If it weren't for the fact that Jing Jian was a beautiful man with a big smile on his face, and he was in the heart of the archon, Marcus would have immediately summoned the guards to cut off this guy's head.

The Romans were proud, and this country, which had grown by conquest, had never considered that it would also fail, even if it was only an accident at the hands of the Gallic barbarians, but this Oriental man was ashamed to take control of Rome? Is he crazy?

Marcus stared at the Warden closely, even if it was a joke, it was too much.

"What's the matter, my friend, don't you believe that the Great Zhou can conquer Rome?" The Warden was still laughing, not at all worried that Marcus would be angry.

"The Romans were invincible! Rome has the most powerful legions in the world, and all the warriors of Rome are unmatched! ”

"I believe your words, without the stupid Senate and those rotten families, Rome might really be invincible in the West. Hear clearly that I'm talking about the West"

Jing Jian slowly wrenched his fingers and said with a smile: "One legion in Rome is 10,000 people, can you tell me how many legions Rome has now?" According to my information, it's about eight, which means that there are only 80,000 troops at most? But do you know how many troops the Great Zhou has? ”

"How much?"

Marcus's eyes widened, it is no secret that Persia is controlled by China, and the countries of the Mediterranean are actually speculating about how powerful China is, but it is a pity that the Mediterranean Sea is really far away from China, and they do not have a complete intelligence system like Huaxia, let alone those Western businessmen who are hungry for profit. They only have money and profit in their eyes. How is it possible to find out the military intelligence of China? So Mr. Archon is curious. During these days, interacting with Jing Jian was actually the idea of listening to Huaxia's reality and reality.

The Romans were fierce, upright, and romantic, and sometimes simple-minded, but none of the true nobles were fools, and Marcus, who could become an archon, was the best of the best. What he smelled from Jing Jian was not only the aroma of roses and goat's milk, but also the smell of opportunity, otherwise how could he easily accept an Oriental as his friend with the arrogant character of the Romans? Although the gifts brought by the Warden were valuable, the Romans had a proverb: 'It is often not a friend who comes to you with gold, but the most terrible enemy'. Marcus certainly won't let his guard down because of this.

"Oh, Da Zhou has more than a dozen countries of all sizes, and recently a small country has become strong and destroyed a country called Zhongshan, which probably has nearly 200,000 troops, and many of them are cavalry"

Jing Jian smiled and said: "This country is called Zhao, it is not a strong country at all, there are also powerful Wei States, Chu States, and Qi States in the Great Zhou, each country has more than fifty legions, and the most powerful country is our Qin State." Persia is controlled by our Qin State, and there are at least one million soldiers. If you can also temporarily conscript troops in wartime, I will do the math, there are always one hundred and twenty legions."

"One, one hundred and twenty legions?"

Marcus's eyes widened two times wider than a donkey's egg, and he couldn't believe his ears. Even in the heyday of Rome two hundred years later, Rome had only thirty legions, and God, how many inhabitants did the great city of Rome have now? No more than 200,000! He couldn't imagine how big a country with a million-strong army could be

"This is a real professional legion, no better than the peasants and craftsmen of the Persian Empire who relied on vassal states, our warriors have excellent weapons and hard armor, and the sword I sent you have tried, how about your Roman short sword?"

Marcus blinked, and his heart sank unconsciously, he had tried the long sword given by the Oriental, not only was it twice as long as the Roman short sword, but it could also be damaged by cutting off more than three Roman short swords in a row, if millions of troops had such weapons, it would be terrifying.

"Now the Great Zhou has ended the situation of the melee of the countries, all the countries have united to march to the west, don't look at me like this, the Great Zhou can't look down on a single Mediterranean, our goal is in the more distant sea of stars! This is what the great Qin State Baizi said. However, the Mediterranean countries are the only way for the Great Zhou to advance westward, and the Great Zhou also needs a stable 'rear', obviously, the Roman Greek Gaul and the Carthaginians are not very reassuring? ”

Jing Jian smiled more and more charmingly, Marcus was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but compare the flower man in front of him with his fourth wife, and finally found that his wife was slightly whiter at most, if the beauty was far inferior to the oriental man in front of him, he was intimidated by Jing Jian's beauty for a while, and his eyes became much softer.

"You're talking big about my friend, maybe the Great Zhou really has millions of troops, but the road is too far, how long will it take for your army to come to the Mediterranean? On the way, more than half of them will die of exhaustion and disease, or even wipe out the whole army! ”

"Really? Don't forget that we have already controlled Persia, the army of the Great Zhou can reach Persia by coastal route, and then use the resources of Persia to build the largest fleet in history, the wind and waves in the Mediterranean can't stop us, maybe not a million people, 300,000, 500,000, Rome can stop it? Can Athens stop it? Can those disgusting Carthaginians stop you, my friend? ”

Jing Jian looked at Marcus seriously: "The Romans admired violence and conquest the most, which is very good, so for Rome, once it encounters a stronger conqueror, it will be easier to obey, because this is the rule that conquerors must follow, isn't it?" We are already friends, am I still going to hurt you, you have to believe me, don't go to the discipline of Dorman, but should learn from the clever Queen Mogina, isn't she happy to be the queen of Persia now? Da Zhou didn't treat her badly, and Qin Guo also respected her very much. ”

"It can't be, the pride of Rome"

"Hehe, in the face of absolute strength, the pride of Rome is nothing more than sheep dung. Believe me, friend, the Great Zhou Tianzi listens to Qin Guo's words the most, and Qin Jun listens to Baizi's words the most, and I am the envoy sent by Baizi. If you are willing to follow the example of Queen Magina, I can guarantee that you will become the Roman Emperor alongside the Roman Senate and the Consuls, and no longer have a one-year term like the Consuls, but for life! You will have certain privileges and some real power, and your family will become royalty for generations, and these privileges will be very practical, and they will definitely not only allow you to open the door of your house on the street, my friend, and I have a great affection for the Valerius family, so don't you force me to work with Marcus Popilius Laenas? You know, the Popilius family are a bunch of bastards, and they don't have as much affinity for commoners and slaves as yours."

After saying this, Jing Jian stared at Marcus's eyes tightly, he also had a certain understanding of the Roman political system, the political structure of the consuls, the senate and the separation of powers of the family was actually more advanced and reasonable than that of China, but Bai Zi said that he wanted to erect a half-virtual and half-real Roman emperor, and he didn't know if Marcus, who was already an archon, would be interested.

"Roman Emperor, Roman Emperor!"

Marcus thought for a moment, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he actually stood up and looked at Jing Jian with burning eyes, and his fair face became as red as a woman because of excitement.

The Warden underestimated the appeal of the Roman emperor to Marcus, a republican consul. According to the trajectory of history, three hundred years later, Rome will enter the imperial era, and the Roman emperor will inevitably appear, and it will also stand side by side with the Senate to balance the rights of each other.

"It's the Roman Emperor, what, is the Archon interested?"

"I'm afraid that the Senate and Marcus Popilius Laenas will not agree? And the citizens of Rome are afraid that they will also be dissatisfied. ”

"As I said, the idiots of the Senate and Marcus Popilius Lahenas will be powerless to resist in the face of absolute power. As for the citizens of Rome, when you become the hero who saved Rome, will they still be stingy with the title of emperor? (To be continued.) )
