussions and negotiations. They were located at the junction of the Peacock Kingdom and the Gupta Kingdom, and the Gupta Kingdom and the Mughal Empire. The port is jointly managed by the four major countries.

This time Ye Qingmei only got the right to name one of the ports, and named it after Zheng He: Zheng He Port.

The other port was named Peacock Harbor by the king of the Peacock Kingdom.

After finishing everything, just as Ye Qingmei was about to leave Tianzhu and lead the return voyage, he received news of the outbreak of war.

The emperor of the Guishuang Empire, Kanishejia, ordered the general Qiu Jiuqi to be the commander in chief, and led 15 troops to the south in an attempt to annex the three forces bordering the Maurya Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, the Timur Empire also sent troops, and Emperor Timur personally led 13 troops to attack the four forces bordering the Mughal Empire.

The Tianzhu war is about to break out.
