Chapter 217 Negotiation and cooperation for mutual benefit
Chao Gai is very handsome with a civilization stick pointing at the country. Hu Sanniang, who was standing next to her, was full of little stars, and her eyes looked at him without blinking. Unaware of it, Jerodari also cast adoring glances from time to time!
Nicknamed "Female Zhuge ", she has been familiar with military books since she was a child, and she has thousands of strategies in her mind. He is also a rare resourceful person in Liao, and he also sees the long term. But now listening to Chao Gai talk about military affairs and dispatch troops is an eye-opener.
For example, mountain warfare, long-distance night raid warfare, and even sparrow warfare, tunnel warfare, and so on. It is simply a god of soldiers, suitable for all kinds of terrain combat.
Yelu Dezhong and his sons were also people who knew how to march and fight, and the battles that Chao Gai talked about were very similar to the current situation of their Liao state. The inscrutable way of employing troops has also opened up new paths for them.
This person is really a master of the art of war!
Not to mention the main parties, Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen, and Lin Chong listened attentively, nodding and shaking their heads from time to time, but their faces were full of admiration.
They feel that the word "nothing will not" is simply a description of their brother!
After explaining several Liaojin battles, Chao Gai popularized some guerrilla tactics. did not sing a one-man show, but pulled Yelu Dezhong's father and son, Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Hu Sanniang and others to join the discussion.
Conduct military deductions based on the situation on the border between Liao and Jin!
For example, after Yan Yinshu hangs up this important person, where does the Jin people launch a counterattack, and the possibilities and emergencies encountered in various important towns. Another example is the densely populated Huanglong Mansion, which is definitely one of the targets. How to deploy troops to defend, or send troops to meet the enemy.
Clear the wilderness and organize the migration of the people! The worst and most effective way!
Everyone discussed the situation in the north, and only then did they give up when they had a good countermeasure.
"Hey, listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, Chao Tianwang is really a great talent!" Yerod closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then bowed deeply. This action came from the bottom of his heart, and he looked Chao Gai up and down and sighed.
"If my Liao country has this task, why worry about the country's fortunes?"
"Hahaha, why should King Yelu be humble, with you, the Liao Kingdom will definitely rise." Chao Gai smiled and waved his hand, praising it vigorously, and what he said was also very true.
According to the information I have obtained in the past few days, I don't know if it is a coincidence that Yelu is heavy, the word is big, the civil and military all-rounder, and the people have been sitting on the border for many years, and the people are healthy.
"I wonder if the king of heaven has a marriage match?"
"King Yelu, let's talk about business first!" Chao Gai shuddered when he heard Yeludezhong's words, he knew that the Khitan people liked to come to this set. Tie you up with a beautiful woman, and when you see that the momentum is not good, you are busy changing the topic.
If he shows enough sincerity, the rest will be much easier. Coming to the north of Yanyun is like coming to a treasure mountain, how can you return empty-handed?
Chao Gai glanced sideways at Han Shizhong, who understood and turned to the team. After a while, he came back with a blue and white porcelain altar in one hand.
"One jar is white sugar, and the other is gift spirits." Chao Gai tore open the seal as he spoke, revealing the contents of the jar and briefly mentioning it. After tasting the spoon, he smiled and said, "Come, you can taste it." ”
The tempting aroma of wine made Jerod and Jerodari himself swallow. Looking at this clear and sweet wine, after tasting it, my face was even more intoxicated. In the cold north, who doesn't love alcohol?
"Good wine, never drunk so good." Jerod exclaimed.
"Wow, this is so sweet!" Yale Taripo stretched out his green jade finger and dipped it in a little sugar and put it in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed into crescents with his fingers in his mouth.
"King Yelu, these two things are rare in the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty." Chao Gai saw that the family was smiling, so he said the purpose with a little bewilderment: "I will transport it in large quantities to Liaoguo for sale, and you will send someone to protect it, and the monthly tax will be divided into light and dark." Some of them will be handed over to Liao, and some will be handed over to you. As long as it sells well everywhere, it is not difficult to sell tens of thousands of taels of silver a month. ”
How many taels a month?
Yelu was heavy, Yelu Tali, Yelu Zongyun and others were surprised, it was hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a year, enough to feed a large army.
"No, if I see the iron armor on the soldier's body, I can also turn it upside down." Chao Gai patted the bright iron kai on Han Shizhong's body, and then pointed to the iron armor on the pawn's body, revealing a businessman's standard smile.
When he said this, there was an eerie silence around him.
Jerod and his sons and daughters were dumbfounded and incredulous.
The iron armor of the Song Dynasty is designed according to the improvement of the armor of the Tang Dynasty, divided into infantry armor, cavalry armor, etc., generally composed of 1825 iron armor leaf weaving, the weight usually reaches more than 60 catties, and even as high as 80 or 90 catties, and the defense is unique in the world. This is also the reason why the infantry can carry the Liao cavalry.
The Liao State has attached great importance to armor over the years, although it has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to imitate it, but the key technology is missing, and the defense is far inferior to the Song armor.
The Song Dynasty was very strict in this regard!
The Liao people don't talk about purchasing equipment and soldiers, even if they are noble generals, it is rare to have a set of Song iron armor. If the cover is sold in bulk, it will definitely be a happy event.
But for the Song Dynasty, it was a collaboration with the enemy and a traitor!
Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen, Du Yan, and Lin Chong were stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to dissuade them: "Brother, iron armor is a sharp weapon of the country, and it must not be sold." Besides, we don't have enough ourselves, but it is inappropriate to sell it to the Liao. ”
"Hey, I've got this in mind! allies, then you have to build trust first. Chao Gai waved his hand to stop everyone's persuasion, and turned to look at Yelu Dezhong: "I can really get the iron armor, I don't know if you need it?" ”
"Yes, but what Engong said is true?" Jerodari was a little suspicious. Brother Yelu Zongyun was also somewhat excited, shouting "Of course."
"Of course!" Chao Gai was a little unhappy on his face, but his heart was happy.
The act of selling iron armor is not an enemy, but a waste utilization! After this period of development, the military factory has been born with a new type of iron armor, not long ago, Lu Zhishen and Du Yan and others brought two sets.
The style is similar to the restored set of ancestral treasure armor he was wearing, with more than 2,000 alloy iron pieces inlaid and arranged, which is lighter than the Song iron armor, but the defense is stronger, and ordinary swords cannot be broken. In contrast, Song Tiejia is destined to be eliminated, so it is better to sell it to maximize the benefits!
Chao Gai looked at Han Shizhong, who was full of displeasure, Lu Zhishen and others secretly scolded a group of drama spirits, but they also took into account their emotions and added seriously: "Our army also needs equipment, and the number of iron armor sold is not very large." ”
"No matter how much we have, we'll buy it." The four tigers of Jelu were overjoyed.
But Yelu Dezhong is not an ordinary person after all, he was not carried away by the immediate interests, and his face became serious: "King Chao, think about me everywhere, send money and iron armor, what is lacking, so intimate!" ”
"Hmph, the ancients were courteous and diligent when they had nothing to do, and they were either traitors or thieves. The king of heaven must have a plan, let's talk about the purpose, the origin of the iron armor! The old boy looked at Chao Gai cautiously, and his original easy-going attitude became a little sharp.
This is like a prince sitting on the frontier, but he is not a master who is fooled!
"Since the alliance is very important to build a foundation of trust, Chao will no longer hide it." Chao Gai looked at him calmly, and then spoke eloquently.
The tax revenue from the two businesses of free wine and sugar is mainly to give the border prince the money to recruit private soldiers and train them to become an elite. Prepare for future events and protect your family.
Selling iron armor is also considered for this reason, friendship is friendship, and it still costs money to buy it. How to buy armor from the palace eunuchs is briefly mentioned.
Hearing this exciting news, Yelu was heavy, and Yelu Taribi and the others were dumbfounded. I never thought that the Song Dynasty would be corrupt to such a degree.
Chao Gai was disdainful when he saw their expressions, you are not the same, the precious war horses are sold in batches, but what you say is subtle.
"Hey, look at whether an emperor is stupid and incompetent, how many traitors there are around him, and how many people rebel, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is like this, and the lord of Da Liao Lang is also like this, such as the group of Jurchens in the north. King Jerod, you should understand why I have made an alliance with you. ”
Yelu looked at Chao Gai, who was talking heart-wrenching, and wanted to say a few good words for his brother, but he thought about all these years, but he opened his mouth but had nothing to say.
"Everything is as it is, King Jerod is a righteous man. But sooner or later, you will be unbearable and take the initiative, of course, it is necessary to prepare as soon as possible. That's all I, an outsider, can do, it's up to you. ”
Chao Gai sighed, looked at Yelu Dezhong, and looked at Yelu Four Tigers. Stretched out two fingers and smiled: "Of course, I still have two small purposes. One is the need for the right to operate livestock in the Great Song Dynasty, to put it simply. The Liao State appointed me to act as an agent for the sale of livestock. For example, concentrate in Jizhou, establish a huge livestock trading market, centralize and facilitate the management and taxation, the king can make a profit, and I can also make money in the Great Song Dynasty to raise soldiers......"
Yelu has to be heavy, Yelu Talibi and the others listened to Chao Gai's remarks one after another, and looked at this guy with strange eyes, what he said was so reasonable, his brain is active, he buys and sells, it's a pity not to go into business!
"The second is that I am secretly preparing to raise troops, and the king allows me to recruit troops and horses in the northland, like that kind of big guy, can King Yelu get me one hundred and eighty."
After that, Chao Gai pointed to Taishan Baturu who stood out from the crowd with a longing face! This guy is at least two heads taller than everyone else, and he is really the best in the world.
After pondering for a moment, Yerod nodded and shook his head: "The first two things are okay, I can call the shots." But where do I find that kind of big guy? ”
"That's fine, it's okay to be shorter!" Chao Gai is not picky at all.
"I would venture to ask, do you want to?" Jerod couldn't hold back his curiosity.
Chao Gai didn't hide it, and told the truth: "I plan to train a special combat team. The kind that can crush the cavalry with infantry must be large and strong, and if it is useful in the future, I will leave the method to you. ”
"That's it! I want to figure it out! After making eye contact, he touched his chin and muttered for a long time before nodding in agreement.
Chao Gai's things went very well, and he was relieved to hit the railroad while it was hot: "King Yelu, then the alliance between you and me is reached, and we will have a bloody ...... on the spot."
"Wait!" Yerod interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and smiled unquestioningly: "In order to strengthen trust, this king feels that marriage is more secure. ”
"King Yelu, there's no need for this!" Chao Gai has a bad premonition!
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves!
