Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1128 The Gupta Empire Divided
Chapter 1140 The Gupta Empire Splits

In February [-], the era of the Yellow Emperor, a delegation from the Puli Kingdom arrived in Yecheng, the capital of the Great Wei Federation Empire, and submitted an application for membership to Ran Ming, the emperor of the Great Wei Federation Empire.

After more than a month of discussion, the Great Wei cabinet approved the Puli Kingdom's application for joining with four votes in favor, two votes against, and one abstention.

The Kingdom of Pandya, a vassal state of the Great Wei Federation Empire, also submitted an application for joining just three months later, and Wei Guo officially approved the application for joining in August [-].

At this time, one year after the founding of the Great Wei Federal Empire, the Great Wei Federal Empire had five joined states: Xia Kingdom, Shang Kingdom, Zhou Kingdom, Puli Kingdom and Pandiya Kingdom.

In the first month of [-] in the era of the Yellow Emperor, Wa State formally applied to Wei State for joining Kyushu Island, Shikoku Island, and Honshu Island.However, this time Wei Guo did not agree immediately, and was still discussing. There was a coup d'etat in the Wa Kingdom. The original king of Tsushima and the current prefect of Tsushima County, Iwata Kofuku, led [-] samurai to launch a coup, attacking the queen of the Wa Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom. The civil war officially broke out. Five months later, all of Kyushu Island and most of Shikoku Island were lost, and they retreated to Honshu Island.

At this time, the Great Wei Federation Empire did not agree to the intervention request of Queen Taiyu of the Wa Kingdom, but recalled the Yingzhou Army back to the country for rest.

The year [-] of the Yellow Emperor was also an extraordinary year. The former prince of the Gupta Empire established the East India Kingdom in May in Galgona with the support of Devadatta, the governor of Galgona, and Yue Ai was officially enthroned as East India King, the Gupta Empire erupted internally.

The Great Wei Federation Empire immediately established diplomatic relations with the East India Kingdom, and announced the acceptance of the East India Kingdom's application for membership the next month, making the East India Kingdom the sixth member country of the Great Wei Federation.Immediately, the Gupta Empire expressed strong dissatisfaction, and then not only launched a military counterattack, but also sought cooperation intentions to form an alliance with the Sasanian Empire through diplomatic relations.

After learning the news, the Royal Secret Service immediately reported to the federal government. The prime minister of the federal government sent missions to the Sasanian Empire and the Gupta Empire, bluntly pointing out that "the alliance between the Sasanian Empire and the Gupta Empire threatened the Great Wei Federation For the strategic security of the empire, if the Sasanian Empire (Gupta Empire) insists on not changing it, the Great Wei Federal Empire will regard the Sasanian Empire (Gupta Empire) as a provocation against the Great Wei Federal Empire, and the Great Wei Federal Empire will retain the means of investigation.

Hooligans are cultured, but gods can't stop them.

Facing the diplomatic intimidation of the Great Wei Federal Empire, the Sasanian Empire chose to ignore it.

But at this time, the Northern Han Kingdom couldn't hold on in the severe cold weather.Finally chose to kneel to Wei Guo.The Northern Han State became the seventh member state of the Great Wei Federal Empire.The whole country of Wei State rejoiced, and there was no longer the threat of nomads in the north of Wei State.In fact, the Northern Han Dynasty has no way to threaten the Great Wei Empire now.After all, Wei State's railway has been built northward to the Hang'ai Mountains, and it is about to approach the heartland of the Northern Han State.

Facing the provocation of the Sassanian Empire, the Wei Federal Government held the first meeting of representatives of the federal member states stationed in Ye to discuss countermeasures. After three days of intense discussions, the Great Wei Federal Empire decided to use force to make the Sassanian Empire Come back from the wrong path.

However, the Gupta Empire expelled the envoys of the Sasanian Empire before the Great Wei Federal Empire formally launched war on the Sasanian Empire, announcing the severance of diplomatic relations with the Sasanian Empire.

Upon hearing the news, Ran Ming immediately knelt down. How stupid would he be to make such a decision?
It seems that the Great Wei Federal Empire has grown into the real overlord of the world. A super empire with a population of more than 3000 million has actually succumbed to the diplomatic intimidation of the Great Wei Federal Empire.Xie An, the second prime minister of the Great Wei Federation Empire, stood beside Ran Ming and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid no one will shake the position of the overlord of the Great Wei Federation Empire."

Wang Meng, who succeeded Xie An as the treasurer of the Great Wei Federation Empire, said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems?"

Although Ran Ming knew that India in later generations was a wonderful country, and there were endless strange incidents, and its military strength had always been regarded as a joke.However, in this time and space, the Gupta Empire is much stronger than those descendants of their descendants.Even though the Wei Empire navy has been cruising in the Indian Ocean, three member states of the Great Wei Federation declared war on the Gupta Empire, but the Gupta Empire did not show any attitude of wanting peace talks.Is the Gupta Empire really such a waste?the answer is negative.The expansion of the Gupta Empire from a small principality into a huge super empire in just a few decades is definitely not something that was blown out.

Ran Ming thought of this, and asked Wang Meng: "What is Jing Lue's opinion?"

"Great opinion doesn't count!" Wang Meng said, "Over [-]% of the current territory of the Gupta Empire is Samadhara Gupta, which just shows that Samadhara Gupta is a wise and powerful emperor, not a successful king. An ambitious and enterprising emperor will never give in to his opponent easily. I speculate here that Samadhara Gupta must have discovered the shortcomings or loopholes in the defense of our Great Wei Federation Empire , is going to take advantage of this incident to let our Great Wei Federal Empire relax our vigilance, relax, and he will give us a fatal blow."

"There seems to be no fatal loopholes in the defense of the Great Wei Empire, right?" Chen Yong, the deputy chief of staff of the Great Wei Federation Empire, said with a smile: "In fact, it is not without. There are actually three loopholes in the defense of the Great Wei Federation Empire. The first is We are three member states of the Fusang mainland. At present, the three member states are stationed in a total of 20 Great Wei Federation troops plus member guards, a total of less than 30 troops. Once the Gupta Empire organizes a huge navy and bypasses our maritime defenses, we can succeed. Sneak attack on the Fusang Continent. With the fighting power of the Gupta Imperial Army, once the surprise attack army exceeds [-] horses, the Fusang Continent Imperial Army will not be able to defend the three member countries. fall."

Chen Yong went on to laugh and said: "If we follow the capabilities of the Gupta Empire, it is not difficult to organize an army of 30 to 10 troops. The most difficult thing is that their navy is too weak, and their transportation capacity is seriously insufficient. We have estimated the Gupta Empire's navy and its transportation. Even if all the ships of the Gupta Empire are counted, they can only transport [-] horses and supplies under the condition of extreme overload. However, if such a large-scale fleet wants to sneak out of the Indian Ocean, I am afraid that only when the imperial navy collectively It’s only possible when you’re sleeping.”

Prime Minister Xie An also said: "Even if the Gupta Empire succeeds in attacking the Fusang Continent, so what? Even if it loses three federation member states, it will not hurt the foundation of the Great Wei Federation Empire!"

At this time, the three countries of Xia, Shang, and Zhou in the Fusang Continent are all in the creation stage. Not only can they not provide taxation and wealth for the federal empire, but they eat up a large number of special education funds every year.At present, the assimilation work for Fusang mainland is the top priority, so the high-input, low-output education and training makes the Wei State Federal Government pay a large amount of financial funds every year.However, because the Fusang Continent was a back road that Ran Ming was looking for for the Chinese nation, almost the whole country supported Wei Guo to run the Fusang Continent.At the same time, another upsurge of immigration in Wei State also began to take shape.The lesson of Wu Huanhua is so deep-rooted that no one dares to be careless.In this world, no one regrets medicine. Who would have thought that the state of Jin, which swept Wei, Shu and Wu, completed the unification of the world, and almost wiped out Xianbei, would decline rapidly in just a few decades?A large number of noble families from the north and the south unanimously brought the children of the general family, with a backup family tree, to spread branches and leaves in the Fusang mainland.In the 480th year of the Yellow Emperor era, Wei Guo received a total of [-] immigration applications.By the end of the fifth year of [-] in the era of the Yellow Emperor, this number had increased to more than [-] copies, and it had increased to dozens of times in three years.

However, for the huge Wei Federation Empire, the gains and losses of the Fusang Continent cannot affect the operation of the empire.Chen Yong pointed to the huge sand table of the Great Wei Federation Empire and said: "The second loophole in our empire's defense is actually the Indochina Peninsula. The troops of our Great Wei Federation Army stationed in the three states of Central South are only the Annan Army, Zhennan Army, and Zhengnan Army. Army and the Fourth Army of the Southern Army, seven infantry divisions, two light jungle combat divisions and three cavalry divisions, a total of twelve divisions with more than 14 troops. These troops usually suppress indigenous rebellions and maintain local law and order. , but once the Gupta Empire breaks through its naval defenses and lands on the Indochina Peninsula, I am afraid that the four armies that are usually scattered in the Indochina Peninsula will be defeated one by one by the Gupta Empire army before they can gather in time."

In fact, both Chen Yong and Prime Minister Xie An had to admit that the natives in the Indochina Peninsula were very tenacious, and they were not good at fighting head-on, but they played jungle guerrilla warfare like ducks in water.Today, the law and order in the three states of the Indochina Peninsula, counties and cities are acceptable, but some remote mountainous areas and forest areas are the paradise of the Indochina Resistance Army.If the resistance of the indigenous resistance army in the Indochina Peninsula is completely eliminated, it may not be possible in less than ten years, or even longer.Unless, like the construction of the northern railway artery, the empire also used railways to divide the Indochinese Peninsula into several regions, and used roads and railway networks to compress the range of activities of the indigenous resistance army, trap the indigenous resistance army to death, and starve to death in the mountains and forests .However, this is very difficult. The key is that the land in the Indochina Peninsula is humid, the weather is hot, and the crop growth cycle is short. The indigenous resistance army can completely cultivate land and buy properties to achieve self-sufficiency.

Another point, which Chen Yong did not say, is that because of Hinduism, the Gupta Empire had a certain base of believers in the Indochina Peninsula, and Taoism failed very well on this point.In fact, in the external expansion of the world's three major religions, they all use swords in one hand and knives in the other hand. Believers live and unbelievers die.So they completed a rapid worldwide expansion.If you adopt a gentle missionary situation, you can look at how the Holy See preached in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, they spent three or four hundred years and did not develop millions of believers.Taoism, which uses gentle methods and mainly voluntary preaching, cannot compete with Hinduism at all.If the army of the Gupta Empire officially landed on the Indochina Peninsula, the Buddhist soldiers accompanying the Gupta Empire army would immediately be able to confuse a large number of indigenous people to rise up against the tyranny of the Great Wei Empire. is a nightmare.

Chen Yongdao: "The third is the Anxi Protectorate of the Great Wei Empire. The territory of the Anxi Protectorate is too large, and the Anxi Army is too small. The Anxi Army with four steps, three cavalry and seven divisions is simply unable to defend many It covers an area of ​​700 million square kilometers. Once the Gupta Empire army goes north, there will definitely be places that Anxi cannot take care of. Once it falls, it may deal a big blow to the prestige of the empire."

Wang Meng said: "Actually Meng is most worried about Anxi. After staying there for five years, I know that the place is calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent. It is very sharp, and usually depends on the Anxi Army to deter the various ministries. Once there is a problem with the Anxi Army, I am afraid that most of the Anxi Army will change hands in one day."

Ran Ming nodded. Wang Meng's worries were not unreasonable. During the Great Tang Empire, the Tang Dynasty lost [-] miles of land just because of the defeat in the first battle of Talas.For the Anxi Protectorate, it is useless to adopt the rule of benevolence and righteousness. The only way to rule is kingly and overbearing. Who said that for thousands of years, the ethnic groups and tribes here have only recognized fists?
Ran Ming suddenly said in surprise: "It turns out that the Gupta Empire wanted to play a trick for me, and was almost deceived by Samadhara Gupta!"

In fact, it was too late for Ran Ming to wake up.The Great Wei Federation Empire is too far away from the Gupta Empire. The distance makes it difficult to know the information that happened tens of thousands of miles away.

In fact, Samadhara Gupta was indeed playing tricks. On the one hand, he also knew that the Gupta Empire was seriously infiltrated by Wei State intelligence personnel because of the love of the moon and the problems of private trade.In order to paralyze the Wei Federation Empire, Samadhara Gupta not only ordered the beheading of the envoys of the Sasanian Empire, but also drove the envoys stationed in the Gupta Empire away from the Gupta Empire.Sure enough, the Great Wei Empire fell for it. In fact, this trick was just a deception. Samadhara Gupta sent the northern governor, Bintosara Gupta, to Ardashir-Khwarrah, the capital of the Sasanian Empire. , formerly known as Gul, now Firuzabad).Meet the Sasanian Emperor.

The emperor of the Sasanian Empire at this time was Shapur II, Shapur II (Shapur II, 309-379), the king of the Persian Sasanian Dynasty (reigned 309-379).He was one of the most outstanding statesmen and military strategists of his time.He revived Persia's national power and military prestige, and adopted a series of positive domestic and foreign policies, making Persia the most authoritative country at that time.Of course, his best thing is that during his reign, he maintained an oppressive attack on the Roman Empire for a long time, and during the war, he successively killed two emperors of the Roman Empire.Julian and Jovian.The strength of the Roman Empire is universally recognized, but the Sasanian Empire had only one-eighth of the population of the Roman Empire, and its territory was only slightly larger than one-third of the Roman Empire.But despite this family background, they were able to suppress the Roman Empire and beat them hard.

Shapur II was an out-and-out military strategist and statesman, and he was not angry because the Gupta Empire Samadhara Gupta publicly announced that he had broken off diplomatic relations with the Sasanian Empire. Gupta had a secret conversation.However, the content of the secret meeting has not been announced, so it is not known how Bintosara Gupta persuaded Shapur II. Anyway, it was a huge plan to deceive the world, and it was released like this.
