(Keeping everyone waiting, my mother is recovering well after surgery at Changzheng Hospital! Will update again from today)

Time flies. More than 2,000 years ago, the Hu Shang camel caravans traveling on the Silk Road braved the huge risk of being robbed and killed, traveling between the vast desert wilderness of Congling, Tianshan and Hexi.

For Western merchants who traveled thousands of miles to the East to seek wealth, the mysterious East was the most attractive place. The fertile Qin State not only represented great power, but also represented endless rare treasures that made them salivate. These

After being resold through layers of the Silk Road, Eastern treasures became hard to find in Western countries such as Rome.

It was against this background that along the Silk Road that started from Chang'an, passed through Hexi, the Western Regions, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, Congling, and then to Wusun, Parthia, Sassanid, and Rome, there was an endless stream of Western caravans.

Among them, there were not only merchants from various small countries in the Western Regions, but also white people from as far away as Parthia and even from Rome.

Yellow sand rolls around.

Hujia’s voice is desolate.

As we head westward, we see increasingly desolate places. Even if there are one or two oases dotted in the desert, they are nothing more than a few earthen walls and dozens of temporary campsites with tents. This situation has continued until

After passing Congling and reaching the Alahai Basin, things started to gradually improve.

Traveling between desolate deserts and oases is a life adventure for Bank of China, who has just turned 30. There are always many differences between Eastern and Western civilizations, and a foreigner wants to

One can imagine how difficult it is to integrate into another civilization.

Bank of China said that this flight to the west was extremely panic-stricken. The complete defeat of the Huns gave Bank of China the clearest understanding of the power of Qin. After looking at the various tribes on the northern grasslands, he would no longer

I don’t think any tribe can compete with the powerful Qin.

The thirty-six city-states on the road to the Western Region are obviously not the target of Bank of China. If he wants to escape or take revenge, he must escape further and travel to foreign countries to find another powerful and vast country.

rest in peace.

In the history of the world, it was called Parthia, but in ancient Chinese literature, it was mostly called Parthia. The Bank of China said that the group of Hu merchants following it was a caravan from Parthia. The Parthians were also called "Whites"

"Huns", this is because the Central Plains area is not familiar with the Hu people in various parts of the Western Regions. In fact, the Parthians and the Huns are two different ethnic groups and have no connection with each other.

The Parthian people came all the way to the Qin State. The main material trafficking was blankets and Western artifacts. Due to the decline of the Persian dynasty, Parthia, which gradually became stronger, has become an important country on the Silk Road of the Western Regions. However, all goods from the Western Qin Dynasty to the Mediterranean

Supplies shipped from this area must pass through Xi'an and then be transferred to Daqin.

The Silk Road that existed in ancient documents was actually formed by a series of relay caravans. There were almost no merchants who actually ventured from Europe to the Qin State. They generally transported goods to the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia.

, and then transported to Parthia by the Persians. Then they were transported to the East through the Parthians.

The resting royal capital of Fandou City is located on the edge of the Caspian Sea. The yellow earthen walls, the cow and horse dung that can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the scary foreigners with golden curly hair and pale skin make Bank of China feel lonely and helpless.

Feeling of loss.

However, this completely different foreign customs, as well as the tall Parthian soldiers who were rude and barbaric, also made Zhongxing Shuo from the East feel a little excited. Just like the Huns, Zhongxing Shuo secretly swore an oath.

He used his words to win the trust of Parthian King Phryapateus.

ten years.

In the blink of an eye.

For the people who had finally looked forward to peace, peace was hard-won. Although small-scale wars still occurred on the border between the south and the north, they were no longer a concern for the entire Qin State.

August, the eleventh year of the Qin and Xin calendar years.

Annan area.

The small-scale unrest caused by the rebel general Lu Tai of the South Vietnam Kingdom was finally quelled. Lu Tai's thousands of troops gradually exhausted their vitality in the confrontation with the Annan tribe. Later, Qin general Feng Xuan led his army to attack Annan City, and Lu Tai died.

In the rebellious army, the last remnants of the South Vietnamese Kingdom disappeared into thin air.

In September, Feng Xuan's army continued to attack southward. King Annan, Annan Princess An Meizhu and others were all captured. The Annan royal family was then escorted to Chang'an as hostages. The Qin army's southward momentum finally stopped at the mouth of the Mekong River.

In the north.

Small-scale wars between the Sujiao cavalry and the Helian tribe in the Hanhai area also continued for several years. In the end, the Helian tribe, under the pressure of the Qin army's comprehensive strength, had to abandon the Hannan River Basin and retreat to Beihai.

In the vast virgin coniferous forest to the north.

After ten years of fighting, the New Qin forces under the leadership of Li Yuan not only unified the thirty-six counties of the First Emperor, but also expanded their sphere of influence to the Indochina Peninsula in the south, Mobei in the far north, and the Korean Peninsula in Liaodong in the east.

With the Western Regions, Qin truly became an iconic power in the east of the Eurasian continent.

Chang'an.

The plateau meadows around Leyouyuan no longer exist. In their place, there are emerging towns one after another. These small towns that exist attached to the capital are like the morning stars guarding the constellations, continuously providing Chang'an with

With fresh blood.

Among these small towns, Fufeng is a very important one.

Its importance is not only because it is located at the west end of the Zhengguo Canal, but also because to the south is the Taibai Mountain, the highest peak in the Qinling Mountains. This high mountain is covered with snow all year round. Looking up from a distance, it looks majestic. Among the high mountains, there are many

The deep valley has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and is loved by some hermits.

On this day, Li Yuan, who had been the emperor of the New Qin Kingdom for three years, left Chang'an and headed towards the depths of Taibai Mountain in Fufeng.

With the unification of the Qin State, the Qinling Mountains, a barrier in the pass, also became the holy mountain of the Qin State, and Taibai Mountain became the place for the New Qin Heavenly Sacrifice because of the steepness and majesty of its main peak.

Accompanying Li Yuan to worship heaven, there were also several important officials in the court. What is incredible is that among them were not only his old relatives who had followed Li Yuan in the war, but also former officials like Xiao He and Zhou Yin.

Han, a descendant of the former Chu.

It has been five years since Xiao He returned to Qin. In the first three years, his official position was only promoted from county magistrate to county minister of a county. In the next two years, due to his outstanding political achievements, Xiao He was recommended to Chang'an. Now he

He has become the chief agricultural officer in charge of the grain supply and agricultural affairs of the entire Qin State.

The situation of Zhou Yin is not much different. This former great Sima of the Western Chu Kingdom has now left the military and entered the court as an official to assist the prime minister Chen Ping. This time Li Yuan offered sacrifices to heaven, and Chen Ping, as the prime minister, could not come.
