Chapter 220 The first step to conquer the world
Whether it is destroying the Xiongnu or the Donghu, Daqin always wins more with less.
Although there are losses in itself, compared with the benefits obtained, these losses are almost negligible.
This is the case even in the conquest of the Maurya Dynasty.
Ying Yu only sent Han Xin with [-] elite cavalry to suppress the formation.
The main force that really attacked the Maurya Dynasty was the Da Yuezhi.
The loss is borne by Da Yueshi, but Daqin takes the lead in the interests, and it can't be more stable.
Even if he was going to send troops to Seleucus, Ying Yu planned to use this method of borrowing strength to fight.
After all, in his eyes, the soldiers of Great Qin are precious.
He was reluctant to suffer too much loss to his troops.
And to be honest, with Daqin's advanced weapons and equipment, he really didn't pay attention to the military formation that the Romans relied on to rule the roost.
The reason why it has been procrastinating is just to maximize the benefits.
"His Royal Highness, what kind of conditions do you need before you agree to send troops, please tell me directly."
Beth, who was on the side, glanced at Seleucus IV and said helplessly.
There is no way, if you ask for help, you can only humble yourself.
Let the opposing lion speak loudly.
Seeing this, Ying Yu naturally stopped arguing with them, and said seriously:
"First: Seleucus wants to become a vassal of Great Qin and become a vassal state of Great Qin."
"no problem."
They had already thought of this before meeting Ying Yu.
Therefore, Seleucus IV agreed very simply.
"Second: Seleucus needs to pay [-] catties of gold to our Great Qin every year."
"can!"
Seleucus IV hesitated a little but nodded with an ugly face.
Although [-] jin of gold is a lot, they consumed more than [-] jin of gold every year when they fought against the Romans.
"Third: Our Great Qin reinforcements will help you fight back the Romans. As for the land after the Romans retreat, it belongs to my Great Qin!"
Ying Yu had already thought about this third point.
With the guarantee of expanding the territory, the enthusiasm of the soldiers will be higher.
The ministers of the DPRK and China will not object.
As for casualties.
Ying Yu intends to ask Wusun, Qiuci and other countries in the Western Regions who have newly joined the Great Qin Alliance to contribute some of their troops.
Although it is a commercial alliance in name, since it has accepted the benefits of Daqin, how can it be done without any effort.
But Ying Yu didn't intend to use them as cannon fodder.
He will support the coalition forces of these small countries with some weapons and equipment, so that they have the ability to face the Romans head-on.
In this way, the main force of Daqin will be much more stable.
This time it is an expedition, a transnational operation.
Therefore, as the candidate for the coach, Ying Yu intends to use Meng Tian.
The two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi can be said to have grown up with Brother Zheng, and they have absolute loyalty to Da Qin and the others.
Moreover, Meng Tian not only had a high prestige in the Great Qin Army, he was also well-known in Wusun, Qiuci and other countries because of his perennial garrison on the Great Wall.
Daqin can compare with Meng Tian in this respect, only Wang Ben.
Of course, this was in the absence of Wang Jian.
But for this expedition, Meng Tian is more suitable than Wang Ben, so Ying Yu chose Meng Tian.
As for the fierce generals who charge into the battle, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others are all good choices.
Recently, the two sisters of Lu Zhi have performed well, so they can consider giving Lu Ze a chance.
But here, Seleucus IV only thought for a while, and then agreed.
Today's Seleucus is unstable internally, and even if the Romans are repelled, they are unable to control the lost land.
Rather than letting the nobles split Seleucid, it is better to give the land to Daqin.
And in this way, Da Qin stood in front of their Seleucus.
If the Romans come again, it will be Daqin's land that will be invaded.
"As for the marriage you said, forget it!"
Ying Yu waved his hand, probably because of the influence of later generations, he is still quite resistant to such things as getting married.
"His Royal Highness, we, Seleucus, have agreed to all your requests, and we have only one condition, which is marriage."
Seleucus IV spoke with a firm expression.
For his sister, he is very confident.
Even if she can't become a princess, she can definitely capture the heart of the prince in front of her.
As long as my sister has the right to speak in Daqin.
Seleucus had a chance to rise again.
Ying Yu was speechless for a moment, he knew exactly what Seleucus IV was planning.
If a country reaches the point where it depends on women to support it, then the country is not far from extinction.
Ying Yu did not object to Seleucus' insistence.
Anyway, it's not a loss.
Wait for the so-called princess to come and see what she looks like.
If it's beautiful, then reluctantly accept it as a maid, if it's ugly, just throw it aside and let her fend for itself.
"One last condition!"
"This war must be dominated by my Great Qin, and your Seleucid army must unconditionally obey my Great Qin's command."
This is the key.
Daqin must win the command of this war.
As long as he gets the command, it is only a matter of time before Daqin wants to completely control Seleucus.
And it can also use this to consume more strength of foreign races.
"This matter is of great importance. I can't be the master. I need to write back and ask my father for instructions."
Seleucus IV hesitated a little, then spoke.
He is not a fool, so he naturally understands the importance of this command.
However, the current situation in Seleucus does not allow him to refuse.
"Yes, the crown prince has plenty of time, so he can afford to wait!"
Ying waved his hand, and after a few polite words with Seleucus IV, he invited them out of Yuxuan Pavilion.
......
The next day, the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace.
"As long as Seleucus agrees to my Great Qin's conditions, they can only obediently obey my Great Qin's arrangement when they lose their command.
After defeating Rome, my Great Qin will also have enough influence in the Far West. "
"When the sea trade really develops, my Daqin can further control the Seleucid area through the sea route. It is only a matter of time before Seleucus is completely taken down."
In the Qilin Hall, Ying Yu stood in front of the world map and explained to the courtiers.
"If the sea route can be opened up, it is indeed much more convenient than the land route. I estimate that arriving at Seleucus by sea route can save at least half of the time."
In front of the world map, Ying Zheng looked at the Seleucid area marked by Ying Yu and nodded repeatedly.
This area is a place that the Central Plains Dynasty has never touched.
If it can be won, it is not as simple as expanding the land for thousands of miles.
This is the first step for Daqin to conquer the world.
Therefore, in this battle, Daqin must win.
