Although the dynasty was not very familiar with the Cypriot language and the Bactrian language, they could only communicate through translators.
but……
He could still understand some special words.
For example, specific words such as prince and king are even more sensitive.
"There are actually people from Kangju hanging around here?" Wang Chao laughed in his heart.
In the past ten days in Daxia, the dynasty has learned that Annabi did not lie to him back then.
Today's Kangju State is indeed pro-Xiongnu.
As for why?
The answer is somewhat unexpected.
First of all, the Kangju people worship and believe in a religion called Zoroastrianism. This religion advocates that there are good gods and evil gods fighting each other in the world.
The Huns beat the Kangju people particularly hard.
Therefore, the Kangju people believed that the Huns were the incarnation of evil gods.
Worshiping gods or devils is not unusual for Yi and Di people.
Secondly, the lifeblood of the Kangju people lies in the hands of the Huns!
For a long time, the Kangju Kingdom relied on importing silk from the Xiongnu for profit.
For the Kangju people, the silk and spice trade was their country's largest source of commerce.
By working as a second-rate dealer, Kangju has achieved his current national strength.
only……
"People in Kangju probably don't know that this silk is produced in China..."
This trip to the west sharpened the dynasty a lot and established his three views.
Along the way, he saw the situation of countless kingdoms and nations, met the most extravagant kings, met the most generous nobles, encountered despicable businessmen, and traveled with the most enthusiastic tribes.
And among these tribes and kingdoms, even if he has gone so far, he has never seen a second country that can be on par with China or is qualified to be on par with China in terms of civilization.
This made Wang Chao start to have an idea in his heart.
This idea has finally taken shape now.
"In the whole world, China is the only one that is special, and China is the exception!" Wang Chao thought in his heart: "It's because the Yi and Di have kings as compared to the Xia without them!"
When he thought about it, his whole world suddenly became clear.
China must be special to have such a level of civilization and system, and China must be an exception to have such figures and sages!
After thinking about this, looking at Prince Kangju, a smile appeared on the corners of Wang Chao's lips.
During the Warring States Period, what were the strategists best at?
The answer is undoubtedly brainwashing.
Su Qin, Zhang Yi, I don’t know how many kings and nobles have been purged.
But now, it should be simple for him to wash the mind of a Yi Di prince.
So, he calmly walked forward and said to the Prince Kangju: "Your Highness, do you know that there is a folk proverb in our country that says: When the emperor is angry, blood will flow into the oars, and millions of corpses will be buried?"
Under his instruction, the translator accurately informed the other party of his meaning.
"The emperor was angry. He shed enough blood to row a boat, and there were a million corpses lying on the ground?" Both Prince Kangju and others were shocked!
one million???
The population of such a number, whether it is Yueshi, Daxia or Kangju, is an astronomical figure.
You know, even the most populous Kingdom of Daxia, the so-called Bactria, has only a million civilians and nobles combined...
Of course, slaves are not humans, they are tools.
As for Kangju, there are about 300,000 and 400,000 men.
The Yueshi were the worst. The total number of Yueshi's five lords was only a few hundred thousand.
This is the result of the Yuezhi people recuperating and working hard to give birth after settling in the Amu Darya River.
You must know that at the beginning, there were only 60,000 to 70,000 Yuezhi people who fled to the Amu Darya River.
On the other hand, the Indian continent has a large population.
But is it useful?
Even if the Indian army is tens of thousands, it only needs a few hundred warriors to defeat it!
Today, for example, Bactria already nominally rules the vast northern Indian region.
It's just that nowadays, the nobles and lords in those places are no longer very impressive.
Therefore, for these people, the death of one million people is really unimaginable!
Even if it's bragging, it's a bit too much.
However, Wang Chao held his head high and said, "Your Highness, do you know how many households I, a big man, have?"
He stretched out seven fingers and shook them: "More than seven million households, nearly 50 million people!"
This is Yuande’s four-year data. Now, it has increased by at least three million!
There is no way, the state encourages childbirth, and the control power at the grassroots level continues to increase. Especially after the appointment of retired soldiers as pavilion chiefs, and after the reform, the imperial court's influence and penetration into the pavilions below have greatly increased.
The ability to mobilize grassroots resources has also been correspondingly enhanced.
Today, the Han Dynasty may still have hidden households in the south, but in the vast north, it can be said that it has almost completely realized the system of household registration and equalization of the people.
Demographic efficiency has also been enhanced. Basically, all children over eight years old, regardless of age, have been registered.
Such strong grassroots organizational capabilities have greatly increased the country's mobilization efficiency and resource utilization efficiency.
Now, Dynasty is using this data to scare people.
The effect is natural and wonderful!
"By Zeus..." Eucratides II took a deep breath: "Fifty million people..."
"I don't know if there are so many people in the whole world..." Qiu Mimi, the chief minister of Guishan, swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"Is this... real?" Even Prince Kang Ju was frightened.
The monks among the nobles and the Zoroastrian priests on both sides were even more relaxed and happy.
A country of fifty million people?
The World Honored One is above/the good God appears!
Many people are ready to go to China in the East to teach the Dharma at all costs.
Everyone knows that as long as you can win over one percent of the country's people to believe in your own sect, you can immediately enjoy all honors and praises!
You can even become a Buddha directly!
"I am a big man with a million soldiers, and I am the tiger who dominates the world. The Xiongnu Jizhou clan is nothing more than a chicken and a dog!" The dynasty said proudly.
However, the people of Daxia, Kangju and Yuezhi were obviously frightened, and they were submissive and did not even dare to raise their heads.
Although they suspected that Dynasty was bragging.
But for this kind of thing, now I can only watch him show off.
The reason is very simple. One thing is certain that China in the East did defeat the Huns!
The Huns are already so terrifying, how terrifying will China be if they can defeat them?
It's like if you drive a Maserati out to pick up girls, no matter how you show off in front of the girl, the girl will only have stars in her eyes and want to climb into your bed at night.
But if you just ride a bad electric car, even if you are a second-generation rich man with a fortune, someone still has to believe you!
Even Prince Kangju was agitated at this moment, mainly because his father was getting old and the competition among his sons was very obvious.
This is also the tradition of the Central Asian kingdoms. When every old king is about to die, his sons will not be willing to watch other sons ascend to power.
In Kangju, it was because of Zoroastrianism.
The sons of the Kangju people seized the legitimate sons, and the killing became more obvious.
There was even a history of killing all the brothers when a prince came to the throne.
This prince ran around looking for foreign help just because he had little power at home.
At this moment, seeing Wang Dynasty pretending to be cool while others could only watch or even bow their heads, he naturally had an idea and wanted to pull Wang Dynasty into a tiger skin to intimidate and intimidate his brothers.
So, he asked: "Since the envoy is so confident, then your country must be the most powerful country in the world!"
After hearing what the translator said, Wang Chao smiled casually and replied unceremoniously: "This is the nature of things! Since ancient times, our country has been the sky, the country above. The poem goes: Is it the king's land in the whole world, who leads the land?
Isn’t this a royal minister?”
He glanced at Qiu Mimi, the chief minister of Guishuang, and said: "If you don't believe it, prince, you can ask the chief minister and you will know for yourself that the emperor of our country is the supreme ruler of the world. In the past, Yuezhi said: Kun, once received
The title of Emperor Zhou of our country!"
When Qiu Mimi heard this, he immediately became angry.
But, on second thought, what’s the big deal?
At the beginning, when the Yuezhi people were beaten by the Huns and cried for their fathers and mothers, they also thought about sending envoys to the Han Dynasty to ask for help, and even thought about being the lackeys of the Han Dynasty. Anyway, the Han Dynasty was too far away from here.
People from the Han Dynasty didn’t have wings either. From the Han Dynasty to here, it was at least tens of thousands of miles!
Therefore, Qiu Mimi immediately said: "This is indeed true! Moreover, my king has always been thinking about our old sect, and he often teaches us: If we meet the envoys of the country, we should treat them with courtesy!"
With that said, Qiu Mimi performed the etiquette for a subordinate meeting his superior towards the emperor.
Anyway, it’s just a soft acceptance, what’s the loss?
For the Yuezhi people, now, how to hold off the Huns and prevent them from causing trouble is the right thing to do!
The emperor also accepted Qiu Mimi's courtesy calmly.
This scene, in the eyes of Eucratides II and Prince Nakanju, immediately confirmed the dynasty's words.
This China, this Han Dynasty, is not fake awesome, but really awesome!
The two people's hearts immediately became heated.
Although the Han Dynasty was too far away from here, no matter how strong the army was, it could not affect this place.
But, after all, this is a big country that even a powerful country like the Yuezhi must bow its head to, the Shangguo.
Its influence and power should be extremely strong.
Apart from other things, if you can please the Han Dynasty, then at the critical moment, you may be able to take the Han Dynasty's tiger skin to scare the enemy!
As a result, in the next two days, the Dynasty and other members of the mission became popular.
Countless people flattered me and said all kinds of good things.
Even beauties, gold, and all kinds of delicacies came in turn.
But Dynasty did not get lost in the sugar-coated bullets. He was very clear about the mission of his trip.
In these days, while dealing with the nobles of Daxia, Kangju, and Yuezhi, he also quietly interacted with Oktilades II, Kushan Xihou Qiu Mimi, and even Prince Kangju.
After going back and forth, by understanding each other's personalities, Dynasty finally succeeded in getting the map he wanted!
This map of Daxia, Kangju and Yuezhi!
Although it is only a rough map, it only slightly depicts the trend of local mountains and rivers.
But it's still precious.
In particular, this map directly marks the road from Daxia to Shendu as well as some important towns in Shendu Country.
Looking at this picture, Dynasty knew that half of his mission had been completed!
The next step is how to return to China and return to Chang'an to resume his life.
"If I can return to the capital safely, I will become a prince!" The emperor was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
