Chapter 189: On Paper
After listening to Lu Long's description of adding fuel and vinegar, Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
It seems that Dayi Ningguo is not stiff when he dies, and he still has some capital.
Although Duan Siping stepped up his efforts to cultivate his strength, he was still slightly inferior in the end.
No wonder the history books say that Duan Siping united thirty-seven tribes before finally destroying the Dayi Ning Kingdom, indicating that Duan Siping had no chance of success by relying on his own strength alone.
The development of history always has its inevitable law, although the subjects of the Great Yi Ning State are more burdened because of frequent internal friction, but they are not yet on the verge of collapse, and the common people are still obedient to the imperial court, whether it is the time, the place, or the people, Duan Siping is still lagging behind, I am afraid that it is not the critical time, Duan Siping is not yet the time to raise his eyebrows.
Li Yi pondered for a moment, there are some situations that he still doesn't know very well, maybe he can find the answer from Lu Long's mouth.
So he then asked: "If the eldest brother's news is accurate, can you know how many people and horses have been lost by Tonghai?" ”
"And yes! From what the eldest brother can see, is this Siping weak in the end? Or was there something else that led to this defeat? ”
Hearing Li Yi's series of questions, Lu Long blinked his eyes, frowned and said, "Don't say it, this Qutuo battle!" Although Tonghai suffered a big loss, I don't think it may be able to make Duan Siping admit defeat. ”
"Think about it, Duan Siping was originally an upper-class nobleman in the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, and his father was once a powerful Qingping official, so their family still has extraordinary strength and appeal among the tribes near and far, and they have extensive contacts in the southwest, and the foundation should be very solid."
"If the court of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom wants to eliminate him in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will take time."
"Your second question is very good, this Siping is said to be 30,000 people, and it is not far off. It's just that the weapons and equipment are too poor, and the most disadvantaged thing is the lack of war horses, so there are no decent cavalry. ”
"At best, they only have a small horse farm for grazing in the sea, and there is a serious lack of good horse breeds, and most of the war horses produced are not good at fighting, coupled with the deliberate blockade of Dayi Ningguo, they can't buy good war horses no matter how much money they spend."
"In fact, in other words, they don't have any decent cavalry at all, so if they only rely on the flesh and blood of the infantry and the Great Righteous Ningguo to face the enemy head-on, it would be strange if they didn't suffer."
"This time it's a long experience, and when I go back, I'm going to build up my own ironclad cavalry team, this is not for fun!"
"Then since the strength of the Great Yi Ning Kingdom is superior, in what aspects is it more prominent?"
Seeing that Lu Long had a better understanding of the situation and happened to make up for himself, Li Yi took the opportunity to pretend to be puzzled and asked.
"Hey! Isn't that clear? Dayi Ningguo not only has many soldiers and horses, but also has well-made weapons, there is no shortage of war horses, only these three, Dayi Ningguo can be invincible, Tonghai wants to shake this big tree, hehe! Doesn't that seem a little immature? ”
"Oh! Toji-sama is also there! Lin was polite. ”
Just as he was saying this, Lin Yi had already walked in from outside the hall. He once went to the Liuyi tribe on behalf of the imperial court, and he was also very familiar with Lu Long.
So as soon as they met, Lin Yi smiled and greeted Lu Long, and while the conversation changed, he said humorously: "Xia Guan has heard it a long time ago, Lu Long is well-informed, and he is very clear about the news near and far, and it is true when I see it today." It's just that the news of the Qutuo War, we have just received it, speaking of which, there are also some immature ideas below, since the marshal and Lord Dusi are interested, I might as well interject a few sentences. ”
Seeing Li Yi and Lu Long both nodding solemnly, Lin Yiwei groaned and said calmly: "This great righteous Ningguo and Tonghai have reached the point where either you die or I die, this is an indisputable fact. However, the two sides have been deadlocked for three or four years, but they have not come to a winner, which is a bit incomprehensible. ”
However, if you carefully analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, it is not difficult to understand. You must know that nominally, the Great Yi Ning Kingdom now sits on a country of thousands of miles, with millions of people under its jurisdiction, which can not be described as a small country. The beauty of its palace, the abundance of income, and the fierceness of the folk customs are also obvious to all. Moreover, the Great Yi Ning Kingdom is deeply rooted in the smelting and forging skills of the Nanzhao Ancient Country, and the weapons and iron tools are all excellent, and it is unrivaled when looking at the world. ”
What's more, Dayining has a vast territory and abundant water and grass, and it has a unique advantage in grazing horses and sheep. Especially in Sangchuan, Nanjian, Lufeng and other places, a large number of excellent horses are raised, except for Saiwai, Hetao and other places, Dayi Ningguo can be said to be the largest horse production place in the south. ”
"Therefore, Dayi Ningguo has obvious advantages in these aspects, so that it looks at the four directions, and even our big Han does not dare to directly attack it, and its momentum is indeed not to be underestimated!"
Li Yi shook his head secretly, and said in his heart, after all, Lin Yi is not long-term enough, such a boastful praise of the Great Righteousness and Ningguo, the prestige of other countries, and the destruction of our own ambition, are a bit too much.
Thinking of this, Li Yisun smiled and said: "Master Lin, since the Great Yi Ning Country is so powerful that even our Han does not want to be his enemy, is it possible that Tonghai Duan Siping can only be tied up?" ”
Lin Yi saw Li Yi asking like this, probably knowing that he was also quite unimpressed with his words, and couldn't help but smile faintly: "Otherwise, you probably think that I am so beautiful and righteous Ningguo, and you are a little unconvinced in your heart." But really, as I said, this is just the appearance. If you want to talk about its bones, in fact, behind its seemingly powerful, it is really extremely weak! ”
"The current Dayi Ningguo, on the surface, looks gorgeous, but in fact, the bones are empty, like yellow leaves swaying in the wind and rain, the foundation no longer exists, and there are no branches that can be sustenance, and it is not far from turning into a handful of loess."
"Looking at the whole country of Dayi Ning, except for His Royal Highness Yang Huaiying, who is still worried about state affairs, the other royal relatives and nobles only know how to expropriate and expropriate, take advantage of the plunder, build gorgeous palaces on a large scale, indulge in **, indulge in extravagant pleasures, and do not care about the life and death of the people. Under the heavy pressure of exorbitant taxes and the exploitation of corrupt officials and officials, the common people have almost lost confidence in it. ”
"Moreover, the tribes under its jurisdiction are in harmony with each other, and those who are detached from morality will immediately turn against each other as long as there is a little wind and grass. I think that if it continues to develop like this, it will not be long before the various tribes change their support, and the day of the loss of power and humiliation will not be far away. ”
"I don't know if what I said is right, but please let the two adults correct me." , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
