Yelu Hongji finally understood what Yelu Yixin meant by "cutting meat with a blunt knife", under the elimination of one and the other, wouldn't Da Liao have to rely on the city to defend, and the Han people began to attack Da Liao?

Except for the time when Dashun was founded, when was Da Liao bullied by the Han people?

To bow to the Han people is even more uncomfortable than killing Yelu Hongji. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

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

In the vast steppe, only the cavalry is the real master.

If it is cavalry, the development of the Han people is the most perfect, and they have even evolved heavy cavalry, and the armor on their bodies is thicker than that of the imperial tent of the Liao State, and the arrows cannot be shot at all. But there are no good horses to carry them, and no matter how good the heavy cavalry is, it is in vain. It was precisely because of this that the armor-piercing horse lance slowly withdrew from the stage of war. Most of the Khitans don't wear armor, you take a horse lance, whose armor is broken? Besides, the cost of a horse lance is no less than that of a horse, and it is not a wealthy family, who can afford it!

Dashun was a dynasty that emphasized literature over military force, and the military generals were so declining that they couldn't even afford to build a horse lance. Without the market, the craftsmen who can make horse lances have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, and the craft is about to be lost. Fortunately, a divine arm crossbow was born, and these craftsmen who knew how to make horse lances could be regarded as reborn.

In the era when the firing rate of flintlock pistols was less than ninety percent, the bow and crossbow still had the value of existence. Especially in wet, rainy and snowy weather, bows and crossbows play a much greater role than firearms.

In a corps, without the cooperation of various arms, it is simply putting one's own vital points in front of the enemy and seeking its own death. If it's just cavalry, you can't beat it and still run. But the Han army has always been dominated by foot soldiers, and if you can't beat it, you can't run away!

It is also because of this that Yelu Hongji has such confidence and dares to compete with Dashun.

But if Dashun's cavalry is on par with Liao, then does Yelu Hongji still have such confidence? Yelu Hongji also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't dare to make a big deal about it. "In the opinion of the Qing family, what should I do?"

"Troops!"

Yelu Yixin blurted out: "Snatch all the fields!" ”

Yelu Hongji was stunned: "What about the tea cloth?" ”

"Do business with the Uighurs, buy from them!" Yelu Yixin had already thought of the way back, and he thought, without Butcher Zhang, would he have to eat hairy pigs!

In this year, the Uighurs were indeed powerful, and single-handedly controlled the Western Regions and the Silk Road. The Arabs also traded with them, not with the Khitans of Liao.

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 State, a small arena is dispensable. Once the Han people completed the powerful cavalry corps, the end of the Khitans was coming. In front of the Luanhe Palace, the "demon law" of the Han people made him tremble. It wasn't until information came from Goryeo that he learned that this weapon was called a firearm and could kill people within a hundred steps. But it is not easy to manufacture, and there are not many in Dashun.

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

No wonder Xiao Tzuli asked him to reconcile with Dashun, it turned out to be a firearm that was afraid of the Han people!

Yelu Hongji is not stupid, and after a little thought, he understands the point.

If the firearms of the Han people, coupled with cavalry, would they not be invincible in the world?

"No, you must stop it!" When Yelu Hongji thought of this, he shuddered. Asking him to bow down to the Han people is worse than killing him. Even if it was an equal, he couldn't stand it. Originally, the military strength of the Liao State was far superior to Da Shun, and it was just one foot away from being able to go south to the Central Plains. But now that the situation has reversed, where can Yelu Hongji be convinced?

"Yes, we do have to send troops!"

Yelu Hongji finally figured out this problem and made up his mind. As long as it can stop the rise of Dashun, a small field is nothing!

Yelu Yixin also smiled and said complimentingly: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

In fact, he is also making a small calculation in his heart, and now the horse market is really not good, a good horse is worth a hundred, a horse is worth a thousand, and a solid color is worth four thousand. Such a low price has long made the Khitan people bitter. Liao's foreign trade has nothing to export, except for sheep, camels are horses.

The price of sheep is stable, and it has always been one in ten, and even in the years when the water and grass are not good, it can rise to twelve. But sheep also have a disadvantage, that is, they consume too much water and grass. Without so many fatty aquatic plants, you can't raise good sheep at all. A rich aquatic pasture, raising horses is much more profitable than raising sheep. The price of sheep has not gone up, but the price of horses has been falling.

This is very bad for Yelu Yixin, you must know that he still has a lot of good horses in his hands, if the price of horses does not go up, he will lose a lot of money.

Therefore, he has been planning to influence Yelu Hongji, thereby affecting the Shunliao trade, and then affecting the price of horses. Don't look at the fact that the field is gone, and his horse will not be sold. On the contrary, the loss of the farm does not affect the sale of horses, and even the price of horses will rise. Yelu Yixin didn't know how many channels for selling horses had been secretly accumulated, and the farm was the one with the lowest profits.

Yelu Yixin dared to say that as long as the Liao State sent troops to fight the grass valley again, and the field was about to be closed, then the price of horses would rise. He was not afraid that there would be no Han Chinese to do business, after all, the price of horses purchased from the imperial court's horse farms had always been high. With dozens or even hundreds of times the profits, these Han people will definitely flock to it, even if it is at the risk of their lives and bankruptcy.

People die for money, and birds die for food, the eternal truth. Yelu Yixin is like this, he doesn't believe that those Han people are not like this!

"Qing family, you step down, and wait for me to convene the ministers of the Southern Court, the North Court, and the Privy Council to discuss together, and you will have to contribute at that time!" Yelu Hongji taught the machine in person.

"Wechen obeys!" Yelu Yixin also knew that Yelu Hongji was going to pull a henchman to wave the flag for him, and Yelu Yixin was also happy to do this thankless job. After all, for the sake of money, no one will have trouble with money.

After Yelu Yixin withdrew from the Ming King Tower, the smug energy in his heart: "It's finally time for me to get rich!" ”

"Beiyuan Tongzhi, why are you so happy today?"

A voice sounded from behind, Yelu Yixin turned his head to look, first stunned, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiao Xiamo, the commander of the horses!" I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately? ”

"It's not very good, I can't catch up with the North Courtyard Tongzhi! It's rare to meet an old man here. I've only been back to Linhuang Mansion for a short time, why don't you go and drink a few glasses of water and wine now? Xiao Xiamo suggested.

Yelu Yixin's eyes rolled, and he opened his voice: "The captain of the horse is invited, dare not obey his orders?" ”

The two laughed, hooked their shoulders, and walked out of the Great Liao Palace.
