Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Push the timeline back a little bit to the era before Zhao Dan traveled. In that era, the reason why the US emperor was able to dominate the world, and why he was able to boast about the American dream, was it really because the US emperor had a superior social system? ?

of course not.The reason for this is that after World War II and the Cold War, US imperialism ensured its hegemony through a series of means, and was able to continuously absorb nutrients from the global economy, and truly achieved the goal of exploiting the entire earth. The American emperor life that people yearn for.

History tells Zhao Dan that the happiness of some people always comes at the expense of the misfortune of others, and saying that everyone develops together to create a better tomorrow is basically a lie to children.

That being the case, then the Zhao people, or the Chinese nation, must not be able to bear the misfortune, so I can only ask Ah San and the Seleucids who rule Central Asia and West Asia to make a small sacrifice.

Zheng Zhu couldn't help but speak at this time: "Your Majesty, if you look at it from this map, it seems that the place called the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is closer. Why did your Majesty choose to go to the Western Regions, and then go to Serbia?" What about the east of Ryukyu heading south to India?"

Zhao Dan smiled and glanced at Li Mu.

Li Mu understood, and said, "Zheng Qing doesn't know that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is much higher than the Central Plains, and there is a mountain on the south side that stretches thousands of miles. After that, I often suffer from strange diseases, and I will have headaches, brain fever, difficulty breathing, and physical weakness and many other symptoms."

"What?" Zheng Zhu showed a look of surprise on his face: "There is such a thing? If so, wouldn't this area be unconquerable in the future?"

Li Mudao: "That's not the case. Judging from the current situation, even if the Qiang people in the West Sea area go to the plateau, they will not have this symptom. They just need to station their troops in the West Sea area and let the army get used to this climate. Seven years later, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau should be completely under the command of the king."

"Five years, seven years?" This time obviously cannot satisfy all the great nobles present.

It's like a factory has received a lot of orders, and the bosses are looking for workers all over the world. At this time, an intermediary told them that there are workers, but they have to wait for three years.

You can't wait even three months!

Here it is necessary to talk about the ethos of the Zhao State. The Zhao State at this time, as Sima Qian said in the historical records, belongs to "the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit." The so-called "the king of a thousand chariots, the lord of ten thousand families, and the king of a hundred families still suffers from poverty, let alone the people who live in households!"

This is enough to prove how the business thinking of this era, or the thinking of disliking the poor and loving the rich, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even the rulers who are princes and princes are inevitably greatly affected.

Of course, this actually only exists in the six kingdoms of Shandong where commerce is developed. If everything is swept away by the Great Qin like in history, the merchants can only stay silently and continue to be the dog legs of the nobles.

But in any case, after such an explanation and elaboration, all the important ministers of Longtai present expressed their very clear support for the plan of the Western Expedition.

According to this plan, Li Mu will lead at least [-] cavalry along the Hexi Corridor into the Western Regions at the beginning of spring next year, striving to drive the Huns out of the Western Regions in the first battle, and then sweep the entire Bactria region and open the road to India.

Although it is said that Ashoka, the most powerful king in Indian history, is ruling the Maurya Dynasty in India now, Zhao Dan still has enough confidence in his victory.

After all, the gunpowder weapons owned by Zhao Jun are unique and out-of-the-world killers in this world. No matter how wise Ashoka was, no matter how brave the soldiers of the Maurya Dynasty under his command were, they could not be compared with many gunpowder weapons such as thunderbolts and grenades. In front of him, he could only retreat in defeat.

Zhao Dan made a final explanation for today's meeting with some words.

"My dear friends, don't be fooled by the mere land of the Central Plains. Remember that under the sky, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers! Zhao people will never rest on their laurels, let alone get rich That's it. We must keep expanding, expanding, and expanding again. If one generation fails, we will have two generations. If two generations fail, we will have five and ten generations! One day, I will make this whole world a paradise for my Huaxia people!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Perseus was very happy, but also very tired.

During this period of time, the Seleucid envoy was almost completely obsessed with Nulu, or the beautiful dancers of Nulu in Handan City.

Except for walking outside occasionally, most of the time, Perseus spent most of his time hanging out with the beautiful dancers of Zhao Kingdom from among the female lords, looking for fun every day.

For an old man, twice a night is really a regrettable thing, and every time he finds himself unable to do what he wants, Perseus's regret will be a little more.

This made Perseus occasionally feel a little regretful. It would be great if he could arrive in this magical oriental country earlier.

"I really like the women here, Ales." Perseus lay on the couch, enjoying a massage from a beautiful Handan Jido beside him, and said leisurely to Ales who was beside him.

There was a smile on Ales' face: "If the master likes it, then we can stay here for a while. But please pay attention to the master, the money rewarded by King Zhao is running out."

Perseus is not a pauper. In fact, Perseus is also the number one big family in the Bactria area. It's just that Perseus and others died after being captured by the slave hunting group. Naturally, his belongings were looted by those slave traders.

Fortunately, after coming to Handan and ending his life under house arrest, Perseus received a considerable reward after being interviewed by Zhao Dan, and only then did he have the capital to make him go crazy.

Perseus closed his eyes, and said to Ales: "Actually, I can feel that although the king of Zhao is young, he is an ambitious person. To be honest, if he is so ambitious It may not be a good thing if the king of the country enters the Western Regions."

Alice was obviously taken aback.

Perseus opened his eyes and glanced at Ales, shook his head and said, "My poor silly boy, think about it for yourself, what kind of person is Li Mu in Zhao Guozhong? Can you come to see me with Li Mu's company?" Of course, there is only the wise and mighty King Zhao."

Ales opened his mouth wide, and after a while he sighed with conviction: "Compared with the master's wisdom, this young king of Zhao seems to be lacking in stamina."

Perseus laughed out loud, with an extremely happy smile on his face.

After a while, Perseus said leisurely: "If I guessed correctly, King Zhao's second wave of rewards should be coming soon. Do you know what this means?"

Ales lowered his head humbly: "How dare Ales show his ugliness in front of the master's wisdom as broad as the Aegean Sea?"

Perseus laughed and said, "Ales, although your background is humble, you are the son of a slave girl from the Qin State, but don't forget that as long as I am willing, then you can get rid of the slave status is just a word from me."

Ales hurriedly knelt down: "Master, please rest assured, Ales will always be your loyal servant."

Perseus opened his cloudy old eyes and looked at Ales. There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, but they immediately returned to their original appearance.

"Go to Ales, go and ask me carefully, observe this powerful country carefully, keep everything you see and hear firmly in your mind, and then bring them back to tell Me. After all, no one will notice such a lowly slave like you, will they?"

"This is a powerful country, and it is also a land that is incomparably richer than Bactria. If one day we Seleucids can become the masters of this land, then both you and me will become Seleucids. The eternal hero of the ancients, do you understand?"

Seeing Ales get up and leave, Perseus smiled again on his old face.

"Since the king of the Zhao Kingdom wants me to have fun here, and wants to use women to blind my eyes, then the old Perseus will let him do so."

After saying this, Perseus smiled and stretched out his hand, and placed it on the proud chest of the extremely enchanting Handan Ji beside him.

"Come, my beauty."

The good life for Perseus didn't last long.

This is not because Zhao Dan's rewards are not enough, nor is it because Perseus is tired of the many beauties among the women in Handan. In fact, due to Mao Sui's special arrangement, these beauties around Perseus are basically It is the kind that ordinary people rarely see when they visit women's houses.

But the problem is that Perseus's old body can no longer support such a fast-paced life.

So he fell ill.

This disease lasted almost three months.

After recovering from his illness, Perseus heard a very regrettable news.

"We are very sorry to inform you that Mr. Perseus, your subordinates have died of illness in the past three months because they did not adapt to the climate in our Handan City."

Although he was very sorry, when Mao Sui said this, there was no apologetic meaning in his expression or tone. It was an understatement, as if he was saying that some chickens were taken away by weasels last night.

And Perseus, who had just recovered from a serious illness, didn't seem to have any doubts about this at all, he just sighed softly and said: "I see, if this is the case, then please trouble the manager to help me bury them." .”

"Naturally." Mao Sui nodded, and then took out a strange looking jade pendant and placed it in front of Perseus: "This is what I discovered, maybe Mr Perseus recalled them being helpful."

After putting down such things, Mao Sui left.

Perseus quietly looked at the amulet in front of him. It was a young man named Andy Rose among the missions, and Andy Rose was Perseus' illegitimate son.

After a while, Perseus let out a long sigh.
