Chapter 791 Liangzhou has something to do, deploy to the south!
Around the high platform, there are many banners. The strong wind is blowing, the banners are flapping, and Wan Sheng's army is acting as a guard. An astonishing evil spirit permeates the surrounding areas.
When the reading of the kings' memorials ended and the kings of the Western Regions sat down one after another, one of the young men stood up and saluted Ying Gao and said.
"My Che Shi's former country is willing to respect the Prince of Qin as the overlord of the Western Regions and command the northwest!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire high platform was quiet, with only the sound of wind and flags waving. The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, with his eyes split open, looked at the young man on the high platform, and his expression changed drastically.
He knew in his heart that he must not let Ying Gao become the overlord of the Western Region and then command the northwest. Once this happened, the Xiongnu would not even have any power in the northwest.
He even had to look at the face of the Prince of Qin. As the Righteous King of the Xiongnu, he naturally knew the number and combat strength of the army under the Prince of Qin.
"This king......"
Before King Youxian of the Xiongnu could finish his words, he was suppressed by a loud voice: "Our country behind Che Shi is willing to respect the Prince of Qin as the overlord of the Western Region and command the northwest!"
"I, Pishan, would like to respect the Prince of Qin as the overlord of the Western Region and command the northwest!"
"My spirit is absolutely willing to respect the Prince of Qin as the overlord of the Western Region and command the northwest!"
.........
During their trip, they saw Ying Gao's domineering and strong power, as exemplified by King Loulan and the King of Shan Kingdom, especially the knowledge they gained about Liangzhou along the way.
They knew that facing Ying Gao, who had an army of three to four hundred thousand and was stationed in Liangzhou, the entire Western Region was not enough, and behind Ying Gao, there was a powerful Da Qin.
The people present here are not stupid people who can become the king of a country. They naturally know how to maximize their own interests.
Seeing the kings speaking one after another, the Xiongnu Youxian King's mouth showed a trace of bitterness. He knew in his heart that it was over, and the Xiongnu's deployment in the Western Region was over.
"So, I would like to thank all the kings for their love!"
Ying Gao faced the kings and said firmly: "Since the kings wish to respect me as the overlord of the Western Region and command the northwest, I will naturally treat all countries equally."
"If any country is in trouble, I will take action on my own!"
After saying that, Ying Gao smiled brightly at the kings, then stretched out his hand and said: "I have prepared a banquet, please invite the kings -!"
"Prince of Great Qin please——!"
From this moment on, no one dared to ignore Ying Gao or underestimate this young man who always had a smile on his face.
At the dinner party, the person receiving the reception was not Ying Gao, but Ma Xing. As the governor of Liangzhou, he would be the person who had the most contact with the kings of the Western Regions. At the banquet, some cooperation was discussed, and both parties were very satisfied.
At this point, the peace in the northwest and the Silk Road that Ying Gao was committed to creating have completed the closed loop. In this way, the entire Liangzhou will reap the dividends of the Silk Road.
In the next few decades, Liangzhou will be one of the richest places in the Qin Empire, enough for Ying Gao to support hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.
And this is also the foundation for Ying Gao's future western expedition. If he has the support of the Silk Road, he will not even need the food and grass provided by the Qin court, and he can use the power of Liangzhou to conquer the west.
In this way, with the Silk Road and war and plunder supporting each other, Liangzhou will not be able to control whether it is rich or not in the future.
…
In the study, Ying Gao looked solemn. He did not participate in the dinner with the kings. It was not because he was not good at expressing himself, but because Master Sima had arrived.
In Ying Gao's view, Sima Shi was much more important than the kings of the Western Regions.
"My subordinate, Master Sima, has met General Ying!" Entering the study, Master Sima, with a dusty face, quickly saluted Ying Gao.
Under Ying Gao, although he has always emphasized that these false etiquettes are not necessary and can be reduced, the generals under his command cannot find fault with the etiquette at all.
"sit!"
With a wave of his hand, Ying Gao signaled Sima Shi to sit down, and then said to Sima Shi: "Pour yourself some tea, and then give me a detailed explanation of the situation south of Bashu and the situation above the extreme south."
"promise."
After pouring himself a cup of tea, Master Sima took a few sips, moistened his throat, sorted out the news in his mind, then raised his hand towards Ying Gaoyi and said.
"General Ying, in the south of Bashu, there are Yelang, Dian, Kunming, Qielan, Gouding, Dianyue, Qiondu and other countries. The forces are complex, and the road leads to the south..."
Glancing at Master Sima, Ying Gao looked solemn: "The Dian Kingdom was founded by the Chu people?"
"General Ying, Chu State sent Chu General Zhuang Qiao to lead a team to the Dianchi Lake area. After conquering the locals, his return route was cut off by our Qin Dynasty, so he stayed in the Dianchi Lake area and established the Dian Kingdom. Its territory was mainly in the Dianchi Lake area.
the central and eastern regions of the centre.”
Hearing this, Ying Gao nodded slightly. He had some understanding of the history of the Dian Kingdom, and he also knew that during the pre-Qin period, the area south of Bashu was a famous place for horse taming.
There are mainly Ailao, Kunming, and Yunnan ethnic groups.
Zhuang Qi, the general of Chu State, entered the Dianchi Lake area and established the Dian Kingdom. At this time, there were many ethnic groups in the south of Bashu, and their economic forms included farming and nomadic herding, with varying levels of development.
Historically, after the Qin Dynasty unified China, the First Emperor ordered the construction of a five-foot road and appointed officials to the south of Bashu, marking the beginning of the Central Dynasty's formal rule over the area.
However, this life will be much earlier, and below the south of Bashu is the extreme south.
That is to say, the Indochina Peninsula and other places in later generations were also the targets of Yinggao's conquest.
Nodding, Ying Gao looked at Sima Shi and others with admiration. After all, being able to know this showed that Jingyesi had done a great job.
It is not that we know nothing about the south of Bashu.
"Give the general a copy of the detailed information and the map!" Ying Gao took a sip of tea and gave instructions to Master Sima, "At the same time, I ordered Jingyesi to contact General Meng Tian to make arrangements for the army to go south.
Get ready."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Master Sima turned and left, leaving a volume of silk book on the long case.
Watching Sima Shi leave, Ying Gao raised his lips. This time going south will not only conquer the extreme south, but will also greatly increase the strength of his army.
Because he and Ying Zheng have reached an agreement, there is a batch of military supplies above Bashu, and as long as the servant army goes south, and the Long Live Army can change their uniforms.
These two armies are actually not weak. What really affects their combat effectiveness is their equipment, not training and discipline.
Maybe their records were loose and their training was insufficient before, but since they came under the Ying Ziwang Banner, their training and discipline have long been on par with the Python Army.
As long as he changes his clothes, with Great Qin's sophisticated equipment and the combat power of the Long Live Army and the Servant Army, he will become a demon sweeping the far south.
This move south will be the time when the servant army shows its strength. It is also the beginning of Yinggao truly becoming a force, no less than any country in the Central Plains.
