After Li Shun walked out of the palace, he felt a chill on his back. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and hurried back to the hotel where he stayed.

"Mr. Li, after drinking tea, should I teach the king to play mahjong?" After returning to the hotel, an official remembered that there was an important cultural communication task that had not been completed today.

"You are blind, and I didn't see Lord Li feeling unwell!" Another official carefully supported Li Shun and sat on the carpet and reminded, "Mr. Li, your face is not very good. Should you ask the officials who are resting to find a doctor to diagnose it!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I suddenly feel dizzy, so I'll take a break. Let's go to the city together later, write down all the situations I should record, and ask for it by the way. We will set off to return to Daqin in a few days!" Li Shun said while sitting on the carpet, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"Go back so soon?" A group of officials from the mission looked at each other.

"Well, we have been on mission for more than two years. Your Majesty and the Marquis of Qinghe must still be looking forward to us to bring back the news from the Western countries. If it is delayed for too long, they may think that our accident will inevitably affect Your Majesty and the Marquis' formulation of the next national policy. This matter is relatively urgent. Moreover, the emperor of the Empress of Rest has clearly stated that he would send envoys to the Qin Dynasty. Our mission is also a complete success. Your Majesty will definitely reward you after you go back. Don't you want to go back early to eat delicious food, drink wine, and sleep in the Quyuan...."

"Mr. Li said, I can't hold it anymore!"

The group of people immediately started drooling, saying that they would indeed return to Daqin earlier.

In the following time, a group of people in the regiment began to wander around the city and experience the customs and customs as usual when they arrived in other countries, and observed the country's soldiers' equipment, weapons, war horses, and civilians' living conditions, and visited some nobles and officials to get close to each other.

When on a mission, you must observe carefully, be bold, careful and shameless, so that you can find out the information that Daqin needs most. This is Chen Xu's advice before leaving, and Li Shun and others keep it in mind.

Collecting intelligence is not too popular or inconvenient for the current earth civilization.

The Persian War, the Roman War, the Middle East War, and the Alexander War, all of these wars that influence human civilization have very little effect. Most of the wars are hard-working between large armies, just to see who has a big fist and who has more support from gods. The wars between these empires are not even used very much. For Westerners, they are full of muscles and never rely on brains to fight. They do not exist in any way, such as military strategy, Sun Tzu's art of war, and thirty-six strategies.

But for today's Great Qin, if you want to flatten all the civilizations on earth, you have to plant the dragon flag of the Great Qin all over the five continents and the four seas. This is more than ten times more difficult than conquering the six countries and unifying China. Whether it is population, weapons, transportation, logistics supplies, national strength, etc., it is not enough to support this war that transcends the times. The further away from the country's territory, the more difficult it is to conquer and manage it.

Therefore, to assist Qin Shihuang in guiding the world, war is not the only way, and even the method Chen Xu puts it into consideration.

Faced with this strategic plan that transcends the times, then one cannot be a muscular man like Alexander the Great, who personally led his army from the Balkans to sweep the Mediterranean coast, and then swept across Asia, Africa and Europe to conquer the world with force.

Martial conquests in any era are the easiest to fall apart, but Europeans enjoy repeating the same process. From Alexander the Great to Napoleon, these emperors who were famous in the history of the development of earth civilization, except for their temporary prestige, the ultimate unified kingdoms fell apart, and even included Hitler's Third German Empire.

But China is different. Since Qin Shihuang's Qin Dynasty truly unified China's centralization, it has maintained a situation of unity and unity for most of the thousands of years. What maintains this unified situation is cultural identity, books, texts, carriages, and system, and ideological unity. Taoism and Confucian culture have made an indelible contribution to it.

Of course, the situation in Europe is much more complicated than the dispute between the Chinese princes. The most important thing is the issue of religious belief. Egyptian civilization, Persian civilization, Greek civilization, and Ganges civilization are on a continent connected to each other, but they have produced different religions and beliefs. Various messy gods are not united with each other, resulting in endless struggles between civilizations. Although civilizations are also constantly merging and developing in the midst of the constant struggles. Although Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and West Asia, and India were once Hellenized, this process is very short, causing culture and religious belief to fall apart before they can be unified, and in the end it has not developed into a unified whole like China.

There are many sects of the Hundred Schools of China, but there is a recognized origin, that is, the two emperors of Yan and Huang. If a disciple of any sect in China takes out a book of the Book of Changes, it will inevitably be recognized and accepted by everyone. However, if you recite the Bible to the *** junction of the chaotic Eurasian junction, you will be beaten to death.

If a completely different civilization of the I Ching of Changes were to be found in the already messy civilizations of West Asia and Europe at this time, and the magic weapons of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and Yin and Yang Tai Chi were held high to guide the things everywhere, I am afraid that it would bring even more chaos.

The best conquest is cultural conquest.

The important reason why China is prosperous is the inclusiveness of civilization. It will unconsciously absorb a large number of foreign civilizations into a part of its own civilization, rather than being strongly xenophobic like other religions and civilizations.

Just like Buddhism, since Buddhism was introduced to China, Buddhism has actually changed beyond recognition after its local development and has almost nothing to do with Indian Buddhism. Moreover, with the rise of Chinese Buddhism, Indian Buddhism, as the origin of Buddhism, has gradually declined. It developed to its peak and extreme during the Tang Dynasty. The world's Buddhist center has also shifted from India to China, and then spread to Japan, Tibet, Nanyang and other parts of the world.

Taoism has also been continuously integrated in the development of Buddhism. In the end, Taoism has promoted the unity of the three religions. The Quanzhen School integrates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. On weekdays, the Tao Te Ching, the Filial Piety, and the Heart Sutra of Prajna are recited and practiced together. This kind of religious development that absorbs and integrates the meanings of different sects. There is no semicolon on the entire earth. Only the Chinese are so generous and awesome, and others cannot learn it even if they want to learn it, because their ancestors did not tell them that the three of them must have a teacher. If they choose the good ones and follow it, then the truth that their bad ones have been changed. Western civilization has never changed their own arrogance and barbarism that they think they are, so that the whole Europe has never been truly unified.

Faced with such a chaotic situation on Earth's civilization, although Chen Xu knew some general situations outside of China, he had to admit that the Qin Dynasty did not have enough strength to unify the world with force.

However, China can use another way to conquer the entire world.

That is to use force and virtue to win, and then play the same card with the same text, the same track, and the same system.

Cultural expansion and commercial expansion are launched together, adopting the invasion model of later Western culture, using the strong industrial manufacturing capabilities after the Industrial Revolution as a backing, maintaining strong military pressure, and using colonization and enfeoffment of princes to achieve the goal of conquering the entire earth.

Chen Xu's idea was unknown to Li Shun and others, and no one knew the entire Qin Dynasty, but this did not prevent him from borrowing the status of the Left Prime Minister and the reputation of the First Emperor to promote the process to continue to develop. Therefore, almost the entire Qin Dynasty was working hard for his goal openly and secretly, including Li Shun and others, an important gear in this process. Under the promotion of Chen Xu, the machine to unify the earth of the Qin Dynasty had already started, and after several years of accumulation, it was finally time to show the card.

Chen Xu must use culture and economy to blow up the Western world to pieces, and will not give them a chance to invade China again.

In a few decades, they must be given a Chinese exam.

This resentment Chen Xu is very deep.

...

In the next few days, Li Shun and others spent most of their time experiencing the customs and customs of the King of the Silent Empire and collecting various intelligence information, except for receiving banquets from some Silent nobles and emperors.

During these days, Antioch III also asked about the movements of Li Shun's delegation through the accompanying officials, and the results he got were very confused.

The mission that came from Daqin far away was different from those from other countries. They did not buy various colors of gems and agates produced in Persia in the city, nor did they choose exquisite blankets. Instead, they searched for seeds of fruits and vegetables everywhere in the city, and were not very interested in anything else.

Although Antioch was puzzled by the bizarre and strange behavior of the Great Qin mission, he did not interfere too much. Instead, he asked the officials in charge of agriculture in the Empire to collect a lot of seeds and pack them and then send them to the hotel. At the same time, Antioch III also convened ministers and nobles to repeatedly discuss how to establish friendly relations with the Great Qin.

Five days later, this matter was basically arranged.

Li Shun was summoned to the palace as the chief of the mission. Antioch III announced the decision that the Sakura Empire would send envoys to the Qin Dynasty. At the same time, it would also summon a huge caravan to the Qin Dynasty for exchanges. Li Shun also expressed that he would lead the envoys to set off for Xianyang as soon as possible and bring this good news back to the Qin Dynasty.

After coming out of the palace, Li Shun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Up to today, the missions sent to the Western countries have finally completed the mission successfully.

"Mr. Li, someone wants to see you!" At dusk, Li Shun was discussing the path to return to the Qin Dynasty with a group of officials and the leaders of the imperial guards in the hotel, and an imperial guard came in to report.

"Who? Please come to my bedroom!" Li Shun stood up and ordered.

"Sir, the one who came to pass the message was a masked woman who said she was a noble man from the palace who was visiting her. Because it was inconvenient to enter the hotel, she was waiting for you in the Leshe next to her!"

"The noble man of the palace?" Li Shun inexplicably pulled his beard and thought for a while, then a pair of beautiful big sapphire eyes suddenly appeared in his mind, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
