What's the Biggest Army You've Ever Assembled?

This thought just struck me recently while doing a turkish campaign. What's the biggest army you've ever assembled? I built up 26 jihads for when the Mongols invaded. My borders in the north were Georgia and Constantinople. The bizzy owned all the territories bordering my provinces, and once, just to cripple their armies, I took Khazar and then pulled back to Georgia.

It didn't occur to me until about 15 years before the mongol invasion that I could Jihad for Khazar. My original plan was for them to take Georgia and Jihad for that. I also maxed out the zeal of my provinces to 75/76%, with a few over that due to zealous governors. The crusades went from Antioch/Palestine to Syria to Armenia to Georgia to Khazar. I also threw in an 8 star general with plus 5 morale(due to traits) to lead the armies. When they arrived in Khazar, the Mongols, who oddly enough stuck to just the provinces they got in the initial invasion(Khazar and Volga Bulgaria) had all of their troop in Khazar.

The Mongols fled from Khazar into Volga Bulgaria, completely abandoning the province. I moved all of the troops from the successful Jihads into VB to finish the mongols off. In total, I had an army of just under 46,000 troops versus the Mongols measly 12,000.

EDIT: This was with standard unit sizes.
