Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 113 Is this all there is in Great Qin? !

Of course he knows that the world is vast and boundless!
  Just if you go deep into the west of Daqin, very few people can come back alive!

Zu Long just always thought that it was dangerous there.

"As ordered." Qin Chi cupped his hands and continued to introduce, "Your Majesty, please take a look..."

"From west to east, there are several great dynasties and empires along the Mediterranean coast. Let's first look at this place. This is the Roman Empire, located in the west of the Mediterranean. It was once the overlord of the Mediterranean region. They had strong military power and a prosperous economy."

Rome……

Zu Long and Li Si frowned.

"How come this country...is named after horses?" Li Si murmured.

Qin Chi couldn't help but smile. This was translated. Of course, he didn't explain much because even Li Si couldn't understand it.

Zulong, on the other hand, was very curious, his eyes flashed, and he looked eager to try.

"Your Majesty, this Roman Empire originated from the ancient Roman city. After hundreds of years of conquest and expansion, it finally emerged in the Mediterranean region. At this time, they are just like the countries that dominated the Kyushu when I had many princes. However, Rome was ideally located in the center of the Mediterranean for maritime trade.”

"They are good at doing business and attract businessmen and envoys from all over the world..."

Zu Long interrupted Qin Chi's introduction and asked in a deep voice: "I ask you, how is Rome's combat strength? How is its army?"

He only cares about the military power of Rome!
  Don't care about the rest!

Qin Chi thought about it and admired Zulong's neatness!

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, they can dominate the Mediterranean. They are naturally very strong. They have well-trained and disciplined infantry, cavalry and navy, as well as sophisticated equipment. They are famous for their strict discipline and excellent tactics. Their phalanx tactics , making the Roman army almost invincible on the battlefield in the West."

Phalanx tactics?

Li Si sneered: "What kind of phalanx tactics are vulnerable to our Qin formation!"

Zulong's eyes narrowed slightly, the emperor's power was vast and his majesty was extraordinary.

In this regard, the First Emperor was still very confident.

Qin Chi smiled and said: "This is natural. Our Great Qin army is well-equipped, tightly deployed, quickly organized, and blessed with military skills. Naturally, it cannot be matched by these Romans."

"But Your Majesty, this Rome, in the imperial era alone, unified the Mediterranean in later generations, and lasted for more than 1,400 years!"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng and Li Si were both shocked.

The two pupils narrowed slightly and looked at Qin Chi.

One thousand...more than four hundred years?
  "How is this possible?" Li Si was shocked.

Even the ancient Zhou Dynasty was only over eight hundred years old.

How long did the war last? The princes are conquering and the people are suffering unspeakably!

Therefore, His Majesty wants to unify the world and end these hundreds of years of war!
  Zulong frowned, looking shocked, and asked: "How did they manage to maintain an empire for such a long time? Is it the same as the ancient Zhou Dynasty?"

As soon as these words came out, Zu Long couldn't help but feel worried.

If it is really because of enfeoffment that the dynasty can be sustained for a long time...

Then he will really doubt himself and whether the path Da Qin is taking is correct.

However, if it is really enfeoffed, it cannot be called an empire.

Zulong was uneasy, it was hard to imagine that there was a great empire in this world that could last for more than a thousand years!
  It’s really shocking!
  Although Zu Long always believed that the Great Qin could last for eternity, he had been worried about his descendants from a very early stage!
  I'm afraid that the kings of future generations will not be able to govern the Great Qin Dynasty!

How can it last forever?

But thousands of miles away in the west, there is such a country that can last for more than a thousand years!
  His Great Qin... died in his second generation...

Zu Long couldn't help but feel resentful and quite dissatisfied!

When Qin Chi saw this, he was also stunned. He didn't expect that Old Zhao would be unwilling... The look in his eyes was already very obvious.

"Your Majesty, these more than a thousand years only refer to the era of the Roman Empire. Before that, Rome also experienced two major eras. It developed from a city to a kingdom, and was ruled by six kings. This is the era of kings. !”

"Then Rome abolished the absolute monarchy and became a republic!"

As soon as these words came out, both Zulong and Li Si were surprised.

In fact, there are records of "Gonghe" in Chinese historical materials. At that time, King Zhou Li fled to Zhi, the prince hid quietly in Zhao Gong's house, and Gongbohe took charge of the king's affairs, which was called "Gonghe".

But another theory is that after the Chinese people rioted, the two prime ministers Zhou Dinggong and Zhao Mu Gong jointly administered the government, so it was also called the "Zhou Zhao Republic".

Therefore, Zulong and Li Si can naturally understand the meaning of this sentence, and Qin Chi does not need any further explanation.

"Qin Chi, please tell me carefully about the republican system of Rome!" Zulong asked.

Qin Chi accepted the promise and bowed down: "Your Majesty, the republic of Rome is governed by the Senate, the Consuls and the Tribal Council. Its members are all served by the nobles and wealthy families of Rome. The members of the Senate are all The sons of wealthy families are responsible for formulating policies and managing administration. The people have the right to express opinions and vote on political and legal matters, and elect consuls to take charge of various affairs. The Senate appoints dictators to deal with various emergencies. wait……"

Zulong fell into deep thought, his temperament condensed. Could it be that the system of the Republic was the key to allowing Rome to last for thousands of years?

Compared with the Qin system, the Roman system was indeed very different.

Even Li Si on the side was lost in thought. "Your Majesty, this system seems to have no problems at first glance, but in fact, it has many loopholes. It is not as inclusive as our system in Great Qin, which is inclusive of everything and has strict laws."

Zu Long put his hands behind his back and nodded after hearing Li Si's explanation.

This is true.

The Qin system was more complete, but the Roman system lagged far behind...

"What happens next?" Ying Zheng looked at Qin Chi and continued to ask.

Qin Chi also highly recognized Li Si's words, nodded and said: "In the Republic era, Rome experienced many wars, so it dominated the Mediterranean! In these two eras, Rome lasted for more than seven hundred years."

"In the late Republican era, a Roman military commander emerged from nowhere. His name was Caesar! He conquered Gaul, Britain and other places for Rome. His extraordinary military talent allowed Rome to expand its territory to an unprecedented extent. .”

While talking, Qin Chi searched for the corresponding area on the map with his hands and showed it to Zulong.

"After that, Caesar was assassinated and Rome was in civil strife. After his nephew Octavian came to power, he quickly put it down. He successively obtained the titles of consul, tribune, high priest, etc., and then proclaimed himself emperor! This was the Roman Empire. The first emperor!"

When Zulong heard this, his mind became extremely calm...

Another emperor!
  "Any more?"

The First Emperor put his hands behind his back and clenched them tightly into fists, his heart was very surging!
  Qin Chi also nodded and continued the introduction...

"Your Majesty, this is Carthage. It was once a powerful city-state in North Africa. It competed with Rome for dominance in the Mediterranean for many years. Although they were ultimately defeated by Rome, their navigation skills are talked about by others..."

"And in this area are the Greek city-states that I mentioned before. Along the northeastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, such as Athens and Sparta, these city-states created a splendid culture in the classical period, which is almost comparable to that of the Qin Dynasty. A hundred families will shine brightly in the world!"

"This is the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt, located in the southeast of the Mediterranean Sea. It inherited the civilizational heritage of ancient Egypt. They built the Library of Alexandria..."

"There are also Phoenicians, a seafaring people... and these countries in Asia Minor, such as Lydia, Pergamon, etc., located in the eastern part of the Mediterranean..."

……

As Qin Chi continued to introduce.

Ying Zheng's eyes were like deep stars, shining with sharp light. He stared closely at the world map in Qin Chi's hand, as if he wanted to see through it the eternal secret.

My heart was filled with shock. Because of Qin Chi, I saw the vast world. It was vast and boundless, and there was a lot to do!

So many countries, so many ethnic groups, vast cultures, unlimited wealth!

I, Da Qin, am still huddled in this corner, feeling complacent...

As everyone knows, in the west, there are some empires and dynasties with vast territories and unprecedented strength.

A Rome lasted for more than two thousand years and experienced three great eras.

Macedonia and Peacock were all powerful empires and dynasties.

"Is this... is this all true?" In the end, Qin Chi listed all the countries and worlds in detail, which made the First Emperor unbelievable, and there was a hint of shock in his tone.

I originally thought that those places were all foreign lands and barbarians.

Unexpectedly, there are so many people and ethnic groups, countries as countless as stars, great dynasties and great empires, one after another!

Qin Chi nodded: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the real world."

"So many countries, so many civilizations..."

The First Emperor murmured to himself, his eyes full of shock, "I, the Qin Dynasty, am among them, so what do I mean?"

Li Si stood aside, with deep shock in his eyes.

He had followed Zulong for many years and thought he was well-informed, but at this moment he felt that his worldview had been completely overturned.

"His Majesty……"

Li Si took a deep breath, "If what Tingwei said is true, then our Great Qin territory is probably just the tip of the iceberg in this world."

The First Emperor was silent for a moment, seeming to be trying to calm down the shock in his heart.

Li Si is absolutely right.

Compared with this world, Da Qin is really too small.

Although he had heard Qin Chi talk about so many countries and dynasties, Zulong still wanted to know one thing...

"Qin Chi, I ask you, where is my Great Qin...?"

Zu Long's face was complicated and he was uneasy.

Li Si also hurriedly looked at the map. He hoped that Qin Chi could point out a huge land boundary where Da Qin was marked!

pity……

Qin Chi smiled slightly. The map in his hand indeed marked the territory of Great Qin!
  However, compared with Da Qin's official map, the boundaries on this map are obviously much smaller.

A trace of doubt and displeasure flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor: "Is Daqin that big?"
