The heavens start from saving Daming

As the saying goes, go up to the north, go down to the south, left to the west and right to the east.

The reason why the west is placed last is because in this era, other places are barbaric continents, and only the west can barely be called a trace of civilization.

"The king certainly knows that to the west of Da Qin are Yiqu and Quanrong, but does the king know where the west of Quanrong is?"

It was just a simple beginning, but I never thought that Ying Zheng would actually answer, "Of course it's the Yuezhi."

Seeing Li Yunze's surprised expression, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Sir, you said it before."

Well, Li Yunze simply skipped it and placed his finger on the west of Da Qin. "This area is known as the Western Region. There are many city-states, and one city and one pond dare to claim the title of country and king."

In fact, there are many city-states in the Western Region that are not too small, but compared to the Middle Earth, they are really not worth mentioning.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately showed anger.

The Qin Dynasty has a fertile land thousands of miles away, and now he dares to call himself a great king.

To dare to claim the title of king in a mere city is simply an insult to the word king.

"There are mountains running east-west here, called Tianshan Mountains. To the north of Tianshan Mountains is Jinshan Mountain, and to the south is Kunlun Mountain. They all run east-west. While layers of them block the cold wind, the snow on the mountains melts and nourishes a large area of ​​fertile land. The land. Moreover, the local people have been farming for many years and have already developed mature fields."

The Western Region is far away from the sea and is blocked by mountains, so the warm and moist air from the ocean cannot flow through. Therefore, there are large areas of dry desert and Gobi.

But there are several famous large mountains here. There is sufficient snow water on the mountains, and a large amount of water is replenished seasonally every year.

Before mechanized reclamation and large-scale construction of artificial reservoirs, this snow water was enough to feed the fertile land cultivated by local people, and there was even leftover to form large lakes and swamps, such as Lop Nur, Juyanze, etc.

Although Ying Zheng was only more than ten years old, even when he was a hostage in Zhao State, his mother Zhao Ji would ask famous teachers to teach him. After returning to Qin State, he was specially trained.

By the way, the reason why Ying Zheng’s father, King Zhuang Xiang of Qin Dynasty Ying Yiren, was established as the prince was not only because he took the route of Mrs. Huayang, but more importantly, he went to Zhao State for many years. hostages!
In this era of war and strife, giving up the privileged life of a young master and taking the risk of being killed at any time to become a hostage in an enemy country is a very great achievement.

Since he came back alive, the credit cannot be denied, and everyone in the Qin Dynasty recognizes this credit!

Therefore, Ying Zheng received a good education, which is not the so-called sage's words from the rotten Confucians and those who know it, but real knowledge.

He knew very clearly that with fertile soil, more people could be fed, with more people, more soldiers could fight, and with more people, more taxes could be collected. There will be more people doing corvée work, working to produce various materials, etc.

Therefore, for Ying Zheng, the attractiveness of gold, silver, jewelry, minerals and beauties is far less than that of fertile soil.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yunze did not introduce anything else, such as the many charming beauties in the Western Regions, the many raisins, etc. He only talked about the land here.

This is how we truly grasp the core of the issue.

"This is the Hexi Corridor. It is not difficult for Daqin to go to the Western Regions. It only needs to follow here."

Li Yunze's introduction to the Western Regions was very detailed, because in a short period of time, except for the six kingdoms of Guandong, Daqin could eat the most abundant fat in its mouth.

Although other places are very good, they are far away and cannot be visited even for many years.

Ying Zheng's eyes were shining, and he stared at the Western Region for a long time.

Since he is the king of Qin, his biggest wish is to expand his territory.

The kings of Qin in the past dynasties had this idea, and only then could they conquer the Qin State from a mere place to the fertile land it is today.

The current Great Qin has already become a serious problem for the countries in the Kanto region after the Changping War. A forced external attack can easily lead to a joint attack on Qin. Therefore, if it can open up the Western Region, it will also be very attractive to Ying Zheng.

The so-called vertical refers to the north and south. At this time, the north, south, and south of Guan are Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu. Their combined efforts to deal with Qin are called combined vertical.

As for the Qi State, ever since it was stabbed in the back and almost destroyed the country, and relied on Tian Dan to restore the country with two cities, it no longer participated in the chaotic wars between various countries. It did not fight a war until the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms.

At this time, Ying Zheng looked at the Western Regions with great interest, just like King Qin Huiwen King Ying Si looked at Bashu.

As for the difficulty of the road, no matter how difficult it is, can there be a plank road?Isn’t there the Hexi Corridor?

Seeing that Ying Zheng was indeed interested, Li Yunze said in his heart, "Zhang Qian, I'm sorry." '

If the Qin army really went to open up the Western Regions, then of course there would be no need for Zhang Qian, who was No. 1 in opening up the Western Regions.

Li Yunze's finger continued to slide toward the west "from here to here"

His finger drew a long track on the west side of the Western Region. "It was once a huge country."

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng was shocked, "How could it be so big?!"

"Indeed." Li Yunze nodded, and his finger landed on an inconspicuous dot in the far west. "More than 80 years ago, there was a country here called Macedonia."

"The king's name is Alexander. This man became a disciple of a famous master and learned advanced knowledge when he was young. When he was 16 years old, he took over the power from his father. When he was 20 years old, his father was assassinated and Alexander immediately ascended the throne and became king."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart moved slightly. This encounter was somewhat similar to his own.

Li Yunze's narration continues, "This man acted very decisively, eliminating the unrest within the palace, defeating all opponents with ulterior motives, and completely taking control of his country."

Ying Zheng's mood became more and more aroused. This was simply a replica of himself.

He is the King of Qin, and he should be the one to command the Qin Dynasty. However, from the Queen Mother to Father Zhong, too many people have taken away the power that should belong to the King of Qin. It is really hateful!

As a teenager, especially after experiencing hardships, Ying Zheng knew everything he needed to know.

Don't look at the people shouting "Mother, Father" in their mouths, but in their hearts, hehe~~~
"It only took this person one year to conquer all the surrounding countries, thus unifying this area with many city-states and many small countries. By the way, the name of this area is Greece."

Ying Zheng looked at the area circled by Li Yunze's fingers carefully, feeling that it was not as big as Da Qin's.

But it only took a year to settle down. This man named Alexander was indeed quite capable.But if you look at it from another angle, this is so similar to the current world situation!

'How many years will it take for a few people to dominate the world? '

Li Yunze's narration continues, "Another year, when this man was 22 years old, he began to lead an expedition across the world. From here to here, and then here again, he defeated this huge country in many battles. Wait until he is 26 When he was only [-] years old, he already ruled a huge territory from here to here."

Ying Zheng's expression became more and more surprised.

The area painted by Li Yunze is very large, almost as much as half of the world.

It is really incredible that this person named Ya managed to conquer such a huge territory in just a few years.

"This is not over yet." Looking at Ying Zheng with a face full of disbelief, Li Yunze smiled and continued to slide his finger. "When he was 27 years old, this man started his eastern expedition. He first defeated the area of ​​​​the two rivers, and then went south to enter This large area.”

Li Yunze drew a circle with his finger on the land of India. "This large area is called Shendu. People started farming here thousands of years ago. The water is abundant and the fields are fertile. There are fertile fields everywhere."

Needless to say, this undoubtedly touched Ying Zheng's happiness point. What he likes most is fertile soil.

When there is fertile soil, there are people, and when there are people, everything is available.

How difficult it is to open up wasteland by yourself, and it will take many years. There is no comfort like grabbing it directly.

"By the time he was 32 years old, this man had conquered this large area." Li Yunze stretched out his hand and drew a big circle on the map. "The territory he conquered in more than ten years of hard work is greater than that of all the countries in the world combined." The area is even larger.”

Having said this, Li Yunze stared at Ying Zheng with burning eyes and asked softly, "What this person has done, is it possible for your Majesty to do it?"

The shock in his eyes gradually turned into incomparable confidence. Ying Zheng raised his chin and his words were full of confidence.

"If this person can do it, I can do it too!"

The words are very weighty and can be said to be impactful!

After a while, Ying Zheng lost his composure and sighed, "It's a pity that we are all alone now."

"This matter is not difficult." Li Yunze waved his hand with a smile, "Let's discuss it later."

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly, then stared at the wooden ball with a slight doubt, "Sir, the person named Ya is pointing at Bingfeng, not far from the Western Region. Since he has eliminated the poison in his body, why didn't he go to the Western Region? ? If you went to the Western Regions, it has been more than 80 years, why hasn’t there been any news? "

This surprise and confusion are also justified.

It stands to reason that the body-destroying poison surnamed Ya was only in his thirties when he was sweeping the world. With the speed he was sweeping across the world, it was not impossible to continue eastward into the Western Region, and even further eastward to the Great Qin.

But why is it that decades have passed and no news related to this has been heard? Could it be that there is some powerful country in the Western Region that actually blocked this person?

"It is indeed here." Li Yunze's finger landed on the west side of the Western Region. "This place is called Dayuan, which is the country founded by General Alexander."

"This man was cured of the poison when he was 32 years old, but he died of illness when he was 33 years old."

"After his death, the huge country also fell apart, and various places were carved up by his generals, and they were constantly fighting for each other. Naturally, he no longer continued to the east, west, or even the Great Qin. Come."

"It's actually dead?"

Hearing the news, Ying Zheng felt very regretful, "It would be so spectacular if he could come all the way to Da Qin and fight with my Da Qin tiger."

In an era where literature is valued but martial arts are respected, 'Don't come, don't come, don't come. Watch me use the words of a saint to influence you!no?If not, give me gold, silver, silk, and beautiful girls!Not yet?If that doesn't work, then kneel down and ask for help! '

In the age of martial arts, 'Come on, come on, come on. Let's have a good time! '

They are the same people, why is there such a big gap?

It's obvious that Ying Zheng still has unfinished business with Alexander's story.

Even Ying Zheng was envious of being able to conquer a territory far larger than the entire world (at this time, Middle Earth) in more than ten years.

He stood up respectfully and saluted Li Yunze.

"Thank you sir for talking about the past and the present for me. I have benefited a lot."

In the eyes of later generations, Ying Zheng was just a big boy, but in this era, he was actually a real actor.

Many people even have children at this age.

There is nothing we can do about this. In the era of war, life expectancy is very low, so we can only push everything forward as much as possible.

So the salutes and rhetoric may seem a little childish, but they are actually very solemn.

Li Yunze motioned for Ying Zheng to sit down and speak, "Hasn't it occurred to your Majesty that all these stories I told you were all made up by yourself?"

"If sir can make up such a wonderful story, he will be a great sage in the world."

Ying Zheng doesn't care about this, as long as he has the ability, he can use it.

"Dare to ask sir."

After sitting down again, Ying Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "What should I do to dominate the world like this Ya's family?"

Li Yunze picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "The first thing the king has to do is to take back the power that should belong to King Qin!"

'Dang bang! '

Lord Changping, who came in with a pottery plate filled with roasted mutton, heard this and the pottery plate in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
