Chapter 207 World Situation
Back at Yuxuan Pavilion, Ying Yu locked himself in the study, thinking about the plan to develop the ocean.
Today's Great Qin has ushered in an unprecedented prosperity.
After defeating the Xiongnu and Donghu successively, it has undoubtedly become the most powerful country in the world.
And with the continuous development of business, Daqin's comprehensive strength is enough to crush other countries in the world.
In this era, there are not many countries that can be compared with Great Qin.
That is, the Mauryan Dynasty, the Roman Empire, the Carthaginian Dynasty, and the Alexander Empire.
Among them, the Maurya Dynasty has the largest population, but its combat effectiveness is a complete joke.
A small big Yuezhi can beat them to death.
Not to mention, there are Zhang Liang who supervised the battle, and Han Xin who is always ready to deal a fatal blow to the Maurya Dynasty.
With the presence of Zhang Liang and Han Xin, two bigwigs, the Maurya Dynasty is no longer a concern.
As for the Alexander Empire, it should still be in civil strife at this time.
If Ying Yu remembered correctly, the Alexander Empire during this period had split into several countries.
Among them, the most powerful Macedonian Kingdom is now fighting with Rome.
The Carthaginian dynasty originated in the Mediterranean.
Relying on the monopoly of Mediterranean shipping trade, it has occupied many nearby city-states, and its navy is extremely powerful.
However, at this time, the Carthaginian dynasty was also fighting with the Roman Empire because of its competition for maritime supremacy.
According to the timeline, in a few decades, the Carthaginian Dynasty and the Macedonian Kingdom will be destroyed by the Roman Empire.
After destroying these two countries, Rome also entered its heyday.
But that will be at least ten years later.
This period is the best opportunity for Ying Yu.
Regardless of the fact that the Roman Empire finally won in history and entered a period of prosperity.
But the current Roman Empire is actually very difficult because of the two-front war.
These Western powers are now all slavery societies.
The composition of its kingdom also exists in the form of alliances, relying on the prestige of the monarch.
If there is a real fight, their loose city-state alliance is simply not enough to watch.
After all, today's Daqin is centralized, with one mind.
It's just that in history, Qin II died.
Later, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was even more complacent and self-abandoning force, and was suppressed and beaten by the Huns.
This also made the land of the Central Plains miss the best opportunity for Xituo.
But now, because of Ying Yu's existence.
The threat on the grassland no longer exists. Under his guidance, Daqin's caravan has now opened up the Silk Road.
According to the information transmitted by Xuanwu a few days ago, the caravan has passed through the Maurya Dynasty.
Reached the Seleucid Empire.
The Seleucid Empire was founded by Alexander's general Seleucus after his death.
"Your Highness, Xuanwu has sent back the latest information."
Just as Ying Yu was contemplating, Suzaku's voice came from outside the house.
"come in!"
After the words were finished, the door was pushed open, Suzaku walked in, handed a piece of information to Ying Yu, and then withdrew.
Upon seeing it, Ying Yu was a little dazed.
There was only one thing mentioned in the intelligence, and that was Antiochus III, who expressed his shock at the existence of such a powerful empire in the East.
Suffering from repeated battles with Rome and failing to win, he made up his mind to ask Daqin for help.
What surprised Ying Yu the most was that Prince Seleucus IV was already on his way to Xianyang with the envoys.
After reading the information, Ying Yu was still a little confused.
He knew about Antiochus III.
At the age of 18, Antiochus III became the sixth king of the Seleucid Empire.
Although he came to the throne at a young age, Antiochus III was full of ambition.
In history, although he lost the war with the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
But in the ensuing campaign, Antiochus III proved that he was the best monarch among all the Seleucid kings since the founding Seleucid I.
And won the title of Great Emperor, and the title of King of Kings of Persia.
What Ying Yu didn't expect was, how could this guy ask Da Qin for help?
Also, how did he know Daqin in such a short period of time?
Although the caravan has already arrived in the Seleucid Empire, but after all, the language barrier, it should not be so convenient to communicate, right?
After thinking about it, Ying Yu didn't understand it either.
But for him, this is an opportunity to get to know the opponent better.
At that time, it would not be bad to let Zhang Liang and Han Xin take the cannon fodder of Da Yuezhi to practice their hands.
At the same time, this also reminded Ying Yu that Da Qin could not miss the opportunity to open the sea.
Fortunately, Daqin's first five-tooth battleship is about to launch.
The enhanced version of the five-tooth warship weighs about five or six hundred tons after conversion.
This is definitely a giant existence at sea.
Coupled with a catapult and a three-bow bed crossbow, it will definitely make the navies of the world terrified.
With a powerful navy, the Maritime Silk Road can also be opened up.
Whether it is profit or fulfilling the dream of conquering the world, the ocean is the object that Daqin wants to conquer.
If one day, ten thousand giant ships can sail freely on the sea, then the whole world will belong to Daqin.
"Your Highness, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
At this moment, Xiao Mei came in with a plate of fruit.
Only then did Ying Yu realize that it was already late at night.
Putting away the materials sorted out on the table, looking at Xiao Mei with a coquettish expression, the corners of Ying Yu's mouth rose slightly.Fun Court
Then he strode forward and threw him on the bed amidst a burst of exclamation.
......
"His Royal Highness, is the sea really as good as the newspapers say?"
After the court meeting, Wang Jian stopped Ying Yu with the latest "Daqin Daily" in his hand.
Today's newspapers use a considerable amount of space to describe the great treasure of the ocean.
"Old general, are you also interested in the sea?"
Ying Yu asked with a smile.
Although Wang Jian is now a Taiwei, he prefers to be called a general.
"Although the old minister doesn't know much about Haiyang, the old minister believes in His Highness. Anyway, it is right to follow His Highness."
Wang Jian smiled and stroked his goatee.
As the first dignitaries who followed Ying Yu to participate in commercial investment, the Wang family has already made a lot of money.
In the entire Great Qin, except for Ying Yu, their Wang family is the richest.
"Old General Wang, don't be polite to me, just speak up if you have something to say."
Wang Jian held the newspaper to stop him, no need to think about it, Ying Yu knew that something must happen
"Haha, I really can't hide it from His Highness. In fact, it's not a big deal. Even that kid Wang Li is not too young now. It's time to go out and fight for a title and come back."
"I don't hear that, Your Highness is going to organize a navy to attack that Fusang Island. The old minister wants my family, Wang Li, to go out with you to see the world."
