Chapter 580: Who to Eat Next (First Update)
The dynasties didn't even have time to please them, and in such a situation, not every sheep thought that the wolf lying next to them wanted to eat them next.
But Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai didn't think so, they all knew the treacherous Warring States era before Great Qin, and they all knew how Great Qin stood out from the other six powerful vassal states.
At that time, the land of Great Qin was almost full of vertical and horizontal families, Yin and Yang families, and politicians, but when the final Great Qin was almost a monopoly, many countries even imagined the plan of uniting with Great Qin to destroy other countries first, and then reaping the benefits from it, but they didn't know that this was exactly in the hands of Great Qin.
In this way, the weak and small countries did not really unite, and were finally broken by Great Qin one by one, and only then did they dominate the world.
And now that such a situation has reappeared, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai both know that Great Qin will definitely start their conquest in this land again, but they don't know when, and the tranquility before this storm will just make the other surrounding dynasties think that Great Qin will stop here and will not go further outside the Mauryan Dynasty.
When they all relaxed their nerves, Daqin could only make them pay a terrible price.
"In that case, we should also remind the monarch of Seleuc, otherwise if this guy has the idea that Great Qin will not continue to attack, things will not be easy to do."
Zhao Cheng is still very cautious, and this kind of caution is exactly what they need at this stage, at least at this time, Antiochus III must exist firmly in this place, so they are on the same starting line as Antiochus III.
After Zhao Cheng finished saying this, Hu Hai nodded, and signaled to a guard behind him, and the guard then exited the room, and then closed the door tightly, leaving only Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng inside.
"Sir, how is that going?"
"Judging from the current situation, it is still quite smooth, because the people who came forward are all from the Peacock Dynasty, so no one will know that this matter is related to us, and in less than two months, it is estimated that there will be a good result!"
Obviously, both of them knew what that incident meant, but in such a situation, no one said it, which was enough to show their caution about this matter.
"Okay, during this time, General Zhao Hu's body is basically going to heal, what I planned to do before will still be checked by General Zhao Hu himself, if it is someone else, I can't believe it, once it is known before the fact, the lives of the two of us will definitely be explained here."
"This matter is top secret, the real situation is only known to the three of us, Gongzi rest assured, whether it is Daqin, Xiongnu or Seleuc, they will not know, even those people of the high-ranking caste of the Peacock Dynasty who come forward don't know what our purpose is, what we want to use is just the wealth in their hands, and when they are used up, Zhao Hu will naturally deal with them."
When Zhao Cheng said this, Hu Hai nodded slightly, and then stopped asking about it, obviously saying less if he could.
After the two finished discussing, Zhao Cheng got up directly and went to the capital of Seleucus, the purpose of which was naturally to meet Antiochus III.
The Mauryan Dynasty was set up into three counties by Great Qin, and the original name was abolished, Antiochus III naturally already knew, originally with his way of thinking, Antiochus III didn't think this could represent anything, if he knocked down a city of another dynasty, and then became his favorite name, it would be very normal, right?
But Zhao Cheng came over at this time, which made him feel very bad, he knew what Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were most afraid of living on his territory at this time, of course, he had made a mistake.
In such a situation, if Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai had a premonition of danger, they would definitely inform themselves as soon as possible, although Seleuc's military strength was not comparable to that of Great Qin, but at least they could still fight for a while, so that they would not have to surrender directly as soon as they came.
"You mean that Great Qin has turned the Peacock Dynasty into its three counties, indicating that they are about to take action against us, the surrounding forces?"
Zhao Cheng faced Antiochus III, who almost never sold Guanzi, and came up and directly expressed his and Hu Hai's worries, he told Antiochus III that since Yinggao had been turned into the three counties of Great Qin by the Mauryan Dynasty, it indicated that the Peacock Dynasty had completely fallen under the control of Great Qin at this time.
Zhao Cheng introduced to Antiochus III about the melee of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States in the Central Plains, and how in the end, Great Qin ate the other six countries one by one, and finally embarked on the great cause of unification.
And now, it is only less than twenty years from that time, and in twenty years, although the emperor of Great Qin has changed from the first emperor to the current Yinggao, Zhao Cheng thinks that the meaning expressed by Great Qin in the war will definitely not be much different.
"The Qin people are warlike, this is a well-known thing in the territory of the Central Plains before, and now it is the bloodline that is in power, this warlike nature is of course indelible, since the Seleuc has had a fierce confrontation with Great Qin before, and has coveted some territories of the Peacock Empire, in my opinion and my son-in-law, the use of troops by Great Qin against the Seleucus is just a matter of time, the king needs to prepare early, and leaving a good way back for himself is the royal road!"
Antiochus III frowned when Zhao Cheng said this, of course he knew that Zhao Cheng definitely didn't come to him to fool him and provoke his relationship with Daqin, because he and Zhao Chengdu knew that even if he knew that Daqin wanted to beat him, he could only take some more passive measures, and it was impossible to strike first, needless to say, as soon as you went out of the territory of Seleuc, the Huns would have to give you a blow to the head, and it was not certain whether you could get to the territory controlled by the Great Qin.
"I will pay attention to what the two of you think, and you will continue to observe the movements of Great Qin and Xiongnu in the Mauryan Dynasty, and if there is anything wrong, you must inform me immediately!"
After saying this, Antiochus III motioned for Zhao Cheng to leave, obviously, he did not mean to discuss with Zhao Cheng how to deal with the trouble that might come.
Zhao Cheng also left the capital where Antiochus III was located, and the purpose of his trip was just to let Antiochus III have an impression of Daqin, of course, he would not think that Antiochus III would regard him as a cronie.
After Zhao Cheng left, Antiochus III gathered a group of his cronies at that time, and said the point of view put forward by Zhao Cheng, and after the generals heard it, almost all of them cried with sad faces, especially the generals who went to attack the Peacock Dynasty before, and they couldn't wait to get into the ground quickly, they thought that if they hadn't attacked the Peacock Dynasty, Seleuc would definitely make Daqin and the Xiongnu very jealous with such a strong strength, and now, The first person they must have wanted to kill was their Seleuc.
In such a situation, as long as an old man dressed as a civil official saw that the generals were silent, he slowly stood up, and then opened his mouth slowly.
"Your Majesty, I think that although what those two Great Qin people said has a certain amount of truth, it is not so urgent, and the reason why they say this is probably for themselves!"
After the old man finished speaking, Antiochus III nodded slightly and said: "What Mr. said is naturally reasonable, but in the current situation, only if my Seleu Dynasty is fine, they can be safe and sound in my Seleu city, so their reminder is for themselves, but at the same time, it is also for me Seleucus!" ”
"Will they want me to have a long-term hostility between Seleuc and the Xiongnu or Great Qin, and then do something unsavory behind my back?"
This old man was obviously not very at ease with Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai.
"Hmph, they are now under the close surveillance of the people under my command, Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu, except for Zhao Hu, who has just recovered from his injury, sometimes goes to the territory of the Peacock Dynasty to inquire about some news, the other two almost never leave the city, they are completely in the palm of my hand, what kind of waves can they turn over?"
For this matter, Antiochus III is still very confident, he thinks that the city and the outside are his eyes, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai can only stay quietly in this city, if they dare to do something else, they can only face being swept away by themselves, at that time, even if he has the identity of the younger brother of the current Great Qin Emperor, which dynasty dares to use this identity to make a fuss?
Of course, Antiochus III underestimated Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, underestimated their abilities, and underestimated the endurance they had cultivated over the years.
Yinggao's transformation of the Mauryan Dynasty into three counties not only had a great impact on the Mauryan Empire, but also produced a lot of changes to the territory of Great Qin, the most prominent of which is that more and more people of the Peacock Dynasty entered the territory of Great Qin from the Western Regions.
Some of them brought the goods of the Mauryan Dynasty to Daqin to trade to earn the difference, some specifically wanted to see what Daqin was like, and some of them were all on the territory of Daqin, wanting to see if they could settle in Daqin.
These people who want to settle the game in Daqin are very advanced in their thinking, and they obviously see that the Peacock Dynasty is just a subsidiary of Daqin, although the same Qin laws are used and the same weights and measures are unified, but the Peacock Dynasty is the Peacock Dynasty, the Peacock Dynasty is not the Great Qin, there are some intangible things, they will never be able to enjoy the same as the people in the territory of Daqin, so they came.
And for such a situation, Yinggao had already thought of it in advance, and under the auspices of Xiao He, they divided the various counties of Daqin into several levels according to the population and the amount of land.
In the lower ranks, that is, the places that urgently need to fill the population, as long as the people of the Mauryan Empire who can roughly understand the Great Qin dialect move their families, they will directly distribute houses and land, and give them a policy of tax reduction and exemption for one or two years.
But for the prosperous city where there is no shortage of people, such as Xianyang City, then it will be very troublesome for you to decide here, and it is naturally the highest level of place, Yinggao requires that the people of the Peacock Dynasty who want to enter Xianyang City to settle must have a skill, and this skill must be able to stand on the stage, or help the military of Daqin, or agriculture, or commerce, and these people must be personally reviewed by Xiao He and Xianyang Ling Cao Shen before they can obtain the qualification to be finalized in Xianyang City.
Of course, once a person succeeds, then he will not only be able to get a job in the institution directly under the Xianyang Palace, but also be able to get a fortune and housing, which can be said to be a place that all the people of the Mauryan Dynasty yearn for.
Nearly three months after this order was issued, the first group of people of the Mauryan Empire who wanted to settle in Xianyang City through this route finally arrived.
They are different from people who want to settle in Bashu or Lingnan, those people don't need to go through any verification at all, as long as they are healthy and have identity, they can directly bring their families over.
But Xianyang City is different, in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, Lu Jia has already been roughly reviewed once, you have to be a person who really has a skill, to be qualified to send you to Xianyang City to give it a try, to see if you can enter the eyes of Xiao He and Cao Shen, and the standards of Xiao He and Cao Shen are, of course, also high-end.
There were only three people who arrived this time, one of whom was a blacksmith who had been famous for a long time in the Peacock Dynasty, and it was said that he could create the sharpest weapons in the entire Peacock Dynasty.
The other two, one is a person who once wrote the laws of the Peacock Dynasty, he has almost the deepest understanding of the Peacock Dynasty, it is said that there is nothing he doesn't know about the Peacock Dynasty, although he doesn't have any other specialties, but Lu Jia always thinks it's useful, so he sent it over.
The last person is a god doctor of the Peacock Dynasty, and the people of Hua's City are almost all known, Lu Jia inquired about a lot of people, and they all said that this person was very disrespectful to the relics, if he was a person else, he would have not known how many times he had died, but the relics had still not killed him, for no other reason, that is, he was afraid that if he got sick at any time, others would not be able to cure him, so don't you have to look for him?
Doctors are a very scarce profession in Daqin, even if they are doctors in Xianyang Palace, there are not many reliable ones, this Lu Jia knows, so it is not surprising that this person was also selected.
