I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 217 The Merchants Are Ready to Move

The lessons learned from King Loulan are there.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions, even if they don't have a server in their hearts, they can only bow their heads to the Great Qin Empire. After all, the supreme heavenly soldiers and generals of the Great Qin Empire are now stationed in Loulan City.

if they.

Show the slightest disobedience.

Then the consequences are serious.

The consequence is.

Destroy the country.

Even the king himself could not escape death.

In this situation.

Among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, the remaining 35 countries.

There are many.

An envoy was sent to the city of Loulan.

Then these messengers carried gifts, carrying BMWs produced by the Huns.

Win the government to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin.

Express their thoughts of surrender.

He is very satisfied with Meng Tian who is stationed in Loulan City.

He immediately sent troops to escort these envoys from the Western Regions to Daqin and Xianyang.

……

a month later.

Trek down.

This group of missions composed of 36 countries in the Western Regions finally arrived in Xianyang City of the Great Qin Empire.

After passing through the Great Qin Empire, one city after another has seen the strength and wealth of the Great Qin Empire.

These people from the 36 countries in the Western Regions realized that they were like frogs in a well before, and they had never seen anything before.

now.

When these envoys arrived in Daqin.

In Xianyang City.

Yingzheng is very satisfied.

Because he never expected that it would only take two short months.

The Great Qin Empire successfully conquered 36 countries in the Western Regions.

Although not directly under the jurisdiction.

But for Yingzheng, this kind of direct control of land far away from Daqin is actually not suitable.

The reason is simple, not every piece of land is suitable for direct control.

It's like the 36 countries in the Western Regions are scattered in the vast desert.

And it's not a rich country.

If you send troops to attack.

Getting the land is not enough to make the country rich.

Even, the wealth obtained by conquering such a country is not even enough to send troops.

Under such circumstances, rashly attacking such a small country is simply making yourself uncomfortable, so Yingzheng will not do this. It is naturally a good thing that they are willing to surrender.

As for the direct jurisdiction.

Nonsense.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not do this either.

the reason is simple.

36 countries in the Western Regions.

It is said to be a country, but it is actually a town.

Such a small place sent officials to go directly under the central government.

Is the output enough for officials to pay for soldiers?

Probably not enough.

As long as they are willing to submit to Daqin as dogs.

Ying Zheng doesn't mind giving them a little bone, let them continue to control such a small place, and then become a straw king.

But before meeting these envoys, Ying Zheng first met his good son, Ying Changsheng.

"Changsheng, how do you think the 36 countries in the Western Regions should be dealt with?"

Ying Zheng met his son in Zhangtai Palace.

He asked straight to the point and asked Ying Changsheng, but after hearing Ying Zheng's question, he said it with a smile.

"If the 36 countries in the Western Regions are in other places, they are more than 36 insignificant countries. Whether it is to destroy the country or ask them to pay tribute after surrendering, it is normal, but these [-] countries The country and the others have a special feature, which needs to be treated with care by Daqin!"

Well, the most important thing about the 36 countries in the Western Regions is not the strength of their countries.

It's because these 36 countries are dotted across the vast grasslands and deserts of the Western Regions.

And they are the key places one after another passed by on the Silk Road.

All I heard was that Ying Changsheng said solemnly to Ying Zheng.

"For the 36 countries in the Western Regions, my Daqin needs their kings to send all their heirs to my Daqin, and set up a college in his city of Xianyang to teach them my Daqin's writing customs and system, so that they will love my Daqin!"

"In addition, it should be stipulated that they should be given a territory, and they are not allowed to attack each other. If they dare to start a war without authorization, then my Daqin will punish the person who first started the war. The point is to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!"

"After all, my Daqin actually doesn't need everything in the Western Regions. My Daqin just wants to ensure the stability of this route and ensure that these small countries can provide food, drinking water, and a place to stay for the caravans along the way. , if they attack each other back and forth, how will the interests of our Great Qin Caravan be guaranteed."

"It is!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded involuntarily.

He continued to open his mouth to ask.

"Is there anything else that needs attention?"

"Of course there is!"

Ying Changsheng said without thinking.

"Secondly, the Western Region is far away from me, and Qin is really too far away. Even from Loulan to our great Qin, it takes a month. With such a long distance, everything needs to be decided by the court in person. It's really too far. It's too difficult!"

"Moreover, if there is a long delay, the news will easily lag behind. It is very likely that this problem has not been resolved, and the next problem will follow one after another. Therefore, I feel that a jurisdiction should be established in the Western Regions to be responsible for handling all the affairs of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Affairs, this institution, has an army ranging from a few thousand to 1 people, which is used to maintain local law and order in the Western Regions and maintain the authority of this institution. What do you think?"

"This is not bad!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up suddenly.

He said.

"So, who do you think is the right person to run the institution?"

"In my opinion, Meng Tian in Loulan is the most suitable!"

Ying Changsheng said without thinking.

Meng Tian doesn't care about his loyalty.

Or his ability to handle affairs is worthy of recognition.

Let him take control.

It couldn't be more appropriate.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng also showed a satisfied expression, he nodded and said.

"Then let Meng Tian go there!"

"But having said that, since the Western Regions have been pacified, it's time for us, the Great Qin Dynasty, to start doing business in the Western Regions, right?"

Ying Zheng's voice fell.

Ying Changsheng on the side immediately showed a satisfied expression, and he said with emotion.

"Indeed, since the Western Regions have been pacified, then naturally, my Daqin caravan can go deep into the Western Regions, and then start doing business!"

"It's just where is this product sold?"

Hearing Yingzheng here, he couldn't help showing curiosity, and he said with emotion.

"This product goes all the way west through the Western Regions, and then goes west until it reaches a place far, far away. There is a big country in that place, named Rome, which is powerful and powerful. Great Qin, but placed in the far west, is already the most powerful country in the world, with a strong national power and extraordinary wealth, so these things are sold to these people in the end!"

"I see!"

Ying Zheng nodded, thinking of the Rome marked on the map.
