Zhao Chong curled his lips in disdain.

Great Qin Ruishi competed with Zhuxia, and they could count as five or ten.

After leaving the big break, it is simply an invincible existence.

Anyway, in his impression, Daqin went out to attack and plunder in the west, rampant without hindrance, and there was not even a tribe that could be called an opponent.

"I forgot to mention just now that there may be a crop in the Western Regions called cotton."

Chen Qing only remembers the production of cotton in the Western Regions, but he doesn't know which dynasty it was.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you go far enough, you will always find it.

"cotton?"

Ying Zheng was slightly surprised: "How is this flower different?"

Chen Qing explained: "This flower is not that flower, but something like a reed flower."

Ying Zheng and Zhao Chong nodded silently, imagining how fluffy fluffy balls would look like.

"Cotton is white in color, has good warmth retention properties, is sweat-absorbent and breathable, and if it is widely planted, the price is not high."

"It's one of the best raw materials for weaving clothes."

"Since my time travels, to be honest, I have seen countless people in ragged clothes."

"Great Qin has a great reputation, but the people's clothes are in tatters, which really hurts His Majesty's face."

Before Chen Qing could finish his sentence, Ying Zheng's face suddenly collapsed.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be dragged down and buried.

But for the unique traverser of Great Qin, Shi Huang still suppressed his temper.

"The widow will also state in the imperial edict that if cotton is really so useful, it will fully promote it so that everyone in Daqin will have new clothes to wear."

As soon as Chen Qing heard it, he knew that his unyielding stubborn temper had flared up again.

"Your Majesty, collecting seeds is a trivial matter."

"The land in the Western Regions is a good geomantic treasure for growing cotton."

"It would be a pity if it was abandoned."

forgive me.

Although the tribes of the Western Regions didn't recruit me or provoke me, who made you get too close to Daqin?

Later generations always like to say "XX has been the territory of China since ancient times", so it is reasonable for me to add hundreds of thousands of years to this "ancient", right?

"Oh?"

"Really?"

One of Yingzheng's hobbies is to open up territories, and when he heard that cotton can be grown in the Western Regions, he immediately became interested.

"It's true."

"There is a place in the Western Regions called Gaochang. If it is cultivated properly, this land alone can meet the clothing needs of Daqin."

Chen Qing finally remembered the name of this unlucky old man.

Historically, it was the Tang Dynasty that destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom and brought back high-quality Gaochang cotton seeds. Since then, cotton cloth has become popular in Chang'an and has been loved by countless princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

"Gao Chang, the widow has written it down."

Ying Zheng remained calm, and had already made up his mind to occupy this treasured land of geomantic omen.

I used to think that the Western Regions were barren and there was no way to grow food, so I ignored them.

Since it can farm, can it still run away from you?

Chen Qing noticed his state of mind, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He was afraid that Qin Shihuang's attitude would not be firm enough, so he casually mentioned: "The Western Regions are still an important gateway to Europe. During the time of King Xianhuiwen, an outstanding military general named Alexander appeared in a Greek city-state thousands of miles away."

"After unifying the city-states and establishing the Kingdom of Macedonia, Alexander's strength has grown unprecedentedly."

"He led an expeditionary force all the way, marched eastward without stopping, conquered Persia, Egypt, and West India successively, and the territory spanned three continents."

"It is said that Alexander heard that there was a powerful civilization in the east. He sent the grassland tribes to find a way to China."

"The distance between Daqin and its forward troops should not be more than a thousand miles at the nearest time."

Before Chen Qing finished speaking, Ying Zheng became anxious.

"Where is this Macedonian kingdom?"

"How many soldiers does Alexander have?"

"Why doesn't he dare to come to see the widow!"

"The widow personally sends someone to lead him the way!"

Zhao Chong quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty calm down."

Ying Zheng's face turned red, and he stared at Chen Qing intently, wanting to ask for an explanation.

What a shame!

He didn't go to attack the West, but he was almost beaten up!

Even if Chen Qing said that this is a great empire spanning thousands of miles, Ying Zheng is not afraid at all!

The raging fighting spirit was burning.

Ying Zheng wished he could gather his troops and march to the west now.

Look at Daqin and Macedonia, which one is stronger and weaker.

"Alexander's main force is no more than 5 people, plus the servant army, at most 30 to [-]."

Chen Qing replied clearly.

"Only 30 million?"

Ying Zheng almost laughed out of anger.

Two to three million soldiers are not even comparable to Yan and Han, the weakest of the six countries.

How could Alexander He De occupy such a vast territory with a handful of soldiers and horses?

Are the countries he conquered all waste?

In fact, he guessed it right.

At that time, the development of military culture in Persia, Egypt, India and other countries was very backward.

And Huaxia is in the period of the Warring States period when the seven heroes are fighting for hegemony, blood is flowing, and wars are everywhere.

Under such circumstances, all kinds of new equipment and new tactics have emerged in an endless stream, leading the entire world for hundreds of years!

The Macedonian phalanx, which is known as invincible in the West, is naturally invincible when fighting with the indigenous army.

But if it was against the Great Qin Crossbow Formation that shocked the world, the mother who had been shot would not know it.

Even without the use of long-range weapons, the organization speed and fighting will of the Daqin Ruishi are not comparable to the Greek city-state soldiers who came from afar.

"There are many wild places in the west, but the place occupied by Alexander is sparsely populated."

"Weaker ones are even weaker ones, that's why we can drive all the way to the Western Regions."

"Of course..."

Before Chen Qing finished speaking, he was interrupted by the irritable Shi Huangdi.

"Alexander can come, and the widow can go!"

"Chen Qing, do you remember where Macedonia is?"

"Even though it's thousands of miles away, the widow will kill him!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were full of murderous intent, and it seemed that he didn't intend to let it go.

Chen Qing admired in his heart, as expected, the Qin and Han dynasties were in the same line, and the paths of the two were similar.

The Han Dynasty sent envoys to Dawan to seek famous horses, and the envoys were extremely arrogant towards the King of Dawan.

If a big man wants your horse, he thinks highly of you. I hope you don't know how to praise him.

The king of Dayuan couldn't bear the humiliation, and angrily killed the envoy of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and sent [-] troops to conquer thousands of miles, beheading the king of Dawan.

As for the Daqin where Chen Qing lived, the First Emperor was also a person who didn't rub the sand in his eyes.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it.

"Your Majesty, I can't remember the exact location of Macedonia."

"Furthermore, they are thousands of miles away, and it will take at least three or four years to come and go."

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

"Take the Western Regions first, and then attack Macedonia after the road is found out."

Chen Qing tried hard to persuade.

Ying Zheng's expression gradually calmed down.

"You have a heart."

According to historical records, he can only live for five years, and he is afraid that he will not see the army that conquered Macedonia return victorious.

Chen Qing is nothing more than to let him have a thought in his heart, and try his best to survive his fate.

"It's getting late, the widow went back to rest."

Ying Zheng took a few steps outside, and suddenly turned around: "Chen Qing, that brocade handkerchief on your bed is a poetic thing?"

"what?!"

Chen Qing turned pale with shock: "This...that..."

"The widow knows."

Ying Zheng waved his hand generously, turned and left.

"I rely on!"

Chen Qing secretly wiped off his cold sweat, and hurried to put away the brocade handkerchief.

The girl's father caught her flirting with her on the spot!

The First Emperor will not send Zhao Chong to drag me out and bury me early tomorrow morning, right?

Chapter 39 Take Gaochang First, Then Conquer Macedonia

The night is cold and dew heavy.

The first emperor's study room was brightly lit.

A huge map of the Qin Dynasty was hung on the wall, and Ying Zheng moved westward along the Dasan Pass with his thumb and index finger.

"Macedonia should be right here."

After roughly estimating the location of Wanli, he compared this length with the distance from Xianyang to Baiyue.

"If a few people can conquer Baiyue, why can't they conquer Macedonia!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were bright, and he had already begun to think about who should lead the troops, how to supply them along the way, and how many troops and civilians would be needed.

"Your Majesty, it is almost dawn."

"Chen Zhonghou said, please take care of yourself."

Zhao Chong stayed by Emperor Shi Huang's side all the time, and couldn't help reminding him.

"understood."

"What are you doing, mother-in-law?"

Ying Zheng knew that he couldn't fall asleep even if he lay down.

Unless Macedonia is removed, he is always stuck in his throat, and he does not vomit.
