Chapter 152: World Forces

In BC, looking at the world, the most powerful countries are our Great Qin Empire and the Roman Empire, if the two powers collide, it must be Mars hitting the earth, which can turn the earth upside down.

However, the most powerful Roman era has not yet come at this time, the current Rome is still ancient Rome, Qin Shi Huang and Julius Caesar are not touchable, Caesar was born in 102 BC, and when he was born, Qin Shi Huang had been dead for 108 years.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that if the founding time of the Roman Empire is rewind by 200 years from 27 BC, the Roman legions that swept across Europe will also be wiped out by the Qin army in seconds, not to mention that the ratio of troops is that the Qin army is five against Rome, which is the chain mail that the Roman legion is most proud of, will also become a real sieve under the Qin army's ten thousand crossbows.

The long-range attack arms of the Roman legion are spearmen and archers, and the Qin army's three-stone crossbow has a range of 200 meters, a four-stone crossbow with a range of 250 meters, and a ten-stone crossbow with a range of 600 meters, that is, the Roman legion does not even have a chance to shoot long-range soldiers, let alone hand-to-hand combat.

What's more, the Qin army will not set up a duel with you at all, but a variety of tactics to fight with the Roman legions who are willing to fight only after they are willing to fight in a rigid formation, which is simply a robber breaking into a girls' school where the lights have been turned off.

Although in the era of Qin Shi Huang, it was difficult to find one that could compete with the Great Qin Empire in the world, but since Qin Shi Huang asked about it, Li Yang relied on the memory of later generations to find out a few imperial forces that had the ability to make Great Qin face it.

At that moment, Li Yang pointed to India and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there is an empire here, called the Peacock Dynasty. It is said that when the Mauryan Empire was at its strongest, it had 30,000 cavalry, 600,000 infantry, and 9,000 war elephants. Among the infantry, there are swordsmen, archers, and spearmen, and although their strength is not as good as that of our Great Qin, they should not be underestimated. ”

Although the current India is not good, I have to admit that the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India is still very good.

Sure enough, after Ying Zheng listened, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "It turns out that there is such a powerful empire in this world, and it is next to my Great Qin." ”

Everyone was also very surprised, because in their previous cognition, Great Qin was the strongest and supreme existence, and the four sides of Great Qin were all Siyi, that is, uncivilized minorities.

Who would have thought that just to the west of Great Qin, there would be a powerful empire with hundreds of thousands of troops?

To tell the truth, in the era of Qin Shi Huang, the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India was the only force that could make Great Qin look at it in this era.

Li Yang then moved his gaze to the Arab region, his eyes lit up slightly, this is the region with the largest oil reserves in later generations, if it can become the territory of China since ancient times, for future generations of China, there is nothing richer than owning this region.

Thinking of this, Li Yang pointed to the Iranian region in western Asia and said: "Here, there is also an empire called the Rest Empire, with a total population of about seven or eight million, so the number of troops is not too much, it would be good to have 100,000." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, obviously he didn't pay attention to this Rest Empire.

Li Yang continued to point to the Greek region and said, "There is a Macedonian kingdom here, and its strength is not much, at most forty or fifty thousand people, which is insignificant. ”

Li Yang remembered that the biggest thing that the Macedonian king named Philip V did in his life was to fight a battle of Kunoskfarai with the Romans, and his entire army was 40,000, and the Romans were 40,000 and 20 elephants.

As a result, Philip V lost, and the kingdom of Macedonia was finished.

Therefore, the strength of the Macedonian State can be seen to be forty or fifty thousand, which is for the hundreds of thousands of troops of Great Qin, this amount of troops, under the round of ten thousand crossbows fired by Great Qin, it is estimated that it will be done. Maybe there will be zero casualties in our army, which is very likely.

"Anything else?" Ying Zheng is obviously not interested in these small forces.

Li Yang nodded, and pointed to the Italian region and said: "There is also an ancient Roman Empire, which is stronger than the Macedonian Kingdom, and it is said that at this time it should be in a perennial war with the Macedonian Kingdom. ”

From 215 to 168 BC, ancient Rome launched three Macedonian wars, conquered Macedonia and controlled all of Greece. Through the Syrian war and diplomacy, it took control of parts of West Asia and built a great power that spanned Africa, Europe, and Asia and dominated the Mediterranean. Therefore, ancient Rome was still one of the most powerful forces in Europe.

Finally, Li Yang pointed to Tunisia opposite ancient Rome and said: "Here, there is another kingdom, called the Carthaginian Empire, with about 100,000 troops. ”

In fact, Hannibal, the leader of the Carthaginian Empire, must be familiar to everyone, and this Hannibal is the same era as Qin Shi Huang, this person and Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon and called the four major military commanders in Europe, but he has been fighting with the Romans, look at the battles they fought, you know that he is not the same level as Qin Shi Huang. At its peak, Hannibal took 90,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and dozens of war elephants to fight Rome, and when he reached the battlefield, only 20,000 infantry, more than 6,000 horseless cavalry, and a war elephant remained.

At the Battle of Zama, the Romans killed 36,000 Carthaginian men with 1,000 losses, and Carthage was in a state of collapse. Therefore, even if it is called the four major military commanders in Europe, in Li Yang's view, it is just a matter of ten thousand crossbows firing at once.

Ying Zheng nodded and continued to ask, "What else?" ”

Li Yang spread his hands: "No, these five are already the most powerful empire in the world." ”

Ying Zheng was stunned: "That's all?" ”

Li Yang nodded, he really only remembered that these forces were relatively large, and others like the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Dynasty were not worth mentioning, and in the eyes of Great Qin, they were completely scum.

Ying Zheng immediately laughed: "I still think that this world is so big, but it is only hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, if it weren't for the fact that they are separated from Great Qin by the sea, I must have swept these countries together when I unified the six countries ten years ago." ”

Ying Zheng really didn't brag about this, think about the Zhao army that Bai Qi killed just 400,000 people back then, if you look at it this way, it is the entire strength of several countries today.

Even the Qin army, which can be swept away by the Six Kingdoms, how could Yingzheng not have the confidence to sweep these "barbarian races"?

However, the reality is also true, in the countries of Europe, in every "decisive battle that determines fate", the people and horses dispatched by both sides add up to tens of thousands, and there are more than 100,000 people in the sky.

Meng Tian's eyes also lit up, because at this time he also saw the hope of sweeping the world, thinking that in the near future, he would lead the Qin army to really plant the black flag all over the world, what a great achievement?

He was excited at the moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard what Prime Minister Zhong said, when today, only the Peacock Dynasty is the strongest, as long as my Great Qin destroys this country and looks at the whole world, my Qin army will be invincible." ”

Ying Zheng nodded: "What General Meng said is extremely true, but this world is isolated by the sea or high mountains, and it is not easy to sweep through all countries right now." ”

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Li Yang said: "Your Majesty has the ambition to unify the world, and it is only a matter of time before the world is unified. ”

"Li Yang, how do you think it should be laid out?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said: "The world is divided into seven continents by the sea, if I want to dominate the world, for the sake of today, I must start to build warships, so as to be fully loaded with the Qin army in the future and cross the ocean for the needs of the expedition." Secondly, it is to start preparations, go north to destroy the Xiongnu and Donghu, control the grassland, and train the army and horses for the need of the expedition by land. In addition......"

"Your Majesty, please look!"

On the globe, Li Yang pointed out the Silk Road of the later Han Dynasty and said: "My Great Qin still needs to attack the Yi tribes such as Chao and Yueshi in the west, so that the Qin army can go west by land and expedition to the Anxi Empire, directly to the ancient Roman Empire and the Macedonian Empire." In this way, the expedition by sea and land will be able to quickly unify the world. ”

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, and found that the land expedition route pointed out by Li Yang was quite good to attack the Anxi Empire, and even directly advance into Europe.

Meng Tian on the side said: "The route of the westward expedition pointed out by the prime minister is indeed feasible, but now that the Hetao in the north has entered my Qin realm, and the north is a bitter cold land, is it necessary to rush to fight the Xiongnu?" ”

Li Yang said disapprovingly: "Taiwei, I said the day before yesterday that the Huns are a great disaster and must be eliminated in order to ensure the peace of the northern grasslands, otherwise there are hidden dangers in the north, and my Great Qin will not be able to go west for an expedition with all his might." Therefore, the Huns must be destroyed! ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked Liu Xi: "Recently, over there in the frontier, Wang Li has any news delivered?" ”

In fact, Ying Zheng no longer regards the Huns who have been driven to the extremely cold land as enemies, but there is a premonition that Li Yang said, and today he heard Li Yang propose to destroy the Huns again, so he wants to see Wang Li, who is guarding the frontier, what news has come recently.

At this time, Liu Xi hurriedly said: "Wang Li has just arrived this morning, Your Majesty wants to see it now?" ”

The Emperor nodded: "Fetch." ”

"Whoa!" Liu Xi hurriedly turned around and ran back to the apse, and soon after, he took a piece of music.

Ying Zheng took the concerto, opened the envelope, and his expression became weird......
