Chapter 5 The deadline

Compared with today's Bactria, Europa is the same as primitive people in many aspects. But after all, they have developed a civilization that is unique to them, and some of them have merits.

The musical instruments need no introduction.

It is said that in terms of magic, Europa has its own uniqueness.

In the process of practicing Yuanfu and Yuanqi, there are also extremely high requirements for magic. The inscription of Yuanfu must follow a specific spatial layout, and the manufacturing of the Yuanzi production line must also be precise down to an extremely microscopic level. This is related to the magic number.

The sages of Zhuxia created arithmetic that belonged to Zhuxia, such as Jiuzhang arithmetic, etc., which were developed in all dynasties.

However, Zhu Xia's spells are different from Europa's spells. Learning from Europa's magic number can play a role in promoting the magic number of Zhu Xia.

Currently, there are mathematicians from Europe teaching in Taixue.

Ying Yi was very tolerant towards them. But there are also restrictions - at least for a period of time, non-blood descendants of Zhu Xia are not allowed to enter Yuanqi Palace.

Compared with the outside of the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City is like another world, a fairyland.

But occasionally, the concubines would go down to the outer city of the capital to hang out and enjoy the fireworks. Ying Yi has no restrictions on this. As long as safety is guaranteed, everything else shouldn't be a problem.

Speaking of safety, is it a problem for the concubines? In this huge country, besides Ying Yi, how many people are stronger than the concubines and can threaten their safety?

Their seemingly thin and gauzy clothes are all of elemental level and have strong defensive capabilities. Unless bombarded with elemental artillery.

And their powerful bodies and keen souls can even sense danger before it occurs.

Up to now, some female officials and palace maids in the Forbidden City have changed three times. Those who had not been harmed by Ying Yi all left when the generation changed.

These women who served Ying Yi received corresponding compensation after leaving the Forbidden City. In terms of titles and benefits, they are much better than ordinary people. And they have a good destiny - most of them will marry officials or soldiers, and it is difficult for even rich people to reach them.

And in the palace, they learned many things, many things that were inaccessible outside. After returning to the people, you can make a fortune by doing anything casually.

Nowadays, in addition to the five hundred guards, the total number of female officials, palace maids, and concubines in the Forbidden City is close to two thousand. They are all beauties from all over the world. They are all outstanding in appearance, figure and knowledge reserve. There are even some princesses from the European countries.

As early as after the empire and Europa established diplomatic relations, the two sides had exchanges in some aspects. He used various means to curry favor with Daxia, including marriage.

They sent their most beautiful princess here in order to influence Ying Yi in this regard.

But unfortunately, women who can blow Ying Yi with the wind from the pillow have probably not yet appeared.

Compared with women in Bactria, women in Europa have both shortcomings and advantages. The advantage is that he is taller. The disadvantage is probably that the smell is not very pleasant.

Fortunately, Ying Yi has the means to get rid of these shortcomings by strengthening his true spirit and refining his body.

In addition, in terms of habits and etiquette, it was not to my taste at first. But it can be learned and changed.

It was already evening when Ying Yi came out of the Imperial Garden refreshed and refreshed. Previously, a female official said that Zhang Ming had something to report, otherwise Ying Yi would not have come out at this moment.

When they arrived at Tianzi Pavilion, Zhang Ming had already been waiting respectfully.

Ying Yi waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."

He then asked: "Why are you so urgent? Western Region or Yizhou?"

Zhang Ming bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. There are those from the Western Regions and those from Yizhou."

Ying Yi smiled and said: "The countries of Europe are going to have a 'decisive battle'?"

Zhang Ming said: "Your Majesty, the candle shines thousands of miles away. The news came back in the afternoon that a total of about 700,000 troops from the European countries have reached a stalemate in Cologne on the banks of the Lion River. As for the decisive battle..."

Ying Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "A decisive battle..."

Then he said: "We are really at the end of the road. In this situation, there are still 700,000 troops, ha..."

Zhang Ming said: "The end of the road will lead to madness. Probably only more troops can give them a little more peace of mind."

The countries of Europe have indeed gone crazy.

Similarly, in the Thirty Years War in which the entire Europe was involved, there was never a single battle when 700,000 troops were gathered.

At that time, Europe was still relatively strong, and various countries had a large number of colonies overseas, with abundant resources and wealth.

But now, they are trapped in Daxia and have lost their overseas colonies. From the twelve years of fighting to the present, they have sold tens of millions of people to Daxia, and they can actually pull together seven people during the decisive battle. One hundred thousand troops.

What kind of madness is this?

"After wiping out these 700,000 people, Europa should bow its head." Ying Yi stood up slowly, with great power: "Zifang, do you think they are ready to welcome me?"

Zhang Ming bowed, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Then half a month."

Ying Yi said calmly: "Send the order and have Zhu Bingkun, Zhou Li, and Zheng Wu march in immediately. We will meet my chariot at the Lion River in half a month."

"Here."

"As for Yizhou," Ying Yi said, "Is the teleportation gate completed?"

Zhang Ming said: "Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Yulong has not sent the report yet, please check it."

"Very good." Ying Yi said, "Tell Wang Yulong that I will arrive in Yizhou tomorrow."

"Here."

...

Lion River, Cologne.

In a castle, a lamp with soft light stood in the center of a long square table. This lamp has no flame, no oil, no wick, just a crystal on a base.

This is Yuanqi lantern, a specialty of Daxia.

Sitting on each side of the square table were a dozen nobles, the last of whom was a marquis. Some of them were generals and some were kings, facing each other in silence.

After a long time, someone said: "This lamp is very wonderful. It can emit bright and soft light without lamp oil or wick. I heard that this kind of lamp has spread to thousands of households in Xia Kingdom. But I need to use a lot of Only by exerting great force can it shine."

"Your Majesty Louis, are you talking about the power of Xia Kingdom?"

"Perhaps. But I did pay a lot for this lamp. In the end, I only got a civilian version with the smallest power for their Octagonal Tower. And I paid three million slaves."

"You exchanged my people for a lamp, Louis, I want to strangle you!"

"Didn't you also exchange my people for weapons? What qualifications do you have to shout here?"

"Please calm down. We are not here to argue."

"Okay. I've calmed down. Let's talk."

"Three years ago, we lost all our colonies except for a small desert in northern Africa, and we were locked here. Their armies crossed the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, and were eyeing the west coast of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. Their warships were in the Mediterranean Sea. Even a grand cruise in the Baltic Sea. We are about to lose everything.”

"We are gathered here today with only one wish, and that is to resist. Even if there is no hope."
