"I've already waited four years for the matter of returning to the east. I don't want to wait any longer.”
"The Central Plains and the Nine States are in turmoil.”
"This is the best time for us to clean up the problem and rebuild Great Qin.”
Ying Fei said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.
He raised his hands and feet, displaying the majesty of a king.
"Your Majesty."
"Of course it's important to return to the east," said Right Prime Minister Fang Xuanling bitterly.”
"But now, the Four Prefectures of West Earth have just been pacified.”
"Compared to the Central Plains, West Earth is our true foundation.”
"At this time, it is not wise to give up the foundation of West Earth and head to the Central Plains.”
"The journey in the middle is even longer. Whether it's rations or morale, it's a major problem.”
The area between West Earth and the Central Plains wasn't an endless prairie.
Instead, it was the interweaving of highlands, mountains, deserts, and Gobi.
In the past, they had traveled through the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, Tianshan, and the Tulan Lowlands, directly reaching the Yilang Plateau and taking down the Yue Clan and the Old Land of Rest.
However, things were different now. The Tulan Lowland was guarded by Kangju, and the western part of the Yilang Plateau was guarded by Great Xia.
Neither of the two characters were compatible.
If the Qin army wanted to return to the east, they would have to destroy Kangju and Great Xia first.
In the Far West region, Rome, Carthage, and other countries were still restless, and the new Qin Empire had enemies everywhere.
"Brother Xuanling is right."
"Your Majesty, if the army wants to return to the city, rations are of utmost importance.”
"Moreover, we haven't returned to the Central Plains for many years, so we don't know the exact situation along the way.”
"No one can guarantee how much danger is hidden in this.”
"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
Minister of Revenue Pei Ju advised.
Good fellow!
It was not just a small number of people returning, but at least hundreds of thousands of troops.
Hundreds of thousands of people had returned to the east and traveled thousands of miles. Just the food and drink alone was enough to tear apart the treasury of the New Qin Dynasty.
Needless to say, the Qin army had to deal with two Central Asian countries on their way back.
Kangju and Great Xia had at least a million people and over a hundred thousand soldiers. With the two of them working together, how could they be wiped out so easily?
Hearing this.
Ying Fei looked at the officials present.
Although the other civil officials did not speak, their expressions betrayed them. It was obvious that they did not want to return to the east so soon.
On the contrary, the generals were eager to give it a try.
He continued,"
"Firstly, the journey is long and it is inconvenient to bring many armies. I will only bring the Western Liang Army back to the east.”
"Secondly, three months ago, the Duke of Liang sent three thousand Yue Clan cavalrymen to Qinghai Prefecture.”
"Thirdly, Great Xia and Kangju must be destroyed, whether it is for the return to the east or for the stability of West Earth.”
"Before that, there are still countries in the Far West that have yet to be pacified.”
"Men, bring in Tolemy IV.”
"Yes."
Before the officials could react.
A servant left the hall and soon came in with a pale-faced middle-aged man with short beard, curly hair, and deep brown eyes.
If they didn't know that he was the king of the Ptolemy Dynasty, they might really treat this middle-aged man in ragged clothes as a beggar.
Ptolemy IV, the main culprit behind the fall of the Ptolemy Dynasty.
He had been indulging in debauchery all his life, indulging in wine and pleasure, and was completely surrounded by sycophants.
He killed his family, his mother, a few brothers, his uncle, and perhaps his wife.
Under his rule, the Ptolemaic Dynasty lost all its overseas territories, leaving only Egypt and a small part of the Arabian Peninsula.
However, this did not deny the power of the Ptolemy Dynasty on the entire Mediterranean coast.
The black Egyptians, Galatians, Messians, Arabs, Carthaginians, and even the Romanians all respected Ptolemy.
That was because Ptolemy had built a huge fleet that roamed the Mediterranean all day long.
And the Tolemy Dynasty had shown an unprecedented weakness in their battle against the new Qin.
The Minister of War, Fa Zheng, had only brought 50,000 North Manor Army soldiers to take down Alexander, the capital city of Tolemy.
Captured King Ptolemy IV, Queen Arsinoy III, and all the ministers and nobles.
Compared to the Seljuk, Parthia, and Pergamon Kings, Ptolemy IV was considered luckier.
Fa Zheng sent them all to Chang 'an, and Ying Fei ordered them to stay in a manor west of the Imperial City. They were not killed.
"Respected King Qin, your loyal servant sends you the most noble greetings!”
As soon as he entered the main hall, Tolemy IV immediately went forward and knelt on the ground, revealing a flattering expression.
This scene stunned all the important officials of New Qin. How could the dignified ruler of a country be like this?
Only Ying Fei's expression didn't change. He glanced at Tolemy IV and said,"
"I asked you to come over today because I have something to say.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Tolemy IV's expression became extremely excited, and he quickly declared,""Respected King Qin."
"Your most loyal servant is willing to do anything for you.”
To Ptolemy IV, dignity was not important. The most important thing was to live.
As long as he could prove that he was still useful, Ying Fei wouldn't kill him.
In fact.
The reason why he kept him was because Ptolemy had been rooted in Egypt for many years and had a deep influence.
The people of the various races did not dislike the Tolemy royal family too much. On the contrary, they were extremely respectful.
Once he was killed, it was very likely that the people of Tolemy would start a riot.
This was because the Ptolemaic royal family implemented a theocratic system in Egypt.
For many years, the local people had worshipped the Ptolemaic royal family as a god.
Such blind faith was the most terrifying thing.
"I'll give you a chance."
Looking down at Tolemy IV, Ying Fei said indifferently,""Go and announce to the people of Tolemy that they used to believe in false gods.”
"From today onwards, the two banks of the Nile will worship a new god, Warlock Saint Shang Yang.”
"There's no stopping the advance of the venerable Dharma."
"What?"
Hearing this, Tolemy IV's expression became extremely panicked.
How could this be?
If he personally announced to the people that they had previously believed in false gods, wouldn't that be telling everyone that the Ptolemaic royal family had woven a huge lie to deceive the people?
At that time, the reputation of the Ptolemaic royal family in the Nile Valley would completely disappear.
Even the people of the various races would treat them as liars and shameless people.
As a result, the Nile River basin was truly separated from the Ptolemaic royal family.
More than a hundred years of the Ptolemy royal family's rule would be destroyed.
