Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 234
Zhao Kuangyin felt Zhu Qi's murderous intent and asked with an unchanged expression: "I live in seclusion in Aoshan, rarely go out, and have ignored worldly affairs for many years. I must have put a lot of effort into finding this place!"

Zhu Qi nodded and said, "Sir is right. In order to find Mr. Zhu, Zhu searched the entire imperial city. Finally, he found out where Mr. was from the emperor."

Zhao Kuangyin calmly probed: "Since I have worked so hard to find this place, it means that the Ming Empire is ready. I don't know when the Ming Empire's army will go north."

Zhu Qi couldn't help but secretly praise Zhao Kuangyin.

Sure enough, every founding emperor was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Not only did Zhao Kuangyin have terrifying martial arts aptitudes, he had become a land immortal by force; he also had a sharp mind and could see the subtleties.Just by changing his Qi and revealing his murderous aura, he could understand the layout of the Ming Empire. It was really amazing!

Zhu Qi: "To be honest, sir, the empire has been preparing for a long time. The army is divided into three groups and is heading north to prepare for a surprise attack on the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty on New Year's Eve."

Zhao Kuangyin did not panic at all, but commented quietly: "This method is good, it can win by surprise! New Year's Eve is also a good time. If you are caught off guard, it will not be a big problem to capture the capital of the Song Dynasty."

Zhu Qi looked at Zhao Kuangyin very curiously.

He had never thought that the Taizu of a country would be so calm in discussing with him the capture of his own capital.Just Zhao Kuangyin's determination and his unobtrusive demeanor and demeanor can't help but make people feel heartbroken.No wonder Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in a yellow robe by his subordinate back then?
Zhao Kuangyin was the only one who was forced to proclaim himself emperor by his own generals!

Although there must be Zhao Kuangyin's ambition in this, it is enough to see Zhao Kuangyin's personality charm for his general to be like this!
With Zhao Kuangyin's character, methods, and magnanimity, even if he did not take away the foundation of the Northern Zhou Empire, he could create a great cause like Emperor Hongwu.

Seeing Zhu Qi's stunned expression, Zhao Kuangyin changed the subject and said to Zhu Qi: "The Ming Empire's army is ready to attack. That little friend who is here tonight must be here for me."

Zhu Qi looked at Zhao Kuangyin very frankly and sincerely and said: "With Mr. in charge, the foundation of the Song Empire is as stable as Mount Tai! If the Ming Empire wants to swallow up the Song Empire, it has to come to find Mr."

Zhao Kuangyin was not angry at all when he heard this.Instead, he looked at Zhu Qi very curiously and said: "My little friend has been promoted to land immortal at this age, which is the best in ancient and modern times. Today, I am here alone, but I am confident that I can win."

Zhu Qi: "Sir, I have great insight. If Zhu dares to come to see you alone, I have absolute confidence! Zhu has not practiced as long as Mr. Zhu, but Zhu believes that Mr. Zhu is by no means his opponent."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhu Qi who was full of confidence, laughed and said: "Interesting, I have lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I have seen someone like my little friend."

"However, I have some questions? The Ming Empire has a vast territory. I wonder why the Ming Empire insists on attacking the Song Empire? If the Ming Empire devours the Song Empire, the five grassland countries will never sit idly by and ignore it. The Ming Empire is confident of resisting the Eastern Song Dynasty. Enter!"

Zhu Qi looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said: "The Ming Empire does not need to resist the eastward march of the grassland, but the grassland must resist the Ming Empire's westward march!"

Zhao Kuangyin trembled: "Western Expedition!"

Such a familiar word. Back then, wasn't I just thinking about the Western Expedition?
pity!Guangyi's glass of wine turned everything into nothing, and he no longer had that spirit!

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin who was slightly absent-minded, Zhu Qi said with burning eyes: "The Ming Empire not only wants to devour the Song Dynasty, but also conquer the grasslands westward. The goal of the Ming Empire is to unify the mainland of China."

Zhao Kuangyin's expression condensed: "To unify China, the Ming Empire has great courage!" He seemed to be recalling, as if he was remembering.

Zhao Kuangyin said quietly: "Back then, when I founded the Song Dynasty, I also had the intention of conquering the grasslands to the west. However, I never thought about unifying China. I never thought that the Ming Empire would have such ambitions. I admire you!"

Zhu Qi smiled calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "Since the ancient times, the Queen of China, the continent of China, has been constantly changing empires. I dare not say that no one has ever had this great wish to unify China; but with great courage and a big plan, they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and implement their great wishes step by step. I’m afraid there aren’t many!”

"Zhu Hongwu is so awesome! I'm not as good as him!"

Sighed for a long time!

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Little friend Zhu, if you say so, the Ming Empire is preparing to annex the Song Empire first, then destroy the Xixia Empire, Khitan Empire and the Jin Empire; then, gather troops to conquer the Qing Empire and the Yuan Empire. Finally, with half The power of China will march eastward, conquer the Han and Tang Dynasties, and then attack the Qin Empire and the Xiongnu Empire to unify the mainland of China."

"In this case, it makes sense for the Ming Empire to go north to attack the Song Empire."

After hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, Zhu Qi couldn't help but complain.As expected, none of these founding emperors was a fuel-efficient lamp. Zhao Kuangyin kept saying that he had no idea of ​​unifying China, but in his words, he explained the strategic plans of the Ming Empire one by one.

Zhu Qi can be sure that Zhao Kuangyin must have made deductions about the situation in China mainland, otherwise it would never be like this!
Zhu Qi: "Mr. Zhao is really powerful and has a keen eye. The planner of the Ming Empire can see clearly!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "The Ming Empire's unification of China has something to do with it, little friend! I met Zhu Hongwu back then. Although Zhu Hongwu was extraordinary, I'm afraid Zhu Hongwu only thought about the idea of ​​unifying China. Even if he had a plan, he would never do it. So fast!"

Zhu Qi said with a smile: "Zhu's methods are indeed used to plan the Song Dynasty Empire!"

Zhao Kuangyin said noncommittally: "Many empires in the Chinese continent have land gods sitting in command. The Ming Empire wants to attack other countries and unify China. It must have means to suppress the land gods. When the Ming Empire was founded, although Zhu Hongwu suppressed and killed all the land gods, A land god from the Yuan Empire, but this method alone is not enough for the Ming Empire to unify China!"

"If my guess is correct, Zhu Hongwu's method must have some limitations or backlash! Otherwise, according to Zhu Hongwu's temperament, he should have sent his troops to the west back then!"

"Now, the Ming Empire's army is waiting for help, and I have found my husband again. I am afraid that I have solved the hidden dangers of Zhu Hongwu's method of killing the land gods."

Zhao Kuangyin wonders if any land gods died in the ancient human emperor era?
However, there is no clear record in history books of any land gods being suppressed and killed.

In these years, the Ming Empire showed off its power in the western grasslands, and the Song Empire tolerated the Ming Empire in every way.The most important thing is that when the Ming Empire was founded, Emperor Hongwu suppressed and killed a land immortal from the Yuan Empire.

The death of a land god shocked the entire Chinese continent!

No one thought that gods on land would also be killed!

It was precisely because of the threat of Emperor Hongwu's killing of land gods that all forces shunned the Ming Empire, the Ming Empire's decrees were implemented without compromise, and the Ming Empire's national power grew so quickly!
