Chapter 157 Ying Zheng: The Prince Takes The Lead, And The Qin People Exceed 100 Million!
How powerful the Roman Empire was now, with hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, and its territory spanned the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, directly encompassing the entire Mediterranean Sea, making the Mediterranean Sea their inland sea.
The Qin army continued to advance westward, and suddenly there seemed to be some chemical reaction.
The entire Roman Empire was in a state of excitement, and all the soldiers of the empire were dispatched to the border to prepare for the attack.
But soon, they realized the power of the Qin army that swept across Asia. Thousands of registered disciples of Yinxian Peak directly killed their army of more than 400,000.
Then the Yuezhi cavalry and Qin soldiers behind began to wildly harvest the defeated Roman Empire army.
In just half a day, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out.
This news was like a hurricane that instantly swept through all the cities in the Roman Empire. Immediately, countless people were horrified and let out heart-piercing wails.
"The Maurya Dynasty could not stop it, and the Seleucid Dynasty was also destroyed. Now it is our turn after all."
"Oh my god, these people are followers of the Devil, Devil!"
“Is this also God’s arrangement?”
Countless nobles in the Roman Empire were filled with fear and horror. They didn't understand how they could be defeated so quickly. Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed.
If this kind of thing didn't really happen, it would be like a fantasy.
The king of the Roman Empire, called the head of state, was called Augustus. At this time, when he heard the bad news coming back from the front line, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
The empire's military strength has been completely lost. Next, there is no resistance and the enemy is allowed to advance straight in. There is no doubt that the Roman Empire is coming to an end.
Next, things progressed as everyone expected, like a hot knife cutting through butter. Many cities in the Roman Empire were conquered one after another, and the capital Constantinople was also destroyed.
Augustus committed suicide on the throne, and the Roman Empire fell.
The next step is the familiar elimination of local sects, annihilation of some die-hard believers who attempt to resist, missionary work and the establishment of temples to spread the glory of the Taoist.
"The dark ages are coming!"
"We have been abandoned by the Lord!"
"Why is this happening, God!"
Countless God believers cried miserably, watching churches being overthrown and buildings in the East being built. They would all have no choice but to believe in Tao Zun.
Dao Zun's faith also grew rapidly, and the so-called Lord was quickly abandoned by them and swept into the dust of history.
All this is because they discovered that these preachers really have magical powers that can manifest themselves, and possess incredible power that transcends ordinary people.
And these are things that previous sects never had.
One is a real god, and the other is an illusory god. The choice is naturally very obvious.
In addition to a few die-hards, the disciples who follow the name of Yinxian Peak and perform one or two magical spells wherever they go or directly use Internal Energy to show their sanctity are enough to sway and conquer countless people to convert to Taoist.
After the Roman Empire was annihilated, a large part of the Qin army and the Da Yueshi tribe were left behind, as well as some of the registered disciples of Yinxian Peak to preach.
The remaining people are still continuing to spread and conquer many small countries in surrounding Europe, Asia and Africa.
And when the Roman Empire and surrounding territories were gradually under stable rule, the Qin Dynasty was still developing steadily and rapidly.
The speed of steam locomotives has been increased. The speed of newly produced steam locomotives can reach two hundred miles and half an hour. The number of carriages has been increased to 15. The rails have been laid beyond the Hetao to the north of Yinshan Mountain.
As a result, the Neptune Emperor's meat and furs were transported to the Central Plains one after another.
From Hetao and other places to Xianyang City, it is more than 1,400 miles. In the past, even if you were riding a fine horse, it would take seven or eight days to get there.
If traveling by carriage, it would take more than ten days to arrive, and the wind and sun along the way would greatly affect the weather.
Now, it only takes a few hours to be delivered.
It is farther from Xianyang City to Sishui County, but in one day, these meats can be transported to Sishui County and other inland areas, and they are all fresh and alive.
As a result, the price of meat in various parts of Daqin suddenly plummeted. Many poor people who could not afford meat before could now have a bite of meat every day.
And a large number of goods from around the Central Plains can also be sold to places outside the Hetao. With one more channel, commodity trading has become more prosperous.
"The next step is to build railway tracks across the western territories and completely bring those places under formal rule.
After seeing that the opening of steam locomotives outside the Hetao had provided huge benefits to Daqin, Ying Zheng immediately became even more passionate about the laying of railway tracks later.
The railway track traverses Asia and Europe, which will bring great convenience to the rule of Daqin, and at the same time, it can also support the more vigorous development of Daqin.
There are also steam locomotives in the south. Now they are being built not only in the three counties of Lingnan, but also in Southeast Asia outside Xiang County.
A large number of fields are being cultivated, rice and other grains are continuously transported to the inland, and a large amount of commodities are also rushed into Lingnan and Southeast Asia. There are scenes of bustling development everywhere.
As people's lives have generally become better, the fertility rate has also skyrocketed in recent years. Especially in the past two years, there is no need for government urging, and men and women of the right age are highly motivated to get married.
"Everyone should be more active in having babies. From now on, Great Qin will depend on them,"
Ying Zheng looked at the statistical data 807 handed over by Li Si and couldn't help but happily slapped his thigh repeatedly. This was a good thing.
Now, with the help of the disciples of Yinxian Peak, Great Qin is expanding its territory everywhere, almost to the end.
Such a large territory requires a large number of Qin people to participate. It is best to increase the population more than ten times to hundreds of millions.
Fusu, who was standing not far away, could not help but twitch at the corner of his eye. When his father was talking just now, he clearly glanced at him.
In the past few years, under Ying Zheng's urging, Fusu had been very active in having children. The concubines had several more rooms and all of them gave birth to children.
What's wrong? It seems that my father is still not satisfied and wants to continue?
Fusu couldn't help but murmur to himself.
But considering that he has dozens of brothers and sisters, it seems somewhat understandable that his father is dissatisfied with his current childbirth efficiency.
And now, due to rapid advances in medicine, the survival rates of infants and pregnant women have also greatly improved.
In addition, if something happens to the Bloodline of Fusu and others, Ying Zheng will naturally not stand idly by. The power of true energy is enough to solve many diseases.
"Princes like Fusu must live more lives and take the lead..."
Thinking of the rapid growth of the Qin people, Ying Zheng's time couldn't help but sweep past Fusu on one side.
Not to mention hundreds of millions, at least breaking over 100 million shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
