"First of all, we must become a vassal state of Great Qin!"

"no problem!"

Seleucid IV nodded quickly.

"Pay tribute, one hundred thousand catties of gold every year!"

"Can!"

Seleucus IV nodded with difficulty.

Although one hundred thousand kilograms of gold is a lot, it is still bearable compared to the losses suffered by the Romans every year.

"If the land is ceded, our Da Qin reinforcements will recover the land and it will all belong to our Da Qin! Fusu thought for a while and said.

If this is the case, the soldiers' expedition to foreign lands is equivalent to opening up territory for the Qin Dynasty, which will be easily accepted by both the government and the public.

As for casualties,

Fusu plans to let Wusun Qiuci join the Qin Alliance. When they all sent out some of their troops, with them charging forward, Da Qin's main force was very stable.

Coach Fusu planned to use Meng Tian.

As the first general to be loyal to him and a true commander, Fusu naturally deserved to treat Meng Tian badly.

A fierce general who charged into the battle. , Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo, etc. are all good choices.

By the way, Lu Pheasant and Lu Su have performed well recently, so you can consider giving Lu Ze a chance.

Seleucid IV hesitated for a moment, but nodded.

Giving it to the Qin Dynasty is better than giving it to the Romans.

And it is equivalent to giving the Seleucid Kingdom a buffer.

"If you marry a princess, you won't need this."

Fusu waved his hand.

"This must be a condition of cooperation!"

Seleucus IV insisted.

If he can't even marry the princess into the prince's palace, he doesn't know how to explain it after returning to the country.

If they become in-laws, at least he still has an excuse.

"That leaves the last condition!"

"All military expenses of the Great Qin Expeditionary Army were paid by Seleucid, and Seleucid had the right to command it, including the Seleucid army!"

It was Seleucus who cooperated with Qin to fight, not Qin who cooperated with Seleucus to fight!"

The right to command the battle is extremely critical. As long as Seleucus takes the lead in the battle, Seleucus will only be able to enter the control of Qin. It's just a matter of time.

Moreover, it can also consume more of the effective forces of the foreign races, making Da Qin’s strategy for the surrounding areas easier.

"On this one, we need to reply to the letter and ask the father for instructions."

Seleucus IV hesitated and said. He was not stupid either. He knew very well the importance of this command.

"Okay, I am waiting for your reply."

Fusu waved his hand, turned around and left.

Only Seleucus and others were left looking at each other.

After a long time, they sighed leisurely.

In such a situation, can they not agree?......

"As long as Seleucus agrees to the terms of Great Qin and loses military command, he can only obey any instructions of Great Qin honestly. In the far west, Great Qin will have enough influence."

"When sea trade really develops, our Great Qin can support Seleucid through sea routes, and then we can truly win this place!"

Above the court, Fusu stood in front of the world map, drew a line between the sea areas of Qin and the Seleucid Kingdom with a pen, and introduced it to the courtiers.

"Well, yes, although this land route is difficult, if the sea route can be opened and this five-tooth giant ship is added, there is indeed a lot to do!"

Ying Zheng studied the map carefully for a long time and laughed loudly.

This is an area that the Central Plains Dynasty has never touched.

Once it can be won, it will not expand the territory thousands of miles, but directly expand the territory thousands of miles.

It can be said that, If we can really digest the Seleucid Kingdom and the Maurya Dynasty, then the Qin Dynasty will have achieved more than half of its journey to an empire on which the sun never sets.

"Now the old minister finally understands why His Royal Highness insists on opening the sea."

"If there was no sea route, even if we knew that the Seleucid Kingdom had great opportunities, we, Great Qin, would still be powerless!"

Wang Jian and others also expressed their gratitude.

"This time, kings and envoys from various countries not only brought generous gifts, but also ordered large quantities of goods, enough for all the workshops in Daqin to work overtime for production."

Nei Shiteng also said with a beaming face.

More trade volume means more business taxes, more jobs, and a stronger Daqin.

Nei Shiteng has fallen into this endless happiness. He extricated himself.

Especially Fusu also asked Seleucus to bear all the military expenses of the expeditionary force, which also saved a large amount of expenditure for the national treasury, which can all be used for the internal development of Daqin.

Nei Shiteng would laugh out of his dreams recently.

"But is it reliable for the countries in the Western Region to mobilize troops to form the Seleucid Expeditionary Army?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said.

The courtiers also looked over one after another. Apparently they also had the same small country.

"Now our great Qin is so powerful that these small countries dare not refuse to agree."

"What's more, although the expeditionary force is large, numbering a hundred thousand, the distribution to various countries is actually completely within their tolerance."

"For example, the Wusun Kingdom can easily raise 30,000 cavalry, and the Qiuci Kingdom can also raise 10,000 cavalry."

"As long as we promise to give them the right to distribute part of the spoils, we don't have to worry about them not trying their best!"

"If anyone dares to be dissatisfied, it is very simple. In the name of the leader of the alliance, he can directly call on all countries to divide the dissatisfied ones first."

"This dispatch of troops was actually a cost for Da Qin to ensure their safety. Fusu said with a slight smile.

Historically, when the Han and Tang Dynasties ruled the Western Regions, this trick was used, and the effect was very good.

Now the influence of the Qin Dynasty is still higher than that of these two dynasties, so naturally there is no problem

"In this way, I feel relieved. I will follow what you mentioned before, Fusu, and form the Great Qin Western Region Protectorate. With Meng Tian as the Protector, Zhang Liang as the Chief Commander, and Han Xin as the Commander-in-Chief, they will command the armies of all countries in the Western Region and be responsible for the expedition!"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said.

All the officials also nodded. Meng Tian's loyalty to the Qin Dynasty and his military exploits are well known to everyone. He is indeed the best candidate to take charge of the Western Region Protectorate. Only Wang Ben is a little bit better.

I'm a little disappointed.

But I think that defending the capital is also an important position, and Wang Li also has the opportunity to conquer Fusang Island. As long as the navy develops, Wang Ben will have many opportunities. After all,

Da Qin has lofty goals, and Meng Tian can't control it at all. Many places.

Fusu was also very satisfied with this.

Being appointed as chief historian and captain by Ying Zheng shows that the abilities of Zhang Liang and Han Xin have been fully recognized by Ying Zheng and the courtiers.

With these two people assisting Meng Tian, Da Qin The road to westward expansion will definitely be much smoother.

Fusu can also rest assured to let Fan Kuai, Lu Ze, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others go out to experience, gain experience from the Maurya Dynasty and the Romans, and grow up as soon as possible.

As for Seleucid Will Bian agree?

Fusu is not worried at all.

From the moment they stepped into Xianyang, the outcome has been doomed.

At this time, Nei Shiteng suddenly raised a question

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Xianyang City needs to be expanded."
