After nearly two months of conquest, almost all the rebel forces in the counties of Yandi were wiped out by the Jinwu army, and Cai still completely recovered the seven states of Yandi.

Not only that, because the Song army was beaten by the Liao army, many of the Yandi volunteers who were attached to the Song army were scattered in that battle, and then fled into Yanshan one after another, like Dong Pang'er, who had surrendered to the Song State and was given the name Zhao Xu by Zhao Ji, like Zhang Guanyu, who led tens of thousands of troops to surrender to the Song army not long ago, all of them led the remnants of the headquarters to flee into Yanshan.

Soon after Cai still captured Yanjing, he set up the banner of Zhao'an at the foot of Yanshan, and at the same time sent many people from the Song Jiang Righteous Army and the Fangla Righteous Army to Yanshan to recruit surrender.

Now, whether it is the people of the Song Jiang Righteous Army or the people of the Fang La Righteous Army, they are all mixed up here in Cai Ying, and many of them have mixed into the high-level, like Song Jiang, like Wu Yong, like Guan Sheng, like Zhang Qing, like Hua Rong, and now they have become the top group of people in Cai Ying's power.

There are such clear examples in the past, and all Yanshan Yiyong believe that Cai still will not always disbelieve them like the Liao, Song, and Jin Kingdoms, and has always guarded them, calculated them, and not given them the opportunity to enter the high-level.

In addition, now, the Song army has been defeated and beaten to Hebei by the Liao army, and Yanyun has obviously become the territory of Cai Yi, who has strong combat power, in this case, there is no other better choice for the volunteers in Yanshan.

Therefore, as soon as Cai Ying's Zhao'an banner was erected, more than a dozen rebel armies immediately came to vote.

Among them are those who are not small in size.

For example:

Dong Pang'er led nearly 30,000 volunteers to vote for Cai Ying.

The situation is similar to that of Dong Pang'er, as well as Zhang Guanyu, who brought more than 10,000 volunteers under his jurisdiction to vote for Cai Ying.

In addition, there are also rebel armies in the Liaohai area, including Wu Bangtian, Yun Team, Hai Team and other rebel armies, each of which has 10,000 or 20,000 people.

In the eyes of the Han people in the Song realm, the Han people in the former Liao region (mainly referring to the Yanyun region) belonged to the Fan ethnic group, from the emperors, scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty to the common people, they all called the Han people in the original Liao realm as "captive".

Therefore, the Han people in the original Liao realm were not recognized by the Han people in the Song realm, resulting in them being discriminated against, not trusted, and humiliated, which was an important reason why the Han people in the original Liao realm, including many of the former Liao civil and military bureaucrats who had defected to the Great Song Dynasty, finally chose to turn their backs on the Great Song Dynasty and join the Dajin in the historical Song and Jin wars.

Like Dong Pang'er, Zhang Guanyu and others who have surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, they have actually felt this kind of discrimination.

In Cai's case, there is no such discrimination at all.

For these rebels, from Cai Yi downwards, Cai is still the same people, and they are screened in full accordance with the standards for recruiting new troops, and the strong ones with strong obedience are selected, and then recruit training and political education are carried out, and those who are screened are distributed to the land and allowed to return to good citizens.

In this way, between two months, Cai still had another 50,000 reserves.

Coupled with the 20,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 reserves brought by Liu Qi and Wang Yan, Cai still has a total of nearly 300,000 troops.

In this way, Cai will still inevitably carry out a new round of military expansion.

But—

In this army expansion, Cai still did not choose to expand the establishment of the existing army, but divided the existing army by half, and built ten more armies as a skeleton - those vacancies divided by each army were supplemented with new soldiers.

Because of the birth of the Ten Army, it is inevitable that ten more senior generals will be born.

These ten senior generals were all personally selected by Cai Ying, and almost all of them were generals with outstanding military achievements, they were:

The new first army, with 10,000 people, is under control: Liu Qi.

The new Second Army, with 10,000 people, is under the command of Wang Yan.

The New Third Army, with 10,000 people, is under the command of Wu Lan.

The New Fourth Army, with 10,000 people, is under the command of Yang Zheng.

The New Fifth Army, with 10,000 people, is under control: Guo Hao.

The New Sixth Army, with 10,000 people, is in charge of Zhao Li.

The New Seventh Army, with 10,000 people, is under control: Zhao Pu.

The New Eighth Army, with 10,000 people, is under control: Li Yanxian.

The new Ninth Army, with 10,000 people, is under the command of Wang Gui.

The New Tenth Army, with 10,000 people, is under control: Xie Yuan.

After the establishment of these 10 armies, not to mention the 780,000 new troops still trained in the recruit and political departments, there are 250,000 active troops in Yundi alone, and if we count the 50,000 horses in Taiwan (the pro-defense front army, the pro-defense middle army, the pro-defense rear army, the pro-defense left army, and the pro-defense right army, after the enemy army, the guerrilla army, the tiger angry army, and the navy army were transferred away by Cai Zhen, the army was also expanded, and each army was expanded to 10,000), Cai still has a total of 300,000 elite soldiers.

Not only did he have a large number of soldiers, because he almost swallowed two-fifths of the Great Liao Empire, Cai still obtained a large number of armor and war horses.

In addition to obtaining a lot of armor and war horses from the Great Liao Empire, Cai still obtained a lot of armor and wealth from the Great Song Dynasty - in the era of the Seed Division, because of the lack of military sound, the front-line Song army almost mutinied, and because of the lack of armor, the front-line generals lacked the confidence to win. Drawing on the previous experience, when Liu Yanqing led the army north, Zhao Ji opened the pile sealing warehouse and brought a large amount of gold and silver to Liu Yanqing, and also prepared a large number of armor for Liu Yanqing. As a result, the army of more than 500,000 led by Liu Yanqing was crushed for thousands of miles, and these armor and wealth first fell into the hands of the Liao army, and then were captured by the Jinwu army that defeated the Liao army.

All in all, Cai Zhen's 250,000 army is not a rabble, but an elite soldier armed to the teeth, with nearly 100,000 cavalry alone.

As soon as Cai Zhen's strength was exposed, whether it was the Great Song Dynasty, Dajin, or even the Western Xia and Dadan tribes, they were all a little panicked, and the high-level leaders of various countries were all worried!

You must know that the so-called Dajin is actually only about 300,000 horses, which is comparable to Cai Zhen's strength.

And the Great Song Dynasty has a million army, but the combat power of this million army, hey, don't mention it.

With the exposure of Cai Ying's strength, the international situation has changed abruptly.

Almost everyone is waiting, wondering if Cai is still preparing to go north to compete with the also rising Dajin, or is he preparing to go south to swallow the Great Song Dynasty, which has shown its decline, or to annex the weak Western Xia first?

And the officials and people in the land of Yanyun, as Cai Yan's strength appeared, slowly gave birth to a sense of belonging.

This also includes those who did not approve of Cai Yi's ambitions, and they have also begun to accept Cai as a hegemon.

In this case, a voice suddenly appeared.

This voice is - Cai should still ascend the throne and become emperor.

Cai still felt that he had only obtained the sixteen states of Yanyun plus one Taiwan, and his strength was pitiful and weak, and he was not qualified to be the emperor.

But Cai Ying's subordinates don't see it that way.

You must know that back then, Wanyan Agu only had a small land and 20,000 horses, so he ascended the throne and became the emperor to establish Fengguo.

And Yeluchun only occupied the seven states of Yandi plus the three states of Pingluanying, tens of thousands of horses, and was also called the emperor.

Today, Cai still sits on the sixteen states of Yanyun and the treasure island of Taiwan, with 300,000 elite soldiers, and his strength is much stronger than when Wanyan Aguta and Yeluchun were emperors, why can't they be called emperors?

Moreover, Cai Ying's power has developed to such an extent that a small marquis is no longer enough to distinguish Cai still from his subordinates.

In addition, Cai is still not the emperor, and the people under Cai are still unable to follow the rising tide.

This makes many people itch.

The key point is that Cai is still not the emperor, and he has always been unjustifiable, and when envoys like Hu Yanqing and them sent envoys to Dajin, they didn't even know how to introduce themselves.

All in all, in short, whether Cai still wants to or not, his ascension to the throne has intensified.

Even, some people have begun to talk about the country name.

All the dynasties in ancient China did not use "China" as their national name, but also used China as their common name.

In short, "China" cannot be used as a country name, as long as it enters the Central Plains, its country is considered China.

Cai is still in the Central Plains, so he can't use "China" to refer to himself.

And since "China" cannot be used as the national name of Cai Yi's forces, then Cai Zhen's forces are bound to deserve a national name, right? You can't always be called Yan Yun, right?

As soon as the voice of discussing the national name appeared, both the officials of Cai and the people of Cai still were working together.

It is said that Cai is still born "Wu" as the country name.

It is said that the place where Cai still started is "Wei" as the country name.

It is also said that Cai can still not stick to the past and give himself a country name.

In short, there are all kinds of things, and there are all kinds of things to say.

The fact that this matter has been discussed to such an extent shows that it is the desire of the people.

So much so that Cai still had to face it.

There was no way, Cai still could only gather all the civil and military forces under his command together, and asked straight to the point: "Now, they all want me to ascend the throne and become the emperor, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Cai Yan's voice fell, Zuo Qigong came out and said: "With Hou Ye's current situation, it is inevitable to be called the emperor, and Hou Ye should take advantage of the trend." ”

Xiao Ang glanced at Zuo Qigong, who was one step ahead of him, and then also came out and said: "Master Hou, today, if you are no longer the emperor, why do you command the world?" ”

Wu Yong then came out and said: "If the name is not right, it is not good, Hou Ye, it is time for you to be the emperor." ”

Next, hundreds of people stood up in a row, all persuading Cai to still ascend the throne and become emperor, with great intentions of persuasion.

But—

Cai is still not affected by these people.

Cai still looked at Li Gang, Li Guang, Chen Gongfu and others, and asked, "Should I be the emperor?" ”

As soon as Cai still said this, everyone looked at Li Gang, Li Guang, and Chen Gongfu.

There is no need to look at it, Li Gang, Li Guang, Chen Gongfu and others also know that the people who look at them must not have a good eye, and they also know that once they oppose Cai still ascending the throne and becoming emperor, they will definitely be isolated by these people.

Li Gang, Li Guang, and Chen Gongfu are all extraordinary people, and they are actually not afraid of being isolated by others, and they also have the courage to put forward different opinions.

But as the absolute high-level of Cai Ying's forces, Cai Zhen's ministers of the humerus, there are some things that Li Gang, Li Guang, and Chen Gongfu can't deny with their eyes open, otherwise they will live up to Cai Yi, who has always trusted and reused them.

And this kind of trust and reuse cannot always be there, if Li Gang, Li Guang, and Chen Gongfu are really disappointed by Cai Ying, there will definitely be someone to replace them.

Li Gang, Li Guang, and Chen Gongfu are well aware of this.

Therefore, hearing Cai still asking, Li Gang, Li Guang, Chen Gongfu and others were collectively silent.

Seeing this, Cai still said: "You don't have to take it into account, at this critical moment, I need to have different voices of wisdom, so that I can make a wise choice." ”

Cai still said in his heart: "Actually, I don't want to be the emperor now, I want to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king, I want to be the governor of the capital, what do you think?" ”

Seeing that Cai was still so sincere, Li Gang, Li Guang, Chen Gongfu and others were impressed by Cai Ying's mind, you know, not everyone can resist the temptation to ascend the throne and become emperor, and then they finally loosened.

Li Gang, Li Guang, Chen Gongfu and others looked at each other.

In the end, Li Gang sighed, and then walked out of the crowd and said, "Now, with the momentum of Hou Ye, it is no longer appropriate to be called the Metropolitan Governor, it will restrict your development, Hou Ye." Claim the Emperor...... is a choice, and another is ......"

Without waiting for Li Gang to say what he wanted to say, Lu Qing suddenly ran in from outside the hall and said, "Master Hou, something is wrong......
