Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 264
"Chen Ping, three years ago you took the risk and went deep into the hinterland of the Huns to find out information about the Huns. Do you know a thing or two about the Maurya Dynasty?"

Qin Wangzheng sat in the main hall with a tense expression, without any trace of joy, and said solemnly.

Chen Ping swallowed his saliva, prostrated himself on the ground, and said slowly: "I got some news about the Maurya Dynasty from the Xiongnu."

"It is said that this is a mysterious country outside the Western Regions. The reason for this name is that their family got its name from raising peacocks."

"However, to learn more, you need to consult the countries in the Western Regions, or ask the envoys of the Ancient Qiang Kingdom."

Qin Wangzheng waved his hand slightly, and consulted the envoys of the Western Qiang Dynasty. Perhaps he could only get one result, that is, the Maurya Dynasty was once glorious, but then declined.

After all, Xiqiang intends to form an alliance with Daqin to fight against the Maurya Dynasty. If the Maurya Dynasty is very powerful, there is no need for the Qin army to fight against the strong and help the weak Xiqiang.

This burden was naturally entrusted to Chen Ping's shoulders. Chen Ping could no longer go out as a spy to spy on the news like last time, but could only search for information in the palace.

However, there are not many records about the Maurya Dynasty in Daqin, and many of them are gossips learned through the Huns of the Western Qiang Kingdom.

Even the classics are not well understood. After all, Xiqiang is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a barrier. If Xiaozhinu hadn't informed in advance, I am afraid that there is no Maurya Dynasty.

"The Peacock Dynasty!" Qin Wangzheng began to pay attention to this mysterious country, eager to get information, and the alliance with Xiqiang still needs to be buffered, no one wants to fight against the strong!

The next day, Qin Wangzheng issued a royal decree, ordering the new Xiongnu Chanyu Radar to enter Beijing.

One month ago, he was still the Right Wise King of the Huns, but he made a great contribution in the battle against the Huns. In addition, the Zuo Wise King Xu Li was executed, and Da Dao was elected by the Huns as Shan Yu.

The Qin army returned the original grassland to the Yue clan according to the covenant, and let them manage it instead, while the rest of the land was divided into four counties, Longting, Beijing, Touman, and Helan, and implemented a county system.

As the head of Shanshi's four counties, Radar managed thousands of miles of land in the four counties, and the rest of the counties and counties were managed by Daqin officials.

After receiving the order, Radar ordered the left and right cronies to stay behind, and followed a hundred guards alone to march towards Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Emperor.

Before leaving, the Xiongnu soldiers still stopped him, not to repeat Xuli's mistakes, but Dadar's face was tense, revealing a dignified expression, and said calmly: "What? Do you still want to manage the Xiongnu Shanyu when he enters the capital of Emperor Qin? "

dare not.

Of course I dare not.

When the left and right cronies saw the gloomy face of Radar, they thought it was a joke, but they didn't expect it to be serious, and even drew out the knife, and the two could only shake their heads helplessly.

Radar put away the long knife, and slowly said: "If your majesty kills me, why wait until now, you will kill me after you kill Xuli. If you don't kill me, you trust us, how can we live up to your majesty's trust."

Everyone nodded slightly, under the moonlight, two cronies escorted Radar away.

The moment he stepped into Xianyang, Radar felt obviously out of place. The tiger fur and mink he wore was incomparable to Daqin's green radish silk and satin, and he spoke fluent Xiongnu dialect, which made everyone treat him coldly.

However, Radar didn't care. It would take time for the people of Qin to accept him, and it was still relatively early.

Stepping into the bazaar, it was extremely lively, full of new gadgets that the Huns had never seen before, Rado’s face was calm, although he had many urges to play in his heart, he finally restrained himself and stepped into Zhangtai Palace.

After being received by Dian Ke, Da Dao crossed the steps with heavy steps and walked into the solemn Zhangtai Palace.

When the door of the palace was slowly opened, Dadar's eyes lit up, staring at the magnificent palace, compared with his own royal court, it was nothing short of a big deal.

But after a moment of contemplation, the radar still turned to the Central Plains. There was an old man reviewing the memorial on the white jade stone steps, and it was Qin Wangzheng.

Faced with this strong sense of oppression, Radar felt a huge boulder pressing on his chest, making him uncomfortable.

In the past, he was the one who gave others a sense of oppression, but today he was shocked by Qin Wangzheng. Just one look can make Radar swallow his saliva.

After slowly stepping into the main hall, Radar bent down and knelt down on the ground, and said indifferently: "The minister Xiongnu Shanyu pays homage to the Emperor of Qin!"

Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. This feeling made people feel inexplicably comfortable. Shan Yu, who was once an enemy of Daqin, knelt down on his own initiative and surrendered to Daqin. This is a great joy!
Qin Wangzheng waved his hand slightly, signaling Radar to get up and sit down, and then began to ask Radar some questions.

While chatting, we cut into the topic and tested Radar's understanding of the Maurya Dynasty.

Radar speaks.

In 323 BC, after Alexander's death, there was rebellion and chaos, and an Indian adventurer named Chandragupta Maurya took the opportunity to establish a dynasty.

Chandragupta used the tactics of the Greeks to great advantage, and he led the campaign to expel Macedonian officials from India.

Then, he led his army to attack the most powerful kingdom of Magadha in Hindustan at that time.

He defeated and killed King Magadha, proclaimed himself king, and set his capital in Huashi City.

The city is majestic and magnificent, standing on the south bank of the Ganges River, and is eight miles long.When Seleucus tried to recover lost lands in India, Chandragupta dealt him a head-on blow and forced him to give up Baluchistan and parts of Afghanistan.

Chandragupta expanded his regime to cover most of northern India, establishing the first empire in Indian history.

During the reign of the tyrant Ashoka, the Mauryan Dynasty reached its peak, and its territory stretched from what is now western Afghanistan to eastern Bengal, almost controlling the entire Indian subcontinent.

Ashoka can be called the Indian version of Qin Shihuang, the greatest ruler in Indian history.

It's a pity that when King Ashoka died, Qin Wangzheng was just taking the first step to sweep the six countries and destroy South Korea.

The two emperors just passed each other. If the historical trend is followed, it is not certain who will win the battle between the two armies.

After the death of King Ashoka, Dasarasa's uncle, the crown prince Junaro, had already lost his sight, so the grandson Dasarasa became the king.

Eight years later, Dasarasa died, and Junara's son, Sambaladi, ascended to the throne in a strong way.

Sambalati believed in Jainism and established tens of thousands of Jainist temples across the country.

There are rumors in China that the original king and grandson Dasarasa was killed by Sambaladi, and the gravedigger behind him was the Brahmin who ranked first among the four castes.

Dasarasha believed in the Buddha like his grandfather Ashoka Asoka, and Jainism, another sect in Magadha, was naturally attacked by the kingdom.

After paying a great price, the Jain leader still failed to get the support of Dasarasha.

Eight years later, Dasarasha died suddenly in the palace, and Sarishuka Sanpharati soon ascended the throne.

Nine years later, Sanpharati died suddenly one day, and Sari Shuka began his rule.

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly, but what Radar said next stimulated Qin Wangzheng's nerves.

"Sari Shuka's superior position may have hidden secrets."
