Chapter Fifty-Six: Surprise from Fanbang Friends!

At present, Daqin's ports to the sea are mainly Langya and Penglai.

These two ports have undertaken the task of going to sea to find immortals in the early years, and after Daqin decided to open the sea, both ports have been expanded, especially Penglai, which is still the main construction and improvement base of Daqin's ships.

It is worth mentioning that after the decision to open the sea, with the help of Zhao Si's suggestions and drawings, Daqin's sea ships began to be updated and iterated.

In the past, ships were mainly responsible for navigating inland and offshore areas, so they were mainly flat-bottomed, but now nearly three years have passed, and the first new sea ships in Daqin have finally been put into the sea.

In the past, large ships resembled pavilions, and because of the shallow draft, there were more buildings on the deck.

Nowadays, the buildings on the decks of sea ships have been greatly reduced and moved below deck, in short, from an open-air format to a basement-based format.

In this way, because of the lightweight structure and the steeple-bottomed structure, the stability of the boat in the open sea is greatly improved, and the improved sail speed makes the sailing speed faster, but the load is also reduced to a certain extent.

At present, the sea ships of Daqin are relatively close to the ship design of the Age of Discovery, and the format of sea ships and inland ships is completely different.

Maha landed on the territory of Daqin from Penglai Port, and the first feeling was that it was big!

Penglai and Langya, as the two most important ports to the sea in Daqin, were built quite large, capable of accommodating hundreds of large ships at the same time, and there were grain warehouses and weapons warehouses near the ports.

The architecture of Daqin is not luxurious, the main thing is a calm atmosphere.

However, this low-key and massive architectural art is still beyond Maha's imagination.

Maha is the earliest slave country in Indonesia, and if the level of science and technology has to be benchmarked with the historical civilization of the Central Plains, it is probably the Xia and Shang period......

Initially mastered the copper smelting process, has a certain ability to develop animal husbandry, has a certain cluster production capacity, and the domestic class is slaves, savages, citizens, nobles, and monarchs from bottom to top.

It's all there, but it's primitive in comparison.

There is no comparison with Daqin at all.

"It's hard to imagine...... There is more than one port like this in Daqin! Maha had a look of wonder on his face, like a wild man seeing a cluster of towns for the first time.

Everything in Ye Tiaoguo seemed so primitive and scarce compared to Great Qin.

He was blown away by everything here.

"The house here is so huge, what a delicate lacquer, what a beautiful pattern...... this is the first time Maha entered the room to rest in Penglai.

With the passage of time and the development of society, lacquerware has gradually begun to spread to the whole society in Daqin, and it is still an exclusive luxury item for the nobility in Ye Tuo.

When he enjoyed his meal for the first time, he also let out an unbelievable sigh.

"What a fine bronze, what a fine craftsmanship and what a skilled craftsman, and what a vessel like this is absolutely priceless!" Maha sighed again.

After a night's rest, the envoy of Ye Tiaoguo officially set off towards Xianyang, accompanied by more than 100 armor soldiers, all of whom were on horses and wearing armor!

"I saw more than thousands of soldiers like this when I got off the ship, and I heard that there were millions of such soldiers in the Qin State, and this country was prosperous, and it was not comparable to Ye Diao."

"Millions?"

"I'm afraid that there are not millions of people in Ye Diaoguo!" The accompanying officials let out an exclamation in bird language.

Aside from the huge number of savages and slaves, it is true that there are less than a million citizens in Ye Tiaoguo who have legal status.

"With such an elite soldier who can be fully armed with one person and one horseman, I am afraid that there are less than 10,000 people in the entire Ye Diao Country, it is really difficult for me to think of a way to be the enemy of such a country."

Maha originally came to explore the truth and truth, Daqin was very generous, and he didn't hide it at all, and it was precisely because of the generous display that Maha had great fear.

If it weren't for the vast sea, Maha would have had reason to believe that the Qin State would be able to destroy Ye Diao easily.

No, the sea doesn't give Maha enough security either.

It turns out that the naval battle that made the entire Ye Diao Kingdom have a headache, I'm afraid that for Daqin, it just freed up a hand to toss for a while?

"When I go back, I will persuade my brother! It would not be wise to provoke such a king who commands a million-strong army. ”

"It's just that Great Qin has been at war with our country for a long time, and it was Tunamu who started a border provocation without permission, and now that Ye Diao has made a bad deal with Great Qin, I really don't know how to calm the anger of this king." Maha rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache.

After the ships of the Qin State entered the waters of the Ye Diao Kingdom, a feudal nobleman became greedy......

To be honest, this naval battle was the first to provoke Ye Tiaoguo, and Ye Tiaoguo really did not make any sense.

Now, what is in front of Maha is.

How should he avoid the worst, angering such a powerful country is really not a good thing for Ye Tiaoguo.

Maha hated the Tunam who provoked provocation on the side.

The country was established in the area of Java Island and was the first country in Indonesia.

Because of the topography of the island group, Ye Tiaoguo really kicked Beihai Kindergarten and met an opponent.

The geographical conditions here are quite superior, there are no strong foreign enemies, and for Ye Diaoguo, it is a constant annexation, expansion, annexation, expansion.

And in the original history, it is true, as a slave country, Ye Tiaoguo was founded for 700 years before finally dying in civil strife and completely ended.

And now, Ye Tiaoguo has provoked a powerful opponent.

The intensity is directly full, and the pressure comes up all of a sudden.

"I hope that the king of Great Qin is a magnanimous monarch who can forgive us for our rude offenses......"

The Maha and the others were a little melancholy under the escort of the soldiers, talking in bird language, loudly plotting how to calm the anger of the king of Qin.

Within a moment, the envoy of Ye Tiaoguo came to the gate of Penglai City and was about to set foot on the official road.

After leaving the city, looking back at Penglai, the tall city walls and heavy city gates left an indelible impression on Maha's heart.

It is just a relatively ordinary city, and its huge and prosperous thickness is already comparable to the national capital of Ye Diao Kingdom.

And after leaving the city, the shock has not stopped.

The unimaginably wide and smooth official road attracted Maha's attention.

"Oh my God, it's so wide!"

Ma Ha stretched his hand and gestured, Daqin's official road is probably able to accommodate more than a dozen horses at the same time, and the most important thing is that the bricks on the ground are neatly arranged, as if the person who built this road has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even the size of each brick is almost the same.

Not only that, but Maha was keenly aware that even the trees on both sides of the road were exactly the same.

The same kind of tree, even the spacing between trees is almost the same, and as far as the eye can see, it is a neat straight line, as if it were copying and pasting.

"Unbelievable!"

Maha subconsciously clenched his fists......

Thanks to the archipelago landform, the navigation technology tree of the country has developed relatively quickly, although it cannot do ocean voyages for the time being, but it has established a certain exchange with the Indian mainland.

Historically, Indonesia has been a dumping ground for the culture of the Indian subcontinent.

Therefore, Maha is aware of the concept of a great power.

For example, the big country across the sea from Indonesia, the Mauryan Dynasty!

He had heard the descriptions of the Mauryan Dynasty from others, and had personally talked with merchants from that area, but whether it was from the stories passed down by word of mouth and the records in the classics, they were far less shocking than those brought by Great Qin.

This is a greater kingdom than the Mauryan Empire!

The Mauryan Empire ushered in a true peak under the leadership of the late King Ayu, and compared with the unification of the Qin State, the current Mauryan Empire has almost unified the entire Indian subcontinent.

The first half of his life was the era of "Black Ashoka", mainly through the struggle to secure the throne and the basic unification of India by force, and in about 261 BC when he conquered the kingdom of Karlinga, 150,000 people were captured, 100,000 were killed, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed and wounded. Subsequently, all of India was unified except for the Mysore region. It is said that Emperor Ashoka was so remorseful that he witnessed the massacre during his conquest of the kingdom of Karlinga and stopped his military expansion.

The second half of his life was the era of "White Ashoka", and efforts to promote Buddhism throughout the country contributed to the prosperity of this world religion. The reign of Emperor Ashoka became an era of unprecedented power in the history of ancient India. He made Buddhism the state religion and did not persecute other sects, but instead generously contributed to Brahmanism and Jainism. Because of Ashoka's emphasis on religion, political tolerance, and non-violence, he ruled India for 41 years to the cheers of the populace.

Under the vigorous promotion of Ashoka, Buddhism swept the entire Indian subcontinent, and Buddhism naturally came to Indonesia.

In terms of age, King Ayu was older than the First Emperor, who lived from 303 to 232 BC, while the First Emperor was from 259 BC to 210 BC.

Ahyuwang died earlier than the first emperor, and now Ahyuwang has died, and after his death, he was succeeded by his son Sadetafan, that is, Peacock II, who succeeded to the throne for eight years, and the Peacock Dynasty fast-forwarded to Peacock III.

Also, at this point in time, the ruler of the Mauryan Dynasty is the grandson of King Ahyu, the King of the Giant Car.

Objectively speaking, the two male lords who unified the surrounding territories separately encountered the same problem.

Because there is no historical premise of great unification, the social contradictions are unprecedentedly fierce, and the heirs of both are not very good.

After the death of King Ayu, the Mauryan Empire fell into a situation of fragmentation, and after a series of riots during the period of Mauryan II, the control of the Mauryan Empire over the internal regions of the dynasty has declined slightly.

After the Peacock III succeeded to the throne, he continued to make trouble, lost the authority of the central government, and finally completely played the GG.

Now it is the period of the Mauryan III, the internal contradictions of the Mauryan Dynasty are many, the social contradictions are accumulating, there is no external influence, and the Mauryan Dynasty will fall into war after twenty years, and finally fall apart, fighting for a long time.

Of course, for Maha, even if it has been significantly weakened, the Peacock Dynasty is not something that Ye Tiaoguo can touch.

If you have to compare, then Ye Tiaoguo is probably similar to the Mauryan Empire in the South Vietnam region is to Daqin.

It has a population and farms, but it is a version behind the main civilization.

The only difference is that South Vietnam borders on Great Qin and has to be beaten.

The Mauryan Empire and the Great Qin Empire seemed to be tasked with unifying their respective places, and then suffered roughly the same fate, with social contradictions rising unprecedentedly, with the last second and the third dead.

But the wheels of history have taken a new path.

Because of Zhao Si, a traverser, the First Emperor successfully continued his life and lived out the second life, and the fate of Great Qin went to a new path, but the Peacock Dynasty remained the same and fell into a situation of falling apart.

Obviously, even the Peacock Dynasty of the Celestial Empire cannot be compared with the current Great Qin Empire in Ma Ha's heart, and it can be seen from the shock of Ma Ha and his party along the way.

Every time they go to a city, every time they pass through a place, Maha and the others will feel the greatness of Great Qin and be in awe of everything about Great Qin.

Compared to the huge Mauryan Empire, Maha believes that everything here is more orderly, which shows that the king of Qin must be a monarch with extremely deep rule.

"This is an empire as huge as the Mauryan Empire!" Maha spoke in a deep voice with deep awe in his eyes.

"No, the Peacock Empire doesn't have that kind of warship, and it won't spend so much grain and grass to entangle with Ye Diao for so long!" An official shook his head.

"If Ye Diao has the logistics and sea ship of Daqin, I am afraid that during the period of King Hei Ah, Ye Tiao Guo would have been ruled by the Peacock Dynasty."

"The Peacock Dynasty is closer to us than Great Qin!" Maha also subconsciously agreed.

After that, it seemed to be keenly aware of something.

In this way, it seems that being beaten up by Da Qin and being forced to establish communication with Da Qin is not a bad thing?

Just like the official next to him said, Great Qin, a country that is even more powerful than the Peacock Empire, is too far away from Ye Diao.

Even such a great country can only fight against Ye Diao at sea, and it can only compare quality but not quantity, and it can't even land and fight.

Maha was not an incompetent person, he knew very well how much it would cost to raise troops and expeditions, and it was because of this that he knew the strength of Great Qin, who was able to raise troops across the sea.

So, in the face of such a distant country, the use of force against itself obviously does more harm than good...... Isn't it profitable?

In any case, as long as there are no more active provocations, at least Daqin will not be guilty of raising troops against Ye Diaoguo.

Admittedly, he may not be able to take wealth with him from here.

But what about technology? What about the system? What about culture?

Maha was the king's younger brother and received a fairly excellent education from an early age.

In such a country that does not interfere with the water of its own well, there are too many things that can be obtained.

For example, how did a powerful empire like Great Qin rule over his huge number of people?

(Here, I caught up with a chapter in the car, briefly introducing the situation of Nagada, India, objectively speaking, the Peacock Empire at the same time as the Great Qin is really okay, and it can be regarded as one of the peaks of India.) )
