"The Huns are ambitious and wicked. When our Great Qin is ready, we will be the first to crush them." Ying Zheng's eyes were sharp. Now he no longer regarded the Huns as a threat. His goal was more long-term, and the Huns were just the first step in his grand goal.
Ying Zheng glanced at the map and stood with his hands behind his back. He was very clear about his current physical condition. He had never been so strong before.
Even without the defensive bracelet on his wrist, he is no longer afraid of any assassination.
Ever since he started practicing the physical training method that Zhao Qingrui came up with, although he wasn't training fast, he could feel that he was becoming stronger little by little.
The Qin army is also practicing physical training methods, and there are various more advanced weapons in the army. He is full of confidence in unifying the world.
Ying Zheng asked about the situation of the people he had sent over specifically. They were Liu Bang, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others. These dangerous elements were all separated and worked separately.
These people are not honest. Even though they are being monitored by so many people, they are still making trouble under their noses and trying to escape.
Meng Tian explained the situation of these people. Although these people were not very honest, they were within the controllable range.
Meng Tian was a little curious. The crimes these people committed were not enough to warrant being sent to the Great Wall for forced labor, but His Majesty seemed to care a lot about them.
However, he didn't ask any more questions that he shouldn't have asked.
-----------------
After staying in Shangjun for some days, the First Emperor's caravan set off again and was finally going back. Zhao Qingrui missed it a little after being away for so long.
Sitting in his father's RV, Zhao Qingrui looked at the memorial in his hand with a frown.
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't solve?" Ying Zheng rubbed Xiaobai's fur. The little guy had been with him for almost a year. Except for being awake when eating every day, he slept all the time.
But this little tiger cub grows fast. Now, in just one year, it is already bigger than an adult dog.
The little tiger cub lay beside him and was relatively docile only in front of them.
As Xiaobai grows up, his fur becomes thicker and feels better to the touch.
"Well, it's in Lingnan. People from other countries came by ship to trade with Daqin, and Zhang Han wrote a letter to the emperor to talk about it." Zhao Qingrui handed the letter to his father and leaned back on the cushion, not knowing how to solve the problem.
"Let me take a look." Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he was quite curious about all the countries except the Qin Dynasty.
After reading the memorial, Ying Zheng frowned.
The people who came to trade could speak the language of Daqin, and it was obvious that this was not their first time to trade in Daqin.
Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo were previously stationed in Lingnan. Now Zhao Tuo has been killed by him, and Ren Xiong is now ill. It is not known whether he knows the situation over there.
Ying Zheng's expression changed rapidly. If it was a trade, it was not impossible.
However, the things they proposed for trade made Ying Zheng want to kill someone.
"Father, do you have any solution?" Zhao Qingrui said calmly. Those people wanted sweet potato and potato seeds, planting methods, and even a large amount of salt.
These things are the foundation for the prosperity of Daqin today, and she would not be willing to trade them away.
"Of course I refused. They also wanted sweet potatoes and potatoes. They really know how to choose." Ying Zheng's face was gloomy.
"How much do you know about this Maurya Dynasty?" Ying Zheng held the memorial in his left hand and kept stroking Xiaobai with his right hand, but his heart was very uneasy.
"In Magadha, a young man named Chandragupta, a member of the Kshatriya nobility, led the local people in rebellion, organized an army, defeated the Macedonian forces in northwestern India, and declared India free. He then led his army to Pataliputra, the capital of Magadha, overthrew the Nanda dynasty, seized power, and established the Maurya Empire."
"In its early years, the Maurya Empire controlled the Indus and Gangetic plains, the Bay of Bengal, the Deccan Plateau, and a vast territory stretching as far as the Arabian Sea. During the reign of Emperor Ashoka, at its peak, the Maurya Empire encompassed everything from the southern foothills of the Himalayas in the north to Mysore in the south, from the western border of Assam in the east to the Hindu Kush Mountains in the west, with the exception of the southern tip of the Indian peninsula."
"Now it is Sārīśvara, the sixth king of the Maurya Empire. Sārīśvara is a Jain and a tyrant."
Zhao Qingrui briefly explained the situation of the Maurya Empire. If she had not been interested in learning about this history, she would have found these things difficult to deal with.
"How strong is the Maurya Dynasty? How does it compare to my Great Qin?" Ying Zheng asked with great interest. After dealing with all the tribes near the Great Qin, he headed towards the Maurya Dynasty.
The globe that Zhao Qingrui gave him also had this thing called the Maurya Dynasty on it.
However, it only has the Maurya Empire and no other content.
"Very powerful. Their elephant soldiers are especially famous. They capture wild elephants, tame them, and then train them in seven items: manipulation, turning, advancing, trampling, killing, and fighting with other elephants." Zhao Qingrui said after thinking for a moment.
The elephant soldiers posed a considerable threat to the Qin Dynasty, but there was also a chance. At this time, the war elephants were easily frightened, causing them to rush around recklessly, harming both friend and foe.
"Elephant soldiers? What are those? Tell me in detail." Ying Zheng became even more interested. This was a type of soldier he had never heard of. He wanted to know more about the Maurya Empire.
"Wild elephants are large, about 10 to 20 feet tall, and weigh... Each elephant is equipped with three archers, who stand in the box on the elephant's back to fight. The elephant driver sits on the elephant's neck, holding a goad to direct the elephant's actions."
I told my dad about the situation of the elephants, as well as the various advantages and disadvantages of elephant soldiers.
"With such a powerful weapon, I wonder if my Qin's elite soldiers can match it." Ying Zheng frowned. Although in his heart the Qin's elite soldiers were the most powerful, after hearing about this elephant soldier, although he had some disadvantages, such a powerful weapon of war made him want to equip the Qin's elite soldiers.
"Father wants elephant soldiers?" Zhao Qingrui glanced at his father with a burning gaze. His father seemed to be interested in anything that could make the army stronger.
"Of course, if we can equip our Qin warriors with them, who can rival our Qin?" Ying Zheng made no secret of his purpose.
"Once we defeat the Maurya Empire, all these will be ours." Zhao Qingrui chuckled. She was also quite interested.
"My dear daughter, you are right." Ying Zheng also laughed. He had begun to take the Maurya Dynasty seriously in his heart. Although he heard his daughter say that the Maurya Dynasty was on the decline, he still did not look down on it.
"What are your plans regarding trade, father?" Zhao Qingrui looked at his father.
