Liu Yong's next step is to start a full-scale war against the Tatars, but before the war, Liu Yong still has to carry out some small-scale wars, first constantly harass the Tatars, so that the nerves of the Tatars are always tense until they are on the verge of collapse. At that time, it will be time for a full-scale war. This was just a foreshadowing of the big drama before.

Liu Yong is looking at the map every day, although the whole map is in his heart, but he still has to look at the map with his own eyes. That way he will have an idea.

To fight such a war, it is natural to have a big deal with the Ministry of War and the Prime Minister, as well as some important officials, such as officials such as the Strategy Department.

One day, after the early dynasty, in the main hall, Liu Yong kept these people.

"I left you today to study the matter of an all-out attack on the Tatars." Liu Yong sat on the dragon chair and said.

Wu Qing said: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to attack the Tatar slaves in an all-round way, but the minister thinks that it is better to consume the strength of the Tatar slaves again, and then attack the whole line, it seems to be more certain, and it is also twice the result with half the effort." The strength of the Tatar slaves mentioned by the minister is not only their military situation, but their economic, financial, and other conditions. ”

Liu Yong nodded after hearing this, and said, "Well, what Minister Wu said makes sense. Director of the Strategy Department, tell me about it, you are specifically designing strategies for the Ministry of War. ”

The director of the Strategy Department stood up and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's thoughts are the same as Minister Wu's. The Tatars are brave and warlike, and what they are best at is fighting against each other and blitzkrieg. And by fighting a war of attrition, they expose their weakness. Therefore, the minister also thought that fighting a war of attrition with the Tatars, little by little, would consume the strength of the Tatars, and in the end, a comprehensive blow would definitely be able to drive out the Tatars and restore the land of Middle-earth. ”

Liu Yong nodded after hearing this, and said, "Well, what you said as the director of the Strategy Department is very reasonable!" Prime Minister, what do you say? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, what does the minister think?" Chen An arched his hand and said.

"Oh? So, you're all on the same page? Liu Yong asked with a smile.

Chen An said: "Your Majesty, once such a big battle starts, it is difficult to infer who will win and who will lose. And this Tatar slave has always been good at war. In the event of a full-scale war, our army may not take too much advantage. And it belongs to the tip of the needle, and the outcome is unpredictable. However, if you engage in a war of attrition with the Tatars, they will surely be defeated! ”

Liu Yong nodded and asked, "Then how do you consume the strength of the Tatar slaves?" ”

Chen An did not speak, but looked at the director of the Strategy Department. The director immediately understood, and arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is necessary to carry out double consumption both militarily and economically. ”

"Oh? Then tell me about it! Liu Yong said with a faint smile.

The director said: "Militarily, it is necessary to put pressure on the Tatar slaves at all times, so that they dare not take a breath of air, and they do not dare to attack. The best to conduct a skirmish against Tatar Doto. Drain the strength of their armies and exhaust them. In this way, when the time comes, after our army carries out a full-scale attack, the resistance of the Tatar army will be much weaker.

Economically, it was to blockade the trade with the Tatars, and although there was no trade anymore, there were still some desperate angry people who pretended to be Han Chinese to come south of the Tianjiang River to do business. And this was still allowed by the Dayang Imperial Court. The Dayang Imperial Court will also benefit from this to alleviate its own poor economic vitality.

The minister conducted a special study on the economic situation of the Great Yang Dynasty. The tax revenue of the Dayang court came mainly from agriculture. And their agriculture is fragile. The main reason is that there is little farming, and a large area of land has been abandoned. The reason for this is that the Han people are unwilling to farm, and farming is not beneficial to them. When taxes are heavy, the grain collected is not enough to pay taxes. I didn't even want to eat it.

The Han people north of the Tianjiang River all hid in the mountains, buying and selling some mountain goods and hunting for a living. Others simply take risks and intend to cross the river, but the risk of crossing the river is even greater. According to a statistic obtained by the minister, among the people who tried to cross the river, none of the ten people succeeded, and only three or two of the hundred people succeeded. The rest were either driven back or killed. Of course, according to the ministers, most of them were killed.

Without the Han people to farm for them, the Tatar slaves themselves would not be able to farm, and they were not willing to farm. In this way, the agricultural tax revenue on which the Great Yang Dynasty relied for its survival could be regarded as walking on thin ice. And the handicraft industry of the Great Yang Dynasty was almost non-existent. Due to the overall economic situation and the lack of active trade, the goods made by some small handicraft workshops had nowhere to be sold, and as a result, a large number of small workshops closed down one after another, and there were no new ones, and the entire handicraft industry was almost free of taxes.

Of course, in addition to these two incomes, the Great Yang Dynasty is their base camp, the nomadic industry of Mobei. Thanks to this supplement, the economy of the Great Yang Dynasty was preserved without a complete collapse. But it is already on the verge of collapse. The minister once calculated that if this development continues, within two years, the economy of the Great Yang Dynasty will collapse. When the time comes, even if our Huahan Dynasty does not provoke a war, the Tatar slaves will provoke a war.

Because, when the economy collapses, the country will fall into collapse, and at that time, he will not be able to live without fighting. Only by fighting and attacking the Tianjiang River can they save their imperial court, which is about to collapse. Of course, the minister thought, the Great Yang Dynasty would not sit idly by and watch its economy collapse. They will definitely find a way to increase the income of the imperial court. Just like they wanted to loot the vassal states of the Great Yang Dynasty, the purpose was to increase the income of the imperial court.

You must know that not to mention the operation of the imperial court and the livelihood of the people, such a huge army needs a large amount of military pay every year. Where does all this money come from? It is certainly not enough in agriculture, and it is not a long-term solution to loot vassal states for a long time. The minister thought that the Great Yang Dynasty might have several strategies to develop their fragile economy.

First, vigorously develop agriculture, reduce agricultural taxes, encourage Tatar slaves to cultivate land, and expand grain production. Second, the Great Yang Dynasty would definitely develop the handicraft industry, and they would sell the goods produced by these workshops to their vassal states in the name of the imperial court. Thus promoting the development of trade. The difficulty is that these vassal states are too far away from Middle-earth. And he prefers to trade with our Huahan Dynasty. However, it is unlikely that it will be in the future. The Great Yang Dynasty will definitely not allow those small vassal states to trade with us.

The third point is their nomadic farming. That was the rear of the Tatar slaves, and it was also the foundation of their survival. It's a life-saving medicine. The Dayang Imperial Court will definitely vigorously develop animal husbandry to use it for emergencies. If these three points are achieved, then the economy of the Great Yang Dynasty will not collapse. "The return of the financial empire
