"Taifu's strategy is incomparable! If we can unify the entire southwest this time, how vast will our Great Qin territory be! This achievement is not at all inferior to the original unification of the Xiongnu, Donghu, Fuyu, and Sushen four tribes. Fusu had tears in his eyes, he was already so excited that he couldn't help himself, and his whole body trembled.

In the entire southwest, the territory of the three tribes of Qiang, Yueshi, and Wusun is so vast that they are not inferior to the three provinces.

If he was unified by Great Qin during his own imprisonment this time, what kind of achievement would it be?

Fusu's heart was surging, and when he got up, he respectfully bowed to Li Yang: "The strategy of the southwest of Great Qin, please Taifu!" ”

Li Yangfeng smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Your Highness is serious, it is the duty of a courtier to plot for Daqin." ”

Fusu shook again, he knew in his heart that as long as there was Taifu's assistance, Qiang, Yueshi, and Wusun would definitely achieve unification.

At this time, Zhou Bo said: "If the Yueshi, Wusun, and Qiang are all unified by my Great Qin, then Loulan and other countries in the Western Regions, my Great Qin Iron Cavalry can all sweep away!" ”

Li Yang nodded: "What General Zhou said is extremely true!" The countries of the Western Regions, none of them are strong, how can they match my Great Qin Iron Cavalry. This monarch can guarantee that wherever my Great Qin Iron Horse goes, all the countries in the Western Regions will be subordinated to Great Qin. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes were full of excitement and pride.

Indeed, west of Great Qin, the Weiyue clan was the strongest.

It can be said that the countries of the Western Regions are said to be the "Ten Kingdoms of the Western Regions" in terms of numbers. However, the so-called Ten Kingdoms, in fact, with their combined strength, can only have a tie with the Yue Clan.

And if the Yue clan is destroyed by Great Qin, and Wusun also submits to Great Qin, then Great Qin's iron cavalry can directly conquer the ten countries of the Western Regions, and no country can stop it at all.

Hearing this, Fusu became excited again, and said excitedly: "Quick, quickly place the Qin ball in the center of the hall!" ”

The so-called Qin ball is naturally the globe that Li Yang dedicated to Qin Shi Huang. Since then, the globe has been placed on the side of the Qilin Hall.

The palace people immediately moved the desk where Qin Qiuyi was placed to the center of the main hall.

Fusu hurriedly got up, came to the center of the main hall, moved his eyes to Qin Qiuyi, turned Qin Qiuyi slightly, and then pointed to the Western Regions, and said excitedly: "If the countries of the Western Regions are also ruled by my Great Qin, the territory of my Great Qin is so vast that there is no country in the world that can be compared." In this way, further west, there is the Great Xia Kingdom (Middle East), and to the southwest is the Mauryan Dynasty (India), and I don't know what the strength of these two countries is. ”

Obviously, Fusu was full of enthusiasm at this time, and the implication was that if the strength of the Great Xia Kingdom and the Peacock Dynasty was not good, they also had the urge to destroy them together.

The kingdom of Bactria, that is, the kingdom of Bactria (about 256 BC ~ 145 BC), is also known as the "Greek kingdom of Central Asia". Chinese historical texts refer to the region of Bactria, which was largely controlled by the Cypriot tribes, as Bactria Bactria .

A slave state established by Greek colonists in Central Asia in the middle of the 3rd century BC (in the western Pamir region of present-day northwestern Tibetan Plateau, i.e., Afghanistan west of present-day Pamir). The capital was located in Bhaktra (present-day Balkh, Afghanistan).

The Bactria region was the transportation hub of ancient Central, South, West and East Asia.

In fact, the strength of the Great Xia Kingdom is indeed not strong, because historical records record that the number of residents of the Great Xia Kingdom is only more than one million, and they make a living from farming, are good at business, and have weak troops. About 139~129 BC, the Dayue people in the Ili River and Chu River basins moved westward, and Daxia submitted to the Dayue clan.

If the Yue clan moves westward, they will be able to destroy Great Xia, let alone face the Great Qin Empire with a million-strong army?

It's just that Li Yang has no intention of directly attacking the Middle East at this time.

After all, you have to take everything slowly, one step at a time.

If the Western Regions are not stabilized, it makes no sense to continue westward and attack the Middle East.

The Mauryan Empire (India), on the other hand, did not need to rush to attack.

One is the Mauryan Dynasty, at present, it is inconvenient to deal with Great Qin, it borders Tibet, and it is difficult for the Qin army to enter Tibet, so how to attack the Mauryan Dynasty?

Second, the Mauryan Empire was not as weak as the countries of the Western Regions, and at its peak, except for the southern tip of the Indian Peninsula, it stretched from the southern foot of the Himalayas in the north, to Mysore in the south, from the western boundary of Assam in the east, and to the Hindu Kush Mountains in the west, all of which were incorporated into the territory of the Mauryan Empire.

Especially in military affairs, the Mauryan Empire had 30,000 cavalry, 600,000 infantry, and 9,000 war elephants, and its military strength was already very strong.

Let's ask, with five or six hundred thousand troops, and separated from Great Qin in the Himalayas, it is impossible for Great Qin to attack.

Therefore, Li Yang immediately said: "Your Highness can't be in a hurry, after the Western Regions are settled, the western trade route can be opened, and the economy and currency will dominate the world, and it is also the king's plan to dominate the industry." ”

Joke, what's the use of laying down territory? No matter how vast the territory is, you have to be able to rule.

The Qin army had limited troops, and as soon as the territory became infinitely larger, the Qin army was assigned to garrison all over the world.

At that time, the number of Qin troops will no longer pose a powerful threat to some regions and foreign tribes, so that Great Qin can rule for a year, three years, ten years, but what about twenty years? What about fifty years?

Therefore, it is better to have a strong and stable territory than to divide and merge with it.

As I said before, the Huaxia people are the blood of Yan and Huang, and the descendants of Yan and Huang are very glorious titles in ancient times, and many strong people in ethnic minorities are scrambling to get involved with the two emperors of Yan and Huang, if anyone goes to the minority and says that they are not the descendants of Yan and Huang, they will definitely copy the guy and beat you so that you don't even know your mother.

For thousands of years, the concept after Yan and Huang has long been a cultural concept that transcends ethnic groups, so whether it is the Baiyue in the south, or the nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu and Donghu, including the Yueshi and Wusun countries in the Western Regions, they originally regarded themselves as the descendants of Yan and Huang.

The four Yi of Great Qin all regard themselves as the descendants of Yan and Huang, and coupled with the uniqueness of the territory of the Great Qin Empire, they have a geographical natural barrier. The southeast is facing the sea, the north is the land of ice and snow and extreme cold, the west is the desert, and the southwest is the Himalayas.

The territory of China, with these geographical natural barriers, is difficult for foreigners to invade, when the internal consciousness is unified, which also creates the division and integration of the territory of China, it must be unified.

It is also based on such a foundation that Great Qin achieved great unification in terms of territory, ideology and people's hearts, and national consciousness. Then, it is not an exaggeration for the Great Qin Empire, or the Huaxia Clan, to last for thousands of years.

And once Great Qin always wants to rule other regions, it may be asking for trouble.

Daqin, once it contains Africans, Europeans, and different skin colors, you have to let them call themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, and let them have no backlash and purely dream.

When the skin color is different, the national consciousness cannot achieve unity, and the Great Qin will fall apart sooner or later.

In this case, it is the long-term plan of Daqin and even the entire Chinese nation to manage the Chinese territory in a down-to-earth manner, so that the ideology and consciousness of people of the same color can be harmonious, united, and integrated into one, so that the Chinese nation can always stand in this world.

In fact, the Yuan Dynasty is a prime example.

Both Kublai Khan and Genghis Khan fought in Europe, but they fought too far and too far to rule, and it was impossible to occupy them all the time. Therefore, the Yuan Dynasty continued to conquer different places by force, and finally chose to occupy the territory of China to rule for a long time, the reason is that the territory of China has a unique barrier geographically and can achieve long-term rule.

For Li Yang, there is a reason why it is said that among the four ancient civilizations, only China's history has not been disconnected.
