Chapter 211 Heavenly Kingdom, a well-deserved name

After receiving the gift list from Nei Shiteng, Ying Zheng couldn't help but look forward to it.

You know, although most people fully support this event.

However, there are also many people who are chirping on the sidelines, saying that this is a useless move that wastes people and money.

Now that there is such a rich tribute, I believe that if it is announced, this group of people will be able to shut up.

Looking at the thick gift list in my hand, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

The Wusun Kingdom presented five thousand kilograms of gold, a glass treasure, and several jade articles!

Dayeshi offered 20,000 catties of gold, and the Maurya Dynasty captured 100,000 and some jewels!

The Jingjue Kingdom presented three thousand catties of gold, thirty thousand taels of silver, and a thousand fine war horses!

The Antu Kingdom presented a thousand catties of gold, a number of treasures, and a hundred beauties!

Looking at the generous gift lists, Ying Zheng's face was filled with smiles.

The total value of the gifts presented by these countries exceeds at least 50 million yuan.

No wonder Nestern was so excited.

"Father, these gift lists are only part of it. The real fat sheep is Seleucus IV!"

Looking at Brother Zheng who looked equally excited, Ying Yu smiled slightly.

Although Alexander's empire has fallen apart, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

The Seleucid Empire, which inherited the Persian region, was definitely very wealthy.

The reason why Ying Yu has not sent the gift list for a long time is probably because Seleucus IV is still hesitating.

However, the initiative lies with Da Qin, and Ying Yu can completely raise the price.

If Da Qin wants to send troops for reinforcements, then the Seleucid Empire must be prepared to suffer a lot of bloodshed.

For Great Qin, whether it forms an alliance with Seleucid or not has no impact at all.

But for the Seleucids, if they did not have strong foreign aid, they would most likely be destroyed by the powerful Roman Empire.

When the time comes, all the men in the Seleucid Empire will definitely be killed by the cruel Romans.

The fate of women is even more tragic, and they will become the playthings of the victor.

After knowing how powerful Great Qin was, Seleucus IV would definitely form an alliance with Great Qin at all costs.

...

Soon, under the spotlight, the tribute day finally came.

Early in the morning, envoys from various countries had lined up neatly in front of Xianyang Palace.

They have admired the First Emperor of Qin for a long time, and today they finally had the opportunity to meet this godless king.

However, what the envoys from various countries did not expect was that His Majesty the First Emperor did not invite them into the majestic Xianyang Palace.

Instead, carriages were sent to pull them to the banks of the Weishui River.

It is said that I want to watch some kind of battleship launching ceremony.

The envoys from various countries were all confused and did not understand what was going on.

But they didn't dare to have an attack and could only whisper among themselves in private.

However, when they knew that His Majesty the First Emperor and the Crown Prince were coming, the envoys suddenly became excited again.

In the past few days, these kings, princes and envoys have tried their best to see the First Emperor Ying Zheng or the Crown Prince Ying Yu.

But without exception, everyone was rejected.

Especially Seleucid IV was extremely anxious.

Since entering the prairie, Seleucus has started a life that will shock him anytime and anywhere.

Whether it was the fierce and ferocious prairie cavalry or the endless Great Wall that looked like a giant dragon, they all shocked him beyond measure.

After entering the Qin Dynasty, the smooth and hard roads, the continuous flow of and orderly motorcades, were beyond the reach of Seleucus IV.

After arriving in Xianyang, everyone in the Seleucid envoy was dumbfounded.

In the West, Rome was the most prosperous and largest city-state, with a population of 200,000.

Moreover, the roads are well developed and it has the reputation that all roads lead to Rome.

But compared with the majestic capital of Qin in front of us, the city of Rome is simply a joke.

The entire Xianyang City is dozens of miles in diameter.

The population is said to have exceeded half a million.

Half a million people, in the West, is already comparable to the total population of a mid-level country.

What shocked them even more was that not a single person in tattered clothes could be seen in the entire Xianyang City.

The clothes worn by the people in this city are actually comparable to those of the nobles of the Seleucid Empire.

Everyone here has a bright smile on their face.

After seeing these foreigners, although there was curiosity in their eyes, they were more disdainful.

To Seleucus IV, he felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Moreover, the degree of commercial development in Xianyang City also made Seleucus dumbfounded.

Tea, silk, and paper, which are comparable to treasures, can be found everywhere here.

After seeing Xianyang Palace, which was as towering as a mountain, Seleucus IV was stunned.

He couldn't figure out how such a splendid building was built.

He wanted to enter this huge palace to visit, but he was stopped by a group of soldiers wearing black armor.

Only then did he know that the person who lived in this palace was Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

Look at this house, this is where an emperor should live.

Compared with this palace, the place where their Seleucid king lived was like a pigsty.

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly worthy of its reputation!

After that, Seleucus IV always wanted to ask to see Ying Zheng or Ying Yu, but he never saw them.

Now that I know that the two of them will arrive at the same time, I am naturally very excited.

Just when he came to the bank of the Weishui River, Seseleucus IV was shocked again.

People, people are everywhere.

The entire bank of the Weishui River, stretching for who knows how many miles, was filled with people of the Qin Dynasty in costumes.

The sheer number of them made envoys from various countries feel numb when they saw them.

"Didn't I say that there are only 500,000 people in Xianyang City?"

"But there are more than just this number of Qin people standing by this river, right?"

"And people keep coming. Is this battleship launching ceremony so important? Can it attract so many Qin people to watch?"

Until now, the envoys from various countries have not yet understood the significance of the so-called battleship launching ceremony.

However, they figured out why His Majesty the First Emperor and the Crown Prince did not receive them.

This is to let them clearly understand the gap between them and Da Qin.

Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they had to admit that even if Alexander's Empire was not divided, it would not be the opponent of the Qin Empire.

Even if they unite with the Roman Empire, I am afraid they can only barely compete with the Qin Dynasty.

Because Da Qin was not only powerful in terms of military force, but also in terms of cultural inheritance, commercial economy, and technological development, it was far ahead of them.

After entering Daqin, especially after arriving in Xianyang, this group of foreigners had already lost their confidence.

Originally, they all entered Da Qin with their heads held high, but now they are all downcast.

Some weak state envoys and even ordinary Qin people did not dare to look directly at them.
