In BC, looking at the world, the most powerful countries are our Great Qin Empire and the Roman Empire. If two strong forces collided, Mars would definitely hit the earth and could be a complete battle.

However, the most powerful Roman era has not yet arrived. Rome is still ancient Rome, and Qin Shihuang and Caesar cannot meet. Caesar was born in 102 BC, and when he was born, Qin Shihuang had already passed away for 108 years.

If we take a step back, if we turn the Roman Empire from 27 BC to another two hundred years ago, the Roman legion that swept across Europe would be killed and destroyed by the Qin army in seconds. Not to mention the comparison of military strength, the five Qin army beat one Rome, and the chain mail (iron circle connection) that the Roman legion is most proud of will become a real sieve under the sequential attack of thousands of crossbows of the Qin army.

The long-range attack troops of the Roman Legion were spearheaders and archers (the effective range of spearheaders was 50 meters, and the effective range of archers was less than 100 meters), the Qin army's three-stone crossbow range was 200 meters, the four-stone crossbow range was 250 meters, and the ten-stone crossbow range was 600 meters. In other words, the Roman Legion did not even have a chance to take long-range soldiers, let alone close combat.

What's more, the Qin army will not set up a formation to confront you at all, but will fight with the Roman legion that is stereotyped and only then will be willing to fight. It is like a robber breaking into the girls' school where the lights are already turned off.

Although it was difficult to find one of the world's forces that could compete with the Qin Empire during the Qin Shihuang era, since Qin Shihuang asked about this, Li Yang found several empire forces that were capable of being faced by the Qin Empire based on his later memories.

At that moment, Li Yang pointed to India and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there is an empire here called the Mauryan Dynasty. It is said that when the Mauryan Dynasty was the most powerful, there were 30,000 cavalry, 600,000 infantry, and 9,000 war elephants. The infantry also divided into swordsmen, archers, and spearmen. Although their strength is not as strong as our Qin Dynasty, it should not be underestimated."

Although India is not very good now, it has to be admitted that the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India was still very awesome.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in surprise: "It turns out that there is such a powerful empire in this world, right next to my Great Qin."

Everyone was also very surprised because in their previous understanding, the Qin Dynasty was the strongest and highest existence, and the four directions of the Qin Dynasty were all four barbarians, that is, the uncivilized ethnic minorities.

Who would have thought that there would be a powerful empire with hundreds of thousands of troops just west of the Qin Dynasty?

To be honest, in the era of Qin Shihuang, the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India was the only force that could make the Qin Dynasty look at it most.

Li Yang then turned his gaze to the Arab region, his eyes shining slightly. This is the area with the largest oil reserves in later generations. If it could become a territory that has been China since ancient times, there would be nothing richer for later generations than owning this region.

Thinking of this, Li Yang pointed to the Iran region in western Asia and said, "There is also an empire called the Silence Empire, with a total population of about seven or eight million, so there is not too much force, it would be good if it could have 100,000."

Ying Zheng nodded. Obviously, he did not take this rest empire seriously.

Li Yang continued to point to the Greek region and said, "There is a Macedonian Kingdom here, which is not very strong, with a maximum of 40,000 or 50,000 people, which is insignificant."

Li Yang remembers that the biggest thing that Philip V, the king of Macedonia in history, did in his life, was to fight the Battle of Kunoskefare with the Romans. His total strength was 41,000, and the Romans were 40,000 plus twenty elephants.

As a result, Philip V lost and the Kingdom of Macedonia was over.

Therefore, the power of the Macedonian country is only 40,000 to 50,000. For the Qin army at hundreds of thousands, this amount of force will probably be solved with one round of thousands of crossbows. Maybe our army will have zero casualties.

"Is there any?" Ying Zheng was obviously not interested in these small forces.

Li Yang nodded and pointed to the Italian region and said, "There is also an ancient Roman Empire, which is stronger than the Macedonian Kingdom. It is said that at this time, it should be in a long-term battle with the Macedonian Kingdom."

From 215 BC to 168 BC, ancient Rome launched three Macedonian wars, conquered Macedonia and controlled the entire Greece. Through the Syrian war and diplomatic means, it controlled some parts of West Asia and built a great power across Africa, Europe, Asia and dominate the Mediterranean. Therefore, ancient Rome was still the most powerful force in Europe.

Finally, Li Yang pointed to Tunisia opposite ancient Rome (Italy) and said: "There is another kingdom here, called the Carthage Empire, which is about 100,000 troops."

In fact, everyone is familiar with Hannibal, the leader of the Carthage Empire. Hannibal was a person of the same era as Qin Shihuang. This man was known as the four major military commanders of Europe, as Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon, but he had been fighting with the Romans to death. Looking at their battles, he knew that he was not of the same level as Qin Shihuang. At its peak, Hannibal brought 90,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and dozens of war elephants to fight Rome. When he arrived at the battlefield, there were only 20,000 infantry, more than 6,000 cavalry without horses and a war elephant (it was probably eaten by the horses and elephants).

In the Battle of Zama, the Romans killed 36,000 Carthage with a loss of 1,500 losses, and Carthage never recovered from then on. Therefore, even if they were called the four major military commanders in Europe, in Li Yang's view, it was just a round of thousands of crossbows.

Ying Zheng nodded and continued to ask: "What else?"

Li Yang spread his hands: "No more, these five are already heard by me. This is the most powerful empire in the world."

Ying Zheng was stunned: "That's all?"

Li Yang nodded. He really only remembered that these forces were relatively large, while the other ones, such as the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Dynasty, were not worth mentioning. In the eyes of Daqin, he was completely a slag.

Ying Zheng suddenly laughed: "I thought the world was so big, only hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. If they were not separated from the Qin Dynasty, I would have swept these countries together when I unified the six countries ten years ago."

Ying Zheng's words were really not bragging. Thinking about Bai Qi's killing of 400,000 Zhao troops back then, it would be the total force of the next few countries today.

How could Ying Zheng not have the confidence to sweep these "barbarian tribes" with the Qin army that even the six countries can sweep away?

However, the reality is indeed the case. In each "decisive battle that determines fate", the two sides dispatched only tens of thousands of people, and only tens of thousands of people were as high as the sky. Such a small scene is really not qualified to let Qin Shihuang face it.

Meng Tian's eyes were also lit, because at this time he also saw the hope of sweeping the world. Thinking that in the near future, he could really lead the Qin army to penetrate the black flag all over the world. What a great achievement this is?

He was very excited and said, "Your Majesty, listen to the Prime Minister's explanation, today, only the Mauryan Dynasty is the strongest. As long as my Great Qin destroys this country, looking at the whole world, our Qin army will be invincible."

Ying Zheng nodded: "General Meng said very well, but the world is isolated from the sea or mountains. It is not easy to sweep the countries at the moment."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Li Yang said: "Your Majesty has the ambition to unify the world. Unification of the world is only a matter of time. Now, just make a good arrangement and when the time comes in the future, the Qin army can sweep the world."

"Li Yang, do you think about how to make the arrangement?" Ying Zheng smiled.

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said, "The world is divided into seven continents by the sea. If I want to unify the world, for the sake of my plan, I must start building warships to wait for the future to be full of Qin troops and cross the ocean to expedition. Secondly, I will start preparing to go north to destroy the Xiongnu and Donghu, control the grassland, train the herders and horses to wait for the expedition to land. In addition..."

"Please see your Majesty!"

On the globe, Li Yang pointed out the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty in later generations and said: "My Qin still needs to be ill in the west, and the Yi tribes such as Yuezhi can go west, so that the Qin army can go west, expedition to the Ancient Roman Empire and the Macedonian Empire. In this way, the expedition between sea and land will be able to quickly unify the world."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement and found that the land expedition route pointed out by Li Yang was a very good attack on the Ali Empire and even directly advanced into Europe.

Meng Tian, ​​who was standing beside him, said: "The expedition route to the west as the Prime Minister pointed out is indeed feasible, but now the Hetao in the north has entered our Qin territory. It is a bitter and cold place to the north. Is it necessary to rush to fight the Huns?"

Li Yang disagreed and said, "Taiwei, I said the day before yesterday that the Huns are a big problem, and they must be eliminated to ensure peace in the northern grasslands. Otherwise, there will be hidden dangers in the north, and the Qin Dynasty will not be able to go west with all its might. Therefore, the Huns must be destroyed!"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, turned to ask Liu Xi: "Is there any news from Wang Li to the border recently?"

In fact, Ying Zheng no longer regarded the Huns who had been driven to the extremely cold land as an enemy. However, there was a premonition that Li Yang said before. Today, he heard Li Yang's proposal to destroy the Huns again, so he wanted to see Wang Li, who was guarding the border, and what news came recently.

At this time, Liu Xi quickly said, "General Wang Li has just arrived this morning. Your Majesty wants to read it now?"

The emperor nodded: "Cook it."

"Here!" Liu Xi turned around quickly and ran back to the back hall. Soon, he received a memorial.
