Chapter 77 The Prairie Wind Rises

"What? Another war?"

Camisiro looked at a document that Du Wei handed to him in astonishment.It read "Sanctions against Saladin for breach of contract to boycott imperial trade".

It took Du Wei several days to write it slowly.

The reason is simple, that is, last year, Saladin adopted some softer methods, trying to prevent the trade deficit between the empire and the grassland without arousing public anger.

It is nothing more than propagating some remarks about the threat of the empire, causing panic among the people.In the case of external wars, the prairie people did gather a huge sense of unity, which dealt a big blow to the trade between the empire and the prairie.But unfortunately, Saladin's calculation was wrong.He clearly heard that the criminals had lost to the empire, and logically speaking, it should be a situation where both sides suffered. Originally, he was full of confidence in the criminals.But never expected the wizard to retreat suddenly at this time!Without magic aid, the entire war layout has changed.As a result, the first battle was defeated with a loss of one to three.The prairie people lost the lives of [-] cavalrymen, but they didn't even kill [-] orcs.

This caused Saladin's reputation to be greatly damaged on the grassland!There are even many small tribes that have begun to move to places close to the empire, trying to continue to establish long-term trade with the empire.

Saladin was furious, but he still didn't dare to slaughter those tribes.Otherwise, I'm afraid it will really become the target of public criticism.

And this time is when the grassland is the most vulnerable!

"Your Highness, do we really want to take action on the grassland? The empire has only been over a year since the end of the last war, will it..."

"Why, wait until our morale gradually declines and the grassland gradually becomes stronger?" Du Wei glanced coldly at the newly promoted military star, "The empire has been sharpening its soft knife for several years. Their big Snow Mountain is now at the moment of reorganization and instability. When the reorganization is completed and the power axis of the grassland is regained from Saladin to Daxue Mountain, what we are facing is not a grassland that is playing with things and losing hope and the people's hearts are unstable. A prairie with a strong faith and a huge number of cavalry!"

Camisiro saw Du Wei scolding this kid, but he didn't care. Instead, he bowed and asked: "Shoot the prairie people, mobilize the army, food and grass... The imperial finance needs a budget of about 2000 million gold coins. The Ministry of Finance will Not for a while...?"

Du Wei rubbed his forehead: "Don't worry about money. Believe me, the empire doesn't have to pay for this war. After you go back, study this report with Munes carefully, and then make a detailed plan. .In three days, I want to see the results."

Although Camisiro was puzzled, he retreated.

Enter the Munes house.

Camisiro approached the door again.Munes, an old man wearing a pair of glasses, squinted his eyes and looked at the document carefully.

After a long time, he took off his glasses and sighed softly. "Our Royal Highness the Regent is truly unprecedented and unprecedented! This old man thinks he has played with money all his life. Compared with this Regent, he really pales in comparison!"

Du Wei's report, where there is no military plan, is simply a conspiracy to kill without blood!No, it should be Yangmou!

The current situation on the grassland is a very delicate situation.

It can be said that Saladin's mastery of the army has reached its weakest period!The war with criminals failed for the first time, and the two sides are still in the process of confrontation.He now has two paths to go.

First, completely seal off the empire's trade, and risk offending the empire to death, and restore the grassland to its previous state.The benefits of this are obvious, and the empire will definitely not let this kind of thing happen. Saladin can erect an illusion that there is a big enemy outside on the grassland, and stabilize the morale of the army.But the downside is that they completely lost the allegiance of the population who accounted for more than half of the grassland population, and it could even be said that they personally pushed these people to the side of the empire!And losing the iron aid of the empire, it is not a good thing for the frontline war with the orcs!

Second, leave these small tribes alone and continue to trade with the empire on a large scale.There are many benefits, and it will bring vigorous vitality to the grassland, but it will cause a large-scale loss of war horses, and the grassland will lack follow-up combat power.But in disguise, you can get the support of the empire!The downside is... the morale of the army!There will definitely be a large number of tribes who will leave their own tribes and disperse the forces they have finally gathered.And those small tribes may not be loyal to themselves!

In fact, rulers always face such a problem, that is, how to manage their subjects.Treat them well, and they'll expect more, and resent any less.If it is not good for them, it will accumulate huge conflicts!

If it was placed in the past, Saladin would naturally implement the policy of iron and blood and bloody suppression without hesitation.But at this special moment, there are orcs in the front, empires in the back, and Snow Mountain is also reorganizing!There is no doubt that this snow mountain is the biggest threat to his regime!Snow Mountain will not allow such a huge force to appear on the grassland, it must be broken down into multiple small forces to ensure Snow Mountain's dominance.If one goes wrong at this time, then he will die without a place to bury him.

But if you don't do anything, it's even worse!Step by step, he will be watched as the empire and the snow-capped mountains put the noose around his neck!

On the other hand, the empire is much freer.Whether there is trade or not, the impact on the empire is negligible.But if you dare to refuse, it is the reason why the empire beat you!If you don't refuse, just wait for the empire to slowly eat away.

Now, just wait for what this Saladin does.

And Du Wei's plan is also very simple.It is to lower the price and dump!When the time is right, the army will follow immediately!However, as Saladin's methods are different, different methods are adopted.

If Saladin closed the trade, the empire would not immediately send troops to suppress the border as Saladin thought.Instead... smuggling!Large-scale air force smuggling, smuggling in the official capacity of the empire!Subsidized by the empire's finances, all trade prices will be reduced by [-]% or even more than doubled!Don't forget, this trade originally existed as a huge trade deficit biased towards the empire.Even if the empire lowers the price, there is still money to be made!And this will directly defeat Saladin's purpose of stabilizing the military.

And if Saladin adopts a laissez-faire attitude, it will lower the price to death, but close the trade with Saladin's tribe!There are many reasons, just find one.Anyway, Saladin was originally resistant to trade.I'm afraid it won't take a few months. Before the Great Snow Mountain is established, the mutiny of the army alone will be enough for Saladin's regime to fall apart in an instant!

As for the criminals, Du Wei was not worried at all.Because the dwarves basically lived in the mountains.Orcs are a minority after all.And such a huge mountain is enough for dwarves and orcs to live.If the prairie people didn't harass them, the criminals wouldn't want to fight at all.However, Saladin specially approached the family in order to divert conflicts within the clan.At this point, it can only be said that Saladin made a wrong calculation, and he did not expect to lose a game, which made the situation worse.When everything is waiting for the morale of the army to collapse, the empire will be able to disintegrate it in an instant!

In Du Wei's report, a variety of commodities were highlighted, ranging from daily necessities to luxury goods, weapons, and so on.And the use of each commodity is marked with an explanation.This extremely sophisticated document made Munes amazed.Everyone in the Ministry of Finance gathered together and discussed overnight. In less than two days, an official document of the empire was concocted.

But now, just wait for the reaction on the grassland.
