Whether it is salt banknotes supported by salt or official mandatory banknotes, the core value is reputation, which is to maintain the stability of the value of exchange between items. Therefore, it is not impossible to directly treat salt banknotes as silver and directly serve as military pay to military soldiers. However, Zhao Gou must maintain the stability of the value of items.

The salt banknotes have been circulating in the world for nearly a hundred years. The soldiers knew that the salt banknotes could be used as silver coins, so they didn't make any noise. Until they moved the capital to Chang'an, the people of Chang'an became increasingly reluctant to collect the salt banknotes from the soldiers. After several battles occurred, Zhao Gou realized the seriousness of the matter. Zhang Jun brought countless Jiaozi and the salt banknotes into Sichuan and Sichuan.

But no one expected that Jiaozi and Yan Chao would cause such a big disaster. Not only did Zhao Gou and the ministers who fled to Luoyang failed to expect that Li Gang, who was on the front line and was about to fight against Cai Yan, did Zong Ze also not expect that, but Cai Yan did not give them more time to worry.

On the ninth day of the second month of the second year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty, this day was a sunny day. Cai Yan led a 200,000 army ten miles away from Nanyang. There were also many soldiers one mile away opposite him. The two armies gathered only one mile. If Zhang Shuye or Yingtian clans saw this scene, they would definitely be scared to death.

Cai Yan used a single-hole telescope to observe Song Jun for a while. Just as he was about to shake his head and sigh, a Song general ran out from the opposite side.

"Song general Han You, the thieves dare to fight—"

...

"A timid as a mouse and a thief--"

"Dare to fight—"

...

Song general Han You called in front of the two armies, but none of the hundred-know generals spoke, but their faces were full of disdain.

Cai Yan shook his head and smiled, saying, "Most of the elite Hebei troops of the Song army followed Zhao Gou to Chang'an, and most of the opposite sides were Henan Fang army, Baojia army, and Volunteer army. Only such civilians need generals to boost morale, right?"

Qian Qian, the commander of the First Division, nodded twenty-eight, and said, "What Your Majesty said is that elite soldiers do not need generals to boost morale. General Song's clamor will only anger our soldiers!"

Qian Jiu, the commander of the Second Division, said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, the last general dares to issue a military order. Only one of our divisions can defeat the Song army in front of us!"

The generals of the Second Division all nodded silently. They could see more than a thousand wheelbarrows and carriages opposite, but so what? Can they still resist the bombardment of heavy artillery?

Cai Yan just smiled, turned to look at the tenth brother Cai Yan, and threw the rotating pistol inserted at his waist into the arms of the half-grown boy, pointing to Han You who was roaring.

"The fifth brother doesn't like others being too noisy. If the tenth brother kills him, this gun will be sent to you."

Cai Xue was overjoyed and ran towards Han You who was cursing in front of the two armies. All the generals were shocked.

Wang Shi said with some concern: "Your Majesty, the young general is too young, are you more safe? Why don't you let the general meet Han You?"

Cai Yan looked at the tenth brother in Takahashi's anus and smiled and said, "No, the tenth brother is essentially not very different from the tens of thousands of soldiers under General Wang's name. He has seen countless dead people in Kaifeng, and he can no longer regard them as ordinary dolls."

After saying that, Cai Yan looked at his side again and signaled his eyes. Immediately, two soldiers carrying long gun barrels jumped off their war horses. Seeing this, Wang Shi and others stopped saying anything and looked at the battle in front of the two armies.

Han You cursed for half a quarter of an hour in front of the formation, but the Ming army took out a doll that could only ride in the saddle of the high bridge. His old face turned red with anger, and pointed at Cai Ji who was running close to him and cursed.

"If you don't want to die, hurry up and call the thief of the Cai family to come and die!"

Cai Shi thought about everything he had in Kaifeng over the years, thought about his father's words before his death, thought about the tragic death of his eldest brother, fourth brother, grandmother, and aunt, thought about the huge Cai Mansion, and the second brother, and where was the innocence of a half-grown boy on his twisted little face?

"Cai Family?"

"Grandpa is Cai Jiajuro--"

"Bang bang bang..."

His eyes burst out with anger and hatred. Han You, who held his pistol and shone ten steps away, shot in succession. Perhaps it was too angry, or perhaps the pistol was recoiled too much. Although Cai Xue often played with Cai Yan's pistol, the first shot was still hit Han You's chest, and the rest were all shot in the air.

Cai Ji roared angrily, without thinking, and was about to run towards the Song army who took a big step back when he was fighting a horse...

"Bang bang...bang bang..."

The sound of retreating gong woke up the furious Cai Xue. Then he pointed to the turbulent Song army, and then turned his horse's head back to his formation.

Cai Yan was right. There was no difference between Cai Yan and the Seventh Division formed by the Kaifeng Imperial Army and the Xiang Army. Their aggression was too serious and they might not be able to see it normally, but once they encountered the Song and Jin armies that caused their family to die tragically, hatred and anger would easily make them lose their minds.

When Cai Jie returned to Cai Yan, the excitement that had been a moment ago was gone on his face, and there was only hideous, cold, and angry...

"Bang."

Cai Yan slapped Cai Jie in the head and said solemnly: "As a qualified general, you can hate and be angry, but you cannot be hated. Anger will destroy your reason. If it weren't for the first shot of General Song, if General Song was not frightened by the war horse under his crotch, you would have been dead at this time. This is an extremely stupid behavior and you should not commit it again next time."

Seeing Cai Jie lowering his head but not willing to admit his mistake, Cai Jie just shook his head but was unwilling to say anything else.

I have never experienced the tragic death of my loved ones, and I have never spitted out my bitter gall while gnawing on my relatives' flesh and blood. I will never understand the hatred, guilt, self-blame, and I will never feel the pain in their hearts...

Cai Yan patted Cai Yan's shoulder twice again, turned to look at Su Dapao, the commander of the Artillery Division of the Army.

"All artillery fire three times, and it is necessary to ensure that light and heavy artillery and crossbows bombard the unmanned space of the Song army."

Su Dapao couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, isn't it still not killing and deterring this time?"

Cai Yan looked at the turbulent Song army opposite, looked at the generals again, and sighed: "I went to the battlefield. Even if I was a farmer a day ago, I deserved to die on the battlefield. But... the miners who need mining also know about Sichuan and Shu. In Sichuan alone, it takes 20 million chunks of copper coins to exchange for Ming banknotes, national debts, salt banknotes, and iron coins. It is difficult to dig such a large amount of copper in a short time."

"The people are unwilling to go overseas. The Song army that surrendered voluntarily cannot be sent overseas easily. Even if they are sent overseas, they can only act as guards guards who guard prisoners and mine. After this battle, we have already taken all the land south of the Yellow River. How can we capture more prisoners and mine in a short time?"

The generals nodded silently, which was considered to be his recognition of his words.

Cai Yan said again: "Mining prisoners are still my Han family's blood. You cannot regard them as real slaves. Mining is also a transformation. Most of you will become like kings and princes overseas in the future, and they will be your soldiers and people."

"There are different from the Central Plains overseas. There are some indigenous savages overseas. These prisoners are of the same clan as ours. As long as they are not too harsh and abused, it is easy for you to gain their loyalty."

"Of course, overseas is too vast, and it is far from enough to just take prisoners."

After hearing these words, the generals who wanted to kill and shocked them all lowered their bodies and held their fists.
