"Dongyi Island is quite rich in resources, but does this have anything to do with our rescue of the Sado family?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Wang Yi and asked.

Dongyi Island has a very large salt mine, which is recorded in a book of the Qi State, salt is a good thing, and the reason why the Wei State can support his huge army is because he has a salt lake mine.

And the reason why Qi can become the richest country in the empire is because he has this sea salt mine, and if he gets the salt mine of Dongyi Island, their Qi country's national strength will definitely increase greatly.

What's more, Dongyi Island not only has only one salt mine, but also many iron mines.

Salt is the most precious resource in the world, salt has many uses, in addition to eating, he has great strategic significance, in the empire only Qi and Wei have salt mines, and salt, all the princes need it.

They have to pay a lot of money to get salt, or a lot of food, or a precious resource, or something.

Therefore, Qi Xiaobai got the salt mine of Dongyi Island, which can make the national strength of Qi State to a higher level.

After all, not every country can be rich in salt, and getting one salt mine can make a country strong, let alone two salt mines.

And when Qi Xiaobai looked at the map, the salt mine of this Dongyi Island Country was about the same size as the salt mine of Qi Country.

Moreover, the sale of salt can bring huge economic income to the Qi State, but the Qi State is now in the position of letting merchants be dealers, and the Qi State collects taxes.

However, Qi Xiaobai was ready to sell salt in person, so that the merchants would prohibit it, after all, there were many people who collected taxes, and they did not make much money by selling it themselves.

After saying that the mine is originally a resource of the country, instead of giving these merchants the qualifications to sell salt and making them bigger, it is better for Qi Xiaobai to sell it himself and make money by himself, and by the way, he can suppress the power of the merchants.

"Duke Huan, we will use Sado Island as a base to conquer Dongyi Island!" Wang Yi said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai was stunned when he heard this, Dongyi Island is a huge country like Chu State, and to conquer it, it requires a huge number of troops, and it also has to go by sea, and the transportation cost is probably very high......

Of course, Qi Xiaobai also wanted to conquer Dongyi Island, but Qi Xiaobai didn't think that this could succeed.

Of course, if Qi Xiaobai has the strength of the entire empire, then it is very simple to conquer the Dongyi Island Country.

Guan Zhong looked at Wang Yi: "Do you think it's possible?" Rely on the power of Qi to conquer Dongyi Island? ”

Even if you can conquer, Qi can't go, after all, if you want to go, it will definitely mobilize the army on a large scale, what if other countries take advantage of the situation at this time?

"Dongyi Island and my Qi country face each other across the sea, the distance is not far, but it is not close, if you want to go to the East, I am afraid that you will have to pour the power of the country!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Wang Yi and said.

"Fei Ye, Fei Ye, Huan Gong, Zhong Jun, the reason why the two of you feel that you can't conquer Dongyi Island is because you feel that the Dongyi Island Country is a unified country!" Wang Yi said to Qi Xiaobai and Guan Zhong.

"But the current Dongyi Island Country is divided into sixty-six forces, and the big force is about the same size as a city, and the small force is as big as a place here!" Wang Yi said to Qi Xiaobai and Guan Zhong.

Qi Xiaobai and Guan Zhong were stunned, indeed, they felt that they couldn't conquer it, this was because they felt that Dongyi Island was a unified force.

Previously, Dongyi Island was indeed a unified force, and their leader was called the Emperor, but the Shogun rebelled and supported the Emperor's younger brother to succeed the Emperor, and the Emperor fled to the south of Dongyi Island, issuing an order calling on the southern daimyo to go to the north to quell the rebellion.

A situation of confrontation between the north and the south was formed, and the confrontation between the north and the south was better, at least the two forces unified half of Dongyi Island, but the daimyo in the north did not support the leadership of the northern emperor or the shogun, so the daimyo were independent of each other.

And when the south saw that the north had become independent, they also did not obey the emperor of the south, and each became independent, and the confrontation between the north and the south was formed, and the confrontation of sixty-six daimyo was formed.

In the island kingdom of Dongyi, the status of the daimyo was similar to that of the princes of the empire.

Although the sixty-six daimyo were independent, they still had to honor the emperor as their leader, after all, the emperor of Dongyi Island was similar to the emperor of the empire.

However, the emperor's power is greater than that of the emperor, after all, the emperor has soldiers, money, and food in his hands, and it is still possible to deal with one daimyo and two daimyos.

Because the daimyo became independent, the northern and southern emperors had to crusade against the daimyos under their banner when they faced off.

The daimyo were not stupid, they couldn't beat one of them, and they could form an alliance, so the emperors had to compromise and deign to unite with the daimyo to go north and south to compete for legitimacy.

The emperor of the south is the emperor worthy of the name, and the emperor of the north, they are the emperor of the shogun, and the reason why the north does not cooperate is because it is the north led by the shogunate, and the shogun has to do the same thing as the emperor of the south, to unite the daimyo to crusade against the disobedient daimyo.

It can be said that Dongyi Island at this time is no longer a unified island country, he has sixty-six forces, and among the sixty-six forces, there are two major forces fighting each other, which can be said to be chaotic and chaotic.

After Wang Yi told Qi Xiaobai about the Dongyi Island Country, Qi Xiaobai nodded, he already understood that the Dongyi Island Country was divided into sixty-six forces, and two of the sixty-six forces fought with each other.

The opponent of the Sado family is the power of the Southern Emperor, and their opponents are ready to use the Southern Emperor to conquer the Sado family.

And the Sado family is definitely not an opponent of the Emperor's power, the largest force in the south, so they can only ask for foreign help.

Of course, the Sado family also thought of forming an alliance with other daimyo to resist the Southern Emperor together, but the Southern Emperor was the supreme leader of the Southern after all, and under his call, several powerful daimyo wanted to get some resources from Sado Island, and they responded to the Southern Emperor's call.

The biggest force in the south, plus the strongest daimyo in the south, such a formation, there are really few people who dare to form an alliance with the Sado family.

Although the Sado family is small, it is an island after all, and the fishing industry is very developed, and getting the territory of the Sado family is a way to get an income for your country.

Of course, if you can't get this territory, the Sado family has been operating a fishery for some years, and after defeating the Sado family, there is no problem in getting some money from his family.

If the Sado family was not an island, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it might have been destroyed long ago, and now the Sado family is relying on an island, defending against his hostile forces, waiting for Sado Keiko's reinforcements.

If you can't wait for reinforcements, it will only take three months, and the Sado family will definitely be defeated......

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the emperor's forces are some distance from the Sado family, and it is impossible to mobilize troops on a large scale, and the so-called emperor's alliance army is only 3,000 people......

And the Sado family has gathered all the strength of the family to resist, and it can be regarded as raising enough troops of more than 1,000 people, plus natural dangers or something, there is no problem in sticking to this island!

Of course, if the emperor's forces want to resolutely take this island and keep sending troops for three months, they will basically have to fall.
