Chapter 109: News from Far Away (3)

Hearing Xiaoman's question, Wei Chimu already understood what she wanted to know, so she said: "Prince Xuanyuan has been ordered by Emperor Xuanyuan in the past two years to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and he has indeed put forward many favorable policies in terms of people's livelihood. In terms of military training, it seems that 50,000 cavalry have been secretly trained, and a master who is familiar with the art of the Five Elements Bagua has been invited to widely practice the art of arranging formations in the army. ”

"What is the strength of Yasukuni now?" Xiao Man had a worry on his face that could not be concealed.

"I am known for my cavalry, and in the past two years the number of iron cavalry has increased to 150,000, and the number of infantry has also increased to 200,000. Although he said these things to Xiaoman, as if he was reporting to Xiaoman, Wei Chimu did not care or hesitate.

Since ancient times, women should not be in charge of these national affairs, even the major affairs of the family are also in the hands of men, and women can only take care of the small things in the house. But he knows Xiaoman's intelligence, and he knows that she is not only smart, but also understands many things that people at this time don't know, which is definitely very beneficial to Dajing both politically and militarily, so when she asks about these state affairs, he will not hide it from her.

"There are so many troops?" This number really surprised Xiao Man, but he quickly calmed down, glanced at Wei Chi Mu with a smile, and said, "It seems that it is all the credit of the husband." ”

Wei Chi Mu sat on the throne for two years, it can be said that he worked hard, whether it was the people's livelihood, economy or military strength, it was much higher than when his father was on the throne, and it was precisely because of such an effect that he dared to abdicate and hand over the throne to his seventh brother Wei Chi Jing.

Wei Chimu smiled silently at Xiaoman's praise, but the pride in his expression could not be hidden.

"In the past, the Shengxing Dynasty was larger than Jing and Ning in the Three Kingdoms, and although it was not as good as Dajing militarily, it had more troops than Jing. Three years ago, there were 500,000 troops, and now that Ning has become its vassal, I am afraid that the army has also been integrated. Although Xiao Man did not pay much attention to the affairs of the Shengxing Dynasty in the past two years, he still came to such a guess based on what he knew.

And her guess is not wrong, since Ning Guo became a vassal state of the Shengxing Dynasty, the Shengxing Dynasty did not allow Ning Guo to have the same troops as before, and there were still a few troops, but it was only enough for the capital of Ning Kingdom and various places to defend against some local turmoil, and the combined strength of the entire Ning Kingdom was even less than 100,000.

The Shengxing Dynasty incorporated the old forces of the Ning Kingdom, making the original 500,000 troops suddenly become 700,000!

"You are right, after the Shengxing Dynasty incorporated the old forces of the Ning Kingdom, the number of infantry has reached more than 600,000, plus 50,000 cavalry, the total has reached 700,000. This is also the reason why he received the news from the Shadow Pavilion Branch, and his face was heavy.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanyuan, although he also had the ambition of unifying the three kingdoms, he was afraid of Yasukuni's iron cavalry, and Emperor Xuanyuan was quite superstitious, thinking that Xiaoman, the star of the heavenly machine, was obtained by Yasukuni, and it was very unfavorable for them to send troops to Yasukuni, so he did not dare to attack rashly.

Moreover, since they had signed a five-year pact of non-aggression against each other, with Emperor Xuanyuan's personality, he was not completely sure, and he would not dare to attack Yasukuni.

But now it's different.

In the past two years, Wei Chi Mu has not relaxed for a moment towards the Shengxing Dynasty, and even sent many members of the Shadow Pavilion to the Shengxing Dynasty, the purpose of which is to monitor the actions of Xuanyuan Yu, the crown prince of the Shengxing Dynasty.

Since he and Xiaoman lobbied Emperor Xuanyuan to sign a five-year non-aggression agreement without spending a single soldier, he saw that Xuanyuan Yu was wrong.

Xuanyuan Yu was already unhappy with Xiao Man's deception that she was a Tianji Star, and what happened later made the prince feel that he was inferior to his sister and his heart was twisted.

Yu Chimu has always been afraid that Xuanyuan Yu will be unfavorable to Xiaoman, so since then, people have been paying attention to the Shengxing Dynasty and Xuanyuan Yu. (To be continued.) )
