Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 209 The Soldier Without Fighting

The next day, a four-wheel drive white-feathered carriage envoy arrived at the Royal City of Joseon.

The car carried two important figures, Li Si and Ji Zhun.

Behind the carriage were fifty iron eagle knights, wearing iron armor and holding long halberds, tightly surrounding them.

Li Si's invitation was opposed by all the officials yesterday, but the Jizhun Dynasty has always been a king with one word, so Jizhun tried his best to overcome all opinions and decided to follow the Qin envoy to the Liaodong Peninsula.

Liaodong Peninsula is located on the frontier of Dajun. After Qin State annexed Yan State, two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi were established here.

Jizhun's face gradually became gloomy. 200 years ago, this was the place where Jizi's descendants settled.

Later, Jizi grew stronger for more than [-] generations, "assuming the title of king", and under the banner of respecting the Zhou family, he attempted to raise troops to "counterattack" Yan State, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, but was dissuaded by the doctor Li.

But soon, because of "the descendants are a little arrogant and abusive", a war between Yan and the dynasty for land was finally triggered.

In the competition with Yan, Ji's North Korea could not reach Yan State, which was prospering according to the law.

In a great battle a hundred years ago, Yan led Qin Kai to attack the west of the Joseon Dynasty, and took more than [-] miles of land to Manpan Khan as the boundary. North Korea was forced to settle in the Qingjiangchuan area.

Mixed with the primitive tribes in the south of the Korean peninsula, the Joseon Dynasty was formed.

Up to now, Ji Zhun is still thinking about Fu Guo, so he pushed back the Yan State and regained the lost territory.

But the dynasty has lost contact with the Central Plains, and it was only a few years ago that Jizhun learned that the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, making Liuhe ventilated, and Kyushu co-operating.

Li Si said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Great Qin ruled the Kyushu a few years ago, and the Great Qin's iron cavalry conquered the Yan Kingdom a few years ago, beheaded King Xi of Yan, and captured the nobles of the Yan King's family. This can be regarded as revenge for North Korea!"

But Jizhun didn’t think so. The large area of ​​land in the Liaodong Peninsula just changed to a new owner. If Daqin took the initiative to return Liaodong to North Korea, this would make Jizhun feel more comfortable, but how could it be possible with empty hands and white wolves?

Ji Zhun came all the way to the county government office, and Li Si also explained the new atmosphere of the empire along the way.

In the future of the Central Plains 200 years ago, I did not expect that the Central Plains would take on a completely new look.

Li Si pointed to the Quyuanli in the field far away, and said calmly: "This thing is called Quyuanli, and it is a sowing tool that His Majesty forged from the fishhook in reflection!"

Jizhun vaguely remembers that when his ancestors migrated to the Korean Peninsula, they brought some tools to the local area to make the transition from tribal civilization to agricultural civilization.

Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, Daqin changed to Quyuanli to sow seeds. According to Li Si's explanation, this method only needs one cow and one person, and the efficiency and income are increased by [-]%.

And Li Si also introduced the Daitian method, the keel waterwheel, and the spinning wheel one by one, which surprised Ji Zhun. He didn't expect that the Central Plains had changed so much after hundreds of years of exchanges.

Ji Zhun swallowed his saliva, he also hoped that Quyuanli and other tools could be promoted in the Joseon Dynasty, but all of this was based on the agreement reached between the two countries, so he dared not open his mouth.

Aware of Jizhun's disappearance, Li Si took the opportunity to persuade him: "Jizi used to be a close minister of King Zhou of Shang, and was convicted for admonishing King Zhou. land, was canonized by the King of Zhou as a feudal lord."

"The descendants of Jizi expanded the territory of the princes and established themselves as kings. Although they were destroyed by Yan, the Ji family still contains the blood of the Central Plains!"

"Although North Korea and Yan Kingdom often fight, it's nothing more than our own internal struggle, but when foreign nations invade, we still have to unite as one!"

Li Si's few words made Ji Zhun shake a little bit, but he still couldn't make Ji Zhun change his heart, just a few empty words could not make him tempted, only genuine jewelry can make Ji Zhun weigh it.

But Daqin had already presented the Tianyue Sword, five BMWs, and fragrant tea, which was considered as the best of benevolence. If Ji Zhun still wanted to make an alliance with the Huns, I am afraid that only swords and soldiers will meet.

In addition to jewelry interests, there is another way to change Ji Zhun's mind.

However, this change is not active, but passive, or called surrender!
The four-wheel drive carriage moved forward slowly, and Ji Zhun kept swaying. The Huns and Qin were both forces that should not be underestimated, and the king of the two kingdoms was also an unprecedented emperor.

Mao Dunmingdi killed his father, annexed Donghu, repelled the Yuezhi, and many northern countries were surrendered by the Xiongnu.

Qin Wangzheng unified the six countries, swept across the world, repelled Touman for more than [-] miles, and brought the South Vietnamese countries into the territory of Qin.

It's a pity that these two emperors had to fight each other because of their grievances hundreds of years ago. This war is different from the past, but a battle that determines the life and death of a nation.

In fact, Ji Zhun wanted to curry favor with both sides, but the two countries were about to start a decisive battle, and black clouds filled the borders of the two countries. This made Ji Zhun have to weigh the strengths of both sides before making a choice.

It's just that Ji Zhun hasn't been released for many years, and he doesn't know the pattern of the world, and he doesn't know the comprehensive national strength of Qin.

But this time, Li Si wants to show Ji Zhun the true strength of Da Qin!
Along the road, Li Si took Ji Zhun to inspect Daqin's grain and grass. Looking at the abundant granary, Ji Zhun was stunned. The food was enough for [-] Korean tribes to eat for ten years.

When Li Si told him that the Liaodong granary was only an insignificant part of the Great Qin, Ji Zhun broke into a cold sweat and his clothes were quickly wet.

Just one county in Liaodong had ten times as much food as the entire Joseon Dynasty, so wouldn't the entire empire be rich in food and grass?

Immediately afterwards, Li Si took him to the local county government office to investigate the population of the empire. There were a million people in a single county. Wouldn't the entire Joseon Dynasty have a larger population?
Li Si's words and deeds constantly refreshed Ji Zhun's outlook on things, making Ji Zhun feel fear like never before.

200 years ago, the Central Plains was ravaged by war, and the Central Plains had only 200 million people. I didn't expect that a hundred years later, Daqin County would be able to compete with that time. Wouldn't the whole country have tens of millions of people?

Wouldn't it be easy for tens of millions of people to gather an army of one million, but Li Si shook his head lightly and said contemptuously: "Why do you need a million armors to deal with the Xiongnu? 30 soldiers in the northern border are enough!"

Further learning that the 30 soldiers are usually cavalry charging into battle, and less than half of the grain transporting army actually participated in the battle, Ji Zhun was completely confused, and his eyes were dull.

Ji Zhun no longer has the courage to cooperate with the Xiongnu in his heart. If he confronts the Central Plains, wouldn't it be a moth to the flame and bring about his own destruction?

Finally, Ji Zhun followed Li Si to the camp of the Chinese Army in Liaodong County. In the dim night, Ji Zhun was placed in the inner camp to rest.

The next day, Ji Zhun was awakened by the sound of drums beating. After leading ten attendants out of the tent, he saw dozens of soldiers in iron armor rushing towards them.
