Chapter 368 Changing the World
Understanding what Ying Xuan meant, the Yuezhi King could only grit his teeth and lead his army to attack again.

But this time, they haven't rushed forward yet.

The sky full of crossbow arrows covered the entire city.

The city wall on the east side was almost silent for an instant.

The silver-armored cavalry on the north side stepped on the corpse of the heavy cavalry and rushed straight into the open city gate.

The city of Mardan fell into complete chaos.

All the people wanted to escape.

But the phalanx on the south side of the 300,000-strong army was quickly encircling them.

Except for some who escaped early.

All were blocked back.

Fortunately, Ying Xuan was only confirming their loyalty and had no intention of actually exterminating them.

As the army continued to advance westward, the defenseless cities along the way quickly fell.

Almost completely lost its military capabilities.

In the capital, Ying Xuan announced that the entire kingdom would be included in the Qin Dynasty and renamed Guishang County.

No one dares to stand in the street anymore.

The entire Bactria was included in the territory of Qin in one day.

Moreover, if this place is given to them as clan land, Ying Xuan will not leave too many troops behind.

Follow Ying Xuan to the city.

Having him in hand is equivalent to having a handle to restrain the west side.

Attack a small Bactrian country.

Bactria is not a small country. It has 50,000 troops stationed there to take action at critical moments. The rest depends on the development of the Yue clan.

Three hundred thousand troops began to enter the city, and the soldiers on the city wall consciously put down their weapons one by one.

If you want to gain a foothold in this strange land, you must leave some means.

If I remember correctly, it should extend from Afghanistan in the east to near Syria in the west.

Ying Xuan was slightly surprised.

King Yuezhi outside the city finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"People from the Guishang tribe will always be loyal to the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Xuan thought a little.

He regarded himself as a young king. He inherited the dynasty at the age of eighteen and began his overseas expeditions at the age of twenty.

"The Guishang Clan of Great Qin, thanks Emperor Tianyu for this gift!"

After all, the Yuezhi suffered huge casualties in this battle.

Everything calmed down.

It was actually a young man younger than himself.

It faces Western European countries across the sea.

Looking at the young face in front of him.

Antiochus III and Euthydemus had already been escorted by soldiers to the front.

Can you also catch a big fish by the way?
The territory of the Seleucid dynasty was not small.

The soldiers beside them were reporting their identities.

Facing Ying Xuan's unpredictable psychology, the pressure on him was too great.

Antiochus III couldn't believe it.

King Yuezhi stood in front, too excited to control himself.

After the words fell, the remaining 40,000 Yue clan members gathered in the crowded streets.

It was just that the heavy cavalry charged and killed two rounds in the city unscrupulously.

Unexpectedly, he lost the first battle to a man younger and stronger than himself.

Behind him, the Kushan people also fell to the ground and shouted.

It was decided to leave this person to the Yuezhi clan.

He did not expect that the emperor controlled such a large army.

After that, there was no major resistance.

All the people of the Kingdom of Bactria hid in the room.

"The Guishuang clan will always be loyal to the Qin Dynasty!"

Granted to the Kushan clan as their clan land!

Ying Xuan finally breathed out after watching this scene.

There is no external crisis in Da Qin anymore.

Now it's time to get back to dealing with those internal hazards.

By the way, reforms should be carried out to streamline and optimize the national framework of the First Emperor.

The most important thing is that technology must be developed.

Otherwise, just traveling back and forth between Wangting and Xianyang would take nearly dozens of days, both day and night.

It takes more than several months to reach the Indochina Peninsula in the south.

This transmission speed is really too slow, so we must find a way.

Ying Xuan didn't stay much longer.

The subsequent rectification and class policies between Kushan and locals were handed over to Zhang Lianghou.

He once again led the army back to the country.

The food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of troops is still a heavy burden for the current Great Qin.

The role of Kushan is just to be the front station, to find out the strength of the Western kingdoms in advance.

Ying Xuan didn't plan on what achievements they could make.

Just keep this area safe.

For Ying Xuan.

The top priority now is to return to the Western Region and divide it into three counties. Established as the territory of Daqin.

In this way, the second expedition of the system is completed.

Then I will go back to Xianyang, and I can draw lots of money along the way.

……

On his way back to the Western Regions, Ying Xuan didn't know.

Something world-changing is happening.

In the southern part of Great Qin, outside a newly discovered iron mine in Lujiang County.

Zhao Kuang kept clenching his palms with both hands.

This place is within a radius of dozens of miles.

Already being surrounded by tens of thousands of troops under his command.

His Highness gave an extremely solemn warning.

If this thing is really successful.

Anyone who knows the details would rather kill someone wrong than let it go.

Within the encirclement of the army.

A bulge in the iron ore mine.

Ying Qi's son, Ying Xiang, is accompanied by Lu Hui.

With great care, the contents of the two copper furnaces were poured into a copper cauldron stuffed with a lot of cotton.

After Ying Xiang came back, he had not had much contact with the outside world since he was a child.

He just likes to burn various things in the alchemy furnace.

So he was sent by Ying Xuan to learn from the old man who burned sulfuric acid.

Later, Ying Xuan got the ninth volume of the Yellow Emperor's Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill Sutra and sent someone to deliver it.

By the way, I told him the basic formula of smokeless gunpowder.

And he was strictly ordered not to tell anyone.

Later, when Ying Xuan visited the royal court, Ying Xiang tried many times.

After Lu Hui learned that this kind of thing could greatly speed up the mining of iron ore.

I also come to help him every day.

They have done many experiments.

But most of them were deflagrations, which simply could not achieve the effect that His Highness said, cracking mountains, cracking rocks, and blasting with thunder.

This is the last raw material they can use this time.

If it still cannot be achieved, they will have to wait until next year.

When the nitric acid and sulfuric acid are gathered together into the copper tripod, they are mixed with the cleaned and dried cotton.

Ying Xiang, who was emotionless in the past, subconsciously grabbed Lu Hui's arm beside him.

He said somewhat dullly.

"I~I'm nervous."

Lu Hui smiled slightly.

"It's okay, His Highness said it."

"This kind of thing is the result of countless people running around naked on the road to death through trial and error. Only when a lucky person hits the right one will a feasible path be opened up."

"So don't rush, and don't worry."

"It doesn't matter if you can't do it, just play it."

Lu Hui said so.

But his eyes never left the bronze tripod.

After a few hours, the two of them picked up the wire ladles on both sides.

Carefully fish out the nitrated cotton.

They carried the cotton ball from a distance.

Straight liquid low and clean.

Then he placed it in the depression of the mountain.

According to His Highness's message.

The next step is to light the fire.

It is also the most dangerous step.

The two strictly followed Ying Xuan's words.

Pour the grease into the small trench you dug.

Then he ran to the other end ten steps away and started lighting the fire.

Seeing the flames slowly spreading in that direction, the two people hurriedly ran outside.

He ran a hundred steps and stopped when he saw Zhao Kuangzhang.

Everyone was silent and stared at the mountainside.

The next moment.

The fire was not seen.

A drop of rain suddenly hit Ying Xiang's face.

He looked shocked.

"Oops, it's going to rain!"

"That's the last ingredient."

Just as he was about to rush over, Lu Hui caught him with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"no!"

"Did you forget it?"

"His Highness said that even if the sky falls, this moment must not pass."
