Chapter 328: The Mauryan Dynasty

Ying Bu’s worries were not redundant. With this example of a bumper harvest, the Qin generals and officers who were worried about no war were all squeezed out and wanted to enter the navy.

The importance of the navy was not only related to the wealth obtained by robbery, but also to the current situation in the northern border of Qin. After three or four years of rest and recuperation, Qin had eased from the major losses of the war with the Huns. Under the layout of Li Lie, Zhang Huan, two young and pioneering generals, one was full of pioneering spirit, the Qin army had gradually gained dominance in the Western Regions.

At the same time, Yuezhi's vitality has not been able to recover due to years of grassland drought. In addition, the gradual prosperity of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, many small countries have already had the confidence to challenge the big country. Of course, this loose foundation of alliance is still quite fragile, especially when Zhang Huan, who has worked hard to promote alliances, was ambiguous.

For the monarchs of small countries such as Loulan and Khotan, they must not offend Qin, a powerful country in the east, not only because of the strong combat power of the Qin army, but also because the small countries on the Silk Road themselves prospered and developed according to business paths. Once Qin no longer chooses to pass through their territory, decline will inevitably be avoided.

There is no war in the West for the time being, and the decline of the Yuezhi Kingdom is irreversible. Although these tribes on the grassland are unwilling to accept the consequences of surrendering to the Qin Dynasty.

Or maybe, the days when they are truly strong are far from here.

Ying Bu did not miss the opportunity, and he was already in preparation for his next expedition.

The rich rewards brought back by this expedition to the East Islands also offset the concerns between the officials in the North Korean Central Committee about the loss of war. Compared with land combat, although the risks of sea plundering will be great in the middle, once the destination is reached, the rewards will be shocking.

"Haha, isn't it just going to sea? There is nothing in this world that I, Lao Ying, dare not do."

In January of the fourth year of Tianhong of the Qin Dynasty, after half a year of hard work, in the face of the outstanding work ability of the Nanyue Prime Minister Lu Jia, the survey of the charts that were originally difficult and focused, finally had a basic idea. Ying Bu, who had gradually lost his freshness to Yu Se's mysterious body, was also eager for another chance to have an affair.

"Mr. Marquis, to be honest. If you can bring back another strange woman this time, I, Luan Bu, look forward to Mrs. Zun's training skills!"

This time, the infantry general who was partnered with Ying Bu was replaced by Luan Bu. The domestic political situation remained calm with the stability of the Qin regime. For military generals like Luan Bu, going to war was indeed the best way to eliminate the feeling of loss.

January 25th.

Panyu South, seaport.

Five thousand carefully selected officers and soldiers of the Qin Shui Army (maybe to be precise) were sailing to the unknown and mysterious south under the baptism of the two master generals Ying Bu and Luan Bu, led by Fu Ge.

Of course, compared with the conquest of North Korea, Japan, the difficulty of this trip to Southeast Asia is self-evident. In order to avoid various tropical diseases that may be caused during the journey, Fu Ge not only sent out military doctor backbones led by Zheng Anqi, but also carried a large number of herbs to prevent mosquitoes and flies from biting.

"Two generals, the important task of expanding the territory of our Great Qin and raising our Great Qin national prestige will fall on your shoulders. There are difficulties and obstacles ahead. Do you have confidence?"

Fu Ge said he would open his mouth now. This may be because he had been accustomed to being at a high position for a long time. In the previous Military Affairs Council, he had clearly explained to Ying Bu and Luan Bu the purpose of this southern expedition. In addition to occupying the coastal line of the Nanyang Islands and opening up a smooth maritime Silk Road, the more important purpose is to conquer and occupy Vida, and if possible, build several bridgeheads in the southern part of the Shendu Kingdom.

Vida is the former name of Ceylon, which is later Sri Lanka. The ancient nations living here have always followed the path of independent development. The residents of the island often march on simple boats on the Indian Ocean. Their footprints are spread across Southeast Asia, the states in northern India, and even reach the Mesopotamian Plain in the Mesopotamian Basin from afar.

However, in the third century BC, the Vida civilization gradually declined, and he was replaced by the Mauryan Dynasty on the northern Indian Peninsula. Especially during the reign of Ashoka, this dynasty controlled almost most of India, and the magnificent temples and pagodas it built made future generations sigh.

Unfortunately, there will be decline when there is strength. By 200 BC, the prosperity of the Mauryan Dynasty had passed, and this only unified country on the Indian Peninsula was about to face the end of division.

Faced with Fu Ge's aggressive aggression in public, Ying Bu and Luan Bu immediately responded loudly: "I have confidence!"

"Great, my athletes from the Great Qin Kingdom are indeed brave and fearless. After the two generals set off, Fu will lead an elite soldier from Yelang and Dian Kingdom to the south. We will meet on the beach in the south at that time!" Fu Ge smiled and quietly made a promise to the two generals who had been expeditioning with great trust.

This sentence really shocked Ying Bu and Luan Bu, but then they were overjoyed. It seemed that Fu Shuai would make big moves again next.

These soldiers have also gained a place to use their skills.

"It's great that Shuai Fu wants to fight in the south, but how did Shuai Fu know that we will meet on the beach in the south? Could it be that he has the ability to predict the future?"

"Of course, who else can have such ability to be able to dominate the sky except Shuai Fu? He is the star sent by God to my Qin State."

On the sea boat, Ying Bu and Luan Bu were discussing excitedly, but not long after, they looked at the boundless blue sea, and their excitement began to calm down.

The march to the South China Sea by sea is an important part of the Fuge expedition plan, but not all.

After accumulating enough strength, Qin spent nearly four years successfully opening up the ancient road from Bashu, Yelang, and Dian to the Shindu Kingdom. This post road mainly passed through a region controlled by the Piaoren in the south (that is, the Burmese Kingdom in later generations), and then turned to enter the Shindu territory.

To conquer a big country like Zhendu, it is not enough to rely solely on sea routes. Similarly, for Fu Ge, who is eager to obtain an outlet in the Indian Ocean to shorten the distance to march into the west, it is inevitable that he will lead his army to the south to pacify the Piao people who have little ability to resist.

In March of the fourth year of Tianhong, the Qin Dynasty, after the Qin Dynasty's expeditionary navy set off, another expeditionary army was concluded in Shu. This army consisted of 13,000 soldiers, most of which were crossbow soldiers. Although there were not many, they were elite soldiers selected from various Qin troops.

"Ship Fu, this expedition is led by the general. You should stay in Xianyang and wait for news of victory!" Jingqi was flying, and in front of the central army, Li Shiqi, Feng Zheng and other Qin officials were making final persuasion efforts.

Li Shiqi, Feng Zheng and other Qin officials no longer have any objections to the theory of plundering and colonial development advocated by Fu Ge, but they were worried that Fu Ge personally led an army to the expedition. The reason was that they were worried about some accidents he had.

After experiencing the alternation of war and peace, everyone cherished this hard-earned peace, and every Qin official knew that it was only because of one person - Fu Ge.

Once Fu Ge is gone one day, what should they do? What should Qin do?

No one can give a correct answer.

"Haha, stay in Xianyang and let me watch my Qin Jianer fight bloody outside. How can you bear it? Don't worry, with the generals and all the generals protecting me, I will be fine. Maybe in a few months, we can bring some treasures for everyone when the army returns!"

Fu Ge laughed disapprovingly. This time, he had made up his mind, not only because of the surging desire for war, but also because of his concerns about future wars.

After all, he, a latecomer, had more knowledge about the subtropical and tropical climate conditions than these Qin generals, and had clearer judgments and understandings of the dangers he encountered.

Compared with the worries of a group of civil officials, the military generals led by Han Xin were all excited, especially those grassroots, who had just graduated from the military academy, who had blushed and straightened their chests, and the corners of their mouths with childish hair were slightly raised, showing their unique arrogance.

"Hey, I heard that the southern Son Poison Kingdom has a nice name, what is the Mauryan Dynasty? Is that true?"

"Are peacocks just the kind of big bird that can raise their tail feathers? When I was in Xianyang, I heard from merchants from Dian Kingdom mention it, but I have never seen the real one."

"It's not just a peacock, but also a powerful monster in the Poison Country. It's said that it has four thighs as thick as beams and pillars, long noses that are enough to roll up trees, and ears as big as palm-six--!"

Everyone has curiosity, especially when they are about to face a new place, the Qin army soldiers whisper in a low voice, conveying different messages to each other. The young ones want to use this method to dispel their fear of the unknown world. After all, this is their first long journey.
