Chapter 275: The martial virtue is overflowing!

Canopy.

[Obviously, Rome had a misunderstanding of the Han people's love of peace.]

[Rome may not know that the Han Dynasty at that time was the only powerful empire in the world whose martial virtues could be compared with Rome! ]

[The Han Dynasty's military system is even more advanced than Rome's! ]

[It is because both countries have extremely abundant martial virtues. 】

[So many netizens expressed regret: It is a pity that the two most powerful countries in the world at that time did not fight each other! ]

【Let’s take a look at the big man first. 】

[The martial virtues of the Han Dynasty are the highest in the entire history of China. ]

[The Qin and Han empires were the remnants and continuation of the Warring States system. ]

[The aristocratic politics and military system of the Warring States period were inherited and expanded throughout China.]

[The entire country has been turned into a large war machine! ]

【Take a long-term view and look at the entire history of the Qin and Han dynasties. 】

[You can see that the martial virtues of the two dynasties were online throughout. ]

【In the late Eastern Han Dynasty. 】

[The pursuit of war has even reached a somewhat perverted level.]

【And because the Qin and Han empires were too full of martial virtues and too fond of war. 】

[This caused the countries surrounding the Han Dynasty to tremble in fear.]

[Regarding the Han envoys' missions, they were causing trouble everywhere and deliberately looking for trouble.]

[Conspiracy to overthrow the regime of another country and insult the king of another country? ]

[Too many, no need to say more. ]

[Until a few years before the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Chen Tang could still say: Anyone who openly offends the mighty Han will be punished no matter how far away they are! ]

【To modern people, this sentence is a morale booster. 】

[But for the small countries surrounding the Han Dynasty at that time, it was simply a death sentence! ]

【Whether it is the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty. 】

[Even at the end of the dynasty, it still had an overwhelming advantage over the surrounding countries. ]

【So there has always been a saying. 】

[Countries often perish due to weakness, but the Han Dynasty alone perished due to strength! ]

[And the Han Dynasty also inherited the military system of the Warring States Period. ]

[Every time a war was fought, participants were rewarded generously, with land and official positions given to them.]

[For example, in the Battle of Mo Nan, the Han Dynasty won a great victory. ]

[After this battle, Emperor Wu of Han took out half of the national treasury's savings to reward the soldiers of the three armies.]

[In the expedition to Dayuan, each soldier will receive a reward of 40,000 coins.]

[More importantly, the Han Dynasty also retained the Warring States period's system of military merit promotion.]

[Joining the army and fighting in wars became almost the only way for ordinary people to rise up at that time. ]

[Fighting wars brings both money and titles, which has led to an extreme war frenzy among the entire Han Dynasty! ]

[Military families emerge in endlessly. ]

[Every time the imperial court issued a war mobilization order. ]

[Like wolves and tigers, eager to achieve success, the soldiers rushed forward with a roar. ]

【People harbor anger, as if they are avenging a personal vengeance. 】

[And under the unified dynasty system of the Han Dynasty, every bit of national resources could be fully mobilized to the war.]

[The Battle of Mobei between Han and Xiongnu. ]

[The Han army dispatched 100,000 cavalry! ]

[There are 140,000 pack horses responsible for logistics and transportation alone! ]

[In the expedition to Dayuan, 100,000 cattle, 30,000 horses, and tens of thousands of camels were mobilized.]

【For any country in the world at that time. 】

[The materials that the Han Dynasty can mobilize are astronomical. 】

[Rome should have no chance of winning against a superpower empire that excels at total warfare, right? ]

The sky curtain further tells the story of the Han Dynasty's abundant military strength.

This also aroused heated discussion among the audience.

"10 cavalrymen, it's scary just to think about it! There are not many dynasties in later generations that can really deploy 10 cavalrymen!"

"What a great martial virtue! Off the charts!"

"One Han against Five Barbarians!"

"Fighting for the country, but like taking revenge? It's horrible."

"Han Confucianists admired Gongyang Confucianism and were full of martial virtues."

"The mobilization power of the classical empire is so terrifying!"

"The result of the nationalization of salt, iron and coinage during Emperor Wu of Han."

"The advantages of concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks."

"The Three Kingdoms is the remaining power of the Han Empire."

"So the Han people are the orthodox fighting nation?"

"H. Guderian, Get Rid of the Disease!"

"Roma: I fight a big man? Zundu is fake?"

But Tianmu changed the subject.

[Roman has no chance of winning against a tough guy with exaggerated statistics and who is as fierce as a wolf or a tiger? ]

【Not really! 】

[As the leader of Western civilization, Rome's land was not given for free.] [The strength of Rome's military power is reflected in many aspects.]

[One of its most notable features is that Rome was often able to make military innovations that were ahead of their time.]

[This gave the Roman army a huge advantage over the surrounding enemy countries.]

[Rome, a land power, was once beaten by the trading city-state of Carthage in a naval battle.]

[The result was the innovative design of the Raven warship, which transformed the naval battle into a land battle on the deck.]

[With this move, we gained control of the sea. ]

[Various innovative behaviors in wars, based on the enemy and the form of war, are not uncommon throughout the military history of Rome.]

[It can be said that every major defeat of Rome, as well as large-scale conquests. ]

[They are all pregnant with new military innovations. ]

[The Roman army and the Han army were completely different in form, and the Roman army had very few cavalry.]

[Although there were no stirrups at that time, the Western Han Dynasty had already used cavalry on a large scale and made cavalry play an important role in war. ]

【And here in Rome. 】

[Due to their military system and natural conditions, they have very few cavalry. ]

【So when we talk about the Roman army. 】

[Everyone thinks of the image of heavy infantry. ]

[After all, the main battlefields of the Roman army were either the Mediterranean, the mountains, or the forests. ]

【On these battlefields.】

[The cost-effectiveness of heavy infantry is really invincible. 】

[Although the main force of the Roman army was infantry, Rome was at the level of military technology at the time. 】

【Take infantry to a new level! 】

[Before the Marian reforms, Rome's army came from the conscripted citizen militia.]

【Roman citizens according to their social status and property status. 】

【Assigned to different military posts.】

[The richest citizen soldiers serve as heavy infantry.]

[Citizens with little money serve as lightly armed auxiliary infantry. ]

[What if you are a poor person who can't even afford armor? ]

[Then I can only hold the javelin and act as a mood-setter around the battlefield. ]

[The form of citizen militia originated from ancient Greece. ]

[What would happen when the citizen militia system met the Romans who were very patriotic, very good to Rome, and full of martial virtues? ]

【Citizenship is a social identity and also a privilege.】

【Roman citizens often have an extreme sense of superiority. 】

[The citizen militia system allowed Rome to sustain very heavy casualties and gave Rome a very strong mobilization capability.]

[Even in the face of a series of defeats. ]

[It is still possible to mobilize waves of elite soldiers. ]

[Especially in early Rome, like many other city-states, the entire city was a large military camp! ]

[These well-trained citizen soldiers, who own their own property, are all martial and often undergo combat training.]

[It can be said that his martial virtue is extremely abundant. 】

[When Rome was just rising, it was attacked by the famous Greek conqueror King Pyrrhus. ]

【At that time, the Roman army dispatched 20,000 men in the battle. 】

[As a result, 7,000 people were killed and 2,000 were captured.]

[The loss of nearly half of the troops in the first battle was extremely tragic. 】

[But Pyrrhus also lamented: If there are a few more victories like this, I am afraid no one will be able to return home with me. ]

【And King Pyrrhus felt his scalp tingling when he saw this. 】

[Except for the huge losses that were called Pyrrhic victory.]

[He also discovered that almost all the wounds of the dead Roman soldiers were on their chests! Not on their backs!]

【In a losing battle, no one escaped! 】

【King Pyrrhus was frightened and wanted to negotiate for peace.】

[But it was rejected by Rome, the losing party. ]

[During the peace talks, Pyrrhus's envoys saw that the city of Rome, which had just suffered a disastrous defeat, was in good order.]

[A large number of citizens rushed to sign up to join the army and organize a new army.]

【Later, when he encountered Hannibal, one of the four great generals in the West. 】

【Rome also suffered many disastrous defeats.】

[Hannibal annihilated more than 100,000 Roman legions in three major battles, including the Battle of Cannae! ]

[Among them, the Battle of Cannae killed 70,000 elite Romans in one day.]

[However! Rome, with every household in mourning, still refused to negotiate. ]

【Roman Announcement: Rome never negotiates peace in a war it has not won.】

【After a series of disastrous defeats, Rome implemented a strategy of clearing the countryside. The senators donated money and materials and quickly organized a new army to firmly defend. 】

【And in the war that followed. 】

【Continuously organize more troops and turn the tide of the war step by step. 】

[It must be admitted that this is a system of military conquest by citizen militias.]

【In the process of Rome rising from a small mountain village to a huge republic. 】

【It played a huge role.】

When the comments on the barrage saw this, they also started to speak out.
