Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 266
An aristocratic young man from Magadha named Chandragupta led an uprising to defeat the Macedonians, and later overthrew the Magadha regime and established the Mauryan Dynasty.

Ashoka is the third dynasty.Judging from their resume, the Maurya Dynasty is an "upstart".

The Great Qin Empire was different.As a small country in the western border, Qin State had more than 100 players in the Spring and Autumn Period, fought to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and finally became the only big player. Qin Shihuang trampled the land of China under his feet.

Qin State has hundreds of years of military genetic inheritance, and two of the four famous generals in the Warring States Period came from Qin State.

In terms of war, the background of the Great Qin Empire is not comparable to that of the Peacock Dynasty.

The Maurya Dynasty had nearly one million troops, 30 cavalry, 60 infantry, and well-equipped bows and arrows. In addition, they had nearly [-] war elephants.

The Qin Kingdom stood out from among a hundred nations and conquered six nations. The fighting power of the Great Qin Empire can be imagined.Qin also had nearly one million troops, well-equipped for combat, and the crossbowmen and cavalry were the most arrogant in the world.Anyone in the world who refuses to accept Qin will be wiped out along the Daqin Straight Road!
In wars, victory or defeat is not determined by the size of the territory, otherwise Chu State would have crushed the Central Plains long ago.Qin Jun is not only powerful, but even more terrifying is his calm materialism.

Qin Guo first used a divorce plan to get rid of Lian Po, and the main general was immediately replaced by Bai Qi, the god of war.Bai Qi first lured Zhao Kuo into the trap and then killed 40 Zhao troops, severely wounding Zhao's vitality.Wang Jian and Li Mu fought many against many, but Qin State once again used the strategy of alienation against Zhao State.Li Mu died.Zhao Guo died.

War is the most powerful gene of the Great Qin Empire.The editor is optimistic about Qin Shihuang's Great Qin Empire overthrowing Ashoka's Peacock Dynasty!

"With proper strength, the comprehensive national strength of a country depends on its economic and military power. The Great Qin is here to crush the Maurya Dynasty. It seems that the Maurya Dynasty is nothing more than a strong foreign power!"

There was a smile on Qin Wangzheng's face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It was rare to get a smile from his ferocious face.

It seems that although the Maurya Dynasty is a behemoth, its overall strength is far inferior to that of the Xiongnu. It is just that the surrounding countries are afraid of him, so they confront the Maurya Dynasty.

However, Qin State destroyed the six kingdoms, ventilated Liuhe, and the nine states were connected together. Naturally, it has the confidence to compete with the Maurya Dynasty, but as for how to decide whether it is an enemy or a friend, it has to be re-evaluated.

Chen Ping continued to explain from the cultural aspect.

Culture is the root of a nation's development, and the system determines the future height of a nation.Internally, it is civilization, and externally, it is influence.

Ashoka's life is divided into two stages: the first stage is the devil, killing the Quartet; the second stage is the Buddha, popularizing Buddhism.

Buddhism has been suppressed by Hinduism for more than 300 years, hiding in a corner and trembling, King Ashoka turned the tide and built more than 8 pagodas, pushing Buddhist culture to its peak and spreading it to all parts of Asia.

Chinese Buddhism and lion carvings were introduced from India during the Han Dynasty.

However, Ashoka was too tyrannical in the early days, and the disadvantage of being too autocratic was a dead end. Belief in Buddhism could not save the Maurya Dynasty.

The Qin Dynasty witnessed the cultural prosperity of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming in China.Since Qin Xiaogong, Daqin has been adhering to the legalist rule of the country.Qin Shihuang also allowed Confucianism, Taoism and other cultures to enter and leave the court.Qin Shihuang burned books, which were the books of the sages and sages of the Zhou Dynasty, and practical books such as agricultural classics, forestry and animal husbandry, medicine, and technology were all preserved.

The foundation of the Maurya Dynasty was Buddhist culture.

The Great Qin Empire inherited Legalist culture and allowed cultural diversity to exist.

Legalist theory later became the reference for state governance theory all over the world.

Although each culture has its own merits, there is no doubt that the Great Qin won this game.

Unfortunately, judging from the physical system, the Maurya Dynasty was a slave system, while the Great Qin Empire was a feudal system.

In terms of the fundamental system, the Maurya Dynasty lost everything.

The Maurya Dynasty was destroyed after Ashoka, and the backward system was the main reason.

Political, economic, military, judicial, etc., are all in the hands of Ashoka, and the tail cannot be lost.

Under this system, there were many contradictions within the dynasty.This is another reason for the fall of the dynasty.

Daqin's centralization is not like that of Ashoka.The Qin Dynasty system was the template of feudal society for more than 2000 years.

What's more, the Great Qin Empire is the true unity of the Chinese nation, with politics, economy, military, culture, and ideology all unified.

The Maurya Dynasty only managed to seem unified.

Until now, Indian history has never achieved national unity!
Today, more than 100 ethnic groups in India each have a complete and independent culture, and even the police uniforms and systems of each state have their own ideas.

This thing is very deadly!
National unity means the unity of culture and system.

Various policies are implemented efficiently across the country, individual regions adapt to local conditions, and the whole society develops in the same direction.

This is the guarantee for the stable and rapid development of a society.

Ten southerners and two northerners at the same table will have a good meal.

Three buddies from more than 100 nationalities sat at one table to eat.How to make this dish?
Lao Xian'er and Huang Daxian are not easy to use.

Therefore, the Maurya Dynasty burped soon.Although the Great Qin Empire was also destroyed, it was just changing the soup but not the medicine.

Finally, Chen Ping made a concluding statement.

Ashoka’s Maurya Dynasty and Qin Shihuang’s Great Qin Empire were undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the world at that time, but there were always highs and lows. The territory and population can only be said to be slightly superior to the Maurya Dynasty, and there is no level difference in the agricultural economy.

There is not much difference between millions of soldiers and equipment, but the Qin army went from killing hundreds of families in the Spring and Autumn Period, to the Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period, and finally swept the world. How can the fighting genes of hundreds of years be compared to the upstart Peacock Dynasty?
Backward culture and system, and no real national unity, these two are decisive factors, the Maurya Dynasty and the Great Qin Empire are not at the same level at all.

The Maurya Dynasty perished on these two points. The Qin Dynasty’s demise was not due to institutional issues. The Maurya Dynasty in India was not the opponent of the Great Qin Empire.

What's more, the unity of the Chinese nation is like a rolling wheel; the diversity of the Indian nation is like a pan of loose sand.

The Chinese absorb the wisdom of the sages and believe that man will conquer the sky; Indians believe in traditional religions and believe that the gods rule the world.

Today, compared with the Maurya Dynasty, Buddhism has been replaced by Hinduism.Religion and caste are bound together to kidnap Indian society.

If the Indian system is not broken, it cannot be established, and if it is broken, the ethnic groups will be independent. They are barely glued together by relying on Hinduism.Culture and institutions are decisive.

Chen Ping showed a ferocious expression on his face, and slowly said: "There is one more thing that cannot be ignored! Indian literature and history are often mixed with deification, and so is the Maurya Dynasty. The Great Qin Empire is playing hard power."

This completely dispelled Qin Wangzheng's worries.

And what follows is naturally the history of the decline of the Maurya Dynasty.

The power of the king is so dominant that everyone yearns for it. This also makes the royal families have to fight against each other, kill each other, and do whatever they can for the sake of royal power.

Internal friction eventually exhausted all the power of the empire, until the birth of the king Sari Shuka, who was ruthless and good at hiding, killed Sambaladi step by step, and ascended the throne as the emperor.

Although the truth of this matter was concealed, it was still spread to the outside by some people.

Sanbo Luodi was killed by Sari Shuka for the throne of Magadha.

After ascending the throne, Sarishuka secretly carried out a bloody massacre, and all the descendants of Sanbo Luodi and Junara were bloodbathed, because Sarishuka was the descendant of Ashoka's eldest son, Mohenda.

Qin Wangzheng frowned, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes. His eyes were cold and he said: "It seems that our opponent is a ruthless character. There is only one way to deal with this kind of person, and that is to be more ruthless than him!"
