Chapter 13: I Desire to Go West
Although Ying Zheng and Wang Jian had been back in their courtyard for half an hour, they still hadn't recovered from Zhao Heng's words just now.
The world is very big, in addition to Daqin, there are other countries in the world?
The Mauryan Empire, whose population was comparable to that of Great Qin, and whose territory was even wider than that of Great Qin.
The Roman Republic, the Kingdom of Macedonia, the Kingdom of Pontus, Carthage, and the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions......
There is also a country of Dawan that is rich in sweat and blood!
……
Ying Zheng and Wang Jian originally thought that as long as Daqin completely solved the external troubles of Lingnan, Baiyue, and Xiongnu, there would be no enemies of Daqin in the world.
But they didn't expect that the world was much bigger than they imagined.
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, I will live for another five hundred years!"
Ying Zheng's eyes are full of brilliance.
As Mr. Xiao said, he wants to create a Daqin where the sun never sets, so that every corner of the world has Daqin people who speak Daqin.
He believes that with Mr. Xiao here, whether it is to live for another 500 years or to build the Great Qin on which the sun never sets, it will definitely be realized.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao's words are too good, our Great Qin wants to conquer the whole world!"
Wang Jian said with a look of yearning and excitement.
As a military general, he should be proud of the horse leather shroud, and the battlefield is his stage.
Without war, generals would have no chance to make meritorious contributions.
Now, Great Qin has already destroyed the Six Kingdoms, although the remnants of the Six Kingdoms have never given up to restore the country, but no one dares to really raise the flag to rebel, even Baiyue and the Xiongnu, they only have the share of self-protection, and they dare not invade Great Qin at all.
Again, there is Meng Tian on the Great Wall, and Zhao Tuo is also available in Baiyue.
As a result, he hasn't really commanded his troops for many years.
Although the Wang family is a double family, their father and son have almost no possibility of becoming a knight with military merits.
But now, he knows that not only does the father and son have a place to use again, but also has the hope of becoming a knight with military merits.
Even, even his grandson Wang Li has a great possibility of being crowned a marquis with military merits in the future.
At that time, the Wang family will have three waits.
Regarding the thoughts of His Majesty the First Emperor beside him, Wang Qian, as a confidant and old minister, is confident that he can still understand a thing or two.
If you don't know what the little gentleman said, it's okay, now that you know, Your Majesty will definitely have the idea of taking it into your pocket.
Not to mention other countries, the population is comparable to that of Great Qin, the territory is wider than that of Great Qin, and even the Peacock Dynasty where rice can be harvested three times a year, Your Majesty will never let it go.
At that time, it is not very likely that His Majesty will personally conquer the army, and the power to command the army will most likely be handed over to his Wang family and the Meng family.
It is conceivable that the military merit of destroying such a great country, even if it is divided by the Wang family and the Meng family, will definitely not be less than the merit of destroying the six countries.
As for the possibility of not being able to capture the Peacock Dynasty, Wang Jian would not even think about it.
Great Qin's millions of elites, Qin's crossbow battle array, invincible, how could they be defeated?
What's more, with Mr. Xiao's Tianwei artifact Hongyi cannon, what kind of city gate can't be opened?
"Wu Chenghou, how do I compare with the Alexander the Great that Mr. Xiao said?"
Ying Zheng's gaze condensed slightly, and he asked Wang Qian.
"Your Majesty, that Alexander the Great, although he was born a hundred years earlier in His Majesty, with only 50,000 troops, he marched more than 10,000 miles eastward, but his exploits are far from being comparable to Your Majesty."
Wang Jian did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "It's a pity, if he can be born a hundred years later, the minister will definitely fight with him and raise the military prestige of my Great Qin." ”
"I want to go west!"
After a short silence, Ying Zheng said categorically.
Hearing his words, Wang Jian was first shocked in his heart, and then his eyes showed great joy, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The three generations of the minister's royal family are willing to be the vanguard of His Majesty and pacify countries outside the territory." ”
"Before that, I still need to worship Mr. Xiao as the prime minister, so that Daqin will no longer have internal worries."
Ying Zhengdao.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Wang Jian said again.
"One day, the Great Qin Dragon Banner will stand on every inch of land in the world!"
Ying Zheng raised his eyes to look at the west, looked at the universe, and said slowly.
I, the first emperor of the Great Qin, won the government, destroyed the six countries, unified the four seas, and became an emperor through the ages!
A hundred years ago, Alexander the Great's crusade to the east was unsuccessful.
A hundred years from now, my westward expedition will surely dominate the world!
……
Following.
Zhao Heng found Yingzheng early in the morning and planned to give the other party the first task.
"Little sir, when will we use troops against the Mauryan Empire?"
It's just that before Zhao Heng could speak, Wang Jian asked Zhao Heng a little impatiently.
Ying Zheng was also looking at Zhao Heng with burning eyes at this moment, as if as long as he said a word, he could immediately take down the Peacock Dynasty.
"Lao Wang, you're thinking about peaches to eat."
Zhao Heng glanced at Wang Jian a little speechlessly, shook his head and said: "Although the world is so big, I also want to go and see it, but my strength does not allow it, my walled city has unlimited potential, yes, but the plate is still too small after all, there are only three thousand city guards, how can I send troops to the Peacock Dynasty now." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, even if our chassis will get bigger and bigger in the future, if we want to promote all the existing systems in the Walled City, it will definitely not be difficult. ”
It's not that he's too cautious, but he knows very well that in everything he does, he must ensure that his strength is strong enough, otherwise, he will kill himself.
Shang Ying's change of law, although the Great Qin far surpassed the Six Kingdoms, but he himself ended up with a tragic ending without a corpse.
Why?
It's very simple, because his changes infringed on the interests of most aristocratic families.
Zhao Heng now only has a mere walled city, and the total is only more than 10,000 villagers, so it will naturally not be difficult to implement any system.
After all, he has now become a living saint in the minds of almost all the villagers, and here, even His Majesty the First Emperor is not as effective as him.
When his territory in the future is large enough, and even completely controls the entire Great Qin, and then implements various new systems like now, he will naturally encounter all kinds of troubles.
Not to mention anything else, the mere fact that universal education alone will make him vulnerable to crazy assassination anytime and anywhere.
You must know that even Yingzheng, who has unified the Six Kingdoms, is still often assassinated by the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
Especially Zhang Liang, who has a national enmity and family hatred with Yingzheng, I am afraid that he is thinking about revenge all the time.
And if Zhao Heng wants to popularize education, he will definitely touch the interests of almost all aristocratic and wealthy families.
It is safe to say that even if he defects to Yingzheng now and even gets the same rights as Li Si, if he dares to directly promote the popularization of education throughout the country, then he will definitely die a miserable death.
The ban on bamboo slips on paper alone is enough to make him stand on the opposite side of countless aristocratic and wealthy families.
If you get another printing press, and everyone has a book to read, it's just a never-ending thing.
"Let's not talk about this for now, Lao Zhao, I came here today because I have a task to hand over to you."
Zhao Heng's eyes looked at Ying Zheng and said with a smile.
