As the voice of the poison envoy fell, the entire Qin Palace was silent for an instant, and only the rapid breathing of everyone could be heard.

Astound!

Speechless!

Unbelievable!

Wang Wu kept swallowing his saliva, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

He just asked this question, wanting to use Daqin's million-strong army to severely suppress the arrogance of this ignorant envoy of a small state, and give these barbarians a Great Qin shock, but he didn't expect to be shocked by the other party's backhand.

This poison messenger just said how many troops are there in their country?

"1,298 million."

The corners of Wang Wu's mouth twitched slightly.

He is responsible for the country's fiscal revenue and expenditure, and is very sensitive to numbers.

The word "100 million" was generally used in the pre-Qin and Qin and Han dynasties, and the meaning was not quite the same as that of later generations.

"Poetry" cloud: There are also Gaoxiao, trillions and Zi.

Another example is the "Treatise on the Passage of Qin", which says "according to the city of 100 million zhang".

Anyway, this is a super big number, much larger than 10,000, and it is rarely used in life, and is mostly used in articles as an exaggerated decoration.

Now, the poison envoy uses the jerky Qin language to directly refer to their country's military strength with 100 million, which is simply incredible.

Let's put aside the 100 million words, just the fraction of the back, it is far beyond the imagination of the Qin people.

Qin State can send troops at the same time with the strength of the whole world?

According to Wang Wu's estimates, I am afraid that it is around seven or eight hundred thousand, and it is okay to exaggerate a little and call it a million army.

But a fraction of the strength of the poisonous country, that is 98 million people, which is more than the total population of Great Qin, do you say that it is scary.

Except for Wang Wu, the other ministers in the court had different expressions and looked at each other.

The right prime minister coughed a few times, the left prime minister Wang Juan's eyes widened, Tingwei Li Si frowned, and even the crown prince Fusu was shocked.

Anyway, whether they believe it or not, everyone's first reaction is shock.

Even the First Emperor on the emperor's couch, the disdain on his face instantly receded, and he squinted his eyes and looked at the envoy of the poisonous country.

Seeing that his words shocked all the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, the envoy Singh raised his head proudly, and he really had the demeanor of an envoy of a great power.

At this moment, a laugh of "poof" sounded in the court, which was particularly harsh and eye-catching.

Singh looked for prestige, only to see that the person who laughed turned out to be a Qin man in his twenties, looking at his appearance and dress, he had quite a status in the Qin State.

"What are you laughing at without being satisfied?"

Singh asked in the Qin language he had just learned.

Seeing that the poison messenger was alarmed by laughter, he asked himself what he was laughing at.

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched, he was really happy.

It's hilarious.

Zhao Tuo knows that the country of poison has always been different, and it is a country where a motorcycle can carry dozens of people.

Even in terms of quantitative units, the body poisoner is also a variety of innovations, what Ganges sand, a monk, that by him and other units have come out.

It is said that a unit that consists of him, equivalent to 10 to the 108th power, can be called extremely terrifying.

The ministers of the Qin State were restricted by the times and did not understand the entire world pattern, so they were naturally shocked by the words of this poisonous envoy.

Zhao Tuo is clear, there is still an army of 1.298 billion, I am afraid that there are not so many people on the whole earth in this era.

At present, we are still in the classical era of human civilization, and all kinds of science and technology and productive forces are still in a relatively primitive period. A country with tens of millions of people is already a top power, enough to dominate one side, and 100 million words are simply unthinkable.

But this envoy of the poisonous country not only dares to think, but can also say it casually, with this courage and cheekiness, he can be invincible in the world.

Zhao Tuo shook his head and smiled: "The envoy just said that there is an army of hundreds of millions of people who are poisonous, so I don't know how big the country is?" ”

Singh was stunned, how could he know how big the poisonous land was, but it didn't bother him.

The body poison envoy said loudly on the spot: "My body poison is the most powerful country in the world, in the words of your Qin people, our land is 500 billion hectares. ”

500 billion hectares!

As soon as these words came out, a bunch of people were stunned again.

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched, and he secretly praised: "Awesome." ”

Soon, Wang Wu and other ministers scolded: "Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

"Nonsense, nonsense! How can there be such a big country in the world! ”

"Exaggerated and false, absolutely fake!"

If you can stand on this court, no one will be a fool, you ministers have never seen this kind of battle, and the first time they met, they were shocked by the huge number in the mouth of the poisonous messenger.

But as long as you think about it a little and look at the other party's appearance, you will know how problematic this matter is.

Bragging.

In the past, when the Seven Kingdoms were competing for hegemony in the world, when the strategist and lobbyist were all over the place, they were also full of big words, which was similar to the appearance and posture of this poisonous messenger.

It's just that those lobbyists and strategists, at most, they are already bragging to the limit by saying that millions of people with armor are already boasting, who dares to use 100 million as a unit?

In the face of the accusations of the ministers of Qin, Singh was undaunted.

He even said with a smile: "The Qin State is only a country in the north, and it is normal to not know how big the powerful country in the south is." Now that we are trading with your Qin State, exchanging and buying and selling goods with each other, this is a good thing, so don't refuse. ”

On the emperor's couch, the First Emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and anger burned in his chest.

"Your Majesty, please also hand over this poisonous messenger to the minister, it only takes three moments, and the minister can let him know how to speak."

Li Si observed his words, immediately stood up, and opened his mouth to ask for his life.

"Well, pull it down."

The First Emperor opened his mouth expressionlessly.

Seeing that Li Si, the court lieutenant, asked for his life, and the First Emperor agreed, Zhao Tuo looked at the poisonous envoy's gaze and suddenly felt a little more sympathy.

Let you brag about it, it's over.

It's just that what Zhao Tuo didn't expect was that when Lang Wei went to the palace and wanted to drag Singh down, the poisonous messenger was still struggling and screaming.

"Emperor of the Qin people, if you dare to hurt me, I will have a poisonous country's 1.2 billion army, and I will set foot on your Qin country."

"1.2 billion troops!"

The ministers were in an uproar, this envoy even dared to threaten the Great Qin Emperor, this is really the first time in the world.

The crown prince Fusu was even more indignant, and asked: "Father, this barbarian envoy has spoken wildly, and he will be severely punished." ”

The First Emperor was expressionless, but there were green tendons bulging on his forehead.

Zhao Tuo was speechless, today it was really a knife to cut his butt and opened his eyes.

He muttered: "Looking at Li Si's appearance, I'm afraid I'm going to be waterboarded, I hope you can stand it." ”

……

The envoy of the poisonous country, plus the time it took to be taken out and brought back in, lasted a quarter of an hour.

Then he was completely defeated under the watering of Great Qin, when his face was covered with water stains, and when he was dragged up to the main hall by Lang Wei again, he was already pale, his face was full of horror, and he looked at the eyes of the Qin people around him as if he was looking at evil ghosts.

"Tell me, what kind of country are you poisoned?"

Tingwei Li Si sat back in his place and spoke coldly.

This time, Singh has lost the arrogance he had just now, and he wanted to use a 1.2 billion army to level the Qin State.

He lowered his head and explained to the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State in a voice that was about to cry, 1510 about the situation of their poisonous country.

"We still have 2,000 war elephants and about 100,000 troops in our poisonous country......"

Zhao Tuo listened attentively and quickly understood the general situation of the other party.

The Poison Country, to be precise, is the Mauryan Empire of India, named after its founder from a family that raised peacocks.

This dynasty once had a generation of male lord Ashoka, who conquered the four directions by force, so that the Mauryan Empire continued to expand, ruling almost all the Indian subcontinent, its national strength was very strong, at its strongest, the whole army is afraid of as many as 500,000 or 600,000 people.

Although it was too exaggerated for this poisonous envoy to boast that they had an army of 1.2 billion, an army of hundreds of thousands should not be underestimated, enough to be called a big country in the world.

When the First Emperor heard that this Ashoka had made the Mauryan Dynasty incomparably brilliant and powerful by conquering everywhere and unifying the poisonous land, he couldn't help but praise it: "This Ashoka is like me." ”

However, according to the messenger Singh, the greatest Ashoka King in the history of their poison kingdom had died more than ten years ago.

Soon after Ashoka's death, the vast empire under his rule began to break up.

In today's poisonous place, although the royal family of the Mauryan Dynasty still has a reputation, in fact, the royal power has long declined, and the princes of various places have been divided.

There are many large and small countries, which are at war with each other, and the situation is chaotic.

"A rich land divided by the princes."

The First Emperor's eyes lit up.
