Chapter 580 Who will be eaten next
Those dynasties didn't even have time to please them. In this case, not every sheep thought that the wolf lying beside them wanted to eat itself in the next step.
But Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai didn't think so. They both knew the turbulent Warring States Period before the Great Qin Dynasty, and they also knew how Great Qin stood out from the other six powerful vassal states.
In that era, the land of the Qin Dynasty was almost full of straitors, Yin-Yang families and politicians. However, in the end, when the Qin Dynasty was almost dominant, many countries even imagined the plan of joining the Qin Dynasty to destroy other countries and then obtaining benefits from it, but they did not know that this was exactly what the Qin Dynasty wanted.
In this way, the weak countries did not truly unite and were eventually defeated one by one by the Qin Dynasty, which was the only way to unify the world.
Now that this situation has happened again, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai both knew that the Qin Dynasty would definitely start their conquest on this land again, but I don’t know when it was. The tranquility before the storm came just made other dynasties in the surrounding area think that the Qin Dynasty would stop here and would not go further outside the Mauryan Dynasty.
After they all relaxed their nerves, Daqin could only make them pay a heavy price.
"Since that's the case, we should also remind Seliu's monarch very well, otherwise if this guy had the idea that Daqin would not continue to attack, things would be difficult."
Zhao Cheng was still very cautious, and this kind of caution was exactly what they needed at this stage. At least at this time, Antioch III must exist firmly in this place, so they stood on the same starting line as Antioch III.
After Zhao Cheng finished saying this, Hu Hai nodded and signaled to a guard behind him. The guard then left the room and closed the door tightly, leaving only Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng. Obviously, what Hu Hai was going to say next was not on the same heavyweight level as what they discussed before.
"Sir, how did that happen?"
"From the moment, it's still quite smooth. Because the people who came out were all from the Mauryan Dynasty, no one knew that this matter was related to us. In less than two months, there would probably be good results!"
Obviously, they both knew what that matter was referring to, but under such circumstances, no one said it out loud, which was enough to show their caution about this matter.
"Okay, General Zhao Hu's health is basically going to be healed during this period. What we planned to do before will be checked by General Zhao Hu personally. If it is someone else, I can't believe it. Once someone knows it before the matter is completed, our lives will definitely be explained here."
"This matter is top secret. Only the three of us know the real situation. Don't worry, both the Qin, the Huns, or the Seliu, will not know it. Even the people of the high caste of the Mauryan Dynasty who came forward did not know what we were for. What we wanted to use was the wealth in their hands. After using them up, Zhao Hu would naturally deal with them."
When Zhao Cheng said this, Hu Hai nodded slightly, and then stopped asking about this matter. Obviously, he could say less.
After the two of them discussed, Zhao Cheng stood up and went to Seleu's capital, naturally the purpose was to meet Antioch III.
The Mauryan Dynasty was set up into three counties by the Qin Dynasty. The original name was abolished, Antioch III naturally knew it. In his way of thinking, Antioch III did not think that this could represent anything. It would be very normal if he built a city from another dynasty and then turned it into a name he liked, right?
But Zhao Cheng came over at this time, which made him feel very bad. He knew what Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were most afraid of when they lived in his territory at this time. Of course, he had some mistakes.
In such a situation, if Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai had a premonition of danger, they would definitely inform themselves as soon as possible. Although Seliu's military strength is not as good as that of the Qin Dynasty, at least they can still fight for a while and they will not have to surrender directly as soon as they come.
"What do you mean is that the Qin Dynasty turned the Mauryan Dynasty into its own three counties, indicating that they are about to take action against our surrounding forces?"
Zhao Cheng almost never kept him in the face of Antioch III. He came up and directly expressed his concerns with Hu Hai. He told Antioch III that since Ying Gao had been transformed into three counties of the Great Qin by the Mauryan Dynasty, it indicates that the Mauryan Dynasty had completely fallen into the control of the Great Qin at this time.
Zhao Cheng introduced to Antioch III the seven heroes fighting in the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, and how the Qin Dynasty eventually ate the other six countries one by one, and finally embarked on the great cause of unification.
Now, it is only less than twenty years since that time. In twenty years, although the emperor of the Qin Dynasty has changed from the First Emperor to the current Ying Gao, Zhao Cheng believes that the meaning expressed by the Qin Dynasty in the war will definitely not be much different.
"The Qin people are warlike. This is something that everyone knows about in the Central Plains before. Now they are in power. This warlike nature is of course indestructible. Since Seliu had had fierce confrontations with the Qin Dynasty before and had coveted some territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, in my opinion and my son, it is only a matter of time before the Qin Dynasty uses troops to Seliu. The emperor needs to prepare early and leave a way out for himself is the king!"
Zhao Cheng said this and his third generation frowned. Of course, he knew that Zhao Cheng was definitely not here to fool him and provoke his relationship with Daqin, because he and Zhao Chengdu knew that even if Daqin wanted to beat him, he could only take some passive measures. It is impossible to take the lead first. Needless to say, once you go out of the Seliu realm, the Huns will have to give you a blow. Whether you can get to the realm controlled by the Daqin people is not certain.
"I will pay attention to what you two think of. You should continue to observe the movements of the Qin and the Huns in the Mauryan Dynasty. If there is anything wrong, you should inform me immediately!"
After saying this, Antioch III signaled that Zhao Cheng could leave. Obviously, he did not intend to discuss with Zhao Cheng how to deal with the possible troubles.
Zhao Cheng also left the capital where Antioch III was very tactfully. The purpose of his trip was to give Antioch III an impression of the Qin Dynasty. Of course, he would not think that Antioch III would regard himself as a confidant.
After Zhao Cheng left, Antioch III summoned his confidants and expressed the views raised by Zhao Cheng. After hearing this, the generals below were almost all sad, especially those generals who had attacked the Mauryan Dynasty before, and they wanted to get downstairs. They thought that if they hadn't attacked the Mauryan Dynasty, Seliu would have made the Qin and the Huns very afraid with such strong strength. Now, the first person they would definitely be Seliu.
Under such circumstances, as long as an old man dressed in a civil servant, he saw that the generals stopped talking, he slowly stood up and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty, I think that although the two great Qin people said had some truth, they were not so urgent. The reason they said this was probably for themselves!"
After the old man finished speaking, Antioch III nodded slightly and said, "What the sir said is reasonable, but judging from the current situation, only if my Seleu Dynasty is fine can they be safe and sound in my Seleu city. So their reminder is for themselves, but also for me Seleu!"
"Will they want to make me Seleu, the Huns or the Qin Dynasty hostile for a long time, and then make something shameful behind my back?"
This old man was obviously not very relieved about Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai.
"Hmph, they are now under the strict surveillance of the people under my command. Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu, who have just recovered from the injury, sometimes go to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty to find out some information, the other two people almost never leave the city. They are completely in my palms, what kind of waves can they make?"
Antioch III was still very confident about this matter. He believed that the city was full of his spies, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai could only stay quietly in this city. If they dared to do something else, they would only be swept out of the house by themselves. At that time, even if he had the identity of the younger brother of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, which dynasty would dare to use this identity to make a fuss?
Of course, Antioch III underestimated Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, underestimated their ability, and even underestimated the patience they had developed over the years.
Ying Gao's transformation of the Mauryan Dynasty into three counties not only had a great impact on the Mauryan Dynasty, but also had many changes to the Qin Dynasty. The most prominent one is that more and more people from the Mauryan Dynasty entered the Qin Dynasty from the Western Regions.
Some of them brought the Mauryan dynasty goods to Daqin to trade and earn the difference, and some of them wanted to see what the Daqin looked like. Others were that the whole family had reached the territory of Daqin to see if they could settle in Daqin.
Those who wanted to conclude in the Qin Dynasty had very advanced ideas. They obviously saw that the Mauryan Dynasty was just an affiliation to the Qin Dynasty. Although they used the same Qin laws and unified the same weights and measures, the Mauryan Dynasty was the Mauryan Dynasty. The Mauryan Dynasty was not the Qin Dynasty. There were some invisible things that they could never enjoy as the people in the Qin Dynasty, so they came.
As for such a situation, Ying Gao had already thought of it in advance that under Xiao He's leadership, they divided the counties and counties of the Qin Dynasty into several levels based on population and land.
Where the lower level is, that is, where the population is urgently needed, as long as the Mauryan dynasty who could roughly understand the Qin dialect, they would directly share the houses and land, and give a policy of tax exemption for one or two years.
However, for prosperous cities that are not short of people, such as Xianyang City, it will be very troublesome to be determined here. Of course, it is the highest level. Ying Gao requires that the people of the Mauryan Dynasty who want to enter Xianyang City to settle down must have a skill, and this skill can reach the top, or be helpful to the military of the Qin Dynasty, or agriculture, or business. Moreover, these people must be personally reviewed by Xiao He and Xianyang Order Cao Shen before they can obtain the qualification to be determined in Xianyang City.
Of course, once one person succeeds, he will not only get an opportunity to work in an institution directly under the Xianyang Palace, but also get a salary and housing. This can be said to be a place that all the people of the Mauryan Dynasty yearn for.
Nearly three months after this order was issued, the first group of people from the Mauryan Dynasty who wanted to settle in Xianyang City arrived in turmoil.
They are different from those who want to settle in Bashu or Lingnan. Those people don’t need to go through any verification. As long as they are healthy and have status, they can take their families there directly.
But Xianyang City is different. In the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, Lu Jia had already roughly reviewed it once. You have to be someone with a skill to be qualified to send you to Xianyang City to try it out to see if you can get into the eyes of Xiao He and Cao Shen. Of course, the standards of Xiao He and Cao Shen are also Ying Gao's.
This time there were only three people, one of whom was a blacksmith who had been famous for the long time in the Mauryan Dynasty. It is said that it could create the sharpest weapon in the entire Mauryan Dynasty. It is well-known among the people. Lu Jia must have sent such a person.
The other two, one of them, was a man who had written the laws of the Mauryan Dynasty. He had the deepest understanding of the Mauryan Dynasty. It is said that there was nothing he didn't know about the Mauryan Dynasty. Although he had no other specialties, Lu Jia always thought it was useful and sent it here.
The last person was a genius doctor of the Mauryan Dynasty. Almost everyone knew about the people of Huafa City. Lu Jia asked many people and said that this person was very disrespectful to Shari Saiga. If it were someone else, he would have no idea how many times he had died, but Shari Saiga still did not kill him. There was no other reason, just because he was afraid that if he got sick, no one could cure him. So why don’t he find him?
Doctors are a very scarce profession in Daqin. Even the doctors in Xianyang Palace are not many reliable ones. Lu Jia knew about this, so without surprise, this person was selected.
