Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Qin Jun, who had been exhausted before, was now ready and ready to go.

After experiencing the baptism of war, the already dilapidated capital of the Kingdom of Bactria has also been renovated and has become the current Rong City.

Although the interior is still undergoing renovations.

But I believe that in the near future, this place will become one of the most prosperous cities in Daqin outside the mainland.

With the smoke and dust rising from the sky, the 250,000 West Expedition Army embarked on the journey again.

This time, because of the existence of Rongcheng, 50,000 West Expedition troops who were about to be discharged were left here for garrison.

Half a year later, another batch of newcomers will come to replace them and become the city defense force here.

And these replacements will be the first batch of Daqin men who were discharged from the Western Expedition Army in 877.

After they return to their hometowns, Xianyang Palace and merchants from all over the world will give preferential treatment to a certain extent in the future because of their contributions.

Because Su Yu once said a sentence in the newspaper.

“Those who open up the territory and expand the territory and defend the family and the country should be given preferential treatment.35

The 250,000 Eastern Expedition Army marched mightily toward the northwest, the defense line of the Seleucid Empire.

At this time, the Seleucid Empire fell into a heavy atmosphere of war.

Even the northern Parthian Empire, which had split off from the Seleucid Empire, was under the pressure of the Great Qin Eastern Expedition Army.

Both of these two countries have deep ties with the former kingdom of Bactria.

At first, Bactria and Parthia were split from the Seleucid Empire.

They fought endlessly with each other, quite a bit like the posture of the Warring States Period in the Central Plains more than a hundred years ago.

But even if there is another fight, there will be civil strife between the three kingdoms at most.

As the delicate balance between the three kingdoms was broken by the fierce liger-like army of the Great Qin West, Parthia and Seleucus, the only surviving ones, finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Arshaq, I didn't expect you to beg me this day." The young Antioch III, squinting at the Parthian king at the other end of the table, couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Antiochus III, who succeeded to the throne at the age of eighteen, was the greatest king in the entire history of the Seleucid Kingdom, except for Antiochus I.

Although the succession coincided with the division of the kingdom and the continuous occupation of a large area of ​​the country, it was called the autumn of Seleucid.

But it was the eighteen-year-old king who, after 20 years of uninterrupted fighting, not only conquered the lost ground, but also dared not let the fart of the Peacock Dynasty next door.

Even the entire Seleucid Kingdom has a faint trend of restoring the glory of being the most powerful country on land a hundred years ago.

(bhfa)

Unfortunately, these histories are destined to never happen again.

Although he had already announced at the beginning of the year that he would follow the footsteps of the great Alexander the Great and start the Eastern Expedition again to attack the Peacock Dynasty.

But the army on this side has not yet gathered, and the other side has ushered in an unprecedentedly powerful country, and the news that the westward expedition has eliminated Bactria.

"Well, if you and Theodotus hadn't split from my Seleucus, Bactria would not have fallen into the hands of outsiders!

Sitting at the other end of the table, Arshak with a wrinkled face slowly shook his head: "Your Majesty, if Bactria hadn't split apart, I'm afraid the entire Seleucus would be in danger now.

"You are so confused? Which country is better than I, Seleucus, Pergamum, Bithynia, and Cappadocia, which shall not be recognized by me?

"The Kingdom of Sophia, this year even recognizes me as Seleucus as the suzerain, you say that I am Seleucus dangerous?"

Antiochus III stood up, apparently disdainful of Arshak's words.

In the twelve years since he succeeded to the throne, he once again pushed Seligu, who was about to fall apart, to the commanding heights.

As proud as him, how could he put the world in the eyes of him.

"Alas..." Arshak sighed deeply when he saw the appearance of Antioch III.

"Your Majesty, I admit that Seleucus is as good as you, but..."

Arshak's expression changed when he remembered the picture he had been lucky enough to see before.

Antioch III snorted coldly: "Speak straight.

"It's just that the army is too terrifying, whether in terms of strength, combat effectiveness, or weapons, it is far from what we can compete with.

ps: If you are interested in the Seleucid Empire, you can Baidu.

The Seleucid Empire at that time was indeed a strong group. Of course, it was dwarfed by the battles of tens of millions of heroic divisions in Daqin.

The reason why Seleucus would be called the most powerful country on the road in 300 BC, the author thinks that it is only because we are in civil war.
