In view of the current strength of the Eastern Alliance, Bai Feng can roughly understand the strength of the Werther tribe and the Luxi tribe, and with the strength of the Dat tribe being only stronger than Rome City, they are only the top three of the eighteen tribes of the Eastern Alliance.

This shows that there are two powerful tribes within the Eastern Alliance that are not inferior to the Dat tribe, and after the loss of 50,000 troops in the southern invasion war, the Dat tribe can still pull out more than 100,000 troops, what does this mean?

This means that the three most powerful tribes of the Eastern Alliance can pull out more than 400,000 troops, plus the other fifteen tribes that are not weak, the total strength of the Eastern Alliance is definitely impossible to be less than 700,000!

Even if all these 700,000 troops could not be used in the war between the Eastern Alliance and the Luxi tribe, judging from the situation of the various tribes of the Eastern Alliance urgently shrinking their forces, the strength of the Luxi tribe is definitely only stronger than that of the Eastern Alliance.

And how far can the Werther tribe and the Essini tribe, which can be called the three overlord tribes in the eastern region along with the Luxi tribe? This is why Bai Feng has been trying his best to avoid provoking the southern Werther tribe, because the city of Rome can't defeat people!

In fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking about this problem of strength, first of all, the barbarian tribes are basically a social life model in which all the people are soldiers, and the vast majority of the adult young and strong are warriors of the barbarian tribes, and only about one-third of the young and strong will be excluded from the warriors.

In addition, the strength of Queen Boudicca also proves everything, as one of the seven forces after the Aceni tribe was divided, Queen Boudicca was forced to move west with more than 50,000 warriors and 10,000 elite cavalry left.

From this perspective alone, Bai Feng knew the strength of the other six forces of the Aceni tribe, and frankly speaking, if the other six forces of the Essini tribe were united, the army of the city of Rome would not have the slightest chance of conquering the Essini tribe.

But their current situation of independence and conquest gave the city of Rome a chance, as long as Bai Feng could ensure that the area where the city of Rome was located had no worries, he could mobilize a large army to conquer the Essini tribe under the banner of Queen Boudicca.

In terms of the current situation of the city of Rome, there are only two things to completely eliminate the worries of the future: first, how to prevent the southern invasion of the Eastern Alliance, and second, how to ensure that the five small towns directly under the city of Rome will not be moved.

These two problems are not difficult to solve, at least Bai Feng has the solution he has already thought of in his heart, the reality that more than half of this month has passed and there is not much treasury funds left, so Bai Feng can only sit in the city of Rome and stay up for time and cultivate hard.

As long as this month passes and the new month comes, Bai Feng will have the means to completely solve the problems of these two aspects of the Roman City; the first is to prevent the Eastern Alliance from attacking southward, and the solution to this problem is very simple, that is, to form a strong Roman fleet.

According to Bai Feng's prediction, as long as there was a fleet of ten twin warships to protect the south bank of the Cangluo River, no matter how powerful the Eastern Alliance army was, it would be impossible to cross the Cangluo River to the south bank, and the left flank tributary of the Cangluo River would become the safest natural barrier in the city of Rome.

Now the fleet of Rome City already has three double battleships, and as soon as they arrive at Baifeng next month, they will immediately recruit seven more double battleships, and then the Eastern Alliance will no longer be a threat to Roman City, and this problem will naturally no longer exist.

The solution to the second problem was also carefully thought out by Bai Feng, which was mainly divided into two steps: after the Tuntian Legions in Huobulo Town and Vasco Town were established, Bai Feng planned to rotate the five Tuntian Legions.

The 1st Tuntian Legion, which is most loyal to Rome, will be transferred to Hobulo, the 2nd Tuntian Legion will be transferred to Vasco, and the newly formed 4th and 5th Tuntian Legions will be transferred to the town near Rome.

However, this is only the first step of Bai Feng, and the more important step is the second step, which is to use the systematic army of Roman City to garrison the five towns inhabited by barbarians, and prevent anything from happening in these five towns that are not under the control of Roman City.

At present, the rule of Rome over these five towns is mainly maintained by tax collectors, tribunes, and patrol guards, the former two of which have no need to say much, but the latter have a very limited role, and how can a patrol of 100 men manage a population of nearly 100,000?

Deeply aware of the instability of this mode of rule, Bai Feng decided to send a small number of systematic troops to each town to formally form the town's garrison guards, such as the newly established town of Hobulo, and the city of Rome would form a Hobulo guard to be stationed in the town of Hoburo.

And this Huobulo Guard will be composed of a Roman youth army and two groups of town militia, and the combat effectiveness of nearly 500 system soldiers is not comparable to that of ordinary barbarian youth, and it can definitely suppress the small town people mainly composed of old and weak women and children.

At this time, there are only three teams of town militia available for Roman City, and in order to form all five town guards, Bai Feng also needs to recruit five teams of Roman youth army and seven teams of town militia, which requires a total of 3,250 gold, and it also costs 3,150 gold to recruit seven double battleships.

Generally speaking, if Bai Feng wants to completely solve the worries of marching to the east bank of the Cangluo River, he must spend 6,400 gold of treasury funds, and considering the cruel reality of spending 2,000 gold to buy grain next month, this is 8,400 gold of treasury funds.

Now that the time has entered August, there are more and more system troops to be recruited in Rome City, and by the end of the year, Bai Feng will have to pay for the maintenance of all system armies at one time, and then it will be a huge amount of money.

It is no exaggeration to say that Bai Feng's Roman City is one step away from bankruptcy in terms of treasury funds, and if he doesn't hurry up and find a way to save some treasury funds, I'm afraid that by the end of the year, his Roman City will really go bankrupt.

Bai Feng, who likes to take precautions, didn't expect that he would be forced to get by by reality, I hope that the effect of Tuntian can meet his expectations, otherwise Bai Feng really doesn't know how to deal with the next changes in the situation.

Because the lack of food in the forces of Rome City has seriously affected the development speed of Rome City, and Bai Feng is powerless about it, he can't really let those barbarian people who can't feed themselves starve to death like this, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of barbarian armies in Rome City will fall apart in an instant, and too many troops and excessive population pressure always have to pay a price.

This fashionable and anxious Bai Feng didn't know that in the coming next month, he would reap the biggest surprise after coming to this world, and the city of Rome would quickly enter a period of rapid development, and the city of Rome in the big town was about to enter the city stage!
