Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

Ying Zigao recalled a science fiction novel he read in his previous life, and thought, the world today is like the law of the dark forest in "The Three-Body Problem".

This world is a dark forest, and every civilization is a hunter with a gun.

They sneaked in the forest like ghosts, gently pushed aside the branches blocking the way, tried their best not to make a sound with their footsteps, and even had to be careful with their breathing.

He had to be careful, because the forest was full of hunters who were as sneaky as he was.

If Ying Zigao can find that other civilization first, then he is a hunter!
Never be a prey!
Thinking of this, Ying Zigao said: "Zheng Qing, we naturally want to establish friendship with those people from the Western Regions, but if we want to make friends, the premise is that we have strong strength, otherwise, we are not friends. To them , is the prey sent to the door!"

Hearing this, Zheng He nodded slowly: "This minister understands what His Majesty means, and this minister also thinks so."

"It's great if you think so."

Speaking of this, Ying Zigao thought again, when Zheng He sailed to the West, why was he not as powerful as when the Westerners started the age of great voyages?Not ruling the world?

It was because the Chinese people at that time were too civilized.

Sometimes, being too civilized is not a good thing.

"As the saying goes, when you meet an opponent in chess, you should be courteous before fighting. Zheng Qing, what I mean is that wherever you go, there will inevitably be a fierce battle!"

Speaking of this, Ying Zigao suddenly thought of a funny joke from netizens in his previous life.

One sentence to describe the British Empire at that time was "Open the door! Free trade!"

But Zheng He didn't think so.

After all, Zheng He was born in a different age, and he has not experienced that tearful history.

He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, our Great Qin Kingdom is a country of gentlemen, how can we use force to make people submit?"

"Zheng Qing, you don't know anything about this." Ying Zigao shook his head and said, "If we don't do some things, someone will naturally do them. This world is like a forest. Every civilization, every country, Either it's the hunter, or it's the prey."

Ying Zi simply told Zheng He the law of the dark forest in "Three-Body Problem".

Hearing Ying Zigao's words, Zheng He nodded slowly and said, "Your Majesty...the words are reasonable...but, specifically...how should I do it?"

"It's simple."

Ying Zi simply took out his hand-drawn world map, first pointed to the location of Siam and said, "The first stop of this trip is Siam. We will rely on force to establish a free trade city in Siam. This one is used for trade with the Siamese."

"The so-called courtesy before soldiers, we can first offer the silk and gold and silver of our Great Qin Kingdom in exchange for a coastal city-state. If they agree, then we can avoid a fierce battle. If they don't agree, we will use our cannons to bombard them." Open the gates of the enemy!"

"The second stop is Tianzhu, use the same method, then, the third stop, and so on, use the same method everywhere!"

"So, for this trip, you have to bring enough treasures."

Hearing this, Zheng He nodded slowly.

He understood Ying Zigao's meaning, then knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true, I will definitely die!"

"Okay, don't be immortal."

Ying Zigao helped Zheng He up, and then continued: "However, there is still at least half a year before you go to sea. During this half year, the people in the Ministry of War will be responsible for recruiting troops. One hundred thousand sailors will be trained by you. The one hundred thousand sailors will be trained by you. Sailors, you need to separate out each branch of the military in detail."

"What does your majesty mean?"

Zheng He looked at Ying Zigao with a puzzled expression.

Ying Zigao smiled slightly, and continued: "Out of the [-] sailors, at least half of them must be specially trained for landing operations!"

"Think about it, a 10 army is not a small number. At that time, any country will definitely not agree to you taking these [-] people ashore and entering their land. At that time, if the negotiation collapses, it will be inevitable." A fierce battle, then the tens of thousands of sailors specially trained on how to land will come in handy."

"You don't need me to teach you how to fight, do you?"

Hearing this, Zheng He nodded slowly and said: "That's natural. Although I don't often lead troops to fight, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's trust!"

"That's good."

Ying Zigao patted Zheng He's shoulder, and continued to speak: "My Great Qin has what they don't have! If they want it, my Great Qin can give it to you! But the premise is that no matter where we go to any piece of land, we must build our own. colony!"

"colony?"

"Yes."

Ying Zigao nodded again and said, "This voyage to the West is not just about establishing friendly nations and opening up trade routes, but more... about conquering! It's about unifying the world!"

"What... what? Unify the world?"

"Correct!"

Ying Zigao's goal is very simple. The world in his eyes is not just the Yellow River Basin where China is located.

The world in his eyes is the whole world!The whole earth!
"This... I understand!"

Zheng He nodded slowly.

But in my heart, I was still a little worried.

After all, although Zheng He traveled to the Western Ocean, at most he only traveled to the Arabian Sea, far from reaching Europe.

After seeing off Zheng He, Ying Zigao slowly came to Qin Shihuang's bedroom.

For some matters, Qin Shihuang still needs to be consulted.

When it comes to conquest, Qin Shihuang must have more experience than himself.

I am just a little boy talking on paper, and the knowledge I have is nothing but knowledge from books.

Ying Zigao couldn't be more clear about this.

When he came to the door of Qin Shihuang's bedroom, he slowly reached out and knocked on the door of Qin Shihuang's room.

"Enter!"

Inside the room, Qin Shihuang's old voice came.

Ying Zigao pushed open the door, slowly stepped into Qin Shihuang's bedroom and said, "Father, you are my son..."

"Ah, Zigao!"

Qin Shihuang slowly sat up from the bed and said, "Sit down, Zigao, what is it that you are looking for your father this time?"

"It's still... something about last night."

Hearing this, Qin Shihuang laughed twice, and then said: "Hahahaha, this matter! Zigao, to tell you the truth, my father also thought about it for a long time yesterday."

"Oh? Does the emperor have any better suggestions?"

"Father feels that it is not easy to conquer Western countries. It is difficult to rely solely on economic strategies. Even if we build an elite army, we will not be able to conquer them in a short time."

"Yesterday, you also said that the countries of the Western Regions are not far behind even if they are not as good as our Great Qin in terms of civilization or military. Besides, the road is far away. Although they can't beat my Great Qin, we can't do it either." conquer them completely."
