Zheng He shook his head helplessly, and continued, "It's just... what if the enemy adopts a siege strategy?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, if the enemy adopts a siege strategy..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Zigao interrupted: "Zheng Qing, don't let me underestimate you, you know that Mengba City is a port city."

"Oh?"

Zheng He only reacted when he heard it.

Even if the enemy army is besieging the city, they will not be able to cause any effective blow to Mengba City!
This is a port city!
And Ying Zigao had expected it a long time ago. As early as three days ago, he ordered those transport ships to temporarily act as merchant ships to go to the Siamese colony to buy food and grass, and to and from Mengba City.

They have surrounded the city for a lifetime, and they themselves have food to eat!

Ying Zigao only needs to feed [-] troops, but what about him Ashoka?

You need to feed an army of 80!

In terms of protracted war, Ashoka is also not an opponent!

First, the efficiency of sea transportation is much higher than that of road transportation!

Second, Ying Zi is high in Siam, so there is this large colony!

A few months have passed, and the farmland around those colonies has already been reclaimed and is ready for the first bumper harvest!

The Qin army does not need to transport grain and grass from the country to Mengba City at all!

And the other side...

The reason why Ashoka was able to rule the poisoned states in a short period of time is not without reason.

He also thought about this.

King Ashoka was having a headache when a Brahmin came over.

He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, according to reports from the spies, the port of Mengba City is now open."

"A steady stream of grain and grass is being transported from the sea to Mengba City."

"We... can't take back Mengba City at all!"

"Hey!"

After hearing this, Ashoka sighed: "Could it be that my Great Maurya Dynasty is really going to lose the city of Mengba?"

The reason why King Ashoka was so obsessed with Mengba City and would rather recruit the national army to attack a Mengba City was because Ashoka also knew that Mengba City was an important trading city!What an impact on body poison!
Mengba City controls the maritime trade routes of the entire Arabian region!

If it is snatched by the enemy, if it is poisoned, it will completely lose contact with Arabia and North Africa!

But at this moment, Ashoka also thought of various ways!

I found that facing the enemy's oriental guns and artillery, I couldn't fight against them at all!
This group of Qin people was called Dongyang people by Shendu people.

It's not Japanese pirates, but this group of Qin people came from the east and came from the sea.

That's why they are called Orientals.

"It's better... let's make peace!"

Ashoka shook his head helplessly and said.

The Brahmin on the side also knew that if he continued to fight against the group of Orientals, his entire body would be doomed!

For this battle, Ashoka mobilized troops from all over the country!
As a result, there have been signs of rebels and rebellious parties in some areas that are already unstable!

If it's dragging on, I'm afraid...

The Maurya Dynasty will split again!
Thinking of this, the Brahmin nodded slowly and said, "Your Majesty, at this point, we can only seek peace..."

"Um……"

Ashoka nodded, and then, he wrote a letter in his own hand and handed it to the Brahmin: "It's up to you, go to Mengba City in person, and deliver this letter to the Emperor Qin!"

"Yes!"

Although this Brahmin was afraid of the Qin people, when he thought of going this time, his actions would be recorded in the annals of history!
There was no rejection.

The next morning!

A woman in fine clothes rode a war horse to the gate of Mengba City.

The woman is fair and beautiful, very different from ordinary poisoned women.

After all, she was a Brahmin with the best bloodlines they could ever imagine!
After entering the city gate, the Brahmin came to Ying Zigao.

As soon as he saw Ying Zigao, the brahmin knelt down on one knee and said, "By order of my king! I, Jamila Singh, come to negotiate with your country!"

Ying Zigao smiled and waved his hands: "Get up, tell me, what do you want?"

"It's what you want."

Jamila got up and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, you invaded our land. Now, we beg you to withdraw your troops and ask you to mention it! As long as we can do it!"

Ying Zigao smiled, and said, "I only have one request, Mengba City, will be the territory of my Great Qin Kingdom!"

"This is impossible!"

Although Jamila is afraid of these Qin people, she also knows that if she signs this treaty, then she will become a sinner through the ages!
Seeing that Jamila was unwilling to agree, Ying Zigao didn't make things difficult for her.

Instead, he took a deep breath, then picked up a glass of Shendu's specialty wine, took a sip and said, "I know, you don't want to be a sinner of Shendu, you don't want to sign such a treaty that humiliates the country, I understand very well .”

Ying Zigao really understood.

"But... have you ever thought about it? This treaty may not mean humiliating the country. I come, I see, I conquer!"

"You were just conquered by our Great Qin Kingdom. After many years, maybe the Peacock Dynasty will cease to exist, and you are a part of my Great Qin Kingdom."

"At that time, history will regard this war as a unification war of the Great Qin Kingdom!"

"You are all Qin people. Qin people were conquered by Qin people. How can it be said that you lost your power and humiliated the country?"

Hearing this, although Jamila knew it was fallacious, she was powerless to refute it.

Just as she was about to speak, Ying Zigao interrupted: "There is an old saying in Qin State, the winner is the king and the loser! Since I won, you should be willing to bet and admit defeat."

"Besides, I didn't intend to destroy your Maurya Dynasty."

"I just, want this land."

"Besides, I didn't say I won't give you benefits."

"This land is considered to be rented by me."

After finishing speaking, Ying Zigao took out the contract he had drafted a long time ago, handed it to Jamila and said, "This contract can also be regarded as a shareholding contract. I will replace your Ashoka and manage this city well. Ashoka Accounting for 50.00% of the shares, that is to say, the benefits brought by this city-state, our two countries, each half! How about it?"

"The method of operation is up to me, and I don't need to bother your king with a headache. He just needs to lie down and collect money."

Hearing this, Jamila hesitated.

She took the contract, looked at it carefully, and then said, "Your Majesty, I need... to return to King Ashoka. After all, I can't make decisions about this kind of thing..."

"it is good."

Ying Zigao didn't even think about it, so he agreed.

Jamila took the contract, returned to Ashoka, and handed the contract to Ashoka.

After seeing it, Ashoka was a little dazed.

After all, this shareholding system was born for the first time in this era.

Ashoka hadn't reacted yet.
