Chapter 179: The Shock of the Fanbang Barbarians!
Those who came in a hurry are also in a hurry.
He has spent most of his life in a small county, so after getting the opportunity, he is naturally more enterprising than others.
After roughly agreeing with Zhao Si on the foreign policy towards Korea, Li Shiqi went back to focus on studying the information of the feudal empires outside Liaodong.
Diplomacy is similar to fighting, everything depends on play, you can only formulate a general policy, and in the end, it depends on the improvisation of the situation.
Xianyang became very lively because of the recruitment order, and Zhao Si was also busy recruiting talents, and the first emperor and the little slave were completely pinched by the little slave when they first met, so that the first emperor, who had always been autocratic, actually began to transfer power to Zhao Si and the prince Fusu.
Well, in order to take out more time to spend with the great-grandson.
So Zhao Si once again liked to mention the overtime package, and in addition, he also planned to go out in person to ask Tai Shiteng, who had already been Zhishi, to go out again.
Although this is a halfway monk, he is a representative figure of the new official, and his talent is undoubted.
Zhao Si was so busy that he didn't even have time to spend with his children.
And the other side...... Far away on the other side of the ocean, after the return of Maha, the envoy to Great Qin and the younger brother of the king of Ye Diaoguo, he also ushered in some small shocks from Great Qin.
"A country as large as the Mauryan Empire?" Ye Tiaoguo's lord Yan Yan listened to his younger brother Maha's description and gasped.
Fortunately, the country is located in Indonesia, so the impact on the climate is not very large.
"It's just that the territory is as huge as the Peacock Empire, in fact, what I have seen along the way, the majesty of its cities, the spaciousness of its roads, the strength of its soldiers, and the solemnity of its national capital are not comparable to the Mauryan Empire, you must understand this, my brother!" Maha emphasized emphatically when he heard his voice.
What is the concept of today's Daqin, who was born in the country of Ye Diao?
It can almost be regarded as a true kingdom of heaven.
After all, the most powerful country around the country of Ye Tiao was none other than the Mauryan Dynasty opened up by Emperor Ashoka.
The Mauryan Dynasty is no longer good now, and the great unified kingdoms in advance seem to have a fate, the problem of heirs.
Emperor Ashoka struggled all his life to establish the Peacock Dynasty that shook the Indian continent, but his son couldn't pull his hips, and when he reached the generation of the giant car king, he was directly defeated by the old man.
The Mauryan Empire under the rule of the Giant Car King has been torn apart, partly because of the problems left by Lao Tzu, but the main reason is because of the absurd rule of the Giant Car King.
is so happy, mean and unkind, loyal and treacherous.
However, according to the course of history, the reign of the Giant Car King will continue for nearly twenty years.
As the first great unified dynasty, the Peacock Dynasty was actually a little stronger than the historical Great Qin.
The second emperor of Great Qin died, and the third of the Mauryan Dynasty died, and the national fortunes were longer than those of Great Qin.
Of course, history has changed completely beyond recognition, at least in East Asia.
The current Great Qin is in full swing, and it is not a little stronger than the Peacock Dynasty that is about to enter the countdown to life.
After Maha went to Daqin, he had become a complete Qin blow.
In Maha's heart, the Peacock Dynasty under the rule of the Giant Car King was completely unqualified to touch the Great Qin Empire.
As much as he wanted, he could only fantasize that perhaps the Mauryan Empire under the rule of Ashoka could be compared with Great Qin.
"This Daqin...... Is it really as strong as you say? There was a deep suspicion on his face.
After all, he had been beaten by Great Qin from afar, and he did not doubt the strength of Great Qin.
However, as the lord of the neighboring Mauryan Dynasty, he knew more about the strength of the Mauryan Dynasty.
Although the current Giant Car King is not comparable to his grandfather, he is still an existence that Ye Tiaoguo needs to look up to.
Even such an existence can't be compared to that Great Qin?
"Do you know the king of Qin? His people call him the First Emperor, and like Ashoka, they have all built a great feat of dominating the world, their fleet is strong enough to cross the sea to the waters of the country of Ye Tiao, just a fleet, it is difficult for the country of Ye to deal with, have you ever heard of the fleet of the Mauryan Dynasty to go to such a distant place?
In fact, my elder brother, Ye Tiaoguo is not too far away from the Mauryan Dynasty, but except for the Mauryan Dynasty under the rule of Ashoka, Ye Tiaoguo is completely independent.
With my knowledge, I really can't describe what a great king it is, what a huge country, I'm afraid, only the Mauryan Dynasty under the rule of Ashoka can be compared with Great Qin, and even less than Great Qin! Maha said earnestly.
"In fact, after the defeat, my subordinates and I have been reflecting on the defeat of the war, and some people have told me that it is because our subjects cannot be fully commanded, because our ships are not huge enough, because our soldiers are not brave enough, after all, the Qin State is thousands of miles away from here, we occupy a favorable location, and there is no possibility of defeating them, although the Qin State was difficult to defeat before, but in the final analysis, it can only threaten the sea area of the Ye Diao State, and there has been no landing operation for a long time, and the commander of the Qin State knows very well that it is thousands of miles away, and the difficulty of landing operations is ......." He was shocked by Maha's description, and at the same time, his inner stubbornness as a king made him reluctant to bow his head.
After all, compared to Great Qin, the Peacock Dynasty was by his side, and Ye Diaoguo was not controlled, and it was too difficult for him to directly admit that it was just a war in which the losses were not too big.
"After all, in this war, our losses are not too great, it is just that the shipping has been interrupted for a while, and the Qin State is thousands of miles apart, and their logistics supply will only be more difficult than ours...... " Xie Yu said.
Logistics costs vary with distance.
The same number of people, the distance is doubled, and the logistics cost is basically doubled.
If the distance is far enough, a few hundred catties of grain may be consumed, and only one catty of grain and grass may be transported to the front line, which is well known to those who have fought in the war.
Hearing Maha's description, he knew that Daqin was very far away from here, and it would take more than half a year to sail smoothly by boat, and such a long supply line, no matter how powerful the other party was, it should not be like a great enemy.
"Oh my God! Brother! I don't allow you to have such dangerous thoughts! Maha jumped up in shock when he heard his brother's words, and then looked at his brother's face seriously.
"Do you know what kind of king it is? Do you know what kind of kingdom it is? Do you know what they have?
You have not seen it with your own eyes, and I have tried my best to describe it for nothing, so that you do not have such thoughts.
My brother, do you know how much grain is per mu in Daqin?
More than 500 pounds! Maybe you don't know the unit of catty, their yield per mu is five times that of Ye Diaoguo, not only that, but I also heard that they have a grain that can produce 5,000 catties per mu! You know what that means? ”
"Oh my God! Is it fifty times the yield of our grain per acre? Five thousand pounds you are talking about? He exclaimed!
"Yes, my brother! So all you can think of is relying on a long supply line to drag down Great Qin?
But they are not short of food, it's just that Ye Tiaoguo is too far away to be included in their rule, but if you really anger that king, then the fate that awaits Ye Tiaoguo will be devastating, besides, brother, you should know that for Great Qin, they don't need to destroy Ye Diaoguo, they just need to destroy us, can you really guarantee that all the nobles in Ye Diaoguo obey your command and have no dissent?
Now that the war has just stopped, have you forgotten why Ye Tiaoguo urgently needs to stop the war? Have you forgotten why Ye Tiaoguo provoked such a terrifying country as Daqin? Maha spoke.
Hearing this, he fell into deep thought......
Oh, yes...... Why the war? Because the nobles of Ye Diaoguo took the initiative to attack on their own initiative.
Why the desperate need for a truce?
Because some areas were forced to cut off contact due to the attack of Great Qin, after all, this is an archipelago landform, and once the news is extended or interrupted, the control of the place will be drastically reduced.
Over time, it may not even be possible to maintain the reign as well.
Ye Tiaoguo is a country with a slave system and a feudal system, and the ruler's rule over his subordinates is not very strong, and it is not possible to compare with Great Qin, who has already stepped into the road of centralization.
Not to mention all the two or five boys, there must be some vassals harboring evil intentions.
Indeed, there is no need for Great Qin to be an enemy of the entire Ye Diao Country, he only needs to be targeted at him.
The premise of fighting guerrilla warfare is to have the support of the broad masses, and the basic conditions are insufficient.
"You're right, brother! Thanks to you for reminding me! It is imperative that we eliminate the evil vassals as soon as possible, recover their territories, and send as many vassals as possible to the rest of the vassals' territories to carry out my will.
Other than that...... Do you think that after signing an alliance with Daqin, can you exchange them with Daqin for their grain yield of 5,000 catties per mu?
If Da Qin doesn't want to, five hundred catties will do! He asked.
"I'm glad that you can see the importance of grain, and the mighty kings regard cultivation as the most important thing, but brother, you have to understand that like you, the monarch of Great Qin is even greater, and he understands better what this kind of grain means to a country, I think...... Maybe...... It's going to be hard. Maha had a look of embarrassment on his face.
In the process of envoying Great Qin, he did not hint at such a thing.
After all, this kind of high-yield food, anyone with a little brain, knows how important it is.
It's a pity that Maha was greeted with blatant disregard.
As for secretly bringing it back from Daqin? Just think about it.
It was someone's territory, and Maha also came back on Daqin's ship.
If you can sneak it back, there are ghosts.
It is necessary to know that in history, Chen Zhenlong brought back sweet potatoes from the territory of the Netherlands, hiding and risking his life.
This era is ancient, indeed ancient, but no one is stupid.
"Perhaps...... What if you try to negotiate with Qin? For example, with the addition of two more ports, I am even willing to cede Hongye Island and Shidao to Qin. He said.
"If I can get this kind of food, then all the people of the country will believe whatever I say, and will be willing to go to the trouble for me!
Five thousand pounds! Oh, my God! He rubbed his head.
"With this kind of food, I even dare to imagine getting involved in the Mauryan Dynasty, after all, the absurdity of the King of the Giant Wheel can be transmitted to the country of Ye Diao across the sea, and now the nobles of the Peacock Dynasty and the King of the Giant Wheel are separated from Germany, I estimate that his reign may not last long, the foundation laid by Ashoka is being destroyed by him more quickly, people are no longer in awe of Ashoka, and even more so for Buddhism, everyone is fed up with this theory, oh my God, if there can be this kind of food...... We may be able to take advantage of the time when Ashoka has no time to take care of it, and secretly go south, no longer living on the island, but really set foot on the continent and put down roots there! He said.
The history stuff is interesting......
If you look closely, you can see that some of the details are actually terrifying.
Especially in what is now the Indian subcontinent and East Asia......
They all had a great unified dynasty, and they also produced a strong cultural radiation and established a central identity.
Correspondingly, the ...... of the snail islands such as the country of the leaves In fact, it is not much different from the barbarians around the Central Plains.
They were all driven out of the core cultural circle in the process of competing for the world.
For the Mauryan Dynasty, Ye Tiaoguo is actually a barbarian.
Even the mentality of the barbarians is similar to that of the barbarians, and from time to time they want to return to the core cultural circle and take root again.
"My brother...... It's a really rare thing and I might be able to give it a try, but I'm not sure about it! Maha took a deep breath.
"You can talk about it, as long as you can exchange it for food, no matter what the price is, I can accept it!" He spoke.
Maha nodded earnestly.
Great Qin didn't dare to touch porcelain, but the Peacock Dynasty still dared to think about it.
Especially the Peacock Dynasty under the rule of the King of Giant Cars, this thing is about to disgrace his grandfather's face......
Ma Ha was not weak, but as a person who witnessed it, the shock that Qin Guo gave him was too great, so big that it was beyond his imagination.
In fact, it was not only Maha, but the envoys of Ye Diaoguo who followed Maha to Daqin basically suffered from Qinphobia, but Maha was particularly serious.
After Maha took over the task and left, he took a deep breath and slowly knocked on the table.
"Did you hear that?"
"I hear you, Your Majesty!"
"I can't imagine that there is such a great country in the world." He sighed, his eyes full of longing.
"The yield per mu is fifty times that of Ye Diaoguo's grain......"
"Think of a way!" He said seriously.
"I hope that only Ye Tiaoguo can get this kind of food! If Ye Tiaoguo can't get it, then other countries definitely can't get it either! ”
