Wu Ji followed Qingji's side and inspected the three armies of the Liao State, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

The soldiers of the Liao State are all born tall and big, not to mention, they are also good at riding and shooting, fighting with the Hu people outside all the year round, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The gap between them and the elite division of Great Wu is only the gap in weapons and equipment.

That's not good.

Wu Ji thought about it for a long time, and finally found Qingji alone at nightfall to talk about it.

"Imperial grandfather, my grandson has something in my heart, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Say."

"Liao's military strength is too strong. Sun Er heard that under the rule of the Liao State, there were more than one million people, and most of them were young and middle-aged, and although its standing army was only 100,000 people, the Liao people had a strong martial style, and every family dared to fight, and they were happy when they heard the war. ”

Wu Ji frowned and said: "The Liao State is like my Great Wu, every time the farming is idle, people of appropriate age will be allowed to hold drills in various places, which can be said to be a soldier for all the people." ”

"When necessary, Liao can take out an army of two or three hundred thousand to go out to fight."

"Grandfather Huang, this is not tens of thousands of soldiers, but more than 200,000 soldiers."

"In terms of military strength, among the vassal kingdoms, the only one that can compete with the Liao State is the Sai State."

"The difference is that the Serbian country is remote, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and most of it is barren land, and there is only one river valley, which can barely be regarded as the grain producing area of the Serbian country, but it is difficult to support the expeditionary operations of the Serbian country."

"And Liao is different. The Liao State sits on the Songnen Plain and the Liaohe Plain, two major grain-producing areas, and there is also a culturally prosperous, populous and land-rich Ning State on the side......

Wu Ji bluntly told Qingji what he really thought in his heart.

The largest vassal kingdom of Great Wu is actually not the Sai State and the Liao State, but the overseas Australian State.

However, the Australian country established on the Australian continent cannot become a climate in Wu Ji's view.

At least for a few hundred years, no matter how much Australia develops, it will not be able to become a climate, and it will not pose any threat to Dawu itself.

Because Australia is a vast and sparsely populated country, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, and no more than 10,000 soldiers, it is impossible for anyone to cross the ocean and settle in Australia.

The Cypriot State and the Liao State are different.

The territory of the Cypriot State is very vast, equivalent to a Tibet in later generations, as well as parts of Xinjiang, Bhutan, and Nepal, with strong soldiers and horses, and there are two or three hundred thousand soldiers with armor, and it is possible that when the empire is weakened, it will invade Guanzhong.

In case the Cypriot State gets involved in the Guanzhong and Bashu regions of Dawu, it will really become the climate.

Compared with the Serbian country, the Liao State is also surpassed.

The territory of the Liao State is thousands of miles in radius, bordering Yanshan Mountain in the south, Heilongjiang in the north, Lake Baikal and Ulaanbaatar in the west, and Changbai Mountain and Yalu River in the east.

The territory of the Liao State is equivalent to the three modern eastern provinces, plus parts of Inner and Outer Mongolia and Laomaozi.

The population under the rule of Liao is said to be more than one million, but in fact it may have reached two million.

If Liao and Ning merge, it will immediately pose a greater threat to Dawu itself.

Qingji glanced at Wu Ji and asked, "Ji'er, do you want me to cancel the Liao Domain?" ”

"No, grandchildren don't dare."

Wu Ji shook his head and said, "Grandson knows the emperor's grandfather, your good intentions in establishing the two kingdoms of Liaoning in the northeast back then. However, these two feudal kingdoms have indeed become a big climate. ”

"Sun Er has the courage to ask the imperial grandfather to set up three or even five vassal kingdoms on the land of Liao, and at the same time divide Ning Kingdom into two......"

"Is it appropriate?"

"Imperial Grandfather, what's inappropriate?"

Hearing this, Qing Ji said earnestly: "Ji'er, you think things too simply. ”

"As you said, if the Liao Kingdom is divided into three, or divided into five, how much will Great Wu pay?"

"There are many Hu tribes in Liaodi, and the people with ill intentions are innumerable."

"Two years ago, as soon as Wu Zhang's front foot left, there was a rebellion in Liao, and fortunately, Wu Hong sent troops to help in time, which allowed Liao to avoid the crisis of losing the country."

"Not only the Hu people in Liao, but also the Hu people outside have a covetous heart for Liao."

"If the Liao Kingdom is divided into three, or even into five, I dare to say that in less than three years, the vassal kingdoms of Liao will fall, and all of them will be destroyed, and the Ning Kingdom will inevitably be in danger of being destroyed."

"This ......"

Wu Ji also took this into account.

It's just that he thinks that a strong Liao State is always not in line with the actual interests of Great Wu.

Qingji is still alive, but once Qingji dies, who can still control Liao and Sai?

It is worth mentioning that Wu Zhang, the king of Liao, and Wu Fan, the king of Sai, are still stationed in the west.

It is estimated that there are still hundreds of thousands of legions and alien armies under the hands of these two people.

If Qingji dies suddenly, and these two people lead their troops back to seize the throne, can Prince Heng, who has just inherited the unification, be able to stop it?

Wu Ji gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Grandfather Huang, you can't leave such a mess to your father and grandson. ”

"If the imperial grandfather can't solve it in your lifetime, the father and grandson can't solve it."

Qingji smiled, patted Wu Ji's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Ji'er, you have to believe in me, and you have to believe in your father." ”

"When the time is right, I'll cut the domain."

"My generation may not be suitable for cutting the domain, but in your generation, it is okay to cut the domain."

"As for what kind of means to use, you will know later."

At this point, Qingji also sold a pass, which made Wu Ji speechless.

Wu Ji is determined to become an emperor of the ages who is as great as Qingji.

Therefore, he will not give up these feudal kingdoms.

He wanted to go further, create a territory larger than his imperial grandfather, and carry on the past.

……

After Qingji's patrol team left Gaoping, the capital of Liao, they went all the way east, crossed the Yalu River Bridge, and directly entered the boundary of Ningguo.

What he saw and heard along the way made Qingji very emotional.

"Wu Hong, if I hadn't known that this was under the rule of Ning Guo, I would have thought that this was the place where my Great Wu was in my homeland."

"All of this is inseparable from your education and governance."

"Father praised it."

Wu Hong still behaved very humble.

Thanks to Wu Hong's governance, Ningguo became a wealthy country.

Having said that, among the vassal kingdoms of Great Wu, Ning originally had a foundation, and it had long been a civilized country.

The predecessor of the Ningguo State was the Jizi Joseon, which was established by the uncle of the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, King Shang.

Jizi went east and achieved it overnight, not alone, but in stages and brought a group of the Ji people.

Five thousand people from it!

The introduction of the Minzi into the Korean Peninsula not only introduced advanced culture, advanced farming, silkworm raising, and textile technology, but also brought in a large number of bronze wares, and also formulated such legal provisions as the "Eight Articles of Prohibition".

After more than 600 years of development, the Bronze Age has long been entered and there is a certain degree of civilization.

Wu Hong led his troops into Jizi Korea, and after the successful establishment of Ningguo, he also made great efforts to make Ningguo politically and religiously prosperous, and Ningguo people knew how to read and reason, and did not leave any stone unturned, and did not close their doors at night, and many Wu people and Liao people even came to settle in Ningguo directly.

The ideal country of Confucius is none other than the Ning Kingdom under the rule of Wu Hong.
