Chapter 344 The World
"Before answering the prince," Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Please look at the pictures in my hand. Please do not allow me to spend a little time introducing them."
Xu Ziling took out a small world map from the light jade slip. Although it was self-drawn, he also knew that there would be many differences between the Tang Dynasty and rivers and regions a thousand years later. However, the roughly ground tapir was not there. He probably estimated that the current world terrain had drawn a relatively simple world map.
Compared to the Central Plains map of the descendants of Yan and Huang or the military map used by Shen Luoyan, I believe that using this to fool Fu Qian and Xing Mofei and others is still possible.
Xu Ziling put it on the desk and spread it out. He asked Fu Qian and the others to go to the table to take a closer look.
"Is this?" The two women, Huana and Lian, couldn't understand it mainly because they couldn't understand it because they couldn't understand it because they were afraid that ordinary people would easily imitate the map. The small seal script, also known as Qin seal script, was improved by Qin Prime Minister Li Si, when he unified the text of Qin State, and wrote it on the more complex large seal script. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was extremely pleasing to the eye and had a unique flavor.
"This is seal script." Surprisingly, the prince of Tuyuhun actually recognized it. When he saw Xu Ziling's handwriting that had been practicing for two years, Xu Ziling was quite embarrassed and praised Fu Qian: "Although Fu Qian had seen seal script before, this was the first time he saw such elegant and lively seal script. The characters were like paintings, all of which seemed to be about to break out of paper at any time. Fu Qian admired it."
"These are not only seal scripts." Xing Mofei was even more awesome. He had realized that although he didn't recognize this map, he was so conscious and said happily: "This must be a brief picture of the landscape scriptures drawn by Mr. Xu? Is this a brief picture of the landscape scriptures drawn by Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu teaches Mofei!"
"This is a sketch map of all the mountains, seas and rivers in the world today. It is referred to as the world map for short." Xu Ziling smiled faintly.
"What?" The prince of Tuyuhun and his number one general suddenly realized that this picture was a treasure, and their eyes suddenly emitted a light like light. After looking at each other tacitly, they immediately put away their surprise. The two of them all looked at each other and reached out to ask Xu Ziling to explain.
"Although the paintings were exhibited in a deviation, the entire landform in our world is probably like this." Xu Ziling's words were soft but Fu Qian and Xing Mofei had already raised their ears and remembered them in their hearts. For fear of any leakage. Xu Ziling pointed to a place with relative words and figures in the picture and said: "This is a small four-sided black dot in the Central Plains area that represents the current eastern capital Luoyang, and the other one next to it is Chang'an."
Fu Qian and Xing Mofei saw that Luoyang and Chang'an were only less than an inch away from each other on this four-foot-square world map. And the entire Central Plains, which was the largest and most prosperous in their minds, was far from as big as the Turks. What's more important is that there are large areas below the Central Plains that are even larger than the Central Plains. However, there are almost no signs of cities on it and there are not many patterns. Like the Turks on the east side above the Central Plains, there are all blank spaces.
In addition to a place with slightly dense signs, there are dozens of close or equally dense areas in the entire picture.
The farthest place is two feet away from the Central Plains, and its city and other patterns are no less than the Central Plains.
"This is Tuyuhun." Xu Ziling casually let Fu Qian and Xing Mo see their hometown with a little ashamed. There are almost no maps and signs on it, and there are very few literary and artistic workers' characters. Even the area is pitifully small. There is only a pattern of cows and horses on it, except for a tent-like pattern. It seems that it is a pattern divided into the Tiel people's regions.
"This is the great area of Tiele, which is an East-West Turk." Xu Ziling pointed out that the area was drawn with different thick lines and said, "This is the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang."
When Fu Qian and Xing Mofei saw the jagged and spread out like the Great Wall, they couldn't help but be shocked by the giant size of this Great Wall.
Because this Great Wall extends the entire Central Plains, the top of the entire world map is extremely eye-catching. Apart from a few thick lines representing rivers, there is no longer a larger pattern mark than it. The two of them are absolutely sure that the entire world map has no longer a man-made building than this Great Wall. In comparison, Luoyang, the famous eastern capital of the world, is just a square black dot that is much smaller than a small fingernail, and the Great Wall is a serrated black line that extends half a foot.
"For hundreds of years," Xu Ziling said lightly: "The Central Plains have always relied on the barriers of the Great Wall to fight against all races since the Five Barbarians invaded China more than a hundred years ago. The foreign powers have almost completely penetrated into the Great Wall. In other words, the conflict between the foreign race and the Central Plains has existed. The iron cavalry of the East and West Turks can almost go south at any time and they can easily travel throughout the region."
Xu Ziling used his hand to draw a big gesture on the terrain of Asia.
"If the Central Plains are unified," Xu Ziling pointed out a Central Plains area and said slowly: "With the wealth and manpower of the Central Plains, we will surely drive the East and West Turks out of this large area. In fact, the Han people around the Central Plains before and after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed and assimilated the Eastern Huns at that time and expelled the Western Huns to this place."
Xu Ziling pointed to Western Asia, Eastern Europe and Central Europe and pointed out some parts of Persia and Eastern Rome.
"Although they were defeated by the Han people at that time, they were much stronger than the races here. After decades, they built a powerful dynasty in this area called the Hun Kingdom. However, due to the death of the eighth monarch, the sons had a war and gave the enemy an opportunity to eliminate them." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "The enemy who destroyed them was called Rome."
"This Rome was once extremely powerful." Xu Ziling pointed to most of Europe, West Asia and Egypt, and said: "There are almost no rivals in this large area of the West, but because of too many civil strife, it was divided into two, half, Eastern Rome and Western Rome. About a hundred years after the extermination of the Hun Kingdom, Western Rome was also destroyed. Now only Eastern Rome was left, and they were later called Byzantium. Their capital was here."
"Because it is very close to the Persian Empire." Xu Ziling pointed at Constantine Bao's position and pointed at the Persian Empire. Desia smiled and said, "They fought with this powerful Persian Empire for nearly a hundred years. Now the Persian Empire has the absolute upper hand. They are now extremely powerful. All the countries around the border surrendered to them."
"But the long-term wars made the Persian Empire soon unable to do anything, and then became empty." Xu Ziling pointed Persia and said to Fu Qian and Xing Mofei: "No matter how much gold and land they got, it would be useless because their young and strong men were already left in the long-term consumption. In addition, some countries that surrendered had no war for many years. The population surged. Now Persia has reached the point where it is strong outside and the middle. As long as a slightly strong hand is used to snatch them, they will fall to the ground and never be reborn."
"Look at the great food country that is very close to Persia." Xu Ziling pointed to the Central Asia and Iran area and said: "They are one of the allies in Persia now responsible for expanding their territory to the east. However, there is a Tianzhu and its allies here that blocked their footsteps. This Tianzhu is the source of Buddhism, but now their Buddhas have completely disappeared and replaced by a Brahmin. This Tianzhu is not big. Moreover, it is extremely cowardly, but because there are too many countries here, there is a chaos, and the Dazhu itself has no intention of helping Persia expand, and it consumes its own national strength, so it has not been defeated."
"What does Mr. Xu mean?" Xing Mofei saw that his country Tuyuhun was insufficient in Persia or the land of India, a small vassal state, and said in a whisper: "Can we bypass the Turks and do something?"
"Mo Fei's foot is indeed a little clear." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "But the place to attack first is not Tianzhu but here."
Xu Ziling took a little European point and then looked at Fu Qian and Xing Mofei with a smile.
"So far?" Fu Qian saw that it was a far cry from the distance between Luoyang and Chang'an. If the half inch distance is equal to a few hundred miles, it would probably be more than tens of thousands of miles away. He looked so angry.
"Do you know why the Huns could establish the Hun Empire here?" Xu Ziling asked back, of course. Fu Qian and Xing Mofei could not answer Xu Ziling stopped for a while and said slowly: "Because the terrain here is the same as the outer edge of the Central Plains, and the land is extremely fertile, which is most suitable for men on horseback to gallop and fight. More importantly, people here like to charge in groups and fight in a city. The war will cause heavy casualties and wars. All countries have been consumed seriously for years. Only a little elite soldier can fight down."
"Such a good opportunity." Fu Qian suddenly looked deep in Xu Ziling for a long time before he slowly said: "Why did Mr. Xu tell Fu Qian? Why didn't he send troops to this Eastern Rome?"
"Who said I would not send troops to this Eastern Rome?" Xu Ziling said calmly: "Although I am a gangster in Yangzhou, I have a ridiculous dream that is to conquer all enemies or regions in the world under my feet. Except for allies, I will never let any other country exist in this world. Because only in this way can the people of the world no longer have wars, no wars, no wars, no tragic deaths, no feuds and mortal enemies."
"I will not only send troops to attack this Eastern Rome, but also attack the Persian food and this Tianzhu." Xu Ziling smiled slightly to Fu Qian and Xing Mofei who were stunned and said, "If the prince and the waterfly are interested, you might as well play together. This is the idea of telling the two of you. Both of you are the rare heroes in the world and are so young and don't build any achievements, but sitting in Tuyuhun as a city to defend the enemy."
"You are not caring about the Central Plains?" Xing Mofei said with a little throat and dry tongue: "How can you join forces in the Central Plains? If the war in the Central Plains is quelled, then there are still things in the Turks who can send troops together? What kind of Eastern Rome can we send troops together?"
"The Central Plains Rebellion cannot be calmed down in one day." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Even if I have the strength, I cannot unify the Central Plains immediately. Because doing so not only exposes my strength to the world, but also pulls the Turks in the civil strife to their opposites. When the Turks see that the Central Plains are unified, they will definitely join forces to attack. So we can do some far away first, we will send troops to nourish our citizens and soldiers in the distant places. After we grow strong enough, we will compete with the East and West Turks. The total strength of the East and West Turks will definitely be the most powerful in the world, so we have to keep them until the end."
"It sounds incredible." Fu Qian was so excited that his hands trembled slightly, he roared in a low voice with his boxing and his face firmly: "But this really makes people excited and want to stop. If Mr. Xu was willing to send troops together, how could our Tuyuhun's children fall behind? I did it in one sentence!"
