Chapter 655: The Prairie Also Has Salt Fields

Yelu Yanxi is not important, Xi Nilie is not important. What is important is that the Liao Dynasty has governed the grassland for a hundred years, and what is important is that the entire grassland is integrated into the blood of the Han people.

Cai Yan looked at the Liao generals clearly and knew the cause and effect in his heart, but he didn't care too much, but he was more willing to do so in his heart.

After three rounds of drinking, Cai Yan put down the wine cup and sighed: "Just just now, my elder brother asked me when I would take back Yanjing... I'm going to tell you, my elder brother, I want to take Yanjing immediately, but my elder brother also knows that my foundation in the Ming Island is too shallow."

Xi Nilie personally participated in the battle between the Fourth Division and Guo Yaoshi. If he had doubts in the past and had seen the defeat of 100,000 Jin soldiers under countless artillery fire, he would be very sure that the Ming Kingdom had the strength to fight against the elite Jin Kingdom at this time.

Thinking about what happened back then, Xi Nilie hated Xiao Sixian and Xiao Fengxian's brothers. If it weren't for them, Daming Island might have controlled the girl Nao Ren in Liaodong...

"well……"

Xi Nilie sighed softly, raised his glass to drink the wine, and sighed: "If it weren't for the treacherous ministers, there were brothers' artillery weapons, the female savage would not have become bigger because of this."

The 100 generals in the tent, except for Yue Fei, Fang Tianding and Cai Ji, almost everyone has experienced the events of that year and sighed softly...

Cai Yan drank a drink and nodded, "There are only people from the Song and Liao counties in Daming Island, but they can use tens of thousands of elite troops to fight against any strong army in the world. It is precisely because of this that Niu Niu brought all the elite troops of Daming Island into Liao, thinking that one blow would severely damage the main force of the female savages, so that they could learn to be cautious and respectful, and give the Liao Kingdom more time to stabilize their position. It's just that my father's khan... It's better not to mention the past!"

Cai Yan raised his glass and drank another glass of wine, sighed, "Our Daming Island is very small and used as a sharp knife to break the enemy without any obstacles. But if you just have such a small number of people, it will become a difficult time to ascend to the sky, so you need to be more secure."

Liu Yidao wiped off the wine stains on his beard and nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty said so much. If the people in the world were not confused, our Ming Kingdom could not capture so much territory in just a short time, and it really needed to be safer."

Cai Yan stood up and came to Liu Yidao and Xi Nilie, and the two of them also made some vacant seats.

"We are actually not much different from the female Naosaur. We all swallow elephants with snakes. From what the female Naosaur does, we can also see some clues."

All the generals were stunned, and Yue Fei said thoughtfully: "Did the Grand Marshal talk about the Song-Jin alliance and the enthronement of Zhang Bangchang, and the decree after the enthronement?"

Cai Yan smiled and nodded, looking at everyone's puzzled and strange expressions, and said with a smile: "General Yue said that after the Song and Jin Kingdom seized Liao Nanjing, the Jin Kingdom only had one prefecture and two prefectures. You should know that it was not that the Jin Kingdom did not want to go south, but because the Jin Kingdom wanted to stabilize for a while, after all, the time for the Liaozhongjing and Xijing was too short."

"The herdsmen in the grassland are not farming farmers. The herdsmen can travel thousands of miles in ten days. It is particularly difficult to truly make them surrender. They must make some time to stabilize the land they have obtained. But why did the Jin Dynasty tore up the Song-Jin alliance in just one year? Is it just because of Zhang Jue's betrayal? Is it just because of the Song Dynasty's small actions in private?"

Cai Yan shook his head and said, "I don't think so. The Jin Dynasty only showed the attitude of the Jin Dynasty when he and the Song Dynasty were only exaggerated by the Jin Dynasty. There will be a life-and-death battle in the future. Zhang Jue's affairs are just an excuse."

"Excuses... If you want, you can have as many as you want! The reason why the Jin Kingdom divided into two groups to invade Song in just one year was that I thought it was Wanyan Aguda's death."

The generals suddenly woke up. Just as the young lion king always wanted to prove his authority after the death of the old lion king. When Wu Qimai ascended the throne, the Liao Kingdom had already destroyed the country, and attacking the Song Kingdom became a reality before him.

Cai Yan raised his glass, and the generals drank the wine together...

"The Jin army divided into two groups and went south. After obtaining Bingzhou and Hebei, they had to stop temporarily because they had no more tribesmen to control a larger territory, and no more trusted generals to control more people."

"Where are us?"

"The same is true! But we have some advantages that female savages do not have, such as the people in the Central Plains are more likely to surrender and govern than the herders in the grassland, and the people in the Central Plains are not as violent as the people in the north."

Cai Yan was pouring wine for the old master Liu Yidao and said with a smile: "Has Mr. Liu ever thought that there were 100,000 soldiers in Qingzhou, or 500,000 soldiers in Kaifeng, or 100,000 soldiers in Daming Island in just one year?"

Liu Yidao smacked his lips twice, shook his head and said, "Old officials have never thought that I, the Ming Dynasty, will have a million soldiers in one day..."

Cai Li smiled and said, "The people of the Central Plains are easy to surrender. Although there are millions of soldiers, the cabinet masters should also know that although there are millions of soldiers, only 20% of the soldiers can be fought. If you want to train all of them to be able to fight, it will take several years to make a contribution."

Almost everyone knew what the Song army looked like, and they couldn't help but nodded slightly. The Liao generals all felt a sense of loss, but Xi Nilie frowned and suddenly spoke.

"As Your Majesty said, our Ming Kingdom does need more time to refine the soldiers, but if we give the female savages too much stable time, it will inevitably be several times more difficult to conquer in the future."

"So what if the female savage is stable in the territory? Can she still block the countless grenades in our Ming Dynasty and cannons?"

Yelu Dugu suddenly stood up, and a group of Liao generals nodded. They were particularly confident in the grenades and artillery produced on Daming Island.

Cai Yan looked at Xi Nilie and smiled, "Brother, don't worry too much, brother, naturally, I won't let the female savage be better."

As he said that, he looked at Liu Yidao and a Liao general again and said with a smile: "If you are still in Kaifeng now, you may have received the order to mobilize the military."

Cai Yan said a series of mobilizations and said: "Because the female savages plundered people as slaves, it would be greatly reduced to deal with the Jin Kingdom by using the method of dealing with Zhao Gou. Moreover, they plundered the wealth accumulated by Kaifeng for a hundred years at one time. In a short period of time, the Jin Kingdom did not lack money and food, but it does not mean that we have no choice. Salt is an effective way to control them."

"Our ships can prevent the female savages from drying out salt. The only place where they can get salt is Hedong. Only when they take Hedong is taken. We say whoever does not have salt will not have it!"

The generals of the first and second divisions had known about the salt basin for a long time, but the Liao generals were shocked. No one knew the importance of salt basin. Without salt, people would really die.

Liu Yidao looked extremely solemn. If he said that it might take several years of stability before it could swallow the world, but after listening to Cai Yan's words, the old man suddenly realized that as long as the Ming Dynasty controlled all salt production, whether it was the Jin Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, he would be in trouble and bowed to the overly young Ming emperor.

Xi Nilie was even more shocked. He knew more than Liu Yidao and Cai Yan. He said with a serious face: "The grassland is not without salt. There is a salt pond in the black car room of Shangjing. But it is not easy to get there. Even if it is obtained, it is almost like a difficult problem to transport it to Liaodong. Therefore,... the female savage will definitely fight to the death with us in Hedong. Unless the female savage moves the population to Shangjing, it will inevitably make the Shangjing Tatars dissatisfied."

"There is also a larger salt field in Xixia, which is the Loubobe Salt Field guarded by the Military Office of Baimaqiang Town, north of Xingqing Prefecture."

Cai Yan was not very clear about the matter about the grassland salt field. When Xi Nilie told the story, his expression was particularly serious.
