This analysis report on the current situation of the Liao State, when it was just sent to Jia Chaochang, Jia Chaochang almost couldn't believe it, he knew that Yuan Hao had launched a massacre on the grassland of the Liao State, but he never thought that this massacre would be so tragic, to put it bluntly, almost swept away the grassland.

4 million people, this is not an animal, let alone something that can be discarded everywhere, but a living person, even if it is a ruthless Jia Chaochang, it is a little unacceptable, such a cold-blooded guy, if he enters the Northern Song Dynasty, what will it be.

After suppressing their feelings, the analysts analyzed the impact of this war on the Liao State from several angles, after losing 4 million people. For people of appropriate age, the war potential of the Liao State was reduced by 45%, especially on some economic tops, battalions began to appear, and the Liao State could hardly afford a deficit.

The most important thing is that they will almost inevitably increase their oppression against the affiliated peoples, and they will resist one after another, which will definitely reduce the overall power of the Liao State

A few million, perhaps a very insignificant part of the population of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, is a huge number for nomadic peoples such as the Liao and Western Xia.

In just two years, the Liao State and the Western Xia State lost tens of millions of people, this population, for the natural growth of the Liao State and the Western Xia, may take a hundred years to recover, in the Northern Song Dynasty's war potential, when the crazy increase, the old opponent is weakening, this is a great thing.

The Privy Council set up a special section to discuss the relationship between the war potential and the population, but found that this was simply a common practice for the nomads, why the war between the nomads was often accompanied by massacres, on the one hand, the reduction of men, that is, in order to reduce the subsequent reprisals, and the potential for war, and the collection of women and children, but in order to expand their own war potential.

Women and children, susceptible to influence and assimilation, men in the prime of life, that is, an unstable speed of sound, in the southern power society, it is not men who determine the fertility rate, but women, as long as women do not suffer large-scale losses, at most a few decades, the population can be restored, which is also the tribe on the grassland, the foundation of growth.

Of course, this is also related to the ecology of the grassland, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the grassland where the wind blows the grass to see the cattle and sheep, the volume ratio is low, grazing, and it is not a very heavy manual labor, under the premise that there is no foreign enemy, a few children, can also drive a large group of sheep, less middle-aged labor, may cause an impact, but the overall is not big.

On the contrary, in the Central Plains, no, farming is a very heavy labor, especially in the planting and harvesting season, which has a great demand for manpower, and generally families without prime-aged labor, even if they have land and harvest, they cannot be turned into wealth.

Once the massacres occur, the large-scale reduction of the prime-age labor force will have a direct impact on food production.

It was also this in-depth study that made the Northern Song Dynasty begin to understand that the incompatibility between the grassland and the farming civilization, and the problem of the population volume ratio was also raised.

The Northern Song Dynasty can use 3 million square kilometers of land to accommodate hundreds of millions of people, and at the same time, a relatively stable life, there are not too many problems, but on the grassland, it is simply impossible, the same number, at most a tenth of the population, that is to say, compared to the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao State, which is much larger, the total population is only about 10 million, maybe it has not reached the limit, but it is normal.

Of course, even in the grassland, there are few extinction methods like Yuan Hao, Yuan Hao stole into the territory of Liao, taking advantage of Liao's lack of attention, slow development, he can't have enough time to take those women and children back captive, he can only choose, take away what can be taken away, and the rest, indiscriminately killed, such a loss will be devastating, and even Liao may not be able to recover for decades or hundreds of years.

In the research, some mistakes made before were also summarized, the strength of the Liao State did not reach a certain level, and the loopholes in it were huge.

Yuan Hao only had a few people at the beginning, less than 10,000 people, such a person would set off such a big wave, the reason is that the Liao State is relatively loosely structured,

If it is replaced by the Northern Song Dynasty, it will soon be discovered, and when the time comes, the Northern Song Dynasty can calmly mobilize the army and carry out encirclement and suppression, even if it is a partial threat, the final threat will not be very large.

The Liao State is different, in almost a year's time, almost let Yuan Hao develop steadily, not only gained hundreds of thousands of people, but also a large number of wealth and soldiers, Yuan Hao a year ago, and Yuan Hao after that, with completely two concepts of things, to put it bluntly, the Liao State used blood and fire to raise Yuan Hao, and finally caused such a big loss.

Before, it has been pressed by the Liao State, and the hundreds of thousands, millions of cavalry mobilized by the Liao State have always been the long sword pressed in the heart of the Northern Song Dynasty, I don't know when, this sword will be cleaved down, which is also the reason why the Liao State has repeatedly succeeded in blackmail by taking advantage of the Western Xia War several times.

With real examples of Yuan Hao's battles, coupled with the analysis of the Northern Song Dynasty, they found that the best way to deal with such nomads was to send elite, small forces, to sabotage and attack.

The Northern Song Dynasty may be far inferior to the Liao State and even the Western Xia in terms of the Great Army, but it is no problem to concentrate the strength of the whole country, cobble together an elite cavalry of 10,000 to 20,000, and arm them to the teeth.

What Yuan Hao did, the Northern Song Dynasty could also do, and even better, even without having to exterminate a race like Yuan Hao, but capturing and transferring, and it could also do all this without affecting the overall situation.

This has also become a record, in the future, if you are against the Liao State, you can also use it, as long as you train some elite cavalry purposefully.

The final judgment and analysis, after getting Jia Chaochang's here, Jia Chaochang was surprised and immediately took action.

Headed by him, he took the lead in the discussion, and after a series of momentum, the analysis of the Liao State finally went to the court meeting.

Of course, it is not the court meeting of all the court officials, such things, which also involve a certain ciphertext, which is not an ordinary official, can accept, at least, it is also the level of a university scholar.

Therefore, the governors in Beijing, various bachelors, and the heads of the Eastern and Western Prefectures jointly studied such a report.

To be honest, no one thought that such a report would be formed, and the news of Yuan Hao's rebellion in the Liao State was known to the leaders at this level, and even the border passes were prepared to prevent the rogues who were defeated by the Liao State from running to the Northern Song Dynasty.

The horse bandits on the border are nothing, but there are organized routs, and a little madness will have a huge blow to the border, which no one wants to see.

However, they did not know that so soon, the war would be over, and the victor would not be Liao, but Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao, who lost most of the land of the kingdom and left only one state, survived, in the eyes of everyone, he should be in Suzhou, a place far away from the emperor of Tiangao, slowly recuperating, and then make plans after recovering his strength, no one would have thought that he would risk entering the Liao Kingdom, and he also took the risk and succeeded.

Jia Chaochang's report is written in a similar way to the Dinghai Navy, which has become a standard report in some industries from Han Qi's advocacy to Ye Qingchen's development.

Compared with the traditional recitals, which are beautifully written and beautifully written, this kind of tabular and straightforward report, even if you look at it cursoly, will know the approximate data, rather than studying it slowly.

Those who are qualified, basically every person who participates in political affairs, will get a copy, which is copied by the senior members of the Privy Council, and then read it a little, and is frightened by the shocking data in it.

The loss of 4 million people is at least the loss of 100,000 elite troops, this is what Yuan Hao, who lost his dog, did, is the Liao State really weak, like a paper tiger, and it will be broken with a stab?

If you take it to the court meeting and let everyone who participates in the governor's affairs come to see it, it should not be, and there will be no fraud, so down, from the analysis of this thing on paper, the Liao State has suffered a big loss and a big loss of national strength.

Most of the governors in the court are not soldiers, civil officials, and naturally feel that war is not a good thing.

Now, for the Northern Song Dynasty, Western Xia no longer exists, even if Yuan Hao is still very strong, with the land of 4 states in between, and the insurmountable country of Liao, even if it has influence, it is not now.

The Liao State, which bordered the Northern Song Dynasty the most, suffered direct losses and may not be able to recover for thirty or fifty years, which is a great thing for the Northern Song Dynasty.

Jia Chaochang, who has been observing the reaction of the important ministers, is very happy, this discussion about the Liao State should have been carried out within the Privy Council, and after a resolution was formed, it would be taken out, and even sometimes, it was just a record, which was recorded, and many people would not know about it.

The relationship between the Liao and Song dynasties is a major event, but some things within the Liao State are not as important as me, let alone in the absolute hinterland of the Liao State, in the grassland, which still has a very small impact on the Northern Song Dynasty.

But in Jia Chaochang's manipulation, he directly got it to the cabinet meeting, and studied this battle of Liaoxia, and there were many things that could be summed up, and no one would have thought that the Liao State, which looked extremely strong, was actually a paper tiger, a cavalry team of 10,000 people, and it was unceremoniously said that if the Northern Song Dynasty sent the same number to it, the losses that might be caused would be higher.

This is not an overestimation of the combat effectiveness of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, but an underestimation, perhaps, there is no such same clan as the Dangxiang clan, but if the Northern Song Dynasty is underestimated, it will not work, more sophisticated weapons, well-trained soldiers, plus sufficient supplies and intelligence support, it is really so.

After a governor who knew a little about military affairs put forward this opinion as if he was joking, others just laughed, but Jia Chaochang's eyes lit up, in the past time, Jia Chaochang has been thinking about what to use to raise this question, and he also knows that once this question is raised, it must be groundbreaking.

Liao for the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty for the Liao State, these two powers, each other, what does it mean, the Liao State has always had an advantage before, this is also the psychological shadow of the Northern Song Dynasty, it can be said unceremoniously, the Liao State envoys, in the Northern Song Dynasty Bianliang, can be arrogant, and even some times rude threats, but also have to grit their teeth to accept it, why, isn't it because the Liao State is strong.

Now, when this governor inadvertently proposes that the Northern Song Dynasty can do better, it can be said that in the psyche, it has been broken.

After studying this report, after knowing so many weaknesses of the Liao State, Jia Chaochang knew through the analysis of some generals that if the Northern Song Dynasty declared war on the Liao State, this was the best opportunity, and it should not be a big problem to get a few states.

But Jia Chaochang is still hesitating, sometimes, the start of the war, it does not mean that it can be opened with full certainty, sometimes, momentum is very important.

In the entire court, under the premise of being afraid of fighting, you rashly proposed, even if you are completely sure, it is impossible to promote this opening, if you really fight for a few months, then it will be too late.

He must seize this rare opportunity to formulate this matter from the court meeting, and all the high-level people present here are the high-level leaders of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, if they agree to this matter, it will represent the entire court, and there will be no objections.

Jia Chaochang straightened his clothes and took out another one, which had already undergone countless modifications, but he had a battle plan that his henchmen knew, but no one else knew, and came out of the crowd and said: "The minister has this play!" ”

Renzong glanced at Jia Chaochang in surprise, he was also thinking about Han Qi's position recently, Han Qi has been back for more than a month, and on the premise of making great contributions, how to be promoted.

Itself, I still want to suppress Han Qi for a while, after all, Han Qi is one of the leaders of the new law, and it is easy to regather a group of people today when Fan Zhongyan has gone into the wilderness.

The huge merit made Renzong unable to suppress it even if he wanted to, so it was higher than the privy deputy envoy, that is, the three highest.

The three envoys don't need to think about it, this is more professional, Ye Qingchen is doing well, Han Qi may do a good job, but it is more likely to be bad, in the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is already better now, it is not appropriate to move rashly.

Then there is only the position of the head of the East and West Mansions, among the two, Renzong is even more inclined to the latter, Han Qi is a military meritor, from the privy deputy envoy to the privy envoy, it happens to be a seamless connection, this is a better choice.

However, recently, Jia Chaochang has done a good job again, especially in such a Liao war, not only systematic, but also intervened, and after obtaining good benefits, in the end, the Liao State suffered greater losses, this is where the credit can be credited, now, what does Jia Chaochang want to do.

In the limelight, Jia Chaochang said the content of the chapter unhurriedly, and sure enough, as soon as the content came out, it shook everyone like a shock.
