The biggest difference between today's Five Kingdoms Department and the later Dajin Dynasty is that the Five Kingdoms Department has only one complete face and black bones, which can be worthy of heroism.

Yelu Hongji saw this clearly, and directly attacked the key point with the power of thunder to kill Yan Wugunai, and then quickly integrated a plate of scattered five countries to completely solve the chaos in the north.

You must know that Wanyan Zhandeye's submission this time is not the kind of loose subordinate in the past.

The Great Song Dynasty is changing, and the Great Liao is also changing, even if it can't master the method of change, it can learn from the Great Song Dynasty.

Even the army has been absorbed, and there is no more Ministry of the Five Kingdoms in this world, only the stronger and more prosperous Great Liao Empire.

Tang Yi was surprised that Yelu Hongji's grandson moved so fast, maybe he had already started planning before meeting at sea.

In the original plan, he still thought that the 100,000 military horses of the Five Nations Department would not last for three years and five years? Don't you consume a little bit of Da Liao's vital strength?

With Wanyan Wugunai in the middle, Liaoyang and Liaohekou do not have to face the threat of the Great Liao, and they can just take the opportunity to recuperate for later use.

However, suddenly there was such a thing, and the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Five Nations suddenly became Liaotu, the Liao River Estuary, and Liaoyang, but it was not so easy.

Thinking of this, Tang Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

What a blessing in misfortune! Fortunately, he carried it and helped the Xiao family survive the catastrophe, otherwise......

Imagine that Liaoyang is exposed to the Great Liao soldiers, and Yeluhong's counter-strategy can take shape, making the Xiao family and the Great Song Dynasty have a disagreement, then the Xiao family will still be in danger and still have no roots......

I really can't say.

......

At this time, Fan Zhongyan and others were not just worried about the Xiao family.

Not only was Da Liao not dragged down in the north, but it was not consumed too much, but it added more than 100,000 combat power, which was definitely not a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty.

Lao Jia wrinkled his brows, "If Yelu Hongji lets these 100,000 Jurchen soldiers go south and approach the Gubei Pass....."

"That Di Qing's pressure is not small!"

Fan Zhongyan nodded, it was rare to agree with Lao Jia.

Looking up at Tang Yi, "In this way, your 60,000 Yazhou army can only be nailed to Yanyun and cannot move." ”

"In case there are any variables in the southwest, or Rome or the Sinai Peninsula, then the Great Song Dynasty will even be reluctant to adapt."

Looking at the overall situation, the whole body is affected by one shot, and the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are pressed down, and the Great Song Dynasty is really a little uncomfortable.

Regarding the teacher's worries, Tang Yi came back to his senses, but slowly shook his head.

"It would be a good thing if he pressed the Jurchen soldiers to Gubei Pass....."

"I'm afraid ......"

Tang Yi is really not afraid that Yelu Hongji will contain the Great Song Dynasty in Gubei Pass.

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed a little difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to use troops. However, let's not forget that the military reform has been implemented for more than half a year, and the old, weak, and remnant soldiers in the forbidden army have been basically eliminated.

The key is that Tang Yi gave Yelu Hongji a trick......

Let him go west!

Originally, the battle on the northern front of the Great Liao, even if it was to the west to seek the countries of the Western Regions, it was impossible to do it with all its might, and the results were naturally discounted, and the Great Song Dynasty also took the opportunity to develop in a boring position.

But now, if Yelu Hongji throws all 100,000 soldiers into the Western Regions, what small country can stand in the way?

Give him a few years, and if this grandson can't get it right, he will be able to get through Northeast Asia, go directly to Dongluo's nose, and grab Europe with the Great Song Dynasty.

"Grandma's!" Tang Yi couldn't help but scold.

"This grandson is really dead!"

Why did he let him slaughter the goods?

This is good, before the wise and martial Wanyan Aguda came to the surface of the earth, his father and grandfather let Song Liao be destroyed.

......

"It's ..... now" Tang Yi sighed, quite helpless.

"I can only hope that Yelu Hongji's westward strategy is really a delaying tactic!"

......

——————————

Having said that, can Tang Yi get his wish?

Apparently not.

If Yelu Hongji didn't have this vision, he wouldn't be worthy of being Tang Zihao's opponent.

At this moment, the Great Liao Palace.

Yelu Hongji stared at the mountains and rivers on the case, and the first group of Liao ministers stood silently, waiting for His Majesty's decision.

And Yelu Hongji's gaze paused for a long time in the west, Gaochang, and Huifu......

"Tang Zihao really found a good way out for me!"

Liao Chen was stunned, "Tang Zihao? Don Maniac? ”

For a moment, no one understood where the emperor was starting with this.

"Everyone, look at it!" There was agitation on the face of Yeluhongji, pointing to an area in the western part of the Great Liao.

"On the ship before, I asked Tang Zihao what the way out of Da Liao was."

"It's a joke, but I didn't expect it, the Tang madman really pointed me out a clear way!"

"This large territory is full of all countries, occupies the ancient silk road, and the trade population is extremely prosperous. If you can keep it for yourself, you will be able to nourish the national strength and prepare for the future war! ”

"Huh??" Some Liao ministers were shocked, but they didn't expect that Tang Maniac could still give Da Liao ideas? It's fresh and tight.

Most of the Liao ministers were even more surprised, "Your Majesty means ...... Westward Expansion?? ”

"Yes!" Yelu Hongji nodded firmly. "Go West!"

"But...... What to do over there in the Southern Dynasties?? ”

"If the 100,000 Jurchen army is sent to Gubei Pass, then the Southern Dynasty will be contained, which will be more beneficial to my Daliao, right?"

"Definitely!" Yeluhongki looked up at the crowd.

"On the surface, it is indeed beneficial to Daliao to contain the Great Song Dynasty."

"But, I'm here to ask you, how many people are in the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Yes...... 100 million, right? ”

"Wrong!" Yeluhongki denied. "That was before."

"Now the Great Song Dynasty is actively reforming, eliminating hidden households, re-creating registration, and in addition, controlling the outside of the Ling, collecting Jiaozhi, Cham, Egypt, attacking Rome, and coveting Europa!"

"These hermits, as well as the people in these places, are added together, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are 200 million Song people!"

"But what about Da Liao?"

"It's full, it's only more than 20 million!"

Yelu Hongji's eyes were shining, "The Great Song Dynasty is ten times that of Liao, and the wealth is more than a hundred times." ”

"Under such a gap, the confrontation is tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm, and the consumption is also consumed by the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Therefore, the important thing at the moment is not to go to Gubei Pass and fight with the Song people, but to seize the opportunity to strengthen itself during the period of the Great Song Dynasty reform and lack of skills!"

One finger on the chart.

"The land of the Western Regions can not only allow my Da Liao to occupy a place on the ancient silk road and share a piece of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the entire Western Regions has a large population, and we can move the people of the Western Regions to the east after we defeat it, and enrich the domestic population."

"And the Ministry of the Five Nations, which we just got in our hands, is located in the far north, but the land there is fertile and suitable for farming, as long as a large number of people move in to develop agriculture, it will be a big granary in the future."

"In this way, it can break the control of the Jurchen tribes over the north, why not?"

"And...."

Yeluhongji paused, and looked away.

The giant palm slapped, "To the west!" ”

"Beyond the Great Snow Mountains is the vast grasslands, the land, the Chola Peninsula (India), the Seljuk Empire."

"As long as these places are taken, Daliao will have a territory and population that is not inferior to the Southern Dynasties!"

"When the time comes, it is not known who will lose and who will win!"

......

If Tang Yi was here at this time, he would have to cry.

Yeluhong, this guy, it's a dead hand!

If he really wants to do this series of things, then the trend of half of the world is already irreversible.

Sometimes that's the case, Tang Yi is not the only smart person in this world, and the fortune in this world cannot always stand on the side of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji, the enemy that Tang Yi trained single-handedly, began to show his fangs.

But fortunately, even though Yelu Hongji chose the right path, and he had no last resort and a lofty goal, Yelu Hongji still miscalculated one point, that is:

At the same time that the Great Liao was advancing, the Great Song was also advancing, and ......

The speed is much faster than that of Da Liao!

......

——————————

Five years, like a white horse, passed in a flash.

In the past five years, the Great Liao Empire, under the leadership of the Ming Lord and Holy Monarch - Yelu Hongji, has been united as one, almost frantically catching up with the footsteps of the Great Song Dynasty.

100,000 Jurchen soldiers marched all the way to the west, advancing frantically. Everywhere they passed, the Liao carried out almost destructive policies, frantically plundering the population of the Western Regions.

Originally, the Gaochang, Hui, and Black Khan states had a population of nearly 5 million in the entire Western Regions, but now, except for the cities along the ancient Silk Road, which can still be described as "prosperous", all ten cities and nine empty places in other countries have been moved eastward.

The population of the hinterland of Liao surged from 22 million to 26 million in just five years.

And as the Great Liao Iron Cavalry crossed the snow-capped mountains and marched into Chola and East Asia, a steady stream of Semu races poured into the Central Plains and became part of the crazy machine of the Great Liao.

Northern.

The original Jurchen, Bohai and Goryeo territories have been transformed into the rear grain production areas of the Great Liao, and the introduction of corn, sweet potatoes, and cold-tolerant rice varieties from the Great Song Dynasty has made grain production surge year by year, filling the food pressure brought by the increasing population.

A year ago, Daliao's finance and taxation exceeded 10 million yuan for the first time.

And this year ....

Although a considerable part of the fifteen million number was made of war money, it was enough to make the Liao Dynasty full of energy.

One by one, they seem to see: surpass the Great Song Dynasty, crush the Great Song Dynasty, and defeat the Great Song Dynasty one day...... It's right in front of you!

After five years of development, Daliao now has 600,000 elite soldiers, not counting 100,000 Tiefutu.

That's right, 100,000 Iron Floats!

For this kind of heavy crushing, in addition to guerrilla and siege are invincible war beasts, Yelu Hongji has an almost paranoid love, and spares no expense to raise 100,000 to prepare for the battle of Song and Liao.

According to the secret report, the number of the Great Song Dynasty Tiefutu has not changed in five years, and it is still the 10,000 iron armor of the Hades Battalion, and it is hidden and tucked, as a treasure, it has never been out of Kaifeng, and it has no battlefield experience.

Yelu Hongji is even a little looking forward to it, ten to one!!

Under such a disparity, even if your Great Song Dynasty's Iron Floating Tu is a real iron pimple, it will be a discus for you!

......

On the other hand, in the Great Song Dynasty, in the past five years, in addition to the internal restructuring has been smooth, there has been no achievement in the foreign war.

The alliance of Angkor, Tibet, and Dali in the southwest already existed, and even if it did not fight against the Song, it was still a threat.

And in the Sinai Peninsula, the Song general Yang Wenguang, plus a Suma, was unable to advance an inch for five years, and he rested on Sinai. Damascus, which is close at hand, and the holy city, can't be defeated.

If this is changed to the Great Liao Iron Cavalry......

Even if Yeluhonki was no longer a proud and pompous fool, he felt that he would be able to make the Arabs bow down in three months at most.

Europa is okay, the effectiveness of the Great Song on the Europa battlefield is the only one that can be said.

The alliance with the Western Saxacs had already defeated the Eastern Rome and occupied most of Europa.

However, Yelu Hongji was not worried about this, and he even hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would be smoother, and it would be better to occupy the whole of Europa.

Because of Europa's situation, through the new understanding of the world in the past five years, Yeluhonki has basically figured it out.

In order to reverse these, the Great Song Dynasty did not benefit from the war, but had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in Europa.

To put it in layman's terms, it means that Ou Luo Chen is still in the stage of losing money, and the more space he occupies, the more Da Song will pay.

Yelu Hongji can't wait for the Great Song Dynasty to be dragged down by Europa!

In short, in the past five years, although the Great Song Dynasty vigorously cracked down on the fine work of the Liao Dynasty, the news of the Great Liao was not as well-informed as before.

However, only from some clues, Yelu Hongji can also conclude that the speed of development of the Great Song Dynasty is far less than that of the Great Liao.

In terms of military affairs, after the great reduction of the forbidden army, the number of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty has been equal to that of the Great Liao, including the Crusaders, Mamluks and other foreign warriors in the Western War.

In terms of internal affairs, it is reasonable, but the new grain varieties, coupled with the restructuring of all parties, do not seem to have brought too much wealth to the Great Song Dynasty, the court is still so poor, and the life of the people is still the same as before.

Not to mention the population, the Great Song Dynasty relied on itself to make a living, while the Great Liao relied on robbery, which is more efficient, and naturally made a judgment.

According to this trend, it may not take ten years for Daliao to surpass the Great Song Dynasty and become the world's first power.

But....

Is it really as Yelu Hongji expected?

......

————————————

At this moment, the Imperial City of Kaifeng, thousands of miles away.

Tang Yi closed the tax amount reported by the states this year and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

"The annual revenue is only 280 million?"

"It's still not enough......"

On the other side, Xiao Yu and Sima Guang, as the chief and deputy envoys of the three divisions, stared at each other.

"How much more do you want!?" Sima Guang is not calm. "According to your method, no amount of money is enough!"

In Sima Junshi's opinion, I don't know what this madman thinks, he, the third envoy, has not seen money for three consecutive years.

Where does the money go?

Build roads, lay telegraphs!

In the past few years, Tang Yi has been building roads like crazy, and laying cable telegraphs at any cost.

You know, the cable telegraph thing is magical, but....

The pure copper used is Huang Chengcheng, and the cost is so high that he, the third envoy, pays for it and cries.

The finances of the Great Song Dynasty have indeed risen over the years, but they are still poor, and the money has been swept away by the Tang madman.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first, have more children and more trees!!" Tang Yi brought out this sentence that made Sima Guang's teeth itch again.

Shook his face, "Anyway, according to your cultivation method, how much money is not enough!" ”

"Hey...."Tang Yi sighed. We can't help it! ”

Five years ago, a momentary mistake gave Da Liao a chance, and Yelu Hongji really seized it.

Now that Da Liao has gained a foothold in the Western Regions and even Central Asia, he can't stop it even if he wants to. If you want to continue to suppress Da Liao, you can only start from yourself, develop rapidly, and be far ahead.

"Bear with me!" Tang Yi comforted. "When the road network is formed, you will know how many benefits there are!"

......

As he spoke, he got up and walked out.

"Huh?" Sima Guang immediately stopped. "Where are you going? And that's not all! ”

shook the other report in his hand, "Yazhou is on the fifth fold." ”

"Wu Xianggong urged to increase the sea trade tax, it should also rise, right?"

Tang Yi's face was bitter, "You better wait first.....

"Before you came, Wen Papi called me all morning, I guess there was an emergency!"

.....
