The Thirty-Six Countries of the Western Region
"As such, Great Qin's army needs to learn how to find water to ensure that Great Qin's army can fight. As for how to find a water source, he could ask the local people.”Zhang Liang said.
"Sir, Fusu has a question." Eldest Young Master Fusu stepped forward and said.
"Please ask, Young Master." Zhang Liang replied.
"Earlier, Sir said that there are many countries here. How many countries are there? What about their national strength?" Eldest Young Master Fu Su asked.
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment and said," The countries here might not be called countries. They should be called cities. Every so-called country is just a city and some affiliated villages around it. Among them, the stronger countries have more cities and more affiliated villages."”
"Although it is difficult for the people to survive here, the many businesses and trades of the countries here are more prosperous, and the wealth contained in them is also more abundant.”
"There are a total of thirty-six countries that can be considered powerful here, so the common people also call this area the 'Thirty-six Countries of the Western Region'. Seven of them are very prosperous, and their national strength far exceeds that of the other countries.”
"The seven strongest countries of the Western Regions are Shan, Gui, Tian, Yan, Qi, Shache, and Shu-lik.”
"Shanshan is also known as the Loulan Kingdom. It is 6,100 miles away from Chang 'an. There are more than 1,570 households, a population of more than 14,100, and an army of 2,912. The land is sandy and salty, and there are few fields. The fields are placed in neighboring countries. There are many beautiful jade in the country, and the people follow the livestock to chase water and grass. There are donkeys and horses, many camels, and they can be used as soldiers.”
"The Qiuci Kingdom is 7,400 li away from Xianyang. There are 6,970 households, a population of 81,317, and an army of 21,376.”
"The Kingdom of Khotan is 9,600 li away from Xianyang. There are more than 3,300 households, a population of more than 19,300, and an army of 2,400. To the west of Khotan, the water flows westward and flows into the West Sea. To the east of it, the water flows eastward into the salt marsh, where the Yellow River originates. There are many jade stones."
"The Yanqi Kingdom is 7,200 li away from Xianyang. There are more than 4,000 households, a population of 32,100, and an army of 6,000. There are many fish in the coastal waters."
"The Shache Kingdom is nine thousand eight hundred and eighty li away from Xianyang. There are more than two thousand three hundred and thirty-nine households, a population of sixteen thousand three hundred and seventy-three, and an army of three thousand and forty-nine. Iron Mountain produces green jade."
"Shu-lik is nine thousand two hundred and eighty li away from Xianyang. There are more than one thousand five hundred and ten households, a population of eighteen thousand six hundred and forty-seven, and an army of two thousand. It can be considered an important commercial area in the Western Regions."
"This is some information about the seven strongest countries in the Western Regions. At the same time, there is a country in the Western Regions called the Dayuan Kingdom. There is a good breed of horses called Ferghana Horses in the country. When this breed of horses runs and sweats, their bodies are as red as blood, which is why they are called Ferghana Horses.”
"Ferghana Horses have thin heads, tall necks, slender limbs, thin skin, light steps, great strength, fast speed, and strong endurance.”
Great Qin had been given this land because it had helped the Zhou Emperor raise horses, and a good warhorse was at least 30% more important to a soldier's battle prowess. As such, when Zhang Liang mentioned the Ferghana Horse, Great Qin ignored the civil officials and only looked at Zhang Liang with burning gazes, wanting to swallow him whole.
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was no exception, but he looked at the generals of Great Qin surrounding Zhang Liang and said,""Alright, Generals. After we conquer the Dayuan Kingdom, everyone will have Ferghana Horses.”
"Zhang Liang, do you have anything else to say about the 36 kingdoms of the Western Regions?”Qin Shi Huang asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have a question that I wonder if Your Majesty can answer. This matter concerns the conquest of the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions.”Zhang Liang said.
"Oh, it's about conquering the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions.”Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if the Yin-Yang School of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy has submitted to Great Qin?”Zhang Liang asked. This question was not only about conquering the 36 Kingdoms of the Western Regions, but also about whether he had arrived at Great Qin.
"Yin-Yang School? Yes, the Yin-Yang School had already submitted to Great Qin. Great Qin's Imperial Advisor was the Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School.”Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, did not know what Zhang Liang's question meant, but he still told Zhang Liang about the situation.
After hearing that it was indeed the Great Qin from the Legend of Qin, Zhang Liang was completely relieved. The Great Qin from the Legend of Qin could be considered a Mid Level Martial World. There were powerful swordsmen, mysterious Yin Yang Mantra Seals, and godly mechanisms. With this, Zhang Liang could carry out many things.
"Your Majesty, there is a mysterious country in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions called the Jingjue Country. It is rumored that the leader of this country is a woman called the Queen of Jingjue.”
"Queen Jing Jue has a mysterious pearl that can take people's souls. At the same time, Queen Jing Jue can also control a two-headed snake. This snake is extremely poisonous, and those bitten will die on the spot. At the same time, this snake has a tenacious vitality, and even if its head is cut off, it can still attack humans and animals.”
"I'm afraid that the Yin-Yang School will be needed to conquer the Jingjue Country.”
"Is that so? Interesting, a woman can actually rule a country. I want to see this queen.”Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, said with great interest.
"Is there anything else I need to pay attention to about other countries?”
"Your Majesty, there's nothing else that we need to pay attention to in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions except for the few countries we just met, the weather, and the water sources."”
After hearing this, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng looked at 'The World', and said,""Then where are the two places that you have circled to the west of the 36 kingdoms of the Western Regions?”
Zhang Liang turned around and said," Your Majesty, the place next to the 36 Kingdoms of the Western Regions is the Parthia Empire. This is because this country is a religious country, and it is very resistant to outsiders who do not believe in the same religion. This commoner does not have much information to say, but he only knows that the Parthia Empire's overall strength might not be comparable to Great Qin's, but the entire country believes in the same religion, and its army is very powerful. It cannot be underestimated.”
"Oh, is that so? Then what empire was the westernmost? There was actually such a huge lake in the middle of the country?”After hearing that Zhang Liang did not have any information about the Parthia Empire, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the westernmost part of the world. There was a place that was circled, and it contained a huge lake.
