Chapter 625 - Application of Vertical and Horizontal Integration

For Yinggao's approach, Meng Tian and Lu Jia, who is still in charge of the overall situation in the territory of the Mauryan Empire, are very supportive, after all, the current people of the Peacock Dynasty and Seleu are far from being able to fluently master the language of Great Qin or understand the history of Great Qin, such a situation is definitely not suitable for use as an important official of Great Qin.

But in order to give more opportunities to those foreign people who want to be officials, Yinggao has also introduced a policy at the same time as almost attacking Seleuc, that is, to let those people of the Peacock Dynasty and Seleu who have ideas come to Daqin, and give some of Daqin's leaders, pavilion chiefs and even county commanders, but if you want to return to the Peacock Dynasty or Seleucus to become officials, you can't just come to gild.

In this policy, once you come to the territory of Daqin and beat the grassroots officials of Daqin, first of all, you must work for two years, and secondly, you must pass Yinggao's examination for these officials after two years, and only when these people pass the exam, they may return to their own realm to become an official position similar to that of the pavilion chief.

I have to say that such conditions are quite strict, but in this way, there are still a lot of people of different races who have signed up for this activity, especially the people of the lower castes of the original Mauryan Dynasty, they have been used to on the heads of people from the upper castes before, and now many of them can't wait to change their identities and become managers, so that the people of the previous high castes can see, and now they have turned over.

The merchants, coupled with the training class of this grassroots official, almost immediately brought the distance and relationship between Daqin and the Mauryan Empire and the Seleuc a lot closer, and the people of Daqin better understood what the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleuc were all about, and in turn, the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleuks also understood more about the life of the Great Qin people.

This is undoubtedly Yinggao is laying the foundation, Yinggao wants the effect after a few years or even more than ten years, quick success and quick profit has never been what he wants to pursue after coming to this era, what he wants is to lay a solid foundation for his son after he is old.

In domestic affairs, Yinggao has adopted such a method of accumulation, while in diplomacy, Yinggao has been much more aggressive.

After completing this operation against the Romans with Philip V, Yinggao immediately sent a letter to Philip V, although these letters wasted a very long time on the road, but for Philip V, these letters were also something he wanted to be sure of.

In Yinggao's letters, Yinggao expressed to Philip V that Great Qin wanted to form an alliance with Philip V all the time against the Romans, and whether the Romans attacked Philip V's territory or Daqin's territory, both sides could use troops against the Romans together.

Such an alliance is what Philip V could not ask for, a previous joint operation has allowed Philip V to see the power of the Great Qin and the Hun cavalry, once the Romans come again, the alliance of the two sides will definitely be able to win again. What's more, Philip V had just given the Romans a hard blow without Daqin's knowledge, and he didn't know if the urine of those old guys in the Senate in Rome would send troops again.

The two of them reached this cooperation in this way, which reminded Yinggao of the ones who were active in the Warring States before, if the six countries at that time worked together, it would definitely not let Daqin develop little by little, in fact, each force has its own small abacus, and such things as alliances must be temporary, and some forces are very far away from Daqin, so people only want to watch the excitement and don't want to send troops, which resulted in six countries destroying Daqin one after another.

In other words, today's Rome is like the Great Qin at that time, although Philip V is a little closer to them, and the Great Qin is much farther away from them, but if the Great Qin does not join forces with Philip V at this time to suppress and suppress the Romans, once the Romans suddenly defeat Macedonia one day, the Great Qin will also fall into a very dangerous situation.

At this juncture, the most high-spirited force in the world is undoubtedly Philip V, he is very glad that he chased the back of the Romans' butts to them for a moment, he believes that it is a very big deterrent to the Romans, with the previous defeat, if the Romans are enemies with themselves again, they must weigh themselves.

And for Daqin, Philip V also has a lot of hearts, what he wants to do most now is to stabilize Daqin first, although Daqin has developed very quickly in the past two years, but he also understands it a little, and he is keenly aware that Daqin's biggest weakness is that Daqin's homeland is a little far away from here, and Daqin's emperor Yinggao is in Daqin's homeland, not in a city that is relatively close to this place.

This caused the information obtained by Great Qin to be relatively delayed, which meant that the emperor of Great Qin could not know what was happening here at the first time, let alone react to what happened here at the first time.

Philip V felt that if this situation in Daqin continued, he could wait until the Romans had almost finished cooking before taking care of Daqin.

Because Philip V was not very interested in the territories occupied by Great Qin, he thought that there were some poor and remote areas, and it would not be of much use to occupy them.

On this day, Philip V was discussing the next step in Macedonia with his generals and officials, not so much as a discussion, but an idea.

"We have already united with Great Qin to deal a heavy blow to the Romans before, and our cavalry did not suffer much loss in this battle, so at this time, even if there is no Antiochus III, an ally who is willing to go with us to attack Egypt, we can complete this matter ourselves, what do you think?"

Attacking countries in the Mediterranean, including the Egyptian region, has always been Philip V's dream, and he had decided to do this with Antiochus III before, but he never thought that Antiochus III would be lost in the hands of Daqin at once, which made him very troubled.

But as a result, the Great Qin people took the initiative to form an alliance with him again, although Ying Gao had made it clear in the letter to him that he really had no interest in attacking other places at all, but what Philip V could be sure of was that after the Romans were not completely wiped out, Great Qin would definitely not be able to stab himself in the back, so his mind was active again at this time.

"Your Majesty, with our current strength, we are indeed quite sure that we want to attack Egypt, but once Egypt and other countries ask the Romans for help, what should we do? Once the Romans send troops, we will be very passive when we have no helpers. ”

After listening to Philip V's words, a relatively old general first expressed his worries, in fact, they all knew that if it weren't for the previous Great Qin's toss in Seleuc, their strength would still be slightly behind the Romans, which is also the key reason why they have always coveted that piece of land in the Mediterranean, and have been reluctant to send troops.

But now, although the Romans have just suffered a defeat in their hands, the main reason for this defeat is still in Daqin, not in their Macedonians, and Philip V just grasped the opportunity better and made a handful in time.

"If the Romans dare to send troops to rescue them in such a situation, then they are bold, but we are really not afraid of them, and before attacking Egypt, I will issue a wide range of documents, indicating that we and Daqin are already allied, and our interests are closely united, and even once the Romans really send troops because of our attack on Egypt and other places, we can use some territory over there as an advantage, and ask Daqin to send troops, with Daqin's troops, waiting for the Romans will definitely be a failure!"

Philip V's words were categorical, and his generals knew that they couldn't persuade him this time, and they didn't know how long they had been studying sending troops in that direction, so they simply didn't want to worry about anything anymore, so they expressed their willingness to attack Egypt and other places.

As a result, a war that had already existed in history kicked off again, but because of the birth of Yinggao and the early withdrawal of Antiochus III from the stage of history, the war of Philip V was retreated for a long time.

Philip V said that it was a very flamboyant monarch, and what he wanted to do, and decided to do, it must have been something that he was very confident in, and after he decided on it, he began to reorganize his troops with great fanfare, as if he wanted the whole world to know that they were about to attack Egypt and other places.

Of course, Meng Tian also learned the news for the first time, he knew that Philip V's preparations might take a long time, so he hurriedly informed Yinggao of this matter.

When Yinggao received the news from Meng Tian, although he knew that Philip V might be fast even if he hadn't set off yet, he still found Antiochus III, who was a guest in Daqin, by his side.

After this period of guest life, Antiochus III has really gradually adapted to Xianyang City, and the first half of his life was almost thinking about things related to war, and now, he finally has time to think about something else, and these things really make him gradually have a feeling of finding the meaning of life.

"I wonder if Philip V was already salivating over that place before?"

After showing Meng Tian's news to Antiochus III, Yinggao directly asked such a question.

Before, as one of the few allies of Philip V who could be seen, Antiochus III still knew Macedonia very well, and he also knew very well what Philip V was thinking about.

"Yes, Philip V had discussed with me a few years ago about going to attack Egypt and other places, and then because the power of the Romans was really huge, we were worried that after attacking Egypt and other places, the Romans would think that we were about to touch their interests, so they launched an attack on us, so this matter has not been done, but although it did not happen, Philip V has been trying his best to promote this matter, when Daqin has not yet attacked Seleuc, he has discussed with me many times At this time, If Great Qin hadn't attacked us, we might have already gone to attack Egypt and other places. ”

After Antiochus III introduced the previous events to Yinggao, Yinggao probably had an understanding of Philip V's psychology.

"Then what do you think Philip V relied on at this time, since he dared to attack on his own?"

"His reliance is nothing more than the fact that he and Daqin united to defeat the Roman army before, and another point is that he hyped up his alliance with Daqin in the surrounding area, which should have something to do with his upcoming attack on Egypt, he is intimidating the Romans, wanting to make the Romans dare not go to the rescue of Egypt, but even if the Romans really go to the rescue, I think they are not afraid, but when the time comes, they may ask to meet the enemy with the king, of course, with his temperament, it will also give the king a lot of benefits."

Antiochus III really knew a lot about Philip V, which made Yinggao very excited, of course, when he knew that Philip V might eventually tempt himself with benefits, he couldn't help but make calculations in his heart, what Yinggao wants now is to achieve the goal of hegemony as soon as possible without spending much of his own troops.

In Yinggao's heart, the number of troops must be more, but the number of troops is not entirely for the purpose of fighting, the more later, the strength often represents your hard power, is a manifestation of intimidation of the enemy, if their own troops can help Philip V scare away the Romans, Yinggao believes that Philip V will still give himself a very generous reward, which is much more suitable than sending his own soldiers and horses to fight down with real swords and guns.

What the Romans didn't know was that while they were still in a rage over a previous defeat, a new plan had begun against them in the distance.
