All Heavens: Get the Nine Swords at the start

Chapter 253 The Rich Indian Continent

"We have to find an opportunity to get rid of Yun Zhongjun from the Yin Yang family to prevent future troubles."

Thinking of this, a figure can't help but emerge in the bottom of my heart. The elder of the yin and yang family, Yun Zhongjun Xu Fu, no matter in the original book or in history, this person is the main culprit that caused Ying Zheng to pursue longevity crazily.

This person is not dead, Li Ming cannot sleep or eat.

Ying Zheng is only three years older than Liu Bang. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two are a generation, but Liu Bang has lived nearly 20 years longer than Ying Zheng. If Ying Zheng can be given 20 years, even if his heirs are all A faint king can also guarantee the continuation of the Qin Dynasty for several generations.

The Xiongnu had no chance to take the opportunity to occupy the Hetao Plain and rise up, and invaded the Central Plains for decades.

Here I have to talk about the reasons why the Huns were able to rise suddenly.

The reason why the Xiongnu were able to rise rapidly and drove the Yuezhi people who had been riding on their heads to shit and piss to the Western Regions was not only that their leaders for several generations had great talents, but the more important reason was that Qin II would be stationed in Gaoque The Mengtian garrison in the Qing Dynasty was transferred back to the pass, and Gaoque, the mighty pass city, and countless fortresses built during the first emperor's time were handed over to the Huns in vain.

It was the natural barriers of these giant cities, coupled with the lush aquatic plants in the Hetao Plain, that allowed the Xiongnu to rise rapidly and defeat the Yuezhi people, the original overlords of the grasslands, in one fell swoop.

At its peak, the Xiongnu claimed to be "controlling 40 people" and all the countries in the Western Regions who killed them to the west bowed their heads and became the blood bag of the Huns. Even Dawan, which was farther away, trembled under its blade.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was besieged by the Huns and almost lost his life. Later, it opened the precedent of peace between the Central Plains and nomadic peoples.

There was an eunuch named Zhong Xingshuo in the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu's marriage team. Because he was dissatisfied with being the attendant of the Han and Xiongnu's marriage, he had a grudge against the Han Dynasty, so he turned to the Xiongnu and became an important adviser to the Xiongnu Shanyu.

Afterwards, many wars launched by the Huns against the Central Plains involved this person's shadow.

It also helped the Xiongnu to further improve the system and taught them to keep track of things so that they could calculate and record their population and livestock numbers.

This person was the first traitor recorded in the history books. After that, the Huns were able to cause disaster for decades and broke through the defense line of the Great Wall several times. Among them, this person played a very important role.

……

However, in this world, it is impossible for the Xiongnu to have a chance to rise again. Even, there will be no nomads going south to harass the border in the entire grassland.

Historically, the nomads have repeatedly banned them, as if the weeds were endless. Once the Central Plains is weak, the nomads in the north will take advantage of the opportunity. The most important reason is that the grasslands are not suitable for farming.

If it is not suitable for farming, it means that there is no profit to be made. Every time you fight against it, it will only increase the burden on the country. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why only when the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, can it send troops to suppress the chaos on the grassland. to the invasion.

In order to solve the grassland chaos in one fell swoop, the most important thing is to let people see where the interests lie. Only when interests are driven, can the people voluntarily support the continuous expansion of the court.

For this, Li Ming already had a countermeasure in his mind, but it was not suitable to propose it now. After all, the Central Plains had not yet been unified, so how could he talk about going north to pacify the grassland chaos.

Once Qin State wiped out the six countries and completed the unification, Li Ming would find new opponents for the Qin army who drew his sword and looked around at a loss. As long as they wanted to fight, Li Ming would let them fight until they were completely unable to fight.

As long as the grassland is in the bag, the Central Plains can go all the way westward to the Mediterranean Sea. This is only secondary. It doesn't matter what the hell in Europe wants, and there is nothing to fight for.

The most important thing is to include the rich Indian continent. This continent is so fertile. As long as this land is included in the territory, the food it produces is enough to feed hundreds of millions of people.

Didn’t the third brother rely on the fertile land of the Indian continent to feed a population of more than one billion? If this continent is handed over to the people of the Central Plains with full farming attributes, even if the ancient agricultural technology is not perfect, it should not be possible to feed two to three billion people. question.

This is only the lowest estimate. If tools that can increase grain production, such as Quyuanli, and high-yielding crops such as Champa rice are added, this number is estimated to more than double.

Li Ming has already decided to publish a "Journey to the West" in the name of Taoism after Qin is unified, but this Journey to the West is different from the original Journey to the West.

I can't write that the journey to the west is full of difficulties, and there are various dangers encountered on the way, and there are few rich countries passing by.

Instead, like "Marco Polo's Travels", India is depicted as full of gold and beauties, and people living here don't need to worry about filling their stomachs.

The rice here is cropped three times a year, and you only need to sprinkle some seeds casually to harvest enough food for a year. People living here eat, sleep and play every day.

Anyway, no matter how beautiful it is, as long as it can arouse the greed in people's hearts.

Just like when we first broke through the Guandong, we beat roe deer with sticks to ladle fish, pheasants flew into the casserole, and countless people flocked to enter the Northeast land.

Besides, Li Ming did not make false claims. Because of its special climate, the Indian mainland can indeed produce three crops of rice a year.

As for gold, the most indispensable thing in India is gold.

The people of the Central Plains have arrived in India, what should the Indians do?
This is not an issue that Li Ming needs to consider. As long as the people in his family can eat and wear warm clothes, who can control these people? Whether to kill or keep them will depend on Ying Zheng's mood.

If it is not possible, these people can also make a "small contribution" to the construction of the Great Qin Empire.

Repairing the city, repairing the track, this kind of thing will trouble them to do it.

As for resistance?

It may be because of the simplicity of obtaining food. People living on the Indian continent don’t seem to be very opposed to other people’s enslavement. Anyway, they will never be hungry. Therefore, India has only been invaded since ancient times. share.

When it comes to the track, Li Ming can't help but think of the "air car" that Ying Zheng mentioned when he finished the night talk with Ying Zheng.

This car is not the other car, but it was transformed by the public loser, who imitated the white tiger of the Mohist mechanism, and added the overbearing mechanism of the snake. Gongshuchou is the main designer and builder of this "qi car".

When Li Ming was chatting with Ying Zheng, he occasionally mentioned the idea of ​​a steam train. It may be that Ying Zheng had talked about it with Gong Shuchou.

The gas train made by Gongshu Qiu is very similar to the steam train that Li Ming knows, they all run on the track, but because of the lack of ironmaking technology, the track is tentatively designed to be a mixture of wood and bronze.

When Gongshu Qiu was experimenting with this car in Qin Shaofu, he found that the rails made of wood and bronze were not very durable, and various problems often occurred, and they had to be repaired every other day.
