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

At the same time, Wu Qi was also advancing slowly, continuously pushing his army into the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The current Ming Dynasty seems to be determined to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

Not only Wu Qi's army, but also Zhang Fei and Wei Yan's 100,000-strong army are heading towards the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, this is not what worries the Southern Song Dynasty the most. What makes them most uncomfortable is that the Ming Dynasty’s navy has begun to exert its strength.

They surrounded the coastline of the Southern Song Dynasty and blockaded them layer by layer.

The Southern Song Dynasty had a huge demand for maritime trade, and its dependence on maritime trade was also quite high.

But at this moment, their maritime trade routes were directly cut off by Zhou Yu, which was something the Southern Song Dynasty had not expected at the beginning.

When did the Ming Dynasty have such a navy?
You know, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Southern Song Dynasty!!
Even the Southern Song Dynasty had the idea of ​​attacking the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense. They had originally planned to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's lack of awareness and use its navy to raid Tianjin and then launch a surprise attack on Beijing. At that time, they could also force Zhu Houzhao to withdraw his troops.

But at this moment, the Ming Dynasty's navy was clearly beyond their expectations.

The Song Dynasty's navy was actually crushed when facing Zhou Yu's army.

There was no way. Although the State of Song also had a navy, this navy actually still maintained the appearance of a naval force.

In fact, its combat capability is not that strong. Compared with the current Ming Dynasty navy, there is a world of difference.

But this is Zhou Yu. Throughout history books, Zhou Yu is very famous for his water battles.

Zhu Houzhao felt that when it came to naval battles, in ancient times, Zhou Yu could definitely be ranked in the top ten, and could even compete for the top five.

There is no need to say anything else. The Battle of Red Cliffs alone is enough to make Zhou Yu famous through the ages and directly enter the top ten...

It can be said that because Zhu Houzhao began to exert his strength, the Southern Song Dynasty was unable to import or export, and it was almost impossible to trade by sea.

Unless they can defeat Zhou Yu's army!
But is this possible?
You know, this is Zhou Yu!
Moreover, the ships between the two sides are not of the same level!
The sea was blocked by the Ming Dynasty, and Cheng Zhibao's army in the north was suppressing Han Shizhong and Cao Bin!
Even if Zhao Kuangyin called Yue Fei back and called him to resist Wu Qi, he would still not be able to hold out!
The Ming Dynasty had too many troops and too many outstanding generals, and the gap in military strength between the two sides was too big.

It can be said that in just over a month, Zhao Kuangyin was almost defeated by Zhu Houzhao and the country was on the verge of losing its sovereignty and humiliating him.

However, being beaten and losing power and humiliating the country seemed to be a common occurrence for the State of Song.

At least Zhu Houzhao did not feel that he had lost power and humiliated the country. After all, he felt that it was normal for the Song Dynasty to do anything aggrieved.

For an ordinary country, it would be a loss of sovereignty and humiliation, but for the Song Dynasty, it was nothing.

After all, this is a country that still has to pay losses even if it wins a battle.

Of course, you can also say that the Song Dynasty was fighting an economic war two thousand years ago. After all, because the Song Dynasty had been paying silver as compensation to foreign countries, these countries did not need so much silver, and some inflation occurred.

After all, even a thousand years ago, the IQ of literati in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of people in other countries.

They may not understand the concept of inflation, but they have some impression and understanding of it.

Anyway, it can be exported. The countries that have been compensated by the Song Dynasty have generally become waste countries!
Whether it was the Liao Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty, they were both extremely powerful countries at the beginning, but later on, they had to compete with the Song Dynasty.

We have entered the stage where there is no worst, only worse.

After all, in that era, everyone was competing to see who was worse off. However, in terms of military, the Song Dynasty stated that even if other countries were in a state of internal decline, no country could compare with itself.

Now that the Song Dynasty was beaten into this state by the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao did not feel surprised. He simply handed all power to Wu Qi.

With Wu Qi coordinating at the front, Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't need to worry. Even if Yue Fei broke out, it would be very difficult to fight against Wu Qi.

Moreover, this was at a time when the country's strength was far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Wang Meng, Zhu Houzhao let him start to rest. After all, it was too tiring to continue fighting in the middle of winter.

Moreover, Wang Meng's army was the army that participated in the war for the longest time, fought the most battles, and suffered the heaviest casualties.

Now, it is indeed necessary to take a good rest. Of course, if Wang Meng wants to send one or two small armies out to occupy the grassland, Zhu Houzhao has no objection.

Cao Cao and Chen Qianzhi continued to attack on the grassland. All the tough bones had been defeated by Wang Meng, and now there were not many hard bones left for them.

Under such circumstances, Wang Meng's army could indeed take a break.

Wang Meng naturally had no objection to this. What's more, this time, he had eaten the biggest piece of meat. So far, their army had the greatest military achievement.

Maybe Wu Qi has something to say, but how many troops did Wu Qi's army destroy? How many troops did they have?
The war between the two sides lasted for three years, and Wang Meng almost wiped out Kublai Khan's army of nearly one million!
Although not all of these armies were destroyed by Wang Meng, the main battlefield was still on his side and it was Wang Meng who was in charge of the deployment.

Under such circumstances, Wang Meng's military achievements are unquestionable.

Moreover, the situation on his side is indeed at the end of its strength.

Really need a break.

However, the situation in Dayuan is not very good!
The death of Kublai Khan had a great impact on the Yuan Dynasty!
In the past, Kublai Khan was the alpha wolf. If there was an alpha wolf, the wolves could hunt together and combine their strength.

But Kublai is dead now.

Not to mention Kublai Khan, even Kublai Khan's eldest son died in the war with Zhao Kuangyin.

Subuchi was not killed by Zhu Houzhao, but by Zhao Kuangyin.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin still wanted to keep Jochi. Since Kublai Khan was dead, Jochi, as Kublai Khan's eldest son, still had a considerable status.

If he could keep Subuchi and then support him, then he could use him to achieve some purpose at that time. For Zhao Kuangyin, this was definitely one of the best opportunities.

After all, it would be very difficult for the Song Dynasty to compete with the Ming Dynasty alone!
Zhao Kuangyin saw no possibility of winning. (End of this chapter)
