After the college entrance examination, bring a system to serve as a soldier

Chapter 178

When the news came out, the entire Great Qin fell into a carnival again.

Many of the people who went to Xianyang City to participate in the launching ceremony of the Wuya Giant Ship did not expect that they had not yet recovered from the power of the Naval Giant Ship, and that they would have such a huge surprise.

Ordinary people took to the streets, singing and dancing.

And soon, the entire Great Qin also entered the celebration.

"Haha, born in my Daqin, it is really the greatest luck!"

"So much glory that has not been seen for thousands of years has now appeared in my Great Qin!"

"Tu'an country, isn't that the hometown of Princess Yushu in the side room of His Royal Highness the Prince, and now King Tu'an actually married the whole country as a dowry!"

"The newspaper didn't say that some ancient country also came to ask my Daqin for help, in my opinion, they simply married a princess, and more land as a dowry!"

"How dare you think of it!"

"Why not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a fairy god, and it is the greatest honor for a foreign princess to serve His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"When I am a Great Qin person, I am much stronger than their nobles from small countries!"

One by one, the people were beaming, pointing at the map of Tu'an State printed in the newspaper, celebrating the expansion of the territory of Daqin again.

There was a lot of confidence on his face.

This time, they have truly seen what the real Heavenly Empire is!

All of them share the same honor.

Xianyang City, the residence of the envoys.

Seleucus IV and his envoys looked at each other, and they all didn't know what to say.

On the way here, in order to facilitate communication, they specially learned Qin language, and now they can roughly understand the content of this newspaper.

And the latest news that the First Emperor of Great Qin agreed to annex Tu'an and merge into Great Qin suddenly put the Seleucid Kingdom in an embarrassing situation.

Nowadays, the hottest topic in the entire Great Qin is Tu'an Kingdom.

They repeatedly asked to meet Fusu, the prince of Great Qin, but they were also blocked back on the grounds that they were busy with state affairs.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also more concerned about the smooth integration of Tu'an Kingdom.

For the Seleucid kingdom, it seems that it is a little unconcerned.

"Now, how are we going to deal with it?"

Seleucus IV sighed.

"The ministers have been studying this Great Qin Crown Prince recently, and it can be concluded that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a complete hegemonist, the lord of Great Qin's interests is paramount, and he will definitely not be soft on any opponent who has offended Great Qin.

The three former grassland kings we saw yesterday, as well as hundreds of thousands of grassland captives who are working as coolies in Great Qin, are proof of this!"

Opella, deputy head of the Seleucid legations, councillor and member of the royal family, spoke slowly.

Seleucus IV nodded, and Opella's vision was recognized by the entire Seleucid kingdom.

"Therefore, I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately did not see us, just waited for us to be anxious, and then sat on the ground and raised the price. "

"After all, Daqin can afford it, but we can't afford it!"

"Your Highness has also seen that Great Qin is an empire that is actively expanding externally, and is currently using the Donghu people of the grassland to attack the Mauryan Dynasty, which is larger than ours, and it is progressing very well. "

"At most, ten years of effort, this Peacock Dynasty will be completely annexed by Great Qin. "

"And this His Highness's ambition is not only this, he openly declared to all the people of Great Qin in the newspaper that if it is to be realized in the future, wherever the sun shines, it will be Qin soil!"

Seleucus and the others gasped in unison.

Conquering the world, isn't this what Alexander the Great wanted to do, but didn't do?

However, they had to admit that the current Great Qin Empire was indeed stronger than the former Alexander Great Empire!

The number of people and the degree of prosperity alone are not comparable to Alexander's empire.

"Therefore, Rome, which is also expanding rapidly, is definitely a potential enemy of Great Qin, and sooner or later it will have to clash head-on with Great Qin!"

"And the fate of our Seleucid kingdom is actually only three, one is to take refuge in Rome, the other is to take refuge in Great Qin, and the last one is to be destroyed. "

"In the midst of the two superpowers, even if the former Alexander the Great is resurrected, I am afraid that it will be difficult to change his life against the sky, not to mention that the great empire has been divided into several pieces at this moment!"

Opella sighed heavily.

Over the decades, the Seleucid kingdom not only did not expand successfully, but continued to shrink.

When it was first established, the Seleucid Kingdom was still called the Seleucid Empire, inheriting the prosperous land of the entire Persian region, with a population of 10 million and a territory of more than 3 million square kilometers, which was not much smaller than the Mauryan Empire.

However, after the founding monarch Seleucus I failed in his attempt to attack Macedonia and was assassinated, the situation took a turn for the worse.

First, it was defeated by the Ptolemaic dynasty, resulting in the loss of most of the eastern territories. The kingdoms of Sabbath and Bactria became independent from the Seleucid Empire.

Today, Antiochus III, despite his efforts to conquer some of the lost territory, has encountered more powerful Romans, and the situation is even more difficult than before.

"My Seleucid Kingdom, is there really no hope?"

Seleucus IV was very lonely.

"In this world, power is truth, and there is no shame in giving in to the strong. "

"In the past, the Persian Empire was not once strong, but now, there is no trace of the Persian royal family at all. "

"We've missed the best opportunity!"

"Now it's just to see which side is more advantageous to take refuge in Great Qin or Rome. "

Opella said with a wry smile.

Seleucus IV froze directly in place and did not speak for a long time.

What Opella said, how could he, as the crown prince, not see it.

The Seleucid Kingdom was founded only a hundred years ago, and its ruling foundation was not very stable.

Many remote places, after losing consecutive battles, are already a bit of a tail.

If one is not careful, it will be divided again, just like the kingdom of Sabbath and the kingdom of Bactria.

Moreover, the voice of the capitulation faction in the country is not small at all.

Originally, I thought that Great Qin would be more hopeful than Rome, but now it seems that although Great Qin is more civilized, it is only for Great Qin's own people.

For foreign lands, it is even more domineering than Rome.

However, Great Qin and Seleucus have no old grudges.

The Romans, on the other hand, had a blood feud with Seleucus.

It's just that after all, he is the crown prince, and he is also used to being high, so it is still very difficult for him to personally say the words of calling the ministers and paying tribute for protection.

After a long time, Seleucus IV said in a hoarse voice: "We still have 500,000 elite troops, and the countless riches of the capital Antioch, we still have hope!"

"But when we had a million-strong army before, we all failed, can the improvised 500,000 people really stand up to the barbaric Romans?"

"As for Antioch, the riches are many, but if they are captured, they will belong to the Romans, not to us. "

Opera mercilessly punctured the illusion of Seleucus IV.

"But can Great Qin really defeat the terrible Romans?"

Seleucus IV was still gritting his teeth.

"Great Qin's achievements have said it all, whether it is the barbaric Huns or the terrible Dayue clan, they have all become the soul of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry. "

"The Donghu people who defeated the Peacock Dynasty are completely the eagle dogs of Great Qin!"

"And the terrible Great Qin Sailor, His Highness has also seen it personally, the Romans are definitely not opponents. "

"Even if the Great Qin expedition is not suitable for thousands of miles, at least it can fight with the Romans. "

Seleucus IV nodded, the strength of the Donghu cavalry and the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin Naval Division, he had seen it with his own eyes.

"And although Great Qin is powerful, it is still too far away from my Seleucus and Rome. "

"We can first call the minister Nagong and pray for the protection of Great Qin, at least Mr. can survive!"

"It's best to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the people say, which can be regarded as an extra layer of protection!"

"It's really not possible, you can also cede some land!"

"It's better than destroying the country!"

"And although my Seleucid Kingdom is not as good as in the past, it is also an influential kingdom in the surrounding area, and I believe that Great Qin can also use us!"

"The most important thing is that we have no choice but to Daqin!"
