Chapter 570: Mysterious Dynasty (First Update)
After listening to Zhao Cheng's description of the process, Antiochus III sighed slightly, obviously feeling sorry for the loss of a good opportunity to assassinate in this way.
"Your Majesty, my plan to wait for this time is a miscalculation no matter what, if it is true that the Great Qin people learned from the mouths of the fifty warriors of Seleuc that Seleu was involved, I will die and die!"
Zhao Cheng's posture at this time was even lower, there was no way, the assassination failed, and none of the fifty warriors of the family were brought back, if Zhao Cheng was Antiochus III, it was normal to be angry.
But to Zhao Cheng's surprise this time, Antiochus III was not angry at all, he waved his hand, and then said to Zhao Cheng without changing his face: "Assassination such a thing, I didn't think that I could succeed when you said it last time, the emperor of Great Qin can develop Great Qin to such an extent, and can take down the entire territory of the Mauryan Dynasty in such a short time, how can he be a character who can be assassinated so easily?" ”
"Then why did the king send us fifty Seleucid warriors?" Regarding Antiochus III's argument, Zhao Cheng is still a little incomprehensible.
"Zhao Hu under your command is still very capable, with him and my Seleu fifty warriors, I originally thought that there would be a chance to shoot the Great Qin Emperor, but now it seems that I still underestimate the Great Qin Emperor! Zhao Hu was able to come back with nine deaths, which is already a blessing in misfortune for you. ”
"Alas, what the king said is extremely true, but at this time, our top priority is to determine whether the people of Great Qin already know that Seleu is related to this assassination, because no one in Great Qin knows where we are hiding, so we are not afraid that they will know that Zhao Hu is involved, but once we know that Seleu is related to this matter, it will be different."
"It doesn't matter, since I dare to send fifty warriors, I have already expected such a situation, before those fifty warriors set off, I have already entrusted them with a lot of things, in short, they will not tell me Seleuc, just wait here to guard well, if you are not completely sure of this kind of thing next time, you must be cautious, what is the ability of the emperor of Great Qin, I am afraid that you know better than me, right?"
In the end, Antiochus III was a wake-up call to Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai, he was as serious a monarch as Yinggao, and he knew how difficult it was to manage and develop an empire.
Although he has never seen Yinggao, but Yinggao must be an emperor of civil and martial arts in his heart, such a person is not something that can be assassinated by just fifty warriors, if the emperor of Daqin is really like that, it is not that Daqin took down the Peacock Dynasty, but that Daqin did not know who took it down before this.
In short, the final result made Zhao Cheng breathe a sigh of relief, because this incident did not make Antiochus III angry, so it did not have any impact on their survival in this place.
After Zhao Cheng returned to Hu Hai's side, the two of them thought about the assassination from beginning to end, and found that their decision was indeed a bit hasty, in fact, from the last time Yinggao went to Nanhai County, they should have found that whether Yinggao knew about the assassination in advance or not, he was very well prepared for the assassination, so they decided not to come indiscriminately in the future.
"Childe, in my opinion, we should still follow the previous plan, rest and recuperate here, turn these mercenaries into a team of elite soldiers who can only obey our drive, and it is not a long-term solution to live in the city of Seleu for a long time, once we develop a little better, the monarch of Seleu will not be as tolerant of us as today, Childe's role in his heart is just the identity of the prince of Great Qin, he just wants to use this identity to do something one day in the future, and get some benefits, But in other words, if Daqin really doesn't work one day, wouldn't the identity of the prince be useless to the monarch of Seleuc? ”
Through these few contacts with Antiochus III, Zhao Cheng has felt a lot of things, so as soon as he saw Hu Hai after returning this time, he told him about it.
"Yes, now we only have these 30,000 mercenaries on hand, and their combat effectiveness is average, if someone really comes to attack, it will only be able to buffer the Seleucian army a little, and the Seleu monarch will naturally not have any precautions against us."
Of course, this situation will not pose any threat to Antiochus III, but Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng are not willing to do this, the two of them want to increase the number and combat effectiveness of the soldiers under their command, and they want to wait until a suitable time to show their identities and lead the army to conquer the territory of the Mauryan Empire, but whether these conditions can be achieved in this place, now they have a skeptical attitude.
Hu Hai and Zhao Chengdu knew that according to the laws of Great Qin, they were both people who should have died, and they were all doing things against the sky, and it was definitely much more difficult to do this thing than being an official in the court or other places in Great Qin, which required them to pay more, and they might even lose their lives at any time.
But for these, they have long been accustomed to it, and the current life is much better than what they have experienced in the previous years, but they still need to go further, in this land where Great Qin has not yet ruled firmly, if they can go further, they will definitely be able to find an opportunity to occupy their own place in the territory of the Peacock Empire.
Their road must be very difficult, but this time the catastrophe, they have already been considered successful, because Yinggao did not think of Seleuc when he was about to leave this time, and this assassination was already coldly treated by Yinggao, and he did not search for any assassins in the territory of the Mauryan Empire.
Even the Capricorns who were spoken out of the mouths of the Seleucians before, Yinggao just asked Lu Jia to send people to spy on them, and did not take any other drastic actions.
But the affairs of the Mauryan Dynasty are really a bit noisy, the Peacock Empire is not like the Great Qin, because of the barrier between the mountains and the sea and no other dynasty knows, although the Mauryan Empire is also on the edge of a continental plate, but through the connection of medium-sized dynasties like the Seleuc Dynasty, it is inextricably linked with some other large dynasties.
Although the information transmission of this era is very slow, but slow does not mean that it cannot be transmitted at all, when Daqin occupied the Mauryan Dynasty for nearly a year, and the Peacock Dynasty is very far away from another dynasty, a majestic monarch is in a relatively small palace listening to the people in front of him.
"The Mauryan Empire was destroyed by a dynasty that had never been heard of?"
Although there was a lot of surprise in his tone, this person was still very calm, obviously, the Peacock Dynasty didn't seem to be a powerful character in his eyes.
"Yes, the merchant in our clan has just returned from the Peacock Dynasty, and when he left, the Peacock Dynasty had already begun to be occupied by that foreign race, and by this time, I am afraid that at least half of the city has been occupied by that dynasty, and if the king wants to get something from it, I am afraid it will be too late."
"No, just a Peacock Dynasty, I don't have to wait for all the effort to fight for it, if I want to expand in that direction one day, it will not be as simple as a Mauryan Dynasty. However, although we have no intention of the Mauryan Dynasty at the moment, the dynasty that occupies it still needs to pay more attention, can the merchants under your command bring back any useful information? ”
After thinking for a while, the person opposite this monarch replied in a low voice: "The governance of the Peacock Dynasty by the foreign race, I am afraid that it is not the same as the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty before, they actually abolished the caste system that had lasted for hundreds of years on the territory of the Mauryan Empire as soon as they occupied it, and greatly improved the status of the people of the lower castes. ”
"Oh? The caste system was abolished, didn't this dynasty know that the upper castes of the Mauryan Empire controlled more than half of the wealth and resources? ”
The monarch was very surprised by Daqin's approach, in his opinion, it is very undesirable to destroy a policy that a dynasty has been pursuing for a long time, because if it is not handled well, it will make the dynasty fall into chaos, but Daqin still did it, which shows that the monarch is still very courageous.
"It is said that for the high-ranking castes above the Mauryan Dynasty, it is said that that the dynasty has taken more radical measures, once the high-ranking castes do not cooperate, it is equivalent to breaking their laws, which is a disaster of imprisonment at least and a disaster of death at worst!"
"Thunder means, I really have some ability, I would like to see such an enemy, but their little strength is okay to exploit the weak guard of the Peacock Dynasty, but if you want to really compete with me, there is still a long way to go."
"Your Majesty, should we take advantage of the fact that the Mauryan Dynasty has not yet been occupied by that dynasty to send troops to try, and after two years, it is estimated that people will take root in the Peacock Dynasty."
This man put forward his own opinion based on what he had learned, and then looked at the monarch in front of him with anticipation, obviously having some expectations of his own for the things above the Mauryan Dynasty.
"My dynasty will not send troops because of the changes of other dynasties, and when we want to take the land of the Mauryan Dynasty, we will naturally go, as for how many changes they have in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, it seems that there is no difference to me."
The monarch's eyes revealed a strong self-confidence, as if what he had heard before was nothing more than an interesting thing, this was not a crazy person, or that he was indeed very crazy, but he also had crazy capital.
Ying Gao naturally didn't know what was happening here, he had already embarked on the road back to Xianyang City at this time, in the Western Regions, Ying Gao stayed for a long time, this time the trip to the Peacock Dynasty, in addition to being killed by a relatively strong assassination, he was quite satisfied.
The occupation of the various cities is completely carried out according to Yinggao's own imagination, and the speed is also very satisfactory to him, and it is a matter of the past few months to completely control the Peacock Dynasty, after controlling all the cities, everything is naturally easy to say, at most two years later, the people on these Peacock Dynasties will become the source of soldiers in Daqin, and when the time comes, coupled with the agricultural reform that is being implemented in Daqin itself, population growth and explosion are just around the corner.
The reason why Yinggao has now won a Peacock Dynasty can not continue to move forward, to put it bluntly, what is lacking is just troops, and when he has troops, no matter how many other dynasties he wins, Yinggao's heart is not afraid.
After arriving at the realm of the Western Regions, Ying Gao mentioned that he had been assassinated in the realm of the Mauryan Empire when talking to Fusu, which made Fusu very angry.
Because of the previous big man, this incident did not run, it must have been planned by Hu Hai, and this is still Hu Hai's second assassination of Yinggao, even if it is Fusu, I don't think Hu Hai can have any change of heart or be alive.
"Why didn't you search around the Peacock Empire, since you can go deep into the territory of the Peacock Dynasty in such a short time, Hu Hai's place must not be far from the Peacock Dynasty, as long as you spend some time, you will definitely be able to find where Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng are."
After listening to the whole process of this matter, Fusu basically understood that what the Magadha people said in the end must be a lie, and the real mastermind behind the scenes must be someone else, but in Fusu's opinion, the people behind the scenes are not incomprehensible, and they can still be found out with some thought.
"I naturally know this, but those dozens of big men are not something that Hu Hai and Zhao Chengcheng can easily command, I suspect that they should have taken refuge in a small dynasty with some strength, and those big men are just the helpers sent to them by those small dynasties, and they are dead soldiers, no matter what, they will not say where they come from, in this case, if I forcibly look for Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, there will definitely be a conflict with that dynasty, my Great Qin is not afraid of a small dynasty, and if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, But now is not the time for my Great Qin to be so public! ”
