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

After all, Zhao Ji had given his daughter to Zhu Houzhao before. Although the Northern Song Dynasty no longer exists, Zhao Ji did gain a lot of benefits for a period of time.

If Zhu Houzhao had not provided assistance to Zhao Ji on horseback, the Northern Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago, without even the need for the Yuan Dynasty to intervene!
Therefore, being Zhu Houzhao's father-in-law is actually not a loss!
As for whether Datang needs Zhu Houzhao's help now?
It is definitely needed!
After all, Li Shimin is now in a somewhat difficult situation both inside and outside.

Li Shimin, who had surrendered to Buddhism, had long been regarded as a traitor by Taoism. In the beginning, the Li family used Laozi as a cover, but now, Li Shimin directly accepted the help of Buddhism, and the relationship between the two sides was naturally not very good.

Buddhism is very powerful, but this is relative. At least when facing Taoism, it is difficult for Buddhism to continue to remain strong.

At least in the Zongwu Continent, Buddhism is indeed no match for Taoism. It’s just that Taoism is unable to integrate many times.

"If Your Majesty wants it, why don't you ask the Emperor of Tang? The Emperor of Tang will not refuse Your Majesty if you want it!" After pondering for a moment, Feiyan reminded Zhu Houzhao.

Although Li Lizhi's arrival might pose a threat to herself, Feiyan said she didn't care because she still had Ehuang and Nvying by her side, and Donghuang Taiyi would also be involved in the future.

With Donghuang Taiyi, Feiyan felt that she had entered an invincible position.

By the way, it seems that Donghuang Taiyi is also an expert in palace fighting, otherwise, he would not have tricked Fuchai in the same way.

Maybe I could ask Donghuang Taiyi for some advice.

After all, I am also a disciple of Donghuang Taiyi. As a master, it shouldn't be a problem for me to teach my disciples this knowledge, right?
"Li Shimin?" Zhu Houzhao's expression was also a little subtle.

During this period, Yang Guang had arranged a large army to launch an attack on the Tang Dynasty. Caught off guard, the Tang Dynasty's army was actually at a disadvantage, which made Yang Guang very excited.

He was no longer satisfied with the victories achieved by the vanguard.

Now Yang Guang is mobilizing a large number of troops and preparing for a large-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao felt that this was all a conspiracy, even though the Tang Dynasty was no longer the same as it once was!
Because of the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty's strength was less than 50% of its heyday.

But Li Shimin and Li Jing are still here.

When it comes to fighting, Zhu Houzhao believes that Li Shimin's ability is unquestionable.

Even a certain great man recognized Li Shimin's ability to fight a war.

It is believed that among all the emperors, Li Shimin's ability to lead troops in battle is the best, and the second one is Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Houzhao also highly recognized Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to lead troops and fight battles.

Anyway, this is not something I can compare to.

Zhu Houzhao is very good at making troubles and fighting, but if you ask him to lead troops to fight, sorry, he is not good at it!!
If Zhu Houzhao really had to do it alone, and there were no people around him who were good at leading troops in battle, then Zhu Houzhao would not be much better than Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty's god of war.

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao knows himself well and he will not do things that he is not good at.

If there really was a need to go to war one day, Zhu Houzhao would take Wu Qi with him.

Bigwigs like Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng were there to give him advice.

With these people around, Zhu Houzhao would not really become Zhu Qizhen! Zhu Houzhao was very curious about what Li Shimin would do at this time.

According to Zhu Houzhao's current estimate, Li Shimin should be trying to lure the enemy deep into the country and then destroy the main force of the Sui Dynasty in one fell swoop. Once these armies are destroyed, the Sui Dynasty will be in danger. Even if Yang Jian rises from the coffin again, he will not be a match for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's character may not be that good, but Zhu Houzhao highly approves of his ability to lead troops in battle.

Yang Guang is going to give himself up for dead!!
Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhu Houzhao.

Although he didn't mind weakening Li Shimin's strength, for the time being, Zhu Houzhao and Li Shimin were not enemies.

At least now, it is difficult for Li Shimin to be a match for Zhu Houzhao.

Even in Zhu Houzhao's view, Li Shimin's enemy should be Ying Zheng.

Zhu Houzhao’s main goal now is to annex the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Once the two countries are annexed, the Ming Dynasty will no longer invade other countries for a period of time.

At that time, if the Qin and Tang dynasties wanted to go against the Ming dynasty, they would need to first destroy the Han and Sui dynasties, and then have a decisive battle. Only the winner would be qualified to fight the Ming dynasty.

Of course, if that time really comes, Zhu Houzhao will not be able to ignore it.

If there really is a country that can gather the power and resources of the four top countries, Zhu Houzhao will also have a headache. This will not only be able to compete with the Ming Dynasty, but will also cause huge trouble to the Ming Dynasty.

However, all of this is just hypothetical, and Zhu Houzhao would not allow such a thing to happen.

Perhaps it is possible that Li Shimin will join forces with Ying Zheng to fight against the Ming Dynasty at that time.

After all, for both of them, Zhu Houzhao is the biggest enemy!
He is the most powerful.

Kublai Khan was a fool and was stubborn, and he betrayed Zhao Kuangyin.

Now Kublai Khan is dead and Zhao Kuangyin is still alive, but the situation in the Song Dynasty is not very good. But if the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty had united at that time, Zhu Houzhao's war plan would not have been so smooth.

Therefore, all this depends on Kublai Khan!!
It's also because this guy is too cruel and too suicidal.

Zhu Houzhao's side continued to grow stronger. It was not that Zhu Houzhao did not want to destroy other countries in one go, but the Zongwu Continent was simply too big!!
Just like the land occupied by the Ming Dynasty now is already larger than the territory of Asia in the previous life.

This is a huge monster in the entire Zongwu Continent.

If it were in the previous life, such a country would have been large enough, let alone on the Zongwu Continent.

You have to know that this world has no radio, no Internet, and even railways have only just been developed by Zhu Houzhao and have only just been developed within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for a country to develop well on such a huge foundation. Now, if you travel from north to south in the Ming Dynasty, even if you ride a horse, it may not take a year to travel from north to south!
This is the enormity of the Ming Dynasty!
Moreover, this is not the limit of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty completely annexes the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be significantly increased.

At that time, how should the Ming Dynasty be governed? This is also what Zhu Houzhao is currently troubled by.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao had thought about dividing the fiefdoms at the beginning. (End of this chapter)
