208 B.C., early May.
The Great Qin Empire's Western Conquest General Li Siye had sent 100,000 troops from Rome, with the help of the Wudangfei Army.
They successfully crossed the western Alps and headed straight for the Iberian Peninsula.
He ordered Yang Zaixing to lead 50,000 Iron Eagle soldiers to guard the Pyrenees Mountains and cut off the connection between the Ibian Celts and the Gaul Celts.
General Yue Yun led 50,000 Macedonians to sweep across the entire Peninsula region, and nearly a million Ibian Celts declared their submission.
In the same month.
Anxi General Ran Min led 100,000 troops to beg for survival and attacked from the plains of Eastern Europe.
It was mighty and invincible.
The three million Germanic people in the entire Bode Plains were terrified.
The Greek general Gao Changgong led 100,000 Lanling troops north along the Danube River and entered Gaul from the eastern Alps.
Cooperate with the Wudang Flying Army to encircle and suppress the Gauls.
In just a month, they had subdued more than two million Gaul Celts.
The navy commander Zhou Yu was not idle either. Ever since he annexed the navy of the Tolemy Dynasty, his strength had soared.
Under his command, an expedition fleet of up to 100,000 people and thousands of warships set off from the Mediterranean Sea.
They went north through the Strait of Buffalo, resupplied at the Bay of Biscay, and landed directly on the British Isles.
They subdued more than a million British Celts and indigenous people.
The three-month-long war in Europe had come to an end, and Great Qin had unified the entire European region.
.........
June 4th.
The New Qin Empire held a grand court meeting.
All the officials gathered in the main hall of Taiji Palace.
"My lords."
"The Far West has just been pacified. Is everything ready?”
Sitting on the Emperor's Throne and looking down, Ying Fei revealed his true dragon form.
This King of Qin had only been on the throne for half a year, but his power was no less than the First Emperor's.
An ordinary official would feel his entire body tremble at the sight of him.
"Your Majesty."
"After discussing with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue.”
"Then I report to the king that the Far West is vast and boundless, and the population is sparse.”
"However, Western Europe is a mountainous region, so it's not suitable to expand.”
"Now, the Iberian Celts and the Gaul Celts have surrendered one after another, with nearly four million people.”
"We should set up a state with ten counties, with Rome as the state city to govern Iberia and Gaul.”
"The Balkans are connected to Asia Minor and are densely populated. There are no less than eight million people.”
"I request that the people of Macedon, Thrace, Greece, and Pergamon be moved to the Poder Plain.”
"Move a million Germans to live in the lower reaches of the Danube basin.”
"In this case, we can include the Balkans into the Ancient State and establish a state in the Poder Plains.”
"North of the Great Caucasus Mountains, the plains of Eastern Europe are suitable for grazing and farming.”
"I request that the Anxi, Selyugu, Sogdians, Germanic, and Slavs live together and form a state.”
"The governor of Yizhou, Xin Qiji, reported a few days ago that the Yizhou Guards were heading west from Kushi and discovered a huge basin.”
"The navy commander sent the navy to search and found a river in West Africa. To the east is the Yizhou Basin.”
"I request that the people of Carthage and the Celts expand this place and establish a state.”
"The original Carthage region will be established as a county and will be under the jurisdiction of Luo Zhou.”
"In addition, there are also the British Isles. They are overseas and the land is small. It is not suitable to set up a state.”
"Navy Commander Zhou Yu requests a royal edict to establish a naval base in the British Isles.”
Left Prime Minister Liu Bowen immediately reported.
Hearing this.
Ying Fei immediately knew.
The governor of Yizhou, Xin Qiji, should have discovered the Chadian Basin.
As for the navy commander Zhou Yu, he should have found the River Niger.
Apart from the Mediterranean region in the north, most of Africa was covered by the Sahara Desert.
In contrast, West Africa, Central Africa, and even South Africa had vast basins, forests, and grasslands.
Moreover, there were also a large number of aborigines living there, with a population of at least ten million.
"Your Majesty."
"I have something to report."
At this moment.
Right Prime Minister Fang Xuanling also said.
"Yes."
Ying Fei waved his hand and said indifferently.
"After discussing with the Bureau of Military Personnel and the Five Armies, I discovered that Great Qin has 25 million people.”
"There are millions of people under each state, but the state guards only have twelve thousand people. It's far from enough to maintain local security.”
"In addition, there are 10,000 households in the upper counties, 8,000 households in the middle counties, and 5,000 households in the lower counties.”
"A prefecture with five counties has at least dozens or even hundreds of counties under its jurisdiction.”
"I request to increase the establishment of a prefecture-level administrative organization to divide the local powers.”
Right Prime Minister Fang Xuanling's suggestion received the approval of most of the people present.
Using the Central Plains as a model, the land of the six states plus Lingnan and Guanzhong only had 30 million people. The first emperor had set up 49 prefectures, which was far from enough to meet the demand.
Especially in the south, it was vast and sparsely populated. Often, a county was equivalent to several counties in the north.
Once there was a rebellion, the Qin army would not be able to react quickly in a short period of time.
This flaw was completely exposed through Huhai's reign.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
Hearing this, Ying Fei knocked on the table.
Then, he stood up and looked down at the officials. He said indifferently,
"What the Left and Right Prime Ministers said can be put together.”
"This place is too big and has too many people.”
"I don't think there's a problem with the three-level system of prefectures and counties. The biggest problem is that the population is too dense.”
"Edict: Change Cairo to Bianliang and list it as Luozhou.”
"Luo State governs Carthage, Ptolemy, and the old land of Nabatai, namely North Africa, Egypt, and the Arabian Peninsula.”
"Set up the Luo Prefecture Governor and Prefecture Lieutenant. Shi Tao will be the Luo Prefecture Governor and He Qi will be the Prefecture Lieutenant.”
"Move 1.5 million Carthaginian and 1 million Ptolemaic to the newly discovered territory of the navy.”
"Name that river the Yi River, and the basin the Yizhou Basin.”
"We will choose a location in the Yizhou Basin to build a large city. It will be called Jiankang and will be the governor of Yizhou.”
"The entire region will become the Yi Prefecture. I will appoint Cui Jun as the governor of Yi Prefecture and Xin Qiji as the prefecture lieutenant.”
"Move a million Macedonians, 500,000 Hellenians, and a million Selucians to the Pod Plains.”
"Build a big city on the Danube River. It will be Luoyang and will be under the jurisdiction of Jia Prefecture.”
"The British Isles, the Iberian Peninsula, Gaul, the Balkans, and Rome will all be included in the state.”
"Tian Feng will be the governor of Jia Province, and Lu Zhi will be the governor.”
"Bode Plain will build a big city for Lin 'an, and it will be listed as the Gu Prefecture.”
"Meng Jian will be the governor of Gu Province, and Lu Su will be the governor.”
" Move a million Seljuks and a million Parthians into the plains of Eastern Europe.”
"Build a large city on the plains of Eastern Europe. It will be called Ye City and will be the administrative city of Na Province.”
"Li Ru will be the governor of Na Prefecture, and Huang Pusong will be the governor of Na Prefecture.”
"The original jurisdiction of An State has been expanded to Transcaucasian and Asia Minor.”
"Appoint Fei Yi as the governor of An Prefecture, and Bu Jiu as the prefecture lieutenant.”
"Yes."
The attendant at the side kept writing on the yellow silk, recording Ying Fei's words.
In just a short moment.
The entire region under the rule of New Qin was completely divided.
The six states of New Qin and the Zhili region each governed about three million people, and the Zhili region had close to three million people.
In the Central Plains, this was already considered a vast area with few people. However, the division of each region was especially good.
Even Rozhou, which seemed to be the most barren on the surface, had rich areas along the Mediterranean coast of North Africa and the upper and middle reaches of the Nile River.
There was no need to talk about the other provinces. In time, these regions could at least feed hundreds of millions of people.
In less than 300 years, the entire European region would become a prosperous place under the rule of the New Qin Empire.
