Chapter 623: Choosing Another Country
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the kings and ministers of the Western Regions have come out of the Huayang Palace!"
As soon as the kings stepped out of the Huayang Hall on their front feet, there were guards on their back feet to report to Yingzheng.
"Hmmm! I know! ”
Ying Zheng nodded in response.
"I wonder what those guys will choose?"
"I wish they didn't say yes, haha!"
"No! The Ministry of Industry is still waiting to catch the slaves so that they can start work......! ”
The ministers began to talk about it.
After a while, under the leadership of the guards, the mighty Bailai people returned to the main hall.
It's just that this time everyone's faces no longer have the previous pride on their faces, and they all look heavy, like defeated roosters!
"See Your Majesty Great Qin!"
Everyone bowed respectfully.
"Hmmm! I've heard that you don't seem to like my Daqin's food very much? ”
Ying Zhenghu has a face, not angry and arrogant.
"Nope! Daqin's dishes are exquisite, we are willing to stay in Daqin and enjoy the deliciousness of Daqin! ”
King Dawan spoke in a heavy tone.
"I'm willing to stay in Daqin ......!"
The others followed, bowing their heads.
"Hahaha! Good! I have a hundred kinds of delicacies in Daqin, and I will definitely not disappoint you......!" ”
Ying Zheng comprehended and grinned, "You can rest assured, after the countries of the Western Regions return to Great Qin, they will definitely flourish!" And you can stay in Xianyang with peace of mind, and I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing! ”
took other people's land for nothing, and he can't be too stingy.
As long as these guys are honest and reward the house, it's no problem to give two dollars per month!
Of course, if they dare to make any moves, Yingzheng is not a soft-hearted person!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The crowd saluted again.
This time, they no longer called Ying Zheng His Majesty Great Qin, but changed their words to His Majesty!
Because from now on, they have already become the people of Great Qin!
As expected, from now on, their scope of activities will be limited to Xianyang City!
But on the flip side, that's good!
Once Great Qin sends troops, not only will they have no way to live, but their people will also have no way to live!
"Alright, let's all go down and rest, someone will arrange it for you when you get back!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
"Alas......! What a pity! ”
After the kings of the Western Regions left, the generals sighed one after another.
A good military feat, it's gone!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, without spending a single soldier, you will include the countries of the Western Regions into my territory of Great Qin!"
And the ministers were full of joy and congratulated.
"Hmm!"
Ying Zheng was also smiling and nodded again and again.
"Your Majesty, what now?"
Feng asked with a bitter face.
Although he was also happy about this matter, he was more worried about his Ministry of Industry!
Ten railways were to be built at the same time, and it was normal to encounter high mountains and boulders.
You can't get around it every time, right?
Then it would take slaves to blast and dig!
But he refuses to give it everywhere, so he can't rob it, right?
"What to do?"
Ying Zhengle couldn't close his mouth, and it was obvious that he had forgotten the original intention of attacking the Western Regions.
"The construction of the railway requires a large number of slaves, but the countries of the Western Regions have surrendered, where do these slaves come from?"
Feng Qujian spread his hands and put the problem out straightforwardly.
"Oh ......!"
After this reminder, Ying Zheng remembered that there was still a slave matter that needed to be resolved.
The smile on his face gradually retracted.
The countries of the Western Regions have surrendered, and the local people, that is, the people of Great Qin, must not be able to capture them back as slaves and build railways!
"What's so hard about that? If the Western Regions fails, then choose another country! ”
At this moment, Ying Feiyu's immature voice echoed above the main hall.
Everyone's eyes are bright!
"That's right! Fei Yu's words are very much in line with my heart, haha! ”
Ying Zhengle slapped his thigh, got up and paced towards the hanging ground on the side of the hall.
After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the northeast direction of Daqin and said: "Su Shen and Fuyu have a vast territory, and they are close to Donghu, if these two places are taken, then this piece will be my Daqin's!" ”
"Hmmm! Your Majesty! After conquering the two places, there will be no foreign enemies around my Daqin in the future! ”
The ministers seconded the proposal.
A large area of land to the north of Daqin belonged to the Xiongnu, and the east of the Xiongnu was Donghu, followed by Fuyu and Sushen, and further north was a vast sea area.
Wo Island is located on this part of the sea.
It's just that it has now become Daqin's territory.
In other words, as long as the two places are taken, there will be no other human civilization around Great Qin.
As for Siberia further north, it is still in a primitive society, living by hunting, and not even sewing clothes!
"Good! The slaves who built the railroad came out of the two countries of Fuyu and Su Shen! ”
The ministers agreed, and Yingzheng immediately finalized the matter.
"Father, it takes a lot of slaves to build a railway, just those two small barbaric countries, how many people can be produced?"
However, Ying Feiyu, who had been leaning back in the chair, suddenly spoke, as if she looked down on her husband Yu and Su Shen.
"There are 80,000 husbands and households, a population of at least 400,000, and a strength of about 60,000, and it is about the same as Su Shen, the two countries together should have about 120,000 troops, and after the war, how can there be 30,000 or 40,000 left?"
Ying Zheng made an estimate.
"Thirty or forty thousand? There are only more than 3,000 people on each railway, which is not enough to stuff your teeth! ”
Ying Feiyu pursed her lips.
"That'...... What do you think? ”
After some calculations by him, Ying Zheng also felt that there were fewer people.
A railway is thousands of miles away, how can only 3,000 people do coolies?
This has to be a leisurely fight!
Once the troops of the two countries stubbornly resist, they may not even be able to keep these 30,000 or 40,000, which is indeed a little less!
But other than that, there really is no other country to fight!
"Father, keep your eyes on the distance, don't always stare around Daqin!"
Ying Feiyu smiled and walked towards the map.
The ministers also gathered around, wanting to see where Xiao Zhengtai would target!
"Stay farther away?"
Ying Zheng's eyes wandered on the map, and after locking on one place, he looked at the little guy who was half a head shorter than him, and seemed a little incredulous.
"Mauryan?"
In this era, not many human civilizations exist.
Coupled with the inconvenient transportation, Daqin doesn't know much about the outside world!
But the name of the Mauryan Dynasty is known to everyone!
According to legend, the strength of the Peacock Dynasty is no worse than that of Great Qin after the unification of the Six Kingdoms!
And the land area is wider than that of Great Qin, the population has reached an astonishing more than 50 million, the number of troops is far more than one million, and no one dares to provoke the strong national strength!
Even the extremely ambitious Yingzheng felt a tingling in his scalp when he thought of the Peacock Dynasty!
"That's right!"
However, Ying Feiyu looked relaxed and nodded firmly.
It's as if you didn't pay attention to it at all!
"Sizzle......"
Hearing this, all the ministers gasped.
Even the generals were shocked.
They had always longed for Great Qin to have a war, but they really never thought that they would attack the Peacock Dynasty so soon!
Not to mention who wins or loses in terms of troops, the distance alone is more than 10,000 miles.
If you don't have the certainty of victory, you really don't dare to move!
