Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

Chapter 340 Both sides suffer losses

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that those rebels are indeed very weak, and Wei Houzhao has the right to look down on them.

Those armies don't even have regular armor. Look at the armies of Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei. After successive battles, they still have more than 80,000 and nearly 90,000 people.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao asked them to recruit their own troops some time ago, bringing the number back to 100,000.

Now it is not a problem for Zhu Houzhao to let Huang Zhong's 50,000 troops go north.

"It's almost time to deal with the rebels in the south. Many of the rebels over there are behind the Ming Dynasty's Shaolin!" Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and then continued: "I need you to establish a religious management organization, whether it is Buddhism , or Taoism, all need to be restricted to a certain extent.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, several people at the scene also looked at each other.

Zhu Houzhao has always been close to the Taoist sect. This can be seen from Li Chungang and Zhang Sanfeng. If you really count, the Xiaoyao sect that now strongly supports the Ming Dynasty is also a Taoist sect.

"I know what you mean, but there are still some things that need to be done. Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain will support the reform in the future!" Zhu Houzhao paused and continued, "It's just a matter of registration.

There is no intention to directly control them. These things are actually managed by religion.

After that, I will establish a Daming Taoist Association and a Daming Buddhist Association! It is specially used to manage Buddhism and Taoism for me! "

"Yes!" After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, everyone else stopped talking.

After all, this is what Zhu Houzhao wants to do, they just need to be obedient tools.

More than a year has proved Zhu Houzhao's ability. This is also the style of the Ming Dynasty today. Zhu Houzhao speaks from above, and they, the younger brothers, work below.

And people like Zhang Juzheng worked for Zhu Houzhao full of energy. He had good abilities and was obedient, especially in terms of reform. He was also a ruthless person, and Zhu Houzhao would naturally support Zhang Juzheng.

This is the main reason why Zhu Houzhao chose Zhang Juzheng as his first assistant despite having Xun or someone who was not weaker than Zhang Juzheng and loyal to Zhu Houzhao.

The key is that Zhang Juzheng is so useful as a tool man.

"Of course, all this needs to be done after the Shaolin of the Ming Dynasty is destroyed. When the time comes, the Zen Sect of the Ming Dynasty will be leaderless, and this matter can be implemented."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao continued to add.

Ji Yanran looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise. Is Zhu Houzhao going to take action against Ming Shaolin?

"Your Majesty, are you planning to take action?" Ji Yanran quickly asked Zhu Houzhao.

"Well! That's almost it. I'm going to see what Shaolin has the confidence to do these things!

Ming Dynasty does not need such awesome power! Even if there is, it must be me and the court! Zhu Houzhao said sonorously and forcefully.

In fact, the main reason is that Zhu Houzhao feels that the growth of his luck value has been a bit slow recently. He needs to eliminate some enemies to improve his strength.

Ming Shaolin was very powerful, but it was within the range that Zhu Houzhao could solve. The Zen people themselves began to be hostile to Zhu Houzhao, so if they were destroyed, they would be gone.

Zhu Houzhao even wished that they could stand up!

"Do you need our help?" Ji Yanran's eyes trembled and she asked Wei Houzhao.

"No need!" Zhu Houzhao said with a confident look on his face: "Unless they can call Sakyamuni here, Ming Shaolin will be destroyed, I said so!"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao like this, Ji Yanran had no intention of stopping Zhu Houzhao. In fact, she didn't know much about Buddhism.

His master had some contact with them, but he didn't seem to think highly of them. As for Buddhism, just kidding, they can't even enter the Qin Dynasty. There are too many strong people in that land.

Zhang Juzheng and others also remained silent. Since Zhu Houzhao thought it was possible to do this, they would support it!

"Yanran, draft an edict for me to attack Shaolin!" Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "On August 15th, I will kiss Shaolin!"

The news that Zhu Houzhao went to Shaolin on August 15th quickly spread throughout the world.

I don’t know if Zhu Houzhao had a grudge against August 15th. On August 15th last year, Zhu Houzhao’s concubine accepted the challenge from Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, and then Zhu Houzhao himself was assassinated by a mysterious organization.

This also involves the Taiping King.

As a result, on August 15th this year, Zhu Houzhao was going to the Shaolin Temple.

Although it is only the Shaolin Temple of the Ming Dynasty, it is still Shaolin!

All Shaolins have always been united. Can they allow Zhu Houzhao's provocation?

If we really count, Shaolin is definitely one of the largest forces in the world.

It's a pity that they don't have any feelings about family and country in their hearts. Zhu Houzhao knows this, and others also know this.

Even Li Shimin was accepting the benefits from Shaolin while secretly being wary of Shaolin.

Eighteen high-level Grand Master and even Grand Master-level stick monks are indeed quite powerful!

Zhu Houzhao's behavior is tantamount to challenging Shaolin!

Before, Zhu Houzhao had killed the wine-fighting monk. This time, Zhu Houzhao challenged Shaolin again. Did he think that after he proved himself a land god, he would become invincible and that he could challenge the majesty of Shaolin?

There is still more than a month until August 15th, but countless strong men in the world are also heading towards the position of Ming Shaolin.

They also want to see how the battle between Ming and Shaolin will end this time.

Will Shaolin really unite against the Ming Kingdom?

This is what all kings care about.

If Shaolin can delay the Ming Dynasty and fight against the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of other countries will actually be happy to see this happen, but they will also be full of fear of Chen Lin in the future!

As an emperor, no one likes things beyond their control.

This will become a war between the imperial power and the Jianghu.

Some people hope that Zhu Houzhao can suppress Shaolin, while others hope that Shaolin can defeat Zhu Houzhao and let him give up his interests.

After all, Zhu Houzhao had usurped the interests of too many people.

Of course, it would be nice if both sides could suffer losses.

"Amitabha, Master, what should we do about this matter?" In the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of Shaolin in the Northern Song Dynasty, Xuan Nan, the head of Shaolin in the Northern Song Dynasty, respectfully asked an old monk sweeping the floor.

He had already told this ancestor that Zhu Houzhao wanted his horse to step into the Ming Dynasty's Shaolin.

Even though he is the abbot of Shaolin now, the man in front of him still has the final say in Shaolin in the Northern Song Dynasty!

Sweeping monk! That is to say, the legendary Murong Longcheng is consistent with what Zhu Houzhao had guessed before. Shaolin in the Northern Song Dynasty was actually under the control of Murong Longcheng very early.
