Eudocia was slightly stunned, and she also heard the fear from the bottom of her heart from Xin Zhen's words!

In that country in the East, is there such a thing as macaroni? Isn't this the alchemist of the Holy See tossed it up?!

Slightly stunned, some other thoughts appeared in Yudosiah's heart.

Since he is afraid, does that mean that at this moment, there is really no defense force around him?!

So, take the opportunity to control him with macaroni......

Her thoughts gradually wrinkled, and Yudocia hesitated in her heart, because she was also afraid, and the fear that Xin Xi showed at this time may not be an illusion!

"Hehe, General Xinxi, don't worry, I really don't want to see you become a human being, a ghost or a ghost." Eudosia chuckled.

Xin Xi turned around, looked at the Tianshan Snow Lotus under the mountain, and said, "Then thank Her Royal Highness the princess for her kindness!" ”

What hasn't happened yet, no matter how much you worry about it, it's superfluous, and if you can't stop it, worrying about it is also superfluous.

Therefore, Xin Xi suppressed all the worries in his heart and looked closely at the Tianshan Snow Lotus below.

Yudosia also slowly stuck to the same place, and the thought in her heart was always about to move, but at the same time, the knife hanging over her head made her have to dispel that thought.

If you want to do it but you can't do it, if you want to do it but can't do it, it's really painful to go crazy.

"General Xinxi, can you tell me about the country in the East? I'm curious. "Yudosia decided to change the topic, at the same time, this is also a kind of inquiry, whether a person is strong or not, after judging the other party's heart in line with words and deeds, it is easy to make a conclusion, she just wants to take this opportunity to test it again.

Xin Xi shook his head slightly: "A very strong and weak country, it has a full 10,000 people, but it also has enemies in all directions......"

Ten thousand people?!

Are there really so many people in this world?! The entire Roman Empire is only a little more than 20 million, even if you add the country of the Holy See and the barbarians, it seems that it is less than 50 million, and the country in the east has 10 million people?!

Oh, my God!

How many people are there?!

Eudosia was shocked, in this era when population is power, 10,000 people, if they are conscripted according to the limit, theoretically, they can pull up 10 million troops, 10 million troops, can already conquer the whole world!

"Well, with such a population, what about the army, how many are there?" Eudocia had forgotten to use this question to find out the reason for the depth of Xinxi, she just fell into pure surprise and curiosity!

Army?

The Western Army, which is composed of the Jishi Army and the Huaide Army, has about one million, of course, the Western Army, which is traditionally able to fight well, is actually only more than 100,000, but the total number of Western troops can be counted as one million, so that the 1.2 million Hebei Army, plus the two million forbidden troops in the capital, plus the Xiang Army from all over the country.

"There should be six million troops in the country!" Xin Zhen opened his mouth indifferently, but he was a little speechless in his heart.

The figure of six million looks quite huge, however, 80 percent of the Great Song army, which inherited Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's idea of peace, was the old, weak, sick and disabled.

These old, weak, sick and disabled people are the people left after each natural disaster, these people encountered natural disasters, their homes and land were all gone, the official family was worried that these displaced people would gather to make trouble, or even rebel, so they directly incorporated all the survivors of these disaster areas into the army, and supported these people with military salaries, so as not to rebel because these people did not have enough to eat.

Therefore, this is a homeless person who is originally raised, and naturally there is no one to train, so eighty percent of the people in the forbidden army are not considered normal combat effectiveness.

So, after deducting eighty percent, how much is left?!

Eighty percent is 4.8 million, so there will be only one million people who can really have combat effectiveness.

Ay......

Xin Xi sighed secretly, to be honest, this special Song Dynasty arrived in the Yingzong period, the whole thing was a mess, Yingzong hadn't cleaned up this mess yet, and this mess immediately came to the hands of Shenzong, no wonder as soon as Shenzong succeeded to the throne, he immediately started to change the law in a hurry, and he didn't care about anything!

!

Xin Zhen suddenly hated this SB system, damn it, even if he traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a little easier to toss than this era!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was just a bad money, this Northern Song Dynasty, it's not just a bad money, this is a dynasty that is difficult to return, and it is impossible to start with a single hair.

Wang Anshi summed up the redundant officials and redundant soldiers, right, but there is no solution to this!

Reduction of officials?!

Who's going to cut it, it's going to be a matter of cutting it, reducing the army?! How can this be reduced, after it is reduced, in less than half a month, it will be time for all parts of the country to rebel!

Grass!

Tired!

Sometimes looking at this mess, Xin Zhen himself can't wait to simply start a new stove and rebel directly, but the international situation of the Northern Song Dynasty cannot be rebelled.

Hey, this prosperous Song Dynasty looks quite prosperous, whether it is from the perspective of people's livelihood, entertainment, or politics, it is not lost to the 21st century, but his prosperous and low-level lining is already decaying, and if it moves a little violently, it will fall apart immediately.

Moreover, this root is not easy to find, look for it, it is the original sin to emphasize literature and light martial arts, why not look at it from another angle, and it is precisely the emphasis on literature and light military force that created the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty, once the tradition of emphasizing literature and light military force is subverted, it is estimated that in a few months, the Northern Song Dynasty will be like the Ming Dynasty, strengthen the centralization of power, and when the time comes, the budding capitalist democracy will immediately regress.

I'm really drunk!

Thinking about it, Xin Zhen's brows furrowed, and Yudosia on the side was already too shocked to speak.

Six million troops?!

What a huge army this is?!

Think about it, in the history of their Rome, even before the division of the Roman Empire, there were no more than 500,000 troops, and even when the barbarians and Western Rome fought a decisive battle, the total number of troops invested by both sides seemed to be about 600,000.

However, that country in the east has six million troops?!

It's another double-edged sword!

Yudosia felt sad in her heart, through Xin Zhen's narration, she had already made up an invincible country in her mind, and it was obvious that if she asked for help from such an invincible power, the other party only needed to send one percent of the army to help her, and it would be easy to restore the country.

But in the same way, if the other party is interested in the territory of the empire, six million troops can also completely destroy her country in a short period of time!

So, at this moment, Eudosia is a little uncertain.

After a moment of silence, Eudosia tentatively spoke: "Since your country has such a powerful force, why don't you expand outward?!" ”

She is tempting, as long as she hears Xin Xi say that she has the idea of expanding outward, she will immediately order people to surround her, completely control Xin Xi, use macaroni, and then, she will let Xin Xi return to his country to promote the remarks that it is absolutely impossible to expand to the West.

In this way, the empire will be kept for at least fifty years!

Xin Xi is bitter, expanding, expanding your sister, the Northern Song Dynasty, a dynasty that can't beat a centimeter, is it good, and from time to time it is especially beaten back by centimeter by centimeter.

"Our country pays attention to the inner king and the outer saint, and it will not expand, at most, it is just like the Tang Dynasty, accepting vassals of all countries, you know the Tang Dynasty, right?" Xin Zhen opened his mouth weakly.

At the time of the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to the dynasty, and Rome at that time, that is, Daqin, also sent people to Chang'an, especially in Wu Zetian's era.

Yudosia nodded, and carefully recalled that the Heavenly Khan two hundred years ago, and the later Empress and Ming Emperor (Ming Emperor Li Longji), did not seem to expand outward, but only accepted the worship of other countries?!

Then, speaking of which, it's really weird that Dongtu doesn't even expand whether it's alive or dead?!

Eudocia was a little puzzled, she didn't understand the logic of the Eastern Turks' thinking at all, but she believed in the statement that it would not expand.

Xin Xi paused slightly, and at this time, he reacted, whether his feelings could expand or not, and it was this little girl's temptation of him? !

Don't you expand?!

Give me another twenty years, do you think Lao Tzu will start the colonial era in advance?!

Why twenty years?!

Build roads!

At least the east-west road must be opened, no, at least let the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, even from the easternmost to the westernmost, it will not take more than ten days, otherwise, even the strength of his own country will not be able to gather in a short time, and it will expand a fart, don't you see that although Mongolia conquered the whole of Eurasia, but as soon as his army passed, it was immediately reversed?!

It's also a pain in the egg, and I don't know why the Mongols were so fond of the Central Plains at that time, if the Mongol headquarters were set in Europe, the Southern Song Dynasty could also be reversed immediately after the Mongols withdrew, right? !

still has to continue to develop, but here they are again, the Northern Song Dynasty is no longer an era where you can develop if you want to, this has to develop, and there are still threats outside!

But if you don't develop, you can't beat the outside, if you can't beat the outside, there is no environment for stable development, after all, the Liao and Xixia people go south every year to fight the grass valley, harassing you from time to time, and it's really maddening.

Not to mention, a lot of money has to be given to those two countries every year, and if this money is not given, Xin Xi is sure to formulate a five-year plan that can definitely be completed.

Thinking of this, Xin Xi turned his head to look at Yudosia and said, "I will help you restore the country, but after you return to the country, I hope that you will remember to send troops to help me rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate!" ”

"Surely, this is our contract, and I, Yudocia Paleorog, will never go back!" Eudosia opened in a serious manner.

Xin Xi smiled, as long as the Western Regions Protectorate can be rebuilt, when the time comes, Tubo will be destroyed first...... Ma De, altitude sickness is not easy to get, Tubo should put it first, destroy the Western Xia first, and then fight the Khitan, when the time comes, the two countries will be lifted from the old currency, and Xin Xi can start to develop the Great Song Dynasty.

"Eleven Lang!" Adam's voice came, and the next moment, Adam appeared between Xin and Yudoxia, separating the two.

Eleven Lang actually talked and laughed with this woman?!

Staring at Eudocia, Adam was very unhappy: "The rope is ready!" Besides, what is this woman doing here, I don't think she has been at ease! ”

Xin Zhen shook his head speechlessly, and looked at Ada's body hanging from his shoulders, made of a kind of rattan twisting, each rattan was as thick as a little finger, and, as if for absolute firmness and safety, Adam used not the most ordinary three-rope weaving, but the more complex five-rope weaving.

In this way, this body is almost as thick as Adam's wrist!

"It's scented!" Yudosia opened her mouth abruptly, her face full of intoxication: "What a fresh fragrance, pure, sweet ......"

Fragrance?!

Flowers!

Xin Xi suddenly turned around, under the cliff, the Tianshan Snow Lotus had one more flower bone than before, and no one knew when this flower bone appeared.

But now, this flower bone is slowly expanding, and little by little pushing away the white coating, the fragrance is emanating from the flower bone!

"Give me the rope!" Xin said, grabbing the rope towards Adam's shoulder.

Adam was stunned for a moment, but Xin Xi grabbed the beginning of the rope, and almost in the blink of an eye, he wrapped his body around the wrist of his left hand five or six times, and finally held the end of the rope in the palm of his hand, and shouted at the same time: "Adam, hold the other end!" ”

With that, Xin Xi jumped down the cliff desperately.

The rope hanging on Adam's shoulder, as if it had been opened, turned quickly, and between the turns of the circle, the longer and longer rope stretched out, and Xin Xi also arrived at the location of the Tianshan Snow Lotus at that moment.

It was also at this time that the Tianshan Snow Lotus bloomed, and in an instant, as if between heaven and earth, only this snow lotus was left!

Xin Xi's heart was anxious, you must know that according to the description of Master Xuyi, the snow lotus blooming in this Tianshan Mountain is only for a moment!

In other words, he must pull out the entire flower at this moment, otherwise, the Tianshan Snow Lotus will wither, and it will not be of the slightest benefit to Sima Yun's illness!

Swooping down, below, there was a cliff, however, Xin Xi's eyes were just looking directly at the snow-white flower.

Getting closer!

Stretching out his hand, UU read the book et grabbed the bottom end of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, and under the inertia of falling, even if the Snow Lotus was firmly fixed on the ground, it was pulled up.

Flower...... It still looks like it's blooming.

Xin Zhen's heart was slightly relieved, and then, the abyss was finally noticed by him, and his whole body seemed to be in free fall, falling down desperately.

Grass, I don't know if Adam can pull it?!

When he was doubting and worrying, he felt an abrupt thud in his body, a huge traction force came, and then, his body also jumped twice in the air, just like the feeling of bungee jumping in the future.

The relaxation of his heart after extreme tension made him addicted to it in the bottom of his heart!

The rope slowly pulled up, and just as he climbed the cliff, little Adam threw himself directly into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.

On the other side, Xin was holding the other end of the rope in his hand, his face was a little pale, and his eyes were full of complexity.
