Throughout the mountain top and the empty valley, there seemed to be only one sound echoing.
Ying Zheng's eyes widened, his breathing became a little rapid, and his heart couldn't help but beat fast. He looked at the world map that Zhao Hao had sketched on the ground, as well as the not very clear world pattern.
His horizons were suddenly opened.
It feels like breaking through the clouds and mist to see the mountains.
I only heard Zhao Hao talking to himself: "Cross the ocean from here to Australia. There are a lot of lobsters there. They are big and meaty and taste very delicious..."
"Oh, by the way, this is North America, and there are a group of indigenous people living there, similar to the Vietnamese..."
"Also, this is Rome and Carthage. They both want to dominate the world..."
"How is it? Do you understand?"
After a detailed explanation, Zhao Hao turned his attention to Ying Zheng again.
I saw them staring at the world map on the ground with disbelief on their faces, speechless for a long time.
After a long while, Ying Zhengcai asked in a deep voice: "Is what my son said true?"
"Of course it's true!"
Zhao Hao said sincerely: "My son, there is no need to lie to my father. If my father doesn't believe me, I can send someone to investigate!"
"Of course." As he spoke, he changed the subject and continued, "The journey here is long and requires crossing the ocean, climbing over mountains, snowfields and grasslands. In just a few decades, it will be difficult to get a glimpse of the whole world!"
Hearing this, Wei Liao asked curiously: "Since the world is so vast, how did the young master know about it?"
I knew you would ask this... Zhao Hao rolled his eyes in his heart, but said calmly: "Have you ever heard of a state captain who can see all the mountains at a glance?"
"Um?"
Wei Liao was stunned on the spot.
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and he couldn't help but murmured, and he suddenly felt goosebumps rising.
Isn't this the state of mind after unifying the six countries?
These majestic and majestic phrases are as if they were tailor-made for me!
Thinking back to the scene when the Six Kingdoms were destroyed, when he climbed up and saw everything, Ying Zheng couldn't help but shout loudly, "What a man who can stand on the top of the mountain and see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance!"
Wei Liao glanced at Ying Zheng and continued to ask: "Master, what you mean is that you have overlooked the entire world from a high place? Or, have you traveled around the entire world?"
"hehe!"
Zhao Hao smiled noncommittally and said, "The world is in my heart, and I am at the center of the world. Do you have any questions, Lieutenant Guo?"
"this...."
Wei Liao was speechless.
He knew that Zhao Hao didn't want to tell him the details, so he turned to look at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Zhao Hao, and he was full of curiosity, but Zhao Hao didn't want to say anything, so he probably had some concerns.
Everyone has secrets. He doesn't want to tell them, and there is no need to force him.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng changed the subject and said, "Listen to what my son just said, are there two countries that want to dominate the world?"
"That's right!"
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "That's Rome and Carthage."
"The territories of these two countries are very vast. Among them, the Roman Republic spans Europe, Asia, and Africa, and is the largest country in the world today!"
"And Carthage is also a powerful country in Africa!"
"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Qiang Guo?"
Zhao Hao said sternly: "Father, don't underestimate these two countries. Although our Great Qin looks at the world and is one of the strongest countries, it is not enough to dominate the world!"
yes!
I, Da Qin, can also dominate the world!
Ying Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and a surge of overwhelming pride suddenly surged into his heart.
Once upon a time, he was so angry that he thought Qin was the most powerful country in the world.
As long as Baiyue is conquered and the Huns are destroyed, Qin will no longer have any rivals.
Now that I think about it, I feel a bit like a frog in a well.
Beyond the Qin Dynasty, there is a vast world with countless countries. If I cannot dominate the world, how can I say that I am as successful as the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors? How can I look down on Shang Tang and Zhou Wu?
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were born in China and ended in China.
Shang, Tang and Zhou Wu unified China and destroyed it.
Do I want to follow their old path?
No!
I must not follow their old path!
I want to dominate the world!
What Rome and what Carthage are worthy of being called a powerful country in front of me?
At this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes seemed to be filled with blazing fire, a fire of desire and ambition.
The fire to conquer the world was ignited in his heart.
Since the unification of the six countries, he hasn't felt this high-spirited for a long time.
Zhao Hao seemed to notice the changes in Ying Zheng and smiled knowingly.
Regardless of whether the Qin Dynasty can conquer the world, as long as the First Emperor remains enterprising, he will not be easily fooled by foreign objects.
For example, the 'elixir of life' or something like that, roll as far as you want.
"call....."
After letting out a breath of turbid air, Ying Zheng's expression returned to normal and he said with a smile: "My son has extraordinary knowledge. Today I opened my father's eyes. It's really good."
"Father, my son is preventing you from conquering Baiyue in the south. In fact, besides not wanting me, the old Qin people, to sacrifice themselves in the south in vain, I also want to recharge your batteries and prepare for conquering the world in the future!"
Zhao Hao said: "As long as you give me Da Qin ten years of development time, I, Da Qin, will definitely have the strength to conquer the world, defeat the Roman Republic, step on Carthage, and reach the top of the world!"
"When the time comes, even if the whole world is our enemy, I, Great Qin, will not be afraid!"
"good!"
Ying Zheng shouted loudly and said excitedly: "What a man who is not afraid of all enemies in the world!"
"Then Father, do you think it's just a land of hundreds of rivers that we still need to put in all the effort?"
"this...."
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at the world map and said with a smile, "Ants and elephants are incomparable!"
Zhao Hao heard this, nodded with a smile, and asked tentatively: "In this case, is the father willing to follow the policy of a son? Seek stability first, and then seek advancement?"
"good!"
The First Emperor was a very far-sighted man, and he naturally understood Zhao Hao's intentions.
Even if Zhao Hao didn't draw the world map, he would still use Zhao Hao's strategy.
However, now that he knew the world was so big, his determination was strengthened.
Seeing that he had finally persuaded the First Emperor to delay his expedition to Baiyue, Zhao Hao felt extremely happy. Being able to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops was very meaningful to him.
He even wondered if the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops had not died in the land of Baiyue.
Then can Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and their like bring harm to the world and destroy Qin?
I guess not!
After Qin unified the six countries, it had millions of elite Qin troops.
Meng Tian's 300,000 elite Qin troops were in northern Xinjiang.
Wang Jian's 600,000 elite Qin troops were in Chu.
There are still 100,000 elite Qin troops scattered in various counties.
These are the foundations of Qin.
However, in the southern expedition to Baiyue, more than 300,000 elite Qin troops died in five years. Later, elite Qin troops were continuously transferred from various parts of the Qin State to garrison in South Vietnam.
Zhao Tuo alone had 500,000 elite Qin troops in his hands.
As a result, Qin's homeland did not have many troops to fight.
This allowed Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and others to take advantage of the situation and use tens of thousands of guerrillas to break into Guanzhong and destroy the Qin Empire that the First Emperor had worked so hard to establish.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but have a flash of chill in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant. Then, he heard Ying Zheng say coldly: "Let's not talk about conquering the world for now. Let's talk about your private departure from the palace first!"
