Chapter 257 Religious Issues, Helpless Sura

Listening to Ying Yu's narration, all the officials in the Qilin Palace looked in disbelief.

"Isn't this too outrageous?"

"This is simply a cult!"

"Are the monarchs of these foreign countries all idiots who don't know how to resist?"

All the officials discussed the matter one after another.

Although the monarchs of the Zhou Dynasty would also call themselves the Son of Heaven, which had a hint of divine power, this was just a way of strengthening their rule. No monarch would be really stupid enough to put divine power above military power.

He was as domineering as the First Emperor, and even dismissed the title of Emperor. He directly abolished the title of Emperor, directly used the name of Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and called himself First Emperor.

Therefore, the important ministers of the Qin Dynasty found it difficult to accept and understand the behavior of the Fan states where the divine authority overrode the monarchy as mentioned by Ying Yu.

A trace of anger flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

If Da Qin dared to have such a teaching, given Ying Zheng's character, he would definitely not even mention it. He would first eradicate the Yi tribe of this religion.

"To put it bluntly, it is still a legacy of the feudal system."

"Due to the feudal system, local forces were too strong. In these fan-state countries, there was often a situation like the Eastern Zhou Dynasty where government orders did not leave the capital, and the country was easily divided."

"After the split, there will be multiple countries that believe in one religion.

This has led to many times when religious rulers can manipulate countries and instigate controlled countries to attack other countries, giving religion a higher power status.

In many foreign countries, the pope even has his own army. With military power, the king becomes even weaker."

"Some popes will even deliberately plunge countries into long-term war and chaos, because only in this way will the people pray for God's blessings more, become more devout in their beliefs, and completely become the tools of religion."

Ying Yu sighed.

There is a widely recognized saying in later generations, that is, if the First Emperor had not been able to unify the seven kingdoms and had not taken the initiative of writing, writing, and chariots in the same track, the Central Plains would probably have been fragmented like Europe, and it would have been difficult to integrate into one.

This is also the reason why in thousands of years of history, there have been countless talented and powerful monarchs, but only the First Emperor can be called the one emperor through the ages.

Just because the First Emperor completely set the tone for a unified empire.

From then on, no matter how the dynasties changed, unification was always the main purpose, and any act of division would not be accepted by the people.

"Deserves to be killed!"

Ying Zheng's words are concise and concise.

The courtiers also nodded in agreement.

This kind of religion is really terrible and is the source of trouble!

Ying Yu smiled faintly.

With his own reminder, the vigilance of the monarchs and ministers of Qin Dynasty towards religion will surely rise to a higher level again.

It is not that easy for the Roman God Peacock Cult to be introduced to Da Qin.

Wanting to preach in Daqin without official permission is truly seeking death.

It can be considered that I have eliminated a terrible cancer in advance.

Although the teachings of a certain sect do have the positive side of guiding people to be compassionate after being assimilated, the harm is really too great.

Just the special treatment of not doing production, not doing corvee work, not paying taxes, was enough to make Ying Yu ruthless.

Not to mention the fact that normal marriage is prohibited.

If all the people believed in them, and the men would become monks and the women would become nuns, wouldn't a country not need outsiders to attack it and simply perish because of the loss of descendants?

Ying Yu always has only one method.

Those who obey me will prosper, those who go against me will perish!

If you cooperate honestly and are willing to correct your mistakes, we can give you a chance to meet with you as appropriate.

Those who are unwilling to repent and disobedient, whether it is religion or countries such as Macedonia, Ptolemaic Egypt, and Carthage, will only end up in destruction!

Surrender or die!

As for being polite before fighting, that is simply treating others and yourself as fools.

The Great Qin Dynasty openly publicized it to the people in newspapers. If it is to be realized by the Qin people in the world, do they really think that these countries can't see it?

Xianyang City, Dianke Office.

"What do we do now?"

"The Prince of Da Qin has rejected all our invitations, claiming that unless we first agree to the conditions he proposed before, there will be nothing to discuss."

"Now we even need to pay for the food and clothing we live here by ourselves. Da Qin's attitude couldn't be more obvious."

The Macedonian prince Perseus looked at Ptolemy V and the Carthaginian treasurer Sullada in front of him with a sad expression.

"How about we try to make contact with the Romans?"

"It is said that the Roman envoys are about to arrive in Xianyang City."

"If we can join forces with the Romans, we may not be able to keep the Qin people out of the Mediterranean."

"After all, Da Qin is really far away from the Persian County they mentioned!"

"And it is impossible for Da Qin's fleet to directly reach the Mediterranean area."

Ptolemy V hesitated and analyzed.

Perseus and Sulla looked at each other, with a hint of vigilance flashing in their eyes.

The idea of ​​Ptolemy V is really too dangerous.

If it was just what he meant, it would only mean that Ptolemaic Egypt was a stupid pig.

If Ptolemy IV had this idea, then Ptolemaic Egypt would really have to be on guard.

Otherwise, at the critical moment, Ptolemaic Egypt would stab them in the back, and neither Macedonia nor Carthage could withstand it.

The two exchanged a few words casually, and then quickly found a place to discuss.

"No wonder the Crown Prince of Qin looks down on us. Now, even I have almost given up hope."

"I think Ptolemy I was considered a wise ruler at the beginning, but now, only a hundred years later, he has fallen to this level."

Perseus sighed.

Sula also secretly smiled bitterly.

Ptolemy V's words of betrayal are indeed hateful.

But you, Perseus, who is also the prince of Macedonia and the future heir, are always so pessimistic. Isn't this really a problem?

Thinking about the Seleucid Kingdom that had completely sold itself to the Qin Dynasty, Sulla couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

What kind of pig teammates are these in Carthage?

It's just a pitfall compared to the other.

No wonder the Romans' troops on the Macedonian and Seleucid lines were much smaller than those on the Carthage line, but they could always gain an advantage.

It’s not that the Romans are too strong, it’s that these pig teammates are so stupid!

This kind of pig teammate, let alone Da Qin, even he himself looks down upon.

The Romans who were defeated by the Qin Dynasty bowed their knees, and it was natural for them to look down upon Macedonia and other countries that were defeated by the Romans.

According to Sulla's estimation, as long as Great Qin continues to exert pressure, the Perseus in front of him will most likely give in.

Although Macedonia has declined, it is still the orthodoxy of Alexander's great empire in the past.

Once the Seleucid Kingdom joins the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty will no longer be able to stop it from moving deeper into the Mediterranean Sea!

The Carthaginians, who started out as sea traders, would not be as stupid as Ptolemy V, thinking that geographical environment alone could limit the Qin fleet.

Yes, the distance between the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea is indeed very far, and the Qin fleet cannot reach it for the time being.

But wouldn’t Great Qin build a shipyard on the Mediterranean coast and start building a fleet again?

Based on what I have seen along the way, Da Qin definitely has this strength.

I am afraid that within a few years, an unimaginably powerful fleet will appear on the Mediterranean Sea.
