In the palace of the Seleucid Empire, King Arogles of Seleucus is receiving the leaders of the faction who have just been received from the port. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf he remembers correctly, it seems that his father received such a group of people during his reign, but it was the Brutus and Scipio families of Rome and some fellows from the Greek city-states. Those guys were also like the group of people in front of them, extremely embarrassed, and they looked like they had fled.

"Great Seleucid King, you must be the master for us!"

"Tell me, who made you so miserable? Is it that God of War Xiang Tian again? Listening to the opening remarks of the other party and the previous group, Arogles was full of complaints, but there was a look of concern on his face.

In the face of Arogles' inquiry, the leader of the Greek faction who felt the most eloquent stood up and explained: "This time it is not Xiang Tian! It's Shi Jinshui, the hateful guy. This time, we originally agreed to join forces to attack and kill the country together, and everything went well at the beginning, the army of killing the country was defeated and retreated in front of our hundreds of thousands of allied troops, and finally the queen of the killing country, Adjani, was forced to flee the continent by boat, and even Xiang Tian, who was known as the god of war, was captured alive by us. However, after we had achieved this unprecedented victory, that Shi Jinshui was so ambitious that he and his allies Thracian barbarians led their troops to attack our military camp that night, and if we hadn't run fast, I am afraid that we would have become a corpse by now. ”

"Oh! If things are really as you say, then this Shi Jinshui is quite hateful! After listening to what Garras had to say, Arogles nodded and said, but in his heart he was scolding: You guys are fools to me! The two factions of New Carthage and Thrace, among the many factions in the Mediterranean region, have always been at the bottom, and the total is probably less than 100,000, with such a small number of troops, even if it is a sneak attack, how can it defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the leaders of these factions in front of them! These guys are definitely not telling the truth!

Because he felt that the leaders of these factions were untruthful, and they seemed to be suspected of pulling themselves as gunmen, so after a few perfunctory words to the other party, Arogles left under the pretext that there was an urgent matter, and threw the leaders of this group of sub-factions in the empty hall.

Seeing Arogles leave so quickly, these faction leaders couldn't help but be collectively dumbfounded, they originally thought that in the Mediterranean region, except for New Carthage, the Seleucid Empire was the most powerful, so they were bent on pulling the other party into their camp, helping them defeat Shi Jinshui and regain those occupied territories, but now the Seleucid king seemed to have seen through their conspiracy and didn't want to deal with them at all.

A few days later, the envoy of New Carthage also came to Seleucus, saying that he wanted to formally establish trade relations with Seleucus and exchange ideas.

Curious about the truth of the war on the other side of the sea, the Seleucid king Arogles personally received the messenger and took the opportunity to ask him about it.

There was nothing to hide, so the messenger of New Carthage told Arogles the truth.

After listening to the new Carthaginian story, Arogles couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this, the gang leaders themselves were greedy and wanted to swallow the fruits of victory, but in the end they were beaten by Shi Jinshui and Salo and fled all the way to Seleucus. Then these guys didn't give up, and actually wanted to rely on reversing black and white, let themselves help them make the decisions, and regain the territory occupied by Shi Jinshui.

He also felt that something was wrong at the time, and he didn't promise these guys, otherwise he would have already fought with New Carthage by now. And for New Carthage, he also knows something, although there are not many troops, but they are all elite, and they also have mysterious gunpowder, relying on this mysterious gunpowder, New Carthage has developed many powerful firearms, relying on tens of thousands of troops, and has hundreds of thousands of troops to kill the country for more than ten years, and finally turned against the hand to kill the country, becoming the new hegemon of the Mediterranean region. Such a powerful faction, if it became Seleucus's opponent, it would definitely be enough for him to have a headache.

After learning the truth, Arogles did not hesitate any longer, and immediately signed an entente with the envoy of New Carthage, formalizing the trade relations between the two countries.

On the other hand, Shi Jinshui was busy digesting the newly occupied territory and population. Although he became the biggest winner this time, because New Carthage was originally too thin, he swallowed so much territory and population at once, and he had a feeling of being overwhelmed and began to have indigestion. In order to quell this adverse reaction as soon as possible, Shi Jinshui had to temporarily stop the pace of conquest and devote himself to the sorting and development work within the faction.

In the past, Xiang Tian had also laid down such a vast territory, but in the end, with the return of those faction leaders, these territories had to be sent back by Adjani, in addition to the reason for the lack of troops to kill the country at that time, the difference between faction cultures was also an important problem.

These factions in the Mediterranean region, all with their own unique cultures and beliefs, after occupying the territory of these factions, if they do not take action to eliminate these cultural differences and religious conflicts, it will be difficult for the people in the occupied areas to form a sense of identity with the factions, and once the original ruling class returns, these people will immediately gather around them, setting off a rebellion to try to overthrow the new ruling structure established by the occupiers.

Historically, this kind of thing often happened in the later part of the Roman Empire, and it can be said that part of the decline of the Roman Empire was due to these uprisings.

And Shi Jinshui is now trying to eliminate this cultural difference and clash of beliefs. As an otaku, he is not really good at these, but fortunately he has someone to learn from, that is, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, after Yingzheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms, in order to make China unification in the true sense of the word, become an inseparable whole, took a series of measures. For example, he abolished the original script of the Six Kingdoms, which was to fundamentally erase the cultural traces left by the Six Kingdoms, and he also unified weights and measures, currency, etc., to make trade between places more convenient, and most importantly, Qin Shi Huang was the first to create the interesting model of dictatorship, taking all the power and wealth of the country into his own hands, trying to nip all resistance within the empire in the bud.

It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang guessed the beginning, but he didn't guess the ending, when he was still alive, it was true that no one dared to stand up and resist, but as soon as he died, the rebels jumped out one after another, making the extremely powerful Qin Empire die.

Shi Jinshui is now working hard to learn from Qin Shi Huang's body, and the other party's measures are also correct and wrong, which is why no one dared to stand up and resist when Qin Shi Huang was alive, but as soon as he died, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms jumped out one after another. Now it's up to him to find the right things and apply them to his own country, and then get rid of the wrong things.

"Hmmm! This unified script can be had, and the unification of weights and measures and money is also imperative, as for this dictatorship! You can learn from it partially, anyway, as a player, I have endless longevity, and I can live forever, with me, there shouldn't be anyone who dares to jump out and make trouble. Shi Jinshui was thinking in his head as he wrote down what he thought was useful, but when it came to how to eliminate the conflict of beliefs, Shi Jinshui hesitated, he was actually very disgusted with deifying someone, even if that person was himself. But now it seems that making himself a mortal god is the best way to unify the domestic faith, after all, his name as a water god has not only been recognized by all the people in the country, but also often mentioned in the mouths of other factions.

"Why humans! Is there always a need for faith? In this world, in fact, people will conquer the sky, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can always overcome all difficulties in the end, rather than believing in those ethereal gods, it is better to believe in their own strength to be real! Shi Jinshui turned his head to look at the afterglow of the setting sun and muttered softly to himself.

That night, a post suddenly appeared on the post bar, and the title of the post was: Do you believe that there are gods in the world?

At first, few people cared about this post, but after a certain post bar friend saw the name of the poster, this post quickly received huge attention, because this post was sent by their faction leader, King Shi Jinshui. You must know that over the years, His Majesty the King has not been on the sticker for a long time because he is busy with state affairs. And now that New Carthage has just occupied such a large territory, Shi Jinshui, as the leader of the faction, must have a lot of things to do. It stands to reason that there will never be this intention to come to the water sticker! When you think about it, this post makes a lot of sense.

Because they realized the peculiarity of this post, it was rare for the people of New Carthage not to say those unorthodox words, and they all answered seriously under this post.

"I don't think there are gods in this world? Because my mother used to go to the temple every day to pray very sincerely, but when the family was about to starve to death, the damned god did not respond at all! ”

"I don't agree with the opinion upstairs, I think there are still gods in this world, but in the eyes of these gods, we mortals are too small, and the life and death of mortals are like the withering glory of a small grass in their eyes, which is not worthy of special attention."

"Can I say that in fact, our great King Shi Jinshui is the only true god in this world? Although he does not possess the power to destroy the world like the legendary gods, he has a lot of advanced knowledge that we mortals cannot understand at all, making our New Carthage the most advanced faction on this continent in just a dozen years! ”
