I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.
Chapter 846 To destroy someone, first make them mad.
Such a price naturally appealed to Emperor.
However, I can't agree to the conditions so readily.
Ultimately, the two sides agreed that while the Kingdom of Pergamon would receive the Zephyr chariots, the Seleucid Empire would also equip itself with them!
Furthermore, Seleucus will purchase twice the number of chariots that Pergamon purchased!
This caused Seleucus to bleed heavily again, but Omoses felt it was all worth it.
With more weapons, we'll crush Pergamon just the same way.
Then seize the Pergamon chariots as well.
Perhaps we can first destroy that damned Ptolemy, and then head north to wipe out Rome!
……
The celebration and feast will last for a long time.
This is a carnival for the entire Qin Dynasty.
However, at this moment, the Black Ice Guard exerted its full power, secretly protecting the light of Chang'an.
"Since February, we have captured more than a thousand spies, nearly half of whom are from the Mohist school in the State of Chu. Among the remaining spies, the largest number are from the Xiongnu."
Thanks to the information about Chu Mo's location provided by Xiang Li, the Qin army was able to launch an attack ahead of time, intercepting some key information and personnel related to Chu Mo's rebellion. Through these individuals, they were able to investigate the spies in Guanzhong.
Based on the information, the Black Ice Station secretly monitored the situation.
This is the only way to ensure the celebration goes perfectly.
"Currently, based on intelligence, Chu Mo has suffered a devastating blow, and the remaining core locations of Chu Mo have also come to light."
"The reason Chu Mo mobilized the rebel army to march north this time, attempting to attack Nanjun, is because Nanjun is Chu Mo's base of operations!"
"Currently, the Marquis of Zhennan and the Marquis of Changsha have mobilized troops to suppress these rebels with all their might!"
The emperor nodded: "Execute them all."
The Qin Dynasty has unified the world, and it is not exactly peaceful now. However, at this time, those who dare to gather in large numbers to oppose the Qin are either ruthless thugs or greedy for their former power, intending to make a desperate gamble.
Regardless of their motives, the Qin army could not possibly leave these people behind after this battle.
"check it out."
Zhao Long then took out a neatly arranged scroll. Zhang Cang took it and glanced at it a few times, then his pupils dilated and his breathing became heavy.
He took a deep breath to calm the shock and continued turning the pages.
He knew that the emperor had long harbored the idea of dealing with the remaining nobles in various regions, but these people had deep roots in their localities.
Over the years, the Qin army had been fighting in the south and north, and it also had to rebuild this broken empire. Some of the more readily surrendered nobles in remote areas were eliminated, and the guilty ones were left to exist for the time being.
However, many who opposed the Qin dynasty simply hid their true colors under a veneer of hypocrisy.
Just like this time, when the various nobles of Chu followed the Qin's strategy of developing Changsha, they recruited some of the mountain people into their own service.
Using the remaining farmland, they controlled these people and hid some of the civilians.
That's how the rebellion of 100,000 people finally broke out!
"The Qin Dynasty has always been too benevolent."
From then on, it was clearly stipulated that all land belonged to the Great Qin state, and no individual had the right to buy, sell, or dispose of it privately; all transactions had to be certified by the local government.
Zhang Cang could already imagine that the Qin Dynasty was about to face another huge storm.
"However, there are also many families who have indeed made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, and all their land was purchased at market price."
The emperor did not want to provoke a complete frenzy among all the nobles.
However, we will not allow such a thing to happen again.
Since they own land, they can use various means to hide civilians and raise private armies.
Zhang Cang still felt that achieving this would be extremely difficult.
However, this incident was caused by a nobleman from the State of Chu.
This could redirect the hatred towards the nobles of the Chu state.
The Qin Dynasty made this decision because of these traitors!
For the sake of the empire's stability, there was no other choice.
Moreover, now is indeed the best time.
If we miss this opportunity, we may never be able to complete this great plan.
Because this is the peak of the current fourth emperor's fame!
To build an unprecedented super empire.
A grand celebration was held to mark the 10th anniversary of the restoration of the nation.
Countless famous generals of the Qin Dynasty have just made their public appearances in Chang'an.
The power and prestige of the Qin Empire were at their peak.
Taking advantage of the Chu nobles' affairs, it's still possible to fully implement this plan.
"Don't be afraid of problems. At worst, we'll fight. In recent years, the situation in the empire has become more stable, and a lot of soldiers are eager to make a name for themselves!"
After the emperor finished speaking, Zhang Cang laughed.
This is the Qin Dynasty he knew.
Those who obey prosper, those who oppose perish.
Just do it!
The Prime Minister's office will have a lot of tasks ahead, but Zhang Cang also feels full of energy.
For the Great Qin!
……
At the very last moment before the celebration ended, the price negotiated between the Prime Minister's office and representatives from various countries was finalized.
The Qin army sold all of their heavy armor, including the armored infantry pieces on display.
The knight wore heavy armor, including the armor on his horse and the matching weapons he carried.
A set of heavy Qin armor sold for the astronomical price of 30,000 silver coins.
Five hundred sets were still sold!
Countless other miscellaneous weapons were also sold.
On the night all the contracts were finalized, Zhang Cang excitedly approached the Emperor: "Your Majesty, including the West Wind Chariot, the Great Qin Dynasty has sold more than 40 million Seleucid silver coins this time."
Make a lot of money!
He knows the cost of these weapons himself.
Based on the value of the Qin Dynasty, it would be worth at most three or four million silver coins.
The premium for the Zephyr tank, in particular, was ridiculously high!
This is outright robbery!
The emperor spoke meaningfully: "This is just the beginning; the West is about to descend into chaos."
The major Western powers have maintained a certain degree of peace and tacit understanding for the time being, and there has never been a large-scale war between them.
At most, it would be localized clashes between the Roman Republic and the Kingdom of Macedon, or between the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
This is because they each knew their own strength and that it would be difficult to annihilate the enemy and occupy their territory in one fell swoop.
What if we had the weapons and equipment of the Qin Dynasty?
A person's ambition changes gradually depending on their own strength and capabilities.
Just like Antiochus III, who always refrained from launching a large-scale attack on Ptolemy, and only waged local wars.
If he had the Zephyr, he would not hesitate to lead his army into Ptolemaic territory!
However, a few West Wind chariots are not enough.
If he wanted to conquer a larger territory, he needed to obtain more weapons and equipment from the Qin Dynasty.
Just like the Zephyr, the price of the chariot was actually only the cheapest one.
The real bulk of the expenses were the maintenance and upkeep of the chariots and the West Wind crossbows.
None of the group bought this equipment, and Zhao Long didn't mention it.
However, the Qin Dynasty would make arrangements in advance to send these items to the Anxi Governor's Office.
The Qin army is temporarily unable to sweep across all areas, but it can let them create chaos on their own first.
To destroy something, you must first make it go mad.
"Once we have the money, we will buy all the land and plan a brand new transportation network across the country as soon as possible."
This was the wealthiest time of the Qin Dynasty!
Some people couldn't stand seeing how rich the Qin Dynasty was.
In the northern part of the Qin Dynasty, thousands of miles away in the wilderness, a large tribe was stationed on the frozen banks of the river.
In the depths of winter, this is a world draped in silver.
Inside one of the military tents, there was a great deal of activity.
"Warriors like eagles, do you know that the Qin army had to pass through the four Qin commanderies of Hexi to plunder endless wealth from the west?"
"I heard that the first convoy of transport vehicles stretched for a hundred miles!"
"Our chance has come!"
"Ten years of hardship have not cooled the eagle's blood!"
