Chapter 953 Knights
In fact, any dynasty that wants to change the filth of the previous dynasty has to go through this kind of experience.

Henkel defeated the overlord and aspired to the top of the world, but the world did not settle down because of this, and the problem of kings with different surnames surfaced again.

Emperor Guangwu ruled the world and saved the fields. He also had a lot of trouble for many years. The tyrants directly attacked the government office and killed the officials of the court.

The Sima family stole Cao Wei's world, not only did not change their minds, but made the country even more corrupt.

If Sima's family doesn't do it, then Lao Yang's family can only come.

After checking the details of these law-obsessed officials, they are either the remnants of the powerful nobles, or the prefects and county magistrates bought back then.

If Daqin wants to achieve real revitalization, it must have the courage to cut flesh.

The effect of doing this in Guandong is surprisingly good. The land came out, and the population also came out, and a wave of people migrated to Liaodong and Hezhong along the way.

Yang Zheng, who had tasted the sweetness, discussed with Wei Guan and Zhang Fei, and decided to amend the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. Except for the heinous crimes, all other crimes were exiled to the border areas.

In Liaodong, Southern Xinjiang, Hezhong, and Mobei, prisoners can choose a place that suits their appetite according to their own preferences.

All the prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were empty, many of them were war criminals from the previous dynasty, who had received the favor of the Sima family and were resolutely unwilling to reform themselves.

Exile was far more feared in this age than beheading.

Decapitation is clean and easy, but exile is life rather than death.

However, people's concepts will change slowly. Even if criminals are exiled to the river, they are still higher than other ethnic groups. If they have good killing skills, they will change their nationality in three or two years.

What is lacking in Hezhong, Liaodong, and southern Xinjiang is the professional talents in this field.

Back then, the government and the garrison especially favored such talents...

Logically, Yang Zheng thought that most of the prisoners would choose southern Xinjiang, because the climate there is warm and there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but most of them choose Hezhong...

One reason is that the Xuanyi Division has spared no effort in publicity these years, that the river is full of gold and gemstones.

Second, the local area is really good to the Han people who migrated here. They allocate houses, distribute fields and pastures, and return their mother's rewards to women so that they can settle down and start a business.

The beauties from the Western Regions have soft waists, white skin and beauty, and they can play, play, play and sing in everything. These years, they have taken the lead in the entertainment industry in Daqin.

The greatest attraction to a man is always women and wealth.

Hezhong has both, not to mention the prisoners, the hot-blooded teenagers in Daqin are all ready to move.

So Han soon became a paradise for adventurers.

The scope of protection of Daqin laws is limited to the people of Daqin, and non-citizens of Daqin may not even be human in their eyes...

The hottest business in Han was not gold and gemstones, but slave trade.

The Sasanian Empire and the Roman Empire are fighting in the dark in the Mediterranean.

All ethnic groups around the Mediterranean were involved.

Prisoners of war and slaves were brought in from the Mediterranean Sea by carload after cartload.

Just one year after the establishment of the Han Kingdom, it prospered like a fire cooking oil, and became a transit point for trade between the east, west, north, and south.

The Sasanians bought silk, tea, paper, and lacquerware here, and the Romans bought armor, crossbow arrows, long spears, and ring-shoulders here...

There is no doubt that the highest productivity in this era is in the Central Plains. Western plate armor is a product of the Middle World after 1000 years. Bows and crossbows were passed down by the Mongols when they invaded the West. It was only after modern Britain was planted in India that it gradually replaced China.

After receiving military support from Great Qin, the Romans gained some advantages on the overall battlefield.

However, the Sasanians also acquired some military technology due to the battle with Daqin.

High saddles, double stirrups, these things are not high-tech, and you can basically learn them at a glance.

The Persian plateau has always been known for its abundance of powerful cavalry, and after improving the equipment, it is even more powerful.

On the Caucasus battlefield, Sasanian heavy weapons once defeated the Roman infantry phalanx.

But both sides went all out for the war.

The Romans also knew the weakness of cavalry and had been bringing in Germanic and Slavic cavalry to fight for the empire.

However, in front of the elite cavalry "undead" of the Sassanian Empire, barbarian cavalry such as Germanic, Celtic, and Slavic cavalry are still no match.

Just when the Roman Empire was in danger of losing its city and land, Diocletian suddenly appeared on the battlefield with a thousand cavalry regiments trained in the Han Dynasty. With a crossbow in his left hand and a lance in his right, he was fully armored and challenged the Sasanian "undead" army. .

The cavalry regiment not only fully learned from the Qin army in terms of equipment and tactics, but also inherited the Confucian principles of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, loyalty, filial piety, bravery and forgiveness".

The two sides fought in the dark, and finally Diocletian's new cavalry won the victory after paying a certain price.

Inspired the entire Roman Empire.

And this day was also recorded in the annals of Rome, known as "the end of the undead".

It was also from this day that Diocletian rose up in the military of the Roman Empire, like a savior, and gained great prestige, and Rome entered the stage of a comprehensive counter-offensive.

The cavalry regiment shined.

The Roman Empire also produced a new class-knights.

The rulers of the empire naturally welcomed the Confucian "loyalty and filial piety". In order to encourage the knights to fight the enemy bravely, Diocletian suggested imitating the Great Qin Dynasty and granting land to the knights to improve their status.

However, it was not easy to pass the matter through the Roman Council.

Rome, which has stood for hundreds of years, is also entering a period of decay. Of course, vested interests do not want anyone to compete for the cake in their hands.

So the knight was suppressed to a certain extent.

This move once again caused repeated occurrences on the frontline battlefield. The Sassanids gathered heavy troops and repelled the counterattack of the Romans. After more than a year of fighting, the two sides fell into a confrontation again.

The more forbidden something is, the greater the force of the backlash.

There is no doubt that this set of Confucian things is the standard universal value in this era!
Compared with the mandatory teachings such as the "Ten Commandments" taught in the West, Confucianism is more complete and gentle, and it is easier to be accepted by people.

As the gatekeeper of Confucianism, Du Yu instilled these things in the Roman cavalry when they were training them.

Some people have gone mad.

The knights enlightened by Confucianism secretly set up an organization to secretly promote the essence of Confucianism...

The more the confrontation, the greater the benefits for Han.

Food, livestock, ordnance, whatever you transport to the west, you can earn a lot of money.

During the East-West War, the Han Kingdom was as stable as Mount Tai, making all the merchants around see the strength of the Great Qin, and the river gradually became a safe haven for merchants. A large amount of wealth poured into the river, then into the Western Regions, and finally into the Central Plains...

Driven the great development of the Western Regions and Hexi.

After confronting each other for a long time, both Sasanian and Rome have come to terms with it, and spared no effort to win Daqin over.

No matter which side Daqin is on, it will become a nightmare for the other side.

All kinds of promises, all kinds of benefits come rolling in.

The Sasanian Empire was even willing to admit Daqin's possession of Hezhong.

However, Du Yu was extremely sober, determined not to choose sides, maintained neutrality, and would not participate in the war between the two sides.
