Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Three months later, the border cities of the Maurya Empire were still at peace.

The slave owner was arrogant and domineering, still scolding his slaves at will.

Civilians were left on the verge of starvation and could be sold into slavery at any time.

The caste system is not absolute. Even civilians may become slaves due to bankruptcy.

Outside the city, there were countless corpses and vultures, no one buried them, and no one paid attention to them.

However, all this will change today!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It seemed as if the gods in heaven were venting their endless anger, and it seemed as if the world-destroying flames were sweeping across the world, destroying everything in sight.

This is the red cannon exploding!

Then the Maurya defenders who were guarding the city were shocked to see countless well-equipped infantry, carrying matchlocks and artillery that they had never seen before, slowly approaching!

The border of more than 100 kilometers was filled with beacon fire, the roar of artillery, and the smoke of matchlock guns at this moment.

When the red cannon shells shattered the city gate, all the defenders had long since abandoned their armor and surrendered on the spot.

……

In the Mauryan Dynasty and Fahrenheit City, the smell of blood has not yet dissipated.

Looking at the many frightened Brahmins, Ashoka looked very regretful, but he was extremely happy in his heart.

Today's gathering seemed unexpected, but it was actually his intention.

The Brahmin's guess was correct. The more than a thousand guards near here were all loyal to him and could sacrifice their lives for him at any time.

As long as he gave a look, they would immediately step forward and use their lives to replace the Brahmins present without any hesitation.

This is actually a warning and a naked threat!

The Brahmin who was filled with indignation just a moment ago was ready to explode.

At this moment, everyone was feeling cold. Looking at their companions lying in a pool of blood in front of them, they were all trembling with fear.

As the masters of the Maurya Dynasty, they cherish their lives far more than others.

After all, civilians die when they die. They have never seen any scenery in their lives, so it is not a pity at all to die.

But they Brahmins are different. Whether it is women, wealth, or power... they can easily get these things that are difficult for ordinary people to get!

You can live a life of drunkenness and dreams every day, enjoying yourself and forgetting about Shu!

If you were killed by these so-called guards here, you would definitely lose your blood.

Many Brahmins were completely silent, acquiescing to Ashoka's feudal system reform and not daring to oppose it anymore.

King Ashoka did not press too hard. After all, if these Brahmins were really killed, it would definitely cause a great split in the Mauryan Dynasty.

At that time, let alone entering the feudal system, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to maintain unity again.

"Although such an accident is something we don't want to see."

"But now that the culprit has committed suicide, let's leave it at that."

"Now, let's get back to the topic, about my king's enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor next month..."

"Report! Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"

King Asoka was smiling, ready to completely confirm his intention to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

But the words had just begun when a Mauryan Dynasty guard with blood-red eyes and a miserable state rushed in!

"whats the matter?"

Ashoka looked over and asked calmly, but in his heart he sentenced the guard to death, and decided to torture him to death!

I just dare to interrupt myself like this, I just don't want to live!

However, the news brought by the guards made Ashoka and everyone present feel extremely shaken!

"Kings!"

"An enemy has invaded the eastern border of our Maurya Dynasty and has captured seven large cities and countless small cities in ten days!"

"They are hanging the black dragon flag and they are suspected to be from the mysterious Great Qin!"

The guard seemed to understand that he only had a few words, so in order to survive, he told all the key points of the news without any hesitation!

As soon as the words fell, Ashoka, who had been sitting peacefully without moving even when the Brahmins forced him up before, seemed to be electrocuted at this moment. He stood up immediately!

Everyone else also widened their eyes and looked at that person as if they had seen a ghost!

Isn’t Daqin the prey of their Mauryan Dynasty?

Why is he now knocking on the door in reverse?

Many Brahmins were completely dumbfounded!

Even the most rational Brahmin among them, like Ugotimalo who died just now, believed that the Mauryan Dynasty would probably be defeated when it invaded the Qin Dynasty.

But they never thought that Da Qin would come knocking on their door one day.

And it was at this time, at the critical moment when Ashoka had just finished drawing the pie and was about to forcibly implement the feudal system!

"Great Qin! Great Qin!"

"They are so rebellious! They actually want to attack our great Maurya Dynasty!"

"Now that they are here, let them see the power of our Mauryan Dynasty and see the bravery of my people!"

After Ashoka was initially stunned, he soon fell into endless anger.

He immediately left the royal garden, took his ministers to the newly built imperial palace, which was used to prepare the enthronement hall, and began to enthrone!

The ministers stood vertically. Except for the Brahmins, all of them had received complete instruction over the years and had learned the etiquette of monarchs and ministers in the Central Plains.

Although Ashoka has not yet ascended the throne, he is actually no different from the emperor.

King Ashoka is sitting on the dragon chair, with the dragon robe prepared in advance not far from him.

He glanced at the ministers and then at the dragon robe, a deep reluctance flashed deep in his eyes.

It was almost, obviously it was almost!

If Da Qin hadn't suddenly attacked, he would have been able to put on the dragon robe next month.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy from Great Qin!"

At this time, someone reported,

Upon hearing this, Asoka looked away and frowned.

In the imperial palace, an envoy from the Qin Dynasty was walking calmly, holding in his hand the certificate of war signed by the First Emperor.

Although I haven’t read the content of the gauntlet yet, this scene almost scared everyone in the Maurya Dynasty!

What does this represent?

It represented that Da Qin's mobilization power had reached an extremely terrifying level.

The credentials for the war have just been delivered here, and the vanguard army over there has already begun to attack the Mauryan Dynasty!

Especially after seeing the contents of the credentials, Ashoka's already tense nerves were even more on the verge of collapse! Because it actually states that the reason for starting the war is because their envoys from the Maurya Dynasty hurt people in Daqin!

They injured a person in Da Qin, offended the majesty of the Great Qin Kingdom, and represented the rudeness of the people of the Maurya Dynasty to the people of Da Qin!

As the saying goes, if the lower beam is not straight and the upper beam is crooked, then the king will be the same as the people.

If only the envoys of the Mauryan Dynasty were so rude to the people of Great Qin, then the king of the Mauryan Dynasty must also be ambitious towards Great Qin and intend to invade the borders of Great Qin!

Therefore, the Great Qin Army must severely punish the Mauryan Dynasty for the sake of justice, to punish evil and promote good, and for the sake of the common people in the world!

Although the Mauryan Dynasty's ambition to invade the Qin Dynasty mentioned in the war letter was indeed true, after all, they had just talked about this topic not long ago.

But the original reason was so funny and outrageous. It was obvious that Da Qin could have countless legitimate reasons.

For example, the Mauryan Dynasty sent people to sneak into the territory of Daqin to cause destruction, causing a super locust plague in Handan County.

For example, they protected the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and openly opposed the Qin court.

But Da Qin chose the most insulting reason - your envoys beat people in Da Qin, so our Da Qin army must help the people fight back!

Ashoka's face has turned the color of pig liver!

This is the first time since he inherited the throne that he has been insulted like this!

"Come here! Drag him down and chop him down!"

The angry King Ashoka wanted to send someone to capture the envoy of Qin and execute him!

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone stopped him.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"

This person is none other than Wei Bao, a remnant of the Six Kingdoms. By his side are Han Xin and Tian Dan.

The three of them walked out together to prevent King Ashoka from killing the Qin envoy.

Ashoka was dissatisfied, but he did not express it, but wanted to hear what the three of them had to say.

Wei Bao took a deep breath and then said: "If the king wants to implement the reform of the feudal system, then this envoy of the Qin Dynasty cannot be killed."

"Why?"

"Because the most critical factor in promoting the feudal system is to promote the legal system, let the national code replace the customary laws of various places, and transfer all adjudication, military and administrative powers to the king through law, and achieve a high degree of unification of national power."

"Under this system, the emperor is the symbol of the country and the official of countless people. His words and deeds will be imitated by the people all over the world."

"If the king kills the envoy of Qin here, then if the news reaches Qin, Qin will definitely publicize the matter and criticize the king. He will even say that the king who kills innocent people indiscriminately does not deserve to be crowned emperor."

"Although we know that this is a naked slander, the people are ignorant. If they really believe it, then even if we defeat the Qin army, the deceived people will no longer support the king in proclaiming himself emperor. "

"Besides, the reason why Qin is weak is that Qin Shihuang killed innocent people indiscriminately and wasted national power."

"The king is a born god, the destined emperor of the Maurya Dynasty, a benevolent and righteous king known to everyone, how can he be the same as that tyrant?"

"As long as we don't give Great Qin any excuse, those Qin troops who hastily invaded are destined to be just clowns."

"The king only needs to give me 30,000 people, and then I can let them come and go without any return!"

When they came out, except for Wei Bao and the others, everyone else in the palace looked extremely contemptuous, even the Kshatriyas were no exception.

Ashoka may be lacking in other things, but he is definitely not lacking in murderous ruthlessness. He killed at least two people today!

But usually, it’s even more outrageous!

What does such a person have to do with the so-called benevolent and righteous king?

But they didn't dare to express their complaints, but even though they didn't say anything, Ashoka felt that Wei Bao was right.

That's right, how could I be the same as the First Emperor who violently suppressed the Qin Dynasty? He is a benevolent and righteous king.

In fact, Ashoka also knew that these words were flattering, but that didn't stop him from enjoying listening to them!

And there is one thing about Wei Bao that Asoka thinks is right, that is, Qin's invasion was extremely hasty.

Just imagine, my side just sent people to sneak into Daqin to cause a locust plague four years ago. After all these years, it is not certain whether Daqin can recover from the locust plague. How can it be possible that it still has the strength to attack the Maurya Dynasty?

Although listening to the battle report, the Qin army seemed to be invincible, King Ashoka still felt that they were just at the end of their efforts.

King Ashoka nodded with satisfaction: "What Wei Qing said makes sense, then I will not kill this envoy, and at the same time give you 30,000 people to defeat the Qin army!"

"Come here, please invite this Qin envoy down so that he can entertain you."

The envoy of Da Qin was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was originally a death row prisoner in Da Qin who had committed a serious crime.

This time, as an envoy who came to deliver credentials, it was almost certain that he would die. The First Emperor also rewarded his family with a large amount of property.

Originally, he had already written his suicide note before setting off, but now he doesn't have to die!

"Ha ha!"

Wei Bao looked at the confusion on the envoy's face, and immediately showed a stern expression: "You are stupid! How can you escape my eyes with your superficial calculations?"

"When we defeat the violent Qin army and behead the commander, I will let you take the head back with you!"

Han Xin and Tian Dan also echoed: "It is impossible to disturb the hearts of the people of our Mauryan Dynasty, and the Qin army is in a cross-border jungle, with miasma and swamps coming from afar, and the logistics pressure is huge."

"Bao Qin will definitely lose this battle!"

The envoy of Great Qin: "..."

I have to say that too confident is also a good thing for fools.

The envoy of Da Qin just rolled his eyes and was invited to go down.

King Asoka was also filled with joy and began to give orders, asking his men to mobilize troops and gather food and grass to prepare for a counterattack against the Qin army.

Although thirty thousand people were not many, for the Mauryan Dynasty, which was still in slavery, it would take at least a year to mobilize.

Because this involves the transportation of countless grains and grass, as well as the gathering of armies of slave owners from all walks of life, this is by no means something that can be completed overnight.

However, Ashoka, Wei Bao and others were not in a hurry. Anyway, the Qin army came from afar, and the logistical pressure was definitely countless times greater than fighting on their own land.

The Qin army absolutely cannot afford to waste time!

It is even possible to drag Qin's main force to death, paving the way for the Mauryan Dynasty's counterattack!

Ashoka once again looked at the dragon robe hanging beside him with passion!

Although the time to put it on may be delayed, you still have to put it on after all!

His beautiful fantasy was just halfway through, and at this moment, the second battle report arrived again!

"The king is in trouble!"

"The Qin army has attacked Nalanda!"

At this moment, everyone present froze again!

Nalanda...

Nalanda is less than 200 miles away from Fahrenheit City!

What did those Qin troops do? How could he cross countless cities and suddenly Nalanda appeared, suddenly appearing around Huashi City!
