Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 46 Powerful Dynasties Other Than Great Qin

"Let's talk about it!"

"It's just my opinion, not what I think it is."

In order to prevent the First Emperor from going crazy after hearing this, Chang Yu first clarified the relationship and said that it had nothing to do with him.

"From a grand perspective, the achievements of the First Emperor are indeed undeniable. The merits of the five emperors and the three emperors have achieved the great unification of the Huaxia region."

"Great Qin ruled the country with the law, strengthened the country with the law, and the law was strict. It should be said that the king's mistakes are the same as the people's sins."

Of course, this does not mean that the First Emperor made a mistake, but that his operation did not comply with the rules.

For example, Zhao Gaoben was sentenced to death by Meng Yi, but he was released because of a word from the first emperor.

Although Zhao Gao didn't express his displeasure on the surface, this matter still couldn't be erased from his heart, leaving a foreshadowing for future rebellions.

"Before the laws of the Great Qin, everyone should be equal, but the first emperor was too partial to the clan."

Zhao Gao's surname is Zhao, and Ying Zheng's real name is also Zhao. They are members of the same clan.

It may be that someone was behind Zhao Gao, so Emperor Shi Huang had to let him die.

But this also shows that the First Emperor's methods were not that tyrannical, and he would still be afraid of those who should be afraid.

From this, it can be said that this will become a weakness of the first emperor.

Wow!

How dare this kid speak!

Both Li Si and Wang Ben froze.

This matter is taboo in the palace, no one dares to make any comments.

If it reached the ears of the first emperor, it would be a crime of beheading!

Although none of the parties involved were here, the First Emperor was listening. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face with his hand.

It can also be seen from this that Emperor Shihuang was indeed in a relatively passive position in this matter.

Otherwise, they would not be allowed to discuss it, and wanted to seal the matter up.

Li Si didn't dare to breathe, and had been secretly paying attention to Emperor Shi Huang's reaction.

Seeing that he hadn't been angry from the beginning, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"That's it?"

When Shi Huang saw that Chang Yu stopped talking, he asked if there was anything else.

"Yes, of course there is!"

Chang Yu took a sip of fresh water to quench his thirst.

"As mentioned before, large-scale construction projects will waste people and money. It is wrong to only limit our vision to Asia. Our vision is to the Central Plains."

"As everyone knows, there are even bigger world territories and powerful dynasties outside of the Central Plains!"

"As mentioned earlier, the Alexander Empire, the ancient Roman Empire, and the combined army composed of Greek culture,"

"By the way, within the Asian plate, that is, not far from Daqin's house, there is a great ancient Indian country."

"The world is not that small, and the target should not be limited to Asia."

"I think our Great Qin has millions of elite soldiers, but they are limited to a small place like Asia or even the Central Plains!"

Leaving millions of elite soldiers not to fight, but to fight to the death with their own people, this is simply the fate of such a powerful country like Daqin in vain.

"If Qin Shihuang knew how big the world was back then, our Chinese territory could at least encompass the entire Asia!"

Although the Eight-Power Allied Forces will enter Beijing later, they will sign various treaties to carve up the country. But!

If the First Emperor had really done this, I really don’t know if the Eight Kingdoms would still exist.

Listening to Chang Yu chattering incessantly, the First Emperor and others felt a strong collapse of their concepts.

Shouldn't the center of the world be in Daqin? !
Why did so many dynasties pop up all of a sudden!
The six countries have been unified by Great Qin!
Where are there so many dynasties!

There is an ancient Indian country outside the house?

never heard of that!

The First Emperor didn't know how to express his emotions at this moment, anyway, his hands were shaking constantly, and he didn't know if it was too excited or what.

"Mr. Chang Yu, is the ancient Indian dynasty you mentioned powerful?"

"It's not a question of whether he is powerful or not, he is the kind that is rare."

Chang Yu doesn't know how to describe it, so it's definitely right to read less official account push and more history books.

The ancient India section at this moment should be the famous Mauryan Dynasty period.

Ancient India in this period was comparable to a powerful country like Great Qin.

Chang Yu can't tell the specific data, because the book and the official account are basically not very consistent.

However, there is one data that is consistent.

"The Mauryas had thirty thousand cavalry."

Hearing the previous sentence, Wang Ben burst out laughing.

That's it?

Only thirty thousand!

How dare you challenge Da Qin? !

"Don't interrupt!"

The First Emperor glared at Wang Ben.

Chang Yu also stared in the past, and then continued.

"60 cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] war elephants, the army is very powerful."

"Even if the Qin Dynasty has millions of elite soldiers, if it encounters the Mauryan Dynasty at its peak, I am afraid it will retreat."

Because there are likely to be battles in places with many high mountains, which would be a disadvantage for Da Qin's formation.

The military combat capability and mobility of the Maurya Dynasty relied on cavalry and war elephants.

Don't underestimate the [-] cavalry, they are distributed on [-] war elephants.

Throwing stones and archery and so on, the division of labor is clear and the combat capability is very strong.

If it is to fight in a place where the elites of the Great Qin are not good at, it is obvious that the Maurya Dynasty will be even better.

Hearing what Chang Yu said, Shi Huangdi and Li Si fell silent.

They don't know about the Maurya Dynasty.

I have heard of people fighting on elephants.

I thought it was a small country that didn't care.

But I didn't expect it to be a superpower!

"Then I don't understand,"

Wang Ben said with a slight frown.

"If there really is such a powerful dynasty, why haven't we encountered it and they haven't attacked?"

Wang Ben's question was on point, and the First Emperor and Li Si were also curious.

If two powerful military powers knew of each other's existence, they would definitely come to provoke instead of standing still.

Because they are all powerful countries, so they must want to know who is stronger, right?

During this period of war, marching and fighting were common things, and we would not refrain from taking action because of the opponent's strength or other reasons.

"You guys are lucky, the Maurya Dynasty doesn't know this place at all."

Even if the Maurya Dynasty knew where Da Qin was, they would not send troops to attack.

Why?

The Maurya Dynasty is in the area of ​​today's Indian plate, which is the South Asian plate.

If they want to go to East Asia where Da Qin is located, there are only three ways to go.

Going north, taking a detour from the Mongolian plain, the nomadic Huns army is not a vegetarian, as if they didn't see it.

In the middle of the Himalayas, there was no ability to jump in that era.

Going south, it was the Baiyue area at that time, and many places were uninhabited and belonged to the undeveloped virgin forest area.

There is methane and poisonous insects and poisonous fog everywhere. If the Maurya Dynasty wants to come over, hundreds of thousands of soldiers may die on the road.

Even during the modern counterattack against Vietnam, many soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died in the humid jungle.
