back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 910 Send troops!

Yelu Hongji finally understood what Yelu Yixin meant by "cutting the flesh with a blunt knife". With the ups and downs, wouldn't Daliao want to rely on the city to defend, and the Han people began to attack Daliao?
Except for the moment when Dashun established the country, when was Daliao bullied by the Han people?
To bow to the Han people is even more uncomfortable than killing Yelu Hongji.

Once the Han people organized a powerful cavalry and the advantages of the Khitan were offset, I am afraid that the Khitan would also follow in the footsteps of the Huns and Turks.The reason why the Khitans were able to establish a dynasty comparable to the Huns and Turks was largely due to the fact that the Han did not have a large-scale cavalry.

On the vast grassland, only the cavalry is the real master.

As for the cavalry, the development of the Han people is the most complete, and they have even evolved into heavy cavalry. The armor on their bodies is thicker than that of the imperial cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, and arrows cannot be shot at all.But no good horse can afford it, no matter how good the heavy cavalry is, it is useless.It is precisely because of this that the armor-piercing horse lance slowly withdrew from the arena of war.Most of the Khitan people don't wear armor. If you hold a horse spear, whose armor will you break?Besides, the cost of a horse spear is no less than that of a fine horse, so who can afford it if it is not from a wealthy family!

Previously, Dashun was another dynasty that emphasized civility over military affairs, and the military generals were so down that they couldn't even build horses.Without a market, craftsmen who can make horses have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, and their craftsmanship is about to be lost.Fortunately, a god-armed crossbow was born out of the sky, and these craftsmen who knew how to make horses were reborn.

In an era when the firing rate of flintlock guns was less than [-]%, bows and crossbows still had value.Especially in wet, rainy and snowy weather, bows and crossbows play more roles than firearms.

In a corps, without the cooperation of various arms, it is simply putting one's own vitals in front of the enemy and seeking death.If it's just cavalry, it's fine, if you can't beat it, you can still run.But the Han army has always been dominated by infantry, and they can't escape if they can't fight!

It was also because of this that Yelu Hongji had the confidence to compete with Dashun.

But if Dashun's cavalry is on par with Liao's, does Yelu Hongji still have such confidence?Yelu Hongji also knew the seriousness of the matter, and did not dare to exaggerate it. "In the opinion of the Qing family, what should we do?"

"send troops!"

Yelv Yixin blurted out: "Steal away all the discussion venues!"

Yelu Hongji was taken aback: "What about the tea cloth?"

"Do business with the Uighurs, buy from them!" Yelu Yixin had already thought about the way out, and he thought, without Zhang Butcher, would he have to eat hairy pigs!
These days, the Uighurs are indeed powerful, controlling the Western Regions and the Silk Road with one hand.The Arabs also do business with them, not with the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Hongji thought about it carefully and thought it was a good idea.

Indeed, in the face of the life and death of the Liao Kingdom, a small discussion field is dispensable.Once the Han people are allowed to complete their powerful cavalry corps, the end of the Khitan people will come.In front of the Luanhe palace, the Han people's "demonic methods" made him terrified.He didn't know that this kind of weapon was called a firearm until the intelligence came from Korea, which could kill people within a hundred steps.But it is not easy to make, and there are not many in Dashun.

But it has been eight years!In eight years, who knows how much money Dashun has accumulated and how many firearms he has built?

No wonder Xiao Tali wanted him to make up with Dashun, it turned out that he was afraid of the firearms of the Han people!

Yelu Hongji was not stupid, after a little thought, he understood the key point.

If it is the firearms of the Han people, plus the cavalry, wouldn't it be invincible in the world?

"No, we must stop it!" Thinking of this, Yelu Hongji trembled all over.Asking him to bow down to the Han people is even more uncomfortable than killing him.Even if it's an equal, he can't stand it.Originally, the military strength of the Liao Kingdom was far superior to that of Dashun, and it was only a short shot before they could go south to the Central Plains.But now that the situation is reversed, how can Yelu Hongji be convinced?
"That's right, we are indeed going to send troops!"

Yelu Hongji finally figured this out and made up his mind.As long as it can stop the rise of Dashun, a small dispute is nothing!
Yelv Yixin also laughed, and said flatteringly, "Your Majesty is wise!"

In fact, he was also making small calculations in his heart. The horse market is really outrageous now. A good horse is worth a hundred guan, a fine horse is only worth a thousand guan, and a pure color is only worth [-] guan.Such a low price has long caused the Khitan people to complain.Liao has nothing to export in foreign trade, except for sheep, camels are horses.

The price of sheep is stable. It has always been ten per head, and even in years when water and grass are not good, it can rise to twelve.But sheep also have disadvantages, that is, they consume too much water and grass.Without so many fertile aquatic plants, good sheep cannot be raised at all.In a piece of lush pasture, the benefits of raising horses are much higher than raising sheep.Therefore, the price of sheep cannot go up, but the price of horses has been falling.

Yelv Yixin was very anxious, because he still had a lot of good horses in his hand, if the price of the horses couldn't go up, he would lose a lot of money.

So he has been deliberately planning to influence Yelu Hongji, thereby affecting the Shunliao trade, and then affecting the price of horses.Regardless of the fact that the market is gone, his horses cannot be sold.On the contrary, the disappearance of the market will not affect the sale of horses, and even the price of horses will rise.Yelv Yixin didn't know how many channels for selling horses he had secretly accumulated, but the market was the one with the lowest income.

Yelu Yixin dared to say that as long as the Liao Kingdom sent troops to attack Caogu again, and the market would be closed soon, the price of horses would rise.He was not afraid that there would be no Han people to do business with, after all, the price of horses purchased by the court's horse farms had always remained high.With dozens or even hundreds of times the profit, these Han people will definitely flock to it, even if they are risking their lives and ruining their fortunes.

Man dies for wealth, bird dies for food, the truth remains unchanged from ancient times.Yelu Yixin is like this, but he doesn't believe that those Han people are not like this!

"Your family, please step back and wait for me to call the ministers of the South Court, North Court and Privy Council to discuss together. At that time, you must contribute!" Yelu Hongji said face-to-face.

"My servant obeys the order!" Yelu Yixin also knew that Yelu Hongji wanted to get a confidant to cheer for him, and Yelu Yixin was also happy to do this thankless job.After all, for the sake of money, no one will be against money.

After Yelu Yixin quit the Mingwang Building, he felt so complacent: "Finally, it's my turn to get rich!"

"Fellow of the Northern Academy, why are you so happy today?"

A voice sounded from behind, Yelu Yixin turned his head to look, he was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said: "So it's Xiao Xiamo, Captain Consort! Long time no see, how are you doing?"

"It's not very good, I still can't catch up with the fellow magistrate of the North Academy! It's really rare to meet an old friend here. I just returned to Linhuang Mansion not long ago, how about going to have a few glasses of water and wine now?" Xiao Xiamo suggested.

Yelu Yixin rolled his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "The consort is invited by the captain, do you dare not obey?"

The two laughed loudly, hooked their shoulders and walked out of the Daliao Palace.
