Half of Yingzheng's body fell on the world map, looking around, it was like finding a treasure.
"world map!"
"This is really a supreme treasure!"
"This is the continent, is this the ocean? I know it, I know it!"
"By the way, Su Qing, where are we now?"
Ying Zheng searched for a long time, but couldn't find the location of the Great Qin Empire. "Is it this continent, or this continent?"
he asked, pointing to South America and North America.
His face was extremely excited!
Su Chen smiled wryly and stepped forward. He drew a small area in eastern Asia with his finger, "Your Majesty, our Great Qin is here. The above characters are called simplified characters, and I can translate them for Your Majesty."
"What!?"
Ying Zheng was stunned on the spot!
That small piece of land turned out to be his Great Qin Empire, how could this be possible?
"nonsense!!"
"My Great Qin Empire has such a vast territory, thousands of miles of splendid rivers and mountains, how could it be such a place the size of a palm!"
"Su Qing, your map. Is there something wrong?"
Ying Zheng was very angry, very angry!
He originally thought that his Great Qin's iron hooves had conquered at least one-fifth of the land on this map, but who knew, not even a few tenths!
If he was reprimanded by Ying Zheng for another courtier, he would probably be scared to pee!
But Su Chen didn't take it seriously.
He even rolled his eyes, and said unhurriedly:
"Your Majesty, do you know...how big is this world?"
Ying Zheng did not answer.
Su Chen clasped his hands and said: "I calculated according to the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", the current territory of our Great Qin Empire is about 1.36 million square miles!"
Yingzheng is proud.
Su Chen continued: "The ancients said that a million is a billion. The total land area recorded on this world map has reached an astonishing 600 million square miles!! It is equivalent to more than 40 times the territory of Great Qin!"
Yingzheng misfired.
"How...how is it possible!"
"Su Qing, are you sure you are right?"
"I have only conquered one fortieth of the world's land?"
Su Chen sighed, "Your Majesty, I don't want to hit you, but that's the truth."
"Please look, Your Majesty."
Su Chen pointed to the world map, "This continent is called Asia, which occupies one-third of the world's total land area. The small part in the east is our Great Qin. The only threat around it is the Hun Kingdom in the north!"
"The other Yuezhi Kingdoms, Qiang Kingdom, Sushen Kingdom, and Loulan Kingdom can basically be ignored."
"Further to the west, the most threatening country of Magadha!"
"That piece of land is called 'India', where there was a powerful Mauryan Dynasty, and the ruler was named Ashoka!"
Ying Zheng moved his eyes to the land of ancient India, and frowned tightly.
The eyes are full of strong fear, fighting spirit and desire to conquer!
"The Kingdom of Magadha!"
"The Peacock Dynasty!"
"Ashoka!"
"It sounds like a strong opponent!"
"Conquer them. It should be a lot of fun!"
Su Chen smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is right. The Maurya Dynasty was indeed very powerful under the rule of King Ashoka. Their population is no less than that of our Huaxia people. According to my survey, the population of the Maurya Dynasty is about 2.65 million. Huge!"
Su Chen has read a lot of ancient books in the city library, so he has a good understanding of the situation of other empires in the world during the Qin Dynasty.
Another point.
This Great Qin world is not the Great Qin in the official history, and mutations have occurred in many places.
For example, the last years of the Qin Dynasty in official history. With the death of the 71-year-old King Ashoka, the Maurya Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but under the modification of the system, the Maurya Dynasty at this time was in its heyday and most powerful period!
"What?!"
"2.65 million people?!"
"Wouldn't that be the same as my Daqin?"
Ying Zheng was shocked, "It's just a barbarian, but the population is so prosperous?"
"Su Qing, what is the combat effectiveness of the Maurya Dynasty army? Have you investigated it?"
Su Chen smiled slightly:
"Of course there was an investigation."
"In the Maurya Dynasty during this period, the country's combat power was about 60,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry..."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled all of a sudden.
"60,000 infantry?"
"Haha! It's really good, it can be compared with Chu and Qi back then..."
Su Chen smiled wryly, "Your Majesty is too happy."
"The country of Magadha has a branch of soldiers called the Elephant Soldiers!"
"'Elephant' was a symbol of strength, longevity and intelligence in ancient India. Indians worshiped elephants so much that they captured and trained a large number of elephant soldiers!"
"The number is close to ten thousand!"
"These war elephants are trained by wild elephants, and they are extremely powerful. No one can stop them when they charge on the battlefield!"
Like soldiers!
When Ying Zheng heard this, his eyes were wide open!
How can you train elephants to fight? Really unheard of, unseen!
Just imagine.
One head is four meters tall. How terrifying is an elephant that is eight meters long and weighs more than 10,000 catties, and is commanded by people on the battlefield? Who can stop it?
Moreover, there are close to 10,000 heads! ! !
This is too scary!
Ying Zheng couldn't help but fell into deep contemplation.
Su Chen smiled again:
"Ha ha!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this, I'm just kidding!"
"I have seen elephant soldiers fighting. Although these big guys are huge, they are very timid and extremely difficult to tame!"
"Several battles have failed to exert their due power. Not only did they fail to disrupt the enemy's formation, but they disrupted their own formation. The reason is that war elephants are easily frightened, so they rush indiscriminately, regardless of whether they are the enemy or ourselves. Harmful."
"In the final analysis, there is nothing to be afraid of, such as elephant soldiers!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to curse!
"Hello Su Qing!"
"How dare you make fun of me, what crime should you deserve!?"
"Hahaha! Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
Su Chen didn't care about Qin Shihuang's threats, and the latter didn't really intend to ask for guilt.
After learning that the elephant soldiers of the Maurya Dynasty were not a threat, Yingzheng felt very comfortable. He was sitting on 800,000 Qin cavalry. There are still 600,000 to 700,000 soldiers from the six countries. Adding up to destroy the Maurya Dynasty, it is not a big problem.
"Your Majesty, all in all, Magadha's fighting power is definitely not as good as our Great Qin!"
"In the event of a real war, as long as the logistics and supplies are perfected, and adequate preparations are made, the Magadha Kingdom will definitely be defeated in one blow!"
"At that time, with their tens of millions of people, they can catch our Great Qin, build roads, dig canals, farm land, herd cattle, and become slaves...Anyway, there are so many of them, if Your Majesty wants to build the Great Wall, he can surround Great Qin Everything works!"
Su Chen smiled.
"Hahaha!"
"So, very good! Very good!"
Yingzheng is very happy!
Fu case laughs!
The previous bad mood because of Zhao Gao and Li Si was swept away at this moment, and the fighting spirit was high!
"Su Qing, let alone this Magadha country, there is still such a large landmass on the map, please tell me something else."
Ying Zheng can't wait to learn about the situation in other countries.
