This first emperor is awesome

Damn Carthaginians...
It is abhorrent to take refuge in the Qin people.
Don't they know that this is playing with fire and setting themselves on fire, luring wolves into the house?
But what can the power of the Roman Empire do?
I'm sure I can't beat the Qin people...
Flamininus smiled wryly in his heart, and sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers will persuade the Senate to stop the Roman army from fighting Carthage."
Flamininus stated directly.
"Very good. Great Qin is a country of etiquette. If you can convince people with reasoning, everyone will be happy."
"But this is not enough. The Romans must return all the territory of Carthage, and also return the seaport of the North African Ptolemaic dynasty."
Ying Zheng remained calm, his eyes flickering coldly.
Flamininus felt dizzy for a while, His Majesty the Great Qin Shi Huangdi, is really too domineering!
Whether it is Carthage or Ptolemy's land, it was all obtained by the Romans through bloody battles?
Just a few words in such a light and fluffy manner, will the Romans struggle for a hundred years to come to naught?
Flamininus was very annoyed, and really wanted to fight the Qin people...
But he knew very well that he couldn't do this. Almost all the ports and islands in the Mediterranean were occupied by the Qin people.
Those Greek city-states almost all threw themselves into the arms of the Qin people. It wasn't that they were carrying straw bags, but that the Qin people were too useless.
If you don't prove the war with you at all, if the artillery fire continues, it will basically be a one-sided massacre.
Even the powerful Romans fled brilliantly after being beaten by the Qin people, terrified all day long.
Right now, the Qin people have no intention of aggressively invading the inland, but are just showing off their might in the coastal city-states.
Which city-state is disobedient, which kingdom wants to provoke, will undoubtedly be regarded as a provocation by the Qin people, and they will inevitably be beaten severely.
It's not that I don't want to be tough, I really can't be tough!
I heard that several Greek city-states were very strong, and then the city-states were destroyed, and all gold, silver, jewelry, cultural relics and antiques were robbed by the Qin people.
The tens of thousands of people in several city-states were all captured by the Qin people, demoted to slavery, transported back to China, built roads and bridges, and went to mine gold.
Facing the extremely domineering Qin people, who behaved almost like hooligans, they dare not speak out!
"Ok?"
"The Romans are not satisfied?"
"Do you think I've dealt with it unfairly?"
Ying Zheng looked at the silent Flamininus and said in a bad tone.
"Do not……"
"Your Majesty the Great First Emperor, you have dealt with it very fairly. The Romans are willing to withdraw their troops from Carthage and Ptolemy in accordance with His Majesty the First Emperor's decree."
Flamininus knew that he couldn't break his face with the Qin people right now, otherwise it would be a disaster for Rome.
"Thanks, His Majesty the First Emperor upholds justice, and all the subjects of Carthage are grateful to His Majesty the First Emperor."
Hannibal quickly thanked him. Over the years, it has become more and more difficult to fight against Rome. There have been several Punic Wars, although Carthage and Rome have won and lost each other.
But there is no doubt that the Romans have a stronger background, and sooner or later Carthage will be unable to sustain it and be completely annexed by the Romans.
Fortunately, just when Carthage was about to lose its hold, the Qin people came...
Although in order to obtain the support of the Qin people, Carthage paid a high price.
But at least Guozuo saved it, didn't he?
Shit Roman glory, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, but still behaves like a grandson in front of Qin people?
"Thank you, His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin, and the subjects of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and are also grateful to His Majesty the First Emperor."
The envoys of the Ptolemaic Dynasty were also overjoyed. It seems that His Majesty the King's strategy of building a good relationship with the Qin people is very wise!
At a small price, the lost seaport and territory were recovered from the Romans. This deal is simply too good-for-nothing.
"His Majesty the First Emperor, the war between your country and our country has lasted for eight years. I don't know if your country can withdraw its troops. The Maurya Dynasty is willing to pay any price."
The Maurya Dynasty can't bear it anymore, if it drags on, the dynasty will really collapse.
Lost more than half of the land in one year, although the contraction relied on the power of natural dangers, the plan to resist the Qin people was very successful.
In front of the four fortresses, the people of Qin were indeed held back tightly, unable to advance any further.
But this war far exceeded the expectations of the Maurya Dynasty, and it lasted for seven years!
In the past few years, with the help of a huge hoard of materials, it was still able to support it, but in the past two years, the materials have been exhausted, and the food produced by only a small amount of land is simply a drop in the bucket.
Countless people starve to death every day, and now even the soldiers who are going forward are starting to run out of food and supplies.
Holding tattered weapons and living a miserable life, the morale of the dynasty soldiers has reached an unprecedented low.
If it wasn't for the same hatred and the great King Sarishuka who gave away all the royal family, I am afraid that the four fortresses would have been destroyed by themselves.
As for the war elephants and horses, they have already been killed to satisfy their hunger, and everyone is almost starving to death, so how can they manage so much.
Chapter 288 The City Has Been Destroyed
"Your country can't survive?"
Ying Zheng frowned, and said indifferently.
"Your Majesty misunderstood. The Maurya Dynasty has millions of heroic soldiers and countless food and weapons. There will be no problem at all in ten years."
The envoys of the Maurya Dynasty were not fools, even though they were suffering in their hearts, they did not speak weakly at all.
"is it?"
"Prime Minister, how long can the empire support a million-strong army going forward?"
Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to the envoy of the Peacock Dynasty, but asked Xiao He.
"Your Majesty, an army of one million is not a heavy burden on the empire."
"In a few months, the train from Western State to Bactera County will run through, and the cost of transporting all the supplies from the empire will be greatly reduced."
"The Shenlonghai iron-clad transport ship will also be launched soon. At that time, it will cross Mengwan from the port of Nanzhou and Rakhine County, and go straight to Tammo Lidi. It will only take a few days."
"Actually, with the powerful national power of the empire, the Maurya Empire's army of one million will not harm the overall situation of the empire at all. Even if it takes ten or a hundred years, the Great Qin Empire can still fight."
Xiao He bowed his hands to Ying Zheng, his tone did not fluctuate at all, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
All the envoys from various countries were startled, whispering to each other, pointing and pointing at the envoys of the Maurya Dynasty.
The hearts of the envoys of the Maurya Dynasty also fell to the bottom of the valley, heavy.
Although I don't know if the Prime Minister of the Qin people is talking nonsense, but he has no idea in his heart!
After he went to Qin as an envoy, he realized that he was a frog in a well. The warships and trains of the Qin people were so convenient.
When he came out of Huashi City, he took the Qin people's armored warship through Mengwan, entered Nanzhou, took the Qin people's magical train, and came directly to Xianyang.
"Then keep fighting! If you fight for another ten years, your country can no longer survive. Let's talk about it after the city is destroyed!"
"Your envoy can do what he wants!"
Yingzheng's tone was domineering, and he didn't give the envoys of the Maurya Dynasty any room to change. He waved his hand as if chasing flies away.
"His Majesty……"
"Respected His Majesty the First Emperor, the foreign ministers have long heard that His Majesty the First Emperor cares about the common people in the world, and takes benefiting the well-being of all people in the world as his own business."
"At present, the two countries have fought for more than eight years, with hundreds of casualties and tens of millions of displaced persons."
"Does Your Majesty really have the heart to continue to burn life?"
"Although the Peacock Dynasty lost to the Great Qin Empire, even if the country is destroyed, the Great Qin Empire will definitely pay a heavy price."
"It's just that the great King Sari Shuka couldn't bear to see the people die and bloodshed his soldiers, so he sent his foreign ministers to the Great Qin Empire, hoping that the two countries can turn their wars into jades, rebuild their alliance, and coexist peacefully."
"King Sari Shuka is willing to make a blood alliance with His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin, and jointly benefit the people of the two countries."
The envoys of the Maurya Dynasty were articulate and uttered a lot of high-sounding words.
"very good."
Ying Zheng smiled.
"His Majesty agrees?"
The envoys of the Maurya Dynasty felt that the happiness came too suddenly, and they were very happy.
"Yes, why not?"
"Stop fighting wars, cultivate life and nourish the people, it is an act of obedience to the destiny."
"I am not a tyrannical king, but because King Sarishuka of your country perverted and poisoned the people of your country, I can't bear it, but it is not good to meddle in your domestic affairs."
"But King Sarishuka of your country is arrogant and rebellious, provoking the mighty Qin Dynasty, it is really beyond his capabilities."
"If you don't impose military weapons, small punishments and big commandments, wouldn't anyone be able to provoke Daqin from all over the world?"
"Anyone who provokes the Great Qin Empire must pay a painful price."
"It's not difficult to stop the war. As long as the king of your country, Sari Shuka, knows his mistakes and can correct them, he will lead the people to lay down their weapons and walk out of the fortress to surrender. I will not blame the past."
"Otherwise, the Maurya Dynasty will become history, the city will be destroyed and people will die, and the country will change hands."
Ying Zheng's face was indifferent, and he said unceremoniously.
"..."
"Too deceiving."
"His Majesty the First Emperor really wants to break the net with the Maurya Dynasty?"
The envoy of the Peacock Dynasty had an extremely ugly expression on his face. The ruler of the Qin people did not let the Maurya Dynasty step down at all!
This is not a condition to stop fighting, this is clearly to destroy the country and subjugate the country, and the evil intentions will not die.
"The net of fish death will not be broken. The Maurya Dynasty is dead, and the Great Qin Empire is still rising like the sun."
"You are not worthy, but you are just a bunch of bastards, stealing other people's ancestral land and enslaving other people's people."
"Surrender or die..."
Ying Zheng said coldly, the Great Qin Empire invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the Maurya Dynasty, how could it be possible to let go so easily?
If you withdraw troops easily, how will you explain to the whole country and subjects?
childish……
Although the four fortresses are extremely strong, they are not impenetrable. There is no barrier in this world that can never be broken.
It's just whether it's worth the huge price. Since it can be consumed to death, why sacrifice the lives of a large number of soldiers?
The Great Qin Empire is not short of food and supplies now, Xiao He is right, the national strength of Great Qin is enough to consume any country.
The consumption of millions of soldiers is not cheap, but the alliance tax collected by Daqin from all over the world every year is enough to offset it, and it will not make the Daqin treasury pay any price at all.
The Maurya envoy's face was pale, and he stumbled, almost staggering and falling to the ground.
At this moment, he knew that the Maurya Dynasty was over...
He was devastated and left, with endless sadness and decadence, ready to return to his hometown and be buried with his country!
Looking at His Highness's envoys from all over the world, Ying Zheng became thoughtful.
This is the way it is in this world, the law of the jungle is the law of survival!
Now it is because Great Qin is strong and prosperous, if Huaxia declines, these people will never mind pounced on it and took a bite.
So what I have to do is to directly wipe out these hidden dangers and prevent them from happening.
These people, people are fish and meat and I am knives, and they can cut whichever piece they want.
Do they dare to say no to Daqin?
do not give?If the reason does not make sense, then speak with your fist. The essence of all problems in this world is that whoever has the biggest fist is the truth.
