Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

"Is there any more?" Ying Zheng was obviously not interested in these small forces.

Li Yang nodded, then pointed to the Italian area and said: "There is also an ancient Roman Empire here, which is stronger than the Macedonian Kingdom. It is said that it should be in perennial war with the Macedonian Kingdom at this time."

From 215 BC to 168 BC, ancient Rome launched three Macedonian wars, conquering Macedonia and controlling the whole of Greece.Through the Syrian war and diplomatic means, it controlled parts of West Asia and built a major country that spans Africa, Europe, and Asia and dominates the Mediterranean.Therefore, ancient Rome is still the most powerful force in Europe.

Finally, Li Yang pointed to Tunisia opposite Ancient Rome (Italy), and said, "Here, there is another kingdom called the Carthage Empire, with about [-] troops."

In fact, Hannibal, the leader of the Carthaginian Empire, must be familiar to everyone, and this Hannibal was a man of the same era as Qin Shihuang. This man, together with Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon, was also known as the four major military commanders in Europe, but He has been fighting the Romans to death, and looking at their fights, he knows that he is not at the same level as Qin Shihuang.At its peak, Hannibal took 1 infantry, 6000 cavalry, and dozens of war elephants to fight Rome. When he reached the battlefield, there were only [-] infantry left, and more than [-] cavalry without horses. And a war elephant (it is estimated that both the horse and the elephant ate it).

In the Battle of Zama, the Romans killed 6000 people in Carthage with a loss of [-], and Carthage has been in a slump ever since.Therefore, even if it is called the four major military commanders in Europe, in Li Yang's view, it is nothing more than a round of ten thousand crossbows.

Ying Zheng nodded and continued to ask, "What else?"

Li Yang spread his hands: "No more, these five have already been heard by the minister, and they are the most powerful empire in the world."

Ying Zheng was taken aback: "That's all?"

Li Yang nodded. He really only remembered that these few powers were relatively large, and others like the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Dynasty were not worth mentioning. In the eyes of Daqin, they were completely scumbags. .

Ying Zheng laughed suddenly: "I thought the world was so big, but there were only hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. If they weren't separated from Great Qin by the sea, I must have swept these countries together when I unified the six countries ten years ago. .”

Ying Zheng's words are really not bragging. Think about the fact that Bai Qi killed 40 Zhao troops. If you look at it this way, it is the entire military strength of several countries in the world today.

How could Yingzheng not have the confidence to sweep away these "barbarian tribes" when the Qin army was capable of sweeping even the six kingdoms?

However, the reality is true. For countries in Europe, in every "decisive battle of fate", the total number of troops dispatched by both sides is only tens of thousands, and it is only 10,000+ people in the sky. Really not qualified to let Qin Shihuang face up to it.

Meng Tian's eyes were also bright, because at this time he also saw the hope of sweeping the world, thinking that in the near future, he would lead the Qin army to plant black flags all over the world. What a great achievement this is?

Immediately, he was very excited, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard from Prime Minister Zhong that in today's world, only the Peacock Dynasty is the strongest. As long as our Great Qin destroys this country, and look at the whole world, our Qin army will no longer be invincible."

Ying Zheng nodded: "What General Meng said is very true, but the world is separated by sea or mountains. It is not easy to sweep all countries right now."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Li Yang said: "Your Majesty has the ambition to unify the world. The unification of the world is only a matter of time. Right now, we only need to make a good layout. When the time comes in the future, the Qin army will be able to sweep the world."

"Li Yang, how do you think the layout should be?" Ying Zheng smiled.

Li Yang pondered for a while, and said: "The world is divided into seven continents by the sea. If our Great Qin wants to rule the world, for the present plan, we must start building warships, in order to be fully loaded with the Qin army in the future, and the need for expeditions across the ocean. Second, is Start preparations, go north to destroy the Xiongnu and Donghu, control the grassland, train the army and horses, and prepare for the land expedition. In addition..."

"Look, Your Majesty!"

On the globe, Li Yang pointed out the Silk Road of the later Han Dynasty, and said: "My Great Qin still needs to attack the Yi tribes such as Yang and Yuezhi in the west, so that the Qin army can go west by land, conquer the Anxi Empire, and reach the ancient Roman Empire. and the Macedonian Empire. In this way, the sea and land expeditions will surely unify the world quickly.”

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, and found that the land expedition route pointed out by Li Yang was quite good for attacking the Parthia Empire, and even advancing directly into Europe.

Meng Tian at the side said: "The route to the west pointed out by the Prime Minister is indeed feasible, but now the Hetao in the north has entered our Qin territory, and the north is a place of bitter cold. Is it necessary to rush to fight the Xiongnu?"

Li Yang said disapprovingly, "Taiwei, I actually said the day before yesterday that the Xiongnu is a serious problem and must be eliminated in order to ensure the peace of the northern grasslands. Otherwise, there are hidden dangers in the north, and we, Daqin, will not be able to go west with all our strength. .So, the Huns must be destroyed!"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then turned to Liu Xi and asked, "Wang Li has any news from the frontier recently?"

In fact, Ying Zheng no longer regards the Xiongnu who have been driven to the extremely cold place as an enemy, but Li Yang said that he had a hunch before, and today he heard Li Yang once again proposed to destroy the Xiongnu, so he wanted to Look at Wang Li who is guarding the frontier, what news has come recently.

At this time, Liu Xi hurriedly said: "General Wang Li has just arrived this morning with a memorial. Your Majesty wants to see it now?"

The emperor nodded: "Bring it."

"Here!" Liu Xi quickly turned around and ran back to the apse, and soon after, he fetched a memorial.

Ying Zheng took the memorial, unpacked it, and then the expression on his face became weird...

Chapter 153

???

Seeing Ying Zheng's strange expression in an instant, everyone had question marks on their faces.

Could it be... what happened in the frontier?

"Your Majesty, the frontier... are you okay?"

As Meng Tian who had just returned from the frontier, when the emperor saw Wang Li's memorial, his expression changed, he felt a little lost, and couldn't help asking.

In fact, it stands to reason that if there is a military situation in the frontier, Wang Li will immediately send the military situation to the Military and Political Temple.But what Wang Li presented was a memorial, which meant that it was not a big deal.

However, what frightened Meng Tian was, if it wasn't for some major event in the frontier, how could the emperor's face change drastically?

Everyone was also very curious, what happened?

At this time, Ying Zheng seemed to have finished reading the memorial, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he handed the memorial to Liu Xi who was beside him, and said, "Read it for everyone."

Liu Xi took over Zhang Zou, and then read: "Chen Wangli, thank you for your majesty's kindness, you have been promoted to guard the frontier, and you can't go back to Xianyang to thank you face to face, so you can only hand me a letter..."

Everyone can tell that this is a note to thank you.

Apparently, it was because Wang Li was promoted to general and succeeded Meng Tian in the frontier army, so he wrote a letter to express his loyalty.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that the change in the emperor's face was definitely not about Wang Li's gratitude, but something else.So I listened patiently...

"In today's northern frontier, thanks to the great achievements of General Meng Tian, ​​the Xiongnu have withdrawn from the Hetao for hundreds of miles. Since Maodun seized the throne and became self-reliant, he has been as timid as a mouse and not to be feared. According to reports from grassland spies, King Donghu heard that Maodun had killed his father to stand on his own feet. All the ministers said that the Chollima was the horse of the Xiongnu, so don’t give it to them. However, Maodun said, how can you spare a horse for the neighboring country? So he dedicated the Chollima to King Donghu.”

"Just a few days ago, King Donghu felt that Mao Dun was afraid of him, so he sent an envoy to ask Mao Dun for his Shanyu Yanshi. The officials of Mao Dun were all angry, but Mao Dun also said how could he be stingy with a woman to the leading country? So he gave his favorite Yan family to Donghu. It can be seen that the Huns today are not what they used to be, and their Shanyu Maodun is even more timid. Enemy, how dare you offend the might of Great Qin? So, please don't worry about the frontiers..."

"........."

silence!

After Liu Xi finished reading Wang Li's memorial, everyone was dumbfounded!In the entire hall, there was a dead silence.

how can that be?how can that be?

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty booed and were shocked.

Because of what was mentioned in Wang Li's memorial, they had already heard it once in the Qilin Hall a few days ago, and they heard it verbatim.

Yes, these things are actually exactly the same as what Li Yang said when he guessed a few days ago!

This time, everyone really looked at Li Yang as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone still remembers very clearly that Li Yang said a few days ago that maybe Donghu King would think that the Huns are easy to bully and not to be afraid of, and he might ask the Huns for property, Maxima, or even the queen of Modun.

At that time, everyone felt that what Li Yang said was too absurd. No matter how arrogant Donghu King was, he would never dare to ask the Xiongnu for the Yan family.

However, all this has actually happened now...

Moreover, the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun actually did what Li Yang said that day, obediently dedicated his woman to King Donghu...
