My Inseparable House Guests

Chapter 543 Sparta! ! !

An Ruoxi was also relieved to have such a heavyweight up host to support the stage. Afterwards, they went out to have a meal, and they agreed to meet again before the performance started tomorrow afternoon.

After waking up the next day, he invited the landlord's family to have dinner, and Fang Ze waited at home until about five o'clock, hoping to wait until this week's guests came, settle them down, and then go to Xiao Hei's place.

But I didn't expect Fang Ze to wait until 5:30, and Fang Ze didn't wait for this week's guests.

"What the hell is Big Meow doing?" Fang Ze came out of the room and made sure that there was no one outside the door.

"It's human." Fang Ze looked at a few ant nests by the side of the road, thinking that if the guests who came this time were a lot of ants, it would be understandable for him not to see them. But Big Meow has confirmed that all the guests who came this time are human beings, so even if a group of dwarfs came, Fang Ze could still see them as long as he was not blind.

There is no way, the guests have not come, Fang Ze plans to drive to Xiao Hei's place first, if the guests do arrive, Xiao Hei's place is also a pretty big venue, and it will not be crowded.

After getting on the Wuling Hongguang Batmobile, Fang Ze drove on the road. Halfway through the drive, there was a loud noise from behind the seat, and then someone called him from behind, "Hi, may I ask that you are our landlord?" ?"

Hearing the voice, Fang Ze quickly adjusted Wuling Hongguang to automatic driving, and then let the front window emit a holographic projection to fake the illusion that someone was driving, and then turned to look behind the head.

Fang Ze was hanging at the back, and the curtain blocking the back seat and the expanded space was lifted by a man with a strong chest, whose chest muscles definitely surpassed his own little boy.

"Hello, you can call me Fang Ze." Fang Ze knew that this week's guest came over suddenly, so he hurried over to say hello.

"Hi, my name is Leonidas." The man with short hair and beard held out his hand to Fang Ze.

"Hello, hello." Fang Ze responded enthusiastically, while wondering why the name sounded so familiar.

While talking with this stranger, Fang Ze walked into the expansion space inside the Wuling Hongguang Batmobile.

Then, Fang Ze discovered a man with hundreds of pectoral muscles that could make girls only envy and hate A, wearing only big underpants and a red cape.

This is so special! ?

Fang Ze suddenly remembered that he had heard the name of the man Leonidas there.

Three hundred warriors of Sparta!

In 480 B.C., King Xerxes I of Persia led an army of 500,000 to attack Greece on a massive scale, approaching the Pass of Thermopylae all the way south. King Leonidas of Sparta personally led the Greek coalition forces to guard the dangerous Thermopylae Pass, but the Greek defenders were quickly defeated. Leonidas ordered the main force of the Greek coalition forces to retreat quickly, and he personally led 300 Spartans. The Bada warriors fought bloody and desperate battles with tens of thousands of Persian troops in the rear. In the end, all 300 warriors died in battle, and the Persian army paid a painful price of 20,000 deaths and injuries in the battle of breaking Hot Springs.

Of course, the above is the plot of the movie, not the real history.

In the real battle of Thermopylae in history, not only 300 Spartans were guarding Thermopylae, but also more than 7,000 Greek allied forces fought side by side with the Spartans. According to the traditional Spartan army formation, the Spartans' elite 300 well-armored heavy infantry are in the middle line, while the second line and two wings are served by the Greek allies.

Although this battle also caused heavy losses to the Persian army, it was definitely not as exaggerated as the 300,000 versus 500,000 in the movie, which caused 20,000 casualties.

After all, even in ancient China with a large population, there were very few battles that mobilized more than 500,000 people at one time, and they were basically famous battles with detailed records in history.

Therefore, although Persia used the method of a lion fighting a rabbit, it invested a huge force of 150,000 to 180,000 troops, including the navy and army, in the small Greece. But these forces were actually scattered across the Asia Minor peninsula and many other battlefields. Therefore, the troops really invested in Thermopylae Pass,

Definitely not half a million.

Maybe not even a hundred thousand.

After all, from ancient times to the present, only logistics has restricted the scale of war. According to the conditions at the time, mobilizing 500,000 people to attack a checkpoint at one time would require several times more civilians to ensure the supply of food, and the Persian expedition at that time did not have such investment capacity.

But even so, Thermopylae is a battle worth recording in history, because the Spartan warriors who showed their prowess at Thermopylae are so legendary.

We all know that Greece is composed of city-states. And Sparta is one of the city-states, and for a long time, it competed with Athens for the position of the boss.

Unlike Athens, which has created many great arts, Sparta is a city-state where all citizens are soldiers. Every citizen in the city-state must receive warrior training from an early age, and unqualified citizens will be cruelly eliminated.

The so-called Spartan spirit is the warrior spirit, that is, not about sacrifice but about victory.

Like the old Spartan woman, when the slave reported to her that her five sons had died in battle, she shouted, "Slave, who asked you this, I want to know if the battle has been won."

Such a city-state and nation with distinct personalities and characteristics would definitely be recorded in history even if there was no Battle of Thermopylae.

But after Wen Qing finished talking, I also want to talk about the real history.

Although Sparta sounds very emotional. But Fang Ze didn't want such a city-state or nation to appear in China at all.

Most movies and comics describe Sparta as a fighter nation pursuing freedom, but this is a joke in history, because the Spartans are the city-states that brought out the ugliness of slavery to the fullest.

The so-called Spartans are the Dorians who wiped out the original Spartan aborigines, turned them into slaves, and then captured several city-states and plundered an extremely large population.

If it is an ordinary city-state, even if the population is plundered, some of them will be converted into aboriginals and some will be converted into slaves, but the Spartan city-state resolutely converts all the population except its own people into slaves. For Helotes, to feed the Spartans who did not cultivate at all.

Not only do Heilos have no human rights, but they are also directly used as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's projected weapons. Even Helots, who have made great contributions in the war, get a promise of freedom, and then gather together to slaughter, and laugh at the childish wishful thinking of these Helots by the way.

You must know that even the Romans only used prisoners of war and slaves who made mistakes as gladiators, and they would not slaughter for no reason like the Spartans. Compared with the Persians who are portrayed as evil villains in the movie, the true image of the Spartans is more in line with the villains.
