This first emperor is awesome

Chapter 283 If you can't get it on the negotiating table, Daqin will get it on the battlefield

"Your envoy, our country has always been a good friend of the Great Qin Empire. I don't know why your country suddenly attacked our country?"

Antiochus III didn't care to hide it, and asked directly.

"I have to ask the emperor himself."

"Your Majesty the First Emperor of Qin, I heard that the Great Emperor wants to unite with the Mediterranean coastal city-states to fight against the Great Qin."

"Extremely furious. After all, the Seleucids and the Qin people have a close relationship. My emperor is very pleased."

"But your country wants to do some double-faced things, and the Great Qin Empire has no choice but to do it."

Liu Jipi smiled, his voice was cold and piercing.

"Your envoy misunderstood, it must be a misunderstanding."

"How could Seleucus be an enemy of your country?"

"The Great Qin Empire will always be the strongest friend of the Qin Empire, and will always stand by the Qin Empire."

"I would also like your envoy to convey it to His Majesty the First Emperor of your country. There must be some misunderstanding..."

Antiochus III quickly explained, looking extremely wronged.

"Misunderstand?"

"Emperor Antiochus sent envoys to Rome, Macedonia, and Ptolemy, did he think that we Qin people don't know anything?"

"To put it bluntly, what if you all join forces?"

"It's just a mob, not worth mentioning."

"The emperor doesn't need to deny it in a hurry, it doesn't matter whether he admits it or not."

"It was you Seleucids who were unrighteous first, and my emperor was very angry."

"Over the years, how many advanced technologies and exquisite artifacts have we Qin people brought to Seleucus?"

"Anyone who is an enemy of the Great Qin will destroy the country. Seleucus is not the first, and will never be the last."

Liu Ji's face was full of domineering, as if he didn't take Emperor Antioch in his eyes at all.

Antiochus III's face was ashen, but he did not utter a word, and dared not speak out.

Because he knew that what Liu Ji said was not an exaggeration. Over the years, the fleet of the Qin people galloped across the Mediterranean Sea, and merchant ships spread all over every port in the western world.

At first, seeing the merchant ships of the Qin Dynasty earning a lot of money, it was not that no one was jealous.

But those city-states that were motivated by money were all beaten to the ground by the powerful fleet of the Qin people.

I was also one of them, and after that battle, I never dared to catch the attention of the Qin people's caravan.

Because I can't afford to offend the warships of the Qin people, the artillery fire of the Qin people is too powerful.

Let his army suffer a lot, no matter how powerful the heavy armor is, it is vulnerable to the strong ships and cannons of the Qin people.

"Your envoy, how can we appease the anger of His Majesty the First Emperor of your country?"

Antiochus III knew the greed of the Qin people, and it seemed that the Qin people would not let it go without any blood.

"One, cede the eastern province of Seleucid and sign a covenant to stop being an enemy of Great Qin."

"Second, open the Seleucid inland city-states to commerce and trade, and not restrict the trade of Qin caravans."

"Three, provide Daqin with [-] strong slaves every year, and send envoys to Daqin to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Fourth, your country wants to revoke the ban on Happy Pieces [Poppy], and you must not prevent Qin merchants from doing business normally."

"Fifth, in order to show the sincerity of your country's peaceful coexistence, your crown prince needs to go to Xianyang as a pledge."

"Sixth, the Great Qin Empire wants to lease the southern seaport city Teka City from your country for a period of 100 years."

"seven……"

"Eight……"

"Nine……"

Liu Jiluo listed a long list of conditions, and finally added: "This is the condition for Daqin's armistice."

The smile on Antiochus III's face froze, and the more he heard it, the darker his face became, until finally, he was angry and powerless.

Qin people's conditions are too harsh, it is almost impossible to agree.

If he agreed to everything, what face would he have to face the Chinese people?

These are all unequal treaties, humiliating the country, and deceiving people too much.

"What if I don't agree?"

Antiochus III tried his best to control his angry voice, and looked at Liu Jidao.

"Then I'm afraid it's up to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't agree to these conditions, we, Daqin, can only continue to send more troops and fight until the emperor agrees."

"My emperor said that 5 people are not enough, then 50, 500 million, until the emperor nods."

"However, the foreign minister thinks that if that time really comes, the emperor may not have room to maneuver."

"My Majesty the emperor has the virtue of loving life in the upper body, and the suffering of thousands of people in the lower body. He is unwilling to start a war lightly. I hope the emperor will think about it."

"Don't make mistakes..."

Not to be outdone, Liu Ji looked at Antioch III, and said every word without concealing the threat.

Antiochus III clenched his fists tightly, and his palms were bleeding from his nails. In the end, he still let out a long sigh in his heart.

Weapons are not as good as people, national power is not as good as people, and it is not my own fault.

If you can't fight again, what else can you do?

Right now, I only hope to exchange for peace at the smallest price, hoping to wait for a turnaround.

"Your envoy, Seleucus can accept all these conditions, but the first and fourth items may not be acceptable."

"The eastern province is the granary of Seleucid. If it is ceded to your country, I really can't explain it to the Seleucid subjects."

"Happy films have destroyed the homes of many subjects in the city-states along the Seleucid coast. This kind of monster shouldn't exist in the world at all. If I lift the ban, it won't take long for this thing to make the Seleucids self-destruct."

"Normal commerce and trade can be developed, but happy movies must not be unimpeded in the Seleucid Dynasty."

"So, other conditions are acceptable to the Seleucids, but please change these two in your country."

Antiochus III frowned and said resolutely.

At first, when the Qin people came to do business, the Seleucids still welcomed it very much, but later, this kind of thing called happy film attracted the attention of the Seleucid Dynasty.

Because this thing is so miraculous, after people smoke it, they can get great satisfaction, make people feel refreshed and happy, and can forget all the troubles in the world.

At first, people in the coastal city-states regarded this thing as a fetish, and it became popular in the entire coastal city-states for a while.

But soon the disadvantages of this thing were revealed, not only was it extremely expensive, but it could even kill people.

Many people who smoked happy movies all the year round not only ruined their family fortunes, but were even skinny, and eventually died of this thing.

Soon Antioch knew that this thing must not be allowed to spread throughout the Seleucid Dynasty, so he issued the strictest ban in history.

Fortunately, the happy film was controlled in the coastal city-states in time, and did not circulate in the inland city-states of the Seleucid Dynasty.

It's just that in the face of huge benefits, many people can't stand the temptation, and smuggling has been banned repeatedly.

For this reason, Antioch was furious, and killed some nobles who didn't know how to restrain themselves.

Although there is circulation in inland city-states today, under the strong and high-handed ban, it is only a small-scale inflow, which does not hurt the overall situation.

But now the people of Qin openly want to lift the ban, which is really too much.

"None of the conditions can be changed. If you can't get it on the negotiating table, then Daqin will get it on the battlefield!"

Liu Ji was very tough and refused to back down even half a step.

Antiochus III was so angry that he really wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but he knew he couldn't be so naive, so he adjusted his mentality again and said, "You can take a step back from the first point, and it's not unacceptable to cede it to your country. But the fourth point It is absolutely impossible, otherwise, even if the Seleucids fight to the last breath, they will never bow their heads when their country is ruined and their families are destroyed."

The eastern province has already been occupied by the Qin people, and it is tantamount to nonsense to want to take it with empty words.

Antiochus III never thought that the Qin people would return the eastern provinces, what the Qin people wanted was just a reputation.

Is it important to cut or not?

The eastern province has actually belonged to the Qin people. Do you dare to send troops to take it back?

Antiochus III felt endless sadness in his heart.

How powerful and glorious was the former Alexander Empire?

It's just a pity that the children and grandchildren are unfilial. The supremely glorious empire that once spanned the three continents is so downcast.

Being bullied by the hateful Qin people, I can't hold my head up!

"Forget it, then I will make the decision without authorization. The ban may not be lifted, but your country must increase the purchase of happy movies."

"Actually, the emperor doesn't need to be so aggressive. The Seleucids don't need it. The emperor can't sell it to the Disis, the Germans, the Gauls, the Celts, or even the Manu..."

Liu Ji's voice was like a devil's call, full of temptation, he urged Antiochus III.

Antiochus III's eyes lit up immediately, as if the door to a new world had been opened, and he immediately laughed and said, "It's a happy cooperation."

In line with the principle of preferring to die as a fellow Taoist than to die as a poor Taoist, Antiochus III has awakened...

Chapter 284 The Last Fortress of the Maurya Dynasty

The Qin army captured most of the land of the Mauryan Dynasty one after another, and then broke through the province of Indra Prosta, and approached the city of Boronai.

The Maurya Dynasty also deployed more than 300 million troops in Bolunai, Jiashi, Ayodhya, and Huashi City, and the whole country resisted the Qin army.King Sari Shuka also took command in person and visited the fortress to boost morale.

The Qin army also fell into a bitter battle because of this. Whether it was Balonai, Jiashi, Ayodhya, or Huashi City, they all relied on natural dangers and supplemented by man-made fortresses to become an indestructible moat.

The Qin army used a lot of artillery, high explosives, and all means, and paid a heavy price, but was still unable to break through the last line of defense of the Maurya Dynasty.

Whenever the Qin people blew up a section of the wall, the tenacious Mauryan army would block it with flesh and blood, and recast the fortress as quickly as possible.

In the royal palace of Huashi City in the Maurya Dynasty, King Sarishuka looked solemnly at the many generals below.

"I have fought against the Qin people many times, and I have been defeated repeatedly. Even if the number of people has an absolute advantage, with the help of the natural fortress, I still pay a heavy price. Are you all trash?"

King Sarishuka had a dark face, pointing at the generals below and roaring.

Everyone did not dare to look directly at Wang's angry eyes, and lowered their heads, filled with shame and indignation.

"General Cosmo?"

After a while, King Sarishuka called out indifferently.

A general stood up immediately and saluted King Sarishuka: "Great King Sarishuka, Cosmo is willing to serve you."

"In the western fortress, your 20 troops successfully repelled the [-] siege army of the Qin people, seven times as powerful as the enemy. With the help of the fortress's natural danger, how did you achieve more than half of the casualties, but only let the Qin people pay less than [-] people? The price? Brahma, are you a pig?"

King Sarishuka didn't know whether it was anger or joy, he looked at General Cosmo with a questioning face and asked.

"The great King Sarishuka! It's not that Kesmo is incompetent, it's because the Qin people are too strong, especially the hundreds of cannons, which caused great casualties to our army. If it wasn't for defending the collapsed wall with blood, I'm afraid Cisse is about to be breached."

Kesmo didn't blush, and made an excuse without a heartbeat, forcibly blaming the reason for his defeat on the too powerful artillery of the Qin people.

"Waste, can the artillery of the Qin people kill more than half of your 20 troops? Hand-to-hand combat, do they have three heads and six arms? Or are they all invulnerable?"

King Sarishuka was furious and roared.

Cosmo felt his heart trembling, he could only lower his head and dare not speak if he dared to contradict King Sarishuka.

"The 20 troops under your command are the most elite troops of the Maurya Dynasty, not the slave army that would be defeated at the first touch. The 20 elite troops stood firm on the high walls of the fortress, but they were beaten by 3 Qin people, killing more than half of them. How dare they come back alive ?”

King Sarishuka stared at Cosmo with dangerous eyes, and asked.

"The great King Sari Shoga..."

Cosmo's back was covered with cold sweat, and he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Drag it out and chop it up, so as to correct the morale of the army."

King Sarishuka yelled directly, without giving Cosmo a chance to defend himself.
