At the beginning of the 4th century, the once glorious Kingdom of Guishuang had already fallen into pieces, and North India was once again in a stage of political free competition. Finally, a small country in the Bihar region of the upper reaches of the Ganges took the opportunity to rise and, through the efforts of three generations, gradually unified North India. This country was ruled by the Gupta family and was historically known as the Gupta dynasty. The second ruler of the Gupta dynasty, King Hyuga (also known as Samadhra Gupta), was a prominent figure in this family, earning titles such as "Napoleon of India" and "King of Poets" for his literary and military achievements.
The first monarch was Chandra Gupta (reigned 320-335), whose country was located in Magadha, the old land of Longxing in the Peacock Dynasty. Perhaps inspired by the heroic predecessors of the Peacock Dynasty, Chandra Gupta also set ambitious goals. He merged this country through his marriage to Princess Kumarati of the Liche Kingdom, and the Princess's dowry was in the city of Fahrenheit and surrounding areas. Chandragupta established his capital in the city of Huashi, giving the Kingdom of Gupta a thriving fighting atmosphere, and many small states nearby surrendered to Gupta.
The Sea Protector is the crystallization of this strong alliance marriage. After his accession to the throne, he began to expand the territory of the Gupta Kingdom on a large scale. He first marched westward, conquering the upper reaches of the Ganges River and the eastern region of the Indus River basin, and then went eastward along the Ganges River, swallowing the rich and fertile Ganges Delta. The third step was to develop southward, conquering Orissa and the eastern part of the Deccan, and expanding its influence to the capital of the Palava Kingdom. Small countries with relatively backward civilization on the Deccan Plateau paid tribute to him one after another. The Alahaba stone pillar inscription, which praises and praises the important minister of the Sea Protector, Halixiana, still exists today, recording the violent destruction of nine tribal republics in western India by the Sea Protector, thus shocking the entire country. But some historians believe that the downfall of these nine countries caused the Gupta dynasty to lose its western barrier and later became unable to resist the invasion of the White Xiongnu. A more rational approach would be to make them submit to tribute or send a governor to take over. Of course, this is what Zhuge Liang said afterwards.
The Sea Protector also developed his influence on the sea, as far as the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Java, with the footprints of his envoys. Indian culture spread through trade and religion as a medium to many undeveloped lands in Southeast Asia, and took root. The 4th century was a crucial period for Indian civilization to advance into Southeast Asia, with almost all of Southeast Asia being reshaped by Indian civilization except for northern Vietnam.
The Sea Protector King, who established a vast country, proudly held a horse worship, which was a large-scale Brahmanic ritual that only the king who had completed the Great Conquest could hold. The sacrifice of horses was a tribute to the great achievements of the conquerors. The Sea Protector is known by European scholars as Napoleon in Indian history for his military achievements.
The political system of the Gupta dynasty also stabilized during the reign of the Sea Protector. The central regions of the empire, Bangladesh and Bihar, implemented a centralized system of power, while other regions were governed by governors or local princes, maintaining a semi independent state. Brahmin senior monks held a certain position in various levels of administrative institutions. Compared with other dynasties in Indian history or other countries in the world at the same time, the bureaucratic structure of the Gupta Empire was relatively simple, often with one person holding multiple positions, and there was no distinction between civil and military. The central government did not have a fixed army, and during battles, troops were provided by vassals from various regions. On the other hand, the people of the Gupta Empire had low tax burdens, lenient punishments, and a relatively simple customs.
Prince Hai Hu is a versatile figure in both literature and martial arts. In addition to arranging military and political affairs, he also has leisure time for poetic and artistic pursuits, and has created many poems, earning him the nickname of "Poet King". He placed great emphasis on scholars, rewarded academics, and supported culture. Many of his court ministers were famous scholars, such as the famous astronomer swine Ri, and the Sanskrit poet and dramatist Kalita Sa. King Haihu believes in Brahmanism and also adopts a tolerant attitude towards other religions, including Buddhism.
In 380 AD, King Hai Hu passed away and his son King Chaori (Chandra Gupta II) succeeded him to the throne. King Chaori was also a very capable emperor, who continued his campaigns in the south and north, completed the great cause of unifying North India, and pushed the Gupta dynasty to the peak of prosperity. However, at its peak, the territory of the Gupta dynasty was slightly smaller than that of the Peacock dynasty, and did not reach as far as the Peacock dynasty in the south and northwest. The Gupta Dynasty was an era of revival and prosperity of Brahmanism (also known as Hinduism after its revival), which left countless treasures in Brahmanism's philosophy, art, literature, sculpture, and more. After the mid-5th century, the Gupta Empire declined under the attack of the White Xiongnu. As the most accomplished monarch of the Gupta dynasty, the Sea Protector ranked 55th in the "100 Emperors Who Influenced the World Rankings".
The rise of the Gupta Dynasty was very similar to that of the Peacock Dynasty, both centered around the Huashi City area in the upper reaches of the Ganges River. They first marched into the Indus River basin, then conquered the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River, and finally made every effort to develop southward. This may be determined by the situation in India before medieval times: the area around the city of Fahrenheit is the most politically dynamic region, with a greater cultural identity in the Indus River basin, followed by the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River, and the farthest cultural distance in southern India. It is worth mentioning that the entrepreneurs of the Gupta dynasty, represented by the Sea Protector, although they were fierce in military affairs, they were practitioners of leniency and leniency in domestic affairs.
