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

"Your Majesty, sending a large army into the Southern Song Dynasty is problematic in itself, right? Even if it is to pursue Kublai Khan!" Zhao Shirong twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Houzhao really knows how to cause trouble.

No country would allow this, right?
Even if you want to enter the territory of the Song Dynasty, you can only do so after communication between the two parties.

Moreover, why did Zhu Houzhao talk about the Southern Song Dynasty and not the Great Song Dynasty?
Is this because of the bad relationship between the two parties, and the other party does not even recognize the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty?
But the Song Dynasty itself was founded by Zhao Kuangyin, and even the Northern Song Dynasty no longer exists.

"But we are chasing Kublai Khan, and why can Kublai Khan directly enter the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty?!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhao Shirong with a half-smile and asked.

Kublai Khan invaded the Song Dynasty!" Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Shirong still tried to calm Zhu Houzhao's anger.

Although Zhao Shirong himself knew that this was unrealistic.

Without Zhao Kuangyin's acquiescence, how could Kublai Khan have entered the Song Dynasty? The military strength of the Song Dynasty was a little weaker, but it was not that weak.

At least it was almost impossible for Kublai Khan to enter the Song Dynasty like no one else.

But Zhao Shirong didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin was thinking. Could it be that he wanted Kublai Khan to join forces with Zong and Lianheng to deal with the Ming Dynasty?
This seems very possible, after all, the current Ming Dynasty is indeed too powerful.

Any country that is a neighbor of the Ming Dynasty will be full of fear of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is not the kind of country where humans and animals are harmless, hello, me, everyone, and everyone develops together.

Zhu Houzhao's ambition is huge, and Zhao Shirong will not deny this.

This guy's ambition may be the entire mixed martial arts continent!
As for the Song Dynasty, which was just around the corner, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have no reason not to care. After all, the Song Dynasty's military capabilities were too weak, and in terms of economy, it was the best among all countries.

At one time, Zhao Shirong also believed that the economy of the Song Dynasty was the best in the entire Zongwu Continent. However, after witnessing the rise of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Shirong also saw what true wealth was. Moreover, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty was also visible to the naked eye. The speed is increasing.

I believe that it won’t be long before the Ming Dynasty will leave the Song Dynasty behind.

"Is it true that he broke into the Song Dynasty?" Zhu Houzhao smiled noncommittally: "Okay, I reluctantly accepted this statement."

Zhao Shirong was slightly relieved when he heard this.

Zhu Houzhao just accepts it.

This is not the time for the Song Dynasty to have a falling out with the Ming Dynasty. If there is a fight, not to mention what will happen to Kublai Khan and whether he will die, the Song Dynasty will not be able to withstand Zhu Houzhao's anger.

The current military strength of the Ming Dynasty is definitely the first in the Zongwu Continent.

But Zhu Houzhao did not have the slightest intention to be militaristic. Even if the war with Dayuan was like this, and there were even millions of troops fighting, the lives of the people of Dayin were not affected much.

Even the prices of some conventional supplies have not been affected at all.

The common people are living quite well.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Shirong also knew that if Zhu Houzhao was really cornered, he could definitely recruit millions of troops.

Ming Dynasty may have a certain influence by then, but it will still be within the tolerance of Ming Dynasty.

But by that time, the Song Dynasty was really going to be finished!
The Ming Dynasty today is not the Ming Dynasty back then. Only those who have a deep understanding of the Ming Dynasty will know the power of the Ming Dynasty.

And the Song Dynasty is no longer the Song Dynasty it used to be.

At the beginning, they were ambitious and wanted to become the overlord of Zongwu Continent. Moreover, they almost succeeded and annexed Dali and Jin. If they really annexed Northern Song Dynasty, then Song Dynasty would become a superpower. However, because Zhao Kuangyin lost to Kublai Khan, the benefits brought by the continuous victories of Southern Song Dynasty disappeared all at once.

The current Song Dynasty is actually slightly stronger than the Song Dynasty before Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, but not too strong.

This is still in terms of military strength. If we include the economy, the Song Dynasty has a tendency to go backwards.

After all, during this period, the Song Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and it also had to build Dali and the Jin Kingdom, and arrange for those Northern Song people who fled into the Southern Song Dynasty. Even the finances of the Southern Song Dynasty were somewhat overwhelming.

These things, according to Zhao Kuangyin's earliest plan, would take more than ten years to accomplish.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao and Kublai Khan's pace was too fast, but Zhao Kuangyin had to speed up. This is also due to the Northern Song Dynasty's lack of strength.

You know, when the Northern Song Dynasty first went to war with the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty also tried its best to help the Northern Song Dynasty.

Yang Ye was from the Southern Song Dynasty. As a result, Yang Ye, the guest army, became the main force against the Yuan Dynasty.

Except for Di Qing, there was no one in the Northern Song Dynasty who could fight. Moreover, Di Qing did not have much power in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the end, he was attacked from both sides and died in the hands of Kublai Khan.

In this regard, Zhao Kuangyin just wants to say that he is not afraid of god-like opponents, but is afraid of pig-like teammates.

Many people say that the Southern Song Dynasty's military strength was stretched, but the Northern Song Dynasty seemed to be weaker.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao didn't know about this matter. If he had known, he would really agree with Zhao Kuangyin's idea. After all, the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed a bit stretched.

In history, the Northern Song Dynasty was easily overthrown by the Jin Kingdom, which was also a historical shame for the Han Dynasty.

As far as Zhao Ji and his team's record is concerned, being insulted like that is actually their own fault.

But the Southern Song Dynasty still really had no choice. Facing a behemoth like the Yuan Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty persisted for a long time.

If the Northern Song Dynasty came to fight with the Yuan Dynasty, in that situation, I am afraid that none of them would be completely gone within a year or two.

In this world, the Southern Song Dynasty is indeed good, at least much better than the performance of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At least Zhu Houzhao didn't find a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Di Qing was indeed pretty good, but he was severely suppressed internally.

People like Tong Guan are also suppressing Di Qing.

The two Song Dynasties suppressed generals very well, among which the Northern Song Dynasty was the most powerful.

Zhu Houzhao once curiously asked Zhao Ji why he suppressed Di Qing so much. Logically speaking, even if they didn't understand military affairs, they could still see that Di Qing was much more powerful than other generals in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Why use Tong Guan but not Di Qing?
In this regard, Zhao Ji also told Zhu Houzhao very innocently: It is not up to him to decide whether to use Di Qing. Di Qing is not from the scholar-official class. Even if Zhao Ji wants to promote Di Qing, it will be useless. The scholar-officials do not accept Di Qing.

They were worried that Di Qing would lose control after gaining status.

But Tong Guan is different. He is a member of Zhao Ji, but he also has the support of literati, who appreciate this kind of eunuch who likes to read the most.

This is the main reason why Di Qing was not given important positions, but Tong Guan was able to lead troops to fight. (End of this chapter)
