Your Majesty, do not attack Rome yet, or the Qin Dynasty will perish!

"Da da da, da da da!"

Just as cheers and jubilation erupted below the altar, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Everyone's expression hardened; the sound of horses' hooves in this setting was never a good thing.

"The Western Navy has announced a victory!"

"The Romans and Carthaginians presented a letter of surrender, expressing their willingness to submit to the Great Qin."

A Qin soldier galloped in, dismounted at the foot of the altar, and his loud voice echoed in all directions.

Followed by.

One after another, Qin army messengers appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Victory reported from Lub, Egypt!"

"The Libyans, Masaris, Sudanese, Busumis, and Kushites submit a letter of surrender, pledging allegiance to the Great Qin!"

"The province of Thrace, Lub, reports a victory!"

"The Orisos, Gaetes, Dacians, Melankraynois, and Scythians submit a letter of surrender, pledging allegiance to the Great Qin!"

"The Greek province of Lub reports a victory!"

"The Paonians, Dardanelles, Skoceses, and Illyrians submit a letter of surrender, pledging allegiance to the Great Qin!"

"Victory reported from Lub, Armenia province!"

"The Hereth, Sarmatians, and Thessagates have submitted their surrender documents, pledging allegiance to the Great Qin!"

boom!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

The barbarian tribes of North Africa, the Caucasus, the Black Sea coast, and Southern Europe willingly submitted to the Qin Dynasty.

Moreover, both Rome and Carthage, the two dominant powers of the western Mediterranean, declared their submission.

The envoys from various countries present were horrified, which meant that the Qin Dynasty had a greater influence than the Macedonian Empire.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ying Xuan burst into laughter, cheering repeatedly, feeling more joyful than ever before.

"May Heaven bless Your Majesty! May the Great Qin Dynasty last ten thousand years!"

The Chamberlain Fa Zheng's eyes flickered, and he shouted loudly.

"May Heaven bless Your Majesty! May the Great Qin Dynasty last ten thousand years!"

"May Heaven bless Your Majesty! May the Great Qin Dynasty last ten thousand years!"

Civil and military officials, soldiers, and common people all echoed his sentiments and raised their arms in celebration.

In an instant, the sound shook the heavens and the name of the Great Qin resounded throughout the world and deeply penetrated people's hearts.

"end!!!"

Looking down, Ying Xuan coldly shouted.

"His Majesty has ordered: Ceasefire!"

"His Majesty has ordered: Ceasefire!"

"His Majesty has ordered: Ceasefire!"

The voices of the servants echoed along the banks of the Euphrates River.

All sounds ceased abruptly, and pairs of eyes were fixed on Emperor Ying Xuan of Qin on the altar.

"I know that the western lands have been ravaged by war for a long time, the fields are barren, and the people cannot live in peace."

"Therefore, an imperial edict is issued today: all ten provinces of the Western Regions shall be exempt from taxes for three years."

Wow!!!

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

The local officials of the Western Continent were all deeply moved.

The exemption from taxes for three years was an unprecedented act of grace.

It should be noted that the Qin Dynasty was different from the Macedonian Empire, where all taxes were collected by the government at fixed rates.

The king's word is witnessed by heaven and earth. This means that the 15 million people of the ten provinces of Xizhou will not have to worry about paying taxes for the next three years. They only need to work hard in the fields to live a life where they are well-fed and clothed.

"On behalf of the fifteen million people of Xizhou, I thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!"

Jiang Wan, the governor-general of the Lianghe Province, was the first to step forward.

"On behalf of the fifteen million people of Xizhou, I thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!"

"On behalf of the fifteen million people of Xizhou, I thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!"

"........."

Governors Zhang Xun, Yu Yunwen, and others echoed in unison.

The civil and military officials were even more shocked. Once this edict was issued to all parts of Xizhou, the people would surely be won over.

The Qin Dynasty's conquest of the Western Continent and the destruction of its kingdoms yielded enough profits to support the Western Continent's military and civilian population for decades.

Let alone three years of taxation, it wouldn't matter even if taxes were not collected for ten years. This approach is truly commendable.

No monarch in the Central Plains could compare to him!

...............

After the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven concluded, Ying Xuan returned to Chang'an with his civil and military officials.

At this time, Chang'an was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the people were overjoyed, all delighted by the imperial edict.

Just as the ministers had predicted, the influence of the coronation ceremony had begun to spread from Chang'an to the Western Regions and even to North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia.

The emperor hosted a banquet in Weiyang Palace to entertain officials and envoys from various countries, with palace maids and eunuchs coming and going in an endless stream.

The imperial throne on the high platform was empty, because Ying Xuan had gone to change his clothes.

The envoys from various countries frequently cast their gazes toward the imperial throne, each one looking uneasy and hesitant.

"The power of the Qin Dynasty is like that of tigers and wolves, fierce and tyrannical."

"What should we do?"

The Parthian envoy spoke nervously.

"Truly a great power in the East, unparalleled."

The Mauryan envoy surveyed the surrounding palace layout with astonishment.

Even the most inconspicuous palace maids and eunuchs exuded a strong sense of confidence.

He had no doubt that these people looked down on him, an envoy from the largest country in South Asia.

Such demeanor and bearing were unprecedented even in the former Macedonian Empire, and perhaps even Alexander the Great did not possess the unparalleled elegance of the Qin Emperor.

"Great Zeus!"

"Please guide your humblest servant, what should be done for the Kingdom of Bactria?"

The envoy from Great Xia closed his eyes and silently recited in his heart.

The rulers of the Macedonian Empire worshipped the twelve Olympian gods, especially Zeus, the king of the gods.

Bactria, like the Seleucids, Ptolemy, and Antigonus, was a successor to the Macedonian Empire.

"You shameless traitors should naturally have something to worry about."

The envoys from the Indian-Greek Federation, standing to the side, looked at the envoys from Bactria and the Mauryan Empire and frequently let out cold laughs.

The Greek-Indian Federation consists of city-states established by the descendants of Greeks and Macedonians who remained in northwestern South Asia after Alexander's eastward conquests.

In the past, when the Mauryan Empire wanted to conquer them, the Bactrian Kingdom not only refused to help but also tried to take advantage of their predicament.

After all, the Bactrian Kingdom lived in the barren mountains of Central Asia (present-day Afghanistan), while the Greek-Indian Commonwealth occupied the source of the Indus River, a fertile and flat land with convenient irrigation.

"Are you going to betray the great Zeus?"

The Xia envoy angrily questioned him.

"hehe."

The Indian envoy to the Greek Federation mocked, "You do not represent the great Zeus."

"The Macedonian Empire is a thing of the past."

"I advise you to be sensible."

"Do you really think the Emperor of Qin was unaware of what you've done?"

'Thump!'

The envoys from Daxia, Parthia, and Kangju froze.

The envoy from the Mauryan Dynasty sized up the group, a smirk playing on his lips, as if he were about to reap the benefits.

The captured kings and tribal leaders sat on the other side, indifferent to the fact that it was none of their business.

"These barbarians are ignorant of etiquette!"

Inside the hall, all the civil and military officials noticed the infighting among the envoys from various countries and showed expressions of disdain.

If the most important thing for the Great Qin right now wasn't returning east to quell the rebellion, how could it allow these clowns to jump around like that?

Bactria, Kangju, and Parthia are all obstacles on the way back to the East, and they must be resolved.

The Mauryan Empire was exhausted, yet it occupied such a vast territory, wasting its resources.

Compared to immigrating to the West, immigrating to South Asia is actually more convenient.

In the eyes of the Qin court officials, these guys were all lambs to the slaughter.
