As the saying goes, up the north and down the south, left west and right east.

The reason why the west is placed last, is because in this era, other places are wild continents, and only the west can barely be called a trace of civilization.

"The king knows that the west of Daqin is Yiqu and Dog Rong, but does the king know where the west side of Dog Rong is?"

Originally, it was just a simple beginning, but I never thought that Ying Zheng would really answer, "Naturally, it's Yue's." ”

Seeing Li Yunze's surprise on his face, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Mr. said it before." ”

Okay, Li Yunze simply skipped it directly, and his finger fell on the western part of Great Qin, "this place, the famous land of the Western Regions." There are many city-states, and a city and a pond dare to claim the title of king. ”

In fact, there are many city-states in the Western Regions that are not small in size, but compared to Middle-earth, it is really not worth mentioning.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately showed indignation.

He is thousands of miles away from Qin's fertile soil, so he dares to speak up as a king.

To dare to be a king in a single city is simply an insult to the word king.

"There is a mountain that sits in the east-west direction, called the Tianshan Mountain. To the north of the Tianshan Mountains is the Jinshan Mountain, and to the south is the Kunlun Mountain. They all run east-west, and while the cold wind is blocked, the snow on the mountains melts down, moistening large areas of fertile land. Moreover, the locals have been cultivating for many years, and the ripe fields have already been developed. ”

The Western Regions are far away from the sea, and there are mountains blocking it, so the warm and humid air from the ocean cannot pass through, so there are large areas of arid desert and Gobi.

However, there are several famous large mountain ranges here, and there is plenty of snow on the mountain, which seasonally replenishes the water source for the bottom of the mountain every year.

Before mechanized reclamation and large-scale construction of artificial reservoirs, this snow water was enough to feed the fertile land cultivated by the locals, and there was even a surplus of water that could form huge lakes, such as Lop Nur, Juyanze and so on.

Although Ying Zheng was only more than ten years old, even when Zhao Guo was a proton, his mother Zhao Ji would invite a famous teacher to teach him, and after returning to Qin State, he was even more focused on cultivation.

By the way, the reason why Yingzheng's father, King Zhuangxiang of Great Qin, won Yiren, was made the crown prince, in addition to taking the route of Mrs. Huayang, and more importantly, he went to Zhao to be a hostage for many years!

In this era of war and strife, it is a very great merit to give up the life of a wealthy son and go to the enemy country as a hostage at the risk of being killed at any time.

Now that he has come back alive, of course the credit cannot be erased, and the whole of Great Qin recognizes this credit!

Therefore, Ying Zheng has received a good education, and it is not the so-called sage words of those who know the corrupt Confucians, but real knowledge.

He knew very well that with fertile soil, more people could be fed, more soldiers could fight, more people could collect more taxes, and with more people, more people could serve in conscription, do great work, work and produce all kinds of materials, and so on.

Therefore, for Ying Zheng, the attraction of gold, silver, jewelry, mineral beauty, is far less than that of fertile soil.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yunze doesn't introduce anything else, like a beautiful woman with many charms in the Western Regions, and he doesn't say anything about raisins, only the land here.

That's what really gets to the heart of the matter.

"This is the Hexi Corridor, it is not difficult for Daqin to go to the Western Regions, just follow here"

Li Yunze's introduction to the Western Regions was very detailed, because this was a short period of time, except for the six countries of the Kanto region, Daqin was able to eat the most abundant fat in his mouth.

Although other places are very good, they are far away, and they can't even go for many years.

Ying Zheng's eyes were shining, and he stared at the Western Regions for a long time.

Since he is the king of Qin, his greatest wish is naturally to expand his territory.

The kings of Qin in the past generations have all had this mind, so that they can fight the Qin State from a mere land all the way to today's fertile land of thousands of miles.

The current Great Qin has already been a big problem for the Kwantung countries after the Battle of Changping, and it is easy to attract a joint attack on Qin by forcibly attacking the outside world, so if it can open up the Western Regions, it will also be very attractive to Yingzheng.

The so-called vertical is up and down from the north to the south, and at this time, the north and south of the Kanto are Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han and Chu, and they work together to deal with the Qin State, which is called the joint vertical.

As for the State of Qi, since it was stabbed in the back and was beaten to the point that it was almost destroyed, it was all up to Tiandan to restore the country with two cities, and he no longer participated in the chaotic wars of various countries, and he did not fight until Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms.

At this time, Ying Zheng, who was very interested, looked at the Western Regions, just like King Qin Huiwen looked at Bashu back then.

As for saying that the road is difficult or something, no matter how difficult it is, can there be a plank road? Isn't there a Hexi Corridor?

Seeing that Yingzheng was indeed interested, Li Yunze said in his heart, "Zhang Qian, I'm sorry." ’

If Qin Jun really went to open the Western Regions, then naturally there would be nothing to do with Zhang Qian, the first person to open up the Western Regions.

Li Yunze's fingers continued to slide towards the west, "Here to here"

Fingers on the west side of the Western Regions, drawing out a long trajectory, "Dudu was once a huge country. ”

"Huh?"

Ying Zheng was shocked, "How come, it's so big?!" ”

"That's true." Li Yunze nodded, and his finger fell on an inconspicuous dot in the extreme west, "More than eighty years ago, there was a country called Macedonia. ”

"His king's name was Alexander. At a young age, this person worshipped a famous teacher as an apprentice and learned advanced knowledge. At the age of sixteen, he succeeded his father in power. At the age of twenty, his father was assassinated, and Alexander was immediately enthroned. ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart moved slightly, this encounter is somewhat similar to himself.

Li Yunze's account continues: "This man acted very decisively, swept away the unrest in the palace, defeated all kinds of ill-intentioned opponents, and completely controlled his country. ”

Ying Zheng's mood is more and more mobilized, this is simply a copy of himself.

I am the king of Qin, and I should have ordered Da Qin to be, but from the queen mother to the middle father, too many people have taken away the power that should belong to the king of Qin, which is really hateful!

As a teenager, especially after experiencing hardships, for Ying Zheng, he knows everything he should know.

Don't look at the mouth shouting 'Queen Mother, Middle Father', but in your heart, hehe~~~

It took only one year for this man to subdue all the surrounding nations, thus unifying this place with many city-states and many small states. By the way, the name of this area is Greece. ”

Ying Zheng looked at the place where Li Yunze's fingers circled out, and he felt that he was not as big as Qin.

However, it only takes a year to settle down, and this man called Alexander does have some ability.

But if you look at it from another angle, how similar this is to the current situation in the world!

'How many years will it take for a widow to dominate the world?' ’

Li Yunze's narration continued: "In another year, when this person was twenty-two years old, he began to lead troops on an expedition to run rampant in the world. From here to here, and then here, under many wars, he defeated this huge country. By the time he was twenty-six years old, he had already ruled the vast territory from here. ”

Ying Zheng's expression became more and more surprised.

The area painted by Li Yunze is very large, almost catching up with most of the world.

It took only a few years for this surnamed Ya to lay down such a huge territory, which is really unbelievable.

"And that's not all." Looking at Ying Zheng with a face full of disbelief, Li Yunze smiled and continued to slide his fingers, "When he was twenty-seven years old, this person began his crusade. First of all, it broke through the area of the two river basins, and then moved south into this large area. ”

Li Yunze's fingers drew a circle in the land of India, "This large area of the place is called poison." Thousands of years ago, people began to cultivate and work here, and the water is abundant, and the fields are fertile, and there are fertile fields everywhere. ”

No, this undoubtedly hit Yingzheng's happiness again, and his favorite is the fertile soil.

If you have fertile soil, you will have people, and if you have people, you will have everything.

How difficult it is to open up the wasteland by yourself, and it will take many years, where is it comfortable to grab it directly.

"By the time he was thirty-two years old, he had already taken down all this large area." Li Yunze stretched out his hand and drew a large circle on the map: "The land that has been laid down by his people for more than ten years is larger than the area of all countries in the world combined. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunze stared at Ying Zheng with burning eyes, and asked softly, "What did this person do, the king might have done?" ”

The look of shock in his eyes gradually turned into incomparable confidence, Ying Zheng raised his chin, and his words were full of confidence.

"If this person does it, the widow can naturally do it!"

The words are very weighty, and they can be called loud!

After a while, Ying Zheng's face was relaxed, and he sighed, "It's a pity that the widow is lonely now."

"It's not that hard." Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "Let's discuss later." ”

Ying Zheng nodded again and again, and then stared at the wooden ball, slightly puzzled, "Sir, looking at what this person surnamed Ya Bing Feng pointed to, it is not far from the Western Regions. Since the poison has been destroyed, why didn't they go to the Western Regions? If it had been more than 80 years since he had been to the Western Regions, why hadn't there been the slightest news? ”

This surprise and confusion are also justified.

It stands to reason that the person surnamed Ya was only in his thirties when he destroyed the poison, and with his speed of sweeping the world, it was not impossible to continue to enter the Western Regions eastward, or even to the east to Daqin.

But why has it been decades since this happened, and I haven't heard any news related to this, isn't there some powerful country here in the Western Regions that has actually blocked this person?

"It's coming." Li Yunze's finger fell on the place west of the Western Regions, "This place is called Dawan, and it is the country built by Alexander's generals." ”

"This man was poisoned at the age of thirty-two, but at the age of thirty-three, he died of illness."

After his death, the huge country also collapsed, and various places were divided by his subordinates, and they continued to fight with each other. Naturally, he did not continue to the east, to the Western Regions, and even to Great Qin. ”

"Actually dead?"

Hearing the news, Ying Zheng greatly regretted, "If he can come all the way to Daqin and have a big battle with my Daqin Tiger Ben, how spectacular it would be." ”

In the era of Chongwen and martial arts, 'don't come, don't come, don't come. Behold me touching you with the words of a saint! No way? If you can't do it, send gold, silver and silk, and send beautiful girls! Not yet? If you can't do it, then kneel and persuade you to enter the table! ’

In the martial age, 'come, come, come. We've done a good job! ’

It's the same people, why is there such a big gap?

Obviously, Yingzheng is still interested in Alexander's story.

In more than ten years, he has laid down a land far larger than the entire world (at this time Middle Earth), even Yingzheng is envious.

He stood up respectfully and saluted Li Yunze.

"Thank you, Mr. for talking about the past and the present for the widow, and the widow has benefited a lot."

In the eyes of later generations, Yingzheng, who is still just a big child, is actually a real actor in this era.

Many people even have children at this age.

In the era of war, life expectancy is very low, so everything can only be pushed forward as much as possible.

So looking at the slightly immature salute and rhetoric, it is actually very solemn.

Li Yunze motioned for Ying Zheng to sit down and speak, "The king never thought about it, what he said is all stories he made up?" ”

"If Mr. can make up such a wonderful story, then he is also a great sage in the world."

Ying Zheng doesn't care about this, as long as he has the ability, he can use it.

"Dare to ask sir."

After sitting down again, Ying Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "What should the widow do, so that he can dominate the world like this Ya clan?" ”

Li Yunze picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "The first thing the king should do is to take back the power and take back the power that should belong to the king of Qin!" ”

'Dangchang! ’

Changping Jun, who came in with a pottery plate full of roast mutton, heard this, and the pottery plate in his hand fell directly to the ground and shattered to the ground.
