Chapter 212 The Numb Foreign Envoy
King Wusun on the side also broke out in a cold sweat at this moment.
Obviously frightened.
Before coming here, although I had heard about the horror of Daqin.
But what he heard was false after all, King Wusun didn't have a concept of how powerful Da Qin was.
He even comforted himself occasionally, thinking that although Daqin destroyed the Xiongnu and Donghu, he must have suffered heavy losses.
The reason why they have not attacked Wusun may be that they have been unable to continue to expand outward.
But it wasn't until he entered the territory of the Great Qin that King Wusun realized how ridiculous his idea was.
The bustling city of Xianyang made Wusun King dumbfounded.
Among other things, just traveling thousands of miles, the incomparably solid road surface can reveal the terrifying background of Daqin.
What shocked King Wusun even more was that the Daqin people were able to open up a grand canal that was thousands of miles long.
With such strength, how can it be powerless to fight abroad.
People simply disdain Wusun Kingdom, they look down on it.
"This Great Qin is indeed a kingdom of heaven, and its national strength is far inferior to that of Kucha!"
Just when King Wusun was shocked, King Kucha beside him sighed with emotion.
"Let's not talk about your little Kucha, even if the 36 countries in the city are combined, they are not as prosperous as the big Qin city of Xianyang.
Let's think about how to please Da Qin, and try to get more caravans from Qin! "
"That's right, our cities and kingdoms are always attached to whoever is strong.
This Great Qin is so powerful, it is not shameful for us and other countries to pay tribute to Great Qin. "
The kings of all the small countries sighed with emotion.
Since ancient times, if a small country like theirs wants to survive, it must have a backing.
Before, their backers were grassland people such as the Xiongnu, Donghu and Da Yuezhi.
These three forces were wiped out, and if they wanted to survive, they could only choose the more powerful state of Qin.
Compared with those tyrannical prairie people, surrendering to the Great Qin can at least gain the real benefit of trade.
"This Great Qin soldier is indeed a lion in the world!"
Seeing the heavily armed and murderous Great Qin Cavalry patrolling around the river, Seleucus IV sighed with emotion.
Before, the prosperity of Daqin showed the world its heritage.
But now, these Daqin iron cavalry wearing black armor made all the foreign envoys feel awe.
Just looking at its momentum, Seleucus IV knew that this black armored cavalry could definitely beat the Romans.
Thinking of this, Seleucus couldn't help feeling a little proud.
Because asking Daqin for help was the result of his efforts to overcome all opinions.
Now it seems that his choice is indeed correct.
Those courtiers who oppose him in the country are all frogs at the bottom of a well who have never seen the world.
Not much else to say, just the Da Yuezhi cavalry, if they can reach Seleucus, they will be able to defeat the Romans steadily.
Wouldn't it be easy to recover the lost land of Seleucus by then?
"Listen to me, everyone must not conflict with the people of Qin. We must win the support of Daqin. For this reason, this prince will do whatever it takes."
With fiery eyes in his eyes, Seleucus IV gave instructions to the envoys who followed him.
All the messengers also nodded in agreement.
Now all of them know that compared with the mighty Great Qin Empire, the Romans are not even scum.
They are more willing to pay a high price and teach the Romans a painful lesson than ruining the country.
It's a pity that they didn't know, whether it was the crown prince Ying Yu or the emperor Ying Zheng.
What they want is to conquer the world, and Seleucus is no exception.
When they actually arrived at their destination, the group of foreigners were shocked again.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge monster with a length of twenty or thirty feet, a width of seven or eight feet, and a height of more than ten feet.
This is a boat?
Seeing the five-tooth warship with a full five-story ship building, the envoys from various countries were stunned.
Once such a huge warship appeared on the water, it would definitely crush other ships.
In naval battles, the tonnage of warships has always been king.
A huge battleship means that its hull is stronger enough to crush a small boat directly.
What's more, there are densely packed bed crossbows on both sides of this huge ship, as well as equipment that Seleucus IV and others don't know.
What shocked them most was that there was more than one such huge warship.
But a whole row.
"One, two, three..."
"My God, just for these five-story giant ships, there are a total of five!"
"There are smaller ships behind, at least a dozen or so!"
A group of foreign envoys exclaimed after being stunned.
"What do you know, this is a battleship, do you understand the battleship?"
"I, Seleucus, is saved, such a huge warship is enough to crush the Roman navy!"
At this moment, Seleucus IV was so excited that he shed tears.
I thought that Daqin was only dominating on land, but I didn't expect that it was also invincible in water battles.
Among other things, the twenty or so ships in front of me can be organized into a huge fleet.
As long as Da Qin is willing to send troops to help and use this fleet to cut off the supplies of the Romans, the Roman army that came across the sea will fall into a situation of no support.
At that time, their Seleucids will definitely wipe out the invading Romans.
"How strong is the national power of Great Qin?"
A group of foreign envoys were also stunned by the blow.
The more they learned, the wider the gap between them and Daqin.
With such a huge warship, it seems that the news that Daqin is going to open the sea is true.
A group of kings with coastlines in their lands immediately began to calculate.
They all thought that no matter what price they paid, they must attract Daqin's fleet to their own country.
You must know that Daqin's goods are all in high demand these days.
And it is unique, no other country has it at all.
Every time the Great Qin caravan arrives, the items it carries can cause the nobles of these countries to rush to buy them frantically.
In fact, the goods sold by these Qin merchants are too attractive.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, because of the long distance, Qin merchants did not carry much goods.
But if he can sign a maritime trade agreement with Daqin, all this will change.
They can come to Daqin to buy goods by sea transportation, and go back to sell them.
All the envoys of foreign kings and envoys were taken aback by the benefits that could be obtained.
However, Da Qin is not a fool, and it is impossible to agree to maritime trade so easily.
Therefore, many foreign envoys have already thought about what price they have to pay to impress His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin, or the prince.
