When the news spread, the entire Daqin once again fell into a carnival.

Many people who went to Xianyang City to participate in the launching ceremony of the five-tooth giant ship did not expect that they would have such a huge surprise before they had recovered from the power of the naval giant ship.

People took to the streets one by one, singing and dancing.

And soon, the entire Great Qin also joined in the celebration.

"Haha, being born in my country, Daqin, is indeed the greatest luck!"

"So many glories that have never been seen in thousands of years have now appeared in our Great Qin!"

"Tu'an country, isn't that the hometown of Princess Yushu, the concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince? Now King Tu'an has actually given the entire country as a dowry!"

"The newspaper said that some ancient country also came to ask for help from our country, Daqin. In my opinion, they might as well marry a princess and give them more land as a dowry!"

"You dare to think!"

"Why not? Your Highness the Crown Prince is a god descended to earth. Being able to serve His Highness the Crown Prince is the greatest honor for a princess from a foreign country!"

"I am from Da Qin, and I am much stronger than those nobles from small countries!"

The common people were all beaming with joy, pointing at the map of Tu'an Kingdom printed in the newspaper, and celebrating the expansion of the Qin territory again. Their faces were full of confidence.

This time, they have really seen what is real. Heavenly Kingdom!

Everyone is proud of it.

Xianyang City, where the envoys are stationed.

Seleucus IV and the envoys looked at each other, and none of them knew what to say.

On the way here, for convenience To communicate, they specially studied Qin language, and now they can roughly understand the contents of the newspaper.

And the latest news that the First Emperor of Qin agreed to annex Tu'an and merge it into Qin suddenly put the Seleucid Kingdom into embarrassment In the situation.

Now the hottest topic in the entire Qin Dynasty is Tu Anguo.

They have repeatedly requested to visit the Qin Crown Prince Fusu, but they have been blocked on the grounds of busy state affairs.

It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince also cares more. The smooth integration of Tuan Kingdom.

It seems that the Seleucid Kingdom is a little unconcerned.

"How should we respond now?"

Seleucus IV sighed.

"I have been studying the Crown Prince of Great Qin recently. It can be concluded that His Highness the Crown Prince is a complete hegemonist and the one who puts the interests of Great Qin first. He will never show mercy to any opponent who has offended Great Qin.

The three former kings of the grasslands we saw yesterday, as well as the hundreds of thousands of grassland prisoners who are working as coolies in the Qin Dynasty, are proof of this!"

Opela, deputy head of the Seleucid envoy, councilor and member of the royal family, slowly spoke.

Seleucid IV nodded. Opela's vision was recognized by the entire Seleucid Kingdom.

"So I thought that this���Your Highness, you didn't see us on purpose, just waiting for us to get impatient, and then sat on the ground and raised your price."

"After all, Da Qin can afford it, but we can’t afford it!"

"Your Highness has also seen that Da Qin is an empire that is actively expanding externally. It is currently using the Donghu people in the grassland to attack the Maurya Dynasty, which is larger than us, and the progress is very smooth."

"In ten years at most, the Maurya Dynasty will be completely annexed by Qin"

"And the ambition of His Highness does not stop there. He publicly declared in the newspaper to all the people of Qin that in the future, wherever the sun shines, it will be the land of Qin!"

Seleucus and others all gasped.

Conquering the world, isn't this what Alexander the Great wanted to do in the past, but failed to do it?

However, they have to admit that today's Great Qin Empire is indeed better than Alexander the Great in the past. The great empire is stronger!

Just the population, prosperity and other background are not comparable to Alexander's empire

"Therefore, Rome, which is also expanding rapidly, is definitely a potential enemy of the Qin Dynasty. Sooner or later, it will have a head-on conflict with the Qin Dynasty!"

"As for our Seleucid Kingdom, there are actually only three fates. One is to surrender to Rome, the other is to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, and the last one is to be destroyed."

"In the midst of the two superpowers, even if the former Alexander the Great is resurrected, it will be difficult to change his destiny, let alone that the great empire has been divided into several pieces!"

Opera sighed heavily.

In the past few decades, the Seleucid Kingdom has not only failed to expand, but has continued to shrink.

When it was first established, the Seleucid Kingdom was still called the Seleucid Empire, and it inherited the entire The prosperous land of Persia has a population of tens of millions and a territory of more than 3 million square kilometers, which is not much smaller than the Mauryan Dynasty.

However, since the founding monarch Seleucus I failed in his attempt to attack Macedonia and was assassinated, the situation took a turn for the worse.

First, he was The Ptolemaic dynasty was defeated, resulting in the loss of most of the eastern territory. The Parthian and Bactrian kingdoms successively became independent from the Seleucid Empire.

Although today's Antiochus III worked hard and conquered some of the lost territories, he encountered more difficult situations. The powerful Romans, the situation is more difficult than before

"Is our Seleucid Kingdom really hopeless?"

Seleucid IV said in a very lonely manner.

"In this world, power is truth, and there is no shame in surrendering to the strong."

"The Persian Empire in the past was once powerful, but now, there is no trace of the Persian royal family at all."

"We have missed our best opportunity!"

"Now we just want to see which side is more advantageous to join Qin or Rome."

Opela said with a wry smile.

Seleucid IV froze on the spot and didn't speak for a long time.

As the crown prince, how could he not understand what Opela said.

The Seleucid Kingdom could not be established. For hundreds of years, the foundation of rule has not been stable to begin with.

Many remote places have become too weak to lose after losing consecutive battles.

If you are not careful, you will be divided again like the Kingdom of Parthia and Bactria.

Moreover , The voices of the surrender faction in the country are not quiet at all.

I originally thought that Da Qin would be more promising than Rome, but now it seems that although Da Qin is more civilized, it only targets Da Qin's own people.

When it comes to foreign lands, it is even more domineering than Rome..

However, the Qin Dynasty had no old grudges with Seleucus.

The Romans, however, had a blood feud with Seleucus.

But after all, he was the crown prince and was used to being aloof. It was still very embarrassing for him to personally say that he would be a vassal and pay tribute for protection. It was embarrassing.

After a long time, Seleucus IV said in a hoarse voice:"We still have half a million elite troops and countless wealth in the capital Antioch. We still have hope!"

"But we failed when we had an army of millions before. Can a makeshift 500,000 people really stop the barbaric Romans?"

"As for the wealth of Antioch, it is very rich, but if it is captured, it will belong to the Romans, not us."

Opela mercilessly exposed the illusion of Seleucus IV.

"But can Qin really defeat the terrible Romans?"

Seleucus IV was still gritting his teeth and struggling.

"The record of Great Qin has spoken for itself. Whether it is the barbaric Huns or the terrifying Dayue clan, they have all become the souls of Great Qin’s cavalry."

"The Donghu people who defeated the Maurya Dynasty were completely the eagle dogs of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Moreover, His Highness has personally seen how terrifying the Great Qin Navy is. The Romans are definitely no match."

"Even if the Qin Dynasty had difficulty adapting to the expedition of thousands of miles, it could at least fight the Romans and both sides would suffer losses."

Seleucid IV nodded. He had witnessed with his own eyes the strength of the Donghu cavalry and the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin Navy.

"And although Great Qin is powerful, it is still too far away from Seleucid and Rome."

"We can first pay tribute and pray for the protection of Qin, and at least we can survive first!"

"It would be best to be married to His Royal Highness, as the people say, as it would be an extra layer of security!"

"If that doesn't work, you can still cede some land!"

"It is better than destroying the country!"

"And although our Seleucid Kingdom is not as good as before, it is still an influential kingdom in the surrounding area. I believe that Great Qin can also use us!"

"The most important thing is that we have no choice but Da Qin!"
